Chapter 9 Deliver food to the owner of the bamboo forest
She used to make salt and pepper, which the foreign master told her to make, but now she has no materials, so she can only use simple coarse salt.
Chaolu twisted a bamboo insect with his hand, put it in his mouth, the burnt fragrance is overflowing, and there is a little salty taste, the aftertaste is sweet, the most special thing is that because the bamboo insect eats bamboo, every bite has a faint bamboo fragrance, and I feel that it is not some ordinary food when I taste it.
The remaining three people all tasted this simple bamboo worm, and they were all amazed by the deliciousness of this mountain.
The remaining crucian carp is fried in only two parts, and the rest is marinated in coarse salt and saved for tomorrow.
River crab and river shrimp are stir-fried together to turn red, and seasonings such as soy sauce and salt are added to stir-fry over high heat to give off an extremely attractive aroma.
Coupled with the bamboo worms they ate for the first time, the four of them ate a round belly at this meal, but there was still a little bamboo worm left to eat. Chaolu made the decision to give the bamboo insects to Chaoyang to eat that night, Liu Qing and Li Youqing did not object, and they also took the opportunity to catch a small handful and hide it in the bag.
Will the little snake like such bamboo insects?
At night, when Chaolu entered, the little snake grabbed the cloth pocket on the ground with two claws, and with one force, he still let himself turn over on all fours, and he couldn't turn over.
"How? Are the bamboo worms I threw in delicious? Chaolu untied the knot, opened the cloth pocket, and turned the little snake over.
"Hmm... Salty, but fragrant! The milk doll's voice matched the appearance of a hungry ghost, and Chaolu watched the little turtle gobble up, and was very satisfied.
It seemed that her spiritual spring was already beckoning to her.
"Then what I made for you can be done without salt alone, is it feasible?"
"Okay!" The little turtle eats vigorously, and he doesn't have time to pay attention to Chaolu.
I don't know if it's the illusion of morning dew, the dense fog in the secret realm seems to have faded a lot, and even the grass where she is staying at this time has become greener.
"Are you feeling better? I think there's something wrong with this secret realm. ”
"Well, I'm a little better, but it's still a while before a useful spiritual spring is born, I promise! After a month, you will definitely be able to drink the best spiritual spring! The milk turtle looked at Ayuro with dark eyes.
Chaolu also believed it, looking at the small pool of clear spiritual spring in front of him, and said in his heart, it doesn't hurt to wait any longer.
"Although the current water is not curable, it is much better than ordinary water! You can take it to make it delicious or boil it and drink it, it tastes great! "Little Turtle highly recommends that Asaka try this spiritual spring, which is different from ordinary water.
Although it has no effect, it is much better than ordinary water. Asaka had known this taste for a long time, but the other three people in the family didn't know it yet, so they could take it out and let them taste it.
As for them, if they asked, they would say that they had found a spring in the mountains.
With enough spiritual spring water to boil a teapot, he put the fresh bamboo insects caught today in a knotted cloth pocket, revealing the secret realm.
At dawn, the family was busy.
Liu Qing beckoned to make breakfast and steamed buns for the children and men. Li Youqing and Li Chaoyang followed the men who came early to start working together and finish this new house as soon as possible.
Chaolu boiled tea with Lingquan, gave a cup to each of the men present, and then put the rest in a delicate bamboo tube and set it aside.
The men smacked their lips after drinking, and they always felt that this was not an ordinary family tea.
"The girl of the Li family is really good at making tea, this tea is much better than what I have drunk in the town, but it is not a trick!"
"yes, yes! This tea is sweet and has some indescribable aroma, it is really delicious! ”
Chao Lu waved his hand and explained with a smile: "What's the trick! It's just the dew that is used. ”
The men laughed and worked more seriously.
Chaolu found an opportunity and went up the mountain alone.
She stood outside the bamboo forest and shouted for a long time before she saw a masked man in black who was two heads taller than her come out.
Chaolu obviously felt that this was not the entourage from yesterday, and I don't know who it was, living in seclusion in the mountains, and bringing quite a lot of entourage.
"What?" The man's voice was low, and Chaolu heard a sense of familiarity, but he didn't know where to start.
"The little woman thanks the master for understanding, this is the bamboo insect caught yesterday, according to the method of the countryside to make food, this is the tea boiled in mountain spring water, two small things, in order to express my gratitude, please bring it to your master." Chaolu thanked him, didn't look at the man much after speaking, turned around and left.
The man took the still warm tea, looked up and took a deep look at the girl who had gone away, and after a while, shook his head and entered the depths of the bamboo forest.
It can't be hers, he sent out so many people and didn't find it, how could it be so simple?
Li Yan put the food on the Stone Table Mountain, and Wen Yu on the opposite side was still pale because he used all his energy for divination yesterday, but he was able to joke with him.
"That girl gave birth well! Came to thank you? Wen Yu poured a cup of tea, but was attracted by the sweetness in his mouth.
"The technique is good, this water is about to touch the dew, but this tea is too low-grade." Wen Yu commented.
It is rare for a country woman to work hard to collect early morning dew, but unfortunately there is no good tea in the farmhouse, but good water is wasted.
Wen Yu opened another bamboo tube and smiled when he saw the bamboo insects inside.
"What do you think this is?" Wen Trail Road.
Li Yan looked up, his eyelashes trembling.
Dried bamboo insects! She's done it too!
His heart was pounding, and he was afraid that he was facing another disappointment.
But I still couldn't resist the desire in my heart, so I took a bamboo insect and put it in my mouth.
After a long time, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of Li Yan's mouth and lowered his head.
"She doesn't use this salt, she only uses salt and pepper to make it taste. You eat! I'm going to practice. Li Yan put down his chopsticks and flew into the depths of the back mountain.
After the hard work of a few strong men, the second room after independence looks like a family with only one wall separated from the big house.
Another gate was opened, a peach sign was hung, and a demon mirror was nailed, and it became the most ordinary farmhouse.
Taking advantage of the morning, the morning dew used bamboo to weave a lot of fishing bamboo, different shapes, suitable for different river areas.
Li Youqing found Uncle Niu next door, handed over the bamboo weaving to Uncle Niu, and agreed that if he made money, the two families would be divided into two or eight.
Chaolu is priced at seven cents, and a total of more than a dozen are made, and they are hung on a large string behind the flat pole, which is very spectacular. The two families discussed, and Uncle Niu drove the mule the next day and got up early to go to the town.
Chaolu took the spiritual spring taken out of the secret realm to make breakfast for the family, although it did not have any outstanding effect, but it made the steamed steamed buns even sweeter.
After breakfast, Chaolu ignored Liu Qing's objections and followed the family to the field, and it was time for the five acres of land belonging to the second room to weed the wheat.
Wild grasses that look like wheat but are not wheat stand aside, competing with the wheat for nutrients and sunlight, resulting in some wheat being short and the ears thinner.
When Li Youqing arrived in the field, he picked up a hoe and began to work, Chaoyang followed behind, and another ridge was raised. The men worked in sweat with their hoes, and the women put a sweat-absorbing cloth towel on their heads, squatted on the ridges, pulled out the obvious weeds with their hands, and put them on the ridges to dry.
Otherwise, after a few days of rain, the weeds will take root again and come back to life.
All this was very new to Chaolu, she followed Liu Qing and pulled the weeds seriously, but when she looked up, she found that there were also a few people standing in the field next door.
