Early the next morning, the green branches and glutinous rice flour were mashed, and sesame seeds and pine nuts were smashed, and brown sugar and lard were added as fillings to make glutinous rice balls for breakfast.

Ritsukogawa doesn't like sweet, but he also cooperates to eat a bowl before driving the sheep away.

Qingzhi washed and dried clothes, cleaned up inside and out, and wanted to go to the forest to pick up some wild vegetables, but he also held back and waited near the yurt.

Soon in the afternoon, I saw two small figures holding hands from a distance, and walked down the mountain road cautiously, Su Ma still held a bucket in his hand as yesterday.

Qingzhi ran over and said with a smile: "Su Ma Su Yuan is here?" Didn't have breakfast? ”

"My sister made milk tea before she went out to herd sheep, and we ate dry naan and milk tea."

"Can you still eat rice balls in your stomach? My brother is younger than you, and he likes to eat my dumplings the most! ”

The two dolls were embarrassed to say that they wanted to eat, but their eyes lit up, and Su Yuan said a little shyly: "What is a tangyuan?" ”

Qingzhi beckoned: "It's sweet and soft and delicious, come with me!" ”

She felt that Su Ma and her mother didn't seem to take good care of the children, and her sister had already herded the sheep again, so it should be okay to bring the two children to her house...... Right?

The three of them entered the yurt room, Qingzhi turned the fire hotter, and soon the water boiled, and after waiting for a while, the rice balls were cooked.

The two dolls glanced at each other, and at the same time buried their heads in eating rice balls, Su Ma bit into the stuffing first, and happily exclaimed, "Sweet!" ”

Said to Qingzhi: "I also have sugar at home, and my sister was going to make sweet milk tea this morning, but I didn't find sugar, so I made salty one." ”

Qingzhi brought some candied fruit over, "You like sweets?" Then you can eat a little candied fruit after eating the rice balls! But children can't eat too much sugar in one day, come back tomorrow! ”

Milky voice: "Thank you, sister!" ”

"You're welcome, you're welcome!"

You look so cute, you look like two rice balls, I really want to rub them.

After eating the rice balls, the two sisters snuggled up and sat in front of the fire, their eyes drooping, looking very satisfied.

Since Aoeda learned that the adults in their family were not there, she automatically acted as a temporary guardian, filled their buckets with water, and sent them home before returning from the mountain.

It was a sunny day, and even though Aoeda was in the valley, when I looked up, I felt that the sky was wide and the clouds were hanging low, as if they were within reach.

She was looking at it in a daze, when suddenly a small hand took her hand, and a sweet voice said, "Sister Qingzhi, we brought tea over." ”

Qingzhi lowered his head, and just saw a round, red and white bun face, "Su Yuanyuan!" Why did you come down again? ”

Su Ma raised the tea brick in his hand: "We just saw the boiled water you drank, it's so pitiful, I brought you a little tea, you can make tea and drink it!" I'm afraid you don't have milk at home, so I brought milk. He raised his other hand, and it was a small pot.

Qingzhi thought about it for a while and understood, I had seen it on TV before, saying that nomads all drink milk tea, no wonder the two dolls felt pitiful when they saw her drinking white water.

looks so cute, and is so kind!

She bent down and smiled, "Thank you!" Do you know how to make milk tea? ”

Because I don't know.

Su Ma held up the tea brick: "I know!" I've seen my sister do it many times. ”

Qingzhi returned to the yurt, turned the fire on a little brighter, and according to Su Ma's request, boiled a small pot of water, and then Su Ma took out a knife from his arms, smashed a corner of the brick tea, picked it up and put it in the pot, and some tea crumbs fell by the stove, and she also carefully picked it up and put it in.

"Su ...... Su Ma, you are only eight years old this year, why do you have a knife on your body? ”

"Huh? Everybody has it! Su Yuan is still young, my sister gave it to me, saying that it is more convenient to do things this way. ”

It is also about the habit of nomads, who live in the mountains and need tools at hand at any time.

After boiling for a while, the water turned reddish-yellow, and Qingzhi smiled, "This color is so beautiful!" What kind of tea is this? I thought the brick tea was all reddish-brown. ”

"It's brick tea! I took it from the cupboard at home. ”

Su Ma kept stirring, then poured the milk into it, and asked Qingzhi again, "Do you want to eat sweet or salty?" ”

"I love sweet milk tea! Love it! ”

Su Ma covered his mouth and smiled, "What about your sugar?" ”

Qingzhi took the sugar jar over, and Su Ma didn't put it much, which was probably the habit of the shepherd's frugality.

After boiling the tea, Su Ma put it into three large bowls, and Qingzhi and the two dolls sat cross-legged on the felt and drank it.

Su Ma looked around at the yurt like a little adult: "You don't have a bucket for making ghee at home." ”

"Ghee? I haven't done it, can I do it? ”

Sounds delicious.

The two dolls giggled: "Delicious!" But we haven't done it either. ”

"My sister said that you are from the town under the mountain, and the people under the mountain don't make ghee or drink milk tea?"

“…… It doesn't seem to be. ”

The two dolls looked like, 'They're so pitiful, so pitiful.'

Su Yuan twisted his eyebrows and thought for a while, and said to Su Ma: "But they have rice balls!" ”

Song Qingzhi: Thank you, Tang Yuan, for getting back a point for the town's settlement party.

After drinking the milk tea, the two dolls thanked them in a proper manner, and then took the remaining tea bricks and milk pots and went up the mountain.

Soon after the little guests left, Qingzhi was washing rice and vegetables by the pond to prepare dinner, bending over for a long time, a little tired, when standing up, at a glance saw a fat lady on the opposite hill slowly moving down.

The eldest lady walked very calmly, slowly and methodically, carrying a large basin, and Qingzhi guessed that it was about dirty laundry based on her own laundry experience.

The eldest lady carefully walked around a large rock, stood and took a breath, and then saw the green branches by the pond.

She immediately picked up speed visibly, and soon slipped into the valley, and waved at Qingzhi with a kind smile, and asked from a distance, "Are you a new family to move in?" ”

"Yes, my cousin and I live here now, and he went to herd the sheep."

The eldest lady nodded, walked a few steps closer, and the smell of baked pasta came from her body, and said with a smile: "My surname is Ha, and I live on the top of the mountain opposite with my old man, what is your name?" ”

"Hello Aunt Ha! My name is Qingzhi. ”

Aunt Ha tilted her head and looked at Qingzhi carefully, and Fang smiled again: "Good girl, it's really Peugeot!" ”

The two returned to the pond, Aunt Ha began to wash clothes, Qingzhi had already washed the vegetables, and wanted to go back first after saying hello, Aunt Ha had wet hands, stood up and asked, "Qingzhi, are you at home during the day?" Tomorrow's aunt will come to see you? ”

Qingzhi is happy, just because it is sparsely populated!

"Good! You can come whenever you want! ”

When she returned home, she made a stewed rice with air-dried mutton, and she was a little sullen while cooking: the ingredients on the mountain are really too limited! There is no fresh meat or fruits, and although there are many wild vegetables, the second generation of Ritsukogawa's declining rich looks like he doesn't like to eat.

I don't know what the rest of the herd team eats.
