Chapter 509: Heading to Zhaojue Temple
Zhaojue Temple is about 30 miles away from Gujia Village, which is not too far and not too close.
As soon as the day dawned, it set off, and when it was almost noon, the ox cart was about to arrive at the foot of the mountain of Zhaojue Temple.
"Xianggong, is the Zhaojue Temple on the top of the mountain in front of you?" Ye Qing shook her husband's arm and pointed to the mountain in front of her and asked.
"Hmm." Ji Nanshan looked sideways at his wife and bowed slightly.
"Wang~~~ Mom, such a high mountain, I don't know if the road is steep or not? Is it good to go? The dog raised his head and looked at the mountain in front of him, muttering with some concern to Ye Qing.
It doesn't matter if it's good or not, don't go.
It's all here today, so it's impossible not to climb.
Ye Qing rubbed the dog's head and thought secretly.
A moment later.
Ye Qing looked at the three people and one dog and proposed: "It's noon, we have to climb the mountain later, let's hurry up and eat something now, so as not to have the strength to climb the mountain later." ”
Cheng Huaijin, Ye Hongxuan, Ji Nanshan and Gouzi all nodded approvingly.
Ye Qing used the back basket and the cloth covered it as a cover, and took out a pack of white-flour steamed buns that were still warm from the space, a spoon, and a can of loquat jam that had just been boiled yesterday.
"Xianggong, help use a knife to break the steamed bun in half from the middle, so I can spread the jam."
"Okay." Ji Nanshan nodded, then took out the dagger given to him by his brother-in-law, wiped it clean, and according to his wife's request, cut the steamed bun from the middle, broke it and handed it to his wife.
Soon.
Several people each took a steamed bun with jam in the middle and ate it.
Cheng Huaijin saw that there was no one in front of and behind their ox cart, and on the road, so he laughed in a low voice and said: "Tsk~~~ I really didn't expect that after the little sister made jam yesterday, it really tasted unique." ”
"The jam tastes really good, sweet and sour, and when eaten with steamed buns, the steamed buns are no longer tasteless." Ye Hongxuan also thought the jam was delicious.
"A lot of fruits can be made into jam, such as: apricots, peaches, oranges, grapefruits, etc., and there are many ways to eat, and when the weather is hotter, you can also use the shaved ice of jam, and you can also use jam to drink with water."
"Hehe, that little sister has made new jam in the future, but I have to ask someone to send some to the eldest brother as soon as possible."
"Done."
Ye Qing nodded happily with a smile, and then continued to introduce.
"This loquat jam has the effect of moistening the lungs, relieving cough and reducing phlegm. However, it can't be stored for a long time after canning, it can only be stored for half a month at most, and it will be bad if you put it for a long time, and when the eldest brother and Ye Gongzi are leaving, I will give the eldest brother and Ye Gongzi two cans each to take back, you remember to eat as soon as possible. ”
Cheng Huaijin and Ye Hongxuan nodded.
After each person ate a few steamed buns and drank some water, they ate and drank to their heart's content, talked and laughed, and soon the ox cart arrived at the foot of the mountain.
There are two inns at the foot of the mountain, and at the back of the inn there is a large shed, which is obviously used to park the vehicles of pilgrims going up the mountain, and to tie cattle and horses.
Ye Qing and Ji Nanshan got off the ox cart.
Cheng Huaijin and Ye Hongxuan drove the ox cart to the inn, paid some copper coins, and parked the ox cart there.
It's the busy season for farming.
There are very few people who come to Zhaojue Temple to incense, but it is not nothing, on the way up the mountain, from time to time you will still meet pilgrims who go up and down the mountain.
Fear arouses suspicion.
Along the way, Cheng Huaijin and Ye Hongxuan dutifully played the role of a simple father and son, and rarely talked to Ye Qing and Ji Nanshan.
