Chapter 147: Blowing up the palace
readx;
This time, not only Zi Yicheng was angry, but even Xun Ying, who had never said much, was also angry. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 As soon as Zi Yicheng's words fell, after he took the tiger talisman, he jumped on his toes and disappeared in place. Blue Sea Country, this time it was they who did it themselves, so it's no wonder to others.
Yu Ziheng was in the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong and did not return to the Mansion. When Zi Yicheng found him, he was discussing with Ling Sheng what was the best solution to solve Zi Yifeng.
"Ziheng, go!"
Zi Yicheng was short of breath, and his eyes were bloodshot and red. Looking at that expression, it seemed like he was trying to hold back something. This surprised Yu Ziheng, who grew up wearing the same pants as him.
"What's going on?"
"Yi Yi and the others have an accident in the Blue Sea Country, and this king has no time to explain to you now. This time, this king will personally conquer the Blue Sea Country. Uncle, I'll leave this matter of the capital to you. Zi Yifeng, you don't need to worry. If he takes advantage of the king's absence, he can take him down in one fell swoop. This king has already called the original to come back to help you, over there in the Blue Sea Country, this king will go and see the situation first!"
After Zi Yicheng said this, he and Yu Ziheng left one after the other. Ling Sheng had been busy with the affairs of the canal and Zi Yifeng for some time, and suddenly his body shook when he heard that Du Yi and the others had an accident in the Blue Sea Country.
None of the people who sent him were fine. Yang Taishi is her father-in-law, and Zi Ruiyu is the youngest son of the Regent's Mansion, and he is the only bloodline of Du Yi. And Du Yi is the only bloodline left by his sister-in-law. As for Ling Yuanfan's family of three, needless to say, they are loyal to all the hopes of the Marquis Mansion.
The regent is gone, it should be fine, right? The affairs of the court are left to himself, and he can't let the regent down. I have to discuss this matter with my in-laws. Ling Sheng leaned back in his chair, and after thinking about it, he suddenly got up and walked towards the bamboo garden.
After a while, I heard Ling Yang's whimpering voice, coming from the bamboo garden. Even Ying'er, Mama Wei and others couldn't help but quietly wipe away their tears.
"Don't cry yet, this matter, you will only have one voice with your mother-in-law first, and go to Xiangguo Temple to burn pillar incense another day. That's it, I'll go to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War and tell my in-laws the news!"
Ling Sheng was upset. I thought it was just an ordinary mission, but I didn't expect it to become like this.
Ling Yang wiped the corners of his eyes with an embroidered handkerchief, and said in a burping voice: "Master, I'll go with you." ”
Half an hour later, the cry coming from the Shangshu Mansion of the Military Department was more violent than that of the Marquis of Zhongyong. The maid who heard the sound was curious, but she knew nothing.
"My Ru'er and Yi'er, why are they so miserable. Mrs. Lin cried with tears on her face, crying in a voice, because she was afraid that the matter would be publicized, and she would be exaggerated by someone with a heart, so she whimpered in a low voice.
"Mother-in-law, now that we are in the capital, we can't mention what they do, why don't we go to Xiangguo Temple tomorrow to burn pillar incense and pray that they can return safely!"
Ling Yang's chest was filled with a breath of air, there were his sons, daughters-in-law and granddaughters, and in addition to them, there were also her father and niece. God really doesn't have long eyes, when it doesn't wind, but at that time it was windy and rainy.
The people of the Blue Sea Country should be damned, really damned. If she wasn't a woman and a child, she would have wanted to go into battle and take the lead in attacking.
"Okay, I'll be there early tomorrow morning. ”
Ziyi City's departure from Beijing, Zi Yifeng got the news firsthand. He immediately mobilized all the forces in the capital and began to plan the palace change. Xun Ying took the tiger talisman, mobilized 20,000 troops to garrison the border of the capital, handed over the handover of Shuai Yin to the military department, and asked Yuan and Xunhuo and others to recall and protect Zi Ruikun before leaving Beijing.
Blue Ocean Country, Phoenix.
Gu Xiyuan took Ziding and others to stay at sea for about ten days, and after finding nothing, he returned to the capital and rushed directly into the palace.
"If you can't take care of your waste, I don't mind scrapping them. ”
This time, he was genuinely angry. Bai Mei, Du Yi and others all disappeared. The news that Binhai Town came back was only Ling Yuanfan. Du Yi, how important it is, Ziyi City is afraid that in a few days, it will declare war on the Blue Sea Country. Those idiots, are they ready to make the lives of the Blue Sea Country miserable?
"If you want to abolish it, you can abolish it, but the premise is that the eldest prince of my Blue Sea Country is still alive. The emperor looked at Gu Xiyuan's face and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. None of those children were the heirs to the throne in his mind. The person he wanted to choose was disgusted with him and the palace. What kind of sin did he create, the son didn't recognize Lao Tzu. When Lao Tzu is a man, he has to be careful to please him.
"Dead, dead at the age of five. Old man, since that's the case, then don't blame me for making those few wastes worthy of the name!" Gu Xiyuan threw down these words and left.
When he entered the palace this time, he didn't wear a mask, so everyone who saw his face couldn't help but widen their eyes. This man looks like the eldest prince when he was a child, not to mention, the key is that he is very similar to the dead concubine. Now that he can walk around the palace, what does this mean? The eldest prince is not actually dead, in fact, he is still alive?
As soon as this news was disseminated, everyone in the harem was in danger, and everyone's hearts were torn and turned. Especially now that the emperor's health is not good, he is getting weaker and weaker day by day, and there is no prince in this palace. At this time, the great prince appeared, what does this mean? No, no. How can a dead person live again?
With this in mind, it is impossible for a dead person to live again. Therefore, when Gu Xiyuan walked out of the palace, he had already encountered several groups of people blocking him along the way. No, to be exact, a hunt, a blatant murder in broad daylight.
Ziding returned to this Phoenix City again, disgusted in his heart. The air here felt extremely turbid. Blue Moon Country, she is bound to make them pay the price. With this in mind, she set out to prepare.
She's going to make bombs, she's going to blow up the mansions of those three men. The material from which it was made, she remembered. She just had to ask for something else, and she had to buy it with silver. Now I don't have any silver, so I can only borrow it from Gu Xiyuan. When he returns, she will have money. When the time comes, I will ask them to pay it back with blood.
Gu Xiyuan returned to Gu Yuan from the palace, it only took half an hour on weekdays, but this time it took an hour and a half, and all the medicinal powder on his body was used up before he returned to the mansion smoothly.
"Gu Xiyuan, lend me some silver, I have to buy something!" Ziding came back as soon as Gu Xiyuan came back, so he went to the pharmacy and came directly. She doesn't rely on anyone, she has things, and she does it herself, which is better than relying on anyone.
Gu Xiyuan didn't know what Zi Ding was going to do, but he still gave a hundred taels of silver. Ziding went out for a trip, and when he came back, he was locked in his room and busy for a day. On the evening of the second day, after studying the situation of the three palaces with a few secret guards, they went their separate ways.
That night, Baili Ximo and Baili Xichen were recruited into the palace by the emperor, saying that they were serving the disease, and only Baili Xiyang was still closed in the house. It was precisely because the two were no longer in the house that they escaped.
The explosion of the three palaces resounded throughout the Phoenix City. The people didn't know what was going on. When you see it, it's a pile of rubbish. And according to the surrounding residents, the whole ground is trembling. This must have done something terrible, and was punished by God.
Okuyama Island.
Ever since Doy's house was built, the rain has been ticking and ticking. Du Yi felt that he was about to get moldy, and it was really sad to have a day without the sun.
No, it should be said that rainy days are really annoying. If she is not used to eating, she is already very uncomfortable, and this rain makes it difficult for her to walk an inch, which makes her unbearable. Standing under the eaves, Doe watched the rain get heavier and heavier, and his brows became more and more furrowed.
"Dooy, someone's house is no longer inhabitable, it's about to collapse. Can you stay at your house for a few days? You don't have to worry about food. When the weather is fine, the wooden house will be made and then moved. ”
In the evening, Kuang Li came. He didn't want people to come to Duyi, after all, he was a distinguished guest, and it was not good to let others live in and disturb him. In her belly, there is still a baby, and she can't be disturbed.
It's just that this rain has been raining for so long, many of the grass huts are no longer inhabitable, and some have collapsed. In the tribe, many of the newly built families have already taken in many people, and now there is really no way, his family has also taken in two families, and now he can only ask Du Yi for help.
Du Yi looked at his house, there were three, and there were two houses, and said, "Whose house is it?"
"Camille!"
When Doy heard Camille, he remembered the straw hut he had seen that day, and nodded happily.
Camille's family consists of four, a husband, a father-in-law and a son. She herself has a little medical skills, and in this tribe, she is a talent that is lacking. It would be good to let Camille live at home, and by the way, you can learn more about the things in this tribe.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the ground has become like a river. When Camille's family arrived, it was already dark. Du Yi and Begonia were cooking in the kitchen when they heard a sound outside and walked out.
"Camille, are you alright, come over and make a fire!" said Doe, and asked Begonia to bring out a pot of charcoal. Don't look at it as a big summer, but it has been raining for several days, plus it is a jungle with many trees, and the temperature has dropped quickly. The temperature at this time is no different from that at the beginning of winter in the Purple Moon Country.
"Doy, thank you for your willingness to take in our family. As soon as Camille entered the cabin, she said with gratitude.
"Today, you and I have a room in Begonia, and there is one room left, and it just so happens that three generations of their grandparents live together. I guess I haven't eaten yet, you can wait a minute, and it will be fine right away. As he spoke, Doe and Begonia turned around and went back to the kitchen.
When Kuangli heard Du Yi's words, he automatically and spontaneously arranged for them. Duyi's room will definitely not be given up, and only Begonia's room will be given to them. But they all sleep on the floor. Fortunately, this time they came and brought a lot of animal skins.
Seeing that they were carrying some simple daily necessities and clothes, he said, "These are all put away first, and they will be roasted first." It's all soaking wet, don't get the planks wet. ”
When Camille's husband Singh heard this, he scratched his head a little embarrassed by the faint light and looked at the wet marks on the floor, so he took the child and made a fire with Daddy.
The smell wafting from the kitchen was something they had never smelled before. Just smelling it makes my stomach rumble with hunger. Camille didn't understand why just one soup was so fragrant. It seems that no one in this tribe has ever cooked such a fragrant dish.
"Doy, your food is so good, I'm hungry!" Camille touched her stomach with a smile on her face. She was really hungry, and since the rain, the family had not had a good meal, and she spent every day worrying that the house would collapse.
"Eat more in a while, I made a lot. Doe said, translating the words to Begonia. In the past few days, she has been teaching modern Malay for begonias, from the daily way to eat them to the simple vocabulary such as barrels, tubs, and tables.
Now it is rare to have a dialogue, and she spares no effort to teach Begonia. However, Begonia is worthy of being the top secret guard over there in Ziyi City, no, it should be said that her four maidservants are all like this. One by one, the learning ability is very strong, and it will be done without teaching a few times.
"Begonia, I'm eating these things every day, I guess I'm going to throw up. I want to eat noodles, I want to eat rice, I want to eat steamed buns, and I want to eat cakes. "It's been a long time, and Doe misses those staples so much at the moment. Living here and eating will always be soup and vegetables, and I can't stand it.
"In a few days, when it's sunny, we'll look around. It's not small either, and you should be able to find something to replace the staple food. Begonia also misses it, although she does not farm, she also knows that food is produced from the ground. There may be food production in this place, but these people don't know it.
When she trained before, it was even harder than now, and she missed it, but it was no problem to eat. But Doi is different, she is pregnant, so she naturally thinks about more things. Listening to what she says every day, what vitamins, what nutrition and so on, I feel foggy. However, she understands that Doe is a doctor, and must have thought and knew more than she did.
"Well, that's all there is to it, if only there was some kind of wheat sorghum or something. It's really not good, it's better to give a bean, I'll make a bean cake or something, it's better than eating these every day. If there were any pumpkins, sweet potatoes, potatoes and the like, so much the better. ”
After Du Yi finished speaking, he sighed. It stands to reason that in such a place, it is impossible to grow three crops of rice a day without even a staple food. Every day it's not meat or seafood and self-grown vegetables, I can't stand it. It's obviously connected to the Malay Island, but life is so backward.
In the evening, Camille's family ate very deliciously, and the family was eager to lick the bowls clean. After the meal, Camille took the initiative to wash the dishes, then sat at the door with Du Yi and others, looked at the darkness outside the house, and listened to the sound of the rain: "I don't know when the rain will stop!"
"Camille, is it raining here, like it is now, for many days?" asked Doe, not knowing the climate. She wanted to go to the jungle, and she had to wait until the weather cleared after the rain.
"Yes, when it was short, when it was a day, when it was long, when it was long, it was many days, longer than it is now. I hope the rain will stop soon, and we will build a wooden house, a wooden house like Duyi's house!"
It feels good to sit in Doy's house and look out at the rain without worrying about the rain leaking in. Even if it is a newly built thatched hut, when it rains like this, there will be dripping water in some places. Although her house has not yet been built, it is also a blessing to be able to live in the first wooden house in the tribe.
On the fourth day of Camille's stay at Doi's house, the rain slowly became lighter, and on the fifth day, it cleared. Early in the morning, Du Yi stood under the eaves, looked up at the sky, and a smile appeared on his face: "Finally, the sky is clear, and after two days, the trees are dry and going around." ”
Camille stepped into the water, spread her hands, and made a gesture of embracing the sun, saying, "Great, it's finally clear." The people of the tribe are going to get busy again. Dooy, I may have to stay at your house for a few more days, and we can't move out until our wooden house is built!"
"Okay, Begonia may have to teach others to build a house these days, I want to go to the jungle for a walk, you can take me with you!" In Du Yi's heart, going to the jungle with Begonia will definitely be much safer. But neither of them was familiar with this place, and certainly not as familiar as Camille.
"No problem, just say when you're going. Now that every family is going to build a wooden house, it will definitely not be our turn so soon!" Camille closed his eyes and took a deep breath, even the air, he felt that it was extraordinarily good.
After everyone had breakfast, Kuang Li came: "Duyi, we would like to ask you to teach me how to choose wood!"
Du Yi translated the words to Begonia, and then asked Begonia to make a mark and let people cut it back. When he returned, he explained to the trees again. Among them, the one who knows the most is Delai, after all, he is a carpenter.
Doe only needed a little bit for him to understand. With Delai, plus those who have done Dui cabins before, more or less, I still know a little. This time Du Yi said very patiently, Haitang looked at Du Yi's actions and words, and only then did he silently repeat in his heart, how to say each sentence and what it meant.
After explaining these, everyone started one after another, and Begonia also had some simple exchanges. Although it was extremely jerky, everyone was able to understand a little bit even with guesses, which greatly increased Begonia's confidence.
On this day, Begonia made the bamboo pot early in the morning and threw it into the sea. Doe and Camille went out to see what was available in the jungle. Kuang Li was afraid that it would be dangerous for wild animals to come out in the jungle to feed, so he asked Singh to follow behind the two with a knife and an iron fork.
"Yang Fei, are you also going to the jungle?" The two had just left the tribe not far when they saw Yang Fei also carrying a basket in front of them, so they asked.
"Dooy, Camille!" Yang Fei turned around with a smile on her face and a little excitement.
"Yang Fei, we're going to take a look in the jungle, are you going?"
"Well, I'm going to pick some mushrooms. It's raining, the sun is shining, and the weather is hot, and there will definitely be a lot of mushrooms. We're going to build a wooden house in the next two days, and I want everyone to eat better. ”
Yang Fei is one of the tribal women that Du Yi has a good impression of, and her hobby is characterized by tossing and eating. Although her so-called delicious food is not worth mentioning in Du Yi's eyes. But in this tribe, she is definitely a woman who is a good cook.
Like now, she would be thinking about finding some edible mushrooms. You must know that the people here eat directly in water, and with the mushrooms, the taste will definitely be much more delicious.
"It just so happens that we're going to go for a walk in the jungle too, let's go together!" Camille smiled when she heard the mushrooms and remembered what Yang Fei had cooked. If this had been put in the past, she would definitely drool, but since she ate the meals cooked by Begonia and Du Yi in the past few days, what Yang Fei made was no longer worth mentioning.
The four of them walked a lot and picked some mushrooms. In addition to tree mushrooms, Doe also saw a lot of edible mushrooms, so he asked Camille to pick them. She has a child in her belly, whether she bends over or squats to pick it, it is not good for the child.
"Duyi, it's already quite a lot, shall we go back?" Several people didn't go far, but the basket they brought was already full, and Yang Fei wanted to go back.
"I still have to take a look, or Yang Fei, you can go back first!" Du Yi felt that he had not traveled far, and he had not been to many places, and he was a little unwilling to give up like this.
"Forget it, I'll wait for you to go back together!" Yang Fei liked Du Yi very much, she thought Du Yi was very beautiful, very good people, and a distinguished guest in their tribe. It's just to accompany Dooy, and she's still happy to do it.
Under the leadership of Yang Fei and Singh, Du Yi walked a lot, but he didn't see what he wanted, so he went back.
In the evening, Begonia came back, but saw her pulling Du Yi, and said mysteriously: "Yi Yi, guess what I saw today?"
Doe raised an eyebrow, not understanding what she was trying to say. Whether it's seeing people or seeing something.
"I saw a sweet potato, I'm afraid you will believe it, and I dug one, Nuo ......" When I was in Liujia Town before, Begonia had seen the leaves of sweet potatoes. Today, when I sent the bamboo jar to the beach in another place to throw it, I didn't expect to run into it.
At first, she was a little reluctant to believe it, until she dug one out, and finally determined it. This sweet potato, she remembered seeing it in Liujia Town, but she didn't expect it to be available here. She believed that with this food, Doe would not lose her appetite every time she ate.
"It's true, Begonia, you really are my god of luck. Let's go and dig them all up. Is that a lot? This can be used as a staple food, great!"
When Doe saw the sweet potato, his mind had already begun to turn. This sweet potato can be used as sweet potato powder, and after being made into sweet potato powder, it can not only be used for cooking and thickening, but also can be made into vermicelli.
With vermicelli, the equivalent of pasta is there. After thinking about it, she couldn't get excited. The staple food she had been thinking about for a long time finally came to fruition. But you have to dig it up quickly, in case you run into some animals that specialize in vegetarian food, it will be a bad thing.
"Many, I've seen a lot of places. If it weren't for the fact that the people here didn't know that these were edible, I would have suspected that they were heavy. That head is very big, and it is estimated that it can be eaten for a long time. ”
When Du Yi heard this, his eyes brightened even more: "Begonia, you go and call Kuangli to come over!" She will do what she digs up, but now that she lives on this island, the more she benefits this island, and the more reasonable her request will be.
"Duyi, what are you looking for me?" Kuang Li has been dealing with Begonia for a while, so he can understand what Begonia says. When he heard Begonia say that Du Yi was looking for him, there was still a faint excitement in his eyes, and he was a little stunned.
"In Kuangli, we have discovered a new kind of eating, and there are many ways to do it. Well, you see, this is it. The begonias have found a lot, and we are going to dig them up now, so you can find some people to go over and help. By the way, ask everyone, see where there are still them, and dig them all up. This one can be grown by oneself and can be used as a vegetable or as food. ”
Du Yi said, and asked Begonia to take out the sweet potato and hand it to Kuangli. After coming to this place for so long, and finally seeing something that can be used as a staple food, Du Yi's heart can't calm down for a long time.
With staple food, eating will be much easier in the future. No matter what, don't be too wronged yourself. If there was rice, it would be nice. No matter how bad it is, wheat is also made, and with flour, there are more ways to eat.
Kuang Li's eyes lit up as soon as he heard the new food. Doe is indeed their honored guest, and it seems that they must stay a little longer, a little longer, so that their tribe will get better and better. When Kuang Li thought so, his eyes inadvertently glanced at Du Yi's abdomen, and he was a little gloomy.
She already has a baby, and it's not good to stay on the island. Her family must not have known about the disaster, and they were very sad. No, he can't be that selfish. However, if Dui wishes, they can meet in Malay in the future. If they could, it would be better if they let people from their country come to Okuyama Island at that time.
Thinking about it like this, Kuang Li secretly decided that after the wooden house was built, he would send Du Yi and them back. But where is her home except for Malay Island?
Half an hour later, everyone else arrived, except for those who were busy building the wooden house. Begonia helped Du Yi, and with a group of people behind her, she came to the sweet potato field she found.
Du Yi saw a large piece of sweet potato, and then looked at the lush sweet potato leaves, and the smile on his face became stronger and stronger: "Everyone works with men and women, and the woman tears off all the sweet potato vines. As for the fruit in the field, when the man lifted it up, he put it all in a basket and carried it back. I'll show you how to eat it later. ”
When everyone heard this, they all nodded their heads when they looked at the large area. At this time, Yang Fei, who came with him, said: "Duyi, I have seen this thing in other places. Can you really eat it? When you're done digging that, you can dig somewhere else. ”
"Of course you can eat it, of course the more sweet potatoes the better. Let's think about it, where is it, we will dig it back when we go back. "Doe doesn't know the climate of this Okuyama Island, and he doesn't understand why this sweet potato is so big. She didn't understand whether it would be appropriate for everyone to plant sweet potatoes now.
Either way, she wanted to give it a try. If it succeeds, it will be good for the people of Okuyama Island to have one more kind of food. After all, you don't need to waste sweet potatoes when you plant sweet potatoes, just prune and plant.
Du Yi watched everyone busy there, and she felt happier than the grain produced in the terraced fields of Liujia Town at the beginning. This sweet potato was not planted by her, but it gave her an inexplicable feeling that she couldn't say it. It seems that I have invisibly led the feeling of helping the backward people to take a step forward.
As soon as Yang Fei heard that it was a new food, her eyes lit up. There were so many things in the jungle that she didn't know they were edible. Today, if Doe hadn't said that there was fruit under the vine, she wouldn't have known.
Hearing Du Yi's words, Kuang Li said: "From now on, men and women work together. The woman plucked the vine first, nodding her head to make a mark, and the man followed behind to dig the sweet potato. Of course, you don't need all of them. Some of them brought it back and left it at Doo's doorstep. ”
With Kuang Li's words, many people began to act separately. When the sweet potatoes were revealed, everyone's eyes lit up. This thing is big and heavy, and three of them are enough for a family.
Du Yi watched the sweet potato unearthed, and secretly inhaled her saliva, she felt as if she smelled the aroma of roasted sweet potato.
Seeing this, Begonia took two pieces of large potatoes and walked back with Duyi. It's none of their business now, and it's useless to stay here. This tribe is very strange, they don't need silver, they don't need anything in the house, they just need to exchange food with others. But during this time, it was really thanks to Kuangli, otherwise they wouldn't even have anything to eat if it rained so hard.
Although it is a bit backward here, the people are kind. At least in her opinion, very kind. One family is in trouble, and three families are in trouble.
After returning home, Haitang looked at the sweet potato in his hand, thought about it, and washed it directly, cut it small, and boiled it with some salt. Anyway, no matter how you eat it, it's better than drinking those soups every day.
Du Yi wanted to roast sweet potatoes, but the sweet potatoes were big and troublesome to bake. As soon as he turned his head, he saw the sweet potato cut by the begonia put it in the pot, so he simply shut up and didn't speak. I don't know what this sweet potato tastes like. The really delicious sweet potatoes have to be frosted. It's just that here, it's not cold at all year round, let alone frost.
"Yiyi, it'll be fine soon, do you want to rest for a while?" Haitang said when he saw a hint of sleepiness on Du Yi's face.
Not long after she got out of the pot, she seemed to have smelled the fragrance of sweet potatoes. I couldn't help but swallow my saliva and increase the fire in the stove. I haven't eaten any staple food for a long time, and the soup and meat are getting tired of dying every day, so it would be nice if I could change it.
"No, I'll just sit here for a while. At this time, Doe pondered that he was going to draw a wire scraper. When the time comes, wash the sweet potatoes and cut them into shreds. Soak the shreds in water and soak out the sweet potato powder. As for the leftover sweet potato rice (shredded with sweet potato powder removed), it can be dried and preserved. When you want to eat it, you can just steam it and eat it. If you have rice, it's better to steam it together.
I think that in the sixties and seventies, when there was a famine, many families did this. The island is rich in produce, and although there is no famine, when it rains, especially when it rains for many days in a row, there is no need to go out.
She didn't have a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, dipped her hand in her hand, scratched it around the table, and finally came to the conclusion that that thing needed the cooperation of a blacksmith and a carpenter. But this is to contribute to the tribe, and I think the two of them are also very happy.
When the boiled sweet potatoes were brought out, the people of the tribe also came back with the sweet potatoes. Seeing this, Du Yi said, "Begonia, let's wash more sweet potatoes and cook some for them to taste later." ”
Although she doesn't know how many sweet potatoes there are, there are thousands of people on this island, and she can't be satisfied with them all. But it's okay to give these people a taste.
"Okay, it just so happens that the water in the pot is still there, and it will cook faster!" Haitang said this, and began to wash the sweet potatoes neatly. She washed one, and Dui cut one and threw it into the pot.
By the time she finished washing, Doe was almost ready. And the water in the pot is also showing signs of boiling again.
The Inkamils also ate with them, so her pot was replaced with a larger one. Looking at the half-pot of sweet potatoes boiled in front of him, Du Yi was really afraid that it would be boiled. After thinking about it, the stove was still burning, so I picked up a few small ones, let the begonias put them in the stove, and wait for the evening to eat roasted sweet potatoes.
There are many people and great strength, and in just an hour and a half, all the sweet potatoes have been dug up. Looking at the sweet potato vines in front of him and the sweet potatoes piled up into a hill, Du Yi's face raised a smile that belonged to the joy of the harvest.
"Camille, Singh, are you all back?" Begonia boiled some sweet potatoes, you can taste them later. After Du Yi greeted Camille, Begonia confessed and went to the blacksmith.
When Camille heard Doe's words, he spontaneously went to the kitchen. When he saw something steaming hot, with a sweet smell and slightly yellowing, he took a piece and put it in his mouth.
After a while, I saw her open her mouth wide and exclaim hot, but she was reluctant to spit it out. After a while, I swallowed it and exclaimed, "It's delicious!"
Then she ate some, and when she was half full, she neatly picked up the rest of the pot and brought it out to the busy people. This thing tastes really good.
People who have tasted sweet potatoes want to take some away and make them at home, but they think of Kuang Li and say that they will be handed over to Du Yi to deal with, so they dispel this idea. There should also be one in this jungle, and they will look for it more when they go back, and when they find more, they will take it home. However, Doe said that it could be planted, but he didn't know how to plant it, and it seemed that he would have to ask her when he went back.
Kuang Li was at Du Yi's house, looking at the bowl of sweet potatoes left alone, his eyes were complicated. This thing is really edible. In this way, they no longer have to worry about rainy days and nothing to eat.
Wild things can be raised. vegetables can be planted. Now there is one more sweet potato, and the people in the tribe have an extra layer of security. I don't know if the people of Malay like this thing. He hadn't seen it in Malay, and when they planted more and exchanged it for other things, he didn't know how much he could exchange.
In the evening, Dui came home and called Camille and Begonia and said, "I am going to make sweet potato powder now, and you can help me cut these sweet potatoes into thin strips." "Doe can't wait that many days, she has to satisfy her appetite before she can make it on a large scale.
"Good!"
There are two knives in the house, one from Camille's and one from Doy's. There were three people, and there was still a handful left, so Du Yi went to Yuli's house to borrow it.
When Doe returned, Begonia and Camille had already washed the sweet potatoes clean, and even the skin she said she wanted to remove had been peeled. You Li was startled when she saw Du Yi using a knife, so she stepped forward and said, "Du Yi, I'll come, you go and rest." You say what to do, I'll do it. ”
The words fell, and before Du Yi could answer, he saw Begonia cut the sweet potato into thin strips, but Du Yi didn't say anything, so he observed it and began to get busy. When he was busy in the evening, Du Yi took out a sweet potato that had been prepared and roasted in advance from the stove, and the four of them shared it.
"It's so fragrant, it's better than cooking!" You Li couldn't wait to swallow the skin.
"You Li, you and Kuang Li say that tomorrow let everyone come over and take some sweet potato vines back to plant. It just so happened to be raining, and it was the most suitable time for planting. "It's a warm climate, so if you want to grow it, you can do it at any time.
Of course, Doe doesn't know much about this piece either, she just keeps the mentality of trying it first. There must be a lot of things in this jungle that she hasn't discovered yet. If it weren't for the big belly, she really wanted to see what else was there.
"Okay, I'll let Kuangli inform you later. After You Li finished speaking, he thought about it, then took two sweet potatoes and said, "Duyi, I'll take two back first, it doesn't matter, right?"
"It's okay, it's cooked tomorrow morning and it can be used for breakfast. Ask everyone where there are still sweet potatoes, and they will all be back in the past few days. When the time comes, we will make a new kind of food for everyone, which is different from the current practice. ”
When You Li heard this, the smile on her face became stronger and stronger, and she quickly nodded and walked home.
"Mother, didn't you say that the sweet potatoes were all placed in Duyina, why did you get them back?" Kuang Li saw You Li holding two large potatoes in his hand, and there was a hint of helplessness in his tone.
"It's okay, that's all. By the way, Doe said that you should let me know, let everyone go to her tomorrow to ask for rattan planting, and she will teach everyone how to plant. ”
"Okay, then I'll go now. Mother, since you've already taken it, forget it. Don't take it, it seems like a lot of them now, but there are not many people in our tribe, and there are not many people in our tribe. ”
You Li nodded, how could she not understand, but she was really a little greedy. This stuff is so fragrant when it's baked, it's so appealing.
The next day, in the morning, Doe woke up and went to the kitchen first thing to see how the starch was precipitating. When I saw a layer of white sediment under the water, the smile on my face became stronger and stronger.
With starch, she can satisfy her appetite first today. It's not going to work yet, it's going to have to wait until the evening.
"Yiyi, is this what it is?" Haitang saw Du Yi clean up the sweet potato rice, looking at the white sediment, a little inexplicable, how to eat this thing?
"Not yet, you'll know when it's done. Doe poured out the water and fished out the sweet potato rice. The precipitated starch is directly taken out to dry.
Sweet potatoes are available, but the number is not very large. Duyi's morning meal was still the same as usual, wild vegetable broth. However, there is sweet potato powder, and when making breakfast, Du Yi thought about it and thickened the soup to make it look more appetizing.
Needless to say, the Singh family is very enthusiastic about breakfast in the morning, and they eat with round stomachs one by one.
After breakfast, people from the tribe came one after another. Of course, most of the people who came were women, and the men either went to help make the hut or to prepare the timber they needed to make the hut.
Du Yi asked Begonia to cut some sweet potato vines and said: "Regardless of whether everyone has eaten sweet potatoes or not, what I want to tell you is that that thing can be used as a staple food and as food." The weather here should be quite suitable for the growth of sweet potatoes, now you bring some vines back to plant, and you don't have to worry about eating and drinking next year. ”
After Du Yi finished speaking, he asked Haitang and You Li and others to distribute the vines to the people present, and finally said: "It doesn't need to be too long when cutting, just like the one I have in my hand." Growing this is as simple as you would grow vegetables. ”
Although she didn't know how they actually grew vegetables. But she thought, it should be * not far from ten. This kind of sweet potato doesn't have too many requirements.
Amy looked at the length of the vine in Doe's hand, and then she was relieved. If it's just that long, these vines can be planted with some land.
"Duyi, I'm going to dig up the sweet potatoes with me today, are you going to put them here together?" Yang Fei looked at the sweet potato vine in front of her, but what she thought in her mind was that there were sweet potatoes in those places in the jungle.
"Yes, come over for dinner in the evening, and I'll let you try the staple food made of sweet potatoes. Amy, come with you and call Thea. You Li, you also come over at night, let Kuangli come too. ”
"Good!"
After everyone finished speaking, they went to work. When Du Yi and Begonia were left, the two couldn't help but sigh.
"I don't know when all their wooden houses will be built, I don't know where Baimei is!"
The people here are good, but she can't stand the diet. They are on this island, and they don't know what's going on outside. Who is it who wants their lives? She had been dissatisfied with Gu Xiyuan before, but after thinking about it carefully, this was definitely not his handiwork. With his ability, he doesn't need to wait that long at all to do it.
What is the distance from that Malay Island, and how far is it?Which direction is the Malay Island?How often do they go?She desperately wanted to know what was going on outside, and wanted to leave here, return to the Purple Moon Country, and return to the side of the Purple Yi City.
When Haitang heard this, he was also worried. Everything seems good here, but nothing is good. In fact, she was worried that in the end, would the people of Aoshan Island not let them go back?
After the two were in a daze for a long time, Du Yi looked up at Haitang and said, "Let's go out for a walk, and we will treat them to delicious food at night, and now we have to prepare." ”
Du Yi wants to fry it with sweet potato flour and eat it. There is seafood, shrimp and oysters, and it is best to add a la carte. But then I think about it, after they came here, they became so-called local customs, and they all kinds of broth, cabbage broth and the like every day. Now she wants to make something delicious, and she must help with Begonia.
Haitang was carrying a basket in his hand, and in the basket were two sweet potatoes that had been secretly roasted when he was cooking in the morning, and the two went out and walked directly towards the jungle.
"Begonia, let's see if there are any wild boars or anything like that, I want to get some oil to stir-fry. ”
"Good!"
The two of them walked casually, making marks along the way. I don't know how long I walked, but there was silence all around, except for their footsteps and various insect chirps, and occasionally the fluttering of pheasants.
"It looks like today is doomed to disappointment. Doy was a little discouraged, and had been walking for about an hour, but she couldn't walk, and her feet were like lead, and she couldn't lift them.
"Let's go back first, let's go to the tribe and see, maybe one family has caught a wild boar, or someone wants to kill the pig. "In this tribe, there are people who raise poultry. If someone kills a pig, then let Kuangli go and get fat to overwork and squeeze oil.
Doe shook his head: "I have to go to the beach and dig some oysters back." In the past two days, some people have gone fishing, and they will see if there are any shrimp later, and they will also order them. ”
If you have tree mushrooms at home, when the time comes, you will put some shrimp, oysters and cabbage in the fried vermicelli, and add some tree mushrooms, and the taste will definitely be better. Du Yi thought so, but he was afraid that there would be no oil at that time, and he panicked in his heart.
Whatever you eat, you feel constrained, it's really annoying. The oil from the oil lamp at home, I don't know what it is, has a faint smell, if it is soybean oil, she really uses it to stir-fry.
Doe rested in place for a moment, then walked back. When she arrived at the beach, she was carrying two pheasants in her hands, which made her cry and laugh, is this a windfall?
At the seaside, of course, it is the begonias who contribute. She is now extremely skilled at digging oysters. When the oysters are dug up, the whole shell is intact. This is much better than when she was in Marina Town.
After an extra hour, the two came back with a basket of oysters. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the tribe, he saw Camille coming back from another road.
Singh followed her, carrying a boar on his shoulder, much to Dooy's dumbfounding. Is this a surprise? She and Begonia went out of their way to fight, but they didn't. But isn't Camille busy, why did he go out hunting with Singh?
"Duyi, come and see, it's good luck today, when I went out to look for the sweet potato, I saw a pig in the pit dug before, and it hasn't died yet, look!" Camille smiled and narrowed his eyes when he saw the wild boar that was still humming.
"Dooy, this pig is enough for us to eat for many days. Do you use pork when you cook at night? If you do, I'll kill Singh when I go back. It just so happens that everyone has been tired and tired all this time, and there is not much meat at home. ”
The wild boar was not big, according to Doy's estimate, it was less than a hundred catties. But it looks quite fat, and I don't know how many catties I can squeeze out if I squeeze oil.
"Okay, I need to squeeze some oil from fatty meat at night, and I invite everyone to eat today, and I may want more meat. ”
"It just works, go, go back!" said Camille, who lived in Duina, still guilty. When he heard Doe say that he wanted to use meat, his eyes lit up. In this way, she can be more balanced in her heart, and she will not feel too much guilt.
"Okay!" the four of them had to walk to the hut one after the other.
Nowadays in the tribe, you can see everywhere, driving stakes and cutting planks. There are many houses, which are half built, and some have only roofs left. Of course, there are still many people who have not yet started to build.
The whole tribe is not lively during the day. Old people can be seen everywhere, and children have joyful smiles on their faces. The men, women and children of the tribe all had a hint of respect on their faces when they saw Du Yi and Begonia. These two women are the great benefactors of their tribe.
Back at home, Singh is killing wild boars, Begonia is digging oysters, and Camille is out to find someone to ask for shrimp. As for Doo, she's messing with her vermicelli. That's all for tonight's dinner.
When the wild boar is killed, the oysters of the begonia are also dug up. Camille's basket of shrimp and a few wild eggs in her hand also came back with joy.
Haitang looked at the sweet potato powder made by Du Yi, although she was curious, she wanted to know more about the taste of this thing.
It was still early, so Doe fried the fat and oiled it, and then prepared the cabbage, shrimp and pork that had been prepared before. The powder buckle has been steamed out, waiting to cool down at this time. Du Yi first made a plate of braised pork, although there was no soy sauce and the color was a little unsatisfactory, but the taste was fragrant.
Chapter 479 The Problem of Going and Staying
This made Singh and Camille, who were still cleaning up wild boar, extremely uncalm. Is it the meat they eat every day? Why does it smell different at all?
After the braised pork was cooked, Du Yi made a soup with wild eggs and cabbage. I looked at the sun, and it was almost time for me to start frying the noodles. The fragrance wafting from Duyi's house made people reluctant to leave. Everyone was curious, what did this distinguished guest do, how could it be so fragrant?
"It's so fragrant, I've never smelled such a fragrant smell, what the hell is this doing?" Yang Fei pulled Thea to Du Yi's house, and before he entered the door, he smelled the fragrance, couldn't help but close his eyes and sniffed, and then sighed.
"I don't know, let's go in and see! Our tribe has never seen this kind of fragrance. Yang Fei, do you think it could be the sweet potato? Didn't Du Yi say that he wanted to make something and invite us to eat it?"
Yang Fei shook her head, she thought it was unlikely. There were several scents wafting from the air, and she calculated that there should be three. I don't know what delicious food was made. Immediately behind them were Kuang Li and Yu Li.
When a large pot of fried noodles came out of the pot, Camille had already saved his saliva and stood in the kitchen waiting.
"Camille, get these things out. The dishes here are two for each of them, just two tables. Doy pointed to the dish that had been set aside and said to Camille, who was drooling.
The people of the Okuyama tribe do not know how to use chopsticks, and they usually eat with a spoon or directly by hand.
In order to make them eat better, when Doe went out in the morning, he went to Delai's side and asked for chopsticks and forks. Of course, the chopsticks are used by her and Begonia. As for the forks, of course, they were for Camille.
In the past, I ate either soup or meat. The people of Okuyama Island have long been accustomed to eating meat with their hands or eating with a spoon. I want them to use chopsticks, but I'm afraid they won't be able to eat it.
Two tables at night, about five people at a table. Everyone looked at the fork and spoon in front of them, and was a little stunned. This thing looks good and smells good. How do you eat it? The spoon can't be scooped up at all.
"Everyone looks at me like this!" Haitang took the fork and demonstrated it, but when she was willing to put her mouth into her mouth, she was so moved that she wanted to cry. Finally, I ate noodles on this island, no, the princess said, it's called a noodle button.
Everyone drew scoops according to the gourd, learned from the begonias, and rolled up the powder buttons to eat. The first and second times may not be very skilled, but by the third time, everyone has been able to use the fork well. Looking at the spoon on the table, I thought it was for them to drink soup. And the meat, they never knew, the meat could do that.
When the powder is buckled into their mouths, the taste buds on the tip of their tongues have been completely touched. It's delicious, it's so delicious, it's even better than that boiled sweet potato. Is this what the sweet potato is made of? It's so fragrant, so fragrant that I want to swallow the root of my tongue.
As for the braised pork, it didn't take long for it to be divided by several people. No, it should be that even the wild egg soup is drunk by people. After the meal, Camille helped to clean up the things on the table, and Kuang Li and the others touched their stomachs and sighed.
"No matter how delicious it is, I can only eat it today after dragging Du Yi's blessing. I don't know how long I'll have to wait before I can taste it again. "Yang Fei has always been proud of her cooking skills. Today, after eating what Doe made, I realized what real deliciousness is.
It turns out that cooking can not only be made with soup, but also roasted with fire, and it is more delicious to stir-fry directly like her. It's just that what to do, it seems that you have to learn from Du Yi and Begonia.
"Come on, didn't you go out to find sweet potatoes and plant them separately? Tomorrow some people will come together to shave the sweet potatoes into shreds, and then turn around and make sweet potato powder. After making this kind of powder button like eating at night, it can be stored for a long time after drying. If you want to eat it when the time comes, you can eat it at any time. In addition to the powder button, it can also make vermicelli, wide, round, coarse, and thin. When the time comes, whether it is fried or boiled, it will be extremely delicious. ”
"Do you dare to do it tomorrow? I'll come over. When Yang Fei heard that she could eat it at any time, her eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile. I can't wait to eat it every day from tomorrow.
At the moment, You Li also said that she would bring someone over to help tomorrow. After Kuang Li ate and drank enough, he felt extremely down-to-earth in his heart. These two women were finally invited back in vain. Looking at the tribe today, isn't it better than before? The problem of food and shelter has been solved, and there is nothing more joyful than this.
Since Du Yi has a child and can't stay, what about Begonia? That girl is also good-looking and capable, I don't know if she will agree to invite her to stay when the time comes?
Kuang Li didn't know how abrupt his eyes were staring at Begonia in this situation. Everyone was chatting, and Begonia felt uncomfortable and felt very awkward. She is a person who practices martial arts, how can she not feel the gaze of others.
When Kuangli first looked at her, she didn't pay much attention to it. But after a long time, she felt awkward for a long time. Of course, Begonia's discomfort was discovered by Du Yi at the first time. After glancing at the people around him, he let it go.
Does Kuang Li like begonias? But it doesn't look like it. His eyes were full of distress, but there was no trace of admiration in this distress. What is Kuang Li thinking about staring at Begonia?
He seemed to be younger than her, eighteen. And she and Haitang are both in their twenties, what is Kuang Li's idea, don't you want to send them back?
Kuang Li didn't know that he was just in a daze for a moment, which had already made Du Yi very unhappy, and even made Du Yi feel that they didn't want to send her and Haitang back at all, or go to that Malay Island.
When everyone was busy, Kuangli was left behind by Duyi.
"Kuangli, you see that we have been living here for a long time, and we have done our best to help as much as we can. I wonder when you will go to Malay and whether you will be able to pick us up then?"
Kuang Li didn't expect that Du Yi would leave him behind, but he asked about it. He felt that the tribe had only a little hope, and Due's sudden proposal to leave caught him off guard.
"When the huts in the tribe are finished and everyone has time, I'll take you there. After a while, I was about to go to Malay Island to change some things and come back. "He didn't think about how to keep one, and now he can delay time, so he will delay as much as possible. It seems that I will have to wait for the order to go down, and let people delay the time of the wooden house as much as possible, which can be delayed for a month or a month.
When Du Yi heard this, she nodded clearly, she didn't have any hopes, she said it now, and she could send her back tomorrow. The wooden houses in this tribe will always be finished one day. In her opinion, it will be two months at most.
By then, her belly would be six or seven months old, and it should be fine. I don't know, Ah Cheng and them, can they see their bamboo cans, hey!
"Then I'm sorry for you!" said this, and Du Yi and Begonia came out of the cabin. She was going to see how the cabins in the tribe were going. The sooner she finished, the sooner she left.
When Kuangli returned home, he saw Yuli and said, "Mother, Du Yi asked me when I would go to Malay Island and pick them up when the time came." It seems that they want to leave. ”
When You Li heard this, her eyes widened, and she said in a low voice, "Is it that she is unhappy living in the tribe, or who provoked her?"
"No, I see that she has a big belly, I guess she wants to go back and give birth to a baby!"
When You Li heard this, her eyes darkened. Yes, Du Yi has a baby, and it is reasonable to want to go back and have a baby.
"Kuangli, when the tribe is done, you can take them with you. Although the island of Malay was not their country, it was unclear where she would be able to go back. You Li said so, but she thought in her heart. If they can't go back there, they can still be brought back to Okuyama Island.
"Yes!" Kuang Li didn't really want to send them back so soon. But he also knows that he can't be too selfish. From Du Yi's body, he could see that her country must be very good.
If you can come out by boat, you must also be a leader. Get it done, send her back. Maybe she will be grateful and come back to them on Okuyama Island when the time comes. In this way, once they come, it is impossible to say that Aoshan Island will be more prosperous than Malay Island in the future.
After thinking about it like this, Kuang Li's heart really got much better. After a dreamless night, the next morning, the people of the tribe began to devote themselves to busyness again.
Yuli took the women of the tribe to Doy's house, and since there was no grater knife, everyone came with kitchen knives and cutting boards.
Looking at the people in front of the house, Du Yi raised a smile on his face and said, "Thank you for your hard work." Now please help wash these sweet potatoes, and remember to wash them very cleanly. After that, hang off the outer layer of the sweet potato and cut it into fine shreds, the finer the better. Of course, if you are not good at knife work, you can cut it slowly, but you must be fine. ”
After Du Yi finished speaking, let Begonia demonstrate it. Everyone saw that Begonia quickly finished washing a sweet potato, and peeled the skin in the blink of an eye. After listening to the sound of "tuk tuk" for a while, a large potato in front of me instantly turned into a pile of tiny silk.
And these silks, as soon as she raised her hand, were all in a large wooden barrel. And in that wooden barrel, there was half a bucket of water, which seemed to be used to soak this starch.
"Do you see it? Everybody has to do it. Regardless of your knife skills, be sure to cut them finely, and of course, it's okay to slow down. Also, this is something to eat, and you must be clean. Please go home now, grab a piece of cloth, and pick up your hair. Also, hands, be sure to be clean, don't leave your nails, and don't let me see dirt in my nails. Of course, if you don't want to, you can go and help make the wooden house. When these things are ready, I will give them to Kuang Li, and he will distribute them to you. ”
