Chapter Forty-Six: You Didn't Discuss the Pit
Zhao Dalin's family and Shen Lao, who were chatting in the hall to avoid the rain, saw the three of them running into the house in embarrassment, and they all opened their mouths slightly in astonishment, looking at them in a daze.
Lin Yunxuan blinked embarrassedly, looked at everyone embarrassedly, and then laughed dryly: "Everyone is here." It's raining heavily. ”
Shen Lao was the first to come back to his senses, cleared his throat, and said with a smile: "Yes, it hasn't rained so heavily for a long time. ”
He Cuifang also reacted at this time, touched Zhao Dalin with his elbow, Zhao Dalin closed his open mouth, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said, "It's raining so heavily, you're not wet, right?" ”
Lin Yunxuan shook her head, pointed at Luo Yao and said; "I met Mr. Luo on the way back, and his family had already taken care of things, so he rushed back to help us continue to build the house. On the way here, Mr. Luo saw that a hunter had hunted a wild boar, so he bought the wild boar and asked the hunter to help deliver it. Well, this is the hunter who hunted wild boars. ”
Lin Yunxuan's outstretched finger turned in a direction and pointed to Mu Qing who was standing aside.
The corners of Mu Qing's mouth twitched when he heard this: Very good, I have another identity as a hunter. This doctor Xuan lied without blinking his eyes, and his rhetoric was set, and the logic was very good.
"The wild boar has been placed in the yard, and when the rain stops, we can clean up the wild boar." Lin Yunxuan pointed to the courtyard and said.
The people in the house looked at the yard again in the direction of her finger, but unfortunately the rain was too heavy, and they could only see a white expanse, and they couldn't see where the wild boar was.
"Mr. Luo, this Orion brother, please take a seat." He Cuifang warmly beckoned Luo Yao and Mu Qing to sit down, and then went to prepare tea.
Luo Yao bowed slightly towards everyone, and sat down opposite Shen Lao with elegant movements.
Mu Qing glanced at his master slightly, hesitating whether to sit or not.
He is a slave, how can this slave be the same as the master, the master sits, they have to stand, the master is lying, they still have to stand.
Lin Yunxuan saw that Mu Qing seemed to be struggling with something, so she turned her back to the people in the house, secretly gave him a hint where everyone couldn't see it, and then said loudly: "Sit, Brother Mu, come, you sit here, you don't have to be polite to us, you just treat it as if you were in your own home." ”
Mu Qing thought about it for a while, and finally sat down in the empty seat on Luo Yao's left hand side.
Shen Lao picked up the teacup on the table, and secretly looked at Luo Yao on the opposite side and Mu Qing on the right hand, feeling as if he had seen these two people somewhere, and he had a sense of déjà vu.
Luo Yao ignored the gaze of Shen Lao on the other side, calmly picked up the teacup on the table, lowered his head slightly, and gently blew the chrysanthemum petals floating on the water in the teacup.
Mu Qing, on the other hand, sat with his head down, his eyes and nose and his nose attentive.
"Xuan'er, didn't you go up the mountain to collect medicine? What about medicine? He Cuifang saw that Lin Yunxuan was empty-handed, so she asked.
"In the back basket. I picked some herbs that invigorate the blood and disperse stasis and came back, and when I went to boil the medicine, after the rain stopped, I could send it to Huzi and Jade Girl. Lin Yunxuan pointed to the back basket on the ground and said.
"Okay, do you need our help?" He Cuifang was not at ease.
"No, you can do your business. By the way, Brother Mu, there are no butchers in our village, can we trouble you to help slaughter this wild boar when the rain stops? You're going to stay and eat tonight. Let's eat wild boar tonight, this wild boar is fragrant. After Lin Yunxuan finished answering He Cuifang, she turned her head to Mu Qing and said with a smile, a flash of light flashed in her eyes.
There is such a good free labor force, it is still ready-made, there is no need to use it in vain, she will not let go of this labor force.
Mu Qing twitched the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Don't bother, I'll help you deal with this wild boar later." ”
Lin Yunxuan smiled sweetly at Mu Qing: "Then thank you Brother Mu." ”
Mu Qing saw Lin Yunxuan smiling like a little fox, and couldn't help but complain in his heart: Can I say trouble, dare I say trouble, didn't you see the eye knife next to me? I can't imagine that I, the leader of the secret guard, has been reduced to being a butcher, my God!
"Isn't it okay to trouble Brother Orion like this? We can clean it up ourselves. Zhao Dalin scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Yes, wild boar, it's already paid." Luo Yao suddenly opened his mouth and said lightly.
Mu Qing suddenly felt that there were 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping past in his heart, and he no longer wanted to accompany his master to Dr. Xuan's house.
Surname Mu? Shen Laohu's suspicious gaze swirled back and forth on Mu Qing and Luo Yao's faces, and suddenly a gleam flashed in his eyes, and a subtle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, picked up the teacup, and took a sip of chrysanthemum tea.
Half an hour later, the rain finally stopped.
There was not much rain this spring and early summer, and the villagers thought that the summer would be dry, but today the rain came just in time. A few days ago, the villagers were busy with the summer harvest, and this rain was just enough to moisten the farmland, and it was just right to plant rice in a few days.
Taking advantage of the sunny weather, Zhao Dalin and Aunt Zhang also took the time to pick up their hoes and turn over the ground like other villagers.
He Cuifang took Zhao An and Zhao Yun'er to be busy slaughtering and cleaning the fish that were recovered this morning and noon.
Lin Yunxuan went to the kitchen to boil medicine.
In an instant, only Shen Lao, Luo Yao and Mu Qing were left in the hall.
After a stick of incense, Lin Yunxuan boiled some of the herbs that were picked back to invigorate blood and dissipate stasis into a decoction, and some were ground into medicinal mud, and sent them to Huzi and Yuyatou, but when they came back, they were followed by the three of them.
It turned out that the jade girl insisted on coming to work. Yesterday, because she and Huzi were injured, everyone let them rest and didn't let them work. Today she saw that she was much better, and now that the rain had stopped again, she insisted on coming over and finishing the work, otherwise she would not be able to get over it. When Huzi saw that the jade girl was going to work, he was not to be outdone, and insisted on coming along.
Lin Yunxuan couldn't resist them, thinking that it wouldn't be very heavy just to clean the pigs, so she agreed, and they wanted to eat wild boar at night, and their sisters and brothers could eat together when they came, so as to replenish their bodies.
When Lin Yunxuan took the jade girl and they returned home, Zhao An and Zhao Yun'er were squatting in the yard to watch Mu Qing wield a dagger to cut pork.
The first time Huzi and Ting saw a wild boar, and it was also the first time they saw someone else killing a pig, so they couldn't help but run over to watch.
After a while, Mu Qing harvested two more fans.
Lin Yunxuan saw that Mu Qing had cleared out a lot of wild boar, and there were about 20 catties of wild boar, and there was still half a wild boar to be cleaned up on the ground, so she asked Zhao An to send about three catties of wild boar meat to Aunt Zhang's family and Li Zheng's family, and then went to make dinner.
She picked out some wild boar meat and bones cleaned up by Muqing, and made a dish of braised pork, a dish of tamales, a sweet and sour pork ribs, a winter melon pork rib soup, and fried a shredded potato and a green vegetable.
Although there are not many varieties of vegetables, the portions are very large, enough for so many of them to eat.
Because of the large number of people, they could only eat at two separate tables. The children ate at the small table in the kitchen, and the others ate in the hall, and everyone's dishes were the same.
In the hall, Shen Lao and Luo Yao sat on the upper position, Mu Qing left Luo Yao's left hand position to Lin Yunxuan very clearly, and he sat opposite Shen Lao, and Zhao Dalin and He Cuifang sat on Shen Lao's right hand.
Shen Lao looked at the table full of dishes, his appetite was stirring, and he praised with a smile: "Girl, the dishes you made are full of color and fragrance, and after the house is built, the old man is reluctant to leave." ”
"Anyway, there are many rooms in the new house, if Shen Lao doesn't dislike it, he can live in our house, right, uncle?" Lin Yunxuan covered her mouth and smiled, and after speaking, she forgot to consult Zhao Dalin and them first.
"Yes, yes, as long as Shen Lao doesn't dislike it, we welcome you to live at any time." Zhao Dalin received Lin Yunxuan's information and hurriedly said.
"Haha, that's it." Shen Laoxi smiled, and after speaking, he sandwiched a piece of braised pork and put it in the bowl, then turned his head slightly and raised his eyebrows at Luo Yao.
Luo Yao picked up the chopsticks with his slender fingers and picked up a piece of pork ribs, but unexpectedly, the chopsticks turned around, and the chops were in Lin Yunxuan's bowl.
This action frightened Mu Qing and Shen Lao, who were eating.
At that time, Mu Qing was chewing a piece of braised pork in his mouth, the melt-in-your-mouth taste, the juice was thick and mellow, so he was conquered by this braised pork in an instant, and he was about to feast, when he saw that the master actually sandwiched the vegetables to Lin Yunxuan, he suddenly felt that the meat in his mouth was not fragrant.
He has followed the master for so many years, and it is the first time he has seen the master serve vegetables to other people, even if it is a little master, he does not have this honor. No, he must share this melon with Yeyi when he goes back. Mu Qing silently made a decision in his heart.
Shen Lao had already recognized Luo Yao coming, the two were old acquaintances, and it was the first time he saw Luo Yao picking vegetables for others, and the other party was still a country girl, so he was a little shocked.
Zhao Dalin and He Cuifang also noticed Luo Yao's movements, and the two were not frightened, but they were a little puzzled when Luo Yao and Lin Yunxuan became so familiar.
Lin Yunxuan saw the pork ribs coming out of thin air in the bowl, and looked up to see Luo Yao sandwiching another piece of braised pork and preparing to put it in her bowl, and was about to open her mouth to refuse, but heard Luo Yao say: "You are too thin, eat more." ”
"Ahem!"
A few coughs, from different people.
After Lin Yunxuan saw Mu Qing and Shen Lao's strange eyes, her face turned red, and she was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole in the ground and get in.
"I'll pick up the vegetables myself, and you eat yours." Lin Yunxuan hurriedly blocked the bowl with her hand and prevented Luo Yao from putting the vegetables in again.
Seeing this, Luo Yao stopped giving her vegetables and slowly picked up the bowl to eat.
Lin Yunxuan breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly lowered her head and pulled the food in the bowl.
Compared with Lin Yunxuan's uncalmness, Luo Yao is much calmer. But no matter how calmly he ate, the chopsticks in his hand still picked up the dishes every once in a while, and sent them to her bowl when Lin Yunxuan was not paying attention.
After a meal, except for Lin Yunxuan, who ate tastelessly and was in a hurry, everyone else ate with relish and was quite satisfied.
Shen Lao and Mu Qing were a little shocked at first, but then they saw each other more times, and their attention returned to the delicious dishes, and they ate heartily.
