The farther they went south, the more they found that the dry and cracked land seemed to be rare, and although it was still dry, the ground under their feet was obviously in better condition.

There are even some unknown grasses on the side of the road, and even if there is no food, everyone can't afford to cut the roots of the trees to eat.

Such a scene made everyone happy, and Li Zheng was even more excited and couldn't help himself, and specially ran to Jian Shiming and said:

"Brother Ming, you see that the road conditions are getting better and better, I think we will soon find a place willing to accept us."

"Hmm."

Jian Shiming's face was also full of smiles, the most difficult part of the road had been walked, and they seemed to see hope.

In the afternoon, the team stopped at a small stream for repairs, and Tao Xi took everyone's bamboo tube to fill the water.

The water in the creek is very clear and abundant, so everyone doesn't have to rush to fill the water, Tao Xi blocked everyone's sight with his sleeves, and secretly injected the water of the space into the bamboo tube.

When she came back, she found Mu Qiong and their carriage parked next to them, and Mu Qiong didn't have the cheekiness to talk to Jian Shiming this time.

The guards moved a chair for her, and Mu Qiong sat on the chair, and Mu Qi next to her was holding an oil-paper umbrella, blocking the sun for her.

At this time, it was close to sunset, and the sun was not very hot, so Mu Qiong looked very contrived.

"Xianggong, just filled with water."

Tao Xi's voice was sweet, and she felt tired, this time she was not mistaken, and handed him Jian Shiming's bamboo tube.

"Childe Jane!"

Mu Qiong saw Jian Shiming take the bamboo tube, and immediately said: "The water in this stream is somewhat unclean.

This is the water I put from the county well, you can take it and drink it. ”

With a water bladder in her hand, she got up and came to their ox cart, her beautiful eyes were full of expectation, but Jian Shiming didn't answer.

"Thank you girl for your kindness, but I have the water that the lady pretends to be."

When he faced Mu Qiong, his voice was always indifferent, which made Mu Qiong very hurt.

But she always remembered the appearance of Jian Shiming's official robe when she died in her previous life, and he was the first assistant in the future.

Even some temper is normal, she has to endure it.

Thinking so, Mu Qiong squeezed the water bladder in her hand, and just wanted to leave, but the next second she was frightened.

"Ahh

It's a snake, a flower snake is next to her leg, Mu Qiong is most afraid of snakes, this thing is disgusting and scary when it squirms, she is immediately frightened and her heart beats faster.

Because she was on Jian Shiming's side, the distance between the guards was a little far, Mu Qiong was so frightened that she lost her face and retreated again and again.

At this moment, a figure quickly appeared in front of her, and she saw that the man pinched the snake's seven inches, and a smile appeared on his dark face.

"Xianggong, we can drink broth at night!"

Tao Xi blinked her big bright eyes, as if she had gotten something good, looking at the flower snake writhing in her hand, Mu Qiong almost threw up.

She stammered, "You... You're going to eat snakes? ”

"It's meat."

Tao Xi corrected Mu Qiong's words very seriously, and Jian Erni immediately agreed.

"My sister-in-law reads a lot of books, and she said that if she can eat it, she must be able to eat it."

"Drop, ten points."

"It's edible!"

Jian Shiyi also waved his little hands excitedly, and the person who made a fuss turned into Mu Qiong.

She was so frightened that her heart was pounding, and Tao Xi thought it was funny, so she asked Jian Erni to fetch a bucket of water, and then took out a big knife from the back basket.

He began to deal with the snake in front of Mu Qiong, first slaughtering the live snake, peeling it, cutting it into small pieces, and watching the flower snake turn over and over in Tao Xi's hands.

Mu Qiong's little face turned pale with fright, Mu Qi trotted over and hurriedly supported Mu Qiong, and reprimanded Tao Xi coldly:

"You're scaring our girl!"

"Ah, you're afraid of snakes?"

Tao Xi seemed to have just found out, and said apologetically: "Then don't look at it."

Our family hasn't eaten meat for a long time, and we can finally get some meat. ”

The movements of her hands did not stop, and in order to show off in front of Mu Qiong, Tao Xi consciously entered the space to exchange for a material bag.

The five-point material package is fragrant, and Jian Erni is particularly eye-catching and began to catch fire.

Tao Xi first poured some oil into the clay pot, waited for the clay pot to heat up, and threw the material bag in, although it was something he had never seen before, but ......

Everyone in the Jian family selectively ignored the strange things that Tao Xi took out, and tacitly did not speak.

When the fragrance of the package came out, Tao Xi put the snake segment in it again, and stir-fried it with a wooden spoon for a while before she poured the water into the bamboo tube.

This is the water of the space, and the soup stewed out must be delicious, and when the clay pot was covered, Tao Xi raised his eyes and found that everyone was staring at the clay pot.

It is simple to make, but it uses the purest ingredients, and slowly the flavor of the meat rolls.

Everyone in Taomu Village couldn't help but raise their eyes to look over, but because of Tao Xi and Jian Shiming's previous dedication to Taomu Village, no one would be jealous of them.

It's just that the little eyes will glance at them from time to time, and then they will smack and smell the meat.

There are powerful men, and they have also begun to look around, after all, this place is still richer than their hometown.

Of course, this has to be except for the old Jane family, who smell the meat and stick to it like dogs.

Seeing this scene, Mu Qiong's stomach was churning, and she was helped back to sit down by Mu Qi, but her eyes never left them.

After simmering for a while, Tao Xi lifted the clay pot, and the smell of meat suddenly wafted into everyone's noses.

Jian Shiyi's little guy's eyes widened in surprise, "It's so fragrant, it turns out that snakes can really eat, sister-in-law, you are so powerful." ”

"Ten points."

Jian Erni has honor, and happily agreed, "Of course my sister-in-law is powerful, there is nothing that my sister-in-law doesn't know." ”

"Ten points."

"Brother Ming, your lord has been hungry for a long time, how can you say that this meat has to be filial to the elderly, right?"

Jian Lao squatted not far from them with three eyes, he had been beaten by Tao Xi several times before, and he still felt pain in his flesh now.

Although he didn't dare to step forward and fight Tao Xi, it didn't mean that he could be willing to smell the meat.

Jian Laosi also said with a stiff face: "What the third brother said is right, Brother Ming, you are a member of our old Jane family, and you can't forget the rules." ”

He glanced at Mu Qiong from time to time, hoping that Mu Qiong would take a fancy to him, but Mu Qiong looked at these refugees with dirty eyes, and he didn't remember that he was the one who stopped the carriage before.

Instead, he pinched the handkerchief and gently covered his lips, with a look of disgust.

Tao Xi first scooped a bowl of snake soup with a wooden spoon, and handed it to Jian Shiming in the expectant eyes of everyone.

"Xianggong, your body is weak, this snake soup can replenish your body, drink it quickly."

"Thank you, lady."

Jian Shiming took it without changing his face, completely ignoring the people of the old Jane family, and gently blew the hot air with a wooden spoon.

Seeing that Tao Xi was going to give a few small snake soups, Old Man Jian, who had been pretending to be reserved, finally couldn't sit still.

He got up and walked to Jian Shiming's ox cart and coughed lightly.

"Ahem......"

Tao Ximian did not change color, and handed the packed snake soup to Jian Erni, Jian Shiyi and Jian Shiwu, and gently admonished.

"Drink slowly, be careful of burning."
