Chapter 0056, Gifts are exchanged
Xiao Qing calculated roughly, what to plant on those lands, what to plant on these lands, such a good piece of land, and then reclaim it on the mountain, if she can open up terraces, then her family will have more land, and there will be more food that can be planted, she looked up at the terrain on the mountain, or the road she came to is more sloped, it is too steep here.
When she retracted her gaze, Xiao Qing seemed to sense that something was wrong in the woods, was there a pair of eyes on her just now? When she looked up at the woods again, those eyes were gone.
Xiao Qing was taken aback again, those eyes seemed to be human, but they were weird, what was that?
Feeling that it was not safe in the deep mountains, Xiao Qing thought that it was better to leave quickly, and his feet couldn't help but become faster.
But she can be sure of one thing, those eyes are not the strong man, the strong man does not need to hide, the deep mountains are really full of danger, this thing can be taken away quietly to eat, when she picks mushrooms, but she turned around a few times, but there is no trace of that thing.
The more Xiao Qing thought about it, the more scared he became, and left, gone.
She didn't stop for a moment, and hurried back to the place where the mushrooms were picked.
When Xiao Qing arrived, she was shocked by the two bamboo baskets in front of her, two bloody pheasants were lying in her bamboo basket, and they were chickens with broken necks, and the chicken's neck was torn open, and the blood seeped chestnuts and flowed into the bamboo basket.
Xiao Qing was stunned, what ...... is this?
How rare is the pheasant, the villagers on the border of Yaoshan Mountain can't find a living creature all over the mountains, and two suddenly appear here?
Is it for her?
She walked in and took a look, like these two fat and big, even if they were looking for them all over the mountain, they might not be able to find them, she looked around, who would be kind enough to give her pheasants in this deep mountain, but after looking for a long time, there was no shadow, quiet and silent.
Xiao Qing shouted at the empty mountain: "No matter what you are, thank you!" ”
After shouting, Xiao Qing found that his voice was trembling, and he also knew how to exchange courtesies, what kind of animal is it?
She quickly put on the chestnut bamboo basket on her back, held the mushroom bamboo basket in her arms, and hurriedly left the deep mountain.
She walked all the way, all the way back, but she didn't see anything to follow, and when she came to the dogwood fruit tree, she looked back at the bottom of the deep mountain, and the deep mountain was still lush, and there was no sound.
For this incident, although the other party didn't hurt her, she still didn't know what the other party was, which made people feel weird, since the food could buy this unknown beast, which also gave her the confidence to continue.
She saw that it was not early, and she would cut mushrooms when she went home, and sent them to the guest restaurant, and then brought more food next time, these two pheasants are not cheap.
Xiao Qing went down the mountain.
As everyone knows, behind her, there are several pairs of eyes that have been staring at the direction of her departure, and seeing her go down the mountain safely, a few black shadows left.
After Xiao Qing went down the mountain, she didn't have time to rest along the way, the sun was rising higher and higher, and she didn't know what time it was.
As soon as she arrived at the foot of the mountain, she saw Zhou waiting for her at the foot of the mountain.
"Mother, mother!" Zhou began to scream from a distance, and ran towards her quickly.
Xiao Qing didn't expect her to wait for her at the foot of the mountain, this child is honest and very careful, the original owner can have this daughter-in-law to serve, it is a blessing that the original owner has cultivated for eight lifetimes.
"Here, Xiao Chengniang, don't run, there are stones on the ground, beware of falling!"
Zhou looked at the stones on the ground and ran to Xiao Qing quickly, especially when she saw her mother carrying two bamboo baskets up the mountain, she was worried that her mother would faint when she went down the mountain.
"Mother, I'll help you carry the bamboo basket!" Zhou ran to Xiao Qing and said.
But when she saw two pheasants in the bamboo basket, she was surprised and asked, "Mother, is this...... Pheasant? Two, only? ”
Xiao Qing was tired and out of breath, and couldn't spare the strength to talk to her, just nodded by default.
"Mother, you are really amazing, not only can you enter the mountains, but you can also catch pheasants in the mountains, and you can pick so many chestnuts and mushrooms, mother, next time I will definitely go into the mountains with you." Zhou snatched the bamboo basket on her back, carried it on her back, and then helped her mother to go home.
Xiao Qing didn't go to rob her, she was too tired to carry two bamboo baskets, and she gave her the chestnut bamboo basket, the chestnuts were already heavy, and with the two pheasants, she was about to be crushed.
"Xiao Chengniang, go home, let the children get up and help the mother cut the mushrooms together, and the mother will go to the county to send them to the guest restaurant!"
"Okay, mother!" Zhou responded happily.
After Xiao Qing lost the chestnut bamboo basket, his feet became lighter.
The road she walked early in the morning was already overloaded, and just thinking about it, she had already arrived home, and it was estimated that there were a lot of steps in the system mall.
After Xiao Qing arrived home, he sat in the yard to rest, and Zhou put the chestnut bamboo basket in the yard.
"Xiaolan, Xiaoyu, come out and take a look, see what my mother caught in the mountains?" Zhou carried two pheasants on one side and walked into the grass hut on the other.
The Qin family was cooking breakfast, Xiaoyu was burning the fire, and the two poked their heads out: "Sister-in-law, what did my mother catch?" ”
When the two of them saw it, Qin Shi looked at the two pheasants in surprise, there were still pheasants in the deep mountains? Didn't it say that the living creatures on the mountain were beaten by Yaoshan Village and Fangjia Village and other villages? Mother caught pheasants, and caught two?
"A few days ago, my mother caught a wild pigeon in the woods behind the house, but I didn't expect that my mother would be able to catch pheasants in the mountains every few days? Mother is amazing! Qin said in amazement.
Qiao Yu stared at the two pheasants, thinking of the roast chicken they had eaten at noon yesterday, and the taste of the roast chicken was still in his mouth.
"Wow, how did you catch it? Are these pigeons and chickens lying down obediently and being caught by their mothers? Qiao Yu asked ignorantly.
The three of them laughed and sent the chickens into the grass hut together.
Xiao Qing saw that a few people were happy, thinking that the pheasant was fat, and it was okay to eat one, and the remaining one might as well be pickled, and then hoard it, and when the drought and winter came, it could be taken out and eaten.
"Yuan Yuan Niang, you will have breakfast later, and the two chicken feathers will be faded, one chicken will be kept and salted, and the other will be stewed and boiled in the afternoon to replenish the body of the second meridian." Xiao Qing commanded.
Qin Shi frowned, that salt is more precious than chicken, is it really going to be pickled? But when my mother said it, she had to listen to it again.
"Okay mother, but mother, that salt is very expensive......"
Xiao Qing smiled: "I'll go to the county seat and buy some later." ”
Qin felt that her mother would spend money, but she could only obey her mother's words.
Zhou put the chickens in the grass shed, and when they came out, they went to call Qiao Chengyangzi and Yuanyuan Shui Yuan, who were still sleeping, and asked them to get up and pick up mushrooms together.
Xiao Qing saw that the meal was almost ready, so he asked the Qin family to go to the old horse's house in the village and call the donkey cart.
Two adults and a few children, after quickly cutting the mushrooms, put them back into the bamboo basket layer by layer, looking neat and clean.
Xiao Qingxi was almost over, Qin Shi baked her a piece of white-flour wild vegetable cake before leaving, she drank a bowl of millet porridge, and after eating it in a hurry, she walked to the entrance of the courtyard with mushrooms and chili powder noodles on her back.
Just at this time, the old horse's donkey cart also came to the head of the village.
