Chapter Twenty-Eight: Why Do You Wear Animal Skins?
It's not blushing, it's annoyed.
I don't know why, obviously this young man is so handsome and peugeot, but every time she and him meet, they always have to be unhappy.
He Zao felt that it must be because of this young man's attitude towards her in the final analysis.
She pursed her lips secretly, sat there and yawned slowly, then looked at the bamboo basket that the young man threw on the ground, paused, and asked, "Hey, can you lend me that bamboo basket?" ”
She barely had eaten just now, and she was hungry now.
Ah Che looked at her, thought about it, and then untied a fish from the straw rope and threw it to her: "If you want to fish, don't have to be so troublesome, mine is for you." ”
He Zao thought to himself, this person is still quite generous!
She has always reciprocated the favor, and when she saw the appearance of the young man, she asked, "Have you not eaten lunch yet?" ”
The boy didn't answer, and there was a clear shadow of the sun shining on his handsome face.
He Zao said: "Anyway, I have to boil fish soup, you can eat it here, I can't finish a single fish!" ”
Ah Che hesitated, but nodded seriously.
Although he felt that He Zao, a little girl, was very bold, but in the end she was only eight or nine years old, she was a child, and when she came over with an angry face just now, she must have been wronged at home!
He also wants to do it when he goes back, so let's eat together.
He looked at He Zao: "Just make a fire here?" ”
He Zao was happy and jumped up: "Well, it's cool here, will you clean up the fish, you clean up first, clean up a little bit, I'll go pick up dry firewood, this piece is too wet." ”
Before the boy could reply, she went into the woods.
Ah Che looked at the fish in his hand, this little girl would call him unscrupulously, not a little embarrassed, I really don't know if he is too bold...... It's also a shame that he has done a decent job of cutting fish during this time.
Still, he crouched down, took out a dagger, threw the fish against the stone, and began to disembowel.
When He Zao returned, the fish had been cleaned.
The boy was moving two relatively square stones to make a simple stove.
He Zao not only picked up a lot of dry firewood and came back, but also hugged a few slender iron rods and yams.
She had just dug it up, and the yams were much thicker than the ones they had eaten last time, and they must have tasted better.
Ah Che looked at it with some curiosity.
Listening to his accent, you know that he is not from Huaiqing Mansion, but a very thoughtful official dialect, He Zao explained: "This is called the iron stick yam, it is our specialty here, it is not only delicious when cooked, but also easy to fill the stomach, and it is the food for life in the disaster year......" She smiled: "It is too demanding on the growth environment, so only the wild ones, the farmers will also dig some to eat a wild fun when they see it, and they will rarely plant it!" ”
In the end, it's a country girl, and it's clear about these wild things.
Ah Che listened attentively, watching her quickly find the hidden crockpot, wash it and add water, set it on the fire and start boiling.
He Zao smiled at him with a smile on his face: "There are pepper trees over there, and there are a lot of red peppercorns, you go and bring some over, let's put it in the soup to taste better!" ”
Ah Che's clear dark eyes glanced at her.
He Zao suddenly remembered a question and couldn't help asking: "Do you know peppercorns?" It's just a small red particle, and the taste is a little ......."
Before he finished speaking, the boy stood up without saying a word, turned around and entered the woods, which was in the direction of the pepper tree.
He Zao was stunned, so he smiled and began to wash the yams, thinking while washing, when he was free, he would have to go around the deep mountains.
In the previous life, the grandparents of the family would go to the mountains with their neighbors to pick wolfberries, and there were many wild wolfberries in the mountains, but the wolfberries were not to be sold, but some of them were dried and kept for soup, and some of them were used to make wine. At home, there are glassware specially bought for brewing, and there is a faucet underneath, which is clean and convenient when you turn the switch after brewing.
They have two such wine-making vessels at home, one is used to make wolfberry wine, and the other is used to make wine. When guests come to the house, these two kinds of wine are served, which are both decent and rare, and they are better than those bought in the supermarket.
Every time he goes back to his hometown, he likes to drink some wolfberry wine and wine before going to bed.
Nowadays, if you want to cook yams, it would be better if you could put in some goji berries.
But the wolfberry is in the deep mountains, in the previous life after the scenic spot was developed, the road is still quite difficult to walk, grandparents and they will go into the mountain once a year, so at this time the mountain road should be how rugged and difficult to walk, not to mention.
Not to mention the presence of ferocious beasts.
He Zao sighed with some regret.
I got up and went to pick the mushrooms, washed and broke them, waited for the water to boil and put the fish in, and cut the yam into small pieces and put it in, and the boy came back.
He not only took peppercorns, but also took a handful of leeks.
He has long been in front of her, relying on the mountain is good, up and down are treasures, she almost forgot, this mountain is not only growing iron stick yams, honeysuckle, persimmon trees, pepper trees, wolfberries, and leeks full of game.
She remembers that when she was very young, her mother once took her up the mountain to pick up leeks, which grew thick and dense, very vigorous, but in a short time, she took two big bags, and sent some to relatives, friends, and neighbors when she went back, so the people around her were eating dumplings for a few days.
"This wild leek is spicy and full of flavor, and it will definitely taste fresher when you put it in the soup later."
She smiled and took it over to clean.
Ah Che also silently washed the red peppercorns: "Throw it in now?" ”
He didn't seem to be good at cooking, and asked He Zao hesitantly.
The delicate and picturesque eyebrows and eyes wrinkled together, as if they had encountered a big problem, He Zao couldn't help but laugh and nodded: "Zhong, put peppercorns just to enhance the taste." You see that the small bamboo tube is not, it is the leftover salt water used by the eldest sister last time, it is hot, it must be full of salt crystals, you take the scoop water and pour it in, it should be enough for us to eat this time! ”
The boy did so silently.
He Zao saw that his forehead and sideburns were full of fine sweat, and asked curiously, "Why do you always wear animal skins?" It's hot and hot, and you're not afraid of heat stroke again? ”
The movement in the young man's hand paused, and he did not speak.
He Zao secretly guessed that it must not be that he had no clothes to wear, because she had to dry honeysuckle, she went to his house several times before and after, and he was neatly dressed when he was at home.
Isn't it true that you don't want people to find out when you wear animal skins?
She said tentatively: "Either I will tell the adults in the family about your situation, or you can find someone to talk to the village and let him agree to live in the village, you are not very old, and it is not like that to live in the mountains every day, and there is no guarantee of safety!" This mountain is miles deep, and there are tigers and beasts! ”
She spoke with an old-fashioned look, but in fact she was just a thin little girl, Ah Che wanted to laugh, but quickly shook her head: "No, I only live for a while, I don't want to trouble the people in your village!" ”
The most important thing is that you don't want people to find him, right?
He Zao was a little depressed, and lowered his little face to pick out the yellowed leek leaves one by one.
