"Sweet potato! So many, are they all ours? Gu Jing took out a sweet potato and asked happily.

"Yes, let's pick the sweet potato leaves later, mix some noodles and steam them at night."

"Good! Can we also steam a sweet potato in the evening! ”

"Yes."

Ye Qingyi looked at the forty or fifty sweet potatoes in front of him, and couldn't help asking, "Xiao Jiu, where did you dig this?" There are people on that mountain every day, how can they get so many sweet potatoes without any movement!

"I went to the fog area to dig it." Gu Jiu said honestly.

Hearing the fog area, Ye Qingyi hurriedly checked Gu Jiu up and down: "I haven't been bitten by a snake!" There's no going anywhere! ”

"Mother, it's okay, I've investigated, it's safe to go at noon." Gu Jiu patted Ye Qingyi's hand and continued: "It's just that in the future, you and Xiao Jing won't go out together, and you must make sure that there is someone in our house at all times." ”

Ye Qingyi frowned: "Xiao Jiu, are you afraid of ...... But we're locked when we go out. ”

"This door guards against gentlemen and villains, just in case it's better than eating dumb at that time. Gu Zheqi dislikes raising chickens and ducks, and we don't need to do it, when the time comes, catch two little rabbits and raise them, and we can exchange some money for some meat during the New Year. ”

"Little bunny!" Hearing the little rabbits, Gu Jing hurriedly ran over: "Sister, I can take care of them!" ”

"Okay."

Gu Zhiqi was taken aback, and kicked open their door with his clothes in his arms that night.

"What about potatoes? I didn't see that the master's clothes were dirty, useless things, and even a scholar couldn't do well! ”

Seeing Gu Jing, Gu Zhiqi threw his clothes forward, but before the clothes could be taken off, the person was kicked out.

"Gu Zheqi, I want the scholar to go outside and buy it by himself, my brother Gu Jing is not your servant!"

With an oops, the Wang family, who was hiding behind the door and peeking, immediately ran out.

"Gu Jiu, you're crazy! It's the other way around, and you're still there! Isn't it just for you to do a laundry? You still do this little thing with your brother! ”

Wang came over and carefully helped the person up, and carefully patted the dirt on Gu Zhiqi's body.

"Grandpa made it very clear at the beginning, we will not interfere with each other! This time it's just a warning, and there will be a next time, Gu Zhiqi, I'll let you read these nineteen years in vain! ”

Hearing this, Gu Zheqi immediately pushed away the Wang family and theorized: "Gu Jiu, what are you that you dare to threaten the master?" I haven't settled accounts with you yet! ”

"You brought it on yourself! My father died for your father, you are not only grateful but also proud, the next time you dare to say something to my father, I will tell everyone in the village about your situation at home! ”

"You ......"

"Enough! What is the babbling of the big night, it makes people listen to the joke! Old Man Gu's voice came from the house, and when Wang saw this, he immediately picked up his clothes and pulled Gu Zhiqi away.

She asked the old man carefully about the power here, a girl who can't fight with her, it doesn't matter if she is dead or alive, but if it affects her baby son, it will be worth the loss!

Originally, I also had the attitude of trying, if I can't wash it, I can't wash it, she, as a mother, can still wash her own son's clothes once!

After the people left, Gu Jiu glanced in the direction of the main house and closed the door coldly.

"Sister, are we going to steam sweet potato leaves?"

Gu Jing picked up the leaf that he had hidden in a hurry and asked.

"Go! Now they're being honest. Mother, I'll just go with Xiaojing. ”

In the kitchen, Gu Jiu pasted stickers on the pot, and suddenly remembered Gu Zheqi's white clothes, the material of which was obviously better than theirs.

There is only one teacher in the town, who is already over seventy years old and an old talent, and there are more than a dozen students under his name, and Gu Zhiqi is one of them.

But since Gu Zheqi is so greedy for fame and loves to show off, the rest of the dozen or so people are not far from ten.

Gu Zheqi looked for a scholar and maid to learn from the rich children in the city. Since you can afford to hire a scholar and maid, you will wear better clothes and materials.

She vaguely saw a mulberry tree in the fog area today, and she didn't know if there would be silkworm chrysalis on it. If she had her, she could have taken it to the city and gambled once!

The more Gu Jiu thought about it, the happier he became, and he even saw the silver of Bai Huahua: "Xiao Jing, do you know how to get to the city?" ”

"In the city? That had to go to town, and when I was running errands for my cousin, I heard someone say that there would be a carriage to the town at the end of the decade, and it would take five copper plates each time. ”

At the end of the decade? Isn't that the day after tomorrow? It's just right, let's go to Houshan tomorrow, and if it's really picked, I'll go to the city the day after tomorrow.

"Is my sister going to the city?"

"It's still tentative for now, if you go, I'll bring you something delicious back then."

Silkworms are divided into spring silkworms, summer silkworms, and autumn silkworms, and the three are silkwormed in April, July and October each year.

Right now, in August, the silkworms haven't had time to break their pupae, so she just went to collect the cocoons.

……

"Xiao Jiu, bring more food. You didn't come back for dinner yesterday at noon. Ye Qingyi said as he stuffed another boiled sweet potato into Gu Jiu's arms.

"Okay."

"That place is really dangerous, or my mother should go with you!"

"Oh, no, the two of them are troublesome, there were more than a dozen sweet potatoes in the field yesterday, and I happened to pick them all back today. Besides, you also saw that my cousin kicked the door open with one kick last night, and we finally have something to eat now, and if it is taken away, we will have to go hungry. ”

Ye Qingyi was still not at ease, and babbled and talked for a while.

"Okay, mother, I really won't be able to come back if I delay any longer."

"Okay, okay, mother, don't talk about it, you be careful."

"Hmm."

With yesterday's experience, Gu Jiu quickly pulled out the sixteen sweet potatoes.

Looking for memories, I walked in the direction of the mulberry tree.

Perhaps due to the environment, the mulberry trees here are taller than she remembers, generally more than six meters.

Gu Jiu put the basket on the ground, picked up a one-meter-long stick and tied it to his back, and began to climb up the tree.

She probably never imagined that climbing trees, which she learned as a child, would one day become a life-saving skill.

That system is really, and it even made her an NPC! It's better to let her die, digging out her heart and lungs to fulfill the happiness of others, it would be too painful.

After climbing to the tree, Gu Jiu made sure that there were no snakes in the branches and leaves that were similar to the color of mulberry leaves, and then sat down on the branches with confidence.

Living up to expectations, these mulberry trees do have silkworm cocoons on them. Perhaps because there has been no human visit for a long time, the number of silkworm cocoons is extremely impressive!

Gu Jiu switched the branches back and forth, and threw all the cocoons that had been torn off near the basket.

Just when Gu Jiu was about to change the tree, a green snake climbed in front of her at some point, the snake body hung upside down on the branch, and the snake's head was only thirty centimeters from herself.

Gu Jiu instantly felt that the blood in his whole body was cold, and forcibly calmed himself down to judge whether the snake in front of him was poisonous.

Fortunately, it's just a green snake, which is non-venomous.

This realization made Gu Jiu breathe a sigh of relief. But it was also uncomfortable to be bitten, and for a while, one person and one snake stared at each other with big eyes.

After some time, the snake's head suddenly rose up and began to climb slowly to the top of the tree.

Gu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, and after the other party had climbed a certain distance, he began to slowly climb down the tree.

After picking up all the cocoons on the ground, Gu Jiu climbed three mulberry trees in the same way, and got about 500 cocoons in total.

In addition, Gu Jiu also found a lot of mushrooms and three bird eggs.

"Sister, I haven't seen this mushroom." Gu Jing took out a yellow mushroom from the back basket and said.

"This is called porcini mushrooms, it's delicious when cooked, and we'll have mushroom soup tonight."

"Oh, what is this, it smells so cool."

"Peppermint, for flavoring, it will be better to use it when we cook it."

"Oh, sister, my mother is coming back, let's go cook it now!"

"Okay."

Gu Jiu got up and went to the well to fetch water, while Gu Jing lit the stove.

When the bitter taste of the porcini mushroom itself is pressed down by the mint, the smell of the mushroom completely overflows.

"Sister, it's so fragrant! Can I taste it now? Gu Jing leaned on the stove, sniffing the breath in the pot and asked, he hadn't eaten mushrooms for a long time.

Gu Jiu smiled and said as he took out the three bird eggs and slapped them in the pot: "Wait a little longer, if it is not fully cooked, it may taste bitter." ”

As firewood is added, the smell of mushrooms mixed with bird eggs fills the kitchen.

"Ah, what do you eat, it's so delicious! The second aunt smelled this fragrance from afar! Mushrooms! This thing may be poisonous, the second aunt will taste it for you! As he spoke, Zhao squeezed over.

Gu Jiu looked at the bowl she was carrying, and hurriedly buckled the lid of the pot.

"Don't work for the second aunt, we have boiled a total of three bowls, and you will have to see the bottom of this spoon."

"The second aunt can eat so much, the second aunt will taste it for you! You...... What is this for? Zhao looked at Gu Jiu and asked puzzledly.

"Take the money! My soup is made with bird's eggs, 30 copper plates in a bowl! ”

"Thirty! Gu Jiu, the spicy soup in the town is only two copper plates and a bowl! Don't forget, your eighth sister was approved by a fortune teller to earn 10,000 taels of silver! Are you sure you want to give up a lot of money for the bowl of broken soup in front of you?"

"Sure."

Zhao Shi was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth were full of preaching: "You have to think clearly, this large amount of silver can buy bird eggs piled up all over the house!" ”

"Hmm."

Hearing this, the Zhao family didn't bother to pretend, and raised his hand to push Gu Jiukai away and grab it: "You know what a girl knows about good and bad, I can tell you, the second aunt is helping you." ”

Gu Jiu rolled his eyes speechlessly, pulled his arm, and raised his leg is a kick.

"Hey, you rabbit cub really dare to do it! I'm telling you, it's not over, if you don't give me all this soup today, I, I'll just lie here and won't get up! Saying that, Zhao really leaned back and lay on the ground.

"Sister......" Seeing this, Gu Jing pulled Gu Jiu at a loss, wouldn't he really give it to the second aunt? He didn't want to give it, but what if the second aunt really didn't get up?

"It's okay, the second aunt likes to lie down, and we can't help it. The soup was almost ready, so Xiao Jing went back and got a bigger basin and brought it back at one time. ”

"Okay."

When the soup was served, Zhao sat up, staring at the basin in Gu Jing's hand, as if he would pounce on it and grab it in the next second.
