Volume 1 Anecdotes of a Small Town Chapter 27 Running Away from Home (3)
Shui'er returned to the old street study, cooked, laundry, washed dishes, swept the floor, sorted, repaired flowers and plants, and changed bamboo recliners...... There are no students, no subjects, no copying, no rulers, no people, no words...... Relatively silent, only silent and silent.
And so the day passed.
When the morning sun swept over the earth again, the gentleman awoke. As soon as he opened his eyes, he thought of Shui'er, and hurriedly got out of bed to look at Shui'er's room. The futon was a mess, and when I touched it, it was already cold.
The gentleman sat down at the table, looked at the pastry from Zhao Mingdeng, and fell into deep thought.
......
It was the same dawn again, when the water woke up. She thought so yesterday - if she woke up after her husband, she would never run away from home again.
Shui'er tiptoed to the courtyard door again, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he remembered that the door was still locked next door, so he touched the back door.
The old street study is the old house of Zhao Mingdeng's family, because the family road became dilapidated and useless, so it was abandoned. There is a back door between the two houses, which was originally sealed, and the husband lived for several years without discovering it, and the door was opened after only a few days of living in Shui'er.
The back door is small and narrow, the water passes through, and it is not crowded, and it is not strange to see the lights of Zhao Mingdeng's house lit up and the sound of busyness.
Zhao Mingdeng woke up earlier, preparing for the opening of the store, in fact, it doesn't have to be so early, it's just a habit for many years.
Zhao Mingdeng took the baked cake that he had just prepared to eat, and he was not surprised to find a small figure rushing out. With a professional smile, he handed the biscuit to Shui'er. Shui'er thanked him and went back.
Zhao Mingdeng clapped his hands, ready to continue working, when he suddenly realized that something was wrong—huh? Where's my baked cake? Why did she come so early? What did it happen now?
It's dawning again, and there is only Shui Er alone on the deserted street, where should she go?
......
Hustle and bustle.
The word Dan in the hustle and bustle comes to the unique flow path of the voluntary river and its branches.
Three miles away from the west of the hustle and bustle city, there is a mountain, the terrain is square, from the map, it seems to be a mouthful of words, and its name eats the mountain.
Legend has it that many, many years ago, there was a man who was often ridiculed for stuttering, but later he became the king of the mountain, taught all those who had laughed at him, and changed the name of the mountain to stutter. Since then, the name of the stuttering mountain has spread all over the world, and the stuttering king still stutters, but no one laughs at him anymore.
Later, Stuttering Mountain received the attention of the imperial court, and it was ordered that it would be safe. Since the death of the stuttering king, the stuttering mountain has plummeted, and within a few months, all of them have returned to the imperial court. In the end, the imperial court no longer took a fancy to the stuttering mountain, and let it go.
A few decades ago, a group of people declared to the outside world that "the stuttering mountain belongs to us", stationed here, became bandits, and caused chaos all year round. But the court really didn't care about them anymore, and although these thieves didn't make trouble to the point that the people were miserable, and they hadn't heard of human lives, no one liked to walk on the road, and suddenly someone shouted at you to rob. Although the people's grievances are backlogged, no one can do anything about it.
Many years have passed, and the bandit forces have somehow shrunk sharply, and now, they occupy an acre of square inch of land on the stuttering mountain, and they rarely even go down the mountain to rob, just grow vegetables and livestock, and are self-sufficient, making it look like a small village.
As a result, these bandits were forgotten, and only the older ones remembered them occasionally.
Mr. and Yasha played against each other, and it was in this stuttering mountain that he was eating.
......
The bright light is shining, the breeze blows the hills, and the stuttering mountains are accompanied by the Yuanjiang River, not to mention the beautiful mountains and rivers, and it is also a very fresh place. The water is playing in the mountains and forests, and both eyes are full of curiosity and excitement, as if everything has been forgotten and disappeared.
Shui'er suddenly felt a little hungry, she only remembered to ask her husband for food, but forgot about herself. I saw that there were a few ugly mushrooms next to my feet, so I picked them off and took a closer look.
This dusty mushroom looks very similar to shiitake, but it is by no means a shiitake mushroom, and it is also very poisonous and should not be eaten. Shui Er followed Mr. to study, not only reading the Four Books and Five Classics, famous poetry collections, from the famous scriptures and books, down to the miscellaneous history, and even the recipe pharmacopoeia.
Shui Er is not only extremely talented, but also has an excellent memory, which can almost be said to be unforgettable. The knowledge that Mr. has received, not to mention understanding the true meaning, also remembering a large number, distinguishing whether the mushroom can be eaten or not, she naturally knows it in her heart.
However, these are all from books, I have not actually seen them, I am inexperienced, and on a few occasions I almost stuffed other poisonous plants into my mouth. She angrily uprooted these poisonous plants and stepped on them a few times.
About two hours later, Shui Er came to a thick tree stump and sat down with a simple basket made of rattan, most of which were mushrooms, wild vegetables and fruits.
Shui'er grabbed an unknown wild fruit, took a bite, slightly sour, but very thirst-quenching, in a good mood, sitting on the stump of the tree shaking his head, dancing with his hands. She didn't have time to tie a small mustache, otherwise the little mustache would definitely sway with it, and the appearance of her shoulder-length short hair also makes people feel cute.
Grill.
This word suddenly appeared in Shui'er's mind, this is a way to cook from the book, it is mouth-watering, Shui'er has long wanted to try it, but Mr. said that the barbecue taste is too strong, it will affect others, so I have never had a chance, and I don't know if it's true.
If you have an idea, you will do it, this is Shui'er's consistent style, and this time is no exception, not to mention that it is good to eat, anyway, Mr. is not there, and it is not up to you to decide what to do.
When I returned to the bamboo forest I was passing by, I picked up thin bamboo branches to make bamboo sticks, made thicker ones into shelves, found stones and velvet to start a fire, washed the mushrooms in the nearby stream, and when everything was ready, I remembered the method in the book and started to barbecue.
After a while, the fragrance floated out, and the water took a closer look and smelled it, and it was indeed as the gentleman said, the taste was very big, it was a fragrance, and the saliva immediately flowed out, and the stomach also screamed excitedly. She looked nervously around to make sure no one was hearing, and continued to drool.
Sprinkle the salt that you took from Zhao Mingdeng's house, and take a bite, the taste can only be described by cool words, fragrant on the outside and tender on the inside, with sufficient moisture, and it is indescribable The delicacy is swirling on the tip of the tongue, it is simply the top delicacy in the world, which is addictive.
From now on, you must barbecue a lot, no matter what impact it has, just be delicious, Shui Er secretly planned in his heart. It's a pity that it's just mushrooms, and the book says that you can also roast mutton and duck intestines, which must be more delicious.
Thinking about it like this, the water seems to have been eaten, the barbecue mutton and duck intestines, I can't help but smirk, I can't stop saliva, and I can only bite the second bite...... But it didn't work.
Shui'er's hand was slapped away heavily, and the delicious skewer of roasted mushrooms spun four or five times in the air, and finally fell to the ground mercilessly, unable to eat again.
The power of barbecue is truly amazing, and the incomparable deliciousness spreads everywhere, and all living beings will be attracted. If the barbecue is mutton and duck intestines, maybe it will attract wolves, tigers, or something, and the water is barbecuing mushrooms, and these meat-eaters will lose interest, but those birds, rats, and whatnot, they are likely to come and see.
Of course, if people smell it, they will definitely come to see it.
It's like this Mr. Bandit now.
"Little bastard, dare to barbecue on Lao Tzu's territory, do you know who I am...... If the forest catches fire, will you be responsible?"
