On the first day Tu Hao arrived in Taiping County, he did not eat noodles with eel paste.

As for this person, when he thinks of something occasionally, he doesn't think much of it at first, but once he doesn't eat it, he will think about it and think about it over and over again.

Xu Mingxu listened to the little mouse dreaming about eel paste noodles at night, and when he saw the cook the next day, he sent someone to buy it in the market, but he didn't see it, so he suggested to Tu Hao after breakfast: "Let's go catch eels? "

Today happened to be Xiu Mu, and Tu Hao hadn't arrived yet: "Okay. Will my cousin go?"

Ye Dahua wanted to get familiar with the local environment, and readily agreed: "Go."

Although the rice field eels are the fattest in summer and autumn, the group of them are just using catching rice field eels as an excuse to find opportunities to go out and play.

It is not yet time for spring plowing, but the weather is not as cold as winter, so it is like taking the children for an outing.

Xu Mingxu prepared a suit of clothes for Tu Hao, and what he moved to the car was a rather large cage.

Ye Dahua was amazed: "Brother Xu, what did you bring with you?" How particular about literati, even if he studied in Jiangdan Shushu for another three to five years, he probably wouldn't be able to figure it out.When he went out this time, he just prepared some commonly used weapons.As for the food for the day, the tools for catching eels, and other miscellaneous necessary things, there are naturally servants to help take care of them.

"It's just the little mouse's clothes." The little mouse doesn't need to catch eels by himself, but if the young boy gets naughty, if the clothes get dirty or splashed with water, there must be a change of clothes.In the current weather, it is not very cold in the daytime, but it is cold in the morning and evening, so you have to bring thick and thin ones.

Ye Dahua shook her head, disapproving: "It's enough to prepare two, but why bring so many?" The little mouse is also a young man, not a delicate girl, he can ride a horse by himself!

Xu Mingxu smiled, not to mention that he was still worried about not having enough belts, turned around and carried Tu Hao who was still sleeping into the carriage, and made a gesture to prevent Ye Dahua from waking him up: "There is still a long way to the end of the land, this way I'm tired after coming here, I snored last night."

Ye Dahua fell silent.Along the way, his perception of Tu Hao has indeed changed a lot.In his previous impression, Tu Hao could not escape the impression of being pampered and pampered. He was smart and really good in all aspects, but he definitely couldn't suffer much.He still felt in his heart that this three-day journey might take five or six days. Maybe Tu Hao would be tired after he left the house.

But he never expected that Tu Hao never said a single word of complaint along the way.Is it because the journey went smoothly and there was no hard work?of course not.Not to mention a young master like Tu Hao, but the bookboy next to Tu Hao, who was said to have practiced his hands and feet, was a very energetic young man, and he became listless the next day.

He got on his horse, thought for a while, and muttered: "Forget it." The little mouse is a literati, and he doesn't want to go to war like him in the future. If he is coddled, he will be coddled, not to mention he is so sensible...

Sensible xx ah!

Ye Dahua wished to beat herself to death when she was an hour ago. Seeing the bastard cousin crawling on the tree to dig out the bird's nest, she was furious: "Stinky boy, come down for me!" When will you be able to climb trees?Which bastard taught it?

Xu Mingxu, who was also guarding under the tree, felt a little nervous, but he just opened his arms and said, "Be careful, take your time, don't be afraid."

Tu Hao sat on a thick branch of a tree, less than three meters high from the ground, and was in a mess. He glanced at the three bird eggs in the palm-sized bird's nest, thought it was very interesting, and took it. When one came out, he raised his hand and asked, "What kind of bird's egg is this?"

Ye Dahua ignored it: "You don't care what kind of bird's egg it is, take it out and get down quickly!" What if it falls?

Xu Mingxu took a closer look: "It seems to belong to a woodpecker."

Woodpeckers are beneficial birds.Tu Hao put the bird's egg back, looked up at the top of the tree, and then climbed down quickly, and dodged directly behind Xu Mingxu, avoiding Ye Dahua's hand that was trying to sneak over.

Ye Dahua lost her temper after being tossed about: "After passing through this forest, you can see people. I will find a villager to take us to catch eels later."

"Okay." Tu Hao obediently responded, and opened his hands for Xu Mingxu to hug, "Brother, I will take you on a horseback ride." Beauty, I will give you a BMW from now on!

Xu Mingxu couldn't help laughing: "Okay." After finishing speaking, he carried Tu Hao onto the horse's back, turned onto the horse himself, and handed the reins to him with the child around him, "Be careful, don't run too fast."

"Don't worry, I can ride a horse safely!"

There are many slots and no mouths.Ye Dahua rolled her eyes while listening, but she didn't dare to ride her horse and run ahead to explore the way like before.Just now he just walked away for a while, and the mouse climbed up the tree in a blink of an eye.This kind of forest looks like people often come in to chop firewood, but who knows if there are any poisonous snakes, insects, rats and ants?What if I was bitten by a poisonous insect?

After a short walk, the group saw a village.

People in the village eat two meals a day.They came out early, just in time for the villagers to have breakfast.Every household is full of smoke, and it makes people feel refreshed when they look at it.

Some children were playing outside and were called home by the adults for dinner.

With so many of them, they were seen almost as soon as they entered the village. They were tall horses and armed with weapons, so they were not easy to mess with.Many people didn't care about eating, and some children were curious and wanted to come forward, but were arrested and locked up in the house.That is, the adults did not go out at will, and all of them observed from a distance.

Sensing the vigilance of the villagers, Ye Dahua waved the convoy to stop in the open space outside the village.He has seen this situation many times.The common people are always in awe of the officials, and there are always some dudes who bully others, so many common people have to stay away from them.

When the village head heard the news, he rushed over quickly. Seeing the orderly appearance of a group of people, he was relieved first, and then hurriedly saluted.

Xu Mingxu stepped forward to greet the village head.Soon the group was taken by the village head to the village head's house to settle down.

Needless to say, the servants began to unload the things they brought with them one by one, and began to prepare some snacks in an orderly manner.

Tu Hao had nothing to do, looking curiously at the village head's house.The three big tiled houses of blue bricks in the main house are definitely regarded as mansions in the village, but when you get closer to the house, the ground is only compacted concrete, without bricks, let alone wooden floors.Other firewood houses and kitchens still have thatched roofs.

The little grandson of the village chief looked about seven or eight years old, and he looked very stocky. He squatted on the threshold of the stove with his rice bowl in his hand, and looked at them curiously with a pair of black and white eyes.

Tu Hao thought it was interesting, walked over and asked, "My name is Tu Hao, what's your name?"

The child was very polite, put down the bowl, and said, "My name is Feng Dagen!" There had never been a white and clean boy like Tu Hao in the village, not even in the town.

Children are always familiar with each other.Coupled with Tu Hao's careful guidance, he became acquainted with Feng Dagen in a short while.After Ye Dahua finished walking around outside and Xu Mingxu finished communicating with the village chief, in a blink of an eye he saw his little mouse sitting on the threshold with other children drinking porridge, holding a rough clay bowl that he didn't know where it came from.

Xu Mingxu saw that it was a bowl of coarse grain porridge that was about to bottom out, almost full of soup, and asked, "Is it delicious?"

"It's very fragrant." The taste is not delicious.After all, the coarse grains these days are not the kind of finely processed coarse grains of the later generations, and cooking is also worrying about spending firewood. Even if they are soaked in advance, they are still barely cooked.

The child didn't understand the subtlety of the wording, and just thought it was a new friend who praised the delicious porridge at their house, and was very happy. Hearing that they were going to catch eels, he volunteered to take them there: "I'll come Take you there!"

The village chief scolded his grandson: "You're fooling around. Let the old man's eldest son bring some nobles there?"

Xu Mingxu nodded in agreement, seeing that Tu Hao seemed to be taking a child with him, he beckoned to him.

Feng Dagen looked at his grandfather, and found that his grandfather did not object strictly, so he stood beside Tu Hao with a smile, and praised his ability in a low voice: "When I catch the eel, I will take you to a rabbit!"

Tu Hao is not a real kid. Although he was tempted by the rabbit trap, he restrained himself: "Okay, next time I come, you take me there." After he got a clear idea of ​​the surrounding situation, he arrived Time to come again.Rabbit hit, wait!

In fact, in the village, almost everyone knows how to fish and catch eels.It's just that rice field eels are too fierce. Although everyone knows it's a good thing, few people really dare to catch them. Even if they are caught, they will basically buy them at restaurants and restaurants in the city to make some money for themselves.

Tu Hao was the first to suggest it. When it was his turn to catch eels, he was stopped at the back, even carried on his back by Xu Mingxu, and he was not allowed to go to the field.

The eldest son of the village chief saw a group of nobles following him, and he just put a few baskets specially used for catching ricefield eels by the river. Will your lord eat this food?"

"Eat!" Tu Hao waved his hand, and asked someone to collect half a bucket of loach, and the rice field eel didn't even care about it. When he returned to the village, he gave some useless things he brought to the village head's family as a reward, "Caught rice field eel Bring it to me."

After the group of them left, the village chief's family didn't recover.

Feng Dagen knocked on an iron pot, grinning: "Mother, this pot is different from the pot we use at home."

His mother hugged him away and slapped him on the butt: "This is an iron pot, it's worth a lot of money." Of course, their family's conditions are among the best in the village.But building these three tile-roofed houses also spent all their savings, and the iron pot was absolutely unthinkable.Unexpectedly, I received a distinguished guest once, that is, the half bucket of loach can be exchanged for an iron pot!

After such a commotion between the two, the rest of the village chief's family came to their senses, and hurriedly counted the things left by the nobles.In addition to an iron pot, there is also a bag of rice that weighs no less than ten catties, a box full of three layers of snacks, and even the cloth used to spread the table looks good, and there are a few soft cushions.

The village chief smacked his mouth: "Put these things away, and wait for the nobles to come to entertain them next time. Hurry up and find a way to find more mountain goods, and send them to the nobles tomorrow... to the county magistrate."
