Husband in limbo

Chapter 7 Continue to Find Food

The two of them rested for a while before they recovered, and then they cleaned and changed their clothes. After doing this, both of them felt alive again.

Then he started cooking. Yu Wenqing was not in the mood to cook, so he asked Xiao Ke to cook rice soup and heat up the buns.And he himself sorted out the gains of the two.

Sort the greens and put them away. He knows that leafy vegetables can’t last long, and it’s better to eat them fresh, so he plans to make dried vegetables or pickled vegetables, but both of them need to be dried.

And each has two fist-sized eggs, and Yu Wenqing carefully put them in the kitchen cabinet where the bowls and chopsticks are placed.As for the two rabbits, Yu Wenqing didn't intend to kill them, but wanted to keep them and give birth to them. There were still nearly four months until winter, so it was still possible to raise a litter of little rabbits.

After making the plan, Yu Wenqing thought about how to build a nest for the rabbits, but because he had no tools at hand, he could only ask Xiao Ke to continue to bother Lin Kai to pass the word, asking Liu Yi to bring a cage that could raise rabbits next time. It would be good to bring some tools for making cages.Knowing that the master doesn't plan to eat two rabbits, Xiaoke regrets not being able to eat meat, but thinking that there will be more meat, Xiaoke is motivated.

When sleeping, both of them felt sore all over, and then helped each other rub their backs, arms and legs, so that they could fall asleep peacefully.

The next day Yu Wenqing got up late, and Xiao Ke naturally did the same. The two of them washed up together. This morning Yu Wenqing made scrambled eggs, egg drop vegetable soup, and steamed rice. Xiao Ke was so addicted to eating. Only one egg was used.

Patting her stomach, Xiao Ke said excitedly: "Master, scrambled eggs are so delicious!"

Yu Wenqing took a sip of the clear soup, and slightly curled the corner of his lower lip, "Well, it's good if it's delicious. Today we bring a small earthen pot, so we can cook something for lunch."

"Well, I still eat eggs at noon."

Yu Wenqing smiled, "You can eat it if you want."

After drying all the things to be dried, the two of them went out again.

Yesterday, the two of them didn't go very high up the mountain, and they didn't even reach the halfway up the mountain. This time, the two of them planned to continue walking up.

Along the road that was reclaimed last time, the place is very vast, and they couldn't search for food in a carpet-like manner. Originally, there was a lot of food here, and there was no need for that. But this time the two of them went up the mountain in different directions, and they encountered some fruit trees on the road. There are orange trees, and what makes Yu Wenqing most happy is that they found several wild grape trees.There are a lot of grapes, and there are traces of birds pecking, which makes him happy but also very upset that there is no sugar.

As for the fruit trees, thinking of the empty front and back yards of the cold palace, Yu Wenqing planned to dig some back, but the targets were naturally those relatively small fruit trees.

After picking a few bunches of grapes and putting them in the basket, the two continued to climb the mountain.On the way, the two people found some more carrots, and were lucky enough to find some carrots. The two dug another trap by the way, but this one was deeper.

Yu Wenqing was looking around to see if there was anything to eat, when Xiao Ke suddenly grabbed his hand and ran away.

"What's wrong?" He looked back and saw that there was nothing chasing them.

"Bee, I saw a bee. It's a big plate. The bee bites people very painful, and it will make a big bag." Xiao Ke patted her small chest with a frightened look.

Yu Wenqing thought for a moment, the bees in Xiao Ke's mouth should be sealed, honeycomb!Honey!What is really lacking? I was still annoyed that there was no sugar just now.

"Xiao Ke, where is the beehive you saw? Take me to see it." There was excitement in his eyes.

Xiao Ke wrinkled Baozi's face, "Master, don't go, the bee is very powerful, it really hurts to be bitten, I have been bitten before."

Yu Wenqing patted his little shoulder, "Don't be afraid, if we don't provoke them, they won't bite us, and I just watched from a distance."

Xiao Ke was suspicious, "Is it really just to look at it from a distance?"

Yu Wenqing nodded, thinking to make plans after reading it.

Seeing that Yu Wenqing was serious about what he said, Xiao Ke obediently took him to see it.

Yu Wenqing was shocked when he saw the hive in his eyes. It was a large hive with a diameter of about one meter.Yu Wenqing was determined to get the hive.

The two walked around and saw a lot of animals, including deer and bison. Neither of them dared to approach them, so they avoided them carefully.

The woods are very quiet, only the soothing sound of birds chirping. When it was almost noon, the two found a place with water and cooked egg and vegetable soup with steamed buns.After eating, Yu Wenqing rested against the tree, while Xiao Ke continued to walk around.

When Xiao Ke came back, he was carrying something in his hand. Yu Wenqing looked familiar, and he stood up, "Xiao Ke, let me see what you have in your hand."

Xiao Ke handed the thing to Yu Wenqing, "Master, this thing smells very strange, so I'll show it to you."

"The smell of scallions is a bit strange." Yu Wenqing said in praise, "Xiao Ke found another edible one."

"Really!" Xiao Ke happily took the green onions to have a look, "It's just that there are not many."

Yu Wenqing looked at the very strong green onion, as if his own arms had grown, "It's okay, this kind of need is not much."

Yu Wenqing took a look and found that there were indeed not many green onions, there were only six sparse ones, and adding the previous one, the total was only seven.

Yu Wenqing asked Xiao Ke to pick three more, and he planned to keep the remaining ones for planting. It would be a pity not to use it for growing vegetables in a place as big as Lenggong, so he never let Xiao Ke sweep away the green vegetables he encountered. Save some seeds.

The two walked around and picked some flowers, which were naturally heat-clearing and detoxifying chrysanthemums, although each one was the size of a face plate.

Yu Wenqing will write down the useful things he encounters on the road, and he can pick them up directly when he needs them.

The two of them were walking, when they suddenly heard a howling sound, which was obviously the sound of an animal, and it was very close to them. The other party saw shock and curiosity in their eyes.

Yu Wenqing didn't know whether to go and have a look, but he was flustered with curiosity. Although he knew that curiosity killed the cat, he couldn't stop it. After discussing it with Xiao Ke, the two finally decided to go and have a look quietly. glance.

The two of them bent their waists, walked as quietly as possible in a sneaky manner, and watched the situation around them very carefully, and then saw such a scene after a while: an animal who didn't know whether it was a wolf or a dog, Almost a meter high, his hind foot was pierced by what looked like a branch protruding from the ground.The animal turned its back to them, and Yu Wenqing wondered what the thing that could pierce the sole of the foot was.

Xiao Ke accidentally moved, and the sound made by the branch made the animal immediately turn its head to look at them vigilantly, and both of their hearts beat violently.

The animal didn't yell at them, but just looked at them vigilantly, with a fierce expression of course.

Yu Wenqing thinks this one is really very smart. After being injured, the first howl did not make any more sound. It should be worried that other animals will be attracted. When encountering them, they did not roar to expel them, but just looked at them vigilantly. They're not friendly, but no expulsion isn't.

Yu Wenqing has always felt that if an animal has spirituality, it cannot simply be viewed as an ordinary animal.So, I don't know what's going on, but he really wants to save this one?Just call it a wolfhound.

This black wolfhound has no stray hairs all over its body, which is very strange to look at.Rural families often keep dogs. Yu Wenqing still remembers that his bitch once gave birth to nine paparazzi, but only one survived. And that dog was just like this one, with a dark body, very strong, and the most special Even the tongue is black. At that time, some people joked that Xiao Hei was the king of nine dogs, because only one of the nine puppies survived, but it was a pity that Xiao Hei was drugged by the dog thief. Stolen, he was sad for a long time.So when he saw this black wolfdog, Yu Wenqing felt very fond of it.

Yu Wenqing walked over slowly, "I just want to help you." He pointed to his hind feet.The wolfhound looked at his hind feet along his fingers, thinking that the other party was going to hurt him, so he bared his teeth.

Xiao Ke was frightened by Yu Wenqing's actions, he didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear of angering the animal, "Master, it's dangerous."

Yu Wenqing ignored Xiao Ke, and said to the wolf dog in a soft voice, "I'm going to help you.", releasing his kindness, watching the blood flow continuously, he couldn't bear it.He didn't know why the wolfhound couldn't get his feet out of such a short thing, but he decided to help.

The wolfdog was in a stalemate with Yu Wenqing, he didn't know whether he believed Yu Wenqing's words, or he was bleeding too much and he couldn't wait anymore, so he turned his head away from looking at Yu Wenqing.

Yu Wenqing reacted quickly, knowing that the other party acquiesced in his help.So he squatted down and took a closer look. It turned out that there were barbs on that branch-like thing, which was really deceptive... Oh, no, it was a deceitful wolf dog.

Yu Wenqing thinks it's better to dig the soil, and hope this thing won't be too long.Exactly as he thought.It only looked more than 20 centimeters below the soil, and there were no barbs, and it didn't matter whether the other party understood or not, "You have to bear it." After speaking, he pulled it out immediately, and the wolf dog immediately wailed.

"Xiao Ke, the medicine for golden sores!" Yu Wenqing didn't let the wolf dog's hind legs touch the ground, took the medicine given by Xiao Ke and sprinkled it on, and tore off the cloth bag he made to wrap the wound on him.

After finishing all this, Yu Wenqing stood up and took a few steps back quickly. At this time, he was a little scared. Fortunately, when he pulled out the thing by himself, the wolf dog didn't open his mouth to give him a bite.

The wolfdog glanced at Yu Wenqing, turned and left.

Xiao Ke saw that the wolf dog was gone, he stabilized his beating heart, and immediately began to scold Yu Wenqing, Xiao Ke was really angry this time, he watched with trepidation, fearing that the wolf dog would bite his master, "Master, You are so out of tune, how can you be so indifferent, what if he bites you, you are saving it, but it is a beast after all, it may not understand human words. You say You don't think too much about what you do."

Seeing that Xiao Ke was so angry, Yu Wenqing could only laugh apologetically. After all, he did not think carefully about what he did, and it was indeed dangerous. He repeatedly promised Xiao Ke that such things would not happen again, and Xiao Ke expressed his forgiveness.

Seeing that Xiao Ke was not angry anymore, Yu Wenqing wiped his sweat in his heart, Xiao Ke was really angry when he was angry, and it was not easy to feel sorry for Liu Yi by the way.

After such an episode, the two of them didn't bother to go shopping anymore, so they went to check both traps, and the result made Xiao Ke smile.It may be because there are really no ferocious beasts on this mountain, and no one came to catch them, so these animals really don't have any precautions. They harvested two rabbits and a chicken. Seeing so much meat, Yu Wenqing immediately said to apologize There is meat to eat tonight, which made Xiao Ke laugh all the way.

I picked some vegetables and fruits along the way, and went back happily.

After washing up, I checked the two rabbits and found a male. The female was kept and the male was killed.As for the ostrich chicken, I killed it at that time, because I was worried that it would attract the attention of others.

After Yu Wenqing resented the fact that he had to go around the door and enter the door after pulling the rabbit and the chicken back, he said that he would not go out tomorrow, and stayed at home to tear down the wall.

He carefully peeled off the rabbit's skin completely, leaving the rabbit's heart and liver, and did not intend to keep other things in the stomach.Cut the rabbit into four pieces and wash them in a wooden basin.

As for the chicken, Yu Wenqing used a large iron pot as a pot, let Xiao Ke boil hot water, and the two of them slowly plucked the chicken feathers together. He didn't ask anyone to throw away the chicken feathers, they were all kept, and maybe they could be used. .Yu Wenqing feels that he is really poor now, and he can't throw away useful things.

Naturally, only the chicken heart, chicken liver, and chicken gizzards were left in the chicken belly, and everything else was thrown away.

The chicken was too big, and Yu Wenqing had to chop it before putting it in the pot for washing.

Seeing so much meat, Yu Wenqing felt a little worried. Although the weather is not too hot, it is not cold, and meat is not easy to store.These meats are eaten as a staple food, and the two of them will eat them for three or four days. What's more, if they eat that way, they will definitely vomit.

Yu Wenqing shook his head inwardly, thinking of eating meat, he couldn't calm down, that rabbit shouldn't be killed.

Ask Xiao Ke to wash the meat, and Yu Wenqing took the basin, and prepared the animal's filth and blood to go to the hunting ground to dig a hole and bury it. There is no place to dispose of waste in the cold palace. Thinking of this, I added more work for myself And sighed in my heart.

The dinner was very rich. Yu Wenqing saved two big chicken wings for tomorrow, so he made stewed chicken with potatoes, chicken soup in a crock pot, and dry-stir-fried rabbit meat. In order not to make the meat too greasy, he fried it again A vegetable, and a chicken popcorn for Xiao Ke's supper. Xiao Ke is easy to get hungry when he grows up.

Although I made a lot of meat dishes, each portion is not big. After all, there are only two people and they can't eat much, so there is a lot of meat left.

While cooking, Yu Wenqing also made some noodles and pasted them on the pot. He likes eating chicken with noodles the most.

After a meal, Xiao Ke started to sigh: It's delicious!too delicious!The rest of the time, I'm eating stuffed up.And Yu Wenqing has always maintained a suitable speed for eating, and he has always adhered to the principle of eating slowly and staying healthy.

After the two of them were full, Xiao Ke looked at the food left on the table and felt it was a pity, "Master, can I give it to Liu Yi?"

Yu Wenqing thought for a while, "These won't taste good when they cool down, so I'll make more chicken popcorn, which is convenient to hold." Yu Wenqing didn't really want to let others know about the hunting ground.

"That's delicious too." Xiao Ke grinned, his master only let him eat one piece, and said he would save it for him to eat when he was hungry at night, his master was so kind, and he was so happy.

Instead of looking at Xiao Ke's excited look, he went to the kitchen to marinate the chicken, and wrapped the dried vegetables in cloth and put them away.

There are four vegetable jars in the kitchen, and he plans to use them all to pickle pickles.Pickles are their main dish in winter.

There are really not many bottles and cans in the kitchen. There are three small crocks, four large jars, and two large water tanks.In addition to this is some tableware.

After more than two hours, put the marinated chicken into the prepared batter, and Xiao Ke also came to help, and the two of them happened to fry it together.

Yu Wenqing fried a lot, one is that this kind of food can be put, and the other is that naturally, it can't be eaten by Liu Yi alone. Lin Kai, who has always been a microphone, also has a share.

Yu Wenqing fried a lot, weighing more than ten catties, and he marinated the rest of the chicken with salt.

Seeing Yu Wenqing fried so much at once, Xiao Ke was a little surprised, but thought that Liu Yi could eat so much, so he didn't think about it.

In fact, the main reason why Yu Wenqing makes fried food is that the cold fried chicken tastes just as good, and the smell is not heavy.Filled them more than half in a food box, and asked Xiao Ke to give it to Lin Kai later.

When it got dark, knowing that Lin Kai was about to change shifts, Xiao Ke handed him the food box, told him to share the food and ran away.

******************

After Lin Kai got off the watch, he took the food box and sent it to Liu Yi. He wanted to open it very much to have a look, because the scent was very clear because it was so close.But because his partner on duty was there, he didn't open it hastily. That person knew the food in the cold palace well, there was no meat, so naturally he didn't like it.

When I came to the place where Liu Yi lived, because I had stayed in the palace for many years, I got mixed up in my own room.When I entered the courtyard and saw the light in Liu Yi's room was on, I knew he had returned.

Liu Yi was not surprised by Lin Kai's arrival, thinking that Xiao Ke had asked him to send news again.But seeing the other party put a food box on the table, he turned around and closed the door.

Liu Yi asked suspiciously, "This is?"

Lin Kai jokingly said, "Your little lover asked me to bring it to you. But this time I also have a share."

Hearing what Lin Kai said about the little lover, Liu Yi blushed, but others couldn't tell.

Two people opened the food box. This food box is not the kind that can only be placed on a plate. It is not layered. The inside is deep and stuffed with fried chicken.

Seeing the golden food, Liu Yi asked, "This is?"

Lin Kai smelled the tempting fragrance, "Taste it."

The two quickly ate a piece.

"Delicious!" Both of their eyes lit up at the same time.

The two took another piece, and while chewing, Lin Kai said, "This should be chicken, right? How did they make it into this shape?" He held a piece of fried chicken and asked suspiciously.

Liu Yi's focus is not on how to fry, but, "How do they have chicken?"

Lin Kai thought for a while, "Forget about that question, let's just eat and don't think about anything else." He knew that it's better not to think too much about some things.

Liu Yi nodded, and he also understood that thinking that Xiao Ke could eat well there, he felt more relieved. These days, he was always worried that Xiao Ke would have a hard time, but he couldn't visit him.I feel more at ease now.

Lin Kai found a clean cloth bag in Liu Yi's room and put his own portion in it, "I'll go find Xiaowen, you can eat slowly by yourself." After finishing speaking, he left in a good mood.

The master and servant here are on the terrace, drinking tea and eating fruit after dinner, so leisurely.

"Master, I now feel that our current life is better than the life in the waiter's courtyard." Xiao Ke sighed to Yu Wenqing while eating.

Yu Wenqing smiled and didn't say anything.Put down the chrysanthemum tea in your hand.

"Xiao Ke, let's rest tomorrow, you can sleep in, I'll go down first." Feeling sleepy, Yu Wenqing went downstairs with a candle.

"Then master, slow down, I will go down later."

Before leaving, Yu Wenqing said: "Don't eat too much fried food, it's easy to get angry."

After a busy day, I fell asleep in bed not long after.Before Yu Wenqing fell asleep, he found that he was getting more and more familiar with the life here, and enjoyed it very much.

**********

The luxuriously furnished room was brightly lit, and a man in black with moiré patterns was sitting at the table drinking to himself.The man was extravagant and handsome, even if he sat there quietly, people dare not look directly at him.

At this time, a man in gray clothes came in with his head down, carrying a food box, "Master, here are the things." He took out the things and put them all on the table.

There was no expression on the man's stern face, he looked at the things on the table and didn't know what he was thinking.If Yu Wenqing was here, he would definitely find out that all the dishes on the table were made by him.

The man picked up the chopsticks to eat, but the person next to him immediately stopped him, "Master, this is what they left after eating!"

The man glanced at him with sharp eyes, and the man immediately lowered his head and dared not say anything else.

Chopsticks picked up a piece of fried chicken and put it into his mouth to chew. His face remained unchanged so that it was hard to see what he was thinking.While he was stretching his chopsticks towards another dish, a man dressed as a palace came in and knelt on the ground.

"Report to Dijun, Concubine Liang sent someone to ask Dijun if she will stay with her tonight."

Hearing this, the man seemed to lose interest immediately, put down his chopsticks, and frowned slightly, "I'm lonely, I'm going to rest in this Yuhua Palace today, please tell Concubine Liang to let her rest earlier , don’t wait alone.”

Yes, this man is Nan Ming, the emperor of the Xiangyun Empire, and also the man with the silver mask who went up the mountain.
