butcher's cook

??The first month passed soon, and people in Xiaoxi Village were already busy. Bai Ning's injury was almost healed, so he planned to do his own business.

?? But before leaving, he still has to go to the mountains.

??He didn't plan to act alone. Now that the spring is planting, many rice tanks in Xiaoxi Village have bottomed out, and they have started to go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables.

??During the period of recuperation, he met a Shuanger named Xu Tao from the next door. Because they are both Shuanger (Xu Tao thinks), they can have a lot of conversations.

??Tao Geer's family is not very rich, so they are also one of the families who go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables.

?? A while ago, Brother Tao said that the wild vegetables in the mountains had begun to sprout, and asked him to go up the mountain to play and pick wild vegetables by the way, and Bai Ning agreed.

??Early in the morning, Brother Tao came to Uncle Liu's house next door, and ran into Miss Xu, "Brother Tao is here, you are here to find Brother Ning! Come in quickly."

"Third Aunt, I'll go in first."

?? "Brother Ning, are you alright? I'm here to find you."

??Xiaobao turned his head unhappily when he saw Brother Tao, "Hmph."

?? It was this ugly brother who abducted his father.

?? Brother Tao couldn't figure it out, "What's wrong with this little treasure? You had a good time with your brother yesterday."

??Bai Ning has already tidied up. He changed into a new piece of clothes today. It was just simple linen clothes that Miss Xu sewed for him. His previous clothes were not suitable for wearing in this village.

"Okay, stop losing your temper." Bai Ning patted the little guy's head, "Let's go for a walk on the mountain, and we'll be back today."

?? Explained to Brother Tao, "Xiaobao knows that we are going up the mountain, so if we don't take him with us, he will lose his temper!"

Brother Tao nodded, "It's okay, children are like this, just recognize people and grow up."

?? Lady Xu said: "Brother Ning, there are several baskets under the window, you take them yourself."

?? "Daddy..."

??Bai Ning nodded Xiaobao's head, "Be good at home and be obedient. I will be back this afternoon. Don't follow behind quietly."

?? As soon as Xiaobao's face collapsed, he was going to follow up quietly after his father left. Now that he was seen through, he immediately lowered his head.

?? Seeing his pitiful appearance, Bai Ning hugged him again and said a few words of comfort.

??Brother Tao walked ahead, and occasionally asked Bai Ning about things outside.He grew up in Xiaoxi Village, and he doesn't have many opportunities to go to the town throughout the year, so he is very curious about the outside world.

?? Bai Ning picked up some and said, the original owner also grew up in a boudoir, and his limited knowledge is nothing more than listening to those maids and wives.

?? So much so that even Tao Geer was dazzled.

??All the way to the back mountain, some wild vegetables have sprouted. Brother Tao is picking them while guiding him what wild vegetables can be picked and what can't be eaten.

?? Bai Ning came to the mountain just to find a ginseng plant.

?? The Liu family helped him a lot, and if he wanted to repay them, he had to start with Ms. Xu.He has been using supernatural powers to help Ms. Xu recuperate. In order to avoid people's discovery, he did not do it obviously, so the effect is slow.

?? He still has his own things to do, so it is impossible to live in Liu's house forever.Not to mention other things, those who are not relatives or old friends are also arousing gossip.

??As soon as Bai Ning entered the forest, he involuntarily absorbed the wood spirits in the mountain. Although there were few wood spirits here, they were pure and lacked the violent aura of the last days.

?? They walked all the way, but Bai Ning didn't find any sign of ginseng. It's true. If ginseng is so easy to find, then the people in Xiaoxi Village don't have to rely on farming for a living. They just dig ginseng one by one. never mind.

?? He tried to mobilize his abilities to find them, and found several places with strong vitality.

?? "Brother Tao, I want to take a look here."

Brother Tao looked at the direction Bai Ning was pointing at, and was a little worried, "Brother Ning, this side is close to Anshan, so it's not safe."

?? "I won't go far, it's fine."

??Brother Tao thought that Uncle Liu had been hunting here all year round, so there should be nothing wrong with him, so he agreed.

"Then be careful, if something is wrong, run out quickly, forget it, let's go together."

??Bai Ning hurriedly stopped the person, "No need, I'll just take a look, I won't go in too much."

??"Oh well!"

??Bai Ning kept walking for about ten minutes, and finally saw the first place full of life.

??It was an old pile halfway up the mountain, and half of it was embedded in the soil. The tree was already very old before it died. The diameter seemed to be nearly one meter, and the appearance looked normal. There was nothing strange about it. place.

?? He felt that the strong vitality in the end escaped from it.

??Bai Ning was sure that something was wrong here. He climbed up carefully and found that the stump was hollow near the mountain. Inside were several crimson Ganoderma lucidums, the largest of which was as big as two palms.

?? Carefully picked off the Ganoderma lucidum, put it in the basket, and covered it with some wild vegetables.

?? He didn't find ginseng, and he still didn't give up. At this moment, Brother Tao's voice came over.

?? "Brother Ning, Brother Ning..." Xu Tao was still a little worried after Bai Ning left, so he followed him, thinking that he would disappear in the blink of an eye anyway.

??Bai Ning quickly replied, "I'm here."

??Brother Tao appeared soon, his voice was still panting, "Why are you running so fast, you disappeared in the blink of an eye. I'm so anxious."

?? Bai Ning said embarrassingly, "I'm just walking this way, maybe I went a little further out of curiosity."

?? Seeing that Bai Ning was fine, Brother Tao breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, okay, it's good that you're okay, let's go quickly, I also picked a basket of wild vegetables, I'll see how you pick them, do you want me to Give you some points?."

?? As he spoke, he glanced at Bai Ning's basket, and said in surprise, "You've already picked so many, where did you pick them?"

?? "On this side, there are more there, do you want to pick some more." Bai Ning pointed to a direction, which was spawned by him with his ability just now. If you find it, you can only cover it with wild vegetables.

?? Brother Tao is a little excited. At this time, the wild vegetables are the most tender, and there is no bitterness in the taste. If you mix the noodles with a basket, you can steam a pot, which is enough for the whole family to eat.

?? Soon, Brother Tao made up his mind and walked over with the basket, "That's fine, just wait for me."

??The two picked a basket full of wild vegetables. When they returned, Bai Ning also found a pheasant. He caught it with his supernatural power and brought it home.

"Daddy." Xiaobao said that he was the first to find out that Bai Ning had come back. Since Bai Ning left, he didn't enjoy eating and playing anymore, so he sat at the door and waited for Daddy to come back.

?? Seeing Xiao Bao jumping into Bai Ning's arms like a small balloon, Ms. Xu sighed, "You father and son have such a good relationship."

?? "Of course Daddy and Xiaobao are fine." Seeing Daddy again, Xiaobao regained his vitality, and after hearing what Miss Xu said, he admitted it without any guilt.

?? "Okay, your father and son have a good relationship."

?? "Brother Ning, you actually picked so many? How come there is still a chicken?" Lady Xu was surprised when she saw him come back with a basket full of wild vegetables. The skin is tender and fleshy, not like doing rough work.

"I picked it in Shang'an Mountain, and I found a small piece that grew very well, so I picked it back." Bai Ning put the chicken aside, "I picked the chicken when I came back. Once you get out of the bushes, you can't get out."

??Liu Laosan also came out when he heard the rooster crowing, "This chicken is still a little fat, it must weigh more than three or four catties, Brother Ning is really lucky." He has been hunting for so many years, and he has never encountered such a fat chicken a few times pheasant.

?? Seeing the chicken, Xiao Bao struggled to come down again, "Chicken Goo Goo, Xiao Bao wants to see Chicken Goo Goo..."

"Be careful, this pheasant has a sharp beak, if it is pecked, it will hurt for several days, Xiaobao is so thin and tender, it will turn green." Liu Laosan reminded.

?? Hearing this, Xiao Bao thought of those ferocious chickens in the past. They were bigger than these, they could hunch him, and they could breathe fire, so he asked, "Grandpa Liu, can it breathe fire?"

?? Hearing this, everyone laughed, "How can it breathe fire? If it can breathe fire, wouldn't it be a god chicken?"

?? Bai Ning put away a few ganoderma lucidum, and planned to sell them in the county sometime, to see if he could buy a ginseng. Although he had the memory of the original owner, he didn't know the price here.

??I have to go to the county to see everything, and help the original owner find his family.

??The fate of the original owner is really not good. The original owner's mother is from Fuyun County, Quzhou Prefecture. He had already come to the front, but was killed. It is a pity that people can't help but sigh .

?? In his memory, there is really not much news about the relatives of the original owner's mother, and the stories he told before are not all wrong. At least their mother is from this side. It doesn't matter if you're not married.

?? At that time, Miss Xu was very enthusiastic and asked him what he knew, and said that she would find relatives for him.At that time, he didn't dare to tell the whole story, and he said roughly that even his mother's last name was wrong.

??Her mother was originally surnamed Qi, called Qi Dani. She was the eldest in the family, and there was a younger sister who was one year younger than her. When she was eight years old, the family gave birth to a younger brother. It was the drought in the hometown that year, and the family did not have enough food. , sold himself for two taels of silver, and lost his freedom ever since.Then he followed Ren Yazi to the capital, where he was bought by a merchant and made a maid for his young lady.

??The original owner asked his brother about his mother when he was a child, and the elder brother told the original owner to know. There are only so many clues.

?? There is only one address, Gaoqiao, Fuyun County.Bai Ning suspects that Fuyun is Fuyun County, and Gaoqiao should be a place, not even a village.Because she asked Miss Xu, there is no place called Takahashi nearby.

?? Bai Ning killed the pheasant and added some Ganoderma lucidum into it. Ganoderma lucidum has the effect of invigorating Qi, and it is also useful for Xu Niangzi.After simmering slowly all afternoon, a pot of chicken soup was boiled with tender wild vegetables.The wood-type supernatural power has a miraculous effect on nourishing the body and rejuvenating the body, and the plants that are spawned will also have some of these characteristics, which is especially good for the healthy body of mistresses.

?? "Sister-in-law, come and have a bowl of soup. I boiled this chicken soup over a slow fire. It will definitely make you feel better after eating."

?? Lady Xu took a sip, frowned in surprise, and took another sip, "Brother Ning, what's wrong with your chicken soup family, why did I taste like Ganoderma lucidum."

??The chicken soup is delicious, Liu Dashan drank a bowl, smacked his lips, and laughed when he heard his mother's words, "Mother, you have an illusion, where does our house have Ganoderma lucidum?"

??Liu Laosan also didn't eat it, "Ganoderma lucidum is so delicate, you probably haven't seen it before, and it tastes like Ganoderma lucidum."

??Xu Niangzi said firmly, "Impossible, I have eaten Ganoderma lucidum, and it tastes like this."

??Bai Ning didn't know that there were still people who knew what to eat. He put very little in it, and could hardly eat it. Unexpectedly, Lady Xu actually tasted it in one bite.

?? "Well, I went up the mountain and picked up a Ganoderma lucidum. Thinking that my sister-in-law is not in good health, I put it in the stew, so I can give her a tonic."

"What?" Father Liu and his son didn't expect to have Ganoderma lucidum, so they were surprised.
