The Sweet Little Fulang

The salty long beans were mixed with rice, and it was the first time that Lu Gu knew that long beans could be so delicious, and he even ate half a bowl of dry rice.

Shen Yan was even more stuffed, clutching her stomach and saying it was uncomfortable, Wei Lanxiang poked her forehead and scolded her with a smile, why are you so greedy, you eat yourself like this, don't do it at night After eating, you will be hungry for a meal, and you will have a long memory.

Shen Yan was too overwhelmed to squat down to wash the dishes, so Lu Gu put away the dishes and went to wash without saying a word.He was squatting in the kitchen, and he could still hear Shen Yan yelling in the main room, so Wei Lanxiang asked her to get up and walk.

"This good boy, even if he is called good, he is not good." Ji Qiuyue grabbed the puppy by the back of the neck and pulled it out from the vegetable field in the front yard. The puppy chewed up several leaves of autumn vegetables. Change to another one.

The vegetables grown by the country people are expensive, and their family is better off, so there is no shortage of this kind of food, otherwise the pup's fat buttocks will suffer.

Lu Gu heard the movement and looked out of the kitchen. Ji Qiuyue took the puppy out and knocked on its forehead with her fingers, as a small punishment, and also to make it a memory, remembering that the food should not be spoiled casually.

The pup was bumped and barked in pain. It is still young, unlike big dogs who dare not look at people or make noise when they make mistakes. Lu Gu was not worried at all when he saw this. He was so fat that he fell and bumped. It's all right, the skin is strong enough to withstand beatings, and Ji Qiuyue didn't hit her hard enough.

Shen Xuanqing came out of the woodshed with a pile of furs in his arms, and the autumn vegetables that the puppies had been scurrying about in the vegetable field were there. He glanced at it and said, "It's better to let the big ash out and teach it, so as not to waste things when you are too busy to take care of it. .”

Ji Qiuyue put the pup on the ground, nodded and replied, "That's right, we didn't watch over the meal just now, and told it to play by itself."

Seeing Shen Xuanqing hugging the fur, she asked again: "Why do you think of cleaning this up?"

"I'm free in these two days. It's time to visit Master and pick some good ones for him." Shen Xuanqing squatted down too lazy to pick the furs on the pile of firewood.

"It's time to go." As Ji Qiuyue said, she heard Shen Yaoqing calling her in the room, saying that she couldn't find the bunt to carry the big bag, so she hurried into the room to help find it.

When Lu Gu came out of the kitchen after washing the dishes, the pup was chasing after him, trying to bite his trousers, he was really a monkey.

After selling the rice yesterday, there is no other work at home. The busy autumn harvest is over. Now I don’t have to work anymore after eating, and I can take a rest.

As soon as Lu Gu came out and saw Shen Xuanqing picking up fur in front of the woodpile, he hesitated, it was okay when there was work to do, even if he was with Shen Xuanqing, he was busy, but the two of them were more comfortable together, there was nothing to do at this time , he didn't dare to go to Shen Xuanqing, he turned his footsteps, and went to the room to get needles and threads to make, and he had to make the sachet these days.

Shen Xuanqing made the pile of fur mostly hare fur. The rabbits killed by the family peeled off the fur and didn't throw it away. They tanned it and kept it. It doesn't matter whether they sell it later or make boots and leather jackets for winter.

As for the rabbits with meat on their skins that were sold in the town, it’s not that he never thought of selling the skins and meat separately, so that he could earn more money. It's all lean meat, and its price is not as good as pork. It's even lighter if you peel it and dig out the internal organs. If you can't sell it all in a day, it will attract flies. The people in the town are more particular. The town is okay, and it's killing and selling now, but it's not like that.

There are also people who have a lot of things to pick and choose. He has sold it twice and finds it troublesome, so he will not kill it. Anyway, even the fur will be expensive to sell, so he will not lose money.

She kept three ugly furs, Shen Xuanqing tied up the rest and took them to the old Orion to make a fur for the winter.

The sun was shining outside, Lu Gu was sitting under the eaves embroidering sachets, and the puppies were playing in front of him, Shen Yan felt less uncomfortable after walking around for a while, and leaned over to look at the things Lu Gu embroidered.

Shen Xuanqing went to the low house where the grain was stored and brought out a sack of new rice, put it on the cart, and took a bamboo basket to hold hazelnuts and chestnuts, and filled a basket.

The old Orion loves to eat wild tea in the mountains. He took a bag sewn with cloth and poured it into a bag, and kept some for his family. This kind of thing can be found in the mountains, and he can pick it up when he wants to drink it when he returns home.

The goji berries were also packed, and even a lot of wild bath beads, which he picked with Lu Gu before going down the mountain, and brought back a lot, wild bath beads can be stored for a long time as long as they don't get wet.

Wei Lanxiang saw him put everything on the cart, came over to look at it and said, "Autumn vegetables are crispy these days, dig some and bring them to your wife to try."

Autumn vegetables grow as high as someone’s calf, green and tender, and they are delicious when fried and eaten with cold salad. Almost every family in the countryside grows this kind of food. It can be dried or pickled and eaten in winter. Their front yard has a large vegetable field, and many plants have been planted. Well, even the land behind the house is plowed and planted, so there is no need to worry about food.

Wei Lanxiang said, and went to dig autumn vegetables by herself, and said while digging: "This year is not good, it is cold, and next summer, we will plant some hanging melons and long beans, and then I will give it to your master They take."

"Well, it will be more variety next year." Shen Xuanqing agreed, and took the bag to pour chadou again.

Before winter wheat was planted on the dry land, Qiuchaidou had only two acres, so Shen Yaoqing and the three took Shen Yan back.

Soak chai beans in advance, put them in when cooking rice soup, and boil them together with white rice. The beans are fragrant and sticky, and they taste good.

When he and Wei Lanxiang put away a big load of autumn vegetables, the cart was almost full. I ate early today, and it was only noon now. Shen Xuanqing looked at the sky and said, "Now that it's ready, let's go after the sun. The big ones will go."

Wei Lanxiang nodded, she glanced at Lu Gu, and asked, "Are you alone or?"

Shen Xuanqing also looked over, met the eyes of Lu Gu who raised his head, and said, "Let's go, and see Master and Mistress."

"That's okay, the road is far away, it's good to have a companion, come back tomorrow night, I'll leave a meal for you two." Wei Lanxiang said while washing her hands.

When Lu Gu heard that he would not be back until tomorrow, and he had never met Shen Xuanqing's master and wife, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Now Shen Yan couldn't hold on anymore, so he brought an embroidery frame and asked him to teach embroidery, and got busy talking I slowly forgot about my anxiety.

After noon, the sun was not so bright, so he packed up and went out with Shen Xuanqing.

"Master and the others live in Jixing Town. After passing Fenggu Town, it is about [-] miles away, which is farther away." Shen Xuanqing said while pulling the cart.

Lu Gu nodded. It was indeed far away. They Qingxi Village was more than ten miles away from Fenggu Town, and they arrived in two or three quarters of an hour.Jixing Town is on the other side of Fenggu Town, he has only heard of it.

Knowing that he had never traveled far, Shen Xuanqing comforted him again: "It's not urgent, there's no need to hurry, if you're tired, take a rest halfway, and you'll arrive soon after walking."

"Yeah." Lu Gu agreed in a low voice. Apart from being a little apprehensive about meeting strangers, the farthest places he has been to are Fenggu Town in the south and Niujiazhuang in the west. He is still a little curious about Jixing Town in the south. I don't know what the scene is like there.

-

Lu Gu was very familiar with the road to Fenggu Town. He was used to walking on mountain roads. This time, only Shen Xuanqing was pulling the cart. He didn't carry anything, walked slowly, and took a rest on the way, so he didn't feel tired.

To pass through the town, Shen Xuanqing stopped and asked Lu Gu to watch the car at the door when passing by the cloth village. He went in and pulled some cloth for his wife to take.The old Orion has furs, and his mistress is kind to him, so he has to make new clothes for the old lady.

Lu Gu waited outside the door, picked up the bamboo tube and drank a couple of sips of water, Shen Xuanqing came out after buying the cloth, pulled up the cart and walked forward again.

Coming out to the south of Fenggu Town, Lu Gu looked carefully and curiously at the places he passed. He had never been here before, and he felt strange.

The two of them had to talk on the way. When they passed the village, Shen Xuanqing also told him the name of the place and the village, and said that although Jixing Town was far away from them, it was close to Yuqingfu City.

The town is big enough and lively enough for Lu Gu, but now he can't even think of a more prosperous prefecture.

Walking and resting along the way, after entering Changxing Street in Jixing Town, there were more and more people, Lu Gu approached Shen Xuanqing and the scooter, he was not familiar with the place, so he was inevitably nervous when he came here for the first time, and he was a little afraid of being lost up.

The restaurants and restaurants on the street are bustling, all kinds of shops are open, and the mellow oily smell is wafting from the oil mill, especially the sesame oil.

"I went back and made some sesame oil. It will be more fragrant when I steam the custard." Shen Xuanqing turned her head and said to Lu Gu.

Lu Gu carefully nodded his head and hummed, because a few people came across, and he got closer to Shen Xuanqing.

I didn't notice it before, but now Shen Xuanqing saw it, and realized that he was timid, and his eyes were stained with a smile before he knew it, and he let Lu Gu approach without saying a word.

In front of a tavern in front of the door was a sign of wine, and some people were sitting inside. After Shen Xuanqing said "here", they stopped in front of the tavern.

Xiaoer was about to come out to greet him, when he saw that it was Shen Xuanqing, he smiled courteously: "So it's Brother Shen, I'll call the shopkeeper."

Yang Xian quickly came out from inside, Shen Xuanqing couldn't pull the cart to stop in front of the tavern, otherwise it would block the business, asked the old Orion if he was at home, and pulled up the cart and headed towards the entrance of the alley.

"This is the new husband?" Yang Xian was pushing the cart on the other side. He was fairly handsome, with a beard, wearing a long gown and a hat, and he was friendly. He looked like a businessman.

"His name is Lu Gu, and this is Brother Yang Xian." After Shen Xuanqing finished speaking, Lu Gu called out in a low voice, timidity is timidity, and there is still a proper courtesy.

Yang Xian nodded with a smile, he is a man, it is not easy to talk to Shuang'er, he still asks Shen Xuanqing, as for the doubts about the name Lu Gu, let's ask in private.

After entering the rather spacious alley, we arrived four or five houses ahead. The slightly red-cheeked old Yang Tou was sitting on the smoking rod at the door, taking out a few dates from his arms to amuse his grandchildren.

"Father, let's see who's here." Yang Xian shouted before he arrived.

"Master." Shen Xuanqing also shouted.

Seeing his apprentice, Lao Yang felt happy all of a sudden, stopped smoking, tapped on the wall, wrapped the cigarette bag around his waist, and stood up with a smile on his face.

Shen Xuanqing pulled the cart to the front and stopped, and called Master again.

Old Yangtou was about to talk to his apprentice, when he saw Lu Gu looking at him timidly, he also called out Master, his voice was a little bit softer, but he was even happier, the old man's face was full of wrinkles, this is his apprentice Fu Lang.

"Master, this is Lu Gu." Shen Xuanqing said before he spoke.

Old Yangtou was always getting old, but he was not slow to react, the smile on his face didn't change, he said cheerfully: "It's millet, your mother is inside, just steamed pumpkin and dates, go in and eat."
