The Sweet Little Fulang

As before, when they came back, Lu Gu and Shen Xuanqing sat and rested, and Ji Qiuyue was busy cooking, and Wei Lanxiang brought them something to eat first.

Wei Lanxiang brought out a small bamboo plaque. There were dried red dates, persimmons, and peanuts. She put the small bamboo plaque down for the two of them to eat, and said to Lu Gu: "In addition to the ones grown by our family, there are also mountain persimmons you picked. , some sun-dried persimmons, some cut and sun-dried persimmons, they are sweet."

"Taste first, don't eat too much, save your stomach for eating." She specially reminded the two little ones that eating too much persimmons would not be easy to digest.

Last time Lu Gu came back and picked a lot of hard mountain persimmons, as well as those at home. Dried persimmons can last for a long time. In winter, there are sweet snacks to eat, which are quite tough and chewy.

While talking, Shen Yan carried a basket of grass and entered the door. She heard the dog barking when she was plucking the grass behind the house, and she knew that Lu Gu and the others had returned. As soon as she entered the door, her almond eyes slightly curved, and she shouted with a smile: "Second brother, brother Guzi , you are back."

Shen Xuanqing agreed, and when Lu Gu saw her coming, he wanted to touch the dried persimmon with his dirty hands, so he quickly handed it to her mouth.Shen Yan was not polite to him, she opened her mouth and bit it, smiled and started to chew, then put down the bamboo basket.

"Girls, you have to wash your hands." Wei Lanxiang scolded her, but the smile on her face didn't diminish, and she couldn't hear the meaning of reprimand.

Shen Yan scooped up a gourd of water and knelt down to wash his hands, saw the dried fish on the cart and said, "Brother Guzi, you two have dried so much dried fish."

Lu Gu peeled a peanut, heard the words and replied: "Well, save what we have for winter."

In the past two years, the Shen family had a hard time in winter. Shen Yan was young and also afraid of the cold and hunger. Her almond eyes widened when she heard this, and she was very happy when she realized that she would not have to starve in winter. She nodded repeatedly and said: " Alright, let’s save it for winter, and if we want to eat fish tomorrow, we’ll take branches and fish in the river, save all of these, I just saw Zhu Zi and the others fishing in the river.”

Shen Xuanqing looked at her younger sister's expression, and knew that she was hungry two years ago. At that time, the family's rations were low. Even if he and Shen Yaoqing sometimes saved a few mouthfuls for the youngest Shen Yan, it was still not enough. Suddenly, he couldn't help but feel guilty, and secretly sighed in his heart. Fortunately, this year, he can eat enough and wear warm clothes, and his family members don't have to suffer.

The same goes for Lu Gu, don't have to suffer any more.

He turned his head to look beside him, and put the peeled peanuts into Lu Gu's hands. Even if he hadn't asked Lu Gu, he knew that life in Du Hehua's hands must be bad. After a few mouthfuls of hot rice, Lu Gu will not be sure.

"Shen Yan, come in and get a bowl of fried peppers." Ji Qiuyue yelled from the kitchen, she was too busy chopping vegetables, so she asked Shen Yan to help and light the fire.

Shen Yan ate another piece of dried persimmon before running in. Ji Qiuyue handed her the bowl and said, "Pick up some more meat, it will taste better."

After resting for a while, Shen Xuanqing got up and unloaded things on the cart, Lu Gu and Wei Lanxiang also helped to move.

The prey this time did not seem to be much, just seven or eight live pheasants and hares, but in the big bamboo basket Shen Xuanqing often carried, there were 25 pieces of fox fur, six pieces of unsightly miscellaneous fur fox fur, and the rest Among the nineteen good skins, there are two silver fox skins, which are more valuable than the red ones.

To beat these fox furs, he ran many places in the mountains. Not to mention the exhaustion, a pair of old shoes were worn out and couldn't be mended easily. Those shoes were indeed old enough, so they were simply thrown away.

Wei Lanxiang kept smacking the silver fox fur, and said to Lu Gu, "I've heard people say that those lords and wives in Fucheng love to wear this silver fox fur, no matter how expensive it is, they can afford it."

Shen Xuanqing thought about the shoes, and asked, "Mom, I broke a pair of shoes, do you still have them at home?"

"Yes, I made you two pairs of thick ones, one pair of singles, and another pair that is holding the soles of your shoes, enough for you to wear." Wei Lanxiang looked at Shen Xuanqing's feet as she spoke, and wanted to mend them if she could. repair.

Shen Xuanqing knew what she was thinking, and said: "I threw away those pairs because they were too old. The soles of the shoes were thin. I walked on mountain roads, and the uppers were mended once. This time, the hole was so big that I couldn't cover the toes and stuck out. , if it wasn’t that it was not far from the courtyard when it was punctured, the aisle would be difficult to walk.”

When Wei Lanxiang heard this, she nodded and said, "It's really not easy to mend, just throw it away, and mother will make you a few more new pairs."

After Wei Lanxiang had seen it, Shen Xuanqing stuffed the fox fur back into the big bamboo basket and took it down. He will sell it in Fucheng another day. The price is higher than in Fenggu Town. The goji berry and wild bath beads have not been brought down, and he will go to the town to sell it early tomorrow morning. , Lu Gu brought out two handfuls of wild bath beads to keep at home, and they would last for a while, so Wei Lanxiang and the others didn't have to go up the mountain to look for them.

In the kitchen, Ji Qiuyue stir-fried vegetables, poured them into the wok with a pricking sound, stir-fried them and cooked them quickly, the fried vegetables were different from boiled in water, they were fragrant.

In addition to a bowl of fried autumn vegetables, because Shen Xuanqing loves eggs, Ji Qiuyue also scrambled eggs for the two of them, and a bowl of oily and spicy fried peppers. Shen Xuanqing broke off a steamed bun and wiped it clean.

The white flour steamed buns were served to them. They were white, soft and delicious. The steamed buns were stained bright yellow with egg residues and oil from the bottom of the plate. Shen Xuanqing didn't eat them, so she handed them to Lu Gu.

The oil seeps into the steamed buns, and the oil is salty and delicious, and there is a little egg, not to mention how fragrant it is.

There were still a lot of people in the morning set, and there were few carts to pull things today, so Shen Xuanqing was obviously very relaxed.

Small wild animals like pheasants and rabbits are very easy to sell, and the wild bath beads are also sold relatively quickly. When there are few people in the back, there are two pheasants and one rabbit left. Shen Xuanqing guessed that the medical center opened, so she pushed the board The car took Lu Gu to the rice shop first.

I want to ask the owner of the rice shop if he wants wild game, and if he wants it, I can sell it to him. Then I can go to the medical center and sell the goji berries, so I can go home and rest without having to stand and wait for the buyer.

There were also some wild bath beads left, Shen Xuanqing yelled as she pushed the cart forward: "Wild bath beads, let's take a look at the big wild bath beads, it costs five pennies, it's cheap."

After shouting, someone really told them to stop, even if they only bought three coins, the three copper coins would still be credited.

When walking forward, Lu Gu also yelled loudly, his eyebrows were crooked, although his voice was a little softer, but he was good-looking, now that he has gained some meat, his complexion has also improved, and his smile is even different from before Same, except for a bit of timidity, the kind of humble and cowering appearance is no longer there.

In addition to rice, the rice shop also buys all kinds of dried beans, miscellaneous grains and goji berries, but Shen Xuanqing didn't open the lid of the basket of goji berries. It's two pennies, so it's not worth selling here, so I just showed the wild things to the owner of the rice shop.

There were only three pheasants and rabbits in total, and the owner of the rice shop bought them together with the owner of the grocery store next door, and even bought some of Lu Gu's wild bath beads.

Before leaving, Shen Xuanqing also bought some red beans and yellow rice. The family only grows chai beans, and I also use red beans to make porridge, and then add some yellow rice into it to make mixed rice porridge. The pheasant he sells is cheaper for the owner of the rice shop. , so when he bought red beans and yellow rice, the owner of the rice shop scooped up some more for him.

After the medical center sold the goji berries, Lu Gu put the money bag into his pocket, and as soon as he came out, he heard Shen Xuanqing say to buy Mrs. Tang. His eyes lit up, and he was full of anticipation and joy. He also wanted to have Mrs. Tang. .
