Chapter 1146 Famine and Natural Disaster 306

Under the cover of the dense leaves, snakes of different sizes and colors were wrapped around the tree trunks.

Among them were two plump giant pythons with brightly colored flowers that were highly venomous at first glance. There were two small bags on their heads, and the rest could not be seen clearly.

"Haven't you finished reading yet?" Mingyi asked loudly, lying on the tree.

"I've finished reading." He returned the same way and waved to her in the tree, "Come down, let's go play somewhere else."

Mingyi quickly got down from the tree without pausing for a second; she ran to Zhou Ting and asked him, "Have you seen the snake?"

"I saw it, a lot."

As soon as Zhou Ting finished speaking, Mingyi's expression changed and she asked doubtfully: "Are there really many snakes?"

"Well, there is a big tree down there, and there are many snakes hanging on the tree; they are big and small and colorful."

Mingyi: I would really like to thank you.

".Then what?"

"Then, there is a snake fruit tree below. This kind of tree is only recorded in classical books; the snake fruit is fatal to snakes. It is also very useful for the human body and can maintain the muscles and Dantian."

Mingyi's eyes glazed over, "You want it?"

"I definitely want it, but I can't get it now; I have to bring tools. Snakes are afraid of sulfur and sulfur wine. Go back and be ready to come back in ten days and a half."

"Then the snake fruit hasn't been eaten yet?" In ten and a half months, there will be more snakes by then, right?

Zhou Ting smiled softly and said: "The snake fruit is not ripe yet, and now it only emits a faint fragrance; this fragrance is very attractive to snakes, and they will arrive in advance and wait for the fruit to mature before swallowing it. The unripe snake fruit is not delicious, and they You’re not stupid, and there will be more and more snakes when the time comes; and snakes are not kind, and when it comes time to fight for them, they will eat each other and treat each other as enemies to snatch the snake fruits.”

Mingyi seems to understand, but after all, he is not from this world, and there are still gaps in the culture of the other world. No matter how many books he reads, he cannot say that he will have a thorough understanding of this world.

"Bring more people here and prepare more sulfur. If that doesn't work, come and sprinkle the sulfur on the trees in advance. As long as it doesn't rain heavily, you should be able to avoid snake entanglement in advance."

"I think so too. We'll see when the time comes; the people under me know kung fu and won't be afraid."

Mingyi felt relieved and had no idea about snake fruit. There were snakes on the trees. Who knew if those fruits had been licked by snakes in advance? She couldn't eat them just thinking about it. She also admired Zhou Ting, who had witnessed swarms of them. When a snake is entrenched in a tree, you can still be tempted to get snake fruit back to eat.

She quickly pulled Zhou Ting away. If she thought about it further, she would dislike Zhou Ting.

Zhou Ting seemed to notice her dislike of snakes, so he just smiled and followed her along the foot of the mountain. He quickly re-entered the mountain col, went around the road looking for things, and chatted while walking.

They searched for most of the day, but when they couldn't find anything, they went back to join the elite soldiers.

After arriving at the ground, they found that the ground had been dug and filled with new soil, and the elite soldiers were sitting on the ground to rest; until the elite captain discovered the arrival of Prince Zhou and Cheng Mingyi, he quickly stood up and bowed.

"I have met the prince, Mrs. Cheng."

Only then did the elite soldiers realize that the two men had returned without knowing when, and they all stood up and lined up to pay tribute.

"My subordinates pay their respects to the Crown Prince, Mrs. Cheng."

"Did you finish digging?" Zhou Ting asked.

The captain of the elite soldier replied seriously, "Hui Shizi, I have finished digging out the ones that are over fifty years old, and there are still some that are younger than that."

"You did a good job. The others haven't come back yet?" There were only twenty-one elite soldiers in front of him, including the elite captain.

“They never came back.”

Zhou Ting glanced at everyone present, glanced around, and said: "Go and find them, see where they have gone, how come they haven't come back yet."

"Here, my subordinates and others will go immediately." The elite captain bowed again and led his elite soldiers to look for the person together. For the sake of safety, they divided into two teams and started searching in two directions.

Zhou Ting took a sack that the elite soldiers had not taken away and spread it on the ground. He took off his coat and spread it on the sack before waving to Mingyi.

"Yiyi, come and sit down, let's take a rest."

Mingyi nodded and walked over, sitting on the clean clothes with him. After running for a long time, she was indeed a little tired, especially her feet, but her internal strength had increased slightly.

Zhou Ting took out a handkerchief from his arms and looked at her with a smile.

"Are you hungry? I brought some dried fruits and ate them on my bed. I'll have some when I get down the mountain."

"When did you pack the dried fruits? Why didn't I know?" She looked at the area on the other person's chest. She had never seen anything put there before.

Faced with her curious question, Zhou Ting laughed, leaned in front of her and whispered: "I brought it specially for you. I don't know if I don't do it."

Mingyi's eyes flashed and she didn't answer; instead, she opened the handkerchief he handed over and found a dozen pieces of baked dried apricots inside. He twisted a piece and ate it, then put another piece to his mouth.

"You eat too."

The smile in Zhou Ting's eyes became softer and softer, with a touch of doting, he opened his mouth and ate it; the sweet and sour taste seemed to spread into his heart, and he seemed to casually tease: "Thank you Yiyi, it's delicious, sour Sweet and delicious.”

"Who did Kyoko do it?"

"The chef in the house makes it, because many apricots grown in the northwest every year are not very tasty; they are so sour that they are difficult to sell, so many people make the fruits as snacks for their children. The chef in the house makes the dried fruits himself. , because he works in the house, he will give half of his son to his mother and concubine. "

Mingyi still didn't understand why she didn't eat dried apricots after living in the palace for so long. It turned out that they were at the princess's place.

Dried apricots are not a very expensive food, so it is normal that the princess would not specially take them out to entertain guests.

"It's very good. It should be easy to sell if you sell it outside."

"The chef doesn't cook much, and my concubine doesn't like sour food. I put dried apricots in the warehouse and occasionally think of them, and I will give them to people to eat and play with. If you like them, I will ask my concubine to come over and give them to you as snacks. I remember There are not only dried fruits in the concubine’s warehouse, but also candied fruits made by the chef. The taste is different from what is sold outside, and you have also tasted it. "

Mingyi nodded repeatedly, "Thank you in advance, Chaosheng."

"I'll have someone bring it to you when you get back." Zhou Ting agreed with a smile, watching Mingyi eating bite after bite; her pink lips opened and closed, her face was delicate, and her facial features seemed a little more refined.

Mingyi ate happily and quickly finished the dried apricots, having something to fill her hungry belly.

Zhou Ting sat side by side with her. At this moment, his smile was a little apologetic, "Thank you for your hard work, Yiyi."

"What's the hard work?"

Mingyi looked back blankly, completely confused.

"Thank you for taking me into the mountains to find treasures. There are still so many treasures."

"Oh." If you say it's hard, then it's hard.

Mingyi said she accepted everything.

"When I get back to the city, I'll ask Buwei to send you another roasted whole lamb, so you can have a meal at night. If there's anything else you want to eat, I'll ask Buwei to send it over too." Seeing that she didn't even think about it. Taking the hard work into consideration, Zhou Ting's heart felt sour for some unknown reason.
