Abandoned peasant woman in the prosperous world

Chapter 93: Suicide (3)
Because of Si Luo, the amount of this meal was twice as large as usual, and Qin Yuyao cooked two more eggs, and after the meal was ready, he served it to Si Luo together with the bowl of thick rice porridge.

It was just that he didn't know about Si Luo's existence before, but now that he knew about it, Qin Yuyao would definitely not want to treat him badly.Not only that he has a mission to protect her and Bao'er, but also because he once taught her martial arts.A teacher for one day, a teacher for life, as long as Si Luo doesn't do anything to hurt her, she will respect him for the rest of her life.

Si Luo jumped off the big willow tree, took the porridge bowl from Qin Yuyao's hand, and silently took the two boiled eggs, feeling a little turbulent in his heart.No one has ever treated him so carefully, not only cooking delicious food for him, but also cooking eggs for him.

The porridge is very thick, and one bowl will fill up more than half.Si Luo ate the porridge silently, handed the porridge bowl back to Qin Yuyao, but put two warm eggs into his arms, and jumped back onto the tree without saying a word.There was warmth in his stomach and warmth in his arms. I don't know when it started, but Si Luo no longer felt that this was a worthless chore.

Qin Yuyao didn't care too much, maybe he didn't want to eat right now, but wanted to wait until he was hungry?Then he took the porridge bowl, raised his head and said, "Master, I will go into the mountains to pick things in a while, please look at Bao'er."

Si Luo nodded expressionlessly.Following Qin Yuyao's gaze, Qin Yuyao entered the courtyard, and soon came out with a small basket on her back, heading towards the foot of Tianzhu Mountain.He silently looked away, and turned to look at Bao'er who was having fun with the little fox in the yard.This is the blood of the master, so there must be no mistakes.

Carrying a small basket on her back, Qin Yuyao climbed up Tianzhu Mountain all the way.

It was hot in summer, and Qin Yuyao drank a lot of water before going out, but soon after entering the mountain, she felt burning and thirsty.Enduring these discomforts, she walked around the mountain carefully and patiently.Today I plan to pick some Chinese prickly ash and star anise to go back. Firstly, I will eat it for daily use, and secondly, if I have more, I can sell it for money.

Although the family has some wealth, it is far from enough for Qin Yuyao, and there is always enough money.The biggest purpose of entering the mountain today is to look for traces of red pepper.Without this seasoning, the taste of the food lacked a lot of room for development, which made Qin Yuyao very regretful.

Carrying a small basket on my back, I went to the place where I had picked peppercorns and star anise before, picked most of the basket, and then wandered around the dense and humid hills.

Tianzhu Mountain is not too high, but it is long enough, one hilltop next to another, Qin Yuyao's feet kept turning around for the whole noon, and only turned half of the hilltop.And after turning around half of the hill, there was still no sign of red pepper, which made Qin Yuyao a little disappointed.

Could it be that there is no red pepper plant in this world?If so, what kind of seasoning should I find instead?Thinking about it in her heart, Qin Yuyao turned to the other half of the mountain and began to walk back down the mountain.

Just when she had given up too much hope, a flash of bright red suddenly jumped into her eyes!

Could it be that there is no place to find when you break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it?Qin Yuyao was overjoyed, she pushed aside the branches and bushes in front of her and walked towards the bright red spot.When I came to that plant, I couldn't help but feel half joy and half bitterness.

I saw these plump, round and brightly colored fruits, where is the red pepper?It is clearly a tomato!After stepping over a clump of weeds, Qin Yuyao walked to the side of the tomato plant, took off the small basket and put it on the ground, bent down and picked five or six ripe tomatoes, and put them into the small basket.Although not red peppers, tomatoes are also a good thing.

Straighten up your waist and look around, you can only see this one plant within a radius of [-] meters, there is nothing redundant.

This is strange, how could such a tomato grow out of thin air?Qin Yuyao was very puzzled, she searched the surroundings with a small pannier on her back, but she didn't find any good things, so she couldn't help but return angrily.

However, it is a bit inappropriate to say that he returned with regret.At this moment, Qin Yuyao, who was carrying the tomatoes on her back, became more excited about picking red peppers.Since a tomato plant can suddenly grow here, how can it be guaranteed that there is no red pepper growing anywhere?So, it's not that red peppers don't grow, but that she didn't discover it!
Thinking of this, all the disappointment faded from her eyes, and Qin Yuyao, carrying half a basket of peppercorns and star anise, and six bright red tomatoes, went down the mountain and returned to the yard.

It was already noon at this time, the sun was hanging in the sky, and the air was so hot that it twisted.After Qin Yuyao went down the mountain, she walked quickly to the house, looked up at the sun, and thought that Bao'er must be starving, right?When he entered the courtyard, he called out, "Bao'er?"

"Mother!" Hearing a familiar voice, Bao'er ran out of the house and threw herself into Qin Yuyao's arms: "Mother, are you back?" He raised his face and looked into the basket behind Qin Yuyao look inside.

Seeing that the inside was full, I couldn't help but my eyes lit up, what did my mother find delicious?Thinking of this, my stomach growled just in time.The little face blushed, lowered his head to cover his stomach, and whispered: "Mother, Bao'er is hungry."

"Mother, I'll make you something to eat now." Qin Yuyao touched Bao'er's little face with some distress, thinking that when she goes out again in the future, she must get some food to stay at home, so that Bao'er is hungry time to fill the stomach.

He led Bao'er into the house, put the small basket on the ground, took out a bright red tomato, and shook it in front of Bao'er: "Mother made this for you to eat."

"What is this?" Bao'er leaned over the tip of her nose, sniffed it, and smelled a faint fragrance that she had never experienced before, and her stomach growled again: "Mother, is this delicious?"

"Delicious." After Qin Yuyao finished speaking, she scooped up a ladle of water and washed the tomatoes.Then he took a small bowl, picked up a kitchen knife and cut the tomatoes into small pieces, then grabbed a handful of sugar and sprinkled it in the bowl.Take out Bao'er's special small spoon from the chopstick cage, stir the tomatoes and sugar, and bring it to the table: "Bao'er, try it."

Bao'er saw the bright red in the bowl, it was very beautiful, and he was very greedy for a long time, the delicious food that his mother said had never disappointed him.Flesh's little hand held the spoon and scooped a piece into his mouth.As soon as I entered the mouth, my eyes widened immediately, and surprise and joy burst out of it: "Oh, mother, it's delicious!"

Qin Yuyao squinted her eyes and smiled, a little smug. She used to like tomato mixed with sugar the most. It was easy to make and tasted good.It was sweet and sour, fragrant and delicious, especially the last remaining soup, which was never a drop, and it all went into her stomach.

"Bao'er eat slowly, mother will cook." Qin Yuyao walked to the stove, only to see that all the meat at home was eaten, and there were still a few potatoes and two carrots left.I can't help but sigh in my heart, the ancient times are really inconvenient, there is no refrigerator, and I can't eat meat every day.

Then she laughed again, that's what she thought, the villagers of Xiushui Village, even the richest village head's family, don't necessarily eat meat every day, at most they are willing to put some oil for cooking, who would worry about this thing?Shaking his head, he opened the window sash by the stove, grabbed a handful of dried mushrooms and fungus from the window sill outside, scooped a bowl of clear water, put them in and soaked them.
