pastoral fragrance

Chapter 32
Qiu Song was also fascinated, "Little sister, where did you get so much truth?" Why does Qiu Song feel that this little girl has not only become smarter since her head was injured, but also has many things that he, a scholar, doesn't understand? , but she knew it clearly.This is really unbelievable.

Qiu Lin smacked her lips and made up a lie, "Didn't Brother Shen Qing tell me this? How could I know so much..." Qiu Lin felt that since he came to this house, lying by himself has become an indispensable thing like eating up.Hey, once you travel through time, you will be a passerby from now on.

Qiu Song clicked his tongue suddenly, as if he just came to his senses.

Qiulin bit the bullet and buried herself in her meal.

Everyone has been busy these days, and it is time to go to the market in a blink of an eye.These medicinal materials have not been dried yet, and it will take a while before they can be sold in the market.I don't know if the walnut market is good or not.So the brothers and sisters had a meal and started their old business again, digging wild vegetables in the mountains and fields.

After several days of clearing, the soil on the ridge of the field became hard.Stepping on it is as flat as stepping on a bluestone slab, and the hot wind mixed with the fragrance of rice ears rushes towards you, and a leisurely rural scenery opens in front of Qiulin.Being in it, Qiulin only felt that he was a part of it, with a strong sense of existence, and this feeling was extremely comfortable.

"Little sister, why are you dawdling, you are the last one every time." Qiuyue's cursing words came along with the wind, and her face was quite ugly.

Qiulin quickly suppressed his emotions, and hurriedly chased after him with a basket in hand.The scorching sun in the past few days has been blazing, and some fragile wild vegetables in the fields have been swallowed, and they are pulling their heads deafly.The children walked along the stream. The wild vegetables here are close to the water source, and the water supply is sufficient. They grow luxuriantly, with thick leaves and thick roots.For some wild vegetables, just choose the young leaves on the tip. People in the town like to be particular about it, but they don't like to eat the old ones.

Qiuyue chose to choose, but found that Qiuhe had already thrown away her small hoe, and she didn't know what she was doing when she picked up wild vegetables.Qiuyue's anger came up again, "Third brother, what are you doing, sticking there with a little old man..."

Qiuyue hadn't finished cursing, but Qiuhe suddenly raised her head, with a frustrated expression on her face, "Look, the loach will be quarreled with you." He stared at that loach for a long time, and he was about to reach out to catch it. When the eldest sister said this, the loach was frightened, and slid into the crevice of the rock at the speed of an arrow, and was never seen again.

loach?This stuff is quite filling and tastes great.Qiulin had only eaten this food in his hometown before, but after entering the city, the loach was very expensive, so he stopped eating it.Oh, what a pity.

Qiuyue also felt that it was a pity, but she ran away, and it was useless to regret.She lowered her head and continued digging wild vegetables, not caring about Qiuhe anymore.Anyway, his two little radish heads can't be counted on.

While choosing wild vegetables, Qiuhe stared at the place where the loach disappeared just now, without blinking his eyes, so that he didn't even realize that he had picked the weeds and thrown them into the basket.

Finally, Qiu He's watch was rewarded, and when the surroundings became quiet, the loach slipped out again, swimming freely in the water as if no one else was there, looking contented.Seeing the right moment, Qiuhe strikes suddenly, breading the loach with both hands.The loach suddenly felt that danger was coming, so it hurriedly burrowed into the crevice of the rock just now, but it happened to bump into Qiuhe's hand.It was too late to say that, Qiu He quickly held his hand, and he lifted his hand violently, and he threw the loach in his hand to the side of the path.The loach was short of water, and it bounced violently on the ground.

"Haha, I said you can't escape my palm!" Qiu He looked at the loach and smiled triumphantly.

But when the loach came ashore, Qiulin was a little disappointed. The loach was so small that no one in the family could drink two mouthfuls of it.

Qiuyue remained unmoved, and still chose wild vegetables.After squeezing a handful in my hands, I threw them into the back basket.

"Second brother, there's more here, come and see!" After the muddy water cleared up again, Qiu He was delighted to see that there were still loaches in here!Qiuhe hurriedly summoned his friends and asked his second brother to catch loaches with him.

Qiu Song turned his head to look into the stream, and sure enough, he saw two loaches swimming happily in the water with their soft figures.Qiulin also quickly turned his head away, one, two, those two loaches looked bigger than the one just now, Qiulin looked at those two loaches with great interest, if these two loaches were caught, they would be killed tonight. You can eat meat again!

"Let's choose the wild vegetables first. The stream is not deep, and these loaches can't swim anywhere. Let's catch the loaches after we've picked the wild vegetables." Choose more wild vegetables and sell them tomorrow a few dollars.What the family is short of now is money, so Qiusong decides to pick wild vegetables first.

The second elder brother said so, and Qiu He was not the one who made trouble for no reason, so he nodded in agreement.It's just that he was still thinking about the loaches in the stream, and the action of choosing vegetables became faster and faster.

"Look carefully, don't put all the weeds in the basket." Qiuyue's mouth fell on the busy Qiuhe's head again.

Qiuhe lowered her head and didn't speak.It's just that the movements of the hands are really slow, obviously listening to the elder sister's words.Although the eldest sister's words were not pleasant, they were not unreasonable. Besides, Qiusong and the others had long been used to the elder sister's temperament, so they didn't think it was a problem.

After most of the time, Qiu Song's pannier was filled to the brim.Qiusong is used to picking wild vegetables, so the speed is extremely fast.Now he took a small hoe and went to the field to dig Houttuynia cordata, root and leaf.These brothers and sisters have been busy for most of the afternoon, and the baskets are full.Qiuhe couldn't wait any longer, so she quickly pulled her second brother to put down the basket and went to the place where the loach was found just now.

Several baskets were filled to the brim with wild vegetables, Qiuyue didn't say anything, and walked home with her own basket on her back. Qiulin carried a basket of wild vegetables and went home with her elder sister.

"Mother, what are you doing!" Qiuyue saw her mother sitting on the threshold of her house from a distance, with her head lowered and her fingers flipping, holding a flower in her hand, as if she was embroidering.Seeing the two of them enter the courtyard, Han quickly tucked the flower in his hand behind his back.He looked flustered.

"No, I didn't do anything..." Mrs. Han stood up and hurried into the house, "You are thirsty, mother will pour water for you!" After finishing speaking, she turned around and walked into the house. "Ah!" Han Shi suddenly screamed.

Qiuyue rushed over nervously, without putting down the basket, and quickly grabbed her mother's hand, the tip of the index finger of her left hand was dripping with bright red blood.Qiuyue felt very distressed when she saw it. At this time, she also clearly saw the things hidden behind Han's back, and she couldn't help frowning, "Mother, you are still sick, and I told you not to make these things anymore, it hurts." Body. The few of us went to dig some herbs and wild vegetables, and this day is also very comfortable. Besides, after the fish pond is tidied up, we can raise fish and lotus roots in it. Our family's life will become better and better, you Don't worry about it, don't embroider this kind of pattern again." Qiuyue chopped off with one hand, took the pattern from Han's hand, and said naggingly.

Han Shi nodded with a smile, "Anyway, there is nothing left and right, lying down is lying down, why not find some work to do, and be more at ease." A child is busy.Not only were the household chores taken over by several of them, but they also had to make money for the family's expenses.But she was sick and couldn't do anything for these children, Han was full of sadness.

Qiuyue frowned unhappily, "Mother, if you are in a hurry, just talk to dad for a while, and you are not allowed to do these tricks again in the future." Qiuyue didn't know what her mother was thinking, she also wanted to embroider more tricks , but also for the sake of this family.But Dr. Sun said that my mother is not weak, so she will not allow her to touch her feet in such a worrying thing.

"Yes mother, how many of us are there, mother, go and rest quickly." Qiulin also comforted me carefully, "Mother, look, the wild vegetables we picked today are fresh and plump, and we will go collect them tomorrow. The market will definitely sell for a good price!"

Mrs. Han was amused by Qiulin's words, and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I will touch these things after my mother's bones are recovered. This is always okay. I am cute and obedient, and my mother will listen to you."

Qiuyue nodded in full agreement, and said with a smile, "That's right, mother, you should take a break too." The burden of the family has always been on the shoulders of her parents. Now that she has grown up, she should also worry about family affairs. son shared.

After entering the house, Qiulin went to visit Ah Huang again, and saw that he was getting better and better every day. Today, Mrs. Han changed Ah Huang's medicine at home. According to his mother, Ah Huang's wound has healed, and I believe he will recover in a day. Can be cured.Qiulin was very happy, "Ah Huang, in a few days, you will be able to get out of bed and be alive and kicking like before."

Ah Huang on the bed blinked, as if he understood what Qiu Lin said.

"Our Ah Huang is really smart, you understand what I said!" Qiulin hugged Ah Huang with his small arms. This big yellow dog is so cute and obedient.Qiulin pinched Ah Huang's nose with her small hands, it was soft and very comfortable.

Xia Yan was hugged by Qiu Lin's small arms, and he pinched his nose with his hand, but he didn't feel any rejection in his heart, and his brown tail was raised high, swinging from side to side.When Xia Yan realized that he was acting unconsciously, Xia Yan was stunned. How could he act like this?Is he pandering to her?Could it be that he really regarded himself as a dog, begging for mercy from his master?Xia Yan's heart was filled with these few questions. How long ago did he fall to such an unbearable situation?Xia Yan was depressed and wanted to cry, but his eyes were dry and he couldn't shed tears.

After Qiu Lin had left for a long time, Xia Yan was still feeling agitated and couldn't calm down for a long time.Being reduced to Si, really made him want to cry without tears!
As the evening approached, Qiu Song and Qiu He finally came back.In addition to two backs of wild vegetables on their backs, Qiusong also carried seven or eight small loaches in his hands, strung together with straw ropes.

Seeing this, Qiulin's eyelids twitched. There are so many loaches, there must be some loaches to eat tonight.Qiulin was very happy, the two elder brothers just arrived at the gate of the yard, Qiulin ran over directly, "Wow, there are so many loaches."

Qiu Song patted Qiu Lin's small head lovingly, "You little glutton, you have a good fortune today. There are two eels at your third brother's place!" The family is too poor to open the pot, even if there is not much meat Meat can be eaten, but these loach and eels can satisfy the gluttony.

When Qiulin heard this, he really jumped up happily. He thought it was just a few loaches to satisfy his hunger, but he didn't expect there to be eels.This is really a good thing, the most nourishing.She kept applauding, and hurried to the stove to tell the good news to the eldest sister.

"Look at your worthless appearance, you little greedy cat, why didn't you die of greed!" Qiuyue was happy and funny after hearing this, and poked Qiulin's little head with reproaches.

Qiuhe put the basket in the yard, picked up the rice field eel and loach, and ran to the stove house quickly, "Sister, we have something to eat today."

Qiuyue smiled and nodded, looking at the things in Qiuhe's hand. Although there were only two rice field eels, they were not small. The two rice field eels together weighed a lot, and a few loaches could make loach soup. "Go ask your second brother to cut up the rice eel and loach, and today I will make stir-fried rice eel and loach soup for you little gluttons, so that you can satisfy your hunger!"

Qiulin stayed to light the fire for Qiuyue, and Qiuhe carried the loach and eel to the yard with the knife in his arms.Qiuyue chose some picked wild vegetables, washed some and put them in a big bowl, and made a plate later.Then he turned around and opened the sauerkraut jar at home, and took out two sauerkraut jars from it.After soaking in water, quickly pick it up, wring out the water, put it on the cutting board, and use the kitchen knife to cut it.

While the fire was burning, Qiulin stared at the eldest sister intently, seeing that the skill of the elder sister in chopping vegetables was even better than that of her mother.At this moment, Qiuyue put the cut sauerkraut on a plate in a hurry, took out two ginger and garlic from the cupboard, washed and peeled it, quickly took a knife to pat it, cut it and put it on the side of the sauerkraut.In a blink of an eye, Qiulin stared at this side intently, and said with a smile: "You little foodie, light up the fire carefully, and the fire won't be burnt out by you later."

Qiulin rolled his eyes and didn't speak.She was not greedy, but she was attracted by the nimble knife skills of the elder sister.Qiulin lowered his head and added another handful of firewood into the stove hole.

At this moment, Qiu Song happened to bring the cut loach and eel into the house, washed it clean under the command of the elder sister, and after throwing it to the elder sister, he moved the selected wild vegetables to the yard for washing.

The tortillas in the pot are almost ready to serve.Qiuyue told Qiulin not to put more firewood in the stove hole, put the corn cakes in the big bowl after cooking, and put a little oily smell from the crock pot filled with big oil, put them in the big pot, and put the ginger and garlic in it. After sprinkled in, the spatula hurriedly stirred it, and a tempting fragrance suddenly emanated from the pot, which smelled very good.Throw the chopped sauerkraut into the cauldron and stir fry it constantly.The scent of the seed was stirred to fill the room with fragrance.Qiuyue was unambiguous, and quickly cut the head of the eel with a knife, threw all the eel segments into the cauldron, stirred the spatula vigorously, and kept stirring.

Qiu Lin, who was lighting a fire in front of the stove, smelled the alluring fragrance, and his mouth was watering with greed.It's so fragrant.
