Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 253 On The Road

Thinking in this way, she allocated most of the chicken to this poor "child", as a way to comfort his tortured soul, and finally picked up a light talk.

"What small town or county will we pass by tomorrow? We need to buy more seasonings. I don't know who bought those in the car. This person must have never cooked! Whose star anise buys a basket, even braised pork all day is enough It has been used for a year. On the contrary, it is commonly used such as fine salt and icing sugar, so I only bought a little."

Qin Rui stuffed a piece of stewed soft and oily chicken into his mouth, narrowing his eyes happily, wishing to applaud his wise decision ten thousand times.

Originally, I was just tired of dealing with those people, looking for an excuse to go out alone, and check some things by the way.In order not to be chased by the lackeys in the palace, he casually grabbed the cook and went on the road together, but unexpectedly, he found a real treasure.

During the day, you can sit leisurely and comfortably on the shaft of the car and drive on the road, looking at the mountains and rivers. When you are hungry, you will have clean and delicious meals, and you will have a good sleep at night.It seemed that he had never lived such a comfortable life since he was born.

After the meal, the carriage continued on the road. The slightly rough path was not easy to walk, and there were often small stones on the wheels, which made the pots, pans, pans and other sundries in the car jingle non-stop.Occasionally, the bumps were severe, and Ding Wei complained in the car, "You coachman, don't you want to eat at night? What kind of craftsmanship, you can't even drive a car?"

Qin Rui didn't mind either. He sat on the shaft of the cart with his legs dangling, and while slapping the bay red horse with a whip, he retorted, "It's not my fault, it's Dahong's bad eyesight!"

The bay red horse, who was called Big Red, heard that he had been wronged, and snorted a few times, but couldn't speak, so he could only bear the blame in silence.

The two of them headed towards Wenshui City like this with a horse and a cart, and they walked for another two days after leaving.

The weather was still very clear this morning. Ding Wei bought some food and food in the towns she passed by, and finally boarded the carriage for less than two hours. It rained heavily.

It was rare for Qin Rui to be reliable at this moment, so he quickly pulled the horse's rein and drove the carriage to a ruined temple at the foot of the mountain beside the road.

Almost as soon as the front foot of the carriage reached the gate of the temple, the heavy raindrops fell on the back foot.

The dilapidated temple is not big, and half of the front of the door has collapsed, just enough to drive the carriage in.Fortunately, the roof inside is still intact, so it doesn't have to avoid the heavy rain, but it has to withstand the "care" of light rain.

Qin Rui unloaded the cart and tied the bay red horse under the eaves.Standing at the door, Ding Wei saw that the sky was covered with dark clouds. It was clear that today was not going to be sunny. Not only did she have to settle her dinner here, but she also had to sleep in the open for the whole night.

Qin Rui didn't have this worry, he leaned against the door with a smile and enjoyed the rain, and said, "Today I can't work hard even if I want to, sister, let's cook some expensive food for dinner. Burn more fire, this ruined temple will be destroyed." Warmer."

"Who's your sister?" Ding Wei gave him a sideways glance. Although the two of them had agreed to be brothers and sisters when they were on the road together, but now there were no outsiders, and she was upset, so she responded with a sentence, but Seeing that Qin Rui was not only not angry, but still smiling, he felt a little sorry.No matter what secrets he still has, but now he is indeed escorting her all the way to the east, and he still needs to accept some love.

"Okay, if you can find dry firewood, stew the pork belly you bought earlier."

"Haha, this is easy!"

In the past two days, Qin Rui had already figured out the temper of this "companion", a typical sharp mouth and tofu heart.Although he always has a fierce appearance, his heart is extremely kind.As long as you see the elderly on the road, you will take the initiative to take a ride, and you will spread some snacks when you meet children. You are really a bad guy.

But it was also because of this that he dared to rest assured to eat the food she cooked.He didn't have to listen to what she said so many times.Simple people, it turns out that getting along also has such benefits.

The ruined temple must have been abandoned for many years. Two broken boards, a broken window, and even a few logs were piled up under the eaves behind the temple.I don't know if someone wanted to repair this dilapidated temple at the beginning, but in the end it was nothing, but now it's cheaper for two people who are hiding from the rain and want to eat braised pork.

With a few axes, the wooden boards and wooden windows could no longer see their original appearance. Some withered grass and twigs were placed under them, and when the flint hit, the red bonfire soon burned up.

Ding Wei took all the supplies from the car, cut the pork belly into large pieces, and there was not so much water prepared earlier, so it could not be blanched anymore.Taking advantage of the fact that the fire is not too big, quickly set up an iron frame and a copper pot, add oil and meat to fry the sugar color, and when the fire is big, just add water and simmer.After the water in the pot boiled for a quarter of an hour, the campfire was divided into half, and another tin pot was set up to boil water and make tea. . .

It was raining heavily outside the door, and the sky and the earth were full of water, but the ruined temple a few feet away was rarely warm.

Qin Rui dug out an ordinary collection of poems from somewhere, sat by the bonfire, shook his head and read non-stop, and occasionally couldn't help clapping his hands and applauding. That intoxicated appearance made Ding Wei secretly call him a "bookworm" head.

Instead, she thought of the man she missed day and night, but when she was studying, he sat quietly in front of the window, as beautiful as the breeze and the moon.It used to make her feel dazed when she saw it, and when she regained her senses, she would meet his deep eyes, which were full of love, so sweet that she almost melted. . .

"I don't want to, I don't want to, I'll be home soon!" Ding Wei was so lost in thought that she almost burned her hands, she quickly shook her head and ran to the car to look for jars.When she was staying at an inn the day before yesterday, she specially borrowed a jar of Chinese toon and a jar of sour bamboo shoots from the back kitchen, which just happened to be served with braised pork, otherwise it would be too greasy.

Qin Rui had already picked up the boiling kettle and started making tea, and soon the light tea scent mixed with the smell of meat, quickly encroaching on every corner of the ruined temple.

Ding Wei was almost too busy, so she sat by the copper pot with tea all night, staring at the heavy rain outside in a daze.

Qin Rui shook his head and read the poem for a long time, and then he emptied his mouth to drink tea, and couldn't help but praise, "Okay, that's great!"

Ding Wei didn't know whether he was praising tea or poetry, but when she was about to speak, she heard a noise from outside the ruined temple.

Qin Rui moved his ears, but he didn't get up.Ding Wei glanced at him, guessing that there was no danger, she went to the door to check.

It turned out that four or five farmers rushed towards the ruined temple in a wheelbarrow in the heavy rain. There were some bags and sundries piled up on the cart, covered with linoleum, but everyone was soaked in water.

Xu Shi had seen a fire in the ruined temple before, and several people had already guessed that someone had settled down, but they didn't expect it to be a woman.A few people obviously hesitated in a daze, Ding Wei hurriedly opened the door and shouted, "Come in quickly, fellow villagers!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and called Qin Rui, "Brother, hurry up and help, some fellow villagers are here to shelter from the rain!"

Sure enough, the expressions of those farmers calmed down, and they all shouted, "No need, big sister, we can push it by ourselves."

While talking, they pushed the wheelbarrows and entered the door one by one.

Although it is now late spring and early summer, the weather is a bit cold due to the heavy rain.The temple was warmed by two piles of bonfires, and the hot and cold hatchback rushed, and several farmers who had just entered the temple gate couldn't help sneezing.

In the end, Xu Shi felt a little rude, looked at Qin Rui who had just stood up in embarrassment, and said with a naive smile, "I'm sorry, big brother."

Qin Rui didn't mind, and greeted with a smile, "It's not easy to go out. Brothers, if you don't mind, come here to warm up and drink a bowl of hot water."

Ding Wei also hurriedly dug out the ginger in the basket, cut it into slices with a few knives and threw it into the kettle to boil.

Several farmers saw that they not only had a carriage, but also brought such a complete set of food and supplies, they were very curious and a little restrained, so they checked that the things on the cart were not wet, and hesitated whether to go there Roast on the fire.

Ding Wei found a few earthenware bowls, and poured ginger soup while urging, "Brothers, come and drink ginger soup, it won't be good if you catch a cold after a while."

Xu Shi saw that Ding Wei was so sincere, the oldest farmer came over with a few neighbors, warmed up around the fire and drank ginger soup.

Ding Wei asked with a smile, "Where are the elder brothers from? I'm afraid they will spend the night in this temple together due to the heavy rain?"

The oldest farmer returned the empty bowl with both hands, and replied, "Thank you, big sister, for your hospitality. We just came back from working at Wenshui Wharf. We were anxious to get home early, but we didn't expect to encounter heavy rain."

Ding Wei was overjoyed when she heard this, and quickly asked again, "Do you guys know if there is a boat going to Donghao from Wenshui Wharf? It's best to sail within half a month?"

The farmer thought for a while, and said, "I've never heard of it. It seems that Donghao is going to fight Tiele again. No boat dares to go there."

"Really?" Ding Wei fell from heaven to hell in an instant, frustrated, "Is there really no boat to Donghao?"

The farmer probably also saw her disappointment, and hurriedly said, "Sister, we are working near the pier, so we don't have time to ask around. Maybe there is a boat, but we don't know. It's only two or three days away. It’s better for you to go and inquire about the distance.”

Ding Wei also knew that he was comforting herself, but she still appreciated it in her heart, so she said, "Okay, thank you brother."

On the contrary, the farmer felt a little ashamed that he was not helpful, and when he saw a few fellow villagers finished drinking the ginger soup, he invited them to sit in the corner together.

Ding Wei glanced at Qin Rui who had a smile on his face but didn't speak for a while, and didn't stop them, but just divided another bonfire and went over.

The farmers were very happy, thank you again and again.Finally, they formed a corner with wheelbarrows, took off their coats and roasted on the bonfire.

Ding Wei managed to open the lid of the pot, and turned over the braised pork. Seeing that the meat was soft and rotten, she added a few twigs to heat up the fire. When the soup was gone, she said, "It's time to eat!"

Qin Rui immediately threw aside the collection of poems that he held in his hand like a treasure, completely ignoring whether the pages were stained with mud or not.Ding Wei rolled her eyes, hurriedly picked it up, wiped it clean, and then went to the car to get the thin noodle steamed buns she bought at noon.

Qin Rui took the copper pot off the shelf a long time ago, put a piece of meat in his hand with the chopsticks, and stuffed it into his mouth, but the next moment he jumped up, "Oh, it's hot, it's too hot!"

It's a pity that while shouting so much, the piece of meat was reluctant to spit it out, and even went to grab another piece just after swallowing it.
