Splendid Pastoral Wife

Chapter 22

"If the sweet potato you mentioned is really planted successfully, you won't be able to eat it at all." Qin Baozhu said with a hint of excitement.

"Yeah, I definitely can't eat it. Then we can make roasted sweet potatoes, sweet potato cakes, dried sweet potatoes, and vermicelli." Tian Liusu didn't hesitate to teach him, thinking that Qin Baozhu is indeed very smart, if he can get rid of his dandyism.

"Ah, it sounds delicious. Those cooks in my village are really poor in their skills."

"Well, seeing that you have changed your ways and returned to the right, and help me fertilize again today, let's eat at my house tonight."

"Really? That's great. How about your cooking?" Qin Baozhu excitedly licked his tongue and smacked his mouth.

"It's okay, it's just a common meal."

Tian Liusu thought to herself that she was going to make money through Qin Baozhu soon, so he was now her half god of wealth, so she naturally wanted to get close to him, and it would be fine to keep him for a meal.

Besides, she can always find a sense of familiarity from him because of his modern thinking, she tried several times, Qin Baozhu is indeed not a transhuman, but why does he have a transhuman feeling?For a moment she longed to know him.

After fertilizing, Qin Baozhu sent a few servants who smelled of excrement back to wash, and he followed Tian Liusu back to her thatched hut.

Now it’s winter, and the villagers have no charcoal to burn. Every household only uses firewood for heating. Now that the busy farming is over, most of the villagers go to the mountains to cut firewood, pick up dung with boxes, and store various materials for the winter.

Tian Liusu lit the fire on the kang stove today. After Qin Baozhu renovated the two broken thatched cottages last time, the places that should be repaired have been repaired, and they are much warmer. The kang became hot, and she sewed animal skin kang mats and animal skin quilts, so she was warm and very comfortable after sleeping.

An Anlele saw Qin Baozhu follow Tian Liusu back home, his eyes flashed with vigilance, Xue Ling hid on the other side to sew cotton clothes, Qin Baozhu had nothing to do and could only stare at An Anlele and the three of them.

Tian Liusu bought two hens on the first day, and started laying eggs on the second day. An An and Lele lay in the chicken coop every day to keep an eye on the movements of the two hens, and brought them back happily after laying eggs , I have saved five or six eggs in the past few days.

Tian Liusu broke a few eggs and stirred them well, scalded them with boiling water and put them outside to cool, then took out the half box of shepherd's purse that she led An Anlele and Xue Ling to dig in the field a few days ago, and beat some cornmeal Then add shepherd's purse, salt, drop a few drops of sesame oil, simmer for a while and boil it into a cornmeal shepherd's purse paste.

The shepherd's purse in my memory is so fragrant, it seems that in the previous life, I learned a Chinese class on digging shepherd's purse, Tian Liusu recalled while doing it.

After the shepherd's purse paste is ready, she takes back the cooled egg water and adds it to a bowl of white noodles. Add chopped green onion and salt and mix well with a spoon. The method is called egg soaking, which is soft and delicious, very delicious.

After she was done, she invited a few people to come over for dinner, and when she lifted the curtain, she saw Qin Baozhu and An Anlele occupying each side of the kang table outside, and then the three of them stared at each other with their six eyes motionless.

She smiled "puchi" and called out: "An An Le Le, come and eat quickly, my mother cooked delicious food."

As soon as the two children heard that they were eating, they didn't care whether they won or lost. They hurriedly stood up to wash their hands, and then rushed in after washing their hands. Xue Ling came in to clean up the dishes and set the meal.

"Hahaha, kid, you finally beat you once, right?" Qin Baozhu laughed and got up and walked inside.

Tian Liusu moved the Kang table back to the back room, and several people gathered around the table and began to eat.

"What's this?" Qin Baozhu asked curiously, pointing to the golden egg.

"Egg bubbles, bumpkins..." An An's sweet and crisp voice bared him.

Qin Baozhu couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and put a piece into his mouth: "Well, it's delicious, it's delicious..."

"What is this?" He asked again when Xue Ling scooped up a bowl of shepherd's purse paste and brought it to him.

"Shepherd's purse is mushy, country bumpkin..." Lele's soft, waxy and sweet voice sounded, and he bared him again.

"Well, this one is not bad..." How could Qin Baozhu care about the two children's screams at this moment?I ate so much that I couldn't even talk about it.

Xue Ling was redeemed by Qin Baozhu and forced to run away for her concubine and was beaten. These days Qin Baozhu came to Tian Liusu's door to mess around, and she always hid. Swallowing slowly, Qin Baozhu regarded Xue Ling as air, and kept shouting that it was delicious.

After dinner, Tian Liusu chased Qin Baozhu away. Seeing that Tian Liusu was very kind today, Qin Baozhu boldly asked Tian Liusu to marry him, but she took a feather duster and drove him out of the yard.

"This man, if you give him two points of color, he will open a dyeing workshop." Tian Liusu said to Xue Ling while walking back with a feather duster.

Xue Ling covered her mouth and smiled, but said nothing.

The next day, the news that Tian Liusu had contracted the Qinjiazhuang wasteland once again spread throughout Tianshui Village. Some kind-hearted villagers came to ask Tian Liusu about the situation, worrying that she would lose money.

Tian Liusu accepted it with a smile, while others read jokes behind her back and called her stupid. The land had never been planted with crops since the establishment of Tianshui Village, and she contracted the land because she was a ghost.

Sister-in-law Song also hurriedly came to persuade Tian Liusu to think twice, but Tian Liusu told the villagers through sister-in-law Song that when they went to the mountains to cut firewood, they could dig Poria cocos and sell them to her.

As soon as the news came out, the villagers jumped up again, and came to inquire about the price and the appearance of Poria cocos. Tian Liusu described to them the growth environment and appearance of Poria cocos in detail, and the price he gave was also fair, twenty cents per catty. The villagers listened Immediately after speaking, he went up the mountain to dig Poria cocos.

Shopkeeper Zhu had already sent people to urge her several times, but Tian Liusu had no choice but to come up with this method. She asked Xue Ling to stay at home to take care of the two children, and she also led Sister Song to the mountains to dig.

These days, she has been wanting to go to the mountain to find the paradise she met last time, but she has no time to go. Today, she plans to go there again after entering the mountain.

After the two entered the mountain, Tian Liusu led her to go straight to the paradise along the previous route, but when she reached the place where she picked poria cocos last time, no matter what, she couldn't find the entrance. After digging, new Poria cocos grew out. Tian Liusu and Mrs. Song searched for the entrance of the valley while digging Poria cocos.

The two of them wandered around the mountain for most of the day, but they couldn't find the entrance to the valley. Tian Liusu secretly thought, could it be that they really entered the space-time tunnel last time?Or is that valley a portal to another time and space?Or have you really encountered the legendary Xanadu?
She observed the terrain there, and she was right. The masson pine there was still engraved with the mark that she and Song Xi used to communicate with each other. Why did the forest at the entrance disappear?
