Xianggong came from the mountains

Chapter 17

Xiao Chu glanced lightly and said: "It's worth a few pennies. Orchids are not easy to sell in small towns, but it may be different if you go to a bigger place."

Xia Qinghe was excited for a while just now, thinking that he could sell orchids to make money. This stream is very suitable for orchids to grow. He thought he could sell some money, but after thinking about Xiao Chu's words carefully, it is not unreasonable. In the trading place, everyone is familiar with orchids, and they really can't be sold at a high price.

She died down, and she was full of confidence just now, but now she is a lot more decadent.

Walking all the way, she gained something. She found a lot of kudzu roots growing on a slope. She remembered the location and planned to dig it back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Xiao Chu was hunting prey while walking, while Xia Qinghe was looking for things to sell, but she dug up all the edible things she knew, no matter if it was herbs or yams, and put them in the basket, not to mention She was very lucky, and found a big dry tree. The big tree grew a lot of fungus after being exposed to wind and sun. The fungus grew dry on the wood. She picked a slightly larger one and put it in half a cloth bag.

Xiao Chu came back after hunting a pheasant. Seeing that it was already afternoon, it would be too late to continue walking in. Seeing that Xia Qinghe had already filled the basket, he thought it was time to go back.

He glanced at Xia Qinghe's back basket several times, except for one or two that he knew, he didn't seem to know anything else.

He couldn't help but frowned and said, "What are you doing with all these things?"

He really couldn't understand Xia Qinghe, who was completely different from the girls in the village. Even if Xia Qinghe was probably a lady in the past, this behavior was too abnormal!
Ladies, do you know fungus, kudzu root, yam and Dendrobium officinale?The more he looked at Xia Qinghe, the more he felt that Xia Qinghe was mysterious. His whole body seemed to be covered with a mist, which made people unable to figure it out. He couldn't help but want to continue to understand, to understand in depth.

Xia Qinghe glanced at Xiao Chu proudly, she didn't care about Xiao Chu at all, these things are all treasures, she didn't tell Xiao Chu that they were all used for money, especially Dendrobium candidum, which is a life-saving medicine Unexpectedly, she was lucky enough to see a big tree growing on it when she was picking fungus.

Zhu Xiaochang was very hungry, rubbing his stomach like a child and shouting for food all the time, Xia Qinghe was helpless, the sweet potatoes they ate at noon, she was afraid that Zhu Xiaochang would be hungry and gave Zhu Xiaochang the two largest sweet potatoes.

There is nothing I can do if I am hungry, I have to go back to eat.

Xia Qinghe comforted: "Be patient, I will cook for you later when I go home."

Xiao Chu threw the pheasant twisted in his hand and the hare hanging from his waist directly into Xia Qinghe's back basket.

Xia Qinghe only felt a heavy weight on her back, and then the basket was picked up by Xiao Chu, and she immediately relaxed a lot.

"Let me carry it for you." Xiao Chu directly took the pannier off Xia Qinghe's back, and carried it on his back very freely.

Xia Qinghe was not pretentious this time, he was a little tired after the day.

Xiao Chu sent the two of them back home. After cleaning up the rabbits, the pheasants and rabbits stayed behind and asked Xia Qinghe to prepare them for him to eat later.

If there is meat to eat, Xia Qinghe doesn't care about moral integrity anymore. At this moment, all she can think about is how to get rabbit meat to eat and how to roast chicken!

The sweet potatoes were steamed in a pot, and she asked Zhu Xiaochang to light up the fire, while she started frying the spicy chicken and roasted rabbit meat herself.

Zhu's house is good, the firewood is chopped one by one, so the charcoal was burnt out in a short while, she simply made a grill in the middle of the yard, then put the rabbit meat on bamboo and began to handcuff it.

Brushed with a thin layer of oil, then brushed with a little salt and grilled.

The aroma of meat wafted from the small courtyard after a while, Zhu Xiaochang couldn't help swallowing, squatting aside and staring at the rabbit meat with happiness.

Why did he feel that since Xia Qinghe cooked, he ate better than before?
In the past, if a rabbit was caught at home, it would definitely be sold at the market, where it is as free and easy as it is now.

The sky gradually darkened, dogs barked from time to time in the village, Xiao Chu brought two fish and a jug of wine in his hand.

As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Xia Qinghe was roasting rabbit meat. The aroma of rabbit meat wafted into the air little by little. He had done barbecue before, but it was the first time he smelled such a fragrance.

He walked in and took a closer look, but saw that the surface of the rabbit meat was roasted golden, with a lot of chili powder on the oily surface, and a little honey aroma.

"Did you put honey?" Xiao Chu was a little surprised.

Xia Qinghe smiled slightly, and looked at the rabbit he baked with satisfaction. He wanted to make cumin roasted rabbit before, but unfortunately there was no cumin here. Fortunately, Zhu Xiaochang found a small bamboo tube under his bed, which contained half a bamboo tube of honey. Coincidentally, this honey was used.

She was a little apprehensive about roasting rabbit meat with honey for the first time, so she only used a little bit. Unexpectedly, the taste is quite good, and the aroma of salt and chili has a special taste. She uses a lot of chili, the kind that comes with rabbits. She doesn't like the taste.

The spicy chicken was ready, and since Xiao Chu came, she immediately started cooking. The spicy chicken was packed, and the sweet potatoes were all taken out. Zhu's rotten three-legged table must not be used, so she directly took out a bundle of straw and laid it out. On the ground, they put all the food on the straw, and they sat on the straw and ate, with roasted rabbits beside them, this day should not be too good!

Xiao Chu poured some wine for Zhu Xiaochang, who knew that Xia Qinghe wanted some too, once he drank the wine, Xia Qinghe began to talk more, saying something that she thought was reasonable, but Xiao Chu felt a little unbelievable.

The spicy chicken tastes very good, because there is no oil, so she directly stir-fries the chicken, not to mention, a little oil in the dry-stir-fried chicken is also fried out.

There was no oil left at home, and she really couldn't live a life without oil and vegetables, so she decided to think about what to do next after selling the money.

Xiao Chu became talkative even after drinking, Xia Qinghe naturally would not let go of this opportunity, and asked everything he wanted to ask.

Only then did she know that this is called the Great Zhou Kingdom, and the location of the Kaoshan Village is close to the border of Dazhou. , is poorer than the nearby villages, and after encountering the banditry this time, I'm afraid it will be even poorer.

Xia Qinghe really wanted to know Xiao Chu's background, but after asking tentatively several times, Xiao Chu tried to cover it up with sloppy eyes. She was not stupid, knowing that Xiao Chu didn't want to tell, she didn't ask any further.
