Xianggong came from the mountains

Chapter 20
Xiao Chu looked serious and serious.

Xia Qinghe felt that he had taken advantage of it, so he laughed and said cheerfully, "Are you serious? You're not kidding me, are you?"

Xiao Chu rolled his eyes at Xia Qinghe, his voice was cold: "Do you think I'm joking?"

Xia Qinghe shook her head like a rattle drum: "No, but if you think about it this way, you will be at a disadvantage. After all, I have two people."

Xiao Chu's complexion improved a little, he took a sip of wine and said, "You also know that I'm at a disadvantage? Then make the food better."

Xia Qinghe can guarantee this. She has learned to cook by herself since she was a teenager. Her cooking skills are not perfect.

Xia Qinghe asked Xiao Chu to take her into the mountain for two days in a row. Her harvest was still very good, and she found some fungus and herbs.

She goes out early and returns late every day, and she doesn't know if people in the village have come to make trouble. It doesn't matter if she thinks about it carefully. Food is the most important thing now. Although there is Xiao Chu's help, she can't rely entirely on Xiao Chu to live, isn't she? She still hopes that she can make more money .

Zhu Xiaochang went out with a lot of diligence, and he did whatever Xia Qinghe arranged for him.

Xiao Chu's harvest in the past two days was not bad, he killed five pheasants and two hares, and what surprised Xia Qinghe the most was that Xiao Chu also killed a deer.

Except for the rabbit and two pheasants that he brought back to eat, Xiao Chu decided to sell them for money to buy seasonings, because Xia Qinghe always said that there was no oil or salt at home.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and Xia Qinghe got up early to sort out the things that were going to be sold in the market. There were two full baskets, Zhu Xiaochang carried the larger one, and she carried the smaller one herself.

Zhu Xiaochang put the basket on his back with a sad and comfortable look: "Qinghe, is it true that you cooked us something delicious at night?"

Delicious food is always on his mind, as long as there is something delicious to tell him to do.

Xia Qinghe picked up his back basket, closed the courtyard door and said, "There must be something delicious. If we sell the money today and buy some eggs, I'll make you some delicious scrambled eggs with leeks. Also, I'll eat rabbit meat." Isn’t the salt ready? We can also braise the rabbit meat in brown sauce, or roast it, and if we have more money, we can buy some more rice.”

She drools when she thinks of the delicious rice. She used to want to lose weight and didn't want to eat rice, but now she is willing to exchange a bowl of rice for her to gain ten catties.

She carried dry goods in her basket, such as fungus, rock fungus, herbs and so on, while Zhu Xiaochang carried yams in her basket. Xiao Chu said that yams are very easy to sell in the town, so she kept that in mind.

It was still dark when she walked to the river, and even so, there were several people with baskets on their backs standing on the embankment, some people in the village were holding torches, and everyone seemed a little surprised to see her passing by, including one Yuan Shi.

Yuan Shi could be heard snorting coldly from far away, and Xia Qinghe did not get together with the villagers, but took Zhu Xiaochang to the other side, a little distance away from the villagers.

Da Huzi, Er Gouzi and two other teenagers hurried forward to help Xia Qinghe pick up the basket.

The big tiger quickly put the back basket away and said with a simple and honest smile: "Qinghe, you are going to the market too."

Xia Qinghe nodded and did not speak.

A young man she didn't know looked Xia Qinghe up and down, and couldn't help but said: "The girls from this rich family are just different. You can feel extravagant when you look at them from top to bottom. Qinghe, you have time to come to the village to play. Don't go to the village every day." Stay with that idiot Zhu Xiaochang."

Zhu Xiaochang hated people calling him a fool the most, and even said in front of Xia Qinghe that he wanted to punch people with his fists.

Xia Qinghe had a headache and held Zhu Xiaochang back: "Don't be impulsive."

Zhu Xiaochang glanced at Xia Qinghe, and the anger in his eyes gradually dissipated. Xia Qinghe said that he was not a fool, but that he was a little slower than others in reacting. Xia Qinghe also said that those who are impulsive and only know how to solve problems with their fists are weak.

He looked at the young man who was talking coldly and said, "I don't care about you like you." After speaking, he looked at Xia Qinghe and said, "Qinghe, don't talk to him, he is the most annoying person."

Xia Qinghe also didn't like the tone of the young man's speech, so he used a better way to flatter her, the glib tongue was not pleasing at all.

Xia Qinghe didn't want to worry about this matter, she glanced at the river but did not see the boat, which meant that Xiao Chu was already on the ferry.

"Brother Big Tiger, is Xiao Chu already on the ferry?" She asked with some doubts.

Xia Qinghe didn't think there was anything wrong, but Dahuzi was overjoyed. The words "Brother Dahu" completely yelled in her heart, and she was very sweet and comfortable.
Da Huzi blushed and became incoherent with excitement: "Xiao Chu has sent two boats of people across the river, and the small boat can only take two people at a time."

Xia Qinghe saw Xiao Chu's boat that day, it was true that Xiao Chu's boat was very small, and everyone had to carry some things to sell when they went to the city, so there were no more than two people in a boat.

She was a little anxious. She thought that she would be able to cross the river earlier, but she didn't expect that the people in the village would be earlier. There must be a queue. After it was her turn at least half an hour later, it would be too late to go to the town. Alright.

Da Huzi thought that Xia Qinghe was worried about not being able to find the way to the town, so he volunteered: "Qinghe, don't worry, if you want to go to the town, I can accompany you there."

Er Gouzi also interjected, "I can also go with you, and I can also carry a basket for you."

"I can too."

"And I……"

Xia Qinghe felt a headache. She glanced at the teenagers in front of her. They were all between 13 and 20 years old. They looked at her like a wolf seeing a lamb, especially when she said that Zhu Xiaochang was a fool. That boy, who seemed to be called Zhu Shuangjiang, looked at her with weird eyes, which she didn't like very much.

For a while, Xia Qinghe didn't know how to speak. She really didn't want to have any contact with the villagers.

Embarrassedly smiled and said: "Thank you for your kindness, Xiaochang was able to find the way to the town, so thank you for your kindness, Xiaochang and I can go."

Da Huzi was a little sorry, he didn't continue to pester like other teenagers, his mother said that some things had to be taken slowly.

He smiled honestly: "Then I will carry your things onto the boat for you later."

Zhu Shuangjiang's eyes were wandering all the time, Xia Qinghe couldn't help but frown after just taking a look at it. This person's eyes were frivolous and he looked like the kind of person who had no good intentions, so he had to be careful.

Xiao Chu came back with the empty boat, Yuan Shi impatiently yelled Er Gouzi, and then started to get on the boat with a basket on his back. Everyone wanted to rush into the city. The mother made a noise.
