Prosperous Pastoral: Sweet Pet Peasant Wife

Chapter 55

In the endless green fields, the wheat waves are blown by the dawn wind.

A girl in red innocently tugged at the arm of the man beside her, resting her head on his shoulder, and said something softly with a smile on her face.

Occasionally, when the wind blows, her crisp laughter can only make people feel numb all over.

The man in white walked calmly, occasionally glanced at the girl who was holding him and smiled softly.Originally, the distant and indifferent eyes were handsome and picturesque, but now because of the halo cast by the sunlight, the whole person was seven points tender.

The warmth from all over her body hit Han Xiutao's heart directly, she clutched her chest vigorously, and then grinned foolishly.

Until Mingshi gently tugged her.

"Let's go talk."

Mo Shangren is like jade, and the young master returns slowly.

Such a stunning woman, let my daughter fall in love with her, but she doesn't know whether it will be good or bad in the future.

At this time, Ming's heart was complicated.

A man who is outstanding and capable, there is no woman in this world who doesn't love, and who doesn't want it.

However, my own girl!
She turned her head again, and her daughter's face, which had always been calm and self-possessed, was now a little blush.

Under the trembling long eyelashes, a pair of eyes are as tender as water, quietly looking at the person in front, then quickly lowered his head, and took a deep breath...

Ming was a little startled.

How can such a strange and affectionate daughter really catch someone's eyes?
For a moment, she hesitated.

I'm afraid it won't work out.

However, Han Xiutao, who wanted to attract Li Shunan's attention, couldn't care less.

"I've met Miss Young Master." Han Xiutao stepped forward and saluted coquettishly.

However, Li Shunan just nodded indifferently without looking at it.

When it was Li Jialan, she giggled curiously.

"You also come to see the scenery!"

"Miss Hui, we are here to see the scenery..." Han Xiutao hesitated for a moment, then handed Li Shunan affectionate eyes, and replied with a softer voice.

Li Jialan glanced at her meaningfully, then looked at her elder brother who was watching the scenery in the distance, covered her cheeks with a grin, nodded, and left without answering any more questions.

Although she is naive and delicate, that's how she looks in front of her closest relatives.

Externally, some defensive instincts that should be there are still there.The girl looked at her elder brother with a coquettish expression, and the affection was soft and charming, which was self-evident.

Seeing people ignoring her, Han Xiutao clenched her lips.

It wasn't until the brothers and sisters passed by and watched them wander around the scenery that she suddenly realized that she was as humble as a girl in front of these two people.

"Xiu Tao..." Ming actually noticed it too.In front of these noble brothers and sisters, she couldn't help but bend down, always feeling that she was inferior.

"Mother thinks... this Mr. Li is too high-end, our family... is not worthy of him!"

However, these words seemed to provoke Han Xiutao.

She flung Ming's hand away.

growled angrily at her.

"Mother, your heart is biased. What kind of person does my elder brother want? I just tell you, and you respond without saying a word. I just want to climb a high branch, but you hit me in every way. And this We have decided on a marriage, and there are only advantages and no disadvantages with our family, why do you just look at such a good opportunity and insist on letting it go!"

Ming opened his mouth several times when his daughter scolded him.In the end, he was a little helpless, "Okay, daughter, you have great vision, mother will help you as much as possible. Let's go find that bitch Han Chuxia first."

The two of them were talking, when they saw Han Chuxia climbing up from the mud boy, carrying a basket and holding his trousers.

Just now, the mother and daughter were only focused on talking, and they didn't notice that there was another person below.

"Hey, uncle, Xiutao, you are here. Just in time, I'm touching snails down there, Xiutao, do you want to touch them together?"

Han Xiutao looked at the mud on her legs and felt extremely disgusted, so she quickly shook her head, "No, I can't."

Ming also frowned, and stared at her with some displeasure, "I said big girl, the five young masters and his sister from Li's mansion just passed by, right? You have guests at home, why don't you take good care of them and go by yourself What kind of snails are you digging, and they can’t be eaten, so why do you dig them!”

Han Chuxia smiled straightforwardly, "Auntie, you are wrong to blame me. These two nobles heard that this food can also be eaten, but they insisted on making it for me to eat. Hee hee, tonight, we all I plan to get some wild things. For example, these wild vegetables, and things that grow in the field mud."

Both Ming and Han Xiutao were annoyed.

Especially Han Xiutao snorted unhappily and lazily gave it a smile.

"Sister big girl, I didn't say you, when will noble people eat your food like wild vegetables in the mountains, this thing, even people in the countryside, don't like to eat it, you are so good, you actually use it Come to entertain the nobleman! Could it be that you feel that your face is too magnanimous, and people insist on giving it to you!"

This is mocking her big face.

Han Chuxia glanced at this young cousin with a half-smile and a half-smile.

"It's useless for us to argue about these things. The most important thing is that the nobles like them. Besides, even if they don't greet well, it seems to be embarrassing. It's embarrassing for Han Chuxia. Uncle and sister , won’t be tired by me.”

"You..." Han Xiutao knew it too, she choked a bit just now.However, being choked back by Han Chuxia's retort at this moment, the girl's family's face is still a bit unhappy.

Ming looked at these two people, and felt a little headache, "You are still a bit too selfish about this matter, girl. The nobles should treat you carefully, how can you be so casual. However, you have decided, we It's useless to say more, and that's it. Hurry up and wash your legs, let's go with Miss Gongzi."

Han Chuxia didn't know that the mother and daughter were asking her to be a companion, so they had the idea of ​​following along with shamelessness.Smiling and dimple shook his head as before, "Oh, no, Mr. Li Wu said that they want to go around by themselves. If it wasn't for accompanying my sister, I'm afraid that Mr. Five would have gone hunting in the mountains by now."

After finishing speaking, regardless of what the mother and daughter thought, they turned around and went to pick some fresh wild vegetables.

When the villagers barely had food to eat, there were quite a lot of wild vegetables in these fields.

Houttuynia cordata, wild celery, sprouts, dog ear leaves, rake root...

I was digging vigorously, but unexpectedly found that the mud was still a little loose.

It seemed that something was wriggling underneath.

I planed twice again.

"Ah, this is actually... a lobster."

There are actually lobsters hidden in this slightly damp mud.

This time, Han Chuxia became more energetic.

She thought of those crayfish in her previous life, but she was slanderous.

Without any explanation, I started digging along this mud ditch.

"There's another one, and here's one too... Oh my god, why didn't I know there are so many delicacies in this place before!"

Caught up, Han Chuxia was so excited that she almost didn't sing.

Some of the mud seemed to be arching and moving, and when I planed it, I designated a lobster.

After digging for a while, I accidentally found a crab.

As a result, Han Chuxia became even more excited.

"Mountain crabs are also crabs. This thing, after a while, my sister will fry it with egg batter. Eating fried dried crabs is also a good high-nutrition dish."

The little boys went to catch loaches, looked up, it seemed that the brothers and sisters of the Li family followed to watch the little boys catch small fish and catch loaches.

Han Chuxia struggled alone with relish.

This river ditch is winding, and the river is half dry. I thought there would be no good things.

But who ever thought that there are not only lobsters, but also earth crabs.

At the end of the digging, the foot was caught, and when I looked down, it turned out to be a river frog.

"Haha, my god, there are so many treasures in this river, I didn't know it before. There are so many foods just by touching it, so I won't have to worry about getting delicious food in the future."

After just touching for a while, there are about five catties of lobsters, two catties of earth crabs, and nearly ten large river frogs.

"This time it can be regarded as a bumper harvest."

Putting things aside, turning around and putting them in the back basket, Han Chuxia happily went home.

"Big girl, what are you carrying on your back? It's dripping with water?"

On the way, I met Mr. Li who was out to work. Mr. Li frowned and looked at the objects in the basket on her back.

Han Chuxia showed things.

"Here, there are some snails, river frogs, and such big guys."

Mr. Li looked at her "baby" basket, shook his head, and looked at her sympathetically, "Oh, the villagers still say that you are better now, but I just look at it, that's all. These river frogs There are also field snails, even if it is a disaster year, few people are willing to eat them. There are also these big things, which are scary to look at, and a strange insect, who likes to eat them. That is, you girl, maybe you don’t see oil for a long time Hun, are you slandering? Let me tell you, these things are useless."

After finishing speaking, the third master shook his head with a look of sympathy.

This can explain Han Chuxia's depression and laziness.

"Hehe, there are ways to eat if you are poor."

Hers is obviously a good thing, as for the taste, it depends on how you make it.

Chili sauce, I have it at home.

No cooking wine.

It can be mixed with bayberry wine.

As for the fishy smell?

This is even simpler.

After inducing vomiting with salt, add fresh Achnatherum splendens to soften and soak for half an hour.

Finally cleaned up, shelled, chopped, mixed with wild vegetable foam, and fried in a frying pan together.

If she was poor in the past, she really didn't want to use so much oil and salt to make these things that were only intended to be fragrant in the mouth, but not oily.

But now, if you have some spare cash and delicious items in your hand, of course you won't let them go.

Actually, when Li Shunan and his group came, they also brought some meat.

At noon, pork ribs were burned with pumpkin, and then a stir-fried wild vegetable was fried together with eggs.

In other words, it is also rich.But the Ming family kept complaining to the Li family brothers and sisters.

"Oh, the side dishes of this farmhouse are still too simple. I'll be the chef tonight and cook more food for the two nobles."

Li Shunan smelled the spicy aroma coming from the stove, his eyes were a little erratic. "No, I watched the big girl do these wonderful things."

Li Jialan couldn't wait, she left Han Xiutao who was still pestering her, and went to the kitchen.

"My good sister, what kind of food is so delicious that I don't even feel like eating it outside."

When she looked at the big lobster rolling in the pot, she screamed in fright...
