The Sweet Little Fulang

As before, Lu Gu and Shen Xuanqing both sat and rested when they came back. Ji Qiuyue was busy cooking, so Wei Lanxiang brought them something to eat to pad their stomachs.

Wei Lanxiang brought out a small bamboo plaque with dried red dates, persimmons and peanuts. She put down the small bamboo plaque for the two of them to eat, and said to Lu Gu, "In addition to our family's planted persimmons, there are also mountain persimmons you picked. , some dried persimmons, some cut into dried persimmons, but sweet."

"Try it first, don't eat too much, keep your stomach to eat." She specially warned that two little ones would be greedy and the persimmons would be difficult to digest.

The last time Lu Gu came back, he picked a lot of hard mountain persimmons, as well as those at home. The dried persimmons can be eaten for a long time. In winter, there are sweet snacks to eat, which are quite tough and chewy.

While talking, Shen Yan carried a basket of grass and entered the door. She heard the dog barking when she was mulching the grass at the back of the house. She knew that Lu Gu and the others had come back. , you are back."

Shen Xuanqing agreed, and when Lu Gu saw her coming, he wanted to touch the dried persimmon to eat with his dirty hands, and quickly handed it to her mouth. Shen Yan was not polite to him, she opened her mouth and bit it, smiled and chewed, and then put the bamboo basket down.

"The girl's family, wash your hands." Wei Lanxiang reprimanded her, but the smile on her face did not diminish, and she could not hear the meaning of reprimand.

Shen Yan scooped up a gourd of water and squatted down to wash his hands. Seeing the dried fish on the trolley, he said, "Brother Millet, you two have dried so much dried fish."

Lu Gu peeled a peanut and replied, "Well, keep what we have for the winter."

In the past two years, the Shen family had a hard time in winter. Shen Yan was young, and she was also afraid of cold and hunger. Her eyes widened when she heard this, and she realized that she didn't have to go hungry in winter. She was very happy, and nodded again and again: " Well, let's save it for winter, and when we want to eat fish tomorrow, we will use the branches to fish in the river, and save all these things, I just saw Zhuzi and they were fishing in the river."

Shen Xuanqing saw her younger sister's expression and knew that she was hungry for the past two years. At that time, the family rations were low. Even if he and Shen Yaoqing sometimes saved a few bites for the youngest Shen Yan to eat, it was still not enough. Suddenly, he was inevitably guilty, and sighed secretly in his heart. Fortunately, this year, he can eat and clothe himself, and his family does not have to suffer.

Lu Gu too, don't have to suffer anymore.

He turned his head to look beside him, and put the peeled peanuts into Lu Gu's hand. Even if he hadn't asked Lu Gu, he knew that he must have a bad time in Du Hehua's hands. Shen Yan had family members who were in pain and could still survive in winter. After eating a few mouthfuls of hot rice, Lu Gu will not be sure.

"Shen Yan, come in and serve a bowl of fried peppers." Ji Qiuyue shouted in the kitchen. She was busy cutting vegetables and couldn't open her hands, so she asked Shen Yan to go in to help and set the fire by the way.

Shen Yan ate another piece of dried persimmon before running in. Ji Qiuyue handed her the bowl and said, "Pick up more meat and eat it deliciously."

After resting for a while, Shen Xuanqing got up to unload things on the trolley, and Lu Gu and Wei Lanxiang also helped to move.

The prey this time doesn't look like much, just seven or eight live pheasants and hares, but in the big bamboo basket that Shen Xuanqing often carries, there are a total of twenty-five fox skins and six ugly fox skins. Among the remaining nineteen good skins were two silver fox skins, which were more valuable than the red ones.

In order to fight these fox furs, he ran a lot in the mountains. Not to mention the exhaustion, an old pair of shoes was worn out and could not be repaired. The shoes were indeed old enough, so they simply threw them away.

Wei Lanxiang touched the silver fox fur and couldn't stop smacking her lips, and said to Lu Gu, "I have heard people say that those old ladies and gentlemen in Fucheng love to wear silver fox fur, and they can afford it no matter how expensive it is."

Thinking of the shoes, Shen Xuanqing asked, "Mother, I broke a pair of shoes, do you have any at home?"

"Yes, I made two thick pairs for you, one single pair, and one pair that is getting the soles of your shoes, enough for you to wear." Wei Lanxiang looked at Shen Xuanqing's feet as she spoke, and wanted to make up if she could. repair.

Shen Xuanqing knew what she was thinking, and said, "I threw those pairs too old, the soles were too thin, and I was paddling on the mountain road, and the uppers were repaired once. , if it wasn't too far from the yard when it was punctured, the aisle would not be easy to walk."

When Wei Lanxiang heard this, she nodded and said, "It's really not easy to repair, so just throw it away, and mother will make you a few more new pairs."

After Wei Lanxiang looked at it, Shen Xuanqing put the fox skin back into the big bamboo basket and took it down, and went to Fucheng to sell it another day. The price is higher than that in Fenggu Town. The wolfberry and wild bath beads have not been moved. , Lu Gu took two handfuls of wild bath beads and came out to keep them at home. If they can be used for a while, Wei Lanxiang and the others don't have to go up the mountain to find them.

Ji Qiuyue was cooking in the kitchen, and poured it into the pot with a squeak, and it was cooked very quickly after stirring.

In addition to a bowl of fried autumn vegetables, because Shen Xuanqing loves eggs, Ji Qiuyue also gave them a plate of fried eggs and a bowl of fried chili peppers that are fragrant and spicy. Shen Xuanqing broke off a piece of steamed bun and wiped it clean.

The steamed buns with white flour were hot for them. They were soft and delicious. The egg residues and the oil from the bottom of the plate were bright yellow on the steamed buns. Shen Xuanqing didn't eat them, and handed them to Lu Gu.

The oil seeped into the steamed buns, and the oil was salty and delicious in one bite. There was also a little egg, not to mention the fragrance.

There were a lot of people in the morning session as usual. Today, the scooter was pulling less stuff, and Shen Xuanqing was obviously very relaxed.

The pheasant and rabbit are very small wild things that sell well, and the wild bath beads sell faster. When there are fewer people behind, there are two pheasants and one rabbit left. Shen Xuanqing estimated that the medical center was open, so he pushed the board The car took Lu Gu to the rice shop first.

I want to ask the owner of the rice shop if he wants game, and if he wants, sell it to him, and then go to the medical center to sell the wolfberry fruit, so that he can go home and rest, and he no longer has to stand and wait for the buyer.

There were also some wild bath beads left, and Shen Xuanqing shouted while pushing the cart forward: "Wild bath beads, let's take a look at the big wild bath beads. Five a penny, it's cheap."

When they shouted, someone really told them to stop. Even if they only bought three cents, the three coppers would still be credited.

When he walked further, Lu Gu also shouted, his eyebrows were curved, although his voice was a little quieter, but he was good-looking. Now that he has brought back some meat, his complexion has improved, and his smile is even more different from before. In the same way, except for a bit of cowardice, that kind of bowing his head, daring to look at people and dare not to speak, is no longer the humble and shrinking appearance.

In addition to rice, the rice shop also buys all kinds of beans, grains, and dry goods, as well as wolfberry fruit, but Shen Xuanqing did not open the lid of the basket of wolfberry fruit. He knew that the rice shop was sold at the market price of three cents and a tael, and the price charged was certain. It's two cents, and it's not worth it to sell it here, so I just show the wild things to the owner of the rice shop.

There are only three pheasants and rabbits in total. The owner of the rice shop and the owner of the grocery store next door bought them, and even some wild bath beads from Lu Gu.

Before leaving, Shen Xuanqing also bought some red beans and yellow rice. The house only grew fire beans, and he also used red beans to make porridge, and then mixed some yellow rice into it to make mixed rice porridge. The pheasants he sold were cheaper for the owner of the rice shop. , so when buying red beans and yellow rice, the owner of the rice shop also scooped a little more for him, and the two were friendly, so they didn't suffer.

After the medical center sold the wolfberry fruit, Lu Gu put the purse in his arms, and when he came out, he heard Shen Xuanqing say to buy Tang Pozi. His eyes lit up, and he was full of expectations and happiness. .
