MTL - The Sweet Little Fulang-Chapter 22
As soon as he picked up the golden honey nest, he could see the honey flowing slowly through a small opening. Lu Gu was still a little worried and pitiful, but when he saw that the honey was about to drip down, he quickly turned around and said, "I'll go. Get a bowl."
Shen Xuanqing wrapped the honey nest in a big leaf and followed him. The bamboo basket was placed at the gate of the courtyard without carrying it, and said, "There is not an empty jar next to the stove, but that one is used."
After listening to him, Lu Gu took the jar up to wash and dry it with a towel.
Shen Xuanqing took the small wooden shovel on the chopping board, which Lu Gu used when turning the cake. It was cleaner, unlike the wooden shovel for cooking.
The honey nest is not that hard, and can be cut or squeezed with a wooden shovel. Lu Gu put the small pot on the chopping board and couldn't help but stand here and watch the honey flow into the pot. The two stood together, if it wasn't for Shen Xuanqing Too high, I'm afraid I'll be head to head.
The golden honey is bright and smells mellow and sweet. The honeycomb nests in the mountains are not only on the trees. There are clumps of honeycombs under the cover of weeds and wildflowers. Some of them build honeycombs in underground holes. When you dig the soil, you can see rows of honeycombs. Take the time to find it.
Shen Xuanqing found a honeycomb nest in the grass today. The honey couldn't flow completely, and when it was squeezed, it couldn't flow any more. He picked a better place and broke it off and handed it to Lu Gu.
Seeing Lu Gu hesitating, obviously he hadn't eaten it before, he whispered, "If you can eat it, just chew a sweet taste, don't swallow it."
When he was a child, his mother gave him honey water when he was there. He also used chopsticks to dip pure honey into his mouth and let him taste it, but Honey Nest had never eaten it. When he heard it was edible, Lu Gu took a careful bite.
The mellow taste made his eyes widen as soon as he entered it, and Shen Xuanqing, who looked at him, smiled unconsciously.
Speaking of which, Shen Xuanqing was only more than half a year older than Lu Gu, and her young enough face actually had a bit of greenness on her face. With this smile, the steadfastness and maturity of the past day faded, and there seemed to be warmth in her eyes, like the sun in the sky. It made Lu Gu feel at ease for some reason, and even the stupid appearance that he had never eaten good food didn't feel so embarrassed.
He was thinking again, Shen Xuanqing is a good person, and he gave him such a sweet honey nest, and he would not really laugh at him for not having a good meal.
"Don't throw it away, keep it for you to eat every day." Shen Xuanqing broke a small piece for himself, and put the squeezed and deformed honey nest into the bowl.
The sweet taste overflowed in the mouths of the two, no matter how bad their emotions were, they were appeased. Before Lu Gu had finished eating, he asked, "Are you hungry? I stewed the fish."
As soon as he entered the kitchen, he smelled spicy and spicy, but since the honey was important, Shen Xuanqing hadn't even asked. He nodded and said frankly, "I'm hungry."
After a day of running in the mountains, I brought a few miscellaneous buns as dry food, how could I not be hungry.
Lu Gu Michao didn't eat it either. He lifted the lid of the pot and brought out the rice soup, and then added a large bowl of stewed fish. Although he had been stewing for a long time, the water did not stick to the pot, but the fish on the bottom of the pot was a little burnt. Seasoning and salt are also added, the taste is not too bad.
By the time the food was served, it was getting dark outside.
Shen Xuanqing moved the bamboo basket in and secured the gate of the courtyard. It was getting dark quickly, so the two of them had to light oil lamps that were not usually used.
The dogs were wandering around, Shen Xuanqing threw a steamed bun for each of them in the basin, and nibbled them at will, so as not to come over when they were eating, and said to Lu Gu, "No need to feed them at night, they caught a few big bamboo rats before they came back. , has been roasted and eaten."
Da Hui and the others are used to eating leftovers with people. The bones and sticks are all stewed and left with some meat for the three of them to eat, so they are used to eating cooked food. After catching something, Shen Xuanqing found a safe place. I made a fire and roasted it at will, and by the way, I rolled some water in a bamboo tube for myself to drink.
Farmers' dogs sometimes can't eat at home, and they go outside to find food without worrying about themselves. Country people have long been used to it, but they can grab a big bamboo rat and eat it, which sounds very powerful to Lu Gu. .
The cake baked in the afternoon is still fluffy by now, and the thick cake itself can be eaten cold without reheating.
Although the fish stewed by Lu Gu is not as good as Ji Qiuyue and Wei Lanxiang, this is the first time he has made it, and it is not bad to be able to do it like this.
Shen Xuanqing didn't know if it was the first time. For him, after hunting, he could eat a bite of hot rice and hot dishes without having to cook it himself.
Such a big fish and Lugu couldn't be eaten, at least two or three meals, but with Shen Xuanqing, at the end there was only soup left.
This soup is so numb and spicy that the dog can't eat it and throw it all away. It's not a pity as long as the meat is finished.
It was getting dark, and Lu Gu was washing pots and dishes in the kitchen. He used to recognize it by the moonlight, but not long after Shen Xuanqing came in with an oil lamp, the kitchen was much brighter.
"Bur some water, I'll wash it at night, and there's a lot of soil in the woods." Shen Xuanqing put the oil lamp away, and went to the firewood room to hold the firewood.
Because it was a matter of taking a bath, he didn't look into Lu Gu's eyes when he was talking, and he was tired when he came back from normal. If the body is dirty and sweaty, isn't it dirtying his husband.
The fire at the bottom of the pot ignited again, and the fire was bright and dignified, reflecting on people's faces. After Lu Gu blew out the oil lamp, he sat back in front of the stove to add firewood.
Shen Xuanqing came in with a bamboo basket from the outside, he didn't know what was going on, and turned his face subconsciously.
Seeing his dazed eyes, Shen Xuanqing moved his Adam's apple slightly, walked to the stove and squatted down, and took out the things in the bamboo basket by the firelight.
At the top is a piece of cloth, which is usually sold on the street and spread on the ground. Otherwise, if it is directly placed on the ground and stained with soil, some people in the town will be picky.
Lu Gu originally thought that the cloth ball was going to be put aside, but he didn't expect that there were layers of eggs inside, which looked like eggs.
"I caught a hemp-tailed bamboo chicken, and the female was so scared that she gave birth to an egg as soon as she caught it." Shen Xuanqing's voice brought a smile.
He put the egg into Lu Gu's hand, and took out the hemp rope from the big bamboo basket. Below is the hemp-tailed bamboo chicken. It's not dead yet. Chickens are not very courageous. Not much angry.
In addition to this bamboo chicken, there are two fat-headed pigeons and a pair of wild rabbits. It moved and looked like it was dead, but it was just suspended animation.
Now Shen Xuanqing's hunting skills are pretty good, even the dogs have been trained. Bamboo chickens only have their wings injured, and they are alive just like rabbits. If the prey is taken out of the dog's mouth, the prey will be killed. Generally, this kind of thing cannot be waited for too long, so it is necessary to go down the mountain as soon as possible to sell it.
Living things are easy to handle. After raising them for a few days, I gathered a bunch of things and took them down the mountain to sell them together, saving me a trip.
Lu Gu held the egg and watched Shen Xuanqing take out one thing after another, even if it wasn't for him, but the joy of this harvest can make people feel happy just by looking at it.
No wonder it took a lot of time to go all day.
He thought about it now, Shen Xuanqing often went into the mountains, and naturally knew how to avoid danger. In the afternoon, because he was too scared, he was scared to death by his wild thoughts. After that, Shen Xuanqing would often go hunting, no matter how scared he was. Gotta get used to it.
He secretly felt embarrassed and embarrassed, but fortunately Shen Xuanqing didn't know what he was thinking.
Shen Xuanqing emptied all the things upside down, then looked up and said to Lu Gu, "This rabbit is still alive. If we can keep it, it happens to be a pair. We can raise rabbits and sell them when they grow up."
Hearing this, Lu Gu hesitated and asked in a low voice, "Then I make a cage for them?"
He knows how to weave bamboo cages. Lu Daxiang can’t find part-time jobs during his slack. He will go up the mountain to chop bamboo, cut bamboo strips and weave things and sell them. He also has to weave.
Hearing this, Shen Xuanqing pushed the rabbit to his feet and said, "Well, I'll keep it for you. It's easy to support. It's enough to pull some grass outside, and you don't even need water."
There are green grass everywhere in the forest, and there is no need to run far, Lu Gu nodded in response.
At this time, the water boiled, and Shen Xuanqing first got up and lifted the lid of the pot. Seeing that there was a lot of water, his throat tightened, and he turned his head and asked, "Would you like to wash it first?"
Lu Gu was obviously a little flustered. When they were down the mountain, Ji Qiuyue and the others would boil a pot of water to scrub every few days. When there was no man at home, even he scrubbed with him a few times, although it was not as good as washing with a bathtub. Pay attention, it is also very good.
The two days of work and travel are naturally stained with dust. If he can scrub with hot water, it would be better. Besides, he himself did not dare to refuse Shen Xuanqing. In the end, he lowered his head and said "OK" like a mosquito , and fortunately it was just the two of them here, and there was no other movement, otherwise Shen Xuanqing would not have heard it.
—
The two took turns scrubbing in the kitchen. The bottom of the stove was on fire. As soon as the kitchen door was closed, it felt a little warm and not too cold.
Lu Gu didn't dare to delay, he lay down after washing hastily, there was no light in the room, his ears were slightly hot in the night, and it didn't subside for a long time.
When he was scrubbing, Shen Xuanqing was waiting in the West Room, and the door didn't come out, but for a pair of children who didn't know anything about personnel, knowing that he was **** and scrubbing was enough to make him feel hot and not dare to see anyone.
Shen Xuanqing washed his hair and added firewood in front of the stove to bake for a long time. After a long delay, Lu Gu's shyness subsided after entering, and he was already sleepy.
There were more people in the quilt, and being so close, Lu Gu could smell the smell of wild bath beads in Shen Xuanqing's hair. It was light and clean.
It was so cold at night that he didn't dare to wash his hair, but he was still very angry. He thought again that he would wash his hair tomorrow when the sun was shining at noon, otherwise, if it was dirty, he would be disgusted and rejected.
It was getting late, the two of them didn't speak in the dark, and each fell asleep thinking about their thoughts.
In the middle of the night, Lu Gu, who was supposed to be asleep, woke up in a daze. He dreamed that his hands and feet were tied and uncomfortable. He never thought that when he woke up, he found himself in Shen Xuanqing's arms.
Being held by such a tall man, he was so frightened that he immediately woke up, his heart seemed to tremble, tremblingly tried to roll back from the man's embrace, but Shen Xuanqing moved, but hugged him tighter .
He clings to that hard and strong chest, broad and powerful, unshakable.
Lu Gu is neither tall nor short. He is an ordinary boy. Sometimes he can show some height when he encounters a short one, but in front of the overly tall Shen Xuanqing, he is like a skinny chicken. Holding it in someone else's arms doesn't even have a chance to struggle.
His heart was beating non-stop. The heat and pressure on the young and strong man made him panic. He was nervous in the dark, but the person holding him never let go, as if he had slept too much. Shen, he didn't even wake up to move.
