Chapter 149 I'm a little aroused!
The two returned to the place where they had rested before.
Lu Jiansen reignited the fire that had just been extinguished.
Gu Xiaoxi picked up Lu Jiansen's military water bottle from the ground and cleaned the earthenware jar that had previously contained the chicken soup.
Then he poured all the water from his mini water bottle into the clay pot and put twenty pheasant eggs in to boil.
Don’t worry if you cook too much, you can eat it directly in your pocket.
It doesn't take long to boil eggs, just eight minutes.
After taking out the boiled eggs, she washed the clay pot, grabbed a few handfuls of rice from her bag, and cooked some egg porridge.
Qi Shuangshuang, who was still working hard to dig ginseng, could smell the aroma of porridge from a distance.
She looked at Si Nanyu and said, "How about we eat first and then continue digging?"
Si Nanyu smiled and nodded, "I think it's okay."
Anyway, ginseng won’t run away, and they are not in a hurry.
Five minutes later, the four of them were eating egg porridge and began to express various emotions.
"I think this pheasant egg is indeed something special. It tastes more fragrant and delicate, right?" Si Nanyu was looking at Lu Jiansen when he said this.
Lu Jiansen nodded, "It does taste better."
"I feel there is a faint smell of ginseng. Is it my illusion?" Qi Shuangshuang said in a serious tone.
Gu Xiaoxi kept laughing. "You just exaggerated your feelings. I counted them. In addition to the ones I just cooked, there are 132 pheasant eggs. When the time comes, take some back for your grandfather and Dean Chen to taste."
Qi Shuangshuang couldn't help laughing when she heard this, "I'm just afraid that the mountain is too steep and the eggs will break before I get home."
"That's a problem. We'll think of a solution when the time comes."
After eating the porridge, everyone tasted the boiled pheasant eggs.
It turns out that boiled pheasant eggs are more fragrant and have a purer taste.
Gu Xiaoxi ate one pheasant egg and couldn't eat any more, so she took a knife, cut some grass nearby, and started weaving.
Lu Jiansen thought she was playing at first, but later he realized that the little girl had woven a soft and thick egg holder that was just the right size for a pheasant egg.
Gu Xiaoxi tried the size, woven twenty of them in a row, and then put twenty pheasant eggs in them.
"Shuangshuang, what do you think? Let's make a small box, put some soft grass or leaves in it, and then put the eggs in it. That way, they won't break easily, right?"
Qi Shuangshuang nodded in admiration, "Xiaoxi, how did you get such long hands? You can weave something so beautiful with straw."
Gu Xiaoxi smiled and said, "This is actually very simple. If you want to learn, you can learn it quickly. I have been in poor health since I was a child, so I can only stay at home most of the time and cannot go out to play. So my grandmother taught me to make various handicrafts to pass the time. My grandmother also taught me to learn embroidery before!"
Qi Shuangshuang was very surprised when she heard this. "So, can you still embroider?"
"I know a little bit. Later, my grandfather said that embroidery hurts the eyes, so he stopped my grandmother from embroidering and stopped me from learning. Later, my grandmother started teaching me how to make clothes."
"Your grandma is so nice!" Qi Shuangshuang said enviously.
"But your grandpa is good! My grandpa and grandma are not good. They don't like me."
Qi Shuangshuang was stunned. "You are so nice, how could anyone dislike you?"
Gu Xiaoxi laughed, "When my grandparents see me, they treat me like an enemy. It's not a question of whether they like me or not, they simply hate me. I don't have a good relationship with my eldest uncle's family, my third uncle, and my aunt. There are so many people who don't like me."
Lu Jiansen, who was listening quietly, suddenly rubbed her head and said softly: "It doesn't matter if they like it, as long as I like it!"
Gu Xiaoxi: “…”
Suddenly I didn't know what to say.
I'm a little excited!
However, I still feel a little shy and uncomfortable.
They aren't the only two here!
When Qi Shuangshuang heard this, she had a very happy expression on her face, and the smile in her eyes was so happy.
Si Nanyu held back his laughter, and looked like he had learned something!
Lu Jiansen, who is usually indifferent to others, is actually like this when he likes someone!
"Now that we have dug up the ginseng, should we continue looking for more?" Qi Shuangshuang stood up, picked up a small shovel and asked.
These freshly dug ginsengs still need to be processed simply, which also takes time.
Gu Xiaoxi didn’t know either, so she looked at Lu Jiansen.
Although she had never asked him, she knew in her heart that the army allowed him to come and bring Li Kun and Zhui Zi to Jiling, it was impossible that they did so just to help her dig ginseng.
After weighing the pros and cons, Lu Jiansen looked at his little girl and said, "Let's have Li Kun and Zhuo Zi take the ginseng and Chinese herbs we dug up these past two days back to Dean Chen. We will go back a few days later."
Gu Xiaoxi nodded, "Okay."
All they want is the hundred-year-old ginseng; nothing else matters.
When Qi Shuangshuang heard them say this, she immediately went to dig up the remaining ginseng.
Judging from the time, Li Kun and the others should be back on the mountain soon.
Gu Xiaoxi did not go with them to dig ginseng, but looked for it nearby.
This time she didn't find any ginseng, but she did dig up a lot of Chinese herbal medicine.
At ten o'clock, everyone packed up and prepared to go down the mountain.
In order to avoid taking the wrong path, Gu Xiaoxi silently determined the direction, calculated the distance in his mind, and then ran ahead to lead the way.
On the way down the mountain, she dug up a lot of Chinese herbal medicines, like a happy and beautiful butterfly.
Lu Jiansen's eyes were almost always fixed on the little girl, always worried that she would fall if she ran too fast.
…
At the same time, Li Kun and Zhuangzi, who had returned from Daji City, had found the tent that Lu Jiansen and his team had moved over.
Seeing the empty camp, Fu Jiani looked regretful.
"They're not here!"
Li Kun ignored her and silently opened the kettle and took a sip of water.
Fu Jiani, who had been climbing the mountain for a whole morning, was very hungry. Seeing that the pot on the stove was covered with a lid, she immediately opened it.
Her eyes lit up when she found a large pot of blanched rabbit meat inside.
"Brother Zhong Jue, we have rabbit meat. Let's cook it!"
Zhang Bingyi was stunned for a moment, and whispered: "If they are not here, will this be a bad thing?"
After all, they didn't leave any wild boar for them.
Fu Jiani raised her eyebrows. "What's wrong with that? There are plenty of prey in the mountains anyway. Brother Zhong Jue can just kill a few."
While chewing on a steamed bun, Zhui Zi said, "Didn't you buy food? Cook that and eat it. I asked you to save some wild boar meat before, but you refused. Now you can't take advantage of others."
Fu Jiani was choked. "I have already agreed on the price with them, and you just said to leave some wild boar meat. If I say it again, wouldn't that be going back on my word?"
Zhuanzi was too lazy to argue with her and continued to eat his steamed bun.
Zhong Jue looked a little embarrassed, and quickly reached out and pulled Fu Jiani's arm, "Didn't we buy food at the state-owned hotel? Let's eat that first."
