Chapter 151: She can be weird too
It took Fu Jiani a while to react, and she chased after Gu Xiaoxi and asked, "Sister Gu, are Li Kun and the others going back?"
I didn't hear them talk about this on the way here!
Gu Xiaoxi nodded and said, "They have been out for a long time. They have to go back to the army to carry out their mission."
After saying this, she asked Qi Shuangshuang to watch the fire, and she went into the tent and fiddled around for a while, then picked up a small square box made of thin wooden boards with handles.
The small box is divided into four layers, and each layer is just big enough to hold ten pheasant eggs.
Gu Xiaoxi neatly placed the twenty eggs he had prepared earlier, then went to cut some grass, made twenty more soft egg trays, and filled the remaining two layers with eggs.
After installing it, she tested its firmness and then carried it over to show Qi Shuangshuang.
"How is it?"
Qi Shuangshuang opened it and took a look, looking at the small square box in amazement.
"It looks good, fits well, and isn't heavy. The design is quite clever. If my grandpa were to eat the eggs you prepared so carefully and sent all the way back, he would probably be moved to tears."
Gu Xiaoxi couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
"Then when I get back, I'll have to ask Grandpa Qi if he cried!"
As the two were laughing and joking, Lu Jiansen brought over a bag of freshly processed herbs.
"Wife, do you think this is okay?"
Gu Xiaoxi took a look and nodded, "Okay. All these herbs will take up two large woven bags. If you add in other things, Li Kun and Zhuan Zi will have to take a lot."
After hearing this, Zhuizi immediately said, "It's okay, these are just a small amount of stuff, no problem, I can carry two bags with one hand."
Li Kun also nodded, "It's not much, we can take it."
They can take as many as they want. At worst they can just report to the leader and have someone take over.
Gu Xiaoxi ignored them when he heard them say this, and turned around to deal with the unprocessed Chinese herbal medicines, simply air-drying them.
Qi Shuangshuang packed the food for Li Kun and Zhuzi, and as Xiaoxi had suggested, she cooked twenty extra pheasant eggs for them to eat on the train.
After two hours of busy work, Gu Xiaoxi, Lu Jiansen and others finally saw Li Kun and Zhuangzi off.
When he has some free time, Lu Jiansen starts to cook.
Egg custard, this time I cooked a big pot.
He simply stir-fried the remaining rabbit meat.
Qi Shuangshuang cooked rice silently, eagerly looking forward to eating soon.
Si Nanyu turned into a fire-burning tool throughout the whole process, silent and silent.
Gu Xiaoxi unexpectedly became the freest person at this moment.
Seeing that Fu Jiani was not in the tent, she exchanged her slightly dirty sleeping bag, big bag, clothes, worn shoes, used tableware and chopsticks for new ones, and quietly earned more than 30 points.
Just when she was distracted by managing the companion small space, Fu Jiani called Zhang Bingyi and Zhong Jue back.
No one knew what she had said to Zhang Bingyi and the others, but after they came back, they all looked unhappy.
Hearing the voices outside, Gu Xiaoxi walked out of the tent.
Zhang Bingyi saw her, tried to hold back, and still asked, "Xiaoxi, did you guys dig up ginseng?"
Seeing that he seemed to be hesitant to speak and was thinking before speaking, Gu Xiaoxi knew what he wanted to ask.
She nodded and said truthfully, "Yes, I dug it up. But I haven't gone to the place your grandfather marked yet. I was thinking of going there together when you come back."
"Really?" Zhang Bingyi felt mixed emotions, not knowing whether he believed it or not.
"Yeah! It's only been one day and we still have to move things. How far can we walk?" Gu Xiaoxi asked back.
Zhang Bingyi's face suddenly looked a little embarrassed.
Fu Jiani looked at Zhang Bingyi, then at Gu Xiaoxi, and couldn't help saying, "Sister Gu, it seems you have dug up seven or eight ginsengs, right? I see you have packed a lot of boxes in your bag."
Gu Xiaoxi glanced at her and said, "There are so many boxes because we found a sika deer and harvested its antlers."
Fu Jiani's expression changed, and the envy and jealousy on her face deepened.
Zhang Bingyi was also stunned for a moment, "Did you even cut the antlers?"
"Yes! After you went to sell the wild boars, our luck seemed to have become exceptionally good. We dug up five or six ginseng plants that were around ten years old! We also dug up some that were thirty years old. The rest of the time we spent cutting deer antlers." Gu Xiaoxi said lightly.
Isn't it just a weird tone and hidden meaning in what she says? She can do that too.
Without them, she was indeed luckier!
"You are so lucky!" Fu Jiani said dryly.
Gu Xiaoxi smiled and said, "You guys are really lucky. You have minks and wild boars, and you can sell them for money. I envy you so much."
"But ginseng and deer antlers are still valuable." Fu Jiani felt a little upset.
She originally thought that he and brother Zhong Jue were lucky and would make Gu Xiaoxi and the others jealous.
Gu Xiaoxi sighed in disappointment, "If there is no 100-year-old ginseng, my trip would be in vain. The place marked by Mr. Zhang said that there are ginsengs that are more than ten years old. I hope there is what I want. Let me make it clear first, if there is a 100-year-old ginseng, I will not give it to you."
At first she didn't want to say it so bluntly, but now Fu Jiani was obviously stirring up trouble, so she felt embarrassed.
She is not a soft persimmon!
Zhang Bingyi nodded with a red face, "I understand."
What Gu Xiaoxi meant was that if there was ginseng that was more than ten years old in the place marked by her grandfather, she would give it to him even if she found it, but she could forget about the rest.
In fact, when he asked her to dig ginseng, he didn't even think about getting her ginseng.
In fact, at first he even thought about helping her find a hundred-year-old ginseng.
He always knew that what she wanted was the hundred-year-old ginseng.
However, Fu Jiani was unaware of the situation and did not understand what Gu Xiaoxi meant, so she was quite unhappy.
In her opinion, the reason why Gu Xiaoxi and his friends were able to come to this mountain to dig ginseng was because of the guidance of Grandpa Zhang.
Regardless of whether they find ginseng or not, they should be treated well, and the ginseng they find should be counted as their share.
So, she calmly pulled Zhong Jue's clothes.
Zhong Jue glanced at her and felt a little frustrated.
If they had not gone to sell wild boars, and he had followed them, when they discovered ginseng and deer antlers, I think with his skills and cleverness, he would have been able to seize the initiative and dig up one or two ginseng plants.
But now that they were not here, he couldn't say anything.
Things on the mountain are not personal.
So, he ignored Fu Jiani's little action.
Gu Xiaoxi was too lazy to say anything at this point, so he simply asked, "We made lunch, do you want to eat?"
Zhang Bingyi looked at the sky. It was already past four o'clock, but they had just had lunch.
He was also a person who wanted to save face, so he refused, "No thanks."
Fu Jiani, who was about to agree, was dumbfounded and stared at Zhang Bingyi blankly.
He doesn't eat, but she wants to eat!
Just as she was about to speak, Gu Xiaoxi said, "Then you guys can do it later! We need to go to bed after dinner. We were so tired from chasing the sika deer last night that we didn't get any sleep."
Qi Shuangshuang kept her head down the whole time and secretly gave a thumbs up to Gu Xiaoxi's half-true and half-false lies!
