Chapter 1191 Farmer Cooking
Emotionally aroused, Qiao Xuan sighed softly, looked at Shao Yunduan and said faintly: "I miss Xiaoqi a little bit, and I don't know if he is doing well in the military camp. It's colder where he is than here, right? I don't know how much snow has fallen this year, and I wonder if he is cold."
Shao Yunduan's heart tightened slightly, he was also concerned about his younger brother.
Gently brushing off the snow on Qiao Xuan's shoulders, Shao Yunduan smiled and said, "Don't worry, he has been tough since he was a child, and he has a good archery skill, so he will not suffer any loss. After the New Year, I will ask someone to find out."
Qiao Xuan smiled brightly: "That's great, don't forget it!"
"My dear," Shao Yunduan laughed helplessly, "Xiao Qi is my brother, how could I forget him?"
It was as if Qiao Xuan was her biological sister-in-law, and he, her biological brother, was not.
Qiao Xuan herself laughed.
"I plan to go back next spring. You have to get the news before then. I will take it back and tell mom and the others. You don't know that mom and the others are also worried about Xiao Qi. They didn't dare to ask me anything. How could I not see it? She was afraid that if she opened her mouth, she would let you ask about it and she was afraid that it would embarrass you."
Shao Yunduan nodded: "Don't worry!"
The mountain breeze blew, and the snow on the branches fell down, raising a cloud of snow mist.
Shao Yunduan shook her hand and said with a smile: "It's getting late, let's go down the mountain!"
Qiao Xuan looked around and realized that she had to go back to the city. She had seen everything she should have seen and got the game, so it was time to go back.
The two men carried the prey and went down the mountain along the same route.
Song Shi saw them from afar, and quickly ran over to take the pheasants and rabbits from their hands, and said happily with a smile on his face: "Master Wu and Madam Wu are really amazing, I didn't expect that they could pick up rabbits and pheasants, hehe!"
Qiao Xuan said with a smile: "It's just that the sudden snow scared them silly. Don't tell your neighbors this when you go back. It's too fake! Just say we bought it from the farmer!"
"Oh, yes, Madam Five!"
Now feeling hungry, Song Shi got on the carriage and drove to a nearby village. He knocked on a farmer's door and asked for a place to cook lunch.
There happened to be some pheasants and rabbits available, so the peasant woman killed one each and stewed them, and they would be ready to eat soon.
Of course, the two of them couldn't finish so much, so they shared a bowl with the peasant woman's child.
The lives of the people in the suburbs of Beijing were much better than those in the poor and remote areas of Heshan County, but they could not eat meat often. The three children of the peasant woman were very happy, but she felt a little embarrassed because she had charged two cents of silver for the meal. She did not expect the guests to be so generous and kept thanking her.
The dishes cooked in a big pot, a big stove and a lot of firewood are always delicious. In addition, the ingredients are fresh. Just adding ginger, garlic and some radish cubes, the pheasant stewed and the roasted rabbit are particularly fragrant.
Two large bowls were served, steaming hot and fragrant, and Qiao Xuan was immediately tempted.
“It smells delicious!”
Unexpectedly, when the two were about to start eating, another uninvited guest arrived.
They were a master and two servants who were traveling in a snowy storm and wanted to take a break and eat something.
The farm woman's yard was not big. As soon as the master and two servants came in, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan saw them as soon as they turned around from the house.
A servant smiled and asked the peasant woman, "Sister-in-law, we are tired from traveling, and we want to eat and drink something to warm ourselves up. Don't worry, we are not eating for free, we are paying you. What kind of meat do you have? It smells so good. Can you give us some?"
