Chapter 17 Return with a Full Load
When Shen Yueyao heard Su Xueyi's words, her hands stopped moving and her body stiffened.
Is she suspected by Su Xueyi?
In just over a day, what did Su Xueyi discover?
Or maybe her performance is too different from her predecessor.
She had some guesses in her mind, thinking that maybe it was her attitude towards Old Madam Meng this afternoon that made Su Xueyi suspicious?
Shen Yueyao looked up at Su Xueyi and asked calmly, "Who do you think I am?"
Shen Yueyao's eyes were calm and clear, like a pool of clear water.
Su Xueyi's pair of calm and picturesque phoenix eyes seemed to contain a vast galaxy of stars.
He just stood there quietly, but he had an indescribable aura.
But no matter how strong his aura was, Shen Yueyao could still look him in the eye calmly, without avoiding or avoiding his gaze.
Su Xueyi sighed inwardly and said slowly, "I just feel that you might not be her. Thank you for today."
He was being too cautious.
The truth is that their family still has enemies.
For a moment, he even suspected that Shen Yueyao had been replaced by someone else, and someone had disguised themselves to look like her.
But no matter how much you disguise yourself, it is impossible to be exactly the same.
Shen Yueyao was stunned for a moment, then realized what Su Xueyi meant and shook her head: "No need to thank me, I just did what I should do."
"You don't have to doubt who I am. I am Shen Yueyao, the biological mother of the two treasures. I will not hurt you."
Originally, Shen Yueyao didn't have to say these words.
But she always felt that Su Xueyi was very alert, as if she was guarding against something, so she said this to explain it briefly.
Whether he believes it or not is his business.
Su Xueyi really didn’t believe what Shen Yueyao said.
If she had not changed her appearance and become a different person, then what she was doing now might have had other purposes.
What he said just now was just a test.
Su Xueyi just nodded lightly and went into the house.
Sure enough, he saw a book at the bedside.
He reached out and picked it up, flipping through it gently. When he saw the travel notes about customs and practices of various places recorded in the book, his expression became gentle and warm.
After cleaning the pig's offal, adding seasonings and stewing it in the pot, Shen Yueyao breathed a sigh of relief.
After working for a while, her arms were a little tired, but when she thought about making money, she was full of energy again.
Shen Yueyao added a few pieces of wood to the stove mouth, which could burn for a long time, so it was okay not to watch the pot.
After packing herself up, Shen Yueyao came into the house and said to Su Xueyi, "I'm going to go up the mountain. I have something cooking in the pot. Can you help me keep an eye on it for a while?"
Su Xueyi said calmly: "Okay."
Shen Yueyao was stunned. She thought Su Xueyi would neither answer nor agree, but she didn't expect him to nod.
…
Shen Yueyao took a small shovel and a backpack and went up the mountain.
I remember Lin Chi said there was a gourd on the east slope of the hill behind the mountain.
She walked in that direction and saw a pile of gourds.
Some of the vines growing on the ground have dried up, and many gourds have fallen off the vines, and some have even cracked.
There are quite a lot of gourds, both big and small.
Looking at the gourds on the mountain, Shen Yueyao was very happy.
"With so many gourds, we can make teapots, teacups, water cups, jars and other things."
Shen Yueyao brought a large backpack, but it couldn't hold so many gourds.
“Fortunately, there’s space.”
As she spoke, Shen Yueyao put some gourds into the space, and the backpack was soon full.
Then, Shen Yueyao continued walking into the mountains.
She wanted to see if there were things like star anise and pepper. If she found these, she wouldn't need to buy seasonings when making braised food in the future.
Although the seasonings she bought were enough to last for a while.
But as she walked in, Shen Yueyao suddenly found kudzu root in the field.
"No way, there's kudzu root here!"
Shen Yueyao remembered that winter, from December to February, was the season when kudzu root matured.
Thinking of this, she became excited and hurried over and started digging the kudzu roots with a small shovel.
She carefully dug up the soil around it. The kudzu roots were in the ground, so she had to dig up the soil with great effort and then dig out all the large pieces of kudzu roots.
"So many big kudzu roots!"
Shen Yueyao's excited heart was beating fast.
"I was thinking of making something to nourish my family, and Pueraria root is just right."
With Pueraria root, you can make Pueraria root powder, and you can also use Pueraria root to make vermicelli and rice noodles.
With vermicelli stewed with cabbage, the buns will taste better.
You can also use kudzu vermicelli to make stir-fried dishes and cold dishes, and you can also make hot and sour kudzu vermicelli.
Kudzu root powder can be mixed with eggs and kneaded into dough, which can also be used to make small pancakes, which are also delicious.
The key is that this thing is nutritious and good for the human body.
You can also drink it with Pueraria powder.
Thinking about these delicacies, Shen Yueyao felt hungry.
There is no way. In this era, the food culture is so backward. There is nothing to eat if you want to, and there are no ingredients if you want to cook by yourself.
Now that I have found Pueraria powder, I can finally improve the conditions at home a little bit.
At least I have something to eat, so I won’t be hungry.
Shen Yueyao was digging kudzu roots with great effort.
"The backpack can't hold it, so I have to put it in the space."
Shen Yueyao wanted to dig up all the kudzu roots in this area and put them in the space, but her strength was limited, so she could only dig out a part of it.
I was still busy, and as the sun was setting, it was already mid-afternoon.
She also had to rush home to cook dinner.
That's all I can dig.
She hadn't even gone into the forest to look, so she didn't know what was inside.
Shen Yueyao returned with a full load, "I have to say that the ancient times had their advantages. The mountains and forests are full of treasures."
As Shen Yueyao walked down the mountain, the farmers who were cultivating the fields at the foot of the mountain also carried their farm tools back home.
It's the beginning of spring and every household is not very busy.
In the village, wisps of smoke were rising from the chimneys of many houses, carrying a strong smell of worldly life.
Looking at the pastoral scenery, Shen Yueyao felt her heart become calm and peaceful.
The atmosphere here is really suitable for health preservation, the pace is slow and makes people feel comfortable.
Although the conditions are difficult, it would be great if we could have enough to eat and some money in our hands.
When Shen Yueyao was walking in the village with a basket on her back, she could hear the sound of children playing when she passed by many people's houses.
Some were playing hide-and-seek, some were gathered together and talking about something, it was quite lively.
In the village, every household has many children, and the adults let them run around. Children aged five or six will help with housework.
Growing up in such an environment, everyone is very tough.
However, when someone saw Shen Yueyao, his face changed, “Quick, it’s that bad woman.”
"Get out of the way quickly, bad women will hit and curse at you."
Someone saw Shen Yueyao, and everyone hurriedly hid behind the trees and watched Shen Yueyao quietly.
"Is this the mother of Dabao and Erbao?"
"Yes, that's her. I saw her beat Dabao and Erbao before. She also scolded them, saying that Dabao and Erbao didn't do their work well."
"Dabao and Erbao are so pitiful. My mother only beats me when I get into trouble. Whenever I run fast, my mother doesn't want to beat me."
