After eating dumplings, Yang Lihua arranged for everyone to stay.
The whole day, I'm either drinking or talking. Although it's not physically demanding, it's still tiring.
He Xiong slept in the same room with the old man, while Mr. Huang lived with Yongning. Yongning was very happy and talked with his cousin until three in the morning. He admired his cousin very much and decided to study harder in the future!
On the second day, there was nothing interesting to see in the village, and going into the city... was not convenient given the identities of Mr. Huang and He Xiong, so the old man led them into the mountains again.
Because Young Master Huang was there, He Xiong specially called a few more veterans, fearing that something might happen to this "big Buddha". If that happens, not only the Tai family but also he would be in trouble.
But Old Master Tai didn't take this big Buddha seriously. No, it can be said that the entire Tai family didn't take the word "prince" seriously. It was as if Young Master Huang was just a relative of the family, and they treated him in a close and casual manner.
On the way up the mountain, Mr. Huang carried the fat girl almost all the time. The fat girl was only responsible for eating snacks. The snack crumbs stained Mr. Huang's clothes, but he still smiled and showed no sign of losing his temper.
The fat girl had no idea what was wrong. She held the snacks in her chubby hands and fed her cousin a bite from time to time.
Tai Yonglu, Tai Yongyue, Chen Ruiyang and others were running around, occasionally pulling out their slingshots to shoot stones, scaring the birds away, and they would laugh!
Of course, when they see their sister feeding their cousin, they will run over to protest, and then each of them will be stuffed with a piece of snack and run away!
When they arrived at the cabin, the boys were assigned tasks, some fetching water, some sweeping dust, and some chopping wood. Young Master Huang also tucked in his long gown to help chop wood. Xizi hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, but was glared at by him and ran away!
So, in front of the simple wooden house in the mountains, the prince of the dynasty was chopping wood, and the fat girl sat on a wooden block, clapping her hands and cheering for her cousin, adding a bit of vitality and liveliness to the mountains and forests...
The old man was also in a good mood. He took the new knife given by the general and invited He Xiong to go hunting with him. He Xiong immediately agreed and was very happy to escape from this magical cabin where the prince worked as a hard laborer!
An hour later, when they came back with a musk deer, two rabbits and a flying dragon, they saw Young Master Huang sitting on a wooden stool with a strange look on his face. The fat girl in front of him was busy with her back to the crowd, and a sesame ball was squatting next to him, wagging its tail!
As for the big black horse and the big white horse, they continued to show affection while eating grass in their nests, and occasionally turned their lips, and I don’t know what gossip they were talking about...
The old man shouted loudly, "Zhuzhu, look what good stuff grandpa brought back for you?"
The fat girl immediately turned her head and responded happily, "Grandpa is amazing, so much flesh!"
The old man laughed and walked forward with He Xiong. When he was about to say something, he looked down and saw the moss in his granddaughter's hand, and his face froze.
The fat girl put a piece of birch bark, and there was black soil in the bark, and in the black soil... there was a ginseng with its head exposed!
Obviously, the fat girl was busy stuffing moss in, having a lot of fun!
"Zhuzhu..." The old man finally understood why Mr. Huang looked so strange.
Zhuzhu finally remembered what her grandfather had told her, and she hid her chubby hands behind her back guiltily. But when she saw the glittering ginseng on the ground, she lost her temper again, lowered her head and said pitifully, "Grandpa, Zhuzhu is disobedient, and she is looking for the ginseng doll again!
"But mother cried last night. She said my cousin had suffered. I thought Zhuzhu was asleep, but she heard it all! Zhuzhu found a ginseng doll to nourish my cousin. My cousin got fat after eating it, and mother stopped crying!"
Who would be willing to blame such a kind and lovely fat girl!
The old man quickly picked up his granddaughter, pulled up his sleeve to wipe the dirt off her face, and whispered to her, "Be good, Zhuzhu, grandpa doesn't blame you! Our Zhuzhu is the kindest little fairy, she knows how to feel sorry for her mother and cousin!"
The fat girl's big eyes immediately lit up, and she nodded her little head, with her little braids trembling stubbornly.
"Yeah, Zhuzhu is the kindest little fairy!"
"Okay, my little fairy, go play. Let grandpa take care of this ginseng doll. We'll deal with the musk deer later, and grandpa will make barbecue on the stone slab for you!" The old man patted his chubby granddaughter on the back, coaxing her to jump and go find her brothers.
He Xiong and Mr. Huang were left looking at the ginseng on the ground, still without saying a word.
Old Master Tai coughed dryly twice and whispered, "Well... well, our Zhuzhu is young and has a sharp eye. She occasionally finds some good things in the woods. In the past, the family would always stop her, fearing that outsiders would find out and harm Zhuzhu. After all, this girl was kidnapped before, and the family was almost worried to death..."
Young?
Bright eyes?
Find some good stuff occasionally?!
He Xiong and Mr. Huang looked at each other and both felt that they were being coaxed like children.
If a young person with sharp eyes could find such a three-hundred-year-old precious ginseng, I wonder how many families would abandon their children into the woods!
But they also understood the old man's ideas and admired him very much.
The Tai family has such a wealthy granddaughter, but instead of thinking about searching for treasures and becoming rich and powerful, they try their best to stop her for her safety.
It's obvious that children are more important than money!
Old Master Tai quickly stuffed the moss, tied up the birch bark, and then handed it to Young Master Huang. "Kangcheng, since Zhuzhu found it for you, you should keep it well. If you need it in the future, you won't be in trouble."
"Grandpa, I can't..." Young Master Huang was about to refuse subconsciously.
But Old Master Tai waved his hand, "Don't say it's expensive. I found it in the mountains, and it wasn't bought with money at home. Besides, it was given to you by Zhuzhu. If you don't want it, she will think you don't like her and it's time to throw away her money."
Mr. Huang wanted to say something, but when he turned around and saw that He Xiong's eyes were about to grow hooks, he immediately hugged the bark tightly.
"Thank you, Grandpa. I will definitely keep it well. Next time I come, I will bring more good things for Zhuzhu!"
The old man didn't care and laughed, "Zhuzhu likes delicious snacks and things like that. Fabric suitable for making skirts is also fine. Don't bring anything expensive. Not only would it be a waste of money, she wouldn't like it either."
He Xiong quickly said, "We have a lot of delicious snacks at the border. When I bring people over to harvest the crops, I will definitely bring some more for Zhuzhu."
Old Master Tai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he replied, "Okay, next time I come across something good like this, I'll definitely keep it for you."
He Xiong was so happy. This precious ginseng was absolutely necessary for saving lives, and no matter how much he had, it was never too much!
At noon, everyone stewed flying dragon soup, roasted musk deer meat on a clean stone slab, and roasted a rabbit whole. The taste may not be very good, but the taste is original and has the freedom of the mountains!
It was not until the sun went down that everyone, young and old, along with the dog and the horse couple, returned home contentedly!
Liu Dongniang was worried about the greasy food they had eaten in the mountains, so she prepared boiled noodles with gravy for dinner.
The chewy hand-rolled noodles were cooked until tender, and served with egg sauce, cucumber shreds and a little minced garlic. Everyone who ate it did so without raising their heads or eyes.
