Chapter 105 Jinjiang First Release Chapter 105 Fang Shu is a Hundred Years...
Within a few days, everyone in Xiaxi Village knew that a distinguished guest had come to the Fang family.
They didn't know how much it cost, and they didn't dare ask. They only knew that those who were friendly with the Fang family got along well with these distinguished guests. Especially those brothers, who were almost always together. Yu Qinglong was their backbone, and he took them out to play and work together every day.
People passing by the Fang family can smell the delicious aroma coming from inside from time to time, but they don’t know what they are doing.
Yu Qinglong asked for lotus leaf roast chicken, so his family slaughtered a chicken for him. This wasn't just roasted; the cleaned chicken was filled with soaked wood ear mushrooms and mushrooms, along with day lily and tofu skin. The chicken was marinated, wrapped in lotus leaves, and roasted, resulting in a juicy and tender dish. The wild vegetables and tofu skin soaked up the chicken broth, leaving them incredibly tender and glutinous.
But Yu Qinglong can not only roast chicken, he can also do other things.
Originally, they planned to make hot pot the day after Qin Yushuang and the others arrived, but after Yu Qinglong went out to take a look, he felt that the wild vegetables were still a little small and would taste better after a few days of growth, so he postponed the matter for the time being.
During those few days, lunch included spring rolls, steamed buns with various fillings, flower rolls, porridge, noodles, and rice. There were also stir-fried beef with onions, steamed meatballs with cabbage and vermicelli, shredded pork wraps with sauce, minced pork and bamboo shoots, fried noodles, dumplings, and sweet and sour spare ribs...
It doesn’t feel like eating at a farmer’s house at all!
This caused Qin Yushuang and Yuan Sihan to gain weight within a few days of arriving. It was impossible not to be. They walked around all day, either playing or working, expending enormous amounts of energy. Their moods were high, and everything they ate at the Fang family's house seemed delicious. Forget about the delicious meals; even dry buns with a little sauce were enough to eat in large quantities. It would be strange if they weren't fat.
Yuan Sihan watched as his complexion grew increasingly rosy, and he looked healthier and more energetic than when he first arrived. Although he was a little tanned, he looked full of energy and vitality, and he began to smile more often when he spoke.
Seeing the satisfactory results, Hong Huan took him to Shangxiaxi Village every day without hesitation.
Yu Qinglong decided to make hot pot that day. Before leaving, he soaked a handful of black fungus and tofu skin. He then took Qin Yushuang and Yuan Sihan, each carrying a basket and a small shovel, to collect wild vegetables. This season, they had shepherd's purse, as well as radish, artemisia selengensis, garlic chives, dandelions, and young thorn shoots.
Yu Qinglong hadn't recognized them all before, but now he knew almost all of them. It was just that squatting was inconvenient. So he planned to go somewhere where he could pick vegetables without squatting, where these people could dig them up just by squatting. Fang Wu said there was a place at the foot of the mountain with fields and forests, and everything in between.
Yu Qinglong was a directionally challenged person, so of course he couldn't find the way on his own. That's why Fang Shu led the way today. Hong Huan also followed, and Niu Quan and his group followed from a distance to provide safety.
Yu Qinglong was truly surprised by one thing: life here wasn't as convenient as it had been in his previous life, so many people were much more capable than he'd imagined. These people were also very smart.
After Yu Qinglong taught Yuan Sihan and Qin Yushuang, they were able to recognize several kinds of wild vegetables quickly and enjoyed digging them very much.
Doing this every day would be annoying, but doing it occasionally is a way to experience the joy of life. The two wore cotton and linen clothes, gloves, and sun hats on their heads.
Yu Qinglong was picking fruits from the trees on one side, while the two brothers were picking Artemisia buds, dandelions and Amaranth below.
There are young thorn shoots and Acanthopanax senticosus on this mountain. They are delicious when cooked and dipped in sauce.
Yu Qinglong picked a lot of Acanthopanax senticosus sprouts. Yuan Sihan asked him, "Brother Long, what are those you picked?"
Yu Qinglong said, "This is called Acanthopanax senticosus. It's a wild vegetable and also a medicine. It tastes spicy and slightly bitter, and it enters the spleen, kidney, and heart meridians. It replenishes qi and calms the mind. It can be used in soups, as fillings, or served cold. It's delicious served cold with sesame oil, and it's also delicious when used to make dumplings."
The people around him swallowed their saliva after hearing what he said.
Hong Huan found himself salivating. The Fang family's food was truly amazing. It wasn't that the cooking was intricate or the ingredients were expensive, but it just tasted so delicious. He usually only ate a bowl of rice, but at the Fang family's place, he actually started adding more.
At first he refused to add more, even though he was not full and still wanted to eat more, but the upbringing he received since childhood did not allow him to do so.
But later... let’s not talk about it!
Qin Yushuang suddenly dropped her shovel and jumped three feet high, screaming, "Ahhh! Long'er, Long'er, look! There's a big bug over here!"
Yu Qinglong turned around and saw it: "That's a mole cricket, don't be afraid."
Fang Shu quickly walked over, picked it up, put it into a small bamboo tube and covered it with a lid.
Hong Huan frowned and asked, "Fang Shoucheng, what are you doing?"
Fang Shu said, "Take it back and feed it to Heitiedan. He loves mole crickets the most."
Yuan Sihan said nervously, "Brother Huan, is this an earthworm?"
It was obvious that he had received a strict education. No matter how he played, he could not be as lively as Qin Yushuang. He just stood there stiffly looking at the earthworms, not daring to move.
Hong Huan went over and picked up the earthworm, and with his other hand gently stroked Yuan Sihan's back. Then he walked over to Fang Shu and gestured for him to open the lid.
Fang Shu happily put the earthworm into the bamboo tube and said, "Thank you, Master Hong."
Hong Huan paused. "From now on, you don't have to call me sir. My courtesy name is Liwei."
Fang Shu was very easygoing and immediately changed his tone, saying, "Thank you, Brother Liwei. Hey, Heitiedan is so lucky today."
A wild duck actually ate the earthworms caught by the censor. Wow, this duck is incredible!
Qin Yushuang said, "Oh, Brother Long, I've rarely been to the countryside before. I didn't know it was so interesting here."
Yu Qinglong said, "That's interesting only if you experience it occasionally. Besides, we don't do farm work. If we were to work in the fields all day long in the wind and sun, it would be very tiring and hard."
Qin Yushuang nodded: "That's true. Will you move to the county town in the future?"
Yu Qinglong said, "It depends. I do plan to buy a house in the county town, but I don't intend to live there permanently. Living in the countryside isn't bad, but I'm afraid of disasters; life would be difficult. So, buying a house in the county town is more about having a way out."
Hong Huan then said, "Given your abilities, it shouldn't be difficult for you two to get a government job. But I heard from Magistrate Ma that you, Fang Shoucheng, have no intention of becoming an official. What's the reason?"
Fang Shu said, "Hey, Hong... Brother Liwei, you're in the officialdom, so you must understand the intricacies here. He who wears the crown must bear its weight, and I'm used to being idle. My son Long doesn't like being constrained either. If we were asked to shoulder the burden of serving the country and the people, we would both become depressed."
At first glance, these words sounded like someone without ambition, unworthy of being a man of integrity. But Hong Huan remained silent for a long time after hearing them.
In fact, the others were also silent, even Qin Yushuang became quiet.
Yu Qinglong said, "People always have to make choices in life. Some people carry on the legacy of the sages and bring peace to the world; they are heroes. But some people, like my husband and I, just want to live a good life for our own families."
"But when Cao Zhenshou came looking for you two, you still went to Huaitong County to help."
"That's because we can ignore poverty, but we can't ignore death," Fang Shu said. "If something like this happens again, we will still go."
"It's a good thing that one can turn a blind eye to poverty, but not to the dying." Hong Huan said, "Brothers who defend the city are righteous. What about the autumn examination in August this year..."
"go!"
"You still have to be an official, right?"
"Who said that? I took the imperial examination to..." Fang Shu looked around and whispered, "to get more land tax exemption!"
Hong Huan: “…………”
Hong Huan asked in surprise, "Aren't you afraid that I will report this to His Majesty?"
Fang Shu said with a smile, "Brother Liwei is a man of integrity and righteousness. How could he bother to do such a thing? Besides, at most I won't take the exam."
Hong Huan was speechless for a moment.
Yu Qinglong was an interesting man, and Fang Shu was no less so. Anyone who was around Fang Shu seemed to become indifferent, indifferent, just like him going from eating one bowl of rice to three!
It seems like this is a very insignificant thing.
Fang Shu is an extremely open-minded person. He always thinks positively about everything. I have never seen him worrying. Anyone who sits with him and hesitates or thinks for a while seems vulgar and like a mediocre person worrying about nothing.
Hong Huan hadn't noticed it himself. He'd been there to watch over his husband, afraid he'd get hurt. But then he'd started picking wild vegetables. When he came to, he realized his fingers were stained black by the thorny sprouts.
absurd!
But it's quite fun to pick this thing.
The joy of gathering and hunting is deeply ingrained in human memory. Yu Qinglong believes few people find joy in these activities, as their essence is "harvest." So unless you truly do it daily, at any time, it's hard not to enjoy it.
He concluded that these people would enjoy these things, so he succeeded in getting several baskets full of vegetables.
Of course, this was also due to the fact that several families in the village received help after the disaster, so they didn't have to go hungry in the spring. Otherwise, most of the wild vegetables would not be left for them to pick.
The mutton was brought by Hong Huan and his friends when they came in the morning, two whole sheep, because they had decided to have hotpot today the night before.
Yu Qinglong also made some pork and acanthopanax senticosus filling to make fried egg dumplings.
He fried them in a small, long-handled pan from a hot egg tart, one at a time, very quickly. Fang Shu ground the sesame and peanut butter freshly on a small stone mill. Yu Qinglong added salt, a little sugar, and chive sauce. He omitted the chili oil, making a separate bowl for everyone to add as desired.
The mutton was cut into thin slices—thanks to the fact that my sister-in-law and Bai Wanqiu were at home. Since it was inconvenient for them to go out into the wild, they helped cut the meat at home.
Li Zheng and Hu Bo also helped a lot.
Yu Qinglong made soup and fried egg dumplings. He also added tofu, wild vegetables, mushrooms and wood ear mushrooms, mung bean vermicelli, and hand-rolled noodles...
A large group of people sat in the courtyard of the Yu family's house. The reason was that there were three ready-made earthen stoves in the courtyard. When they moved and entertained guests, the stoves in the courtyard were very convenient, so the Yu family never took them down, and now they were put to use again.
The elders sat at one table, the men led by Fang Shu and Hong Huan sat at one table, and the brothers led by Yu Qinglong sat at another table.
The soup base is a thick fresh fish and mutton bone soup, which was cooked white by Yu Qinglong.
The tender fish meat and fish bones had been removed. The vegetables, meat, and noodles were distributed to each table. The meat and vegetables were then boiled and dipped in sesame paste. Every bite was filled with a lingering fragrance.
Qin Yushuang felt like he was about to be dizzy from the aroma. He especially liked egg dumplings. He felt that the dumplings had absorbed enough broth and sauce to make them overflow between his lips and teeth when he bit into them. They were especially delicious.
Yuan Sihan also enjoyed it. There weren't so many rules to follow here. He could eat as much as he wanted without worrying about the taste of food or the risk of getting angry. He could simply enjoy the delicious food.
And the people here are simple, warm and kind, so he doesn't have to worry about being disliked.
If he had a choice, Yuan Sihan would even like to live here for the rest of his life.
Then they really stayed in Xiaxi Village at night.
Seeing that her husband didn't want to go back, Hong Huan decided to stay at Fang Shu's house. Yu Qinglong helped them clean up the wing room.
That was the place he and Fang Shu had originally planned to use as their wedding room, so it was already very clean and tidy, with new bedding. Yu Qinglong had originally thought that if it didn't work out, he might ask Niu Quan to go to town and get some for Hong Huan and his family, but the couple weren't that picky.
Hong Huan said, "When you go to inspect the army, you can stay in tents. This place is already very good."
The main reason was that Yuan Sihan was particularly happy because Yu Qinglong said he could take him to catch fireflies at night.
As for Qin Yushuang, she's a bit of a social bull. Otherwise, she wouldn't have planned to leave today. She would have already made an appointment with Li Zheng to stay at his house today.
This guy is bold, enthusiastic, and adorable; no one can resist him. Everyone readily agrees to whatever he says. He's got his plans planned out perfectly.
At night, Fang Shu led the way, and a group of young people went to catch fireflies. After catching them, they released them and had fun all the way.
When it was time to go to bed, Yu Qinglong called Yuan Sihan and gave him a small jar.
"This is?"
"Things for the night. I thought you might not have prepared any for your visit."
"For nighttime use?"
"Tsk, that's the cream." Yu Qinglong said, "Don't you want it? If you don't want it, I'll take it away."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Yuan Sihan took it with a red face, "Thank you, Long Ge'er."
"You're welcome. I'll go back to my room. Call me if you need anything."
When Yuan Sihan entered the room, Hong Huan casually asked, "What are you holding in your hand?"
Yuan Sihan said: "It's a secret, I won't tell you yet."
Hong Huan was slightly surprised, realizing that it had been a long time since his husband had spoken to him so playfully. There was a time when his Han'er would also act coquettishly and playfully with him.
He couldn't help but pull the person into his arms and hug him: "It seems that you really like this."
Yuan Sihan said, "Brother Huan, will you be uncomfortable living here? If not, we..."
Before he could finish, Hong Huan said, "As long as you like it, I'd be so thick-skinned as to ask to stay longer. You've only been here a few days, but you've become much more lively and your appetite has improved. This is indeed a great place."
Yuan Sihan nodded and buried his face in Hong Huan's neck: "Brother Huan, are you tired?"
Hong Huan pecked his husband and said, "If someone else asked, then I'd be tired. But if my Han'er asked, then I wouldn't be tired at all."
After he said that, he pressed the person under him and took off his lover's clothes.
Meanwhile, Yu Qinglong was also stripped of his clothes by Fang Shu. Fang Shu hung the clothes aside and gave Yu Qinglong a massage: "Are you exhausted today?"
Yu Qinglong said, "A little bit. But seeing my friends happy makes me happy too. Then again, I've noticed that all the guys I know are very gentle in their speech, including my dad. He speaks very gently to my father. Do you think I'm a little fierce?"
"No, it's obvious that my Long'er is the most gentle. You may look powerful, but you are actually softer than anyone else."
"Who said that?"
"Who needs to tell me this? If you were a little harder-hearted, I wouldn't have been able to marry you even if I had pestered you so hard. Oh, sometimes I really want to kowtow to myself in the mirror a few times."
"what?!"
"Thank you for being so determined and not letting go. Otherwise, how could we have a husband and children today?" Fang Shu pinched her. "How is it? Is your waist still sore?"
"Is your waist longer than your butt?!"
"Oh, sorry, my hand had its own thoughts and pinched the wrong place. I'll punish it severely later!"
Yu Qinglong could only sleep on his side at the moment. As soon as he lay down towards Fang Shu, he felt Fang Shu patting his back gently, like coaxing a child to sleep.
He said: "I can fall asleep even without filming."
Fang Shu said, "I'm punishing you by making my hand kowtow a hundred times to apologize for its rudeness just now. Be good and go to sleep first."
Yu Qinglong: “…”
There must be some other reasons why the books he wrote can be sold at such a high price.
