Chapter 552: I think you are making dirty jokes to me, but I have no evidence!
Jungler?
It should be fun, right?
Wenjiu's interest was aroused, so he immediately got up and went to the kitchen to get a basket, changed his shoes, and went into the mountain with his sisters-in-law, going up the mountain along the road beside the vegetable field and then going down the mountain to the inside.
Because the mountain roads were difficult to travel on, we didn’t take our children with us and left them at home.
Those who went there included Sun Mingzhu, Yuan Fang, Lin Xiulian and Ge Yueji. As they were walking and warming their wine, they suddenly exclaimed, "I smell a fragrance. Can you sisters-in-law smell it?
Yuan Fang happily agreed: "It seems to be the smell of Sophora japonica flowers. This season is the season when Sophora japonica flowers bloom. Whether the Sophora japonica flowers are wrapped in flour and steamed to make Sophora japonica rice, or dried in the sun and used to steam meat, they are very fragrant."
"We came at the right time. Let's look for it there."
Sun Mingzhu pointed in a direction and said, "I smell it coming from that direction."
"Then let's go take a look?"
Yuan Fang and Lin Xiu Lian took sickles and cut off the thorns that blocked the road. They barely made a way out and headed towards that direction. The fragrance of locust flowers became stronger as they walked. After crossing a small hill, they saw two locust trees covered with clusters of white locust flowers, which made Wen Jiu's eyes sparkle.
She hasn't eaten this yet!
"Oh, it's true. Hahaha... We came at the right time today." Yuan Fang laughed and dropped the backpack on his back. He found a basket and put it on his head. He took off his shoes and climbed up the tree nimbly. In an instant, he reached the middle of the tree.
"Those who can climb trees can climb that one. Those who can't can just look around and see if there's anything else. I'll pick it. Leave someone below to catch the basket for me."
“I can crawl.”
"Then I'll pick that one."
Sun Mingzhu didn't take the basket, but took a bag, stuffed it into her waist and climbed up the tree. After a while, she sat on a branch.
Lin Xiulian said, "Sister, can you help Fangzi to look around for me?"
Wen Jiu said excitedly: "How about asking Sister Yueji to stay with us? I have never hunted in the wild before!"
She couldn't wait to know what other good things there were, and her eagerness was like going treasure hunting.
Ge Yueji smiled and said, "No problem, you two go and I'll stay here."
"Okay!"
Wen Jiu carried the basket and walked with Lin Xiulian to the waterside under the locust tree. Before Wen Jiu could stand still, he heard Lin Xiulian exclaim, "Such tender and plump water celery, perfect for stir-frying with meat. Oh, there's a bamboo forest over there!"
"Girl, look, are there any bamboo shoots? I'll pick these water celery."
Pinch off the leaves of water celery. The stems are very fragrant whether they are used directly to stir-fry meat or soaked in sour water and eaten. They have a very unique aroma.
"Okay!"
"Then sister-in-law, be careful not to get your shoes wet."
"It's still a little cool."
"You should slow down too."
Wenjiu carried the basket and walked towards the bamboo forest. Although the bamboo forest was not very big, the ground was covered with dense bamboo shoots.
“Real bamboo shoots!”
She quickly squatted down and started to break it.
Wild bamboo shoots are not as good as domesticated ones. The thickest ones are only slightly thicker than an adult man's thumb. At first, Wen Jiu was so exhausted that he didn't know how to break them. After breaking a few, he found the trick and soon had a basket full of them.
They were in the mountains the whole morning, and later found some holly, shepherd's purse, wormwood sprouts, bracken, wild garlic, and white wormwood. In the end, everyone returned with a full load and sat in the yard to clean up.
Wenjiu got several scratches on his hands, including his face, and his hair was messed up by the branches, but he was extremely happy as if he had won the lottery. He sat on a small stool and peeled bamboo shoots with Sun Mingzhu.
When Lu Beiye came back and saw this, he was surprised. Before he could ask, Wen Jiu smiled and waved at him.
"If you are busy, go ahead! The sisters-in-law said they would eat lunch together today, and I want to take advantage of their lunch."
Lu Beiye: “…”
Heartless.
Just because there is food to eat, you don’t want it?
Several sisters-in-law laughed and teased him, "Look at the expression on Captain Lu's face. Isn't it just that your wife doesn't need you to cook today? Why do you look abandoned?"
"That's right, we are all women and married, we won't kidnap your precious wife, so let's keep this in mind!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, what's going on! Girl, why don't you just let him do it for you? I think he looks very disappointed!"
…
They were talking at once, Wen Jiu was still watching with a smile, and had no intention of speaking for him at all. Lu Beiye suffered a terrible defeat for the first time and almost fled in panic.
Wen Jiu reminded loudly, "Bring my brother back to eat wild vegetables tonight, and bring Xia Huaishan as well. I want to eat the pickled cabbage rice he makes!"
Xia Huaishan was devastated when he heard the news. He said to Lu Beiye with a tearful face, "Brother, are you sure that sister-in-law wants to eat pickled cabbage rice? Why do I feel like she wants to eat me?"
Lu Beiye narrowed his eyes, "Are you worthy?"
Xia Huaishan: “…”
He lowered his head and kept silent.
I feel like you're making dirty jokes about me, but I have no proof!
The sisters-in-law cleaned up the wild vegetables, gave each of them some and took them home to start cooking. Since Wen Jiu didn't know how to cook, she got the job of clearing the table, setting up the chairs and taking care of the children. The tables and chairs were taken from the homes of Zhao Chunni and several sisters-in-law who lived on the first floor.
When it was time for dinner, there were two tables filled in the yard.
Sun Mingzhu made mugwort rice. To make mugwort rice, wash the mugwort, wrap it with corn flour, cut a few slices of meat, add seasoning and steam it. It can be eaten directly after it comes out of the pot.
Yuan Fang made wheat rice, which is cooked in the same way as mugwort rice except that it needs sauce. She also made stir-fried celery and meat.
Lin Xiulian made shepherd's purse and meat dumplings, and also stir-fried some artemisia sprouts and bracken.
Ge Yueji mixed some gray vegetables with cold water, stir-fried some sour almond vegetables, and cooked some porridge.
The other sisters-in-law who wanted to join in also cooked some of their specialties, brought them downstairs and ate with them. They ate their food and exchanged it with each other. When they were in the mood, they warmed up the wine and went home to get some. The consequence of doing this was -
She was so drunk that she fell asleep several times. She didn't know how she got home after drinking the wine. When she opened her eyes, she saw Lu Beiye in front of her. She subconsciously moved forward and snuggled into Lu Beiye's arms, ready to continue sleeping.
But Lu Beiye pushed her, and she opened her eyes in confusion.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Beiye said: "Think about it yourself."
What are you thinking about?
Dazed by the warm wine, she buried her head in Lu Beiye's arms again.
But soon she woke up.
And his eyes widened in horror. Wasn't she drinking with her sisters-in-law? And didn't Lu Beiye go to the army?
How come she's here?
She turned her head and looked out the window. The crescent moon was rising under the setting sun in the sky.
"It's dark?"
Lu Beiye nodded, "Yes, so do you still remember how you got back?"
Warming wine: "..."
She said weakly: "I don't remember. I shouldn't have done anything embarrassing, right?"
"Who knows?"
Lu Beiye said as he put clothes on Wenjiu and pulled him up, "Hurry up and get up, our brother and Lao Xia are here."
Our brother?
Warming the wine was even more terrifying.
