MTL - The Sweet Little Fulang-Chapter 154
After spending a long time with the good boy on the mountain before, Lu Gu could naturally hear its barking, and if he brought several dogs back from the mountain, who else could it be except Shen Xuanqing.
"It's the second brother." Shen Yan also heard the dog barking.
"Yeah." Lu Gu was full of joy and eagerness, but it was time to feed the rabbits. He glanced at Shen Yan and said, "Let's go and stuff the rabbits into the nest so we can go back and have a look."
He hadn't seen Shen Xuanqing for half a month, and he would inevitably think about it sometimes, but he didn't know it was called missing.
The two, who had just seemed laid back just now, suddenly got up with their hands and feet, and before they got home after feeding the rabbit, they met a good boy who ran out halfway.
The mountain road is far away, and usually a good boy would lie on the ground to rest after rushing a long way, but now he came out to look for Lu Gu.
The good boy kept wagging his tail and whimpered in his throat. Lu Gu rubbed the dog's head to smoothen its fur. With a lot of intimacy, he could move forward in the crazy petition of the good boy.
Not only Lu Gu, but the good boy also pounced on Shen Yan, clasping his front paws on the person, and his tail wagging quickly.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Shen Xuanqing who was washing his face. Lu Gu had been thinking about it for the past few days, and finally saw someone.
He couldn't hide the smile in his eyebrows, even the corners of his lips curled up, unable to keep it flat, he whispered, "You're back."
Before Shen Xuanqing's face was washed, the water dripped down, the fierce heroic spirit between his brows turned into tenderness after hearing his husband's obedient and soft voice, nodded and smiled and said, "I'm back."
As soon as he looked up, Lu Gu saw a long scratch on his cheek. It was not broken, but the mark was obvious.
"I was poked by a branch again?" Lu Gu said and walked forward, raised his head and took a closer look, only to feel relieved when he found that there was no other injury.
Shen Xuanqing smiled and said, "No, I ran in a hurry when I went to chase the black-hoofed sheep yesterday. I was scratched by a hard branch."
When Lu Gu entered the door, he saw the wild sheep and a dwarf deer **** in the courtyard, but he didn't have time to look at it, so he turned to look after hearing what he said.
Shen Xuanqing took a wild bath bead from the kitchen window, dipped it in water, rubbed white foam in his hands, and washed his hands and face together happily.
Ji Qiuyue came out of the kitchen, brought a bowl of hot water and handed it to Shen Xuanqing, who was drying her hands, and then she and Lu Gu and Shen Yan sat around Yanglu and smiled.
Shen Yaoqing and Wei Lanxiang were busy in the fields, and they were the only ones at home.
Shen Xuanqing took a few sips of water and felt relieved. She smiled and said, "The ewes have a stronger temper than the rams, and it is easy to lead them on the road. Otherwise, if they are all rams and stags, they will suffer along the way."
There were many people in the front yard, and the sheep and deer were obviously a little frightened. Looking at people, Ji Qiuyue said, "Yanyan, come, take it to the backyard and tie it."
Every time the live prey is kept in the backyard, Shen Yan also knows that untying the ewe's rope from the stake, they are both used to work, plus the good boy and Da Hui are staring at the sheep. He roared lowly and walked smoothly.
After walking into the backyard passage, he couldn't see anymore, and Lu Gucai looked at Shen Xuanqing again.
"Can't you go up this time?" He smiled and saw that Shen Xuanqing had finished drinking the last sip of water in the bowl, he stepped forward to take it, the mud stove was placed in the kitchen, and the clay pot above was simmering hot water.
"Don't go, even the bedding is stuffed into the box when you get up early, and the house is locked when you come down, and you can go up again in the spring of next year." Shen Xuanqing subconsciously followed him into the kitchen, following every step of the way.
"Do you want to drink tea or honey?" Lu Gu asked, looking at the small pot with honey under the chopping board.
Shen Xuanqing smiled and said, "It's not necessary. If you are thirsty all the way, just drink two more bowls of warm warmth."
Lu Gu scooped water for him and asked, "What do you want to eat, I'll make it for you."
Shen Xuanqing glanced at the door of the kitchen and saw that there was no one, only Da Hei was lying on the ground panting. He lowered his head and approached Lu Gu, easily stole a scent, and then raised his head, a handsome face full of smiles.
After Lu Gu was kissed on the mouth, he pursed his lips and said nothing, but the smile on his raised face never faded. His eyes were bright, only his ears were slightly red.
"Then scrambled eggs for you?" He made an excuse to cook to calm himself down, pretending he didn't take the kiss to heart.
"Okay." Shen Xuanqing loves scrambled eggs, so how can he not nod.
Lu Gu took four white-faced steamed buns from the basket, put a small drawer on the big pot, boiled water and set it on fire, covered the pot, and then got up and took out five eggs from the basket.
"Are you hungry?" He spoke to Shen Xuanqing while beating eggs: "Scrambled eggs are the fastest, and I'll get some sour cowpeas later. This meal will be padded first, and then fried meat and vegetables for dinner, so you can have a good meal. "
Shen Xuanqing sat in front of the stove to add firewood, and he hadn't seen him for more than ten days. Lu Gu talked to him, and just listening to him made him happy, and he could eat anything.
After Ji Qiuyue and Shen Yan came over, they saw that Lu Gu was scrambled eggs and couldn't move their hands. They felt that eating only scrambled eggs would be no good. Shen Xuanqing was messing around on the mountain. He just picked up a few large leaves of the cabbage, washed and cut them quickly, and when Lu Gu put the eggs out, he fry the cut cabbage again.
The water in the pot quickly boiled, and the hot white steamed buns were so soft that Shen Xuanqing wiped the egg plate with the steamed buns at the end of the meal. Eat enough.
When Wei Lanxiang came back from the field carrying the shovel and Shen Yaoqing, seeing her second son, she hurriedly put down the shovel and went up to ask a lot of questions. The yard was very lively for a while.
Shen Xuanqing came back with not only sheep and deer, but also eight fox skins and two fat-headed doves tied to their feet in the bamboo basket.
When Shen Yaoqing poured the two fat birds out of the bamboo basket, the fat-headed dove was still alive, just dying, he picked up the fat birds and put them aside, and said to Shen Xuanqing, "It's a coincidence, I came back from digging autumn bamboo shoots the day before yesterday. , I haven't finished eating it, I will kill one tomorrow and stew it with bamboo shoots."
Shen Xuanqing showed the fox skins to Lu Gu. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Kill both of them, and the rest will be eaten by the dog."
The fat birds in the mountains are not very valuable, and Wei Lanxiang also knows that her second son is the most willing to keep a dog, so she doesn't care too much, and happily looks at the fox fur.
"It's cold, and the meat is easy to put away, so I won't sell that ewe. Let's keep it first. When it gets colder, we'll kill it and eat it ourselves. In winter, we eat sheep to nourish the stomach." After Shen Xuanqing finished speaking, seeing the family Excited and happy.
Venison is too expensive. Even if it is killed, it is not easy to sell it in the village. It is better to sell it to a restaurant.
However, venison nourishes blood and nourishes qi, and it is good for people to eat.
Thinking about it like this made him hesitate, Lu Gu has never eaten venison.
Not to mention Lu Gu, even he ate it once, and he still ate it when he was learning art from the old hunter. Old Yangtou was reluctant to eat too much. After selling it to a big family in Jixing Town, he rubbed his lips with others and paid less. Some money, bring back a pound of venison.
The dwarf deer is not as tender as the deer meat, but the Fulai Restaurant accepts it, but every time they go to the house, they want the whole one, so it has nothing to do with them.
That's all, save some more money this year. Next year, the rabbits and chickens and ducks will sell well. It's not too late to get a Merlu back and open meat for Lu Gu. Besides, there is a sheep left, and it is also very good to eat mutton.
—
For Shen Xuanqing, selling deer was already a familiar road. The Fulai Restaurant and Store had a big business, but this time, he accepted the whole deer.
With the money in his pocket, he took Lu Gu around the pier.
The couples in the town are very particular about riding in sedan chairs to go out for fun, and they have encountered several sedan chairs along the way. He misses that Lu Gu has to work at home every day, and he always sells things and shouts when he goes out. Today, he walks slowly and stops. Stopped buying several things.
Oranges can only come to them with cargo ships in late autumn and winter throughout the year, which is a very rare thing.
As soon as Lu Gu saw a basket of green-skinned oranges unloaded from the cargo ship, he remembered that last year, Shen Xuanqing squeezed the orange peel to scare him.
The tall man next to him also remembered this incident, and a smile appeared on Jun's face that only the two of them understood.
"Buy some back, and also the yellow-skinned oranges, and have a taste." Shen Xuanqing said, and went to talk to the merchant, Lu Gu was not far from him.
When the two of them left the wharf and headed home, the bamboo basket on Shen Xuanqing's back was half of the oranges, and he also bought a lotus cake with plum blossom, two candied haws and a small jar of sweet-scented osmanthus wine. He also bought hand ointment noodles for Lu Gutian. Zhi, there are always several kinds.
A total of 24 fox skins were sold this year, Shen Xuanqing was very happy, and there was always a smile on his face when he came back.
After leaving the town, the cold wind blew on his face. He turned to look at Lu Gu and asked, "Is it cold?"
"It's not cold." Lu Gu shook his head with a slight smile on his face, and said, "I wear thick clothes."
Shen Xuanqing looked up at the sky and said, "Tomorrow, I will go to Fucheng to sell the fox fur. After I come back, I will rest for a few days, and I will be at home from now on."
"Yeah." Lu Gu nodded with a smile.
Seeing him so happy, Shen Xuanqing also laughed. He missed Lu Gu in the mountains, and Lu Gu also missed him at home.
"Now that we have so many rabbits, plus the winter hunting, the front mountain can't hit big wild animals, but the hares can still hit them. In winter, they must earn more money than before." Shen Xuanqing smiled like a star, seeing no one nearby. People, still holding Lu Gu's hand and walking for a while.
He was content with the hand that was smaller than himself, and his voice was low and steady: "When I come back from Fucheng, I will go to the embroidery workshop to discuss it. If you embroider a handkerchief in the future, take it directly to the embroidery workshop. It's too cold to be hawking on the street."
"Okay." Lu Gu was always so submissive.
He likes Shen Xuanqing talking to him in such a low voice. He has a mellow and numb feeling. He can always hear it at night before going to bed. He doesn't have much to say. return.
The hands that the two held together shook slightly, and they were excited and joyful when they saw it.
If it hadn't been for someone on the other side, Lu Gu would be really embarrassed. In broad daylight, for fear of causing gossip, he had to let go.
The sun rose in the east and set in the west, and when Shen Xuanqing came back, Lu Gu was far happier than he was at home before. Even at work, he was always smiling when he saw it, and anyone who saw that smiling face felt pleasant and friendly.
