Eight hundred and fortieth chapters to the countryside
Chapter 844 Going to the Countryside
"Okay, in order to make you feel more at ease, I will give you a weapon. This weapon can protect you when your life is in danger." Li Feng said.
At the same time, he already had a short musket in his hand, but it was an old model.
Even so, when Li Wan saw the musket, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Musket, you actually gave the musket to him."
When Ichiro Matsumoto heard Li Wan's exclamation, he knew that this musket was very valuable and expensive.
Li Feng waved his hand and said, "Don't be so surprised. You also know that I am very generous to my own people."
"But……"
Li Feng directly interrupted Li Wan's hand and said, "It goes without saying, I have the final say on this matter."
Ichiro Matsumoto said: "Master Hou, I cannot accept such valuable items."
Li Feng smiled and said: "This is called a musket. I don't know if you have heard of it. This musket is expensive, but it is really precious, because no matter how rich you are, you can't buy it.
To say it is not precious, it is not precious at all, its cost price is less than one hundred taels of gold."
Matsumoto Ichiro was even more shocked when he heard this. He asked: "Master Marquis, what exactly is this musket? Why can't I see its use at all?"
Li Feng smiled and said: "Let's go to the countryside. This is not a suitable place for your experiments."
"Going to the countryside?" Matsumoto Ichiro was a little surprised.
Li Wan explained: "Follow me. The use of muskets is not allowed here, otherwise the soldiers here may beat you into a hornet's nest."
Ichiro Matsumoto followed Li Feng and the others out of the city with a look of confusion on his face.
Not long after arriving outside the city, they came to a small forest. Li Feng was walking in the small forest and observing to see if there were any birds or animals that he could practice his marksmanship on, and at the same time, he could let Ichiro Matsumoto know how powerful the musket was.
It's a pity that the forest is not big, so I walked out of the forest not long after walking.
"Master Marquis, we have been walking for a long time. I wonder where Master Marquis will take me?" Ichiro Matsumoto asked. It really took a long time to walk.
Li Feng said: "I don't know. As long as we can find birds, animals, or poultry, I will test the power of the musket."
After Matsumoto Ichiro knew what Li Feng meant, he stopped talking.
actually
There was one thing that Li Feng didn't tell Matsumoto. He also had another task, which was to check whether there was any kind of grain in the fields of the common people, which was the grain that Li Feng brought out from the system.
Another thing is that Li Feng knows that there is a kind of food in Mingzhou, taro, which is very delicious and can be stored for a long time. He just wanted to come and see the situation. Maybe the people have not discovered this taro yet.
Even Li Wan didn't know about this.
"Mr. Sir, look, there is smoke from the kitchen over there." Li Wan pointed to the smoke rising slowly into the sky not far away and said.
Li Feng looked over and said with a smile: "Let's go over and have a look."
Ichiro Matsumoto looked at the smoke and said: "Master Hou, it's not appropriate for us to go there like this. Shouldn't we bring some gifts?"
Li Feng thought for a moment and said, "That's right. Let's see if there are any frogs here later. Let's catch some as gifts."
"Master Hou, how can this be regarded as a gift?" Ichiro Matsumoto asked in shock.
Li Wan smiled and said: "Matsumoto, you are in great luck today. Don't ask any questions. Just follow us to catch frogs. You will soon know the reason."
Ichiro Matsumoto didn't tell Li Feng and the others when they saw him, so he had no choice but to catch crabs with Li Feng and the others.
It's summer now, and there are a lot of frogs in the fields. You can hear their croaking at night, plus the cries of crickets and other sounds, forming a wonderful musical feast. This is the only fun and joy for the people.
enjoy.
In ten minutes, the three of them caught more than forty frogs. Li Feng tore off his own clothes and wrapped all the frogs.
The three of them walked for ten minutes and arrived at a small village. The village was not very big, with only about fifty households in total, but one of them was a big family.
Li Feng did not go to the rich family's house, but came to the home of a poor family. From the dilapidated fence, it could be seen that the family was a farmer who lived a hard life.
Li Wan shouted to the villagers outside the door: "Excuse me, is there anyone?"
A woman walked out of the house with a shovel in her hand. Apparently she was cooking.
When the woman saw Li Feng and the others, she was slightly startled. She immediately walked over, opened the door, and then asked very carefully: "Three noble ladies, don't you know why you came to my house?"
Li Wan smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, don't be nervous.
We were passing by and wanted to ask some questions, and also wanted to use the kitchen at my sister-in-law's house."
"Mom, the porridge is cooked, can you eat it? I'm hungry." A little girl suddenly appeared outside the door and called the woman. When she saw Li Feng and the others, she hid in the room in fear, but
He showed his head and looked at Li Feng and the others curiously.
The woman immediately invited Li Feng and the others in, then quickly entered the room, and then served her daughter a bowl of porridge. It was more like a bowl of rice soup than a bowl of porridge.
"Good girl, take the bowl and drink it slowly."
Xiaohua nodded very obediently, took the bowl and sat next to her to drink the porridge. Because it was too hot, she blew on it hard with her mouth.
The woman then came to the kitchen again and served Li Feng and the others a bowl of porridge, but there was a lot more rice in the porridge for them.
"Three distinguished guests, I'm very sorry. We don't even have simple food at home. We only have some rice porridge. Please don't dislike it." The woman said.
Li Feng quickly waved his hand and said: "I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it."
In order to prove what he said, Li Feng finished a bowl of porridge, and Li Wan and Matsumoto also finished it.
Luckily for Li Wan, when she was in the military camp, sometimes she didn't even have enough food to eat, so she didn't feel bad about it.
Matsumoto was different. He was born in a small aristocratic family, not to mention rich and powerful, but he had never been hungry, let alone eaten porridge like this. It was difficult to swallow for a while, and he finally drank the porridge with force.
When the woman saw this, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister-in-law, you probably haven't eaten it either, right?" Li Feng asked.
The woman said awkwardly: "I'll eat it later."
Li Feng nodded and said: "Since we will eat later, let's wait a little longer. I will cook for you personally. Li Wan called the little sister over and said not to drink rice soup, so as not to be too full to eat.
My delicious food.
By the way, I want to ask where you can find wild boars and other wild game. You and Matsumoto can go try out the muskets and add some vegetables."
Li Wan nodded and said, "Okay."
So Li Feng began to clean up the frogs he had just caught. Li Wan first comforted the woman's daughter not to drink porridge and to eat something delicious later.
Then he asked the woman where there was game, but the woman didn't know, so she took Li Wan and the others there together.
