Meng Qixue puffed up her cheeks and said, "Okay then."
Seeing that she was finally willing to come out, Chun Ya let out a little breath and moved forward to hold her hand in a flattering manner, "Xue Bao, I caught fish with Brother Da Zhuang today, and we caught a very big fish."
"Brother Da Zhuang said that he will go hunting tomorrow. Do you want to come with us?"
Meng Qixue pulled her hand out of hers and said, "No, I'm going to the town to help my mother work."
Chun Ya picked her fingers and said, "Xue Bao, I heard from my mother that you went up the mountain today. Is it fun on the mountain?"
"It's fun, much more fun than catching fish." Meng Qixue said in a brisk voice: "From now on, I will follow my mother up the mountain every day, so don't come looking for me."
Chunya was so preoccupied with what her mother told her that she didn't listen carefully to Meng Qixue's words. She licked her lips and continued: "You and your mother got something on the mountain. Can you tell me about it?"
Meng Qixue finally realized something was wrong, "Chunya, why do you keep asking me about things on the mountain? Are you trying to lie to me again?"
"I didn't! I just want to know what you did on the mountain. I won't lie to you. Chunya, just tell me."
"I won't tell you! Wang Chunya, don't come to me again in the future. I don't want to play with you, liar!"
Meng Qixue snorted, turned around and entered the kitchen, refusing to come out no matter how she shouted from behind.
There was no choice but to have Shen Qingqing come forward and coax Chun Ya out.
Chun Ya Niang, who was cooking in the kitchen, quickly popped her head out when she heard the footsteps, "How are you doing? Have you asked?"
Chunya shrank her neck and stood at the door of her house, not daring to come in. She shook her head with a stern look on her face for a long time.
Chun Ya Niang immediately got angry, raised her hand and slapped her, and shouted with raised eyebrows: "Go over and ask tomorrow. If you can't find out, don't come back!"
"But, Xuebao said I was a liar and didn't want to play with me anymore." Chunya pouted her lips and wanted to cry.
Chun Ya Niang slapped her again, "Who are you looking at here crying and crying? Your father is fighting on the front line, and you don't know if he can come back alive. Is it easy for me to raise you as both a father and a mother? Such a trivial matter doesn't matter.
If you can’t do it well, what’s the use of you?”
Chunya sobbed and cried: "I'll ask, mother, I'll ask tomorrow."
Chun Ya Niang sighed and wiped her tears, "Mom, I know you feel aggrieved, but isn't our family poor? As long as you can find out what is in the basket, I will be able to get the money. I will think about it then."
Mom will buy you whatever you want to eat."
"Really?" Chun Ya raised her head, her eyes full of expectation.
"Mom, I won't lie to you, let's go eat."
On the other hand, Meng Qixue returned to the kitchen and learned what Chunya said to Shen Qingqing. Finally, she asked: "Mom, am I right? Does Chunya want to lie to me again?"
"She probably didn't want to lie to you." Shen Qingqing shoveled out the fried diced rabbit, added two ladles of water to the pot, and replied smoothly: "They should be eyeing our fungi."
He agreed: "I think so too, but if they come to grab the fungi, we really can't resist them."
After all, Xiaolian Mountain belongs to everyone, and they have no right to stop it.
Shen Qingqing's face was still calm and calm, "Even if they want to pick them, they have to identify all the fungi in advance. If they eat them randomly if they don't know them, they are not eating the fungi, but they are losing their lives."
Mr. He felt a little more at ease, "What you said makes sense. Those who are timid really don't dare to eat it randomly."
"However, Wang Chunya didn't ask for any useful information today, and she might come again tomorrow. Keeping pestering her like this is not the answer. We have to give them a long memory."
Shen Qingqing waved her hand towards Meng Qixue, "If Chunya comes to see you again tomorrow, you can tell her this..."
Meng Qixue blinked in surprise after hearing this, "Is there really such a thing?"
"Will Mom still lie to you?" Shen Qingqing stood up with a smile, "Wash your hands and eat with your belly open. Stop arguing over a piece of meat."
It's like she abused a child.
A kid who was arguing about meat stuck out his tongue in embarrassment and ran out of the kitchen, "Eating meat!"
In addition to stir-frying diced rabbit, Shen Qingqing also cooked half a pot of mushroom soup.
The diced meat is caramelized, fragrant and spicy, and is especially delicious with rice. The mushroom soup is tender and refreshing. After the meal, you will feel relaxed physically and mentally after a bowl of it.
It was another hearty meal, and several people were so full that they burped. He held his belly and laughed: "If we eat like this for a few more times, Zhenshan will probably not be able to recognize me when he comes back!"
"My aunt is tall. She won't be able to tell if she gains a few pounds. Just eat without worry."
The two of them chatted and laughed as they processed the newly picked gallbladder fungi and heated up the oil in the pot. The four boys had already fallen asleep.
That night, Meng Qifeng had a dream. In the dream, his father led a maroon horse home. His father said that the horse was a gift to him. He rode the horse around majestically, and the children in the village
Everyone envied him.
He also rode a horse to hunt in the mountains and caught a lot of hares, which made his second sister jump three feet high with joy. His mother also praised him, praising him as the most powerful marksman in the world.
In the blink of an eye, those lively rabbits turned into oily pieces of meat again, and the fragrant smell made his mouth water.
It smells so good...
He opened his eyes drowsily and faced Shen Qingqing's smiling face, "Did you dream about something delicious? Your mouth is watering just by looking at it."
As he spoke, he raised his hand to wipe his saliva.
Meng Qifeng lowered his head shyly. After a long while, he whispered back: "I dreamed about the rabbit meat that my mother cooked. It's very fragrant."
Shen Qingqing chuckled and said, "If you like it, make this dish next time you catch a rabbit."
Meng Qifeng nodded obediently.
"Get dressed and get up, breakfast is already ready."
Breakfast consisted of scallion egg pancakes and rice porridge. The egg pancakes were golden and buttery, fragrant with green onions, and slightly light in taste. They were more suitable for children. Meng Qixue liked them very much. She ate two of them in one go and her belly was round.
Since the noodle shop only opened at noon, Shen Qingqing was not in a hurry to rush to town. After eating, she picked up two buckets of water from the well and washed the whole family's clothes before setting off.
On the way, Meng Qixue hugged Shen Qingqing's arm with a smile, "Mom, just now Chunya came to see me again. I told her what my mother taught me, and she believed it!"
Shen Qingqing tapped the tip of her nose and said, "Xue Bao is awesome. I'll buy you some candies when I go to town."
However, before their ox cart arrived at the door of the noodle shop, they were surrounded by customers who had been waiting for a long time. "Boss Shen, we have finally come to you. If you don't come, we will be blinded by the anticipation!"
"You can't be blind. How can you come here to eat noodles if you are blind?"
Shen Qingqing smiled and joked with everyone, and unscrewed the door lock.
The customer who wanted to buy four bowls yesterday replied exaggeratedly: "Do you still need to use your eyes to eat noodles? I can touch it just by smelling it!"
Everyone burst into laughter immediately.
Shen Qingqing smiled while taking out a wooden box from the carriage. The box was filled with small wooden signs. Each sign had a different number written on it, arranged in order from one to one hundred.
"Everyone, come quickly and line up to get a brand. Buy a bowl of noodles and get a brand. Pay 20 cents. Then we will serve the noodles in the order of the number on the brand." This chapter has been completed!
