Some things happen and there is no way to make up for them.
What's more, the master is no longer here, and no matter what she does, she can't replace him.
Miss Jun sighed softly.
"Miss, please stop sighing. Sighing will make you age." Liu'er said, "You have sighed several times along the way."
Miss Jun smiled and nodded. At this time, they had already reached the village. Smoke was rising from every house, and the children herding cattle returned from driving the cattle singing nursery rhymes and playing around.
Men who had been working hard all day sat under the tree, laughing and waiting for their meal.
Seeing Miss Jun approaching, the children hurriedly shrank their heads and hid behind the cows, while the men were restrained and pretended to be calm.
Miss Jun greeted them with a smile and walked over without waiting for a response. She could feel the people behind her breathing a sigh of relief even without looking back. The eyes on her back were full of curiosity.
They are curious about what kind of people they are, and they are also curious about what kind of people they are.
She carries Master's present, and they are Master's past.
Take your time and you will get familiar with it.
"Miss is back, you can eat now." Liu'er ran into the yard and shouted happily.
Xia Yong's wife also smiled and wiped her hands on her apron.
"Miss Jun," she said, "the meal is ready."
As the eldest girl, Liu Er can't cook.
While walking on the road, Lei Zhonglian led his guards to cook.
Of course it was the same when we got here. Xia Yong's wife saw it and of course she refused.
"What kind of delicious food can a man make?" she said, coming here for two meals a day.
Miss Jun repeatedly said no, but she just refused to listen. Miss Jun was not the kind of person to care about everything, so she just let her be.
Aunt Xia resigned and left. Lei Zhonglian and others set up tables and chairs in the yard, just like they did when walking in the wild. Two more guards brought out the meals prepared by the stove.
Hot grilled, shredded cabbage and pickled vegetables, a large plate of chopped braised hare meat, pheasant stewed with mushrooms picked from the mountains, and rice porridge rolled with vegetable leaves.
The food and drinks are all made from the mountains and the fields, simple and delicious.
"It doesn't taste good if you eat it all the time." Liu'er muttered, then put some rabbit meat on the fire and handed it to Miss Jun, "The noodles here don't taste good. I don't know what was mixed with it."
Miss Jun took it and took a big bite. The meat was very fragrant and the noodles were indeed rough, probably mixed with bran.
Life here is not rich.
"It's delicious." Miss Jun said.
"No matter how delicious it is, I can't help but eat it every day." Liu'er muttered. When Miss Jun glanced at her, she hurriedly stuck out her tongue and sat down to eat. When she saw a silver bracelet on a wooden pier beside her.
It was picked off by Xia Yong's wife while cooking.
"She forgot, I gave it to her." Liu'er said, putting down the bowl and chopsticks, "I think she treasures this bracelet."
Yes, otherwise I wouldn’t have taken it off when I was working.
Miss Jun nodded.
"Go quickly," she said.
Liu'er grabbed the bracelet and ran out with a bang.
Although it would be shameful to give bracelets to Xia Yong's wife, now that the young lady is willing to be nice to them, she can only be nice to them.
Xia Yong and his wife lived nearby, but there was no sign of anyone in the yard at this time.
"Aunt Xia?" Liu'er called.
There was no movement in the house, and it seemed that no one was there.
"Where did you go while eating?" Liu'er muttered in confusion. Did she go to visit someone else?
Then good people will do it to the end.
Liu'er walked towards other houses, but strangely, there was still no one in this house.
One house after another, two or three in a row, were empty.
It's impossible. When I came back just now, every household was cooking. It's time to eat at home.
There's a ghost!
Liu'er thought immediately, she clenched her hands and carefully looked at each house in the village, and soon heard the excitement coming from a courtyard.
"Er Niu, this is your family's meal."
"Da Liu, your family belongs to three people."
Xia Yong's voice came from inside.
"..My, my, my..."
"Don't grab it, they are all there."
Mixed with the urgent shouts of children.
Liu'er, who was squatting in the corner, suddenly understood.
It turned out that they were actually hiding and eating good food!
That's too much!
Liu Er stood up angrily, coughed heavily and rushed in.
People in the yard were startled by the sudden sound, and turned their heads to see Liu'er. They immediately let out a coax and hid back in fear. Some even hid their rice bowls behind their backs.
"Miss Liu'er." Xia Yong's wife stepped forward with an embarrassed and panic expression, "Why are you here?"
Liu'er looked at the people in the yard.
"I'm here to see what delicious food you have." She said, raising her feet and walking towards a woman next to her.
Xia Yong's wife didn't expect that she would get straight to the point, and Liu'er had already arrived at the woman's side before she could stop her.
The woman was scared to hide, but Liu'er grabbed the bowl, and the bowl fell to the ground with a clatter.
There was no delicious food, just a black stone-like pancake.
Liu'er was stunned for a moment, then looked at the people around her. Without exception, they all looked like this.
What's so delicious about this?
……………………………………………
"This is bran cake."
Miss Jun reached out and picked up a piece and brought it to her mouth.
As she finished speaking, Miss Jun had already taken a bite, chewed hard, and swallowed hard.
"We don't always eat these." Xia Yong said uneasily.
Miss Jun didn't look at him, she just glanced at the men, women and children in front of her and the bowls in their hands.
There were no vegetables, no meat, not even rice porridge.
The unpalatable meals she ate, which Liu'er disliked, were provided by the whole village.
No wonder Xia Yong's wife took the initiative to cook for them. It was precisely because she cooked that they didn't pay attention to how much and where the food came from.
And the smoke from every household in the village was just for her to see. In fact, they all came here to get a piece of cake to satisfy their hunger.
She knew that their life here was not rich, but she didn't expect that they were not so rich.
Miss Jun didn't say a word, grabbed the pancake and bit it hard again.
"Miss Jun." Xia Yong's wife stepped forward and took her hand, with a somewhat apologetic and calm look on her face, "I know you feel bad, but actually it's nothing. Our fields here are not good, and mountain goods are just like that.
But anyone who entertains guests must provide the best. This is not to flatter others, this is our intention."
Miss Jun nodded, chewed a mouthful of pancake and swallowed it hard.
"Yes, I know." She said, smiling and nodding vigorously, "I know, I am very happy."
Xia Yong's wife snorted.
"Don't eat this." She said with a smile, "Okay, okay, we won't be like this anymore, let's all eat bran pharyngeal vegetables together."
How could it be!
How could she let them eat chaffy vegetables?
Miss Jun turned around.
"Liu'er, Liu'er." she shouted.
Liu'er stood over.
"Take people into the city." Miss Jun looked at her and said, "Buy whatever you need, and take whatever you want."
Liu'er responded and turned around and took a long stride. (To be continued)
