"From now on, you will bring the tools for spearing fish and the money for grilling fish with you every day. I will settle the settlement for you separately." Looking at Bai Ling's eyes narrowed when he was obsessed with money, Shangguan looked disgusted, but he couldn't help but said something that made Bai Ling happy.
Come on.
"Thank you, uncle. Please give me a good morning." Bai Ling held the money in his arms and was so happy that he almost couldn't find the north, south, east, and west.
Shangguan glanced at Bai Ling with disdain, but in his heart he didn't hate Bai Ling's money-grubbing appearance, and felt that she was more vivid like this.
At least Bai Ling, who is so real, is much more pleasing to the eye than those artificial ladies, and much better than those who want to repay a favor.
"Hmph, it sounds like you have time early in the morning." Shangguan waved his hand, swung his whip in the air, and said without looking back: "After noon, I came here to see you. You are late.
If you don’t, I’ll deduct your wages.”
The Shangguan will not admit that he has already found out all eight generations of Bai Ling's ancestors.
As the heir apparent, Shangguan was saved by a peasant girl by chance, so he would not pretend that everything had happened, otherwise there would not have been this 'encounter'.
The last time I was rescued by Bai Ling, Shangguan's poison actually shortened the time for half a cup of tea that day. This was the main reason why Shangguan investigated and found Bai Ling.
Another reason was Bai Ling's living situation, which made Shangguan feel that if he didn't help Bai Ling, he would be forever indebted to a peasant girl for saving his life, which made Shangguan feel aggrieved just thinking about it.
Seeing the horse rushing from the woods and carrying the graceful young man away, Bai Ling remembered and shouted, "The money for the grilled fish must be settled on the same day. It cannot be deducted from the deposit. Don't forget to bring the money!"
The Shangguan on horseback almost fell off. He was indeed a money-crazed man. These dozens of taels of silver could not be earned by a small peasant girl in her lifetime.
Well, Shangguan deliberately ignored all the information he found. Bai Ling's method of making money is quite good, and he has at least a "huge deposit" of several hundred taels in his hand.
After all, Bai Ling really saved Shangguan once, so he deserved to be blackmailed for some money, otherwise Shangguan would still feel that he owed Bai Ling.
After looking around and seeing no one around, Bai Ling hurriedly threw all the money into the space. It was too unsafe to keep it on his body.
"I've made money, I've made money..." Bai Ling sang an Internet song and happily continued his fish-fishing plan, probably forgetting that there were so many fish in the space that it was almost a disaster.
During this period, Bai Sanshu and Chu Wen often went into the mountains to hunt. On this day, as usual, Chu Wen brought tools to Bai Sanshu and went into the mountains with him to set traps.
The game in autumn is fatter, and after a period of hibernation, it will be difficult to hunt animals.
Moreover, it is also dangerous in the mountains in winter. The traps are completely covered with snow or fallen leaves. If you are not careful, someone will be killed.
"Dad, let me go into the mountains with you too. I promise to follow you obediently and never run away." Bai Ling had seen the chestnut tree before and was thinking about how to get it back through the open road.
You must know that the family does not allow the sisters to go into the mountains. Bai Ling does not dare to step into the minefield of the family.
"Okay, let's go together then." Bai Sanshu always doted on his daughter, but seeing Bai Ling looking at him longingly, there was no way he could refuse.
So, Bai Ling and Bai Wei followed him into the mountains.
However, Bai Sanshu's legs and feet were not good, so he and Bai Wei stayed on the outside. They could chase game like pheasants and dig herbs.
Chu Wen carried the bow and arrow on his back and went to the mountains with Bai Ling. Along the way, he indispensably told Bai Ling how to avoid danger.
Bai Ling listened attentively. When he saw medicinal materials that he was interested in, he would quietly transplant them into the space. Animals and large trees did not dare to enter the space.
Because he was going into the mountains with Chu Wen, Bai Ling couldn't go straight to his destination, so he patiently followed Chu Wen.
"Brother Chu Wen, you can do whatever you usually do. Don't worry about me. I just dig out whatever I see along the way." Bai Ling said embarrassedly when he saw that Chu Wen always stopped to wait for him.
"Okay, then I will clean up the previous traps first and set traps nearby. Don't go outside the scope of my protection." Chu Wen nodded.
"Well, Brother Chu Wen, you are busy. There are a lot of medicinal herbs here. I am here and will not leave this area." Bai Ling gestured a certain distance, then squatted down to collect medicinal herbs.
Chu Wen looked around and determined that the area was still safe, so he strode forward to sort out the traps he had set before.
Just like that, the two of them walked further into the mountains without realizing it. When Bai Ling's stomach growled, they realized that it was already noon.
Standing up and stretching his waist, Bai Ling was about to tell Chu Wen to rest for a while and eat something before continuing, when his eyes lit up.
"Chestnut!" Bai Ling looked at a chestnut tree not far away, shouted excitedly, and ran towards the chestnut tree.
Chu Wen carried the basket and cloth bag and caught up with Bai Ling. He looked around with wary eyes, fearing that Bai Ling's voice would call the beast.
"You can't eat this." Seeing Bai Ling bending down to pick up chestnuts, Chu Wen hurriedly stopped him and said, "These thorns are very piercing, be careful!"
"Pfft!" Bai Ling couldn't help laughing. Seeing Chu Wen's serious look, he explained: "This is called a chestnut. Peel off the outer shell and the content inside is dried fruit. Stir-fry or boil it with sugar."
The rice and stew are both delicious."
Bai Ling smiled and took out the dagger, peeled off the husk of the chestnut, and cut a small slit at the end of the chestnut. After peeling off the husk, he handed it to Chu Wen.
"Brother Chu Wen, give it a try. This thing tastes normal when eaten raw, but it tastes better when cooked. It's also good for your health." While Bai Ling was talking, he didn't forget to peel one for himself.
Fearing that the chestnuts were poisonous, Chu Wen hurriedly ate them, thinking that if something happened to him, Bai Ling would not eat them.
But Chu Wen swallowed it wholeheartedly, choking and turning red in the face.
"Ahem..." Chu Wen covered his neck, his eyes red with discomfort.
"Quick, pat your chest and take a big gulp of water." Bai Ling hurriedly opened the kettle and handed it to Chu Wen.
After doing what Bai Ling said, Chu Wen felt better, but Lian was even redder than before, obviously feeling embarrassed.
"Thank you." Chu Wen awkwardly returned the kettle to Bai Ling, annoyed that he shouldn't have been in such a hurry.
"The more you chew, the more fragrant this thing becomes. Brother Chu Wen, you can try it. It's really delicious." Bai Ling handed Chu Wen the chestnuts he had just peeled, and said with a smile: "When I was hungry before,
I picked it up at the foot of the mountain and it’s really not poisonous.”
Bai Ling had no choice but to find a random reason to avoid being unable to explain.
Fortunately, Chu Wen was not a person who asked for details. After hearing what Bai Ling said, he felt relieved and ate one slowly. From the look on his face, he knew that he liked the taste quite a lot.
Bai Ling kicked a spot with his toes, sat down and slowly ate the raw chestnuts. Although he liked the taste, he was not greedy. He only ate three and stopped eating.
"This is the pancake I baked this morning. Brother Chu Wen, try it." Bai Ling opened the oil paper bag and handed a piece of scallion pancake to Chu Wen.
Farmers don't have much time to bake pancakes, and they are even less willing to add oil, so this scallion pancake is also a rarity.
Furthermore, the cakes made by Bai Ling are sprinkled with some sesame seeds, which makes them taste better and more fragrant.
Chu Wenwen wanted to refuse, but when he saw that Bai Ling had brought several cakes, he stopped being polite. He thought that if he had something to gain today, he would just give Bai Ling a piece of game.
The two of them ate scallion pancakes, drank cold water, and rested for a while. Bai Ling patted his half-full belly and said, "Brother Chu Wen, I'll give you the rest of the pancakes. My backpack is almost full."
, pick up some more chestnuts and go home first. When you go down the mountain, just help me take the herbs to my house." (To be continued)
