Ye Jiayao slept until dawn, but Xia Chunyu was not there when she woke up. Next to the pillow was a pile of women's clothes, all of which seemed to be new. Are these the clothes Peng Wu got back
Ye Jiayao rummaged through and picked out a silver-red bellyband, a moon-white floral jacket and a crescent-colored pleated silk skirt. She quickly changed out of the loose robe and put on new clothes. When she got out of bed, she To my surprise, there were seven or eight pairs of embroidered shoes in various colors neatly placed in front of the bed.
Damn it, what woman doesn't love beautiful clothes and beautiful shoes? Ye Jiayao's mood is as if the plum blossom has finally come out, she is so happy.
Seeing that he danced for her last night, was used as a scaffolding by her all night, and had so many beautiful new clothes today, Ye Jiayao decided to forgive his ferocity and cruelty.
Everyone can be transformed! Judging from the current situation, he still has a lot of room for improvement.
There was something to eat on the round table. The first thing that caught his eye was a bowl of red wild strawberries. Ye Jiayao smiled. Even though this guy had a tough mouth, he still had a soft heart.
After eating two wild strawberries, Ye Jiayao went to lift the basket next to her. Inside were white porridge and steamed buns. The meat had been removed from the steamed buns.
Woo hoo... This guy turned out to have such a considerate side. Ye Jiayao was so moved that she almost cried. While drinking the porridge, she thought, should she continue to pretend to be sick
The fever has subsided. I don't know whether it was Mr. Liu's medicine that took effect or because she was in a good mood, but she would never admit that it was his soul-calling credit. She is an intellectual with higher education in the 21st century. Don't believe this weird theory.
It can be seen that his patience has almost reached its limit. If he continues to challenge, it may really bore him. Potential must be tapped bit by bit, and patience must be cultivated bit by bit. Don't rush it, otherwise it will be counterproductive. .
After Ye Jiayao had finished eating and drinking, she opened the door and went out. The kitchen door was open, and there was a smell of medicine coming out of it. Ye Jiayao went in and saw that Song Qi was squatting in front of the stove, fanning the fire, and making medicine for her.
"Song Qi."
"Sister-in-law, you're up. It's great. Sister-in-law, you are finally fine." Song Qi said happily. My sister-in-law has recovered from the illness, and the Third Master's face will not be so smelly. Moreover, it means that there is good food to eat again. .
"Where's the third boss?" Ye Jiayao asked.
"The third master went out early in the morning. He didn't say where he was going. Peng Wu took the brothers to practice. I was left at home to boil medicine for my sister-in-law! By the way, sister-in-law, are there enough wild strawberries? If not, I will pick them again. There are still more on the mountain. There’s a lot of it, but it will be gone in a few days.”
"Did you pick the wild strawberries?"
"Yeah, I thought my sister-in-law liked to eat it, so I went to pick it early in the morning."
"Isn't it the third master's order?"
"Look what my sister-in-law said, do you still need the third master to give orders for such a trivial matter?" Song Qi said with a smile.
Ye Jiayao's mood suddenly became bad and she was a little disappointed. She thought this was all done by the gangsters for her.
"Thank you, Song Qi." Ye Jiayao forced a smile.
"It's okay, it's okay, you are my sister-in-law! If you have anything to do in the future, just ask me." Song Qi said doggedly.
Ye Jiayao thought of something and asked, "Did Peng Wu buy the realgar powder you mentioned when he went down the mountain?"
"I bought it! Sister-in-law, wait a moment, I'll get it." Song Qi handed the fan to Ye Jiayao and ran to get the realgar powder.
"Here, I bought a big bag, sister-in-law, why don't you go and sprinkle it on now?" Song Qi opened the paper bag, and a gust of wind happened to blow, and the realgar powder smeared on him, making his face full of tears.
Ye Jiayao frowned and said, "Just spread it like this and it will be gone in a while. Do we still have wine here?"
Song Qi cried: "Yes..."
"Go and get the jar of wine, pour the realgar powder in, stir it evenly, and spray it around the yard, doors, windows and other places." Ye Jiayao said.
Song Qi hesitated and said: "But there is only one jar of wine left, and that is the Shaoxing Huadiao that the Third Master likes most."
"I'll just buy it next time when the wine is gone." Ye Jiayao thinks it's more important to prevent insects and snakes.
Song Qixin said that this wine is not easy to buy. Last time, they robbed a caravan from the south and only got five jars in total. Even the third master was reluctant to drink it. But since my sister-in-law has told me, I will do it, and I can’t blame him if I want to.
Song Qi went to spray the realgar wine, and Ye Jiayao opened the medicine jar, smelled the unpleasant smell, then covered her nose and poured the medicine.
Xia Chunyu came down from the mountain and handed the medicine basket on his back to Uncle Jiang: "Uncle Jiang, give this to Song Qi and let him plant it in the backyard."
Uncle Jiang chuckled: "Okay!"
"Let Aunt Jiang go to my place and help me later."
"I know, I'll call her right away."
Xia Chunyu looked in the direction of her yard, wondering if she was feeling better. She seemed to have stopped having a fever when she went out in the morning.
Ye Jiayao waited for Song Qi to spray the front and back yards with realgar wine before taking the basin to the well to wash clothes. As soon as I hoisted the bucket of water up, I heard someone behind me say, "Third Madam, leave it alone while I come."
Ye Jiayao turned around and saw that it was Aunt Jiang.
"Aunt Jiang, why are you here?"
"The third boss called me here. You are still sick, how can you do such rough work." Aunt Jiang grabbed the bucket, poured the water into the basin, rolled up her sleeves and started working.
Ye Jiayao thought about the dirty clothes and pants inside, so she had the nerve to ask others to wash them, so she hurriedly said: "I'd better do it myself!"
Aunt Jiang blocked her with one hand and said, "Third Madam, you go and have a rest. I will finish this work in one go."
Seeing her holding her red bellyband and rubbing it, Ye Jiayao was very embarrassed, but she thought she couldn't get it back, so she had to give up and moved a small bench to sit next to her and chat with her.
Aunt Jiang is also a chatty person, so she doesn’t need to be afraid of being left out.
"Third Madam, I heard that you were frightened by the snake."
"Yeah, it's so scary. Aunt Jiang, have you ever encountered a snake?"
"It's not common to encounter snakes when you live in the mountains, but I'm not afraid. My old man planted a lot of weeds behind the house. Snakes are most afraid of the smell of this kind of grass and don't dare to come. No, three This morning, my old man and I went up the mountain to pick weeping grass. My old man will come over later and plant some in your yard," Aunt Jiang said.
Ye Jiayao was very surprised. It turned out that he went out early in the morning to pick weeping pot grass.
"Let me tell you, the weeping potted plants are hard to find. They are all on the cliff. It seems that the Third Master cares about you very much." Aunt Jiang smiled ambiguously.
Ye Jiayao smiled coquettishly and thought to herself: Tsk, I feel bad for him. He was bored because the window was closed.
"Aunt Jiang, why did you and your family come up the mountain?"
"It's a long story, but I'm not forced to live anymore, otherwise who would want to be a bandit? My old man is a carpenter, and he makes bows, arrows, and mechanisms for the village. But he doesn't have to go down the mountain to rob, so it's pretty safe. "
Ye Jiayao nodded: "Does the third master often go down the mountain?" She remembered that the first master mentioned attacking Xinyi last night.
Aunt Jiang said: "Before the Third Master came, the Second Master was the most skilled in martial arts in the village. The Second Master took his people to the big and small battles. Once the Third Master came, the Second Master rarely left the mountain."
"No, I heard that we are going to attack Xinyi Town a while ago. That's a tough move. The second master failed to capture it after several attacks in the past. It's up to the third master. If the third master can capture it, it will be another great achievement."
Ye Jiayao couldn't help but worry. She thought the bandits made a living by robbing. Who knew what town they would attack? Aunt Jiang said that this town was not easy to fight, so would the bandits be in danger? She had just arrived at the village, and her footing was not yet stable. No matter how bad the bandits were, she could still rely on her. If something happened to the bandits, who would she rely on
Seeing Ye Jiayao's silence, Aunt Jiang thought she was worried about the safety of the Third Master's family, so she said, "Third Madam, don't worry, the Third Master's family has never suffered a defeat since they came up the mountain! Even the most difficult Juxian Village was captured. , and only a very small number of men and horses were lost. People in the village said that the third leader was born at the wrong time, otherwise he would definitely be a good general."
Ye Jiayao said to her heart, there is no victorious general in this world.
Just as he was talking, Song Qi came in with an old man, carrying a basket of grass in his hand.
"Why are you here?" Aunt Jiang complained when she saw the old man.
The old man laughed and said, "I came early. The weeping grass outside has been planted, and the rest is planted in the backyard."
Aunt Jiang smiled and introduced to Ye Jiayao: "This is my old man."
Ye Jiayao smiled at him: "Uncle Jiang, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard work, the herbs are all picked by the third boss, I just help." Uncle Jiang said with a smile.
Song Qi asked: "Sister-in-law, where are the medicines in the kitchen?"
Ye Jiayao said casually: "I drank."
Song Qi scratched his head, wondering: So fast
The two dug up the soil at the base of the wall and planted the herbs.
Ye Jiayao was a little skeptical: "Can this thing really work?"
Uncle Jiang said: "Third Madam, don't underestimate this herbal medicine. It has a miraculous effect in detoxifying snake venom. Snakes will not go to places where this herb is available. If unfortunately you are bitten by a snake, just pick a few leaves, crush them and apply them, and you will see immediate results." "
Ye Jiayao felt more at ease after hearing what he said sincerely. Realgar wine and magical herbs provide double protection, so it should be very safe.
After washing the clothes, Aunt Jiang went to clean again, and Ye Jiayao was in the kitchen thinking about what to make delicious for lunch.
Aunt Jiang brought a piece of fresh pork belly, a few tender lotus roots, freshly dug spring bamboo shoots, a killed chicken, plus the leftover mutton, mushrooms, cucumbers, and radishes from last night. Ye Jiayao thought about it and got it. , let’s make a braised lion’s head, braised spring bamboo shoots in oil, braised chicken with mushrooms, fried lotus root cakes, and then a dish of cold cucumbers and stir-fried mutton with garlic. The six dishes should be enough to feed six people.
Seeing that it was almost time, Ye Jiayao started to prepare lunch.
First, chop a piece of pork belly into minced meat, peel and wash a section of tender lotus root, and cut it into jasmine. Originally, it is best to use water chestnuts to make braised lion head, which has a crisper texture, but tender lotus roots can also be used. It is sweet and delicious, and has a unique flavor. Flavor. Flatten the onions and cut them into long strips, and soak the ginger slices in water.
Take an egg and beat it into the minced meat and lotus root, add various seasonings and starch, and then mix evenly with the soaked onion and ginger water. Adding egg liquid can make the meatballs more chewy and tender.
Ye Jiayan had almost all the dishes ready when Aunt Jiang came in.
"Third Madam, why are you so busy again? Let me do it."
Ye Jiayao smiled and said: "I'm already well and plan to cook a delicious meal for noon. You and Uncle Jiang can both stay and eat!"
