"Animal? How could this be an animal?" Yin Xun supported his head and looked at Shuipu.
Bai Yuehu ignored him and looked away lazily.
Lu Qingjiu said, "I don't know... Let's go, don't worry about this thing." He intuited that the animals in Bai Yuehu's mouth must be different from the animals they understood. He continued to ask, who knew what earth-shattering words Bai Yuehu would say. Come.
So the three bypassed the small puddle and went down the mountain with a basket of mushrooms.
According to normal circumstances, mushrooms are best eaten after drying, which is safer to eat. However, if Bai Yuehu is there, he said that the mushrooms are not poisonous, so it should be fine.
Lu Qingjiu washed the picked mushrooms with clean water, and then asked Yin Xun to bring the chicken he had specially bought to stew the mushrooms here. Of course, the chick is not a chick, but a young rooster that has not yet grown up. The meat is tender and the bones are crispy, and it is very fragrant after being stewed with mushrooms.
Yin Xun carried the knife, quickly slaughtered the chicken, and squatted on the ground to remove the feathers from the chicken.
Lu Qingjiu was about to take some bran from the house to feed the pigs in the pigsty when the phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was his colleague's number. After hesitating for a while, he picked it up.
"Hey, Zhu Miaomiao, is something wrong?" Lu Qingjiu asked.
"Sake, what will we do if you don't come back." From inside came the sad cry of Lu Qingjiu's colleague Zhu Miaomiao, "We all miss you so much."
Lu Qingjiu: "Did you work overtime?"
Zhu Miaomiao: "Jia is dying. The worst thing is that he can't recruit people. The recruited people leave within a month. They say that no matter how high the salary is, they will die suddenly."
Lu Qingjiu said, "It's definitely impossible for me to go back." He tilted his head and spoke with his phone between his hands. He dug out the bran that the piglet wanted to eat and put it into a bucket.
"Ah!" Zhu Miaomiao screamed.
Lu Qingjiu said, "Is there anything else?"
"Where the hell did you go? I see that the house you rented has been retired..." Zhu Miaomiao asked.
"I told you, I went back to my hometown to farm." Lu Qingjiu replied, "I just went up the mountain to pick a bunch of mushrooms this afternoon."
"Where is your hometown? My boss and I took a few days off and wanted to come out to play." Zhu Miaomiao said.
"Ask for leave? Can you still ask for leave?" Lu Qingjiu was shocked.
"What's the matter, he didn't let me take a leave of absence and I resigned, but in the end I didn't agree." Zhu Miaomiao said, "Don't say it, I also want to pick mushrooms..."
Lu Qingjiu told her the address of her hometown, and told her to call him when she got to the county seat, so that he could pick her up, otherwise he was afraid that it would not be safe for her to come over by taxi. Zhu Miaomiao agreed well, and said that he would buy the nearest train ticket immediately.
Lu Qingjiu hung up the phone, carried the feed and went to the pigsty. After raising it at home for half a month, the little white pig grew a circle, but Xiaohua Xiaohei was still the same as before, with the chipmunk-like fluff on it. Not long. Lu Qingjiu looked at them happily eating feed with their heads lowered, and knocked on the door: "Why don't you eat meat without growing?"
Xiaohua raised her head and glanced at Lu Qingjiu, her eyes were full of contempt, as if she was despising Lu Qingjiu for underestimating their IQ. Will this pig have a good end when it grows meat...
Lu Qingjiu, despised by a pig: "… "
"Hey, what I'm thinking is that when you grow up, I'll put you back in the forest." Lu Qingjiu reluctantly said, "Can you be more aggressive?"
"Hum, hum, hum." Xiaohua hummed twice, and put down what she was chewing in her mouth. She looked like a rogue that I wouldn't grow meat, and I'd have to stay here.
Lu Qingjiu was speechless, and even thought about pulling this little black brat out of the pigsty and beating him. In the end he held back and told himself not to care about a pig.
The chick I just bought at home is much cuter than these two pigs. Every day, he runs around in the yard chatting, pecking at the stones and insects on the ground, which makes the whole yard lively.
Lu Qingjiu cut the chicken that Yin Xun had killed into chicken pieces, washed it, put it in a pot and fry it for a while, then added water and soy sauce, added the mushrooms that were just picked today, and simmered it in a casserole for several hours.
Chicken and mushrooms are a perfect match. Mushrooms are already delicious, and the addition of fresh chicken is even more fragrant. Although I haven't tasted the taste, my mouth is full.
Bai Yuehu went to the field to water and returned, and told Lu Qingjiu that the tomatoes at home had already grown and they would be ready to eat in two days.
Lu Qingjiu was shocked. It's only been more than a month, so why did it end? He said, "It's really over? Will others suspect anything?"
"No." Bai Yuehu said, "I explained."
Lu Qingjiu said, "How do you explain it?"
Bai Yuehu said: "I said I used fertilizers."
Lu Qingjiu: "... They didn't say anything else?"
Bai Yuehu shook his head and yawned, "No, just tell me that the fertilizer will taste less delicious if you use it on vegetables." Most of the people in their village grow their own land, so naturally I won't add pesticides and the like, after all, I eat it at home.
"Oh." Lu Qingjiu didn't know what to say, so he could only say, "It's hard work, then you eat more at night."
Bai Yuehu nodded, looking quite satisfied with Lu Qingjiu's words.
The chicken was simmered for two hours, it was completely soft, and the mushrooms inside completely absorbed the chicken soup. Lu Qingjiu also fried shredded pork with green peppers and a vegetable, so dinner was done.
The three of them were very satisfied. Bai Yuehu ate the chicken without even throwing up the bones. After a few crunching noises, the white teeth chewed the bones into pieces and swallowed them all.
Yin Xun muttered softly beside him. Bai Yuehu glared at him sideways, his eyes were very unkind, like a beast guarding food.
Lu Qingjiu even suspected that if Yin Xun ate a little more, Bai Yuehu would have an opinion...
After the three of them finished their meal, Yin Xun went back to his house. Lu Qingjiu and Bai Yuehu sat in the yard to rest. Lu Qingjiu took out the fried melon seeds and marinated beef as snacks.
"I have a friend coming to play in two days." Lu Qingjiu said, "It's a girl. I'm going to stay here for a few days."
Bai Yuehu hummed, he looked up at the sky and said, "Tell her not to run up the mountain."
"Why?" Lu Qingjiu was a little strange.
"Don't run to the mountains recently." Bai Yuehu said, "In spring, there are many animals."
Lu Qingjiu immediately remembered the puddle that Bai Yuehu called an animal that they encountered in the morning, and he said, "What animal is that."
"I don't remember." Bai Yuehu said, "because the taste is so bad."
Lu Qingjiu: "..." The things that don't seem delicious enough don't even deserve a name here.
"It can remember the appearance of a person." Bai Yuehu said, "As long as you look at it." According to Bai Yuehu, the water is like a mirror. Live as you are, and if you look at it as a person, it will pull you in, drown and eat your soul.
Lu Qingjiu said, "What will happen if it remembers it?"
Bai Yuehu: "I will come to you."
Lu Qingjiu was startled: "...Then Yin Xun is in danger!"
Bai Yuehu said: "It doesn't matter, this thing usually doesn't go down the mountain, it moves very slowly, and it only appears in spring, it's a waste." He defined this thing lightly, and took a piece of beef and put it in his mouth. Inside, his eyes narrowed contentedly, and said, "Delicious."
Lu Qingjiu was relieved.
The two ate almost the beef, and it was getting dark. Lu Qingjiu drove the chicks to the chicken pen, and then turned back to the house to sleep.
It started to rain before dawn the next morning. The rain was not big and it fell on the ground, making people even more drowsy. Du Dao Chunmian didn't realize it, and Lu Qingjiu lay on the bed for a while. When he got up, Bai Yuehu also got up. Standing in the yard, he didn't know what he was doing. He had to say that Bai Yuehu was a landscape. With a layer of slightly shimmering silver, he was hazy in the rain, as if he was about to become an immortal in the next moment.
Lu Qingjiu quietly took a photo with his mobile phone next to him, but Bai Yuehu noticed something and turned to look at Lu Qingjiu.
"Good morning." Lu Qingjiu put the phone in his pocket and calmly greeted Bai Yuehu.
"Okay." Bai Yuehu said, "I fed the chicken."
"Oh, hard work." Lu Qingjiu said, "What do you want to eat in the morning?"
"Eat noodles." Bai Yuehu said, "I want to eat eggs."
Lu Qingjiu nodded. He was picking up his apron and tying it up, turning around and walking towards the kitchen when he heard a knock at the door. He thought it was Yin Xun, so he came in. Who knew that after the door was pushed open, It showed Zhu Miaomiao's face wet by the rain.
"Zhu Miaomiao?!" Lu Qingjiu was stunned, "Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
Zhu Miaomiao said: "What are you talking about, I can find it myself." She entered the courtyard door and saw Bai Yuehu standing beside her with no expression at first glance, and said with round eyes, "Lu Qingjiu, you can do it. , I said what are you doing in such a hurry to go back to your hometown, you are secretly hiding in the golden house!"
Lu Qingjiu: "I'm not, I don't!"
He thought that Bai Yuehu would be angry, but who knew that he turned around and left without changing his face, leaving a meaningful back to the two of them.
Zhu Miaomiao glanced at Lu Qingjiu: "Tsk tsk tsk, scumbag, I don't even give people a name, look, people are angry."
Lu Qingjiu: "..." You are really not afraid of death.
