The wild vegetables in this place all smelled fresh and fragrant, and Fang Xiaoxi liked them very much. Recalling the production methods in the secret book, she began to get busy.
I rinsed the wild vegetables again, washed them again, started cutting them, and then prepared the seasonings. It was very busy.
The competition in Xianyou Town went on as usual, and soon the number of teams decreased from 35 to 18, then to 9 teams, and then to four teams, until only one team, Tianxia Yifang, remained.
Nan Nan was relieved to see that his team was finally qualified to compete on behalf of Xianyou Town! At least it wasn't as bad as Fang Xiaoxi said.
Now I can go and explain to Fang Xiaoxi. Before I went to find Fang Xiaoxi, I first met the village chief Fang: "Mr. Mu, come quickly, the county magistrate is looking for us! He said he has something to discuss."
Nan Nan said "oh" and could only follow Village Chief Fang to meet Fang Shaohua. I guess he was talking about the competition.
When I arrived at the government office and came in, I saw Fang Shaohua sitting at his seat handling some things.
"Nannan is here, and the village chief is here too. I just happened to have something to tell you. Go back and ask people to prepare. We will leave for the capital tomorrow."
I don’t know how much importance other towns attach to Cuju competitions. Anyway, the teams of each town are probably selected.
It's time to go to the city to compete, and select a team to represent the city to compete in Kyoto. Mu Nannan frowned: "Let's go tomorrow, okay, I understand."
Fang Shaohua frowned and said, "Nannan, you will lead the team this time. I won't go. What do you think? I'll let Zijiang and Liu Yifang escort you there."
Mu Nannan had no objection. If he wanted to go, he could go. What was the problem? He just nodded and said, "Okay, leave it to me."
Fang Shaohua nodded: "Okay, then go and prepare. If Village Chief Fang wants to go, he can go with us."
Village Chief Fang thought about it, but he still didn't have the courage to follow. He smiled and said, "I won't go. I have never left Xianyou Town in my life."
Although he wanted to go, Village Chief Fang was very self-aware. Originally, Tianxia Yifang represented Fangjia Village in the competition, which was an advantage for Fangjia Village.
Fang Shaohua nodded: "It's better not to go. This long journey is really tiring."
Nan Nan looked at Fang Shaohua: "If there is nothing else, I will ask someone to prepare first, and also notify Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi will definitely go."
Thinking about the person Xiaoxi is looking for, he should be waiting in the city now.
When the two of them came out of the county government office, Village Chief Fang knew that he had nothing to do at the moment, so he said goodbye.
"Master Mu, if everything is fine, I should go back."
Nan Nan smiled and said, "The village chief is going back to Fangjia Village. I also want to go there. Let's go together."
The village chief took a free ride in the carriage and returned to Fangjia Village. After saying goodbye to Mu Nannan, he returned home.
Nan Nan had someone drive a carriage to the villa, and after parking the carriage, he headed towards the back mountain.
After all, Fang Xiaoxi had just stepped into the hot spring in the back mountain, and Nan Nan was able to get the news.
"Meet the master, you are here."
Lin Chuyang looked at Nan Nan and immediately came over to pay his respects. Nan Nan nodded: "Where is my junior sister?"
"Since Miss Fang came, she took some wild vegetables and peppers with her after seeing the pepper seedlings and went into the kitchen. She rarely comes out except to eat. She is still in the kitchen now!"
Hmm? Nan Nan was a little curious. Didn't Fang Xiaoxi come back here to see Dabai? She was about to go out again, and she didn't spend time with Dabai.
"Okay, I'll go find her in the kitchen."
Nan Nan knew that Fang Xiaoxi had a special kitchen here, so she walked over.
As soon as I approached, I smelled a special fragrance. Is this a new product? I smiled and walked over and knocked on the door: "Xiao Xi, it's me."
Fang Xiaoxi opened the door and looked at Nan Nan: "Are the results out? Why are you here?"
Nan Nan nodded: "Of course the results are out. By the way, what are you doing?"
Fang Xiaoxi naturally wouldn't hide it from Nan Nan, and said with a smile: "After seeing these wild vegetables that day, I thought of a new spicy pickled vegetable, which is delicious."
"I tried to make some. The first batch is ready to eat. I think I'll have to wait a few days for the rest. I'll take them home and give them to my parents later."
Seeing Nan Nan, Fang Xiaoxi knew that they would be leaving soon: "By the way, when are you leaving when you come to see me?"
Nan Nan glanced at Fang Xiaoxi, leaned against the door, and said with a smile: "Tomorrow."
Fang Xiaoxi's eyes widened, a little speechless: "Are you sure you are not kidding me? Tomorrow? How can I make it in time? Forget it, I won't talk nonsense with you, I have to get busy first."
Nan Nan stood aside, watching Fang Xiaoxi busy packing up various things: "Do you want me to help?"
Fang Xiaoxi rolled her eyes: "No, don't make trouble here anymore. I will show up on time tomorrow, go and arrange your affairs."
"We're leaving tomorrow, why are you hanging around here today? Have you notified them?"
Nan Nan nodded: "I will do the work, you can rest assured. Of course I will notify them. But I am the first one to inform you, I will leave first."
Fang Xiaoxi looked at Nan Nan's back speechlessly, then quickly continued to pack her things.
After calling Lin Chuyang and arranging for her to leave, no one is allowed to enter the kitchen.
After giving the instructions, Fang Xiaoxi took the things and went into the village, first went to the villa to ride the horse, and then went home.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back."
When she came back, Fang's mother and father were at home. They saw Fang Xiaoxi holding a lot of things and took them from her.
"Where have you been? Why did you come up with so many things?"
Fang Xiaoxi put down the hot sauce: "This is the hot sauce dish I made. This is the secret recipe. Dad, give it to the third brother when he comes back."
"By the way, our Cuju team won the qualification to represent the town to go to the prefectural capital to organize the whole city, so I may have to leave for a while again."
Fang's father and mother looked at each other. Even if the master was not around, they could not keep their daughter by their side.
"Go ahead. You're a girl, you must take good care of yourself outside."
Fang Xiaoxi said with a smile: "Mom, I'm already such a big girl, and I've been running around outside for a long time. Don't worry, I will take good care of myself."
Fang's mother thought about it and nodded: "That's right, then what do you need to prepare? I'll help you."
Fang Xiaoxi leaned against her mother and said, "Mom, I've already packed everything. I'll come back to bring you some freshly made spicy pickles. Try them and see if they're delicious."
"Let Third Brother make a batch and send it out for trial sale. Just let Third Brother handle these matters. I'm in a hurry, so I'll leave first."
He rode away on his horse in a hurry. Fang's father and mother looked at each other and decided to wait for the third brother to come back.
When Fang Xiaoxi arrived in the town, she saw that the team members were packing their luggage, preparing to set off tomorrow.
"The deputy captain is back. We are packing up and leaving tomorrow."
Fang Xiaoxi nodded: "Pack up, I have packed all my things."
She did not set out alone, she brought Dongmai and Qiumi with her, and naturally these two people packed up the things.
"Girl, everything is packed and we are ready to leave tomorrow."
Fang Xiaoxi nodded. She had been busy making spicy pickles for the past three days, which was still a bit tiring.
"I brought it back to add to the kitchen tonight. Okay, I'm going to take a rest. Call me when it's time for dinner."
After rushing back from the back mountain, I stopped in Fangjia Village for a while. I was still quite tired.
Nan Nan learned that Fang Xiaoxi had returned and wanted to come over to see her. But when she got over, she heard that Fang Xiaoxi was going to rest, so she had to go back in disappointment.
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day. Liu Yifang and Zijiang had already arrived. They were invited in: "Master Mu, can we set off now?"
Nan Nan nodded: "Of course we can set off, okay, let's go.
He waved his hand and asked the servant beside him to call for help, and Chuanwu turned around and went downstairs to call for help.
Soon, the players of Tianxia Yifang came out, each holding a Cuju in their arms. Liu Yifang looked at this scene with some confusion.
"What is this for?"
Nan Nan smiled and said, "This is the special feature of our team. You haven't seen it yet. Let's go and show it to you. Okay, let's go."
When Nan Nan shouted the word "departure", the team members suddenly shouted in unison: "Departure."
Then he put the Cuju in his hand directly on the ground and started running with the Cuju in his feet to hurry on his way.
Liu Yifang and Zi Jiang looked at each other, looking at the scene in front of them: "How long can they run like this?"
"We are not in a hurry, so there is no need."
Nan Nan laughed: "You don't know this, right? This is to train their endurance, not to hurry up. Chuanwu, go get the carriage, and we'll set off too."
"By the way, Captain Liu, are you and Painter Zijiang riding horses or taking a car?"
Liu Yifang quickly said, "Horse a horse. We both ride a horse."
Nan Nan nodded: "Okay, let's go. Tell my sister to get on the carriage, we are about to set off."
Fang Xiaoxi has already reached the door: "Let's go."
After getting on the carriage, I saw Nan Nan also took out a Cuju and started chasing after the team members.
Liu Yifang and Zijiang looked at each other, still a little slow to react. It was Fang Xiaoxi in the carriage who called out, "You can go now."
The carriage team also started to set off, and the carriages were filled with the team members' clothes and other personal belongings.
People in the town also came out to watch the fun. It was quite interesting to see the players of Tianxia Yifang running with Cuju.
"So this is how they usually train when traveling, no wonder they are so strong. The most important thing is that they have good endurance, and exercising is good for the body."
Fang Xiaoxi found it a little funny to hear people outside praising her. It was a good thing that Nan Nan could come up with this idea.
