The sweet potatoes and potatos in the field grew very well. Aunt Dou came to work every day and looked at these lush crops, doing everything very vigorously.
On this day, Aunt Dou went to work in the fields and picked some sweet potato leaves back home. Because there is no oil, just put it in the pot and stir-fry it twice before shoveling it up.
Qi Xuan said, “Peel off the sweet potato stems when they are at home, wash them and fry them with lard. The taste is very good.” He who doesn't like vegetables very much, likes them very much.
Aunt Dou Bai looked at Qixuan and said, "This is not nonsense, what kind of dish is not delicious with lard? The cold wild vegetables with lard is also very delicious."
Qi Xuan used to be very particular about eating, but now he can't even eat domestic pork.
Aunt Dou looked down at him and couldn't help cheering him up: "Practice well, I'm still waiting to eat the wild animals you hunt!" In fact, Aunt Dou has no confidence.
Speaking of this, Qi Xuan and Aunt Dou said: "I am going to exercise with weights." The so-called weight exercise is to tie a few sandbags to the body and exercise.
Aunt Dou certainly has no objection.
Qi Xuan said embarrassedly: "Exercising with weights will have a lot of appetite." Before, he only considered the taste of food and never cared about the amount of food, but now it's the other way around.
"It's okay, there will be more than half a month to go out of the mountain to purchase, when you go out with them. Buy more grain and grow it back, we have a variety of grains, and there is something to eat." They have no children, as long as they are willing to work and eat. Still no problem.
Qi Xuan now considers the problem more realistically: "We don't have money. It's impossible to buy food to bring it back so far. We also buy some daily necessities." For example, salt and cloth, these must be bought. If it gets hot today, they are still wearing autumn clothes. It’s also cool on the mountain, and I’m afraid that the prickly heat has already come out in the capital.
After a pause, Qi Xuan said, "There is no bud valley here, I will bring some bud valley seeds back." It is said that bud valley is planted on wasteland and the harvest will be good. There is exactly one acre of land that has not been opened up, and then all the buds will be planted.
Aunt Dou thinks this is a good idea.
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was time to purchase once every three months.
Aunt Dou was thinking about how to tell the village chief that she hoped that people in the village would take Qixuan out to make purchases. Unexpectedly, the village chief would take the initiative to mention this.
The village chief said: "Your salt is almost gone? The village will go out to buy the next day, should the army go together?" Ajia Village is self-sufficient, and there is no need to buy anything except salt. As for oil, none of them had eaten that stuff.
Aunt Dou was overjoyed: "Okay, thanks the village chief."
The village chief was also infected, and said with a smile: "No thanks. But there are some things, I have to tell you clearly."
The young and middle-aged in Ajia Village go out to buy, and they must bring back 50 catties of salt every month. The fifty catties of salt are to be handed in, and other things are free to purchase.
In the village, some women and children who are not young and mature cannot go to the market, but they have to eat salt. Therefore, there is this hard requirement.
Qi Xuan listened very carefully.
The village chief said, "This is the first time you have gone, and you have just recovered from a serious injury, so you are not required to hand in 50 catties of salt this time. But next time, you have to follow the village's rules. "Otherwise the villagers should have opinions.
Although Qixuan didn't like the villagers in Ajia Village, he lived in the back of the village and he was sheltered by the villagers.
Qi Xuan nodded and said, "It should be."
Aunt Dou talked to Qi Xuan about everything she was going to buy. In addition to the necessity of salt, there are many kinds of food.
Listening, Qi Xuan suddenly said: "We have no money, how do we buy things?" Because of the experience of being driven out of the capital, Qi Xuan deliberately brought a purse of golden leaves. As a result, he didn't know when he was touched by Gu Jiu.
Aunt Dou gave him a white look, and said, "You only know that you have no money now? I really have to wait for you to think of it. It must be a trip for nothing."
After hearing this, Qi Xuan asked with a look of surprise: "You have money? But isn't your jewelry box also taken away by Gu Jiu?" This Gu Jiu is really cruel, and he didn't leave them a copper plate. Down.
Aunt Dou reached out and picked up the collar of her dress, and then took out a gold necklace from it. There was also a small golden Buddha pendant on the necklace.
Qi Xuan was surprised and delighted: "When did you hide it?" Just taking out these two things was enough for them to buy.
"I have always carried the necklace." Fortunately, Gu Jiu is the man who didn't search her body, otherwise, even if he can go out now, he won't have the money to buy things.
Qi Xuan said: "Fortunately, you have taken precautions, otherwise the seeds will not be able to buy."
Aunt Dou nodded.
After thinking about it, Qi Xuan said to Aunt Dou, "I want to buy a knife and practice my skills in the future."
Seeing Aunt Dou looking at him, Qi Xuan explained: "I can't remember all the martial arts I learned before, but I only remember the Yunjia sword technique."
"The Yun Family Sword Technique?"
Qi Xuan said with a hum, "This is handed down by my great-grandfather. Except for my second elder sister, all five of our siblings have learned this set of swordsmanship." Yun's swordsmanship can all be remembered, thanks to Zaozao. After the three brothers learned this technique, Zaozao tested them on a whim. As a result, the three brothers were abused decently. Later, Qi Rui practiced this set of swords, and asked him to feed Qiyou. After a long time, it will naturally become overripe.
Means, this is a kung fu that is not spread out.
Aunt Dou said: "I will give you the Golden Buddha this time. The gold necklace should be kept for emergencies." Gu Jiu is to ensure their lives are safe, but don't even think about it. If not, they will not be wiped out of their money.
In fact, Gu Jiu didn't know that Aunt Dou still had gold jewelry on her body, and the confiscated was to save them some money to buy things. Otherwise, they couldn't afford food and salt, and if they couldn't survive, they couldn't force him to show up.
After talking for a long time, both of them were sleepy.
Sleeping in the middle of the night, Aunt Dou woke up suddenly. Pushing Qixuan, who was sleeping like a dead pig, to wake up, Aunt Dou said: "Yun Qixuan, you have to escape this time when you go out and leave me alone in this ghost place. I won't let you be a ghost."
I just dreamed that after Qixuan went out, he never came back. But she was forced to marry Niti, and never walked out of the mountain again in her life. In the rest of his life, I never saw my son Yikang again.
Thinking of this nightmare, Aunt Dou shuddered. She can now be busy from morning to night, too tired to walk and not discouraged, because she knows that one day she will be able to return to Beijing. But if you want to stay in Dashan and can't return to Beijing, then you really can't live.
Qi Xuan was in a daze, and couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Why would I leave you and run away. Besides, even if I want to run, I can't run. Gu Jiu will definitely catch me and send it back. If you really want to run away, I'm afraid that my parents will really give up on me and don't care about me."
Hey, Aunt Dou said: "You don't resent the Emperor and the Queen Mother?"
Qi Xuan shook his head and said: "I am not filial. I only knew complaining before, but I never thought about the difficulty of my parents. During the time I was lying in bed, I recalled the past. Although my mother was very busy, she wanted me to get sick. If you feel uncomfortable, she will be by my side."
Aunt Dou really wanted to beat Qixuan twice: "I'm sick, and my mother doesn't have time to take care of me. I asked the aunt next door to take care of me."
"You don't have time to take care of you when you are sick?"
"My dad can't handle it by leaving the ship alone, and there is no money to pay if he has to delay the day. There are five mouths in the family waiting for food!" After that, Aunt Dou couldn't help cursing again: "So you are in Fuzhong. I don’t know the blessings. Since I was young I can read and learn from famous teachers, and there are experts who teach you martial arts. I started to take care of my younger brother when I was four years old. Both of my younger brothers were brought up by me. Until now, I still don’t know how to write. One!"
Qi Xuan felt wrong when he heard this: "I didn't teach you before, how come I don't know one big character?"
Aunt Dou rolled her eyes and said, "I forgot." Because she didn't know a big hand, she only admired him when she saw Qi Xuan who could recite poems and make fus. As a result, I pit myself.
Qi Xuan's mouth twitched, but he had been teaching for more than three months. As a result, I didn't even remember a word. This is really a piece of dead wood, I hope my son will not look like her.
"Tomorrow I have to get up early and go to bed!"
Qixuan soon fell asleep.
Turning around and looking at Qixuan who was sleeping, Aunt Dou sighed and said in a subtle voice: "If I don't know you, it would be great." The words were full of bitterness.
Yun Qixuan, who used to be lascivious and irresponsible, was a hundred people look down upon her. But now Qi Xuan is gradually getting better, her heart is gratified and uncomfortable, and her mood is very complicated.
She is just a concubine, farewell to Yun Qixuan. And only the princess can stand with him. The two of them should stand side by side.
Aunt Dou was shocked when she saw Dai Yanxin for the first time. At the time, she couldn't figure out why Dai Yanxin was so beautiful, why Yun Qixuan would fancy herself. But when she saw more than a dozen concubines in the backyard, she didn't want to think about it again.
After thinking about how Aunt Dou couldn't sleep, she just got up to cook for Qi Xuan.
I borrowed two liters of corn from the village chief, which has been ground into flour. When the fire was turned on, Aunt Dou bake them all into cakes. Because of the addition of meat, this pancake is particularly fragrant. Aunt Dou herself couldn't help but ate a piece.
When Qixuan got up, Aunt Dou had already baked all the cakes.
Seeing two pockets of pancakes, Qi Xuan asked in surprise: "How do you bake so much? Didn't the village chief say, just need to bring two days of dry food?" When I went out of the mountain, he walked empty-handed. quick. It is estimated that I will be in town in a day and a half. But because I brought a lot of things, I can come back in two and a half days if it is fast, and it will take three or four days to get home if it is slow.
Aunt Dou said, "One is for you, and the other is for Nitti." Aunt Dou was really embarrassed after eating so much meat. After hearing the village chief’s wife said that Niti would also go to the market, she thought about making him some food.
Qi Xuan hesitated and said, "Since you are not interested in him, you still don't want to make things for him. If he gets something, he will think about it." It gives no hope, and it will not get what he wants in the end, and it will not be sad. Up.
This auntie Dou really didn't expect: "Then tell him, you asked me to make this pancake."
Qi Xuan nodded.
