Chapter 59 Mu Qiong was so scared that her face turned pale

The further they went south, Tao Xi and the others found that dry and cracked land seemed to be rare. Although it was still dry, the land under their feet was obviously in better condition.

There are even some unknown grasses on the roadside. Even if there is no food, people don't have to dig up the roots to eat them.

Such a scene made everyone happy. Li Zheng was even more excited and couldn't help himself. He even came to Jian Shiming and said:

"Brother Ming, you see the road conditions are getting better and better now. I believe we will soon find a place willing to accept us."

"Um."

Jian Shiming also had a smile on his face. The most difficult part of the road had been passed and they seemed to see hope.

In the afternoon, the large team stopped at a small stream to repair. Tao Xi took everyone's bamboo tubes to fill the water.

The water in the creek is very clear and plentiful, so everyone no longer has to rush to fill it. Tao Xi uses his sleeves to block everyone's view and secretly pours the water from the space into the bamboo tube.

When she came back, she found Mu Qiong's carriage parked next to them. Mu Qiong did not shamelessly come up to talk to Jian Shiming this time.

The guards moved a chair for her, and Mu Qiong sat on the chair. Mu Zhi next to her held an oil-paper umbrella to block the sun for her.

It was almost sunset at this time, the sun was not too bright, and Muqiong looked very artificial.

"Ms. sir, I just filled the bottle with water."

Tao Xi's voice was so sweet that she even felt sick of it. This time she made no mistake and handed Jian Shiming's bamboo tube to him.

"Master Jian!"

When Mu Qiong saw Jian Shiming taking the bamboo tube, he immediately said: "The water in this creek is somewhat unclean.

This is the water I loaded from the well in the county, you can drink it."

Holding a water bag in her hand, she got up and came to their bullock cart. Her beautiful eyes were full of expectation, but Jian Shiming didn't take it.

"Thank you for your kindness, girl, but I'm just a woman."

When he faced Mu Qiong, his voice was always cold, which made Mu Qiong very hurt.

But she always remembers the appearance of Jian Shiming wearing official robes when she died in her previous life. He was the future chief minister.

Even some tempers are normal and she has to endure them.

With this thought in mind, Mu Qiong squeezed the water bag in her hand and was about to leave, but the next second she turned pale with fear.

"ah!"

It was a snake. A flower snake was right next to her leg. Muqiong was most afraid of snakes. They were disgusting and scary when they squirmed. She was so frightened that her heart beat faster.

Because she was on Jian Shiming's side and the guards were a little far away, Mu Qiong was so frightened that her face turned pale and she kept retreating.

Just at this moment, a figure quickly appeared in front of her, and she saw the man holding the snake's seven inches, with a smile on his dark face.

"Ms. sir, we can drink broth tonight!"

Tao Xi blinked her bright big eyes, as if she had gotten something good. Looking at the flower snake twisting in her hand, Mu Qiong almost vomited.

She stammered: "You...you actually want to eat snakes?"

"This is meat."

Tao Xi corrected Mu Qiong's words very seriously, and Jian Erni immediately agreed.

"My sister-in-law reads a lot of books. If she says she can eat it, then she can definitely eat it."

"Tip, ten points."

“It’s edible!”

Jian Shiyi also waved his little hands excitedly, and the person making the fuss turned into Mu Qiong.

She was so frightened that her heart was pounding. Tao Xi found it interesting, so she asked Jian Erni to get a bucket of water, and then took out a big knife from her backpack.

In front of Mu Qiong, he began to handle the snake. He first killed the live snake, peeled the skin, and cut it into small pieces. He watched the flower snake turn over and over in Tao Xi's hands.

Mu Qiong's face turned pale with fright. Mu Zhi trotted over and quickly supported Mu Qiong, scolding Tao Xi coldly:

"You scared our girl!"

"Ah, are you afraid of snakes?"

Tao Xi seemed to have just discovered it and said apologetically: "Then don't look at it.

Our family hasn’t eaten meat for a long time, so it’s not easy to get some meat.”

The movements of her hands did not stop. In order to show off in front of Mu Qiong, Tao Xi's consciousness entered the space and exchanged it for a material package.

The five-point ingredient package was fragrant, and Jian Erni started to get angry with a particularly wink.

Tao Xi first poured some oil into the clay pot, waited for it to heat up, and then threw the material package in. Although it was something he had never seen before, but...

Everyone in the Jian family selectively ignored the strange things Tao Xi brought out, and silently remained silent.

When the aroma of the ingredients package came out, Tao Xi put the snake segments in again, stir-fried for a while with a wooden spoon, and then poured in the water from the bamboo tube.

This is water from space, and the stewed soup must be delicious. After covering the pot, Tao Xi raised his eyes and found that everyone was staring directly at the pot.

Simple to make, but using the purest ingredients, the meaty aroma slowly develops.

Everyone in Taomu Village couldn't help but look up, but because of Tao Xi and Jian Shiming's previous contributions to Taomu Village, no one would be jealous of them.

Just his little eyes would glance at them from time to time, and then he would pout and smell the meat.

There were powerful men, and they began to look around. After all, this place was richer than their hometown.

Of course, this was except for Old Jian's family, who came over like dogs when they smelled the meat.

Seeing this scene, Mu Qiong's stomach turned, and she was helped back to sit down by Mu Zhi, but her eyes never left them.

After simmering for a while, Tao Xi opened the clay pot, and the aroma of meat suddenly wafted into everyone's noses.

Jian Shiyi's eyes widened in surprise, "It smells so good. It turns out that snakes are really edible. Sister-in-law, you are so awesome."

"Ten points."

Jian Erni has an honor, Le Dianding agreed, "Of course my sister-in-law is awesome, there is nothing she doesn't know."

"Ten points."

"Brother Ming, your father has been hungry for a long time. This meat must be given to the elderly, right?"

Jian Laosan squatted not far from them with helpless eyes. He had been beaten several times by Tao Xi before, and he still felt pain in his body.

Although he didn't dare to confront Tao Xi, it didn't mean that he was willing to smell the meat.

Jian Laosi also said with a sullen face: "Third brother is right. Brother Ming, you are a member of our Jian family. You must not forget the rules."

He glanced at Muqiong from time to time, hoping that Muqiong would like him, but Muqiong's eyes were dirty when he took one look at these refugees, and did not even remember that he was the person who blocked the carriage before.

Instead, he held the handkerchief and gently covered his lips, with a look of disgust on his face.

Tao Xi first scooped out a bowl of snake soup with a wooden spoon, and handed it to Jian Shiming under the expectant eyes of everyone.

"Ms. sir, you are weak. This snake soup can replenish your body. Drink it quickly."

"Thank you, madam."

Jian Shiming took it without changing his expression, completely ignoring the old Jian family members, and gently blew the hot air with a wooden spoon.

Seeing that Tao Xi was about to share the snake soup with several children, Old Jian, who had always pretended to be reserved, finally couldn't sit still.

He got up and walked to Jian Shiming's family's bullock cart and coughed lightly.

"Ahem..."

Tao Xi's face didn't change color, and he handed the prepared snake soup to Jian Erni, Jian Shiyi and Jian Shiwu, and warned them warmly.

"Drink slowly, be careful not to burn it."
