I didn't intend to be a Fairy
Chapter 704: Nosy Things in the Mountains
Yesterday, there were a few light raindrops in the mountains. After killing the chickens, Wu Xia went for a walk in the bamboo forest. When she came out, she picked up a few chicken firs. People in Yizhou generally called them mountain mushrooms, so they used this bamboo forest. The old hen stewed a pot of mountain mushroom chicken soup. The chicken oil spread a golden layer on the soup surface, and was full of rich chicken coriander aroma.
While the soup was stewing, I untied the bacon from the beam, scrubbed it clean, and used it to fry a pot of garlic sprouts. The remaining two mountain mushrooms were fried casually, and were put into a large rough bucket.
The old wooden table, not too particular but rich dishes, full of fireworks.
Old friends sat across from each other, eating meat and talking while eating.
Because she had to take care of Xiao Jiang Han, the Sanhua Empress beside her did not turn into her original shape, but remained human. She sat on a bench with Xiao Jiang Han, feeding her, listening to the two of them talking, and paying attention to the people on the bench. Xiao Jianghan, who is unable to stand, must fall to his death.
"It's nice here. It's far away from the rivers and lakes. The nearest village is more than ten miles away. Usually no one comes to disturb me, and no one comes to collect taxes. I can grow and feed whatever I want to eat. I want to eat mountain delicacies. Just go to the mountain to search, go to the mountain to fight, and whatever you receive is yours. Oh, yes, you should have come up from the official road over there. If you go up the mountain behind, it will be my trap. This afternoon Go and have a look, what you’ll eat for dinner depends on what you can find in the afternoon.”
"Sounds good."
"It's good, but it's a bit inconvenient to buy things. If you want to go to the city, you have to walk sixty miles. There is a market town on the other side of the mountain, and several villages are opened in rotation. Each village is open only one day a month. Counting one The month only lasts for a few days. It's more than ten miles away, and it's twenty or thirty miles away. It only opens in the morning. I always can't remember the day. I finally remember it, but I can't get up." Wu Nuxia used The back of the hand holding the chopsticks scratched his head, "When I was in Changjing, I could wake up no matter how early it was. I would wake up at any time. If I woke up at the fifth watch, I would definitely hear the fifth watch if I woke up less than a moment ago. I’ve started to wake up every time I talk about it, but now I’m getting lazier and lazier.”
"This is a good thing."
"What good thing?"
"It shows that the heroine's life is getting better and better, and she is indeed becoming more and more comfortable."
The Taoist was holding a thick bowl with a small bowl of chicken soup in it. Wu Nuxia had scooped it for him. At first, he scooped chicken, chicken, and cilantro together with the soup. Now all the dry food was eaten, leaving only the soup.
"call……"
The Taoist blew away the golden layer of oil and took a sip of the soup. The delicious and rich aroma that hit his taste buds made him sigh. Then he raised his head and continued: "This kind of life is no more busy and tiring than when I was in Changjing." Are your days much better?"
"That's true."
The heroine grinned, but then said with a smile: "But being too lazy is not a problem. Sometimes I eat two meals a day, or even one meal a day. Sometimes I am sleepy during the day, and when I wake up, it is dark, and it is dark at night. Don’t know what to do at all.”
"Fairy Days."
"Sometimes I still have to go out and buy things. One time I ran out of salt in the house and forgot about the day to go to the market. I finally asked someone to ask. I couldn't get up several times and said I would go to the city to buy something. But I thought it was too far and too difficult to leave. I haven’t eaten salt for several days. Fortunately, I have a few pieces of bacon, otherwise I might not be able to cut down the monsters with a knife..."
As he spoke, he raised his head and laughed, as if he found it extremely interesting.
"Salt has become more and more expensive in the past two years."
"Yeah, so is Yizhou."
"Everywhere."
Salt is considered the most sophisticated poll tax in this era. Calculated this way, this heroine does not have to pay any tax at all.
"When autumn comes this year, after I have finished harvesting the crops, I will go to your Yin Yang Mountain to visit you. I will pass by Yidu then, and I will pick up a good horse in Yidu." Wu Nuxia said, "My After all, the horse was too old, and I couldn't bear to ride it away. I bought a new one, and it can live here for the rest of its life. It will be much more convenient for me to ride the new horse and go to the city to buy it."
"It's rare to see a heroine who loves horses so much."
"Isn't there one beside you?"
Wu Nuxia glanced at Sanhua Empress next to her.
The Taoist also looked at Sanhua Empress.
Empress Sanhua held the bowl in one hand and vegetables in the other. She put a large piece of bacon into the bowl, mixed the meat with the rice, and ate it with her head down.
"How is it? My skills have improved over the years, right?" Wu Nuxia said proudly.
"good."
The Taoist said truthfully.
Yizhou people have always loved to eat, and Wu Nuxia loves to eat even more. However, compared to people from other states who love to eat, Yizhou people are more hands-on. Wu Nuxia has made great progress in her cooking skills after living alone for so many years. Now, even compared with housewives of the same age as her, she is considered to be above average.
"What do you think, Sanhua Empress?"
"..."
Empress Sanhua raised her eyes, glanced at her, her eyes flickered, hesitated for a while, and then said: "Empress Sanhua will cook for you tomorrow and tonight!"
"Can you cook too?"
"..."
Sanhua Empress didn't say anything, just lowered her head to plan her meal.
Pick up something at random, put it into Xiao Jianghan's mouth next to you, and let her chew it. Pay attention to the cat-style feeding method.
"That's just right. You can follow me to the mountains in the afternoon and see what you can find. My field is next to it. The moon is very full recently. There are many eels coming out at night, as well as frogs and snails. I will get these things for you tomorrow. Eat." Wu Nuxia said, "Are you in a hurry to go back?"
Empress Sanhua's expression became serious and she looked at the Taoist.
"Not urgent."
The Taoist replied thus.
"Then stay here for a few more days and let you taste the goodness of the mountains." Wu Nuxia said.
"good!"
The Taoist did not refuse.
After finishing the meal, I was very satisfied.
The topic flew to nowhere.
The sun was quite strong at noon, making people drowsy, and the chirping of cicadas also made people want to fall asleep. Wu Nuxia had no other room, so she had to make some space in the small room for them to rest.
Take a nap first, and when you wake up, the world seems to have fallen asleep. Then follow Wu Nuxia to the back mountain, checking the traps one by one, and wake up this world again.
Sanhua Empress widened her eyes and was surprised that she didn't have to hunt, chase or fight the prey, wait for it to come out, just put some branches on the mountain and dig some small holes, like those who put cages in the river and wait for it. Just like those who go in with the fish and then retrieve it, all they have to do is pick up the prey.
It’s effortless and rewarding.
As expected of a human being! How smart!
The Taoist man walked and watched, admiring the scenery in the mountains, the official road opposite, and the place where his old friend had lived alone for more than ten years. He talked to her from time to time, talking about his thoughts and experiences over the years.
Dinner is hare and pheasant.
I saw Empress Sanhua skillfully cleaning the hare and pheasant, taking out various spices and ingredients from the brocade bag, and using a technique not available in this era, roasted the hare until it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, full of spices, and cooked the pheasant Stir-fried with chili peppers, it's so crispy that the bones can be broken.
Wu Nuxia watched from the side. Although she was amazed, she also smiled more. Occasionally, like the Taoist, she asked her how she learned it and acted incredible to satisfy her vanity.
That night was a full moon night.
The bright moon was in the sky, and the mountains were outlined by the moonlight. The whole world was filled with the noise of frogs and insects, and it was very noisy.
Wu Nuxia is already very familiar with the surrounding environment. With the moonlight, she will not step on it even if the fields are uneven. Sanhua Empress regards the moonlight as sunlight, and the night is like day in her eyes. She also holds her own small bamboo stick. , followed Wu Nuxia walking in the fields.
The two of them caught loaches, eels, and frogs and locusts. The sound of splashing water often came from the fields, the two men whispered in low voices, and exclaimed that they had caught something.
Song You did not go with them.
He lit an oil lamp in Wu Nuxia's main room, spread out the paper, dipped his pen in ink, and recorded his last journey of the past twenty years.
It was an extremely happy and unexpected thing to meet Wu Nuxia on the way back. Seeing my old friend's current appearance and life, I also had many feelings in my heart, which are all worth recording.
The lights in the house were dim and shaking.
The moonlight outside seemed to be brighter, and the faint voices of the two people could be heard constantly.
"Taoist priest~"
Xiao Jianghan crawled beside him.
"Call Master."
"Taoist priest~"
The Taoist shook his head and continued writing by the candlelight. He did not stop writing until the little girl fell asleep unconsciously.
…
The Taoist stayed here for several days.
No day is boring.
Sometimes Wu Nuxia took Sanhua Empress to fish and catch shrimps in the nearest river. When she came back, Sanhua Empress transformed into Teacher Sanhua and taught her her own unique cooking skills.
When Sanhua Empress holds the spoon, she will light the fire.
Sometimes Wu Nuxia took Sanhua Empress to the fields to see her crops. Sanhua Empress took out sour eggplant seeds and planted them in her vegetable field, telling her that she could not eat them all throughout the summer, and also taught her Her various ways of eating sour eggplant were secretly learned from Taoists through secret observation.
Wu Nuxia taught her how to lay traps in the mountains, so she took Wu Nuxia to fly on a crane.
A few days later, people from a distant village came and respectfully asked Wu Xia to go to the village to eliminate demons, and the Taoist took the opportunity to say goodbye to her.
"It's time for us to go back. We still have three hundred miles to go to Yidu. It's also quite a distance from Yidu to Lingquan. It will probably take a while. We'll wait for the heroine to visit in the Taoist temple."
"Definitely there!"
Wu Nuxia said and looked at Sanhua Empress.
Sanhua Empress was standing in front of the house, holding a mouse and sucking at the yellow dog in front of her. She felt her gaze and seemed to know that she was leaving. She had no expression on her face and just held the mouse piece open. Throw it to the yellow dog that has been greedy for a long time. He turned to look at Wu Nuxia with a clear tone and a serious expression:
"We'll meet many more times, right?"
"Of course." Wu Nuxia said, "When I buy a new horse, I will ride to find you. It will only take two or three days. I will come to you at least twice a year."
"Empress Sanhua will also come to you on a crane."
"good."
"Then let's go."
"Walk slowly."
"knew!"
The group of people said goodbye to each other in front of the bamboo forest and on the ridge of the field.
