Cannon fodder also wants to live (through the book)

57 Chapter 57

Hu Niuniang was not unhappy when she heard this, and she still smiled, "Of course I understand. It would be great to be able to exchange for food, and there are not many vegetables sold in the village during this time, even if there are more in the future, it will be more expensive." If it’s not enough to sell, there are so many people in the town, so it might be cheaper.”

Seeing that she understood from the bottom of her heart, Zhang Caixuan didn't say much.

Hu Niuniang held the torn sack tightly, and said with great interest: "After I go back, I will re-sow the seeds and serve the vegetable field like my ancestors. Our family's rations will depend on it."

Zhang Caixuan laughed, "It can't be too hot, it doesn't matter if it's cold."

If the temperature is colder, it will not last longer at most, but if it is hot, it will be roasted to death.

Hu Niuniang nodded again and again. Although she didn't see the vegetables Zhang Caixuan planted, she knew they were growing well just by seeing them go to town every day. She listened carefully to Zhang Caixuan's words.

It would be great if she could go there every day, without asking too much, fifteen catties of food a day, their family can't finish it.

Hu Niu Niang was still very excited, and she said after a long while: "After we go back, we can't let Hu Niu fuss about anymore, Caixuan, you don't know, the girl started to pick the seedlings as soon as they sprouted, this is not a vegetable, it is clearly Grain to eat. If she is not allowed to pick it during this period, she may get another fifteen catties of grain."

Zhang Caixuan smiled.

When they arrived at the entrance of the village, the carriage stopped, and Niu Hu was about to get off the carriage with a sack and a basket. She turned around and said, "Caixuan, I want to tell the village chief."

Zhang Caixuan doesn't care, she is not greedy, as long as she sends Yuanyuan to her every day, she and Qin Sulin can live a happy life.So many people in the town can't buy vegetables, if the villagers can really grow them, it's their ability.And it's good for her if the people around her are richer.

It is now late March, and the sky is no longer snowing, but it is still very cold. You can see that the top of the West Mountain is still white, full of unmelted snow.The weather this year is really unusual, and the food must not be grown.

The two returned home, and after eating, they went to the pigsty in the backyard. The vegetables there were palm-high again, and they were reserved for delivery to Yuan Yuan in the next few days.

Qin Surin went to dig the soil behind with a hoe, planning to lay another thick layer.Although it's cold outside, the snow is slowly melting, and we can go out for a stroll.

Zhang Caixuan followed him, not to mention working, it was good to be with him.

Said to accompany, Qin Sulin really refused to let her help, Zhang Caixuan covered her hands together in her sleeves, looking around idly.

There was a vast expanse of whiteness on the top of the west mountain, which was much less than the previous days. I could see the snow was melting, and when I looked back, there was no snow on the roof. In a blink of an eye, I saw the bamboo forest on the edge of the wasteland.

The bamboo forest is the border of the wasteland that Qin Sulin bought. Even if the bamboo is cut down, the underground root system is dense, and if it is not dug clean, it will grow back next year, and the clusters grow very fast.I kept it because it was not easy to clean up.Zhang Caixuan walked over, intending to see if he could use it for something.

The bamboo has not been frozen to death, each one is only the thickness of a finger, which is useless at all, even for weaving baskets, you have to have the thickness of a wrist.She looked away, and suddenly saw... bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest?

She hurried over, reached out and pulled out one, and saw the yellowish-white color at the break, it was really a bamboo shoot.

She was overjoyed, and took a bite, and the fragrance of the bamboo entered the mouth without any bitterness, so she squatted down and searched carefully, and found that there were a dozen of them in front of her alone, and she immediately became excited.

She pulled out a big handful and carried them back. Qin Sulin saw the things in her hands from a distance, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the use of this?"

Zhang Caixuan often tinkers with some things that ordinary people don't eat or are useless, and they are useful in her hands. After a long time, Qin Sulin will not ask more questions, and will help.

For example, he really didn't understand the rot soil dug from the forest when he dug it.But now it seems...Qin Sulin inexplicably thinks that their food grows well because of that.

"You can eat it." Zhang Caixuan was confident.Although she didn't understand why bamboo shoots would grow when weeds refused to grow in such a cold weather, it didn't prevent her from getting them back to eat.

Qin Sulin became interested. The fungus in front of him was such an ugly thing, and he returned fifty catties of white rice for only one catty.This...although it's a bit ugly, and it's hairy and pricks his hands, and of course his mouth...he was a little entangled, but he still chose to trust her.

Qin Surin asked with a smile: "Want to help? I'll be fine soon."

"Of course." Zhang Caixuan did not hesitate.

Zhang Caixuan carried her directly into the house, took another knife, and sliced ​​open one side. Her fingers started to curl from the top of the bamboo shoots, and quickly went down, peeling off the white and tender shoots.In the past, when she learned to cook, the first thing she did was these odd jobs. For her, peeling a bamboo shoot was still very simple.

Qin Surin followed suit, but it didn't go well at the beginning. Either he peeled too much and most of the bamboo shoots were cut off, or he cut too little and couldn't roll it to the end, and then it broke. Before he was proficient, a handful of bamboo shoots had already been peeled .

After peeling it, I found that there was only one handful. There were too many skins.But Zhang Caixuan doesn't dislike the lack of bamboo shoots. Bamboo shoots grow fast, and a lot of bamboo shoots can be pulled back just from the back.

Excitedly went to the kitchen, Qin Surin followed to help light the fire.

After running through the hot water first, Zhang Caixuan even sliced ​​the meat into it and fried it together. After it was fried, she handed it to him with chopsticks, "Su Lin, try it."

Looking at the anticipation on her face and the light in her eyes, Qin Surin felt that it was worth it before eating with the chopsticks.

He put a piece into his mouth and said with a smile, "It's delicious."

It's really good, and the crisp taste is very novel.

Zhang Caixuan's eyes are brighter, her eyebrows are raised, "If you put it after cooking, it will taste better."

Qin Surin nodded, "Is there any more? Let's pick them up."

"Yes." Zhang Caixuan also ate some, although it was a bit regretful that there was no chili pepper, but the taste was still good.

If there are too many, you can also marinate it and eat it.

,all in

The two went to the bamboo forest behind, and pulled out two baskets in a long time, but both of them knew that it just looked like a lot, and there were not many after peeling.

After peeling and boiling, put it into a jar with water, just one jar.It was already noon, Zhang Caixuan stood in the yard, turned around and looked at Xishan, and said, "Do you think there is one on the mountain?"

Qin Sulin was silent for a while. In this weather, he didn't really want to go up the mountain. In fact, he didn't want her to go up the mountain.The road to the town is not easy, let alone to the mountains. ,all in

But meeting her bright eyes, she nodded and said, "There is a bamboo forest on the other side of the Wo Niu slope we went to last year, but the road is not easy to walk."

Zhang Caixuan smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, I have you. We will go when we come back tomorrow."

The corners of Qin Surin's lips curled up when he heard the phrase "I have you", it sounds like he is extremely reliable and she trusts him.

Can't help but answer, "Okay."

Zhang Caixuan didn't go to town the next day. As soon as Qin Sulin left, she got up and went into the kitchen to cook. After the meal was ready, she went to the backyard to feed the chickens, and gave Xiaobai and Xiaohei bones.

Since the weather got cold, the two of them were not stupid. They slept on the corner of the kang bed, and they didn't spend as much time wandering around as before.

After Qin Surin came back, the two had breakfast and went to the west mountain.

In fact, they thought too much. There are bamboo shoots in the bamboo grove in the wasteland in the backyard, but the bamboo grove on the west mountain doesn't even have a shoot tip, probably because the mountain is too cold.Many places are still frozen, and there are still pieces of ice on the bamboo leaves, which melt when touched.

The mountain was bleak, and many trees in the woods were bare. Zhang Caixuan was a little disappointed to find no bamboo shoots, but there will definitely be ones in the future.When walking back, I saw that there was very little smoke from the cooking in Qingshan Village at the foot of the mountain, and there was smoke everywhere. Now is not the time for cooking, and those people should be lighting the fire for the greenhouse.

,all in

In April, green vegetables in the town are not uncommon, but the price is very high, and most people can't afford it.Most of them were bought by stewards from the capital, which aroused the eyes of people who set up stalls in the town.

It's really rare to put a handful of green vegetables on display for a day, and to be received by the stewards of the capital with a smile.

I asked secretly, and found that the vegetable sellers were all from Qingshan, so recently, many people in the village came to visit their relatives.

Before the road was closed, relatives did not come and go, but later the road was difficult to travel, and some daughters-in-law returned to their natal homes. Even when it came to warming houses, other villages did not pay much attention.

Farmers are not stupid. Even if they know that green vegetables are hard to come by, they think they can grow them, but those who start first may not succeed.

Now many people have succeeded, and they have successfully obtained food from the stewards from the capital.

This year is different from previous years. In previous years, farming was the most important thing. As long as there is no major disaster, it is no problem to fill our stomachs.

But it’s already April this year, and the fields haven’t been tidied up yet, so it’s too late to plant seeds immediately, and it’s basically a fact that the harvest will be delayed next year, and you’ll be hungry next year. Seeing that vegetables can be exchanged for food, that’s a life-saving thing. , I have the cheek to ask for a way to come back.

Bullock carts come to Qingshan Village every day, and some people even come on foot.

Zhang Caixuan's relatives have no contact with her, Qin Sulin...

Qin Sulin's only relative is Qin Shuxian from the Zhou Mansion, and she would not come to the house just for these vegetables.

By the way, Qin Shuxian seems to be fifteen this year, so I don't know what's going on in the house now.Ever since Zhang Caixuan left the Zhou Mansion, she usually doesn't think about the mansion. What she remembers the most is that she was almost executed in Bingyuan, and other memories have faded away.

When the two of them came back from the town that day, they saw people going to Qingshan Village on the road from time to time. They were used to passing the village in a carriage, and the people they saw would sometimes say hello to them.

The carriage didn't stop all the way, crossed the village to the west of the village, just turned on the road to the west of the village, when they heard fierce dog barking from the direction of their house, and saw someone from the Gu family come out and run towards their house.

Zhang Caixuan's expression became serious. Xiaobai and Xiaohei are usually very quiet and would not bark when they meet acquaintances. She whispered, "Something went wrong."

Qin Surin didn't speak, and pulled the rein of the horse with one hand, the horse started to run, and soon caught up with Gu Qi in front of him.

Seeing them, Gu Qi hurriedly said: "There was a sound just now, go back and have a look..."

His voice was left behind.

Zhang Caixuan was still outside, when she heard someone screaming, she settled down.Quickly opened the yard door, eyes were bright red, and there was a tangy smell of blood.

In the yard, there was a man gesturing with firewood. In front of him, Xiaobai Xiaohei was thrashing about. There was a person lying beside him, his legs were red with blood. When he saw her enter the door, the person on the ground struggled towards her, with his hands towards her. Stretch out, "Help... help."

Zhang Caixuan: "..."
