Chapter 42 Picking Tea Fruits
Jixiang walked around the mountain and couldn't find Li Yu, so he caught a few pheasants and a few hares and carried them home. When I got home, I reported to Zhou Jia: "Master, I searched all over and couldn't find Miss Li. I caught a few pheasants and hares. Where do you tell me to find a mountain as big as you?"
Zhou Jia took out Qimin Yaoshu and placed it in front of Jixiang, "I already know what the camellia tree looks like, do you remember the water pool we saw last year when we collected herbs? The camellia tree is just a little past the water pool. "
Jixiang glanced at the painting on the book and felt that he did not understand what the painting was, "Remember! Then shall I go now?"
Zhou Jia smiled and shook his head, "No need, when you go up the mountain Miss Li is back, I'll go with you tomorrow morning."
Jixiang looked at Zhou Jia puzzled, "Master, are you really going to help Miss Li pick camellia fruit?"
Zhou Jia nodded, imitating Li Yu's way of rolling his eyes, and rolled his eyes, "What's the matter? Can't I go?"
Jixiang looked at Zhou Jia and widened his eyes, "Yes, yes." Jixiang bent back and stepped out, muttering to himself, "Alas! Young master seems really wrong."
Li Yu came home with the camellia fruit on his back, and Mrs. Qian had already put the oil sick child in the house. Seeing that Li Yu had arrived home, he finally felt relieved. Mrs. Qian pointed to the limes under the eaves and said, "Xiaoyu, you Seeing that the lime has been bought back, you will come back early when you go up the mountain in the future, and there will be many wild things when the weather is cold."
"Knowing Aunt Qian, I hunted a wild boar and brought it back to Uncle He's house to be cleaned. I'll go get the meat back."
Li Yu took the back basket and went to the woods behind. He took out the wild boar from the space and carried it towards Butcher He's house. Only then did he remember that there were two wild deer in the space. staff outside home.
Li Yu arrived at Butcher He's house, and Xiaoyu came to open the door to see the wild boar that Li Yu was carrying and laughed, "Sister Xiaoyu, why are the wild boars you beat getting bigger every time?"
Li Yu glanced at the wild boar placed on the chopping board, "Well! Not to mention, it's really getting bigger every time."
Butcher He came out of the house with a pig-killing knife and a young man who looked like an iron tower, looked at the wild boar on the chopping board, and laughed: "Xiaoyu, this one you beat this time is probably three hundred or so. Jin!"
"Uncle He, it's so late, I have to trouble you again."
"Why bother? You are taking care of my business!" Butcher He handed the knife to Tie Zhu, "Tie Zhu, come here today."
Xiaoyu glanced at Tiezhu, then turned to look at Li Yu with a smile, "Sister Xiaoyu, this is my brother He Tiezhu, don't you think it looks like a Tiezhu!"
"Xiaoyu, do you want to beg for a beating?" He Tiezhu blushed.
"Mother, you see that brother is going to hit me." Xiaoyu said coquettishly to the Huang family who came out with the wooden basin. Huang Shi nodded Xiaoyu's forehead, "Crazy girl, you are not afraid of your sister Xiaoyu laughing at you."
Xiaoyu pulled Huang's sleeve, "Sister Xiaoyu won't laugh at me!"
He Tiezhu's hands and feet were neat, and he knocked out the wild boar in a short time. Li Yu kept half of the meat and suet, and the rest of the meat was handed over to Butcher He to help sell it, and he went home with the meat on his back.
Li Yu left. Butcher He avoided his son and said to the Huang family: "Damn, do you think Xiaoyu is good?"
Mrs Huang frowned, "She's quite competent and neat, but I don't like her without a parent or mother. Let's talk about it later!"
Xiaoyu pouted and glanced at Huang Shi, "Mother, you don't like it, I don't think my brother is worthy of Sister Xiaoyu."
Huang slapped her with a dark face, "Stinky girl, who would marry a daughter-in-law who is willing to find that fatherless mother, I don't know if he is well educated or not, I don't like people who show their faces all day long."
Butcher He impatiently patted the chopping board, "Okay, don't mention this in the future, let Xiaoyu know how everyone will get along in the future."
"Didn't you mention it first?" Huang pouted and went back to the house with the wooden tub.
Li Yu came home with the meat on his back, took a leg of meat and a piece of suet, and handed it to Li Qing who was reading, "Aqing, send the wild boar to my aunt."
Li Qing looked at the pig leg that Li Yu was carrying, "Sister, isn't the wild boar very good? This wild boar is really fat."
Li Yu took a piece of meat weighing three or four kilograms and handed it to Xiao An, "Well! It's quite fat. You wait for Xiao An to go with me. I will ask him to send a piece to Uncle Chen."
Li Qing smiled and said to Li Yu: "Sister, give my husband one too!"
"Take it!" Li Yu handed him another piece, and the two walked away with the meat.
Li Yu heated the pepper, salt and bay leaves, put it on the meat and marinated it in a pot, then took two pig trotters and burned the hair with fire and chopped it into small pieces in a stew pot.
Qian took the finished cotton skirt and coat into the kitchen, "Xiaoyu, look how beautiful this purple one looks! Xiaoyu, you are good-looking, and you dress so old-fashioned all day long that you will make people look good. They're all worn out."
Li Yu looked at the dress in Qian's hand and smiled, "This color is not resistant to dirt, you can put it on and wear it when I am idle, Aunt Qian, you see that the rapeseeds can be transplanted in a few days. ?"
Qian said with a smile: "In four or five days, it should be fine."
Li Yu calculated in his heart and felt that the camellia oleifera fruits should have been picked by then.
Li Yu went to the vegetable field to pull two radishes, cut two green onions and coriander and took them home. Mrs. Qian hurriedly took them to the well and cleaned them up. I gave Qian Shi a piece of meat, and the mother and son took it home.
Early the next morning, Li Yu walked up the mountain with a sack and a backpack, and just after turning a corner past He Butcher's house, he heard someone shouting from behind, "Miss Li, Miss Li, etc."
Li Yu looked back, it turned out to be the Jixiang boy and Mr. Zhou, Li Yu felt a little strange, what were these two doing up the mountain early in the morning? You almost died on the mountain last time, didn't you know you were afraid?
Jixiang and Zhou Jia caught up with Li Yu, Li Yu saw Zhou Jia's blushing face after he left quickly, and thought to himself: He looks so evil, what do you do as a man to look so good-looking?
Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu with a smile and cupped his hands, "Miss Li, I heard that you are going to pick camellia fruit. I have only seen the tea fruit tree in the book. I want to go with you to see the real tea fruit tree, okay?"
Li Yu was almost blinded by Zhou Jia's laughter, and turned his head, "If you want to go, just follow!" Li Yu sighed in his heart, only because he was so good-looking, he couldn't even bear to reject him.
Li Yu pursed his lips and turned to look at Zhou Jia, "Mr. Zhou, can you stand the long way up the mountain?"
Zhou Jia hurriedly took two steps to catch up with Li Yu, with a smile on his face, "Miss Li, see what you said, why can't you bear this road?"
Jixiang looked at Zhou Jia's brilliant smile, and lamented in his heart: It's over, it's over, it seems that the young master really wants to save his life.
Jixiang followed silently behind the two of them, and Li Yu wondered why these words were silent today.
A few people arrived at the tea forest, and Li Yu pointed to the camellia trees, "Mr. Zhou, these are all camellia trees, you don't see much to see!"
Of course, Zhou Jia knew in his heart that the tea tree was not much to watch, but it was beautiful!
"Miss Li, we're all here, so I'll help you pick the tea fruit and come back!"
Li Yu looked suspiciously at Zhou Jia's delicate skin and tender flesh, "Can you do it?"
Zhou Jia spread out his hands and smiled slightly, "It should still be possible to pick fruit."
"Okay then!" Li Yu pointed to your ripe tea fruit first, "You two pick the red and yellow ones that are ripe."
Zhou Jia nodded and picked it up with auspiciousness. Seeing that the two of them were doing things neatly, Li Yu ignored them. He walked to a place a little away from the two and began to pick them up, filling the sack before the two were not paying attention. Quickly put it into the space, and began to pick fruit again.
