Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11434

Look at the bottom of the basket. Under the layer of quail eggs is a layer of soft leaves, and under the leaves is a second layer of quail eggs. There are several layers in total, hundreds of quail eggs.

If you want to pick it up, it’s not easy.

Luo Baobao smiled mysteriously, "Guess."

"There are so many eggs, they must have been picked up from the woods. Did you destroy the quail's nest? And there's more than one nest?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Aunt Rong nodded. She also guessed so. It was impossible for this thing to grow on the tree and be fished out of the water!

However, facing their guesses, Luo Baobao shook his head and smiled: "Wrong, these quail eggs were fished out of the water!"

"How is that possible? Are you kidding us, girl?" Yang Ruoqing laughed.

Luo Baobao put away his smile and said seriously, "It's true, mother. Behind our camp, over two hills, there is a valley with a stream in it. The stream meanders into a cave and converges into an underground river in the cave. In the water grass and mud on both sides of the underground river in the cave, there are quail eggs dotted around. That's where we picked them up!"

Luo Baobao didn't seem to be lying, and he had no reason to lie. At the moment, Yang Ruoqing and Rong Gu were stunned.

After realizing what was happening, Rong Gu's breathing quickened a bit, "Wuyou, is there anything else in the cave?"

If there was, she would also like to pick it up.

She used to be a servant in a wealthy family in Changhuai Prefecture. As a house-born child, she had been influenced by her family since she was a child. In Rong Gu's opinion, quail eggs are a high-end food ingredient!

Go pick some up and keep them for Tuanbao and Yuanbao to change the flavors!

Yang Ruoqing was also very surprised that there was such a cave in Mianniu Mountain. She had lived in this place for more than 20 years and had never heard of such a cave.

Luo Baobao then answered Rong Gu's question, "What do you mean? The quail eggs in this basket were picked up by us the second time we went back."

"The first time was seven days ago. Two female soldiers from our camp passed by the cave. They were washing their hands by the stream. One of the female soldiers' handkerchief accidentally fell into the water. She cherished the handkerchief very much, so she followed the stream to chase it. She accidentally entered the cave and saw quail eggs all over the ground. They each picked up two large clothes bags and brought them back."

"Oh, that scene, it's so beautiful just thinking about it!" Rong Gu's eyes sparkled and she felt infinite yearning.

Yang Ruoqing also nodded with a smile, "It's likely that a large number of quails flew in there to build nests, and were discovered by those two little female soldiers."

Luo Baobao went on to say, “After they brought back quail eggs that day, we had a big meal in our camp.”

"Yesterday, everyone was craving for the taste of quail eggs, and someone suggested trying their luck again."

"So we asked the two little female soldiers to lead the way, and Aunt Hongxiu also went with them. The three of them picked up two baskets of quail eggs and brought them back."

"I just happened to hear that my great grandfather was sick, so I brought back a basket of food to nourish him!"

That's what happened.

Yang Ruoqing stroked Luo Baobao's hair and said, "Not bad, not bad, you have grown up. When your great grandfather wakes up, he will definitely be happy to see these quail eggs."

Luo Baobao raised his eyebrows, "This is nothing. We found that fairy cave. We will go there every once in a while to pick up some quail eggs. We will never lack quail eggs to eat!"

……

While Blacksmith Luo was still asleep, the three of them got busy.

Aunt Rong will boil the quail eggs first, and then bring them over to peel when they are cooked.

Yang Ruoqing asked Luo Baobao how many days he planned to stay at home this time he went down the mountain, and the reply he got was that he would return to the camp the day after tomorrow.

Yang Ruoqing secretly calculated in her heart that her daughter could stay at home for two nights this time. She was so satisfied!

Luo Baobao's room was ventilated every day, and the bedding was brought out every now and then to dry. Even so, knowing that her daughter could stay at home for two days, Yang Ruoqing was very happy and went straight to her daughter's room, changed her pillowcases and other things, and replaced the flowers from the previous two days with freshly picked winter jasmine flowers and placed them on the desk in her daughter's room.

While Yang Ruoqing was arranging these things, Luo Baobao had nowhere else to go, so he stayed beside her and talked.

After learning about the causes and consequences of Luo the Blacksmith's illness, we talked about the previous Tai Sui incident and the triplets in Yang Huamei's family...

"Mom, the sun is about to set. Those people who are having the banquet should be back by now, right?"

The mother and daughter chatted for a long time. Luo Baobao stretched, stood up and paced around the room, looking at the setting sun outside, feeling a little bored.

Going home to visit her great-grandfather was the primary reason, and another motivation that attracted her to go home was to accompany her two younger brothers.

But half a day had passed since they got home, and the two younger brothers who went out to visit had not returned yet, which made the older sister a little anxious.

"Mom, I'll ride a horse to the official road to pick her up."

"No need to pick it up. I think the time is almost up. All members of the Yang family are going out today. It's a large army!"

"Wuyou, your great-grandfather has woken up..." Aunt Rong's voice came from outside the house.

Luo Baobao turned around, a little excited, and said "Got it" to the outside, then said to Yang Ruoqing: "Mom, I'm going to go talk to my great grandfather first, and you can call me when my brothers come back."

Yang Ruoqing also stood up: "Bao, did you remember what I told you before? Your great grandfather's throat is hoarse, so he shouldn't talk too much..."

Apart from the three doctors, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang are the only ones who know about the vocal tract paralysis.

Because this disease is relatively new and unfamiliar to people around me.

It is better not to say anything and treat the condition silently. Talking too much will only increase the panic of the person involved and those around him.

Luo Baobao was naturally kept in the dark. Facing Yang Ruoqing's instructions, she said sternly, "Don't worry, Mom. I'm not a child. I won't talk to my great grandfather any more!"

"I speak, and he listens."

"Well, don't worry, mother. Go quickly. Your great grandfather will be happier than anything to see you back."

When he had a fever and was talking nonsense, Blacksmith Luo kept repeating his granddaughter's name...

Aunt Rong cooked the quail eggs, soaked them in cold water, and brought them to the main room. Yang Ruoqing pulled a small stool and sat down face to face with her, and they peeled the shells together.

Half a basin of quail eggs had been peeled. Outside, the sun had completely set behind the western hills. Dusk was gradually falling. Even Luo Baobao had finished chatting with Luo the Blacksmith and returned to the main room in the front yard.

"Mother, it's almost time to light the lamps. Aren't my brothers back yet?"

Yang Ruoqing had already washed her hands and stood at the door looking out. "Yeah, I was also wondering what happened today. Even if we decline to come back, at least someone has to come back to report the news..."

There's something wrong!

Luo Baobao picked up the whip and went to the door. "No need to wait, I'll go get it!"

Yang Ruoqing called her: "I'll go with you!"
