Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11499

The things the Luo family offered to their ancestors were more abundant than those offered by any other family in the village.

Even the offerings from the Wang family and the old Yang family, the clans with the largest number of people with the same surname in the village, were far less abundant than those from the Luo family.

They only had ordinary chicken, duck, fish, meat, fruit, pastries and liquor, which was already very rich.

But the Luo family not only included the above-mentioned things, they also specially killed a sheep and roasted a suckling pig. This year, they also added seafood. The seafood was bought by Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang when they went to the county town two days ago. They happened to meet a merchant ship carrying seafood from the east at the dock. They bought fresh seafood from the merchant ship and brought it back. Half of it was kept at home, and some was just right for use as sacrifices.

"This year our family's offerings are richer than in previous years. Our ancestors over there may also want to change their appetite." Blacksmith Luo looked at the red ribbons tied to the pig's head and sheep's horns and spoke with emotion.

Although he spoke from the heart, the pride and pride that could not be hidden in his words were also obvious.

Yang Ruoqing glanced at the blacksmith Luo and thought he was adorable. Her uncle was being so Versailles. If other people heard it, they would definitely think that the old man was showing off.

However, this old man has the capital to show off, because this year's Qingming Festival, the Luo family's offerings have increased several times. The reason for this is mainly because this year the Luo family has a happy event and has added a new member, so they want to report the good news to their ancestors.

"Mom, are we going to take those delicious things back later?" Tuantuan tugged at Yang Ruoqing's sleeve, raised his head and asked in a low voice.

Yang Ruoqing shook her head, "No, this is for worshipping our ancestors."

"Then will our ancestors come out to eat?" Tuantuan asked again.

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "Yes."

"Without chopsticks and spoon, how can our ancestors bite the food?" Yuanyuan noticed this and expressed her own doubts.

Uh... Yang Ruoqing was a little embarrassed about this question...

"The way our ancestors ate was different from the way we ate." Yang Ruoqing squatted down and explained to them in a low voice, "Just put it here, they don't need spoons and chopsticks."

Yang Ruoqing heard it from the older generation, but the older generation also heard it from the older generation.

It is said that our ancestors enjoyed these offerings by just smelling the odor, just a light sniff.

Therefore, many people in the village say that even at grand banquets or wedding banquets, they feel that the food and wine are very delicious.

At funeral banquets, even if the dishes looked good, they tasted like chewing wax, as if the vitality of the dishes had been sucked away by an unknown force in advance...

……

After the worship, Luo the blacksmith and Xingwang were left there to watch the fire to prevent it from spreading to nearby grass and trees and thus setting the mountain on fire.

Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing took the two little ones, accompanied by two guards, and went into the nearby woods to pick rhododendrons.

Around the Qingming Festival, the mountains are filled with rhododendrons, with bright red flowers blooming everywhere.

Young girls and wives in the village have been going up the mountain to pick rhododendrons one after another. The deeper they go into the mountains, the more luxuriantly the flowers bloom.

If you are lucky, you can even pick yellow rhododendrons and bring them back to the village, which is really rare.

Look, Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing are busy picking azaleas in the woods with the children. The azalea trees are taller than people, and the flower buds on them are in clusters of bright red, which is very pleasing to the eyes.

"I'm too lazy to pick them one by one. I wish I could get a hoe, dig up the whole plant, take it home and plant it in the yard!" Yang Ruoqing looked at the flowers and rubbed her hands.

Luo Fengtang smiled, "It's okay if you don't have a hoe, just look at me."

He turned his wrist and the sword was in his hand.

"What? You're going to use a sword to pry it? That's too..." Before Yang Ruoqing could finish her words, she saw the sheath of the sword in Luo Fengtang's hand move across, drawing a circle around the roots of the azalea tree in full bloom.

There was a circle of soil under the flower tree, and there were cracks visible to the naked eye.

"Crack, click..."

With a slight cracking sound, the flower tree that had just stood steadily in front of everyone slowly tilted to one side.

Luo Fengtang raised the long sword in his hand that had never been unsheathed and gently blocked the flower tree to prevent a single petal from falling to the ground.

"Wow, this is also possible? Tang, your swordsmanship is getting more and more powerful!"

Use brute force to chop and kill, and use skill to dig up flowers and trees without damaging the roots. The latter's ability perfectly covers the former.

"Dad is so awesome!"

"Dad is awesome!"

Tuantuan and Yuanyuan also jumped up and waved their little fists to cheer for Luo Fengtang.

Luo Fengtang smiled at the two of them and looked back at Yang Ruoqing: "I cut it a little deep, and the roots underneath are covered with soil. I will take it back to the backyard and plant it directly. It shouldn't cause any damage to the tree."

Yang Ruoqing nodded repeatedly. She had already seen the felled flower tree, with fresh soil underneath its roots.

It would take at most an hour to get back to the Luo family’s backyard from this mountain, or about two hours.

Not to mention that the soil barrier is good, even in later generations, those flower seedlings purchased online, with their roots covered with just a handful of soil and wrapped in plastic wrap and newspaper, can withstand seven or eight days of transportation bumps!

Even if the seedlings are a little wilted when they reach the buyer, after being transplanted into the pot, watered and waited for a few days, the seedlings will basically come back to life.

If seven or eight days of bumpy ride can be like this, what about this hour? It's absolutely no problem!

In the following picking, everyone was very lucky and they found two yellow rhododendrons. Luo Fengtang followed the same method and dug them out with the roots and soil.

Yang Ruoqing also found many edible wild mushrooms in the moist grass of the forest, under dead leaves, and in the cracks of rocks.

"I just happened to bring a basket with me. These mushrooms are so fresh."

"Mom, this mushroom is so cute, it looks like a little button."

"No, it looks like a small umbrella." Yuanyuan picked up a mushroom and placed it on her head.

Yang Ruoqing looked at the brothers' rosy faces and said, "You are both right. They look like buttons and small umbrellas. Come on, let's have a competition to see who can pick more."

"Okay, I'll definitely be on the top."

"As long as I am here, I am number one..."

Looking at the clumsy but actively busy figures of the two children, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang followed behind. When they exchanged glances, they felt relieved and happy with each other.

"Now that the rain has stopped, we can let them play for a while longer." Luo Fengtang said.

Yang Ruoqing nodded. Although the children of this era were not as good as those of later generations in many material conditions, the children of this era had their own fun.

For example, these recreational activities that bring people close to nature are very much coveted by many children living in cities in later generations.

Many parents in later generations found it very interesting to take their children to pick strawberries in a strawberry garden, or to fish in an inflatable air cushion pool in a corner of a playground.
