Abandoned Daughter's Beautiful Pastoral

Chapter 34 New Discoveries

The patriarch and others also said a few words kindly, asking them to go to them if they had any difficulties.

Zhang Xiaocao and Grandma Zhang returned home, looking at the simple, drafty thatched cottage, she secretly decided that one day, she would let grandma live in a bright and strong green brick house.

At this time, it was almost noon, and the grandparents and grandchildren were already very hungry. After eating simply, Zhang Xiaocao told Grandma Zhang that she was going to go into the mountains. It had been three or four days. If there was something in the trap, it would be too late I'm afraid it's a meal for other prey.

Grandma Zhang looked at the sky, a little worried, and decided to go with her.

Therefore, the two decided to go to a distant mountain stream first, and turn around to look at the cover when they came back.

They talked and laughed all the way, and soon arrived at the mountain stream. This time, they were not so lucky. There was no wild goat, but there was a big hedgehog. Although Zhang Xiaocao knew that this thing could be eaten and sold, but the hedgehog died. Crying like a baby would make her feel guilty, so she was released.

Zhang Xiaocao re-disguised the trap, but she wondered if she should find a way to dig deeper. This location is very good. Every day, animals would come to drink water, and some animals would fall into the trap, just because the trap was too shallow. All escaped.

It's just that there are hard rocks under the trap, and there are no advanced digging tools like the previous life, so I have to give up.

The grandparents and grandson looked at the rabbit sets with empty hands. Unexpectedly, there were several sets of them!

Grandma Zhang smiled and looked at the four fat hares in her hands, and said to her granddaughter who was also carrying two fat hares: "It's weird, it was good to have one before, but now there are six of them." !"

Zhang Xiaocao was also very happy. She didn't expect that method to be really useful.

Seeing that the harvest was less than once before, she racked her brains for ideas. Later, she saw sparrows boldly flying in from the window of the stove to eat food in order to find something to eat. Vegetable leaves and corn kernels, will rabbits be hooked? Unexpectedly, they are really useful!

Happily returning home, Zhang Xiaocao decided not to skin the rabbit and sell it, but to send it to the patriarch Lizheng. After all, he helped a lot today, so he couldn't invite them to dinner, and sending a rabbit was also a sign Mind.

Grandma Zhang clapped her hands in agreement, feeling that since her granddaughter fell into the water, she has become more and more intelligent, and now she also understands the world.

In this way, there was only one rabbit left. Grandma Zhang immediately decided to have an extra meal in the evening.

In order not to hit their eyes, they decided to go when it was completely dark.

The grandparents and grandchildren were happily busy in the stove house. The matter of slaughtering the rabbit was left to Grandma Zhang, and Zhang Xiaocao went to the vegetable garden to pull a Chinese cabbage and a few garlic plants. The garlic can be sold, eh , Talk to grandma, pull some tomorrow and go to the town to buy them.

After washing and cutting, when she was almost ready, Grandma Zhang also took care of the rabbit.

Grandma Zhang wanted to cook herself, and Zhang Xiaocao was not allowed to do it, so Zhang Xiaocao had to sit under the stove and help light the fire.

First, stir-fry the Chinese cabbage, then stir-fry the soaked corn with chili and garlic, and then stir-fry a dried radish, and finally, start to make rabbit meat.

Grandma Zhang originally planned to stew the soup, but Zhang Xiaocao felt that wild animals such as hares and pheasants had a strong smell of mutton. There are very few seasonings here, not even ginger, so stir-fried braised in brown sauce is the best Yes, garlic, chili, soy sauce and vinegar can be used to cover up the smell.

Brown rice was cooked in it, and when the rabbit meat was cooked and the rice was cooked, the grandparents and grandson chatted and gorged themselves, their mouths were full of oil. This is Zhang Xiaocao’s most comfortable meal since he came here for half a year. Best meal ever.

The same is true for Grandma Zhang. She used to live alone, and her life was very poor and frugal. If she hadn't had an extra granddaughter today, she would not be willing to eat like this.

After the meal, Zhang Xiaocao rushed to wash the dishes and chopsticks, cleaned up the stove, and told grandma that she planned to pull out the garlic and go to the town to try buying it tomorrow.

Grandma Zhang said: "Well, this garlic should be sold. Grandma really didn't expect that garlic can be grown in this cold weather. Grandma will sell it with you tomorrow!"

Zhang Xiaocao nodded, very happy. Neither she nor the original owner had ever been to the town. She wanted to see what the ancient market looked like!
There was nothing to say all night. On the second day, both grandparents and grandchildren got up early in the morning, pulled out the large garlic in the yard, washed the roots with water, and exposed the white garlic, which was full of garlic. A basket on the back probably weighs about twenty catties.

After freshening up, the sky in the east was already bright. Zhang Xiaocao originally wanted to carry the basket on his back, but grandma disagreed, fearing that she would crush it, so they had to take the embroidery that grandma had accumulated these days, and the two of them locked the door and went to went to town.

The closest to Zhangjia Village is Shuanghe Town. The reason why it is called Shuanghe Town is because this town is located at the confluence of Ninghe River and another Heluo River, so it is named Shuanghe Town, and a section of river after the confluence is called Shuanghe Town. The Luoning River finally flows into the second largest river in Yuanqing—the Canglan River, which is how Linjiang County got its name.

Shuanghe Town is not far away. The grandparents and grandchildren arrived after walking for nearly an hour. Because there is only such a town nearby, there is a market every day. At this time, the wide Qingshi street is lined with shops and people come and go Going, there is an endless stream, so lively!

Grandma Zhang often came to the town, so she was very familiar with the town, and soon brought Zhang Xiaocao to the vegetable market.

Because they came late, all the good spots were taken up, Grandma Zhang had no choice but to take Zhang Xiaocao to the end of the street, and spread a piece of sackcloth on the ground, which was considered a simple stall.

Zhang Xiaocao had just carefully looked at the vegetables that others put on the ground. They were all Chinese cabbage, radishes, and long cabbage for pickles. There were quite a few selling pork and wild animals, which greatly boosted her confidence. Garlic It's sure to sell well.

Sure enough, as soon as the garlic was put on the table, people came around. Seeing this, Zhang Xiaocao greeted her cleverly. A well-dressed woman with a stick of water stuck in her hair picked up the garlic, looked carefully, and smelled it again. After sniffing, she finally said to Grandma Zhang: "This is really garlic. I thought I was mistaken at first. It's strange to have garlic in this winter. Auntie, what kind of garlic do you grow?" from?"

Of course, Grandma Zhang couldn't tell her how it was planted, so she just smiled and said, "Ma'am, my granddaughter made it all up, and I don't know how she did it!"

The woman was just asking casually. Seeing that Grandma Zhang pushed everything on a little girl, she knew that she didn't want to say more, and she was not unhappy. Seeing that the garlic was green and pleasing, she wanted to buy some, so she asked: " How do you sell the garlic sprouts?"
