The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 441 Candidates for Stewardship (1)
They were going further and further away, and there was a faint cheer from the boys on the other side.

Mr. Lu said with a smile, "I'm so happy, I guess I caught a pheasant or a hare..." He stopped in the middle of speaking, and looked sideways, "What is it?"

Qing Shu stopped, "Sir, what's wrong with you?"

"What kind of grass is this? It has thorns? It hooked the corner of Mr.'s robe."

A servant has already stepped forward and rescued Mr. Lu from the hooked corner of his robe.

Qingshu walked over to look, and saw a thin seedling standing upright in the withered grass, not as tall as her knees, with a lot of thorns growing on it.She said, "It doesn't look like grass, maybe a seedling of some kind of tree?"

When Mr. Lu heard this, he let out a sigh, looked carefully, and then looked at Qing Shu with a happy face, "Girl, sir, I found something good for you."

Qing Shu was puzzled, "A good thing? Do you mean it's a good thing?"

"Naturally it is a good thing. If your guess is correct, this is a jujube tree seedling."

"Jujube tree seedlings?" Qing Shu was surprised, she had only seen jujube trees in farmyards that grew tall, big, luxuriant and bearing fruit, but she had never seen seedlings, so she really didn't think about that. .

At this time, the servants also said that it looked like a jujube tree.

Qingshu was excited, "Hurry up, hurry up and take a look, are there any around?"

Except for Yingwei who didn't move, the servants all scattered to look for it.Because it is mixed in withered grass, it does not grow very high, so it is really hard to find.However, there are still around, but not many, only two trees were found at a distance.

Qingshu thought, with such a large piece of wasteland, if you look for it carefully, you might find something good.It was these jujube saplings, and they found three of them right now.No, you can't burn wasteland.Once it is set on fire, although it is easy to deal with a large area of ​​dead grass, there will be nothing left in the end.It seems that her plan to burn wasteland has been shelved. "Hurry up, cut down the withered grass in front of the jujube saplings you found. With the markers, it will be easy to find them later."

Everyone moved quickly, cutting down the dead grass around the jujube saplings they found.

At some point, Xiaojuan, who walked far away alone, waved her hands and shouted loudly, "Miss, miss, there are many here, here, here."

Qing Shu didn't bother to reprimand her for running around, so she hurriedly led someone there.At this time, whether to scratch the clothes is no longer within the scope of her consideration, and there is no need for the servant to cut the way ahead and stumbling over in a hurry.

When I went to the place, I found out that there were many jujube seedlings densely growing in the wasteland that Xiaojuan found.

Needless to say, Steward Ding stepped forward with a hatchet, looked at it for a while, bent down to cut the withered grass around the seedling, and the other servants followed suit.

When they cut out the general outline of the land occupied by the seedlings, Mr. Lu said, "I estimate that there must be a hundred or so at least." Enough, how does the fruit taste after flowering and fruiting. If the fruit is too small and the taste is not good, it will be a waste of time to plant it."

Qing Shu was in a good mood, "Sir, even though it is not a good jujube, there are so many seedlings growing here. From this point of view, this land is really suitable for planting fruit trees. Knowing this, I no longer feel uneasy , and my confidence in planting fruit trees has doubled. For me, this is also a big harvest.”

"That's true." After Mr. Lu said, he burst out laughing.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Lu's laughter surprised a few pheasants flying out of the withered grass in front left.

Mr. Lu was stunned for a moment, and immediately yelled without image, "What are you doing standing there stupidly? Hurry up and grab it back and cook it for your husband."

However, before the servants could move, the bow and arrow sounded and swished a few times, and then the cheers of Qingyang and the others came from the other side.

The sign here has been made, so Qingshu greeted Guanshi Ding and the others, and walked in the direction of Qingyang and the others.

When the people on both sides met, Xiaoya blushed and looked up at Qingshu, then carefully handed over the handkerchief with something wrapped around it, "Miss, it's an egg, it's an egg, we picked it up."

Qing Shu took it and took a look. There were five or six eggs wrapped in the handkerchief, not much bigger than a bird's egg.

Maizi shouted from the side, "It's wild eggs, wild eggs, my brother picked them up."

Qing Shu praised them a few words, and when he learned that the guards had killed four pheasants and one hare, he said that it was not good to go too far, and it was time to go back.

Chen Qiaojiang and the others were a bit reluctant, but after all, they were still young, and they were quite tired after walking so far.Maizi and Shengge were still alive and kicking because the guards carried them for a distance from time to time.

Guard Du quickly made arrangements and sent two eagle guards to continue hunting. Together with other guards, he guarded Qingshu Qingyang and the others back.

When they returned to the chariot and horses, the adult man was fine, Chen Qiaojiang and the others were a little tired, and Qing Shu was also tired from walking.

The younger ones rested in the carriage, and Qingshu called everyone to take down the big iron pot on the bullock cart, and set up a pot and stove in the place where the hay was cleaned.

The most important thing in this place is dry grass for lighting fire, not to mention dry firewood.And water, when Qing Shu and the others were walking around, some family members had already mounted their horses, went to the spring on the other side of the mountain, and returned with four buckets of water.

For this trip, Qingshu brought Qingyang and the others to see the wasteland and have a picnic, so they brought everything with them.Several maidservants were busy cooking porridge, laying mats, setting tables, and bringing snacks and jerky in the open air.

Pheasants and hares are windfalls.A servant took it to the side and cleaned it up, washed it with clean water, and brought it here.

Qing Shu didn't think it was dirty, so she picked up the packed pheasant, and started stuffing the pheasant with the seasonings she brought out with her own hands.Two of them had peppers stuffed in their bellies, but the other two didn't.But she didn't go out with lotus leaves, what should she do?
Qing Shuchou wanted to brainstorm ideas, so she asked people around her if there was anything that could replace the lotus leaf. She wanted to wrap the cleaned pheasant and roast it.

Manager Wu said that they had lotus leaves for dry food and asked her if she wanted them.

To, of course, what is missing is it.The lotus leaf was there, so Qingshu quickly wrapped the pheasant in the lotus leaf, and then ordered a servant to dig a small hole in the ground, and then ordered another servant to make (huo) some mud.In this way, after the outer layer of the lotus leaf was covered with another layer of mud, she put the four pheasants into the dug hole, buried a layer of soil, and leveled it.Then, she ordered people to put dead branches on it and light a fire.Roast pheasant under the fire, and roast rabbit meat above the fire, killing two birds with one stone.

After cleaning her hands, she handed over the rest to others, and went back to the carriage to rest.
