Ji Lingxiao was lifted up from the bed by Jiang Xiaohei.
It's time to chop wood.
Ji Lingxiao changed into a short outfit that made it easier to walk, with her hair tied up, and she looked much more energetic.
It's just that the face is too handsome, the peach blossom eyes are too attractive, and they are a bit out of place in the mountains and forests.
Jiang Yao also put on clothes that were suitable for climbing, with her cuffs and trouser legs tied up. She planned to go to the mountain to see if there was anything she could pick.
Zhao Qingqing heard that Jiang Yao was going up the mountain and wanted to follow him.
So a group of two people became a group of four people.
Went up to the mountain under the bright sun.
Along the way, Ji Lingxiao and Zhao Qingqing couldn't help but quarrel.
Ji Lingxiao: "Don't follow me."
Zhao Qingqing: "This is the road, don't be sentimental."
Ji Lingxiao: "There is a snake!"
Zhao Qingqing was most afraid of snakes, so she was so frightened that she jumped on Jiang Yao's back.
Ji Lingxiao: "Sorry, I saw it wrong."
Zhao Qingqing was so angry that she chased Ji Lingxiao with a machete.
Jiang Xiaohei shook his head helplessly: "Childish."
Jiang Yao looked at the two people chasing in front of her and was called childish by a child. She was really childish.
Ji Lingxiao and Jiang Xiaohei arrived at the same place and chopped wood with hatchets.
Ji Lingxiao was like a young master, he had to be cared for even though he was chopping firewood.
After cutting down a tree, Jiang Xiaohei was asked to hand him a bamboo tube of water.
Jiang Yao and Zhao Qingqing looked around to see if they could gain anything.
There was no ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, etc. Jiang Yao caught a few snakes, carried them in a sack, and threw them into the basket.
Zhao Qingqing looked at the squirming snake, her scalp numb: "Jiang Yao, why don't you kill it?"
"This live snake sells for a high price."
Zhao Qingqing was five steps away from Jiang Yao and looked at Jiang Yao with frightened eyes. She was so scary!
Turned around again.
"Jiang Yao, there are a lot of wild fruits here!" Zhao Qingqing shouted.
Jiang Yao ran to look and saw that Zhao Qingqing had just put a wild fruit into his mouth, and his little face wrinkled up.
"It's too sour." Zhao Qingqing quickly threw it on the table, "It doesn't taste good. Let's go look for it elsewhere."
With that said, he was going to go somewhere else.
After taking two steps, Jiang Yao was standing there, picking wild fruits and throwing them into the basket on his back.
Zhao Qingqing walked back again.
"What's the point of picking it so sourly?"
"This is mountain grape, which can be used to make wine." Jiang Yao said.
"Brewing wine?" This is the first time Zhao Qingqing has heard of it.
"Yes, wine." Jiang Yao said.
Jiang Yao originally wanted to develop more wine varieties, but with luck, she found so many mountain grapes that she could make wine!
Thinking about the taste of wine, Jiang Yao swallowed a mouthful of saliva unconsciously.
Zhao Qingqing is good at wine. He drank rice wine at Jiang Yao's house and thought it tasted great.
What does this wine taste like?
Zhao Qingqing helped pick them and picked all the ripe ones.
A backpack was full, Jiang Yao weighed it, it must be at least twenty kilograms!
Zhao Qingqing wanted to help Jiang Yao carry it, but when he saw the snake squirming in the sack, his scalp went numb and he retracted his outstretched hand.
The two went to find Ji Lingxiao and Jiang Xiaohei.
He saw two bundles of firewood on the ground.
Ji Lingxiao was lying under the shade of the tree.
Jiang Xiaohei, on the other hand, was holding a large piece of leaves and fanning Ji Lingxiao.
What a great man.
However, Jiang Yao also acquiesced in the good relationship between Jiang Xiaohei and Ji Lingxiao.
In this era, although there were imperial examinations, the concept of family status was also very important.
It’s hard for a kid from a poor family to get ahead.
Even if you get into the top three in the exam, you still have to rely on your mentor and your father-in-law’s family.
For people like Ji Huaiye, something happened to his mentor and he refused to marry a wife with a powerful family. Even the top scholar was sent to such a remote place as a county magistrate.
If there is no opportunity, maybe my whole life will be wasted here.
Jiang Xiaohei likes to study and will take the imperial examination route in the future.
The Ji family is also a big family in the capital. Ji Lingxiao and Jiang Xiaohei have this connection, which may be beneficial to Jiang Xiaohei in the future.
Zhao Qingqing walked over quietly, walked up to Ji Lingxiao, stretched out her hand, and pinched his nose.
Ji Lingxiao opened his mouth and continued breathing.
Zhao Qingqing: "..."
"Taoist, Taoist!" Jiang Xiaohei shouted several times before waking Ji Lingxiao up.
He lazily climbed up and saw Zhao Qingqing looking at him angrily.
He had no idea how he provoked this female bandit and was completely confused.
Ignoring her, he carried a bundle of firewood and went down the mountain.
As soon as they got home, Xiao Tianbao and the puppy ran over to help Jiang Yao carry the basket.
Zhao Qingqing looked at the two little guys, fearing that the snake placed on the mouth of the basket would scare them, so she bravely picked up the snake bag.
She closed her eyes and imagined holding a sack of snakes in her hands, and her body trembled unconsciously.
"Auntie, let me get it." Xiao Tianbao took it.
"There is a snake inside." Zhao Qingqing said quickly.
However, the little sweet baby was not afraid at all. He held it with his little hands and shook it, and the two buns on his head also shook.
"If you sell the snake, you can buy something delicious." Apparently he was very happy.
Zhao Qingqing looked at the little guy's happy face.
Jiang Yao is the big devil, and the two little ones are the little devils!
After entering the house, Jiang Yao took a sip of tea brought by the dog and rested for a while.
She looked at the baskets of mountain grapes. It was too hot to keep them for a long time and they had to be washed first.
Jiang Yao carried the basket of mountain grapes on her back and went to the river to wash them.
Zhao Qingqing was very tired, but curious about how the wine was made, so she followed.
The two little ones naturally went to help.
Arrived at the river.
It was afternoon and there was no one at the river.
Jiang Yao occupied the largest stone and placed the basket and two baskets containing mountain grapes there.
Wash the mountain grapes and put them in a basket.
Zhao Qingqing originally thought that the two puppies were just here to join in the fun, but soon discovered that the puppies were quite good at working.
The little guy's movements are very neat and he washes quickly, even better than her.
She and Sweetie Baby combined are no match for a puppy.
The children of poor people have long been in charge of the family. If the little guy is so capable, he must have suffered a lot.
Zhao Qingqing felt that it was actually not easy for Jiang Yao, a widow with two children.
The father of these two treasures was also unsatisfactory. He was so short-lived and left behind orphans and widows...
Zhao Qingqing felt sorry for their three mothers and couldn't help but work faster.
Several people worked very quickly and finished washing the mountain grapes in less than half an hour.
Jiang Yao walked in front carrying a basket, and the dog followed behind, carrying a basket on his back and holding his sister.
The rays of the setting sun fell on the mother and son, giving them a touch of warmth.
When she got home, Jiang Yao took out a dustpan, spread the mountain grapes in the dustpan, and dried the water.
Qian Zhaodi came back with a hoe and was quite curious when she saw two dustpans of mountain grapes.
This food is not tasty, very sour, and makes you hungry very easily, so everyone doesn’t like it and doesn’t give it to children.
Why did Yaoyao come back to pick so many wild fruits?
"These mountain grapes can be used to make wine, and the wine produced lasts longer than rice wine," Jiang Yao said.
Qian Zhaodi's eyes suddenly lit up.
Rice wine doesn’t last long, and the sales volume isn’t that big, so I brewed a few jars and left them there before going out of business.
This wine can last a long time, can it be brewed a little longer?
