Today is Xia Qingfeng's last day in Yong'an Village, and they plan to leave tomorrow.
Last night, Xia Qingfeng had tidied up her home and put away everything she could secretly hide in the space. But there was no way to hide things like grain, saltpeter, pots and pans, so a carriage would not be able to load them. So, she asked Cang Dao to buy another carriage in the town during the day, and then she stayed outside the village and waited quietly.
Today, Xia Qingfeng planned to invite several close friends in the village to his home for dinner. Early in the morning, I went with Cang Qiang to the house of butcher Li in the next village and bought half a pig and dozens of eggs. I also asked Cang Qiang to go to the mountains to hunt some hares and pheasants and quietly deliver them to my home.
Xia Qingfeng's family didn't have any land, so they only opened a small half-acre in the backyard and planted some simple vegetables. Xia Qingfeng didn't plan to keep it anymore, so he plucked it all out, put some of the unfinished food today into the space, and took some with him on the road to eat. Aunt Li next door heard the commotion and brought her daughter-in-law to the house early in the morning to help.
It was not convenient for Xia Qingfeng, a widow, to invite too many people, so she only invited the village chief's family, Aunt Li's family next door, and Carpenter Wang's family.
Xia Qingfeng cooked four tables of dishes, each with ten dishes. Because the house was too small, they spread mats in the yard and everyone sat on the floor. Li Daya took Xiao Suo Tou, Xiao Mu and Xu Xiaoxiao to sit at a small table; Xia Qingfeng, Aunt Li, the village chief's wife and the daughters-in-law holding children made a big table; the village chief, Cang Ji and each other The men of the family sat at two tables.
Xia Qingfeng also specially took out a few bottles of liquor from the space, opened them and poured them into jars to entertain guests. There is no good wine in hospital supermarkets, but for ancient people, this was already a fine wine.
Of course, the three brothers will not miss out on the good wine and meat. Xia Qingfeng put the food into two large basins and also prepared a jar of wine. As soon as they left the kitchen, two black shadows fell down and floated out of the back window carrying wine and meat.
After the banquet started, Xia Qingfeng poured a glass of wine and stood up and said: "Today is my last day in Yong'an Village. I will leave tomorrow to find my parents. Thank you all for taking care of our mother and daughter during this time. Come, I respect you. A drink for everyone.”
The village chief also stood up and said: "It's not easy for you, Miss Xia. It's so difficult for me, and you still help us villagers. To be honest, we can't bear to see you leave, but filial piety is more important than anything else. I hope you have a safe journey and find your parents soon." Come back when you have the chance. If you encounter difficulties, come back. Our whole village is looking forward to your return."
"Yes! It's bitterly cold in Youzhou. It's a long way here. You must be more careful. It's not easy for you orphans and widowed mothers. If you can really find your relatives, I will feel relieved. If you can't find them, you must come back." Li Aunt couldn't help wiping her tears. Da Ya on the side was also holding Xu Xiaoxiao's hand, her eyes were red, and she was very reluctant to let go.
Carpenter Wang also nodded and said: "If it's difficult in Youzhou, you can bring your parents with you. We will help you repair your house together. When the time comes, we will help you open up wasteland and grow medicinal materials together." Li Dazhu on the side also did not Residential nod.
"Okay, thank you village chief, thank you everyone, if I can, I will definitely come back." Xia Qingfeng felt uncomfortable, she really couldn't bear to leave this village. If given the chance, she really wanted to bring her parents to settle here.
Cang Ji, who was sitting aside, looked at the scene in front of him without saying a word. Although he had only been in contact with this lady for a short time, it could be seen that their mother and daughter were not only kind, but also had some abilities. Although the most outstanding one she saw now was Got cooking skills. No wonder the master repeatedly warned in the letter that he must obey his wife's orders completely and not have any questions. Those who don't understand or are curious are not allowed to ask, just follow them.
The atmosphere was a bit sad, and the village chief said quickly: "Okay, okay, it's a good thing that Xia Yatou went to find her parents. We should be happy. Come, I want to try Xia Yatou's cooking. It tastes delicious."
Aunt Li also smiled and said: "My girl's craftsmanship is very good. We live as neighbors, so we have a lot of glory. Come, come, you can eat more."
In this way, everyone exchanged cups and cups, and everyone left in the middle of the afternoon.
That night, with knives, guns, and swords, they quietly transported the saltpeter and some items at home to a carriage outside the village. Xia Qingfeng made a lot of dry food overnight, and also boiled several jars of salted eggs and salted duck eggs that had been pickled before, putting some of them into the jars and putting most of them in the empty space. After selling the ginseng, Xia Qingfeng started pickling it. Many jars had been cooked and placed in the space. In previous lives, salted eggs were a perfect match for porridge! You can even eat several swords, guns, swords and halberds in one meal.
Xia Qingfeng also told the village chief how to pickle salted eggs, and suggested that the village chief set up a processing workshop in the village to form an industrial chain. Raising your own chickens and ducks, marinating and selling them yourself will also allow everyone to make an income during their spare time.
Except for a quilt for the night, everything else in the house was packed and loaded into the carriage.
There was no talking all night, and early the next morning, Xia Qingfeng didn't start the fire, and was going to have breakfast in the town. After loading everything into the carriage, Xia Qingfeng locked the door and prepared to return the key to the village chief.
As soon as I turned around, I saw many people standing at the door, all holding baskets in their hands. The village chief stepped forward and said, "We are here to see you off." After saying that, he put the basket in his hand on the carriage, which was a chicken. Then other villagers continued to hand over their own baskets, some containing a few eggs, some a piece of bacon, some pickles made by themselves, and various vegetables and fruits picked in the mountains. The little ones couldn't help wiping their tears. They felt so sad that their aunt and beautiful sister who often gave them sweets and pastries were leaving.
Xia Qingfeng and Xu Xiaoxiao also had red eyes, and Xu Xiaoxiao even distributed all the pastries and candies in the carriage to the little ones to eat on the road.
Xia Qingfeng and Xu Xiaoxiao bowed deeply to the villagers, then got in the car and left.
Seeing the villagers' figures getting smaller and smaller, Xia Qingfeng held Xu Xiaoxiao and wiped away her tears and said, "Xiaoxiao, if we have a good life in Youzhou, we will definitely come back, and I will definitely let these Good people live good lives.”
Xu Xiaoxiao, who was nestled in Xia Qingfeng's arms, also nodded heavily with red eyes.
After the carriage walked out of the village for two miles, it met up with Cang Jian's carriage. Xia Qingfeng got off the carriage, took out a few small bags from the baggage, gave them swords, guns, swords and halberds respectively, and said, "This is the drug I made myself." In addition, she gave everyone a small porcelain bottle and said: "This is the antidote. Before using it, just pour out a pill and swallow it, and you will not be affected. This medicine is very powerful. After use, at least it will make you feel better." The other party has been unconscious for five hours. Let's take it with you for self-defense." The four of them looked at each other after taking it, and then put it in their arms, thinking in their hearts: It seems that this lady's ability is not only able to make delicious food, they If you take good care of yourself, you might get more good things.
The carriage set off again, with Cang Dao taking the lead and clearing the way. After the Cang Gun was broken, they rushed to the town together.
