Paradise

On the second day after Zhou Ze and Lin Bao left home, Lin Yu had already started to miss them, not only missing them, but most importantly, worrying about them, fearing that they were in danger.

People in the village said that there are many dangers in the mountain, and no one dared to go deep into the mountain. Zhou Ze went into the mountain several times last year, and came back with injuries several times, even if the injuries were not serious, they were still injured. Lin Yu was very distressed and sad. In fact, he really wanted to persuade Zhou Ze not to enter the mountain.

Lin Yu feels that her family's life is very good now. She has saved a lot of money and runs a grocery store. There is only one or two taels of silver in a month, which is enough for the family to eat and drink. Many people in the village are well.He didn't want Zhou Ze to work so hard, he didn't want him to be in danger, he just wanted him to be safe.

Lin Yu is very content now, and he doesn't envy the life of great wealth and wealth. He prefers to live this kind of ordinary life where a little wealth is easy to live in. The family is safe, simple and happy.

Today's weather is bad, cloudy, the rain clouds in the sky are thick, the air is very dull, swallows lowered their flight altitude, preying on flying insects, everyone in the village knows that it is going to rain.

The worry in Lin Yu's heart did not decrease but increased, and he felt uneasy. He stood at the door of his house and looked over, only to see the clouds and mist on the other side of the mountain, which made it unreal.

I heard from the old man in the village that the rain in the mountains is heavier than in other places. He hopes that Zhou Ze and the others can find a shelter from the rain and don't get caught by the rain.

In the evening, it was raining heavily in Luoxia Village. The rain was not light, and it was getting bigger and bigger. There were lightning flashes and thunder in the air on the other side of the mountain...

Brother Zhou, you must come back safely!Lin Yu looked in the direction of Dashan and muttered in her heart.

In the mountains, it rained in the middle of the night, until it was almost dawn, and the rain gradually weakened. It was a blessing for Zhou Ze and the others to avoid being wet by the rain because they were in the cave.

After staying overnight for the first time, they have adapted a lot this time, especially in a relatively safe place like a cave.

The sound of the rain outside was loud, and some of the rain was too much, converging into streams, flowing down the cliff, and the sound of rushing water was endless.

After experiencing the things during the day, everyone was a little tired. They sat on the stone wall, warmed up by the fire, and gradually fell asleep.But he has been sleeping restlessly, in a state of half-dream and half-awake, Liu Xiaohu even had a nightmare and yelled in his sleep...

Finally, it was dawn, the rain was over and the sky was clear. The rain in the mountains was falling fast and passing quickly. Zhou Ze and the others should be thankful that they didn’t go into the mountains during the rainy season. At that time, the rain only came in bursts. It can rain several times a day.

The mountain road after rain is even more slippery and muddy, and it is even more difficult to walk down the mountain. If you are not careful, there is a risk of slipping and falling. They walked slowly holding on to the branches and trunks along the way.

In the afternoon, they finally came to the outermost hill. There, they met people from the village who went into the mountain to pick up mushrooms. Seeing familiar people, Liu Qiang and the others could relax their tense nerves.

And over this small hill, it means that they can go home tonight and have a peaceful sleep.

Liu Qiang saw Liu Erfei followed his mother out to pick up mushrooms, went up to say hello, then called him aside, muttering to his ear for a while.

Finally, Liu Erfei patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'll leave this small matter to me, and it will be done properly. You go home first, Zhao Gouzi is here, and I'll tell him about it later. We can do it together."

"Okay, let's do it like this. This business is for the three of us, and the three of us will share it equally." Liu Qiang said bluntly, everyone who has money can earn a share, and he is not a greedy person.

Liu Erfei's eyes lit up, "Good brother, it's interesting."

Liu Qiang confessed the good thing, ran to Zhou Ze and the others who were resting, and told Zhou Ze the matter without reservation. It was exactly what he wanted to sell the mushrooms in Fucheng.

"In addition to mushrooms, you can also collect some wild vegetables, new elm coins, and sophora japonica flowers. Rich people in Fucheng like to eat fresh ones, and they like clean ones. You should also spend time picking up these things."

Zhou Ze said, he remembered that modern people also like to eat these wild vegetables in spring, and they all want to make them fresh and delicious, but I don’t know if the ancient people also liked to eat them, anyway, it’s good to try, he put this The suggestion was told to Liu Qiang.

This kind of seasonal dishes, one is "new" and the other is "fresh". It would be good if it is clean and hygienic. The word "fresh" alone is not easy to cook. They are too far away from Fucheng, and they will be transported there. , It takes a day, and it takes time to sell.In many cases, mountain products are sold as dry products because they are not easy to keep fresh.

These people in their village dug up wild vegetables and mushrooms, and they usually sell them in the county town while they are fresh. There are quite a lot of people who sell them, and the price can't be sold, but it is more or less an income.

Fucheng is far away from the mountains, so it is not so easy to eat mountain products, which is why Liu Qiang wants to resell mountain products there.

Zhou Ze explained to Liu Qiang what he knew and could think of, in a way that Liu Qiang could understand. He also hoped that the villagers could find a way to get rich. One person is not rich, but it is good for everyone in the village to become rich. , so no one is always watching his house.

However, Zhou Ze himself doesn't like to take the lead. His experience makes him a bit "independent". Compared with the team, he prefers "lone wolf" actions, but he doesn't mind sharing some knowledge to help others.

Liu Qiang couldn't help but nodded, "Brother Zhou, you know a lot. After listening to it, I always feel that I have a new idea. I need to think about it."

"Actions are more important than ideas. Thinking is useless. Only after doing a lot of things will we know whether it is suitable. We have no experience in this field, so we have to try." Zhou Ze said.

"Well, I will. When I get home, tell my father first. I want to hear what he has to say." Liu Qiang said.

Seeing that he had an idea, Zhou Ze didn't say much, he just wanted to go home as soon as possible, he missed Lin Yu.

Looking back home, he met many villagers along the way. Liu Xiaohu couldn't help but feel more at ease. He still remembered the mushroom picking. Along the way, he picked a lot of fresh mushrooms.Seeing this, Lin Bao followed him to pick a lot of mushrooms, which were enough for them to eat as a side dish at night.

As the sun set, they went down the mountain and set foot on the path back to the village. Everyone was in a good mood, and even their steps became much lighter.

Soon, they entered the village, and just as they were about to separate and go back to their homes, Liu Xiaohu, who had hesitated all the way, finally spoke,

"Brother Zhou, can you give me a few leaves of Limonium Limonium, I, I want to take it home and feed it to my parents. My father hurt his back, and my mother has been in poor health recently and has been coughing..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Ze basically understood what he meant. He took out a jade box from the basket and opened it. On the top was a Limonium with only six or seven leaves left. The blood-boosting prairie originally had more than a dozen leaves, but when they spent the night on the mountain, Zhou Ze decided to give them some to eat.

Zhou Ze didn't take this incomplete Limonium Limonium, but took out a complete Limonium Limonium from below and handed it to Liu Xiaohu. Although he didn't like to be a "good guy", Zhou Ze still loved Liu Xiaohu along the way. I admire this kid who is willing to endure hardships and make progress. Liu Xiaohu has the shadow of his youth, and he is willing to help him.

"No, no, Brother Zhou, I can't take this one. I don't want this one. You can just give me the half one. If there is too much, I won't be able to use it. It will go bad if it is not fresh, so it will be a waste."

Liu Xiaohu waved his hands again and again, stepped back, refused to pick up the Limonium stalk, and insisted on the half tree with only a few leaves left. He was very grateful to get half of the Limonium sapling.

In the end, Zhou Ze gave him the half tree, but he had already made up his mind that after selling the blood limonium for some money, he would distribute some money to Liu Xiaohu.

"Give this half to your parents first, and share it with you when you sell the blood-blood grass." Zhou Ze said.

"Brother Zhou, you don't need to give me any money, these are enough, thank you!" Liu Xiaohu was very contented, bowed deeply to Zhou Ze, holding half a Limonium in his hand, and ran home happily , I turned a corner for a while, and I couldn't see the shadow.

"Huzi, run slowly, you fell carefully." Liu Qiang shouted from behind, "This kid ran so fast, he disappeared without a trace."

"Do you want to take Limonium back home?" Zhou Ze asked. He still remembered that Liu Qiang's daughter-in-law was pregnant and vomited all the time.

Liu Qiang thought for a while before saying, "This blood-enriching herb is so effective, I don't know how much to give her. If I eat too much, I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it. How about this, brother Zhou, give me two leaves, I will eat one slice for my mother and one slice for my daughter-in-law."

Zhou Ze smiled, "You can do it, you love your daughter-in-law and make your mother happy."

Liu Qiang was teased, he rubbed the back of his head and laughed, and finally got two leaves of Limonium, which he took home as a treasure to coax his wife and mother.

"Let's go, let's go home too, your brother must be waiting for us!" Zhou Ze said to Lin Bao with a happy face.

"I don't know what my brother cooked for dinner. I'm so hungry. I want to have a full meal and sleep well when I get back home." Lin Bao rubbed his hungry belly and walked faster.

Lin Yu was indeed preparing food at home at this time. He remembered that when Zhou Ze left, he said that he would definitely come back in three days. Today is the third day, and he has been anxiously waiting.

After the rain, the weather suddenly became much colder, and people took out their thick coats to put on again. Lin Yu thought that Zhou Ze and the others must be colder in the mountains, so he thought about preparing some warm food for them to eat. Thought of making hot noodle soup.

In the afternoon, he went to the butcher in the neighboring village, cut two catties of meat, and bought a piece of tofu.Cut all the ingredients early, make the noodles, roll the noodles and cut them into noodles and put them on the grate to dry.

Not sure when Zhou Ze and the others will come back, Lin Yu first prepares the hot soup, stir-fry the onion and garlic, add sliced ​​meat and stir-fry, bring to a boil, add diced tofu, and simmer over low heat.

When Zhou Ze and the others entered the courtyard, they could smell the tempting aroma of rice, and their stomachs could not help but growl twice.

Huang Mao was also very happy to see them coming back. He barked twice into the room and wagged his tail around Zhou Ze and Lin Bao.

Lin Yu in the room was overjoyed when she heard Huang Mao's cry, and hurried out of the room.

Lin Bao shouted, "Brother, we are back!"

As soon as he came out of the house, he saw Zhou Ze and Lin Bao in the yard. His uneasy heart suddenly fell to the ground, and he stepped forward a few steps, looking up and down, "Brother Zhou, Xiaobao, you are back! Is everything alright? "

"Don't worry, brother, we're all fine, we're fine, we're not hurt, but we're going to be hungry, what delicious food did you cook, let's have dinner." Lin Bao hurriedly replied, he knew him very well Brother, knowing that Lin Yu must have been worried about them all the time, he smiled playfully, thinking about letting his brother relax.

Seeing Lin Yu's concerned gaze, Zhou Ze's heart softened. He smiled at Lin Yu and said, "Ayu, we're fine! How are you doing these days?"

"I'm fine at home. I boiled hot water in the pot. You guys wash it first. I'll make noodles. Today we will eat hot noodle soup." Lin Yu said.

He took the pannier from Lin Bao's back and carried it with Zhou Ze into the house, while Lin Bao went to the stove outside the house to scoop up water to wash his hands and face.

Seeing that Lin Bao wasn't following behind, Zhou Ze leaned close to Lin Yu's face and kissed him, and whispered in his ear, "Ayu, I miss you!"

Lin Yu's ears turned red, and she replied softly, "Brother Zhou, I miss you too."

With just such a sentence, Zhou Ze's heart became hot.
