The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 1890

[Chapter 1890 Qi Xuan Fanwai (48)]

It snowed heavily for two days and two nights, and when the door was opened, there was a vast expanse of white outside.

Qi Xuan practiced marksmanship in the yard for more than half an hour, and his whole body was sweating after the practice.

After taking a shower, Qi Xuan changed his clothes and looked at Gu Jiu, who was sitting leisurely before the meal and eating wowotou: “Why don’t you practice the exercises every day?” On the other hand, Gu Jiu had never practiced one-day qigong when he came here.

Gu Jiu didn’t look at Qixuan, took a boiled egg and knocked it open, while peeling it, he asked back, “How do you know I’m not practicing? Do you have to see it before it’s called practicing.”

Qi Xuan was instantly stopped.

Concubine Dou brought up the cooked shiitake mushroom and black rice porridge. Seeing that Qixuan was standing still, she said, “Why don’t you eat it? Isn’t it delicious?”

Qi Xuan shook his head and said, “It’s delicious.” It can’t be compared with the chef of the palace, but it is more than ten times better than his cooking skills.

After eating for a while, Ai Hua came. Since Gu Jiu asked him to get up and stand up every day at dawn, this child has never slept in. But in order to be able to go to the county seat, he never stayed in bed.

Qi Xuan said to Ai Hua, “You can write down the surnames from the beginning to the end for me, and I will check them.” The knowledge he has learned before, so that he is not afraid that he will forget what he learned earlier.

“good.”

Seeing Qi Xuan still painting there after writing, he didn’t bother, but went to the main room to find Gu Jiu: “Grandpa Jiu, what did you teach me about marksmanship?”

Gu Jiu was bored and laughed when he heard this: “If you want to learn, I will teach you a set of stick skills first.”

A total of 18 stick techniques were taught, and Ai Hua learned nine strokes in one morning. This made Gu Jiu a little surprised. He didn’t expect this kid to have some talent in martial arts. However, he didn’t praise him, just nodded and said, “Take a rest first.”

Putting down the wooden stick, Ai Hua couldn’t help feeling his stomach. After studying for such a short time, I am hungry.

Gu Jiu smiled and said, “There are wowotou and porridge in the pot in the kitchen, can you go get it yourself?” It’s easy to get hungry when you practice the exercises, so Concubine Dou will leave some food for Qixuan every day.

Ai Hua ate and ate a bowl of black rice porridge before returning to the studio.

At this time, Qi Xuan was reading the large characters written by Ai Hua in front of the charcoal fire. When I saw him coming, the class started.

After class, Aunt Dou had already prepared the meal. Seeing that Ai Hua was going home, Concubine Dou said, “Head of the house, let Ai Hua eat at our house!”

Qi Xuan shook his head and said, “Let him go home to eat.” Extra meals are okay, but three meals must be eaten at home.

After the child left, Concubine Dou said angrily, “You’re true, there is no shortage of his meal at home.”

Qi Xuan is not a stingy person, let alone a meal or two, even if he eats here every day, it will be fine. It’s just that he has his own considerations: “It’s easy to change from frugality to luxury, and it’s difficult to change from luxury to frugality. Our family’s food is better than his family’s. What if I don’t go home to eat after I’m used to eating at my house?”

Gu Jiu glanced at Qi Xuan with a smile on his face. Knowing to be considerate of others does change a lot.

After eating, Qi Xuan said to Gu Jiu, “I want to go for a walk on the mountain.” He wanted to go to the scene. I always stay at home, my mind is sluggish and I can’t draw anything.

Gu Jiu is naturally no problem.

After such a long period of exercise, even if the weather was cold after the snowfall, Qixuan put on a cotton jacket and cotton pants. It’s just that the snow was deep, and he deliberately wore the sheepskin high boots made for him by Aunt Dou. This way, you won’t be afraid of freezing your feet.

It was too cold, and the villagers stayed at home. Along the way, neither of them saw anyone.

Walking out of the village, Gu Long said, “What’s so beautiful about the white piece?”

Qi Xuan said: “Don’t you think that the scenery now has a different kind of beauty compared to the past?” The dense jungle in the past was a piece of green, but now it is covered in silver, each with its own beauty.

Gu Jiu didn’t bother to answer after he didn’t say anything speculative.

The two turned around and were about to go back when they saw someone coming down from the mountain.

Seeing that it was Niti, Qi Xuan said, “It’s snowing so hard, why are you still going up the mountain?”

Nitti smiled and said, “I was idle anyway, so I went to the mountains. I was lucky enough to hit a snow rabbit.” It’s just that the rabbits in winter are very thin, not as fat as in autumn.

I also know that people are reluctant to go out in such a cold weather. If this animal is not too hungry, it will not run out to forage in heavy snow.

Qi Xuan frowned and said, “It’s snowing now and it’s very cold. After you go back, boil a bowl of ginger soup and drink it!”

Nitti patted her chest and said, “It’s okay, I’m strong!” In such a cold day, Nitti even took a cold shower!

Qi Xuan shook his head and said, “You are not afraid now, but when you are old, you will suffer. If it is not necessary, don’t go up the mountain on a snowy day.”

Nity couldn’t help looking at Gu Jiu. Although Gu Jiu looked bland, he knew that he was a master.

Unfortunately, Gu Jiu gave him the back of his head.

Nitti took off the snow rabbit tied to his waist and handed it to Qi Xuan, “I’m too lazy to clean it up, I’ll give it to you.”

Qi Xuan shook his head and said with a smile, “No need, I don’t lack food at home.”

Niti looked a little sad, Qi Xuan was really estranged from him.

On the way back, Gu Jiu said: “I haven’t eaten fresh meat for a long time, why don’t we go to the mountain to see it tomorrow?”

“No.” The smoked meat at home will be fine until spring, so he doesn’t want to go to the mountains to blow the wind in such a cold day for one bite.

The next morning, Gu Jiu went hunting on the mountain. Luckily, I caught a sheep.

Throwing the sheep in the yard, Gu Jiu said with a smile: “We eat brushed mutton at night.”

Neither Qi Xuan nor Gu Jiu knew how to skin sheep, so they finally invited Niku to help.

Brushing mutton requires a lot of ingredients, and Aunt Dou can’t do it alone. When Ai Hua saw it, he ran home and asked his mother to come and help.

Mutton is the main ingredient. Besides, Aunt Dou also prepared potato, sweet potato, cabbage, white radish, bean sprouts, shiitake mushrooms, fungus and wax gourd. Among them, mutton, potato and white radish are enough.

Nico and Yijia feel extravagant. Just seeing the natural appearance of Qi Xuan and Concubine Dou, they didn’t say much.

The base soup is made from sheep bones, and Gu Jiu also threw in a few medicinal herbs, so the taste is not to mention delicious.

Because it was so delicious, a pot of more than ten catties of mutton was eaten cleanly. Except for Gu Jiu, everyone else was exhausted.

When the five members of Nico’s family went back, they couldn’t help touching their stomachs.

When he got home, Nico said, “Yijia, next time we hunt sheep, we will eat this way.”

Yi Jia glanced at him and said, “Tell A-Niang about this, don’t tell me.” All the food at home is kept in the storage room, and the keys to the storage room are kept by her mother-in-law.

Hearing this, Niko was silent. If I want his mother to come up with so many good ingredients to eat at once, I don’t need to ask and I know it’s impossible.

The weather in Aga Village does not warm up until mid-March. At this time, preparations for spring ploughing began.

Qi Xuan stayed in the studio for many days and didn’t have time to teach Ai Hua. The child’s schoolwork is also checked by Gu Jiu.

Five days later, Qi Xuan and Gu Jiu said, “I want to go to the county town in two days.”

“Draw it?” Seeing Qixuan nodding, Gu Jiu offered to watch it.

I don’t have confidence in the book Shu Qixuan has written, and I can’t do anything about it. I was hit by Yuxi too much. However, his paintings are sold at high prices, so he is still very confident.

This time Qi Xuan painted a landscape painting. Gu Jiu didn’t do much research on this. Seeing the lofty mountains above, with lush foliage, he nodded and said, “It’s beautiful.”

Qi Xuan said, “Then we will go out to the county town in the future?” Without Gu Jiu’s agreement, he did not dare to go out alone.

Gu Jiu nodded and said, “Yes.” This painting is not bad, but I don’t know how many taels it can sell for.

Last year, Qi Xuan told Ai Hua that he would take him to the county seat in the spring, and he naturally wouldn’t believe it.

Nigu didn’t object, but after hearing Qixuan say that the four of them went down the mountain, he didn’t agree: “Why don’t we wait until the end of the month! At that time, the villagers will go out to the market.”

Qi Xuan said with a smile: “You don’t have to worry about this, even the three of us will be fine.”

It’s strange that Nigu can rest assured, but he couldn’t understand Qixuan, and finally went home with a bitter face.

In fact, he really didn’t want to go, but he was worried that Qi Xuan and Gu Jiu would go alone. Even if he felt dangerous, he still decided to take Ai Hua with him.

If you want to go out, you must report to the elders at home. After the village chief found out, he told him to buy corn seeds and other things to come back.

Aunt Dou gave them corn seeds, but the village chief wanted the whole village to grow this high-yield food.

Nigu said with a bitter face: “Father, there are only three of us, and we still bring Ai Hua, how can we bring so many things.”

The village chief didn’t explain too much, and said, “If you want to take it with you, you can take it with you. There are so many words.”

When leaving, the village chief’s wife gave Nigu the money for the purchase: “Save some money.” The money included copper coins and broken silver.

Nico said, “I see.”

Seeing that Qixuan was carrying half a basket on his back, Nigu stepped forward and said, “Sir, I’ll come!” Since Aihua called Qixuan “Mr.”, Nigu also changed his name.

Qi Xuan shook his head and said, “No, I can afford it.”

When they reached the entrance of the village, the four of them saw Niti. Niko quickly explained: “Niti was called by me. I’m just the three of us, I really don’t feel relieved.” He originally called Niti tentatively, but he didn’t expect him to agree.

Nitti patted the basket on the back and said to Qi Xuan, “This is the tiger skin and tiger cream that I hunted last year. I want to sell it in the county town.” It is not realistic to sell the whole tiger, so tiger meat is all It is distributed for everyone to eat, and the tiger skin and tiger cream are sold. But these two are also the most valuable.

Qi Xuan nodded and said, “Let’s go!” Not to mention Nitty, who had a good impression of him, even if the hated Nig wanted to go with them, Qi Xuan would not object. But it’s the same road, and don’t want him to do anything.
