Chapter 649: The Second Palace Maiden

The villagers are not stupid, how can they not know that there are bird eggs in the wasteland? It's just that there are poisonous snakes in the wilderness, and if you accidentally bite them, they will kill people. "You don't want to die?" Su Qingling said angrily.

Su Qingni said in her heart: Your sister's life has long been over. Instead of starving to death, it is better to fight for your life in the wasteland.

"Sister, I'm not afraid of snakes. Su Qingni said.

"Hmph! Su Qingling said angrily, "Tomorrow, you will stay at home for me, and you will not be allowed to run into the wilderness again." ”

Su Qingni's left ear went in and out of her right ear, and her obedient appearance made Su Qingling think that she had listened to her discipline.

Looking at the two wild duck eggs, Su Qingling swallowed her saliva. I'm so hungry and want to eat.

There was a sound of chewing on the side, it was Su Chengyuan who had already peeled off a duck egg and started eating.

Su Qingling couldn't suppress her desire to eat anymore, and handed another duck egg in her hand to Su Qingni, ready to eat the remaining one in her hand.

Su Qingni refused: "Sister, I have eaten a duck egg, and there is still one left." We have two duck eggs per person, and you keep this duck egg for yourself. ”

Hearing this, Su Qingling put the duck egg in her arms, peeled off the shell of the duck egg in her hand, and began to eat it.

Su Qingling cherished it very much, she hadn't eaten such a good thing for a long time.

Su Chengyuan, like Su Qingling, eats extremely cherished. A duck egg, which two people ate for a quarter of an hour.

After eating the duck eggs, there was something in their empty stomachs, and there was no hunger that they usually tried so hard to endure.

Both were content.

The second duck egg, which neither of them ate, was ready to make breakfast the next morning.

That night, Su Qingling and Su Chengyuan slept comfortably rarely.

Su Qingni didn't sleep, and when Su Qingling fell asleep, she began to practice self-cultivation. Now this body is too bad, and you have to work hard to recuperate. You don't have to think about eating and recuperating, let alone medicinal herbs - this is Goryeo, not the medicinal materials for planting flowers and bathing in medicinal baths, and you can't get together here at all. Even if there is a medicinal herb shop in Goryeo, the medicinal materials in it are all shipped from planting flowers, and the price is too expensive, and Su Qingni can't afford it at all.

After a night of cultivation, Su Qingni's body has improved a little, at least go to the wilderness to find food, she won't be tired for a while.

Su Qingling got up early in the morning and boiled hot water, and the three sisters and brothers ate the remaining duck eggs with hot water. With food in their stomachs, Su Qingling and Su Chengyuan both felt that they were more energetic at this moment than before. You can do your work more smoothly today, right?

The two of them happily went to the town to find work, and Su Qingni went out with a small basket on her back.

When she met the woman in the village and said hello politely, Su Qingni walked out of the village.

There are a lot of wild grasses on the wasteland, most of which are inedible, but the definition of inedible is given by the people of Goryeo, for Su Qingni, whose core is from the country of planting flowers, there are several kinds of wild grasses that cannot be eaten.

Su Qingni dug up the edible wild vegetables and put them in the basket and walked into the wasteland. This time, Su Qingni's luck was not as good as yesterday, and she didn't find any other bird's nests. As for the wild duck nest that he visited yesterday, Su Qingni will not come again. I've already taken something from someone once, and I can't take it a second time.

Suddenly, Su Qingni's movements paused, and her eyes looked towards a certain place under her feet.

Su Qingni's gaze met a cold gaze.

It was a snake the size of a child's arm, with a triangular head and two long fangs.

Su Qingni: "......"

Su Qingling is really a crow's mouth!

Su Qingni is not afraid of poisonous snakes, although his body is not very powerful now, but the skills are there, and it is not very difficult to catch poisonous snakes. Even if she can't catch it, she can guarantee that she won't be poisoned. There must be an antidote where the poisonous snake appears, and even if she is bitten by the poisonous snake, she will be fine.

Fearless in her heart, Su Qingni made a very steady move, even if the speed was not very fast, she still killed the poisonous snake with a stone. The poisonous snake is more than one meter long, skinned, chopped into pieces, at least three or four catties in weight, and boiled into snake soup with wild vegetables, which can make a family of three people eat two or three meals.

Su Qingni happily threw the poisonous snake into the basket, stopped looking for wild duck eggs, and hurried back to her home.

When he arrived at home, Su Qingshi began to cook poisonous snakes, peeling off the snake's skin, taking out the internal organs, and chopping off the snake's head. Afraid that someone would touch the poisonous fangs on the snake's head and be poisoned, Su Qingni dug a soil pit and buried the snake's head and internal organs in the pit. Keep the snake gall bladder, and go to the pharmacy in the town to ask later, and see if the pharmacy accepts snake gall bladder.

Cut the snake meat into small pieces and toss into the pot, add salt and start simmering. There are no seasonings at home, only salt, and wine is not to be thought about at all, even green onions and ginger. However, Su Qingni found a kind of wild onion, also called mountain garlic. Its taste is similar to that of green onions, but it will become hard and difficult to eat after a long time. Locals often use mountain garlic to make miso soup.

In addition to mountain garlic, Su Qingni also put another wild vegetable in the snake meat soup: weeping pot grass.

Weeping plants are very reproductive, and can grow in any environment and in any environment, and this wild vegetable is the most abundant in the wasteland. The leaves of weeping pots are full of moisture, have a light taste, and are refreshing and delicious when chewed.

This grass is put in the pot when the snake soup is cooked, so it tastes the best.

At noon, Su Qingling and Su Chengyuan did not go home. Su Qingni drank a small bowl of snake soup and ate half a plate of dandelions—today's dandelions were blanched in boiling water, and a little salt was put in the cold salad, and the taste was much better than yesterday—and Su Qingni took the snake gall to the town.

The town was not particularly far from the village, and Su Qingni walked for an hour and came to the town. The town is under the jurisdiction of the capital and is the only place to go to the capital, so the town is small but very prosperous. The business of the inns and taverns here is very good, and even the business of the women's house with the women's branch is also very good.

Su Qingni came to the pharmacy and asked the guys at the pharmacy.

The guy said that he wanted to collect snake gall, but the price would not be too high.

Su Qingni had already expected it, and she didn't bargain, so she directly sold the snake gall to the pharmacy for five copper coins.

Five copper coins can buy a pound of chestnut rice, Su Qingni went to the grain shop to change the rice, and then walked around the town.

The buildings in the town are low, some of them look very rudimentary, but there are also a few buildings that look tall and are said to be where the town's wealthy lived.

It is said that the town is prosperous, but in Su Qingni's opinion, it cannot be compared with the most remote town in the ancient country of flowers, there are not even many people setting up stalls on the streets, and the number of shops is quite a lot, but there are very few types of things sold in them.
