Chapter 200 Hot Spring Eyeballs
Li Qingxiu and Widow Jia were busy until the afternoon. At this time, the land around the valley was also burning with raging fire.
Widow Jia also wanted to take Li Qingxiu to visit, but Li Qingxiu refused. Qingfeng Li is still at home waiting for her to go back and fry the locusts.
"Let's go to my house! I'll prepare delicious food for you tonight."
"Really, what's delicious?" Widow Jia was very happy to see Li Qingxiu getting so close to her.
"You'll know when you get there. Let's go. Xiaofeng is still waiting eagerly at home." As soon as Li Qingxiu finished speaking, she pulled Widow Jia towards her home.
Widow Jia has been to Li Qingxiu's new home several times. Whenever she comes here, she feels extremely envious.
It would be nice if she had such a solid and grand stone house, but it's a pity that she is alone, and it would be lonely to live alone in such a big house.
Li Xingxing didn't notice the strange look in Widow Jia's eyes. She enthusiastically welcomed Widow Jia in, and then shouted: "Xiao Feng, I'm back."
Qingfeng Li, who was staring at Li Qingxiao with big eyes, suddenly heard that Li Qingxiu was back and immediately ran out to greet him happily.
"Sister, you are finally back. How did you catch the locusts? Hello Aunt Jia!"
What Li Qingfeng said never doubted that Li Qingxiu would fail. Now Li Qingxiu was the omnipotent sister in his heart.
Widow Jia smiled and said: "Hey, I've been here several times, so there's no need to be so polite. Today, your sister said she wanted to cook you a delicious meal, so I came here shamelessly."
Li Qingxiu welcomed Widow Jia into the main room and poured him a cup of chrysanthemum tea. "Auntie, I don't like hearing what you are saying. What are you so shameless about? It's obviously me who invited you to come and try my handicrafts."
"Yes, yes," Widow Jia smiled with her eyebrows crooked. She took a sip of chrysanthemum tea and sighed: "The taste of this chrysanthemum tea is so refreshing. It's a pity that such a good tea doesn't have the opportunity to sell."
"Who said it wasn't?" Li Qingxiu was also a little helpless. Li Zheng sent someone to inquire about Xinzhou. He heard that it had been conquered and occupied by King Zhao, and that there were many heavy troops guarding the city gate.
I also heard that King Zhao had the magistrate killed because the magistrate failed to protect his son, causing his eldest son to die in Xinzhou.
After learning that Xinzhou was occupied by King Zhao, Rimasa and the others naturally would not go to Xinzhou, so they spent most of the past half month building their home in the Lihua Valley.
"Auntie, sit here for a while. I'm going to cook."
When Widow Jia heard this, she immediately stood up and said, "I'll help you."
Li Qingxiu smiled and said: "No, I can do it by myself. If Auntie is bored, you can go play with Xiaoxiao. The little guy has been very active recently."
Widow Jia has also reached the age of motherhood. She is in her twenties. Her husband died early, leaving her without even a child. At her current age, seeing a cute little baby is naturally overflowing with maternal love.
"Okay, I'll go see Xiaoxiao. Don't tell me, I miss you even after I haven't seen her for a few days." After saying this, Widow Jia took Qingfeng Li's little hand and went to the bedroom together.
Li Qingxiu took a wooden basin and filled some water, carried the water to the kitchen, put one hand in the water and took out some locusts from the storage compartment.
After the locusts were soaked in water, they could only flutter on the water surface and could not fly away. After Li Qingxiu washed them a few times, he heated up the oil in a pot, then drained the locusts and threw them in to fry.
When the water splashed into the oil, it immediately made a crackling sound. Li Qingxiu used the wooden pot lid to block it, which would be painful if the oil splashed.
The locusts were fried quickly, and Li Jinxiu took a few more eggs. These eggs were laid by a wild hen and a hen obtained from a previous mission.
After mixing the eggs, Li Qingxiu cut some chopped green onion, added some locusts, and fried a few golden green onion and locust egg pancakes.
Finally, I fried some shredded white radish. Then he took a small bowl of white rice from the storage compartment. Dinner tonight will be just fine.
Li Qingxiu laid out the food in the main room, and Widow Jia and Li Qingfeng also came out at this time.
Widow Jia couldn't help but admire the fragrance in the air: "It smells so good! Qingxiu, what are you cooking? This is too delicious!"
Li Qingxiu pointed to the table and said: "There are not many good dishes, just ordinary home-cooked dishes. This is fried locusts. This is green onion locust egg pancake and stir-fried shredded white radish."
Widow Jia was surprised: "Didn't your locusts get wiped out by that one? Why are there still locusts?"
"Oh, that's because I caught him before and you just didn't see it. Okay. Stop looking at it and sit down and eat." After finishing speaking, Li Qingxiu gave them food.
Widow Jia took a bite of fried locusts. "Well, my pretty niece, you can open a restaurant with your skills. The locusts fried in lard are also very fragrant, and they go well with rice."
After the widow finished speaking, she tasted another bite of shredded white radish, and then took a few mouthfuls of white rice.
Just as she was about to pick up the food, she saw Li Qingxiu and Li Qingfeng looking at her. She took her chopsticks back when she thought of something, and said a little embarrassedly: "Um, it's been so long since I've had such a delicious meal, and I couldn't control myself for a moment. .”
Qingfeng Li straightened his chest proudly when he heard this. "My sister makes the best food."
Li Qingxiu put a large piece of egg cake into Widow Jia's bowl. "It's nothing. I think you thought you weren't used to it. I felt relieved when you ate it so deliciously. Try this egg pancake. It's also delicious."
……
After dinner, Widow Jia insisted on helping Li Qingxiu wash the dishes before leaving. No matter how hard she tried to persuade her, Li Qingxiu simply let her go.
Wait until Widow Jia leaves. Li Qingxiu went back to the bedroom. Seeing that Li Qingfeng and Li Qingxiao were already asleep, Li Qingxiu got some water to water the magical plant.
It's strange to say that this magical plant has already passed its flowering period and is bearing fruit, so why doesn't it show what kind of surprise it is now?
Li Qingxiu gently touched the fruit that looked a bit like an apple and murmured to herself: "Magical fruit, when will you tell me what kind of surprise you gave me?"
Li Qingxiu couldn't help but touch it again, and suddenly the apple-like fruit fell down. Li Qingxiu, who had quick eyes and quick hands, immediately caught it with both hands, so that the fruit did not fall to the ground.
Li Qingxiu was extremely panicked: What a disaster! Could it have been damaged by her? Will this fruit still surprise her?
She was about to hold it in front of her eyes to look at it carefully, when suddenly there was a crisp sound. The fruit in my hand cracked in half, but there was a round white bead in the middle of the fruit.
The most amazing thing is that the surface of this round bead also emits a layer of silvery white light. But at this time, the magical plant withered instantly!
【drop! Congratulations to the host for getting: a hot spring eyeball! 】
Hot spring eyes? ! Li Qingxiu couldn't help but rub her eyes. She was afraid that she had seen it wrong. How could there be such a magical thing?
Li Qingxiu clicks on the use and instructions of hot spring eyeballs.
[The hot spring eyeballs are a magical variety derived from magical seeds. The temperature of the water flowing out of the spring is between 50 and 60 degrees, and its water quality also contains a variety of minerals. 】
[Usage: Soak the hot spring eyeballs in hot water for half an hour, choose a good place to dig a small pit of three meters, and then bury the hot spring eyeballs in the pit. Just wait for a while, and the hot spring water will come out. 】
[Note: Although soaking in hot springs is good for physical and mental health, soaking in hot springs for a long time can be counterproductive, so the host should control the soaking time by himself. 】
Li Qingxiu couldn't help but click her tongue after reading it. Although this thing is very magical, it also has a lot of troubles. It seems that we have to wait until later before we can take action. After all, hot spring beads are a bit too shocking for the world.
Now I just don’t know where to bury this hot spring bead. Li Qingxiu closed her eyes and went through the entire valley's landscape in her mind.
In the end, she chose to bury the hot spring beads near her own twenty acres of land. The reason why Li Qingxiu chose to be in the field was because she thought that with this hot spring in the winter, the nearby fields would be warmer and the food she planted would not fail to grow.
Taking advantage of this time, Li Qingxiu cleaned the house inside and out, and waited until it was almost time to arrive at Yinshi.
Li Qingxiu filled a bowl with some hot water, put the hot spring beads in it to soak, and then left the house carrying the hoe and the bowl.
At this time, she did not hold a torch, but slowly walked toward the fields under the bright moonlight. Fortunately, no household had a dog yet.
Otherwise, this incident would have caused a lot of barking, and Li Qingxiu would have thought of the big insect cubs she had raised at home.
The big bug cub now looks like a puppy cub a few months old. It has also been weaned and is starting to eat rice and bones.
Because he had been raised since he was a child, the people in the valley were not afraid of him. Now, when Qingfeng Li was not paying attention, the little cub would often sneak out and chase and play with a bunch of other kids, and would consciously run back when it was time for dinner.
Li Qingxiu soon arrived at her field. She glanced around and decided to bury the hot spring beads near the foot of the mountain, where there happened to be a large empty space.
At that time, we can also build several different pools around the spring in this open space, so that everyone can wash vegetables, wash clothes, and soak in hot springs.
As soon as she thought of it, Li Qingxiu rolled up her sleeves and started digging with a hoe. She didn't know how long she dug. She stopped when she was almost two people as high as she was.
After climbing up, he found a pile of small stones nearby and threw them under the ground. Then he jumped down again, took out the spring eye beads, buried them under the ground and spread a layer of stones.
After Li Qingxiu took out the fire folder and opened it, after waiting for a while, he saw water slowly flowing out from the cracks in the stone. Li Qingxiu touched the water between the rocks with her fingers and a smile appeared on her face. It was indeed hot water.
After seeing that the matter was completed, Li Qingxiu borrowed a hoe and crawled back to the ground. At this time, the sky has revealed a trace of fish belly white.
Li Qingxiu yawned and stretched, then summoned the light screen and clicked to sign in.
【drop! Sign in successfully today, congratulations to the host for getting two crayfish. 】
Two crayfish? ! This dog system is really stingy. It finally gave her two crayfish, which was not enough to fill her teeth.
Li Qingxiu took out the two crayfish and saw that the two crayfish were still alive and kicking.
She narrowed her eyes and said to the two crayfish: "You two have to work hard and give birth to more babies as soon as possible. From now on, I can rely on you for my garlic crayfish and spicy crayfish."
As soon as Li Qingxiu finished speaking, he took the two crayfish to the No. 2 lotus pond and threw them in. Finally, he clapped his hands and walked towards his house.
Staying up late was harmful to her body, so she had to go back and catch up on her sleep.
Li Qingxiu was woken up by a knock on the door. She felt that someone was calling her just after she narrowed her eyes for a while.
Li Qingxiu said impatiently: "Who is it? Early in the morning."
"It's me! Oh, that's terrible, Qingxiu, come out quickly and see if something big happened to your field."
Li Qingxiu could tell that it was Widow Jia's voice, and she also knew that it was probably related to the hot spring, so she put on her shoes slowly and opened the door for Widow Jia.
"Auntie, what's going on?" Li Qingxiu asked, yawning.
"Oh, you haven't woken up yet. I thought you were awake. No, that's not the point. I'm telling you, you don't know. There is a hot spring next to your field! Satsuma asked me to take you to hurry up. Come over and have a look!" Widow Jia said with excitement.
How could she not know that she buried the hot spring bead with her own hands!
Li Qingxiu said calmly: "Auntie, I know this. I dug the hole."
"What?! You dug it?! I was with you yesterday, how could I not know?" Widow Jia said in great surprise.
"I couldn't sleep last night, so I went to see how the fields were doing, and then I found an open space at the foot of the mountain near the fields. Hot water kept coming out of the open space. I thought it might be a hot spring, so I went I dug a puddle with a hoe. When I saw more and more water, I came back feeling tired. Auntie, I'm quite sleepy. Please tell Uncle Li Zheng."
After Li Qingxiu finished speaking, she yawned again and was about to turn around and go back to the house when she was stopped by Widow Jia again.
"Hey! Wait, it's not too late to settle the matter first before you go to sleep. I said it's useless. You'd better make it clear to Li Zheng and everyone else. Otherwise, what if this hot spring is confiscated? You are the one crying."
Li Qingxiu's eyes flashed. Widow Jia's words made sense, so she said, "Okay, let's go and settle the hot spring issue first."
When the two came to the field, Li Qingxiu saw that many people had gathered around the hot spring. As she approached, she heard everyone discussing excitedly.
"Our place is really a treasure. Not only is it protected by a mountain god, it also has hot spring water."
"Hey, Rizheng, I heard that hot springs can strengthen the body and relieve pain. Is it true?"
"I didn't know, I've never soaked in hot spring water." After Li Zheng finished speaking, he asked, "Huh? Isn't the pretty girl here yet?"
Widow Jia immediately said: "Come on, come on, we are here, everyone, give way."
Everyone quickly made way for Li Qingxiu, and Li Qingxiu slowly walked into the hot spring pool under everyone's attention.
At this time, the hot spring pool was full of water, and water continued to overflow and flow to various places.
Before Li Qingxiu opened her mouth, Widow Jia spoke up for her.
"Everyone, the pretty girl discovered this hot spring first. She came to check the land for insecticide last night and found that hot water could come out from here, so she dug this big hole in the middle of the night."
