Chapter 343: When in town, do as the Romans do
When Lu Xunhuan entered Beiman, he didn't know where to find things like the divine bones and the golden hoop.
Since we are in the Baijiang tribe, let’s stay there for a while and see if these things may exist in these tribes.
When Ye Cao brought her into their tent, her mother and two sisters were surprised and cheered.
It can be seen that men in the Baijiang tribe are extremely scarce, and are simply a scarce commodity.
Picking up a man is as exciting as picking up ten thousand taels of gold in the south.
After everyone cheered for a while, they came over one by one and hugged him.
The mother said excitedly: "The weeds have grown up a long time ago, but they have never found a man. Other people's rare treasures were unwilling to lend them to us. Now it's all right, Queen bless you."
After talking to Lu Xunhuan, she turned around and said, "Kids, make something delicious."
While they were cooking, Lu Xunhuan was watching from the side.
The so-called delicious food was half a frozen fish, a mountain rabbit leg, a few wild bird eggs, and a little khaki flour, I don’t know if it was wheat, buckwheat, or even oats.
Apart from that, there is nothing else to take out.
It can be seen how difficult the life of the northern barbarians is, especially in winter.
No wonder they always go to the south to plunder, the south is rich and has abundant resources.
Lu Xunhuan felt very sorry.
We ate up all the collection in this meal. What should we eat tomorrow morning?
After dinner was ready, the whole family put everything in front of him and looked at him eagerly.
The mother gestured repeatedly: "Eat."
Lu Xunhuan sighed inwardly, took the wild bird eggs, and gave one to each person.
It’s really suitable, just one for each person.
Then he tore off the mountain rabbit leg meat and gave each person a little.
Then he divided the fish among everyone, stirred the yellowish flour paste, and shared it with everyone.
Anyway, in the end everyone ate equally, but no one was actually full.
After dinner, Lu Xunhuan said, "I'll help you go hunting tomorrow."
The wild grass said, "It's icy and snowy here. Where can you go hunting? There's nothing around here. You have to run a long way. The mountains are high and the roads are slippery. It's very dangerous."
Lu Xunhuan asked, "So what do you guys do on a daily basis?"
Wild Grass said, "Those with many livestock at home can kill them to survive the winter, while those with few can only go fishing."
Lu Xun Huan thought for a moment and said, "Can't we use the internet?"
Wild Grass said, "We have a net, but how can we cast it when the ice is so thick?"
Lu Xunhuan touched his chin and said, "Let me think about how Chagan Lake fishes in winter."
He talked to the weeds for a while while his mother boiled some hot water and filled a large bucket.
"Wild grass, you and your uncle come and wash quickly."
Ye Cao stood up and pulled Lu Xunhuan: "Let's take a shower."
Lu Xunhuan felt quite embarrassed. How could he wash it in front of everyone?
Seeing that he didn't move, the weeds pulled him again and said, "Come here, why are you still shy, like a southerner?"
Lu Xunhuan got up quickly, he couldn't let them recognize that he was from the south.
Mother, sitting in the distance, nodded.
The meaning is probably that this son-in-law is in good health and strong enough.
After taking a bath, the mother turned off the lights and it was time for the family to go to bed.
Ye Cao hugged Lu Xunhuan in the bed and whispered, "Do you think I can give birth to a son?"
Lu Xun Huan nodded: "Good luck, I will."
Wild Grass turned over and lay on top of him: "I don't even know your name yet?"
Lu Xunhuan said, "My mother named me Jixiang."
Wild Grass said happily, "What a good name! When I give birth to a son, I will name him Ruyi."
She couldn't wait any longer: "My good fortune, please give me what I want."
……
The next morning, my mother fiddled with it and made half a bowl of khaki powder, which she made into a paste and we all ate together.
At this point, the family was completely out of food.
The mother said to Wild Grass, "Wild Grass, you must catch fish today no matter what."
Wild Grass responded and sweetly pulled Lu Xunhuan along: "Jixiang, let's go get some fish."
Lu Xunhuan followed her, opened the tent curtain, and walked into the cold ice and snow.
The cold wind was biting, and he couldn't help shivering as he had just walked out of the warm tent.
The two were about to go to the river to catch fish when an old lady appeared, carrying half a sheep on her back.
"Weed, wait a minute."
Ye Cao looked at the half sheep on the old lady's back, swallowed his saliva, and waited there.
She probably understood why the old lady came with the mutton.
The old lady came up to the two of them, looked at Lu Xunhuan several times, and said with a smile: "Go back first, and discuss something."
Ye Cao nodded and opened the curtain: "Jixiang, come back and sit for a while."
The old lady came into the house carrying half a sheep on her back and asked her mother, "Emma, is there no food at home?"
Of course, mother Emma also knew the other party's intention.
She looked at Lu Xunhuan, then at the mutton, and said to the lady, "Please sit down."
The old lady put the mutton down and said, "Emma, you know, there are no men in my family. I killed the sheep overnight. My son-in-law's name is Jixiang. Can I borrow it for three nights?"
Lu Xunhuan had already anticipated what the old lady was going to say, but when he heard her explain her purpose, he couldn't help but feel upset.
However, in the Northern Barbarians, in the Baijiang tribe, men are in short supply, so this kind of thing does not seem strange.
Emma looked at Lu Xunhuan again: "Jixiang, is it okay?"
Lu Xunhuan originally wanted to refuse.
But he saw everyone's eyes longing for mutton.
Especially the two little sisters, they kept swallowing their saliva and their eyes turned green as they stared at the mutton.
The porridge everyone had in the morning was already not enough to fill their stomachs, and he only ate a few mouthfuls, which was like nothing at all.
Forget it, forget it. Since we are here, let’s do as the locals do and let the Ye Cao family eat the delicious mutton quickly.
He nodded and said, "Just arrange it."
A smile appeared on Emma's face, and a smile appeared on everyone's face, even the weeds' face.
She pulled Lu Xunhuan up again: "I'll take him fishing first, and then I'll go over in the evening."
The old lady was so happy that her face was wrinkled with laughter. "Okay, okay, I'll pick him up before dinner and we'll have dinner at my house tonight. Emma, is that okay?"
Emma nodded: "No problem."
Ye Cao pulled Lu Xunhuan and said, "Come on, Jixiang, let's go catch some fish."
The two of them opened the curtain and were in the snow again.
Lu Xunhuan looked at the fishing line in Emma's hand, turned around, and saw a fishing net on a pile of cow dung.
He walked over and took down the fishing net: "Wild grass, let's try to lower the net."
The weeds asked blankly, "Do you want to break the ice off the river?"
Lu Xun Huan shook his head: "No, just make the hole bigger. Let's try it first."
In his previous life, when everyone went fishing in winter, he remembered how to drill holes, move the rod, and collect the net.
But he didn't know the specific details, so he could only try.
Even if it doesn't succeed, with such a big river and countless fish under the water, can't you think of a way to catch a few for everyone?
When the two of them reached the river, he took the knife from Ye Cao's hand and helped her make a hole in the river so that she could fish.
Then he dragged the net to the center of the river to make a bigger hole.
He was busy in the middle of the river and didn't notice that many women were coming behind him.
Everyone gathered around the weeds and watched the man busy in the middle of the river.
A woman enviously said, "Wild grass, the man you picked up is quite strong. Five pounds of fried noodles, is that okay?"
Another woman next to him said, "You really are the one who wants to exchange five pounds of fried noodles?"
The woman said, "My family... doesn't have much food, but we really need a man..."
Another woman said, "Wild grass, a sheep, and five days at my house, is that okay?"
The weeds tugged at the fishing line and said, "I've lent it all to you. What should I do? I have to plant it first."
Amid the whistling wind, Lu Xunhuan heard a woman's voice.
He turned his head and found that there were at least a hundred women surrounding Ye Cao.
He quickly turned back.
Dong, are there three thousand beauties in the harem?
