Chapter 218: Making Bellows for Your Lover
From a distance, He Qianqian and his wife saw a tall figure standing on the roof of the second floor of Yingxin Building, sometimes looking up, and sometimes turning around anxiously.
If it’s not He Sen, then who else could it be?
Obviously He Sen also saw them at the same time. He jumped from a high place and landed next to them.
Ming Gongyao greeted happily: "Third brother, Qianqian and I have formed a bond."
"Well, that's good. I feel relieved then."
Seeing them holding hands and going ashore together, He Sen said:
"It looks like you two are doing well, sister. Are you hungry?"
"I'm not hungry. Third brother, why are you here?"
"Me? I'm standing on a high place watching birds. By the way, there are so many more birds on the lake today. They are quite pretty."
He Sen seemed a little embarrassed, but he didn't want to admit that he was worried that something might have happened to his youngest sister.
It is said that the way mermaids form couples is very strange.
Male cats can either dig a cave or find a hole in a tree to form a mate, or they can mate in the cave allocated by the tribe.
But mermaids insist on choosing to mate underwater.
He Sen finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw He Qianqian safely reach the shore.
If the two of them don't come up, he will use the conch to shake them.
He Qianqian looked at the flamingo in the distance again and said:
"Yingxin Lake is full of spiritual energy. Birds are smart. If the climate is suitable and the food is abundant, they will choose to stay here. Maybe they will build nests and hatch eggs here in the warm season."
"That's great, then we can pick up a lot of bird eggs. We almost ate all of them last year," said He Sen.
He Qianqian said disdainfully: "...Brother, the flamingo and the white swan are so cute, why do you always want to eat them?"
He Sen was stunned: “Because scrambled eggs are delicious.
If we don't pick up the bird eggs, so many extra birds will eat up all the fish in the lake.
Little sister, there are several big lakes near the Golden Cat Tribe, and there are also many big birds.
Knowing that you like scrambled eggs, I will pick up more for you."
He Qianqian frowned. She taught the orcs in the tribe how to make steamed eggs and scrambled eggs, and it must have spread.
If everyone goes to pick up bird eggs, wouldn't that be a disaster for the birds?
Thinking all the way, when they were almost at the door of their house, He Qianqian said:
"Third brother, I will ask Qingyu to catch pheasants, wild ducks and wild geese. Cut off the feathers of these birds so that they cannot fly away and can be domesticated.
Birds eat grass, small fish and shrimp, and even grain bran or wheat grains.
If you want to eat eggs, it’s better to raise your own poultry to lay eggs.
If you all go to steal bird eggs, the birds around you won’t be able to raise chicks during the warm season.”
"Can birds become extinct? Don't worry, there are so many bird eggs, it's impossible to pick them all up." He Sen didn't care.
The forest is so big, how many bird eggs can these tribes collect?
But what He Qianqian said about domesticating birds seems to be similar to domesticating goats, and it sounds very tempting.
Once you have your own domesticated birds, it will be very convenient to eat bird meat or collect eggs.
He Sen said, "I also have people catch pheasants, wild ducks and wild geese and bring them back to tame them."
He took another look at his sister and Ming Gongyao. The male was tall and handsome, while the female was pretty and charming. They were a loving pair of beast lovers.
Really happy for them.
"Little sister, my brother will be back this afternoon. When will you return to the tribe?"
"Let's talk about it after the snowy owl is born. I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it if I go back with such a big belly."
"Ah."
At this moment, a fat black and white cub suddenly rushed out of the house.
"Mom, my baby misses you."
An An didn't say anything and used all four paws to hold He Qianqian's calves tightly. He squatted with his round buttocks and sat right on He Qianqian's feet, holding on steadily and tightly.
He Qianqian moved forward, and An An still didn't let go, but sat on her feet and was led forward. He Qianqian suddenly had an idea, and when she had free time, she made a merry-go-round for the kids to play with.
Seeing the naughty and cute An An, He Qianqian felt warm in her heart and bent down to pick him up: "An An, have you eaten? Are you hungry?"
"Hungry, Neine!" An An smacked his lips, held He Qianqian's face with his paws, and licked her nose.
He Qianqian came up to him, kissed him, and smelled his scent.
You can tell by the smell. Even though he had just eaten steamed buns, steamed buns, porridge, goat milk and bamboo shoots, he was still yelling that he was hungry and wanted to drink milk.
It's funny: whenever you ask An An if he's hungry, he will most likely say he's hungry.
I rarely feel hungry.
Qingyu, who had chased out of the house, said helplessly:
"He eats the most. He has gained weight in the past few days. It's all because of his two uncles."
"Not fat, Daddy. An An wants to eat bamboo shoots." An An's speech became more and more fluent.
Xiao Bo, who followed out after hearing the noise, took out a bamboo shoot as big as a Gatling cannon.
"Here you go. If you have the guts, eat it all up. You are not allowed to complain of hunger again today."
When he saw the big bamboo shoot, An An's dark circles of eyes lit up. He immediately let go of He Qianqian's legs and hugged the big bamboo shoot which was several times bigger than him.
Uncle Xiao carried him to a wooden platform near the window and let An An sit down and eat by himself.
But the bamboo shoots were too big, and An An couldn't figure out where to start eating them after thinking for a while, and she didn't know how to peel them.
Finally, he lost his patience, waved his bear paw in disdain, and the big bamboo shoot was thrown to the ground with a bang.
Uncle Xiao handed An An another small bamboo shoot. He picked up a big bamboo shoot from the ground and demonstrated to An An how to peel it and how to eat it.
One teaches seriously, the other learns seriously, a big one and a small one, black and white, they are really loving.
He Qianqian leaned against the door frame and watched them eat bamboo shoots for a long time.
An An peels bamboo shoots in a naive manner, while Xiao Bo peels and eats them and they taste delicious.
It’s like watching a food show, which makes people hungrier and hungrier and whets their appetite.
Suddenly I thought that bamboo shoots are the most delicious food.
In fact, raw bamboo shoots are bitter and astringent, but only giant pandas don’t dislike them.
He Qianqian shook her head, quickly sat down at the dining table and ate some rice.
After eating, she said to Qingyu, "I want to make a bellows. Ayu, you are the best at carpentry, can you help me?"
Qingyu thought without hesitation: "Okay, what is it for?"
"Blowing air into the stove helps combustion. With a bellows, the fire won't go out easily when cooking."
When Qingyu heard this, he curled his lips and quickly understood. He glanced at Minggong Yao again:
"Qianqian made this for Minggongyao, right? He's the only one in our family who has trouble cooking."
Such straightforward words made Ming Gong Yao embarrassed, and she secretly resolved to learn how to cook well.
The more Qingyu thought about it, the more sad he felt:
"You didn't even ask me if I slept well last night? As soon as I got home, I started to make bellows for your lover."
He Qianqian: ... (This jealous person! What is a lover? Who did you learn this word from?)
"Did you sleep well? You were sleeping soundly when I left. You fell asleep before you had even taken a few bites of your meal."
Qingyu put his arm around her shoulders and said without letting her refuse: "Qianqian, I want to go to the bottom of the lake tonight, too."
He Qianqian glanced at Ming Gongyao, and it seemed that the mermaid had no objection.
Thinking of the beautiful coral reefs in the lake, He Qianqian said:
"Then you can go with me. But the bellows must be made today, otherwise I won't take you with me."
"How difficult is that? Just draw the blueprint."
Qingyu has already taken out various woodworking tools.
After breakfast, He Qianqian finished drawing the blueprint.
He Qianqian, Qingyu and Minggongyao got together to study and make bellows.
As for Xiaobin and Xiaobai, they flew away early in the morning.
They said they were going together to look for various types of clay in order to find out which one was suitable for making ceramic vessels.
Lingye, Azhu and five other people went to the fields to inspect the winter wheat.
Not far from He Qianqian, Jianze was concentrating on studying alchemy and the craft of jewelry inlay.
Li Yan was in the kitchen, preparing lunch for the family, and from time to time he would glance at He Qianqian through the window.
The giant panda brothers were brewing wine in a shack outside the house.
They would occasionally stick their heads out to take a look at He Qianqian not far away.
There were also cubs playing on the wooden floor nearby, and sometimes their eyes followed their mother.
As long as they don't go out, everyone seems to like staying around He Qianqian.
With her around, my heart is at peace. With her around, it feels like home.
