11. Purple ginseng
However, thinking that this cost is not his own, it is nothing more than spending some wages to go out, so he decided to do this business, and it is common for Sister Feng to look down on it, he doesn't care.
Sister Feng walked in front of her, her waist twisted and twisted, but Xue Pan's eyes were hot, and at this time Yang Zhi turned around and came back, "Brother Huan'er has been sent back to Aunt Zhao's courtyard." ”
"What did you say?" Sister Feng said with a smile, "Aunt Zhao's temperament, if you say more, I'm afraid you will have to smack Huan'er's face." ”
Yang Zhi smiled, "That's why I didn't say a word." ”
Sister Feng and Xue Pan went to Jia's mother's courtyard together, Jia's mother was gossiping dominoes with a few old grandmothers, and the mandarin duck was standing on the side with a colorful bell to show Jia's mother, Sister Feng smiled, "Ancestor, the Xue family brother has come to give you a resignation, saying that the two classes are going to Shuzhong!" ”
When Jia Mu heard this, she said, "You want to go to Shuzhong?" It's going to be a few days there. ”
"Yes," Xue Pan asked, "I don't know when I will return to the specific date, I will leave Beijing on February 19, and I will always have to talk to the old lady when I want to go out of Beijing." ”
Jia Mu smiled: "My son, it's hard for you to be so polite," she said to the grandmothers, "It's not my grandson, it's still so polite, I went out of Beijing to Baba to tell me, I don't say anything else, in terms of etiquette, my jade is not as good as him." ”
The old lady and the others all laughed and said, "It's all the old lady who is kind, otherwise the Xue family brother would not be so polite." ”
"Old lady, don't say good about me, I came here, but I didn't come for nothing," Xue Pan knew that this old man liked to be close to people, and liked to listen to jokes, "I'm here temporarily, I'm going out of Beijing, the family's affairs, my mother and sister, I have to ask the old lady to take care of it too much, if I don't take care of it, won't I come in vain today?" ”
Everyone laughed, and Sister Feng pretended to pat Xue Pan, "Did the ancestor see it?" Everybody says I'm sharp-tongued, but now there's someone who can speak better than me, and if you see it, everyone has come to assign the old lady to her errands. ”
Mother Jia also laughed, the corners of her eyes were full of wrinkles, it can be seen that she is indeed very happy in her heart, "My son, I will not take care of your wife, if she doesn't dislike it, it's good to move over and live with me, not to mention your sister, just come and live with Lin Yatou, you just leave it to me, I am the best at managing people, keep you back to Beijing, aunt and Bao Yatou are doing well." ”
Everyone laughed, "It's still the old lady who is the best at regulating people." ”
Sister Feng smiled: "Ouch, cousin heard it?" It's not easy to get along, our old lady's blessing, but the best, you just hand it over to our old lady, don't say anything money, it's vulgar to say that money, my cousin first moved the gold and silver mountains in the silver treasury to honor the old lady, temporarily cramming, but also burning incense, isn't it? Could it be that the ancestors had to work on errands with empty white teeth? ”
Jia Mu smiled: "Monkey, monkey!" It's just that you are the most mercenary, opening your mouth and closing your mouth to money! ”
"It doesn't matter, as the saying goes, money makes the devil grind. Our ancestors are blessed with a long life, and naturally this silver cannot be missing! ”
Everyone laughed, and Xue Pan also smiled, "The old lady's words, naturally I want to listen, so I asked Sister Feng to write the bill in the same way, and I will pay it immediately!" ”
As soon as Sister Feng came, she laughed with Mother Jia like this, Mother Jia, who was originally a little indifferent, was very happy, she dropped the domino and grabbed Sister Feng's hand, "You don't feel sorry for your cousin!" ”
"There, I'm married into the Jia family, but my mother's relatives are going to be put on the head of the old lady, how about it, I also want to help the old lady earn some private money for herself, right?"
"It's still our second grandmother who knows how to honor our ancestors best," an old grandmother in a gray brocade robe said with a smile, "No one else has such filial piety." ”
Jia Mu smiled, "What kind of filial piety is nothing more than relying on me to love her and make fun of me." ”
"Don't you dare, the ancestor is blessed and long-lived, if you can make me joke once, the big guy will laugh, and the ancestor will eat an extra bowl of porridge, then I will be careful."
Xue Pan said with a smile, "Sister Feng said it very well," he waved his hand and asked Yang Zhi to take a brocade box up, "This New Year's is bothering in the house, bothering the old ancestors, originally thinking about going out of the New Year, how much to invite the old lady to appreciate the face, to eat wine and listen to the play in Lixiangyuan, this is ready, but I have to go far away, but this intention can not be expressed, this is the purple ginseng that came in from outside the gate, the year is OK, the wife has used it a few times, I think it is good, let me take it, give the old lady a taste, this purple ginseng is mild, and not hot, It is excellent to stew and eat it with black chicken every day. ”
Jia Mu smiled, "This is not a festival, why do you want to send something over, if you really take your things, the old woman will only have to accept this errand." The mandarin duck took the brocade box from Yang Zhi's hand, dedicated it to Jia's mother, opened it, and saw that there were a few white and purple ginseng under the red velvet, this purple ginseng was also helped by a dark green ribbon, and the hair roots were complete, looking at the year was at least a few decades, these purple ginseng were really a very heavy gift, "This thing is good," Jia's mother ordered Amber to come over with gold wire glasses and looked at it carefully, "I remember that when the old lady was there, General Li Chenghu outside the gate only gave one or two of them when he went to Beijing to report on his work, It's been a rarity in recent years. ”
"This can't be accepted," Jia Mu put down her gold-wire glasses and smiled at Xue Pan, "It's useless, this thing is too valuable." ”
Xue Pan said, "The old lady laughed, how many good things the old lady has seen, where do you still say that this is precious, this purple ginseng looks stout, but the year is only ten years, the year is shallow, the medicinal effect is not too high, it can only be used to stew soup to eat, if it is used in medicine, it is still a little worse." ”
Sister Feng hurriedly grabbed the mandarin duck, "Such a good thing, can not be pushed out, the last time at the feast of the old lady of Zhenguo's birthday, I remember it clearly, there is a bowl of purple ginseng snow chicken soup, fresh me, eyebrows are going to fall, this home has been thinking for many days, at that time when I was still pregnant with my sister, I didn't think about food all day long, but I didn't have it at home, I thought about it for a while, and I met such a good purple ginseng today, don't let it go, the old lady is well-informed, I can't spare this good thing," Sister Feng asked the mandarin duck to put it away, and asked the kitchen if there was any good thing to match this purple ginseng today, and the parrot came to report, "There are pheasant cubs in the village." ”
