Volume 2 Qiantang Spring Tide Diagram Chapter 89 Small Days
After settling down his parents and sisters, Wang Xian and Wang Gui returned to Fuyang.
The Hou family has moved to the Hou family's house to live, and the old lady is really clever, the Hou family does not resist this at all, and hires a maid and a mother-in-law to serve her. On this night, Wang Gui was going to live in the new house, and he reluctantly took Wang Xian's hand and said, "Erlang, you two should come and live together......
"There are rules in the yamen, I have to live in the office." Of course, Wang Xian shook his head.
"Alas......" Wang Gui's eyes were red and said: "Yesterday there was a big family, but today it is going to be divided into three petals, it is really uncomfortable......"
"If there is a dispersion, there will be a gathering, the eldest brother relaxes," Wang Xian comforted the eldest brother and said, "I will go over to see you from time to time." The brothers said goodbye at the dock and went their separate ways.
Wang Xian no longer goes back to his old house, and when he went to Hangzhou, he had already arranged for Shuai Hui and Liu Erhei to help Lin Qing'er move the cage to the officer's dormitory.
When he returned to the dormitory, it was already dark, and Wang Xian saw that all the courtyards were lit up, and when he thought that one of them was lit for himself, his heart suddenly warmed and softened......
But when he saw his yard, he was terrified...... I saw a puff of smoke rising into the sky!
Someone actually set it on fire! Frightened, he rushed into the house like an arrow, and saw that the smoke was coming from the kitchen, and when he looked closely, it was Sister Lin who was burning the fire......
Wang Xian couldn't cry or laugh, and quickly pulled Sister Lin, who was coughing, out of the kitchen, and then stared at the smoke of the stove for a while, and finally choked and escaped. He hasn't burned a fire before, so what should he do?
Lin Qing'er's face was full of black ash, and her eyes were choked into peaches, and when she saw that Wang Xian couldn't help it, she was so anxious that she was about to cry......
Fortunately, at this time, a fat aunt in the neighborhood thought that his house was on fire, and came to see what was going on, and when she saw this, she took out most of the firewood in the stove, and then pulled the bellows a few times, and the smoke gradually became smaller......
The fat aunt turned her head and looked at the two of them like an idiot and said, "What are you doing stuffing so much firewood in?" ”
Lin Qing'er was so ashamed that she hid behind Wang Xian, and Wang Xian smiled embarrassedly: "I haven't cooked, and I ...... make a fire for the first time."
The fat aunt didn't believe it: "She's so old, she can't even make a fire?" ”
"I used to eat it at home." Wang Xian scratched his head, and said in his heart, whose wife is this, so two? Hurry up and humbly ask for advice on the correct way to start a fire.
The fat aunt taught him the key to lighting the fire, remembering that he was still sitting in a pot, and told him a few words not to set the house on fire, so he left uneasily.
After sending away the kind-hearted nagging aunt, Wang Xian turned around and saw Lin Qing'er sitting on the threshold of the kitchen with her knees crossed, sobbing quietly.
"Sister, why are you crying?" Wang Xian walked over and sat down side by side with her.
"I'm useless, woo woo......" Lin Qing'er's little face like a fly, two snow-white tears appeared, and she sobbed: "Seeing that the house is all cleaned up, and there are ready-made ingredients, I want to make you a dinner," probably because she felt too embarrassed, she covered her little face with her hands and said: "It turned out that I studied for a long time, but I forgot to learn how to make fire......"
"Isn't that just learning?" Wang Xian smiled helplessly, and could only comfort. "No one is born with ......"
"Hmm." Sister Lin lifted her spirits, wiped her tears with the back of her hand, and said with a big face: "You wait, I'll cook!" ”
"Forget it." Wang Xian hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Tonight's housewarming, let's go to the restaurant to celebrate." ”
"Oh......" When Lin Qing'er heard this, she was immediately relieved. She's not greedy, she's just too scared of cooking. But thinking of the old lady's instructions, he shook his head again and said, "But my mother said that you are not allowed to spend money indiscriminately." ”
"It is only natural that people eat when they are hungry." Wang Xian said with a smile: "Besides, whose house I go to eat is to give him face, who still collects money?" Saying that, he pulled up Sister Lin and said, "Go wash your face, let's go have a big meal." ”
"It's better not to eat for nothing, it's not easy for people to make some money," Lin Qing'er said: "Besides, those who owe affection will be troublesome in the future." ”
"That's what my sister said." Wang Xian said with a smile.
Lin Qing'er didn't say anything anymore, went into the house and washed her face, and when she came out, she had already changed into men's clothes.
Wang Xian looked at this handsome posterior and said with a smile: "It's really unique." ”
Lin Qing'er glanced at him, clenched his fists and said in a rough voice: "Junior brother Lin Qing, please ask for your surname." ”
"Under the surname Ni, the word husband." Wang Xian replied with a smile.
"Just know that Lu Dao takes advantage of others...... Lin Qing'er is not coquettish, since the Song Dynasty, there are husbands and wives between husband and wife, and later the Song Dynasty Nandu, this title also spread to Hangzhou.
"Sooner or later." Wang Xian said hello, held hands with her, locked the courtyard door, and arrived at Yaqian Street in a few steps.
The lights on Yaqian Street are bright, the night market is bustling, of course, it can't be compared with Hangzhou, Lin Qing'er hurriedly pulled out her hand and asked, "Brother Tai, where are we going to eat?" ”
"That's it." Wang Xian took her into a restaurant and said with a smile: "The three fresh hot pots in this house are a must." ”
"How else to say that Wang Guanren is a connoisseur." Seeing that it was Wang Xian, the chubby shopkeeper hurriedly came out from behind the counter, and said with a smile on his face: "When the villain was a cook in Hangzhou, even the adults of Zhentai ate my three fresh warm pots!" He is the elder brother of Zhu Dachang, who bought meat, named Zhu Dayou, who used to work as a cook in the Hangzhou City Hotel, and later saved some money and returned to his hometown to open this restaurant. When he was cooking in the provincial capital, he naturally bragged about it repeatedly.
By the way, Sima Qiu's concubine Ruhua is his and Zhu Dachang's sister-in-law......
"Just blow it." Wang Xian pierced him and said: "I have seen Lord Zhensi on the Yuan Festival, and people say that he has always been a vegetarian. ”
"The villain is talking about the former ...... of the company," Boss Zhu replied with a grin, and the two laughed.
After laughing, Boss Zhu invited Wang Xian to the elegant seat on the second floor, and everyone who did this business had bright eyes and hearts. Naturally, she saw that Lin Qing'er was a woman, so she didn't ask much, and only talked to Wang Xian.
"Outside the hot pot, look at a few side dishes." Wang Xian instructed: "Go next door to sell plum wine." ”
"It's closed next door...... the guy said dumbfounded.
"You won't knock when you close the door! said that the king's officials want to eat and drink, let them watch it! Zhu Dayou kicked the guy downstairs, and smiled at Wang Xian: "I just came, I don't need training." "Then you don't have to be a buddy, you can bring the hot pot yourself.
The warm pot is a hot pot, but it uses a copper pot, with a big belly and thin legs, a shiny lid, and active copper handles at both ends. At the bottom of the pot is bamboo charcoal, a specialty of Fuyang. Bamboo charcoal is smokeless, which can avoid the embarrassment of smoke and fire.
Zhu Dayou lifted the lid of the pot, and there was a layer of chicken, a layer of duck, and a layer of meat, all cut into neat strips, which were placed very cleverly in the staggered stacks, and they were not scattered in the boiling soup. In addition, there are winter bamboo shoots and shiitake mushrooms dotted in the meantime, neutralizing the fat with lightness, which is the essence of Chinese cuisine.
Zhu Dayou served more than a dozen exquisite snacks and snacks, and at this time, the plum wine also arrived, and the two of them drank in the warm pot, no longer worrying about going home late and scolding the old lady who ate too much wine, it was really fun.
Going downstairs with a wine and dinner, Wang Xian smiled at Zhu Dayou and said, "How much." ”
Zhu Dayou refused and said: "What money is not money, officials come to the small shop to eat to give the small shop face." ”
"You still have to give money." Wang Xian took out a stack of treasure money from the boot page, and said with a smile: "One yard is one yard, if you don't collect money, I won't come to eat again." ”
"Look at what you said...... Zhu Dayou had no choice but to reluctantly accept it and send Wang Xian out of the store. But he secretly scolded in his heart, it doesn't matter if you pretend to be honest, I will send it to you tomorrow, and I have to put on a door bag......
Walking away, Lin Qing'er suddenly said: "I thought you were going to eat the overlord meal, but it wasn't the same after the end." ”
"Isn't that my sister's teaching?" Wang Xian smiled and grabbed her little hand and said, "How should I be rewarded?" ”
"Let's make you a hearty breakfast tomorrow," Lin Qing'er said with a smile......
"Uh...... It's great......" Wang Xian felt a stomachache when he thought of Lin Qing'er's dark cuisine. But in order not to dampen her enthusiasm, he felt that he should endure it silently.
Both of them have been busy for a day, but when they go home and want to take a bath, they are dumbfounded, how can they wash without hot water? On weekdays, Wang Xian went to the bathhouse to take a bath, but he didn't feel inconvenienced, but now that the bathhouse is closed, and there is no women's bathhouse, he can only take a bath at home......
After staring at him for a moment, Wang Xian patted his thigh and said, "Boil water!" "There is a water tank in the yard, which is full of Erhei. There were still embers in the stove, and according to the fat aunt's method, add firewood, Lin Qing'er gently pulled the bellows, and sure enough, the fire became more and more prosperous, and the faces of the two of them were red.
The two of them cheered like children.
Let Lin Qing'er look at the fire, Wang Xian went to the West House to find a bath bucket. Although his nest is small, the degree of application at home is the best that can be bought in Fuyang County, and it is brand new. For example, this bath bucket is made of freshly cut and dried pine wood, and there are almost no scars, so Wang Xian brushes it with cold water and places it in the hall. At this time, the water was also boiling, Wang Xian carried a bucket and poured it in, and a smell of pine wood rose.
Carrying another bucket of hot water and a bucket of cold water, he stretched out his hand to test the temperature of the water, and he dragged out his voice and said: "The lady can take a bath......
Lin Qing'er had already found a change of clothes, pushed Wang Xian out of the door with a red face, and then latched the door and said, "Don't peek." ”
Wang Xian was locked outside the house, only to see the light imprint the silhouette of the beauty on the window. She could see every move so clearly as she untied her clothes, but she couldn't see anything. He was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, looking for cracks in the windows everywhere, but unfortunately, in order to please him, the people below spent a lot of money to hire carpenters to reopen the doors and windows, and there was not a trace of cracks.
Wang Xian remembered the scene on TV again, and quickly wet his fingers with saliva and poked them on the window paper. How do you know that there are several layers of thick veils on the windows, and they can't be broken at all...... (To be continued)
