190. Lotus
Because of the acquaintance with Chiba, the errand of sending ice, Shi Ju occasionally did not get together, that is, the light bamboo Shi Gui took turns to send, because the Midyear Festival was coming, Shi Ju embroidered the embroidery image of the mother who saved his mother, and he couldn't get rid of his hand every day, so Shi Gui replaced it.
They came and went under the shade of greenery, and they were still hot and sweaty after walking twice, and then they turned around to come back, when a muffled thunder exploded overhead, followed by raindrops.
Shi Gui's trousers were wet for most of the time, he came back with an umbrella, and when he entered the door, he twisted the corners of his trousers, shook a step of rainwater, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that the two light bamboo and Shi Ju were waiting for her to eat, and there was a bowl of boiled white meat with sauce and a freshly fried clams on the table.
"Why is there meat today?" There is no meat in the Mandarin Duck Pavilion, there is little meat to eat, and it is also minced meat, I have never eaten such a big meat, Shi Gui Yiqi, Danzhu saw that she was back, stretched out her chopsticks and quickly grabbed a piece of meat, stuffed it into her mouth and chewed it.
"If you don't hurry up and eat more, you won't be able to touch meat for the next month. "The light bamboo clamped another piece, buried in the stone cinnamon bowl, the day is getting hotter and hotter day by day, it is clear that a rain will fall every two days, it is still getting drier and drier, there is no cool breeze at all, it is so hot that people can't survive inside and outside the house, and the water in the pond in the courtyard seems to have been dried out of a layer.
Shi Gui is most afraid of heat, it turned out that when she was in Lanxi Village, she couldn't wait to get into the mountains at this time, there was no mountain to drill in Jinling, and she was so hot that she was lazy and unwilling to move, but she couldn't be all bad, compared with Lanxi, Jinling City was a stove.
There was ice in Ye's house, one pot in the morning and one pot in the afternoon, Shi Gui put the sour plum soup and mung bean soup in the pot and buried the pot in the ice.
She first wanted to take a small piece and put it in the soup to drink a sour plum soup, but these ice were not in the mouth and could not be eaten, so she had to come up with such a method. โ
She didn't pursue it, the girls in the house painted gourds one by one, filled them with mung bean water and rose dew, and Fanxing also took a thin bottle out, poured it in and put it in the ice, which was more convenient than a teapot, and the girls took turns to drink, except for Shi Ju who couldn't touch cold food, and she would vent her stomach when she drank it, her hands and feet were cold, and Shi Gui couldn't wait to be able to hold her to sleep.
She had only just taken a sip of the ice sour soup when she heard Danzhu say this, and she took a sip and asked, "Why can't you touch meat food for a month?
Danzhu nodded at her: "In July, did you forget?"
Shi Gui immediately remembered that July was Song Siyuan's birthday, and the last time the old lady ran back to the town for her son to do things, she still thought it was a special day, so she lit three hundred and sixty nine-song Yellow River lanterns, who knew that it was something that had to be done every year.
"July 30 is the enlightenment day of King Jizo Bodhisattva, and since the beginning of July, we will be vegetarian again. Then I rewarded the meat and vegetables, and let them eat a few meals first, but there was no meat in the back, and there was finally some oil and water in their stomachs.
Danzhu took the white cut meat with chopsticks, chewed it with meat juice, followed Shi Gui to eat meat, and could always beat the tooth sacrifice and comfort the five internal organs temple, but it was useless when the whole house was vegetarian, and the meat did not enter the mansion at all, and if you wanted to eat, you only had to swallow and saliva.
The three of them ate together, there was a bowl of white bowls and two fried vegetarian dishes on the table, more than half of this meat was eaten by light bamboo, Jinli took the ice bowl and dangled by the door, her footsteps just sounded, light bamboo immediately turned around, and swept his eyes to see that the ice bowl was poured red and white, I don't know what it was, but she took it out to show off, it must be something they can't usually eat.
Danzhu's nose was almost crooked, but Shi Gui pursed his lips and smiled: "Are you really, do you know if she's here when you smell her?"
"If she eats her, she has to pass by our door, and the Bodhisattva bless her to fall. Danzhu clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and chanted the Buddha, Shi Gui "fluttered" and smiled: "This idea is also worth it, you can keep the Bodhisattva busy." โ
Danzhu grabbed the chopsticks and took two more bites of meat, Jin Li stood in front of the window for a long time, and saw that no one paid attention to her, but spoke first: "How to eat white meat, there should be sauce duck today." โ
Only there is a sauce duck in her house, I am afraid that the Gao Sheng family opened a small stove for her nephew, and when Danzhu went to get the food, she saw a small food box in the kitchen, and sure enough, the food was different from them, she was about to stumble with her as soon as she rolled her eyes, Shi Gui pulled her: "Isn't it the sauce duck, as for this, I will be angry with her." โ
Light bamboo flattened her mouth, Shi Gui also knew that Jinli had always run to her for nothing, Fanxing began to teach her to plan the plate, this errand is what she wanted, or it may be that Gao Shengjia instructed her, although Shi Gui has not followed the account, but learning to plan is the first step, and if she is familiar with it, she will take over in the future.
Gao Sheng's family is indeed capable, but her niece can't see anything to do at this time, not to mention that the grange outside has already been taken care of by Gao Sheng, and she sent a niece to do it, which is not smart.
If Jinli is capable, it's okay, but she is not a capable person, in addition to pinching the tip of the Mandarin Duck Pavilion, she failed to learn to take care of Ye's clothes with Yulan, the Yulan people are gone, and the work is also assigned to Shi Ju, and the two in a room have become a thorn in her side, why don't you come to tease.
Danzhu ignored her, Jinli still sat in front of the door and ate the bowl of ice, Danzhu was so angry that the root of her teeth itched, she gritted her teeth and couldn't help but not speak, she didn't speak, the other two in this room were calmer than her, took out a basket of colored paper, and folded the Caizha River lantern to be put when the dojo was done in the midyear festival.
Two days later, Mrs. Zheng also sent a basket of hawthorn red fruits, to Shi Gui and them to string Muni beads to play, the hawthorn fruits are red and round, stored in the cellar in the old years, and they are still crisp when they are taken out, in addition to the hawthorn, there are also a bunch of ice crystal grapes underneath.
Shi Gui is going to follow Fanxing to learn abacus, this kind of thing naturally has to be told to Mrs. Zheng, the more she is counting on you, the more she will not think of a way to ask for money, the grapes have gone to the courtyard of the eldest young master, Shi Gui is about to manage the accounts with Fanxing, and he will do his best to get together, thinking of sending fresh food.
String up the hawthorn red fruit one by one, look like the Buddha beads hanging in the Bodhisattva's neck, some are set on the wrist, and some are hung under the purse, which can be eaten and played.
Shi Ju's heart is delicate and skillful, and after a while, he folded a lotus paper lamp in front of him, Shi Gui's hand is slower, and there is more than a month, that is, August 15, Shi Dad said that he will come to see her, I don't know if I can come.
Send things to the old house three times a year, Shi Gui has a letter to send back, but there is no reply to send the letter, Chunyan is afraid that she will be disappointed, and always tells her that she is stubble, once it is stubble, and she can't touch it back, no matter how anxious she is, it is useless, and she can't give birth to wings under her armpits, except for waiting or waiting.
As soon as she was distracted, the paper lamp in her hand was folded wrong, and she quickly opened it to smooth it out, thinking that in July, the Ye family would always send people back to her hometown, and she would give incense to Song Siyuan in the ancestral hall, take out the finished single clothes, and hand it to Chunyan in a bag.
No one wrote from her house twice in a row, but Chunyan didn't want her to send it away, so she only laughed: "I know, maybe I can have your reply this time." โ
Shi Gui rarely worries about this on weekdays, if he has money at home, he can buy land and buy a house, and his life can always be better, but he has never been worried about the faith, and his heart is stuffy, and he will no longer fold after folding two more.
Danzhu wore a string of Muni beads for her, knowing that she was worried about her family, having been with her for so long, knowing that she had made up her mind to return to her hometown, before she opened her mouth, Shi Ju came over with a look, and Danzhu sneered and closed her mouth, she wanted to persuade Shi Gui to save some money for herself, better than anything else, remember you for a year or two, and forget you for three or four years.
Shi Gui frowned rarely, the raccoon slave came back with the burr ball, and as soon as he came back, he couldn't stop meowing at Shi Gui, and he couldn't shake his head, but he couldn't take down the burr ball on his ears, and he didn't know where it was drilling, and he came back with this.
The front paws were on Shi Gui's calves, hugged Shi Gui's eyes, Danzhu covered his stomach and laughed, two of them were taken off, and one was stained on his back, the raccoon slave was afraid that he would roll around, and he couldn't take it off if he was stained, Shi Gui couldn't, so he had to take the scissors out and cut the hair of that piece.
A piece of yellow hair on the back of the raccoon slave is called bald, shake his head and feel comfortable, meow to rub Shi Gui's instep, squatting and asking her what she wants to eat, Shi Gui let the cat break up, and put down the troubles temporarily, comb and feed it, and carry it into the basket: "It's almost fat." โ
The raccoon slave tilted his body, slept the basket to a full extent, held a mahogany head ball in his arms, tilted his head and squinted his eyes, and spread a thin quilt with light bamboo: "This ghost thing, when I sleep, I am clearly there, and I don't know where to run when I get up in the morning." Reaching out and rubbing its head, the tanuki opened his mouth and meowed, but still refused to move.
Danzhu took a look at the basket, and said with a tongue: "It's almost too heavy to hold it." "The people are still talking, and the cat is already curling up and squinting and snoring.
As soon as the days slipped by, it was time for the July Festival when the ghost door opened, pardon the lonely and let go of the mouth, the Song family did not eat meat up and down, although they got the monthly money, they also suffered their belly for a month, and the little girl who ran outside was also repaid, and after grabbing a few dollars, they could always buy some meat buns and goose meat on the street to satisfy their hunger, and the bitter ones were still these little girls.
A few light bamboos and Shi Gui together even if they opened meat, the original three days and five days, Shi Gui went to Zheng Pozi's small kitchen, there was always something to eat, now there is no meat food into the door, Zhuang Shang even did not send fish, just send some lotus water chestnut fine silver seedlings, the kitchen will make ingots eggs, marinated eggs are also used as dishes, and it is already good to take the vegetarian fried golden eggs and send them up.
This is still the girl in the upper room can eat, at most the vegetarian fried tofu at the bottom, even after eating for a month, Shi Gui's waist is thin, Danzhu saw the sky and shouted that his legs and feet were weak, and said that Jinli was still so energetic, and he looked like he had stolen meat to eat.
"You're powerless, and you're still thinking about her. Shi Gui joked, Danzhu almost jumped up, and then lay down again: "When you are the host on your birthday, I can eat a โกโก pig." โ
Shi Ju laughed when she heard this, shaking her shoulders and laughing so much that her face turned red: "You have eaten all the โกโก pigs, so what are you?" Danzhu knew that he had lost his mouth, so he hugged his belly and rolled on the quilt: "I can just eat a bite of pig, and I can smell the smell of meat." โ
Shi Ju stretched out his hand and covered her mouth: "Don't shout, the lights in the wife's house haven't been extinguished yet." "Today is Song Siyuan's longevity, the lights in Ye's house are not extinguished at this time of year, and the lotus lamp in the room is replaced with glazed burning in the morning, which is only lit in the Midyear Festival, Ye's does not need to use this alone, but no one in the courtyard dares to say it, even the light bamboo only rubs his arms, and he does not dare to confide in half a word about the glazed lotus soul.
Danzhu stuck out his tongue, and really didn't dare to make any more trouble, blew the lamp and lay on the bed honestly, it was hot in summer, and the window was open at night to let in the wind.
