After coming down from the Maple Forest Mountain, the single steward had already roasted the whole sheep. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

It was still early, and Xu Xiang ate a lot at noon, but after walking around Fenglin Mountain, he smelled the roast sheep again, and his stomach screamed.

Xiao Jiu was even more happy to dance and run towards the roast sheep.

The mother who is in charge of the affairs is a Hu person, so she knows some Hu food, especially good at roasting meat.

In addition to the whole sheep, the single steward also roasted chicken, rabbit and pork ribs, and even some side dishes were grilled, which was very different from the daily diet of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"I thought the mutton soup I drank at noon was already delicious, but I didn't expect the roast mutton to be even more crispy and delicious." Xu Xiangwan cut a piece of mutton that was roasted brown and crispy, first looked at the skin full of spices, smelled the tempting fragrance, and then took a bite, and couldn't help but close his eyes and praise.

Shen Qianyu entertained Xu Xiangwan and a few people, and did not let the little maid serve on the side, cutting and taking meat by himself, which was exotic.

Xiao Jiuren's small hands were short, and it was inconvenient to eat, so Shen Qianyu used a special knife to cut a large piece of lamb leg meat for him and put it on his plate.

Hearing this, Xiao Jiu couldn't help but directly grabbed the leg of mutton with his hand, stuffed it directly into his mouth, and sighed inarticulate while chewing with his eyes wide open: "It's so delicious!" I've never eaten such delicious meat! ”

"Xiao Jiu, don't talk while you eat in your mouth." Seeing that Xiao Jiu ate without an image, Gorou patted his head helplessly and pretended to reprimand harshly.

However, Xiao Jiu is now concentrating on dealing with the leg of mutton in his hand, where can he care about paying attention to Gorou, but he just made a perfunctory "woo" twice, and then buried his head in a hard fight again.

Under Shen Qianyu's greeting, Wulang and Xu Qiuyi were no longer polite, and ate one after another.

This is the first time that Gorou and the others have eaten such baked food, and they almost swallowed their tongues in one bite, and they couldn't stop when they started, until the five of them gnawed half a sheep, a chicken, a rabbit, and half a piece of ribs, until their stomachs were swollen.

The little nine people are the smallest, and they are the most greedy, and after a meal, they are so hungry that they lie on the table and can't move.

Fortunately, the single manager was thoughtful, and after everyone finished eating, they served the prepared kumquat cake and perilla tea, which was just right for everyone who had eaten to eliminate the bloating.

After eating and resting for a while, it was already dusk and sunset, and Shen Qianyu sent Xu Xiangwan and the others, who were full of tea and food, back to Xujia Village.

When she got out of the car, Shen Qianyu also carried a delicate food box and came to the Xu family's old house with Xu Xiangwan and a few others.

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhang sat in the courtyard while doing needlework, looked out the door, heard the movement, and hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" ”

"Mother, we're back." Xu Xiangwan responded loudly.

Xiao Jiu, who was well fed and drunk, had already fallen asleep in the carriage, and was sleeping in Gorou's arms at this time.

As soon as the words fell, the courtyard door had been opened, and Zhang happily welcomed everyone in.

"Auntie, if you didn't go to Fenglin Garden today, I asked the single manager to bake one for you alone, you can taste it while it's hot and see how it tastes." Shen Qianyu put the food box on the table of the Little Eight Immortals and said with a smile.

Zhang didn't expect Shen Qianyu to bring one back for himself, and he was both moved and ashamed: "You always bring us things, but we have nothing to give you, it's really deserved." ”

"Aunt said this, I am a good brother with Gorou, and you are equivalent to half of my mother, I should honor you." Shen Qianyu smiled loudly, very happy, he could see that he was very happy today, and the unhappiness of meeting Han Qi in the morning had already been thrown away.

Regarding Shen Qianyu's life experience, Xu Xiangwan and Wulang both mentioned it to Zhang, knowing that he lost his mother when he urinated and grew up with his grandmother.

Shen Qianyu had to rush back to Ganquan County today, but he couldn't go back too late to enter the city, so he just said goodbye after a few gossips with Zhang and others, and he didn't even have time to drink tea.

"I'll see you again in two days." Shen Qianyu said to Wulang before leaving, but his eyes inadvertently drifted to Xu Xiangwan, and when he saw him nodding with a smile, his eyes were suddenly full of smiles.

Zhang was afraid that Wulang didn't eat dinner, so he didn't start the fire until Shen Qianyu left, and when she heard that Wulang's brothers and sisters had eaten, she was ready to eat hot soup and dishes by herself.

Seeing the food box on the table, Xu Xiangwan curiously opened it and looked at it, only to see that the food box was divided into three layers, the upper layer was placed with deboned roast lamb leg and a roast chicken, the second layer was placed with roast ribs, meat skewers, and half a roast rabbit, and the third layer contained two packets of dried fruits, a pack of kumquat cakes, and a pack of hawthorn slices.

These meats should have been roasted before Xu Xiangwan and the others left, and they were still a little hot to the touch, but they were not cold.

"Mother, I'll give you a hot bowl of soup, and you can eat some barbecue." Xu Xiangwan hurriedly stopped Zhang's movements and went to the kitchen by himself.

Xu Qiuyi has always been diligent, so naturally she followed Xu Xiangwan to the kitchen.

Seeing that such a large food box was full of all kinds of barbecue, Zhang did not refuse, just smiled and nodded, and beckoned Goro and the others to eat together.

The Gorou brothers and sisters had already eaten enough, so naturally they didn't eat anymore.

The Xu Xiangwan sisters quickly warmed up the soup and served it to the table.

The family sat around the table of the little eight immortals, relishing what they had seen and heard today, and chatting until the beginning of the moonlight before they washed up and fell asleep.

The third day after the winter solstice is Xu Qiuyi's ninth birthday, and on this day, Zhang and others gave Xu Qiuyi's birthday gifts, even Xiao Jiu is no exception. Zhang sent a new set of shoes and socks and dresses, Wulang gave a silver hairpin, Xu Xiangwan gave Xu Qiuyi a box of homemade balsam, and Xiao Jiu gave a golden chicken caught at the foot of the mountain.

After the winter solstice, the weather suddenly turned cold, and a light rain drifted down, which was very cold.

Zhang and the others no longer allowed Xu Xiangwan to go to the mountain, and Xu Xiangwan had to nest at home to tinker with medicinal materials.

Although Shopkeeper Shen was no longer in Rende Hall in Guojia Town, Xu Xiangwan still sent the last batch of medicinal materials after the winter to Rende Hall. Xu is shopkeeper Shen said hello, Rendetang still bid fairly, and did not embarrass Xu Xiangwan for half a night.

This batch of medicinal materials happened to be sold for one or two silver, and Xu Xiangwan suddenly felt a lot more at ease.

Before renting a house and buying land, Zero Zero always spent a dozen taels of silver, Xu Xiangwan's heart was very painful, and now he finally has a large investment, Xu Xiangwan felt a little better.

At the beginning of the month, Zhang and Xu Qiuyi also had their first entry, Zhang handed over a peony embroidery map to Xiuzhuang, ten embroidered papas, and Xu Qiuyi handed over twenty embroidered papas. Before, it was said that a pair of embroidered pictures of one hundred texts, one embroidered Pa Bawen, because of Zhang's embroidery work, peony embroidered vividly, Xiuzhuang actually agreed to give each embroidery painting more than fifty Wen, each embroidered Pa more than two Wen, the Zhang and Xu Qiuyi settled, and later specially sent embroidery work to his embroidery village. Therefore, these embroidery work actually got a total of 450 yuan, which can be regarded as a great amount of income. (To be continued.) )
