In August and a half of this year, Xiao Yu entered the palace, Liao Qiu left and returned to Taikou, the two of them were busy with their own things, and hurried to Ju'er Hutong, Liao Qiu left the house where he arrived first, and after entering the door, he first moved a table out, and put melons and fruit mooncakes on it, and a rabbit with a tiger and an umbrella, and the incense and candles were also taken out and put aside, and after a while, Xiao Yu came back and the two worshiped the moon together. This small altar for moon worship was placed next to the decent-looking magnolia.

Xiao Yu left the palace in the middle of the unitary time, returned to Ju'er Hutong at the end of the unitary time, entered the house, and first saw a table, on which there were all kinds of melons, fruits, cakes and wine, and there was also a pink rabbit master. Liao Qiu went into the stove to get the steamed crabs, one in and one out, looked up and bumped into him, Xiao Yu hugged the person over, rested his chin on the shoulder socket of the person, and began to be coquettish.

"Coming back? Go wash your hands, help me bring the crabs over, there is still steamed osmanthus cake in the steamer, tomorrow morning the little chubby girl is coming, she named the ...... to eat" Liao Qiu said from his mouth, his hands did not stop, first patted the head of the coquettish General Xiao, let him wash his hands, and when he washed his hands, he stuffed a plate of crabs into his hands, and he kept going, and went into the stove again.

General Xiao's arms were empty, and there was an extra plate of crabs in his hand, he silently stared at the few cooked crabs full of fat and fat, stared for a while, accepted his fate, picked up the plate and put it on the table, and saw the rabbit with a tiger and an umbrella in the table, grabbed the head and feet in his hand and touched it, and at the end there was a comment: "This year, this rabbit is becoming more and more exquisite, look at this little clothes, this small appearance, and ride a tiger!" ”

The Mid-Autumn Festival for the rabbit is also the old custom of the Qing Dynasty, every household is for, the big family is generally customized in the shop of the second child of the Liao family, the rabbit made by his shop, all of them are not the same, and the price is expensive, of course, the pattern and workmanship are first-class, take it, put it on the table, have relatives to celebrate the festival together, ask the way, said that it is the second child of the Liao family who came out of the shop, and everyone has to sigh and admire. Ordinary people buy in the market, buy in the market, the appearance and workmanship are naturally much rougher, there are clay sculptures, paper paste, and straw sticks, the most expensive clay sculptures, the second most paper-paste, the cheapest straw poles. Those who set up the offering table generally buy clay sculptures, paper paste and straw poles to buy back for the children to play, and the picture is fresh. The poorest families also have to buy a portrait of the rabbit lord and go home to stick at home, and worship it in the middle of August at night to bless the family in and out of safety.

Liao Qiuli put the rabbit on the table tonight, brought back from home, went home for a meal, the family reunion, eating, drinking, laughing, father, mother and sister with happy faces, the small characters of the fart children jumped all over the house, faint, slightly salty, slightly sweet, slightly bitter and slightly spicy, maybe a little sour, is the taste of life. Liao Qiuli smiled slightly and looked around at the relatives sitting around, and suddenly felt very relieved. After the meal, the second child of the Liao family asked the guy to bring up a few brocade boxes, father, mother, brothers and sisters, everyone has a share. Open the box and take a look--yo! What a pretty rabbit! The fart children gathered around on the spot, pestering their parents to ask for it, and the second child of the Liao family greeted: "Come here, there is still here, it is for your father and mother to take home and offer!" The fart children "hula" circled the second child and made trouble for him. The one in Liao Qiuli's hand was originally snatched by the little chubby girl of the third sister's family, and when she saw that there were more interesting things, she stuffed them back into him. Liao Qiuli took it back and saw that the umbrella in the rabbit's hand had collapsed a corner, and the scarf tied around his neck had opened a line, from head to toe, only the rabbit's mouth was still reserved into three petals......

What a spicy hand!

The fat girl smiled, squeezed over and stuffed a half-eaten Mid-Autumn Festival cake into Liao Qiuli's hand, and flattered him with a sneer: "Uncle, do you eat Mid-Autumn Festival cakes?" Hey, hey, I accidentally fell just now, and I had a little accident with you, the rabbit, you see...... It's not that special, is it...... It's quite majestic to put it on the table......", the more he talked, the more he spoke, the more he spoke, the more he whispered, and finally whispered in his ear: "Uncle, don't tell my mother...... She knew she was going to read me, and she was going to die! You love me so much, you can't bear to look at me with a headache, right? Yes? ”。 The fat girl's mother is very strict, from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, nothing can escape the palm of her hand, she doesn't beat or scold, just break it and crush it to tell you, Xiaozhi is emotional and reasonable, one word is down, no one doesn't get sick! The fat girl is not afraid of heaven and earth, but she is afraid that her mother Tang Seng will reason with her!

"It's a big deal, it's worth your surprise, my uncle won't say it, let's play." Liao Qiuli touched her head full of pigtails, and the fart child had to inch in, and said with a smile: "Uncle, I want to eat osmanthus cake, you make it for me, I'll go to your house tomorrow morning to play, and by the way, I'll bring you some gadgets from the big food country!" ”

"Okay, I'll do it tonight, I'll do it for a while, it's cool and delicious."

"Uncle, you're so nice! It's a pity to be with my uncle! Why don't I bring the little droplet next door to my house for you to know? Sister Shuidi is twenty-eight years old this year, and she can get married......"

The fat girl is really good, after a while, she began to dig the corner of General Xiao's wall, if General Xiao was present, the two would inevitably have a verbal battle!

Liao Qiuli stuffed the half of the Mid-Autumn Festival cake in his hand back into the fat girl's mouth, "Okay, my uncle has to go home, you come tomorrow morning, take more osmanthus cakes, and bring some to grandpa, do you know?" ”

The fat girl was busy nibbling on the Mid-Autumn Festival cakes in her mouth, whispered and agreed, turned around and ran to her sisters to play.

In the end, he is still a half-grown child, and he has a lot of play.

Liao Qiu left home for a meal, when he came out, he brought a lot of things, eating, drinking, and playing, the crab was given by the boss of the Liao family, the top one was big, the crab shell was blue and gray, and the crab claw was green with red, and it was the best quality of the cream and fat at a glance. The wine was given by the third child of the Liao family, it was so red and bloody, it was old, and it was light and could not be found outside.

Xiao Yu walked around his own hall, rummaging and sorting around the things that Liao Qiuli brought back, and looked at the excitement for a while, nothing else, the wine was rare, General Xiao was a knowledgeable person, and immediately took the wine and poured it out to wake up, planning to coax the heart and liver to drink a few more glasses for a while, and have an unusual "reunion" tonight.

was thinking about it, Liao Qiuli called him in the stove room: "Come here and help!" ”

General Xiao turned it upside down, took down the large drawer cage used for steaming osmanthus cake three times and divided it by two, and put it on a side shelf to dry, "You go out to rest for a while, I'll go out when I'm done here." ”

Liao Qiuli thought that there were still some things on the table outside, so he went out to get that one first. When everything was ready, the two of them finished worshipping the moon, and sat down opposite each other at the table, and the night was late. General Xiao was peeling a big crab, and the meat he peeled out was enough for a small bowl, so he picked it up and put it in Liao Qiuli's bowl, and said, "Eat it, this crab is good, and it has to fight with the one in the palace." With a smile on his face, he smiled very well, "Drink a little bar, the crab meat is cold, and drinking some wine will not hurt the spleen and stomach", Liao Qiuli drank a glass, feeling sweet, good, so he drank two more glasses, General Xiao's eyes were almost in his wine glass, as long as the glass was empty, he immediately poured wine into it, and persuaded while pouring, "The fruit wine is not intoxicating, it doesn't hurt to drink a few more glasses", the intention is too obvious! Look at his smile, treacherous, as if he was going to steal joy for a while. Liao Qiuli ate a big crab, drank five or six glasses of wine, stopped, and said: "Wine to crabs, the taste is strange, or rice wine is on the right road." ”。 Xiao Yu asked him, "What's wrong?" ”。 He replied: "It tastes weird, the wine is delicious, and the crab is delicious, but when these two things are put together, the taste is not right, I have enough, you can eat it." ”

That's enough?! How can it be?! How can you be enough if you're not drunk yet?!

General Xiao screamed in his heart, lowered his head to sort out the expression on his face, and at least took back the gluttonous tuberculosis that appeared on his face, and after a while, when he looked up again, he was calm.

"Qingzhi, this wine was brought back by the third brother from the Great Qin Kingdom, looking at this color, it has to be a princely figure to drink it, the third brother must have spent a lot of money to pour it, you see, there are so many left, I drank a lot in the palace tonight, and I have to go to court tomorrow morning, what should I do with the rest of this wine?" Take it and pour it out? "General Xiao is very aware of his family's frugal temperament, first said that things are expensive to death, and then said that he has drunk enough tonight, and then he has to lie down tomorrow morning, and finally discussed with his family's heart and soul - is it down?

Are you willing?

The things sent by the third child of the Liao family are all selected from one in ten thousand or one in ten thousand, and the price is naturally frighteningly high or priceless, such a wine, it is a pity to pour a drop, let alone a pot.

“…… Then I'll drink it, don't waste it. ”

That's right! Just waiting for your words!

General Xiao was so happy that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and he couldn't sit steadily, so he moved the chair from the opposite side to the side, poured wine diligently, and diligently peeled crabs, anyway, it was just a thought - to get his heart and liver drunk!

The hard work paid off, the heart and liver were finally drunk and couldn't distinguish things, General Xiao tried to explore the groping pig hand, up and down for a while, the heart and liver fell softly in his arms, half dreaming and half waking up, touching him itching, he was confused "um". General Xiao was so happy that he hurriedly picked him up, took him back to the nest, and ate it while it was hot.

The next morning, the people who said at night that they were going to get up early to go to the court were still lying in the bed, and they got up until they couldn't lie anymore, kissed the person next to the pillow, and then made breakfast. I was full last night, and I got up this morning to be satisfied, he hummed the non-trivial tune, while washing the pot and washing the rice and boiling porridge, from eating to drinking, and from selling cloth and selling needles and threads to humming to pigs and geldings, and finally with a voice "Sharpen scissors!" Boom! Cuisine! Knife! "Make a knot, the whole body is comfortable!

Seeing that the porridge was also boiled and the dishes were ready, General Xiao felt that he had a really good time!
