68. Chapter 68

Everything can find a replacement, like goggles, like waterproof clothing. Jiao Wanwan ordered, in less than ten days, everything was ready, this speed was too much beyond her budget. I think that at the beginning, she had to ask her brother for help to get a kaleidoscope, and it took a long time to get it out. Now Zhao Defang just said a word, and everything came out?

"Try it and see if it's as different as you want." Zhao Defang said with a smile, Jiao Wanwan looked at him, and then looked at the things on the soft couch, after all, she couldn't hold back, and she was a little self-defeating, it was already here, what was the use of pretending that she didn't know anything?

As soon as he came out, Zhao Defang couldn't help laughing, and circled around Jiao Wanwan while laughing: "Why do you look more fat than before?" Is this the way this dress is worn? ”

Jiao Wanwan took off her goggles: "That's it, this is no way, it will be cold if you wear it too thin, in winter, or skiing, you can't do good protective measures, it's easy to freeze, do you want to try it too?" However, it was sunny for the past two days, and the snow outside seemed to have melted a lot. ”

"It's okay, it will continue to snow in a few days." Zhao Defang didn't care, he looked at his clothes with great interest, and then changed into them, and then the two of them couldn't help laughing, to be honest, in this room, the surrounding furnishings are antique, and suddenly two people wearing ski clothes appeared, this situation is indeed too funny.

Zhao Defang was really right, after the twenty-third day of the lunar month, there was immediately a heavy snowfall, much more than before. Fortunately, Zhao Defang had already prepared, and took Jiao Wanwan to Zhuangzi in advance, and Zhuangzi also prepared food for more than a month, as well as charcoal fire.

Jiao Wanwan was still a little worried: "What if I can't go back on the day of the New Year?" "It's not modern, a little snow on the road, and that's still delaying the trip. In ancient times, once it snowed, there was absolutely no way to get on the road.

"It's okay, if you can't go back, we'll spend the New Year in Zhuangzi." Zhao Defang said with a smile: "Mother, I've already said hello, but we can't catch up, and no one will say anything, just go back to Lantern Festival." ”

At this time, the filial piety has not passed, and the banquet cannot be held during the New Year, so whether Zhao Defang can return or not, it is not a big deal. If you go back, at most, you will enter the palace on the first day of the New Year to ask for peace, if you don't go back, you will only be regarded as a closed door and filial piety.

Jiao Wanwan was slightly relieved, and couldn't wait to pull Zhao Defang to test her skis outside. To be honest, at best, it will be slippery, and the technique will only be basic, let alone flipping, and even a turn will still stumble.

But it didn't prevent her from having fun, when she slid down the slope, the wind passed by, and she felt that the whole person was happy, as if she had thrown off the burden on her body, and suddenly became relaxed, as if she could fly to the sky in the next second.

From the very beginning of the crossing, she was worried about her life. Finally, I felt that my life could be saved, and I had to start worrying about Zhao Defang's life. It can be said that after a few days of comfortable days, a thread in her heart is tight, and she looks like she has nothing to do all day long haha, which is also her psychological quality, otherwise, there would have been a problem.

Now it's okay, history has been twisted by her, and it is Zhao Dezhao who succeeds her, and Zhao Defang's life is finally seventy percent sure that it has been saved, and as long as he doesn't die in the future, it is estimated that he will be able to live a long life.

As for herself, the gap that can be blocked has been blocked, and if she can't be blocked, it is probably fate. Anyway, everything she can do has already been done, and the rest depends on God, if God is willing to give her a way to live, then she will definitely live this life happily. If God doesn't want to give her a way to live, at least she has to grasp the moment.

When I figured it out, the whole person was going to float. Jiao Wanwan opened her arms and wanted to shout twice, but she was afraid that she would scare people, so she had to laugh a few times.

Zhao Defang stood on the slope, touching his chin to look at Jiao Wanwan, who was like flying, with a little smile on his face. No matter who lives in this little lady's body, anyway, it is definitely not an evil ghost.

"Be careful, you can't be too far forward, or you'll fall down." Jiao Wanwan demonstrated, and came back to teach Zhao Defang, Zhao Defang is much smarter than her, she followed the company's little sisters for a long time to barely master this skill. Then, she demonstrated it and explained it again, and Zhao Defang got started by herself.

Even, without a teacher, learned to turn around. Two more laps and learned to spin.

Jiao Wanwan felt that in front of Zhao Defang, she really didn't have the slightest chance to be a teacher. Oh no, it's still a little bit, at least she'll have a chance to say it again.

Skiing is also a very tiring thing, two people play from early in the morning to noon, tired and out of breath. I took off my ski suit, and I was shivering from the cold, only to find that the clothes inside were also a little wet, one was sweating, and the other was that even if the ski suit found a replacement, it was not as good as the modern technology.

Fortunately, both of them belonged to the upper class, so they had prepared hot water early, jumped in, breathed comfortably, took a warm bath, and drank ginger soup, which was considered comfortable.

"This thing, it's interesting." Zhao Defang commented: "If you invite a few more people to play, maybe you can set a competition in the future, just like sumo wrestling and kemari." By the way, don't you want to make money? Do you want someone to hurry up and make these things? ”

Zhao Defang nodded at the ski clothes thrown on the ground, and asked with a smile: "This Zhuangzi, the terrain is also convenient, why don't you open the ski resort here?" ”

Jiao Wanwan was a little puzzled: "Why are you interested in these?" ”

"Let's not go to Guizhou, I have to find a way to make more money to support you, and I can save money for my son and daughter in the future, don't you say?" In fact, Zhao Defang has also been thinking about it in the past few days, Guizhou defense makes this errand, otherwise it will be dismissed. After the domain, most of the government affairs over there were for him to deal with, but now he didn't plan to go, and it was not good to occupy this position in vain.

Jiao Wanwan doesn't know much about the things in this court, even in modern times, she doesn't know how much difference there is between what a provincial governor and a secretary general have to do. As for the system or something, she will follow the script.

After listening to Zhao Defang's words, she didn't think about it, nodded with a smile and said: "This is a good idea, then I won't take advantage of you in vain, let's make five or five points, okay?" It's just that if this Zhuangzi opens a ski resort, you won't be able to live quietly for a few days in the future, are you willing to do it? ”

She can see that this Zhuangzi is in a good location, the construction is also good, and there are even hot springs. Presumably, Zhao Defang often came to live for a period of time in the past, and the people who served here were also very sophisticated, since they came from time to time, they must be their favorite Zhuangzi, so they took it out to open a ski resort, but Jiao Wanwan was a little more reluctant.

"If you are reluctant to give up this hot spring, let's buy another hot spring village." Zhao Defang didn't care: "It's the terrain here, only this one Zhuangzi is suitable for opening a ski resort, but you have to think about it, you really decide, I have to write a post when I go back." ”

Jiao Wanwan hesitated a little: "It's not something that can be opened in a while, someone has to teach it, right?" There must be a rescue team, and there must be arrangements for people to bathe and change clothes, there are many things, we live here now, if there are too many people coming and going, I am afraid it will be a little inconvenient. ”

"But if it doesn't open this year, it is estimated that we will have to wait for next year, and if we lose the opportunity, we may not be able to make money." The most important thing is that this is ancient, a little inconvenient, unlike modern snow, as long as the ski resort is opened, you can go all year round. In ancient times, it was only two or three months in winter, and it didn't have to snow every day, and even if it snowed, it wasn't necessarily suitable for skiing.

If you really calculate it, it is suitable for business, in fact, it is only about ten days of work all year round. Even if ski clothes can be sold for a hundred taels of silver, this is already a sky-high price, how many people can the ski resort accommodate in a day? Up to ten. For the sake of these thousands of taels of silver, the entire Zhuangzi was almost given away, isn't it a bit of a pity?

The cost of earning is not enough, Jiao Wanwan is a little hesitant.

"Forget it, let's not use this to make money, it's okay for you to make an appointment with three or five friends to have fun, if you open a ski resort, you have to worry about safety, and you can't have a good time, it's too tiring."

After a pause, he added: "Besides, making money is just to make your life better, so that your life is not as good as before, so you have put the cart before the horse, don't you think?" ”

Zhao Defang's face became a little softer, and he raised his hand to rub Jiao Wanwan's hair: "I listen to you, you can do whatever you say." He kissed Jiao Wanwan with his head sideways, and said with a smile: "Since the ski resort is no longer open, then go back, I invited the imperial brother and them to come over and play with this?" ”

Jiao Wanwan was a little surprised: "On this snowy day, the road is not easy to walk, right?" Can the emperor leave the palace? ”

"If you want to get out of the palace, you can always come out." Zhao Defang didn't elaborate, he said that for most of the day, lunch should be ready, right? I've been hungry for a long time, and I always feel like I can eat a cow today.

Jiao Wanwan laughed, reached out and touched Zhao Defang's belly: "If you can really put a cow in it, I will make you something delicious next time, I guarantee that you have never seen it." The most important thing is that she is a little greedy, but due to the limited conditions, she doesn't know if she can do it.

Anyway, she's leaked enough, not bad. Besides, for foodies, it's not too rare to research one or two things that others haven't seen, right?

Jiao Wanwan thought that it would be very difficult for her to make those western snacks or something, not to mention the raw materials, just the oven or something, it would be difficult to find a substitute, but she didn't expect that she had just described it here, and the next day, Zhao Defang asked someone to get her a weird-looking one on the outside, but on the inside, it was really an oven.

"There's such a thing." Jiao Wanwan circled around twice in surprise: "Or did you ask people to do it again?" ”

"It's not a re-make, there are a lot of baked cakes, for example, hanging oven baked cakes, stone baked cakes or something, most of them use various stoves, and the ones you are talking about, aren't they just another kind of baked cakes? At most, it tastes different. Zhao Defang waved his hand lightly: "Maybe, the taste is not as good as the baked cake." ”

There are countless types of baked cakes alone, with and without filling, baked and baked, with and without embellishment, with two or three layers of mille-feuille, fried and dry-baked, and most importantly, sweet and salty, and you can have whatever you want.

As for what kind of bread Jiao Wanwan said, Zhao Defang didn't think it was rare at all. Even if it's very soft and can be soft in the oven? Can you crispy over Zhoucun baked cakes? Can you crispy cross the Yellow Bridge baked cake? Can you smell the minced meat pancakes?

However, my own lady has a new idea, so I still have to support it. If it's not delicious, it's a big deal to take it out and give it away, or find a way to make her forget about it, and don't do it again in the future.

Of course, Jiao Wanwan didn't know about Zhao Defang's thoughts, and she didn't inquire in detail about where Zhao Defang found the stove, so she just wanted to find something to replace the raw materials. Can you see high-gluten flour and low-gluten flour just by looking at the surface? Butter or something, when did it appear?

Although she has baked her own dim sum or something in modern times, she is an amateur, so she occasionally remembers it, and only then does she use the oven, not a professional master, nor does she really like to make pastries, that is, she is curious.

Thinking about these is to think about it for a while, and I wander from time to time in the middle. Then, the way of thinking went crooked, like, at the beginning of the Song Dynasty, there were no moon cakes, right? Wuren hasn't dominated the mooncake world yet, right?

Why don't you try some mooncakes?

Zhao Defang sat next to her, watching her pinching her fingers with great interest and calculating what she wanted, she couldn't help but shake her head, she was going to write a post to a few friends to invite them to ski, but thinking that she was still in the filial piety period, she endured it, anyway, she didn't plan to do business anymore, she played by herself this year, and invited them next year.

"This fire is a bit big, and it's too hard." Jiao Wanwan got some moon cake molds the next day, and tried it first with a small stove, but the temperature was not well controlled, and the first furnace could not be eaten. The second furnace is small talk and not mastered well, and what is baked is exploded, and you can't watch it.

Zhao Defang stretched out his hand and poked it, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Can you really eat it?" ”

Jiao Wanwan was a little depressed, and rolled her eyes: "If you can't eat it, can I bring it?" You taste it first, if this ingredient is right, maybe the next furnace will be successful, the filling is not right, you can mix it again while you don't put it in. ”

Jiao Wanwan likes to eat egg yolks, and the lotus paste method is not too complicated, this is still very easy to get. It's a pity that it exploded, and the yolk was a little charred. I tasted it a little, not to mention, it tasted pretty good.

Zhao Defang also took a bite and nodded: "If you can eat it, you can eat it, but there is nothing brilliant about it, compared with the pie, the outer layer is more crispy, moist and soft." Compared with dim sum, it is more hard, it seems that there are a little on both sides, but it seems that there are shortcomings on both sides, if you really like to eat inside, it is better to eat dim sum, if you like to eat outside, it is better to eat baked cakes, but perhaps, maybe there is a strange taste, will you like this one? ”

The corners of Jiao Wanwan's mouth twitched: "So, do you think the taste is more unique?" ”

"It can't be said to be unique, if it's done, maybe it will be delicious, otherwise, I'll wait for the next furnace to try it?" Zhao Defang hurriedly comforted his mother: "Besides, it's nothing if it's not delicious, at least others can't be like you, you can casually make a new type that has never appeared before." ”

It's really hard to tell whether it's praise or ridicule, Jiao Wanwan is depressed and doesn't want to speak, it seems that the road she wants to be a gourmand has been blocked and has no talent. It is estimated that in this life, there will only be one menu or recipe.

"Okay, we have a cook in the house, if you can't do it yourself, let them do it, once or twice, they can always make something that satisfies you. What about your most important thing right now, not to stay in the kitchen all day and do this and that, but to accompany me so that we go to the mountains in the afternoon? ”

Zhao Defang comforted Jiao Wanwan and proposed: "I look at the past two days, there are signs of the sun, it is estimated that the snow should melt in two days, didn't you say some time ago that you want to step on the snow to find plums?" When the snow melts, the mountain road will not be easy to walk. ”

"Are there plum blossoms on the mountain?" Jiao Wanwan was a little surprised, Zhao Defang nodded, leaned on the cushion, and had a lazy smile on her face: "Planted many years ago, in addition to plum blossoms, there are begonia flowers and the like, in spring, summer, autumn and winter, you can stand on the top of the mountain and enjoy the scenery, but unfortunately, the mountain is a little high, but it is not good to build a house, otherwise, it is good to stay for two days." ”

"You planted it?" Jiao Wanwan was even more curious: "How did you think of planting it on the mountain?" ”

"Look at the mountains." Zhao Defang raised his hand and touched her cheek: "Do you want to go?" ”

Of course, I have to go, anyway, on a snowy day, I can't go anywhere else to play, so I might as well go to the mountains to enjoy the scenery. That is, the road is slippery in snow, and it should be more difficult to walk up the mountain, right? Waiting for Jiao Wanwan to ask this question, Zhao Defang waved his hand and only smiled: "You don't have to worry, there will never be an accident, since I dare to take you up the mountain, I will definitely not let you have any accidents." ”

After lunch, wearing cotton clothes and wrapping in cloaks, the couple took people to plan to go up the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, Jiao Wanwan understood what Zhao Defang meant. The mountain road is not easy to walk, but there are iron cables hanging on both sides, and if you drag the iron cable up, you will never fall down.

Of course, this is a physically demanding job, and if you accidentally fall, it is also a bit ugly.

But this couldn't stop Zhao Defang's interest, raised her hand and looked at Jiao Wanwan with a smile, Jiao Wanwan hesitated, but still put her palm in Zhao Defang's palm, and on the other hand, with cotton gloves, she didn't feel too cold when she grabbed the iron cable.

Zhao Defang's hands are particularly good-looking, like jade carvings, with distinct joints, sometimes just staring at these two hands, Jiao Wanwan can be happy for a day. The most important thing is that this hand is warm in winter and cool in summer, and when I first got married, I felt a kind of warmth when I held my hand. Now, it's lukewarm.

"How many steps are there?" While walking forward, Jiao Wanwan asked, Zhao Defang thought sideways: "It seems to be more than three hundred, which is not very high." ”

Jiao Wanwan calculated in her heart, count twenty steps and one floor, more than three hundred, fifteen floors? That's not too high.

"When did you get this?" Continuing to ask, Zhao Defang replied slowly: "About twelve or thirteen times, at that time, I just got this Zhuangzi, and I always wanted to come and live for a few days, and then I suddenly thought that I would make this mountain what I wanted, so I invited someone to get it, and the house was not easy to build, so I only got a pavilion." There are four passages in total, one for each in early summer, autumn and winter, and plum blossoms are planted here. ”

As he spoke, he motioned for Jiao Wanwan to look forward. At the foot of the mountain are ordinary trees, and after walking more than 20 steps, I gradually see the shadow of a plum tree. Jiao Wanwan snorted vigorously, there was no taste.

looked at Zhao Defang suspiciously, Zhao Defang couldn't help laughing, the way he snorted, and the doubts on his face, were so cute.

"You have to go further to smell it, so that you can have the fun of walking in the snow and looking for plums." Zhao Defang said with a smile, Jiao Wanwan is occasionally a little literary and fresh, and suddenly realized: "Follow the fragrance and find the plum blossom you like, and then you will be happier, right?" ”

It's vulgar, it's the joy of harvest, and it took me a long time to find it.

Zhao Defang smiled and nodded: "The other three roads, I will take you to see them next year, the flowers and plants planted on each side are different, each road has different scenery, giving people different feelings, you will definitely like it." ”

Jiao Wanwan smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's continue to come next year, come every year, the scenery every year must be different, today is the snow scene, wait for next year, we will come when it is not snowing, the year after tomorrow, we will bring something to barbecue, the year after tomorrow, maybe we can bring the children." ”

Zhao Defang also nodded: "Okay, listen to you, we will come to see it every year in the future, that is, the scenery is the same, but the mood is different, and the scenery we see is also different." ”

Halfway through, Jiao Wanwan was a little tired, just about to say standing and resting for a while, but suddenly smelled a fragrance, elegant, quiet, which shocked people's spirits, and the fatigue on her body seemed to be swept away, and when she turned her head, she saw that the plum blossoms around her were not the same as what she saw before.

It seems that the higher you go, the more the plum blossoms bloom, from a few flowers to full of flowers, from almost unsmellable to fragrant. Jiao Wanwan's mind instantly appeared in the Peach Blossom Spring, but it should be changed to the Plum Blossom Spring.

The fatigue of the whole body disappeared in an instant when I saw the beautiful scenery. Jiao Wanwan also understood more and more what Zhao Defang said just now, and she worked hard all the way to realize the happiness she could get more and more.

"A little more is coming, are you okay?" Just as Zhao Defang turned his head and asked, Jiao Wanwan looked up at him, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she suddenly turned sideways and kissed him on the chin: "I'm not tired, I won't be tired no matter how far I go." ”
