Chapter 28: A Foodie's Reward

Huai'an is a small town, even if there is a Lantern Festival, it is not a big event.

It is nothing more than putting up a night market near the temple of the Queen Mother, where people usually gather, and hanging some lanterns to meet the scene. Of course, some people who are more affluent will also set up a few lantern riddles and put some colorful heads to make people laugh.

But these amusement facilities are all rotten in Nianfu's eyes, but in the hearts of people in this era, it is an annual event. All over the country, as long as everyone can move, especially the big girls and young men, they are even more excited, looking forward to what will happen to the legendary story of love at first sight.

Hui Niang smiled and took the burden of tofu flower from the hands of the Ouyang family, and then pushed her daughter out, "Don't block here, go shopping with the young masters and young ladies." This money is given to you, buy what you like yourself. ”

Such a festival is a good time to do business, and Hui Niang naturally refuses to miss it. I had already made two large vats of steaming tofu flowers, plus a basket of lard cakes baked by my daughter, which I sold to tourists at night to save money for my daughter's dowry.

It's just that she is doing business here, but she doesn't want her daughter to suffer with her. Seeing that Nianfu refused to leave on the grounds that she was not safe alone, she thought that her daughter was worried that Master Hu would make trouble again, and explained in a low voice, "Don't worry, there are many people at night, and no one dares to make trouble in public, besides, how long has it been since I saw that bastard come out to make trouble?" I guess I've stopped thinking about it, my mother is not afraid here. ”

Nianfu didn't want to leave yet, but Xiao Cui Lin ran over very friendly and took her hand, "Sister Mu, let's go play together, I also have money, you see, there are three articles in total." My mother said that you can buy candy to eat, and I invite you to eat it. ”

Belch...... Well, the little Lori is the most lethal. Nianfu had to tell his mother to be careful again and again, and then he began to visit the lamp market with a large group of people.

It is indeed a large group of people, the two foodies of the Ouyang family came out of the Shi family, and took Hui Niang's mother and daughter to pick up the Cui family sisters and brothers, of course, Cui Qi is also indispensable among them.

After being angry all afternoon, when Ouyang Kang came to pick up people, Miss Cui Qi's anger was almost gone. Think about it, if she doesn't go, others will also want to play, so why can't she get along with herself?

Therefore, the "generous and reasonable" girl Cui Qi decided not to be familiar with others, and still maintained her dignified and elegant posture. Along the way, she also adhered to the demeanor of the eldest sister and took care of Ouyang Qing enthusiastically, even her cousins and cousins had to stand aside.

Hum! Cui Heng smiled sarcastically, walked side by side with his cousin at the back, and did not look at the eldest sister's "demeanor", but listened attentively to the conversation between the younger sister and Sister Mu on the side.

"Sister Mu, the eggs you made today are so delicious."

"Really? Xie Lu Xie. ”

"The meat is delicious, too."

"Huh."

"Other dishes are delicious, too."

Touch your head.

"Sister Mu, can you continue to do it tomorrow?" The little girl's little tail soon couldn't be hidden.

Nian Fu thought to himself, if your family wants to be rich, you can eat it all at once. But she couldn't bear to let money hurt such an innocent little Lori too early, so she just smiled, "But tomorrow is not the holiday?" ”

The little girl was a little disappointed, "Can you only eat it during the holidays?" ”

Nianfu nodded, "Sister's family, I only ate meat once today." ”

The little girl pursed her mouth, "I know, my cousin also went to eat." ”

Speaking of this, Nianfu couldn't help but want to prick the villain in his heart.

Xiao Cui Lin suddenly asked again, "Sister Mu, do you want to paint a portrait?" ”

Don't jump too fast on this topic.

The little girl smiled mysteriously, stretched out her finger to Cui Heng behind her, lowered her and said, "My brother can draw a portrait, let him draw one for you." ”

Cui Heng was a little embarrassed, "Arlene, what are you talking about!" ”

The little girl said very seriously, "Brother, you can help my sister draw a portrait." In the future, if I want to eat meat, I won't think so much when I see my sister. ”

This was a little sad to say, Nianfu was speechless for a while, and Cui Heng felt even more uncomfortable. stepped forward and took my sister and made a compensatory note to Nianfu, "My little sister is young and ignorant, please don't blame my sister." ”

Nianfu wanted to smile and say that it was okay, but he couldn't laugh.

Cui Heng was young and vigorous, and when he said such words, he was also unhappy in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel sorry, "It's useless for me to be a seven-foot man, not to mention making meritorious contributions, and I can't even earn food and clothing for my family, what's the use?" ”

Nianfu was stunned for a while, but saw Ouyang Kang solemnly take over and said, "In the past, there were times when a big husband like Han Xin couldn't support himself, but didn't he also pay homage to the prime minister later?" Cousin, you are still young, how can you be so arrogant? If you work hard, you may not have the opportunity to get ahead, but if you give up on yourself, what future is there? I would venture to say it, if you want to say that it is difficult, Sister Mu is thousands of times more difficult than you, but she can think of earning meat for her family, why can't you? ”

"Well said! Instead of envying the fish in the abyss, why not retreat and close the net? Nephew, you're in love. Suddenly, there was a person next to him who looked from the sedan chair with a smile, ha, it was actually Mr. Wu!

He had been to Cui's house, and Cui Heng knew it, so he hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute. But he looked at Ouyang Kang and asked, "What do you think of the book I gave you?" ”

Ouyang Kang was even more surprised, and the teacher knew that he was comparing himself, and respectfully replied to a scripture in the three-character scripture, "He is a woman, and he is smart, and he is a man, so he should be a self-policeman." ”

Mr. Wu nodded, "Don't think these words are superficial, the more superficial some truths are, the easier it is to be ignored." If you have already read this, go back and read the history books, and I will test you later. ”

Ouyang Kang hurriedly responded and invited Mr. to go to his house again. Mr. Wu smiled and said, "How can you live up to such a festive night?" Girl! He suddenly smiled at Nianfu, "Next time I come, I will also taste the meat you made, and prepare well!" Also, this cake in your house is good. There are also tofu flowers, I have a whole round. Your mother said to go back with someone first, let you play slowly, don't worry. ”

Seeing that he took out a lard cake from the sedan chair to swagger, and there was a family member carrying his own tofu flower bucket behind, Nianfu was very happy and decided not to tell people that she had smelled the aroma of fat powder from the sedan chair.

Anyway, the old leftover man has no wife, so who do you want to spend the festival with?

Nianfu didn't admit that his festival had fallen to the ground, and waved goodbye to Mr. Wu.

It's just that although Mr. Wu left, his two words remained in Cui Heng's heart, and he couldn't help but sigh with envy and sigh, "Cousin, you are really lucky to have such a good teacher." I heard that Mr. Wu's friend, Mr. Ni Taiyu's paintings are also excellent, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to visit him. ”

Although his family is known as a scholarly family, it is poor, so he naturally does not dare to invite a master. Cui Heng can only study with his father, and a little Danqing is also self-taught.

Ouyang Kang glanced at his cousin sympathetically, not wanting Sister Mu to suddenly say, "Young Master Cui, if you think so, you just don't understand Mr. Wu's true meaning." There are people in this world who hate the poor and love the rich, but those who are teachers always hope that their disciples will have a few who can pass on his mantle and pass on the lintel. If you really have the heart, why don't you ask that gentleman to give it a try? Even if you can't pay the tuition now, won't you be able to pay it in your lifetime? It's a big deal to lose face, how much are you worth at this young age? ”

Cui Heng was shocked when he said this, Ouyang Kang looked at her again, patted his cousin on the shoulder, and whispered, "You might as well give it a try." ”

Not to mention how Cui Heng's words to Nianfu hooked his heart, Ouyang Qing and Cui Qi saw that they hadn't followed for a long time, and they were a little unhappy there.

It turned out that Ouyang Qing took a fancy to a child who was a guessing jack for a bow and arrow, but unfortunately he guessed several times, but it was not right. Cui Qi couldn't do anything, so he asked everyone to come forward.

In fact, the riddle was not difficult, Ouyang Kang thought about it for a while, and then he knew what the Dao was. But he looked at the bow and arrow that seemed to be quite lethal, and then thought about Ouyang Qing's lawless personality, and deliberately only said that he couldn't guess.

Ouyang Qing quit, and Cui Qi wanted to buy it with money in order to coax him.

The owner of the family saw her domineering appearance, but he didn't want to, "My family doesn't make a living from this, but it's just a big holiday to have fun for all the fathers and villagers, who is rare about your money?" ”

Cui Qi touched his nose and felt so boring.

Nianfu said disdainfully, "What is the meaning of this child's wooden bow and arrow?" If a manly man wants to play, he can play with a real bow and a real arrow. ”

Saying this, Ouyang Qing felt that this pair of bows and arrows was not interesting anymore, and walked away with his hands no longer entangled, and soon found other interesting things.

Ouyang Kang looked at the rewards that were not lethal, and helped the little fat man guess a few, so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and he was excited again. It's just that Cui Qi wants to get to him again, but he can't make it.

The little fat man looked disgusted, "You don't know how to guess riddles, what are you doing here?" ”

Miss Cui Qi, who had no place to show her eldest sister's demeanor, was lost, and when she was lost, she became more and more resentful of Nianfu, feeling that it was all because of her that she had lost Ouyang Qing's favor.

Seeing that everyone had guessed the riddle for a while, he came over to find fault, "Sister Mu, why don't you guess one?" Oh, I almost forgot, you can't read, you can't read, how can you guess? How about I, do you want me to read one for you? ”

Listening to her laughter when she covered her mouth, Nianfu wanted to pinch her neck!

But what this dead woman said is right, she has been pretending to be illiterate, how can she guess the riddle? But if you can't guess, you have to be laughed at by this dead woman, and you may not be able to guess it. Oh, this feels so aggrieved?

Nianfu was complaining, but Ouyang Kang was careful, noticed their movements, and quietly gave her a look.

Nian Fu looked over and saw a riddle painted on the lantern of a house, and said that the guesser could take the copper coin on the plate below.

Nianfu stepped forward and saw the round lantern painted with blue sky and white clouds, willow trees and peach blossoms, and more than a dozen small birds. The painting is clumsy, as if it were done by a child.

Seeing her come forward to see, Cui Qi was still taunted, "Can you understand this painting?" ”

You can't lose if you lose! Nianfu glanced at her, "Do you know the way?" ”

Cui Qi deliberately showed off, and said arrogantly, "Master, are you playing a poem, two yellow orioles singing green willows, and a line of egrets going to the sky?" ”

The host smiled, "The girl is very literate, but it's a pity that this painting is just a child's graffiti, although there are green willows in the sky, but there are no orioles and white egrets." This mystery was made by my grandmother, and if anyone guessed it, they just had to come up and withdraw the money. ”

Ouyang Kang coughed twice, turned his back on others, and secretly gestured to Nianfu. Nian Fu look, what do you mean? Look up at the painting again, ha, ha, she understands! (PS: Yesterday, when I talked about the dish of fried bean dregs, someone asked, and I couldn't help but say 8 or two more, this dish is really delicious, and it is particularly healthy, and it is very effective for people with constipation.) It is necessary to have a large amount of bean dregs, and it must be kneaded with gauze very dry and then fried. Put more oil, stir-fry the garlic, put the bean dregs, and then put some chives and salt, add spicy, add some cooking poles, just pay attention to the dishes are not too much, to the bean dregs to be delicious, but also to fry dry to be fragrant. If there is less bean dregs, you can only make coarse grain steamed buns or bread nests or something, hee hee ~ ~ the most recommended collection after the next one, if there is support, thank you. Even this can be regarded as a foodie's reward, halu ha! O(∩_∩)O)[bookid=2273205,bookname=Chonghua"]
