115.Chapter 115
Fried food, no matter how much you shout about junk food, high cholesterol, all kinds of dangers, etc., is an irresistible temptation for most people.
This year's spring rolls are different from last year's time in Shunyang Pass, not only have more materials, but also more manpower.
Shredded leek pork, shredded cabbage pork, kimchi sour bamboo shoots......
Tian Kaifu also came, and when he came back from a trip, the whole person became black and thin, making trouble on the side, and Ruan Bai didn't bother to drive people out.
Fang Maomao walked with Tian Kaifu last time, and now he has lost a lot of weight when he comes back together. However, Fang Maomao is more obedient, let him do what, unlike Tian Kaifu, there are always countless combinations of hellish dishes.
When Xiao Zhong came in to call someone, Ruan Bai was warning Tian Kaifu: "If you toss again, make your own food and eat it yourself!" ”
"Second young master, my cousin's family is here, and the prince will let you out." Xiao Zhong looked at Tian Kaifu again, "Young Master Tian is also ready?" ”
Tian Kaifu was so busy this time that he came back recently, and his home was in Xijing, so he definitely couldn't go back, but fortunately, Ruan Bai was in the capital. As Ruan Bai's teacher, he went to the student's house for the New Year to clean up. Yes, this is his student's home, not his small home!
As Chu Hao's companion, Tian Kaifu and the county lord's sister are no strangers, and they were not less "cared for" when they were children. If Ji Nandie knew that someone else was there, but didn't go out to see her, then he was worried that he would be beaten all over his face.
As for Fang Maomao, it has always been where he eats, and others follow him.
Although the New Year was not as usual, Ruan Bai thought that he would have to cook something else for a while, that is, he took off his apron and walked out with his food box.
Tian Kaifu also packed a food box, which was snatched by Fang Maomao and carried in his hand: "I'll carry it myself." ”
Fang Maomao refused: "Heavy!" ”
Tian Kaifu continued to stretch out his hand: "It's not heavy." ”
Fang Maomao naturally put his hand on Tian Kaifu's hand and held it: "Let's go." ”
"Oh." Tian Kaifu nodded stupidly, always feeling that something was wrong.
The five senses of people who practice martial arts are sharper than those of ordinary people.
The Zuo family of four people, even the two babies can be regarded as little masters, even if the things are in the food box, they smell it early in the morning, and look at the door with their heads staggered.
There was a light snow outside, and Xiao Zhong gave Ruan Bai an umbrella. At this moment, Xiao Zhong just put down the umbrella, making the place where Ruan Bai was slightly shadowy, but the young man in azure clothes was as beautiful as jade, and he turned this shadow into a foil.
He quickly crossed the threshold and walked in, with the smell of unbleached food on his body, and smiled before speaking: "Sister and brother-in-law, happy new year." This is Xiao Fang Xiaotong, right? Come on, come on, second uncle has delicious food here~"
Zuo Fang and Zuo Tong are the sons of Zuo Yuanliang and Ji Nandie, Zuo Fang is ten years old, and Zuo Tong is eight years old. When they heard Ruan Bai's words, they subconsciously showed a smile, and then looked up at their father.
Zuo Yuanliang rubbed the heads of his two sons with his big palm: "Go and ask your second uncle for a red envelope!" ”
The boss's unceremonious appearance made Ji Nandie slap him heavily on the arm, and glared at him fiercely: "How can you be like this!" ”
The two children were steady, but they walked to Ruan Bai's side with brisk steps, saluted Ruan Bai politely, and said auspicious words: "Second uncle, happy new year and all the best." ”
"Well, that's good." Ruan Bai beckoned to Xiao Zhong, Xiao Zhong knowingly took out two purses embroidered with auspicious patterns, Ruan Bai took it and handed it to the two children.
Xiao Zhong helped put the dishes in the food box on the table, and after a while, a pile of fried golden and fragrant food was placed on the table.
Over there, Tian Kaifu and Fang Maomao (?) I also met Ji Nandie, Fang Maomao was a little dumbfounded, and followed Tian Kaifu to call my sister brother-in-law......
Ji Nandie still smiled.
Zuo Yuanliang's expression was subtle.
Chu Hao was already greeting: "Why are you stunned, hurry up and eat, it won't taste good if it's cold." ”
Except for the two cubs, they are usually familiar. Fang Maomao's mind is similar to that of the little cub, and it is food-only, and some can take care of other things where to eat.
However, after he sat down, he was very obedient, and waited for Tian Kaifu to give him the cloth vegetables, and then he started to eat, and his movements were still very gentle.
Ruan Bai couldn't help but glance at Tian Kaifu. It's really worthy of being an enlightenment/kindergarten teacher, taking children skillfully, and the effect is immediate. Tian Kaifu only didn't know how to cook, and took the children out for a trip, making the two of them look like hungry people, and there were no other shortcomings.
Tian Kaifu felt Ruan Bai's gaze and turned his head puzzled: "? ”
Ruan Bai bowed his head to eat spring rolls and fried chicken.
The two boys of the Zuo family and Fang Maomao didn't raise their heads when they ate.
Even if Chu Hao and Zuo Yuanliang can behave in ordinary times, they are still people who have been in the army in the end, and they quickly let go of their hands and feet.
Tian Kaifu and Ji Nandie were still a little unable to let go at the beginning, but they couldn't let go anymore and saw that things were gone!
There wasn't much on the table, but before I could finish it, someone came up with hot egg and milk pudding. The pudding is served in small glass bottles, and the small spoons placed on the sides are delicate and cute, and then there are small cakes cut into triangles, and all kinds of shortbread......
Chu Hao directly brewed a pot of tea, which relieved the greasy and allowed people to eat more things.
In addition to the fried food at the beginning, the snacks at the back are quite small, and when I eat it, it is often gone in two or three bites, and I don't feel anything at all, and when I stand up after eating, I find that my stomach is straight.
So a group of adults and children continued to sit quietly at the table with their stomachs that couldn't even walk.
Ruan Bai called someone up: "Remove these things, go to the study and bring my checkers." ”
"Second uncle, what is checkers?" Zuo Tong sat beside Ruan Bai and took the lead in asking questions.
On the left, because his brother asked, he didn't need to ask any more. Others are used to it, and Ruan Bai will come out with some new gadgets from time to time. Besides, even if they are curious in their hearts, they still have the patience to wait for such a little time.
A wooden chess box was put up, and the tea leaves were changed by the way.
Ruan Bai, as the only person who could still stand up, raised his hand to open the chess box, which was full of colorful marbles, which made the eyes of several uninformed people light up.
Ji Nandie took one and played with it at that time: "This is made of glass?" ”
Relying on her relationship with Ruan Bai, she is no stranger to glass. Ruan Bai thought of her for any good things, that is, the conservatory was also built on the General's Mansion, and the place was not big, so it was for her to grow flowers and plants. In addition, several of the main rooms have been replaced with glass windows.
In fact, before Ruan Bai made a big move, he asked the Zhou family's big cats and important ministers if they wanted to have an order too. But they all said no, firstly, because the price was expensive, and secondly, they did not see the effect. As a result, when they saw the effect, they had to wait in line if they wanted to buy it.
The Dazhou glass factory has not yet been completed and put into operation, and the orders have accumulated a thick pile.
The Ministry of Industry does not specialize in making glass now, but they still give Ruan Bai a bit of face, and small pieces like checkers do not even cost half a day for skilled craftsmen.
"Hmm." Ruan Bai set up the chessboard and began to explain the rules. The rules of checkers are very simple, and even Fang Maomao quickly understands.
So a group of people scrambled on the table and began to fight.
After a dragon fight, the two generals of the Great Zhou were defeated by the women and children's regrets.
"Dad, get out of the way!"
"Xiao Hao, do you dare to jump over and try it?"
"Xiaotong, you have taken an extra step."
"Uncle, did I make a mistake?"
Originally scheduled for a half-day visit, the Zuo family stayed until the evening, and finally took away a bunch of food, drink and fun, and the two cubs no longer recognized their father and mother, and threw themselves into Ruan Bai's arms and refused to get into the carriage.
"Second uncle, shall we sleep together at night?"
"Second uncle, you come to our house."
Chu Hao threw the two little cubs to his cousin-in-law one in one hand: "We will come over tomorrow." ”
Visiting relatives in the New Year, for these women who marry outside, it is not an opportunity for their mothers to support them. Ji Nandie is definitely not a soft bun that anyone can bully, but she also has to compromise in some places, such as she has to endure a long separation from her two sons.
This time, while the old man of the Zuo family is also there, maybe he should beat a couple of sentences?
Seeing the carriage of the Zuo family disappear into the corner of the street, Ruan Bai took Chu Hao's hand and shook it: "What bad idea are you fighting?" ”
Chu Hao tightened the dog paw in his hand, slapped it lightly with his other hand, and pretended to teach him viciously: "Why do you say that about your brother?" Brother, this is thinking about serious things. ”
As the two walked into the house, they whispered to each other, sometimes making creepy whispers.
Xiao Zhong saw it from a distance, trembled, and said to Ah Hou beside him: "It's late today, I still have something to do with the second young master, or you can stay with me tonight, and then go to see the second young master tomorrow." ”
Ah Hou nodded, his eyes were slightly red, and said, "Thank you Brother Xiaozhong for helping me." ”
Xiao Zhong sighed and patted Ah Hou's shoulder: "Don't worry, your sister is taken care of in Butterfly Love, Ah Cai's father was originally a doctor, and there are all kinds of medicines in the store, so it's okay to have a little skin injury." ”
Ah Hou wanted to open his mouth to thank him, but when he thought of his sister coming to him today, his throat choked directly. His little sister, when he left home, was only five years old. Now a fifteen-year-old girl, her hands and feet are full of chilblains, and several places have rotted, and her hands are as rough as an old woman.
Today, his sister used such a pair of hands to return the money he gave to his father for the New Year: "My brother doesn't have to give money to the family anymore." My sister is about to get married, and she will go to the landlord's house to enjoy happiness. ”
His sister had walked all the way from his home to the capital, and the carriage could only travel back and forth in a day, and he didn't know how much his sister had suffered along the way. A girl who has never left home, her shoes on the soles of her feet are worn out, and she is even more hungry and has not eaten for I don't know how long...... Where is she marrying to be happy? She was sold by her father!
When he saw his sister become like that, he almost rushed out and slaughtered the family! He's given them so much money over the years, and that's how they treat his sister! That kind of scum doesn't deserve to be their dad at all!
Xiao Zhong walked in front with a lantern to lead the way, listening to the sound of Ah Hou snorting slightly behind him, and sighed silently in his heart.
After a long time, Ah Hou said: "Brother Xiaozhong, I have thought clearly. When the time comes, let my sister sell into the palace and be a rough girl. "Even being a slave is better than being his father's daughter.
