Chapter Seventy-Five: Visiting
She led the two to the front yard, pointed to the small bunch of vegetables and said, "The vegetables and vegetables that my family eats on weekdays are basically grown here." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Li Mingqian seemed very interested, and identified the varieties one by one, which surprised Wang Jin. I thought that a rich kid like him would definitely not be able to divide the grains!
"Hmm... What is it? Li Mingqian pointed to a few clay pots on the side of the wall, and some dwarf green grass grew densely in the clay pots.
"This one is mint." Wang Jin walked over, picked a leaf, handed it to Li Mingqian, and said, "It is also called Yindancao." It can be made into tea, clear the heart and eyes, and it can also be used in dishes, which is cool and fishy. You sniff it. ”
Li Mingqian put the leaves under his nose and sniffed lightly, and sure enough, there was a pleasant fresh breath, which was extremely refreshing.
"It's a good thing, why haven't I seen it before?" Li Mingqian was slightly puzzled.
"This is also something I stumbled upon, and I dug it up and planted it, and I don't use it much on weekdays. It seems to be a kind of medicinal herb, and I don't usually use it at home. Wang explained.
Li Mingqian bowed slightly, handed the leaf in his hand to Sui Xing, and followed Wang Jin towards the back of the courtyard.
The big jujube tree in the yard was ripe, and Wang Hibiscus and his younger brothers and sisters picked all the fruits that could be picked a few days ago, and sent them to the villagers, neighbors and long-term workers, and kept some food for themselves, and some Wang Hibiscus was left to make dates. At this time, there was still some fruit hanging on the tree, because it was difficult to reach the location to survive.
"If you had come a few days earlier, you would have dates to eat. The family has eaten all the food they had picked before. Seeing Li Mingqian stopping and looking up under the tree, Wang Jin smiled slightly.
"Not necessarily." Li Mingqian hooked his lips and smiled, and saw Suixing on the side standing up, straight into the canopy, and after shaking his body a few times, he fell to the ground, and the hem of his clothes was already filled with more than a dozen egg-sized dates.
Good Kung Fu! Wang Jin secretly praised. Seeing that Suixing picked so many dates, she ran into the house and took a small basket for him, and said with a smile: "Your kung fu is really good, you can take all these you pick, the taste is very sweet." ”
Suixing glanced at Li Mingqian, then took the basket and put it into the dates, and thanked him softly.
"Click"
Wang Jin followed the sound.
Li Mingqian didn't know when he took a jujube and took a bite directly, looking quite satisfied: "Hmm... It's really sweet and crunchy. ”
"Li Gongzi... This date hasn't been washed yet! Wang Jin couldn't help but remind.
"It doesn't matter. It's not bad to eat. Li Mingqian said disappreliantly, perhaps, it would be better to eat badly.
Wang Jin had no choice but to take them and continue to the courtyard.
Walking to the stove, they were greeted by all kinds of knives, dishes, stoves and wide stoves, and Li Mingqian and Suixing felt like they had arrived in the kitchen of the restaurant.
"It's... It's all dishes? Sui Xing walked to a one-person-high wooden shelf, looked at the dazzling array of sets of dishes of various colors and styles, and said in surprise.
"Yes, I couldn't help but buy beautiful porcelain when I saw it, and I bought it all in sets, and gradually I saved so much." Wang Jinwan said with a smile.
Do you like porcelain? Li Mingqian on the side seemed to have a flash of light in his eyes.
His gaze swept over the stove.
Spatulas and colanders hang neatly on the hooks of wooden shelves on the wall, on which are placed several wooden boxes containing dried chilies, garlic, ginger and salt and sugar.
There are several blue and white porcelain oil cans on the stove below, and you can't see the inside, so you think they should be filled with different oils. In the wooden rack next to the oil tank are several knives and two scissors, and a round wooden cutting board stands against the wall.
The stove was extremely clean, there was not a trace of oil smoke stains, and even the rags on the stove were as white as new.
There is a small pile of firewood and a basket of pine needles neatly stacked on the side of the stove, and the fire marks at the stove are obvious, which should be caused by frequent use.
Next to it, there are two stoves, one large and one small, with a clay pot on each stove. The wooden basket by the hearth contained some black charcoal, which was almost at the bottom. There was a small round table in front of the stove, and five or six small bamboo stools were placed next to the table, which should be the dining table.
Li Mingqian walked to the table and saw that chopsticks and spoons were neatly placed in the rectangular porcelain box on the table. Rectangular porcelain is actually rare, why did Wang Jin's family have it? Moreover, many of the shapes, styles and patterns of the porcelain in her collection are not common on the market or even in the Jokhang territory. He suddenly remembered her relationship with Miss Zhu, and he was slightly surprised.
"All these things are for girls?" Li Mingqian turned around and asked with a smile.
Wang Jin nodded: "I like to dig into the kitchen when I have nothing to do, and I use more things on the stove." ”
Li Mingqian looked at Wang Jin, and the smile in his eyes seemed to be deeper.
"The gentleman is far away from cooking, so let's go shopping elsewhere with me." For some reason, Wang Jin felt a little uncomfortable, and didn't want them to stay here.
Because there was a chicken pen at the other end of the courtyard, she took Li Mingqian and the others into the courtyard and sat down under the acacia tree.
"Squeak-" The sound of the door opening was heard.
She followed the sound and saw that the door of the main house where the Chen family lived was opened. Xiao Wang Tang was standing at the door, rubbing his eyes, and shaking his little body in a daze.
With a hint of pampering on her face, she walked quickly to Wang Tang's side, squatted down and hugged her, and coaxed softly: "Little lazy pig, are you awake?" ”
"Hmm." Wang Tang, who had just gotten up, was flushed from sleep, and he didn't want to speak, so he just lay on the eldest sister's shoulder and snorted softly.
"Eldest sister will take you to wash your face, okay?" Her voice was soft, soft, like a feather brushing over her ears.
Wang Tang twisted his small body and snorted softly.
She couldn't help laughing, picked up Wang Tang, and smiled at Li Mingqian: "Two of you, I'll clean my sister's face." ”
By the pool, Wang Jin gently wiped Wang Tang's face and hands with a wet towel, and seeing that she was almost awake, she touched her soft hair and said gently: "Tang'er, there are two guests at home today, can Tang'er help my sister greet her together?" ”
"Good!" Wang Tang said crisply, having recovered from his drowsiness.
Holding Wang Jin's hand, Wang Tang walked up to Li Mingqian and the others, without fear of life, squinting his eyes and shouting sweetly: "Hello two big brothers!" ”
She was born Yuxue cute, and she was extremely lively and laughing, and she was able to sell cute. Li Mingqian and Suixing naturally had to be recruited.
Li Mingqian leaned down, and his smile became more and more gentle: "Hehe, what's your name?" ”
"My name is Wang Tang, the tang of Begonia, not the sugar of honey!" Wang Tang is serious.
"Oh? Do you know how to read? Li Mingqian asked with a smile.
"Tang'er's own name is recognized, and the other words are that they know me, I don't know them!" Wang Tang is still confident.
"Poof-" Suixing couldn't help laughing out loud because of her small appearance, and Wang Jian and Li Mingqian couldn't help but smile at each other.
Li Mingqian smiled: What did you teach?
Wang Jinxiao: Famous teachers make high apprentices!
Suixing smiled and found that this cute little girl had been looking at herself, to be precise, at her own hands.
He subconsciously glanced at it, only to find that she was looking at the basket of dates in his hand, and he couldn't help but feel more interesting in his heart.
He stood up and said to Li Mingqian: "Childe, I'll go wash this date." ”
Looking at Wang Tang's big eyes staring at the dates, he also felt interesting and bowed slightly.
"Tang'er, didn't you just eat dates a few days ago?" Wang Jian had already noticed Wang Tang's little eyes, helpless and funny.
"Yes!" Wang Tang nodded.
"Then why do you keep staring at the dates in your big brother's hand?"
Wang Tang's dark eyes rolled, and he said childishly to Wang Jin: "Because the dates are round and red, and they are beautiful!" ”
"Then the big brother will wash the dates later, and Tang'er will see if it's okay?" Wang Jin said with a smile.
Wang Tang couldn't help pursing his mouth, pinching the hem of his clothes with his little hands, bowing his head and frowning his little brows and trying to think of countermeasures.
Suddenly, she raised her head and showed an innocent smile to Li Mingqian: "Big brother, do you know that there may be worms in the jujubes?" ”
Li Mingqian was slightly stunned, a hint of interest flashed in his eyes, and he said softly: "Hmm... I've heard of it. ”
Wang Tang's eyes lit up: "Then let Tang'er help you pick dates, Tang'er will pick dates with insects!" ”
At this time, Suixing had already walked over with the washed dates, Wang Tang immediately ran to him and took the small basket, his little hands picked and chose in it, and after stuffing a few dates into his pocket, he returned the small basket to Suixing, and said crisply: "Okay, I picked out all the bezoars with worms, big brother, you can eat them with confidence!" ”
Wang Jian and Li Mingqian could see clearly, the dates that Wang Tang stuffed into his pocket were big and red, and they grew very well, where were the insects. He couldn't help laughing, and looked at Wang Jian with a playful look: "This is also what you taught?" ”
Wang Jin also smiled, but his smile was a little embarrassed and helpless: "It's clear that there is no teacher!" ”
Without waiting for a few of them to speak, Wang Tang said crisply: "Tang'er is going to throw away these bad dates, and I will come back to play with the big brothers later!" Then he staggered and ran into the front yard and disappeared.
Sui Xing didn't react at first, but he also knew where Wang Tang was singing, and he couldn't help grinning.
"Don't you have to go with me?" Li Mingqian asked.
"It's okay, I must have gone to Xiaocao's house to play." Wang Jian shook his head with a smile, and said, "The hour is almost up, let's go to the granary." ”
Li Mingqian nodded, got up and followed Wang Jian out the door.
Suixing looked at the dates in the basket with some distress, and finally gritted his teeth and poured all the dates into his clothes, and followed heavily.
