Chapter 63: Love Buns
Mu Xiang held the bowl in one hand, pointed at her with the other, and pointed from her face to Chen Mei'e's face, "You stinky mother-in-law are itchy again, right, since your men don't dare to beat you, then I will do it for you, although today is the day when my family starts work, but I don't mind, start beating people!" She rolled up her sleeves, and it looked like she was going to hit someone.
Liu suddenly remembered what Liu He said when he came back from hunting, he said: Mu Xiang is the most prey among them, and the archery is more accurate than Wang Xi, and she didn't believe it at that time. But just a few days ago, Wang Xi and the others carried a leopard that was blinded in the eye, and said that Mu Xiang was shot by an arrow, and they said this twice in a row, and they were not afraid of losing the face of the old man.
Now seeing that Mu Xiang is not afraid of the number of them at all, and he is about to fight when he rolls up his sleeves, Liu Shi believes it even if he doesn't believe it, "I'm ...... The old lady doesn't fight with you a girl, my family still has a job, I have to go home. ”
Liu ran faster than a rabbit, and even forgot about Mu Xiang pouring her tea, it seems that he really confessed to Mu Xiang.
Several other mothers-in-law saw that the Liu family had run away, how could they dare to stay for a long time, and they all shirked and said that there was something at home.
Just as they were about to run away, Mu Xiang had already sneered and walked towards Chen Mei'e. As soon as they saw that there was a good show to watch, the mothers-in-law ran halfway through, and they all stopped, waiting not far away to see the show.
Chen Mei'e's face changed, and she hurriedly put away the soles of her shoes, after all, Mu Xiang was her junior, and she didn't want to show Xiàn's too much of a, so she stiffened her neck and yelled at her: "What do you think I'm doing?" I didn't say it, don't think that the old lady is afraid of you if she doesn't care about you! ”
Mu Xiang clasped her hands on her chest, and walked to her slowly, Qi Liuhai, who had just been cut, lined her with a beautiful little face, "You are really good and the scar has forgotten the pain, I will warn you again in the end, if you can't control your mouth, I will take back the mansion, just right, I think my yard is small, if I can take the mansion back, the two sides are connected, oops, this time the house is big enough, but what, I take the mansion back, but there is nothing to do with you, don't blame me for driving you out!" ”
"You! You unfilial daughter, the mansion is not yours, it's ours, you want to come back, you dream, hum, you wait, wait for my family to get married, see how arrogant you can be! Chen Mei'e hated that she didn't have a knife in her hand, otherwise she would definitely be unable to help but stab this girl a few times.
Su Xiu listened to Zhao Xiuwen's words, and stayed at home obediently, being her bride-to-be with peace of mind.
Hearing Chen Mei'e making noise outside, she stomped her feet angrily, she didn't want to care, but when she thought of the Zhao family's reputation, if she was picked out by others, she would definitely be embarrassed when she turned back.
There was no way, she had to rush out and grab Chen Mei'e and say a few words in her ear.
Although Chen Mei'e couldn't be angry, if she changed her previous temper, she would have to scold outside Mu Xiang's house for a day and a night. But this will be for Su Xiu to marry into the Zhao family safely, she doesn't want to endure it, and she has to endure it.
This little episode, Mu Xiang didn't care about it at all.
The people who work have to eat at her house at noon, and the seven or eight old men are also working, and the amount of food is very large.
Da Mei came over in the morning, on the one hand, she helped Mu Xiang cook rice, on the other hand, her brother and father were here, she didn't bother to go back to cook, and at the same time helped Mu Xiang cook rice, she also ate a bite herself.
She can come to help, Mu Xiang is naturally happy. Otherwise, she and Caiyun alone would not be able to keep busy at all.
Wang Xi's mother offered to help, but was persuaded by Mu Xiang to go back, Wang Xi's family also fed a pig, some ducks and geese, plus a paralyzed wife in the kang, his family's work was enough for Grandma Wang's busy. When steaming the buns at noon, Mu Xiang asked Mu Lang to send some over, which was a little heart.
Jin Ju can't stay in Mu Xiang's house for a long time, the courtyard is full of a group of big men, she is about to leave the cabinet, so naturally she can't stay for a long time. When she came in the morning, she was still carrying her mother. So she was busy for a while in the morning, and then went home, only saying that she would come back in the afternoon.
The field where Mu Xiang came back from Li Dashan's hand is now planted with four kinds of winter vegetables. It's a pity that it's not growing well, and it can't be eaten as a dish yet.
Fortunately, the cabbage seeds scattered in her vegetable garden are all ready to eat, and coriander and spinach can also be eaten. Because when the seeds were sown, they were sown relatively densely, and after the vegetable seedlings grew, they could pick vegetables from dense places to eat. In this way, it is beneficial for the remaining vegetable seedlings to grow.
There is a tofu workshop in Zuojiazhuang, Muxiang went to buy a lot of tofu on the first day, soaked it in salt water, and changed the water every day, so that the freshness of the tofu can be maintained for many days. The proprietress of this tofu shop is very smart, and she also pressed a lot of dried tofu, which is only one-third the thickness of tofu.
Mu Xiang bought a lot of dried tofu, soaked in salted water for a day and a night, and then took it to the sun to dry, and then steamed salted fish, or stir-fried vegetables can be put in some.
The blooming season of wild chrysanthemums has passed, Mu Xiang calculated her harvest this season, and Tang Mo paid her a total of ten taels of silver, of course, she didn't treat Tang Mo badly. Each wild chrysanthemum was turned by her and Caiyun with her own hands and dried with her own eyes, so to speak, each one is a fine product.
The rest of the work has been put on hold for now, and now the most important thing is cooking.
The materials were all handed over to Wang Xi and Lin Changshuo, where there was not enough, where there was more, and how to do this work, they all discussed. As for Lin Fugui, he is the backbone of the engineering team, and Lin Changshui and Wang Xi have to ask for his opinion when they can't make up their minds.
Seeing them do it in an orderly manner, Mu Xiangxin also became steady.
Caiyun moved a stool and placed a large basin in front of him, which was the noodles that had been prepared last night. As the weather gets colder, the dough has to be reconciled on the first day, otherwise it will be too late the next day. Caiyun pondered it twice, felt that it felt right, and asked, "Eldest sister, shall we do it now?" ”
Mu Xiang held the dustpan in his arms and turned back to the kitchen, "Let's do it, when the steaming is done, put it in the bucket, and turn around to cover a few layers of cloth, so that it won't be cold." ”
Caiyun nodded and continued to carry her noodles, "Oh, these noodles we have are enough to steam a lot of steamed buns!" ”
Mu Xiang put down the dustpan and scooped water into the cauldron, "Steam more, and if you want to eat it again, it's hot." "Even if the bun is cold, it is very convenient to re-steam it.
Mu Lang squatted at the door of the inner room, twitching his chin, watching the two of them work, suddenly he stood up and ran out, "I'm going to get firewood!" ”
Caiyun smiled and didn't squeak, Mu Lang has become more and more diligent recently, and his eyes can see that he is alive, even if they don't say it, he can find something to do himself.
It didn't take long for Mu Lang to come in with a bundle of firewood, followed by a person, Liu Erdan.
Caiyun pursed her lips, lowered her head and rubbed her dough, ignoring him.
Mu Lang shouted: "Sister, Brother Erdan has come to help, you see that he hugged a lot!" ”
Liu Erdan smiled hesitantly and put the firewood at the door of the pot, "Sister Mu Xiang, I'll take Mu Lang to collect firewood later, there are so many people eating at your house, there must not be enough firewood outside." ”
Mu Xiang smiled and nodded, "Then thank you, come back to eat, it just so happens that your brother is also there." "Liu He is also one of the small workers, although he has no skills, but he has strength.
Liu Erdan is not polite, he is happy to respond, anyway, just do more work for her.
Seeing that the water in the pot was almost underwater, Mu Xiang and Caiyun took the dough out of the big basin and placed it on the small table in the kitchen, sprinkled flour on it, and kneaded it back and forth.
Making steamed buns is not a laborious task in the first place, but if you do too much, just kneading the dough can make people tired. No, by the time Mu Xiang cut the first pot of steamed buns with a knife and stacked them on the steamer of the cauldron, she and Caiyun were already tired and sweaty.
Mu Xiang felt sorry for her sister, so she asked her to go to the fire, and she cut the next pot of steamed buns.
Today's noodles have been steamed all morning, and there are more than 200 of them. This steamed bun is different from the one that is distributed to the villagers in the morning. The steamed buns are relatively small, and they were steamed in the first two days, so they are not too fresh.
After steaming the steamed buns, the next step is to stir-fry.
It is convenient to have an earthen stove at home, which is basically steamed in a pot, except for a few vegetables that need to be fried separately, the others are basically steamed out by her with sauce. Especially the dried shrimp paste steamed with soybean paste. Sandwiched in the steamed bun, eating the last meal.
At noon, the workers ate very well, and they all said that the food of the main family was better than that of their own family, and that the work was energetic.
There were so many more people in the courtyard at once, and Mu Xiang didn't feel anything. is not like other female babies, pretentious and timid. After eating, she also helped Wang Xi to work.
To build a house, you have to dig the foundation first, and all they are digging all day today. When the foundation is dug and tamped, it is time to build a house. The countrymen are very sincere, the hearts of the people are also very simple, when they work, they don't think about being lazy, and the food provided by Muxiang is very good, so everyone works hard and hard.
In the evening, Xiaoliu came over with a carriage. Mu Xiang didn't expect him to come, it is said that she has no business to do with Fushoulou recently, and since she saw them once on the mountain last time, they haven't crossed paths. Although she did feel that Helian at the beginning, he saved her life. But it is also limited to gratitude, people like them have definitely not a simple identity, and she is just a little village girl.
Xiaoliu didn't know what she was thinking, so she threw down the horsewhip and saw that her yard was so lively as soon as she entered the door, "Hey, it seems that I delivered this dish at the right time!" ”
Mu Xiang was stunned, "Delivering food?" She ran to the carriage, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and saw that there was divided pork, which weighed half a pig! In addition to pork, there were also some greens, two bags of rice, two bags of white flour, and some small bits and pieces.
The corners of Mu Xiang's eyes jumped, "Uh, do you want money for these dishes?" ”
Xiao Liu stood there stupidly, as if she didn't expect her to ask like this, and after holding back for a while, he said, "Of course I don't want money, this is from my young master." ”
Mu Xiang put down the curtain of the car and looked back at him, "Since you don't want money, then I'll take it," she said, she called Caiyun out, and Da Mei went home to feed the pigs.
Caiyun ran out of the house, she was boiling water, and she was still holding a piece of firewood in her hand, "What's wrong?" ”
Mu Xiang pointed to the carriage, "Come and move things, someone will bring us food, don't be in vain!" ”
Her words made Xiaoliu speechless. I don't ask why I want to send it, I don't ask what the purpose is, I just want to move things in. This wooden girl is really not an ordinary person!
Of course, Mu Xiang is not an ordinary person, it is not enough to ask Caiyun to move things, seeing Xiao Liu standing there in a daze, he easily stuffed two large pieces of pork into his hand, and said in an unhappy tone: "What are you doing in a daze?" Hurry up and work, I'll make you fresh meat buns to eat later! ”
"Huh? Oh," Xiao Liu looked at the two large balls of white flesh that suddenly appeared in his hand, his head paused for a moment, and he obediently held the meat and sent it to the kitchen.
But he felt that something was wrong, and when he finished moving the things in the carriage, he suddenly remembered something, ran to Mu Xiang, and tried to ask: "That, aren't you curious, why did my young master give you something?" In fact, Tang Mo told him when he was leaving, the things were delivered, at least let the girl owe herself a favor.
Mu Xiangbai glanced at him, and said nonchalantly: "I'm not curious, the thing was sent by you, and I didn't ask for it, don't worry, I don't have that much curiosity, because I heard a saying, curiosity kills cats." With that, she turned around and carried the bucket to fetch water from the river.
When he walked to the courtyard, Lin Chang tied the shovel handle and teased: "Mu Xiang, you are so generous, do you want to roast meat for us to eat at night?" ”
As soon as he said this, the people next to him followed suit. Eating meat, that's something they don't usually dare to think about. Among the people who laughed, there was no Wang Xi, he only cared about working with his head bored, he didn't even raise his head, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Mu Xiang faced the laughter of a group of old men, that is, he was not shy or restrained, and said generously: "I will roast meat for you later, but you have to work harder, how much pork you burn, it depends on how much work you do!" ”
Lin Changzhuan waved his hand, "You just have to rest assured about the work, we are all big men, and no one is lazy and slippery." ”
This is the truth, the situation of Mu Xiang's family is clear to everyone present. A teenage girl, with her younger siblings, is struggling to support the family. Now that life is better and they can afford to build a house, they admire it from the bottom of their hearts. In addition, Mu Xiang can be a person, and the meals prepared for them are all white-flour steamed buns that can't be eaten at home. For these two points, they also have to work hard, otherwise this old face will really lose a lot of hair.
Xiaoliu had something to say to Mu Xiang, so he followed her to the river to fetch water. Of course, when I came back, the bucket was carried by Xiao Liu.
He's a man, he can't watch other girls carry water, and he walks empty-handed, right?
Mu Xiang was not polite to him, someone helped with the work, she couldn't ask for it!
Xiao Liu's words came to his mouth, and he couldn't bear it after a few endurances, so he had to obediently say Tang's words, "That, my young master said, if you have any difficulties in building a house, just sue him, don't think about it, he looks at you pitiful, and has no other meaning!" "The previous words are Tang Mo's original words, and the later words have Xiaoliu's own meaning in them.
Let's ask, who doesn't want to marry into the Tang family to be a young grandmother, even if she doesn't want to be a young grandmother, she is a concubine, and she is much more beautiful than the wife of an ordinary family. Although Xiao Liu also saw that Mu Xiang was different from other girls, he had met many people, and he was not sure if Mu Xiang had that meaning in his heart. In case she thought that the young master had sent something, it was interesting to her, and she would go back and fight again, then she would suffer.
Seeing that he was almost home, Mu Xiang was not in a hurry, and slowly walked beside Xiao Liu, savoring what he had just said.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Xiao Liu thought that he had said something to the point, and hurriedly added, "I heard that the young master has made a marriage, it is a baby kiss set when I was a child, and the power of that family is not small, so ah, you still take back your thoughts, and it is important to live a good life!" "Heaven and earth can be seen, he is sincere, Mu Xiang is a very good girl. If he hadn't been forced to do it, he wouldn't have wanted to say those hurtful words.
Mu Xiang was stunned, thinking of what Xiao Liu said, he couldn't hold back for a while, holding his stomach and laughing.
Oh, my God! She really can't imagine what a person like Tang Mo looked like when she was a child. It's so pitiful to be stamped with a private seal at such a young age.
Xiao Liu still had a flat shoulder on her shoulders, and she was almost out of breath when she smiled, and she was very puzzled. Did he say anything? Is it so funny to set a baby kiss? In fact, he also ordered a baby kiss, and the girl is still in her hometown!
Mu Xiang laughed for a while, she couldn't stand it anymore, she held on to the courtyard wall, and waited until she was out of breath before she said, "It's too ...... It's so funny...... You go back and tell your young master, I'm waiting to drink his happy wine, but I don't have money to give gifts, the pork he gave today, when my house is built another day, if he wants, I'll invite him to dinner," she finished speaking, and was about to enter the house, when she suddenly stopped, turned around and stared at Xiao Liu with strange eyes, "To be honest, I really didn't like the honor of your young master, you can help bring it to him, bring it to him as it is!" ”
At the end of the day, she was a little angry. What kind of person thinks that he is rich and good-looking, and no one has to marry him? Nervous, no, I think she has lived for two lifetimes, what kind of handsome guy and beautiful man have never seen, if you really want to talk about it, the one named Helian is much more attractive than Tang Mo.
Mu Xiang was quiet in her thoughts, thinking about it, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, she seemed to have mentioned Helian many times recently. They had only met three times, although on two occasions, she had hugged them. But in general, they don't understand.
This idea can't be had, Mu Xiang shook her head, and when she came back to her senses, she saw Xiao Liu looking at her like a monster. Mu Xiang didn't bother to explain, so he asked Xiao Liu to pick up a few buckets of water, and didn't let him go back until the big water tank under the eaves of the porch was full.
Xiaoliu was not hurt, Mu Xiang promised to make him meat buns to eat, and he had no reason to go back on an empty stomach.
There is still some dough left in the steamed bun in the morning, because it will be lunch, so the remaining noodles are left, Mu Xiang originally planned to make some sugar cakes in the afternoon, but since there is pork, he began to make big meat buns.
When she was making steamed buns, she saw that Xiaoliu was idle, so she asked him to help with the work. When building a house, you are afraid of bad weather, so you have to do more when the weather is good. Besides, Mu Xiang is not a very kind person, so he doesn't have to be in vain.
Da Mei finished her work at home, came to help her cook dinner, and as soon as she entered the kitchen, she saw half a pot full of pork in a wooden basin on the ground. She thought it was bought by Mu Xiang, and she sighed. But when I heard that Tang Mo asked someone to send it, Mu Xiang's eyes suddenly changed, "I'll just say, this Young Master Tang is not simple to you, you didn't believe it at the beginning, this time you believe it, you can hit the luck this time, and call the person surnamed Zhao to regret it in the future!" ”
Mu Xiang was standing at the table and stomping on the stuffing, and said disappreciatively: "You think too much, they are in business, do you think this meat is given away for free?" To put it bluntly, this is called winning people's hearts, I helped them make a table of dishes that day, if they want to get a recipe, they can't spend some money, this is called reluctant to children, can't set the wolf. ”
Da Mei later knew a little about it, but she didn't know what it was. Now listening to Mu Xiang's words, it seems to make sense, but she is still unwilling, and persuades her: "What you said is not entirely right, maybe the surname Tang really likes you?" Since you have this opportunity, you have to take advantage of it, if you grasp it well, maybe you can enter the Tang family! I've heard people say that his maidservants wear silk clothes, and if you think about it, how rich they are. ”
Mu Xiang shook her head and denied her opinion, "The high threshold of the Tang family, how can people born like us enter, don't even think about it, there are many troubles in the rich family, competing for favor and jealousy, even if you have a child, you have to be careful, I don't want to give it to me on such days, women, don't always think about relying on others, we also have hands and feet, why rely on them?" Besides, can men be trusted? If the man can be reliable, the sow will go up the tree, I would rather rely on myself, and when I have money, I will go to business, just do the restaurant business, with my cooking skills, Fushoulou also has to stand aside! ”
Da Mei was stunned by her bold words, Mu Xiang stood in front of her, when she spoke, her eyes flashed with proud confidence, and there was a faint circle of golden light around her body, which felt different. Da Mei looked adoring, swallowed her saliva, and said, "That Mu Xiang, can I do it with you?" She can see that Mu Xiang is not talking big, she has that strength and that courage, and the reason why she is still a small village girl is a matter of time.
Mu Xiang smiled and said: "Cheng, as long as you are bold enough, not afraid of hardship, and can take care of things, I will take you to do it in the future, and when you have money, are you afraid that you will not be able to find Ruyi Langjun?" ”
"Speak well, why are you mentioning this again," Da Mei was shy, her eyes glanced around, but she didn't dare to look at Mu Xiang, she glanced at it for a while, and casually looked towards the courtyard.
Recently, the weather has been getting cooler, and I have to wear two clothes when I go out. But the people who work are different, they are tired of doing the work. Wang Xi simply took off his coat, went shirtless, and worked hard there. He is tall, with two arms, and because of his long years of work, his muscles are very obvious, and he looks like a man with strength.
Da Mei looked at it, and her eyes straightened.
Under the eaves, Xiao Liu ran over to drink water, and what the two of them said made him hear. Especially the paragraph that Mu Xiang said, it almost made him choke. This is so wonderful that he must go back and tell his master.
Mu Xiang didn't know that someone was going to tell her, she finished stomping the stuffing and was about to make steamed buns, when she looked up, she saw Da Mei staring at the yard, and followed her gaze to know that she was looking at Wang Xi.
"Hey," she turned around Da Mei's arm, "If you like it, chase it, otherwise when someone else snatches it, you won't even have a chance to regret it." ”
Da Mei blushed as if she was about to drip blood, lowered her head and muttered, "What are you talking about, I'm just looking at it casually." ”
Mu Xiang mentioned her while wrapping the buns, "It is said that men chase women in the compartment mountain, women chase men in the compartment yarn, Wang Xi is not young, I heard Grandma Wang say that she has entrusted the matchmaker, saying that this time no matter what, you have to find a daughter-in-law for Wang Xi, think about it yourself, if Grandma Wang has to set up a family affair for Brother Wang Xi, can he still object?" The first strike is stronger, and the second strike, but it's gone. ”
Da Mei pulled off her braid irritably, "I know what you said, but the person Wang likes is you, not me, what do you tell me to do?" I can't just ask him to like it, can I? ”
Mu Xiang thought about it, she was right, Wang Xi didn't seem to mean anything to Da Mei, but in her opinion, Wang Xi and Da Mei were a perfect pair. Sometimes, the combination of two people does not necessarily have to love each other much, the key is that they have to be suitable and can live a down-to-earth life, "That's it, find an opportunity, I'll make it clear to him, but you also have to work harder, understand?" ”
Da Mei's face turned even redder, but soon, she picked up her shy feelings, and patted Mu Xiang's shoulder happily, "I know that you are interesting, you can rest assured, your business will be my business in the future, they men can be brothers, we can also be good sisters, you sister, I admit it, if anyone bullies you in the future, it will bully me Da Mei, you see how I teach them!" ”
Da Mei is a very simple person, she doesn't have many thoughts, and she is very arrogant. Although she sometimes speaks very bluntly, she has no bad intentions and is sincere to people. That's the kind of thing, if you treat her well, she will return you a good point, but if you treat her badly, don't expect her to give you a good face.
At first, Da Mei was interested in Mu Xiang, that is, between neighbors, and they had known each other since childhood, and they were also playmates. Seeing Mu Xiang's family in difficulty, Li Dashan treated them like that, and she sympathized with Mu Xiang. However, because of Wang Xi's matter, her feelings for Mu Xiang are a little complicated, a little jealous, and a little envious. Now that she heard that Mu Xiang didn't have any mustard at all and wanted to match her with Wang Xi, she felt that she was too small-bellied chicken intestines before.
Mu Xiang didn't think about it so much, looking at the arrogance on her face, she couldn't help but feel funny, "Okay, let's not go to fight, hurry up and steam the buns, you see I'm all wrapped, you will help me salt the rest later, it's not winter yet, it's been put aside for a long time, I'm afraid it will taste." ”
"Hey, I know, I'll leave these to me," Da Mei readily agreed, and even bent down to carry the big wooden basin to the yard.
Caiyun watched them work outside, so Mu Xiang called her in to light the fire, and both of them were stunned when they saw Da Mei's energy. This girl doesn't know the convergence point, and she is not a male baby. What do you want to do with so much energy!
The woody bun filling is the pork belly, the fat is thick, the lean meat is not firewood, mixed with fresh coriander, and then stamped some dried red peppers, the taste is definitely fresh and spicy.
Seeing that it was almost evening, the workers were ready to call it a day, but they could smell a strong smell of meat buns wafting from the kitchen, and who could move their feet.
Mu Xiang knew that they were embarrassed to come in, so he asked Caiyun to straddle the bamboo basket, stuffed them with three buns each, and left them to eat on the road, and even Wang Xi and Lin Changzhuan also got them. Lin Changzhuan was not polite, he took a bite when he got his hand, and said that it was too fragrant, more fragrant than the ones in the town who specialize in making steamed buns.
Wang Xi looked at the buns stuffed into his hand by Caiyun, in fact, he didn't mind if Mu Xiang didn't give him the buns, he didn't give them or gave them less, and he didn't treat them equally.
The others got the buns, packed up their tools and left. Wang Xi was a little slower and fell behind, Lin Fugui also walked in front, and Lin Changshui walked slower because he had to wait for his sister, so he walked slowly and walked with Wang Xi.
Mu Xiang picked two buns from the pot and handed them to Damei, and said to Nunu in the yard, "Don't go yet!" "This girl is sluggish in some ways, since she likes others, then she has to seize the time, seize the opportunity, don't be attentive at this time, and wait when?
Da Mei smiled shyly, took the bun, and chased after Wang Xi.
After Xiao Liu finished work, he was squatting at the door of the kitchen, and when he saw that they were all leaving with buns, he was extremely depressed, "Sister Muxiang, what about mine, should you want to regret it!" ”
Mu Xiang glared at him angrily, and pointed to the big table, a bamboo flat wrapped in a rag, "Am I the one who doesn't count?" For the sake of your master's gift of a lot of flour, I gave you the most, remember, when I go back, remember to take it and ask your young master first, I think he will definitely not eat it, but then again, do you understand? "To put it bluntly, it's just polite words. Whether he eats or not is his business, whether I ask or not, that's my business. I asked, and he couldn't speak ill of him anymore.
The corners of Xiao Liu's mouth twitched, thinking: You do a better job than me on the surface. But he dared to say these words in his heart, but in front of Mu Xiang, he didn't dare to say it. That's weird. If you want to talk about Mu Xiang's identity, she is an ordinary country girl, the clothes she wears are all patched, she has never studied in private school, and she is not very old. But it was such a person, when she stood in front of her, Xiaoliu couldn't help but lower her head, not because of her weak heart, but because of her temperament.
The bamboo flat prepared by Mu Xiang for Xiao Liu contained twenty buns, which should be enough. People of Tang Mo and Heliansheng's status will definitely not look at it, and in the end, this bun doesn't have to fall into Xiao Liu's stomach. As for why she has to pretend to be twenty, naturally she doesn't want the people in Fushoulou to say that she is stingy. Xiaoliu sent these things today, and the people in Fushoulou must know.
After taking the things, it was almost dark, Xiao Liu didn't dare to delay, grabbed a bun with one hand and stuffed it into his mouth to fill his stomach, waved the horsewhip with the other, and drove the carriage back.
When I returned to Linxian Town, it was dark.
The evening is also the most lively time of Fushou Building, the guests shuttle through, the stream is endless, the hall downstairs, almost all are full, there are those who check out and leave, and there are also groups of three or five, enter the door to eat.
The second floor of Fushou Building is relatively quiet.
No matter how busy and chaotic the downstairs is, the most luxurious private room upstairs is still silent.
Tang Mo has his own private residence in Fushou Building, at the most secluded corner on the second floor, connected to an elegant courtyard at the back, there is a hole in it, ordinary people can't see anything.
Xiao Liu returned to the restaurant, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately held the bamboo flat and went to the small courtyard. The bamboo flat quilt is very good, there is no ventilation, and it is still hot. Xiao Liu couldn't help but steal two on the road, anyway, his young master wouldn't touch this kind of thing, he ate it, and when he returned to the young master, these buns were not all his.
When Xiao Liu came in, Tang Mo and He Liansheng were playing chess, and they were at the point of life and death, one side attacked strongly, but the defense was also leaky, making people impeccable. One side is tightly guarded and does not give the other party a chance to take advantage of it. The two sides are in such a stalemate, but those who are well versed in chess can vaguely see that the side that is defending is actually falling into the enemy's trap.
Tang Mo had a bright smile on his face, with a white child between his fingers, although he was laughing, the look of chagrin in his eyes revealed his situation at the moment.
Helian Sheng is tall, his eyebrows are heroic, and his gestures all show the atmosphere of aristocracy, and the murderous aura he is contaminated with on the battlefield is too heavy, even if he doesn't speak, a single look is enough to scare people's legs.
Xiao Liu stood at the door, and he had a lot to say, but when he saw the expressions of these two, the words were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't spit them out. He had to retreat outside, thinking that he would come in after they finished playing chess, and the bun was a little cold, so he had to go and warm it up.
In fact, he still hasn't figured it out, his young master looks like such a gentle and elegant son, and this Helian son, who is a famous general in the Southern Jin Dynasty, kills people on the battlefield like pinching an ant to death, I heard that there are countless people who died at his hands. These two people don't look like they go all the way in terms of temperament or appearance. But now, they are sitting together and playing against each other, can it not be blamed?
As soon as the word was settled, Tang Mo's strict defense failed to withstand Helian Sheng's attack after all.
He was very unhappy and threw down the chess pieces in his hand, leaned back, and sighed decadently, "Don't play, since I was a child, I haven't won against you, I really don't know if you are a human or a ghost, Xiaoye's chess skills have no opponent in the Southern Jin Kingdom, the premise is to kill you!" ”
Helian Sheng smiled and slowly picked up the teacup, "You can kill me at any time, I'm afraid you don't have that ability!" ”
Tang Mo wanted to vomit blood, this person didn't hurt him for a day, wouldn't it be uncomfortable. Don't say that he didn't have the interest in Helian Sheng's life, even if he did, he was afraid that he would die on the spot before he could do it. He's not stupid, can't he see how many shadow guards are buried around this Fushou Tower?
"The emperor is here again, right? Since the edict of the king has been issued, you have to receive it if you don't receive it, alas......" Tang Mo stroked his forehead very unhappily, "You said that the old man is really old, and he is actually better to you than to his own child, you are the king, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at you, our family Ling'er has written and asked many times, what do you think?" ”
He Liansheng put down the teacup, his deep eyes slowly gathered the light, only condensed at one point, half a sound, and slowly spoke: "Her business has nothing to do with me!" ”
Tang Mo was really going to vomit blood this time, "Say you're vicious, you really don't have any affection at all, so she's ......" When the words came to his mouth, Tang Mo swallowed back again, "Forget it, what you don't want, who can force it, I can help her, that's all, belch, why hasn't Xiaoliu come back yet?" ”
Helian Sheng's glacier face, which has not changed for a hundred years, also has a trace of doubt. It's been a long time, it's getting dark, and it's supposed to be back a long time ago.
At this time, the sound of walking came from the stairs, and after a while, Xiao Liu stood outside the door and cautiously reported, "Young master, I came back from Yuhe Village and brought buns, do you want to try them?" "Xiao Liu said kind words, he went to Yuhe Village on the order of the young master, since he came back and brought something, he must come back and pay tribute, this is the duty of a servant.
Tang Mo chuckled and sat up straight, "Yo, I also brought something, come in, it just so happens that the master is hungry!" ”
Helian Sheng didn't speak, but his lowered eyes were overflowing with light, and the entire wing room was a little brighter.
Xiao Liu held the tray and put things on the table.
If Mu Xiang could see it at this time, he would definitely die of resentment. It turns out that people rely on clothes, and horses rely on saddles. It can be used not only on people, but also on steamed buns.
When she took the bun to Xiao Liu, she had already generously given him a bamboo flat, but at this moment, the big meat bun she made with her own hands was lying in a very particular posture in the blue and white flat bottom plate. At the same time, there are also two small blue and white bowls and a pair of ivory chopsticks on the table.
It's the same to eat steamed buns, but people can eat tall and tall. As for her, she was holding the buns in both hands, squatting at the door of the pot, watching the fire and boiling the water, and eating the buns.
Tang Mo saw those buns, and to be honest, his brows furrowed inadvertently.
She is really real, the buns are so big, I think the buns made by his Fushou Lou are only the size of a baby's fist, the folds on the dough, and the steaming time, which are all exquisite, and even the bun skin is divided into many kinds.
Seeing that the two of them didn't move, Xiao Liu actually wanted to say: If you don't eat, just give it to me, several guys in the back kitchen have asked him for buns made of wood incense! Mu Xiang cooked a big meal before, and they naturally thought that the buns made by Mu Xiang must be delicious.
But Xiao Liu didn't dare to say this, he rolled his eyes and said, "Young Master, Lord Helian, your dinner is ready, or you can serve it now!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that Helian Sheng had already picked up the wet cloth on the table and wiped his hands, and he didn't use chopsticks, so he reached out and grabbed a bun and ate it.
The corners of Tang Mo's eyes twitched, "Helian, isn't this a chopstick?" ”
Helian Sheng glanced at him and said coldly: "I'm different from you!" "He is a person who cherishes words like gold, and even more so in front of Tang Mo. Even if he didn't say it explicitly, Tang Mo understood it-
