Volume II, Chapter 64: Three Dogs
At noon, the cicadas are noisy.
On a large square table under the grape trellis, the basket contains things with steeped tops, which are earthy yellow shells, some like the shape of pods after swelling, and some like a pocket version of the pot Lu, but the shell is neither like the pod shell with a layer of fine hair, but also different from the smooth surface of the pot Lu, which is another crop that Su Xiaoniang has never seen or heard of.
She heard Fang Qi say that this is called falling peanuts.
Because Su Xiaoniang has seen the rapid momentum of sunflower growth, this time it is not strange that the peanuts can be harvested in a few days after planting, what makes her strange is that the pods of the peanuts actually grow in the roots, and she is naturally curious about the taste of this ingredient.
And the cooked peanuts have been left half-cool, and there is no longer the strong fragrance when they first came out of the pot, Su Xiaoniang can endure her strong curiosity and appetite - Fang Qi is still busy in the kitchen, she can't patronize and eat by herself.
Not long after March, a white pottery bowl was served, and it should still be peanuts in it, because Fang Qi said that she was setting up a peanut feast today.
But the peanuts in this bowl were husked, and the kernels were bright red, which should have been fried in an oil pan and sprinkled with some snowflake salt.
There are pastries on the table one after another, and the crispy and sweet baked rolls are no longer visible, but the crystal cake looks like frozen peanuts, but this time it is not red, it has become white, and there are white and red steamed cakes made into flowers, and peanuts should be added to the filling there.
This was followed by a few cold dishes, the grains of crushed peanuts scattered unevenly on the ingredients, but they seemed to be crispy at the sight.
The hot dish is roasted pork ribs with peanuts and a pot of chicken soup with peanuts.
Fang Qi came out of the kitchen at this time, and there was a "fire maid" with charcoal ash on her cheeks next to her.
In the three dogs, Fang period really came to Fuchun Grange to escape the summer, and suddenly invited a new friend Eni, Xiangyang and his wife have always implemented a "stocking system" for their daughters, and they never thought of detaining the pearl in the embroidery building to raise in the direction of gentleness and quietness, and they were extremely happy to send Eni to the Xiangdi, and went to live in the countryside with Fang Period. Eni is an idle woman, planting peanuts is most of her coolies, now I heard that the peanut feast is going to be held in the fang period, and volunteered to help, but her cooking skills have completely inherited Mrs. Li, can not do fine work, the stove is a good hand, but it is inevitable to make yourself disgraced.
Su Xiaoniang felt that she couldn't go.
She also wanted to go to the kitchen to help, but she didn't think about it, but she was "disgusted" by her daughter and her daughter's little guest, but she didn't help at all, and was "guarded" by August under the grape trellis and waited to eat......
While pulling Eni to sit in the chair, she asked the servants and maids to fetch water to serve Eni to wash her face and clean her hands, she did it herself to relieve Fang Qi's arms, feeling that her daughter's body was hot and sweaty, and she felt distressed and warm, and her eyes were a little sour.
Fang Qi turned his head and spoke to Eni: "I envy you for this men's clothes, which are more neat than wearing shirts, and I will let people do two bodies another day, and I can't wear them at home, so I will wear them in Zhuangzi when I come to Fuchun." ”
Su Xiaoniang silently took Fang Qi's words to heart, but she didn't know how to chisel the red needle of the woman, and she didn't have the ability to measure her daughter's size at a glance at Fang Qi, a little regretful that this surprise could not be caused, so she could only send someone to Lin'an City to invite a dress-making lady to come, and measure the size seriously and then make two sets of new clothes, no, she should do four sets, Exiao Niangzi is her daughter's girlfriend, and she should not be left out if she comes to live in Zhuangzi.
As soon as she remembered the matter of spending money to make clothes, Su Xiaoniang followed and pondered that the few pieces of jewelry that Fang Qi carried every day were not very chic, they were very ordinary styles, not to mention precious, so she calculated whether the savings she had saved over the years was enough to create a set of gorgeous head jewelry for Fang Qi, and she could still paint the style herself, and guaranteed that it could be more chic than the painters in the ordinary shop.
Suddenly, like now, she didn't even dare to imagine the hot life of worrying about her daughter's clothes and jewelry, not to mention the experience, she didn't even dare to imagine it before, and it was like being in a dream.
Her blooming period has reached the age of marriage.
And what was her original idea? Silently in the Zhuangzi, when the daughter marries a lover and can gain a foothold in her husband's family, she can ask to leave, find a pure temple and nunnery, and spend the rest of her life alone, she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with such an idea at that time, in the long years, she has long been accustomed to being lonely and lonely, she just changed places to continue to live such a day, since then, she has completely and cleanly withdrawn from the life of the Fang period.
But Su Xiaoniang now clearly feels that she can't give up.
In the Qinglou of the Theater, she used to be a smash hit, and at that time, there was always endless flattery in singing every night, and the days were very lively, but it didn't take long to get tired of it. Miao Yin Xian has never envied anyone. Because she knows that everyone has their own fate, she sometimes looks at an ordinary little woman in a daze, but more often it is others who are amazed by her demeanor and appearance, and the person who lives the best will always seem to be in the eyes of the rest.
She loves to sing those heroic and surging words, and loves to read those words that women don't let their eyebrows have.
Maybe it's because she was actually born in a drunken gold fan, but she is disgusted with a drunken gold fan, when she encounters a national disaster, she will choose to come out, she doesn't want to be a hero, but at that moment she wants to do it.
So many people were captured in Beijing together, only Qin Jing dared to stand side by side with her.
One of the things she regrets the most in her life is that she mistook an unintentional person as a confidant.
But God gave her one of the most precious gifts, which was her daughter Fangqi.
Looking at Fang Qi, Su Xiaoniang felt that this was the life she had been silently looking forward to, not a brilliant celebrity in the red dust, not a beautiful girl who was good at dancing in Beijing in Liaoguo, and not a lonely old man in the heart of Yougu Leng'an, she had her daughter Cheng Huan on her knees, and she had been worrying about her daughter, she might also learn cooking for her daughter, she also hoped that Fang Qi would taste the soup she made herself, and her face would glow with surprise.
For a while, she seemed to have a lot of things she wanted to do.
Obviously, she was still worried about Fang Qi's marriage last night, and she didn't know who her daughter's lover was, but today she suddenly didn't want Fang Qi to marry so soon, Su Xiaoniang understood that she would not be anyone's mother-in-law, and when Fang Qi got married, such a life would always become a luxury.
How do you know that just because of this sad matter, there are uninvited guests.
There was a servant woman who reported that there was Yan Saburo from the Yiguo Mansion outside the door who asked to see him.
Before a boiled peanut was peeled out and the chopsticks were not touched, when they heard this amazing news, they suddenly even felt a big discount in the happiness of enjoying the food. She hurriedly dropped the words "I'll take a look", and walked a few steps before remembering that Yan Chi seemed to have promised to give her more grace, and was not in a hurry to "force debts", but who knows if the ice blade will regret it again? In case it is to chase again/debt to Fuchun......
That day, when there was a negotiation, the system notified that the progress bar of the side quest had finally reached 50 percent of the points, and the main quest had climbed up two points like a snail, indicating that Yan Chi had not completely forgiven her, and also, although she had finally chosen the second brother Xu, the list of unwarranted items was still nowhere to be seen.
I'm always worried that there will be extraneous branches.
Yan Chi in the door has actually been welcomed in, standing at the bottom of the long melon corridor with his hands in his hands, he turned around when he heard the footsteps, only to see that it was Fang Qi who greeted him, and his eyebrows were pimpled, Fang Qi inexplicably felt that he was a little beauty and saw her as a disciple, and he couldn't help but arch on the ground with anger in his heart - why are you so impatient? This time, it's not me dangling in front of Yan Langjun's eyelids, it's you running to my village to entangle.
Thinking of Second Brother Xu, who finally got rid of the threat, and thinking of the progress bar she had worked so hard to build, Fang Qi held back her anger under her smile, and greeted Han Huo enthusiastically: "When you come to visit, we are really full of brilliance, and Yan Langjun is indeed a blessed person for the stars of the heavenly cupboard." ”
Before the words "please, please" were spoken, Fang Qi saw Yan Chi and smiled.
She suddenly felt as if there was another misunderstanding.
Sure enough, I didn't feel "lucky" at all when I heard the ice blade: "Qin Sanniang, you really don't let go of some slight opportunities, how many times have you been dangling in front of me this time?" ”
Fang Qi took a big breath, and swallowed the rebuttal of "It's obviously Yan Lang who took the initiative to come to the door" back into his stomach, almost didn't choke himself and coughed, and stabilized his tone after a few steady: "Did I hear it?" Yan Langjun is here to ......"
She really can't go on, Yan Bingdao didn't come to her grange to find her, who else could she find?
"Don't say that the servant woman in your mansion is clumsy, and I didn't make it clear to you that I came today at the request of the Duchess of Xiangyang, and I brought a few items to the little lady by the way."
This is really a misunderstanding!!
Fang Qi grinned awkwardly, not knowing how to justify, but seeing Yan Chi's gaze shifted to the right, the playful look was closed.
Bowed politely.
Fang Qi subconsciously turned around, but saw that the person who came turned out to be her little mother.
Su Xiaoniang followed, of course, because she was not at ease, she had almost no knowledge of the Yiguo Mansion, but from Fang Qi's demeanor, she noticed that this Yan Saburo seemed to be a little unusual, and she thought that Eni's temperament was very different from how much of a noble daughter, free and generous, and she would definitely not complain that she had been neglected because of their lack of companionship for a while, so she was relieved to come over and take a look.
Seeing the visitor, his bearing was awe-inspiring, and he seemed to have a little more solemn spirit than the Liao prince who killed and broke off back then, and Su Xiaoniang's pace was a meal.
Worries filled her heart like a thick fog, because she knew that people of this age, if they hadn't had an extraordinary experience, wading through the thorns and even blood along the way, how could they be shrouded in this full body of slaughter.
If you have a deep affection for such a person......
A lifetime is nothing short of a gamble.
