Chapter 174: Soup

After Xiao Er's question, Liu Yongcai remembered that the word drink did not exist in the Song Dynasty. So he smiled and said, "Bring something for the child to drink." ”

"Well, there's no small shop here, but there's a soup shop on the other side. The small ones can be bought for the guest officer. I don't know what my little sister wants to drink? Xiao Er said respectfully.

Liu Yong and the other three looked at Yingying, but Yingying shook her head.

Liu Yong asked, "What are you selling there?" ”

Xiao Er said: "Well, this, there is dust-free soup, which is made with crystal sugar and plum petals." ”

Liu Yong knew that this so-called crystal sugar was rock sugar.

Xiao Er continued: "There is also lychee soup and fragrant su soup, which is made with jujubes. There are also orange soup, osmanthus soup, black plum soup, bayberry thirsty water, fragrant sugar thirsty water, and so on. ”

Xiao Er said so many names, Liu Yong didn't know what they were? looked at Lin Qingrou.

Lin Qingrou smiled and said, "Then ask the second brother to buy lychee soup and bayberry thirsty water." As he spoke, he gave the little twenty or thirty more than ten dollars.

Xiao Er took the money and bought it in a while. The soup is served in a porcelain bowl. A bowl of lychee soup and a bowl of bayberry thirsty water. It's all in front of Yingying.

Lychee soup is clear white, while bayberry thirsty water is dark red.

Yingying was thirsty for a long time, so she picked up the lychee soup and drank it, and she drank it very refreshingly.

Putting down the bowl, he exclaimed, "It's so sweet!" ”

Liu Yong looked at it and couldn't help but click his mouth. In later generations, most of the drinks were carbonated drinks and soft drinks. Even pure fruit juices have additives. And the drinks of this Da Song are all natural. So he couldn't help but say, "Yingying, can you give your uncle a little drink?" ”

Ying Ying immediately pushed the bowl over and said with a smile: "Uncle, please drink." ”

Liu Yong looked at Lin Qingrou and Su Erniang, a little embarrassed.

"Brother, if you want to taste it, why bother looking at me and Sister Lin?" Su Erniang said with a smile.

Liu Yong said curtly: "Eh, this, do you two want to taste it too?" ”

Su Erniang waved her hand and said, "Eh! I only drink alcohol. As he spoke, he took a sip of milky rice wine. It's very refreshing.

Lin Qingrou also shook her head.

"Well, I'll taste it." After speaking, Liu Yong picked up the bowl and took a small sip. Sure enough, it was very sweet, with a strong lychee flavor. It's delicious, and as soon as you drink it, you know it's natural.

Liu Yong clicked his mouth, looking very aftertasted. Lin Qingrou, who was watching, couldn't help but snicker. Liu Yong quickly put away his expression.

"Ah, it's delicious, it's just so sweet. Come, Yingying, you drink. When you're done drinking, my uncle will buy it for you. Liu Yong pushed the bowl back in front of Yingying.

"Hmm." Yingying picked up the bowl and drank it.

At this time, a child's voice came from the corner of the door: "I want to drink that soup too." ”

Liu Yong and the others looked over, and there was an unkempt woman sitting in the corner with a little boy who was as thin as a bamboo pole. The kid looked like he was four or five years old. The big and the small were all ragged, two beggars. At this time, he was waiting in the corner of the door to eat the leftover meat skewers of the guests.

Liu Yong felt pitiful, and immediately asked Xiao Er to buy a bowl for the child. The little boy took the bowl and poured it into his mouth. And his mother bowed her head to thank Liu Yong. She looked like she was afraid of people. Liu Yong took out another ten taels of silver. These were all found to him in a furniture store.

"This eldest sister, take these ten taels of silver to make a small deal, stop wandering and begging."

The woman's dark face was shining with a pair of eyes, and when she looked at Liu Yong, she immediately dodged timidly and did not take Liu Yong's silver.

At this time, the owner of the small shop came over and said, "Okay, why don't you want the big officials to give you silver?" Take the money, and take the child to beg for a living. ”

Everyone in the small shop gathered around to see Liu Yong's

Please note: Please pay attention to the rest of your eyes for a long time. Net Recommendation:

Silver. I couldn't help but marvel in unison. To put it mildly, these ten taels of silver are enough for the mother and son to live comfortably for a year.

But the woman still didn't answer, so she picked up the little boy who was drinking soup on the ground and left.

"Hey, you really don't want silver?" The boss asked loudly.

The woman led the child and stood still.

"Even if you don't want the money, say thank you." The boss had a bad face.

The woman stood still, did not look back, and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes." I will remember the great kindness of the boss, without you, we would both starve to death. ”

"Let's go, let's go." The boss said.

The woman nodded, and pulled the little boy out of the shop, and the boy kept looking behind him, with a happy smile on his lips, and it was evident that the bowl of soup had feasted his mouth.

The woman and the child were drowned in the crowd, and the boss immediately bowed his hand to Liu Yong and said, "This official is really a good person, but this pair of mother and son is really strange." ”

"Yes, and beggars who don't want money." Liu Yong sighed.

"Don't hide it from the official, this mother and son have been in my store for five days, and some people have given them a few pennies, and she has taken them. The official gave her ten taels of silver, but she didn't want it? It's a pity for the kindness of the officials! The boss shook his head and said.

"The boss is also a good person, and I admire him very much." Liu Yong said.

"The guest officer praised it falsely." The boss arched his hand and went to the back kitchen.

The guests also dispersed, talking about Liu Yong's arrogance and the woman's strangeness.

Lin Qingrou and Su Erniang looked at Liu Yong stupidly, with a look of adoration in their eyes.

After a while, a large skewer of barbecue came up. The three of them, including Ying Ying, were gluttonous.

"It's delicious."

Liu Yong and Yingying's eating is almost the same, they both eat with a mouth full of oil.

Lin Qingrou and Su Erniang on the opposite side both looked like ladies of the family, chewing and swallowing slowly, showing a civilized attitude.

After eating the barbecue, I went to eat the soup cake again, and after eating the soup cake, I went to eat the meat cake again.

"Uncle, Yingying can't eat it." Yingying took the meatloaf and looked at Liu Yong.

"Then wrap it up and eat it when you're hungry." Liu Yong said.

"Isn't it good to throw it away?" Yingying asked.

Liu Yong's eyes widened and he said angrily: "This is not good. Then he smiled and said, "Yingying, these are all grains that can't be wasted." It doesn't matter if you throw it away, but have you ever thought that you can't afford to eat meatloaf now? Just like that little boy just now. You see how pitiful he is, don't you? So, we can't waste food, that's a crime. ”

"Well, Yingying understands, Yingying will never waste food in the future. I wrapped this patty, and I couldn't eat it, so I went to feed it to the dogs. In short, it can't be wasted. Yingying said seriously.

Hearing about feeding the dog, Su Erniang and Lin Qingrou couldn't help but laugh dumbly. Liu Yong also smiled helplessly.

At this time, after noon, Liu Yong and others left the snack street and went to the silk fabric street. Lin Qingrou chose a dry home textile supplies such as bedding and curtains.

By the time they returned to their new home, the sun had set. And the door plaque of 'Liu Zhai' has been completed. The four of them watched for a while before entering the door.

The housekeeper arranged by Lin Qingrou was a man in his forties, a little chubby, and the pitch-black mustache under his nose was very decent. At first glance, he is a neat and neat person.

"Oh, Brother Yong, I forgot to tell you. This Brother Wu is the housekeeper invited by the slaves. Lin Qingrou pointed to the surname Wu and said.

"The villain Wu Gang has seen a big official." Wu Gang bowed deeply.

"Oh, then things in this family will trouble Brother Wu from now on." Liu Yong said with a smile.

"Officials, please rest assured, Wu Gang will definitely do his best."
