Chapter 22: The Story
Thanks to the old man of Mendunmen, if he hadn't prepared dry food for himself, he would really be starving.
I can't see that the old man is a quiet man, but he is a careful person.
The Sun family is one mile away from the Hou's Mansion in Huichang, five hundred meters, and it is only two minutes away from anyone else. However, in order to let the children of the family study with peace of mind, all the students are not allowed to go home for lunch at noon.
Therefore, every set of lunches, the house will bring meals to the young masters and ladies in each room. As for the children of small families, or the schoolchildren of the Sun family, they bring their own dry food.
Sun's Mansion was not far from here, and the food was steaming hot when it was delivered, causing the hungry students to drool.
As for those children of the collateral and children of small families, naturally they do not have this condition, and they can only bring their own lunch. It was so cold that by noon, the food was already cold.
Fortunately, Sun Fu is not stingy, anyway, the school is burning the earth dragon to keep warm, so he simply let the students heat their meals on the stove. And boiled a large pot of old people's tea for schoolchildren to quench their thirst and refresh themselves.
The schoolchildren in the school are old and young, the older ones are fourteen or fifteen years old, and the younger ones are seven or eight years old. But the ancients didn't seem to have this awareness, but Sun Dan was cheaper.
As soon as Sun Dan walked out of the door of the bookstore, he was blown by the cold wind, and the thin cotton clothes on his body were blown through, and he shivered with cold. I poured a cup of hot tea and drank a few sips before it warmed up.
I took out the two pieces of mixed noodles steamed buns prepared for myself on the door, skewered them with fire hooks, and roasted them repeatedly on the stove, and a sweet grain fragrance came, which had a bit of the feeling of barbecue in later generations.
It's a pity that Sun Dan's skills are limited, and the fire in the oven is strong, and the skin of the steamed bun will be charred after not being roasted for a minute.
He secretly screamed pity, and hurriedly took the steamed bun off the fire hook. pulled the scorched skin on the steamed bun and wanted to throw it, but he was reluctant. After hesitating for a moment, he decisively put it in his mouth.
He is sixteen years old this year, and he is past the best age to grow his body. Probably because of the hardships of life in the early years, the body has always been very weak. But a person's body does not stop developing until he is twenty years old. As the saying goes: the male is twenty slow, and the female is old.
There are still four years to the age of twenty, this is my last chance, and I must strengthen my nutrition, otherwise, not only will it be hopeless to become a handsome guy, but it will be unlucky to grow into bean sprouts.
"You're going to eat it when it's so dirty?" Someone screamed, looked up, and saw Jiang Ruoying staring at him with bulging eyes.
Sun Dan didn't think anything, and smiled: "Miss Jiang, you are a young lady from a big family, I am from a poor family, and I don't eat these things." When I encounter a lack of green and yellow, I'm afraid that I won't even be able to eat this kind of food! ”
Jiang Ruoying looked sad and sighed rarely: "On the way from Suzhou to Shandong, I have also seen many poor people. Especially as soon as the Huai River is crossed, the number of poor people increases...... They eat everything, rice bran, bark...... I never thought that people could eat that kind of thing and live. ”
After speaking, she gritted her teeth, "You wait for me." ”
Looking at her rushing back, Sun Dan was a little confused, this girl really didn't know what she wanted to do.
After this delay just now, the steamed bun in his hand became cold, and if he didn't eat it, it would be hard. Sun Dan hurriedly swallowed the steamed bun in three sips, and drank another sip of water, feeling very comfortable.
Not in a hurry to go back to the library, he raised his head and looked at the sky of ancient China.
The sky is as blue as a wash, the blue is pure, behind the large courtyard of the Sun family is a low hill, the water mill of the mill by the river rotates leisurely, and a lush big nan tree stands like a big umbrella in the farmland of the Sun family.
There is a backing behind it, Shuanglong takes water, and the pavilion is like a canopy, and the feng shui of Sun's mansion is good.
was looking at it intently, but the wing of his nose moved for no reason, and a strong smell of meat hit, making Sun Dan's head "Buzz!" A little confused.
Who, exactly, is poisoning?
As soon as Sun Dan turned around in annoyance, he saw Jiang Ruoying running over with a small clay pot in a hurry, followed by the little girl Fu Hui behind her: "Miss, don't run, it's hot and falling." ”
Jiang Ruoying ran to Sun Dan, put the casserole on the windowsill in front of Sun Dan, and said with a smug smile: "Here you go." ”
Sun asked lightly: "What kind of saying is this, huh, come to eat?" ”
"Wow, you're so good, you even know this allusion." Jiang Ruoying opened her mouth in surprise, her face suddenly flushed with irritability, and she said sheepishly: "Sun Dan, I don't mean anything else." I don't like greasy, anyway...... Anyway......"
"Anyway, if you can't eat it, you have to pour it, so it's cheap, isn't it?" Sun Dan is not a paranoid person, as a modern person, he is much more open-minded than the ancients. Seeing Jiang Ruoying's embarrassment, Sun Dan also knew that the little girl was kind-hearted. If you change to another person, you are afraid that you will feel that your self-esteem will be hit hard. But Sun Dan didn't, he was just a little moved.
I can't help but recall a few bastard classmates when I was in college, those guys got a lot of living expenses at the beginning of the month, and at the end of the month, when the money ran out, they went around eating. Because the girls are soft-hearted, these guys hit the idea on the female classmates. came and went, when they succeeded, they mixed a lot of food from others, anyway, they just said a few good words. Of course, there are also people who eat people's mouths, take people softly, are captured by dinosaur-level girls, become other people's boyfriends, and are laughed at by the children of the rivers and lakes.
Now when I think of this, in addition to being funny, Sun Dan also has a faint melancholy: Lovely classmates, there will be no time in the future.
"I, I'm ...... too" Jiang Ruoying was even more ashamed, her little head lowered. A small pink face was blown white and red by the wind.
Good complexion, Sun Dan secretly praised, didn't talk nonsense, picked up the casserole, ate it in a big gulp, and said while eating: "Good craftsmanship, this pot of white bean stewed pork knuckle is really amazing, amazing." ”
At the beginning, Jiang Ruoying was still extremely embarrassed, but now seeing Sun Dan eating happily, the little girl laughed quietly: "Can you eat slowly, it looks so ugly, and there is a chirp sound in your mouth...... Hee-hee, if I make such a noise during dinner, my aunt will knock me on it with chopsticks. ”
"Knock knock!" After drinking all the soup in the casserole, Sun Dan said, "It's enjoyable, Miss Jiang, thank you very much." I won't eat you for nothing, say, is there anything I can do to help you? ”
"Can you help me?" Jiang Ruoying smiled: "No." ”
"Don't you like to hear my story, why don't I tell you one and pay for your meal?" Sun Dan's heart moved, there were many stories in his stomach, and any one of them was better than the storyteller in this world. In this way, there is no need to owe Jiang Ruoying this favor.
"Well, I'd love to hear your story." Jiang Ruoying applauded: "Didn't you tell a story about a monkey fishing for the moon yesterday, I like it very much, why don't you say another one." ”
"Okay." Sun Dan cleared his throat: "In other words, Pangu opened up, the three emperors ruled the world, the five emperors Dinglun, and the world was divided into four major continents: Dongsheng Shenzhou, West Niuhe Continent, South Ganbu Continent, and North Juluzhou. This book list is Dongsheng Shenzhou. There is a country overseas, called Proud Country. The country is close to the sea, and there is a famous mountain in the sea, which is called Huaguo Mountain...... At the top of that mountain, there was a fairy stone. Its stone is three feet six feet five inches high, and it has two feet and four feet around the circle......"
God, isn't this "Journey to the West"? Sure enough, it's a story about monkeys.
Fortunately, this novel has not appeared yet. Mr. Wu Chengen estimated that it was still a tadpole-like existence.
