In the early winter, the first light snow fell from the sky to the earth, and as soon as it fell to the ground, the roof turned into a puddle of water, and the fowls on the Zhuangzi trembled and refused to get out of the nest, and the old yellow dog did not know where to take some strips of rag and some hay, and spread the nest himself.

Except for the evergreen pine and bober on the mountain, there seems to be no trace of greenery in the whole world, there is no frog chirping in summer and autumn, and there is no little chirping of small swallows, and there is only mud on the ground and no smell of the fragrance of the earth.

Silkworm raisers cook silk, some will spin into thread balls, and some will be put directly, this year the county does not have to hand over anything, the harvest of grain is less, but life is better.

The people who sell cold skin in the county can no longer be seen, the pancake fruit business seems to be better, and the people who sell sugar gourds also come out early, selling from dawn to dark, the thin slices of rock sugar hanging will not melt too much, it is much stronger than that of white sugar, and you can feel the crunchy taste in a bite of sweet and sour.

The workers on the Xiaoluoshui wharf are busier than in previous days, and many merchants who want to make a fortune in the winter are trying to bring in and out the freight they can receive while the river is still not freezing.

Several large shelves are propped up there, with ropes dragging on top and hooks below, which makes the throughput speed of the dock a lot faster, which makes the restaurant and shop business next to the dock also go crazy at the end.

Talented people and beautiful women seem to feel that there is nothing to write about in the poem at this time, and some of them shrink at home thinking about what to write about in the heavy snow in winter, and the only place where there are still many talented people who are willing to stay is the water and clouds.

Wang Juan deliberately used a sentence in one word above, which attracted many people before the snow: 'Who said that the cicadas are cold and the clothes are cold, but the weather is cold and autumn.' ’

Others don't know where this sentence comes from, and they don't know that the first sentence is a teenager who doesn't know the taste of sorrow, many talented people directly think of these two sentences, some poor people have no clothes to wear when it's cold, and some people are appreciating this kind of scenery, literati, always like to put their emotions in the scenery.

In addition, Shui Yunjian has launched a new dish, which makes them willing to come and taste it, and feel nostalgic while eating.

It's not that the sound of cicadas is in the heart, and the autumn silkworms are dead.

That's how the name of the dish came out, to put it simply, it's three words, and it's all right.

Zhang Xiaobao's mind was not put on this aspect, Wang Juan's own idea, judging from the fact that the guests ordered this dish one after another, it was not bad.

Originally, after the silk was drawn, the silkworm chrysalis was not eaten by ordinary people, and the farmers or themselves kept it for a few days to eat, and they could only throw it away if they couldn't eat it.

That's how Wang Juan commented on Li Shangyin, saying that looking at his poems, he was more sad, such as Jinse, good to listen to, but there is always a kind of poignancy, Wang Juan likes the sentence that the pearl of the sea and the moon has tears, and Zhang Xiaobao loves to listen to Zhuang Shengxiao's dream of butterflies.

When he said two sentences, Wang Juan also asked Zhang Xiaobao, "How is it?" Isn't my two sentences spelling particularly well? ”

"Generally, not as good as the three female voices of the Chinese department that I heard before, I didn't understand anything at that time, and when I took the train, they were there to say poetry, saying that there was a poem that was very good, especially the two sentences in it, which can be recalled, and the flowers were helpless, I was shocked at the time, and then ......."

"It turned out to be a poem and a sentence from a poem, right?" Wang Juan asked with a smile.

Zhang Xiaobao shook his head, "No, then I thought, if the surname Yan occupies the body of the surname Li, can he write a Maoling autumn rain disease similar, and the west wind withered the green tree last night?" ”

"Zhang Xiaobao, can't you leave some virtue when you speak?" Wang Juan asked with a smile.

"I'm serious, do you eat that black thing in the silkworm chrysalis?" Zhang Xiaobao said solemnly.

"Don't eat it, who eats the internal organs, have you ever seen what the silkworm chrysalis looks like after it has not been threaded?" Wang Juan asked.

Zhang Xiaobao nodded, "Well, someone gave me more than fifty catties of cocoon chrysalis when I was a child, a woman, in her thirties, and adopted a sister as a daughter, but unfortunately I didn't raise it, I always felt that she was the most beautiful, and when she ate it, she fell into one, and when she was in spring, she became such a big moth, white, and burned it for me to eat." ”

"Oh, I knew that I would have left some special ones for grilling and eating, as long as it is said that brave people can eat them, then there will definitely be many men to eat, especially when there are beautiful women." Wang Juan looked remorseful.

******

How do you not know about the cold? but complained that winter was late. The single clothes are charcoal red, and the scones ask who will eat them.

"Dad, this is it, you see, it's cold, the water is not frozen, they are busy with sweat, and there is a lot of money on every trip, Dad, a few days ago, the child heard that the Zhang family sent a lot of cucumber seedlings, which have been planted in the backyard of the yamen.

They are currying favor with their father, it is better to take this opportunity to say that his Zhangjia Zhuangzi is panicking, otherwise how can there be this year? Then let people sneak into their Zhuangzi and learn the ability to grow cucumbers that winter. ”

At the dock, Jia Weiran, who had just spent two pennies to buy a scone with meat inside, said to a wealthy person next to him.

The two of them did not bring any retinue with them, and the clothes they wore were not luxurious, and they walked slowly here, and from time to time snowflakes fell, and they didn't care, just like ordinary people.

The person who was called his father by Jia Weiran was a new county magistrate, and he didn't know what he thought, so he decided to come over and take a microfu, and he ran to Sanshui County a few days before he took office.

Since Jia Weiran went back to report the news last time, he came back immediately, not in contact with those original friends, but only watched and listened at the dock, and finally let him waste all his efforts at this time, and told his father in detail about the situation here.

Jia Xianling glanced at his son, then looked at the lively scene on the dock, and said: "It's late, someone has already handed over the recipe for planting cucumbers this winter a few days ago, Zhang Yongcheng has been known to many people, this idea can't be beaten, it will cause fire." ”

"Huh? Reported up? Is his Zhang family uncomfortable and stupid? Now that you know it, why do you send cucumber seedlings to the yamen? When we can't afford to eat cucumbers? ”

Jia Weiran didn't expect that he had been thinking about the method for a few days, and it would be in vain before he could use it, and then he thought about the cucumbers that were sent to the yamen, and he couldn't swallow this breath for a while.

Jia Xianling thought a lot, and said to his son: "The report is up, if you want to plant elsewhere, you have to wait for some time before cucumbers can bear fruit, this recipe can not only grow cucumbers, but also some other green vegetables, but it is not easy to do, you need to put them together when the bees and butterflies are not dead."

The Zhang family is not stupid, if they give up this part of the money, there will be a lot less trouble, how much can the cucumber be sold in winter? How much is the pier here in Xiaoluoshui worth? Don't say that it is his two Zhuangzi, even if it is a certain prince, who dares to keep this method of growing vegetables in winter? Where did that leave the people? ”

Jia County Ling thinks more than his son, he already knew before he came, this place is not easy to stay, the previous Cheng County Commander has done almost all the good things, he can only follow when he arrives, otherwise the people will not be willing, this place is not better than other places, the prince is the history of the state assassin, close to the capital, and if something happens, he can't hide it, not to mention that the two Wang families and two seven-rank scattered officials can also hand the fold upward.

"You can't do it lightly, you can't." Thinking about it, Jia Xianling muttered quietly.

"Daddy, isn't it okay what the child said last time? They sealed 4,000 acres, but that piece of land was 6,000 acres, and they privately occupied 2,000 acres, isn't it a small crime? Jia Weiran still didn't want to give up, he always felt that he was embarrassed in the restaurant that day, even if it was two children, he had to count the children's families.

Jia County's order is still so calm, "I need to go back and look at the documents in the yamen, if I really occupy it, it will be easy to do, I am afraid that they will not occupy it, there is a wharf in Xiaoluoshui, and taxes are paid, there is no shortage of money, and I am not afraid that others will find trouble on this." ”

Jia Weiran didn't know what to say at this time, took a bite of the scone he was holding, turned it in his mouth and swallowed it, and suddenly said: "Dad, this scone is really good, there is another one sold in front, buy one for Dad to taste in a while." ”

"Well, it's cold, people here can still do business, it's better than being hungry, otherwise it will be difficult to do next year's assessment, Cheng County Ling does have some ability." Jia Xianling thought that things should be more comprehensive, and the local people would have a better life, so that he could be easier.

Jia Weiran pouted, "Dad, where is the ability of Cheng County, this scone has a special seasoning from Zhangjia Zhuangzi, and I don't know how they got it, it seems that the seasoning is a little different when making a dish, the child has found someone to taste it, probably a few things can be tasted, and more will not work." ”

"Why is that?" Jia really doesn't know.

"The child is looking for someone to smell the seasoning, the person who smells it keeps sneezing, looking for someone to taste, saying a few things that are easy to taste, not waiting to eat again, the mouth will be numb, and the taste can not be distinguished, the child let people use those kinds of dishes to make a dish, put less taste wrong, put more that I don't know the taste is wrong, or eat diarrhea, or dry, listen to people who know how to say, this seasoning is also yin and yang."

Jia Weiran was depressed as soon as he talked about this, the seasoning for fish is absolutely different from that for meat, and the one in this scone is also different, and there are those that are specially filled and boiled for soup, and I don't know how Zhuangzi came up with so many means.

When Jia Xianling heard it, he felt that this was right, and pointed to a place in front of him that sold pancakes and fruits, "Go there and buy a pancake fruit and come back, I heard that it was delicious before I came." ”

"Where it is delicious, it is nothing more than a little salty sauce, more chopped green onions, and everything that the poor eat is delicious." Jia Weiran muttered and walked over there.

"Isn't this Brother Jia? I haven't seen you for a few days, what is Brother Jia busy with? Before Jia Weiran could get to the place, a sudden voice next to him startled him.
