Chapter 68: Dumplings

In the turn of the day, the post house was very lively, especially Qingyang Xianneng, who had just arrived in Beijing, was extremely busy, from after breakfast to the eve of dinner, there were always visitors. There are no exceptions to the people who come: casual clothes, extraordinary bearing, and heavy gifts. Song Yang was not surprised by such a situation, Nanli was not only a force in Hongbo Mansion.

The winners selected from Kyushu, each of them have performed on stage under the eyes of everyone, and those who can stand out and come to Phoenix City are all people who are really talented and learned, and all forces want to win over talents, and it is normal to use them for their own use, if not, the lord of Chenghe County will not ask Song Yang to persuade Xiao Qi.

One day later, when he got up early in the morning, Liu Ersilly pulled Xiao Qi to find Song Yang, and as soon as he entered the door, he urged: "Hurry up and go, there will be guests later!" ”

Song Yang was quite surprised: "If there are visitors, there will be gifts, isn't it?" ”

The second fool waved his hand nonchalantly: "I asked the concierge, and the visitors can't see anyone, most of them will leave the gifts......" Xiao Jiu listened from the side and laughed out loud.

The second fool is impatient and always receives strange visitors, and it is easy to get to Jingshi, and he wants to go out to play. Xiao Qi also means this. Of course, Song Yang also wanted to go around, so he immediately waved his hand and said with a smile: "Then let's go, we won't come back if it's not dark... Wait a minute," Song Yang remembered one more thing, went to the pen and paper and quickly wrote a list, and handed it to Xiao Jiu: "You keep this, remember to buy these things when you hang out today." ”

Xiao Jiu took the list and looked at it, and asked curiously: "Flour, green onions, beef, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar... Are you going to cook? ”

Xiao Qi looked concerned, but he didn't dare to look at Song Yang: "Isn't the food in the post house to the prince's appetite?" I'll also make a few dishes......"

Song Yang shook his head and smiled: "It's the New Year, how can you not eat dumplings." "This world does not exist in the history known to Song Yang in his previous life, although the ethnicity, beliefs, technology and even language are similar to those of the Tang and Song dynasties, but after all, they are not exactly the same, dumplings are one of them...... Here, in the world, there are no dumplings.

In the past, when he was in the town, Song Yang would make a meal of dumplings every Chinese New Year's Eve, and only he and You Taiyi shared them, even the villagers on Yanziping had seen and never tasted them.

It's the New Year again, the familiar world has changed early, the heaviest relatives have just left, but the new life is still there, and next year is coming, when bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, Song Yang wants to eat a few dumplings.

Xiao Qi raised his head, his eyes full of puzzlement, and Xiao Jiu also asked curiously: "Chew?" Sedan chair? What's that? ”

Song Yang smiled: "You'll know when the time comes, in short, it's delicious and auspicious." The master of the post house can't do it, so we can only do it ourselves. Laughing and just going out, I met the two of Qu's family, they are singers, no matter how good they are, they can only be regarded as a small talk, almost no one comes to woo them, the two of them are happy, and they are planning to go out for a walk.

Since they meet, they will naturally go together.

And the great master Chen Hui went out shortly after arriving at the post house the day before yesterday, and he didn't know where he went, and he didn't come back until now. This time, all the people selected in Qingyang threw down the visitors and ran out to play, which is unique among the talents in Kyushu.

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, the lanterns in Phoenix City are colorful, there are often firecrackers coming from the city, the seven people are full of interest, and there is no serious purpose, anyway, where to make up where it is lively, and after lunch, they played for a while, and everyone was temporarily divided into two ways, Xiao Jiu took the dumb to buy many ingredients for 'making dumplings', and the Qu couple and Xiao Qi went to help; Liu Er also wanted to help, but wanted to play more, Song Yang couldn't bear to sweep his interest, and was worried that he would get into trouble if he had a bad brain, so he went with him.

Before parting, Song Yangsai gave Xiao Jiu a silver ticket and instructed: "Buy more ingredients, keep the dumplings for the New Year, and everyone in the post house will have a share." ”

Xiao Jiu frowned: "They... Most of them will not celebrate the New Year in the post house, and looking at the posture of those visitors, they will definitely invite their favorite talents to the house to eat and drink and celebrate the New Year. As she spoke, her eyebrows stretched, and the little girl smiled again: "It's not that no one has invited us, according to me, most of this dumpling is going to Hongbo Mansion to wrap." ”

It is a matter of course, but Song Yang shook his head: "No, everyone should stay in the post house for the New Year, and we will do the same." "Kyushu has its own merits, and many forces in Phoenix City have chosen targets and expressed goodwill, but the giants also have their own tacit understanding, at least they will not tear their faces for one or two talents.

There are countless cases where several families have taken a fancy to one person at the same time, and everyone can lobby better than anyone by their means, after all, it is not yet the time to really 'grab people', and everything has to wait for the royal selection to go to the candidates. But pulling people away during the New Year will inevitably hurt the face of others. For example, the person who was favored by the left prime minister was invited by the right prime minister to celebrate the New Year...... There is a secret fight in the power field at any time, but there is rarely a clear dispute, Song Yang can probably think that tomorrow on Chinese New Year's Eve, the inn will be rare and clean for a night.

Song Yang didn't explain much, and Xiao Jiu didn't dwell on this matter, she had a new problem: "The son paid for them to eat dumplings by himself... Can you do it? As she spoke, she seemed to suddenly think of something, giggled, and asked Song Yang in a low voice, "Do you want to poison them all?" ”

Song Yang smiled and waved his sleeves to bombard it: "Hurry up and go, do your business." ”

Xiao Jiu agreed crisply, smiled and left with Xiao Qi and the others, and found the nearest market to buy wantonly, along the way, Xiao Qi and Qu were all people who passed by, and they were familiar with buying vegetables and bargaining, because they didn't need to make their own efforts to buy more, and after the account, the vegetable seller and the grain seller sent a guy to deliver the things to the residence, without worrying about it.

But there is another trivial matter, when Xiao Jiu was shopping for vegetables, she accidentally saw a shop specializing in tattoos on the side of the road, she remembered that Song Yang planned to track down the tattoo fancy and visit the mute's life experience, and immediately pulled the mute into the store.

As the New Year approaches, most of the shops that don't make money from the end of the year are closed, and the same is true of this tattoo shop, but a sum of money will be settled today, and the owner of the shop will leave a cronie apprentice to deal with the matter. Seeing that the customer came to the door, Hou Sheng apologized and explained the situation, Xiao Jiu was not discouraged, and said with a smile: "It's okay, even if you are not a tattoo master, you will be more knowledgeable than us in this industry, you can help to see, do you recognize the origin of the pattern on his body." ”

The dumb man turned around and took off his shirt to show the ornamentation on his back, and the apprentice shook his head blankly: "I haven't seen it..."

Originally, I was going to try it, but the dumb man was not disappointed, grinned, and just wanted to put on his clothes, but the apprentice was busy reaching out to stop him: "Slow, slow......"

Xiao Jiu looked happy: "What, do you see some clues?" ”

The apprentice is an honest man, and his face turned red when he heard this: "It's not... I don't know where it is, it's this technique that is amazing, I、Can you take a few more looks.。 ”

Xiao Jiu coughed and looked at the mute, the latter stretched out his right hand and made a gesture of 'one inch long' with his thumb and index finger, Xiao Jiu understood, and smiled at the apprentice: "You can only watch for a while!" ”

The apprentice is also a little infatuated, doing this line of love and this line, looking at the dumb tattoo, his mouth is amazed, Xiao Jiu casually flipped through the tattoo patterns placed on the desk, looked at the little girl and laughed again, pointed to one of the patterns and asked the apprentice with a smile: "This is, this is a waterwheel?" And someone tattooed this? And what are the ghost glyphs below? ”

The apprentice shook his head absentmindedly: "Like a waterwheel but not a waterwheel, what kind of wheel... Not long ago, the patterns that came from the Dayan General Account should not have been created by the painters, and most of them were painted by the customers themselves. No one understood that string of words. ”

After waiting for a while, Xiao Jiu became impatient, returned the album to the distance, returned to the market with a mute, and went with the exchange contract......

Song Yang didn't have anything to do here, he took the second fool to wander around for an afternoon, until dusk, the two of them walked back, and passed by a teahouse when they were a few streets away from the post house, the second fool didn't leave, he didn't say that he was greedy, but asked Song Yang: "Are you thirsty and hungry?" ”
