Chapter 44: Pleasure in disguise

The sisters freshened up and went downstairs for breakfast.

I've long heard that Hu spicy soup is famous, so you might as well give it a try.

As I walked, I came to a store called "Joy and Leisure".

Drinking the steaming Hu spicy soup and tasting the unique pork soup dumplings, Ling'er felt like heaven, Qingqing couldn't help but ask the shopkeeper: "May I ask the boss, this Hu spicy soup is so special, which dynasty and which generation invented it?" ”

"Girl, you and I should be proud, this soup was invented by our Song people. Because this is a folk snack, the ancestors of the spicy soup should be hot and sour soup and porridge, according to the "Taiping Huimin and Pharmacy Formula" in our Song Dynasty spread widely, adding spicy and warm dry drugs to the food is the current social trend, so the paste and spicy soup is improved on the basis of these two foods. Take the function of decanting and eliminating food in hot and sour soup, and add meat, in order to adapt to the taste of more levels of people and replenish qi and replenish deficiency, and then supplemented by ginger, pepper, star anise, cinnamon and other spices to soothe the liver and awaken the spleen. Therefore, the main taste of HN paste spicy soup is sour and spicy. Our Great Song Dynasty set the capital of Kaifeng, the commodity economy has made great progress, and the natural folk snacks have also flourished, full of tricks. "Taiping and Huimin Pharmacy Formula" is a popular medical work at the moment, the book believes that adding spicy and warm dry drugs to food is beneficial to qi, so spicy food is quite popular. Xiao Er enthusiastically introduced.

"Thank you, little brother, it's so good, come, I will award you 10 copper coins, I wish you to make the Hu spicy soup perfect, and make the local soup soup to the extreme." Qingqing sincerely praised and encouraged.

"Thank you girl, for your kindness, when you make up your mind, you will make a more satisfactory Hu spicy soup for the guests, please use it slowly." Xiao Er was overjoyed and thanked Miss Qingqing.

"Sister, look at this bun, it looks like white chrysanthemum, hanging like a lantern, delicious and fragrant, I don't know who created it by skillful hands, and the way to eat it is exquisite, this HN person is smart."

"That is, there are smart people everywhere, and the food from all over the world has its own merits." Ling'er echoed, and also comforted her sister: It means that your Bashu is also a food kingdom.

"Sister, are you willing to go with me to practice martial arts and endure hardships? As the saying goes: 'Patience is followed by gold.' 'If you're willing, let's go and dress as a man and get used to being a man for two days, okay?' We're going to take a boy's name. Qingqing presented a new challenge to Ling'er.

"Sister, you are so kind to me, I will go wherever you go, I am not afraid of hardship, what is the name, please choose it for me? My name expert. Ling'er said happily to her sister.

"Think about it, the name of my daughter refers to the Book of Songs, and the name of our boy refers to the name of "Chu Ci", so I will be called 'Jiashu', and you will be called 'Du Ruo', how about it?"

"I like it, I have a new name, thank you sister for the big name." Ling'er was excited.

"Let's go, let's find a barber shop and ask Master to comb the men's hair for us." The owner is a kind and dedicated sister-in-law, and when she saw the sisters entering the store, she greeted enthusiastically: "Two girls, please come into the house, what style do you need to comb?" ”

"Eldest sister, we want to experience a men's hairstyle, please tie it for us, can you?"

"Yes, yes, I promise to keep you satisfied."

"How many copper coins do you need?" Qingqing is afraid of "ripping off customers."

"Not much, our store provides you with small rings and hairpins, only one or two silver per person."

"Okay, thank you so much."

The sister-in-law washed their hair, dried it, combed it straight, first tied a small circle on the top of the head, then inserted a hairpin into the small circle and tightened it, and then coiled the rest of the hair around.

Looking at the handsome dress in the mirror, the sisters felt that it was too cost-effective and thanked them for their farewell.

Then I bought a purple shirt, a fish around my waist, and a small scalp shoe that only men wear.

"Sister, what about these ladies' clothes?" Ling'er asked.

"Sister, remember, for the past year and a half, you and I are both men, and we are resolutely not to be 'material slaves', give them away."

The sisters gave all their daughter's clothes to the beggars on the street, and gave each of them a few pennies, and the beggars were all grateful.

"Du Ruo, my beloved brother, do you like Brother Ren?"

"Katsuki, my brother, do you like your brother?"

Hahaha! The sisters were overjoyed, walking and playing, and practicing how to call out their new names naturally, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
