A few days later, it was close to noon.

"Yao Niangzi, teacher, please come in."

Xu Haohao, who greeted Master Li and Yao Huan at the entrance of the alley, pushed open the door of the small courtyard with a squeak.

There was a smell of medicine in the courtyard, and a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl was tinkering with something on the ground, and when she saw Xu Haohao, she got up and said, "Sister welcomes the guest ......."

Before she could say the word "guest", she stared at Master Li with a pair of watery peach blossom eyes.

"Master's wife?"

Xu Haohao didn't seem to tell her that the guest he was going to greet was Master Li.

Master Li pursed his lips and said softly, "It's me, Yue'er." ”

This little lady called "Yue'er" had an embarrassment on her face that she didn't know how to socialize, and she went to see Xu Hao Hao with the intention of exploration.

Xu Haohao's expression was still faint: "The master I met in Fenghe Building before, she heard me say that the master was sick, so she wanted to come and see." ”

After that, he introduced Yao Huan again: "This is Yao Niangzi, a friend of the teacher, who also understands the rhythm of music and gave a tune, and I will invite you to write it today." ”

When she looked at Yao Huan, her smile was brighter. But Yao Huan knew in his heart that calling "teacher" and "Yao Niangzi" were close to each other.

That day, Yao Huan's performance, and the presence of Zhao Ji, the king of Suining County, put an end to a senseless turmoil, and this Xu Haohao no longer seemed to care about Liu Yanqing's apology. She took Tong Guan's piano with the meaning of sending gods, and after going to the cubicle of Zhao Mingcheng and other students to thank her, she took the initiative to invite Master Li and Yao Huan.

Whether it was the subtle conflict between the two when they met at that time, or Yue'er's surprised expression after entering the courtyard today, Yao Huan was sure that there was probably a festival between Li and Xu, the two sisters and sisters.

But Xu Haohao, who was cold on the surface, actually showed a hint of repairing the relationship, because when she sent out the invitation, she came up with the sentence "Shishi hasn't been to me for tea for a long time".

In fact, it is more of a relative-and-friend-type expression than a respectful and polite request like "can Mrs. Yao give a score".

And Master Li said bluntly to Yao Huan at this moment: "Can Mrs. Yao sit in the hall for a while first, I will go to the inner room to see Uncle Shi." ”

Yao Huan nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, it's better for me to bask in the sun in the courtyard." ”

Seeing the two of them going to the back room of the hall, the doubts in Yue'er's eyes turned into surprise little by little, and she hesitated on her tiptoes, as if she wanted to follow up and knock on it, but she suddenly remembered that there was Yao Huan as a guest, so she said to Yao Huan apologetically: "Neglect the lady, the lady sit." I'll go to the stove and order a bowl of tea. ”

When Yue'er came out with a tea bowl, she saw Yao Huan squatting on the ground studying.

"Your family's bream, such a dazzling array of food, really taught me how to cook and eat, it's all eye-opening." Yao Huan raised his face and looked at Yue'er with adoration.

"Huh? Since the lady can give scores, isn't she a musician? ”

Yao Huan sneered: "I'm a musician, but I learned the zither in my hometown for a while, and if I can play it, I will have two or three songs, how can I compare it with." My aunt and I opened a restaurant in Dongshuimen. ”

Yue'er said with a smile: "I also love to eat, others often say that I don't know how to cherish creation, my father is a musician, and he also brought out a master like Sister Xu, but I can't learn half a point, I only know how to make these bream out to sell." ”

Yao Huan said in his heart, oh, it turns out that this girl's father is the old gentleman lying on the sickbed, Master Li's uncle, and Xu Haohao's master.

It is a fish and vegetables marinated in coarse salt, Sichuan pepper, red yeast rice, etc. Yao Huan once saw in "Water Margin" that Yan Po prepared a family banquet called "Fat Bream" in order to help her daughter keep Song Jiang.

After crossing to the Northern Song Dynasty, Yao Huan finally saw with his own eyes what is called "fat bream", which is a slice of meat marinated after slicing pork belly, which is much rougher than the process of ham, but it is finer than the salted meat and sauce meat of later generations, and the red yeast rice and sorghum wine are put in, there is a unique rose bean curd-like fragrance, no wonder although it is pork, it can be regarded as a hospitality dish.

However, today, Yue'er makes more tricks.

On the big bamboo plaque used for silkworm raising, Yao Huan can distinguish at least pig fat, river fish, mustard greens, woad vegetables, mushrooms, callus white, eggplant melon and other ingredients, obviously all of which have completed the process of the bream, and the juice is full, if it is not for the herb flavor in another place, the aroma of sake lees will be stronger.

"How did you get these bream?"

Yue'er said: "I'm counting the portions, and I'm going to send them to a few restaurants on the street in exchange for money to buy medicine for my father." Sister Xu's piano money has already paid for the rental house, how can she let her pay for Lang Zhong and take medicine. She travels to several main stores on weekdays, and she also works hard. ”

Yao Huan let out an "oh".

She has been a working person for more than half a year since she came to this era, and she knows very well how high the cost of living is in a prosperous capital like Kaifeng. Among the more than one million people, the vast majority of them, as soon as they open their eyes, have to think about how they can earn their rent, food, children's tuition, medical expenses, and even coffin expenses.

It is no different from the Hereafter.

Or conversely, there is no difference between the Hereafter and this life.

At the same time, Yao Huan also realized that Xu Haohao, who had an ice cube face, should actually be a kind person. It sounds like she not only depends on her master, father and daughter, but also bears the burden of the family.

No wonder, she was so snubbed and even humiliated by Liu Yanqing, and she still insisted on asking for piano money before the other party made a move.

If she is so high that she looks like "you love to give it or not" every time, how can she earn money to make a living.

Yao Huan couldn't help but think of the Party A who was happy with the little girl she met when she was doing projects in the past.

Liu Yanqing is an uneducated frontier martial artist in ancient times, and those elite men who graduated from famous schools, look like dogs, still show their wives and show their babies in the circle of friends, sing the motherland or copy Tang poems and Song lyrics when they have nothing to do, but they actually love to bully everyone who can be bullied in the workplace - how scummy their nature should be, it will be like this, even a good education and a good life can't make them look a little bit like decent people.

Yao Huan sighed.

Let's take a look at the bream in front of you.

"Yue'er, what is this? Quail? Yao Huan pointed to a bunch of bird-like breams and asked.

"It's the Yellow Sparrow. My family can't afford to buy mutton to make bream, so they use cheap food. This yellow finch is all over the mountains, and you can catch a lot of it with a net, and make it into a bream, which is fatter than quail, and has a bit of mutton flavor. ”

"Interesting, these are mussels?"

Yue'er nodded: "Well, there are clams and razor clams, which can be made into clams, which are not expensive, and they are good for wine." The size of the aquarium should not be too large, unlike dried fish, and large carp can also be sunburned. ”

When Yao Huan heard this, he suddenly remembered, isn't that crayfish made into bream, and the people of the Northern Song Dynasty will also like that taste?

After his uncle repaired the fish pond in the courtyard of Qingjiangfang, Yao Huan brought back the crayfish from Shao Qing's Huren friend.

The fertilized eggs on the belly of the adult shrimp have turned into many juvenile shrimp.

Finding a better place to breed crayfish is the same as finding a shop to sell new customers, which should be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
