Chapter 172: Eel Buns
When Shao Qing returned to Fushunfang's house, Lu Gang and Ye Rou breathed a sigh of relief.
The two subordinates knew that Shao Qing was going to drink the wedding wine with Su Song, but it was still worrying that he would not return all night.
"Su Gong is happy, he drank too much, and stayed at Su Erlang's house, I stayed with him, it was appropriate."
Shao Qing said a few words.
I don't know when he didn't fully share the message from the Song people with his two partners from the Liao State.
Lu Gang became less separating from Ye Rou, and when he saw that his master came back safely, his heart was relaxed, and he made Ye Rou's jokes.
"The prince will not come back, Ye Rou is worried. Even the eel buns forgot to steam. ”
"What eel buns?" Shao Qing wondered.
"Snacks sent to Yang's family ......"
Lu Gang also wanted to add oil and vinegar, and caught a glimpse of Ye Rou's pair of willow eyebrows slightly twisted, and her face was also hung up.
He knew that this daughter was the daughter of Ye Thorn Shi after all, and he was not good at words, so he hurriedly shut up, said, "I'll help you steam the buns", and turned around and went to the stove.
Shao Qing discerned Ye Rou's face and asked, "Then Yang Zuotou, the situation has not improved recently?" ”
Ye Rou said: "His heart has become so irritable, he has offended the new prison supervisor, how can the yamen next to him dare to hire him." He wants to support his father and children, what should he do if the family runs out of cooking, so the day before yesterday, I saw him working as a husband at Caoyun Wharf. ”
When Ye Rou said the last half of the sentence, the gloom in her eyes increased sharply.
Shao Qing also felt worried.
He always believed that Yang Yu's tragic scene was caused by his desire to find the divine arm crossbow.
These days, Lu Gang had to instruct Hu Shang to hire Yang Yu so that he could earn money to make ends meet.
Shao Qing asked Ye Rou again: "What do you think?" ”
Ye Rou bit her lip and said tentatively: "Shizi, I was introduced by Yang Yu as the head of the house, so that I could go to the Bow and Crossbow Courtyard to help cook." Now that I'm teaching people to get out, it's impossible to get the pattern of the magic crossbow. As...... Why don't we think of a way to arrest his family and Yanjing? Even if he doesn't know the full set of French production methods of the Divine Arm Crossbow, but when he arrives in Daliao?
Got plenty of materials?
And my Da Liao's skilled craftsmen, those crossbow making knacks in his stomach?
Do you think about it and try to make it?
Maybe from simple to complex, can you really create a divine arm crossbow? ”
Shao Qing stared at her.
Shao Qing sincerely thinks?
This woman has become more than when she first came?
Much better.
Women's good-looking?
Not only from the symmetry and beauty of the facial features, but more importantly, it is about the eyebrows, the corners of the eyes, the cheeks and the lips, those deep and shallow attitudes that are often revealed.
Ye Rou's arrogance and disdain for foreign countries and races?
And the resentment that Shao Qing is close but can't get what he wants?
It all made her eyebrows and eyes stained with a layer of anger.
But after the changes in the flood, especially when Yang Yu was no longer happy and still willing to accept this woman's appeasement, Ye Rou's daily expression gradually changed from what it was before.
How much interest is in her gentleness?
Sometimes I was stunned, but then I changed my vision.
Shao Qing's gaze deepened.
He pondered for a moment?
decided to say bluntly: "This Yang Yu, has it entered your heart?" ”
Ye Rou's eyes widened?
Lips furled, as if to discern?
But it came to an abrupt end?
Fell silent.
The winter wind crosses the corners of the houses?
Sweeping in, even under the sun, the cold still poured on the body one by one.
But Ye Rou felt that although Shao Qing asked directly, his tone was as warm as spring.
My sister is right, Shao Qing is not like those men in Da Liao.
When he talks to the woman, no matter how he speaks, he can make people feel that he is first prepared to listen carefully and patiently to the woman's response, and then give his response.
Ye Rou then plucked up the courage and said, "Yes, somehow, I also want to see him more and more every day." ”
Shao Qingdao said: "Then you shouldn't make that plan." ”
"Huh? What does Shizi mean? ”
"Plunder, lure, and exploitation, these things, you can't do to your loved ones."
"No, I don't, I ......"
Ye Rou was anxious and changed to Khitan.
She is a Han Chinese, but she speaks Khitan more fluently than Chinese, and is better suited to explain what she thinks makes sense.
"Kaifeng is his sad place, he can't live a good life in the Southern Dynasty anyway, why can't we take him to Yanjing? The servants of my family, who caught Hai Dongqing, can be tamed like a hunting dog, Yang Yu originally liked me, maybe, when he arrives in Yanjing, he will feel that it can indeed be a better home for him. ”
Ye Rou was speechless and finished speaking in one breath, very happy.
Shao Qing smiled.
"Ye Rou, men are not your prey. You love him, how can you treat him as Hai Dongqing, and have a heart of capture. Conversely, it is not true for men to women. ”
Ye Rou tightened her eyebrows, as if trying to understand.
After a long time, she said lonely: "Shizi, what you said makes sense. He is a Song person, and he is unwilling to give his life to the Liao people. If I were so brutal to him, wouldn't it be the same as when the Khitans went south to plunder the population? ”
Ye Rou paused suddenly.
What are you talking about?
Shao Qing is a Khitan!
"Shizi, I, I don't mean anything else, I'm still from Liao, you have to believe me," Ye Rou pleaded, "Don't send me back to Yanjing now." I like that person, but I'm measured, and I can't make mistakes. ”
He added another sentence: "I like the Song people, and the prince actually likes the Song people...... too"
Shao Qing waved his hand to stop her, and said in a calm tone: "Okay, you believe me, say that I listen to this, and I will naturally believe you." ”
Ye Rou's color of joy swelled up.
People's thoughts naturally change according to their own minds. A few months ago, Ye Rou was still looking forward to it, and after getting the French diagram of the divine arm crossbow, she would have accompanied Xiao Qing's brother back to Yanjing before the first month of next year at the latest. And now, Brother Xiao Qing has really become an elder brother, and Yang Yu is the elder brother in that sense......
Ye Rou thought about it, Xiao Qing, you'd better go to high school next year, go to the military department and the Privy Council, and use this method to get more Song people's weapons and French diagrams, and I will follow you to stay in Kaifeng City for a while longer.
As if in order to repay Shao Qing's trust and understanding, Ye Rou's eyes flashed, and she reported flatteringly: "Someone in the north sent my sister's message, and I personally went to run my sister's acquaintance with two customers, they heard that they were going to enter Hu Dou, although they thought it was strange, but they were also willing to enter the ship, but they had to make a deed first, so as not to transport it after the beginning of spring, and Yao Niangzi didn't want it." Because of this bean, I have never heard that the Song people next to me want to buy it. ”
"Okay, yesterday in Su Mansion, it was a banquet for Yao Niangzi's family, and I also told her that I was inquiring about the transportation of beans by sea ship for her. You go to those merchants and make the accounts clearer, whether the beans are loaded on the sea ship by liters or catties, and what is the asking price? Fixed-silver geometry? If you go ashore from Dengzhou City, and if you go ashore from Liaojing and then go south through Songjing, what is the price difference? After settling the account, you will come to me again. ”
Ye Rou responded, and said secretly, you are really interested in Yao Niangzi's affairs, but I don't know, what will be the fate between you and her, me and Yang Yu?
was muttering, but saw Lu Gang bring a basin of steaming snacks and walked over.
"Ye Rou, your eel bun this time, the skin is finally not broken!"
When Shao Qing heard this, he also went to see the buns on the plate.
There are two kinds of "steamed buns" in Kaifeng's mouth, one is the vegetable leaf bun wrapped in the filling and steamed with shredded green onions, and the other is steamed with a thin dough wrapped in the filling. The difference between the latter and steamed bread lies in the thickness of the skin and whether it has been fermented.
At this moment, the thin-skinned buns brought by Lu Gang were round and white and fat, and the pleats were beautiful and neat, which was no different from the buns of famous stores that Shao Qing usually saw on the street.
"Shizi, you taste." Ye Rou persuaded with great interest.
Shao Qing took the chopsticks in Lu Gang's hand and picked up one, bit open a small bit of skin, let the stuffing in it dissipate heat, and then took a big bite.
The diced eel meat is marinated in minced ginger, green onion juice and bean paste in advance, and when cooked, there is no fishy smell at all, only a rich fresh fragrance.
Shao Qing swallowed and said, "It's delicious." ”
Ye Rou explained: "His two dolls used to love to eat eel buns, and after he got off duty, he often went to the market to buy two drawers. Now that he is in a situation, he can't afford the eel buns in the Zhouqiao restaurant. ”
Shao Qing smiled lightly.
This woman has finally lost five or six points of the habits of the Liao people, and she puts sour cheese on all food.
Speaking of sourness, Shao Qing suddenly remembered the dishes that Yao Huan taught his aunt to make, so he said to Ye Rou: "You can learn another fish soup that the Song people love to make, cut the carp meat into shreds, and cook the soup with winter bamboo shoots, vinegar, and coriander." I ate it in Sufu, and it was very sour and delicious. ”
