Chapter 9, the bright gentleman plays Jiao'e

Yesterday I picked a lot of chestnuts, and I made a lot of chestnut cakes in the morning, and Lin Taohua divided some of them to taste at home, and the rest were ready to be sold in the city. Because she didn't find a suitable packaging box, Lin Taohua could only take out the only remaining red paper at home and cut it, and then asked Zhou Ming to write the name of the seal pastry on each wrapping paper, and then put a few peach blossoms, which looked very elegant overall.

"Brother Ming's handwriting is really good." The iron painting silver hook is romantic, and the full ink muscles and bones come out through the paper, which is really like the words, so that Lin Taohua, who just showed off yesterday, is ashamed of himself, and he is a little reluctant to wrap snacks with the wrapping paper.

Zhou Ming put down the brush, took out the wrapping paper in her hand that she had been watching for a long time, and said with a smile: "If you like it, you can write something else to you for your husband, this is still important to make money." ”

Lin Taohua looked at him sideways, her eyes shining with joy. "Then you write now."

The anticipation on her face, the bright light in the morning light, and her sweet and greasy voice directly crisped Zhou Ming's heart.

"Wait a minute, lady." With that, he walked straight back to his room.

Lin Taohua watched the gentle man turn away, and sensed a hint of impatience from his steady steps.

"Huh." Lin Taohua smiled, bowed her head and wrapped snacks gently.

She likes these beautiful words in her heart, and she is extraordinarily dedicated to wrapping them, not only to make the paper and snacks fit perfectly, but also to fully display the beauty of Mobao in a dignified manner.

"It's written for the husband, please taste it." Zhou Ming walked out of the door and handed the folded snow-white rice paper to Lin Taohua.

Lin Taohua wiped her hands, took it with a smile, and suddenly smelled the faint fragrance of flowers. She glanced at Zhou Ming in surprise, lowered her head and sniffed the paper, and the fragrance really came from the paper.

"Did the prime minister hide his private money? There is such a good fine rice paper. Lin Taohua carefully unfolded the paper while laughing, and a picture of a beautiful woman sleeping in autumn jumped on the paper, and a small poem was inscribed on the upper right.

"The moon shines brightly and the autumn frost is full, and the plain brocade is fragrant and the spring is strong. The ice muscles and snow are delicate and weak, and the green silk is bound to Tan Lang. ”

When Lin Taohua was distressed that he couldn't read the inscription on the painting, Zhou Ming suddenly leaned in and whispered it again.

"You, wandering!" She blushed, threw the paper to Zhou Ming and ran away.

In fact, although this poem is beautifully written, it is much better than the more explicit ones that Zhilin Taohua has heard in modern times, and the original reaction would not have been so intense, but she just got up from Zhou Ming's arms in the morning, and she will inevitably think about it when she hears this poem, where is she still staying.

Zhou Ming was stunned for a moment, wouldn't his heart be overdone? He picked up the picture of the beauty and was suspicious, but Lin Taohua went and returned, with a rouge face, kicked Zhou Ming, snatched the painting and turned back to the room.

Is this shy? Zhou Ming smiled and followed back to the room.

The two of them had some "small contradictions", which happened to be seen by Zhou Yuan, who was standing at the window, and frowned: "What is Brother Ming doing early in the morning?" No matter how I looked at Peach Blossom, my face turned red. ”

"Really?" Zhou Wang combed his hair and came over to see that there was no one in the courtyard, and there were a lot of snacks wrapped in red paper on the stone table.

"I'll take a look."

When Zhou Wang knocked on the door, Zhou Ming had just coaxed Lin Taohua, and he was holding a hairpin in his hand to stick to the peach blossom.

"Hurry up, my mother is getting up." Lin Taohua couldn't help but glare at him when she saw that he was still grinding.

Zhou Ming smiled, "This is not tangled, it will fall." ”

"Get it first, and then you can wrap it up at night." Lin Taohua looked eagerly at the wooden hairpin in his hand.

"It's a little reluctant for the lady to be so eager for her husband." This wooden hairpin was carved by Zhou Ming when he was fine, and he just used it to compensate her, but he didn't expect Lin Taohua to really like it, so he joked.

Lin Taohua was angry: "Brother Ming is so capricious, is it possible that he wants to give it to others?" ”

Zhou Ming was dumbfounded and said with a smile: "Why are you angry again?" Who else can you give it to if you don't give it to the lady? ”

"For your second aunt." Lin Taohua snatched the hairpin from his hand and thrust it on his head, got up and went to open the door, leaving Zhou Ming standing in place crying and laughing.

"Mother, you get up, Brother Ming and I made chestnut cakes, come and taste it."

Zhou Wang looked Lin Taohua up and down, and deliberately glanced at her chic peach blossom hairpin, then relieved himself and followed her to taste the pastry.

Lin Taohua placed Zhou Wang's family on the stone table in the courtyard, and called Zhou Yuan's father and son, and then went to the kitchen to check the snow ear soup. After an hour of boiling, the soup is crystal clear and has the fragrance of peach trees. She leaned over to smell it, her face was satisfied, and when she just wanted to put out a few bowls, the peach blossoms on the peach blossom hairpin fell into the soup, and soon melted in the soup and disappeared, and the next second the rich peach blossom fragrance wafted out from the snow ear soup and spread throughout the kitchen.

"Why does it smell so good?" Zhou Ming smelled the fragrance from a distance and walked in to ask.

Lin Taohua was still a little stunned, blinked her eyes and said, "Brother Ming, the peach blossoms on my hairpin fell into the pot, and then melted." ”

"Melted?" Zhou Ming stirred the smooth snow ear soup, and said thoughtfully: "The peach blossoms I put in the makeup box are actually bloomed on your body. ”

Lin Taohua's eyes widened, and she suddenly felt like she was covered in treasures.

"Although your body has never borne fruit, every year it always produces ten extraordinarily delicate flowers, like silk flowers that do not wither, and I have kept them in a box, and there are thirty since the peach tree sprouted. Now it seems that it should be the same as the peach that I gave my mother at the beginning, and it is also a good product for nourishment and recuperation. This thing is precious, it's better not to expose it, and it will be troublesome to provoke people like Kong Jingzhi again. ”

Lin Taohua looked at the soup and smiled: "It's okay, I have my own way." As he spoke, he took a few bowls out, and then instructed Zhou Ming to boil water, and brought the bowls to the family members in the courtyard.

"Crystal clear, sweet and smooth, not bad." Zhou Wen took a sip and praised it again and again.

Zhou Wang took a few bites, frowned slightly, and wondered: "How do I feel a bit like the few peaches that Peach Blossom gave me at the beginning?" ”

Hearing this, Zhou Yuan scooped out a transparent reddish-brown object from the bowl, looked at it carefully, and asked, "This is peach gum?" ”

Lin Taohua remembered that there were not only peach blossoms that fell into her soup, but also peach gum that was put in the morning. She was secretly glad that she didn't stare at her body when she picked rubber this morning, otherwise she wouldn't dare to take out this soup and sell it.

"Dad, it's peach gum, it's good to eat some of this thing."

Zhou Wang put down the spoon, pulled Lin Taohua and said seriously: "Peach Blossom, your peach tree is very magical, you must be careful, if you are targeted by some black-hearted people, it will be difficult to protect your little life." ”

Lin Taohua squatted beside Zhou Wang's and smiled: "Mother, I know, I won't come blind, don't worry." ”

Zhou Wang's smiled and ate the soup in the bowl cleanly.

After Zhou Ming boiled the water, Lin Taohua mixed a small pot of soup into a large bucket in front of him, and then tasted the snow ear soup mixed with water, and then instructed Zhou Ming to set up a car and go to Qiongya County.

Zhoujia Village is not too far from Qiongya County, and the ox cart has been shaking for half an hour.

The county seat is really much more prosperous than the countryside, entering the city gate, there are some small storefronts on both sides of the street from time to time, the more you go inside, the more storefronts there are, and the men and women on the street come and go.

Lin Taohua saw the ancient market for the first time, and it was strange to see everything, and she was dizzying along the way, but fortunately she remembered to dispose of the items in her hand first, and did not run off the ox cart without permission.

"Where are we going? Restaurants? Zhou Ming asked Lin Taohua.

Originally, Lin Taohua wanted to go to the restaurant, after all, snow ear soup is a food, but now that it is mixed with peach blossoms, it suddenly has the medicinal effect of nourishing and recuperating, and she can use snow ear soup to sell the "exclusive secret medicine". Yes, Lin Taohua directly asked Zhou Ming to drive the car to the Rejuvenation Hall, the largest pharmacy in Qiongya County.

The young man from the Rejuvenation Hall was dispensing prescriptions, and when he saw the guests warmly greeted him, he asked with a smile: "How many of you are seeing a doctor or grabbing medicine?" ”

Lin Taohua said with a smile: "Don't hide it from my little brother, I have a family secret medicine with a very good curative effect, I heard that the owner of the Rejuvenation Hall attaches great importance to precious prescriptions, so I came to visit with my grandson this time." ”

The young man saw that Lin Taohua and Zhou Ming were dressed simply, and they really didn't look like people with treasures, so he tactfully informed them that the owner was not there, hoping that Lin Taohua would leave on his own.

Lin Taohua is also in the service industry in modern times, and he is clear about the usual trick of not wanting to see people. After listening to the guy's words, he didn't get angry, and Xiaoyan waited in the lobby.

The young man said in his heart, the owner has been busy and rarely comes to the store recently, and he is not afraid that the two sides will collide, so he added a cup of tea to them and went to be busy, just waiting for Lin Taohua and Zhou Ming to leave by themselves.

Zhou Ming smiled: "This little guy fools you, their owner is not necessarily there." ”

Lin Taohua smiled and said: "I naturally know, don't worry, I should change them to beg me later." ”
