Chapter 122: Mooncakes
After the "little tail" applauded with everyone, she found that the "Xuan Yu" she brought was damaged by the slapping action, and she was very frustrated, she felt that the reason why Sister Shang Wu was able to dance so beautifully was because of this "Xuan Yu", or the effect brought by the tooth-colored yarn streamer, and she couldn't learn it because she couldn't use these two things.
Shang Wu noticed the expression of the "little tail" and guessed her thoughts, so he walked up to her, put the tooth-colored streamer he used to dance just now on her shoulder, smiled and comforted her, and said, "Sister likes it, this towel is for you!" Don't be happy! ”
"Little Tail" threw away the damaged feathers in his hands, grabbed the streamers with both hands, and learned the way Sister Shang Wu danced, opening the bow left and right, and dancing twice in a fake style, but the body, eyes, footwork, and other places, none of them could be coordinated, it was completely a "Gu Dong can't take care of the west, Gu head can't take care of the feet" Wild road blind dance, this time, she was discouraged, and hung her hands again, grabbed the streamers, and asked with an unwilling look:
"Sister Shang Wu, you can dance beautifully, why don't I do it?"
"Everything in the world, the fate has its reason, the rules are round, the moment is square, to dance beautifully, there is a spectrum, follow the spectrum, practice diligently, over time, it can be natural. If my sister wants to learn, I can teach you! However, don't be in a hurry, this is not something that can be achieved in a day. Sister Shang Wu explained softly.
What kind of fairy sister is this! She looks beautiful and speaks so reasonably, if only I had such a sister! "Little Tail" thought to herself, she likes this beautiful business sister more and more, and she really wants to take her back and be with her every day.
"It's good, 'Little Tail' has finally shifted the focus to Shang Wu, please stick to it for a few more years! Please, please! ”
Xiang Zhong saw that the relationship between the two sisters was getting better and better, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and silently recited the "Sending God Mantra".
"Yes, yes! Sister Wu, then can you talk to your father, can you stay at Brother Dan's house for a few more days, by the way, and my future husband ——— Xiangzhong, I learn dance from you, he talks to Brother Dan, my brother and Brother You learn archery, and the two ladies can also exchange weaving, top? ”
The "little tail" is a big ghost, but he has a very leading style, and he is unceremonious, and he has arranged the work for the next few days for everyone.
"Naturally, as it should! If we come from a long distance, how can we return easily, so that we lose our courtesy? Sister Shang Wu didn't need to ask her father at all, this was the proper procedure in the ceremony, why bother, she immediately nodded with a smile and answered for her father.
On the side of Doctor Shang, seeing that the children in the hall were so polite, he happily stroked his beard and nodded, smiling and approving it.
Since the schedule has been arranged clearly by the "little tail", although everyone feels a little less formal, but it is really implemented in accordance with this arrangement, and it can be regarded as the "little tail" when it first came to the anti-guest-oriented, the host followed the guest once, no way, the fairy tale is unscrupulous, everyone will only find it interesting, and it is harmless, what does it matter if it is done, as long as it is reasonable, there is a slight impropriety, and it can be understood.
"The setting moon and the setting moon", the highlight of natural moon appreciation, is the climax of this gathering.
Although this is an era without electricity, it is precisely the best external conditions for stargazing and moon viewing! All places on earth are the best observation points of the "Milky Way"! With this condition, it is no wonder that there are so many astronomers! The natural conditions for stargazing at night are really superior.
Although the old mansion is not luxurious, there are still conditions for lighting a few night-lit oil lamps, after all, his son was a civil servant in the Zhou Dynasty, and the economic conditions of the merchant doctor are not bad, so he will not try to save money on these oil lamps on this festive night. Especially to entertain the guests of the Song Kingdom who came from afar, it is naturally well prepared.
Although Chen Guo was still governing in the hands of the weak at this time, in fact, the country had already leaked everywhere, and in the face of the tiger eyeing of Chu State, he had already lived like a frightened bird, taking care of himself, and he had no time to take care of himself, and he also had a good deal with the management of the people, and he could get by on the face.
Since the old lady lived in Chen Guo, she has also lived in peace, and she doesn't want to go to Zhou with her son.
In the Central Plains, at that time, it was still a period when the earth was warm, so even if it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, there was no special chill to invade people, but a bumper harvest, full of autumn colors, farmers, some were in the mood, and they had a good time celebrating on this full moon night.
The "Glutinous Rice Cake and Sweet Cake" from Suzhou is the most delicious festive food at this time, and the earliest authentic "moon cake" in the land of China.
Although Chen Guo is still wheat, barley as the main food, but the festival is special, from the south of the Yangtze River newly harvested rice, also traded, according to the traditional practice, the old lady, in advance of the glutinous rice soaked, steamed, and then beaten into a fine and sticky "North Korean cake" like, and then these sun-dried, finely grinded, mixed with water, on the iron and stone slab, lightly smeared a layer of festival before willing to kill pigs, a rare layer of thin lard, and then with a gourd made of scoop on a spoonful of glutinous rice flour that was stirred evenly, spread into a small round cake one by one, under the slate, The temperature of the charcoal is just right, so that this small "moon cake" has time, calmly accompanied by the "sizzling" sound of the oil being heated and slightly fried, and the gentle popping sound, and at the same time, it can also "fried" the "halazi" in the mouth together, wait for one side to be slightly browned, and then turn it over, the sweet and fragrant glutinous rice baked together will be thick and full of air together, impacting the nose, ears, eyes, and stomach of every diner near the baking tray...... Heart!
The baked "moon cakes" were picked up and placed on a plate prepared in advance, piled higher and higher, and the "little tail" was like a "assembly line" processing process, faithfully guarding the side of this plate, coming out and eating one; One more comes out, another one eats...... Finally, Ji Yu couldn't stand it anymore, ran over and pulled her aside, and said:
"Don't eat it anymore! It's so rude, it's so shameless! ”
"Little Tail" just thinks it's delicious, such a delicious freshly baked "moon cake", but she eats it for the first time in her life, once this gluttonous worm is hooked, where can she control it, at the moment when her brother dragged her away, she bit half of the cake in her hand, and both hands went up together, grabbed a cake each, and then opened her innocent big eyes, winked at her brother coquettishly, smiling, with a "I'll eat, what can you do with me" little Laipi expression.
Well, in front of the food, the "little tail" has become a "little reip".
