Chapter 81: Shabu-shabu on a snowy day

It's still the familiar recipe, and it's still the same taste.

Liu Chenxing can hear the taste, the woman is the matchmaker.

Looking at the helplessness looming between Ah Niang's eyebrows on the side, she was even more determined in her heart, so she smiled lightly: "At the time of this New Year, I have sworn that I will not be a Jinshi for a day, and I will not be a family for a day!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the smile on the woman's face changed.

Even Liu frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything more when he saw that there were still outsiders.

Liu Chenxing didn't seem to notice it, and said with a smile unchanged: "For me, only the day I get the Jinshi is a great joy." I don't know what Grandma is happy about, why? ”

Now that all has been said, how can the woman say more?

The woman is also about to be fifty years old, there are several grandchildren, and she has been talking to people everywhere in the countryside of the county, and all kinds of people have seen it, so they can see whether Liu Chenxing's words were unintentional or deliberate.

It's just that those who run their line of work have always pursued harmony and make money, just for the sake of the rich matchmaker's wealth, and she won't throw her face.

But this little lady is also too angry, she is born well, and she is the daughter of a woman, and she has read books for a few years, so she is so ignorant of the height of the sky, she also said with a smile: "Little lady, it's good to have ambitions, but don't flash your waist with your tongue!" Especially if you make an oath casually, if you offend the gods, no matter how great the blessing is! ”

is still talking in a good voice, but the sarcasm between the words is obvious.

And so it is.

It is difficult to take the Jinshi exam, especially for female Jinshi.

She, a small peasant girl who has not even participated in the county test, makes such an oath, and it is inevitable that people will ridicule her wherever she goes. Even if her aunt is a woman, her uncle is a higher junior high-ranking scholar.

Liu Chenxing knew it in his heart and was not annoyed at all.

The woman saw that Liu Chenxing was not polite when she spoke, but she didn't reply with any good words, but Liu Chenxing didn't see the slightest annoyance, and felt a lot of peace in her heart, so she just thought that the little lady was young and vigorous, not to mention that she still wanted to get that rich reward, so she smiled and squinted again, turned to Liu and said: "Liu Juren, the old woman said that this family is a big family in the county, and she will go to the countryside to be a parent, and she also fell in love with Ling Di High School Jinshi, Liu Ju people have a talent for reading, and I hope that Liu Ju people will think about it more, don't miss the great blessing." ”

After that, he picked up the oil-paper umbrella leaning against the eaves of the courtyard gate and walked away in three steps.

Seeing people walking away, Liu slapped his daughter's back with a palm and said angrily: "The bigger the more nonsense!" When I was a child, I could say that there was no taboo, but now I can't! Do you know who that is? If the words of the oath are preached, how can they be born? ”

She just knew who she said that.

I wish the oath could spread in the matchmaker circle.

Then there will be no one to match her anymore.

But you can't say this to A-Niang, otherwise you will definitely stab the hornet's nest.

Liu Chenxing only didn't understand Liu's words, so he diverted the topic and said, "Auntie, let's go into the house quickly!" I'm cold and hungry! ”

On the way back, I can endure one or two in a hurry.

At this time, standing under the eaves of the courtyard gate, the wet clothes and wet shoes on his body were blown by the cold wind, and it was really cold that people couldn't stand it.

When he said that, Liu Chenxing stomped his feet and rubbed his hands, how could he still have the cold style when he was studying in the village.

Knowing her daughter Mo Ruo's mother, her daughter has been in the world since she was a child, and today's words are obviously intentional.

The Liu family really felt a headache, and their son didn't say anything from their uncle Liu Wensu, and now even their daughter has learned one with them.

Fortunately, her daughter is young, and the world is the most forgetful, and it is estimated that she will not remember it after a few years.

Seeing that her daughter was covered with snow from head to toe, and her hands and face exposed outside her clothes were frozen red, she suddenly felt distressed, and she was busy dusting off the snow on her body for her daughter, and at the same time she muttered: "It's not that A-Niang said you, why don't you wait for the snow to be smaller!" Even if you are hungry, you can also pay for it in the village school! Seeing that your clothes are wet, what should you do if you suffer from the cold? ”

Liu Chenxing couldn't say anything about his suffering, so he could only let the Liu family talk about himself.

While the mother and daughter were talking, they came to the main hall.

Liu Qianli has carpentry skills, and he is also a good hunter, and he can make money very much.

The Liu family is a female lifter registered in the imperial court, and she has a monthly salary of consistent money.

The husband and wife are both diligent and thrifty people, and Liu Chenxing's ideas for making money are quite good, and the life of this family is getting better and better.

The three dilapidated thatched huts that were once sheltered from the wind and snow have long been demolished and rebuilt.

The three main houses, the east and west wings, and the whole five rooms have caught up with the housing level of the old Liu family - rammed earth walls, and the wooden roof trusses are covered with thatch.

In the spacious and bright main hall, Liu knew that his daughter was coming back at noon, and when he saw that it was snowing outside, he piled a lot of dry wood in the hearth of the main hall early in the morning, and added flammable pine resin, which burned the hearth very strongly.

Even if the main hall is for lighting, there is no south wall, and it is supported by two wooden columns. But with the eaves stretching forward, coupled with the blazing hearth, Liu Chenxing took off his soaked grass shoes, and as soon as he entered the hall, there was warm hot air rushing in his face.

When she returned to the main hall from the right room on the side, that is, her room, she had already set up a small iron pot on the hearth, and the mutton soup was boiling in it.

The mutton soup was stewed before dawn this morning, and in the morning, the mutton had been stewed to a very soft point, and even the bone oil in the mutton bones was stewed out.

Immersed in the warm aroma of food, the pores of the whole body were stretched, Liu Chenxing ran to the hearth in the main hall in a few steps, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, looking drunk and comfortable, and sighed: "It's so fragrant!" It's been such a happy day! ”

The people of the time were happy to express their feelings, but there was no subtle and conservative ancients as modern people thought, Liu Shi listened to his daughter's emotion, and couldn't help but chuckle: "A pot of soup captured you?" The definition of your happiness is also too easy. When he said that, he had scooped a small bowl of soup and let Liu Chenxing drink the pioneer to ward off the cold.

The mutton soup is fresh out of the pot and still smoking white.

Liu Chenxing was really hungry, so he didn't care about blowing it, so he took a sip by the stoneware bowl.

It's still a little hot, but the aroma of the mutton soup has long overshadowed the slight hotness.

When the fragrant mutton soup is swallowed, it seems that all the five swelling and six intestines are warmed up.

Isn't that enough happiness?

As soon as I came back from the icy and snowy outside, there was A-Niang's shh

and although the family is not rich, it is also rich and well-fed, which is much stronger than eight years ago.

But now is not the time to sigh, A-Niang brought a plate of Chinese cabbage from the kitchen, that is, modern Chinese cabbage to shabu the soup pot, and then took an empty bowl and scooped a small spoonful of soybean sauce, and poured a spoonful of mutton soup as a dipping sauce.

In addition to the side dishes, these are a little less, and the dipping sauce is not green pepper, millet, spicy white bean curd, and some coriander, which is no different from the modern mutton soup pot.

Liu Chenxing feasted on satisfaction.
