Chapter 143 Pomegranate Beads (1)

Xing Ruyi squatted on the side of the Nai He Bridge, watching those who had already thought about reincarnation, receiving the number plates from the ghosts one by one, and then either expressionless, or excited, or hesitantly walked to Meng Po, took a bowl of Meng Po soup and drank it, and then continued to walk forward.

Every ghost, before being reincarnated, hopes to find a good family in the next life.

But what is the definition of a good person?

She took out the advisor ID she had placed on her and looked at the words on it in a daze. At first, she was just curious, curious about what Chang Tai was doing after he was reincarnated. She thought that the criminal police and the arrest were of similar nature, but after she had in-depth contact with those cases, she found that the cases themselves were not terrible, and the details hidden in those cases were the most sadistic.

He lifted his advisor's credentials, closed his eyes, and gently threw them out. But in less than half a second, the document that was thrown out was back in his own hands. When she opened her eyes and saw the fox, she wanted to raise the corners of her lips and smile coquettishly at him, but what she pulled out was a touch of reluctant bitterness.

She lowered her head, held the document in her hand and said, "I'm in a bad mood, but it's not because of people, but because of something I can't figure out." ”

"I know." The fox touched Xing Ruyi's head, "So, you come to the Nai He Bridge to find the answer." ”

"Life is short, the cycle of cause and effect, good or bad, seems to be over in the blink of an eye. I also know that it's useless to think so much, just ask your heart and do what you want to do. But fox, I feel like my heart is also confused, I don't seem to know what I'm going to do next. ”

"It's okay, I'll be with you." The fox also squatted down and stared at her with a pair of beautiful fox eyes: "Close your eyes and think slowly, no matter what my little Ruyi wants to do, I will accompany you." ”

Xing Ruyi looked at the fox, was silent for a while, tilted his head lightly on his shoulder, and gently closed his eyes.

In my mind, what came to mind was the situation when she had just gone to Datang with the fox......

As soon as the sting passed, the spring cold intensified, and a sudden spring rain made the temperature of the entire Luoyang City drop again in an instant.

Xing Ruyi held an oil-paper umbrella, stepped on the shallow stagnant water on the ground, carried a full vegetable basket, and walked into the Ruyi rouge shop briskly. Thick cotton curtains are hung on the shop to block the chill outside. When she entered the shop, she put the food on the counter, first pinched the frozen ears with her hands, and then rubbed her hands to hug the fox who was still lying on the windowsill.

The fox looked at her in disgust, but she was still obediently picked up.

"Stingy, it's just to hug you to keep warm, look what kind of eyes you have."

Xing Ruyi said, turning his face sideways and sticking his frozen and somewhat sore ears to the fox's supple fur.

"I finally know why ancient people like to hunt, and why they like to peel animal fur, in this era of no down jackets, no heating, this soft, warm hair is really too comfortable."

Before Xing Ruyi finished speaking, the fox glanced at her obliquely.

"Okay, okay, just talk, don't worry, I will never skin you." Xing Ruyi pinched the fox's ears with a smile: "I thought it was cold today, and there weren't many vegetable sellers in the market, but I never thought that there were more than a dozen stalls." I was going to pick up some good food to buy, but I ran into an aunt in ragged clothes. In such a cold weather, she was only wearing a single dress, and the single dress was still sewn. I felt sad, so I wanted to give her some silver taels and let her buy some warm clothes, but she looked at me with a pair of frightened eyes as if she was frightened. Thanks to my cleverness, I quickly said that I was buying vegetables, and I wanted all the cabbage and radishes she sold. ”

The fox glanced at the cabbage and turnips in the basket, which looked a little worse, but they were fresh, the kind that had just been picked from the ground.

Xing Ruyi warmed one ear, changed sides, and went to warm the other. The fox let her toss, and although he looked disdainful, he always cooperated.

"If other traders saw me take so much silver taels to buy a few cabbage radishes, they would be afraid that they would have reached out and snatched them with a smile. But my aunt only took a small piece of money from my hand full of broken silver, and said that it was enough. I asked her who else was in the family, and she said that her son and daughter-in-law were gone, and there was only a little grandson left, and the grandparents and grandchildren depended on each other. As I listened, I felt more and more pitiful for her, as if I thought of myself. When I was a child, I also depended on my grandfather. ”

"She doesn't necessarily want you to help her." The fox opened in a cool voice.

"Of course I do. Some people, although poor, have backbone. Some people, although rich, have no conscience. However, as long as I want to help someone, I will definitely find a way to help her. As for me, I couldn't help but say, I stuffed all the broken silver to her, saying that I would pay for the vegetables in advance, and I would want all the dishes of her family in the future. ”

"So what?"

"So...... We've been eating turnips and cabbage for a long time. Xing Ruyi grinned.

"I'm a fox, I don't have to eat." The fox glanced at the cabbage and radish in the basket again, "Moreover, the fox eats meat and does not eat vegetarian." ”

"It's not good to eat meat, look at you, you're so fat, it's easy to eat three highs." Xing Ruyi poked the fox's stomach with his hand: "I know what you are afraid of, don't worry, I will definitely conquer your stomach with my cooking skills." ”

After speaking, Xing Ruyi put the fox back on the windowsill, and he arrogantly carried a basket of cabbage and radishes to the back kitchen.

Hearing the sound of ping-pong in the back kitchen, the fox was not at ease, so he simply jumped down from the windowsill and followed in with elegant steps.

There was no imaginary messy scene, the little woman in his eyes had already rolled up her sleeves, tied her apron, and peeled another carrot with her hands and feet.

"Peel the carrots, then cut them into cubes, cook them in boiling water, drain them and set aside. Then pour two spoonfuls of oil into the pot, heat up, add minced green onion and ginger and stir-fry until fragrant, then add soy sauce, sugar, Shao wine, add an appropriate amount of water, and pour in carrots. Finally, pour in pepper oil and stir-fry well. ”

As Xing Ruyi's words landed, a plate of braised radish was also brought to the fox. She smiled and looked at it with a very flattering gaze: "Taste it, my craftsmanship is at the level of a small chef." ”

The fox stared at the turnips on the plate, and said in disgust, "I don't like to eat turnips." ”

"Well, a good fox can't be a picky eater. You've already hurt your vitality, if you don't make up for it well, when will you be able to turn back to the pretty man you used to be. Obedient, this radish is the most qi-replenishing. ”

Pick up a piece of braised radish with chopsticks and send it to the fox's mouth: "It's good to give some face, I don't dislike you as a fox, you still dislike the radish I made." ”

"I'm not disgusted, I just don't like to eat turnips." Obviously with a disgusted expression, the fox can still tell lies calmly. It's a pity that this lie can't deceive Xingruyi.

"Whether you dislike it or don't like it, I'll ask you a word now? Whether you eat it or not, if you don't, I'll get your fox skinned right now. ”

Others are angry when they are angry, but Xing Ruyi is different, she is just the kind with anger in her eyes and a smile on her face, she looks quite scheming and very dangerous. The fox thought about it, but still thought that it was better not to mess with a neurotic woman, so he reluctantly opened his mouth.

"That's good." Xing Ruyi smiled and sent the radish to the fox's mouth, and then asked, "How does it taste?" ”

"It's unpalatable!" The fox dropped two words, turned and went out.

"Unpalatable? How dare you say that the braised radish I made is unpalatable. Stinky fox, dead fox, no wonder you can only be a fox for the rest of your life. Because you can't tell the difference between the simplest and the worst. Xing Ruyi put the plate back on the table, crossed his waist with chopsticks, and shouted at the fox who had already walked to the door: "Believe it or not, even if you become a human in the future, I will not cook for you to eat." ”

"I'm not done yet." The fox turned his head: "It's unpalatable, it was made by someone else." What you did was not bad, but it was a little bit worse than the braised radish made in the gluttonous building. ”

"Where's the difference?" Xing Ruyi asked very seriously.

"The braised radish in the gluttonous building is fried in human oil, which is more in line with the appetite of the monsters. You're fried in soybean oil, and it's light for youkai. ”

"You've finally admitted you're a demon?" Xing Ruyi picked up the spatula and pointed it at the fox: "Xiao'er, I didn't admit it before, I was obviously a male fox spirit, but I pretended to be a fairy." Also Qingqiu, you don't see much of my mythological stories. ”

The fox ignored Xingruyi's chatter, but turned his head, raised his feet, and stepped over the threshold of the small kitchen.

"Let's make another radish ball, there will be customers in the shop later!"

"Guests? What guests? ”

"The first guest welcomed by Ruyi Rouge Shop." The fox looked back nonchalantly: "Is it possible, do you hope that there will be no customers in this shop all the time?" ”

"Joke, the one who opens the door to do business hopes that he will be cold and sparse, and he wants it to be lively. I was just...... It's just not ready to open the door yet. However, you can rest assured, I will definitely do my best to facilitate our first business after the opening of Ruyi Rouge Shop. ”

"Then prepare a radish ball, the guests will be arriving soon."

Xing Ruyi took a deep breath, turned around, and continued to fight with the radish, and just finished the radish balls, he heard someone in front of him ask in a timid voice: "Is there anyone?" Is the shopkeeper absent? I want to buy some lipstick. ”

Lipstick, which is what later generations called lipstick.

In the Tang Dynasty, lipstick and rouge can also be used universally, they are usually packed in small boxes or cans, and they are directly dipped and coated with fingers. In the past, most of the lipsticks were bright vermilion, but after the Tang Dynasty, sandalwood dotted lips began to become popular, and this sandalwood color is today's nude color, which is still popular in later generations.

Xing Ruyi responded while hurriedly tearing off his apron, straightening his makeup and running forward. Lifting the curtain of the side door, I saw a girl with pale lips standing timidly in the doorway.
