Chapter 187: New Year's Flavor Leads the Way
"As the old saying goes, the friendship of a gentleman is as light as water, and the friendship of a villain is sweet, although my wife and I are not considered gentlemen, but we also like to be vassals and elegant, and I hope that Mrs. will not mind." The dumb lady heard the joke in her words, and followed her words.
Xiaoyun and Lin Xiao also sat next to Feng Xiaoyue, Lin Xiao held her chin, and simply ignored the dumb riddle between the two of her if she didn't understand it, only Xiaoyun was confused.
"If the dumb lady thinks so, it's a pity, I envy the villain's friend." Feng Xiaoyue
"Tsk", shook his head very regretfully, and put down the gloves on his left hand to warm his hands.
The dumb lady pursed her mouth, did not continue to tease each other with Feng Xiaoyue, and looked at these dishes, and suddenly guessed the reason.
The wild vegetables on the table were originally brought back by the girls in the building on a whim who took advantage of their free time in the past few days to dig up a large basket by the river.
I was going to ask the cook to make it and send some to the dumb girl, but the time when Feng Xiaoyue arrived happened to be the meal, and the little two thought it was a deliberately arranged dish for hospitality.
At the same time, Xiao Er was still muttering in his heart, the dumb lady just didn't like the guests who came over today, so she wouldn't be rude to let the family eat these things.
In this case, this is really a misunderstanding. The dumb girl chuckled, moved by the hearts of the girls in the building, and thought about making another joke with Feng Xiaoyue.
"No matter what, the guest is as he pleases, although the host is a little inconsiderate, but presumably the guest should not dislike it, and please accept it with a smile." The dumb lady said, and put a few vegetables in front of her to Feng Xiaoyue's position.
"It's just a few vegetarian dishes, and it's not uncommon." Feng Xiaoyue vaguely felt that the dumb girl was on a par with herself, and suddenly agreed to it in a moment's anger, and then realized that something was wrong.
Although wild vegetables have many benefits for the human body, both to promote digestion and to strengthen the body, the only disadvantage is that it tastes slightly inferior.
In particular, some rare wild vegetables grown in the deep mountains and old forests have experienced many years of wind and rain, but they are still tenacious and unyielding.
When you eat this kind of vegetable leaf in your mouth, you can make people feel the vicissitudes of its past very clearly. It is almost different from medicinal herbs, but because of its rich taste, it is more indescribable than medicinal herbs.
Seeing that the chopsticks that Feng Xiaoyue had raised were in the middle of being done, the dumb lady looked away and held back the smile in her heart.
And Feng Xiaoyue had already boasted that it would be too embarrassing to take back Haikou like this, so she moved her chopsticks to add the dishes to Xiaoyun's bowl.
The dumb lady is warm and real, making it difficult for people to pronounce the word refusal. It's just a pity that I'm not too hungry now, and if I force myself to eat and hold on, it's not good. Feng Xiaoyue smiled at Xiaoyun, and then put the chopsticks on the table with satisfaction.
"I've walked so far outside today, I should be hungry for Xiaoyun on weekdays, and you don't have to be restrained here in the dumb girl, you can eat first and then talk to us." It was originally a joke between Feng Xiaoyue and the dumb girl, but it was Xiaoyun who suffered in the end.
Lin Xiao, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but tremble with laughter, and Xiaoyun hadn't figured out what was going on, so he looked at the dishes in his bowl in a daze, and then glanced at Feng Xiaoyue and Lin Xiao sadly.
While the people at this table were talking, the dumb lady raised her head and saw a stranger at the door, and she turned her head back and forth a few times, and her face suddenly became serious.
Feng Xiaoyue noticed that something was not quite right with the dumb girl, and turned her head curiously, just in time to see Mr. Rocky walking in very excitedly.
"It turns out that it's really Madam, I just looked at your back outside and it felt very similar, but I didn't expect that I wouldn't recognize you when you changed your clothes, I'm really embarrassed." Rocky said as he strode very frankly in front of Feng Xiaoyue and them, and when he saw the dumb girl again, he gentlemanly took off the hat on his head and put it on his chest, bowing slightly.
"It's really a great place for people, beautiful girls, people like Madame, one after another. I don't know what this girl is called, but I'm Rocky. Marco polo. Although the dumb lady didn't like to talk to strange men, she still stood up politely and returned the handrail salute.
With the new guest Rocky standing next to him, Feng Xiaoyue naturally didn't have a reason to sit here. Standing up at the same time, Feng Xiaoyue introduced the dumb girl to Rocky by the way.
"This is the proprietress of Liuxiang Building, dumb lady." Feng Xiaoyue almost asked Rocky to come over and take care of the business, but she was a little disconnected from the tricks in Liuxiang Building, so she didn't say anything.
"Dumb girl? What a strange name, doesn't the girl have a name? Rocky came from somewhere else, and could barely recognize the difference between the first and last names, but when he heard the name dumb girl, it was still a little difficult to understand.
Hearing this, Feng Xiaoyue was also a little stunned, she had dealt with the dumb girl for so long, and it seemed that she really didn't know her real name.
looked at the dumb lady with inquiring eyes, but the dumb lady had a faint expression, lowered her eyes, and didn't seem to intend to tell.
"Sir, you don't have to ask so much, just call us that." Feng Xiaoyue didn't want to force her, after all, her name was just a codename, and she didn't pay so much attention to it.
"But speaking of which, how did Mr. Lodge come here? Is there a store that Mr. Lodge has partnered with? ”
"Ah, I like tea in the Central Plains very much, there is a teahouse very close to here, her tea is the best, I came here to buy it." Rocky took his hat back and pulled out a packet of tea wrapped in oiled paper from the inside pocket of his coat.
"But her family's tea is too expensive, and she can only drink it a few times, and she can't afford it if she has more." Rocky laughed twice, Feng Xiaoyue laughed a little, and then asked,
"Didn't the people in Mr. Rocky's hometown like the flower tea I told Mr. Rocky before?"
"Not really, they're all very popular." As if he was afraid that Feng Xiaoyue would misunderstand, Rocky hurriedly waved his hand.
"It's just that I want to be closer to the style of the Central Plains people, so I want to drink the tea that the people here like."
"I see, now that the Chinese New Year is coming up, does Mr. Rocky plan when to leave? In a few days, it will be difficult for many people to walk on this road. Feng Xiaoyue lowered her head and chewed on the words in his words just now, and said a casual greeting.
"It's this New Year, people in our hometown don't have this custom, I heard that the people in the city are very lively during the New Year, I don't know when to leave, and I want to join in the fun here and go back." As if something interesting was mentioned, Rocky's eyes lit up.
It is really rare for outsiders to be particularly interested in the customs of the Central Plains, Feng Xiaoyue and the dumb girl glanced at each other, and Feng Xiaoyue continued with his words.
"I don't know who Mr. Lodge listened to, but he is right, the New Year is very interesting here, but Mr. Lodge probably doesn't know how to celebrate the New Year."
"If you don't mind, we happen to be acquaintances, so I'll take Mr. around to appreciate the customs of the New Year on our side."
"If that's the case, thank you so much, ma'am." Luo Qi was happy and bowed to Feng Xiaoyue again.
Feng Xiaoyue obviously noticed that the dumb lady was a little uncomfortable when she saw Rocky, so she took the initiative to lead Rocky out, and specially turned around to give a word of advice before leaving.
"Although these things like perfume and rouge look beautiful and extravagant, if the group of ladies know that they bought it from you, they are afraid that some of them will make trouble. Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, let's not have more rights and wrongs, let's close the door and rest early, and I'll come to talk to you when I'm free. ”
"Hmm." Of course I know. The dumb lady didn't speak, only gave a response from her nose. Feng Xiaoyue nodded lightly when she heard it, and led Xiaoyun and Lin Xiao to go shopping.
"During the Chinese New Year, in addition to being particular about food and clothing, we are also used to decorating our homes." Feng Xiaoyue's hands were shrunk in the gloves, and she walked generously on the street with Rocky, but it would not be noticeable.
Now is a good time for families to prepare. No matter which street or alley you turn from, you can see vendors with red paper curtains and melon seeds and peanuts.
Feng Xiaoyue walked to a stall selling door couplets and stopped, stretched out her right hand, and picked up a Fuwa paper-cut holding a goldfish lotus.
"Mr. Lodge knew that the door couplets and banners were affixed to the door frames, and that the cut-outs were used to decorate the windows. Of course, if you like it, you can also stick it on a pillar or table. Rocky looked at the red paper in front of him, which was outlined in a hollow way, and couldn't help but admire it, and almost couldn't put it down.
But Feng Xiaoyue thought he didn't like it, so he put the paper cut back in the next moment.
"Of course, all these things are ready, and they are all things that a large family can do. Some commoners prefer to cut their own. Mr. Lodge should be the first time to spend the New Year with us, so you don't have to be so particular, and it doesn't matter if you don't want this paper cut. ”
"How can this work, I like to do things from the beginning to the end, since I said that I must be ready, I can't break my promise." Rocky was afraid that Feng Xiaoyue would lead him to another place, and left the paper-cutting behind, so he simply asked the stall owner to choose a paper-cut and paid directly.
Feng Xiaoyue couldn't help but be a little surprised when she looked at the large pile of paper-cuts in his arms. Looking at Rocky's expression a little hideous, it was more like love turned into hatred in the depths, and the more strange it felt in my heart.
"Mr. Rocky, I've been to a lot of places today, it's not early now, it's troublesome for you to go back, why don't you go back to our house for dinner, my husband hasn't seen you for a long time, just chat, and please taste what we eat for the New Year." The princess of the pastoral world, the lady please go back to the house Chapter 187 of the latest chapter: New Year's flavor leads the way.
