Bypassing the grocery sellers, and then walking one or two hundred meters to the east, there is a gathering place for small food stalls, Gorou sighed: "When it is summer, lotus root, water chestnut, chicken head and water chestnut are on the market, and you can eat Yunying noodles, but unfortunately you can't taste it at this time." ”

Banniang Qi said: "Fifth brother, what is Yunying noodles?" ”

Gorou slapped her on the head: "Didn't the fifth brother take you out to eat last summer?" At that time, you snatched the fifth brother's plate and ate it, and when you went back at night and had a swelling stomach, you tossed all night, so that the fifth brother was scolded by the second brother, saying that you are weak, how can you eat so many cold things, why, forget it so quickly? ”

Last summer? Last summer, she was busy at the hot Canton Fair for her design conference, where did she accompany him to eat Yunying noodles?

Although Wulang's knock was not painful, it also made her scalp a little numb, and Banniang muttered: "It's just a bowl of noodles, if I don't have the strength to roll noodles, I have to make a bowl of noodles that are more delicious than your Yunying noodles." ”

Gorou naturally didn't hear what she was muttering.

In fact, this is a misunderstanding of Banniang's own misunderstanding of the lives of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, the noodles that Wulang said are not some long strips of thin noodles in her previous life, in the Great Song Dynasty, everything made with pasta can be called cakes, such as boiled noodles, it is called soup cakes, not noodles, but this Yunying noodles, called noodles, in fact, not noodles.

Qi Niang said kindly, and explained on the side: "This Yunying noodles are a bit like the preserved painted roast that we Jiangnan people like to make, there is everything in it, and the Panyou rice buried in the rice is cooked, the taste is similar, that is, the lotus root, lotus, water chestnut, taro, chicken head, water chestnut, mushroom, lily, mixed together, choose clean meat, rotten steaming." Then the wind is dried, and then the fine crushing in the stone mortar, plus the sugar and dense in Shu, steamed, and then pounded in the mortar, the molasses and the original food mix evenly, and then take it out, knead it into a ball, and when it is cold and hard, when you want to eat, you can cut it with a knife and eat it. ”

God, it's so complicated? Banniang was stunned when she heard it. By Qi Niang's detailed explanation, she really wants to taste it, because the family has eaten happily these days, but often talk about the food eaten outside, Banniang has basically never heard of it, like what "fake fried meat", "crab stuffed orange" and "crispy Qiong leaves", some are simple and delicious, and some are complex and exquisite, which is not something that ordinary people can afford. In addition, there is a favorite delicacy of the nobles in the country "Yellow Bird Bream", which is popular in Kyoto, and there are few people in Beijing, but unfortunately there are very few things that can be done outside.

Because she heard a lot, Banniang also put away her contempt for the food level of the ancients. Really, her craftsmanship is nothing, but the food she can cook is different from today's cooking method, which is stir-frying, so although it is simple, in terms of color and fragrance, it is much more ingenious than cooking.

Brother and sister and two nephews from time to time to the snack stall, shopping for a while, then looking for a vacant seat, each chose their favorite food, because always heard "gluttony", Banniang is not what, so called this, to be served up to see, the original is just a pasta, but some like the later generations of noodle soup, Shilang called "Huai Ya cold Tao", Qi Niang said that he had just eaten not long ago, not hungry, as long as a bowl of ginger honey water, Jiu Lang and Jue Er Gong'er are also the same as Shilang, called Huai Ya cold Tao.

was eating, I heard a lot of people around not far away, cheering bursts of voices, the taste of the dumplings was average, Banniang ate a few bites, and was about to put it down, just heard the laughter on the side, so he wanted to join in the fun, pointed to the crowd and said: "Fifth brother, seventh sister, you eat first, I'll go over there to see." ”

Because there are too many people in the night market, where does Gorou dare to ask her to run around alone, a few days ago I heard that people are becoming more and more crazy now, if you go to a night market and lose your sister, he can't be beaten to death by his father's stick when he goes home?

grabbed Banniang, who was about to run out, and said with a smile: "What's so good about that?" It's just a tea lady performing, what kind of tea master can you meet in this small night market? The fourth brother learned a few hands from his classmates in the state school, if you really want to see it, you have to ask the fourth brother to perform a turn, you can take a closer look. Besides, that bit of tea is just a northerner's thing, we southerners, who are so old-fashioned, what kind of tea to drink. Can you see that my father uses tea, and he adds salt, cheese, pepper and ginger to boil? ”

Daddy drinks tea, but it is brewed with boiling water, and the tea drinking method of later generations is no different, in fact, in fact, Banniang herself is a master of tea, well versed in the tea ceremony, because grandparents like to drink tea, the natural tea in the family is gathered, black tea, green tea, white tea, black tea, green tea, yellow tea, flower tea, all kinds of famous products, all kinds of famous products in the previous life. Banniang knows the brewing method of each tea, the suitable water temperature, and the tools that can best exert the flavor and effect of tea.

Gorou's statement reminded her that she had heard before that the ancients had indeed drunk tea with a kind of ingredients, because Dad drank tea, and it was only brewed with boiling water, so Banniang didn't care, which would arouse curiosity, and when she saw that Gorou also ate half of it, she urged: "Fifth brother, you eat quickly, take me to see it after eating." ”

Gorou frowned: "There are too many people around there, you little lady, how can you squeeze it?" Don't go. ”

Don't look at Gorou usually speaking, he really has to make up his mind, but he can't make sense anyway. In addition, Qi Niang was also opposed on the side, and Ba Niang had no choice but to give up.

Just wait for the end of the meal, the night is already dark, and the night market that was still full of people, except for the tea mother-in-law's stall There are many people outside, and the other stalls are still lingering.

There are also a lot of stalls have begun to close the stalls, for fear of the parents at home worried, Qi Niang urged to go back, a few people packed up the things they bought, and walked home happily.

When I arrived at the door, before I knocked on the door, the door had opened, and Uncle Huang, who was guarding the door, probably heard the footsteps and laughter of several people: "Madame is not at ease, I have come to see it many times, go back and say goodbye, and rest early." ”

The brothers and sisters thanked Uncle Huang, entered the hospital, first went to their parents' house to report their safety, and then classified the things and put them away, so that they could be used the next day. Qi Niang took Ban Niang to the kitchen to carry water. In the stove, Wu warmed the water to be used in a large copper kettle, because it was too heavy, saving more running, so he simply called Wulang to help. Back in the backyard, after washing up, they fell asleep.

The next day, the head of the Tuo report, before dawn, the brothers and sisters got up, the men went to study, the women were busy with housework, the second brother Zeng Zigu because of the school house holiday, do not have to be as usual, first have breakfast, busy going to the school, see Banniang pulled Jiulang and Jue'er to the back garden, knowing that it is to go to the so-called exercise, and also want to see, so they also followed.

But it turned out to be nothing else, a few people first made some strange movements, and then ran around the back garden a few times, until they sweated, and then it was over.

In fact, that set of operations is the broadcast gymnastics in the elementary school, because of the long time, I don't remember it completely, so I only have so many movements, saying that the exercise is estimated to have no effect, and it is all about moving the muscles and bones.

After the event, seeing Zeng Zigu holding the book in his hand, standing with his hands in his hands, looking at his younger brothers and sisters and two little nephews with a smile, Banniang raised her sleeves to wipe the sweat on her head, ran to Zeng Zigu and asked with a smile: "Second brother, do you think my current body is much better than before?" By the way, what books do you have at home that teach people to practice a good body? ”

"It seems that there is a set of teaching five poultry operas, do you want to learn?"

Banniang nodded, in fact, she wanted to do yoga, but she was afraid of arousing suspicion. If you can learn the five fowl opera first, and then do yoga by yourself, you may not be able to mix it up if you only say that you think wildly.

Zeng Zigu smiled: "It's in the study, I'll find it for you when I turn around." ”

A few people went back to the front yard, where Goro Shiro had already inserted wormwood, peaches, willow branches, fragrant pu, etc., at the gate of the courtyard and the doors of each house, and the breakfast was still porridge, zongzi, salted duck eggs. After breakfast, Zeng Ziye was the boss, and the Wu family was busy giving gifts to the relatives in the clan, while the father Zeng Budo and the Zhu family were responsible for receiving the relatives who came to give the gifts at home.

I also heard that Shiro Goro came back, and their children who knew each other on weekdays came to invite them out to play, Zeng Zigu was not idle on weekdays, but because there were too many people invited these days, and he asked for articles, he was busier than usual.

Finally on the fourth day of the new year, Gorou had leisure, had breakfast, and went back to the west chamber of the backyard to find Banniang: "Last time you were thinking about opening a food shop, didn't you say that I would help you find someone to partner?" I'm going back to Linchuan after the sixth day of the new year, why don't you go today? ”

Banniang asked: "Fifth brother, but your friend must be a man, if you are not at home, how can I interact with others?" ”

Gorou smiled: "Look at your little head, say smart, smart makes people angry, if you are stupid, you can be stupid enough, even if you let me think of a way, I can't even think of this?" You can rest assured, people are not as good as our family, and there are not many maids around to pass the word? If the maid is inconvenient, I remember that the boy has a younger sister, who is slightly older than you, and can also come and go. ”

"According to what my brother said, that person's family can afford to raise a maid, and he still cares about the money that a restaurant fights for?"

Gorou said: "The money in the family is in the family, this kid is interested in making money, it's an outlier, I think it's okay, you don't have to ask so much, just follow me to be a guest, specifically, isn't it negotiable when the time comes?" ”

Banniang thinks about it, and there is no other better candidate on the left and right, and if it doesn't work, you have to try it to know. So let Gorou go out first, he changed into a half-old shirt and skirt that went out, followed Gorou to the front yard, and said to Zhu, only said that he would not go home to eat at noon, Zhu saw them go out, and gave another hundred and ten dollars, so he let the two go.

Because the family lived in the west of the city, they walked for half an hour before they arrived. That man actually lived in a very grand mansion, and there were two majestic stone lions sitting in front of the vermilion lacquer gate, which looked like an unusual people's house.

"Fifth brother, isn't your friend's family ordinary?"

"Well, his uncle used to be a fourth-grade member, but now that he is a scholar, his parents went early, and now he lives with his uncle's family."

It's no wonder that Gorou intends to seek his cooperation.

Who knew that he stepped forward and knocked on the door and said what he meant, and when the porter heard that he was looking for the seventh son of the family, he smiled and said: "It's really a coincidence that the two of you came, the seventh son of my family is not in the house now." ”

Wulang thought that Lu Qi went out to visit friends and relatives, so he asked when he could go back, but the porter said that it would be for a while, but he was afraid that he would not be able to go back, because the family had bought some new land, Lu Qi went to the grange.

If people are not in the city, there is no way. The porter smiled and invited the brother and sister to go in for a cup of tea, but Gorou politely refused and went home with Banniang. Wulang comforted Banniang: "This matter is not in a hurry anyway, it is better to wait and find another way." ”

So it came to the fifth day of the new year, a morning the family had breakfast, several children had a hundred ropes in their hands, and there were fragrant naan hanging around their waists, Wu and Qi Niang also burned the boiling water of things such as mugwort leaves, and Jiulang Jue'er and Gong'er, and also took a medicinal bath, after this year, they can not be disturbed by miscellaneous diseases.

Before eating at noon, you have to eat a few cooked garlic, which is also the meaning of preventing diseases and driving away evil spirits, fortunately, it is not unpalatable, and there is some strong fragrance, but it is also easy.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, early in the morning of the sixth day of the new year, Banniang selected six sets of more than a dozen sets of patterns she painted, and wanted to pull Wulang to go to Tai Ruixiang with her, who knew that Wulang, who had always loved shopping, was reluctant to go out this time, saying that he was going back to Linchuan tomorrow, and he had to pack up his things, Banniang was surprised, but he didn't know what he had to clean up, so he still called Qi Niang to accompany her.

When they arrived at Tai Ruixiang, Wu Sanniang really stayed in the shop as promised, and Lu Niangzi greeted them at the door, seeing that there was no one behind the two sisters, there was a slight disappointment in their eyes, but they quickly retreated.

Invite the two sisters to the backyard private room, hold the fragrant tea, and say a few polite words, Banniang took out the pattern and handed it to Wu Sanniang: "Only six sets were driven out, different from last time, this time the fine drawings of Huadian were classified and drawn one by one. ”

Wu Sanniang took a closer look and said with a smile: "I like all six sets, it's hard to choose, what I mean is that the more the merrier, if my sister doesn't mind, she will stay." ”

Banniang sank slightly, and said with a smile: "Sister Wu also paid Banniang's money, I naturally hope that my sister likes it, but my sister is young and her knowledge is not as good as my sister, but this pattern is what I sold to my sister, since Sister Wu has to stay, think about Sister Wu, there is a sentence, I don't know if I should say it?" ”
