Chapter 331: The Mansion
In the heyday of Lanlufang, there were at least two or three hundred households, and this scale is no longer called a village, even if it is Dunlin Town, it is not much larger than this, and in terms of the scale of residents' houses, then Dunlin Town is far inferior to here. Lu Yu was very curious, how did the people here live in the past? Why is it that almost every household has a gate compound?
However, no matter what happened in the past, now Lanlufang is similar to Dunlin Town, ten rooms and nine empty, and no one is resting
Lu Yu went directly from the entrance and entered the village, Lanlufang.
As in the daytime, there are many houses in the village, but there are very few that have the smell of life. Lu Yu didn't come to find someone, and he didn't deliberately go close to someone's house, but wandered around the village aimlessly.
The rich place is different, Lanlufang is much more neat and clean than Yangshan Village, the lanes in the village are paved with bluestone slabs, wide and neat, straight from the south to the north, and it is very comfortable to look at. Lu Yu suddenly thought to himself, if he has money one day, he will also repair the road in Yangshan Village, it is best to make it the same as here.
Walking around the village, looking at the uninhabited "mansions" in this Lanlu Fang, Lu Yu thought again: "If the weather is normal, it seems that it is quite good to live here, I don't know which one is Lan Shaofang's original home." Uncle Yan said that Shaofang's original home may be one of the richest families in the village, and the largest and widest house should be her hometown. However, her house may have been uninhabited for more than ten years, and the house should be very dilapidated. ”
It is both spacious and dilapidated, and if there is such a house, it will be very easy to find. So Lu Yu floated up again, floating in the sky above Lanlufang, looking down condescendingly, trying to find such a "vast and dilapidated" house.
In the whole village of Lanlufang, there are about two hundred and seventy or eighty houses, more than half of which are single courtyards with two or three entrances in front and back, and there is always a main house with two or even three floors in these courtyards.
There are a lot of mansions, but there are also a lot of dilapidated ones, Lu Yu looked carefully again, and found that in the middle of the village, there is indeed a large courtyard with three entrances, and there are two buildings in the courtyard, one is three-storey, one is two-storey, there are also a few side houses, and there is also a small flower pond in the middle courtyard. This courtyard is really not small, and there are many houses, even if it is the yamen of Dunlin Town, compared with it, it is far inferior.
However, this courtyard is not dilapidated, on the contrary, there are still living people living in the courtyard, and a family lives.
Lu Yu originally wanted to go down to the courtyard to see who lived in it, but then he thought: "Everyone is already sleeping at this time, I'm going to see them now, isn't that a voyeur?" I can't do this kind of thing, so I'll come back tomorrow to inquire. I must come to this house tomorrow to have a look, and it is best to find an excuse and take Shaofang to take a stroll in the yard. ”
was about to return to his body, but Lu Yu hesitated again, thinking that he could "finally come out" alone, and go back after just turning around, it would be too cost-effective, it would be better to take a closer look in the village.
So Lu Yu fell from the sky, towards the largest courtyard, and landed on the roof of one of the buildings. This courtyard, dozens of houses, presumably in its heyday, there were at least twenty or thirty people living in the courtyard, but Lu Yu listened to it now, there were only five men and women in the courtyard, and they were all adults.
Three men and three women, all of whom are not very old and have no children, Lu Yu is a little strange.
These five people slept soundly, and even if they didn't sleep, Lu Yu didn't worry about being discovered by them. So he walked around the yard generously.
Standing outside the gate for a while, Lu Yu looked up, there was no plaque on the gate, but there seemed to be traces of a plaque hanging on it. In this way, nine out of ten of the five people who lived in the courtyard were not the original owners, but moved in after the original owners were gone.
There is a pair of big copper rings hanging on the two gates, yellow copper rings, the style is simple, but obviously this is a very valuable thing, Yangshan Village has never seen anyone dare to hang such a big copper ring on the gate.
Lu Yu passed through two thick gates and went straight into the front yard of this mansion. The front yard is narrow, facing the gate are two wings, and in the middle of the wings is a short corridor, through which is the main courtyard.
On both sides of the main courtyard, there are two buildings standing opposite each other, one on the left and one on the right, one high and one low (relative), and the five people live in two buildings respectively.
The main courtyard is not small, but the backyard is a little larger, there are pond flower beds in it, and a few low huts, there are no people in the house, and there are no fish, insects, flowers and birds in the pond flower beds.
The whole yard is relatively tidy, and although some corners are covered with dust and leaves, they are only desolate and dirty.
The pool is not large, the length and width are less than two zhang, and the pool is stagnant, and there is no ripple at all.
Lu Yu stood by the pool, stunned, thinking in his heart, this mansion, the original owner must also be a scholar, otherwise he would not be able to put this pattern, the main courtyard is square and atmospheric, and the backyard is clear and handsome.
Now living in the courtyard are five laymen, Lu Yu feels that they can't be the original owner of this courtyard, this kind of "dove occupies the magpie's nest" thing is very common, no wonder who, now there are fewer people in the house, for the house, it is better for someone to live, the so-called household hub is immortal.
"I don't know if this house will be shaken, if it's hers, then how can she come back?" Lu Yu thought about it, laughed again, and said to himself: "I don't know if Shaofang's hometown is in this village, and what does it matter about the yard of the house." ”
Although the courtyard is big and magnanimous, there is nothing to see, Lu Yu stayed for a while, then swished and returned to his body. As soon as the soul returned to the body, Lu Yu heard Yan Xiding and Lan Shaofang in the backyard tiptoeing into the house. These two guys have been out there for quite a long time.
Cultivating until the early hours of the morning, it was almost dawn, but Lu Yu didn't feel the slightest sleepiness, and after turning over in bed for a while, he finally got up from the bed and decided to cook and get something delicious.
The two chicks in the family have moved back from Anding Valley, and they have grown up a lot, but they have not laid eggs yet. The sheep in the family are all doing well, but Lu Yu is reluctant to kill one and eat it now, after all, today is not a big day.
After thinking about it, Lu Yu still decided to get a fish and come back, cook a pot with cabbage, fry a few more cakes, and have a good breakfast together later.
There are more fish in the Wudu River, and there are even dragon crocodiles, in fact, dragon crocodiles can also be eaten, that is, there is a little bit of meat and firewood. However, Lu Yu didn't go to Wudu River, so he got two fish in Anding Valley. There are no more or no fish in the creek in Anding Valley, and occasionally catch one or two to taste them, so as not to make the fish in it extinct.
Both are grass carp, two quite fat, and a large cabbage. Cabbage is a good thing, easy to grow, easy to grow, even if the fertilizer is not very sufficient, it can grow very large.
Lu Yu first chopped off the heads of the two grass carp, washed them and put them aside. There are many fish heads and spines, and it is troublesome to eat in the morning, so they eat at noon and fish in the morning.
The tail and fins were cut off, Lu Yu slice the fish meat again, cut it into one by one, and the thicker fish bones were all pulled out and thrown away, and finally there was a large bowl of fish sticks, which looked very tender.
After the fish strips were washed, Lu Yu sprinkled another handful of cornmeal into the bowl and mixed it with the fish. The fish was too tender, so Lu Yu decided to wrap some cornmeal in a frying pan first. Its practical fried fish is also good, but it is too fuel-intensive, there is not much oil at home, and it is not good to eat fried things in the morning.
The fresh, cornmeal-coated fish is very fragrant when fried, and I don't know if Yan Xi'an has smelled this attractive fish fragrance. It was still dark outside, and the whole village was quiet, not even the sound of insects and birds, only the crackling sound of Lu Yu frying fish.
The fish strips were fried until they were seven or eight ripe, and Lu Yu poured some water into the pot again, then covered the pot and simmered over low heat.
The stove is burning firewood, and Lu Yu doesn't have to watch at the stove all the time, so he took advantage of this effort to spread a few corn tortillas, and after the spread was done, the fish pot was opened, and the corn tortillas were placed on the side of the pot without touching the water, and they were fried like this.
