Chapter 012: An Honest Woman
The Chen family lives at the foot of Jinxi Mountain, doing the business of selling meat, getting up early every day to kill pigs and sell meat, and occasionally going into the mountains to hunt some prey to sell, but the business has not been good, because there is not much money, they can't live in the town, so they set up a house at the foot of the mountain, and then set off early to enter the town to stand in a good seat to sell their own pork.
Today, Chen Fan followed his mother into the town as before, and only the old father stayed at home, and the old man's surname was Wang.
Jinhuang took Luo Li to Chen's house, she saw the words "Chen's butcher shop" hanging here from afar, approached, and saw an old man doing laundry, Jinhuang said, "Old man!" Excuse me, you sell meat here, right? ”
The old man surnamed Wang raised his head and said, "Hey, yes, do you want to buy ...... meat?"
The old man surnamed Wang felt as if his neck was being choked, and he couldn't make a sound.
Oh, my God! What a beautiful couple! He's never seen such a beautiful person in his life! Isn't it a god descending to earth?
Luo Li couldn't see it, and he didn't know why the old man didn't say anything until Jinhuang laughed in his ear, "Look, the old man was frightened by the amazing appearance of the two of us, do you think he thinks we are immortals?" ”
As soon as Jinhuang's words fell, I saw the old man trembling and said, "Two immortals ......"
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Jinhuang's laughter, "Old man, you don't have to be nervous, we are a family living in the mountains, and we came here when we saw that meat was being sold here." ”
The old man surnamed Wang blushed from Jinhuang's laughter, and he was a little restrained and shy to wipe his hand on his clothes to dry the water stains, "Miss, son, come, sit, sit......"
When the old man surnamed Wang saw that Jinhuang Luoli was wearing clothes that his family could definitely not afford to wear, he couldn't say any more, how could he be embarrassed to stain other people's clothes like this.
Jinhuang saw the old man's eyes and understood the old man's embarrassment, "Old man, you don't have to be restrained, we'll leave in a while." I want to make a deal with your family. ”
"What, what's the deal?"
"Old man, I want to buy your meat here for a long time, I'll give you the money first, and then I will deduct it from it every time in the future," Jin Huang took out a bag and put it in the old man's hand.
"We live on Jinxi Mountain, and in the future, please go up the mountain every few days to bring fresh meat to the mountain, and from that path, there is a bamboo forest, and we will live there. Thank you very much. ”
The old man felt the touch in his hand, his eyes widened in disbelief, he opened the bag tremblingly, and found that inside was a piece of silver, which was simply the most money he had ever seen!
The old man was excited, and when he raised his eyes again, the figure of Jinhuang Luoli was already gone, which made him suspect that it was just a dream, but the silver had a real touch, but it reminded the old man that everything just now was real.
In the afternoon, the daughter and his wife returned, and the old man told them about it, and the three of them sat around the bag of silver, and finally Chen Fan said that he would go to the mountains tomorrow to have a look, maybe it was the young ladies who had come to play in the big town for a few days.
Then the family spent the night in excitement.
Next.
Jinhuang is still sitting on the stone bench outside the court, and Luo Li is practicing the "Heaven and Earth Spiritism" given to him by Jinhuang in the house, it has just dawned, Jinhuang likes the morning air the most, and there is a moist and cool breath all around, inhaling into the heart, as if the dirt in the body is discharged.
In the courtyard there was a boy cleaning, and a child holding a small bottle collecting the dew from the stamens, all of which were magical, and she sat on a stool boiling tea, contented.
"Excuse me, anyone?"
Jinhuang turned his head and saw a sturdy woman looking inside outside the bamboo forest, the woman was dressed in coarse linen clothes, her wrists and ankles were tightly tied, and it could be seen that she was a poor woman who did manual work, her skin was slightly dark, her face was ordinary, and her thick lips looked honest and honest.
When Jinhuang saw the basket in the woman's hand, he guessed who the visitor was, and replied to the woman: "But the Chen family's butcher shop, come in." ”
When Chen Fan heard someone responding, he thought that there was really such a thing, and replied: "Hey, just come." ”
Walking inside, through the bamboo forest, the scenery in front of her suddenly opened up, Chen Fan stayed there, thinking that she had entered the fairy land, several flowers and trees in it were in full bloom, the falling petals flew in the air with the wind spinning, butterflies danced, birds chirped crisply, I had never seen such a beautiful place.
Suddenly, Jinhuang laughed, someone was intoxicated with her masterpieces, which made her feel very comfortable, Luo Li couldn't see it, and it was not bad to get a sense of accomplishment from others.
"Come in and sit down and have a cup of tea."
Chen Fan heard the laughter, looked over, and saw a woman sitting on a stone bench, beautiful red clothes, wide robe and long sleeves, a few petals naughtily attached to the woman's clothes, the woman's delicate curved eyebrows, dark beautiful eyes flashing with smiles, ruddy lips, a red jade pendant on her fair and smooth forehead, and a black hair scattered on her clothes at will, an evil and charming woman in the city.
Chen Fan opened his mouth and muttered, "Dad is right, it's really an immortal." ”
Jinhuang naturally heard it and couldn't help laughing: "It's really funny!" Why did your family say that they had met immortals when they saw me, don't add the word 'banban' to the end, otherwise I will beat people. ”
Chen Fan was laughed back by Jinhuang's smile, two blushes appeared on his dark face, Chen Fan couldn't understand the meaning of Jinhuang's words, so he could only touch his head shyly and smirk.
Only then did Jin Huang remember that he hadn't done anything to do, and hurriedly took out the basket, "Miss, this is today's fresh meat, take a look." ”
Jinhuang couldn't help but put on an honorific title when she heard this honest woman talking to her, and she laughed in her heart, "Let it go, don't look at it." Seeing that the woman stepped forward and put the meat on the stone table, she said, "Sit, have a cup of tea and go." ”
Jinhuang poured a cup of tea and handed it to Chen Fan, "What's your name?" ”
"Huh? I, my name is Chen Fan! Chen Fan scratched his head stupidly and replied shyly.
She didn't sit down, she just picked up the teacup and drank it down. I thought that this lady had a good temper, but I didn't understand why a lady would buy vegetables? And the little boy who sprinkled and swept on the side didn't come up to say hello?
"You just drank it in one gulp?" Jinhuang was stunned, a little funny.
"Huh?" Chen Fan was a little overwhelmed. I remembered that I had seen other rich people drink tea slowly, but their family couldn't afford to buy tea, so they always drank plain water, which was also practical, and they drank it all in one gulp when they were nervous.
"It's okay, you don't have to be restrained, and ah, next time you don't have to bring so much, just two people to eat. And it would be better to bring it at noon. Actually thought that Dawn would give her meat, Jinhuang smiled helplessly.
"Ah, oh, well, then, miss, I'll go first. Hey. ”
"Well, go ahead."
Jinhuang looked at Chen Fan's departing figure, shook his head with a smile, picked up the basket and walked towards the kitchen, yesterday Jinhuang took away some vegetarian dishes when he inspected the abbot's vegetarian vegetable field, and the rice grain was also bought as early as the last time he bought kitchenware, just right, let Luo Li taste her craftsmanship at noon today.
Finally stayed up until noon - Jinhuang's favorite meal time, Jinhuang hummed a song and walked into the kitchen.
"Well, what should I do today? Luo Li doesn't like to eat meat, so let's cook more vegetarian dishes today, and lose weight. Jin Huang entered the kitchen and began to cook skillfully and neatly.
Luo Li, who was still practicing the "Heaven and Earth Enlightenment Technique" in the house, suddenly smelled the smell of rice, got up and groped towards the kitchen, speaking of which, since Jinhuang came, Luo Li had never used a cane, and it was Jinhuang who had always held his hand.
Luo Li didn't go into the kitchen, but was outside, listening to the happy humming of Jinhuang in the kitchen, the neat sound of chopping vegetables, and the aroma wafting out from time to time, Luo Li leaned against the wall and didn't know what to think, and after a long time he went back to the house to continue practicing.
After the dishes were ready, Jinhuang entered the bamboo house one by one and said to Luo Li, who was still practicing: "Luo Li, come and eat!" ”
Luo Li was led to the table by Jinhuang, but Jinhuang still served Luo Li with food.
"Taste, how about this? Pull the shredded sweet potato, as well as the vegetarian fried three fresh, shallots mixed with tofu. Jin Huang picked the vegetarian vegetables into Luo Li's bowl and asked expectantly.
"It's delicious."
Listening to Luo Li's appreciation, Jin Huang smiled and said, "That is, my cooking skills are top-notch, and you can eat this chef's dishes, which is the blessing you have cultivated for several lifetimes." ”
"Also, meat dishes should also be eaten, this is back to the pot meat, this is sweet and sour pork ribs." Jinhuang resolutely controlled Luo Li's progress in eating meat, and for the sake of her future life, she said that she had to sacrifice Luo Li to change her habits.
"When your eyes are better, let's go fishing, and then I'll make you chopped pepper fish head, steamed hibiscus fish, sweet and sour carp to eat."
“...... Okay, you'll have to do it for me then. ”
"I mean what I say."
