308 Retreat is advance
The snow stopped in the evening, Tang Anqing was a little regretful, and thought about taking the two small ones to play in the snow. But snow is inevitable like this. In his previous life, Tang Anqing was born in the north, although he didn't like cold winters when he was in an orphanage, but snow would still make people happy, even later because of the climate, even many places in the north would not snow in winter.
Tang Anqing looked at the snowy sky that had stopped, and sighed slightly. Sometimes she has a sense of superiority after living two lives, but more often she is trying to adapt to this society. She didn't want to seem out of place in the world with her loved ones and lovers sometimes.
"Mother, what are you looking at?" Puyu poked her little head out from behind Tang Anqing, wearing a fluffy rabbit fur hat against the white ground to complement each other. "The snow has stopped?"
Tang Anqing turned around and smiled softly and touched Puyu's hat, "Mother will come out to see when the snow stops, and when the snow falls, my mother will build a snowman for you." ”
"Well, mother, let's go eat, Yu'er and my brother are hungry." Puyu took Tang Anqing's hand and walked to the living room, "Aunt Sun said that there is mushu meat and sauced beef tonight." "Sun Niang is a cook in the courtyard, she is very good at Beijing cuisine, and I heard that the ancestor is still the palace chef of the royal court. However, the dishes are in line with the family's appetite, although their family was in the Jiangnan area before, but most of Tang Anqing's dishes are northern dishes, and even the Jiangnan dishes made by occasionally improving the taste are slightly different from the authentic Jiangnan dishes. Although Puyu and Xuanyu brothers are both meatless and unhappy, Puyu is still reluctant to eat vegetables under the deterrence of her mother. Since discovering that Erbao likes meat very much, Tang Anqing also deliberately arranged for Erbao to add those greens and fruits when he ate complementary food, if this can't be changed, she doesn't mind letting him eat meat for a month in a row, to see if he dares not to eat greens.
Puyu looked up at her mother, the rabbit ears on the hat on her head moved, and she didn't let Tang Anqing remind her at dinner, and she obediently ate the vegetables. Although he put the green pepper he didn't like in his father's bowl when his mother was not paying attention, he originally wanted to keep it for Erbao to eat, who let Erbao have to pester his mother to feed him, and at this time he was lying in his mother's arms and puffing out a hamster-like cheek to eat Zhengxiang.
"Mother, Yu'er is full." Puyu obediently put the small bowl aside and slid off the stool. The tables and chairs are all custom-made, and when making them with the family's situation in mind, Puyu's stools are taller than ordinary stools. This table and chair is a set of yellow pear drum nails eight immortals round table, and the stools and tables at home are generally avoided to be made into squares. Puyu rubbed in front of Tang Baiyu, Tang Baiyu picked up a handkerchief from the black lacquer inlaid red plum blossom box on the side and wiped his mouth. After the child's obedient father wiped his mouth, he rubbed it in front of Tang Anqing. "Mother, don't let my brother eat too much, his stomach will be uncomfortable when he sleeps at night." I looked very experienced, staring at the mushu meat on the table, and I felt a little regretful in my heart, I really had to grow up obediently to eat as much as my father.
"Mother, meat.." Erbao didn't pay attention to what his brother said, he didn't look at his brother, and kept staring at the mushu meat and sauced beef on the table. Tang Anqing turned his head to look at his eldest son and said with a smile: "Yu'er is full?" Puyu nodded, moved his stool and sat in front of Tang Anqing, and when Tang Anqing brought the meat over, he leaned over and ate the meat.
Then before Erbao protested, he ran away. "This kid .." Tang Anqing shook his head and smiled, and brought Erbao's egg custard and fed it to him. "After eating obediently, I will give you meat."
Puyu ran to the bedroom, sneaked out a few mouthfuls of chestnut cake from the drawer on the side and filled it into her mouth, and then tiptoed to the warm tea to spread the taste in her mouth. "Woo, I should have eaten a little more just now." Climbed onto the kang, rolled twice, buried his face in the soft pillow and rubbed twice, "Hehe, I can't eat the buns." It's better to let my mother put the buns and fire out tomorrow and go out to play. ”
The next day, if it weren't for Puyu mentioning it, Tang Anqing would have really forgotten about the buns. Originally, it was said that the steamed buns were put in the space for five days for him to reflect and reflect, although because of the steamed buns, the tofu brain stall across the street had a lot of business, after all, this kind of mysterious event in this era would be considered a god event such as a bodhisattva's manifestation. But Tang Anqing is worried that if it is seen by someone with a heart, it may bring unnecessary trouble.
Tang Anqing listened to her son's words and patted her forehead, she had put the bun in it in the past few days and had not seen how the bun was doing inside. "Okay, Yu'er, you wait for your mother to come over and see how the buns are doing?" Tang Anqing said hello to Tang Baiyu and took Puyu to the space.
"Huh!" Tang Anqing was almost frightened by the black shadow that rushed over, if he hadn't felt the breath of the bun, maybe he would have waved his hand to flash the black shadow that ran over. Some people held the bun in their arms with a weak heart, saw the weak and spiritless appearance of the bun, and when they saw Tang Anqing, the blue gemstone eyes still flowed out of their eyes, and they cried silently in Tang Anqing's arms. Tang Anqing's heart suddenly became empty, and he touched the back of the bun and let him cry first. Puyu stuck out her tongue, embarrassed, and ran to the side to play with Ah Bai and Ah Jin.
Puyu likes Ah Jin very much, Ah Jin is the golden eagle, the animals in the whole space are under Ah Bai's jurisdiction, Ah Jin is considered to be the top of the food chain, so he occupies a mountain by himself. Ah Bai still lives in the crystal cave under the mountain stream, which is the cave where the warm crystal appeared originally, under the green stream of the iceberg. Ah Jin's golden eagle is quite fate with Tang Anqing, after Tang Anqing first came to this world to get space from Na Song Ni's village, it was this golden eagle that was summoned by Baozi when he left the back mountain. Although it was a pity to let Tang Anqing let go of the golden eagle, but later on the way from Taoyuan Town to Shangjing, he could still meet the golden eagle, which was fate, so he put the golden eagle in the space. In the space, the earlier the animals are put in, the animals that are put in at the juvenile age, and the more animals at the top of the food chain, the easier it is to open their minds, and the carnivores in it will not eat other weak animals in the space because of the replenishment of aura. And Ah Bai will not allow such an incident to happen. Although some animals reproduce relatively quickly, they are also in great demand for bird eggs. What's more, there are really not many animals that Tang Anqing put into the space, except for the fish stocked in the lake, firstly, everyone in the family likes to eat fish, and secondly, those fish were stocked into the space by Tang Anqing with spiritual power when they came from the canal.
[Qingqing, you're too bad!] People don't have to eat, drink, or play here! Hearing the words of the bun, Tang Anqing smiled bitterly and looked at the pile of almost identical fruits on the table in the gazebo not far away, pears, dragon fruits, bananas, pineapples and so on, and did not look at the peel on the other side. Tang Anqing didn't need to look to know that the sauce meat she had marinated before was probably also into the belly of the bun that looked like a bottomless pit, saying that she didn't have to drink, Tang Anqing saw that it should be an empty fruit wine barrel on the side. If this is not to play, the sloths and elk on the side will not run out of the mountains to play. Even Ah Jin flew out, and it seems that Baozi has not been idle in the past few days, contacting his younger brothers. However, Tang Anqing also knew that the hand stroking the back of the bun was more gentle, and tried his best to smooth the fried bun.
[Okay, that's my fault, isn't it?] Tang Anqing didn't mention the tofu brain stall before, and after coaxing the buns to stop crying, [I know, you can eat whatever you want when you go out, don't cry and let your little brothers see the jokes. Hey, it's really childlike, Tang Anqing kissed the forehead of the bun, [I promise you no time, if you want to eat something, I can't do it, huh?] Tang Anqing raised his eyebrows, and said softly with his forehead against the forehead of the bun.
The bun made a weak hum twice, and kept holding on to Tang Anqing's shoulder and didn't let go. Tang Anqing was weak as soon as she came, and although she didn't spoil the buns like spoiling Puyu and Erbao, it was not a lot. At this time, the buns were crying weakly, and Tang Anqing was naturally distressed, so he took the buns to the kitchen to give him a hearty condolence meal for spring sorrow.
[Qingqing is still your best.] Sure enough, if you retreat like this, you can really get Qingqing's love, wow Ka Ka really listened to Ah Bai's right. Next time, if Qingqing comes here again, it will be good if he can do this. The bun lay on Tang Anqing's shoulder with a face, waiting for the blue sapphire-like eyes to watch Tang Anqing busy preparing the ingredients, and most of the dishes made were the meat dishes that the buns liked in the vegetarian day, and some cooking was relatively low, and the dishes that Tang Anqing was too lazy to make on weekdays were also made in one hand, firstly, to let the buns eat enough, and secondly, Tang Anqing also wanted to be a family to eat, so there were more things to do, but fortunately, there was no shortage of dishes and dishes in the space. Tang Anqing saw that those disadvantaged dishes that were not able to go down outside were used to serve meals, but he was a little bit of a mood at the beginning, and it was good to look at the habit, I have to say that habit is really a terrible thing!
Outside, Tang Baiyu sent someone to talk to Situ Jin because Tang Anqing and Puyu went to the space. Because when Tang Anqing went to the space, Erbao was still sleeping, and Tang Anqing stayed in the space for a while at this time, Erbao woke up unhappy, and hummed and chirped in Tang Baiyu's arms but didn't want to get up. It's strange to say, whether you know it or not, you will always be stunned when you see Tang Baiyu with a cold face. But his two sons are completely inappropriate, although Tang Baiyu thinks he is strict, but he will never show his treatment of these two sons and his son's mother. Speaking of which, in the Tang family, the one who is in a weak position is Tang Baiyu, who is extremely strong in the eyes of outsiders. Tang Baiyu naturally couldn't explain it, and he was happy that this situation happened. After all, there are no outsiders who have seen what a family really looks like when they get along, right?
Time in the space is naturally incomparable to the outside world, even if Tang Anqing makes a table of big meals in the space, it will not be half an hour outside. But it's not yet time for lunch, Tang Anqing finished coaxing Erbao, and said that the family went out shopping, and his father was also at home, it was sunny today, and the wind was not strong, and since the family came to Beijing, they haven't gone out shopping together. The head of the family has spoken, and the whole family is naturally willing to go out to play. Baozi was still consuming his meal for the time being, so he didn't go out with him.
Tang Anqing went into the inner room to change his clothes, but when he came out, he was a small snow-satin sable jacket, a plain white snow satin cold blue rolling silver fox skin placket gown, with a white satin big white fox skin embroidered pleated leather skirt, the neckline of the jacket was embroidered with emerald blue bamboo leaves, sapphire small buckles, the gown was also sparsely sprinkled with emerald blue bamboo leaves, wearing a big white Zhaojun set, surrounded by beads, draped in a snow-white feather satin cloak sprinkled with emerald blue bamboo leaves, the cuffs on the edge of the cloak were rolling long big white fox fur, and the neckline was also a big white fox fur wind collar, Lined with a pink face, it becomes more and more warm and delicate.
Tang Anqing has rarely seen such a big fur dress, but dressed up like this, it looks even more delicate, which makes Tang Baiyu's heart beat a few times involuntarily.
Tang Anqing took out the tiger skin brothers of the two children from the wardrobe and put them on for the two children, the leather hats and leather boots were neatly dressed, the two children were dressed like this, but they were like two snowballs, rolling over, very pleasing.
When he went out, Tang Baiyu put on a black fox fur coat, cleaned it up, and carried a small white copper stove in his arms.
The family didn't let the maids and servants follow, Puyu jumped in front, Tang Anqing held Erbao, Tang Baiyu walked on Tang Anqing's side, while looking at the eldest son who was jumping, and at the same time accosting the second son who jumped out of the word.
It's not too early to come out today, but after a while, I met a tofu brain stall that was about to close the stall, although Tang Anqing also led the two children out a few times, but Puyu's face is also easy to remember, and the lady who sells tofu brain greeted enthusiastically, "The lady of the Tang family is out to play, there are only two bowls of tofu brain left in my house, if you don't dislike it, you can serve it." ”
Puyu likes to drink, so he let him drink a small half bowl, Tang Anqing drank the remaining half bowl, and the remaining bowl was drunk by his father. handed the lady who sold tofu brains four copper plates, and the family walked elsewhere.
"Cui Niang, do you know what the origin of that family is? Why haven't you seen that family before? "It's a couple who sells tofu brains, it's a husband who speaks, and it's an honest man. looked at the direction in which Tang Anqing's family left, and said, "How can you look at that family, it doesn't look like a mortal!" "Although the previous gold leaf is only one or two heavy, it is worth a lot in silver, at least their family can chew for half a year, not to mention that the business of tofu brain is much better than before, so although it came out earlier, but the tofu brain can almost be sold out in less than an hour, so Cui Niang has set up an oil cake stall next to it, and the money earned by this stall is enough for the family's expenses, and there can be a lot of surplus. And both of them are honest people, the tofu brain and the oil cake are finely made, the handiwork is good, and the taste is fragrant, and the price has not risen when the business is good, and the reputation around the neighborhood is also good, and there are many repeat customers, although most of them are neighbors around the neighborhood. As soon as the man who sold tofu brains said it, Cui Niang glared at him, "You ask what these people do, where will I know." Hurry up and clean up the stall and go home, don't let your mother and Liu'er wait. ”
The man didn't ask any more after listening to Cui Niang's words, and began to clean up the stall neatly. Cui Niang glanced in the direction where Tang Anqing's family left, lowered her head and began to put away the stall with her own man. Go home early, the children and the elderly are waiting at home. "Liulang, I see that our family's money is almost saved, and I went to inquire yesterday, but I don't plan to do Lao Li's shop on the street, I think we might as well take that shop down and do something else." On the way back, Cui Niang said to her man. "Our mother can also go to the shop to help, my craft is still taught by my mother, if my mother can make that cake, steamed buns will definitely make a living. And it's freezing this day, so we can be less frozen, right? Looking at the redness and swelling on her man's hands, Cui Niang's eyes turned red as she spoke, and she was a little choked when she spoke.
Liulang naturally felt sorry for his daughter-in-law, and after hearing what his daughter-in-law said, he said: "I fancy this matter, why don't we go home and ask our father and mother?" Cui Niang hummed and followed her man home.
In the middle of winter, there are also a lot of snacks sold in Shangjing, such as that noodle tea, soaring pot cake, white water sheep's head sandwich cake, mutton mixed noodles, baked white potatoes, etc. Hawkers along the streets, carrying baskets to sell baked cakes, fires, and marijuana flowers. But the family came out after breakfast, and they drank some tofu brain before, so even if they wanted to eat at this time, there was not much to eat.
"Take it well, a total of four eldest sons." The seller of roasted white potatoes is an old man, and the fragrance of this roasted white potato is blowing with the wind, and it is more fragrant. Puyu smiled and took out four copper plates from his purse and put them in the old man's hands, took the two roasted white potatoes wrapped in coarse oil paper with one hand, leaned over and smelled them, "It's so fragrant!" ”
street corner
An ordinary and inconspicuous sedan chair stopped there, and the faces of the four sedan chair men outside were tense, and after a while, a voice came from the sedan chair: "Let's go." The sedan chair man outside got the order, and the cyan sedan chair went to the other side steadily.
