"Ah, this is a date? This early morning ......" Seeing that the woman was not dressed like a woman from a good family, Lin Zhenniang couldn't help but purse the corners of her lips.

Lover? Little three? An affair? Uh-huh, well, in fact, in the Great Song Dynasty, these are nothing. Go to the Qinglou to prostitute ji, that is a celebrity and a gentleman; Raising a small star outside is a man's true character; It makes sense to enter the house and enter the house...... No matter how resentful a woman is, this commonplace thing is not virtuous if she doesn't accept it.

Da Song is simply a man's paradise. However, she came through time and space, and she was a woman. Such a notion can never be accepted.

Frowning, Lin Zhenniang turned her head and thanked the old man with a smile, because she saw that the old man had been staring at the back of the shopkeeper Liu, and seemed to be very regretful, so she said casually: "Xu is the ...... he will turn back later."

"But it's back!" The old man shook his head, "Little lady, I've weighed the numbers, let's move over for you!" It's the food liao on the opposite side, is it not skipping words.

"Well, thank you, uncle. Uncle, although I don't make breakfast, but I do have lunch, so Uncle will bring his little brother over to eat in a while! ”

"How does this make ......?" said the old man, but the male doll kept staring at the flesh on the table with his fingers in his mouth.

Looking at his dark eyes, Lin Zhenniang couldn't help laughing.

Lin Jing is also like this. Every time I see meat, I have to drool, but because I have to keep filial piety, I have endured it. Just talking about this matter, Lin Zhenniang really admires her brother. Even she, who doesn't eat meat for a long time, feels greedy, let alone a child?

Touching the little doll's head, Lin Zhenniang smiled and admonished: "You must come over to eat it in a while!" Sister is waiting for you......"

The old man was still about to speak, but when he caught a glimpse of the little doll's pitiful eyes, he stopped talking.

Smiled and took the broken silver, with the old man. Lin Zhenniang said a few more polite words to him, and then asked Lin Si to put the two bags into the basket and put them in the innermost position. Although in the eyes of others, it is just an ordinary spice, but in her eyes, it is an extremely precious thing.

Chop the big bone stick, the bone marrow of the white flower flows straight out, and the chopped spine is scalded with hot water, and the onions, ginger, garlic, star anise, cinnamon and other seasonings are put on in advance. This bone broth is no better than anything else, and it must be boiled until the heat is ready to be fragrant. Although it sells cheap business meals, it is still delicate to cook.

Braised pork is also cut into the same size pieces, and the semi-bells are castrated with materials first. In this way, it is to add more flavor. There are many people who make braised pork without castration, and the taste is not as strong as this. Blanch it with hot water, drain it, heat the oil and fry it with sugar until it is red and burnt, then the meat is lowered, and the meat is already red after a few stir-fries. Braised pork with added sugar looks brighter in color and has an oily sheen, which makes people appetize at first glance.

Ordinary people see few oil stars every day, so this braised pork can be regarded as the most popular dish among the common people. And Lin Zhenniang's braised pork is not stewed with sauce like other houses, and it has a strong meat aroma, so in Xiamenqiao, this braised pork is very famous.

As soon as the meat was stewed, the taste drifted far away, and those who passed by turned their heads to look at it. Whether I'm hungry or not, I can't help but come over and ask how this meat is sold.

Lin Si has also been working in the shop for a few months, and he has long been proficient in this business, explaining to people with a smile, and also opened the pot with stewed meat, "Big brother, when you smell this meat, you will know how delicious our food is!" You see, this is meat, vegetables and rice, one meat and two vegetables, and a bowl of bone broth is delivered, which is only ten cents, but it is cheap at home. You think, if you eat a bowl of wontons, you won't pay five cents, and you can buy a cooked rice for two cents! Don't you believe our food is delicious? Nacheng, you can come back at noon in a while, at that time our roast meat is also stewed, you taste a piece and then decide whether to buy it or not......"

looked up and smiled at Lin Si soliciting customers, but Lin Zhenniang's subordinates were not idle. Cut it, and the scalded fat sausage and pork belly are also in the pot. However, this one has a lot of garlic, and after it is cooked, there is a smell of garlic in addition to the meat. The advantage of this is that the fishy smell is not strong, and even the burned garlic absorbs the oil, which is more fragrant than fat sausages.

This stewed meat dish takes time, so it is stewed first. The other vegetarian dishes are not so urgent.

Standing in front of the shed, Lin Zhenniang tiptoed to look at the end of the Dragon King Temple, which was only a few dozen meters away, but because there were too many people, she really couldn't see the sacrifice at that end. However, seeing the crowd of people, she could only see a row of black heads on her tiptoe for a long time, and it must have been very lively.

"Little lady, let's go and see the excitement too! The meat on the left and right is also stewed, and we look at the pot is ......" Dongbo spoke, and seeing that Lin Zhenniang was still hesitating, he smiled and said: "Dongbo, don't you believe it, don't skip words."

"Naturally, you can trust it—but don't add any sauce or anything like that, Dongbo." Lin Zhenniang replied with a smile, turned around and went to the Dragon King Temple.

Along the way, I saw many young women.

Although the social atmosphere of the Great Song Dynasty was not as conservative as that of the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was not common to see young women wandering the streets every day. However, there are always a few exceptions in this year, not only the young girls who are not married, but also the young daughters-in-law who are married.

First, it is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month when I look at the lanterns, dusk is coming, and there are already beautiful women on the street. There are several lyricists, and they have also written about the beauty of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Second, it is the 15th day of July to put lotus lanterns on the waterfront to pray for the blessing of deceased relatives. Many of the young women go in groups to place prayer lamps.

It's just that these two, both at night. The moon is hazy, the lights are hazy, and although the beauty looks beautiful under the lamp, it is a little unreal.

Only this third day of March, the day of the outing, but it is daytime. The grass is green, the willow branches are sprouting, and the apricot blossoms and pear blossoms are all budding, which is one of the most beautiful moments of the year.

On this day, as long as unmarried men and women can go out to the countryside together, have a little ambiguity, play some tricks, maybe there will be someone who sees the right eye and a good marriage in the coming year. Therefore, this March 3rd can be regarded as the Valentine's Day of the Great Song Dynasty.

Even the vendors who sell purses and sachets see this day as the best business opportunity. It's just a few dozen meters away, and Lin Zhenniang was pulled several times by the hawker with a smile.

Although the purse is good, no one gives it to her when she buys it.

Laughing and waving her hands, let go one by one, Lin Zhenniang squeezed into the crowd and squeezed into the field as much as possible.

There are too many people, and the Dragon King Temple can't accommodate so many people, so the ceremony of sacrificing the Dragon King is held in the open space outside the Dragon King Temple. Fortunately, this place is close to the city gate, and there are not many houses around, so there is a venue for this temple fair.

Although the plaque says that it is a temple, there are no monks in this temple, and it is a Taoist priest who presides over the affairs of the temple. No one thinks it's strange, anyway, the Dragon King is originally a Taoist immortal, and it should be raised by Taoist priests.

In the middle of the field, there is an incense case about one meter long, covered with an apricot yellow cover that drags the ground, there is an incense burner, yellow paper, cinnabar box, and a bright sword of the Shangqing.

Lin Zhenniang tiptoed, wanting to see more clearly, she just watched the excitement, and she couldn't see anything wrong. But someone next to him chuckled: "This is a sacrifice to the Dragon King, not a fox hunting, what kind of sword do you use—do you say yes, Miss Yumei." ”

When she heard the words Miss Yumei at first glance, Lin Zhenniang's heart suddenly burst and she couldn't help but turn her head to look.

She hadn't noticed it when she had just squeezed in, and now she saw that to her left, the area was almost fenced. Standing on the periphery were a few young men, who had not yet entered the summer, and had already taken the fan first, shaking it once or twice from time to time, no matter how they looked, they looked like gentlemen. But what was protected inside were several brightly dressed women. The most beautiful one is not the Miss Yumei that Lin Zhenniang has seen.

Come to think of it, this Valentine's Day in the Great Song Dynasty is also very important to these Qinglou women, so they all come out to visit the temple fair with these benefactors who are usually good.

Although I have seen it, I am not familiar with it after all, and Lin Zhenniang just glanced at it twice, and then withdrew her gaze.

Although she didn't pay attention, her ears seemed to be self-conscious, and she could still hear the voice behind her. I don't know which woman is chuckling, "Sister Yumei, why haven't you seen Master Shen today?" Xiaojuan said, Master Shen has an appointment for you to go out of the city......"

Miss Yumei was silent, and before she could speak, a man next to her had already frowned and snorted, "Miss Rouge, you're not right." Miss Yumei has already gone out to play with me, why are you still mentioning other men in front of us? ”

"Yo, Senior Official, you're really angry! Then Master Shen is just a piano master, poor and sour, and he is not enough to worry about at all, why should you care? Besides, our sister Yumei, if you don't care about you Mei Daguan, how can you come with you, instead of with that Master Shen......"

"Rouge," Yumei suddenly called out in a cold voice, "You talk too much......

The rouge smirked twice, covered her lips, and really stopped talking. But Miss Yumei didn't say anything to the big official of Namei, just looked at the front coldly, and didn't know if she was looking at the inside of the venue through the cracks, or if she was looking at the back in front of her at all.

The senior official Mei also seemed to feel bored, and finally said angrily after enduring it for a while: "Miss Yumei, since you came out with a certain person, why are you still so cold?" Is it something that makes you feel rude? ”

"Mei Daguan," turning her eyes to him, Yumei said lightly: "Yumei is just a Qinglou woman, her art and skills entertain people, and she serves people with sex, she is really the most despicable person, why should Mei Daguan be serious with people like us?" Speaking seriously, it's not that Mei is rude, but that Yumei has lost face as a big official......"

seemed to sigh softly, and Yumei showed sadness, "Big official, where Yumei is contemptuous, please don't worry about it." Today, if it is not in the building, can you allow Yumei to enjoy the reserved ...... of a woman from a good family" (to be continued.)
