Chapter 1 Bridge Rice Noodles with Attitude (1)
"It's sunny!"
"Get out early and do things!"
"Don't miss the hour!"
At the time of the fifth watch, the morning bell rang in the major temples, and the heads of the heads beat the iron plate and knocked on the wooden fish, and began to report the dawn along the street.
In the most secluded alley in the north of Fuyang County, there is a small courtyard with gray tile walls and a black back door closed.
There were a dozen or so small vendors selling breakfast, gathered in front of the dark back door, tiptoeing, stretching their necks, and looking forward to it.
"Where's the pepper?"
"Why hasn't the pepper come out yet?"
"Miss Shen, aren't you buying breakfast today?"
The vendors were chattering, their faces full of anticipation.
In the foot shop a foot away from the entrance of the alley, Bai Zhe sat opposite the door, his snow-white robe sleeves sweeping the tea-stained wooden table, but he didn't care.
His eyebrows and eyes are detached, his expression is indifferent, even if he is wearing a simple white robe, he also reveals the style of the whole body, which is incompatible with the simple pattern of the foot shop.
The shopkeeper saw that this was a distinguished customer, and he didn't dare to slack off, and even his footsteps and breathing sounded much lighter.
Bai Zhe raised his eyes to look at the entrance of the alley and asked, "Who is Little Pepper?" ”
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, only then did he realize that Bai Zhe was talking to him, and hurriedly bowed down and replied: "If you go back to Gongzi, Xiao Pepper is Miss Shen's maid." ”
"Who is Miss Shen?" Bai Zhe asked again.
The shopkeeper smiled narrowly: "This Miss Shen, she has a background, she eloped with Wu Juren." ”
"Oh?" Bai Zhe's voice was calm, but he put a piece of silver on the corner of the table.
Such a silver ingot is enough to cover the income of the foot shop for ten days, and the shopkeeper stared at it for a long time, and his mouth was so happy that he couldn't close it.
He has the ability to open a shop, and his brain is not too stupid, so he immediately understood what Bai Zhe meant, and hurriedly said: "This Miss Shen is the daughter of the richest family in Wuchang Mansion. She has been coming to Fuyang County for a whole year, and she never buys breakfast outside, which is not clean, but not long ago she suddenly had a serious illness, and her temperament changed. Look at those who sell breakfast, waiting at her door every day for her reward, and they are almost crowded. ”
Bai Zhe flicked his sleeves: "She is not sick or not, whether she buys it early or not, what does it have to do with me?" ”
Well? Don't want to hear this? The shopkeeper was afraid that he would take back the silver, so he scratched his head vigorously, and finally remembered something energetic: "The reason why Miss Shen is sick is that I heard that Wu Juren forced her." This Wu Juren was promoted last winter, and before that, he was so poor that he was all supported by Miss Shen. Wu Juren had a good skin, and as soon as he was moved, he let Hu Xianling look at him and wanted to marry his only daughter to him. Wu Juren himself also wanted to climb the high branches, but there was a Miss Shen at home, and Miss Hu didn't follow it, so he forced Miss Shen to be a concubine on the grounds of 'hiring as a wife, and running as a concubine', and forced Miss Shen to be sick......"
Bai Zhe listened attentively, and suddenly interrupted him: "Why did Miss Shen elope?" ”
The shopkeeper thought for a while and said, "I heard that it was because the family arranged a family affair for Miss Shen, and Miss Shen was not satisfied, so she eloped with Wu Juren." ”
"Family? Her? Bai Zhe pulled the corners of his lips.
He was obviously laughing, but the shopkeeper had a terrifying feeling of pore: "What, isn't it?" ”
Bai Zhe snorted, got up suddenly, and walked away.
In the alley, there was a squeak, and the black back door of the small courtyard was pushed open, and a little maid with a double bun and a willow-green knurled armor, at most twelve or thirteen years old, walked out.
"Little Pepper!"
"Little Pepper!"
Vendors flocked to recommend their breakfasts.
"Fried white sausage, fried white sausage, newly made fried white sausage this morning, small pepper, buy a copy and go back to Miss Shen to taste?"
"It's troublesome to eat fried white sausage in the morning, let's have a bowl of bean soup, how good it is to be light and light!"
"Miss Shen is from Wuchang Mansion, the taste is heavy, so don't be light, let's try my powdered soup, which is both stomach nourishing and flavorful!"
Little Pepper yawned and stood still in front of the back door, looking from left to right.
Fried white sausage, sheep and goose incident, flour soup, steamed dumplings, bean soup, baked cakes, steamed cakes, blood viscera soup......
They are the most common and ordinary breakfasts in the south, but the young lady said that she has been in Fuyang County for so long, and she has never tasted the local breakfast, so she has to buy some and try them every day.
Little Pepper raised her finger, ordered fried white sausages, powdered soup and steamed cakes, and dropped a few pieces of silver with white flowers. The vendor who was selected couldn't help but be overjoyed, and busily helped her pack the breakfast, and watched her enter.
Seeing the dark back door close again, the small vendor who did not make a business was full of disappointment and let out a sigh of regret.
"Alas, I really envy you who take rewards, Miss Shen is generous, give a reward once, and you don't have to work for half a month."
"Hey, it's just a few days, maybe in a few days, Miss Shen will start making her own breakfast again."
"People are from rich families, and they don't like to be dirty outside."
"She's embarrassed to dislike our early dirty? We still hate her for being dirty! ”
"That's it, who doesn't know that she eloped, it's shameless."
"She's pitiful, maybe because she's young and deceived."
"By whom? Wu Juren? Miss Shen didn't have to say anything about Wu Juren, how much money was spent on him! Without Miss Shen, Wu Juren would have starved to death, how could there be today's glory and wealth! ”
"Wu Juren is not a good thing, he is ungrateful, and he forced Miss Shen to be a concubine as soon as he was moved."
"Who made Miss Shen not ashamed and eloped with someone? A woman who eloped could only be a concubine, who could complain? ”
"Alas, forget it, forget it, a slap can't make a sound, women are too stupid, men are too shameless, and no one is innocent."
That's right, no one is innocent, and the vendors nodded and dispersed.
--------------
The gorgeous makeup of vermilion lacquer and gold is small and exquisite, only the size of two hands together, but the carving is delicate and exquisite, just like a blooming golden lotus. When the lid was lifted, a round copper mirror was exposed, polished to a smooth and visible degree.
Fifteen days, it has been fifteen days since I crossed over here, but Shen Yiyi still felt very trance when she looked at the strange and familiar face in the mirror.
Born in a highly information-based age, she runs a private restaurant, her biggest hobby is cooking, and her only hobby is cooking. In order to make a new dish that shook the world, she insisted on going up the mountain herself to pick a rare and ugly mushroom that did not even have a name...... Ancient people.
She has read a few online novels and is no stranger to the word crossing, but this young girl who has not yet reached the end of her life looks exactly like her, with eyebrows, nose, eyes, and mouth, all of which are not different; The names of both of them are surnamed Shen, and their names are Yiyi, with the same sound, the same word, and the same word; Their hometowns are all in Hubei; What's even more amazing is that even their handwriting is eight or nine points similar.
Could it be that this was her previous life thousands of years ago? Ah, if that's the case, she's unlucky. Although she failed to inherit the memory of "Shen Yiyi", she has a general understanding of the situation after staying these days, this is a little white rabbit raised in the boudoir, and she ran with a piece of candy, and was sold and helped count the money.
A year ago, "Shen Yiyi" eloped with the poor scholar Wu De with his furniture and hid in Fuyang County. She took money for Wu De to eat, for Wu De to drink, and for Wu De to study, but as soon as Wu De was promoted, she hooked up with Miss Hu of the county magistrate's family and forced her to be a concubine.
"Shen Yiyi"'s brain is probably in the water, and he really plans to rely on Wu De and make him small. Fortunately, there was a girl with a sober mind, Little Pepper, who desperately persuaded her and asked to part ways with Wu De, but Wu De was unwilling.
Since Wu De was unwilling, he could only escape, and the two fled halfway through, seeing that they were about to leave the city gate, but "Shen Yiyi" was worried about making Wu De's last lunch, revealing his whereabouts, causing the two to escape and fail to be arrested.
Little Pepper was angry and said a few words of "Shen Yiyi". Probably because Xiao Pepper's tone was a little heavier, "Shen Yiyi" couldn't think about it for a while, so he took advantage of the middle of the night to take a white silk and hang himself on the beam of the house.
This strangulation mark is really deep enough, half a month, it hasn't subsided, the red forest is horizontal, no matter how much she paints it, she can't cover it, as if reminding her of the sad and desperate past.
Poor and pathetic girl...... Innocent as a blank sheet of paper...... Shen Yiyi touched the strangulation marks on her neck and sighed.
"Miss, Miss! Came early! ”
As the name suggests, the pepper is crispy and a little spicy. In the days when Shen Yiyi crossed over here, there was not a day when she didn't hate iron and steel, so she almost poked her in the head, pushed her back to the day of elopement, and locked her in the firewood room.
If "Shen Yiyi" was really locked in the firewood room at that time, it would be good, there would be nothing to do with her. From this point of view, "Shen Yiyi" is still a stubborn temper, and with a maid like Little Pepper, she still eloped successfully.
