Chapter 58: New Year 2
Cangshu's words made Mo Ying and Fuqin's hearts tighten. couldn't help but peek at the cicada, and found that the cicada's expression had not changed, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
I just feel that this atractylodes is getting more and more two hundred and five, and I don't look at who the object is.
"Maybe I will take it with me, it's better than this, and let the young master nest in the house every day."
Unexpectedly, Yun Chan answered, and there was no strange meaning in the words. However, the other three didn't answer, but chatted about something else.
Ling Xuanyi looked at it for another half an hour, and felt that there was no way to calm down in his heart. He stood up and walked to the window.
Standing at the window, looking at the eaves that had been frozen. Looking at the ice picks, I thought that at this time, Huaizhou should not be as boring and lonely as he was in this house.
Ling Xuanyi thought about Xi Ningyu's small appearance, and couldn't help but have a faint smile on his face. For the first time, I think it's more and more interesting to think about someone.
The old county seat.
After yesterday's day of playing.
Today, Xi Ningyu took a few women and hid in the stove room.
Mother Xue persuaded her a few times, saying that she would take Meng Shi to eat whatever she wanted. But Xi Ningyu just didn't come out of the stove room, so he had to take people to toss inside.
made Mother Xue helpless, so she had to let it go.
"Miss, what are we doing here? It's glutinous and sticky. β
Toad asked, looking at the white, sticky rake object in his hand.
Xi Ningyu looked at Toad'er with a confused expression, and said with a smile: "It's delicious, I'll know later, hurry up and get it." Make a long square, and we'll steam it out of the pot for you to eat first! β
Seeing that Xi Ningyu only let her do things, but she didn't say anything, Toad had no choice but to continue to do it, but this sticky really made her frown.
The fish sat on a small wooden pier with a soot face. Raising his head, he asked curiously, "Miss, give me a taste later." β
"It's all there, don't fight. No one is indispensable! β
The three of them worked hard for almost two hours.
As soon as the contents of the steamer came out of the pot, the smell of the stove room was suddenly filled.
The toad and the fish sniffed hard and muttered, "It's so fragrantβit's so fragrantββ! The feeling of sweetness must be sweet! β
At this time, Xi Ningyu brought the sauce that had been adjusted in advance, as well as the sugar bowl.
Remove a few pieces from the pan and cut them into small pieces with a knife.
"Come, let's try it. This can be eaten with sauce or sugar. Try them all! β
The fish was so anxious that they didn't even use chopsticks, so they started directly.
Grab a piece and dip it in the sugar bowl, then put it in your mouth.
"Uh-oh-hmm...... Delicious β good! β
Seeing her like that, Toad's face was disgusted.
But I couldn't hold back my curiosity, so I slowly picked up a piece and dipped it in the sauce bowl. I took a bite carefully and chewed carefully.
"Yes, miss. This is really good, it tastes so soft, glutinous, and smooth! β
Xi Ningyu saw that the two of them were eating deliciously, so she also picked it up and ate it.
When the three of them had eaten about it, they stopped talking.
"Miss, tell me what this is, I've never seen it before!"
Yu'er held the remaining plate of rice cakes, looking like she didn't plan to let go, staring at Xi Ningyu and asking.
"This one is called rice cake. It's made with glutinous rice, it's delicious, right? This thing can still be fried and eaten, but it is a little spicy. β
"Rice cakes? Miss, I've never heard of this, where is the food? β
Toad thought about it for a long time, but he didn't think of this thing in his mind, which place was a specialty, so he asked curiously.
"Well, somewhere in the south, I can't say for sure, my mother taught me before. When I think about it today, I tried to do it, and I didn't think about it! β
Xi Ningyu didn't dare to tell the truth, so she had to be vague, anyway, there was no evidence, as long as it was delicious.
"Little, miss. This is delicious, give it to me, let's make something else for them, okay? β
The fish is greedy, and after speaking, I pick up another piece, and the sugar is not touched, so I send it to my mouth!
"Eat less, this is not easy to restrain yourself. If you eat too much, be careful that you are rising, go out for activities for a while, and eat later, no one will rob you! β
Xi Ningyu snatched it from the fish, for fear that the fish would eat too much and feel uncomfortable in the middle of the night.
The three of them were busy, and it was time for dinner. In addition to chicken, duck and fish, there are also several plates of rice cakes made in different ways on the table.
When I first saw this food, I couldn't help but be curious.
After Xi Ningyu's brief introduction, everyone tasted a few pieces and fell in love with this new food.
Coupled with the good dishes on this table, the atmosphere on the table is particularly lively. Xi Ningyu is not a lord who cares much about dignity and humility on weekdays, so this dinner on the first day of the new year, everyone is very comfortable and comfortable.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, this is also the first day of the New Year to visit relatives and friends.
Xi Ningyu led Toad, Yu'er, and Qingying Qingqiong, and loaded some of the hand-made food prepared last night, as well as the gifts prepared in advance, into the car, and placed them in the car.
"Let's go, let's go to the Mu Mansion today. I gave the two seniors a New Year's gift, and I will go to Huaizhou County tomorrow to pay New Year's greetings to the second brother! β
Xi Ningyu looked at the loaded gifts. Then he said to the four people who followed him.
"What Miss said is that I will visit the nearest ones first, and then go to the farther ones."
Yu'er said.
Xi Ningyu nodded and took the lead in getting into the carriage.
At the same time, except for Xi Ningyu and others, they went out of the house. and Lian Zeqian also took a few gifts early in the morning, and went to several merchants who had dealings with the pharmaceutical business to pay New Year's greetings.
As for Shi Hanxue, Xi Ningyu was going to go to Mu Mansion on the way, and he happened to pass by Renxin Hall, so he went there at the same time today.
As he spoke, he arrived at the door of the Renxin Hall.
Due to the Chinese New Year, the medicine hall is not open for business, but only the guest door of the courtyard. For relatives and friends to come and go when they visit, so Xi Ningyu got out of the car.
went straight to the guest door, and informed Shi Hanxue that he was just entertaining guests in the Shi family's house, so he went straight to the living room.
In the living room, Shi Hanxue, who received friends who came to pay New Year's greetings. happened to see Xi Ningyu who entered the door, so he hurried out.
"Feather girl!"
"Uncle Shi, I'm here to give you a New Year's greeting."
After the two saw each other, they exchanged auspicious words. Shi Hanxue let Xi Ningyu into the living room.
Xi Ningyu didn't shy away from the living room and walked straight into the girl.
"Senior Shi, who is this?"
At this time, in the living room, there was a young junior.
"Yu girl, let me introduce you, this is one of my nephews. The surname is Sun, and the name is Bo. β
"Sun Gongzi, it's polite."
Xi Ningyu and this Sun Gongzi are not familiar with each other, so they don't have anything to say. simply greeted him and stood beside Shi Hanxue.
"Abo, this is Miss Yan of the Xi family. My body is not well, I have always healed, and I have been doing well recently, so I have come to pay New Year's greetings to me recently. β
In order to prevent Xi Ningyu from cooperating with himself, Shi Hanxue used the reason of seeing the illness as the reason to mention the reason for the future.
"It turned out to be Miss Xi, Xiaosheng is polite!"
Sun Bo seems to be from a scholarly family, so in his words and demeanor. All reveal a bookish atmosphere, and the text is weak, very regular.
"Hehe, okay, you two don't need to be like this. Sit down, although Abo has learned poetry since childhood, he doesn't have to be too restrained. As for Yu girl, let go of your temperament, you are not like this in front of me! β
Shi Hanxue sold Xi Ningyu clean in one sentence.
Hearing Shi Hanxue say this, Xi Ningyu also smiled. He was no longer restrained, and said: "I also said that I was a Sven, but you can't get used to it, so you have to shake me." Can't you let me pretend to be one? β
"Don't pretend, I look uncomfortable!"
Shi Hanxue and Xi Ningyu's old and young people were funny, but they made Sun Bo laugh on the side.
"Senior Shi, still so free and easy. It's so enviable, no wonder my ancestors always say that we let my father teach stupidity. β
When Shi Hanxue heard this, he smiled and said: "There should be etiquette, there must be." But don't go too far, otherwise it will only appear deliberate and formal, making people feel unapproachable. It will not be good for you in the officialdom in the future. β
"Yes, thank you for your advice."
"Look, as soon as I finished speaking, here we go again!"
Xi Ningyu covered her smile on the side and saw the servant serving tea. He took it casually and put it on the small table next to him.
"Yu girl, why did you come to me first today, have you been there in the Mu Mansion?"
Shi Hanxue saw that Xi Ningyu and Sun Bo seemed to have nothing to say, so he had to open his mouth to break the silent scene. lest they all sit awkwardly, and he himself feels uncomfortable.
"I'll go in a while, and I'll give you a New Year's greeting first. It happens to be all the way, so I won't just talk about it, presumably Uncle Shi won't care about this! β
"Hahaha, where do you care about this, you're just a casual person. That's a lot better than Abo, if only he had half of you. β
Xi Ningyu didn't feel good about this, so she laughed.
And Qingying and Qingqiong, who were standing next to them, were interested. Thinking about it, it seems that this Mr. Shi is deliberately matching Sun Bo and Miss Xi!
But as maids, the two are not easy to talk to. After glancing at each other, they all saw a trace of vigilance in each other's eyes, which must have the same meaning. That is, you have to show this to the master, otherwise......
So when Shi Hanxue and others spoke, Qingying and the others paid special attention.
Fortunately, in the subsequent conversations, there was no topic between Xi Ningyu and Sun Bo. Almost all of them were Shi Hanxue in the middle to respond, and it was very funny to see that the shadows were very funny.
Xi Ningyu saw that it had been almost an hour, so she got up and said goodbye.
"Uncle Shi, I won't bother today. I also want to go to the third brother's house to pay New Year's greetings, and when I turn around, I will come to you to ask for mercy, so I will leave first. β
"It's okay, then I won't force you today."
Shi Hanxue also knew that Xi Ningyu still had to go to Mu's house, and it was inconvenient to stay, so he got up and wanted to send Xi Ningyu and the others out.
"Uncle Shi doesn't need to send it, there are still guests. You can keep it for you, we don't have any of that! β
Xi Ningyu smiled slightly at Sun Bo, who also got up, gave a salute and left with the four maidservants.
Looking at Xi Ningyu, who was gradually walking away, Sun Bo pondered and said, "Senior Shi, this woman doesn't look like she has been sick for a long time!" β
