Chapter Twenty-Six: Li Jiawa

A yellow croaker in a bucket of bath water!

If there is no experience along the way, Fu Tingyun may feel that this is a beautiful thing, and he will definitely take a comfortable bath, then change into clean and comfortable clothes, and sleep beautifully...... But now, when she knew that water could save people's lives, she could no longer afford to take a bath with it as if nothing had happened.

Assen has experienced more than Fu Tingyun.

He sat next to the wooden barrel, looked at Fu Tingyun in a daze, and said hesitantly: "Really use it to take a bath?" ”

Of course you can't use it for bathing!

Fu Tingyun thought for a while and said, "Why don't we pour water into the water bladder and store it and take it to drink on the road?" ”

"Okay!" Ah Sen jumped up for joy when he heard this, "However, raw water can't just be poured directly into the water bladder, it must be boiled." Otherwise, we will walk on the road for so many days, the water will not flow, it will be bad, and we will get sick if we drink it. ”

Fu Tingyun also understands this truth, but he didn't think about it so much.

Her face was slightly red.

It's no wonder that my grandmother often said that "the world is full of knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article", which shows that she has more places to be attentive!

The two of them walked around the room and found the kitchen in the suite at the back of the wing, with a few straws and broken wood piled up next to the stove.

Ah Sen told Fu Tingyun how to use straw to bundle wood to make firewood, and how to use tongs to set up firewood to make fire.

Fu Tingyun smiled: "You don't think I can't even cook, right?" ”

Ah Sen disagreed: "Then you bundle firewood and let me see?" ”

Fu Tingyun really hasn't done this.

When she learned to cook, she had her own daughter-in-law and mother-in-law to light a fire and wash vegetables, but she was only responsible for cooking.

Assen taught her with contempt: "Straw is used to draw fire to the wood, and if there are too many bundles, it will be wasted, and if there are fewer bundles, the fire will not lead to the wood...... Who cooks with a person handing firewood in the stove and a person stir-frying on the stove? They are busy in the pot when they throw firewood into the stove, counting the time when the fire in the stove is about to go out, and they are busy in the stove when they lose the pot...... When the fire starts, it starts small, in the middle it gets bigger, and finally it gets smaller again...... The first pot is cold, and when the fire is strong, it is only a small fire of the second firewood, and when the pot is hot, the second fire is hotter than the first fire...... If the fire burns strongly, the vegetables will be paste, and if the fire can't be burned, the dishes won't be cooked...... It's okay to cook food, and you can always eat it. If you cook, the rice at the bottom is mushy, but the rice on the top is not yet cooked, and it is raw, and eating it will cause stomach pain. ”

Fu Tingyun's head grew when he heard this: "I just want to boil water, it doesn't matter if the fire is big or small, right?" ”

Ah Sen glared at her: "Do you know how many handfuls of firewood we have here with straw and wood?" Do you know how many handfuls of firewood it takes to boil a pot of water? I threw it into the stove casually, and before we could boil the water, the firewood was gone...... What to do then? ”

Fu Tingyun felt that Ah Sen had exaggerated the facts in order to show that he was very good at burning fires, and said with a smile: "Boiling a pot of water is enough to fill our water bladders, right?" ”

Ah Sen snorted: "Anyway, it can't be wasted." ”

Fu Tingyun pursed his lips and smiled: "Okay, I'll listen to Asen!" ”

The corners of Asen's mouth tuckled, a little smug.

Fu Tingyun endured it for a long time before he didn't laugh out loud.

The two of them sat on a small bamboo bench at the door of the stove and bundled firewood.

Fu Tingyun asked him: "Why does the Ninth Master have so many little yellow croakers?" ”

Ah Sen was very dissatisfied with her suspicion of Zhao Jiuye: "Save it!" ”

Saved? If everyone can easily save a few small yellow croaker, who wants to rent someone else's land to cultivate?

"How did you save it?" Fu Tingyun asked him with a smile, "Tell me, I'll save some too!" ”

Ah Sen glanced at her: "Copper plate for silver, silver for gold, what you have saved!" Then he said impatiently, "Shall we hurry up and tie up the firewood, and then we will have to cook later?" ”

This kid's mouth is so tight!

Fu Tingjun was both disappointed and relieved.

Someone walked in: "What are you doing here?" ”

The two looked up and saw Zhao Jiuye standing at the door of the kitchen with a cloth bag.

Ah Sen ran over and said as if to take credit: "We are reluctant to use the water you bought with the little yellow croaker, we want to boil it and pour it into the water bladder and take it to the road to drink!" As he spoke, he took the cloth bag in Zhao Jiuye's hand, "Master, what is this?" ”

Zhao Jiuye didn't pay attention to Ah Sen, but stared at Fu Tingyun who was standing at the door of the stove, his eyes were deep, and in the somewhat dimly lit kitchen, it seemed a little unfathomable.

I don't know why, Fu Tingyun remembered that the two of them were in the kitchen of Biyun Nunnery...... It was the same way, there was no one around, and the light was dim...... His gaze was deep and calm......

She was a little uneasy.

He's Zhao Jiuye!

It's not really her family's descendants.

When Li Jiawa's people said that they would take her to Xi'an Mansion to join her relatives, he looked so ugly.

Just now, she was only happy and didn't think about it carefully, but now that she thinks about it, he must have been forced to do so.

Now that there are no outsiders present, I wonder if he will regret it? Will you lose your temper? Do you think that she is like a kraft candy, and she can't get rid of it when she sticks to it?

In silence, Fu Tingyun lowered his eyelids.

I heard Assen shouting, "Flour, eggs, tofu, winter melon...... Master, where did you get these things? "I can hear the sound of gurgling and swallowing.

Fu Tingyun hurriedly looked up.

Really belch!

The cloth bag was opened, and a few eggs were carefully placed on the stove by Asen.

Four buckets of water went to four small yellow croakers......

She blurted out, "How much money does this cost?" ”

The face immediately heats hot.

In the past, it was said that money had to be replaced by "Ah Du", but now it is better to ask how much it is when you see something...... It can be seen that she has changed a lot...... But there was a faint thought in my heart, if it weren't for her, Zhao Jiuye would definitely not have to buy water, noodles and vegetables...... When she first met him, he didn't even have shoes...... It's not that there is no money...... It can be seen that Zhao Jiuye is a very thrifty person...... She was really distressed that he spent money like this......

Zhao Jiuye pursed his lips, there was a smile in his eyes, and he obviously endured it so that he didn't laugh out loud: "Isn't money just for spending!" ”

Fu Tingyun didn't like this argument.

Her sixteenth uncle is like this, he has a penny to spend a penny, he can earn it when he is young, he only feels that he lives happily and freely, and when he is old, he has no savings, and it is difficult to make a frugality from luxury, and when he dies, he still bought a coffin for the public.

She couldn't help but mutter, "What if the person is still alive and the silver is gone?" ”

Zhao Jiuye couldn't help but be stunned, and then burst out laughing.

His eyebrows were stretched and his eyes were bright, and it was a joy she had never seen before.

Fu Tingyun's eyes widened.

"I have my own arrangements for the water I bring on the road." He smiled, "We will leave Li Jiawa tomorrow evening, you go and clean up, Asen, you cook!" ”

Ah Sen happily responded "good" and took out the things that Zhao Jiuye brought back one by one.

Zhao Jiuye had already said to Fu Tingyun: "Aren't you itchy on your body?" Go freshen up and freshen up. He comforted her again, "It's good to go to Xi'an Mansion!" ”

How does he know it's itchy?

Covering it all the way, Fu Tingyun insisted on covering her prickly heat.

She didn't want him to think that she was squeamish, and she only scratched when no one was around, but she didn't expect him to see it.

A little moved inexplicably in his heart, Zhao Jiuye turned around and went out: "I want to go with the seventh master to see the patriarch of Li Jiawa, and I will come back immediately!" ”

※※※※※

Because of Zhao Jiuye's words, Fu Tingyun couldn't resist the temptation of taking a bath, and took a bath happily, feeling as if he had unloaded a few pounds of weight, and his whole body was a lot easier. Then he found a square white handkerchief and tore it into strips and tied his hair, which was regarded as filial piety for his uncle and aunt's family.

When he came out, Assen was frying tofu.

Seeing that he had to put a stone under his feet and the spatula in his hand could reach into the pot, Fu Tingyun hurriedly went over to help.

Ah Sen drove her away: "Master said, let me cook." ”

"You help me light the fire." Fu Tingyun snatched the spatula in his hand, although he was not very skilled, his movements were very graceful and smooth, turning the tofu.

Asen had to admit that she did a better job than him, and obediently sat at the door of the stove to help light the fire.

Soon Fu Tingyun made two dishes and asked Ah Sen: "Does the ninth master like to eat rolling noodles or do you like to eat cakes?" ”

"Brother Yuanbao eats whatever he wants!" Assen thought for a moment, "But eat more when you make cakes." ”

Looking at Zhao Jiuye's appearance, he is not a picky person.

Fu Tingyun began to meet and said to Ah Sen: "You can also wash well!" It is said that there are still seven or eight days to go from here to Xi'an! ”

Because she thought of a bucket of small yellow croaker in this water, she was a little weak-hearted, so she used two buckets of water and kept two buckets.

Ah Sen said a little awkwardly: "It's better to leave it to the master!" ”

"Let's leave a bucket for you!" Fu Tingyun encouraged him vigorously.

In this way, the water is not enjoyed by her alone.

Everyone has a share, and she feels more down-to-earth in her heart.

Ah Sen's body was stinky, and he couldn't resist Fu Tingyun's persuasion, so he rubbed for a long time, and finally worked with Fu Tingyun to carry a bucket of water to the wing room, where he took a bath.

When he came out, Fu Tingyun had already baked the cake and was making egg and winter melon soup.

"Hasn't the Ninth Master come back yet?" He asked, pushing his wet hair.

"Not yet!" Fu Tingyun wiped the sweat from his forehead, "It's still early, let's wait." If you don't come back later, go check it out! ”

Ah Sen naturally had no objection and asked her, "What about the girl's clothes?" I'll go do the laundry first! ”

Fu Tingyun broke out in a cold sweat.

The clothes she changed into still had the ...... she wore close-fitting

"No, no! I'll do it myself! She thought that three buckets of water had been used, and she hurriedly said, "Besides, there is no water left!" ”

Arsen grinned, "I left half a bucket of water." ”

"It's still Asen's capable!" Fu Tingyun praised him and asked Ah Sen to help bring the prepared food to the square table in the hall.

Zhao Jiuye is back.

Fu Tingyun hurriedly greeted him: "The patriarch of Li Jiawa didn't say anything, right?" ”

The Seventh Master took them in, after all, without the consent of the patriarch.

"No," Zhao Jiuye said casually, "just asked about our situation." ”

Fu Tingyun breathed a sigh of relief and asked Ah Sen to fetch water for Zhao Jiuye to wash his hands and eat.

Zhao Jiuye dipped his hands in the water, but thought about the words of the patriarch of the Li family just now: "...... sent your young lady to Xi'an Mansion, and you can be regarded as having completed the trust of the old master. She is a woman, she is going to marry after all, you might as well consider our Li Jiawa to settle down......"

There is something to apologize to the maple leaf dance under the moon!

When I added the essence to you yesterday, I accidentally clicked on the delete...... And then there was tragedy...... I'm so sorry!
