Chapter 36: Names
Wan Wan's courtyard is a two-entry courtyard, the outer courtyard is long and narrow, one side stands with a hanging flower door, and the other side is the house door and the inverted seat room. When Lin Yan was repairing, he repaired the two inverted rooms on the left side of the courtyard door into a utility storehouse, and the row on the right was empty, only a warm kang was made, which could be used as a utility room or for people.
Wan Wan arranged Ah Qi in an empty upside-down room. As for the little sister and the fat cook, they lived in the ear room of the inner courtyard.
The twilight food of this meal was still prepared by Aunt Feng, and Aunt Feng pulled the three people who bought it back to have something to say, but she swallowed the words back after hesitation. She pulled her little sister and the fat cook to ask her carefully, and then she officially resigned to Wanwan.
Wan Wan handed over a pack of gifts she bought on the way back to Aunt Feng and personally sent her to the door. When I came back, I saw the fat cook with a tangled face.
Wan Wan asked, "What's wrong?" ”
The fat cook held back her stomach and wanted to say something, but she kept holding it because of the rules, and at this moment, when she saw Wanwan asking, she immediately spit it out. Her eyes were round, and her hands lit up a dancing afterimage on the dining table, "The color of this dish looks like it has passed the fire, and there are no salty bamboo shoots in this soup, and this pickle should be mixed with some balsamic vinegar and sesame oil to mix it ......." ”
After the fat cook finished speaking in one breath, she turned to Wan Wan Fu and said, "Let the slave and maid make amends, otherwise the slave and maid will not be able to stand it." ”
Wan Wan suddenly realized that she seemed to have chosen a tenacious cook. She didn't want to work hard, but when she saw the fat cook's tangled look, she smiled and said, "Then you can do it." ”
The fat cook's expression immediately relaxed, and she was busy with the wind under her feet, and she fully saw what a flexible fat man was called with every move.
Wan Wan didn't return to the main room, she sat in the kitchen and watched the fat cook busy with interest while eating melon seeds, and asked for a while: "I haven't asked this way, what is your name?" ”
The fat cook lady was a little proud when she mentioned her name, you must know that there are few serious names among the slaves to be sold in the tooth shop. Compared with names like Xiaomei and Ah Qi, which are not names at all, she still has a serious name.
She stopped what she was doing, and replied with great pride on her face: "Lord Hui, the slave is called a spatula." ”
Wan Wan almost squirted out a mouthful of melon seeds.
Spatula also knew that his name was a little funny, so he explained a little awkwardly: "Master has brought too many apprentices, and when it was our turn to be a group of people, he ran out of patience to come up with names, so he picked out names for us from the kitchen." ”
Although Spatula was proud of the serious name given by her master, she actually didn't like the name Spatula in her heart. But she has never cared too much, anyway, there will be a new, nice name after being bought by the master.
Spatula didn't expect that her proud look made Wan Wan think that she liked the name very much. Wan Wan thought that the "ancients" all respected their teachers, so she nodded and said, "Since this name was given by your master, then continue to call it a spatula." ”
The spatula immediately became sluggish, the corners of his mouth drooped and drooped, and finally he accepted his fate, and said "Yes." I wanted to cry and bury my head in the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar without tears.
The expression of the spatula didn't see it at all, she felt that she was a very humane master, and turned to the little sister with a smile of the Virgin, "Your name was given by your parents?" ”
The little sister said: "Back to the adult, the name of the little sister is not a name, but my father and brother have always called it like this." My brother's name is because he was abandoned outside the village when he was born, so everyone changed him. ”
Wan Wan rubbed her hands, "Then shall I give you a new name?" ”
The little sister immediately blessed herself again: "The adult is willing to give the name, and the slave and the elder brother are happy and grateful." ”
Wan Wan felt that this little girl's behavior seemed to be a little sensitive and nervous, and she was relieved when she thought about her life experience. This problem will be cured after a long time. She returned to choosing a name. Anyway, she has also read countless small talk books, and she thinks that she can still have some level of choosing a name.
She thought for a moment and said, "Then it's called the golden warbler, the gold of the gold, the warbler of the yellow warbler." Your brother is called Zhaocai. ”
Jin Ying's face was excited, and she knelt down and said, "Thank you for the name, the slave and maid will call my brother to thank you." ”
Wan Wan said: "This is not in a hurry, you get up first." I'll tell your brother when I'm sending you a twilight meal later. ”
Jin Ying bowed again and then got up. The spatula wanted to cry when I heard it on the side, the name Jin Ying is really good, even if it is a name for fortune, it is more like a name than a spatula.
The spatula is resentful, and the work of the hands is still very serious.
Wan Wan Suri felt that Aunt Feng's craftsmanship was very delicious, and she didn't want to toss it with a spatula like this, so the taste rose several levels. It's just that Wan Wan is very unaccustomed to the golden warbler and the spatula standing aside and waiting, so she told them to go and serve the food by themselves, and they don't have to wait from then on. The two of them rejoiced.
Wan Wan ate in the dining room, the spatula returned to the kitchen to eat, and Jin Ying took the food out of the courtyard to deliver food to her brother. The brain of the spatula is simple, and he eats happily at a meal, and he doesn't think about anything but what to eat tomorrow. The Jin Ying brothers and sisters thought a lot.
This lord is not as ferocious as the legend, on the contrary, the rules are very lenient. The brother and sister felt lucky, but at the same time they did not dare to relax quickly. Now Ah Qi, who should be a fortune recruiter, lowered his voice, and repeatedly told his sister to be careful and not to anger the general catcher. There are so many people with two faces in this world, and when she angered the chief arrester, she showed her murderous face.
The brother and sister had no idea how good Wanwan's ear power was.
Wan Wan, who was swallowing the soup, listened very happily, and her favorite was the famous name of the former master. This happiness didn't last long, and Wanwan's heart was chuckling. - How could such a strong girl commit suicide? She realized in hindsight that the trouble in this body was not just the agarwood box. Perhaps the secret hidden in the unknown is even more troublesome.
Wan Wan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly raised her neck very arrogantly and poured the remaining half pot of soup into her stomach. I've been fooled by that ghost, and now I don't regret taking the medicine. Besides, there are male gods in this plane. For the sake of the male god, all difficulties are not difficulties!
With this pride, Wan Wan soaked in the goat's milk bath and slept with a soft quilt. In the dream, she fought with the big-headed ghost for 300 rounds, and counted half a night of stars with her male god Hua Qianyue. It's a hectic dream.
Before dawn on the second day, Wan Wan heard someone tiptoeing around in the courtyard. When I opened the door, I saw the little girl Jin Ying and the cook spatula busy in and out.
Wan Wan sighed, rubbed her hands, and practiced her knife skills in the courtyard according to the instructions of the second master of Ming. She has never been a diligent person, but this knife technique has to be practiced. After all, in a high-risk occupation, a little more strength is a little more security. Therefore, Wan Wan practiced very seriously.
The spatula and the golden warbler are laymen, and in addition to thinking that they are good-looking, the biggest touch is that they are truly aware of the difference between this master. Jin Ying's heart trembled, and she repeatedly warned herself that she must serve this lord carefully and carefully. The spatula was thinking simply, she was just thinking: usually martial artists eat a lot of food and eat good meat. Women eat small amounts and are good vegetarians. What should be done now?
Jin Ying paid attention to Wan Wan's movements while doing things, and when she saw her wiping her sweat and walking into the house, she immediately took a basin of hot water and followed her with all her washing things. "Good morning, sir. I had some goat's milk left over from last night, but I want to add it to the cleansing water? ”
Seeing Wan Wan nodding, the golden warbler immediately found the goat's milk and added it to the basin.
After Wan Wan washed, Jin Ying combed through a thick black hair. Jin Ying was still a little nervous, and cautiously looked at Wan Wan in the mirror and asked, "My lord, what kind of bun do you want to comb today?" ”
What kind of bun to comb? As long as she doesn't tie a ponytail like she used to. At this point, Wan Wan is very negotiable.
"Whatever you want."
Jin Ying secretly swallowed her saliva, and carefully observed Wan Wan's face and facial features with her courage, and then lightly combed a hairstyle that Wan Wan had never seen before.
This hairstyle is very girly, and it has seven points of sassiness. Just to cover up her shortcomings and highlight her strengths. Wan Wan looked left and left and looked very satisfied.
Jin Ying opened the makeup box on the side, but saw that the jewelry inside was extremely rare. She hesitated again and again before picking out a pair of small step hairpins and placing them on Wan Wan's head.
Wan Wan also noticed that this pair of small steps is just the most suitable hairstyle in this makeup box. The former owner had almost no jewelry, and she didn't buy much. Thinking of Second Master Ming's outfit again, Wan Wan said: "After fifteen square cities, will it be open?" ”
Jin Ying said: "Back to my lord, almost all the shops will be open after the tenth day of the first month." ”
Wan Wan nodded, thinking that after the tenth day of the new year, she would buy some things and come back.
