Volume 1 Mountain no Lan Chapter 69 Chicken Soup on the Winter Solstice
When Li Ye returned to the wooden house, Mu Murou was already full and was drinking soup with a bowl. Mr. and Bai Susu were already roasting pheasant meat, and a hare left him with only one calf.
Mu Mu looked at Li Ye who entered the house, pouted and said, "Brother, if you don't come back, Mu Mu will eat your flesh." ”
Li Ye smiled, picked up the rabbit meat from the table, tore it off, handed it to her to eat, and said, "It's okay, it's all for you to eat." ”
The gentleman was drinking the fruit wine in the cup, and when he saw Li Ye, who had been outside the house for half an hour, come back, he smiled and said, "How is it, do you want to understand?" ”
Li Ye was about to put a piece of meat in his mouth, but when he heard Mr. ask, he stopped and replied softly: "Thank you, sir, you figured it out, eat meat when you eat meat." ”
The gentleman laughed, poured a glass of fruit wine and handed it to Li Ye. "I'm happy today, I can have a drink! ”
poured a full cup for Bai Susu again, Mu Mu clamored to drink, but Bai Susu didn't give it.
Li Ye thought about it, picked up his cup, sent it to Mu Mu's mouth, and said, "If you are happy, just taste it, and drink it when you grow up." ”
Mu Mu stood on the master's lap like a kitten, hugged Li Ye, took a shallow sip of the fruit wine in the cup, stuck out his tongue and said it was unpleasant.
provoked both the husband and the master to laugh, and Mu Mu took the first sip of wine in her life, and let Li Ye feed her a sip.
Li Ye carefully tore the meat in his hand, while eating, he handed Mu Mu a piece from time to time, Bai Susu hurriedly said that he couldn't give her any more food, and he didn't feed the pigs.
Listening to Mu Mu giggle, he said that he was a greedy little pig.
......
The people who practice on the mountain are happy, and the people who practice at the bottom of the mountain are soft.
After returning to the city from the mountain, Li Hongsleeve went back to the academy and never left the Hongsleeve Building again.
Every day, in addition to integrating "Qingluan Condensation" with his own practice, he sits on the fourth floor, builds a charcoal fire in front of him, boils a pot of tea, looks at the snowflakes outside the house, and thinks about his own thoughts.
The Liuhe River in front of the building has frozen, and it looks quiet on the surface, with no current. But Li Hongsleeve knew that the water in the river was not completely frozen, and there were still fish flowing and water swimming at the bottom of the water.
Like oneself, the man returned to the city, but his heart remained on the mountain.
Today is the winter solstice, and the people of Fengyun City will kill pigs and eat meat, celebrating this year's harvest and looking forward to the safety of the coming year.
Li Hongsleeve refused Ye Zhiqiu's invitation to Mrs. General's Mansion and some friends in the city, and sat alone in the building.
Having no appetite, he asked Xiaohong to cook herself a bowl of Yangchun noodles and pour a glass of the strongest wine in Fengyun City.
Or Ye Zhiqiu asked Agui to send her an urn of chicken soup, saying that the winter solstice is coming, and women should be able to maintain it.
Looking at the chicken soup on the table, the strong smell wafting out of the urn, Li Hongsleeve suddenly felt a little appetite, poured some soup on Yangchun noodles, and fished a piece of chicken leg from the soup, and nibbled it in his hand.
Picking up the wine glass, he took a shallow sip, and suddenly felt that although the wine in Fengyun City was strong, it seemed to owe something.
The taste turned out to be a fruit wine made by Mr. on the Tianshan Mountain, although it was not strong, it had a strong fruity flavor, and the mouth was full of fragrant aroma, which was incomparable to this spirit.
On the winter solstice, guests celebrate the festival in their respective homes. There are very few people on the street, and those who have not returned are walking home, if the big Fengyun City, this day is very quiet, there is no wind, no noise.
Li Hongsleeve was used to hearing the noise in the building, and he was a little unaccustomed to it when he quieted down all of a sudden. This kind of quiet scenery can only be found in a wooden house on the mountain, and I never thought that I could occasionally feel it in the bustling city.
Bowl the Yangchun noodles in front of him, savor the taste of chicken soup, chew the tendons of the noodles in his mouth, and feel the helplessness of Ye Zhiqiu when he missed Li Ye.
Suddenly a little irritable, he picked up his glass and took a big sip......
Since leaving her sister from Sifang City to Fengyun City to open the Red Sleeve Building, she has been thinking about working hard to earn money, thinking that she won't have to starve anymore if she has money.
When she met Mr. Li Yehe again, she felt that what she wanted was not money, she wanted to follow Mr. to live and practice together, drink together, play the piano together, and leave this world together.
Picked up the bowl, drank the soup at the bottom of the bowl, and couldn't help but put another bowl of chicken soup from the urn, this winter solstice chicken soup can warm the body, but also warm the lonely heart at the moment.
......
The winter solstice in the little fat man's house was lively, and their family went to Mr.'s house, which was Ye Zhiqiu's invitation.
In the words of the master, when the son is not there, he will return his friends to his son's friends and have a lively winter solstice together.
The two families together were five people, gathered in the flower hall of the master's house, and made a stove to eat from the pot.
Li Ye saw this way of eating from the collection of books in Mr. 's study, and later went home and tried it with his parents, it felt fresh and delicious, Ye Zhiqiu learned from Li Ye how to boil the hot pot base, but he didn't expect to use it today.
Tang Youyu traveled north and south, and ate a lot of delicacies, but it was the first time to eat hot pot, and while wiping his sweat, he said: "Sister-in-law's craftsmanship is too powerful, why don't we two partner to open a restaurant like this, and the business will definitely go without saying." ”
Although the little fat man is no longer fat, the master and Ye Zhiqiu still call him the little fat man.
He also eats and sweats profusely, just like his father.
The little fat man who ate happily said to his father: "That's it, sir, you go with my father, and I'll help you wash the dishes." ”
Ye Zhiqiu looked at the two happy fathers and sons, and also smiled happily: "Where to find another place to open a restaurant, the red sleeves said that she will go up the mountain to find Mr. and Ye'er after the beginning of spring, it is estimated that she will not have the heart to care about this red sleeves building in the future." ”
"If she really wants to open the building, isn't she ready-made? She wishes that someone would help her take care of it now, and she has already put her mind on Mr. Mo. ”
Tang Youyu patted his head, jumped up and said: "Why didn't I think of this, that's just right, even the money to buy the decoration of the building has been saved, count the three of us as a partnership, you will pay the prescription, I will pay the money, and Li Hongsleeve will go out of the place, absolutely not!"
The master saw that his wife liked it, and he didn't object, but said: "There are fish, you have to think clearly, if we open a restaurant, we will definitely not be able to manage it, and you have to sell medicine, how can anyone manage this restaurant?"
Tang Youyu shook his head, thought for a while and said, "My medicine pavilion is all purchased from others, and now the price is getting higher and higher, and I can't make a few dollars, let Qian'er take care of it in the future, or simply transfer it to others." ”
Chen Qian glared at her husband and said, "How can this industry be turned around, you have to find a kind-hearted person to take care of it, the trading of this herb is a life-saving thing." ”
The master and his wife all said that this matter should not be messed with, and that a decision should be made after careful summingup.
The little fat man looked at Zhong Zhiqiu and asked in a low voice, "May I ask sir, can my brother Li Ye come back from the Tianshan Mountain when he tells me?"
Ye Zhiqiu asked the little fat man suddenly, and he was a little flustered.
Raising his head and looking at the direction of the Tianshan Mountain outside the house, he said faintly: "I heard Li Hongsleeve say that it will take about a year at the earliest, and it is possible to stay for two to three years if you are slower." ”
Speaking of this, Ye Zhiqiu got up and went to the study, and after a while, he came out with a letter in his hand, handed it to Tang Youyu, and said softly: "This is a letter of recommendation written by Mr. Li Hongsleeve from the mountain, take a look." ”
Tang Youyu was a little confused, and said in his heart, what did Mr. Mo do to write a letter?
He took it apart and looked at it carefully, and after a while, he handed it to the little fat man and said, "This is a letter from Mr. Mo to you, as well as Brother Hu and his sister, recommending that the three of you go to the Qingcheng Sect in the Central Region to practice." ”
The little fat man was overjoyed when he heard this, and took it and read it carefully. While watching, he shouted: "It's still my brother Li Ye who is good to me, he practices with my husband himself, and he hasn't forgotten our three brothers." ”
Only Chen Qian looked at Ye Zhiqiu and said embarrassedly: "The mountains and rivers in this middle region are far away, and I don't know when I will go back this time." In my opinion, it's better to wait for Chao'er to be older before going. ”
The master thought for a while, looked at Tang Youyu seriously, and said, "What Chen Qian said makes sense, the Central Domain is not as convenient as going back and forth in the Tianshan Mountains. It's better to wait for the child to be a little older, practice is a long thing, don't rush for a while. ”
Tang Youyu thought for a while, and then said to the little fat man: "What the master said to your mother is reasonable, how old are you? ”
"The day after tomorrow, when you see your two classmates, you will also tell his brothers and sisters about this, so that their parents will also know that there is such a thing, as for whether to go in the future, it depends on their family to decide. ”
In the garden outside the flower hall, the trees on the ground are covered with snowflakes, and the eaves have ice cubes hanging upside down. But the people in the house were covered with sweat, and their hearts were warm.
The little fat man who wants to practice thinks about his future practice, Tang Youyu, Ye Zhiqiu, and Chen Qian, who want to do business, think about how to persuade Li Hongsleeve to open a restaurant in the future, and the master thinks about his son's cultivation in the ice and snow.
Ye Zhiqiu said while serving vegetables to Chen Qian and the little fat man: "You don't have to say anything about Li Hongsleeve, she is going to Tianshan in the spring, and she will not be in a hurry." I passed by her one day and talked to her about it, and I guess there was no problem. ”
"These days, the two of you have to sum up, you have to invite a cook when you open a restaurant, a person who washes vegetables and dishes, a girl who serves dishes, and many miscellaneous things, you have to think about it seriously, and you can't wait until you are in a hurry. ”
Master, Tang Youyu and Chen Qian all said that what Ye Zhiqiu said was reasonable, and these trivial matters had to be prepared well in advance.
Only the little fat man was secretly excited, thinking that he would tell Hu Ge and Xiaoju tomorrow that the three of them could go to the legendary sect to practice together, and this was a great opportunity for them to not miss.
Qingcheng in the Xuanyu is a holy place for Taoist practice, and the choice of disciples has always been strict and famous, although the Qingcheng Mountain Range is not as majestic as the Tianshan Mountains, not as beautiful as the Phoenix Mountain, but the peaks of Qingcheng are notoriously dangerous, and the Taoist who practices is said to be able to fly to the sky and the earth, and it is a place where countless boys and girls dream of going.
And when he saw it, he was going there.
