Chapter 123: Forgetting the New Year

Since the hot wheat harvest, this thing has continued one by one, and I can't go to a summer resort, so I sweat at home. Seeing that Xie Bao's injuries were getting better day by day, he was thinking that he could get away with it for a while, but Ke Ying got a large piece of land back at this time, and when he was planning, building houses and relocating tenant farmers, he couldn't leave people, and he was getting closer and tighter day by day.

Early in the morning, the Yun family came to visit Xie Bao, and when they saw that their health was fine, they once again asked to take Xie Bao away. I can't object, Xie Bao has been entangled by the fourth child recently, and he also revealed that he wants to leave, Ying for the so-called innocence of the fourth child, without saying a word, let him go.

Anyway, the letter that should be sent has also been delivered, everything that should be said has been greeted, Qin Yu's entrustment has been successfully completed, as for where Xie Bao wants to live, it is the freedom of others, and there is no reason for me to stretch out my hand. When I sent him, I deliberately gave him a bag of belongings, which was enough to eat, drink and have fun for a while.

In this era, gift-giving depends on the person, and it depends on the identity. Dealing with Cheng Chu and these people, the gifts of one hundred and ten taels of silver cakes often come and go, and they give them heartily, and they receive them with peace of mind, but they can't be like this with Xie Bao, it's not stingy, it's in accordance with their duties. If it is the same as the Cheng family, Xie Bao will not dare to accept it in the first place, and if it is not done well, it will cause misunderstanding and backfire.

Lanling brought good news, the fields of Wangjiafenghe were officially classified as cotton planting experimental bases, the imperial court allocated grain according to the quarter, and also distributed some large livestock, and registered the tenants left behind in the village, and the farmers happily picked up the iron rice bowl and ate the public meal.

Ying was overjoyed, and worked hard to entertain Lanling once, what county lord, county lord came to a large group, this is the first large-scale banquet of the Wang family in recent years, spent enough money, with enough strength. All according to my meaning. The cooking skills taught in the kitchen in person, according to the original set of my mother during the Chinese New Year, just croquettes, fried crispy meat, fried twist flowers, fried hemp leaves, used dozens of catties of vegetable oil, yellow stewed chicken, strip meat, sweet rice A lot of them, after eating and drinking, they were packed and given away, anyway, it was hot. Even if you put it in the cellar, it will deteriorate, and the purpose is to eat and drink all of it, and leave no fat or thin.

Because I was a guest at the banquet, I casually showed up and ran to the moat to fish, and did not return home until the evening. The guests were all dispersed, and Ying Zheng sat in the main hall with a smile and discussed with the housekeeper's accountant, "How is today?" Are the guests satisfied? ”

"Satisfied, satisfied." Ying got up and saluted me. Pull me to sit down, "Don't say it's a guest, even the concubine hasn't eaten so many tricks, and many things are the first time I've seen them." ”

"Yes, yes. Madame said yes. These practices are unheard of, not to mention the ability of the little marquis, the old man and I have lived the age of a dog. "Steward Qian probably didn't eat less today. The big belly is round, and the long shirt is tightly propped up, "A total of forty-one copies were sent out in the afternoon, and there were still fewer preparations, and there were still guests who lost their tempers." ”

"Hehe..."As you can imagine, unlike the male guests, the boss and a group of women huddled together and chirped. Like a flock of wild ducks on the riverside, fighting and making noise, a big scene. "Then make some more to send, and make the family happy."

"Exactly." Ying smiled and nodded, clapping her hands with satisfaction, "Even if you don't send it, you have to make some out, it's much more delicious than the meals at home on weekdays." Wronged Mr. Hu, and the second daughter and the fourth daughter came back late. I ate some sweet and sour meatballs (sweet and sour meatballs) and a few bowls of fatty meat (sliver meat). The rest of the chickens and sweet rice are all gone. ”

"Don't say that, ma'am. Just the sweet and sour meatballs, I ate two plates in the next breath, and I was too addicted. Mr. Hu stood up and arched his hand, pointed to Steward Qian's big belly and said with a smile: "On weekdays, if you come back late for dinner, you will look at Brother Qian's belly first." If it is swollen, the family must be a good meal, after making up your mind to be unwilling; If it is flat and deflated, then don't say a word, and directly weigh the pig's head meat at the mouth of the village and drink it. ”

Ha ha...... The image of Hu Ledger's words, Steward Qian Hao didn't care, and laughed heartily, "Brother Hu made fun of it." Thanks to the blessing of the little marquis and his wife, as soon as the days are good, people's mouths will become tricky, if you want to say that this non-fishy meal, how can you not eat it happily, it is all taken care of by the little marquis and his wife, and he is used to the problem of the old man, and even my mother-in-law said that she can't afford to serve the old man, hehe......"

"Speaking of it, there are shrimp in the moat today, and after fishing this day, there are few fish, all of them are dried shrimp." Today, there are all female guests in the house, and I didn't prepare too much when I went out in a hurry, so I grabbed a few pieces of pork bones to use to catch a fish nest, and came back from catching a shrimp. "It's all put on the windowsill, let the kitchen boil water in it for a while, this thing is dipped in vinegar and the underwater wine is the best."

Ying listened to my words, confessed embarrassedly, and ran to give me dinner.

Since I am the only one left to eat, the back house is happy, a large plate of shrimp, a plate of vinegar sprinkled with minced ginger, a pot of old wine, sitting in the patio, leisurely.

As soon as Xie Bao left, the fourth child had no time to play, and he became a fine man in the back house with the second daughter all day long, giggling, not a little out of love. It seems that Ying is out of sight, and the fourth child only regards Xie Bao as an object to relieve boredom, and there is nothing to do if he is in love. At least not from the looks. Seeing that I was eating and drinking freely, he came to talk to me: "Brother-in-law, where is my sister?" ”

"Oh, while it's still dark, go to the Zhuangzi to have a look, the foundation is being filled in the back." I peeled the shrimp shell and dipped it in the seasoning, "Shall I have one?" ”

The fourth child heard that Ying couldn't come back for a while, so he came to the strength, and shouted at the second daughter of Dalai outside the door, caught a shrimp and ate it like me.

The second daughter came to see the fourth child eating my meal, her little face was stretched, and she washed her hands indiscriminately and came up to peel shrimp, and she threw them into my bowl one by one. The fourth child is not as fast as the second daughter, and when he was eating, he glared at the second daughter and muttered: "I kindly asked you to come to eat, and I helped bully me." ”

The second girl grinned, wiped her hands, and ran away.

"I'll go fishing again tomorrow, it's not easy to eat shrimp, it's all over the river." Push the bowl of shrimp to the fourth: "You have eaten everything, I am full." ”

The fourth child was never polite at home, and stuffed the bowl when she served, and her mouthful of food couldn't stop her from speaking: "Brother-in-law, everyone is your age, either sharpening their heads and drilling into the court or killing the enemy and capturing the flag; You have such a good background, you want identity, you want status. The people and the land are complete, and they are high-ranking officials and eunuchs at hand, and it is not too bad to waste time just fishing? ”

"It's easy to think of being an official, your brother-in-law doesn't have that ability." The little girl learned to preach like an adult, which is interesting. "Such a big family can't take care of it, and it's a waste of time to be an officer and lead the troops, and there's no effort."

"As you say, I'm not blind. It doesn't matter if you have the ability to say it yourself, outsiders have to say. The fourth child took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, "Look at the real thing, isn't it your plan to fight Goryeo this time?" Even my sister has added an order, and she doesn't have to kneel down when she sees the emperor in the future. Brother-in-law, have you seen the emperor? ”

"No, the emperor is so easy to see?" I laughed dumbly, this girl thinks differently than ordinary people. "There is only one emperor, like me, every one in the capital grabbed a handful, and they all rushed to face the saint, and they must not annoy the emperor to death."

"The emperor doesn't see you. That's his fault, what a mistake to put such a person without it. The fourth child was dissatisfied, and said arbitrarily: "In the flower water workshop." When I see a talented person, I know how to promote, he is an emperor, is he not as good as me? ”

"Hehe, say crazy things," I appreciate the management methods of the old four places, but they are not comparable with the senior leaders of others. "If you think the shrimp are delicious, I'll catch some more tomorrow. Oh. By the way, remember the Tibetan merchant last time, right? They will let me know next time they come, and they will be well treated. "This Tibetan man has to be good in the People's Republic of China, whether it is for the country or for money, and he will be used more in the future.

"Well, don't worry." The fourth child went back to the room and took a few bottles out, "Brother-in-law, you are an expert." New toilet water. Give a statement. ”

I pushed the bottle aside, "Don't look." I will not interfere with what is handed over to you and the second daughter. Whether it's good or bad, you two can do it, don't ask me. "My appreciation of perfume is surprisingly poor and I am not qualified to evaluate it.

"Hehe, my brother-in-law listened to his words smoothly, and he was much better than the second daughter. She guards against me like a thief every day, but I'm afraid that I will steal your secret recipe, last time I entered the house where she dispensed medicine, and gave me a stinky scolding, saying that I would turn my face and turn my face, but it was difficult to serve. The fourth child put the bottle away with a smile, "The second daughter hid from me as soon as she came home these days, deliberately didn't talk to me, and wanted me to be bored, so why don't you go home early?" ”

"She is busy training Goryeo maids, not specifically avoiding people. She was originally a person who didn't talk much. "The fourth child looked at the thick nerves, but he was a thin-haired person, and the second daughter's intentions were seen through, so I had to cover it up," I was busy all day in the workshop, and there were times when I was tired and didn't speak, and she was like this when you didn't come. ”

"Brother-in-law, you are short of what you say, anyway, you have this temper in your family, and you never say that your family is wrong." The fourth child smiled, "I originally planned to go back to live for two days first, but I didn't leave, and I couldn't take advantage of the second daughter's wishes." ”

"That's, that's, how long you want to stay depends on what you mean, I'm okay with that." This is still a hob meat, not easy to serve, "I'll give you fishing tomorrow, and I'll go back to the house to prepare fishing gear, you and the second daughter play first, play well." "If she were a man, I might have to praise her, but if a woman has such a temper, she must stay away.

The day after tomorrow, Lanling will return to Xiyuan to invite Ying and the ladies, ask for leave, and arrange it in person. I'm happy to spend a few days free, and it's nice to go fishing alone. I make all the fishing gear, and making and organizing it is just as much fun as fishing.

There is no need to dig earthworms as bait, maggots raised at home are more effective than earthworms, put them in a wooden box, sprinkle a handful of flour on them, and they are clean and do not stick to your hands. Get up before dawn in the morning, go late yesterday, several good locations are occupied by fishing enthusiasts, the moat has an inlet connected to the outer canal, today must seize that treasure land, yesterday an old man sat fishing for a day, three or four catties of big fish connected to a few, I see my eyes red.

Great, there is no one in the feng shui treasure land, I moved a few broken bricks to sit on, and took advantage of the early morning to catch the time to fish, the weather is hot, and it will not be much to fish after the afternoon.

"Oh, it's not a small harvest." Yesterday, the old man came, and mentioned the fish in my water, which already had more than a dozen trophies of all sizes, "Almost all crucian carp, the little doll has a level, this fish old man can't catch on weekdays, and the slippery head is tight." ”

"Hehe, the old uncle complimented me. Try your luck, dial it up, take a chance. The old man was kind and kind-eyed, and his tone of voice was soft, and people were comfortable listening to it. This old man is a rich man, and although he is dressed plainly, the fishing gear is definitely of the highest quality, and the red shiny straight rod makes me jealous. Even the fishing nest is soaked in wine on the ground with good millet, and it is a big bowl when sprinkled, not to lure fish. It's to feed the fish. Only those who have occupied a place for a long time to fish spend this cost, and in this day and age it is a wasteful behavior. "Uncle put it here, and the boy will find another place." Fishermen regardless of age, whether they know each other or not, they are kind, and they are so old that they have a long-term fishing nest. There's no reason for me to be cheeky and take over this place to snatch the fruits of victory.

"No, I'll stand next to you and fish, there are a lot of fish. Catch it. "The old man went up to the river bank and took two big green bricks one by one to use them as benches, and I was dumbfounded when I saw it. I tried to find a small brick that had broken the wall, and if I had to carry a whole piece down the embankment, it would be enough to exhaust me, and if I carried one arm on it, I would die.

The strength is big, and the legs and feet are neat, but this old man is a good mallet for fishing. No wonder I watched him get angry with the big fish from afar yesterday. Today, he said that the crucian carp is cunning, and the hook he uses is too big, the largest crucian carp is only half a catty, and the small mouth and small body are difficult to bite the hook. Fishing gear is good. Let him use it and spoil it, people pay attention to wrist kung fu when they pull the rod, and the moment the fish floats down, the wrist trembles up and down by an inch or two. It is elegant and chic, and has a bloodless demeanor; He is good, directly using the dantian strength, when pulling the rod arrow step, top waist, both arms round a competition, the fishing rod and fishing line made a screaming sound that broke the air and flew into the air, if the fishing rod in the hand was replaced with a ghost head knife. To live is to be an executioner. The hateful thing is that when he exerts his strength, he occasionally shouts, which makes me worry on the side, just afraid that the fishing rod and hook will be drawn on my body by flying all over the sky, which is too dangerous.

"Hey! Another empty shot, the fish is getting more and more slippery. The old man pulled an empty pole full of hope, shook his head in dissatisfaction, turned around and dug up a large bowl of millet and sprinkled it into the water. Weird. Let's go to one place, how do you go one by one? Did you use good bait? As he spoke, he crouched down and looked through my little box of maggots.

"Uncle. Now is the time for the fish to eat, and it doesn't matter if the bait is good or bad. "I flicked my wrist, and it was another one, and the old man looked envious." It's all thanks to you, so much millet is caught every day, and the fish here have developed the habit of coming here every day to eat. ”

"Then why don't you eat my hook? Old man, try you this. As he spoke, he took out a few maggots and skewered them on the hook, and waited in a murderous pose. After a while, the sound of breaking the sky rose again, "Oh, it's still your bait, just go down." "A poor crucian carp was lifted up by the old man, the fish was so pitiful, it was not hooked by the mouth, but hung on the belly and dragged up, miserable!

"Uncle, there's something wrong with your hook," I was shocked to see, if I were to be caught by his big hook wheel, I would either die or be injured, "come, try this one for me." "It was fine last night, I made a few hooks under the candle and picked a suitable one and handed it over.

"Well, no wonder, it's still you who look at the fine hair," the old man happily took the hook, tied it with his hands and feet, and didn't get it together after a few clicks, and the hook fell into the river, and I wanted to hit him. I couldn't help it, so I found another one and helped him tie it to the fishing line. In order to be safe, he deliberately demonstrated the standard action of the lever a few times, and the old man learned it quite quickly, and he had a good appearance in just a few clicks.

"Haha, yes, you have to learn everything," the old man pulled a few in a row, and smiled happily, "Thanks to you, the crucian carp that have fallen in the past four days together is not as much as this one." ”

Four days, no wonder. Those who can say so are novices, and it seems that he is just getting started. "Hehe, Uncle has won the award, what to learn or not, just learn from each other. If you want to talk about the momentum of your fishing, it is not that ordinary people can have land, and the action of the lever alone is earth-shattering. ”

"Hehe, I heard it, you kid made a detour to make up the old man. Haha......" The old man smiled heartily, sat on the green brick, grabbed a handful of weeds to wipe his hands, and pulled a food box out of the delicate skin, "I came early in the morning, and I didn't eat breakfast." You also come with it, and bring more land. ”

I didn't eat in the morning, but the old man was refreshed, so I didn't shirk it. I wiped my hands indiscriminately, sat opposite the old man, and ate without chopsticks. Fishing enthusiasts are like this, as long as they are happy to play, the unhygienic ones have long been left behind. The old man's meal is good, I twisted a ball and put it in my mouth, it was delicious, and then a piece of fried chicken, not bad. The chicken is fried horizontally, and the batter mixed with eggs is fried outside, which is crispy and fragrant, and it is more delicious if it comes out of the pot. There are also a few twist flowers, I took one of them and looked at them, my face was familiar, and I had seen them. If you don't guess wrong...... It is Chen Laosi's handwriting, the fourth twist is a must, look at me rubbing the twist is interesting, I have to join in the fun, I taught an afternoon, she can't get together, three deflated and four not round, like a crooked neck tree that was struck by lightning.

"Isn't it delicious?" The old man was happy to eat, and the twist bit rattled, "If you want to say that you are still a good mouthful, this thing is the first time the old man has eaten it, and it tastes good." ”

"Oh, it's delicious." It's so happy to be invited by others to eat your own things after running so far, this old man must be a female guest invited by Ying yesterday, "What does Uncle mean, don't you eat often on weekdays?" ”

"I want to eat it often, haha." The old man took out a wine gourd, took a sip, and sighed, "It's all sent by someone else." To say, the person who delivered the food box is a capable person, and he is estimated to be about the same age as you, and he is a genius. The old man has the heart to visit, hehe, it's a pity. ”

"It's a pity?" This old man is talking about me, listening to the weirdness in his words, I don't know how I am sorry, "What do you say?" ”

"What else are you talking about? And he's not all the way. Eat fast, eat good fishing. The old man shook his head, a look of loss.
