Chapter 12 Treats
After the dialect parade, he also practiced all the Taoist supernatural powers, and returned to the house happily.
"Huh?"
Looking up at the sky, it was already noon, and half of the day had passed.
"What's the matter with Lian'er, she hasn't come back yet?"
Fang Yan suddenly had a feeling that the child was too old to be at home, and he stomped his feet uncomfortably, thinking about it for a long time, and hesitated to take it home.
In the end, it was a stomp and a decision.
"I'm just going to see Li Shaojun, what does it have to do with Lian'er?"
Li Shaojun, I'm here......
All the way through the cloud bridge, this time I didn't see the enlightened brother, and then walked through the sword forest, came to the orchard, walked through the medicine field, stood on the small wooden bridge, and looked at Li Shaojun's courtyard from afar.
Lian'er and the white fox are chasing Kurosawa all over the courtyard, the fire finch is chasing the stupid bird for mating, and the old turtle is lying on the edge of the pool basking in the sun.
Li Shaojun sat on a rocking chair by the stump, holding a scroll of Daozang in his hand, and a young man sat opposite him, drinking tea intently, looking up at the 'little cuties' in the courtyard from time to time, with a warm smile on the corner of his mouth.
Inadvertently looking back, I saw a woman standing by the wooden bridge, beautiful fireworks that do not eat the world.
The man stretched out his fingers and tapped on the tree stump, looked at Li Shaojun, who didn't know why, pouted, and asked, "Who is that?" ”
Li Shaojun put down the Daozang in his hand, glanced at it, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Come and drink tea!" ”
Turning his head, he whispered to the man: "The junior sister of Daozang Peak, the newly closed disciple of Senior Uncle Zheng, and the senior sister of Fang Yanfang, is the green snake that suppresses luck, and is also the owner of the Heaven Devouring Beast. ”
Fang Yan walked all the way, pushed open the courtyard door, and just as Kurosawa saw the opportunity, he turned around quickly and dexterously and slipped out through the crack in the door.
Click, the courtyard door closed.
Lian'er and the white fox stood by the closed courtyard gate, looking up at the dialect, the white fox took a half step back slightly, frightened by the breath of the dialect beast, and was about to catch up with Kurosawa, at this time, the fierce beast was at present, no matter how aggrieved he was, he didn't dare to show it, but Lian'er stretched out her claws regardless of it, slapped the ground, and raised her head fiercely and dissatisfiedly and meowed to the shovel officer.
Fang Yan leaned over and picked it up, ignoring Lian'er's struggles, walked straight to the tree stump, picked up a hospitality spirit fruit from above, and handed it to Lian'er.
"Click~!"
The crisp sound of biting fruit sounded, and Lian'er rebelled.
The white fox silently turned around, walked to the corner, looked down at the dark ground in the corner, and wept silently.
Li Shaojun put Daozang on the stump, picked up the tea, and introduced the man sitting opposite.
"Lin Yun, Senior Brother Yu Xuanfeng, is also a Senior Brother of the Sect."
He stretched out his hand and pointed at Fang Yan and looked at Lin Yun.
"The dialect, Daozang Feng is also a closed disciple of Uncle Zheng."
Li Shaojun nodded with a smile and added.
"At present, it seems that she is also the youngest junior sister of our Qingying Sword Sect, at least until the next time the mountain opens to accept apprentices, of course...... Except in exceptional circumstances. ”
Lin Yun stood up and saluted, bowed his hand, and said, "I've seen Senior Sister Fang." ”
Fang Yan hurriedly stood up and returned the salute, "I've seen Senior Brother Lin." ”
Li Shaojun leaned back on the rocking chair for a long time, lay down, and said with a smile: "Senior Sister Fang came at the right time today, I have something good to entertain you." ”
Fang Yan looked around suspiciously, wondering, "What good thing?" ”
Lin Yun sighed silently for the undetectable and asked, "Oh? Planted? ”
Li Shaojun smiled and nodded, picked up the Daozang scripture scroll in his hand, pointed to the thatched hut, and said, "It's in the house, I'll make a meal for you in the evening, it's glutinous and tastes good." ”
Lin Yun looked at Fang Yan and said with a smile: "Senior Sister Fang is a coincidence, this guy informed me yesterday that he had a treat today, I guess it was something good that he accidentally got when he traveled to the prairie back then." ”
Fang Yan nodded, not knowing why, and stayed with an indifferent mentality to wait and see.
Lin Yun held the tea and said with a smile: "No wonder you said you wanted to treat you today." ”
Li Shaojun didn't answer, just smiled, looked at Daozang, and hummed a ballad in his mouth.
"The head of the checker, the gray back is green; Eilechuan, under the Yin Mountain. ”
"The sky is like a dome, covering the four wildernesses."
"The sky is blue, and the wilderness is vast."
"The wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep ......"
This is a ballad from the savannah, right?
Fang Yan frowned suspiciously, not knowing what medicine was sold in Li Shaojun's gourd.
Lin Yun clenched the teacup uncomfortably, his face was deep, and his eyes looked at the northern grassland deeply.
For a while, the small courtyard was silent, and only Li Shaojun's grassland folk song sounded.
Fang Yan quietly moved his body like a pins and needles, feeling that this meal was really a torment of waiting.
Finally, in the evening, Li Shaojun got up and went to the house to take out pots and pans, as well as a bag of rice.
That's right, it's rice.
Fang Yan and Lin Yun glanced at each other very tacitly, and strode forward, stretched out their hands and grabbed a handful of rice.
Lin Yun said suspiciously: "What kind of rice is this?" ”
Fang Yan exclaimed in surprise and said, "Glutinous rice! ”
Lin Yun looked over and asked, "Glutinous rice?" Do you know? ”
Fang Yan knew that he was speechless, so he quickly shook his head and said, "I don't know, since he said that this rice is glutinous, isn't it glutinous rice~!" ”
Li Shaojun clapped his palms and sighed: "A good name is called glutinous rice, which is simple and easy to understand." ”
Fang Yan tugged at the corners of his mouth and asked, "Are you going to make us a meal of sticky rice?" ”
Li Shaojun nodded and said, "Exactly." ”
Fang Yanpi said with a smile: "I'm looking forward to it!" ”
Lin Yun smiled and nodded, "I'm also looking forward to it." ”
Li Shaojun took matters into his own hands, washed the glutinous rice, poured it into the pot, and added an appropriate amount of water.
Light the fire and wait for the rice to cook.
Lin Yun said with a smile: "I'll pick some fruit and eat it with food." ”
Li Shaojun waved his hand and said, "You go to find the fruit, and I will go to the medicine field to find a few medicinal herbs that can be used as seasonings to make a medicinal meal." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and left hand in hand with a tacit understanding.
Fang Yan covered his forehead and sighed, saying, "This meal is really nutritious and healthy!" ”
A moment later, the two returned, one cutting the fruit and the other processing the herbs.
When the glutinous rice was almost cooked, Li Shaojun hurriedly took out a piece of meat, began to process the meat pieces, poured them into the pot along with the herbs and seasonings, stir-fried for a while, covered the pot and continued to simmer until it was cooked through.
The fragrance overflows and is unusually strong.
Fang Yan sat silently on the side, holding Lian'er and looking up at the sky.
Lin Yun looked at the rice pot with blazing eyes, his face full of anticipation.
Li Shaojun lifted the lid of the pot, fanned the aroma with his hand, moved his nose slightly, and said, "It's really fragrant, you can eat it." ”
After eating a meal of glutinous rice, Lin Yun and Li Shaojun ate it with relish, and the dialect only felt difficult to swallow.
The two of them looked at Fang Yan very tacitly and asked, "What?" Isn't it tasty? ”
Fang Yan quickly shook his head, made an excuse, and said: "I remember that grain can make wine, this glutinous rice is so fragrant, the wine brewed should be very fragrant, right?" ”
In her previous life, there was a kind of wine in her hometown, there was no alcohol, she drank it very well, and she had a lot of stamina, but it tasted very sweet, very moist and smooth, and it was very easy to eat, this kind of wine was made from glutinous rice, called 'rice wine', also called glutinous rice tea.
It is green jade color, such as green jade pulp.
It's just that if you want it to be delicious and have enough stamina, you have to store it, otherwise it's like a drink.
Among them, it is also said that when there is a bumper harvest in winter, everyone will steam glutinous rice wine, and then take it out and drink it after a winter storage, generally during the Spring Festival, so this wine is also called 'winter wine'.
The elders of the family will knock a chicken down (egg) during the Spring Festival, put some wolfberries, and take it to the stove to heat it together with winter wine, which is said to be very nutritious and nourishing.
Li Shaojun and Lin Yun glanced at each other, nodded and said, "You can try." ”
After speaking, they looked at each other again and spoke in unison.
"Do you know how to steam wine?"
Fang Yan quietly raised his hand and said, "I should do." ”
After eating quickly, Li Shaojun and Lin Yun were looking forward to Fang Yan's steamed wine, and planned to give her a hand.
Fang Yan held Lian'er and commanded Ruoding, and instructed: "Pot, clean it, glutinous rice, clean it with mountain spring water, and then soak it for a few hours to prepare koji." ”
Lin Yun carried glutinous rice and pot to the mountain spring water, planning to do it himself.
Li Shaojun took the bowl with the remaining glutinous rice in it, he put it on the top of the tree stump, stretched out his hand to pick up the white fox, sat opposite the dialect, touched the white fox's hair, and said, "Eat." ”
Kurosawa and Firebird looked at Li Shaojun, who was obviously eccentric, and chattered non-stop.
When Lin Yun came back, the pot was soaked with cleaned glutinous rice.
Because it was getting late, Lin Yun and Fang Yan glanced at each other and said goodbye, planning to come back tomorrow to continue to complete the winemaking business.
Before leaving, Fang Yan also advised: "Soak overnight, soak for six hours, and wait for me to come tomorrow." ”
The sunset is afterglow, and the evening breeze is like a knife, cutting the years, and also cutting off the people who once loved each other, as well as each other's concerns, leaving only the silent thoughts of the remnant sun at such a time, quietly, making people feel both beautiful and terrible.
Li Shaojun hugged the white fox and chuckled in a low voice, as warm as jade.
"They don't know why I'm having a treat today."
