Chapter 9: Egg Stew and Meat Foam
The tenant paid the rent for the first quarter of next year and happily sent her out of the door, "Owner, come and sit when you have time......"
Riding on the little donkey, Ji Rongjin waved his hand and left leisurely.
The little daughter-in-law of the tenant said, "If only I had such a shop to collect rent, I wouldn't show my face." ”
"Who's to say it isn't?" Tenant mother-in-law attached.
……
The family sighed and turned to go into the house to do business.
A thin man with a thief head and a thief entered the store, pretending to be eating, and asked, "Why did that little lady leave without eating just now?" No money? ”
The little daughter-in-law said, "She is our ......"
was dragged behind by her mother-in-law, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, there are gluttonies and flat food, what do you want to eat?" ”
The thin man rolled his eyes, "Bring me a bowl of flat food." As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes rolled again, "It turns out that she is your landlord, is that collecting rent?" ”
While talking, he paid attention to the young daughter-in-law's expression, and he guessed correctly when he saw it, and waited for the little daughter-in-law to serve the bowl, "Aren't these things done by men, why is she a little ......lady?"
The little daughter-in-law was plucked by her mother-in-law, and she no longer talked casually: "Guest officer, if the soup is not enough, call me!" After that, he went to the side and wiped the table.
The thin man muttered and cursed secretly, but Lao Tzu didn't believe it and couldn't inquire about a few people.
The courtyard of Beicheng was rented to the Langzhong family who fled to the capital, one in and one out, the patio at the door was open and open, the patients were not too crowded, the price was fair, there was no accident, they would continue to rent.
After renting for two years, the old man found that every time the little lady came to collect the rent, and the name of the little lady was also on the lease deed, he couldn't help but be active, taking advantage of the tea, "Ji Niangzi, how much will this house cost if it is sold?" ”
Ji Rongjin was drinking tea with his head down, and when he heard this, he paused and slowly raised his head, "Master Yao wants to buy a house?" ”
Yao Langzhong's old face was wrinkled like a flower, "Yes, I have been in the capital for two years, I have saved some money, and I want to buy a yard, but there is no suitable one to find it, I wonder if Ji Niangzi's yard is going to be sold?" ”
Ji Rongjin shook his head, "If you don't sell it, please forgive Master Yao." ”
Yao Langzhong said with a smile, "Ji Niangzi is polite, I just asked, it's okay, it's okay to rent." Hurriedly asked the eldest son to give her the next year's rent.
She took the rent and got up, "Don't bother Master Yao, I'll go first." ”
"Boss, send Ji Niangzi."
"Yes, father."
The boss of the Yao family politely sent Ji Rongjin to the gate.
Ji Rongjin quietly paid attention while walking, and found that Yao Langzhong's grandson ran out from next door, his eyebrows moved, and he deliberately walked a few steps slower, and after a while, Yao Langzhong's eldest daughter-in-law chased out of the yard.
She understood, the next door was bought by Yao Langzhong, he wanted to buy it in a row, but she refused, and now he can only rent, will he give up?
After collecting the rent, for Ji Rongjin, there was nothing to do, and she closed the door and nested in the small courtyard to live a small life with a dog and a cat.
Sit in front of the window and watch the snow fall, bask in the sun and read books in the corridor of the rising sun, cook food, cut plum branches, walk dogs, pet cats, day after day, from Chinese New Year's Eve until the fifteenth day of the first month of the following year.
Early in the morning, I ate sesame rice balls, and at noon, I made three dishes and one soup, these three dishes are not made one by one in the pot, but steamed together, one pot, simple and convenient.
In the cold winter, she nests at home, every day to burn the kang, the stove pot of the kang is fully used by her, in the firewood wall, put the iron bar to isolate the fire, and put a square iron box with a door in the center, which is almost the same as a modern steam oven, which can steam and cook several dishes at the same time.
At noon today, I steamed small chops, egg stewed meat foam, cod pieces, rice, yam tube bone broth were also steamed in it, and it was served in a proper pot.
The wooden tray is brought to the small table, and the small chops with the seasoned ingredients are steamed as if they have been boiled in the pot, the color is bright and the taste is fresh, and the mouth is soft and rotten, just two words, delicious; Take a spoonful of egg stew with a spoonful of stewed meat, the egg is smooth and tender, nutritious and delicious; Sandwich another piece of snow-white and fragrant cod snow, well, it is called a tender and sweet aftertaste, which is so delicious.
The wolfberries and green onions on the yam tube bone broth float, red and green, like a beautiful screensaver picture, but unfortunately there is no mobile phone, so I can only eat and drink clean.
Satisfied, leaning on the back, watching the dog and the cat compete for food, cheerful and lively.
"Eat quickly, eat slowly, but no one will wash the dishes for you."
"Woo ......"
"Meow Meow ......"
The dog leaned into her lap and looked at the bones of the master on ......the table after eating the meat.
"Haha......" Ji Rong Jinle was happy, reached out and poured all the bones in the bone plate into the dog plate, it happily lowered its head and gnawed, "The meat is not satisfied." ”
"Meow Meow ......" the kitten also came to beg for it, and she poured the cod soup and the rest of the egg stew into the kitten's bowl, and then he ate it satisfied.
In the small stove room, a person, a dog, and a cat are satisfied with eating.
In ancient times, there were not many entertainment activities that civilians could participate in, most of them were only available in the name of festivals, and the Lantern Festival was the largest festival except for the New Year and the winter solstice.
Of course, Ji Rongjin will not miss this entertainment activity with the participation of the whole people.
No dinner was prepared, and tonight, she was going to have a luxury, eat out and then go home.
The weather was fine, I washed my clothes and dried the quilt in the morning, and at about three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun moved westward, and Ji Rongjin went out after putting away the clothes and quilts.
When I went out to play today, I didn't ride a little donkey, the first one was inconvenient, and the second one was convenient, she was afraid that there would be too many people and would be taken away, so she raised it for two or three years, and she was reluctant.
Dogs and cats are not brought, there are too many people, and it is not suitable to take them.
Osmanthus Alley came out, it was a not big street, at the corner of the street, the thin man and Yinjiao looked at Ji Rongjin who was leaving, and the two muttered in a low voice, "Yingu, the person who covered you really said that you can eat this desperate household?" ”
"As long as your inquiry is correct, it will definitely be fine."
The thin man rolled his eyes twice, "It's definitely no problem." ”
Yinjiao nodded: "You follow, I'll arrange for Qian Dafu to meet people." ”
"Okay."
Tonight, most of Kyoto's streets are lit up, but most of them are hung in accordance with the occasion, and they are not on a scale for people to visit, and only Gosho Street, which is close to the Imperial Castle, is the real street for viewing lights.
The place where I live is a little far away from Yuzheng Street, but there are a lot of people who go to watch the lanterns, there is a taxi carriage for a partner, Ji Rongjin met one, and spent ten Wen to take Yuzheng Street.
At that time, the sky is just dark, the lanterns are lit up one after another, and for a while, it is beautiful and beautiful, just like heaven and earth.
Looking at it while walking, there are lanterns of various shapes, not only that, but there are riddles to guess on the lantern surface, and if you guess correctly, you can get one for free, Ji Rongjin has no confidence in his ancient literary level, and he hardly looks at the lantern riddles.
But even the children can guess it, she can't help it, and every time she passes a lamp, she must step forward to see if she can guess it.
"Little lady, do you want a lantern?"
Suddenly, a greasy middle-aged male speaker was next to Ji Rongjin's ear.
