Chapter 32 Lu County
The cold wind blew, and the village became thin, and the branches beside the house were also exposed.
Lao Xu drove the ox cart to a door, and Song Huan got out of the car and knocked on the door.
Someone from inside soon opened the door, looked at Song Huan first, and asked, "Girl, is this?" ”
As soon as Song Huan was about to speak, Uncle Xu's voice came, "Lao Liu, it's me, Lao Xu!" ”
When Lao Liu heard this, his vigilance dissipated with enthusiasm, "Oops! Lao Xu! How long has it been gone? Hurry up, hurry in! ”
Song Huan helped open the door, and after the ox cart entered the shed, everyone entered the hall.
Song Huan took the hot water and smiled gently at the woman, "Thank you, auntie." ”
The woman pursed her lips and smiled.
The woman was introverted and did not talk much, but only turned the fire up a little more.
Uncle Xu and Uncle Liu were drinking hot tea and chatting about the past.
Song Huan saw that the woman was preparing to cook the evening meal, drank the hot water in her hand and followed her to the kitchen.
As a junior, it's better to go to the kitchen to help light the fire than to sit dry.
The woman waved her hand and refused as soon as she started, and Song Huan sat directly at the stove.
The woman laughed and went on with her work.
The evening dish is a home-cooked dish on weekdays, Song Huan took out the spicy rabbit meat, heated it up, and prepared to give it to everyone.
Lao Xu was full of praise for this dish on the table, Lao Liu tried to take a bite, his eyes raised, "This is okay with wine!" ”
"Wait, I'll go get that jar of wine!" Lao Liu swallowed the saliva that kept coming out.
Lao Liu pulled the wine plug away, and a smell of wine permeated the air.
Lao Liu pointed to the spicy rabbit while pouring the wine, "This dish is good!" This little girl belongs to yours? ”
Lao Xu shook his head, "Where do I have this blessing." ”
Lao Liu smiled and said to Song Huan, "Girl, you pass by in the future to bring this dish to your uncle, and your Uncle Liu's house will let you live!" ”
Song Huan smiled, "How can it, this is not valuable, Uncle Liu and Uncle Xu can just say it whenever they want to eat." ”
Song Huan began to wander after eating.
There are worries, even if you go far away, you still don't feel at ease.
I don't know how my brother is, whether he cried secretly.
Song Huan sighed.
Yueniang walked up to Song Huan and handed over a few peanuts.
Song Huan was stunned for a moment, and took it randomly, "Thank you, auntie." ”
Yueniang pursed her lips and smiled, and then walked away again.
The night wind is bitterly cold.
The outside of the house is quiet and quiet, and the inside of the house is lively and warm.
The night passed quickly.
Song Huan woke up before dawn the next day, first, he was not used to it, and secondly, he was cold.
It wasn't just Song Huan who woke up.
In the yard, Yueniang is carrying a basket, ready to feed the chickens.
She wore a felt scarf around her hair and a coarse cloth, but she did not hide her eyebrows and gentle eyes.
The years have been kind to this woman, and looking at her, everyone will calm down.
Song Huan also knew that Yueniang was mute.
Even so, Uncle Liu did not complain or dislike at all.
The wooden pegs on the wall that fit the height of the aunt.
Last night, Uncle Liu unconsciously gave his aunt a teacup to test the temperature with the back of his hand.
There is also a drying rack in the yard, that height, let alone drying, it's good to be able to raise your hand to hold it.
Settle in the red dust, live in the fireworks, and life blooms lightly.
A touch of affection, a strong love, are all shown in the details of life.
They are the most normal couple in the lights of thousands of homes, and they are also loving partners.
They live an ordinary but happy life, and have a warm haven that belongs to them.
Sometimes Song Huan wonders, why did she come here?
She didn't have any regrets in her previous life, and she didn't need to start over.
At first, she felt that her task was to let Ah Di have a good home, but what about Ah Di after he got married and started a business?
She wanted to enjoy the magnificent mountain views of this dynasty.
Maybe it can be not limited to this, but also look at the ups and downs of life in the world.
Look at the world and observe the warmth and coldness of people. Look at all kinds of colors, and the vicissitudes of life change.
After Song Huan had a goal, the state of the whole person changed instantly, and Lao Xu deeply realized it.
I can't say where it's changed, but I feel like everything has changed.
At three o'clock, Song Huan and Lao Xu entered Lu County.
The streets are lined with teahouses, pubs, pawnshops, workshops and more.
There are also many small vendors in the open fields on both sides of the street.
There are a lot more pedestrians on the street than there are in the town.
Those who walk the streets and alleys to carry burdens, drive ox carts, drive donkeys, and so on.
With the tall castle tower as the center, the houses on both sides are dotted with tea houses, wine shops, foot shops, butcher shops, goods stores and so on.
Lu County is bigger and more lively than the town.
Lao Xu knew the route, so he drove the ox cart directly to the gatehouse in the backyard of the county government.
As soon as Lao Xu said what he meant, the porter went in to report, and it didn't take long for a middle-aged man who was dressed more decently appeared, and he heard the porter call Steward Chen.
Steward Chen has already received orders from above, and now that the goods have been delivered, his heart is also relieved, after all, it is an old lady, if the birthday banquet is on a business trip, they must not suffer as a subordinate.
The prefectural magistrate has always had a reputation for loving the people like children, so it is impossible for such a thing to be in arrears of wages.
After Steward Chen confirmed that Song Huan and the others were from the Taiping Restaurant in Taiping Town, he confirmed that the carbon was indeed different from what he bought on weekdays, but the quality was not good.
The carbon brought over this time was 237 catties, which was calculated at the price of 15 catties in the county, which is 3,555 wen, which is three and a half taels of silver.
Steward Chen took out the money and gave it to Lao Xu, and without saying much, he moved directly into the courtyard.
Lao Xu gave the money to Song Huan.
Song Huan took it in a daze.
His face was full of "I'll take it all?" ".
Lao Xu was amused by Song Huan's expression, "Lao Lu said, the money belongs to you, it is a great luck not to cause trouble this time, and his restaurant can be regarded as being registered in front of Mrs. County Ling, and it is not a loss." If someone comes to buy carbon from him in the future, he will take you a profit. ”
Shopkeeper Lu didn't know that Lao Xu told his joke in a blink of an eye.
When Song Huan heard this, he also smiled, "That's okay, I'm welcome, Uncle Xu, let's go?" Please eat! ”
Lao Xu has also become acquainted with Song Huan in the past two days, everyone is a cheerful person, and he is too polite to see the outside, "Okay!" Get in! I'll show you around. ”
The county seat is very different from the town.
Wontons, pastries, noodles, rice noodles and much more, a wide variety of snacks.
In the end, Lao Xu took Song Huan to the horse meat rice noodle shop and ate a bowl of horse meat rice noodles.
The location of this shop is remote, in the corner of the alley, and it is really difficult to find it if you don't go to find it, but this does not affect the business of the shop.
From ancient times to the present, there has never been a shortage of people with grievances.
The people who come here to eat are all people who satisfy their appetites.
Lao Xu took Song Huan to sit down and directly asked for two bowls of horse meat rice noodles.
Marinated horse meat, cut into thin slices, plus your own pickled capers, sour bamboo shoots and brine made of various marinades, stir-fried peanuts or fried soybeans, dry mix or soup, depending on personal taste.
Depending on personal preference, you can also add chopped green onions, garlic paste, and chili peppers.
Song Huan felt that he had to come to the county seat for the taste of this memory.
This taste is much better than what she ate in her previous life, pure marinade, no additives, sour, hot and spicy, and the familiar taste made her feel like she was back in her previous life for a moment.
Lao Xu looked at Song Huan's devotion to eating, and he was happy, "This is delicious, right?" ”
Song Huan blinked his eyes and scattered a trace of brightness, then he raised his head and tried to swallow the rice noodles in his mouth, "It's delicious!" It tastes amazing! ”
Lao Xu laughed, "I knew it was to your taste!" Eat more if it's delicious! ”
