Chapter 45 The years are colorful
The sun's rays are soft, and as it slowly rises, the light gets brighter and brighter.
The sunshine of broken gold spilled into the courtyard, simple and peaceful.
The old cracks carved on the walls of the colorful years are clearly highlighted by the sunlight.
In the corner of the wall under the cornice, weeds and wildflowers bloomed, and verdant climbing vines climbed the wall, stretching upwards and outwards with all the branches, vines and cold, all over the wall, stubbornly guarding this courtyard.
Song Huan was dressed in a blue pigment skirt, holding a wooden hairpin loosely on his head, and was stretching his waist under the eaves at this time.
The window lattice on the right side was propped open, and Fu Yuanzhi was already sitting under the window reading.
This year is an important moment for him, and after the New Year, Song Huan asked Ah Di to practice calligraphy and study by himself to consolidate the knowledge of the previous two years, and not to disturb Fu Yuanzhi's study again.
Brother is also very obedient, Sister Sister does what she says, even if Fu Yuanzhi says something like "no trouble", he insists on listening to Sister A.
Seeing this, Fu Yuanzhi no longer stopped him, and only asked his brother to ask himself when he encountered something incomprehensible.
In fact, he has not wasted his time in the past two years, and he has a different understanding while teaching his brother.
This process is equivalent to learning it all over again, and it is now more grounded.
Song Huan took out a basket from the kitchen, there were people at home who were reading, and she couldn't be lazy before, but now she has ready-made morning food after two steps, so she is too lazy to do it.
Of course, because I don't have a lot of money, I still have to cook lunch and evening meals, but I'm a little lazy in the morning.
Song Huan hummed a minor tune and walked out of the house and went to Sweetwater Lane.
Sweet Water Lane is a "snack street" in the middle of three streets: Rope Lane, Wooden Comb Lane and Loom Workshop. ”
It is not complete to say that it is a snack street, it is just a temporary stall, and it will only be open at the time and the hour, and it will be gone as soon as this time passes, and it is a temporary breakfast street with stalls.
Sweetwater Lane is not far from Rope Lane, turn left and turn left again when you go out, about a quarter of an hour away.
There are small stalls on the left and right sides of Sweetwater Lane, and the smell of fireworks is blowing in the face.
Song Huan looked at the past one by one, soy milk fritters, tofu flowers, flower rolls, steamed buns, meat buns, and rice noodles and wontons and radish cakes.
There are many kinds and people, and most of them are women.
The hair was all coiled, some of them were interspersed with felt cloth and wore patched cloth clothes, and some of them wore ordinary hairpins and wore neat and unpatched cloth clothes.
Everyone who came carried baskets in their hands, except for those who were eating at the stalls, of course.
Song Huan watched them take out bamboo tubes from the basket to hold soy milk, tofu flowers, and wontons.
Song Huan, "......"
She forgot to bring a bamboo tube!
In the end, Song Huan brought eight steamed buns home.
As Fu Yuanzhi and Ah Di grew older, their appetites naturally followed.
Fu Yuanzhi eats three, Brother and himself eat two, leaving one for Brother and Fu Yuanzhi to use as snacks, and if you don't eat, keep it until noon.
There are pickles dried in the first month of the year at home, which are made of radish leaves, dried first, then washed and chopped and pickled, and can be eaten in ten days and half a month, and can be dried for easy preservation.
If you want to eat it, pour out a bowl, stir-fry it with lard, and then put some chili peppers and garlic, just like that, a bowl of pickled vegetables is delicious to eat with steamed buns.
If you want to eat meat, you can also add some meat foam and fry it slightly to make the oil, so it is more fragrant, and Ah Di and Fu Yuanzhi like to eat this very much.
At the end of the morning, there was a knock on the door in the courtyard.
Song Huan put the broom in his hand at the base of the wall and then stepped forward to open the door, and when he saw the people outside the door, Song Huan shouted in surprise, "Uncle Xu!" ”
Uncle Xu has not changed from the previous two years, he is still the same, I saw him laugh, "Fortunately, I asked Lao Lu's address, otherwise I may not be able to find it." ”
Song Huan smiled, "I wasn't going to borrow a car from you two days ago, but I didn't know that you were out, and I didn't have time to tell you."
I can only leave a message for you in the shopkeeper Lu and Uncle Liu's gang.
Oops, I forgot about it while I was talking, and I said it in the first room. ”
Lao Xu followed into the courtyard, nodded, and praised, "It's very spacious, and the lighting is good." ”
"You can cook your own meals." Lao Xu pointed to the kitchen.
Song Huan nodded, "You still have to cook by yourself, the county has a lot of expenses, and even the steamed buns are more expensive than those in the town." ”
The town is generally two pennies, and when the price rises, the highest is two or three.
The price she bought today is actually one penny, and she can buy a vegetarian bun at the same price in the town!
Therefore, she decided that before the economy was completely free, she still didn't want to be so extravagant, a bundle of firewood was only five cents!
Forget it, this kind of luxury is not suitable for the Song family for the time being.
Affect everyone's mood!
The main thing is your own mood!
The heavens will descend on the Si people!
Song Huan cheered for himself!
Uncle Xu nodded in agreement, "It's true, but it can't be helped, but in terms of taste, the county is indeed a little more delicious than the town." ”
Song Huan can't refute this, it's true.
The steamed buns in the county are white and fat, soft and delicious, and the tight elastic teeth in the town are a little flat, which can only be said that the gap between them is a technical problem.
Moreover, the materials used in the county are not as real as those in the town.
After all, the town is limited by technology.
Very few people go to the county to learn this thing, and in this era, the apprentices of the church starve to death of the master, unless it is a family tradition, it is difficult to make a breakthrough in technology.
Of course, if you are willing to give up food and study it slowly, it depends on whether the individual can be open-minded!
Song Huan poured a cup of tea for Lao Xu.
This tea is still the tea at home before, for three years, she picked two teas every year, and the tea made also has two large cloth bags, which are still left after giving them to the shopkeeper Lu.
The tender tea leaves have a strong and fragrant taste, and you can drink them for a day by putting a little at a time.
The tea leaves are put into the teapot, and after brewing a pot and drinking, they continue to brew the second course, basically in the fourth course The taste of the tea is not heavy, the difference is that it is only a little different from the color of boiled water.
This tea is rarely drunk on weekdays, but now in the bitter summer, not to mention whether the two scholars will be sleepy, anyway, Song Huan began to feel sleepy at noon and afternoon, in order to refresh himself, Song Huan replaced the boiled water he drank before with tea.
Not to mention, it really had some effect, Ah Didu also ran to Song Huan and said that he didn't know why he didn't feel sleepy when he read books.
Song Huan has been boiling tea water since he knew about it, and occasionally he would add a piece of ginger when he got tired of drinking it.
As the saying goes, eat radish in winter and ginger in summer.
It doesn't hurt anyway.
Song Huan sat down, and Uncle Xu also finished looking at the courtyard and asked the question that most elders would ask, "How much money did you spend?" ”
Song Huan quoted the amount.
Uncle Xu sighed, "Renting a house is like that, the price is high, so that's why there are so many slums in the west of the city." ”
Song Huan sighed, "If the imperial court can issue some decrees on renting houses, or if the imperial court intervenes in building and renting houses on its own, and can pull down the price of renting houses, the situation must be very different." ”
As soon as Song Huan's words came out, Uncle Xu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "You girl, it's a pity to be born a woman!" ”
It's not the first time that Uncle Xu has sighed, although Song Huan is out of place for some things, but in terms of force and some ideas for the people, he can also make people marvel, it's a pity!
If she is a man and an official, how can she not be kind to the people according to her ideas?!
