Chapter 189: Making Dried Fruits
The black cat demon's friend calls himself Zong Yan, who looks younger than the black cat demon, wearing a yellow and white robe, a jade belt tied around his long waist, and he walks and talks with the demeanor of a big man.
The sudden visit of a friend made the black cat demon very embarrassed in front of Fu Duoxi, and Zong Yan said hello to Fu Duoxi generously and naturally, "Uncle Cat has always refused to bring me here, probably because he is afraid that I will scare the girl, Miss Duoxi, which way are you a fairy?" The goblins on the cliff mountain say that you are not mortal. ”
Fu Duoxi was about to make dried fruits, and he looked up and smiled at Zonghiko, this is really difficult to answer.
The black cat demon was most afraid of making trouble for Fu Duoxi, and his friend was still going to talk nonsense, so he pulled Zong Yan and said: "You can leave quickly after dinner, forget that lady and start over." I'm not living alone, can't you live without your mother? ”
Zong Yan laughed, leaned over and picked up an apple from the basket, threw it in his hand a few times and took a bite, and nodded approvingly, "My lady can also make fruit snacks, I haven't eaten it for a long time." What are you going to do? The fruit is already very sweet. ”
"Make some dried fruit, you can save it for the winter."
Thinking of drinking tea and eating dried fruits around the stove on a snowy day, I am in a beautiful mood.
"It's ......good to hold it in winter" Zongyan looked at Fu Duoxi cutting the fruit quickly, thought of his lady again, stretched out his fists and said: "Duoxi, please help me find my lady, I feel that you have the breath of my lady." ”
"Zongyan, what nonsense are you talking about! Believe it or not, I'm beating you. ”
"If you want to take advantage of my sister, pass my fox Xiaomeng first."
The little fox demon stared at Zong Yan with his teeth crossed, and the black cat demon had already grabbed Zong Yan's ears and raised his fist high.
Zong Yan smiled bitterly and begged for mercy, "I don't mean anything else...... How dare I take advantage of Duoxi! Black Wind, if you don't believe it, you can smell it, Duoxi really has the breath of my lady. Even if my wife wants to leave me, she has to wait for me to give her a letter of resignation before leaving, so it's nothing to say goodbye! Maybe I'm glad to have met my wife......"
"You two be civilized, listen to him finish talking before you do it." Fu Duoxi asked, "How old is your lady?" When did you leave yours? ”
Zong Yan's wife is seventeen this year, and three years ago, Zong Yan saw the woman on the side of the road to bury her father, and gave her ten taels of silver. The woman had to follow Zong Yan to repay the favor. Zong Yan naturally became close to the woman. A month ago, the woman went out in the morning and never came back.
After listening to Zongyan's words, Fu Duoxi immediately remembered the uproar about the draft girl a while ago, "Where do you live with your wife?" ”
"Stay at home."
"Stupid, my sister is asking which county village you live in!" The little fox demon rolled his eyes.
The black cat demon sighed, his friend was indeed a little stupid, otherwise he would not give up the Elvis fight, and would rather guard a woman to live a mortal life, "You yourself say where to live, you can't understand the words, no wonder the lady ran away." ”
Zong Yan touched his face embarrassedly, "We live in Jinhua County. You know, most of our cat demons live in Jinhua. Black Wind is special, it wants to cultivate immortals, which is different from us. ”
"Jinhua! Blame me for not making it clear, Jinhua is a good place. I also want to go to Jinhua to buy some ham and come back, it's about to be Mid-Autumn Festival......"
Jiangsu and Zhejiang are the main battlefield for the emperor to recruit draft girls, Fu Duoxi has seen the roster of show girls, most of the show girls are from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, of which Hangzhou and Jinhua are the most, and Zuo An was basically active in Jinhua at that time.
But how to tell Zong Yan, if a cat demon knows that his wife was requisitioned by the emperor, the consequences are unimaginable.
The days between the black cat demon and Fu Duoxi were not short, and seeing that Fu Duoxi's expression was still resting, he asked carefully: "Duoxi, you shouldn't have really seen Zongyan's lady, right?" ”
"I shouldn't have seen it, what's her name?"
You can ask Lord Ji to help check this matter, Lord Ji is the concubine of Princess Changji, and it shouldn't be difficult to check the new show girl who has entered the palace.
"Lan'er." Zong Yan compared Lan'er's size and appearance, and it didn't sound outstanding. However, Lan'er's birthday was very frustrating, and she was born on the same day and month as Manniang.
This time, in addition to the good-looking appearance of the emperor's draft girl, it is the same birthday, and Zong Yan's wife must have been arrested to be a show girl and sent to the palace. The show girls were divided into two batches, and the first batch of show girls were directly transported to the capital by the Hangzhou prefect. They were not as lucky as the second batch, and they could enter the palace as they wished.
Fu Duoxi still has an impression of the first batch of show girls, and thinks about it carefully, although they don't all remember their names, but there seems to be a girl who always bows her head and is silent.
Fu Duoxi took a few steamed fruits to the yard, spread them out and dried them, and began to have dinner again.
Zong Yan was disgusted by the little fox demon, and sat alone on the side of the sundeck looking at the dried fruits, occasionally raising his hand to wipe his eyes, and it seemed that he missed his lady again.
What an infatuation!
Fu Duoxi put the crab into the steamer and covered the cauldron, turned his back to the door and took out the paper bird, and just called Master Ji, he heard Ji Yunshen's voice.
"Master Ji, please help me check if a girl named Lan'er has entered the palace this time."
"Okay, I'll tell you right away when I find out. I'm on the mountain behind the palace now, you must not have imagined that the cave where Zuo Quan was found last time leads to the dragon's back. ”
The fire in Ji Yunshen's hand suddenly went out, and he couldn't hit it anymore, and there was a faint sound of wind in his ears. Hurriedly stepped back and turned around, and a black shadow suddenly crossed in front of him.
The black shadow swooped down with a roar, and swooped straight into Ji Yunshen's face. Ji Yunshen quickly stepped back and pulled out the black gold whip, the paper bird snapped and fell to the ground, and at this time he didn't care about it, the black gold whip snapped towards the high-flying black shadow, the black shadow let out a scream, picked up the paper bird on the ground and circled and flew away.
"Master Ji, what's wrong? Are you still there? ”
Fu Duoxi asked a few times, but did not respond. Hearing the black cat demon ask who she was talking to, she hurriedly put away the paper bird.
"I'm worried that it will rain in the past two days, and those fruits will have to be steamed and dried three times before they can be made into dry mouths."
Fu Duoxi casually found an excuse, but he didn't expect the black cat demon to take it seriously, the detective looked at the sky with his neck, and then said with a serious face that it would not rain, unless there were immortals who wanted to rain on the clouds. ”
"There has been enough rain this year, and the lives of the common people are not easy." Fuduoxi sighed, estimating that the time was almost up, and took out the crabs from the pot and the dried fish baked in the oven.
"I let Zongyan leave quickly after dinner, I can't let it live here for nothing. Zong Yan is just as infatuated when he becomes a woman, and he may forget about his mother after a while.
People have followed it for three years, which is equivalent to repaying the favor. Mortals and demons live together and live a long life, if Zong Yan really likes that woman, he should let it go. ”
