"It's uncomfortable to stay in the capital in this weather, so it's okay, why don't you take you to Jiangnan?"

On this day, Lu Xiaowen returned to the house, and saw that the eldest and the two small were lazy, and pondered and said this.

Three pairs of eyes looked at him together, and Lu Xiaowen couldn't help laughing: "A garden given by the sage happens to be over there, and I haven't had time to see it yet, so I just took you to live with me for a while." ”

This year, I have more time to detain them from going out, just to relax and escape the heat by the way.

"Okay, okay," He Shaoguang said with a smile, feeling that someone was pulling the hem of his clothes, he looked down and found that it was Lu Mingyan, and instantly understood, "What about Brother Yan'er's homework?" ”

Lu Xiaowen rubbed his son's head, felt that it felt very good, and rubbed it a few more times, until he rubbed Lu Mingyan's hair and didn't stop: "I can still teach schoolwork at this age, and I can also let him feel what a study tour is in advance." ”

"Then I'll make a list tomorrow and count all the things I will bring." He Shaoguang was so happy that he couldn't wait to fly to the edge of the West Lake immediately.

"Mother, Mother! With mangosteen. Lu Mingzhen's eyes were shining.

"Then you are responsible for taking care of Mangosteen on the road, so as not to let her run away or be scared, okay?" I went for two months, I didn't take her with me, left a cat in the yard to keep the empty house alone, and I had to hold a grudge when I came back.

"Hmm!" Lu Mingzhen nodded vigorously and patted his little chest.

The memories of Jiangnan in later generations overlapped with the scenes in front of them.

Suzhou's water town style, after thousands of years, has not changed much.

People on both sides of the river, when they go out to the river, often see a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl or the eldest daughter-in-law of someone's family picking up a wooden basin and clothes, squatting at the door of the house to wash, wring it out and hanging it under the window.

Seven beaver mountain pond, also known as seven miles of mountain pond, one mile and one bridge and one raccoon, seven bluestone civet cat statues on this street: the Meiren civet of Shantang Bridge, the Tonggui civet of Tonggui Bridge, the Wenxing civet of Xingqiao, the Caiyun civet of Caiyun Bridge, the white civet of Puji Bridge, the Haiyong civet of Wangshan Bridge, and the beaver of Xishan Temple Bridge.

It symbolizes elegance, wealth, knowledge, health, opportunity, and more.

"These tanuki statues are said to have been carved by the first emperor when he slashed the tiger hill with a sword, and when the descendants dug the mountain pond river, they suppressed the murderous spirit in the sword.

Touch the head of the tanuki, and the year will be good. ”

He Shaoguang said this to them, and he took the lead and touched Mei Rencion's head.

"There's a manned boatman there, shall we rent a boat?"

The sharp-eyed He Shaoguang saw many canopy boats supporting the river bank, and he was in a mood.

"Let's go." It's also good to come out for a break and experience the people's interest.

"The two ministers, the lady, the old man's boat is used for fishing, it may be a little fishy, I don't know how many people can stand it?"

They picked the boat of an old boatman with gray hair, because it was spacious and clean.

Because the other party has been holding a bamboo pole on the water all the year round to make a living, his back is arched, and he reminds them with a smile.

"It's all right, old man." He Shaoguang smiled, "It just so happens that you have any fresh river fresh here?" Can I cook fish on board? ”

Many boatmen solve the problem of meals directly in the boat, so there will be no shortage of cooking pot seasonings on the boat.

There are also boatmen who will go to camp, and find that many customers like to cook and catch fish on the boat, so they will also prepare dishes and chopsticks for guests.

"Yes, yes." The boatman said enthusiastically, "The lady is a foreigner? The two of you can eat, the old man has been begging for a life on the water for so many years, how many gourmets are hungry for this fresh mouthful. ”

He Shaoguang smiled, walked to the cabin, and sat down with a few of them around the fireplace.

There is hot water boiling on the stove, you can make tea and eat, or you can set up a kettle on the stove, pour water into it, and catch a fish on the spot and stew it.

On the shelf next to it are some of the boatman's personal belongings.

"Let's put up the window so that we can see the scenery outside."

The smell on the surface of the water is not particularly good, and there is a smell of aquatic plants.

But I have to say that the ecology is really good, green water and white geese, small bridges and flowing water.

In particular, there is an additional performance of the boatman, he slapped with the oar, and he hit a big fish weighing almost three catties, which made He Shaoguang smack his tongue, and those who fished by the lake all night were going to cry to death by the river.

After a brief handling on the board, he brought it in, and along with the delivery of a net of small shrimp jumping around.

"Thank you, we just have to watch the fire ourselves."

Lu Xiaowen helped drive the kettle, and the boatman added a little salt and rice wine to it, and there was no need to put anything else, just to experience an original taste.

When he felt that the time was almost up, He Shaoguang lifted the lid, and a smell of fish came to his nose.

"Wow~" Lu Mingzhen pulled it on the table, glanced at it, and couldn't wait to hold his small bowl.

Perhaps this experience was too novel, Lu Mingyan couldn't help but lean forward slightly, looking forward to it.

"It smells so good."

Pick up the white and tender fish meat with a pair of chopsticks, and with a little force on the chopsticks, you can see the texture of the fish petals between the petals.

This kind of fish has few bones and fresh meat, especially the fish in the pot is still alive in the water one moment, and the next moment it is in the kettle to be cooked, enjoying the ultimate freshness.

"It's still too luxurious to eat like this, and it would be nice if you could eat it so fresh in real time in the house." He Shaoguang smiled and gossiped with them.

"We can also raise fish in the pond, Mother."

"Just the one in our house?" He Shaoguang sneered, "Have you seen the koi fish in there on weekdays?" ”

Lu Mingzhen nodded, of course, the only pond in the house is full of koi fish, and they all look like balls.

"Those carp are like pigs, and they don't take three days to eat up the fry in them."

Lu Mingzhen was stunned: "Do they even eat their own kind?" ”

"Of course." He Shaoguang wanted to say that there were still some fish that were specially raised under the dry toilet, so he couldn't bear to eat them.

But when Lu Xiaowen saw her expression of wanting to speak and stopped, he understood in seconds, and instantly felt that the fish in the bowl was not fragrant.

"We're all in Suzhou these days, and we're going to visit a Shibo." Lu Xiaowen arranged the next itinerary, "Let's take out the prepared gifts later, do you have an old friend to visit?" ”

He Shaoguang thought about it and felt that he shouldn't have anyone to see, so he shook his head and asked him, "Which uncle is it?" Shall we also go with you? ”

"No, it's just the father of a friend of mine, I'll just take Ming Yan with me. If you want to go, you can also go together, but others are a little old-fashioned and may be more nagging. ”

Lu Xiaowen also has a headache for the nagging elders, thinking that he will take Brother Yan to visit and solve it quickly.

If you drag your family to the door, people will have to leave you to finish the meal, right?
