Chapter 193: Coincidentally, I also live on Chongxi Street
"Brother, eat the cake. Sister Fuya gave it, it's delicious! An An gave the scallion pancakes to his brother and cousin.
Zhou Junhan pinched the soft flesh on his stupid brother's cheeks and said, "Let me see how thick your skin is." Yesterday I went to ask for other people's sweet potatoes, and today I took other people's scallion pancakes, are you addicted to eating and drinking? ”
"The sweet potatoes are delicious, and the cakes are delicious!" An An smacked her lips. If it weren't for the uncomfortable bloating belly, he would have wanted to eat a few more bites!
Zhou Junhan cut the cake brought back by his younger brother into four pieces, one for himself and one for his cousin, and the remaining two pieces were sent to his mother - no one knows his mother better than him, on the surface she is a graceful and elegant lady, but in fact she is a foodie.
The scallion pancake is deceptively simple, but it is unexpectedly delicious. The outside is charred and crispy, the inside is soft and tender, and it tastes like a green onion. Even the prefect's wife praised Mrs. Wu's good craftsmanship.
After breakfast, the two groups set off one after the other. In front of the procession, a group of men and women in coarse linen clothes, surrounded by two carriages, moved forward unhurriedly. The convoy behind, with tall horses, is in the middle of the noble carriage in the low-key, and the maids and women in the back have carriages to sit on, not to mention that there are two carriages and horses dedicated to transporting materials behind.
The two teams that don't seem to be in harmony are surprisingly harmonious. The team behind, although they were all riding horses, did not rush the way, followed behind the team in front of them, and drove slowly.
At noon, less than twenty miles away from Fucheng, the two teams stopped in unison and began to bury the pot and cook. As soon as the carriage came to a stop, three children of about the same size ran out of the two teams, holding hands and jumping happily. It didn't take long for the three little ones to start playing.
The game is very novel, the children are innocent and lively, and the laughter resounded in the sky, attracting passers-by to can't help but take a few more looks.
In order to save time, Wu Pozi made stewed rice with eggplant, potatoes and bacon. The stewed rice looks simple, but it exudes a strong fragrance, and the delicate side dishes made by the chef next to it are not so attractive.
Mrs. Wu shoveled a piece of pot for Fu Ya, which was also stained with bacon and potato soup, and Fu Ya chewed it and ate it fragrantly. Mrs. Wu shook her head with a smile and said, "The pot is so delicious?" Don't be afraid to wear out your little teeth! ”
"Milk, I'm not old enough to change my teeth, don't be afraid! The more you chew the pot, the more fragrant it becomes, you taste it. Fu Ya brought a piece of pot to Mrs. Wu's mouth.
Mrs. Wu waved her hand and rejected her kindness: "My grandmother is too old to eat this hard thing." If you like, eat more. After eating, drink some soup and be careful of accumulating food! ”
An An had fun with her friends, and she was reluctant to go back until dinner. At noon, the little guy had dinner at Song's house again, and when he set off on the road in the afternoon, he didn't go back to his own carriage, and Xiao Shi and Guoguo were crowded in the simple carriage of the Song family, lying on the mattress and playing tangram!
Tangrams are made of thin pieces of wood, painted in a variety of colors, and the three children have a lot of fun putting them together in various patterns.
In the evening, they finally arrived at Fucheng. Entering and exiting the city also needs to verify their identities, Song Ergui and Zhao Changsheng took out their house deeds and waited in line for verification. The guards of the prefect's house walked over and took out their identity tokens, and the officers and soldiers guarding the door immediately let them go. The guard pointed to the ranks of the Song and Zhao families, and whispered a few words in the ears of the officers and soldiers guarding the gate, and the deed of the two families was allowed to go before they could be shown to the city guard.
Song Ergui walked on the streets of Fucheng, looked down at the deed in his hand, and then looked back at the city gate that was gradually moving away, and said, "This is to let us in?" I thought it would take a lot of talking! ”
Zhao Changsheng said: "It must be that family who spoke for us in front of the city guards." ”
"Brother Zhao, what did you say about the origin of that family, but let the city guard not ask, and let us go. Does this count as an abuse of power for personal gain? Song Ergui lowered his voice and said.
Zhao Changsheng glanced at him and walked away. Song Ergui touched the back of his head and said to himself, "What's wrong?" Am I saying the wrong thing? Brother Zhao, wait for me...... It's my first time in Fucheng, don't leave me behind! ”
Not long after entering the city, the prefect's carriage stopped, and the beautiful woman got down from it and said to Mrs. Wu: "It's rare to have the fate to go all the way, and invite the old lady to sit in our house another day." By the way, have you arranged your stay tonight? ”
Mrs. Wu said with a smile: "Thanks to Mrs. Affordability, it is a blessing for the old woman!" Our house is not far from Fuxue, on Chongxi Street......"
"Chongxi Street? As it happens, we also live on that street. The prefect's wife showed a little surprise in her beautiful eyes. Most of the people who live on Chongxi Street are either rich or expensive, and most of them know her. Why didn't she know when there would be such a family?
Mrs. Wu's face was full of surprise, and she said continuously: "That's really a coincidence, it's a great fate!" As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, if Mrs. is free, take An An to visit the door. ”
The prefect's wife smiled and said, "Definitely, definitely!" It's not too early, we'll see you later. ”
"There is a period, there is a period!" Mrs. Wu waved her hand at her, and watched her get into the carriage and go farther and farther. She turned her head to Fu Ya and said, "This lady is really a kind person, she doesn't take a shelf, and she doesn't watch people through the cracks in the door." What a rare good person! ”
There are obviously a lot more people on the street than last time. Think about it, the students who are stranded in Fucheng due to the postponement of the exam, the refugees who come to join their relatives and friends, plus some newly resettled immigrants, the population will not go up!
The Song and Jiang families walked towards Chongxi Street in a mighty manner. The pedestrians on the street, and the people in the shops on both sides, all cast curious glances.
"Doesn't that mean that the city no longer accepts people who have migrated? How did these people get in? ”
"The security in the city has not been very good recently, and there are many more petty thefts than before, just because there are more outsiders from these small places!"
"Not really! Those immigrants who moved over, who did not have a way to make a living, went to steal and rob. If you want me to say, the city should not take these people in, and settle them in the villages below, and open up some wasteland at least without starvation! ”
"These people don't know where they come from, but looking at the two who are in the lead, they have weapons in their hands and wounds on their bodies, and they are not good people at first glance. In the future, it will be us ordinary people who will be in trouble! ”
"I have a serious suspicion that these people didn't come in through serious means. Go and report to the police and get these people out! ”
"Yes, yes! Get out!! These outsiders will never be allowed to bring disaster to our city! ”
