Chapter 373: Is It Urging Marriage?
Lu Siye stood up with the table, but did not enter the room, but walked slowly to the cabinet, opened the cabinet door, and took out a bottle of aged medicinal wine in Chen Fan's strange gaze.
He closed the cabinet door, walked back slowly, put the slippery wine bottle on the table, stretched out his finger, and said with a smile, "Look, 20-year-old medicinal wine, have you ever drunk it?!" ”
This medicinal wine has been soaked in black color, and there is only half a bottle left, obviously Lu Siye is also drinking it.
Spirits of 50 degrees or higher must be used to brew medicinal liquor, and the herbs used are also very particular, so it is necessary to consider the length of time it has been brewed. Some medicines are not suitable for long-term soaking, and they should be drunk in a few months at most, otherwise they will be bad and there will be problems after drinking.
And some medicines, such as ginseng, tiger bones, and deer antler velvet, do not have to worry about the restriction of the year at all, and are really big medicines.
As long as the bottle mouth is sealed well and stored properly in a dark place, not to mention 20 years, it will be no problem for thirty or fifty years, but the medicinal effect is stronger.
Lu Siye also understands medicine, and this bottle of wine is obviously not ordinary.
Chen Fan looked at the wine bottle with a blank gaze, and then looked at him, "You saved it?" ”
"Not really."
Lu Siye sat down on the table, and said with a smile, "I didn't save much, two days ago, I saw that the weather was getting cooler at night, so I got a bottle out, 'Spring nourishes and summer, autumn makes up for winter and hides', this tonic is best, it's best in autumn."
This medicinal wine is also a great tonic, and it is accompanied by the pickles you brought me,...... Eh, speaking of this pickle, it is crisp and refreshing, salty and suitable, and I have never eaten such a delicious side dish in my life. But I can't figure out the taste of what you made myself, so you'll have to get me some more. ”
The corners of Chen Fan's eyes twitched slightly.
I think about your family's treasures, and you think about my little craft, can you still pursue a little?
Then he said, "It's simple, just bring you an altar tomorrow." ”
Lu Siye smacked his lips and said, "I have all the materials here, why don't you do it here?" ”
Chen Fan's face was speechless, "You don't want me to make a side dish, you want to even have chili sauce together." ”
Lu Siye laughed and said, "Who made you make a taste that is really not ordinary, and it's also good to get more chili sauce to cook." ”
Chen Fan nodded helplessly, "Now in this village, you can let me do this kind of work, Secretary Yang and they only invite me to cook when they come to the distinguished guests, and they don't need me to prepare the dishes." Even the pickles in my own house, which I instructed the little gingers to make, I didn't bother to stretch out my hand. ”
Lu Siye immediately reacted, "So, can that side dish taste better?" ”
Chen Fan pursed his lips, "Your old focus is indeed different. ”
After a few jokes, he stood up and rolled up his sleeves, looked at the medicinal wine on the table, and said with a smile, "I'll go to your vegetable garden to pick peppers now, but I have something to ask you." ”
Fourth Master Lu lifted Erlang's legs, pointed to the medicinal wine, and asked triumphantly, "Want to ask me, where did this come from?" ”
Chen Fan's eyes lit up suddenly, "Your house is so big, I've been here so many times, I haven't found a place where you hide things, but there is no trace of digging a pit on the ground, and it is even more impossible to hide it in the cracks of the wall. Is it hiding outside? ”
He raised his head and put his hand on his chin in a Conan pose, "Could it be that you dug a cellar in the vegetable patch?" ”
It's really possible to say that, the vegetable field, you have to turn over the soil often, and digging around is not conspicuous, is it really there?
Fourth Master Lu grinned, he took out some fresh things for Chen Fan from time to time, he knew that he couldn't hide it from this kid, and then he didn't think about hiding it from him, otherwise he wouldn't have taken so many things out.
It's just that he didn't expect him to ask himself directly, which is interesting. It shows that this kid is frank and swaying in his heart, thinking about his own things on the surface, but in fact, he doesn't take it seriously at all, but is interested in his ability to hide things.
Otherwise, if he was vigilant in his heart, he would not have been able to find it.
Lu Siye took a sip of the teapot slowly, and said with a smile, "Boy, how about we make a bet." ”
Chen Fan's eyes immediately lit up, "How to bet?" ”
Lu Siye crossed Erlang's legs and looked at him with a smile on his face, "Didn't you guess the vegetable field, then you can find it yourself, anyway, whether it's inside or outside the house, everything you find belongs to you, how about it?!" ”
Chen Fan clapped his hands and said pretending to be ashamed, "Look at you, it's not easy for you to save something, how can I be embarrassed to ask for it." ”
Lu Siye's face changed, and he looked at him with a smile, "You're welcome, my old man is a half-cut person, and he has no relatives or reasons, so he can barely be regarded as half an apprentice, and these things can't be taken away, if they are gone one day, they will be gone, and it will be gone, so it is better to play a game with you, which is a pastime." ”
Chen Fan blinked, bent down and whispered, "Why don't you just have an apprenticeship ceremony, you will be my master in the future, and I will provide for you in old age?" ”
Lu Siye was slightly stunned, and glanced at Chen Fan deeply, seemingly quite moved.
But in the blink of an eye, he sighed secretly in his heart, waved his hand and said, "Forget about apprenticeship, it's enough for our two masters to have this fate, it's too much." ”
He turned his head to look out of the door, his mood was quite low, and he said faintly, "This world is getting better day by day, but there are unforeseen circumstances, who knows when the wind will start to blow again, and now it's good,......"
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Chen Fan, his smile was full of relief, "When no one is there, you can come over and have a look when you are free, and accompany me to have a meal and chat for a while, it is enough." In front of outsiders, you still have to pay attention, don't talk about me when you do things and talk, it's good for you and me. ”
Chen Fan pursed his lips and nodded slightly, then grinned, looked at Fourth Master Lu and asked, "Fourth Master, you can hide so well, I'm afraid there are other apprentices besides me, right?" I tell you, if you give your treasure to someone else, don't blame me for adding more salt to the dish! ”
Fourth Master Lu suddenly laughed angrily, "Get out." ”
Chen Fan hurriedly walked out, "Okay." ”
When it's over, I don't forget to look back and say hello, "I'll pick chili peppers first, and I'll go to your neighborhood to hunt for treasures when I'm free, this bet isn't just today, right?" ”
Fourth Master Lu rolled his eyes, "It will always work." ”
"Okay."
Chen Fan rubbed his hands together and ran happily to the backyard.
When he walked away, Lu Siye couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
Chen Fan picked a basket under the eaves and ran to the vegetable garden behind him.
This small vegetable garden, only about 50 square meters, may be the smallest in Lujiawan, surrounded by a fence made of bamboo, mainly to prevent chickens, ducks and geese from entering to eat.
Chen Fan opened the door of the bamboo vegetable garden and entered, almost half of it was planted with chili peppers, which is also the norm in many members' vegetable gardens.
After all, chili pepper is the main ingredient for making pickles, and it can also be used as a vegetable, so the consumption is naturally the largest.
In addition, broad beans and soybeans can also be used to make sauce.
Broad beans are ripe in late spring and early summer, and soybeans are a little later, and they can be harvested after double grabbing, and sometimes they overlap with the double grabbing time, and then they have to divide people to harvest soybeans, which is more tiring.
Fortunately, there are not many soybean plants in Lujiawan, so the burden will not be too heavy.
There are no broad beans or soybeans in this garden, so Chen Fan concentrates on picking chili peppers.
Without waiting for the basket to fill the basket with chili peppers, Chen Fan suddenly stopped and looked down at a small piece of soil in a daze.
After a few seconds, he raised his head to look at Lu Siye's thatched house, and couldn't help muttering, "This old man, if you want to send something, you can send it directly, and you also play games, you are really old-hearted." ”
Then he looked left and right, and found a yellow bamboo stick not far away, so he went to get it and excavated the piece of soil that was not much different from the surroundings.
As a result, less than 20 centimeters of bamboo was inserted, and it poked into a hard object.
This is a vegetable patch, I don't know how many times I have turned it over, how can there be hard things?
Chen Fan's face was full of smiles, Lu Siye was afraid that he wouldn't find it!
Continuing to excavate, sure enough, only a layer of soil was dug on the surface, and a clay pot was seen lying down.
The jar is about 30 centimeters thick and about the same height, and if it is not for the bottom and mouth of the can, it looks like a small round ball.
Chen Fan was suddenly shocked, excavated around the clay pot, and dug out the clay pot after a while.
Uncover the oiled paper tightly wrapped around the mouth of the can, and then pull out the camphor wood stopper, and inside the jar are several small objects wrapped tightly in oiled paper.
The moisture prevention work is quite good.
Chen Fan smiled, but did not immediately reveal the mystery.
He filled the pit back and continued picking the peppers until the basket was full before going out with the jar.
Back in the front yard, before Chen Fan entered the door, he deliberately grinned and laughed, "Fourth master, look, what is this!" ”
Lu Siye looked at him, and then at the jar in his hand, and was suddenly shocked, and stood up on the ground, "Oh, you really found it?" ”
Chen Fan's eyelids jumped when he saw it.
You are returning to acting, can you take it easy, there are more than 70 people, and there are leg injuries, in case this flashes to the waist, I don't want to take the urinal.
He put the pepper basket outside the door, carried the clay pot into the house, and handed it to the fourth master who ran over, "What's the matter, I can't bear it, I haven't seen anything good in it, but looking at you like this, you should be able to make a lot of money." ”
Fourth Master Lu ran over, but he didn't pick it up, but said with a distressed face, "The gentleman is hard to chase after him, and if you find it, it's yours." ”
After a pause, his face changed suddenly, and he walked back with his hands behind his back, "I can't see it." ”
Chen Fan smiled and walked to the table and sat down, put the clay pot on the ground, and slowly pulled things out from the inside.
First took out a rectangular package, while unpacking the oil paper bag, while saying, "Don't feel distressed, this good thing, you have to take it out to bask in the sun, have been buried in the soil, and in a few decades, it will really become an antique, and it will only be able to see, no use at all, in fact, it is not interesting."
Let me see what it is......"
After the oiled paper bag was opened, there was a small brocade box inside, and when he opened the brocade box, Chen Fan couldn't help but be stunned, and turned his head to look at Lu Siye, "A pair of pocket watches?" ”
The box is split in two from the middle, with a pocket watch inlaid on each side. Although I don't know how many years have passed, the case still shimmers a little luster, and the color should be made of 14K gold, which is very bright and bright.
I took out a watch and looked at it, and there were only a few simple floral patterns outlined on the back and case, which looked inconspicuous at all.
I pressed it lightly, and I only heard a crisp sound of jingling, and the case immediately popped up, which was very pleasant to the ear.
The inside of the case is engraved with a Cupid archery pattern, the dial is surrounded by a circle of auspicious patterns, the sapphire crystal is crystal clear, the dial is marked with diamonds of different sizes for hours and minutes, and there is a small stopwatch underneath, which looks simple and elegant.
In addition, there is a gold bracelet, which is matched together, and when the lid is closed, it is elegant and elegant, and when the lid is opened, it is delicate and luxurious.
If you look at another watch, it's almost identical, except that it's a little smaller, and the cupid inside the case is holding a harp, so there's a slight difference.
Chen Fan finally glanced at the brand logo, oh, Patek Philippe and Cartier co-branded, okay.
(36 years co-branded pocket watch)
Then put the two watches back in the box and prepare to continue unpacking.
Fourth Master Lu finally turned his face, looked at the two pocket watches in the box and said, "Oh, it turned out to be this." ”
He exhaled a long breath, turned his head to sit upright, and said softly, "I bought this back in Shanghai back then, and when I bought it, it was a couple, ready to be a wedding gift for my nephew, but unfortunately they left in a hurry and didn't have time to send it out." ”
He turned his face again and smiled, "If you can dig this jar, that's fate, just when you are old enough to get married, these two pocket watches will be given to you, one for yourself, and you have to quickly find an owner for the other one." ”
Chen Fan grimaced, is this urging marriage?
I was only 16 years old and was forced to marry?
Honestly, did it mean it?
Chen Fan took a deep breath and said angrily, "What did you give me, this is what I won, you don't know, I dug for a long time just now, and I almost didn't get tired." ”
Muttered as he pulled out the next package from the jar.
As soon as he opened the oil paper bag, Lu Siye stopped acting, glanced at it and said, "Oh, this is also the wedding gift I plan to give to my nephew, two gold pens ordered in the China Pen Factory, but unfortunately they were not given away, you take one, and quickly find a master for the other." ”
(Chinese gold pen, the crown of domestic products)
Chen Fan opened it with a dark face, and there were indeed two black pens inside.
He snapped the lid shut, turned his face and said, "Fourth master, can't the things in the jar be a pair, right?" ”
Lu Siye gasped and held his head high in thought.
After a few seconds, he frowned and said, "It's been too long to remember, so you might as well open it yourself." ”
The corners of Chen Fan's mouth twitched slightly, put a pair of pocket watches and a pair of pens to the side, and took out the remaining three packages inside.
All opened, and there were three small brocade boxes.
As expected, one was a ring box, which contained a pair of diamond rings that were full of weight; One is a pair of dragons and phoenixes, and the last one is finally not a man and a woman.
But it is a pair of imperial green jade jade bracelets.
There is a conclusion, if it weren't for urging marriage, Chen Fan would dare to eat these things!
Looking at Chen Fan's depressed face, Lu Siye coughed dryly, and said, "When the war broke out, the Lu family went their separate ways, and because they were in a hurry, they forgot to give these things to my nephew, and when they were put away, they were naturally put together, which is understandable!" ”
Chen Fan nodded slowly, put the 5 boxes into his backpack one by one, stuffed all the oil paper into the clay pot, put the clay pot against the wall, and kept it for Lu Siye to use next time.
Then he turned his head and asked, "How old was your nephew?" ”
Lu Siye clenched his right hand into a fist and smashed it into the palm of his left hand, and said hatefully, "Speaking of this, I am angry, my two elder brothers gave birth to 5 daughters in a row, and finally gave birth to a son, but they were only 4 or 5 years old, and they were going to follow them around, you said that you can't hate." ”
Chen Fan blinked, "So you bought your nephew a wedding gift when he was 4 years old?" ”
Fourth Master Lu looked at him and smiled, "That's not." ”
Then stick out 3 fingers, "3 years old." ”
Chen Fan took a deep breath and squeezed a smile on his face.
He finally understood why he was urged to marry.
In contrast, I am almost 17 years old, and it is time to urge!
Chen Fan felt a little tired, so he decisively ran to see the braised rabbit meat simmering on the stove, and used dried chili peppers and peppercorns to heat oil to adjust a little sauce, picked out the rabbit head, poured the freshly mixed chili oil, and made a spicy rabbit head.
Then it was eaten.
I have to say that Lu Siye's medicinal wine is really exciting.
After only taking a small sip, I felt that the blood and qi in my whole body were floating, especially for people like Chen Fan, who practiced martial arts, and the reaction was even more obvious.
So he even forgot to eat rabbit meat, drank the wine in small sips, took a small sip, and breathed according to Lin Yuanxiang's revised version of the big toad, and used the revised version of the tiger and leopard thunder sound to stir the internal organs, ...... several secret techniques or cooperated, or rotated, and drank the wine one by one.
After a while, most of the rabbit entered Lu Siye's mouth, and the bottle of medicinal wine was also drunk by Chen Fan.
Lu Siye looked at the empty wine bottle, and his eyes were much more distressed than looking at the clay pot.
At first, he saw that Chen Fan was red, and he wanted to remind him, but it didn't take long for the red color to gradually subside, and Chen Fan returned to normal, so he didn't say anything.
I still silently comforted myself in my heart, it's okay, it's okay, there's still wine, don't worry.
When Chen Fan picked up the empty bottle, he came back to his senses, turned the bottle upside down and shook it down, but there were only two drops!
He immediately smiled at Fourth Master Lu and said, "Fourth Master, is there anything else?" ”
Lu Siye immediately shook his head, "It's gone, it's the last bottle, and it's gone when you're done." ”
Chen Fan's eyes were full of suspicion, "Really? ”
Lu Siye's eyes widened, pointed to his backpack and said, "I'm not stingy with those things, can I still be reluctant to drink a little wine?!" ”
After gasping twice, he said bitterly, "Young people must know how to control themselves, I drank a small glass just now, less than 1 tael, and if you drink 6 or 7 taels, this wine is so strong that you can't drink it anymore." ”
Chen Fan's eyes lit up suddenly, "So there's still one?" ”
When Lu Siye heard this, he was so angry that he stood up and drove people away, "Let's go, I haven't said anything, hurry up after eating, don't bother me." ”
