Chapter 5 The small stomach of the gentle people is not small
As the saying goes, the golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as their own kennel, not to mention that it is still a jade kennel.
When I got home this time, I felt really comfortable, and Li Bing lay on the bed in the bed for half an hour before getting up.
The handsome maid and the boy came in with a basin of water, a hairpin, a hairpin, a jade pendant, and an inner and outer robe, and waited for the master to change his clothes. Not to mention, I did it myself for half a year, and suddenly it became someone to serve me, and I was a little unaccustomed to it
I went to the rag cloth towel and changed to mutton fat white hosta, and the bun was also neat and beautiful.
A dark purple half-sleeved robe, with a faint ripple on the satin surface, and a silk thread of similar color, hidden embroidered with pine, and embroidery patterns are not visible near the body.
The clothes are luxurious and elegant, and the accessories are also hearty, especially the waist jade pendant, which is the "Pisces Hanshan Jade Pendant" given by Wei Ze at Li Bing's sixteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, which Li Bing often carries. This outfit is much better than what you pack yourself. Looking in front of the bronze mirror, he finally has a little bit of the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix among people.
As soon as he went out, he saw Anzi sitting on the stone steps in front of the door waiting for him.
"On such a cold day, you are not afraid of freezing your stomach!"
When Anzi saw him come out, he hurriedly got up, anxious, "Brother Bing'er, you finally got up......
Anzi's outfit is not bad, because she was not prepared, she could only find a dress from Li Bing two years ago, but fortunately, it will also fit. Xiao Pu head, three blue blue water long sky robes, black background square white jade ribbon, even boots have silver thread embroidery. The jade on his waist is the "Nine-Ring Dragon and Phoenix Pendant" given to Anzi by Wei Ze.
This jade pendant is too expensive and ostentatious, and he originally didn't want to bring it. However, the boy who helped him dress said, "Gentleman Peiyu, this is the rule of the house." I had no choice but to put it on for the time being.
"Yo!" Li Bing circled around Anzi: "You kid can! If you don't clean up, you can't see it, this change of outfit is simply graceful, and Yushu is ...... in the wind" After speaking, he let out a series of charming smiles and lightly bumped his shoulder: "The sister of the Song family saw you dressed like this, and you still can't chase you around?"
"Don't make fun of me, as soon as I woke up in the morning, two girls came into my room to freshen up and dress me...... I'm scared to death!" Anko looked uncomfortable.
"Hahahaha!" Li Bing treats Anzi as his own brother, and when Aunt Cai orders his subordinates, even if he does not follow the rules of the prince's disciples, he also follows the concubine's coming, and the people who serve him must be indispensable.
Because he didn't prepare in advance, Anzi could only live in the guest compartment temporarily, and after two days, he would have to pack up a main house in Li Bing's courtyard.
"How's it going, are they doing well?"
"How dare I? I grew so big, I haven't let the girl dress me yet. I hurriedly let them out, and I wore it myself. ”
As soon as An Zi finished speaking, Li Bing reached out and pulled his collar and straightened it out: "No wonder, I just said why this collar is half turned outside...... After speaking, he straightened the cuffs of Anzi's belt again, and suddenly reacted: "Eh, didn't you make an appointment with the Song family girl today? Why are you still here?"
"yes, didn't I want to wait for you to get up and say hello before leaving? Anzi's heart was like a cat scratching: "As a result, Brother Bing'er, you can sleep too well today......"
"Hahahaha, blame me, blame me!" Li Bing saw that he was anxious, and said in his heart that this young man's admiration was really funny.
"Go ahead. Otherwise, some people will have to wait in a hurry!"
Anzi waved his hand, slipped out of the house, and trotted all the way.
In winter, the days are short and the nights are long, although the sky in Chang'an is not yet bright, but the main street is full of cars and horses, and the river is endless. The liveliness of Chang'an West City is far from being comparable to ordinary towns.
The Song family was originally called "Hanlian Hall" at the entrance of Huifu Hall, and the blacksmith shop they bought in the West Market was not in a good location, and Anzi took a lot of effort to find it.
A small door-faced shop, the gold-lettered signboard of "Hui Hanlian Hall" is newly replaced at a glance. The furnishings in the house are a little old, five or six weapon shelves, and there are more than 30 weapons, ranging from small finger tigers and daggers to large Zen sticks and broadswords, which are very complete.
As soon as Anzi entered the door, before he asked about the housekeeper's work, an acquaintance of the dart master happened to be there, recognized Anzi, and led him to the backyard.
The door of the shop is not big, but this backyard is really unique, neatly planned, with four craftsmen in the middle, each equipped with bellows, a furnace, an iron sand embryo, and a large water tank. The forging facilities are not much different from those of the Meridian Sect, they are all available, and they are all made of high-quality materials, so it can be seen that it is an old shop.
On each side of the courtyard was a weapon rack, on which were placed seven or eight weapons, all of which were newly made and had not yet been bladed. In the corner of the courtyard, there is a shed, in which a lot of coarse ore is piled up, of different sizes. Next to the rough ore, there is a refined iron frame, on which are refined ingots, which can be used directly.
After the dart master led Anzi in, he said that Song Bailiu had already gone to Yongda Hall to talk about things, and Song Rourou had just gotten up, so he went to call and asked him to wait in the courtyard for a while.
It was still early, and there was no one else in the yard, so an old man came out of the room, and when he saw that there were others in the yard, he first glared at Anzi, and then went straight to a craftsman's platform, lit the stove, and pulled the bellows.
The old man was a one-eyed man, with a black skin blindfold on his eyes, and his face was expressionless, and he did not greet Anzi, but was busy with his own work.
As soon as the furnace was opened, the temperature in the courtyard rose suddenly, even in the cold winter, he felt that it was a little too hot, and the old man picked up a black buffalo leather gown from the stage and blocked it on his chest.
Anzi stood in the courtyard a little embarrassed, so he went to the shed of the ore to take a look, most of these ores, he had seen them in the Meridian Sect: Wushan iron, three-grain copper, iolite, garnet, Zixia iron, Lala miscellaneous a lot of stuff, the commonly used ore is very complete.
Turning his head to look at the refined ingots again, he shook his head and said in his heart: This refined ore is too bad, if I only refine it like this, I will be scolded by Master Ram. No wonder it will be bought, and the weapons that are made in this way may not even be able to reach the fifth grade.
As he spoke, the one-eyed old man also entered the shed, glanced at Anzi, and after casually pulling seven iron ingots from the shelf into his arms, he turned to leave, still with a cold face.
Anzi knew that he was going to forge a sword, so he also went out, looking at the mold prepared on the table, this man was going to hit the head of a large long knife.
The temperature of the furnace was high, and the one-eyed man pulled the bellows twice hard, and threw all the concentrate ingots into it.
"Eh!" As soon as the man made a move, Anzi subconsciously stopped him.
The old man squinted at him, "What!" The voice was low and unfriendly.
"The five pieces you just took are the concentrate of 'Osan Iron', and the other two, one is 'white garnet' and one is 'Baigang copper', although the color is the same, but ...... Are you mistaken......"
According to the theory of the Meridian Sect, the purer the ore should be refined, the better. The ingots that this guy originally used were not pure, and then mixed three kinds of ore together, especially two of which were iron and one was copper, which was even more wrong, and the molten iron would be ruined.
The one-eyed man looked at him, pulled the bellows in one hand, and said angrily: "You strike the iron, or I strike the iron!"
"No, no!" Anzi was murdered, didn't dare to speak anymore, and walked to the side stupidly. Anyway, this soft and soft has finally come out.
One hand gently brushed open the bead curtain at the door, and it was the bright eyes and bright teeth, innocent face.
When Anzi saw her, her heart suddenly twitched, and she was speechless in amazement.
Song Rourou also changed into clothes, a clear water short undergarment, a vermilion long skirt, a dark black belt, and a pine sachet. The phoenix tail shakes the golden hairpin and wears it on the high bun, and every step is swaggering.
"You're so beautiful today!"
"Hmph!" "Wasn't I pretty before?"
"No, no, they're all beautiful, but today it's even more beautiful. ”
"Hahaha~!I don't need you to say it, I know!" Soft and soft smiled, revealing two shallow dimples.
Both of them are coming to Chang'an for the first time, and they have made an appointment to have a good time. With the mood of curiosity, I didn't feel tired after a morning of shopping.
may have been born in a merchant's family, Song Rourou is also a strange woman, and she doesn't go to any ordinary cloth jewelry shops. On the contrary, what kind of puppets, wood carving toys bought a bunch of them.
"Eh, the best Granny Cao's meatloaf! ”
Song Rourou stood on the side of the stall and sniffed the smell of meat twice, watched the old woman take the tender and juicy meatloaf out of the pot, and swallowed her saliva violently.
An Zi understood it, put the puppet in his waist clip with one hand, and took out the money with the other hand to buy a meatloaf. was about to hand it to her, but saw that Rourou's hands were already full: in her left hand, she held a bag of sugar-fried chestnuts in her arms, holding a string of sugar gourds and a string of sugar people, the sugar gourd was missing three hawthorns, and the sugar man butterfly was also missing, and the lotus leaf was pinched in her right hand, and half of the yellow and green eight-treasure mirror cake was eaten.
Rourou stared at the meatloaf, opened her mouth with an "ah", and looked at Anzi with big watery eyes, waiting for him to feed.
On this Chang'an Street, Anzi was still a little shy, and couldn't hear anything except the sound of his own heartbeat, so he walked two steps to her, held the straw paper, and fed the meatloaf to her mouth.
Rourou is unceremonious, smelling the meat is a big mouthful.
"Woo~!huh~!" As soon as I bit into the meatloaf, the tender and hot meat juice splashed out, and my mouth was full of chaos. Rourou opened her mouth and exhaled hot air, and the boss with staring eyes looked at Anzi, her hands fluttering up and down, and she stomped her feet again and again.
Anzi saw that Rourou was burned, and hurriedly reached out to her mouth: "Spit it out, spit it out!"
Rourou leans back to the sky and exhales a long breath of heat. The throat agitated, "Goo~!" The meatloaf didn't even chew, and swallowed it.
"Whew~!ahh......h But it's delicious! I'm selling two to take home!"
Anzi wanted to talk about her, but when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed back again, and only said: "You can really eat, this half day is more than I eat in a day." How did your belly grow?"
Rourou moved forward with her left hand, stretched out the pocket of sugar-fried chestnuts, and motioned to Anzi to put the meatloaf on top of the chestnuts: "It's hard to come out, of course you have to eat enough." In the middle of speaking, she suddenly stomped her foot again, and pointed to the plaque in front of her with her right elbow:
"Wow! Binghua Zhai, Binghua Zhai! Their eight-treasure sugar water and white fungus are particularly delicious, my brother brought me one in the summer, and the taste is ...... Wow, that's wonderful. Anyway, he didn't care about Anzi, he jumped into the gate in three or two steps.
A gust of wind swept away the clouds, and Anzi witnessed Rourou swallow half of the jujube paste cake, half of the lotus paste bun, a small dish of sweet garlic, a small plate of chopped mugwort peanuts, a small dish of crystal pigskin jelly, and then licked a bowl of sugar eight treasures white fungus without a drop left.
Anzi saw that she was still unsatisfied, so she pushed her bowl in front of him. Rourou looked at the table and rubbed her stomach: "Ah, it's so full, I really can't eat." Keep these, take them with you, and eat them slowly at home!"
Supporting her head with half a fist, Anzi looked at Soft and Rourou with a smile: "It's so happy to see you eat, even if you haven't eaten anything, you feel very full." ”
Rourou's handkerchief wiped the sugar juice on the corner of her mouth, and smirked: "Haven't you heard of a word called Xiu Se Ke Eat, it's me!"
Looking at her satisfied look, Anzi was also very happy, looked at her eyes, and smiled: "I'm really not ashamed!" Suddenly, her head was hot, and another sentence came out: "Rourou, have you ever thought about what kind of person you want to marry in the future?"
Song Rourou also leaned on the table: "The order of my parents, the words of the matchmaker, I can't pick it." After speaking, he propped his head and looked out the window: "But if I want to say it, I really want to live in the future when he goes out to work on his career during the day, I am a female celebrity at home and wait for him to come home, and the family eats happily around the table at night." When I have some free time, I go to the mountains to see the clouds, and we ride horses and stroll along the river...... I don't want him to be great, I just want my life to be simple and happy. Isn't that very good for you to say? ”
Anzi snorted. "He's busy with his business...... So what is my career?" he propped his head, and suddenly found that he couldn't meet such a simple request, and he couldn't rely on his skills to raise Rourou for a lifetime. He had never thought about the future, and he had to think about life at the moment.
On the way back, Anzi was a little distraught, and he didn't say a word along the way, until he walked back to the door of the blacksmith shop and Rourou said thank you to him, and he didn't react.
Anzi didn't know why, he just wanted to give Rourou something, so he untied the jade pendant that Wei Ze gave him and handed it to Rourou: "Rourou, I've always wanted to give you something, but apart from this, I don't have anything good." This was originally given to me by someone else, so I'll pass it on to you. ”
Rourou glanced at the jade pendant, only looked at the warm color, and shook her head again and again: "No, no." This piece of jade is very precious at first glance, and I can't ask for it. ”
Anzi didn't care about her refusal, and helped her tie it up: "That's all I can give you, I'll treat you as a friend, don't refuse! ”
Rourou couldn't resist him, and she held a large handful of food in her hand, and she couldn't let go, so she had to say thank you and accept it. Anzi sent her back to the backyard, said goodbye, and watched her go back to her room before turning to leave.
As soon as he turned around, he caught a glimpse of a long knife on the weapon rack, which the blind old man had done today. The head of the knife was shining silver, and even if it was not bladed, it was clear at a glance that this weapon had more than four grades.
According to the purity of that person's ore, I am afraid that there are no seven grades, how can I get four grades?
Anzi shook his head, surprised in his heart, but he didn't think much about it.
