Volume 2: Making the Sword Cangyun Mountain Chapter 37: Eating Tangyuan
While Mo Lingkong was walking towards the fishing village, there was a goshawk on the top of the mountain flying towards the north, carrying New Year's greetings and information that Mo Lingkong did not know.
He can hide it from others, but Han Chengfeng knows everything about him. Entering the second layer of the first realm in a month, including the sword intent and sword light in the morning, they were all taken away by the goshawk.
Su Yun was making rice balls with the neighbor's old woman, wearing a green coat but changing the style, wrapping the graceful figure, with some glutinous rice noodles on her delicate face, and a few strands of hair floating in front of her forehead.
Mo Lingkong has a question, won't this person be aesthetically fatigued?
Looking at the busy girl in Tsing Yi from afar, kneading the dough on the small table in front of the house, this is what a girl should look like, much softer.
Su Yun didn't notice Mo Lingkong, but kept talking to the old woman, and occasionally a crisp laugh came out, which made Mo Lingkong, who originally wanted to play a prank, embarrassed to do it.
Now although he is sure to win against her, it seems that he has not achieved much.
Alas, he never understood where this persistent girl came from.
Mo Lingkong, who was puzzled, walked towards the lake, he had been in Cangyun Mountain for so long, and he had never appreciated the scenery along the lake.
On New Year's Day, no one goes out, smoke rises from every house in the village, adults are busy eating, and children are dancing in brand-new clothes to the sound of crackling firecrackers.
Watching Mo Lingkong pass by, boldly pulling him to play together, Mo Lingkong has never had such a childlike moment since he came to Cangyun Mountain, even in Wumeng City, he has not let go of firecrackers for several years, if he either follows the fox friends and dogs to spend all day drinking, or is pulled by his mother to visit relatives and friends, and by the way, he will find a daughter-in-law.
In addition to spending time drinking and being more happy, it is really boring to go to relatives.
Mo Lingkong seems to have returned to his childhood, the children put the firecrackers on the ground, took the firecrackers to light the fuse from afar, covered their ears and ran away, waiting for the exciting explosion.
Mo Lingkong took the branch with a grin, took the firecracker in his hand, lit it and threw it into the sky, the firecracker that exploded in the air was extremely loud, and the children all opened their mouths and exclaimed. I don't know if it's because of this unique skill of setting off firecrackers, or because I was shocked by the loud noise.
An hour passed quickly, and the children went home to eat in the pleasure of satisfaction, and it was a delicate little girl who invited Mo Lingkong to dinner, wearing a small white dress that was particularly beautiful, Mo Lingkong refused with a smile, but was pulled by the little girl. The two pigtails swayed up and down, and their big smart eyes stared at Mo Lingkong with pleading, blinking as if they could speak.
He kept saying: "Big brother, my mother is making delicious rice balls, you can go to my house to taste them, the rice balls made by my mother are delicious!"
Mo Lingkong had no choice but to surrender, but he was a little embarrassed to go to a stranger's house like this.
I had to take off a jade pendant that I was carrying and give it to the little girl, the little girl said that she wouldn't accept anything, but Mo Lingkong said that she didn't accept him and didn't go to eat rice balls, so the little girl hesitated to take the jade pendant and took Mo Lingkong to the three grass houses.
A woman dressed in not brand new, but very clean linen clothes went out with a small vegetable basin, and saw the little girl pulling an extremely handsome young man through the fence door, he recognized that it was a disciple of the Cangyun Sword Sect, and he didn't know what to say in a hurry, so he had to put down the vegetable basin, wiped his hands on his body, and welcomed Mo Lingkong into the house to sit for a while, turned around and pulled the little girl to say something, and saw the jade pendant with a very good texture in the little girl's hand, of course she understood everything, and if she snatched the jade pendant with one hand, she had to return it to Mo Lingkong.
She didn't know how to speak, but said eagerly: "Shaoxia, your thing is too valuable, she can't take it with my girl." ”
Mo Lingkong smiled as softly as possible, and said: "Sister-in-law, I heard that the glutinous rice balls you make taste very good, I haven't eaten them in the north, this is just a thank you gift for my presumptuous interruption, no matter how you let your little sister accept it, she must be a big beauty when she grows up, this jade pendant is only afraid that it is not worthy of her!"
Although her daughter was praised and she was very happy, but she still had to return the jade pendant, Mo Lingkong had to sigh and said: "It seems that I don't have the blessing to eat this delicious rice ball, so it's okay, just as I made a sister, this jade pendant still has to be given to her as a meeting gift." After that, Mo Lingkong raised his feet and was about to leave, which made the little girl anxious, and while pulling Mo Lingkong, she had to let the woman keep this beautiful big brother.
The woman couldn't insist anymore, so she had to open her mouth and let Mo Lingkong stay.
Turning around with a small vegetable basin, he walked to his husband who was cooking black sesame seeds in the back of the house, whispered a few words, and the man in sackcloth hurriedly came back to greet Mo Lingkong, the big bowl of tea looked a little rough, but Mo Lingkong drank a big bowl without care, sighed with satisfaction, and praised the good taste, and the man's dark and honest face was finally full of smiles.
Mo Lingkong saw that he was not comfortable accompanying him, and took the initiative to pull the little girl out to learn how to make rice balls, and at this moment he thought of the girl in Tsing Yi again, and sure enough, it felt good.
Mo Lingkong volunteered to learn how to make dumplings with the woman, seeing that this fairy-like young man on the mountain was so approachable, the woman also put her mind at ease, and carefully instructed Mo Lingkong how to knead the skin, how to add the filling, and finally how to knead it round without letting the sesame filling fall out.
Mo Lingkong's slender fingers play a very good role, the thumb is inside, and the other four fingers are outside, pinching the dough and spinning, first making a small nest, then kneading the dough, scooping a big spoonful of sesame filling inside, but can't seal the mouth, so I have to pour it out and get it again, as a result, the white dough is stained with black sesame filling, which looks very funny, when Mo Lingkong was at a loss, the kind woman handed the half-finished rice balls to the little girl, and asked her to take them to be cooked in the fire pit and eat, which is something that the whole southern children have experienced。
Although adults always say that if you burn the rice balls and eat them, they will burn their clothes by the fire, but the rice balls are more delicious to eat, and they always attract greedy children.
After two or three failures, Mo Lingkong finally found a way, and gradually became proficient, and when he finally wrapped a perfect rice ball, he saw that the little girl was missing a bite of a cooked rice ball in her left hand, and she looked very funny with black sesame filling on her mouth.
But when the little girl gave Mo Lingkong the rice ball in her right hand regardless of it, he couldn't laugh at her anymore, because he would become like that the next moment.
After working for more than an hour, Mo Lingkong finally ate steaming rice balls with a strange and enthusiastic family of three, as well as the faint aroma of wine from the mash as an ingredient, which neutralized the glutinous and sticky rice balls.
Mo Lingkong, who was full of food and drink, was very grateful for the hospitality of this family, and when he was sent out of the gate of the fence courtyard by the little girl, he gave the little girl a big smile, which was very charming, and under the stunned gaze of the little girl, he walked towards the lake.
The word "Yuying" was silently recited in his mouth, and he didn't know what adventures this little girl had.
Mo Lingkong, who originally wanted to go around the lake, was a little tired at this time, he didn't expect that the lake was really a bit big, and it was less than half a distance on one side after walking for an hour, he no longer had the confidence to go down, sat down in a grass hut, silently looked at the lake with rippling blue water, and thought about how the third master realized the Tao at that time.
In Wumeng City, the heavy snow covered three feet deep, bringing great difficulties to the lives of the people in the city. Mo Canyang mobilized all the troops to carry out emergency rescue and disaster relief, and cooperated with young and strong people to clear the snow together, so that these soldiers could only eat their Chinese New Year's Eve dinner after dark.
The general's mansion also sent them holiday greetings, undoubtedly some copper coins, drinks and dishes, but it still moved these hot-blooded men who were far away from their hometowns to defend their homes and the country, and the local soldiers had three days off, and they had to stay on duty.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the soldiers who were still fighting in the snow heard an abrupt eagle chirping, and when they looked up, they saw a huge eagle landing on the city, and the sharp-eyed soldiers saw that the giant eagle had something tied to its feet.
When the letterhead in the cowhide bag was delivered to the general's mansion, Mo Canyang had already gone out of the city to visit the people.
Mo Di rode out of the city and sent the news to his father, who didn't know what the news was.
Mo Canyang visited one by one in the ice and snow, commanded the officials of the entire Wumeng Mansion to record the affected people, and at the same time sent people to mobilize materials, repair the houses that were crushed by the heavy snow, and allocate money and food to help the victims, this work has been carried out for a few days, but there are too many people affected by the disaster, and this matter has fallen into a protracted war, and I don't know how many cold corpses have been transported to the cemetery, Mo Canyang saw these lives lost in natural disasters, and looked very sad and self-blamed.
As the highest military and political chief of the Ukrainian League, he felt that he did not anticipate the severity of the snow disaster in advance, which caused this heavy snow disaster to be particularly serious, so now he is racing against time to do more to make up for his mistakes.
When Mo Di handed the cowhide letterbox to Mo Canyang, whose eyes were red, Mo Canyang just waved his hand and told him to read it himself, Mo Di took out the letter paper, glanced at it, and just explained the meaning of the letter to Mo Canyang.
It is nothing more than saying that Mo Lingkong has already realized the Dao, the first realm of Cangyun Jue is about to break through, the sword intent is pure, and the next step is to prepare to wash his mind.
The third son of the prime minister's family is very different from Mo Lingkong.
The most important thing is that the Prime Minister's Office supports Chonglong Temple to hold a grand festival during the Lantern Festival, and the entire Dongzhao Buddhism will participate, and posted to invite the Cangyun Sword Sect to discuss the Tao together, and the Xifan Buda Temple is actually invited as a guest sect.
Mo Canyang's brows furrowed slightly, and then his face looked a little sharp.
The giant eagle that landed at the head of the city did not go, and walked around on the watchtower, Mo Canyang went back to write a reply, and the messenger tied it to the feet of the giant eagle, and it finally flapped its wings and flew high, and its figure slowly shrank in the wind and snow, and finally disappeared.
Mo Canyang continued to fight on the front line of snow relief and did not have time to enjoy the new year.
Zheng Hongyu read the letter word for word, from joy to anger to doubt, and confused Mo Di, Xiao E took the letter from her wife, quickly glanced at it and packed it up and handed it back to Mo Di, feeling very happy.
Mo Di turned around and went out, changed into civilian clothes, straddled the horse out of the East City Gate, with only Liu Qingbao by his side, and the two rode with difficulty in the snowstorm and crossed the Yuan River, which was the direction of the Great Zhao Kingdom......
