Chapter 22: The Grace of Food
At this time, two strong men came in from outside the door, sat at a nearby table, asked for two jars of high-quality wine, three catties of cooked beef, and ate and drank in a big gulp. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The wine bowls touched, the wine overflowed, and in a moment, the whole building was filled with a strong aroma of wine.
"It smells so good. ”
The old man put a slice of meat with chopsticks in his mouth, sniffed a few times with his nose, turned his head, and looked at the wine jar on the table behind him greedily.
"Little Er, bring two jars of fine wine. ”
Glancing at the old man who was already addicted to alcohol, Zhang Yingying smiled slightly and asked Xiao Er to send two jars of good wine.
"You're having fun. ”
Pointing to the two jars of wine on the table, Zhang Yingying said.
"Thank you, thank you. ”
The old man hurriedly thanked him, patted the mud seal on the mouth of the wine jar, took a bowl, poured a full bowl, raised his head and drank it, and then wiped his mouth with his dirty sleeves, smiled, and was very satisfied.
Maybe he was too hungry and wanted to drink too much, but in front of the three of them, the old man seemed to be hungry for too long, gobbling up, and he had no appetite at all.
He ate the food in a big gulp, drank a bowl of wine from time to time, and laughed twice from time to time, and ate happily.
In a moment, the jar was empty, and the three plates were already facing the sky.
"It's been a long time since I've had such a hearty meal, hahaha. ”
After eating, the old man seemed to have the spirit, stretched his waist, and burped with a full smell of wine.
Seeing that Wang Tie's family covered their mouths, the old man laughed, took out a crumpled piece of cloth from his arms, and handed it to Zhang Yingying.
"The grace of full food, grateful, this rag was obtained by the old man from a monument, because it was too small, it was of little use to be left on the body, so it was given to the lady, and if you meet a discerning businessman, you will definitely sell it for a good price. After the old man finished speaking, he arched his hand to the three of them and left the table.
Zhang Yingying was patient, looking at the crumpled cloth in her hand that exuded a trace of foul smell, she didn't see anything unusual, and then shook her hand and gave it to Wang Tie.
The smell was tangy, and the stimulated Wang Tie almost spit out what he had eaten, but he couldn't help it, so he had to pinch his nose and watch it.
After looking at it for a long time, he didn't see anything special about the cloth, so Wang Tie shook his hand and threw it on a plate on the table, covering half of the corner.
"Hey, the saucer is gone. ”
Seeing that the corner of the cloth covering half of the plate on the table had sunk down, Wang Xiaoyu looked curious.
"It's a bit quirky. ”
Uncovered the cloth and looked at the half of the dish that was revealed, Wang Xiaoyu's eyes widened.
Then he grabbed the cloth and put it on top of a rice bowl. Sure enough, the piece of cloth sank and lay flat on the table.
The rice bowl is gone, and along with it, there is also the smell of rice.
Looking at the rags spread on the table, the three members of the Wang family were extremely surprised.
The rags can not only make the rice bowl disappear, but also hide the aroma of rice, which is incredible.
Wang Xiaoyu grabbed the rags and looked at the rice bowl that had returned to the table, groaning for a while, and frowning a little with joy.
If you use a piece of cloth to cover the broken bowl hidden on your body, with its function of hiding and hiding, you will no longer have to worry about being discovered.
Although the rag is only the size of a palm, it has these two functions, which can be regarded as a treasure.
"Although this cloth is very wonderful, it is too small to be of much use to us, so we should wait to take it to the jewelry store and let the shopkeeper see it, let him make a price, and sell it if it is reasonable." ”
Looking at the cloth, Wang Tie shook his head, and then said.
Today is extremely unlucky, I originally wanted the family to have a good meal, but I was stunned that an old man I didn't know was stirred up, and I didn't say anything about eating it for nothing, and I also dropped this piece of cloth called a baby.
"This cloth can't be sold, am I useful?" Hearing Wang Tie's words, Wang Xiaoyu was anxious, grabbed the piece of cloth in his hand and put it in his arms.
Wang Tie was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Since you are useful, then take it, I have no objection." ”
Looking at Wang Xiaoyu's nervous expression, Zhang Yingying was thoughtful and did not speak, but stood up and beckoned the guy to come over to settle the bill.
A meal cost a total of twenty taels of silver, which is a bit of a luxury for a poor family, although the two of them are distressed, but seeing Wang Xiaoyu's happy appearance, it is the same as usual.
The family walked around the city, bought some miscellaneous things, packed a few big bags, and then got into the car, Wang Tie shouted, the old ox flew in all four hooves, and instantly went out of the city and galloped towards Lihua Village.
When he returned home, it was already evening, Wang Tie settled the old cow, and Zhang Yingying returned to the house with a large bag and a small bag, while Wang Xiaoyu quietly slipped back to the backyard hut, took a basin, filled it with water, took out the cloth from his arms, put it in the basin and washed it.
After a moment, the cloth was washed clean and presented on Wang Xiaoyu's hands.
The cloth looks like it has been around for some years, and I don't know what fabric it is woven from, the texture is soft and smooth, and there is a small half of a strange pattern faintly embroidered on it, the pattern is strange, not complete, Wang Xiaoyu looked at it for a long time, didn't understand, shook his head at the moment, and had no intention of looking down.
The broken bowl was taken out of the cloth bag, and then wrapped in cloth, and in an instant, the broken bowl magically disappeared.
With a slight shake, the broken bowl fell on the table.
This rather mysterious piece of cloth is really useful, and with it, you don't have to worry about the broken bowl being discovered.
Wang Xiaoyu smiled slightly, covered the cloth on top of the broken bowl, and then grabbed it and put it into his arms.
When everything was discouraged, Wang Xiaoyu walked out of the hut, but ran into Wang Tie and Zhang Yingying who entered the backyard with a flower hoe.
Looking at the pouch that Wang Tie was carrying, Wang Xiaoyu understood a little, presumably his parents wanted to plant early and have a good harvest.
This time when they entered the city, they bought a lot of flower seeds, and the two of them picked out some full grains and prepared the first batch of seeds, and after this batch matured, they would be planted in several batches.
After all, there is a limited amount of space in the backyard garden, so you can't grow too much.
Wang Xiaoyu found a hoe from the corner of the house, went to the garden with Wang Tie and Zhang Yingying, loosened the soil, dug a pit, and began to plant.
After a few hours, the first seeds were planted in the garden, and the three of them smiled at each other and wiped the sweat from their faces.
Due to the labor, Wang Tie and Wang Xiaoyu's stomachs began to growl, Zhang Yingying glanced at the father and son, put down the flower hoe, and walked into the kitchen in the front yard.
Wang Tie touched his head, smiled embarrassedly, and saw that the two water tanks were empty, so he walked straight into the front yard, took out two wooden barrels, put them on with a burden, and said hello to Zhang Yingying, who was cooking, opened the wooden door, and went to carry water.
Seeing this, Wang Xiaoyu walked quickly to the water tank, grabbed a wooden bucket with both hands, and followed Wang Tie out of the door.
It was getting dark, and there was no one on the road, only a little light shining through the neighbor's courtyard on the side of the road.
Wang Xiaoyu grabbed the big wooden barrel, kept a distance of dozens of steps from Wang Tie, and walked towards the Langluo River a few miles away from the entrance of the village.
