Thousands of years

Chapter 56

A thin layer of snow has just been covered above the West Lake, which does not add to the desolation of the surrounding area. On the contrary, it adds a few different colors to the pavilions not far away. There are endless streams of literati, poets, tourists, The peddlers who are doing business in the neighborhood put on their faces earlier than the joy of the New Year.

Ever since Song Wusao's fish soup has been famous in the official family, more and more people in Lin'an City have painted gourds with the passing of time. tourists.

"It is said that the fish soup made by the family in Hunan is the most similar to the taste of the past." The earth scriptures in his hand have been marked by the person who opened the mouth so that the original text on it can't be seen clearly, only the ink dots at the punctuation positions remain, asking for pointers He talked about the news that he had inquired about.

"I heard that it is the bamboo shoots on Tianmu Mountain, the ham from Jinhua Mansion, and the mandarin fish in the West Lake. They are all the original and most authentic ingredients. Try a bowl when you swim in the lake. It is salty and fragrant. Teng Teng, isn't it wonderful?"

The tourists traveling together were obviously persuaded, and the two of them went happily, and they were at the end of the long line of people. When the winter clothes filled with cotton were used to keep warm for the two of them, they became clothes worn by the cold wind. Moved forward less than twenty steps.

"Why don't you add some more money and get a share from those who have already bought it?"

The elegance of the two has long been exhausted, and now they just want to buy a copy from the reseller, taste it, and it is a worthwhile trip: "Alright, if you wait any longer, this is a good time It goes to waste."

Perhaps they hadn't gone through hard work, and after the money was spent, the two of them also had doubts about the taste and nature of the fish soup, and the person who had praised the fish soup with the scriptures just now sighed in disappointment: "What the hell is it?" It's not like what was said in the previous poem."

The weeping willows on the shore of the lake are covered with the first snow in this winter, passing through many palaces, together with the commercial houses whose roofs have been dyed white, and rushing into the distant mountains, it is so confusing that people can’t tell the time, and can’t tell The border of a scene and a tree.

"It's getting colder and colder today." Charcoal was burning in the room, keeping it warm.Mrs. He talked about her brothers and sisters who were away, "Ms. Li is reluctant to be wronged by the sixth sister, but it is the fifth sister...it is cold along the way."

There are incense cakes burning in the stove in front of Seventh Sister, don't look at Mrs. He who is reluctant to use them, but she refuses to treat her sisters badly.

Although the former now knows how to drink and have fun, he still doesn't understand his mother's sad words, so he only raises his head to look at Mrs. He who is talking to himself.

"You are still young now, if you are older, you will understand my words..."

Clouds, frost and snow, looking out of the window, Mrs. He couldn't even tell the direction, she only saw the official palace in the distance as a reference, thinking about the whereabouts of the fifth sister after she left Lin'an City.

"It's warmer here, similar to the early autumn in Lin'an City." Walking and stopping, Fifth Sister was still counting the days at first, until she gradually lost her patience and slept day and night.

Seeing that she was about to take up the post of Fang Guanren, the fifth sister finally adjusted her schedule back to the time she should have.

Hearing the words, Fang Ya Nei also looked out along the sedan chair curtain, and immediately nodded and said: "I heard that the place where my father took office is less poor, and it is true that the seasons are like spring, and there are many very expensive fruits bought in Lin'an, which are produced here. .”

Special fruits are expensive in Lin'an City, but the people are still poor. In addition to the loss on the transportation road, it is also indispensable for the merchants to profit from the middle level.

Even if the officials have many good policies for governing the country, the lives of the people are much better than those in the history books, but after all, they are not full of gold and silver piles.After leaving Lin'an City, unless it is a rich and important town, it is difficult to see the magnificent scenery by the West Lake.
