Stepmother Shaoguang

"It's uncomfortable to stay in the capital in this weather, so it's better to take you to the south of the Yangtze River?"

When Lu Xiaowen returned to the mansion that day, he saw that the elder and younger were all looking lazy, so he thought about it and talked about it.

Three pairs of eyes stared at him, Lu Xiaowen couldn't help but laugh: "A garden bestowed by the sage is just over there, and I haven't had time to look at it yet, so I just took you to live with me for a while."

This year, they are not allowed to go out for a lot of time, just to relax and escape the heat.

"Okay, okay," He Shaoguang said with a smile, feeling someone pulling at the hem of his clothes, he lowered his head and found that it was Lu Mingyan, and instantly understood, "Then brother Yan's homework?"

Lu Xiaowen rubbed his son's head, it felt good, and he rubbed it hard a few more times until he messed up Lu Mingyan's hair: "I can still teach him the lessons at this age, and I can let him feel in advance what it means to be a child. Study Tour."

"Then I'll make a list tomorrow and count all the things I'm going to bring." He Shaoguang was so happy that he wished he could fly to the edge of the West Lake immediately.

"Mother, mother! Bring the mangosteen." Lu Mingzhen's eyes sparkled.

"Then you are responsible for keeping an eye on the mangosteen on the way, and don't let her get lost or get scared, is that okay?" This trip will save two months, without taking her, leaving a cat in the yard to guard the vacant room, and come back Everyone will take revenge.

"En!" Lu Mingzhen nodded vigorously, and patted his small chest.

Later generations' memories of Jiangnan overlapped with the scenes in front of them.

The water town style of Suzhou has not changed much after thousands of years.

Families on both sides of the river are facing the river when they go out. It is common to see girls of twelve or thirteen years old or the eldest daughter-in-law of someone's family pick up clothes in a wooden basin, squat at the door of the house, wash them, wring them dry and hang them under the window.

Qili Shantang, also known as Qili Shantang, has one raccoon per mile and one bridge. It is said that there are seven bluestone civet cat statues on this street: Meiren raccoon at Shantang Bridge, Tonggui raccoon at Tonggui Bridge, and Wenxing raccoon, Caiyun raccoon from Caiyun Bridge, Baigong raccoon from Puji Bridge, Haiyong raccoon from Wangshan Bridge, and Fenhui raccoon from Xishanmiao Bridge.

It symbolizes the beautiful meanings of elegance, wealth, knowledge, health, opportunity and so on.

"These civet cat statues are said to have been engraved by the first emperor when he beheaded Tiger Hill with a sword, and when later generations dug the Shantang River to suppress the murderous spirit of the sword.

Touch the civet cat's head, it will be good all year round. "

He Shaoguang said this to them, and he took the lead in touching Meirenli's head.

"There's a manned boatman there, shall we rent a boat?"

The sharp-eyed He Shaoguang saw many awning boats propped up by the river bank, so he got excited on a whim.

"Let's go." It's not only good to come out to relax, but also to experience the fun of the people.

"My lord and lady, this old man's boat is used for fishing, and it may smell a little fishy. I don't know how many of you can bear it?"

They picked the boat of an old grizzled boatman because it was spacious and clean.

The other party had bowed their backs because they lived on the water with bamboo poles all year round, and reminded them with a smile.

"It's okay, old man." He Shaoguang smiled, "What kind of fresh river fish do you have here? Can you cook fish on board?"

Many boatmen solve the problem of meals directly in the boat, so there will be no shortage of cooking pots and seasonings on the boat.

There are also boatmen who will try their best to find out that many guests like to cook freshly caught fish on the boat to try their early adopters, so they will also specially prepare bowls and chopsticks for guests.

"Yes, there are." The boatman said enthusiastically, "Is the lady a foreigner? You two know how to eat. I have lived on the water for so many years, so many old gourmets just want this fresh one."

He Shaoguang smiled, walked into the cabin, and sat down with them around the fire.

Hot water is gurgling on the stove, which can be used to make tea, or you can put a cauldron on the stove, pour water into it, catch a fish on the spot and stew it.

A side shelf holds some of the boatman's personal belongings.

"Let's put up the windows so we can see the scenery outside."

The smell on the water is not particularly pleasant, and there is a smell of aquatic plants.

But I have to say that the ecology is really good, with green water and white geese, small bridges and flowing water.

Especially the extra performance of the boatman, he caught a big fish weighing almost three catties with one slap with his oar, He Shaoguang clicked his tongue when he saw it, and those who fished by the lake all night would cry to death by the river.

After a brief treatment on the boat board, he brought it in, along with a net of lively and lively shrimps.

"Thank you, we can just watch the fire ourselves."

Lu Xiaowen helped steer the cauldron, and the boatman added a little salt and rice wine into it, and nothing else was needed, just to experience the original taste.

When he felt that the time was almost up, He Shaoguang lifted the lid, and a smell of fish came out.

"Wow~" Lu Mingzhen scrambled on the table, peeked his head, and couldn't wait to hold his own small bowl.

Perhaps this experience was too novel, Lu Mingyan couldn't help leaning forward slightly, looking forward to it.

"It smells good."

Pick up the white and tender fish meat with chopsticks, and you can see the petals and petals of the fish with a little force.

This kind of fish has few bones and fresh meat, especially the fish in the pot is still alive and kicking in the water one moment, and then it is in the cauldron to be cooked in the next moment, enjoying the ultimate freshness.

"It's still too extravagant to eat like this. It would be great if we could eat such fresh food in real time in the mansion." He Shaoguang laughed and chatted with them.

"We can raise fish in the pond too, Mother."

"The one in our mansion?" He Shaoguang sneered, "Have you seen the koi there?"

Lu Mingzhen nodded. Of course, the only pond in the mansion was filled with koi carp, each of which looked like a ball.

"Those carp are like pigs, and the fry they put in will be eaten up by them in less than three days."

Lu Mingzhen was stunned: "Do they even eat their own kind?"

"Of course." He Shaoguang wanted to say that there are some fish that are specially raised under the dry toilet, so he couldn't resist eating them.

But when Lu Xiaowen saw her hesitant expression, he instantly understood, and instantly felt that the fish in the bowl was no longer tasty.

"We are all in Suzhou these few days, and we are going to visit an uncle." Lu Xiaowen arranged the next itinerary, "Give me the prepared gift later, do you have an old friend you want to visit?"

He Shaoguang thought about it, and felt that he probably had no one to meet, so he shook his head and asked him, "Which family's uncle is it? Shall we go with you too?"

"No, it's just the father of a friend of mine. I'll just take Ming Yan with me. If you want to go, you can go with me, but he's a bit rigid and might be a bit nagging."

Lu Xiaowen was also very troubled by the nagging elders, thinking that he would bring Brother Yan to visit, so that the battle could be resolved quickly.

If you drag your family to the door, they will have to let you finish a meal anyway, right?
