Villager of Daming

Chapter 282 Catkins Floating to Neighbors from afar (Thank you for the sixth monthly ticket!)
At noon on the third day of March, catkins are flying every now and then.

The students in the Nanjing examination room began to come out one after another, some were downcast, some were in high spirits.

"Brother Liu, how are you?" As soon as a person wearing Suzhou embroidery came out, other people immediately surrounded him.

"It's okay, I'm watching the imperial examination, it's hard to answer the current affairs policy!" The person surnamed Liu was quite complacent.

While talking, he looked up at the big sun in the sky, and smiled: "Go, take a bath and drink at the Qinhuai River."

"Congratulations Brother Liu!"

"Brother Liu will definitely get a first class this year."

"I heard that brother Liu's riding and shooting skills are not ordinary."

"I think Brother Liu can win the first prize."

The students who surrounded him flattered him and followed him to Qinhuai River.

Some people used their sleeves to shade the sun, bowed their heads and rushed to the library, which is far away from the library.

It costs money to take a bus, so students are reluctant and would rather walk.

At this time, there is no Jiangnan Gongyuan, otherwise people who go to Qinhuai River don’t need to find the riverside to get on the boat, Jiangnan Gongyuan is right next to it.

Candidates who finished the exam came out one after another, and some people still wrote in it, as if they had a lot to say.

Zhu Wentian was also writing and drawing in the room, and the head of the village chatted with the box lunch people.

"Is this stewed rice noodle delicious today?" He asked the other party.

What I said the day before yesterday was prepared yesterday and done today. The speed is fast enough. Xiaqiu Village bought a lot of meat, and only then did I get together a thousand catties of pig intestines, pig lungs, and of course other offal.

Including pig's head, and a fan of pork ribs with meat, the princess has braised pork ribs for lunch today, as well as a cold dish of braised pig's ears mixed with cucumber, which tastes crispy.

The children in the library also ate more meat. No one took care of them these two days, and they learned to clean the plates by themselves.

When you have any questions, ask the service staff of the library, such as Wang Shu.

Each person in the box restaurant will give a portion of stewed rice, and the other party can eat less rice.

The person who was asked by the head of the village nodded while eating, with a vague voice: "Okay, delicious!"

Satisfied, the village chief went to ask others, and the answers he got were all delicious.

"The head of the village! We give it to others for free, who can say it's not good? Take it out and sell it, and see if the people who buy it say it's good."

The little girl watched the village chief questioning him, sweating profusely from the questioning, so she came over and reminded her helplessly.

"I know, I just want to hear what other people say. Go and call out your brother Hanhan. Today, there are few people and it's too hot. They're all waiting for the food sellers to pass by elsewhere."

The head of the village spoke confidently, wiped off his sweat, and muttered something like 'this year is hotter than last year, and there are even more willow catkins' and so on.

Zhu Wentian came out and looked around, but he didn't see Zhu Xi, and he didn't know what the other party was doing, anyway, he was busy recently, so he didn't have time to listen to Zhu Xi.

"Hanhan, eat stewed rice noodles?" The head of the village 'sells' to Hanhan again.

Zhu Wentian ignored him, went to the front to order vegetables, brought a bowl of soup, and brought four big steamed buns.

He didn't want to eat rice noodles, and he didn't feel very hungry. The hotter the day, the more his body wasted.

The friends don’t eat it either, they are all serving dishes. The dishes are different from those sold in box restaurants. They are cooked separately and have more meat.

The head of the village also filled the food, and also did not eat stewed rice noodles. He sat across from Hanhan and said, "There are a lot of dishes today, and the scholars who have finished the exams should come here to pick them up. We won't send them away. We have to wait for them to come back one after another." .

It is estimated that the food will be left over, eat it at night, and it will be hot, so I am afraid it will be spoiled.When someone came over for lunch, he said that many people who had finished the exam had gone to the Qinhuai River and wanted to celebrate. "

Zhu Wentian chewed the steamed buns and responded with two hums, and slapped the catkins away in front of him.

"How do you sell the pork intestines and lungs that you cook here?" A man standing at the door shouted to this side.

A child shouted to welcome him out: "Come in and eat, two Wen, a large spoonful of oily intestines and a lot of rice noodles."

The door was actually open, and there was no air-conditioning. The store was open and there was a family of five standing outside.

A couple should be a husband and wife. It feels like they can’t be 30 years old. A big boy, eight or nine years old, carries a child about one year old on his back?There is another girl who is five or six years old.

The burden is at the door, and the baskets on both sides contain goose eggs and duck eggs. It is estimated that the husband and wife take turns to pick them.

"We have no money, should we use duck eggs to change the line?" The man showed a shy expression and was a little timid, but he still mustered up the courage to speak out.

"Okay! A duck egg is exchanged for a bowl of stewed rice noodles. Come in and eat it. It's easy to be bumped by people at the door." The child readily agreed.

The man picked up the burden and brought his family in. Four of the people who were eating next to him quickly went over to grab the sides of the front and back baskets and carried them to the corner.

"Thank you! Thank you! They all said that the people in the city are nice, as expected!" The man thanked repeatedly.

'Wow~~Wow~~' The child on the boy's back burst into tears. He hurriedly moved the child to look at it, and then hugged and dangled: "Don't cry, don't cry..."

"Why don't you cry? Here, Xiaojiu will get a new towel. I'll change the urinal for him. Someone will pour cold water, soak steamed buns, and break them into pieces. Serve rice."

The little girl came to pick up the baby. The baby's diaper was soaked, and it smelled bad when she got close. She carried her away to a place where there was no one nearby.

The children started to move, someone took the remaining four people to wash their hands, and someone went to serve food.

Not long after, the baby was wrapped in a new diaper made of a towel, his face and hands were wiped clean, his eyes were on the little girl, and his mouth kept moving.

"I'll eat it right away." The little girl sat down, scooped up the steamed buns with a spoon, tested the temperature, and carefully fed them to the baby. The baby opened his mouth and chewed hard.

"Give it to me quickly, how can this be done? Don't get your clothes dirty." Only then did the woman come to her senses.

"It's okay, you eat. If you haven't eaten stewed rice, don't touch it yet. There are box lunches. Four servings count as three duck eggs. You have two children, so you eat less."

The little girl didn't care, she continued to feed the children as she spoke, she was skillful, there were babies in the village, even younger than her, she had fed them before, and was responsible for playing with them.

"Where did you come from?" the village chief asked at this time.

"Shijiu Lake, we are from there, now we are naturalized, and belong to Jiangning County of Yingtian Prefecture, so we don't need a guide here.

Last year, I followed Xiaqiu Village to catch crabs, gave us food, and then gave ducks and geese.

When it grows and grows, it lays eggs. A few neighbors saved some eggs with our family. I brought my family over to see what the city looks like and sell eggs.

When I came here, I took someone else's boat, and they didn't ask for money.Xiaqiu Village, you should know about it, right?I heard that they bought a shop here, are you guys in the same business? "

The man watched the little girl feeding his son with his eyes, and answered Li Chang's words.

"Why don't you send the eggs to Xiaqiu Village?" the chief wondered.

"We have to go west. Xiaqiu Village raises more poultry. Why do they want our eggs? Wouldn't it be embarrassing for them if we took them?" the man asked back.

"Okay! When you go back, you take the boat from Xiaqiu Village. Later, the boat from Xiaqiu Village will come over and turn around first to take you to the city."

The head of the village agrees, yes, Xiaqiu Village also has to send things here, you were wasting time in the past.

"You said... why did you order Shangxiaqiu Village? They listened to you?" The man was unhappy.

"Father, he is from Xiaqiu Village! It's not Xiaqiu Village, who treats us so well? It's a new towel, used as a diaper for Little Mushroom."

The boy made a sound at this moment, and he has been observing, including the soap when washing hands. Xiaqiu Village gave the family a few yuan.
