Beloved Concubine

Chapter 13 Night Travel Clothes

Several people in Fang Yu finished measuring the size and selected the fabric.

Chen Xiaodao: "I want to make a strong outfit."

"Strong dress?" Aunt Shen was puzzled, she didn't know what a strong dress was.

Chen Xiao turned to Fang Yu and said, "Do you still have the clothes you wore before? Show them to the aunt for reference."

Fang Yu shook his head: "It's gone."

In addition to the inner coat he was wearing, his middle coat and outer coat were burned after he was replaced.

Chen Xiao said to Aunt Shen: "Do you have a pen and paper? I'll draw for you."

"Yes." Aunt Shen went to find a pen and paper.

Fang Yu was puzzled. His clothes were the night clothes of the Xiling military uniform, and they were worn when carrying out investigations or covert operations. Why would Ms. Chen want night clothes?

He whispered to Chen Xiao: "Come out, I have something to tell you."

Chen Xiao was pulled outside by him.

"What do you want to do by making night clothes?" Fang Yu's expression was a little serious.

"Night clothes?" Chen Xiao asked with question marks all over his face.

Fang Yu looked at her seriously, wondering what she might do.

Chen Xiao took it for granted, "Wear it!"

"I know it's to wear. What are you going to do in it?"

"What are you doing, don't you usually wear clothes?"

From her bewildered expression, Fang Yu could see that she didn't seem to have any "special action".

"What do you usually wear?" Fang Yu asked.

"Yes."

"How can you usually wear that kind of clothes!"

"Why not, you didn't wear it before."

Fang Yu didn't know how to explain that the night clothes were only worn under special circumstances.If you usually wear it on the street, you will immediately attract the attention of the people around you.Besides, who would wear night clothes as regular clothes?

He said: "That kind of clothes can't be worn out on the street. If you don't do anything special, it's better not to make that kind of clothes!"

"If you don't do something special, you can't wear it? Who stipulated it?" With modern thinking, Chen Xiao can do whatever is not prohibited by the law.

"The imperial court." Fang Yu said seriously, "My clothes are military uniforms, not everyone can wear them."

Nightwear is a general term for a clothing style category.Such as official uniforms, regular uniforms, formal dresses, military uniforms, even filial piety uniforms and so on.

Night clothes are made by some folks themselves, and some are made by the imperial court.Fang Yu was wearing a military-style night uniform, which ordinary people could not wear except for those with special status.This is the same reason that modern ordinary people cannot wear active military uniforms.

"Military uniform?" Chen Xiao was confused: "Didn't you say night clothes?"

Now she somewhat understands that the ancients called "strong clothes" "night clothes".

Think about it, too, the word "Jingzhuang" appeared in martial arts novels and games, and the ancients did not have this word.

But why did it become a military uniform again?
"Anyway, don't make that kind of clothes, you'll get into trouble if you wear them out." Fang Yu said in a warning tone.

Chen Xiao stared at Fang Yu with puzzled eyes.

"Didn't you say that you have lost your memory? You still remember that you are wearing a military uniform."

Fang Yu said indifferently: "You have lost your memory, don't you still remember that the pendant is a relic of your parents?"

"Hehe," Chen Xiao smiled and said:

"Don't worry, I won't do something exactly like yours..." She paused, and said:
"It doesn't matter whether it's night clothes or military uniforms. Now, it's called—Jingzhuang." Chen Xiao paused for the last sentence.

"Strong outfit...?" Fang Yu pondered the word.

Chen Xiao saw that Aunt Shen had found a pen and paper waiting for her, so she went in to draw the costume design.

……

dinner time.

Xiao Shitou came back a little late, mainly because of the delay in exchanging money.

The Xiling people he knew asked for 600% of the fee, so they talked about it, and finally said it was [-]%, [-] taels in exchange.Before, he still felt that they couldn't afford that much money, but they had a boss behind them.As for what they told the owner, Xiao Shitou didn't know.But obviously, they are just playing the role of "middlemen", and they must have made money from this five percent.

Several people ate snake meat hot pot and talked about it while eating.

The Nanyue people do not have the way of eating "hot pot", because the weather here is hot, and eating around the stove is not like heating up the heat.

Nanyue people usually cook snake meat in soup, but Xiao Shi came back a little late, so Chen Xiao proposed to eat it while cooking, so it became a snake meat hot pot.

Based on the existing materials here, she matched some vegetables and prepared dipping sauces.

As for snake gall and snake blood, Nanyue people generally use them to make wine.Drinking snake blood wine while eating snake meat is a delicacy enjoyed by the South Vietnamese.

Chen Xiao and the others also brewed snake gall and snake blood into wine.Snake bile wine is best soaked for a few days before drinking, but snake blood wine is best drunk now.

Chunhong ate the food made by Wenxiu, and dared not eat the snake meat in the casserole with a chopstick, and dared not drink the soup, as if she would be poisoned if she ate it.

Little Stone picked up a bowl of blood red wine and said:

"Brother Fang and Sister Chen, thank you very much today. I won't say anything more, so I respect you!"

Each person has a bowl of snake blood wine, and if one sip is dry, there will be no second sip.

The three picked up their wine bowls and took a sip.

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Don't call me Big Sister Chen, just call me Sister Chen."

She felt that "Sister Chen" called her old.

"Yes, Sister Chen." Xiao Shitou smiled and said, "I heard from Wenxiu's sister-in-law that you are not afraid of snakes at all, and even help catch them."

Later when Xiaoshitou came back, Aunt Shen said that he pretended to be a snake and didn't tell Wenxiu, which frightened Wenxiu.After Xiaoshitou found out, he kept apologizing to Wenxiu.

Wenxiu said it was nothing, if she knew it was not poisonous, she would not be afraid.

Several people were eating and chatting, Wenxiu brought a bowl of roasted bee pupae.

"The appetizers are here! Drink slowly."

This plate of roasted bee chrysalis is the honeycomb brought by Chunhong.

How can there be no appetizers for drinking?Chen Xiao thought of the beehive that Chunhong bought, and asked her if she was going to get honey or bee pupae for that beehive?Chunhong said it was a bee pupa.So Chen Xiao asked her to take out the honeycomb and fry the bee pupae.

However, the sesame oil here is very expensive, and they all eat sesame oil as a condiment.So it became a roasted bee pupa.

Many modern fried things are grilled here.

Chunhong did not dare to eat snake meat, but she dared to eat bee pupae.Not only dare to eat, but also like it very much.It's just that this thing can be sold for a good price. If they find bee pupae, they usually sell them, and they are reluctant to eat them.

Seeing Chunhong picking up bee pupae with one chopstick after another, Chen Xiao reminded:

"You can't eat too much of this stuff, you may be allergic if you eat too much."

Chunhong stopped her chopsticks and looked at her.His eyes were full of puzzlement.

She was a little annoyed: what happened if I ate two more bites!
But she didn't dare to say it, and said timidly, "Got it."

Fang Yu said: "What allergies are not allergies, eat as much as you want, there are more!"

Hearing Brother Fang's words, Chunhong smiled.

Ever since she was a child, she has never let go of eating bee pupae.Eat that big honeycomb!

Seeing that they didn't take it seriously, Chen Xiao let it go.

She once ate bee pupa, and her face was swollen like a pig's head.

Anything, you just have to try it yourself.
