Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 236
Wen Shu was stunned, and when he realized that he was about to chase, he heard a long howl behind him, and Hong Ying had already chased him out of the window first.The half-open window lattice was squeezed by its fat body, and the bamboo pole supporting the window fell to the ground with a bang, and the window lattice closed instantly.

Unable to see the scene outside, Wen Shu hurriedly turned to the door, opened it, and chased him out.But as soon as he ran to the door of the main room, he saw birds and beasts fighting on the roof of the neighbor's house. ,

Under the cold moonlight, Ju Ju's figure was almost invisible. If it wasn't for the red shadow hovering over it, and pecking at it from time to time, she would almost have thought that Ju Ju had run away and disappeared.

Just at this moment of stupefaction, the fat-stealing bird let out a long cry, then swooped down and grabbed the 朏朏 under its claws, and flew towards the courtyard.

Wen Shu immediately gave it a thumbs up, "Excellent."

The fat-stealing bird raised its head triumphantly, loosened its claws, and threw the 朏朏 to her feet, then retracted its wings, and stood beside her with its head held high, as if everything was up to me.

Wen Shu laughed lightly, and was about to touch its head to show her praise, when she felt her waist sinking, and looked down again, only to see that at some point, it jumped up and landed on her body. .

The fleshy white paws firmly grabbed her trouser legs, the big fluffy tail hung down naturally, and the round head tried to look up, looking at her pitifully, her small body trembled, as if she had suffered a lot. frightened.

Wen Shu pursed his lips, pinched the back of its neck with one hand and lifted it up, and said frightened: "Run, why don't you run away, didn't you have a lot of backbone just now?"

Zhuo glanced at Hongying secretly, and shook her fluffy tail vigorously, her light blue eyes fixedly stared at her, blinking and fawning.

Wen Shu didn't soften his heart immediately, but saw the way from its series of actions.

The emotional little guy is afraid of the red shadow!

No wonder!
She just said, why did Qu Chuan, who is naturally alert and keeps people away, suddenly threw himself into her arms.

At first, I thought it was a pie from the sky, but now I realize that the result of the twists and turns is actually the credit of Hongying.But after thinking about this joint, she felt relieved.

I was still worried about how to raise it after catching it. Before it is fully raised, it will definitely sneak away. I planned to buy a cage and keep it for a while, and then release it after it is cooked, but now it is easy.

Feeling relieved, Wen Shu immediately put the little guy on the ground, then turned around without looking back and went to the room to get clothes, ready to wash his hair and take a bath.

The sweet fragrance from this end almost made her faint.

However, as soon as she turned around, Ju Ju exerted her strength again and grabbed her trousers from behind.Feeling that the trousers loosened, Wen Shu hurriedly pulled them up, and then looked at the scorpion speechlessly, but saw that it was looking at the fat-stealing bird with shrunken eyes, looking frightened and terrified.

She glanced at the red shadow who was staring at Zou's red eyes, and said helplessly: "Don't look too closely, as long as it doesn't run out of the hospital, let it go." Then, she pulled Zou from her trouser legs, He touched his head again to show reassurance.

She walked very fast, and under Hong Ying's stare, she didn't dare to move any more, so she curled her body into a ball, and then swept her fluffy tail to cover her face, so as to block the fierce light projected from there. It looks like the eyes are pure.

The sticky juice was very difficult to wash off after drying, Wen Shu changed three basins of water before washing off the sweet scent.

After finishing all this, her father also came back from the outside. Hearing the creaking of the courtyard door, Wen Shu hurriedly tore off a lock of messy hair to cover the wound on his forehead.

"Whose cat, why did it come here?" Her father asked from the courtyard.

The overall appearance of 朏朏 is very similar to a cat, only the tail is different from ordinary cats, it is long and shaggy.But under the moonlight, Father Wen didn't see too clearly.

"Our family, I caught it for you just now, and dad will keep it by his side to relieve boredom." Wen Shu came out of the kitchen and said while wiping her hair.

Father Wen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Father doesn't have such leisure time, the shop in front is too busy, where did you hire this cat, I'll send it back tomorrow."

Wen Shu wanted to say that this "cat" was unusual, but then he thought about whether this cat would be well-raised or not. If he wanted to send it back at that time, wouldn't it be a waste of joy for his father to swallow the words that came to his mouth? went back.

"You don't have to wait on him, just give me something to eat." Afraid that her father would find it troublesome, she said again: "It doesn't matter if father doesn't have time to take care of it. I have me, and I can help take care of it."

Seeing her being so attentive, Father Wen only thought that she wanted to support her himself, so he didn't say anything, chatted with her a few words, and then went back to sleep.

Seeing this, Wen Shu also went back to the room.

The fat-stealing bird didn't want to sleep very much, so it didn't follow, and only stared at the man in front of him with piercing eyes.

A good night's sleep.

The next day, just as the sky turned pale, Wen Shu got up. He hadn't been to the tea shed for a long time, so it was time to visit.

When the door was opened, the birds and beasts outside were still facing each other, without even changing their positions, they couldn't help but shook their heads amusedly, stepped forward and patted the fat-stealing bird on the head, "Didn't I say you don't have to watch so closely, you stare like this Sleeping all night, are you tired?"

The fat-stealing bird whimpered, and rubbed its white head against her palm.

Wen Shu smiled and touched its head, "Okay, I'm going out today, you take it to the room to sleep, don't run around."

The fat-stealing bird nodded obediently, grabbed it and flew to the room. Wen Shu smiled and walked forward to close the door, and then went to the well to wash.After washing, I didn't feel hungry, so I didn't eat breakfast. I put all kinds of ointments that I made yesterday into a bamboo basket, and left the house with the basket on my shoulders.

In the morning light, the gate of the city under the morning glow is already very lively.Grain-carrying boats drove into the city from the waterway on the left in an endless stream, and the farmers who drove their livestock and loads into the city to sell vegetables and the people who were in a hurry to leave the city for errands huddled together at the gate.

Wen Shu squeezed out of the city along the flow of people, and walked another half a mile. The number of talents gradually decreased, but vegetable farmers who brought vegetables into the city still met from time to time.

Wen Shu would also buy some of the juicy and fresh vegetables. After such a journey, when she arrived at the tea shed, she had both hands full.

She got up early today and didn't stay at home. She thought that Mrs. Zhao hadn't arrived yet when she arrived at the tea shed, but she didn't expect that when she got closer, she found that not only the tea shed was open, but there were people offering incense in front of the Earth Temple.

Mrs. Zhao was standing in front of the incense stall and fiddled with the incense candles on it. When she turned around and saw her coming, she hurriedly greeted her with a smile: "My master is here, oh, why are you carrying so many things? Come, let me get some for you. My feet are so good." Is it all?"

"It's all right, it's not a serious injury, what about the dog?"

"Falling asleep in the back room, the host can have breakfast, would you like some steamed buns and tea soup?"

"I've eaten. Is sister-in-law's business doing well these days?"

"Okay, I was thinking of reporting to something." Mrs. Zhao beamed with joy.

While talking, the two had already entered the tea shed.

After placing the things under the kitchen, and pouring a cup of tea for Wen Shu, Mrs. Zhao said with a smile: "I think the story of my master's encounter with a fairy has spread, and more and more people come to offer incense these days. , well," she pointed outside, "No, there are already people early in the morning, and they came earlier than me."

As he spoke, he sighed again: "My incense stall has only been supported for three days, and I have earned more than 200 Wen. After the pilgrims finished offering incense, they would also come to sit in the shed. The tea soup was made more than before. They were all sold out at noon." While speaking, he took out a booklet from behind the counter and handed it to Wen Shu: "I have recorded all these, my boss will take a look."

Wen Shu took it and flipped through it casually, then smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad."

In the past few days, the revenue has doubled compared to usual. After excluding the cost, the daily net income is more than 200 Wen.

　Reading tips:

　　The "employment cat" in the article is not a typo, but the real "employment".

　　In the Song Dynasty, whether you bought a kitten in the pet market, or asked for a kitten from relatives, friends, or neighbors, it was called "hiring a cat".

　　Lu You, a famous cat-loving poet, also wrote a poem "Giving a Cat": "Salt-wrapped raccoon slaves are hired, and they often go to the corner of the theater."

　　Meaning, I hired a kitten with a bag of salt and watched it play on the seat all day.

　　"Employing a cat" requires a dowry gift, and Lu You's dowry gift is a bag of salt.

　　But in the Song Dynasty, if you wanted to adopt a puppy, it goes without saying that it was "hiring a dog". This reflects the subtle differences in the attitudes of people in the Song Dynasty towards cats and dogs.
