Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 235 Yunyun
Originally, Xu Deyong wanted to take his grandma and Xu Huizhen to Shichahai or Beihai to enjoy the moon.

Grandma didn't want to go, saying it would be better to be at home.

Xu Huizhen didn't have a strong will, so Xu Deyong just did it.

Nothing wrong, the atmosphere in the courtyard is pretty good.

Every family sat in the courtyard with benches or mats, admiring the moon and chatting.

As the saying goes, "The moon on the fifteenth day is sixteen round", Xu Deyong couldn't see it.

Similarly, if you go out to admire the moon in the courtyard, the difference will also be reflected.

Xu Deyong set out the folding round table he made and brewed a pot of tea. There were some snacks on the table.

Of course, the people in the courtyard were envious of the Jia family.

The conditions of Yi Zhonghai's family are naturally not bad, but He Yuzhu shamelessly came over to drink tea. He Yuzhu and Xu Huizhen whispered things that they could not say to their brother.

He Yuzhu took a sip from his porcelain teapot and said with a smile.

Qin Huairu said quickly: "Slow down, why are you running in such a hurry."

Yan Bugui's figure appeared at this time, and he greeted everyone with a smile and a formal expression: "The moonlight is perfect in the middle of autumn, the heaven and the earth are together this evening, everyone is reunited and healthy during the Mid-Autumn Festival!"

When Jia Dongxu saw that Yi Zhonghai couldn't pass, he could only twitch the corner of his mouth and said: "Well, you can drink it if you want, so don't be polite."

Xiao Li'er was held in Xu Nan's lap, but when she heard the sound of children running around outside, she glanced out and her calves kicked up and down, looking eager to try.

He Yuzhu grinned and said, "Hey, I'm just drinking your tea."

He is now following Yi Zhonghai's footsteps and has always wanted to become his master, but Yi Zhonghai has been vague every time, neither agreeing nor rejecting.

When a pair of eyes passes over Xu Deyong's house, a flash of envy will flash in their eyes.

Everyone also followed the idea and said hello.

The so-called "half-empty" refers to the small peanuts that have not grown well or are left over from picking. Because they are not fully developed and have empty shells, they are called "half-empty".

"No, wait until you feel better before eating, otherwise you will get a stomachache."

He Yuzhu showed a hint of sarcasm when he heard this and said: "I know."

In the past, hawkers would carry baskets and sell on the street, and they would shout: "It's half empty! Give me more..."

Xu Deyong also said politely: "Third uncle, have you drank?"

There were beads of sweat on Xiaobangjie's forehead, grinning and panting: "I ran... I ran very fast."

Jia Dongxu was eager to make a move after hearing this, and wanted to go over and have a few cups of tea.

Seeing that this guy was a bit pretentious, Xu Deyong couldn't help but smile and said: "I'll spare it now, just respect me."

Xu Deyong smiled and said nothing more, thinking: "This old man seems to be subconsciously wary of himself and doesn't want to owe any favors."

Yi Zhonghai glanced at Xu Deyong, smiled lightly and said, "Don't bother, I have it."

Qin Huairu was sitting on the pony, as if hanging in the air, and she was also peeling and eating, but she didn't eat much, but held the peanuts in the palm of her hand, apparently hoping to feed them to Xiao Banggeng later.

As he spoke, he applauded carelessly.

Xiaobanggan pouted unhappily, but he was also tired from running. He leaned on Qin Huairu and looked at the people in the courtyard with his eyes.

Yi Zhonghai said as if he were an elder: "It doesn't matter whether you are respectful or not, Zhuzi, you are not young anymore, work hard, pay for the rain to finish school, and keep your mouth shut, don't blame the sky and the earth all day long, especially if there is no one to stop you." It’s in the factory.”

"I'm making tea here. There's still room. Come and have a drink." Xu Deyong said casually. It's a big festival and it's just a pot of tea. It's not as good as everyone's enjoyment to enjoy it alone.

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu was the first to say happily: "Hey, otherwise I must be the third uncle. He is educated and can speak well. Everyone is going to chirp."

As he said this, his eyes kept looking at the small table.

If he could take Yi Zhonghai as his disciple, his status in the factory and the courtyard would be mentioned.

"I'll eat it now."

Mrs. Jia Zhang secretly rolled her eyelids and ate the "mid-air" in her hand like a fat chicken.

At this time, the little stick trotted back, tripped and almost fell.

Apparently it goes in the left ear and out the right ear.

He Yuzhu said carelessly: "The third uncle is very particular."

"Hey, this scented tea tastes authentic."

Yan Bugui smiled and said, "I just drank it at home."

Qin Huairu pulled him into her arms and said, "You can run as fast as you can. Take a rest and mom will peel the peanuts for you."

He Yuzhu glanced at it, curled his lips disdainfully, turned his eyes around Qin Huairu, smacked his lips deliberately and said: "Well, good tea, Deyong, sir, on this reunion night, I will offer you a cup of tea instead of wine." , thank you for taking care of me.”

Yan Bugui said with a smile: "Hey, since Deyong said it, the third uncle can't help but give me face. I'll go home and get the tea cup later. I've drunk the tea. I can't trouble you to rinse the cup again."

If he could walk by himself, he would have run out long ago.

"Papa..."

After being stir-fried with spices, salt, etc., it also has a special flavor. Because the quality is not good and the price is low, they are mostly snacks for ordinary children.

When He Yuzhu came over, Xu Deyong simply invited: "Master, Dongxu, come over and have a cup of scented tea together?"

Yan Bugui quickly left and returned, holding his own enamel tea cup.

Xu Deyong picked up the teapot and poured it in.

Yan Bugui tapped the table three times with his index and middle fingers to express his gratitude.

There is also a way to do this. If you look closely, the index finger and middle finger should be bent and tapped on the table.

There is a legend here that Qianlong paid a private visit in disguise and pretended to be a follower. When he was pouring tea for his servants, the servants could not kneel down in front of the court, so they used their index and middle fingers instead of their legs to make a kneeling shape. Apologize. I really don’t know if this story is true or not, so it’s not quite true!

Yan Bugui picked up the tea and said, "Well, this tea smells delicious. I'd like to have a taste of your good tea."

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "It's not a good tea, so you can just drink it."

There wasn't much water in the white porcelain teapot, so he kicked He Yuzhu gently and teased: "I don't have any eyesight. I didn't add any water when the third uncle came."

He Yuzhu was blowing the hot air happily, when he heard the old god said: "Rain, bring the thermos bottle from home."

He Yuyu rolled his eyes after hearing this, but in front of so many people, he still showed respect to his brother and went into the room to bring out a thermos bottle to fill the teapot with water.

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "Yu Yu is still diligent. Yu Yu wants to drink tea and pour it himself, so don't be polite."

He Yuzhu gained face and grinned: "Yes, don't be polite. There is no shop like this after passing this village. It will not be easy to kill this guy for a while."

Seeing his brother's stupidity, He Yuyu didn't want to talk to him.

Xu Deyong said: "If you are as diligent as you are in cleaning the rain, you won't have no one to match you."

He Yuzhu said impatiently: "Okay, okay, you're right. It's a big holiday, don't mention this, drink tea, drink tea, please add more tea, otherwise it will be tasteless."

Yan Bugui took a sip and said, "Well, it's good tea, but it's not cheap to drink."

Xu Nanshi teased Xiao Li'er and secretly rolled her eyes when she heard this.

Jia Dongxu couldn't help but swallowed his saliva on the side, but he had already said the words before, and he was too embarrassed to talk about it now.

When Xiaobanggan heard this, he blinked and said, "Mom, I want to drink tea too."

Qin Huairu's face was slightly serious and she said: "Banggen, don't ask for anything casually." Jia Zhang couldn't help but whisper in a low voice: "Just a little tea, don't sound serious."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu smiled and beckoned: "Come, come, Banggan, Uncle Zhuzhu will pour you some, it's delicious."

Seeing this, He Yuyu hesitated to speak. This is brother Deyong's tea. He hasn't spoken yet. What does his silly brother say?
However, when he saw Xu Deyong still smiling, he thought that it was Brother Deyong who was so arrogant.

Xiaobanggan broke away from Qin Huairu and wanted to go home to get the cup. Qin Huairu quickly followed and found an enamel cup that had lost its porcelain.

Xiaobanggan ran over with the enamel cup and placed it on the table.

"Wow."

He Yuzhu poured half a cup.

Xiaobanggen followed the example of an adult and blew, then hesitated and said, "Thank you, Uncle Deyong."

"Yes." Xu Deyong nodded and said, "Drink, drink slowly."

He Yuzhu teased him: "Hey, Banggan, why didn't you say thank you to me for the tea I poured for you?"

Xiaobanggan glanced at him and said, "It's not your tea, it's Uncle Yong's."

He Yuzhu smiled and said: "Hey, you are not stupid."

Xiaobanggan said: "You are stupid, you are Silly Zhu."

He Yuzhu: "..."

"Hahaha..." Everyone suddenly became happy after hearing this.

The smile on He Yuzhu's face disappeared and he said angrily: "Little bastard, if you dare to call me that again in the future, I won't spank you."

When Mrs. Jia Zhang heard this, she raised her head and saw that everyone was laughing. She swallowed the words that came to her mouth and just snorted, neither serious nor serious.

"Liaoluuluo..." Xiaobanggan stuck out his tongue and hid behind Xu Deyong and said: "They all call it that, silly Zhu."

Qin Huairu also said with a smile: "Banggen, you can't be so rude."

Xiaobanggan pouted and took a sip of tea happily. He turned around and saw Xiaoli'er looking at him with grape-like eyes, as if he was blessed. He raised the tea cup and said, "Sister, drink."

Xu Nan also smiled and said, "Well, my sister is still young, so you can drink."

"Oh." Xiaobangjie responded.

Xu Huizhen still liked the little BangGeng with a tiger head and a tiger head. She touched his head and thought that there was a boy in her belly. She said, "BangGeng is quite well-behaved."

Then he took out a small piece of snack and gave it to him.

"Thank you, Auntie." Xiaobanggan said happily.

Yan Bugui narrowed his eyes slightly and thought: "Where have the children at home gone? They don't know how to come here for such a good opportunity to celebrate the festival. Even a cup of tea costs one or two cents outside."

Hey, rounding up, I feel like I’ve lost another dime.

He Yuzhu suddenly remembered and said a little strangely: "Why didn't I see Xu Damao? This grandson came out long ago and made a fuss."

Yan Bugui drank tea leisurely and said: "I'm going out. The whole family will go out in the afternoon. They should go outside to enjoy the moon."

He Yuzhu said: "What I'm saying is that this grandson went out to admire the moon and looked at him. We can't burn him in the courtyard."

Everyone chatted while admiring the moon.

Xu Huizhen was pregnant and fell asleep early, so the family did not stay outside much. After a simple offering ceremony, they packed up and went into the house.

Without the free tea, He Yuzhu and Yan Bugui also patted their butts and went back, and soon everyone else returned home one after another.

When the eldest mother returned home, she couldn't help but said: "Lao Yi, you see, Zhu Zhu and the third uncle are going over to have tea. De Yong invites you, why don't you go over?"

Yi Zhonghai said: "I don't need his tea."

The eldest mother said: "You said you are a person, but others don't say you are lacking. Are you still prejudiced against Deyong because of what happened before?"

Yi Zhonghai said a little irritably: "Okay, just clean up the house, don't worry about other things."

The eldest mother still couldn't help but said: "You see how nice the Yong couple are. They are good people and do things well, and they are filial. You can't be stubborn."

Yi Zhonghai said: "No matter how good they are, that's their business. Needless to say, Xu Huizhen, Xu Deyong has never convinced us uncles from the beginning to the end, let alone being of the same mind as the courtyard."

The eldest mother said: "Have we ever had the same wish in our courtyard? It's all just wishful thinking on your part."

Yi Zhonghai said impatiently: "You are a woman, what do you know? I don't want to quarrel with you during the holidays."

The eldest mother sighed and said nothing more...

……

Yan will leave tomorrow, and autumn is approaching this time.

A few days after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the autumnal equinox has arrived.

During the feudal period, sacrifices were held every spring equinox, summer solstice, autumnal equinox and winter solstice.

The places of worship correspond to the Temple of Heaven, the Temple of Earth, the Temple of the Sun, and the Temple of the Moon in the capital.

The places of worship in the capital are said to be "five altars and eight temples".

During the autumnal equinox in our country, there are interesting customs such as erecting eggs, eating autumn vegetables, giving autumn cattle, and sticking sparrows in their beaks.

As the saying goes, "When the autumnal equinox arrives, eggs will look pretty." Legend has it that it is easiest to stand up eggs on the day of the autumnal equinox, which best reflects the beauty of balance in the autumnal equinox.

"Autumn vegetables" is what people call "Qiubihao"

In the past, when the autumnal equinox came, everyone went to pick autumn vegetables, and they shouted, "Autumn soup fills the internal organs and cleanses the liver and intestines. The whole family, young and old, is safe and healthy."

It was the weekend, and the leaders were meeting too far away from ordinary people. What they focused on was three meals a day.

Digging autumn vegetables is naturally indispensable to the Xu Nan family. Xu Deyong simply took his family out to dig autumn vegetables and "go to the autumn" by the way.

This made Xiao Li'er happy. When he got to the fields outside the city, he was not allowed to be hugged. He had to be helped to walk by himself. He even learned to pull the leaves, which was so cute and cute.

When the little one is around, going out is indispensable and fun.

After returning home, she sent grandma home, and she was busy picking vegetables, and asked them to come back in the evening to drink "autumn soup."

Xu Deyong naturally agreed, and after lunch, he took Xu Huizhen and his wife back to the tavern, as his wife had to go to work.

I met Mr. Niu wandering around near the tavern.

"Master Niu, what are you busy with?" Xu Deyong greeted.

Mr. Niu smiled and turned the cricket cage in his hand and said, "Hey, I caught a cricket to play with."

"Then you are really good at playing." Xu Deyong said with a smile.

Mr. Niu said with great interest: "You are young and don't understand. This is the season for fighting crickets. It can't be too early because the crickets will not be mature. In the past, I would bring dry food to Xishan and Beishan to get the crickets."

The so-called "bravely fighting the three autumns" refers to the three solar terms of white dew, autumnal equinox and cold dew.

Dou crickets are all male, and the average cricket weighs about six centimeters.

In the past, weights were weighed for fair competition, and there was no fight if there was even a slight difference in weight.

Hey, it’s so particular!
