Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 573 What a shame

This pillow wind blows, which makes a lot of sense.

Zhou Banxia burst out laughing and quickly urged him to go to the bathroom to take a hot bath to get rid of the cold in time.

Seeing this, Gu Wenxuan said nothing and mentioned that the things he brought back had been given to Jiaxing to be sent to the small study, and then he followed Zhou Banxia's arrangements.

By the time he took off his robe and took his clean underwear into the bathroom, Jiaxing was already waiting in the front yard for Aunt Chang, the housekeeper in the west courtyard, who was his biological mother, Gu Dachang's daughter.

Aunt You Chang took the bundle handed to her by her son Jiaxing and held it up, leading the way. Behind her were two servants carrying a box.

After entering the hanging flower gate and passing through three small halls, the group did not go around the corridor to the west wing, but went directly through the courtyard to the study in the west wing.

When Zhou Banxia heard the maid's report, he went straight from the inner room of the warm room to the west wing room. Aunt Chang had already asked the maid to put away the box and leave.

As expected, inside the bundle was a food box with the Yunlaike sign engraved on it, as well as dough figurines, sugar figurines, clay whistles, diabolos, nine-ring toys and more.

The former was not prepared for her by Shopkeeper Wang, but was also what her husband planned to ask Jiaxing to go to Yunkelai to order before going home in the afternoon.

And the latter.

It is 100% that it is the escort agency that her family had mentioned before and that Yun Chengming not only returned to the county town recently, but also helped him collect toys.

Without thinking, Zhou Banxia picked out toys such as dough figurines, sugar figurines, clay whistles, diabolos, and nine-ring toys, and selected two of them regardless of thickness.

When I opened the food box, it was filled with cold dishes.

Bad goose feet and duck letters?

Shame on you.

The pine flower tripe and braised chicken in soy sauce were still fine, but if she hadn't mentioned the bad goose feet and duck intestines earlier, which are now noble side dishes, how could they appear at this moment?

Zhou Banxia quickly pointed out this dish and told Aunt Chang that she didn’t need to divide it into small portions. The rest could be the same as the two toys, with one portion each for the main courtyard and the east courtyard.

After Aunt Chang put the six cold dishes back into the food box, she carried the food box to the small kitchen for distribution in one hand, and carried a small bag containing two toys in the other hand out of the study.

Zhou Banxia didn't want to open the wooden box on the floor of the study.

Firstly, if she was not mistaken, this was the prop Xuanzi brought back for her to use for her secret attack; secondly, her belly was big and it was uncomfortable for her to squat.

Return to the inner room.

As expected, the door of the bathroom was bolted from the inside. The man in her house was afraid that she would misunderstand her and was determined to protect her chastity.

It goes without saying that even the small door leading to the boiler room must be bolted!

Zhou Banxia smiled silently, estimating the time he would go in. She didn't knock on the door, but simply moved a chair nearby and sat down next to the bathroom door.

"young married woman?"

"it's me."

"I know it's you."

None of the maids was so brave that they hid outside the door when they couldn't get in and tried to throw themselves into the man's arms.

Of course, it is obvious that his wife is still very rare. She follows him around as soon as he comes back.

"I'll be out soon."

“Don’t worry, soak it for a while longer, the effect of the medicine hasn’t worn off yet.

It will be ready to soak for another quarter of an hour. It will be time for dinner. If you are hungry, have a bite of cake first.”

"Before coming in, I had already drunk a bowl of ginger soup and ate two sweet cakes, so I'm definitely not hungry.

What did you have for snack in the afternoon?
Is there not enough food because there are too many people? When did your eldest sister come to our place?"

Gu Wenxuan put on his shorts while speaking, not bothering to put on his undershirt. He took the undershirt, shook it, and put it on while walking towards the door.

He wasn't worried about bumping into Zhou Banxia when he opened the door, as the door was pushed inward, but he still gave a reminder.

He was about to open the door and go out.

"So fast?" Zhou Banxia paused. "I was far away from the door, so she couldn't scare me. At noon, she went to your mother's place first, and then came to us.

At that time, there was still at least an hour before lunch, so not only was there a problem of not preparing enough afternoon snacks, but even lunch had to be prepared for her and her daughter.

I chatted with her and then took a nap for half an hour after lunch.

My mother and sister-in-law came before I woke up, so it's impossible that there were too many people and they were not well prepared."

Gu Wenxuan, who opened the door and came out, nodded to show that he understood, and then checked her complexion. Her face was white with a rosy glow, and there was no dark circles under her eyes.

"Are you satisfied?"

"It's okay. Just sit still first. How can I believe that you will keep your promise? I still feel uneasy leaving you alone at home."

Zhou Banxia shook his head with amusement, "I understand, but I don't agree.

I'm not a child and I can take care of myself.

Do you want me to help you tie the straps?"

"No need." Gu Wenxuan pulled with both hands swiftly, proudly, "Look, your man is so powerful.

Have you seen the box I brought back?"

“Not only the wooden box, but also a large baggage.

The wooden box has not been opened yet. It won’t be too late to check it after eating. But I opened the bundle.

I also picked out two toys and the cold dishes in the lunch box and asked Aunt Dachang to divide them and send them to the main courtyard and the east courtyard. What's the matter with the goose feet and duck intestines?"

"This?" Gu Wenxuan helped Zhou Banxia up. "This is not a recipe I came up with. I asked Shopkeeper Wang what the dish was called.
He reported a lot of things, including pickled goose feet and duck intestines, pickled pork, pickled chicken, pickled yellow croaker, pickled hairtail, pickled edamame, pickled peanuts, and much more.

In fact, these all belong to the category of braised and sauced dishes, which is not surprising.

Eating fermented grains is a custom from the pre-Qin period, which was recorded in "Chu Ci". After the Southern Song Dynasty, the custom of eating fermented grains became even more popular.

In Lin'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty at that time, there were snacks such as pickled lamb's trotters and pickled pork heads for sale.

That’s why the bad goose feet and duck intestines cannot become Yunkelai’s signature dish.”

"That's because Yunkelai has too many signature dishes."

Zhou Banxia subconsciously added a sentence, and after he finished speaking, he couldn't help but laugh, "How many times have you read "Chu Ci"?"

Gu Wenxuan teased, "You're so smart, I almost tore the book apart but you still guessed it.

There is one thing, are you planning to make vegetarian chicken and vegetarian ham?"

"Vegetarian chicken can be traced back to the time of Emperor Wu of Liang, and has been popular among the people since then, not in the Daliang of today.

Why did you suddenly bring this up? Does Shopkeeper Wang want to prepare vegetarian dishes?"

Gu Wenxuan laughed and shook his head, "Based on my understanding of you, spices are not easy for you to get involved with right now, and now that it's the end of the year, you must want to promote soy products."

"It's over, it's over. It's not necessary to expand it." Zhou Banxia waved his hands quickly, "It's just that the tofu shop was moved out, and they want to expand the variety of soy products.

For example, among the products currently on the market, or based on the records available, we should appropriately add a few more varieties. It is too simple to rely solely on bean curd for profit.

These ideas actually came up when we were planning to move the tofu shop.

It was just that the weather was hot and I was pregnant, so I just didn’t mention it.”
