Teach my brother-in-law

There are star anise, tangerine peel, chili, ginger and garlic, etc., which have been put into the pot by the master chef to cook the soup.

"Master Zhou, this is for braised pork. Little Master Zhou, can you show me your knife?" Xiaocai stood by and asked. It turned out that both the old master and the young master were surnamed Zhou.

"Well, add more firewood to make the fire flourish." Old master Zhou said to the fireman. "Xiao Zhou, go and wash this pot of rice, and put it in the outermost pot to rinse." Old Master Zhou said with a pipe of shredded tobacco.

Xiao Zhou is Master Zhou's apprentice, but a distant relative. After hearing this, Xiao Zhou went out with a big wooden basin. Bai He followed out curiously, to see how rice is made for so many people in this age. , estimated to be steamed.Bai He's guess was correct. Xiao Zhou put the washed rice into the pot. The water in the pot was already boiled, but the rice started to become white foam not long after it was put into the pot, and soon the rice grains began to expand. It was almost the same. The old master Zhou came over, holding a big wooden bucket and a big spoon in his hand. After filling all the rice into the wooden bucket, he changed the water in the pot, put the wooden bucket into the pot, and put a wooden lid on it. , A handful of firewood was added under the stove, and Xiao Zhou walked away to do other things.

"Sister Bai He, what are you looking at, this rice tastes delicious." Xiaocai said with a smile.

This is the case in the countryside. Things pay attention to real materials. For a meal like this, as long as the host has some money, the food must be managed well. Drinks, tobacco, and tea are constantly served on it. Before evening, the villagers They left the yard one after another, and now they have to go to every house in the village to invite people over, especially Lu'er's mother-in-law for her birthday.Everyone in the village should show some face, after all, there are not many people in Xiushan Pass who can make money and succeed in doing business.

In this way, in the evening, folks from the village kept coming into the courtyard, and a few tables were set up in the inner hall, which were specially for the host's family to invite people with reputation and status in the village, and there were running water mats outside, next to the two stoves Another door panel was set up, which was specially reserved for the little children in the village, and the amount of food was added.Take the biggest bowl.

Lu'er didn't know when she arrived, she just stayed in the house, even Bai He didn't pay attention.

Of course Yun'er didn't come with me today, after all, it wouldn't be a good thing for the two to meet at this time.

Another person came back in a hurry, went into the kitchen and took out two pine oil lamps, which were made of sun-dried forest firewood dipped in pine oil and lit.It was so hot that it lit up the whole yard.

A group of children had already occupied the door panel table next to the steaming rice and pork meat stove at some point, each of them was beating the bowl with chopsticks, running around from time to time, or playing hide-and-seek, or hiding in the dark to pretend to be scary, or Squat behind the kitchen stove and watch the chef swing the spoon.Steal a piece of meat or a piece of fish from the basin now and then.

People's voices are boiling, and they are shuttled back and forth.How lively.

Bai He has been looking for Lu'er, but it's a pity that she hasn't seen her until now. Fortunately, after waiting for a while, Lu'er, led by her father, came out to celebrate Grandma Wang's birthday, and now she finally saw her people.

It's just that Lu'er has lost so much weight, her eye circles are sunken, and her face is even paler.With a haggard face.

What's the matter with her, why is she like this.

Bai He couldn't help feeling sad.In fact, Bai He somewhat understood that Lu'er might have been hurt, and the hurt came from Lin Zizhong and Yun'er.

With the help of the villagers, Granny Wang's birthday ended happily. Of course, Bai He kept walking up and down, but she didn't talk to Lu'er for two days.

In the early morning of the next day, Bai He still got up early and headed towards the back of the village.The air in the back mountain is very good, a small stone path passes by, stepping on the stone slab, a burst of coolness spreads to the soles of the feet, winter has come, the leaves are slightly cold and the wind blows quietly, and the white lotus walks up lightly. Bai He has always wanted to chat with Lu'er, but Lu'er always uses one or another excuse to avoid her.

Picking up the ladder and finally reaching the top of the back mountain, I saw a girl standing on a protruding rock on the top of the mountain, looking up into the distance, she was Lu'er, and she should have been on the top of the mountain for half an hour.

"Lu'er, why are you here? In such a cold morning, are you cold?" Bai He asked softly.

"Sister, you're here." Lu'er didn't move, but turned half of her body and replied.

"Lu'er, it's already late winter. It's so cold, what are you doing here so early in the morning? It won't be convenient to go out in a few days. Lu'er, why are you avoiding me and getting angry with me?" Bai He asked again.

The early winter sun slowly rose, pulling the figures of the two far, far away.

"Sister, don't ask any more questions. I just feel uncomfortable. Sister, don't worry. It will be fine in a few days."

"Because of Lin Zizhong, because of Yun'er, is that so?" Bai He took Lu'er's hand and laughed softly, these little girls are always so easy to fall into such hazy feelings.

Lu'er intends to run away from home, the farther the better, leaving here, Lu'er does not know why she has such an idea.After chatting with Bai He once, Lu'er planned to leave here, or go to a strange place to stay for a few days.

If you can't bear it, then don't stay here. Lu'er decided to prepare to run away tomorrow, and take the opportunity to leave the day after tomorrow. This is not to be sorry to her father and mother-in-law, but Lu'er thinks that going out for half a year or so will not affect it.

Having made up her mind to go, Lu'er began to think about the preparations before leaving. First, she must have money, otherwise she would starve to death in three days. In addition, she must have a place to go?You can't run outside without a goal. The third is the safety on the road, how to walk, there are some vendors on the road, can you follow them, and how to avoid tracking at home.In addition, I will definitely explain to Sister Bai He about the account, otherwise it will not be a good thing if my sister blames it.

With this preliminary idea, Lu'er began to plan, and Yinzi was enough.The big question is where to go?This is Lu'er's most troublesome problem. Chang'an City, Qinzhou City, no, it makes people feel sad, going south to Yangzhou City, Hangzhou City is a good choice.There are green mountains and green waters, and both cities are metropolises, very far away from Ningzhou, I believe they can't find themselves, and Lu'er really wants to see the big cities in the south, where the big hermits are hidden in the city and the vast crowds In Yangzhou City, is there anyone in the family who can find me?

Lu'er couldn't help feeling complacent, the route has been established, then go to Yangzhou City to find a small shop, do some small business, earn a little money to spend, life will be fine when the time comes, as for the safety issue on the road, it's easy to say, Ningzhou also has shops The team went to Yangzhou City and Hangzhou City, and there were many caravans passing from Qinzhou, so just follow one of the caravans, and stand still after arriving there.

Lu'er is very yearning for the future life.

After considering everything clearly, Lu'er slept peacefully, but Lin Zizhong's appearance reverberated in his mind from time to time, he was still so handsome, still standing at the door looking at him affectionately, gently Called Luer.

Lu'er, don't leave, the Yan family really needs you now, if you leave, the family will collapse.

Lu'er, let's go, I didn't expect you to be such a woman, it's too scary, let's go, the farther the better, I don't want to see you.

Lu'er, you will depend on yourself for the rest of your life. Your mother-in-law is not in good health. I will help you take care of your mother-in-law.

Lu'er woke up from a dream, only to find that she was covered in sweat after waking up, and the person in the dream seemed to have just walked away from the bed and floated into the distance.

what should I do?Who can tell me, pity me, a weak woman, how will I survive here?

Lu'er lay powerlessly on the bed, looking at the darkness outside the window, her thoughts flew far away.

Night came quietly, the village slowly restored the tranquility of the night, Lu'er pushed open the door, but fortunately, Grandma Wang was already asleep, and there was no moon in the sky at this time, everything was so dark, Lu'er Carrying the package, he leaned against the wall and walked towards the back door. As long as he went out of that door, the sky outside would be vast.Gently pushed open the back door, the handyman that Lu'er's father sent to guard the door fell asleep somewhere, and Lu'er walked out.

A black shadow quickly disappeared before Lu'er's eyes, and Lu'er, who was already panicked, almost screamed, why is there still someone here at the back door so late?

But all this does not affect Lu'er's idea of ​​running away from home. After looking around, Lu'er stepped out of the back door and walked quickly to the left. Not far from the village, turn left and walk two miles, and you will arrive at In the town, there is still a horse-drawn carriage shop in the town at this time, and the caravan from the winery is coming and going.

At this time, the merchants were on their way, and Lu'er hoped to find a caravan headed to Hangzhou City, Yangzhou.

On the Qingshiban road in Qibei Town, which is quiet at night, a woman ran softly all the way towards the market, and 200 meters behind her, a man in black followed closely. Who is the man in black?No one knows.

Lu'er didn't expect that she would be so courageous in such a dark environment, and she still trotted all the way. Seeing the lights of a caravan traveling at night not far ahead, Lu'er slowed down, squatting on the side of the road panting .

At dawn, there were people coming and going in the Ningzhou market. They were all vendors who came from all over the country to stock up. At the door, a horse team of vendors began to walk out. This was the caravan leaving Ningzhou after loading up the goods.

Lu'er stood at the door, and kept asking the horse team at the gate of the market if there was any horse team in the area of ​​Hangzhou, Yangzhou, but after a dozen or so horse teams, none of them rushed in that direction. A shopkeeper of the horse team told Lu'er , There are relatively few vendors going to Yangzhou City and Hangzhou City. Occasionally, people come here to buy goods, but they leave in the early morning when they leave. They won’t wait so long. If you want to drop by, wait a few days, maybe there will be a horse team go through.

Lu'er was in a hurry now, but she didn't know why she had to go to Yangzhou and Hangzhou. She watched the market gradually quiet down, and the sky turned fishy white. It was almost dawn, so she could only sit weakly. When I got to the side of the market, on a stone, did God really want me to stay? (To be continued.
