high official

Chapter 87

After setting up his parents and sisters, Wang Xian and Wang Gui went back to Fuyang.

The Hou family has already moved to live in the Hou family's house, and the old lady is really clever, the Hou family does not object to this at all, and even hires a maid and a woman to take care of her.So this night, Wang Gui was going to live in the new house, he held Wang Xian's hand reluctantly and said: "Erlang, you two should come and live together..."

"There are regulations in the Yamen, I have to live in the official house." Wang Xian shook his head of course.

"Ah..." Wang Gui said with red eyes, "Yesterday we were a big family, but today we have to split into three. It's really uncomfortable..."

"When we part, there will be reunion. Don't worry, big brother," Wang Xian comforted big brother, "I will visit you from time to time." The two brothers bid farewell to each other at the pier, and then went their separate ways.

Wang Xian didn't go back to the old house anymore. When he went to Hangzhou, he had arranged for Shuaihui and Liu Erhei to help Lin Qing'er move the cage to the staff quarters.

When he returned to the dormitory, it was already dark, and Wang Xian saw that the lights in a row of courtyards were lit up, and thinking that one of them was lit for himself, his heart suddenly became warm and soft...

But when he saw his own yard, he was scared out of his wits... only to see a puff of smoke rising into the sky!

Someone set fire to it!He was so frightened that he rushed into the house like an arrow, and saw thick smoke coming from the kitchen, and when he looked carefully, it was Sister Lin who was actually lighting the fire...

Wang Xian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly pulled Sister Lin, who was coughing again and again, out of the kitchen, then stared blankly at the smoke-filled stove for a while, and finally escaped due to choking.He didn't set fire to it either, how would he know what to do?
Lin Qing'er's face was covered with black ash, her eyes were choked into peaches, seeing Wang Xian couldn't do anything, she was so anxious that she was about to cry...

Fortunately, at this time, a fat lady in the neighbor thought his house was on fire, so she came over to see what was going on, and took out most of the firewood in the stove, and then yanked the bellows a few times, and the smoke gradually diminished ...

The fat aunt turned her head, looked at the two of them like idiots, and said, "Why put so much firewood in there?"

Lin Qing'er was so ashamed that she hid behind Wang Xian, and Wang Xian laughed awkwardly: "I haven't cooked before, it's the first time I make a fire..."

The fat aunt didn't believe it: "She is so old, how can she know how to light a fire?"

"I used to eat ready-made ones at home." Wang Xian scratched his head, thinking whose wife is this, so stupid?Hurry up and humbly ask for the correct way to start a fire.

The fat aunt taught him the key to making a fire, remembering that she was still sitting on the pot, and told him not to light the house, so she walked away worried.

After seeing off the kind nagging aunt, Wang Xian turned around and saw Lin Qing'er sitting on the kitchen threshold with her knees hugged, sobbing softly.

"Sister, why are you crying?" Wang Xian walked over and sat down beside her.

"I'm useless, woo woo..." Lin Qinger sobbed with two snow-white tear stains on her Zhang Fei-like face, "Seeing that the house is packed and there are ready-made ingredients, I want to give you Cooking dinner." Maybe because she felt too shameful, she covered her face with her hands and said, "It turns out that I have been studying for a long time, but I forgot to learn how to make a fire..."

"Isn't this enough to learn?" Wang Xian smiled helplessly, and could only comfort him. "No one is born with..."

"Yeah." Sister Lin lifted her spirits, wiped her tears with the back of her hand, and said with a completely disfigured face: "You wait, I'll cook right away!"

"Forget it." Wang Xian quickly grabbed her and said, "It's a housewarming tonight, let's go to a restaurant to celebrate."

"Oh..." Lin Qing'er felt relieved when she heard this.She is not greedy, but she is too scared to cook.But thinking of my mother's instructions, I shook my head and said: "But my mother said, don't spend money indiscriminately."

"It's only natural for people to eat when they're hungry." Wang Xian said with a smile: "Besides, whoever I go to eat is to give him face, and who will take the money?" Then he pulled up Sister Lin and said, "Go and wash your face, Let's go to dinner."

"It's better not to eat for free, it's not easy for others to earn some money," Lin Qing'er said: "Besides, the future will be troublesome if you are unkind."

"Sister said so." Wang Xian laughed.

Lin Qing'er didn't say anything anymore, went into the room and washed her face, and when she came out she had already changed into men's clothing. Although it looked like Xibei at first glance, it was just for the convenience of going in and out, and it wasn't really to deceive people.

Wang Xian looked at this handsome young man and said with a smile, "It's really unique."

Lin Qing'er rolled his eyes at him, clasped his fists and said roughly: "Little brother Lin Qing, please tell me your name."

"My surname is Ni, and my name is Husband." Wang Xian answered with a smile.

"I just know to take advantage of others..." Lin Qing'er became coquettish and angry. Since the Song Dynasty, husband and wife have been called "husband and wife". Later, when Song Shi went south, this name was also passed to Hangzhou.

"Sooner or later." Wang Xian laughed, and went out holding hands with her, locked the courtyard door, and arrived at Yaqian Street in a few steps.

Yaqian Street is brightly lit and the night market is bustling. Of course, it is incomparable to Hangzhou. Lin Qing'er quickly pulled out her hand and asked, "Brother, where should we go for dinner?"

"Just this one." Wang Xian took her into a restaurant and said with a smile, "The three delicacies hot pot here is a must."

"Why don't you say that Wang Guanren is a connoisseur of food." Seeing Wang Xian, the chubby store owner hurried out from behind the counter and said with a smile on his face: "When the villain was a cook in Hangzhou, even adults from Taiwan I have eaten my three delicacies hot pot!" He is the elder brother of Zhu Dachang who bought meat, his name is Zhu Dayou, he used to be a cook in a restaurant in Hangzhou City, and later he saved some money and opened this restaurant when he returned to his hometown .Naturally, he repeatedly boasted about his cooking experience in the provincial capital.

By the way, Sima Qiu's concubine Ruhua is his and Zhu Dachang's sister...

"Just brag about it." Wang Xian pierced him and said, "I met Mr. Nei Si on the Lantern Festival, and he said he has always been a vegetarian."

"The villain is talking about the former director..." Boss Zhu replied with a smile, and the two of them burst into laughter.

After laughing, Boss Zhu invited Wang Xian to the private seat on the second floor. Everyone in this business has a bright eye.Naturally seeing that Lin Qing'er was a woman, she didn't ask any more questions and only talked to Wang Xian.

"Besides the hot pot, let's serve some side dishes." Wang Xian ordered: "Go next door and buy plum wine."

"The door next door is closed..." the store clerk said in a daze.

"Closing the door won't knock it open! They say that the officials want to drink, let them figure it out!" Zhu Dayu kicked the man down the stairs, and smiled at Wang Xian: "I just came here, I don't need to be trained. "Then I don't need a buddy, I bring the hot pot myself.

Hot pot is hot pot, but it is made of copper skin, with a big belly and thin legs, a well-polished lid, and flexible copper handles at both ends.Fuyang's specialty bamboo charcoal is burned under the pot.Bamboo charcoal is smokeless, which can avoid the embarrassment of smoky fire.

Zhu Dayou lifted the lid of the pot, and there was a layer of chicken, a layer of duck, and a layer of meat inside. They were all cut into neat long strips, and they were neatly arranged, and they were not scattered in the boiling fresh soup.In addition, there are winter bamboo shoots and shiitake mushrooms dotted in it, neutralizing the plumpness with lightness, which is the essence of Chinese cuisine.

Zhu Dayou served more than a dozen exquisite snacks and snacks. At this time, the plum wine also arrived, and the two of them started drinking in the hot pot. They didn't have to worry about going home late and the old lady would scold them after eating too much wine. Have fun.

After finishing the meal and going downstairs, Wang Xian smiled at Zhu Dayou, "How much is it?"

Zhu Dayou refused: "What money is not money, the officials come to the small shop to eat, it is to give the small shop face."

"You still have to pay." Wang Xian took out a pile of treasure bills from the bootleaf, and said with a smile, "One yard is worth one yard. If you don't charge money, I won't come to eat again."

"Look at what you said..." Zhu Dayou had no choice but to accept it reluctantly, and sent Wang Xian away from the shop.But I cursed in my heart, it doesn't matter if you pretend to be clean, I will send it to you tomorrow, let alone a door bag...

After walking away, Lin Qing'er suddenly smiled and said, "I thought you were going to eat the overlord's meal, but in the end it's not the same."

"Isn't that my sister taught me well?" Wang Xian grabbed her little hand with a smile and said, "How should I be rewarded?"

"I'll make you a hearty breakfast tomorrow..." Lin Qing'er laughed.

"Uh... that's great..." Thinking of Lin Qing'er's dark cooking, Wang Xian's stomach hurts.But in order not to dampen her enthusiasm, he felt that he should endure it silently.

Both of them had been busy all day, but when they went home and wanted to take a bath, they were dumbfounded. How could they take a bath without hot water?On weekdays, Wang Xian went to the bathhouse to take a bath, and he didn't feel inconvenient, but now the bathhouse is closed, and there is no women's bathhouse, so he can only wash at home...

Wide-eyed and small-eyed for a moment, Wang Xian slapped his thigh and said, "Boil the water!" There was a water tank in the yard, which was filled to the brim by Er Hei.There were still embers in the stove, adding firewood according to the fat aunt's method, Lin Qing'er lightly pulled the bellows, and sure enough, the fire was getting hotter and hotter, and the faces of the two were glowing red.

The two cheered like children.

Asking Lin Qinger to watch the fire, Wang Xian went to Westinghouse to find a bathtub.Although his nest is small, all the household appliances are the best that can be bought in Fuyang County, and they are all brand new.For example, this bathtub is made of newly felled and dried pine wood, with almost no scars. Wang Xian cleaned it with cold water and placed it in the main room.At this time, the water boiled, and Wang Xian picked up a bucket and poured it in, and a scent of pine wood rose.

He picked up another bucket of hot water and another bucket of cold water, stretched out his hands to test the water temperature, and said in a drawl, "Young lady, you can take a bath..."

Lin Qing'er had already looked for a change of clothes, blushed and pushed Wang Xian out, then locked the door and said, "No peeking."

Wang Xian was locked outside the house, only to see the silhouette of the beauty printed on the window by the light.Every move she took off her clothes could be seen so clearly, but she couldn't see anything.He was so anxious that he scratched his head and looked for cracks in the windows, but unfortunately, in order to please him, the people below paid a lot of money to ask a carpenter to re-open the doors and windows, so there was no gap.

Wang Xian remembered the scene on TV again, so he quickly wet his fingers with saliva, and stabbed at the window paper.Who knew that there were several layers of thick gauze on the window, which couldn't be pierced at all...
