A leisurely life in ancient times

Chapter 1468
"The construction of the upper pond has been completed?" Lang Mo asked in surprise, putting down the documents in his hand.

Jiang Qing nodded and said, "The project was completed yesterday, and Evna asked her family to come to Qingling to deliver wedding invitations. Do you have time to visit tomorrow?"

The forest elves and Qingcheng reached an agreement, and the entire Shangtang area was assigned to the forest elves.Over there, outsiders are not allowed to enter and leave at will unless necessary, and the level of strict governance is not much different from that of the Wind Chasing Area. The main purpose is to avoid conflicts between outsiders and the forest elves.The forest elves have been retiring from the world for a long time, and even getting in touch requires a gradual process. Evna knows this better than Jiang Qing. Retiring from the world for too long makes the forest elves too naive, which is good and bad at the same time.

Inevitably, something happened, and there was a blockade of Shangtang District.

"Go and have a look." Lang Mo said.Shangtang District is adjacent to the east of Xuelong Ridge, which is also considered to be in the same direction as the previous mangrove swamp, which is convenient for the forest elves to enter and exit the forest.

"It's almost the end of the year, why haven't Didison and the others come back?" Jiang Qing worried.Counting the time, it has been more than half a month since Langtu and the others set off for the mangrove swamp.Seeing it, it's New Year's Eve.It was a long time since they came back, not only Jiang Qing was a little anxious, but Qing had been to Qingcheng from Taoyuan several times in these years.

Lang Mo said: "It's likely that the little ones went crazy playing outside and don't want to come back."

For Lang Rui and his own children, how could Lang Mo not guess what they were thinking.Kong and Langtu had a slightly stronger sense of responsibility, while Lang Rui and Jiang Yao, Langshou and the brats absolutely wished they could stay outside and not come back.Compared with the rules and regulations in Qingcheng, Jiang Yao, who was raised free-range since childhood, can't bear it.

"How about asking Lance to bring him back?" Jiang Qing hesitated.If he didn't come back, Qing Langlie might have to worry again.

"It's okay, they will come back in a day or two." Lang Mo shook his head and asked, "You said you want to make Laba porridge, are you ready?"

He had heard Jiang Qing mention this Laba porridge several times, and it was rare this year that he had time to spare, so Lang Mo asked about it naturally.

"Laba porridge should be cooked on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, and it's already the New Year..." Jiang Qing rolled her eyes and said.How good must Lang Mo's memory be to still think about Laba porridge after such a long time?Even if I miss it, it's been a long time, okay?
Lang Mo froze, blushing flashed across his handsome face, he coughed twice and said, "Then... can't we cook Laba porridge now?"

Hearing Lang Mo's aggrieved voice, Jiang Qing's heart instantly softened.At the beginning of winter, they were busy dealing with various matters in Qingcheng and Yubei, so they didn't have the time to make a fuss about food.It's hard to clear up the matter of the New Year's goods and free up time.

"Here, why don't I cook Laba porridge for you in Xiaonian?" Jiang Qing whispered.Just as Lang Mo hated her being wronged, she also hated Lang Mo being unhappy.

"Really?" Lang Mo said excitedly, his eyes lit up.

Rather than looking forward to Laba porridge, Lang Mo enjoyed Jiang Qing's care for him.

That kind of concern without any intention made him addicted.

"Really, after the matter at Shangtang of the forest elves is over tomorrow, I will soak the yellow rice or something in the evening, and start cooking Laba porridge when I am young." Jiang Qing said seriously: "By the way, you said Simply let everyone in Qingcheng cook Laba porridge together?"

"Yes, tell Leiding about this tomorrow." Lang Mo nodded.

The New Year's goods matter has been notified, and every household in Qingcheng has prepared the New Year's goods.For some poorer families, Qingcheng will prepare a simple New Year's gift and distribute it door to door.Of course, these New Year's goods are not free, they need to be exchanged for labor.

From the current point of view, the atmosphere in Qingcheng is very good.

Although it can't reach the level of not picking up lost items on the road and not closing the door at night, due to Qian Langkui's iron and blood policy, the law and order in Qingcheng is much better than that in Shangyang City.

Perhaps, in the future, it is not impossible to not pick up lost items on the road and not close the account at night.

The night passed quietly.

In the morning, the cool cold wind brushed past.

Yesterday afternoon, there was a light snowfall in Qingcheng.The white snow on both sides of the street has not yet melted, and the sky is still early, but the city is alive.The vendors shouted one after another, and the smell of food in the wind made pedestrians stop and look around.

"Are you hungry?" Lang Mo asked.

This morning, the two of them got up early and walked down from Qingling without eating.

It was rare to have free time to walk around in Qingcheng, and the two of them walked slowly on the wide street.

"A little bit." Jiang Qing rubbed her belly lightly, and said, "There seems to be a mutton restaurant in front, let's try it—"

In winter, it tastes great to drink a bowl of hot mutton soup and eat a few pancakes.

With that said, Jiang Qing pulled Lang Mo and walked towards the mutton restaurant.It's not a restaurant, it's just a street vendor, with fragrant steam overflowing from the boiler, with three or four people sitting or standing beside it.Rubbing his hands, he waited for the owner of the vendor to scoop up the soup and prepare the baked pancakes.

"Shop, two bowls of mutton soup, three meat pies and two vegetarian cakes." Jiang Qing said.He sat down on the chair that Lang Mo had pulled out, and the morning fog hadn't dissipated yet, the crowds of people walking on the street gradually increased, and the noise became very lively.

"Okay, two bowls of mutton soup, three meat pies and two vegetarian cakes." The store owner is a tall and strong man, and he is probably married to the petite woman who is making pancakes next to him.The movements are tacit, and you can tell at a glance that you have done it countless times.

"Shopkeeper, is your business doing well?" Jiang Qing asked lightly.After receiving the mutton soup and pancakes, they chatted while eating.

"It's okay, I can support a family." The man said happily: "Qingcheng lives comfortably, and there are no other troubles. We only need to pay ten copper coins a day for this stall, which is more economical than renting a shop..."

The man can speak eloquently, but it is obviously a trivial matter of daily accounts.After he said it out of his mouth, the passers-by next to him were amused, and they all sat down and chit chatted.It's nothing more than talking about their own trivial matters of life.All good things, though.Jiang Qing and the others listened and memorized, occasionally giving some advice from the sidelines.

"... I heard that Jiang Qing and Langmo will celebrate the New Year in Qingcheng, and they will appear at Qinglou at that time..."

"That's right! I've also heard about this. Jiang Qing and Langmo will celebrate the New Year with everyone in Qinglou after noon on New Year's Eve."

"I've been to many towns and cities, and I haven't heard of New Year's Eve... and those solar terms, but I feel that after having these solar terms, life has hope."

"That's right, I'm thinking of taking over my family after the Chinese New Year. As long as I work hard here, I won't starve to death. The world is too chaotic, so I'd rather live comfortably in Qingcheng."

……

Jiang Qing Langmo's heart was burning at the sound of the dialogue full of vigor.
