Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 175 Calm
Ning Wan once heard that Han Xin could bear the humiliation of stepping down, and now Luo Bing is naturally a person who can bend and stretch. He once ascended the palace of the emperor, and now he lives in the most ordinary private house and talks with his mother and himself. , as the so-called Qianlong is in the abyss, I don't know when it will soar into the sky.

Ning Wan smiled and asked, "Well, I have nothing to do, I just wonder who the Liuyi layman is?"

"It's a literary master of the previous generation, named Ouyang Xiu, and his name is Liuyi Layman. This person has written many articles, and one of them tells the story of an oil seller..."

Although Ning Wan is literate, where did she read these articles?Therefore, my mother and I listened to the second place in the list and told them a few articles by Ouyang Xiu, especially when Luo Bing read them "The Drunkard's Pavilion". You didn’t learn to be a chef when you were young, so how could you teach so many books?”

"I learned cooking from my grandfather, but when I followed my father, I had to study, so I was barely considered a scholar."

Luo Bing had previously told her mother that he had learned cooking skills. Now that Ning Wan heard it with her own ears, she wondered if she should believe it, but she knew that if Luo Bing was not considered a scholar, then there would be no scholars in the world!She suddenly became curious about Luo Bing, but she also knew that it was not easy to ask a shrewd person, so she nodded with a smile, as if she believed him.

Niang smiled and said, "No wonder you can read the article so well!" Suddenly she remembered and asked, "Can you write?"

"Of course there will be some."

"My youngest son just went to school this year. My husband taught him how to write, but he just can't write very well. There is no one in the family who understands. Can you help teach him?"

"Of course it's easy," Luo Bing smiled slightly. Ning Wan never imagined that he would really agree to teach a Mongolian boy how to write. After all, he was the second best among ten thousand people back then!
"That's great!" Yu said with a smile, "I'll treat you to rice noodles another day, our Jiangnan rice noodles."

"I haven't eaten rice noodles for a long time," Luo Bing sighed, "the rule in our hometown is that when guests come, they make fried rice noodles."

"It's the same in our place!" Yu said hastily: "On weekdays, I don't want to eat rice noodles at home, and I only make it once when there are guests, so I remember that I only ate it a few times when I was young, and my family has lived well in the past two years. Well, I tasted the taste of rice noodles again, but now the rest of the family don’t like it very much, they would rather eat noodles.”

Ning Wan listened to the two talking about the things about her hometown in the south, she cut the noodles in silence, sprinkled them with dry noodles, shook them all, and seasoned them with shallots, pepper powder, ginger, etc. Saute until fragrant, add a large pot of water to boil.

First, a dozen or so poached eggs were beaten into it. When the water boiled again, the noodles were put in. When it was almost cooked, green vegetables, fungus, and seaweed were added and cooked at the same time.When it’s time to serve the noodles, first put an egg in the big bowl, then pick out the noodles and put them on top, then use a big spoon to fill up the soup, and finally cut the elbow meat from Piaoxiangju into large pieces and put it on top, sprinkle it on the Put chives and coriander on top, put chopsticks on it and put it in front of everyone.

This kind of noodles in mixed soup is very popular among Liaodong people. Compared with braised noodles, the taste is more fragrant, and the hot soup tastes warmer, and various meat, eggs, and vegetables can be added to the noodles, which is very rich.

Seeing her father eating noodles with Lu Tieshi, Luo Bing and others, Ning Wan quickly fried some vegetables and served them with noodles. Everyone hadn't eaten vegetables for a long time in the deep mountains, so they must love them.

The noodles added with buckwheat turned brown, and felt thicker in the mouth, very chewy, and had a unique flavor of buckwheat, which was much richer than ordinary noodles. Everyone was happy and full But he didn't put down the bowl, but filled the noodle soup to drink.The essence of mixed noodle soup is in the soup. The soup is no longer clear because the noodles have been boiled, and it is a little sticky after being mixed with flour, but the soup is full of the aroma of all the noodles, so everyone does not drink tea. , but drank up a large pot of noodle soup.

Lu Tieshi visited the Ning family when he first came back to Hutai County, and then he stationed outside the city, focusing on repairing the city wall.He dried the best and thickest wood and coated it with tung oil, then took off the iron leaves on the original city gates and rebuilt them, and then nailed them with copper nails, replacing four city gates that were already dilapidated one by one.

The new city gate is very strong, not easy to rot, and is not afraid of fire or arrows. It will play a very important role in the future when the barbarians attack the city.

But this is only a small part of Lu Tieshi's repair of the city wall. While building the city gate, he also used newly cut wood branches to burn bricks. In addition to replacing some of the damaged bricks on the city wall of Hutai County, he also used it in four places. Wengcheng was built outside each city gate, so that the most vulnerable city gate was greatly strengthened, that is, the barbarians broke through the outer city wall and entered the urn city——Ning Wan had seen it with her own eyes, and the barbarians who invaded were trapped. No one in the Wengcheng could escape.

In addition, he repaired arrow buttresses, female walls, turrets, archery towers, etc. In particular, he added several horse faces to the original city wall, that is, built square piles outside the city wall, which can make the original city wall, city gate The places where the inner arrows cannot be shot are completely controlled by the defenders, so that the entire city wall of Hutai County has no dead spots for defense, which is the most effective way to prevent the barbarians from attacking the city.

Therefore, from the outside, the city walls of Hutai County have not changed much, but in fact, Ning Wan, who has experienced that war, knows how much these changes have helped them defend against the attacks of the barbarians.Therefore, she often made meals at home and sent them to Lu Tieshi, and took out all the interest money she had saved for several years to buy ginger, brown sugar, etc., boiled ginger syrup, and sent them outside the city every day to give kimonos to the soldiers who repaired the city. The corvee men drink it.

It wasn't until the weather became colder and the ground froze that the work of repairing the city wall stopped. At this time, Ning Wan's wedding date was approaching - the 26th of Dongyue was an auspicious day for marriage. Lu Tieshi and his parents We set this time together.Ning Wan didn't object any more, her parents are in good health, and Shitou's studies can be regarded as good progress, and Dejufeng's business is managed by Xiaoliu, with a lot of money. As for her newly opened wine workshop, hundreds of jars of wine have been brewed. Just waiting to be sent to the shop for trial sale before the Chinese New Year, right now she has nothing else to do but prepare for marriage.

The closer the wedding date was, the calmer Ning Wan felt. She didn't know what a normal marriage would be like, and whether it was right for her to marry Lu Tieshi. After all, the Lu family is actually a complicated family. It is much more difficult to meet two aunts and mothers-in-law in the family, and Lu Tieshi is not a good husband, he is definitely not someone like his father who only wants to live a good life for his family.But she didn't know why she wasn't worried at all, maybe she still trusted Lu Tieshi!
For example, Miss Ding San, since she came to her home that time, there has been no news, and the Zhou family, which once disturbed Mrs. Wu's resignation from her home, has also been silent. She has never asked how Lu Tieshi settled these things, but Just believe that he will deal with it.

Therefore, when she saw Ning Qing, she felt a little fluctuated in her heart. After all, the second sister came to marry her.Although the two sisters broke up at the beginning and no longer communicate, they are still sisters after all.

On the surface, Ning Wan didn't mention Ning Qing anymore, but she had also quietly inquired about the second sister's news, so she knew that she did not return to Mayi Town, but continued to stay in Guapo Town.

The reason why Guapo Town is called Guapo is that there are stretches of melon gardens there. Ning Qing and Liu Wulang started the melon and fruit business when they were still in Dejufeng, and they only did this when they left home.They have a lot of capital and know how to manage it. The business is doing well. Many of the melons and fruits in the shops in Hutai County are trafficked by them. It is said that they have even managed the business in Anpingwei.

Now that Ning Qing's attire in gold and silver suits what she heard earlier, Ning Wan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If Ning Qing's life is not good, she will not feel guilty, but she will never be happy.

The mother saw that the two daughters did not speak for a while when they met, so she wiped away her tears and smiled again, "Anyway, it's been a long time since those things, so you should forget them all. Now Wan'er is about to get married too. In the future, you sisters should support each other."

Ning Qing accepted her mother's words with a smile, "No, I came here to deliver melons and fruits, and I didn't intend to go home, but when I passed by the streets of Hutai County, I couldn't help but come back. "As he said, he said again: "I also left two betel melons and fruits for the family. My mother asked everyone to eat them, and let everyone try something new."

After hearing this, my mother said, "Although you are in this business, don't you also need capital for the melons and fruits that come in? Just bring a few for the family to taste, why did you take two belen?" Although it was a complaint, she was still happy in her heart. Yes, I wiped my eyes with a handkerchief and went out to cut watermelon.

There were only two sisters in the room, so Ning Qing asked, "Where's dad?"

Ning Wan replied: "I have delivered food to the restaurant, he always goes out at this time."

Ning Qing nodded. She actually knew it, but she didn't know where to start asking, so she went on to say, "Didn't you invite Xiao Liu to be the shopkeeper? Why don't you let Xiao Liu deliver the food?"

"Actually, let the boy do the job of delivering food, but Dad just wants to walk around." It turned out that Xiaoliu took over the shop and it was not easy to bother Dad to do the work and wanted to change the boy, but Dad was used to running, and I am very familiar with the shopkeepers, so I still deliver the goods in person.

"It's true, even parents don't know how to greet business, so they can only do this kind of work." Ning Qing responded suddenly and said: "Wan'er, you should actually hire someone, so as not to make parents so old Still busy with things in the shop."

Obviously Ning Qing insisted on marrying herself, why did she change her mind now?Ning Wan's heart sank, I'm afraid Ning Qing didn't just want to go home and have a look.
