Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 195
Ning Wan blushed when she heard this, "Brother Luo asked me, of course I couldn't help talking nonsense, but now I also want to ask Brother Luo for advice. Although I can read a few words, I can't see a kitchen shop. There are some books of sages and sages, but I can’t read them anyway, I only like to read some legendary stories, but what should I do?”

Luo Bing just laughed, "Legendary tales are what everyone loves, so it doesn't matter if you read them, and it doesn't matter if you can't read those grievous things. If you want to make progress, just pick a few history books and read a few. It's different, the first "Historical Records" is a must-read, if you can read it well, you can also read "Spring and Autumn" and "Warring States" all the way down."

"How can you read it?"

"The first time you read history is often to watch the excitement, and you know what new and interesting things happened at that time; this is not enough, you have to read it carefully to understand why these things happened; but it is not enough at this time, you have to read it again. I realized the truth from it, and now I can barely figure it out." Seeing that Ning Wan listened seriously, she nodded again and said, "These books are all available, you just need to read them from him."

After returning home, Lu Tieshi gave Ning Wan a set of "Historical Records", and said to her with a smile: "Brother Luo has praised you again and again, and you can see the big details in the subtleties. .”

Ning Wan said: "He just boasted a few words at will, so you believe it? I was just talking nonsense at the time, but it is true to take the opportunity to ask him for advice."

"It would be good for you to ask Brother Luo for more advice. The Luo family has a very strong literary style and a large collection of books at home. He also has the ability to memorize extensive knowledge. Not only the imperial examinations, but also the art of war, folk customs, geography, and astronomy. Every time I have If you don’t understand, just ask him.”

"Today he told me that the way to read history is very good." Although Ning Wan can read, no one has ever told her these truths, so she sat at the table with Tie Shi that night and opened the book page by page to read. .I also saw that there were many annotations on it, which were actually written by Tieshi when he was studying, and he read them one by one. Although he was a little puzzled, he refused to ask now. She had to read it carefully twice before speaking!
Lu Tieshi saw that Ning Wan was very cute when he was serious about studying, so he laughed, "Brother Luo said that you took the opportunity to persuade him to wait for the time and not to worry. You also said that you are like the red girl who knows talents with eyes, but I have already become a Li Jing, he has no choice but to be a bearded man!"

Ning Wan also laughed, "At that time, I mentioned that I had read the legendary storybook, and he just made fun of it!"

"Although it's a joke, it's true that brother Luo values ​​you. He rarely admires people so much on weekdays."

"But he admires you!"

Lu Tieshi just laughed, "I have received many teachings from him, even my handwriting was pointed out by him. Of course, he has relied on my protection to live until now. Now we are like brothers."

In fact, he is closer than Lu Tieshi's brothers!
After reading "Historical Records" for a few days, Ning Wan felt that Luo Bing was very well-informed. This book was not difficult to understand, and there were even few words she didn't know. Come on, I really can't bear to let it go.

Early in the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, I decided to go back to Lu’s old house. On the 22nd, Ning Wan brought Bai’s and a large bowl of noodles, mixed a large bowl of sauerkraut and pork stuffing to make dumplings, made a total of more than a dozen curtains, and put them outside the house. .

After all the dumplings were made, Ning Wan took Bai's to deliver the dumplings to the next door, and said to Luo Bing with a smile: "These dumplings have been frozen and can be put on New Year's Eve. You can take them out when the time comes." It’s very easy to cook and eat for everyone.”

Luo Bing just laughed, "A few years in Liaodong, I have already learned how to make dumplings, so why bother my younger siblings!"

"Even if you know how to make it, it's still yours. The dumplings I made are my heart."

What a smart person Luo Bing is, he immediately agreed and even changed his address, "Okay, I will cook the dumplings made by the young lady for everyone in the evening at [-]." Tie Shi's subordinates expressed their goodwill.

Although Ning Wan wants to be friendly with Tie Shi's comrades, she is not in a hurry to please them, but because she really likes them because of her special experience, and feels that most of these people are alone in the army. I am afraid I will be homesick, so I made dumplings and delivered them before leaving.Although she felt that Luo Bing had misunderstood a little, she didn't want to explain. We still got along for a long time, and we saw people's hearts after a long time.

The two said a few more words, and Ning Wan smiled and said, "I'm leaving first, and I have to pack up my things for the New Year with my mother-in-law." Fang was about to go out, but she saw the young lady of the Yang family walking over with her younger sister , the two sisters were holding basins in their hands, and the basins were full of clothes, which had just been washed, and stopped when they saw Ning Wan.

A few days ago, Mrs. Yang did not bring Miss Yang to Mrs. Zhao's dinner, but Ning Wan knew this girl long ago. Since Tieshi came back from Duolun, she often came to help everyone wash their clothes. On the surface, she helped everyone, but in fact It was she who had other thoughts about Tieshi.Others may not know it, but Ning Wan knew it long ago!
Miss Yang doesn't like to do housework at home. I heard that she especially hates sewing and washing, but she only likes to practice martial arts. That's why she admires and admires Tieshi.It's a pity that she was married to Xu Qianhu by her parents to fill in the house, otherwise Ning Wan felt that Miss Yang was actually worthy of Tieshi. After all, she was able to defend the city wall like a man when the barbarians went south. In the hero.

Unexpectedly, Miss Yang recognized Ning Wan, she curled her lips and asked her with a smile: "Why is Mrs. Deputy Qianhu here in the yard?" Her tone was rather unfriendly.

As expected, it was the first time for Ning Wan to come here, but it was not Miss Yang's turn to take care of her, so she laughed and said, "So why is Miss Yang here?"

"My father met barbarians when he went to Duolun to deliver armaments. Duomen brothers helped them out, so I came here every few days to help them wash their clothes to repay their gratitude." This reason is naturally It's high-sounding, but Miss Yang's real goal is Tie Shi. It's just that she doesn't want to see Tie Shi get married to her and stop helping to wash clothes immediately. It's really ugly and easy to be laughed at.

Ning Wan's eyes are very sharp, she saw it a long time ago, but she didn't pay much attention to it, Miss Yang has no fate with Tie Shi, and she looks too ordinary, with a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and she is more than heroic. Without the coquettishness of a woman, he is far worse than himself. Tie Shi once said to himself that he didn't recognize her!

For those who lose to her, there is usually a condescending feeling, and Ning Wan is like this, but she still respects Miss Yang, she just doesn't feel that Miss Yang is dissatisfied with her, and said with a smile: "Then say Miss Yang, the deputy of Qianhu, must have washed the clothes for me, thank you very much."

Miss Yang's tone was tingly from the very beginning, but Mrs. Lu Qianhu thanked her with a smile, so she didn't know what to say.On the contrary, the Second Miss Yang who was following her came forward with a smile and said, "Madam Deputy Qianhu, you are welcome. It is our honor to be able to wash clothes for Deputy Qianhu." She will dress up a lot, and the same red silk skirt Miss Yang is very ordinary, and she is graceful and moving.

Ning Wan also has a deep impression of Miss Yang Er, she is actually not the younger sister of Miss Yang's mother, but the daughter of a concubine from a hundred households.Although the concubine's room is only half master and half servant, Miss Yang Er has always been the same as her elder sister in everything, and she is very scheming. Not long after her elder sister married, she was also taken into the family by Xu Qianhu to be a concubine, and she is more worthy than her elder sister. Xu Qianhu's favorite.When the barbarians went south and left Hutai County with soldiers led by Xu Qianhu, they only took the second lady of the Yang family with them, and left their wife, Miss Yang, in Hutai County. That's why Miss Yang climbed the wall to defend the city. thing.

Ningwan is not very clear about how Miss Yang Er got into the Xu family, but when she married Xu Qianhu with her sister, she was discussed for a long time in the county. Marry two daughters together to one person!There must be some unknown secrets in it, most likely Xu Qianhu and Miss Yang Er hooked up first, and the Yang family had no choice but to let her marry, because the second Miss Yang gave birth to a baby within ten months after arriving at the Xu family. Xu Qianhu repeatedly said that the child was born prematurely, but not many people believed it.

Therefore, Ning Wan didn't have the patience for Miss Yang's elder sister, so she just smiled and nodded, and then asked Miss Yang to come in, and she hung the clothes in the yard with her, and said politely: "Since you're here, why don't you come in?" Come and sit at my house."

Miss Yang quickly glanced at the courtyard of Lu's house, but shook her head, "Is there anything else going on at home? I'll go back and see Mrs. Young when I have a chance." No matter what, Second Miss Yang was still hesitating. followed her away.

After all, Miss Yang is not a shameless person like Miss Ding San. Although she couldn't forget Tie Shi, she refused to get close to Tie Shi after he became a relative.Just looking at this point, Ning Wan felt that she was really wronged to marry Xu Qianhu.

Thinking about going home like this, I will go back to Lu's old house and live there for more than ten days from tomorrow, which is longer than when I got married, so I have to bring a lot of clothes and supplies, and pack several big bags. I also brought this "Historical Records" with me, and I can read a few more pages in my spare time during the Chinese New Year.

Normally, Ning Wan had to go back to the old house to visit her mother-in-law every few days, and she had to pack big and small bags every time. This time, she naturally brought more things when she went home for the New Year. Leave it to yourself, don't let mother-in-law worry about it.

When she arrived at the old house, she first paid wages and rewards to Aunt Wu and the others, and then let them go out on vacation.Then I took out firecrackers, New Year pictures, couplets, blessing characters, lanterns and many other things for the New Year, arranged them all, and then made all kinds of food.In two or three days, the old house changed drastically, and there was joy everywhere.

No matter how careless Mrs. Wu was, she was infected by the joy. When she came out to look around, she saw that Ning Wan was still in the kitchen making a lot of fried meatballs, fried dates, fried meat, fried noodle sausages, etc., so she smiled and said : "When I was alone in the past years, I made delicious food and no one ate it, but it was all free. Although I made a few things when Tie Shi came back last year, it was not as many as yours. But I saw that all you made were from Liaodong. How about I make some Shandong pancakes for you to try.” He said and took out a few household items.

Ning Wan didn't recognize it when she saw it, and asked strangely: "What are these?"

"These are all for making pancakes. The big three-legged pan is called a griddle, and the one made of flat bamboo is called a bamboo pan, and there is also an oil wipe made of cloth." Mrs. Wu set up the griddle first, "Listen It is said that pancakes were handed down from the marches in the past, and it is very convenient to use them no matter where they are set up, and we have a special stove at home because we often make them.”

After setting up the griddle and kneading the noodles, Ning Wan saw that her mother-in-law mixed several kinds of noodles together and kneaded them into a thin paste. While kneading, she said: "There are many kinds of pancakes, and they are made of wheat, millet, and sorghum. You can make any kind of sugar, or you can mix several kinds of sugar together like now. Some people add minced vegetables and minced meat to it. In short, it’s completely optional. You can make whatever you like. Tie Shi and his father love to eat wheat White pancakes made of millet flour, we make this today."
