Splendid Pastoral Wife

Chapter 28 Hillbillies Entering the City?
After coming back, Lele pestered her and told her to ask his father to make him a slingshot too. Tian Liusu coaxed him to confuse him, and she was so embarrassed that she wanted to hit the wall.

Unexpectedly, today Qin Baozhu not only bought some food, but also made two small slingshots himself. She instantly felt that Qin Baozhu was not so evil, and felt that he was quite delicate in his thoughts, and could feel the feelings of An'an and Lele.

She took out the two small slingshots, seeing that the slingshots were exquisitely made, sturdy and beautiful, she couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"When we were having dinner at your house that day, Lele said that Daddy Zao Ya made her a slingshot, which was very fun, and begged me to make one for him, and I agreed, as a reward for eating at your house. .”

Seeing Tian Liusu pondering for a long time, Qin Baozhu said this sentence carefully.

"Thank you so much." Tian Liusu thanked him very sincerely this time, and she really thanked him from the bottom of her heart.

"Ahem, I'm not used to you thanking me in a serious manner, and I'm flattered. As long as you don't hit me, I'll burn my incense."

"You go to the house first, I'll ask Xue Ling to come over and help cook later." Tian Liusu said, carrying the basket and walking into the house.

"Wait, do you know what day it is today?"

"I don't know, what date is it?" Tian Liusu was taken aback. Could it be his birthday? She thought about it, and today would definitely not be her, Xue Ling's and their child's birthday.

"Today is the beginning of winter, we need to make more delicious food."

"Ah? In winter?"

While cutting the meat, Tian Liusu chatted with Xue Ling by the stove, and Xue Ling was adding firewood to her to start the fire.

"How flamboyant a big man is, how can he still celebrate the beginning of winter? What's so good about this festival?"

However, even though she said so on her mouth, her hands didn't stop. She chopped the pork belly on the chopping board, washed some shepherd's purse, added seasonings and mixed some dumpling stuffing.

Xue Ling helped roll the dumpling wrappers with the noodles. In order to please An An and Le Le, Qin Baozhu played with the two children with the small slingshot he made for them.

"Madam, actually, I don't think Master Qin is as bad as before."

Xue Ling was still a little scared when she saw Qin Baozhu at first, and hid from him for a few days. Recently, because he often visited Tian Liusu's house, she gradually stopped hiding, and she became more casual when she saw him.

"Xue Ling, he beat you like that that day, thanks to you being able to speak for him, if I hadn't convinced him by beating him, how would he be like this? This is a filial son born under a stick..."

"Cough cough, suddenly there was a violent cough from outside..." Tian Liusu was chatting with Xue Ling when they heard the cough, they looked at each other and laughed.

"Well, it's the stick that brought the prodigal son back." Tian Liusu said with a smile while cooking the already wrapped dumplings in the pot.

While the dumplings were cooking, Tian Liusu quickly peeled off the smoked chicken and cut it into small pieces, put them on a plate, and mixed a dish of shallots with vinegar, garlic and sesame oil to make a cold dish, then went to call Qin Baozhu and the two The children came back for dinner.

In the courtyard, An'an and Lele were playing knights, Qin Baozhu was playing bandits, and each of the two children was aiming at Qin Baozhu with a slingshot to shoot him. run.

Really talented in acting, Tian Liusu groaned inwardly and asked them to eat.

As soon as they heard that they were eating, the two children threw the slingshot at Qin Baozhu and ran back. Qin Baozhu wanted to be the first to run back, but he didn't want to be blocked by the slingshot thrown by the two children, so he took a step slower, so he had to pick it up. The slingshot ran back again.

Tian Liusu looked at the two children and shook her head. This is the rhythm of her raising the two children to be foodies.

After entering the house, the three of them started the drama of each meal again, grabbing food, Qin Baozhu looked at the dumpling skin in front of him, which was thin and tender, delicious, and couldn't help but whet his appetite. He was attracted by the food in front of him, and quickly Sit down at the table and start feasting.

"Susu, the food you cook is really delicious. This dumpling is the best I've ever eaten except my father's." Qin Baozhu said inarticulately while eating.

"Your father?" Tian Liusu couldn't help being startled, ancient men still take the initiative to cook?She couldn't help being curious about Qin Baozhu's father.

"When I was young, my father often cooked for me. At that time, I lived well..." Qin Baozhu's eyes suddenly became long and distant, as if he was nostalgic for the past.

"Then where did he go?" Tian Liusu couldn't help being attracted by his topic, and blurted out.

"Hey, it's the past, so I won't mention it, delicious, delicious..." Like a wound that he didn't want to be mentioned, he covered his eyes, lowered his head and continued to compete with delicious food.

Tian Liusu felt that his mood was a little different today, without the usual dandyish ruffian aura, and felt that he was a little sad and melancholy today, so she didn't ask anymore, everyone has their own privacy, and she didn't inquire about other people's privacy interest of.

"Ma'am, is the wine ready?" Xue Ling reminded her.

"Yes, I almost forgot. Lidong is a festival anyway. Let's each have a drink." Qin Baozhu also bought a pot of rice wine.

Xue Ling brought wine and gave each of the three a bowl. They ate and drank, Tian Liusu remembered Qin Baozhu's story about Poria cocos paste again.

"Tomorrow, I'd better go to the town and ask shopkeeper Zhu. I can just send someone to deliver it. Why should I deliver it in person? It's far away from the capital, and there is no carriage. How can I go there as a woman?" Got it?"

"Don't be careful, their boss probably wants to meet you, and wants to discuss something with you? How about I take a few people to escort you there? I have a carriage in my village." Qin Baozhu asked Tian Liusu tentatively.

"You have a carriage?"

"Have."

"Okay, then you can go with me."

"Really?" Qin Baozhu thought that Tian Liusu would not agree, but he didn't expect that she would agree. He couldn't believe it in his excitement, so he confirmed it again.

"Of course, why not use free bodyguards with free cars? I'm not stupid."

Although it was Qin Baozhu who told her to send Poria cocos paste to the capital, she was still worried that his words were unreliable, so she went to the town the next day to ask shopkeeper Zhu, and the situation was similar to what Qin Baozhu said.

So after the two made an agreement, Tian Liusu went home and Xue Ling boiled a pot of Poria cocos paste left over from last time and handed it to shopkeeper Zhu for canning, ready to go to Beijing.

In the autumn of the fourth year of Tianqi Dynasty 650, Yanmen Pass, which borders the Hulu outside the pass, was in a hurry. The Hulu, Xiongnu, and Turkic alliance of ethnic minorities outside the pass assembled an army of 30 to approach Yanmen Pass, the largest pass in the north of Tianqi. People struggle with it.
