Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 111 Show off (seeking pink)

The rest of the wives are really out of curiosity. They are considered wealthy, and every winter they will spare no effort to prepare an extra room and use a brazier to heat up a few handfuls of spinach and leeks. The yellow-green color, wait until the New Year's Eve dinner on the [-]th night or the New Year's banquet, and fry a plate to decorate the face.

But I have never heard of live fish and shrimp. Kao City does not produce fish and shrimp, and most of them are transported from other places. It takes at least seven or eight days. Even in the middle of summer, no fish and shrimp can persist here, let alone Now is the season.At the moment, they all smiled and said that they wanted to see it with their own eyes and gain insight.

Chen Fengshi also didn't believe that there would be fresh vegetables and live fish and shrimps at this time, and said, "Sister Wei is probably trying to make us happy. How can there be these things in this season? I'm afraid she is making fun of my sisters?" The tone She was full of disdain and ridicule, and Mrs. Wei didn't bother with her, so she pretended she didn't hear it, and gave her sister a wink. Mrs. Wei smiled and told the blue-clothed maid beside her, "Qingwen, go call some The boy brought the box containing fresh vegetables and the bucket containing fish and shrimp."

The girl responded with a smile, and within a short while, a dozen servants came up, and each of them carried a box or bucket, placed them respectfully on the open space in the hall, and then stepped back a few steps out of the hall door After listening to the order.

Qingwen took a few little girls around her and opened the boxes one by one, and it was suddenly emerald green, leeks, spinach, celery, small cabbage, cucumbers, beans, eggplants that were sold like gold in the cyclamen, and bright red dazzling The red persimmons are as fresh as if they were just picked.

When a maid scooped a foot-long carp and two-inch prawns out of the bucket with a net, all the ladies opened their eyes wide, admiring, and asked Madam Wei where she made friends. Good job.

Mrs. Wei stepped on Feng's family intentionally, smiled perfunctorily, and then asked Qingwen, "Girl Qingwen, is there any novel food in the return gift? After the banquet, I will serve some for the ladies to try."

Qingwen was also cute and smart, and immediately replied crisply, "Returning to Madam, sister Xia Zhi, who returned the gift, gave the servant a very detailed explanation, and there are really some novel foods among them. The servant will prepare it now."

"Go." Mrs. Wei nodded, then turned around and smiled at everyone at the table, "Let's drink for a while, then we can change some snacks. My friend must be the only one who gives away The portion. Not to mention the good taste, you can’t find it anywhere else just because of its novel appearance.”

"Then we'll follow my sister to get rich." Everyone laughed and chatted.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the servants came up and carefully carried the box down, and another little girl quickly withdrew the banquet.There was only an empty teacup in front of the wives, but there was no tea. As soon as someone was about to speak, Qingwen brought six or seven little maids over. There are five-spice melon seeds on one plate, five flavors of candy on one plate, a platter of beef jerky and pork jerky on the other, and thinly sliced ​​cakes on the last plate.There is also a small white porcelain bowl in the middle, which contains more than half of the bright red paste.

Everyone was looking at it curiously, Qingwen scooped three spoonfuls of golden viscous liquid into the teapot from a drum-shaped jar painted with rich and noble flowers held by a little girl, and stirred it twice with a silver spoon. Immediately, there was a faint sweet fragrance in the air, making people want to twitch their noses and sniff a few more.Qingwen filled a glass for each wife lightly, then stood beside her wife, and replied, "Ma'am, everything is ready."

"Well, it's really fresh to see these tricks, not to mention all the sisters, even I tasted them for the first time, Qingwen, what do you know, please tell me in detail." Mrs. Wei only listened to what her sister said. After a few words, I really don't know, so I hide my clumsiness wisely.

Qingwen bowed to all the ladies and introduced them to each other. "The first dish is called five-spice melon seeds, which are fried with special seasoning. It is even more delicious than the ones served in Xiankelou. The second dish is called candy. It is not made of sweet syrup, but it is sweeter than sweet syrup. It is divided into five flavors: peanut, walnut, sesame, melon seed and hazelnut. The third plate is beef jerky and pork jerky, which are made of beef and pork with special seasoning. The fourth plate is called cake, which is the same as the previous few times. It’s the same as the previous one, but this time, it’s to be eaten with sweet sauce in a white porcelain bowl. It’s said that the sweet and sour taste makes it even more delicious. The last thing is the tea in the pot, which is brewed with honey. Drink, beautify the skin, drink a glass after drinking to sober up, and wake up without headache and dizziness." After Qingwen finished speaking, she glanced at her wife, and stepped back with a smile.

Mrs. Wei smiled and greeted the curious people to drink honey water and eat desserts. Seeing that everyone picked out their favorite desserts and tasted them, she also took a piece of cake from a little girl with sweet sauce. It was really sour and sweet. Delicious, delicious, and taking another sip of honey water, there is really nothing more enjoyable than this in the world.

Apparently all the wives feel the same way as her, and they are full of praise. Those who love the sweetness of honey water and are tempted by the four words of beauty and beauty, pay attention to the skin and complexion of their sisters, which are much more tender and rosy than before, so they pester Inquiring about the origin of this honey, Qingwen said that it was brewed by a small flying insect on the sacred mountain that collected the essence of hundreds of flowers, which immediately made everyone's eyes turn red with envy.

Chen Fengshi was also a little moved when she thought of the two young and beautiful concubines in her family this month, but she couldn't save face and make friends with Mrs. Wei. Just now she was showing off her jewelry and belittling other people's local products. It's not easy to slap your mouth, and your face is a little blue and red.

The sisters of Mrs. Wei felt relieved when they saw it, but the wives of officials always know how to be a human being and stay on the front line. They smiled and greeted her for snacks, but it is absolutely impossible to ask them to share honey.

In the end, they couldn't escape being pestered by the wives, so they had no choice but to reveal that this friend was the adopted sister of the Xiao family, who lived in the mountains on weekdays, had a quiet nature and rarely socialized with others.A few days ago, his only son was seriously ill. Xiao Heng came forward and invited her to rescue him. He stayed with the sisters for a few days, and they hit it off very well. It was only the New Year's Eve when they greeted each other.

Liniang didn't come to congratulate today because of something, and everyone couldn't ask any more information, so they had to forget it. After more than half an hour of excitement, they drank three pots of honey water and ate up snacks before returning home full of envy. home to...

Guo Huai brought Ah Da to Xiao's mansion as a gift, and he and Xiao Fu are old acquaintances. Hearing that the Xiao family and his wife are not at the mansion, he explained the details carefully and continued to give gifts to the Zhou mansion in the east of the city.

Mr. Zhou was drinking tea and studying at home, when he heard that the Muxian Manor came up to give gifts, he called Guo Huai himself to speak, and when he saw Mu Ai's letter to him and the list of gifts in return, he couldn't help laughing out loud.She laughed and cursed, "This girl, in the entire Baihua Kingdom, is the only one who reaches out to ask for a gift in return. Go back and tell her to rest assured that I don't have many other things here, except that there are many carpenters. It will be delivered years ago."

Guo Huai responded with a smile, resigned and went out.We met Mu San and Xia Zhi at the gate of the city, bought some daily necessities, and rushed back to the village together.

As the sun went down, Xiao Heng and his wife came back from outside the mansion and looked carefully at the New Year gifts from Mu Ai. Cheng'er jumped up for joy when he got the picture book and those candies and sweet sauces, and shouted in his mouth that he envied Simba to live every day. By my aunt's side, pestering me to live with my aunt for a few days.Liniang ignored her, and played with the pairs of vases and flowers fondly, thinking that it would be festive and lively to put a pair on during the Chinese New Year, and seeing that there were more fresh vegetables than last year, there was no need to worry about the banquet.

Xiao Heng took the pair of revolving pen holders and blueprints, didn't even eat, and hurried out to find a carpenter to try it out, thinking that it would be another miracle to launch the revolving table in time for the peak banquet season a year ago.

Here in Wei Mansion is also a family of four waiting for Wei Guang to return to the mansion, and at the same time gather around to check the return gift of Muai. The old lady likes Chuan Mazi very much. It is rare to see one born every year, not to mention that it is born in a hundred years. If there is an accident in the future, it may save her life.Hearing that honey can beautify the skin, she immediately refused to be polite to her daughter-in-law and asked her personal maid to take a jar of it.

The two wives loved the set of European-style teacups and vases. They made an appointment to drink honey water and eat snacks together. They studied cutting flowers and bottling them. They sent a pair of Fugui flowers to the old lady’s house. Send a pair of five tigers down the mountain.

Tao'er was eating candy in her mouth, holding a small picture book in her hand, flipping through it carefully with great joy, wondering how to get her father to agree to her staying with Aunt Xian for a few days...

However, Chen Gan is very busy these few days, and the New Year's Eve is approaching, there are many miscellaneous matters in the yamen that need to be explained, and the matter that he secretly carried out has also made progress, and he can't wait to finish it in a short time, and report it to the master of Huadu immediately. A few pills, thinking of the pain of each attack, he couldn't help but froze.

After entering the second gate, I asked the servant girl, and when she heard that Madam threw something in the room and lost her temper again, she frowned fiercely.This Feng family is really becoming more and more unruly. A few days ago, he just took in two beautiful concubines and started crying, how can he still have the demeanor of the first daughter of a scholarly family.If it wasn't for her elder brother Gao Juhubu's servant, he could have covered him up a little bit. He had made her fall ill and died with half a glass of poisoned wine.

Thinking this way in his heart, when he entered the room, Feng's hair was more than half loose, and he was tearing the curtain beside the bed, yelling loudly, "Okay, who messed with you again today, and smashed the house into a mess. "

Feng slammed down the curtain in his hand, and smoothed a strand of hair that was in the way in front of his eyes, and said in a hateful voice, "Who else is there, not the pair of sisters in Weifu, who always hate me, no matter what happens. Put me on the head."

Chen Gan's brows furrowed even tighter, he gritted his teeth in hatred for her so indifferently.That Wei Guang is her immediate boss, she doesn't think about her official career, she walks around with the two wives to make friends, but on the contrary wants to overwhelm him, everything depends on her face.
