Chapter 69

Pei Shuo holds the blessing money in his hand. In fact, it is an ordinary copper coin. A Yao asked Wangyue for it. She asked for three Wen in total and wrapped it in dumplings.

I didn't expect to be called away. After going out for a while, none of the three people got lucky money last night.

That's depressing.

"Ouch!" Pei Shuo shouted again. His poor front teeth looked at the second copper coin. He laughed: "ah Yao, did you put all the blessing money in my bowl?"

"How is that possible? You wait." A Yao didn't believe it. She took a clean spoon and poked the soft glutinous dumplings. It was soft and didn't feel hard. That's it! Pei Shuo looked at ah Yao's behavior and watched her scoop a dumpling from her bowl into his bowl and exchange it with the dumplings in his bowl. Pei Shuo was amused: "you're playing tricks, you know?"

"Come and eat, then we are all blessed." A Yao cheekily preached, then lowered her head and bit open the sweet glutinous dumpling skin. The fragrant sesame filling flowed out. It was sweet, but she couldn't eat the blessing money.

Pei Shuo let go of the glutinous rice balls with lucky money and ate them. He only took one mouthful and smiled. Today, ah Yao really brought him great joy. But on second thought, he deliberately raised his face and pretended not to eat the lucky money. He asked angrily, "ah Yao, how much lucky money did you put into the glutinous rice balls, only two?"

A Yao thought Pei Shuo didn't get the third blessing money and was still fighting to find the last blessing money from her bowl. She replied casually, "no, I put three. I was going to have one for master moon watching, one for bird's nest and one for me. Strange, where are you going?"

Pei Shuo couldn't help laughing anymore. He showed ah Yao the dumplings wrapped with two pieces of fortune money. There was no stuffing in the dumplings with fortune money. You can see at a glance.

"Ah Yao, you gave me all your blessings. Ha ha ha, how can you be so cute."

"..." is this called lifting a stone and hitting yourself in the foot?

Maybe ah Yao's expression was too ferocious. Pei Shuo quickly ate the dumplings and spit out two blessing coins. Plus the three blessing coins he had eaten before, he washed them clean: "Nah, I ate them myself and the blessing you gave me. I can't cheat."

She muttered that the next time she made dumplings or dumplings with lucky money, she must mark them. She didn't believe Lao Shizi's luck. A non chieftain talked about luck and cheated“ Who cares about you? I'll find a red thread to wear for you. "

The red rope was twisted into a twist, and the three copper coins were put on. A Yao asked him to put the sachet in it, but he said to make a pendant, hang it on his neck and put it away.

Pei Shuo smiled brightly, white teeth, warm smile, dazzled her eyes, and played a beautiful man's trick, so that her heart missed a beat.

He said, "ah Yao, I'm so happy. I didn't expect to receive the gift you gave me when I was about to leave. With your blessing, I will run smoothly in the coming year, as you said."

A Yao couldn't hear right. Pei Shuo's words implied a strong sense of sadness and reluctance: "why do you say goodbye when you want to go home?"

"I'm going to join the army."

Pei Shuo played it down as if he had just eaten a dumpling.

Join the army!?

A Yao stared at him from top to bottom, then stretched out his hand to his forehead: "are you crazy? How old are you to join the army? Does your father know, or did he want you to go? "

"Although you are ambiguous, I don't understand what you are thinking, but now you care about me, I feel so happy."

Pei Shuo held his cheek and looked sideways at a Yao: "what do you think all day?"

Ah Yao is crazy. Is this the time to think about these? She also wants to open Pei Shuo's mind and see what he thinks. Wake up, child!

"I just feel uncomfortable every time I think of you telling me that you want to marry me as a concubine. Your words have brought me too many troubles. Although you are only ten years old, I will take it seriously and always think about it in my heart. Whenever you treat me well, I can't help thinking of what you said. I'm also tangled. While enjoying your kindness to me, I secretly rub away and forget in the Jianghu early. There's no trouble. Ah, why am I so tangled? "

Pei Shuo's happy face faded a little.

He looked at ah Yao as if there was not a boy in front of her. She seemed to have seen such sharp eyes like hawks and falcons everywhere.

"Am I bothering you because I treat you well?"

"I don't want to be the second Bai Yun. I don't want to be your servant girl. I owe more and more because you are too kind to me. In the end, I can't get up. Maybe I have to promise by example!"

Ah Yao finally broke out at this moment.

"I didn't expect to be your wife. My identity is too different. In this way, I can only be a concubine as you said, but I really hate my identity. I don't want to be the person I hate. That's why I want to distance myself from you. I just think too much sometimes and always remember a sentence firmly. Hoo ~ I'm finished. "

She stroked her hair, breathed out a sigh, and said all her stuffy words. Now the whole person is much more relaxed.

Pei Shuo bowed his head and ate the last dumpling. The sweet sesame filling was a little tired, and the glutinous dumpling skin was full, but it tasted good. The cook at home couldn't make it. If he went to join the army, he wouldn't have much chance to see a Yao in the future.

They were silent.

A Yao walks around the courtyard. Do you want to break up friendship or I won't play with you in the future? Pei Shuo, would you like to give me a word?

Pei Shuo was thinking about what she said.

The bird's nest poked out its head: "did you quarrel?"

Ah Yao hurried the people away. "Oh, go with master Wangyue. We're talking."

The bird's nest God interrupted the strange atmosphere between them. Pei Shuo also made a decision. He subconsciously didn't want to lose a Yao, a good friend.

After careful reflection, as soon as he came up, he said to the little girl that it was really difficult to marry her as a concubine when he grew up. No wonder ah Yao sometimes avoided him like snakes and scorpions. For him, he didn't like aunt Feng at home.

"Ah Yao." Pei Shuo's cry came from behind.

Finally, she clenched her fists, closed her lips, turned around and whispered, waiting for the moment when Pei Shuo was sentenced to death.

Pei Shuo handed the bowl forward: "ah Yao, do you have any dumplings? Another bowl."

A Yao gnashed her teeth, grabbed his bowl and walked into the kitchen: "I really want to pry open your head and see what you're thinking!"

He smiled, "if you cook food for me, I'll even if you pay off your debt. The regular food for watching the moon is worth 5000 yuan and ten silks. You have a bright future with watching the moon."

She was so surprised that she could put eggs in her mouth. She knew that looking at the moon would be very expensive, but she didn't expect it to be so expensive!

The ancient version of Michelin chef!

In this way, her mind of learning art is stronger. With an independent registered permanent residence, she follows a master with excellent cooking skills, and her life will be prosperous and better!

When the wooden cover is lifted, the remaining dumplings are a little sticky. Several stick to one piece. If they are cooked again, they will have no taste and taste worse.

"Ah... I'll cook it for you again."

Pei Shuo didn't care. He wasn't rich in clothes and food before. There were several cooks at home. Their tastes were good and bad. I heard that the moon was coming a while ago. I always heard rumors about her in the capital and wanted to try her craft, so I invited people home. It was really worthy of its reputation.

"If I eat your boiled noodles, will I dislike your dumplings? It's just cooler and softer. It doesn't matter. "

When Pei Shuo told her to cook and pay off the debt, a pretentious woman finally put down the tangle and gave him a horizontal look: "it's like I forced you to eat, hem."

"Yes, I want to eat."

"After eating glutinous rice balls, your mouth is like wiping honey." A Yao took out a large celadon bowl and looked at the dumplings that left the soup one by one. Suddenly she thought of sugar.

Yeah, why didn't she forget the sugar?

That is the twin brother of Tangyuan!

In this era, there are no peanuts, but they can be replaced by melon seeds or pine nuts, or fried eggs, cut into egg shreds and sprinkled on them, which is another flavor.

However, the glutinous rice dumplings are made of glutinous rice powder. They are sweet and non gelatinized, and the sugar is not thrown. Although they are delicious, they are still fried with brown sugar. Three layers of sweetness with different tastes bloom on the taste buds

Just thinking about it, the scalp is numb. No, it's too sweet. It must be uncomfortable for half an hour.

"Pei Shuo, can you make tea?" A Yao asked, "if you want to eat dumplings, please help with your work. On snowy days, sugar is better matched with strong tea!"

Wangyue got the news of a Yao's quarrel from the bird's nest.

At that time, the bird's nest saw that the atmosphere between them was quite stiff. Pei Shuo sat on the threshold with a black face and his eyes moved back and forth with ah Yao. At that moment, she had an illusion that Pei Shuo was going to be bad for ah Yao, so she told Wangyue.

Worried that the little apprentice had an accident, the two teachers and disciples rushed to the back kitchen and saw one grinding and screening tea and the other stirring in the pot with a spoon, which was very different from the atmosphere described by the bird's nest——

What's the deal?

It's hard to understand a child's heart.

Looking at the moon and bird's nest, exchanging ideas.

Looking at the moon, he coughed twice, came out from behind the pillar and came to the kitchen to see what ah Yao did.

In the frying pan, the surface of pine nuts was slightly charred and gave off a fragrance. She fried it a few times and loaded it with a shadow herring water pattern porcelain plate.

The stove also uses a small iron pot to boil brown sugar. There are three pieces of ginger flakes floating in the brown sugar water. The white dumplings are dyed slightly red in the thick brown sugar water. After a while, they shake slightly. The small pot will drain. Put the dumplings in the white porcelain printed Peony flavor plate, one for each flavor plate.

Finally, pine nuts and egg skin were sprinkled on it. She thought carefully. She remembered that one of the preserves was a raisin from the western regions. It was blue and slightly sour. She also took it and sprinkled it around.

The sugar is not fresh.

Looking at the moon, he said, "Yao Zhu, do you have our share here? Two children can't hide quietly and steal food. It's hard to eat alone. "

A Yao was startled and said angrily, "master, don't bring a scary one. You have wronged your apprentice, too. No, one for each person, as well as the uncle in charge of the flower garden and the aunt on duty. People feel refreshed when they eat something hot in winter, but they haven't done it well now. "

The moon nodded with satisfaction and glanced at the improved dumplings“ The practice of Tangyuan looks fresh. When will it be ready? "

"Soon, I need Pei Shuo's tea. What I don't like is yesterday's dumplings. I cook them with brown sugar ginger water. Ginger juice drives away the cold and healthy qi. Pine nut egg skin sticks to the dumplings. Finally, I add sour raisins. If you don't like too sweet, you can chew raisins and have a cup of bitter and sweet Matcha. It's absolutely -- it's purely brain tonic. "

Pei Shuo, Wangyue and bird's nest nodded after listening to what she said, but at the last sentence, a Yao fully explained what was bad scenery and unreliable.

"Master Wangyue, have a taste."

Pei Shuo ordered Matcha. One black glazed tea with partridge spots was placed next to the white porcelain flavor plate. The reddish dumplings on the white porcelain printed peony plate were soft and trembling. Wangyue poked a few times with chopsticks and didn't stick to them. Then he sent them to the mouth to chew and swallow slowly.

After eating, drink another cup of Matcha.

She closed her eyes and savored.

A Yao looked at the moon and dared not breathe for fear of disturbing her.

The bird's nest immediately picked up chopsticks and ate. She ate quickly, stuffed it into her mouth, swallowed it, drank Matcha, and took it away for others.

So, how does it taste?

A Yao and Pei Shuo can't help eating. The outer skin of brown sugar ginger water is sweet and slightly spicy. The middle layer is sweet and smooth with exclusive glutinous rice. At the bottom, there is sesame paste filling. It is very delicious. The fragrance of nuts and the greasy egg skin are relieved. It tastes rich. Eating raisins will add to the situation, but change the order. After drinking Matcha, finally chew a few raisins scattered around, The aftertaste is prolonged.

She drank her tea slowly and thought.

After a while, Wangyue opened her eyes. Ah Yao was still in front of her. She smiled and said, "Yao Zhu, you have a good talent. Don't be too happy. Guard against arrogance and impatience."

"Yes."

Ah Yao grinned and looked at the moon, glancing at Pei Shuo who was happy for ah Yao, and reminded him, "but don't cook less after you don't throw away the sugar in your mouth."

Ah Yao, who is still smiling, put away her smile. She also wants to make dessert and sell it“ Why? "

"I'll tell you a bedtime story tonight, and you'll know." Wangyue left the kitchen happily.

Pei Shuo didn't throw away after eating dumplings and sugar. Before leaving, he touched his chest again. The copper money was still there: "I'm gone. If you receive my letter in the future, remember to reply to me."

"Stop talking nonsense and have a good talk with your father. There is no reason why half of the children will join the army." Yao Yao remembered the meaning of Pei Shuo, and said he had to bid farewell to join the army, except for giving her a registered residence. She comforted, "the winter solstice is over, and then comes to the new year and new year. It will not be many days. There will always be a roundabout way."

"I'm not half a child." Pei Shuo held his breath“ I am a man. I can defend my country and protect the people I want to protect! "

It can be seen that joining the army is his idea, but

Why does she still have a feeling that Pei Shuo is because of her?

Ha ha, I think so.

At night, the moonlight was clear, and the dishes on the table in the yard were covered with snow.

Wearing a pink and red feather Satin cloak, a Yao stepped into the clogs and strolled to the room next door to watch the moon and listened to the moon's story.

"There is such a custom in Yushan. The Iceman takes the man's family to the woman's family for a blind date. If the woman agrees to the marriage, she will treat the other party with sugar instead of dumping, and the other party will understand. Just make it for yourself, but don't make it for men. Change someone who knows the meaning and has a straight stomach. Immediately, three rites and six hires come to propose marriage. It's too late to see you cry. "
