There are too many things to buy when the Chinese New Year is approaching. Wufu remembers the family affairs, and Li Haitang doesn't need to worry about it. buy a copy.
It stands to reason that the toys in Kyoto can be more refined, but Ruan Pingzhi really has no experience in raising children. He had a miserable childhood, and the only thing that accompanied him was books, so he bought a lot of books for the little five, including the Three Character Classic and the Thousand Character Classic. , Let his son become a little nerd just like him.
"Daddy said that he can teach me some homework, but he still plans to send me to school to study."
What Ruan Pingzhi meant was that the fifth son had no playmates, and it was not good to be with the children in the village. Sending him to the school would allow him to have a few more classmates, so as to cultivate the friendship between the classmates in the future.
"Your father is right, but if you want to go to school, you have to pass the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."
The twelfth lunar month is the new year, and the school has already stopped their classes, and the little ones are hiding at home, otherwise, it will be difficult to survive the difficult winter.
At this time of year, medicine shops in Lucheng sell very well the ointment for treating chilblain, especially on the hands and feet, which are red and swollen, and itchy, making people unbearable.
This year, my savage husband is too busy to hunt. The fur at home is saved from the past, and the servants are also sheepskin boots. The outer skin is specially thickened to prevent the snow from getting wet and the cold. into the body.
The climate in the Northwest and Northland is incomparable. After walking for a while, Little Wuzi felt cold in his hands and feet. Finally, he was hugged by Wufu and shuttled through the crowd.
The family stews vegetables every day to make hot soup, so I use a lot of seasonings. I bought some star anise, Chinese pepper, cinnamon, and Li Haitang. She prefers pork ribs and big bones for meat, which are the best materials for making bone soup .
"The cabbage in the greenhouse is up, how about making cabbage soup at night?"
The family now only has two meals a day, breakfast, and noon cakes and other things to fill their stomachs. Wu Fu usually eats two steamed buns, one more meal than others.
Because of being able to eat, Wu Fu learned how to mix meat and vegetables after asking Madam Yu for advice. She also found that her wife is absolutely generous when it comes to food, and she is willing to spend money.
In the words of Li Haitang, people depend on food, how much can they eat?
The rest of the morning is a bowl of bean curd, fried vegetarian meatballs, fried chicken, cabbage soup, scrambled eggs with fungus, four dishes, I'm afraid that's all.
Usually the family usually only have two dishes, but seeing Ruan Pingzhi and Xiao Wuzi coming today, they specially added more dishes.
Every household in the Northland is like this. They just want to eat a bite of hot food in winter, such as radish, cabbage, potato, sauerkraut, chicken stewed with mushrooms, and there are almost no tricks.
It is cold in winter, and there is no production in the fields, and there are only those that can be eaten, so they have to be rotated repeatedly.
"Add potato shreds and some carrot shreds to fry together. It's sweet and delicious, and it looks good on the plate."
Li Haitang rubbed Xiao Wuzi's face with his hands, and took him to a better dim sum shop, planning to buy some snacks.
Melon seeds, peanuts, walnuts, and chestnuts. There is a small bag at home. When warming up by the fire on weekdays, the maids and women also like to chat their teeth, eat something and drink tea when they have nothing to do. The day is over.
This pastry shop is relatively expensive, but relatively speaking, the things it makes are also delicious.
There are small twists on the tray. The twists are divided into several flavors, salt and pepper, spicy, strange, sesame, and rock sugar. There are also almond sticks, glutinous rice sticks, rice flower candy, Sachima, etc., as well as those made by the store. Sesame Pancakes.
"Ma'am, there are so many styles, which one should we buy?"
The cake is excluded first, because it will change its taste when it is cold, and it will hurt your throat when you eat it. It is definitely not as good as making it at home, but these small twists, they really can't make so many flavors in one go.
"There are a lot of people in the family, so I buy a catty."
It looks like a lot, it fills the stomach at noon, and it will be eaten up in a few days. Li Haitang is not stingy about food, and he is never constrained in eating small snacks for his servants.
She was planning to buy something for her cousin Ruan Pingzhi, but she didn't know the tastes of scholars, so she could only go to the tea house to buy a few taels of the best stock. She did not forget Ruan Pingzhi's look of disgust after drinking tea.
Along the way, the shops on both sides had already hung up red lanterns, and some of them were attracting customers, and there was a row of small colored flags hanging at the door, and they sent staff to shout outside the door.
Rouge and gouache shops are crowded with people, and young ladies have to dress up at the end of the year and go out to visit relatives.
Wufu hugged his little Wuzi to watch the excitement, and the market was in front of him. Unknowingly, the group walked a long way.
"Eggs, eggs, five eggs at the door!"
At the end of the market, there were a few people dressed as clerks, who were looking furiously at the crowd. They saw that Li Haitang and his party were well dressed and had a lot of things in their hands. When they saw them, they knew that these people were rich masters. Son.
"What eggs?"
People are a little curious, and the five blessings are the most gossip, so they ask.
"There is a performance ahead, as long as you go in and watch it, you will be given five eggs when you go out."
This is based on the head, and each person is given five eggs, but Xiaowazi is not included.
"What do you mean?"
Wufu didn't understand, so she asked the clerk, "How much are the tickets for the show, and free eggs?"
There is no free lunch in the world, the other party must ask for the fare, and then return a few eggs.
"Our brothers will take you in. If you don't want money, don't talk about it if you want money."
The man shook his head repeatedly, and delivered eggs as soon as he entered the door. He pointed to a woman at the gate of a house. Next to the woman was a box covered with straw, which contained a large box of eggs.
"Is it really delivered?"
Wu Fu was puzzled. It didn’t cost money to go in to watch the performance, and he gave eggs back. Even if he didn’t eat it himself, he would go to the market to exchange money, and he would get at least five copper coins.
No matter how stupid she is, she won't believe it.
Thinking of this, Wu Fu stared at the buddy vigilantly, guarding the twisted twists and fried chickens he bought in the basket, squinted his eyes and said, "I understand your routine, which is to lure us into the house, rob us, use Five eggs lured us in, your abacus is really shrewd!"
"Hey, my aunt, you are the one who said that!"
The guy didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he didn't pull a person, at this moment, a dozen people had already entered.
Looting in a market where people come and go is a lot of trouble. Before you can **** your things, you have to be taken away by soldiers from the camp in the north of the city. Wu Fu thought about it, and it was true, but she hadn't figured out what medicine the other party was selling in the gourd. Anyway, there is no free lunch or money-losing business in the world.
