Fleeing the wasteland and farming: don't panic, the family's metaphysics boss

Chapter 79 It's Not So Easy

Sun Zhixin and Zhang Cheng left Gushu Hutong full of doubts.

The two returned to the yamen.Zhang Cheng first returned the five taels of silver to Sun Zhixin, and then discussed with Sun Zhixin, "According to the meaning of these words, these three people are actually in the city."

Sun Zhixin couldn't help wondering, "Forget the scar, what are Yang Jin and Fan Yi doing in the city? Do you think that the most dangerous place is the safest place when it's dark under the lights?"

Zhang Cheng frowned and thought for a while, "No matter why they came to the city, I have to send someone to watch at their house." After finishing speaking, he hurried to make arrangements, and sat back again after the arrangement, and continued to discuss with Sun Zhixin for five taels of silver. to the answer.

Zhang Cheng turned the paper up and down, left and right, his face full of confusion: "What does this mean?"

Sun Zhixin also looked confused, reading his own answer, "Zichou's water turns to Yinmao's wood. Zichou and Yinmao know it, but they are connected together, so I really don't understand."

Zhang Cheng leaned over to take a look, and then expanded his answer, "You can still understand the words, but what exactly is my painting?"

Sun Zhixin also took it over to have a look. There was a circle that should be round but not oval. There were many vertical lines drawn on the circle, one of which was circled, and a poem was attached:

Wandering all over the world alone, I cross the three states with a bamboo stick in my hand.The rice basket welcomes the waning moon towards Xiao, and the singing pipe sings in the late autumn.

Zhang Cheng pointed to the vertical lines on the painting: "I've counted 24 lines, and the circled one should be important, but I really can't figure out what it means."

The two discussed it for a while, but they had no clue, and they felt a little uncomfortable in buying such an incomprehensible answer for ten taels of silver. If they didn't know that the genius doctor was really capable, the two would have to come to settle accounts.

"I'm sure I wouldn't dare to fool you and me. It's said that the fortune-telling gods talk about it. From this point of view, I'm really right." Sun Zhixin murmured.

Zhang Cheng thought for a moment, and then said simply: "Just send someone to ask a magician on the street, maybe an expert can see the way."

Thinking about it, Sun Zhixin felt that this was the only way out, but he couldn't help laughing wryly.I still can't understand the answer after spending money on it, and I have to ask a street warlock for advice. No matter how I think about it, I feel aggrieved.

The two called their errand servants and ordered them to ask for the answer quickly. In order to avoid inaccurate questions, they also asked the servants to ask a few more people.

The yamen servant came back after going out for half an hour.

A pair of Zhang Chengdao: "The younger one asked four people, and they all said that it is the 24 directions of Qiankun Bagua, and the circled direction refers to the northeast."

A pair of Sun Zhixin said: "The man said that 'the water of Zichou turns to the wood of Yinmao' refers to the position of Gen palace, taking the southwest, and said 'Gen is the beginning and the end'."

After hearing this, Zhang and Sun were both stunned. It turned out that this was the case, and if they knew what it meant, they would understand much more.

Zhang Cheng asked again: "Does anyone say what that poem means?"

The yamen servant shook his head, "Several people said they had never heard of it, so they don't know what it means."

Thinking that his problem was solved, Sun Zhixin had to help Zhang Cheng, so he brought the poem over, carefully studied it for a long time, then suddenly slapped his forehead, and said pleasantly: "This is a poem for fans. What is said in this poem points to a class of people.”

Zhang Cheng was startled, and subconsciously asked, "What kind of person?"

Sun Zhixin was a little anxious, "Oh, think about it, homeless, leaning on a bamboo stick, holding a rice bowl, doesn't this mean beggars?"

Zhang Cheng was taken aback again. Now he took the answer to look at it, and he really felt that it was a beggar. After thinking for a while, he said happily: "This answer says that Yang Jin and Fan Yi are hiding in a pile of beggars in the northeast."

Sun Zhixin nodded.The two smiled knowingly, and after working for a long time, they finally had a clue, and immediately sent people to hunt them down.

It is the moon, and it is the beginning of winter.The entire Chengyang County is welcoming the winter, and the governor Pan Chenggui is performing sacrificial ceremonies in the northern suburbs. As for the people in the city, every household is celebrating. Smoke curls up from the household kitchens, and everyone is preparing a sumptuous lunch.

The beginning of winter mends the winter and mends the empty mouth.Therefore, on this day, Qingyu's family also got up early, went to the market to buy a bunch of chicken, duck, fish and other ingredients, and then the five members of the family worked together to prepare for the winter.

As the saying goes: If you don’t serve dumpling bowls in Lidong, no one cares about your ears being frozen.Naturally, this dumpling is indispensable.

Zhuifeng was cutting the leeks, Wen Ya was rolling out the dough, and the three "children" were in charge of making the dumplings.

But everyone has never made dumplings, so knowing and being able to do them are two different things.Shi'an and Hongtao didn't know what to do, so they could only look at the junior sister who was serious about doing it.

"Junior Sister Head knows how to make these dumplings?" Hong Tao was a little surprised.

Qingyu gave a faint "hmm", "It's not difficult."

I saw her holding the dumpling wrapper in one hand and scooping the stuffing in the other.Buckle the stuffing on the skin, then fold the skin in half with both hands, and pinch the edges tightly, and a semicircular dumpling will come out.

But looking at the uneven edge, Qingyu thought for a while, picked up the kitchen knife and cut along the edge side by side. After cutting off the extra circle of noodles, it looked much smoother immediately.

She put the wrapped dumplings on the plate, and at the same time said to Wen Ya: "Senior sister, this dumpling skin needs to be rounded."

Wen Ya felt bitter in her heart, she really felt aggrieved when she used her sword-wielding hands to roll out the dough.

Hongtao was stunned, "So it's so simple, it just looks different from the ones sold at the stall."

Shi'an smiled lightly, "The ones made at home are naturally different from those made outside."

Qing Yu hummed, "I'm used to talking about tricks when selling things, let's not do those fancy things."

The red peach followed suit, making a bag, pinching it tightly again, holding and admiring it with satisfaction for a long time.

The whole family packed half a plate, and suddenly there was a voice "Brother Bai~" from outside the courtyard gate, but it was Zhao Qian who heard the voice.

Zhuifeng quickly put down the kitchen knife and went to open the door.

Zhao Qian was carrying a jug of wine and a bag of sugar, Tong Shi was carrying a chicken and a fish, and there were two older children, two children and three children behind him. As soon as they saw the wind, the three children shouted "Hello, Uncle".

Zhufeng smiled politely, and invited Zhao Qian's family into the courtyard, "Come here, what are you doing with so many things, it's too outlandish, hurry up, please come inside."

"Today in Lidong, I just want to come and have a drink with Brother Bai. Look, do you still know each other?" Zhao Qian raised the wine jar in his hand with a smile.

After looking at it a few more times, Zhufeng laughed: "Isn't this the jar of wine in Fu County?"

"Exactly. I couldn't drink to my heart's content with my brother that day, so we'll have to get drunk today."

After entering the courtyard, Mrs. Tong went straight to the kitchen with the ingredients. First, she exchanged warm greetings with Wen Ya, then saw the messy pile of chopping boards, and saw Qingyu and the other three with flour all over their hands. She couldn't help laughing. Taking the rolling pin from Wen Ya's hand, she said:

"This dumpling, the skin should be thinner. If it is too thick, it will be boiled. The dough will be tough. If you eat it in one bite, it will not taste like a dumpling at all. You also have to pinch the shape of the dumpling, otherwise it will not be called a dumpling. Dumplings."

Seeing that Tong's hands were turning flowers, Qingyu quickly rolled out a thin and round dough, and then began to wrap the stuffing with his hands, kneading the edges, skillfully, and quickly kneaded a beautiful lotus leaf edge Come.

Hearts were surprised and clapped their hands: "It's exactly the same as the one sold at the stall. My aunt also taught me how to make it."

Qingyu looked at the dumplings she made again, and her heart was twisted, not too much, but she also followed Tong Shi to learn how to wrap lotus leaves.Although her hands are small, they are very skillful, and she learned it after just one reading, and quickly made a decent dumpling.

Qingyu pursed her lips and smiled and shook the dumplings in front of Shi'an. Shi'an saw her like a child waiting for an adult to praise her, and smiled softly: "You learn quickly and well."

Wen Ya was teased by Tong Shi, and she also laughed, "I'm really not good at kitchen matters. It's lucky that you came today, otherwise so many things would have been ruined."

Zhu Feng, who was sitting in the courtyard and chatting with Zhao Qian, turned his head and said, very dissatisfied: "My cooking skills have improved a lot."

Wen Ya nodded: "Well, now I can finally taste something."

Zhu Feng pursed his mouth, and quietly said to Zhao Qian: "I'm picky, it's good if someone cooks it."

Zhao Qian couldn't help laughing for a while.

Seeing that his expression is much better than before, and his figure is also much stronger, Zhufeng is very pleased: "Staying in the county guard's mansion, is it okay?"

Not wanting to, Zhao Qian sighed softly and smiled wryly, "Before I met my brother and your family, I would be satisfied if I could have such a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and my wife and children wouldn't have to worry about it.

But now, brother, the kindness you have treated our family is as great as a mountain. I want to repay the kindness wholeheartedly, but I don't know what I can do.To be honest, I'm really ashamed. "

Zhufeng was a little helpless, "Say these nonsense again. What about repaying favors and not repaying favors? If you say such things again in the future, I will not recognize you as a brother."

Zhao Qian chuckled, "I don't really want to repay my kindness." After a pause, he continued: "Actually, I have an idea in my heart, but I'm not sure, and I want to ask my brother for advice."

　Although the leader can't wrap, but he can cut, he just cut the edges round and firm
