Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 267

At noon, a series of delicacies flowed down the stream from the source, and the guests sitting on both sides of the stream had already held up their chopsticks, waiting for their favorite delicacies to float in front of them and pick them up.

The first ones are wine-based fruits and side dishes, including lychees, longan, kumquats, Xijing pears, pomegranates, Huima grapes, sugarcane, ringo, etc. There are sixteen kinds of fresh fruits.Every kind of ten Xiaochou has its skin removed, its core shaved, and it can be eaten when you pick it up.

There are also sixteen salty and sour dishes, such as fried ginkgo, fried cherry, Jiaqingzi, Xichuan lactose, kumquat, lion candy, frost bee, and dried plantain.

The jasper-colored dish contains various kinds of crystal clear fresh fruits, flowing slowly down the stream, waiting for the gifted scholars on both sides to choose.Wen Shu skipped the trays of sugarcane and Lingo floating in front of him, and stared straight at the kumquats that had not yet floated upriver.

The round and golden kumquats are placed on a jasper-colored plate, and under the refraction of the sun and the stream, there is a faint halo, like shining golden eggs, which looks very attractive.

Kumquats are originally produced in Jizhou Prefecture on Jiangnan West Road. Due to the long distance and difficult transportation, the price has always been quite high. Later, because the queen of the former official family loved eating it very much, the price has risen again and again.

Up to now, it has become a fresh fruit that high-ranking officials and nobles can afford, and it can be sold for [-] yuan per catty.

It is said that she has opened a shop now, and she earns money every day. It is not that she can't afford to be cruel, but there is nothing that must be eaten for this precious thing, except that she buys half a catty for new year's festivals. How can I not bear to buy it.

Now the free kumquats are floating down one by one, beckoning to her like golden eggs, Wen Shu is really jumping for joy.

"This longan is bright in color, it should be new, young lady, try it." Seeing that there was no fruit plate in front of her, Lu Xingwan just pretended that she was restrained, and hurriedly handed her the plate beside her.

Naturally, Wen Shu would not refuse Miss Lu's kindness. Just now she was so focused on kumquats that she missed longan and litchi every time she thought about it.

Although the price of these two fresh fruits is not as high as that of kumquats, for ordinary people like Wen Shu, they are also rare to eat.Looking at the white and round flesh in the sapphire dish, he couldn't help twisting one and throwing it into his mouth.

"Well, it's delicious, and it's still iced!" As soon as the longan meat was imported, Wen Shu immediately narrowed his eyes in comfort.

At this time, the weather was already quite hot, as if she was only wearing a thin shirt and long skirt, she also felt that the skin under the thin shirt was slightly hot.

"Big girl, eat more too." After tasting two Wenshu tablets, she handed the plate back, thinking that her shop should also buy some ice.

"Iced it?" Lu Xingwan was a little surprised, and immediately took the fruit plate from Wen Shu's hand, "It's better for the little lady to eat less."

"Why?" Wen Shu didn't understand.

"The mother said that women should eat less raw and cold food."

Thinking of Miss Lu's body, Wen Shu expressed her understanding, but she couldn't help herself.
"It's okay, I'm in good health." After saying that, he went to pick up the plate in Lu Xingwan's hand.

Lu Xingwan moved her hand away, "Farewell, the body is the most important thing, there are still a lot of fruits underneath, why don't you try something else, little lady?"

Girl, you are almost unfit for an heir, and you are still eating here!

Thinking of what Doctor Cangzhou said, Lu Xingwan was troubled.
Seeing Miss Wen like this, I'm afraid she doesn't know about it yet, so should I tell her?Can she bear it after knowing it?
She was hesitating and hesitating, but Wen Shu next to her was already proudly patting her chest, "It's okay, my body has been solid since I was a child, I eat this iced food every summer, and now my health is still very good."

She did this movement very naturally, but she forgot that she was attending a poetry meeting right now.No, Second Lady Duan, who was two blocks away from her, saw her behavior and immediately sneered in her heart.

"Sure enough, it's a "rough guy" from Cangzhou, who can't get on the stage."

Looking at Lu Xingwan, who was chatting and smiling with her, and looking at the "not young" nobleman, Duan Shufang's heart suddenly moved.

"Sister Lu's song "Bi Lian Tian" just now is really amazing. Cangzhou is really outstanding, and it has raised such outstanding talents as my sister."

For this sudden compliment, Lu Xingwan felt very inexplicable. Just outside the garden, the second girl was teasing her with insincere words, why did she change her sex now.

She really didn't want to talk to her, but she had to respect etiquette in public, especially not to embarrass her brother.

"Sister Duan's reputation is too high, but it's just a sloppy work. Those sitting here who are taller than me can be seen everywhere. They are the brilliant talents raised in the blessed land of the cave."

"My sister is too humble. The gentlemen are naturally talented, but my sister is not bad. By the way, this cousin of the Lu family is also from Cangzhou, right? That must be a family history, so why not write a poem just now?" First, let everyone take a look."

Regarding the sudden change of the topic, Wen Shu expressed a dazed expression. If she hadn't seen everyone looking at her, she would have almost forgotten that she still has a "cousin" identity.

At this time, she was suddenly raised and couldn't help being a little nervous, because she still didn't understand why Miss Lu wanted to give her the identity of a "cousin".

Fearing that there might be something inside, she dared not answer casually.But seeing that everyone was looking at her and waiting for her to answer, they could only glance slightly and signal to Lu Xingwan.

"be honest."

Upon receiving this answer, Wen Shu immediately felt relieved, coughed lightly and said with a smile, "I don't know how to write poetry."

As soon as the words finished, Duan Shufang covered her mouth in surprise, "Ah! I must have been reckless. The Li family is a wealthy family in Cangzhou. Although they are merchants, they have raised such a smart and transparent person as my sister. Recently, the family style has been changed, and all the children can read poetry and prose, I never thought that I was talking too much, and I hope my sister will not blame me."

Since she didn't know how to write poetry, she directly rose to the height of the Li family's family. This second lady Duan is really not a good person, Wen Shu thought silently.

She doesn't care much about herself, but the big family seems to pay special attention to reputation. Now because of her words, the Li family's family style has been involved, and even Miss Lu's life experience has been turned over.

The second lady Duan is vaguely reminding the world that although Lu Xingwan is the daughter of the Hou family, she was raised in a merchant's family.

Thinking of this, Wen Shu looked at Lu Xingwan worriedly.
Unlike her annoyance, Lu Xingwan was very calm.From her point of view, Duan Shufang was still complaining about the divorce, and wanted to use this matter to redeem Duan Qinying's stigma due to the divorce.

But she made a wrong calculation. It was no secret that she raised Cangzhou since she was a child. It is a well-known fact, and she said it now, it will only make people think that she is immeasurable.

And if she was raised by a merchant, and her family background is not high, how could the Anping Bo Mansion, where she was engaged before, be any better?

It's not her who is talking about stealing a chicken without losing money.
