Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 308 "Orchard Mountain" Jingshan

That side of the ice mirror is the same as the one in front of me, with ice in the middle and fresh fruit on the outside.However, the piece of ice looked obviously worse than the previous one, and it was also bigger than the previous one.

If the previous ice block was a piece of ice that can be seen as a guide, then this piece is an ice mirror covered with a layer of veil.It's so hazy that people can't see the inside clearly.

Sensing her movements, the servant hurriedly turned to this side to introduce again, his tone still enthusiastic, "This is the medium ice from our shop, which is also taken from Jingyu Lake, but the water level is lower, but the water quality is also good. It only takes [-] A piece of text."

The price is reduced by half, but the volume is twice as large as before.Wen Shu was a little moved, but still didn't make a sound on his face, and looked at Bing Jian next to him again.

"This is third-class ice, and it only costs fifty cents a piece." The enthusiasm in the boy's voice has obviously diminished a bit.

This piece of ice is about the same size as the previous one. Although the price has been reduced by half, there are quite a lot of impurities inside. With a rough sweep, you can see many yellowish-brown silk-like things floating inside, and a few grains of black mud. sand.

This kind of ice is absolutely not suitable for smoothies, it can only be used to freeze things through utensils, just like its mission at this time.

The advantage is that it is cheap.

But this is only relative to the top-grade ice and medium-grade ice.

It can only be used for freezing, and it is of little use to Wen Shu. After all, if it is just to cool the melons and fruits, her well water can do it.

Faced with the boy's mournful eyes, Wen Shu walked out of the ice shop.

After that, she went to a few more, but the prices were all about the same.The price of high-quality ice is between 150 Wen and [-] Wen. Guangji is the most expensive, but the ice quality is also the best.

The medium ice is between [-] and [-] Wen, and the inferior ice is between [-] and [-] Wen. Overall, it is still a bit more expensive than she expected.

Why. . . .The money is useless, Wen Shu sighed and shook his head.

Just wandering all the way back, when passing by a bamboo shop on the way, Wen Shu went in and ordered two hundred square bamboo cards, the size of an adult's palm.

In the situation at noon, I had to take the usual accounting paper to make a wish statement in a hurry. It is strange that no one raised any objection to the color of the paper, which is also strange.

Of course, even if they objected, she would have something to say.

But the white paper is a bit fragile after all, when Hong Ying showed her just now, it was damaged in several places, some were scratched by branches, some were scratched by Hong Ying.

This is even without rain.If it's raining, I'm afraid she won't be able to see it.

Bamboo cards are different. The cost is similar to that of paper, but the wear resistance is many times better than paper. As long as it is not blown away by the wind, it is not a problem to hang it for several months.

In this way, she doesn't have to worry about checking it every day, as long as she is free one day, it won't be too late for Hongying to pick it up.

After booking the bamboo card, Wen Shu went to Suixin Garden to book the Accord. Fortunately, she was lucky and got a Songzhuyuan as she wished.It is located in the westernmost corner of the Xinxin Garden. Several clumps of green bamboos and two dwarf pines are planted in the courtyard. The overall environment is quiet and solemn, and it is very suitable for entertaining court officials like Mr. Lu.

After the yard was booked, it was getting late, Wen Shu stopped wandering around and hurried home.

When I got home, it was half past unitary hour, and the setting sun in the sky was like blood, casting a faint red on the roofs in the alley.

After reheating the rest of the meal at noon, the father and daughter ate hastily, and then went back to their own work.

Father Wen sat by the well by the moonlight and practiced carving with a wooden stick as long as a child's arm, while Wen Shu went back to his room and carried Hongying into the iron box.

Early the next morning, a strange smell swept the entire alley.

"What's the smell, so fragrant?" Mrs. Guo opened the courtyard door and sniffed.

"It seems to smell like chicken." Mrs. Li said.

"No, it's fruit flavor." Mrs. Wang said.

"How could it be fruit, it's obviously meaty." Mrs. Zhao said.

"My nose has never missed the smell. If I say it is fruity, it must be fruity."

"I said it smelled like meat."

"Okay, stop arguing." Mrs. Guo wiped her hair from her temples, stood up and said, "Just ask and you'll know what it is." After finishing speaking, she walked towards the Wen's house opposite.

Seeing this, the other women hurriedly followed.

In Wen's kitchen, Wen Shu was squatting in front of a small stove with a pottery urn on it, and chicken soup was being boiled in the urn.

It is said to be chicken soup, but it is not, because the stuff in it was brought out from the world of mountains and seas last night, and because it looks like a chicken, it is called chicken soup.

Yesterday she went to a place, and as soon as she landed, she was surrounded by the fragrance, and when she opened her eyes, she realized that she was in a peach forest.

It is not a peach forest full of peach blossoms, as bright as the clouds, but a peach forest with many fruits and bent branches.The red and big peaches are like little red lanterns hanging on the tree.

It was early in the morning, and some peaches were still covered with crystal dew, which looked very attractive.

Wen Shu picked one nearby and swallowed it, it was sweet and delicious.

It was so sweet, crunchy, and delicious that it was indescribable. It could be said that it was the best peach she had ever eaten in her life.Even Hongying, who usually doesn't like to eat fruits very much, couldn't stop eating the peaches, eating one after another.

Wen Shu, who is a little money fan, naturally cannot be satisfied with one or two peaches. In her eyes, it is all money.Immediately, he took out the sack from the storage bag and started picking peaches.

The peach tree is not very tall, and its branches are drooping under the weight of numerous fruits, so that Wen Shu's tree climbing skills are useless. Most of them can be reached by reaching out.

Of course, this also greatly accelerated Wen Shu's speed of picking peaches, saving her a lot of time.After picking up three sacks full of red and big peaches, she slowly stopped.

It wasn't that there were not enough sacks, or that the basket couldn't fit, but that she was attracted by something else.

Pheasant under the tree!
Let's call it a pheasant, because it looks like a pheasant, except that the feathers are green all over, and only the feathers on the beak and tail are yellow.If it weren't for the dazzling colors of these two places, and their sudden chirping, Wen Shu would not have noticed them blending into the grass at all.

But it was the bored Hong Ying who had finished eating the peaches that caused the pheasant to scream.

The red figure croaked and hovered over the peach forest, and the flock of chickens flapped their wings and frightened away.It stands to reason that if so many pheasants run at the same time, it will inevitably bring about a "fishy wind".

But when the flock of chickens left in shock, they didn't bring up the slightest fishy smell. Instead, the scent was stronger, a sweet scent that was integrated with the peach forest.

The strange phenomenon caused Wen Shu to stop picking peaches, and think carefully, what is the name of this mountain?

Oh, by the way, it seems to be called Jingshan.

Jingshan, Jingshan. Wen Shu suddenly opened his eyes wide.

She remembered, this is the legendary "Orchard Mountain."
