Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 47

On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the stove will be sacrificed to send the stove king to heaven. Every household is busy cutting window grilles and making flower buns.

When Wen Shu came back from Liyuan, he plunged into the iron box.

The end of the year is approaching, and the family will start to prepare new year's goods from tomorrow, but the front shop has spent a lot of money on repairs. The six pennies earned from selling peaches last time were scraped off for the wood for the doors and windows, and the remaining four pennies have been spent until now. I'm afraid there are not many left, and the two sets of birthday materials that her father worked day and night to sell were not sold.

If you don't make any more money, how will you live this year!

Helpless, she had no choice but to choose to enter the box and go to that world to find a way out.

Fortunately, after half a month, she has gotten used to the intensity of martial arts training. Although now sometimes her arms still turn sour after punching, it is much better than at the beginning, and the results are obvious.

No, early this morning she had fought two tricks with Lu Shaoqing, who was resting in another courtyard. Although she lost two tricks and was despised by him, Wen Shu was still very happy.

Because Master Liu said that after only half a month of learning, she was able to compete with Mr. Lu, who had been practicing martial arts since childhood. Although there were only two moves, they were considered powerful, so she was not affected at all. Try to surpass that Lu Shaoqing one day, so that one day he is not pleasing to the eye, you can secretly cover him with a sack and beat him up.

It's a pity that this trip to the mountains and seas didn't go well. She was very unlucky to be teleported to a snow mountain. As far as she could see, there was nothing but white, and she walked aimlessly in the heavy snow. After a quarter of an hour, it was sent back by the system.

That's right, this time it's two quarters of an hour, or three and ten minutes in the words of the system.

Wen Shu found that every time he went in, the time he stayed was increasing. Although the increase was very small, only a few minutes, it was a real increase.

Flashing back from the box with a snowstorm all over her body, Wen Shu patted the fine snowflakes on her body and stomped her feet, shaking the snow foam off her shoulders and back, then rubbed her face to make her look look As rosy as possible, I went out of the room and went to the kitchen to make lunch.

Since the evening is the main event, she cooks very simple lunch. A piece of minced meat tofu plus half a fish leftover from yesterday is the lunch for the father and daughter.

"Tomorrow is your birthday, what birthday gift do you want?" Wen Tai asked while eating at the dinner table.

Wen Shu shook her head: "I don't want anything. The birthday is celebrated every year, so this year will be it."

Wen Tai seemed to know what she was thinking, and sighed: "Don't think so much, birthdays only come once a year, daddy is not capable, but he can still afford a dress and a box of rouge, didn't Ling girl come to our house last time?" He said, there is a new clothes shop opened on Yifeng Street, you two should go and have a look together when you have time, and if you like it, you can buy it.” While talking, he got up and went back to his room to take out the usual money.

"Father, this is the only money left in our family. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so let's save it for the New Year's goods." Wen Shu shook her head and refused to accept it.

"Who said, dad still left five hundred Wen."

Wen Shu sighed, and then heard her father say: "Besides, someone from outside the city came to invite Dad to the countryside just now. The other party is from a rich family. Although Dad is not the only one invited, the wages will definitely not be low, so don't worry about it." .”

"Going to the countryside? Which family? Didn't Dad not accept the work of going to the countryside?"

"I didn't accept it in the past because we couldn't win our own birthday cakes. Where could we go on business trips? Now two sets of birthday cakes are piled up in the shop and no one buys them. I still have to sit at home and wait. And near the end of the year, my grandson's family goes out. The wages are high, and there are two rounds after finishing the work.”

Wen Shu hesitated, and asked, "Where is it outside the city? Is it far away? Is there someone to pick me up?"

Her father's refusal to go to the countryside is not only because the family can also do the work or can earn more by doing it by himself. The most important thing is that if the people who go to the countryside are far away and it is inconvenient to go back and forth, the master's family will usually stay overnight.

And Wen Tai was worried that it would be unsafe and inconvenient for his daughter to be alone at home, so he never took on the work of going to the countryside.

"It's not far away. It's at Quanzhuang. If you want to pick up and drop off, you can go out of the city gate and walk eastward for a while."

In this way, there is no pick-up, and the name of Quanzhuang is a bit familiar!
Wen Shu thought about it carefully, and suddenly frowned: "It's not far away, Dad, I don't know where Quanzhuang is. It's nearly ten miles away from the city gate, and Xiaocha Lane is a short distance away. The five miles between the city gates add up to fifteen miles, and the daily round trip is thirty miles. If you are tired from working during the day, and then you get up early and drive in the dark, how will your body be able to bear it? No, this job Can't take it."

"It's okay, Dad's travel is fast, it won't take much time, and the wages of this shop are high, there will be no such shop after passing this village."

Wen Shu thought for a while, "Then dad should stay overnight at the master's house, and don't have to come back every day."

"How about that, you are a daughter's family"

Before he finished speaking, Wen Shu interrupted him: "Your daughter is not an ordinary daughter's family, no one in Xiaocha Lane doesn't know my reputation, whoever is stupid dares to find it boring, who really has eyes and is a disciple?" Son, look at me beating him indiscriminately, making him cry father and mother."

Seeing her raising her boxing hands with a ferocious look, Wen Tai couldn't help laughing.

"I know you can't suffer, it's just that the reputation is not good. You are now seeing people. I just wish that others will suffer from amnesia and forget about your strange strength. How dare you make it public again."

"I don't care. If you don't agree, then don't take this job. I won't pass this birthday, and I won't buy clothes and rouge." As he spoke, his eyes turned red, and mist appeared in his eyes.

Wen Tai was startled, his heart was sore and soft, he was silent for a long time and sighed: "Okay, then remember to lock the courtyard and room doors before you go to bed, keep a low profile on weekdays, don't be eye-catching, if you really Don't be too polite if you meet Deng Tuzi, because you have great strength, nothing is more important than safety."

Wen Shu nodded obediently, so the matter was settled. After dinner, she also started steaming steamed buns and cutting window grilles.

The main material of Huamo is flour, which is actually a well-made trowel. It is generally divided into two types: worshiping gods and visiting relatives.As for the latter, it is more casual. What style you want to make depends on the mood and craftsmanship of the person who makes the bun.

In the past, Wen Shu did these things, and all the work was clear by heart, but this year she studied in school for a year, and learned a lot of pastry styles from Chef Ji. Some of the patterns are beautiful, and she thinks a little change , can also be used on flower buns.

This busy work was over in one afternoon.

At nightfall, the streets and streets of Tokyo are all lit up, illuminating the dark night and cold sky like daytime. In the alleys, children are wearing thick padded jackets with sweet and sticky sesame candies in their pockets, running wildly chasing and playing. .

The housewives chanted the stove-sacrificing ballads in the kitchen room.

"Grandpa Stove King, listen up, you've seen the sky in the kitchen. I eat and drink frugally, throwing rice noodles is a momentary mistake. The stove is so dirty, you old man has to take care of it." Take all this candied melon and give it to the Jade Emperor to have a taste. I will kowtow to you here, and you will have a good word with me when you go to heaven. Come back early on the first day of the new year and don’t delay. Come to our house to eat my steamed jujube Mountain bun."

After praying, slowly take off the statue of Kitchen God and burn it with fire, indicating that Kitchen God has gone to heaven.Until New Year's Eve, the new Zaojun portrait will be pasted up, and this will be the beginning of another year.
