Husband, Have Dinner

Chapter 68: A Yao's household registration

The next day, Pei Shuo asked people to hand over a greeting card to visit.

"Are you here to look for Yaozhu?" Mochizuki asked. This time she won't stop Pei Shuo and show him the way, "Saozhu is in the kitchen. Please take care of it, Master Pei."

Pei Shuo shook his head, "No, I'm here this time, specifically to find you Mochizuki. I am for Ayao's household registration. Just yesterday, due to the severe drought in the world, it has not rained for a long time. He issued an edict after the sacrifice to heaven. The illegal households and escaped households in the world are registered."

"That has nothing to do with me, I and the little bird's nest are good people... The scallop is a black household? How could it be possible!"

Pei Shuo told Mochizuki what happened in Jiangliu County before and after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The Lu family's affairs were not over yet. A large number of bones and corpses of children were dug up in their backyard. The evidence of life was conclusive. No one outside Lu Yuan's family could run away, so he immediately asked to kill them.

As for the corpses of those children, they could find their parents or relatives and take them back into the soil for security. There were also unidentified ones. Pei Shuo found someone who resembled A Yao, who was disguised as A Yao and was killed.

Transport it back to Jiangcun, Liuya's uncle's house.

It is said that Liuya's uncle and her aunt didn't even look at it at the time, so he jumped a few steps away in disgust, saying that it was not their Liuya.

The Ya Ya received the money that Pei Shuo gave. According to his words, he said in front of many villagers that they sold their children with 600 characters to be used as rations for the Lu family. The Liuya neighborhood knew about it. What kind of virtue is the uncle and aunt of Liuya family?

Hearing that they are not doing well now, he gave A Yao a sigh of relief.

The most important thing is that because Liuya is "dead", A Yao erased her household registration from Uncle Liuya's house, and got rid of countless troubles that might be caused by Uncle Liuya in the future.

"So, you want A Yao to be included in my household registration?"

Mochizuki figured it out, asked someone to bring A Yao over and told her about it.

A Yao was stunned by the news, and she didn't recover for a long time. When she recovered, she cried and laughed, her face was full of tears, and there was a smile on her mouth.

"Ayao, what do you think, do you know about this?" Mochizuki asked Ayao.

"Well, I know." She thought for a long time, but Pei Shuo did what she was hiding in her heart. She cried for her release from the sea of ​​suffering, not afraid that Uncle Liuya would come out and sell her again, crying that she became duckweed. , Even the nominal clan is gone.

But the momentary joy from the suffering is difficult to express in words, and I just want to give Pei Shuo a big bear hug.

Mochizuki frowned. In her opinion, Pei Shuo's actions were not appropriate.

No matter what, Yaozhu is also surnamed Jiang. Although he is not sure about their family, he directly erased his identity, like abandoning his ancestors.

Her uncle did such an unreasonable thing to her, and leaving is not a bad thing. If it was A Yao who came forward, it would be understandable, but Pei Shuo could do it instead...

Who is Pei Shuo from A Yao?

As far as identity is concerned, Pei Shuo is the son of the founding marquis, and will become the future little marquise. His status is indescribable. But as for A Yao, who has no ancestors and parents, a little cook, is this appropriate?

Mochizuki melancholy.

I just hope that my little apprentice won't get stuck in mud... After the new year, she will be eight years old. Is she thinking about this a little too far now?

Mochizuki tangled up and looked at A Yao again.

Ayao wiped away the tears from her face. The original owner had no memory of her parents. Her parents died when she was still in her infant. Dad thought that she was a girl and she was not willing to adopt her parents. He threatened to give it to her. They drowned her.

Liu Ya is a girl and is not eligible for the genealogy. The so-called relatives will not let her register for a few acres of Susukada. Only then did the clan discuss that Liu Ya Niang's younger brother should adopt her.

Uncle Liuya had no children at that time.

After a few years of adoption, Liu Ya grew up and began to be curious about the world. However, it was also at this time that Uncle Liu Ya was pregnant, and her bitter days followed.

In the memory of the original owner, she was full of fear for that home and had no nostalgia.

As for A Yao, the "home" that can live away from her original body is the best, because she doesn't know them at all, has no feelings, and will torture her. How can she not think about going back?

"Master is willing to let me into the house?" A Yao was overjoyed, looking at Mochizuki hopefully.

Mochizuki pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head, watching A Yao's small face collapse a little bit, the starlight in her eyes was dim, it was fake that it was not sad.

Her chest was stuffy, she really didn't expect Mochizuki would reject her, is she not doing well enough?

Or is it because she abandoned her past identity and feels that people like her are cold-hearted?

She did not expect that the complaints she occasionally talked about with Pei Shuo would be heard by him, and she would really handle it for her.

"Pei Shuo, thank you."

Mochizuki rubbed A Yao's head and said softly, "My identity is a bit special, I can't harm you. Master Pei, you can just give Yaozhu a household registration. You are still my apprentice, and it will not be affected by the household registration."

"Then let Master Mochizuki's advice, I'm the master alone, Pei Shuo, what should I do?" A Yao asked.

"In a few days I will pick you up to the county office for registration. The edict has not reached Nanxun County."

After talking about the business, Pei Shuo asked bitterly, "Is it right that if I don't come, you won't come to me, and the rivers and lakes have disappeared from then on."

Known through!

Ayao was embarrassed by Pei Shuo's disappointed face. If she nodded, it hurt the heart of a young boy in Pei Shuo. If she refused, she didn't know how it would develop in the future.

"I... I'll ask you to eat glutinous rice balls. Yesterday we made a lot of glutinous rice balls, and there are still glutinous rice **** that have not been cooked." She suddenly remembered that there are glutinous rice **** in the kitchen. Sweets can make you feel happy.

After eating the glutinous rice balls, explain clearly to Pei Shuo, it shouldn't be too bad.

Since Pei Shuo said that she wanted to accept her as a concubine, she has always felt that her relationship with Pei Shuo is very awkward, and she always feels that she is treated as a private property by Pei Shuo, and that Pei Shuo's goodness to her has exceeded the boundaries of ordinary friendship. .

She didn't like such unreasonable doubts and guesses. Maybe he was really kind and didn't mean anything else, but she looked at it with colored eyes.

Ayao, Ayao, why are you so hypocritical?

Feeling sorry for myself for a second, I still open it up when I have something to say, I will say it clearly, I won't think about anything.

Pei Shuo followed A Yao to the kitchen, and the dumplings floated in the soup pot.

When the glutinous rice **** had a layer of luster on the surface and all the glutinous rice **** floated on the surface, she picked up all the glutinous rice balls, four in a bowl, and she and Pei Shuo each had a bowl.

The two of them sat in front of the kitchen with no image, as if they had returned to the back kitchen of Qingning'an. "Your boiled noodles are really unpalatable, do you know that some people use bamboo shoots as the soup base, which is very astringent, but my mother does this too."

Pei Shuo spit out.

"You still eat it!"

"That's because I'm hungry! Oh, Ayao, did you put a hidden weapon in the glutinous rice balls?" Pei Shuo took a bite of the glutinous rice balls, biting his teeth into a hard object, and couldn't help but scream.

Ayao stretched her head to look, and was amused, "That's right, the glutinous rice **** that I made, Master Mochizuki and Little Bird's Nest didn't get the blessing money. You actually ate it. You will be blessed all year round in the coming year. Congratulations." To be continued. . Please browse for a better reading experience.

Chapter 69 Dumplings and sugar don’t throw away

Pei Shuo held the lucky coin in her hand, which was actually an ordinary copper coin. A Yao asked Mochizuki for three cents of money and wrapped them in glutinous rice balls.

Unexpectedly, after being called out and going out for a while, all three of them didn't get lucky money last night.

Oh that depressed.

"Ouch!" Pei Shuo called again, his poor front teeth, fixed his eyes, and laughed at the second coin, "Ayao, could it be you who put all the money in my bowl, right?"

"How is it possible? You wait." A Yao took a clean spoon and poked the soft glutinous rice balls. The inside was soft and there was no hard object. That was it! Pei Shuo watched Ayao's behavior and watched as she scooped a glutinous rice ball from her bowl and put it in his bowl, and swapped the glutinous rice ball in his bowl. Pei Shuo was amused. "You're a shame, you know." ?"

"Come and eat, then we are all blessed." A Yao preached brazenly, and then lowered her head to bite into the fragrant glutinous rice ball crust, the fragrant sesame filling flowed out, sweet, but could not get the blessed money. .

Pei Shuo let go of the blessed glutinous rice **** to eat what A Yao gave him, just a mouthful, and smiled openly. Today A Yao really brought him great joy, but after another thought, he deliberately raised his face and pretended not to eat. When he arrived at Fuqian, he asked annoyedly, "A Yao, how much do you put in the glutinous rice balls, are there only two?"

A Yao thought that Pei Shuo did not get the third blessing coin, and was still fighting to find the last blessing coin from her bowl, and casually replied, "No, I put three of them. I originally planned to have one for Master Mochizuki, bird's nest. One, one for mine, weird, where do we go?"

Pei Shuo couldn't help it anymore, laughed, and showed A Yao the glutinous rice **** wrapped in two blessed coins. The glutinous rice **** with blessed coins contained no fillings, which could be seen at a glance.

"A Yao, you gave me all your blessings, hahaha, how can you be so cute."

"..." Is this called shooting yourself in the foot?

Perhaps A Yao’s expression was too hideous, Pei Shuo hurriedly finished the glutinous rice **** and spit out two blessed coins, plus the three blessed coins that were eaten before, washed clean. "Now, I ate them all by myself, and you The blessings given to me cannot be shameless."

She grumbled, and next time you make glutinous rice **** or dumplings with blessed money, you must mark them. She doesn't believe in the luck of Laoshizi. A non-chief talks about luck and cheats obediently! "Who cares about you, I will find the red thread for you to wear it."

The red rope was twisted into twists, and the three copper coins were threaded. A Yao asked him to put the sachet in it, but he said that he made a pendant, hung it on his neck, and put it away.

Pei Shuo smiled brilliantly, with white teeth and gentle smile, dazzling her eyes, and playing beautiful tricks, so that she couldn't help but miss her heartbeat.

He said, "A Yao, I'm so happy. I didn't expect to receive a gift from you when I was about to leave. With your blessing, it will be as you said, the next year's blessing will come and be safe and smooth."

A Yao didn't hear it right, Pei Shuo's words contained heavy tragic and unwillingness to say, "You want to go home, why say goodbye to life and death."

"I plan to join the army."

Pei Shuo downplayed it, as if he had just eaten a dumpling.

Join the army! ?

A Yao widened her eyes, looked at him from top to bottom, and stretched out her hand to probe his forehead, "Are you crazy? How old are you to join the army, does your father know that he wants you to go!?"

"Although you are just staying away, I don't understand what you are thinking, but now you care about me again, I feel so happy."

Pei Shuo held his cheeks and looked sideways at A Yao, "What are you thinking about all the time?"

A Yao is crazy, is this time to consider this? She also wanted to knock Pei Shuo's mind and see what he was thinking, kid, wake up!

"I just think of you telling me that you want to marry me as a concubine, I am very awkward. Your words cause me too much trouble. Although you are only ten years old, I will take it seriously and keep thinking about it. Whenever you treat me well, I can’t help but think of what you have said, and I am also entangled. While enjoying your kindness to me, while secretly rubbing away from me, I will forget about the rivers and lakes earlier. What troubles are there? It's gone. Ah, why am I so entangled?"

The joy on Pei Shuo's face faded a little bit.

He looked at A Yao as if it was not a boy in front of her. She seemed to have seen such sharp eyes like a falcon everywhere.

"I treat you well, so do you bother you?"

"Because I have nothing to pay for. I don’t want to be the second Baiyun. When you’re a maid, I don’t want to be too kind to me. The more I owe, the more I will pay in the end. If you don't get up, you may be able to agree with you!"

A Yao finally broke out at this moment.

"I didn't expect to be your wife, and the status is too different. In this way, I can only be a concubine as you said, but I really hate the status of a concubine. I don't want to be the person I hate. The reason why I want to distance myself from you. Sometimes I think too much, always remember a certain sentence firmly, hoo~ I'm done."

She stroked her hair, sighed, and said all the stuff that was muffled in her heart. Now the whole person is much more relaxed.

Pei Shuo bowed his head and finished the last glutinous rice ball. The sweet sesame filling was a bit greasy, and the sweet and sticky glutinous rice ball skin was very full, but it tasted good. The cook at home could not make this taste. If he went to join the army, In the future, I can see A Yao and I won't have much chance to eat glutinous rice balls.

The two were silent.

A Yao is walking around in the courtyard, do you want to break the relationship or I will not ask you to play with you in the future, Pei Shuo, would you please give me something?

Pei Shuo was thinking about what she said.

Bird's Nest poked his head out, "Have you quarreled?"

A Yao hurriedly drove the people away, "Oh, you go with Master Mochizuki, we are talking."

When the bird's nest **** interrupted the weird atmosphere between them, Pei Shuo also made a decision. He subconsciously did not want to lose A Yao, a good friend.

Introspection carefully, he said to the little girl when he came up to marry her as a concubine when he grew up. This was really embarrassing. It's no wonder that A Yao sometimes avoided him like a snake and scorpion. He didn't like Aunt Feng at home when he changed him.

"A Yao." Pei Shuo's call came from behind.

It finally came, she clenched her fists, tightened her lips, turned around and responded in a low voice, waiting for the moment when Pei Shuo was sentenced to death.

Pei Shuo handed the bowl forward, "Ayao, do you have any glutinous rice balls? Let's have another bowl."

A Yao gritted her teeth, grabbed his bowl, and stepped into the kitchen "I really want to pry your head off and see what you are thinking!"

He grinned, "You cook me food, and I will pay off your debts. Mochizuki's regular food is worth 5,000 yuan, ten horses, and you will have a bright future with Mochizuki."

She was so surprised that she could squeeze an egg into her mouth. She knew that Mochizuki would be very expensive, but she didn't expect it to be so expensive!

The ancient version of the Michelin chef!

Thinking about it this way, she has a stronger mind to learn art, and now she has an independent registered permanent residence. With a master who is skilled in cooking, her life will be prosperous and better and better!

Uncovering the wooden lid, the remaining glutinous rice **** are a bit sticky, and a few sticks together. If they are cooked again, they will have no taste and taste even worse.

"Ah... I'll cook it for you again."

Pei Shuo didn't care. He was not a good food before. There are several cooks in the family. The taste is good for a while, and the taste is bad for a while. I heard that Mochizuki was here a while ago, and I always heard rumors about her in Beijing. Try her craftsmanship, so she invites people to the house, she really deserves her reputation.

"I even eat your noodles, and still dislike your glutinous rice balls? It's just a bit colder and softer, it doesn't matter."

Putting things aside, Pei Shuo told her to cook and repay the debt. A certain hypocritical woman finally let go of her entanglement and gave him a sideways look, "It's like I'm forcing you to eat, hum."

"I want to eat."

"After eating glutinous rice balls, my mouth is like smearing honey." A Yao brought out a large celadon bowl and looked at the glutinous rice **** leaving the soup one by one, suddenly remembering that the sugar would not be shaken.

Yeah, why doesn't she forget the candy?

That can be described as the twin brother of glutinous rice balls!

There are no peanuts in this era, but melon seeds or pine nuts can be used instead, or fried eggs can be cut into shredded eggs and sprinkled on top, which is another flavor.

However, the glutinous rice **** are made of glutinous rice flour, which is sweet and not degradable. Although the sugar is delicious, it is still fried in brown sugar. The three layers of sweetness with different taste bloom on the taste buds...

Just thinking about it, my scalp is numb, no, it's too sweet, it must be uncomfortable to go half way down.

"Pei Shuo, do you know how to make tea?" Ayao asked, "If you want to eat glutinous rice balls, please help with work. It's snowy, if you don't shake sugar, it's better with strong tea!"

Mochizuki got the news of A Yao's quarrel from the bird's nest.

The bird's nest saw that the atmosphere between them was rather stiff at the time. Pei Shuo was sitting on the threshold with a black face, and her eyes moved back and forth with A Yao. At that moment, she had the illusion that Pei Shuo wanted to be disadvantageous to A Yao, so she told Mochizuki when she pulled her leg.

The two masters and apprentices were worried that the little apprentice had an accident. They rushed to the back kitchen and saw one grinding and sifting tea, and the other was stirring it in the pot with a spoon. It was completely different from the strange atmosphere of the bird's nest, which was almost pinched---

If you say you want to pinch it?

It's hard to understand the needle in the heart of a child.

Mochizuki and the bird's nest flicked and exchanged thoughts.

Mochizuki coughed twice, walked out from behind the pillar and went to the kitchen to see what A Yao did.

In the wok, the surface of the pine nuts is slightly burnt and exudes a delicate fragrance. She stirs it for a few times and then uses a porcelain plate with shadow herring water pattern to set it up.

The stove also boiled brown sugar in a small iron pot. There are three pieces of **** floating in the brown sugar water. The white glutinous rice **** are dyed reddish in the thick brown sugar water. After a while, the small pot is slightly shaken to drain, and the glutinous rice **** are placed on the white porcelain. Among the printed peony flavour dishes, each flavour dish contains one.

In the end, pine nuts and egg peels were sprinkled on top. She thought about it carefully and remembered that there was a raisin from the Western Regions in the candied fruit, which was green in color and had a slightly sour taste. She also took it and sprinkled it around.

The sugar is fresh out of the oven.

Mochizuki said, "Saozhu, is there anything for us here? Two children can't hide quietly and eat, because eating alone is hard to fatten."

A Yao was taken aback, and blamed, "Master, there is nothing scary. You have wronged your apprentice too. No, it's for one person. There are also the uncle who is in charge of the flower garden and the aunts who are on the night. People feel more energetic, but they are not doing well now."

Mochizuki nodded in satisfaction, and glanced at the improved glutinous rice balls. "The recipe for glutinous rice **** looks fresh, when will they be made?"

"It’s coming soon, I’m going to miss Pei Shuo’s tea. The glutinous rice **** from yesterday are still used. I use brown sugar and **** water to boil the rice **** with **** juice. If you like it too sweet, you can chew the raisins and have a cup of matcha that is bitter and sweet. It's absolutely perfect-the above is purely a brain supplement."

Pei Shuo, Mochizuki and Bird's Nest nodded their heads after hearing her all the way, but at the last sentence, Ayao fully explained what is evil and unreliable.

"Master Mochizuki, try it soon."

Pei Shuo ordered the matcha. A black-glazed tea cup with partridge spots was placed next to the white porcelain-flavored plate. The reddish dumplings on the white porcelain-printed peony plate trembled softly. Mochizuki poked his chopsticks a few times, but it was not sticky. Chopsticks, then chew slowly in the mouth.

After eating, drink another cup of matcha.

She closed her eyes and savored.

A Yao looked at Mochizuki, but the atmosphere didn't dare to breathe, for fear that it would disturb her.

The bird's nest immediately picked up the chopsticks and ate it. She ate it quickly, stuffed it into her mouth and chewed, swallowed, picked up the matcha and drank it, and took it away for others.

So, how does it taste?

Ayao and Pei Shuo couldn’t help but start eating. The brown sugar **** water has a sweet and slightly spicy outer skin. The middle layer is sweet and slippery with exclusive glutinous rice. There is also a sesame paste filling on the innermost layer. It is very fragrant and has a nutty fragrance. The egg crust is greasy and has a rich taste. If you eat raisins, it will be superfluous, but if you change the order, after drinking the matcha, finally chewing a few raisins scattered around, the aftertaste will be prolonged.

She drank tea slowly, thinking.

After a long while, Mochizuki opened her eyes, and A Yao was still in front of her. She smiled and said, "Saozhu, you have a good talent, so don't be too happy, guard against arrogance and rashness in everything."

"Yes."

A Yao's mouth was grinning, Mochizuki glanced at Pei Shuo, who was happy for A Yao, and reminded, "However, the'sugar don't shake your mouth' will cook less afterwards."

A Yao, who was still smiling, put her smile away, she still wanted to make desserts to sell. "why?"

"I'll tell you a little story before going to bed tonight, and you know it." Mochizuki left the kitchen happily.

After Pei Shuo finished eating the glutinous rice **** and sugar, he touched his chest before leaving. The copper coin was still "I'm leaving. If you receive my letter in the future, remember to write back to me."

"Stop talking nonsense, talk to your father about the reason why there are half-aged children to join the army." Ayao remembered Pei Shuo's intentions. Apart from telling her about the household registration, he still came to say goodbye to the army, and she comforted her. "The winter solstice is over, and the new year will follow. There are still many days left, there is always a place for maneuvering."

"I'm not a half-year-old child." Pei Shuo held his breath. "I am a man, I can defend my family and the country, and protect the people I want to protect!"

It can be seen that joining the army is his idea, but...

Why does she still feel that Pei Shuo is because of her?

Haha, I probably thought more about it.

At night, the moon was clear and the dishes on the table in the yard were covered with snow.

Wearing a pink satin cloak with red feathers, A Yao climbed into the wooden clogs and slipped to the room next to Mochizuki, listening to Mochizuki telling stories.

"There is such a custom in Yushan. The Bingren takes the man's family to the woman's house for a blind date. If Guo's woman's family agrees to the marriage, they will entertain each other with no sugar, and the other party will understand. Just do it for yourself. Okay, don't make it for men anymore. Change to something that knows the meaning, and take it seriously. I immediately hired to propose a marriage three times and six times. It's too late to see you crying." To be continued.
