MTL - The Sweet Little Fulang-Chapter 42
After the rectification and rest, Wei Lanxiang put the money in her pocket, and the family locked the door and happily went to town.
These few days are busy in autumn, and many people have confiscated the autumn rice. Some people have encountered carts carrying burdens along the way. They are very busy. It's all about the harvest, and the tanned face is full of joy.
In previous years, Lu Gu was taken by the Lu family to harvest the autumn season, and he was tired from working hard, but now, seeing the smile on his face when others harvested so much rice, he also felt the joy of a bumper harvest.
When we arrived in Fenggu Town, there were quite a few people on the street, and we could still see people carrying poles and pushing rice carts. Not all the people in the town were craftsmen, and ordinary people were also farmers. There was land outside the town. On, there is no difference with the country people.
Wei Lanxiang looked at the restaurants and bars on the street, and asked Shen Yaoqing, "I said Daqing, where do you think we should go to eat?"
Shen Yaoqing pondered for a while and said, "We haven't eaten at the Chenji restaurant. Why don't we go there. It's an old shop for many years."
"It's done, just go there." Wei Lanxiang hadn't eaten in a restaurant in the town for several years, so she was a little hesitant and didn't know where to go. At this moment, she also remembered that Chen Ji's sauce beef was very good, and Shen Shunfu took her when she was young. Have eaten several times.
Country people often eat chicken, duck and pork. Beef and mutton are expensive and rarely bought. Besides, the taste of braised pork in sauce made by the chefs in the restaurant is really different from that at home, so the next time you go to a restaurant, people who are a little more particular will order it. Beef in saucepan.
Chen Kee Restaurant is on East Street. Since it was decided to go there, there is no need to look around on the street. A group of six people turned into East Street and went straight to Chen Kee.
Xiao Er greeted them at the door, and as soon as they came in, he hurriedly said, "Please come in from the guest officer."
After sitting down, Shen Yaoqing and Shen Xuanqing asked Wei Lanxiang to pick up the favorite food. There are many of them, and there are two tall men. Even if they are dressed as country people, they can come in and eat with money. Xiao Er poured water for them, and reported the name of the dish while pouring it, and his lips were quick and smooth.
Lu Gu had never been to a restaurant before, so he didn't know anything about ordering.
After listening to Wei Lanxiang, she pondered for a while and then said, "Come on, get some beef and duck feet with sauce, then a big elbow, and make two pots of good wine."
She doesn't have any vegetarian dishes, so she can fry them at home. The food in the restaurant is expensive, and eating vegetarian dishes is not worth it. Only these few large meat dishes are enough.
"Okay, wait a minute, guest officer, and have a cup of tea first." Xiao Er threw the towel over his shoulder and called the name of the dish to the back kitchen. A few more people came in at the door, and he stepped forward to greet him.
Wei Lanxiang lived a good life with Shen Shunfu when she was young. She had seen the world. She was not shy about ordering food, and she was not stingy. Most of the meat and drinking must have gone into Shen Xuanqing and Shen Yaoqing's belly. If you can't eat too much, you will be full.
Even if she is partial to her two sons, the family earns the bulk of the money from them, and she gets the money for the restaurant today from her two sons.
"Is there any green plum brewing?" Shen Xuanqing asked when he saw Xiao Er had made two pots of wine.
"Yes, sir, would you like a pot?" Xiao Er asked with a smile.
When I asked about the price of green plum brew, it was three cents more expensive than outside. Shen Xuanqing asked him to make a pot. Seeing this, Wei Lanxiang didn't say anything. Since Shen Xuanqing asked for it, she couldn't go out. Son face is not.
The sliced beef in sauce and the duck feet with distiller's grains came up, and the roasted elbows had to wait for a while until they were hot and soft.
The meat and wine are all here. I am happy today. Even Lu Gu and Shen Yan have a small half glass of wine.
Wei Lanxiang laughed so hard that her mouth couldn't close. After drinking the wine, she hissed softly and said quickly, "Eat meat, eat meat, today, let's go back after we've had a good meal."
The food at Chen Kee Restaurant is a bit more expensive, but the meat is all large plates. The beef in the sauce has a strong flavor, not tough or woody. It tastes like a meaty and refreshing taste.
Lu Gu had never eaten beef before. He took a slice and tasted it. He felt that there was no such fragrant meat anymore. He stuffed the remaining half of the meat into his mouth, and his eyes widened slightly as he chewed on the meat. He seemed surprised. With this appearance, Shen Xuanqing, who glanced sideways at him, couldn't help but chuckle, then took a piece of beef for him and handed it to the chopsticks.
Lu Gu hadn't finished chewing in his mouth, his cheeks were slightly bulging and he couldn't speak. He glanced at Shen Xuanqing and found a smile on Shen Xuanqing's face, so he carefully clamped the piece of beef.
Shen Yaoqing ate and drank, and when he was happy, he said to them, "I heard people say that you eat beef in winter to ward off the cold and warm your stomach. When that time comes, I will buy a large piece to take home, and I won't cut it, so let's just eat it like that."
"Look how beautiful you are, and you don't even want to eat big chunks." Ji Qiuyue gave him a sideways look, even though she said that, the smile on her face did not diminish.
People don't live to make life better, so even just talking about it is enough to make people feel happier.
The glutinous rice wine is fragrant and refreshing, but the smell is different. The fermented duck feet are a little salty with the wine aroma, which is salty, fresh and fragrant.
The warm big elbows were also brought, and a large plate was placed in the middle of the table.
"Come here with a bowl or plate." Shen Xuanqing said to Xiao Er, the meat of the elbow was soft and rotten, not to mention the lean meat, and the fat was not easy to clip. Take the bowl and then don't be afraid.
The little two-handed feet were quick, and they quickly brought them bowls, one for each.
Everyone's chopsticks were heading towards the elbows. Lu Gu was one step behind the others and didn't dare to take the lead. Besides the five pairs of chopsticks, he was also afraid that he would stick out and block others. He could smell the big elbows before he could eat them. Such a strong aroma of meat, even after eating beef and duck feet, it can still make people greedy.
After everyone else had caught it, Lu Gu was about to stretch out his chopsticks, but Shen Xuanqing, whose arms were much longer than his, put a piece of fat and thin elbow meat into his bowl.
Wei Lanxiang was eating meat, and her mouth was smeared with oil. She smiled and glanced at her second child. At first, this kid thought that he couldn't get along with Lu Gu, but now he has learned to hurt people.
Knowing that Lu Gu was cautious, Shen Xuanqing naturally had to let his husband eat well when he went out to eat for the first time, otherwise he would not be able to be a husband.
The red and shiny big elbow is hot and soft, the fat meat is soft and rotten but not greasy, the meat is mellow and mellow, and the lean meat is also tender and soft, it is a pleasant and palatable taste.
Country people like fatty meat, and it will satisfy their cravings, and Lu Gu is no exception.
After eating the meat and drinking the sweet and sour green plum stuffed, even Shen Yan sighed with satisfaction.
"Okay, come next time." Wei Lanxiang nodded and promised her.
Seeing that her daughter was so happy to have a meal, the corners of her eyes gradually became moist. The brothers Shen Yaoqing and Shen Xuanqing were fine. A few years ago, they were fifteen and twenty, but her little daughter had no father when she was just over eight years old. Well, even if I ate some good food when I was young, I was too young to remember and forgot the taste. I have been suffering from eating bran and pharyngeal vegetables with them over the past few years.
I was happy today, and the tears were plainly worrying. Wei Lanxiang had beaten the man. After she cheered up, she figured it out more than in previous years. She turned her head and pretended to wipe her mouth with a handkerchief. She secretly wiped away the tears, and returned Go ahead and eat and drink happily.
Everyone else at the table actually saw it, but when they saw her recovering, they didn't say a word, happily eating meat and drinking, joking from time to time, lively and happy.
Lu Gu was more cautious when picking vegetables. Wei Lanxiang put chopsticks and elbow meat on Shen Yan, and turned to see him. The mothers are all soft-hearted. Lu Gu is not like Shen Yan, and it is even more miserable under Du Hehua's hands. , she took another chopstick for Lu Gu and said, "Eat the millet."
"Mother." Lu Gu's eyes were full of gratitude, he didn't know what to say, so he whispered to mother, making people softer.
Shen Xuanqing sat next to him, watching and listening, the harmony in the family is the best thing in the world.
—
The wine is full and the meat is full, that is, Wei Lanxiang is a little bit painful when the account is settled, and it is good meat and good wine. It is completely different from the wine they usually buy in the village. For this meal alone, they ate six hundred and fifty cents, six How much money? Fortunately, she had enough money to go out, so she wasn't embarrassed.
Xiao Er sent them out, and with the voice of "Guest officer, walk slowly, you will come again", the family went home satisfied.
The sun was in the west, the sky was full of clouds, and the red glow reflected on the faces of pedestrians. Wei Lanxiang and Ji Qiuyue were walking in front, Lu Gu and Shen Yan were one step behind, and at the end were Shen Xuanqing and Shen Yaoqing.
Turning out from Dongjie, and going forward, you will be out of the town. Who would have guessed that before she left, Ji Qiuyue had sharp eyes and saw a fairly familiar figure approaching on the street, but it was Lu Wen, and Lu Wen followed behind. A maid and a servant, this is really like the two young masters in the town.
"Who am I supposed to be, it's the young master of the Lu family." Ji Qiuyue became angry when she remembered those bad things, she couldn't hide her words when she was young, and said, "It's different when you climb up Gaozhi'er. If you look at another taller branch, I am afraid that you will regret the marriage again, and then you will be thrown into the town as a shame, don’t blame others for poking your spine.”
When Lu Wen saw them, he felt bad in his heart, and when he heard these expressions, he looked down. He held the handkerchief tightly in his hands. Although the servant behind him didn't know the Shen family, he couldn't tell that he was scolding. Lu Wen, immediately shouted: "Who are you scolding you if you don't have long eyes?"
Shen Yaoqing and Shen Xuanqing both came forward. The two brothers are taller than the other. No one can compare to a servant. With her man here, Ji Qiuyue is of course not frightened, she sneered and said, "Who am I scolding? Snobby, scolding him for disliking the poor and loving the rich, scolding him for repenting of his marriage and hooking up with wild men!"
"Okay, you slut..." Before the swear words came out of the little servant's mouth, he saw Shen Yaoqing standing in front of Ji Qiuyue, his brows filled with anger, and said, "You are a man when you yell at women? Today we are talking about the person who has no conscience and will be punished by God, if you are not convinced, come and tell me, let's compete."
Although he was not as tall as Shen Xuanqing, he was taller than an ordinary man. His physique was naturally not weak after working all the year round. The little servant who bullied others was cowardly at once, but so many people on the street looked at him and could only stand in front of him with his neck stuck.
Lu Wen wants to save face the most, seeing more and more people watching, Ji Qiuyue's shrewd mouth is so powerful, he can't afford to lose this person, so he can only persuade the servant in a low voice: "Okay, it's just some vulgar and slanderous words. , why bother with them, if there is a big official mess to ask, wouldn't it hurt them."
"I came from a poor family, and the most important thing I know is that it is not easy for people in the country to enter the yamen and face a board, or go to jail. How can a family live? Forget it, go back and just pretend that you didn't hear it." Lu Wen backed down again and again. To be forbear, but also a look of compassion.
Ji Qiuyue laughed angrily at him, and said loudly: "Go and go, when you arrive at the yamen, I will show the original marriage certificate to the big guys to see who has made a marriage and regretted it. People hooked up."
Hearing this, Lu Wen's face turned pale, and the handkerchief in his hand was about to rot. He was annoyed in his heart, but there were more and more people, so he had to leave first.
Ji Qiuyue was a little angry, and even Wei Lanxiang patted her on the arm, but Lu Wen's words just now let them know that the restless pair must have hooked up with powerful people in the town, but so what? , scolding, scolding, facing this person who hates his teeth, where can he think of anything other than anger and resentment.
Lu Gu hid behind and didn't dare to speak out. He was married to Lu Wen, and it was a blessing that the Shen family didn't beat and scold him, so how dare he speak at this time.
Shen Xuanqing didn't say a word, but after hearing what Lu Wen said, he remembered that Li Mingshan, surnamed Li, who had asked someone before. If you know a brothel thug, it's not difficult to deal with.
