Zhan Zhumen

Chapter 196 The Shih Tzu Tongue

In the Guangfengshui backyard, Huo Xi was watching the cloth being put into storage.

Now the entire warehouse, including the Sanyuan Lane side, is almost full of cloth.If this fails to win the bid, it will be a bit of a headache.

"Uncle, you pick up a dozen or so bolts of fine cotton cloth and send them to He Baihu's house. I heard that the children in his family are still young, so send some cotton cloth to make spring clothes for them."

"Okay. Where is Yan Qianhu?"

Huo Xi thought for a while, "Give it to me too."

"Okay, I'll go in person."

The uncle and nephew were talking, and the buddy walked in with Kan Er.

"You really are here."

"Brother Mu?" Huo Xi was a little surprised, and quickly came back to his senses, beckoning him to sit down at the stone table.

Yang Fu and his buddies went out to make tea for him.

Kan Er came in for the first time, looked around curiously, and said, "That's right." The little lady didn't sink because of being robbed of her identity, but she continued to improve herself and blazed her own path.

Kan Er admired it in his heart, the capital had seen many young ladies, but none of them looked like this one.

Seeing Huo Xi looking at him, he said with a smile: "My young master likes the whitebait you gave me last time, and I added two more bowls to the meal. No, the whitebait is also finished. I'll stop by to see if you have any more. What fresh river fish."

Huo Xi laughed, there is nothing more joyful than giving a gift to someone's heart.

"Your young master likes to eat as long as he likes. But silverfish tends to shine, so they can only be caught at night. During this time, my family is busy, so I don't catch any more at night."

Kan Er felt a little regretful, and asked casually: "What are you busy with?" A fisherman, what else is he so busy that he forgot to fish?
"I... my uncle's shop has contracted the military uniform business of a guard. I have been busy with this these days. My parents also help collect cloth everywhere, so I have no time to fish."

"Contracted the military uniform business of the guard?" Is it so powerful?Do you think this little lady is just making trouble, and now she is capable of doing business with the government?
After understanding Kan Er's gaze, Huo Xi was quite embarrassed.

"There is an older brother we know in the guard. He happened to be the escort officer when we were transporting grain. There is no announcement, Guangfengshui is a small business, and people may not be interested in it."

It turned out to be like this.Kanji nodded.

Contracting by the government is complicated. Sometimes it is not based on strength, but more on the preferences of the officials above.Guangfengshui only has a relationship of one hundred households, and it may be difficult to win the business of the entire guard.

"Hey, there's no whitebait to eat."

Huo Xi glanced at him, running around in the inner and outer cities these days, and also found out the identity of the other party.

There is only one Mu Mansion in the inner city that meets the conditions.

Thinking of the young master who likes to put on a straight face, and thinking about all the news about him, indeed, this identity is a bit embarrassing.

Her family reads like this, and the house doesn't want him to live.The young master of the Mu family, a former son of the Marquis, and the Xiping Marquis Mansion in the southwest is like a local emperor, there must be more people who want him to die.

Gee.

Inexplicably sympathetic.

"The river delicacies in this spring are not limited to whitebait. There are many delicious ones." Thinking that his whitebait would make him eat two more bowls of rice, Huo Xi couldn't help but speak.

"Oh? What else is delicious besides whitebait?" Kan Er was very interested.

"There are many, such as river prawns..."

"When will there be no river prawns?" Kan Er was not very interested.

"The spring river prawns are delicious."

Seeing that he was unmoved, Huo Xi said, "There are also mandarin fishes in spring. Isn't there a poem 'Egrets fly in front of Xisai Mountain, and mandarin fishes are fat in peach blossoms flowing water'? Think about it, peach blossoms are in full bloom in spring, When the wind blows it down the river, the mandarin fish jumps out of the water and grabs the peach blossoms to eat, and the mandarin fish that ate the peach blossoms, you can say whether it is delicious or not?"

Kan Er swallowed desperately, how delicious is the mandarin fish that ate peach blossoms!

"Can you catch it?"

"Yes. But if you want to eat mandarin fish with peach blossoms, you can't find them in all waters. You have to go to the place where peach blossoms are planted on the river bank to find them."

"Your family just has to find it, and I'll cover the price."

"Okay, then I'll let my parents find it."

"Yeah." Kan Er licked his lips, he didn't expect such delicious food, so looking forward to it.Seeing that the uncle of the little lady next to her was also swallowing, she immediately felt like a kindred spirit.

"What else is there?" The waterways in the south of the Yangtze River are criss-crossed, so there can't be just one or two types of river fish, right?
"Yes, there is also Spring's Xishi Tongue, which is also the most delicious."

"Xi Shi Tongue? What is that?" Never heard of it.

"It's a clam."

"River clam? Is that food edible?" Hidden in the river mud, can it be delicious?

Huo Xi had an expression of ignorance: "You don't understand this. Spring River mussels are the most plump, and they don't know how to cook them if they are not delicious. If you use them to make soup, they are so fresh that your eyebrows will fall off!"

"Really so delicious?"

"Of course, haven't you heard the folk saying 'Drink a bowl of mussel soup in spring, and you won't get prickly heat or sores in summer', it can be seen that it is a very good thing." Hey, I don't know the goods.

Kan Er was drooling again, and nodded desperately: "All right, then go ahead and look for it at your house, we have it all in our house. The price is up to you."

Huo Xi raised her eyebrows, so the young master stopped bargaining? "Okay, then you wait... for three days, come and get it after three days."

"Okay, I'll come back in three days." Kan Er left happily.

"Xi'er, I think my brother-in-law should look for peach blossom mandarin fish at the Taihu Lake. I'm afraid we don't have any here."

"Let Dad go to Liuhe to have a look. Then pay attention to the boats coming from Taihu Lake, and buy some from everyone."

Yang Fu nodded in response.

On the other hand, Kan Er went to the Imperial College to pick up his young master for lunch.

After finding a quiet restaurant, Kan Er talked about all kinds of spring river fish that he had heard from Huo Xi, drooling while talking.Mu Yan glared at him fiercely, and immediately lost his appetite when looking at a table of dishes with chopsticks.

Kan Er slapped himself on the mouth, making you owe, can't you wait for the young master to finish eating?
Now it's not just the young master, even he and Li have lost their appetite when they sit at the same table.

The three of them finished eating boringly, and Kan Er mentioned another matter, saying that Guangfengshui was contracting for the military uniform of the guard.

"When will she be able to touch this level?" Mu Yan was a little puzzled.

"I heard that he knew a hundred households in the guard, and that person sent her the news."

"Even if I handed over the news, she handed over the letter of application. I'm afraid it won't be easy to be selected." Li Yi shook his head. Most of the military business is stared at by people. She is a small business with no identity and background. difficult.

"Master", Kan Er moved the bench next to Mu Yan: "Master, please help her."

Mu Yan squinted at him: "Why should I help her?"

"Master, we have to be a little bit sympathetic, don't we? Look at the little lady, how pitiful she is. It's so difficult to live in the market with such a noble status."

"She is not the only one who is difficult." I am not difficult?

Ren Kaner struggled for a long time, but his young master didn't let go.
