Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 148 Wu Erlang

"The peach blossoms bloom first in the warm spring, and no one can see the beauty, but it's a pity that the wind blows behind, and the bright red patches are dotted with berry moss."

The scholar wearing a square scarf and a scholar's shirt stood ten steps away from the two of them, looking up at the peach grove blown by the strong wind, and whispered softly, with some sentimentality in his words.

Wen and Shu, who were picking up flowers with their heads down, were startled for a moment, but then they both snickered.

Wen Shu even turned his head and joked to the scholar: "Don't feel sorry, Mr. Xiaolang. The fallen peach petals can be used as food and rouge. It's not better than pure viewing."

The young man was taken aback by what she said, seeing that the person who was speaking was a beautiful young lady of similar age, his face blushed immediately, he whispered "excuse me" and then covered his face and hurried away.

"Hahaha" Seeing this, Wen Shu couldn't help laughing.

Wang Ling also couldn't help laughing.

In the peach forest, which was as bright as red clouds, there was a burst of laughter like silver bells.

The sun rises and the moon sets, the stars move, and half a month passes in the blink of an eye.
During this time, Wen Shu went to sell food in the morning, and went to work at the Earth Temple with her father in the afternoon.

For her idea of ​​opening a teahouse, Wen Tai supported her with both hands. Originally, the longevity business he was engaged in was not suitable for the girl's family to inherit.

In addition, the daughter spent so much money to go to a private school to learn cooking and literacy, isn't it just to open a restaurant by herself in the future.Although it is only a small tea room now, everything is difficult at the beginning, so take your time.

So when Wen Shu told him that he wanted to open a tea house and needed his help, Wen Tai went to build a shed outside the city with his daughter without saying a word.

After half a month of hard work by the father and daughter, the tea shed has basically been built, and now there are only some tables, chairs and counters left.Wen Shu handed over all these matters to her father Wen Tai, anyway, there is not much business in the shop right now.

Mrs. Zhao, who lives in Qiantou village, happened to pass by with Goudan. Seeing that their father and daughter were busy, she wanted to help. Some cakes and some water were sent to the father and daughter.

Feeling her love, Wen Shu gave her the thatched roof that was needed for the roof of the tea shed, and paid her two hundred cash.

Mrs. Zhao didn't expect that there was such an unexpected intention, and when she was happy, she hurriedly agreed. When she returned to the village, she bought dozens of bundles of straw from the villagers for [-] Wen, and then started to tie the straw.

On March [-]th, in the morning, Wen Shu still brought two kinds of food to sell in Qionglin Garden, but she secretly waited for one thing in her heart.

Seeing that today is January, the system should be unlocked, right?
It's been a long time since I went to the iron box, and I really miss it.

Because she had to come to Qionglin Garden every day for half a month, and she put up a cover for herself on the second day, and wrote "Wenji Snacks" as a signboard.Now Wen Shu is considered familiar in the eyes of many young ladies who are playing.

Many young ladies who have visited Qionglin Garden will tell their relatives and friends when they go back. If they go to Qionglin Garden and are hungry, they can buy food from Miss Wen from "Wenji Snacks".

Although the food she sells is not cheaper than other stores, it tastes good and uses enough ingredients, which is rare and caring.

Therefore, Wen Shu now only needs to yell "Wen Ji Snacks" from a distance, and many acquaintances or strangers will come forward and ask, what is it selling, is it delicious?

Everyone asks this question purely because the food that Wen Shu brings is different every day.

From the first Hibiscus Cake, Smile Cake, Shepherd’s Purse Cake with Zao’er Paste, Fried Melon, to the recent Crispy Abalone, Wrapped in Honey Silk Thread, Zezhou Chowder, Honey Hemp Crisp, and Manna Cake, all of them are delicious in color and fragrance. The ingredients are sufficient, so her food is always the fastest-selling among the basket vendors.

It's just that it caused a lot of resentment. A few local snakes who came here to sell food every year once stopped her and threatened her not to come here to sell food again.

But Wen Shuyan was afraid of them, and would still go her own way. Seeing that Wen Shu was disobedient, those people followed her secretly, thinking that no one would give her a blow.

Unexpectedly, the delicate and weak little lady is actually a strong monster, and she also knows how to punch and kick. Several peddlers who wanted to teach her a lesson were beat up by her instead.

Those peddlers were not powerful people at all, they just formed an alliance for a short time to resist those "conscientious peddlers" and make quick money. Wen Shu is in trouble.

"Hey, what does it smell like? It smells so good?" Wen Shu, who had sold half of her food after shopping for a while, asked Wang Ling next to her, sniffing the smell of meat in the wind.

"Someone should be roasting the meat."

"Is this scent strange?" Wen Shu sniffed it, then looked around.

But seeing a corner of the pavilion occasionally exposed among the shadows of trees on the right front, the fragrance should come from there, and immediately pulled Wang Ling over with great interest and said: "Go, go and have a look."

"Ah."

The two of them bypassed the shadows of the trees, and when they walked closer, they realized that the people who were roasting meat in the pavilion were actually several men, and one of them was sitting facing this side, whom Wen Shu still knew.

It's just that it wasn't a good fate, so she pulled Wang Ling and turned around and left.

Helplessly, the people in the pavilion had already seen them, hurriedly threw away the meat skewers they were grilling, ran over a few steps, and said with a smile: "Hey, isn't this Miss Wen? Why did I meet you here by such a coincidence? Could it be that I roasted you?" The smell of meat attracts you."

The person who spoke was handsome and tall, but maybe it was because of drinking, his face was slightly blush.

Seeing this, Wang Ling immediately blushed and lowered her head.

Wen Shu smiled awkwardly, Fushen said: "Unfortunately, I passed by and disturbed a few Yaxing, so I will leave."

"Hey, since it's here, why don't you sit down and use some together. I recently got a new condiment for roasting meat. It's the most delicious. Let the two ladies try it together."

Having said that, his eyes lingered on Wen Shu alone.

"No, I've been very angry recently, and I can't eat smoked food. Wu Erlang can use it himself." Wen Shu refused.

Although she really wanted to know what the strange spice he was talking about, but in this case, she had to refuse.

Not only because he is a man, but also because all the people sitting in the pavilion are men, but because she has an embarrassing past with this Wu Erlang.

The Wu Erlang in front of him is Wu Liang, the second son of the Wu family at the end of Xizi Street, and his family runs two tofu shops.

As for why she recognized this man, it was because he was notoriously picky when looking for a wife, not picky about talent and learning, nor picky about dowry, but picky about appearance.I don't care about other characters, talents, skills, dowry, etc., which is undoubtedly a bit superfluous in the eyes of the elders.

Father Wen used him as an example to warn Wen Shu, saying that this person cannot be married.

Biansheng Wenshu's appearance is also well-known in the nearby three streets and seven alleys, so Wu Erlang inevitably took a fancy to him and sent a matchmaker to make a match.

It's just that old man Wen has always had a bad impression of him, thinking that he is a floating person, and he might not be the one to set up a family to live a peaceful life in the future, so he declined.

After Wu Erlang heard this, he didn't give up immediately. Instead, he ran to the Wen's shop and told Father Wen that as long as he could marry Wen Shu to him, he would be fine.

But Father Wen never thought of recruiting Wen Shu's wife, even if he wanted to, he had to find someone who was reliable and dedicated to living.

And Wu Erlang, although he was born with a good appearance and a wealthy family, but in terms of his usual behavior, it was a bit absurd, so he refused again.

So it was a little embarrassing to meet at this time.

　Sorry, I was busy a few days ago and delayed the update. I will post two updates today. Hope you all have a good time watching it.
