Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 152
After making up his mind, Wen Shu went into the kitchen to find the stone scoop for grinding the juice, washed Zhu Yucao, put it in it and smashed it violently.After Zhu Yucao is ground to a muddy state, two scoops of noodles are taken from the noodle tank, mixed with Zhuyu Cao juice and kneaded into a ball.

It would take a while to wake up, so taking advantage of this spare time, she simply went back to her room to get the skin of Meng Huai, wrapped it in furoshiki, and carried it out of the house.

After turning onto Xizi Street, she waved her hand to a mule cart passing by, and asked the driver to take her to the cobbler's shop in the west of the city for five dollars.

There is also a cobbler's shop in the north of the city, and there are as many as four or five, and the nearest one is even in the alley next door, but Wen Shu dare not go lightly, for fear that people will see it and cause trouble.

Although it is possible to meet acquaintances in the west of the city, the probability is much lower.

When she arrived in the west of the city, she didn't ask which shop was the most prosperous, but which shop was the most remote. After a quarter of an hour, following the direction given by passers-by, she walked into a remote alley.

There are not many residents in the alley, there are only seven or eight households in total, and the houses are also low. Wen Shu followed the cover of the outside and found the small shop that only two people passed by.

Sitting on a low stool by the door was an old man who was over sixty years old. His temples were stained with frost and his beard was also gray.

Hearing the movement, the old man looked up and saw a beautiful young lady with a bundle on her back, he hurriedly got up and said, "Young lady, do you want to be familiar?"

Wen Shu nodded, stepped forward with a smile and asked, "Is Weng Weng familiar with big skin?"

She glanced at the wooden basin where the old man soaked rabbit skins on the ground, and was a little worried that this shop only cooked small skins.

"Big leather? How big is it?" The old man froze for a moment, then rubbed his hands and asked.

Wen Shu didn't say much, and directly unloaded the burden on his back and put it on the ground, and squatted down to open the burden for the old man to see.

"Ah, what kind of animal's fur is this? Why is it so big?" The old man was slightly surprised.

In his impression, except for the big worm, most animals rarely have such a large fur, but the fur in front of him is clearly not a big worm.

"This is what my father and brothers hunted on the mountain. It's a pig-like beast. It's scary. I don't know its name. Can Weng Weng know it well?"

The old man nodded hesitantly, "I'm familiar with it, but I'm old and my hands and feet are slow. With such a big piece of skin, it won't take half a month for me to be familiar with it?"

Half a month?so long?Wen Shu hesitated.

In her opinion, the sooner the better, so that she can put it on as soon as possible, and she will be more secure in the iron box.

Forget it, let's not find one.

She smiled and was about to wrap up a new bundle when an old woman's voice came from inside the room, "Old man, who are you talking to? .”

"Hey, here we come. There's a little lady who wants cooked leather, and I'm talking to her." The old man responded, and hurriedly turned his head and entered the shop.

Wen Shu shook his head, and refolded the unrolled Menghuai skin to wrap it up. Just as he was about to get up, he saw a mother-in-law in a brown coat coming out from behind the house, holding a bowl with a chipped hole in her hand. .

Judging from the way she stretched out her hands before walking, it is estimated that she still has eye problems.

"Oh, why did you come to the front, be careful not to fall." The old man over there rushed over and took the bowl in her hand.

The old lady smiled and said: "It's nothing, it's nothing, there's business coming, you should hurry up and say hello."

"Sit down first." The old man helped his mother-in-law to a chair in the main room and sat down. Then he turned to Wen Shu and said, "I'm neglecting you." After that, he picked up the bowl and drank.

Presumably because he was in a hurry to greet Wen Shu, the old man drank the porridge a little too quickly. In this rush, it was inevitable that some of the porridge would overflow, and a few yellowish grains fell from the edge of the bowl.

Wen Shu frowned when she saw it. This is not porridge, it is clearly chaff.

Seeing this, the words that were originally ready to say goodbye suddenly turned into inquiries at this moment, "Why did Weng Weng eat chaff? Where is your son-in-law?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, the expressions of the old couple in the hall changed.

The original smile on the old woman's face faded away, and changed into a somewhat mournful expression, and the old man's expression was even more sad.

After a while, he waved his hands and sighed, "It's gone, they all left us." There was a tremor in the old voice.

Wen Shu was stunned, never thought that this was the reason, seeing that the old man was eating chaff, he wondered if his children and grandchildren were not filial, who would have expected that the white-haired man would give the black-haired man.

But if you are lonely and helpless, you can go to Futianyuan to get rice grains. It is said that each person has a liter of rice a day (about one and a half catties), so how can they be so destitute that they drink the chaff that makes their throats sore.

She was puzzled in her heart, but she didn't dare to ask any more questions on her face, and quickly apologized: "This slave is talking too much, and the old man is tired and sad. I will apologize to the two of you here."

"It's nothing, it's all over and the days have to be taken care of." The old man waved his hands sadly, and then looked at Wen Shuti's burden hand, as if he understood something: "This skin"

"Oh." Wen Shu came back to his senses, and stretched out the bag in his hand, "I cooked it for Weng Weng, how much will it cost?"

I thought the little lady was carrying the burden to leave, but it turned out not to be, the old man was a little overjoyed, it had been a long time since he took over the big leather bag, and he rubbed his hands excitedly.

"Young lady, just give me three hundred Wen, but I'm getting older, and the time may be later, and my little lady may take care of it?"

Wen Shu smiled, "It's okay, I don't need it urgently, Weng Weng will come later." After finishing speaking, he quickly took out three strings of copper coins from the chain on his shoulders, which were exactly three hundred Wen.

"Hey, the leather is not ready yet, the young lady will just give you a fixed amount." The old man declined.

"I trust Weng Weng, take the money and buy some rice, don't eat this anymore."

The old man froze for a moment, he didn't expect this little lady to be so kind, and while being moved, he couldn't help thinking of the three sons who died young, and his heart was filled with sourness.

However, the money was really urgent for him, so he didn't refuse immediately, took it and thanked him: "Then thank you little lady, Pi Zi will come and get it at the beginning of next month."

Wen Shu nodded, and made an appointment with the old man to pick up the goods, then turned around and walked out of the alley, heading home quickly.

After returning home, an hour had passed. The dough in the kitchen had woken up just right. She cleaned her hands by the well, and then went into the kitchen to take out the dough, knead it evenly, cut it into small doses, and then put it in the steamer. Steam in a pan.

A quarter of an hour later, white gas began to rise above the steamer, and at the same time, a scent of food wafted out along with the sweet air.

Wen Shu sniffed fiercely, tried his best to resist the idea of ​​grabbing one out to taste, and turned off the stove.

During dinner, Father Wen came from the shop and saw that there was only a bowl of Sanxian noodles on the table. He was surprised and said, "Why is there only one bowl of noodles? Don't you want to eat it?"

"I'm not hungry yet. I feel a little hungry in the afternoon. I ate a lot of cakes that were left over from the morning. My stomach is still full. Let's eat, Dad."

"What's the use of the two pastries that you eat in the afternoon? Hurry up and get a bowl, and I'll share some for you. Don't be so hungry that you can't sleep in the middle of the night."

"No, dad. No need. I'm so full now that I can't take a bite. As for the second half of the night, don't worry. I steamed some steamed buns by the way when I was cooking the noodles. I can eat two before I go to sleep." , eat quickly, if you don’t eat noodles, you’ll be lumpy.”

"You really don't want to eat?" Wen Tai looked at her.

"Really, eat quickly."

Seeing her father moving his chopsticks, Wen Shu hurriedly found an excuse and slipped back to the room. She was afraid that her father would hear the gurgling sound coming from her stomach after a while.

God knows how many times she swallowed at that bowl of fresh noodles just now.

I'm hungry!
