Yijia Yishi

Chapter 238 Roast Meat
Lu Shuyi rolled her eyes at him again.

Huo Tianyou smiled triumphantly and went.

Mo Ju and Dongqing stayed with her, and the rest followed Master Jiu to kill sheep.

As soon as the person left, Mo Ju leaned over and whispered cautiously: "Miss San, the gift Jiuye gave you is too expensive, let's accept it, but in my heart... I always feel uneasy in my heart."

After all, it was only the first time we met, and this Jiu Ye was too generous.

"Yeah, my servant also feels her heart tremble." Dongqing rubbed her chest and said nervously: "This is the first time I have seen such a gemstone bracelet. In our Lu family, this servant has never seen anyone wearing such a precious bracelet." , even the old lady has never been so extravagant."

Lu Shuyi stroked the bracelet in her hand, frowning and thinking.

It wasn't because the bracelet was too expensive that she couldn't take it well, but because she had doubts about the identity of the owner of the bracelet, Lord Jiu.

Nine is the common surname of the Uighur people, and it is also the surname of the Uyghur Khan. No matter what happens, the Jiu Ye must have some relatives and stories with the Khan.

The most important thing is that this Jiu Ye once grilled meat for the current Holy Majesty, which is a bit difficult to figure out.

Judging by his appearance and temperament, this Ninth Master is clearly not a cook, but he went to the palace to cook meat for the emperor...

Lu Shuyi's mind was a little confused, and she couldn't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time.

Mo Ju only thought that she was embarrassing the bracelet, so she untied it for a while and said, "If it's really not good to return it to Master Jiu, then... then let's keep it for now. When there is a chance in the future, let's give it something more expensive For Master Jiu, if this is the case, it will be evened out."

Lu Shuyi nodded absently.

At this moment, a few long-haired puppies suddenly ran into the room. In the blink of an eye, those puppies wagged their tails and surrounded Lu Shuyi's feet, circling back and forth.

"Ah, whose dog is this..." Dongqing looked at the puppies, and quickly squatted down to pick up one of them, and said happily: "This puppy is really cute, just look at it." , this hair is long and snow white, it looks better than our wife's snowballs."

The puppy also seemed to understand that Holly was praising it, so he stuck out his tongue and licked the back of Holly's hand twice, and barked twice with his eyes wide open, as if trying to please Holly.

Dongqing liked it more and more, she couldn't see her teeth with a smile: "This little thing is quite cute..."

There are two puppies of the same size and the same coat color walking around on the ground.

Mo Ju also smiled and squatted down to pick up one, stretched out his hand to stroke its long hair and said, "It's so pitiful, I don't know whose dog it is, it must have been frozen to come in."

Lu Shuyi didn't make a sound, and was about to squat down to hug the last one on the ground, but a small head suddenly popped out from the door.

It was the face of a five or six-year-old girl.

The little girl's eyes are watery and black, like washed agate, her skin is not very white, but she looks very healthy, her small mouth is exactly the size of a cherry, and she said timidly as soon as she opened her mouth: "This dog... ...the dog is mine..."

The little girl didn't dare to come in, she just blinked her eyes and said something.

"It's your dog?" Lu Shuyi smiled and picked up the one on the ground, beckoning to her, "Come on, it's cold outside, come in quickly."

The little girl hesitated to come in, blinked her eyes at Lu Shuyi for a while, and then took a small step boldly, her two calves were just on the threshold.

Holding the door curtain with both hands, she blinked again and said, "You...are you sister Lu?"

Sister Lu?
Lu Shuyi smiled slightly, isn't Sister Lu the same as her?Here she is the only one whose surname is Lu.

She smiled and nodded: "Yes." Then she asked in surprise: "How do you know my surname is Lu?"

The little girl pursed her lips, turned her head to look outside, then turned around and said with a smile: "Second Master told me that there is a very beautiful sister in the room, and he asked me to come and see."

The second master she was talking about must be Huo Tianyou.

Lu Shuyi blushed instantly.

Dongqing pursed her lips and teased the little girl with a smile: "Then tell me, is this sister pretty?"

The little girl looked at Lu Shuyi seriously from top to bottom. After three or four times, she nodded vigorously and said firmly, "Well, this sister is really beautiful, even more beautiful than Sister Lianhua in our village. ..."

Mo Ju also became interested, and asked with a smile: "Who is Sister Lianhua?"

"Eh... Sister Lianhua is Sister Lianhua." The little girl pouted, looking uncomfortable to answer.

But she did come in.

The little girl was wearing a brand new embroidered cotton jacket and black cotton trousers on her lower body. She looked round and bulky, but she was cute and smart.

As soon as she came in, the three puppies kept barking, as if they wanted to go down to the ground to find their master.

The little girl yelled at the puppy in Lu Shuyi's arms: "Second girl, don't bark anymore, this sister is so beautiful, let her hug her."

Lu Shuyi couldn't help laughing at the little girl's words.

Mo Ju and Dongmei couldn't help laughing either.

Lu Shuyi beckoned her to come and sit down, and asked Dongmei to grab a handful of dates from a food box on the side and handed it to the little girl. She smiled and talked to the little girl, "This puppy is called Second Miss?"

The little girl nodded, ate half a jujube, pointed to the puppy in Moju's arms and said, "That's the eldest girl, the eldest sister of the second girl." Then she pointed to the puppy in Dongqing's arms: "Then It's the third girl, the youngest one, but also the most naughty one, always running out to play."

"Really?" Lu Shuyi smiled, opened her eyebrows, raised her hand to gently stroke the hair on the second girl's back, and asked, "Then what's your name? How old are you?"

The little girl spat out the date stones, and replied very obediently: "My name is Zhou Zhoumei, I am just six years old this year, but the second master changed my name for me, and now I am called Zhou Nianniang." She blinked her eyes innocently : "Sister, doesn't the name Nian Niang sound nice? I really like it..."

As she spoke, she stuffed half a jujube into her small mouth.

Lu Shuyi's heart twitched, Nianniang?

It should be to make her miss someone, maybe her parents, maybe her siblings...

She didn't dare to ask anything else, but she nodded with a smile while holding back her sadness: "It sounds good, it sounds good."

Nian Niang swayed back and forth with her calf up and down twice, her eyebrows and eyes curved with a smile: "The sheep that were killed outside were raised by me and grandma. The second master sent someone to give us ten sheep last year, and they were born in the spring of this year. Four little lambs, now there are fourteen."

"You...you know how to herd sheep?" Lu Shuyi was surprised.

This child is only six years old this year.

Her heart was sore again, she freed a hand to gently stroke Nian Niang's hair.

Nianniang still smiled happily, blinking her eyes and said: "Of course I can herd sheep. Besides herding sheep, I can also cook..." She glanced at Lu Shuyi shyly, lowered her eyes slightly and said: "But I am too I'm young, I can only cook porridge, I can't do anything else..."

"You cook porridge at such a young age?" Mo Ju also reached out and touched Nian Niang's cheek, feeling very distressed.

Dongqing said with a sad face: "The children of the poor have long been in charge of the family, and I could cook porridge when I was six years old. Only starved to death..."

As soon as Dongqing finished speaking, Nianniang's eyes dimmed. The little girl was happily eating jujubes, but now she stopped eating them, and said sadly: "Grandma is not in good health, I don't want to see her suffer, so I learned how to cook porridge and help grandma more."

With red eyes, Lu Shuyi handed the second girl in her hand to Mo Ju to hold her, and she hugged Nian Niang herself, let Nian Niang sit on her lap, and said softly: "What a good boy, your grandma has you, She must be very happy."

After hearing this, Nianniang's eyes sparkled immediately, she looked up at Lu Shuyi again, blinked and smiled in Lu Shuyi's ear, "Grandma Liu said, you are the daughter-in-law after Second Master..."

Lu Shuyi blushed immediately.

"Don't talk nonsense, nothing." She hastily denied it.

This grandma Liu, why is she talking nonsense?
No wonder her eyes were wrong at that time.

Lu Shuyi cursed.

But Nian Niang smiled and whispered in her ear again: "Sister, Second Master is really very good, people here like him very much. Let me tell you a little secret, Sister He Hua likes Second Master very much, People in our village say that Sister He Hua wants to be the second master's wife, but I think you are prettier than Sister He Hua, so you should be the second master's new wife."

What kind of logic is this?
Lu Shuyi blushed into a big persimmon, gently pinched Nian Niang's little cheek and said, "You little one, you really can't talk nonsense, do you understand?" After thinking about it, she took a purse from her body, He took out a few small golden beans and handed them to Nian Niang: "Take this and play with it, but don't lose it, I'll keep it for your grandma when you get home." She said seriously: "These golden beans are solid. You can exchange some money, so don’t lose it.”

It was given to her by her grandmother at the end of the year. At that time, she just thought it was fun and thought it was useless, but she didn't expect it to come in handy now.

Nian Niang took the seven or eight golden beans, stared round in surprise and said, "Wow, it's so pretty, sister, are they really golden?"

Mo Ju laughed: "Don't you know if you bite it?"

Nian Niang laughed and played with the golden beans back and forth: "If my sister says it's true, it must be true."

"The mouth is quite sweet." Dongqing couldn't help pinching Nian Niang's face, and asked her, "Your family's sheep were eaten by us, so don't you feel bad?"

Nian Niang immediately shook her head: "I don't feel bad, as long as the second master eats it, let alone one, even if we give it all, I don't feel bad."

In this village, the second master is like a god.

If it wasn't for him, a child like Nian Niang might have died long ago...

"Second Master is a good man. If he eats my sheep, he will give my grandma a lot of silver. My grandma refuses to take it, so he leaves it behind..." Nian Niang raised her small face and said with admiration: " My grandma said that when Zhang grows up, she wants me to be a good person like the second master..."

"You're so good." Lu Shuyi gently groped Nianniang's hair, unable to calm down for a long time.

With Nian Niang's company, time passed quickly.

After Jiu Ye killed the sheep, he got the mutton and roasted it.

Lu Shuyi specially kept Nian Niang and her three puppies to eat barbecue together.

Nian Niang didn't refuse, but she was very clingy, sitting on her lap and refusing to get off, and kept asking her to tell about interesting things in the town.

Huo Tianyou teased Nian Niang: "Why are you acting like a follower..."

"Because my sister is beautiful." Nian Niang raised her small chin, with an expression of dissatisfaction and hitting me.

Huo Tianyou: "..."

Everyone couldn't help laughing.

Master Jiu said while roasting: "It seems that there is still an advantage in being good-looking, even a brat can pick someone."

Lu Shuyi's face was blushing.

Because of Nian Niang's presence, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became active, and everyone had smiles on their faces.

The mutton on the charcoal fire is sizzling, and the aroma is so enticing.

I have to say that Jiuye's barbecue skills are really good. After passing through his hands, the mutton becomes shiny and shiny. The cumin on it is bright green and fragrant, which whets the appetite.

"Try it, this food should be eaten while it's hot, it won't taste good when it's cold." Master Jiu made a gesture of invitation.

Huo Tianyou took one and handed it to Nian Niang, and then to Lu Shuyi, Lu Shuyi took it generously, thanked her before starting to taste it.

The roasted mutton is very delicious, with the taste of cumin, it just makes people want to eat another bite after one bite.

Lu Shuyi has never eaten such delicious mutton.

She smiled at Master Jiu and said, "Master Jiu's craftsmanship is amazing. I have never eaten such delicious barbecue. Thank you very much."

Mo Ju and the others followed suit, "Thank you."

Master Jiu sat by the fire, shook his head with a smile, and said, "Actually, this is not the most delicious barbecue. If you go to Uighur, the mutton there is really delicious."

Huo Tianyou agreed: "It will be better with kumiss."

Master Jiu laughed: "Yes, yes, yes, the kumiss is missing, and the pancakes are missing."

Kumiss and Nangbingzi are the favorites of the Uighurs.

In her previous life, Lu Shuyi once ate nang panzi when she was in Kyoto, but she was not used to it, and felt that it was too dry.

I enjoyed this meal very much.

Mo Ju and the others have gained some knowledge, and it was the first time they ate such delicious meat.

After eating the meat, Huo Tianyou ordered Shuangrui and Shuangxi to bring fruit wine.

The fruit wine was made by the women in the village by themselves. Hearing that Huo Tianyou was going to spend the first day of the new year here, they sent it over early in the morning.

This meal can be described as a hundred meals.

Lu Shuyi had never eaten such a meaningful meal, she kept smiling with her arms around Nian Niang.

Seeing that she was happy, Huo Tianyou said to Nian Niang: "My sister will be going back soon, why don't you give your 'girl' to my sister."

When Nian Niang heard that Lu Shuyi was leaving, she put her arms around Lu Shuyi's neck and refused to let her go. After Lu Shuyi coaxed her for a long time, she reluctantly said: "Then I will give you the second girl. If my sister misses me when she goes back , just look at the second girl."

The second girl barked a few times.

Lu Shuyi nodded, touched Nian Niang's head and comforted her, "Don't worry, my sister will come to see you when she is free, and the second girl and sister will take good care of her. When you see her again, she will be fat and fat." .”

Nian Niang just smiled, revealing a row of nice little teeth.
