Husband, Have Dinner

Chapter 90: Rice dumplings

The arrows were like shooting stars, and they plunged into the target one after another. One arrow hit the red heart.

Pei Xingzhi squinted his eyes with thunderous applause, and the people around him cheered without hesitation. They witnessed a wonderful and exciting archery competition.

It’s a shame to deviate from the red heart fifty steps away, but it is the result of a ten-year-old and nearly eleven-year-old boy. This is not easy. Whether it is strength or accuracy, people are sighed by blue, but Pei Shuo’s results are even more impressive. Eye-catching, even hit the heart steadily, the young man is not as weak as the crown, he can be called a sharpshooter!

"You deserve to be the eldest son of the founding Hou, and his son, his father, can become a great talent in the future!" The teacher admired him, and in a blink of an eye he affirmed Pei Xingzhi's achievements, and Pei Shuo and Pei Xingzhi were taught humbly.

The Ying Niang under the tree stomped her feet, annoyed, "Oh, what a pity, it's almost!"

Ayao jumped for joy, but due to Yingniang's presence, she was also a fan of Pei Xingzhi. She didn't have much affection for Pei Shuo and didn't dare to jump up, but the smile on her face couldn't be suppressed anyway.

Yingniang glanced at her, and touched A Yao's shoulder with her shoulder. "Go ahead, look at you, and see his eyes are sticky and can't move away."

"Are you not angry?" A Yao was surprised, "If you are angry, I won't go there, and calm down with you."

"What nonsense, what is so sad for me." Yingniang scolded with a smile, touched A Yao's shoulder, and pointed to the archery range. "Look at your Pei Lang and see you."

Looking along her green fingers, the eyes of Pei Shuo met in mid-air. The young man was very energetic, raised his bow at her, smiled and curled his eyebrows, and shouted, "Ayao, how did I behave just now?"

"Great!" A Yao also shouted, revealing a small dimple on one side, and waved to Pei Shuo.

"Eh-" Yingniang shook off her chicken skin, covering her eyes. "Hurry over. I seem to be blind in both eyes. Pay attention to the influence. What do those students want to say?"

Ayao opened her mouth and couldn't say anything. The moment Yingniang mentioned an outsider, she panicked and swept towards the students next to Pei Shuo. They all surrounded Pei Shuo and Pei Xingzhi, noisy, and didn't notice her. A Yao akimbo "Okay, tease me, see if I won't tick you."

Yingniang lifted her skirt and hid behind the tree.

Pei Xingzhi invited Pei Shuo, "Brother, there is a new shop selling fermented rice in Lu'an Lane, and the taste is not bad. If you want to try it, it can be regarded as a celebration for you."

"How can you call me something good!"

"that is."

The students next to each other didn't agree, they all yelled, and they had to let the two Pei brothers who were in the limelight today entertain. In the cold spring, eating a bowl of fermented wine will warm the body. Moreover, at their age, they are not allowed to touch the strong wine at home. They have smelled it but few are really allowed to drink. The fermented rice is a compromise, which just satisfies their desire to taste the freshness. Wish.

"Brother, let's go to eat together, or do you think who will make it for you?" Pei Xingzhi urged.

Pei Shuo turned his head, his eyes flickered, and lazily agreed, "Sure, anyway, class is over now, let's just go over now."

Pei Xingzhi called friends and friends, and a group of students left the school field mightily.

Before Pei Shuo left, he looked back at A Yao, they were playing around under the tree, and then they left with a smile.

Suddenly the air was quiet. A Yao and Ying Niang on the side of the hillside were panting, only to realize that the water was still flying on the archery side, and the grass under the railing nodded in the wind.

"Where are they all going?" Yingniang took a few steps forward, looking around.

"I just heard them say where they are going to play, but I didn't pay attention." A Yao calmed his breath. "Then let's go back. Class ends early today. What are you going to do later?"

Yingniang thought for a while and said, "That's right, let's go to see the makeup powder? After winter, the hosta flower loses its fragrance, and the hosta powder can't be used anymore. I heard that Huajianzhai made a batch of pearl powder, which is a cooked goose. The cream is mixed with sesame oil to make a powder and put it on the face to be moisturized. I plan to buy a box for A-niang. Good Ayao, will you accompany me to see it?"

...

In Lu'an Lane, Pei Shuo looked around with his back hand.

Speaking of Lu’an Alley, it’s not far from Nanxun Thatched Cottage, passing through the three main streets, copying the path behind the banyan tree, and walking a short distance. You can smell the fragrance of wine from a distance, and you can see a big umbrella at the entrance of the alley when you get closer. Under the umbrella is a small cart stall, and the fragrance is emitted from one of the pots.

Walking along Lu'an Alley to the end, going out is the street leading to the West Market. There are a dazzling array of rouge gouache, golden silver hairpins, silk brocades, and several well-known old brands.

The lanes of Lu’an Lane are quiet, and a courtyard with pink walls and blue tiles floats with low eyebrows and gentle singing, a branch of peach blossoms over the wall, the branches are heavy with petals, and the wind blows. Lip powder fragrant.

Pei Xingzhi seemed to be the leader of this trip. He arranged the seats for the classmates, said to the boss who was cooking round a bowl for each person, and greeted Pei Shuo in the depths of Lu'an Lane, "Brother, come and sit, you are watching what?"

"Nothing." When Pei Shuo spoke, his eyes fell on the boss's pot.

"Could it be...Big Brother, you are looking at Feiyan's house?" Pei Xingzhi pretended to be a guess. The person at his table was curious and asked who Feiyan was.

He enjoyed the attention of the crowd, and then said, "Fei Yan lives in the house with red lanterns. She is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and it’s not a problem to recite poems and make fus. Her younger sister Feixia is about the same age as ours. Also read the four books well."

"Then Feixia can chant poems and make poems right?" But some people disagree.

Pei Xingzhi "Their family admires talented people very much. From time to time they will hold poetry parties or tea banquets, and invite them to chant poems together. Maybe they can get into Feiyan’s eyes and talk to her Bingzhuye. I thought Brother wants to visit Feiyan's house."

"If you don't tell me, I really don't know Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon here. My second brother knows all about the talents of his daughter's family. It seems that he usually visits the house." Pei Shuo sneered, knowing it from the bottom of his heart. They are all places where famous prostitutes live.

But don't let A Yao know, otherwise she will make trouble out of ten, um, can't ask for trouble.

"A sneeze!" A Yao sneezed halfway, who was muttering to me, she rubbed her nose, and the strong powdery scent of choking nose poured in, and her nose was itchy and another sneeze.

Yingniang is concerned, "Is the pollen here too fragrant? It's fine after this period, and Huajianzhai is right in front."

"Perhaps it is."

The proprietress steamed the glutinous rice in advance and mixed it into the distiller's yeast to make fermented rice. The sugar and fermented rice were cooked at the same time. The air was sour and sweet, as well as the smell of rice wine. This is what they smelled when they first came. One by one, the little rounds floated on the surface of the water, white as jade, more like little snowballs pinched in winter.

The glutinous rice dumplings can be scooped up into a bowl when they float up. Finally, the proprietress will add a small spoonful of sweet-scented osmanthus made last fall. The golden osmanthus is like ginkgo falling in autumn, floating on the surface of the glutinous rice dumplings, giving this bowl of homemade desserts all her life. Add a bit of extravagance.

Yuanzi has no fillings, is small in size, soft and glutinous, it doesn't have much flavor. It is all flavored with sweet-sweet rice noodles and sweet-scented osmanthus, but it is not simply sweet and greasy, but has a bit of sour and wine flavor.

"The taste is not bad, Xingzhi, you have picked a good place." Others feel good after eating it, so there is no need to persuade others to ask the lady boss to serve another bowl.

Pei Xingzhi squinted his eyes, like a fox, and asked, "Big brother, do you like to eat fermented rice?"

"Boss, let's have another bowl." Pei Shuo's voice responded to him. To be continued. Please browse for a better reading experience.
