No Worries about Food and Medicine

On the 9th of August, Bai Lu should marry.

Early in the morning, Yu Jinnian was awakened by a string of firecrackers on the street. After waking up for a while, he got up and wanted to go out to see. As soon as he pushed the door, a coolness rushed in, so cold that he shook his shoulders. There are two pots of flowers and plants that the second lady has been growing in the corner, and now the dew is also condensing. He moved the two pots of flowers to the place where they can be basked in the sun, and looked up at the sky again. The clouds are thin.

After washing in the rough grass and warming the water in the kitchen, he ran to the front to see the excitement. There are already a lot of people on the street. Ask carefully, knowing that the owner of a pharmacy on Yeer Street in the east of the city is marrying her daughter. I heard that the bride is a talented woman and the groom official is Qin Xiucai in the west of the city. The person looks like Lang Cai female, Miao Ou Tiancheng.

Because there were more people on the street watching, there were more people who were tired and came in to eat the noodles. Yu Jinnian had to wait for the groom's officer to ride out on his high-headed horse.

This busy, unconsciously busy for more than two hours, he was finally able to take a breath soon, but then there was no excitement to watch, he was lazy in the morning, and watched the excitement, no There was no time to do fresh food. At this time, I was sleepy again. I didn't want to move, so I sat alone in the store, playing with some chopsticks.

He narrowed his eyes, and a short boy with short feet slipped in, sitting in the seat opposite Yu Jinnian, "Ah, alas," he sighed like a little adult. He recognized this kid and lived in Yanzi Alley, which was two streets away. The father was a tooth man, specializing in the introduction of buying and selling and brokering goods. The mother was a spicy temper and often chased this kid to hit three streets.

Yu Jinnian saw him sighing and felt funny, so he asked, "Why do you worry?"

Zheng Yu sighed again: "What can I worry about, my mother is sick again!"

Yu Jinnian: "You make your mother angry again?"

"What made me angry with her!" Zheng Yu said, "I don't know what happened to these two days, and I don't sleep at night. Good morning this morning, I said a few words to Linger at the door. Then, she did n’t say anything about carrying a broom and hitting someone!

Yu Jinnian said: "Who is Linger?"

Zheng Yu was immediately led away: "On the little granddaughter of Liu Laohan's family, the one with big eyes, she pierced a new head today."

"Oh?" Yu Jinnian blinked. "At such a young age, you will play with other girls. No wonder your mother wants to hit you!"

Zheng Yu said anxiously: "I didn't! I didn't tease her ..." He said his voice weakened back, but his tone was still hurried, "What is it called flirting, don't talk nonsense, or Linger will ignore it tomorrow I am. "

Yu Jinnian did not continue to play tricks on children, and stood up smilingly and asked him: "Would you like to eat noodles?"

"I want it." Zheng Yu said busy, "My mother is in a hurry, saying that regardless of the lunch between me and my father, tell me to come here to eat noodles. The last time my father came to you, I pressed more money. You just take it from there. "

"Okay, get it."

After eating the noodles, Yu Jinnian saw that he was still frowning, and his face was bitter like a bitter gourd, so he grabbed the candied fruit from behind the counter and ate the counter carefully.

After being bored with candied fruit, Zheng Yu hesitated and said: "Hey, if you want to do something else, my mother will not eat for a whole day every time she gets angry, so she will drink cold water. Sure? She is tired of noodles. You can make something more. Anything is fine. Others say that you make delicious food. Money ... You can deduct it from the inside, will it work? "

It turns out that children are caring for their mothers.

"What's wrong with this?" Yu Jinnian smiled, left and right he had nothing to do, there were few people in the store, he opened his mouth, and asked Zheng Yu to go home and wait, coaxing his mother, this When the side dishes were ready, he would take the food box and send it to his home.

"Hey Xiaonian, please send me the trouble later, it's better to make an evening meal!" Zheng Yu leaned over again and shouted.

When Yu Jin's money was due, Zheng Yu returned happily. He rested until the afternoon when there were fewer guests, and he went into the kitchen to prepare.

It just happened that Aunt Li from the market yesterday delivered some fresh and neat things, but only a few cabbages squeezed under her head and rotted Ye'er. She didn't get over it, so she spared two cold melons-cold melon It is bitter gourd, the shape is slightly different from the bitter gourd he remembers, but it is essentially the same, bitter.

Nian Niang and Sui Sui don't eat cold melon, and they don't need to make sauce. He is worried about how to deal with these two good cold melons. If not, Zheng Yu will hit the door.

He had seen Zheng Yu's mother twice, and a fierce battle against the lady, just a little bit.

Today, when Zheng Yu said this, she guessed that she must have gotten mad because of a woman's affairs. Otherwise, how could the Zheng family's lady even get angry when she saw a girl of eight or nine years old. The reason for this seems to be something from Zheng Yaren of her family and the flower girl in the hook bar on Qingliu Street, about to redeem her as an outside room and so on-but it really does not complain Yu Jinnian to inquire about others His gossip is really a lot of people. He wants to hear it. The three aunts and six wives are also talking straight into his ears.

But in the end this is the family affair of others. Yu Jinnian took it away and speculated that the Zheng family's mother or the emotional anger caused by the emotional irritability, and for this reason, he also prescribed the medicine ... cough, and the food was prepared accordingly.

He used this cold melon, of course, to solve the fire of the Zheng family lady. This medical text says that the five flavors enter the stomach, which are each favored. Therefore, acid first enters the liver, bitterness first enters the heart, sweetness first enters the spleen, xin first enters the lung, salty first enters the kidney, and the gas is increased for a long time. This cold melon has a bitter cold taste, which can just relieve heart inflammation and help clear liver and trouble.

To do it easily, he first removed the washed bitter gourd from the head and tail, slowly reached in from both ends with a chopstick spoon, carefully plucked the melon flakes inside, and then boiled it in hot water again, omitting the cold melon itself Bitter taste. Here is good, he took the mushrooms, radishes and other vegetables, finely chopped, mixed with minced meat, marinated with onion ginger, cooking wine and salt to adjust the stuffing. At this time, there is a little trick, that is, knocking a fresh egg into the filling, so that the meat filling that has been steamed over time will be more tender and smooth, and it will not let the filling be too loose.

The next step is to stuff the mixed meat into the shell of cold melon. After the two ends are tightly closed, you have to put it on the fire stove to steam about one tea more time. To make up the empty space, Yu Jinnian used soy sauce again. , Sesame oil and sugar made a thin thick stick. After a while, the melon was also steamed out of the cage. He first cut a small piece and tried it. He felt very refreshing. He nodded and evenly cut the rest into inches wide, plated, thin Juice thickened, and you're done.

The well-baked melon is tender and translucent, just looking at it is very beautiful. But this dish alone was not enough. He restarted the pot and made a stir-fried lotus pond.

The stir-fried dish of lotus pond is refreshing and pleasant to listen to, and its practical ingredients are also easy. It is lightly fried with lotus root, yam, cloud ear and lily with oil and salt. No other sauces are needed at all. Most of these ingredients are heat-clearing. The spleen, Lily can calm the mind, how crisp and refreshing these four kinds of together, will be known when the diners enter.

With these two dishes, there is still a soup to soothe the stomach and warm the stomach. Yu Jinnian had counted the time too early, so he patiently brewed a celery porridge. This celery is cold, calming the liver and detoxifying, and the rice porridge is nourishing the stomach. It is very beneficial to eat with people with strong liver like the Zheng family. If you have leisure, you can squeeze juice from celery at home, it is also an excellent bowl of drink.

After finishing two dishes and one soup, Yu Jinnian felt that he could handle it. He prepared two other small dishes, and he was very satisfied to put a few dishes in the food box. After meeting with Er Niang, he walked out of the store. The door, went back to the Zheng family on Swallow Street.

He had just left the house, and Sui Sui jumped up and chased him. The little girl had short hands and short legs. She usually likes to stick to Yu Jinnian. Today, it is difficult for him to find out that the door is not to buy food. Sui Sui was wearing the embroidered little shoes that Er Niang had sewed to her. After a while, she lowered her head and watched that the new shoes were stained with dust. After a while, she had to look up again to see if Mo Yu had hit someone, and she was about to fall. Get up and be around.

There was a group of little dolls on the street surrounded by a circle of flowers, and children's songs were sung in the mouth: "Hongyan comes, the black bird returns, the white dew turns into frost and the autumn wind chills ..." Seeing Sui Sui is envious, but the little girl is inherently timid At this time, he dare not play in the past, only to watch from a distance.

The two listened and watched, but could not help but slow down and walked steadily to the front of Zheng's door.

The gate of the Zheng family was opened in Yanzi Alley. The gate was covered with Yu Lei and Shen Tu. At this time the door opened a half-leaf, a gray carriage was parked at the door, and the Zheng family was sitting on the threshold, looking bored, and when they saw them walking by one by one, they jumped up Waved hard.

Yu Jinnian glanced at the carriage and saw a small copper hook on the roof, followed by Zheng Yu into the courtyard, and saw that Zheng Yaren was arguing with a face-to-face little man under the porch. When they passed by, they also smelled A touch of sweet and greasy smoke.

When he smelled this pungent scent, Yu Jinnian suddenly realized the role of the copper hook on the carriage-it was used to hang the lily of the valley. The so-called lily lotus is a small pendant that looks like a lotus and has a hollow ring. Each shape is different. When the girls go out to serve the guests, they hang it on the car. Agreed rules.

As the saying goes, the Zheng family's lady came out after hearing the noise, her eyes were red, and I wondered whether she was angry or sad. Zheng Yu didn't know whether she should comfort her mother or persuade her father.

Seeing that there was a fire in the backyard of Zheng's family, Yu Jinnian was busy sending the rice into the house. He added two greetings and ran away with Sui Sui.

When leaving the door, the curtain in front of the carriage suddenly lifted a corner, revealing a beautiful but frowning face. She couldn't help seeing a person in front of the carriage. She froze for a moment, then nodded a little embarrassedly, and Yu Jinnian also nodded back. After a courtesy, the voice said, "Good girl," the curtain fell back in a hurry.

It is said that Hua Niang, who has a good relationship with Zheng Yaren, is a scheming scheming, and she wants to climb a branch to marry. This will not catch up with Zheng Yaren, and he will not have a face or a skin. People don't let go.

Although Yu Jinnian didn't understand the face, but the sadness on the girl's face was so real, it didn't look like that kind of vicious character. He stopped in front of the carriage, took out a few fruits from his sleeve, and put it on the carriage's mantle Between the curtains.

"It's just some fruit, but it's sweet anyway," he smiled.

Unusually, as soon as the curtain was moved, the few pieces of preserved fruit were swept in. There was a faint sound of peeling sugar paper, and after a while, there was a slight trembling sound pressed inside and I smiled back: "Well, very sweet ... Thank you brother. "

Yu Jinnian then took Sui Sui's hand and walked back.

Everyone in the world has the sufferings of the world. There are two maidens in the noodle restaurant, the maidens of the Zheng family, the flower maidens in the carriage, and Yu Jinnian himself. He looked down at the carefree Sui Sui, maybe even such a small child might have? And all he could do was quietly, just give her a candy.

When passing through a fork in Swallow Alley, there was a fragrant smell of sweet honey, which seemed to be far and near, smelling like the sweet-scented osmanthus, very attractive.

"It's so fragrant! Go and see!" Sui Sui said.

Yu Jinnian couldn't help himself to see what happened, and led Sui Sui into the back lane of the swallow: "Okay, listen to Sui Sui, go and see."

Swallow's back alley is much narrower than the front alley, and the bluestone road under his feet is not smooth. He is afraid of Sui Sui knocking, so he holds her on his shoulders. Not so far afterwards, I saw a string of heavy trees, and a splendid one came out of the wall. It was really an early-open golden laurel tree with silver in it.

"Snowflake cuts goose yellow, golden millet thousand bran grits. It looks like how big it can look, how to get a lot of fragrance?"

Sui Sui sat on his shoulder, reached for a flower, and asked innocently, "What do you mean?"

Yu Jinnian smiled gently: "That is to say, this flower is so small, how can it hold so much fragrance?"

Sui Sui played a rogue because she did not understand the poem: "Naturally it is willing to be so fragrant! Where is there any reason?"

"Sui Sui was right." Yu Jinnian nodded with a smile, and touched the little girl's head. "Let's pick some back, how about making osmanthus tea at night?"

Suicui clapped her hands and smiled: "Okay, okay, give the mother a try!"

The two took a bunch of branches down like a chicken and a dog, picked up the golden flowers and picked them up, and hid them in their sleeves.

I was happy to pick it up. Yu Jinnian turned around, and suddenly I saw a person standing not far away, which happened to be at the door of the host where the tree of osmanthus was growing, looking at them expressionlessly. " Little Thief ".

Yu Jinnian said, "Oops," Sui Sui, we were caught, what should we do. "

Frightened, Sui Sui hurriedly gathered up the sleeves of the osmanthus flower, and opened her mouth in surprise. The poor girl drank cold air, snorted, and hiccupped: "Little brother, hiccup! ... ... Will we be beaten? "

Yu Jinnian wanted to laugh when she looked at her, but it was not easy to steal the sweet-scented osmanthus in the courtyard. Straightened, he only reached the other person's shoulders and could only look up slightly.

The man is about twenty years old, wearing a jade blue wide-sleeved long dress, straight and slender figure, and light-colored clothes have reduced his already fair-faced face by a little bit of blood. He frowned as if he wanted to say something, his lips opened slightly, and then he squeezed heavily, and looked down at Yu Jinnian slightly with his eyes down. The look seemed to be a layer of light gauze, and there was a kind of rejection. The cold and sad outside is really unpredictable.

At this time the sky was slightly dark, and the fragrance of osmanthus was more and more quiet. The thin figure of the man seemed to merge with this dim sky, like a clear rhyme between the distant mountains and thin clouds.

Yu Jinnian was stunned for a moment. He had seen many men and women in his last life, many of them were good-looking, but no one could be like this person in front of him. It's not unreasonable to fly immortal immediately.

He was a little cranky, and the man's face was stretched, and he suddenly raised his hand—as if to come to beat him.

Subconsciously, Yu Jinnian took a step back, and the opponent's arm paused, and the hand that almost reached his face stopped like that, before he slowly lowered it slightly stiffly.

"Sorry Dongjia, the sweet-scented osmanthus in the yard is too fragrant to pick a few. If Dongjia is unpretentious at night, I will come to the noodle shop at the front of Xicheng Gate. I will make a meal for Dongjia ... "

The man narrowed his eyes slightly, and heard the teenager in front of him smile with a gentle smile.

I also saw the teenager raise his arms and bow his hands to make a compensatory rite of guilt.

Instantly, a sleeve of cinnamon.

In the distance, children who don't know where are singing again: "Hongyan is coming, Hongyan is coming, Bailu becomes frost osmanthus ..."
