A poor peasant girl: Farming with a baby and abusing her husband

Unconsciously, the time was approaching noon.

Liu Zhuo and Yan Shu were walking around for a while, and Liu Zhuo asked Yan Shu what she wanted to eat.

"I haven't even digested the snacks I had in the morning!"

While they were talking, the three of them had already walked to a snack stall.

Yan Shu looked at the canvas flag that said "Sad Liangfen".

"It turns out that this sad jelly appeared so early in ancient times. The last time I ate sad jelly was in Luodai Ancient Town, Sichuan. The taste is so sour."

Yan Shu muttered that she still remembered that a long time ago when she was in college, she and her roommates in the same dormitory went to visit Luodai Ancient Town.

At that time, the most famous thing in Luodai besides the Great Wall was the sad jelly noodles. There were only eight jelly noodles in a bowl, all submerged in chili sauce. She and her roommate were already suffering from vomiting and diarrhea from the spicy food before they finished eating eight jelly sticks.

The past events are vivid in my mind, who would have thought that she would travel from modern times to the ancient times where she had no friends.

"Hello, sister, sister?"

"what are you thinking about?"

Seeing that Yan Shu was stunned and unresponsive, Liu Zhuo couldn't help but pull her sleeve.

Yan Shu: "Is everything okay? Oh, why don't we try this sad jelly?"

Liu Zhuo opened a bench and asked Yan Shuyaya to sit down first.

He sat down opposite Yan Shu and shouted to his boss:

"Boss, the three of us each have a bowl of sad jelly, and each of us adds a portion of glutinous rice dumplings."

After a while, three small bowls of jelly were served to the table.

Yan Shu looked at the difference between the jelly in front of her and her impression.

When I asked, I found out that it was made from old noodles. It tasted salty and sweet, similar to eating sweet noodles.

"So this sad jelly is not spicy at all?"

Yan Shu said to herself.

Liu Zhuo: "Spicy, why is it spicy? Sad jelly has always tasted like this."

Yan Shu was a little confused and continued to ask:

"Then why is it called sad jelly? It shouldn't be so spicy that it makes you sad."

Liu Zhuo laughed.

At this time the store owner explained:

"This girl may be eating sad jelly for the first time. You don't know the allusion yet!"

"The origin of this sad jelly is that more than a hundred years ago, a poor family and a young couple ran a jelly shop.

The man studies hard and prepares to gain fame. In order to support her husband's studies, the wife took on the responsibility of raising the family by herself. She sells jelly day and night to earn money for her husband to take the exam.

As expected, the scholar lived up to expectations and passed the examination. Once he became an official in the imperial court, he never returned to his former jelly shop.

The wife waited for three years left and right, but she still didn't get her husband back. She barely makes ends meet by relying on the jelly shop.

It turns out that after a man passed the entrance examination, he was chosen as the son-in-law by the prime minister. The man honestly said that he had been promised a wife in his hometown.

The prime minister said that for the sake of his daughter's happiness, he hoped that the man would think clearly. If he insisted on having his wife, he would not be able to survive in Kyoto.

For the sake of his career, he could only leave his former wife behind. Until the male and female protagonists have become old men.

Many years later, the man has already become successful and does not need to rely on his father-in-law's power. The prime minister's daughter has also passed away. This year, there was a famine in the man's hometown, and he remembered that he once had a home.

So he rushed back to his hometown and walked into the old jelly shop. Standing in front of him was an old woman with a wrinkled face and a haggard appearance.

The old woman's jelly shop has not been open for a long time, and because of the famine, everyone has nothing to eat, and there are no peas for making jelly.

The man's mouth was trembling as he called her former nickname, and tears were already streaming down his face.

Only then did the old woman recognize who he was. She had waited for decades, but at this moment she was so excited that she couldn't make a sound.

The old woman wanted to cook another bowl of jelly for the man, but she searched the entire kitchen and couldn't find any pea flour.

If the man says he can't do it, forget it. He will be satisfied if he can come back to see her again in his lifetime.

The old woman just wanted the man to taste what they had eaten together again, but the reality was so cruel.

Finally, she found some old flour in an old clay vat and started working on it right away. She chatted with the man about how she lived the days without her, and said that she had thought about going back to find him, but was afraid of delaying his future.

As she spoke, tears blurred her eyes and dripped into the flour.

She brought him a bowl of dark old dough, and the man took it and put it in his mouth with tears in his eyes.

It still tastes the same as before, and the dough in your mouth has already turned into pea jelly.

The man stayed in the jelly shop for a day, and when he finally left, he only said to the woman: "I am sorry for you in this life, and I will accompany you in the next life!"

After inspecting the disaster, the man returned to Beijing and submitted a letter requesting the imperial court to provide relief.

Later, the people he sent to his hometown to inquire about information said that the woman in the jelly shop had aged peacefully. There was also a bowl of freshly prepared gnocchi on the table.

The man recalled the jelly of the past, and the ups and downs of life were all contained in it. How can one not be sad?

Since then, gnocchi has become a famous sad jelly! "

After listening to the story, Yan Shu's face was already filled with tears.

Since ancient times, there have been many stories of men betraying women, which can only show that women are too soft-hearted and too infatuated.

"Whether this story is true or false, this sad jelly is indeed delicious. What do you think?"

Liu Zhuo looked at Yan Shu.

Yan Shu had already finished the remaining jelly and replied:

"This jelly indeed contains the ups and downs, so it's just right to call it sad jelly. I can only say that the heroine in this story is too infatuated in her life, and the man is too unkind."

Liu Zhuo: "Maybe this man has too much helplessness. The power of his father-in-law's family will definitely overwhelm him. If he goes back early, his wife probably won't be able to live a stable life."

Yan Shu: "From a woman's point of view, she only needs a true love instead of living in this world."

Liu Zhuo knew that he couldn't argue with Yan Shu, and besides, this was a relatively sensitive topic.

He had no choice but to smooth things over:

"Don't worry, sister, I won't be the heartless man in the story no matter what."

Yan Shu reacted and smiled: "Of course, you are already a wealthy person, so you don't need to rely on anyone."

Liu Zhuo: "A rich family? What do you mean?"

Only then did Yan Shu think that this word might not have existed in ancient times.

I can only reply: "Well, it means that you are already powerful and no one is suppressing you!"

Liu Zhuo scratched his head and said with a smile: "What my sister said makes sense, so I can do what I want to do."

After they finished drinking the glutinous rice dumplings, they were ready to get up and move forward.

Yan Shu felt that she was done shopping today, so she said she was going back to the inn.

Liu Zhuo saw that Yan Shu and Yaya were also a little tired, so he agreed to walk to the alley to see them back.

At this time, two young men walked across from Yan Shu and bumped into Yan Shu deliberately.

Yaya was almost knocked to the ground.

Liu Zhuo immediately grabbed one of the men's arms and said, "What's wrong with you? You hit a woman in broad daylight?"

The man smiled and said, "Sorry, I didn't look at the road carefully. Don't be angry. Don't be angry."

Yan Shu pulled Liu Zhuo and said, "Forget it, there are too many people, and they didn't mean it. Let's leave quickly."

Seeing that Yan Shu didn't pursue the issue anymore, Liu Zhuo let go of his hand.

The two men seized the opportunity and disappeared.
