The story of the little man "marrying" his wife

After dragging the bamboo back, most of the day passed. Ge Dashun returned home. Lu Bai was tired from running today, so he rested at home for a while before starting to cook.

Clean up the rabbits caught by rhubarb and put them in the pot to cook first. I heard from the veterinarian in the town that it is best to feed the dogs light food, so I did not add salt. I pulled a few green onions from the yard and cut them up. Put the old ginger into the pot to remove the fishy smell.

Besides, salt is also expensive. After taking out the two rabbit legs to the big gray rhubarb and then adding salt, it can save some money.

Rabbit meat was being boiled in the pot here, and he had nothing else to do, so he went to the yard and chopped a bamboo, guessing that the fire at the bottom of the stove might not be much, so he put down the ax in his hand.

After Lu Bai finished his work in the kitchen, Ge Dashun came in with two large rough bowls, ordering them on time, just like looking at the chimney of Lu Bai's house.

"My mother ordered the sugar water."

He handed Lu Bai a bowl of brown sugar water, and complained, "It's all for women."

As soon as Lu Bai took it, he heard him say this. After taking a sip of the sweet and cold sugar water, he felt comfortable, and he hadn't drunk sugar water for a long time.

Aunt Ge San seems to have put jujubes in it when she cooked it, so she can taste the taste of jujubes.

People in the village have nothing to eat and drink. Cooking sugar water in summer is a big deal, and it is very important. After all, it is sugar. Lu Bai seldom drinks it now, and brown sugar is not cheap in the town.

As for the shrimps, Dashun fished them from the river by himself, and anyone in the village could get some, so in their opinion, those shrimps were really not as expensive as a bowl of sugar water.

Aunt Ge San also brought him a bowl because her family Dashun wanted to come to Lu Bai's place to eat meat, and the relationship between the two families was good, so she happened to cook some meat today.

Lu Bai drank a few sips and asked Ge Dashun: "Then have you drunk?"

Ge Dashun nodded casually and said, "Drink it."

He was absent-minded, and looked into the pot as he spoke. Lu Bai fried a pot of rabbit meat with green chili, red dried chili and garlic cloves, and it looked very good.

The peppers and garlic are all grown in his own yard, and the dried ones are dried last year, and they don't cost any money, so Lu Bai is more willing.

Lu Bai put the rabbit meat into a bowl, Ge Dashun came over and brought some shrimps, and the two brought the food to the middle hall together.

The sun outside had not yet set, and the sun was shining brightly. Under the shadow of the eaves, the big gray and rhubarb were eating rabbit legs, and Lu Bai and Ge Dashun were also eating.

"what about the taste?"

Lu Bai tasted the rabbit meat and asked Ge Dashun.

Thumbs up, Ge Dashun took another piece of rabbit meat and said, "You are good at craftsmanship."

After eating the piece of meat, he said again: "When you marry a daughter-in-law from now on, the daughter-in-law will enjoy the blessings. If you don't want to cook, you can cook."

Most of the men in the village can't cook, Ge Dashun can't, he has his mother to cook for him, but Lu Bai is different, he is the only one left in the family, and he gradually mastered it, and he is pretty good at cooking. Talented.

The draft blew past, and Lu Bai laughed when he heard him say that, feeling much relieved.

Looking at the rabbit meat, he thought of Shen Orion. Last time, the rabbit that Shen Orion gave him ate like this. It was just because he had accepted the favor from the other party. He was too embarrassed to go up again. What if Orion gave him something again? Said it tastes good, and I will give some to Orion when I catch rabbits next time.

As for inviting Orion to eat at home, Lu Bai wasn't sure if Orion would come, but they came back from the town together at noon, and listening to Shen Changlan talk about those things, they felt that their relationship was better than before.

Eating some spicy rabbit meat and drinking cold sugar water, Lu Bai felt that he had a really good day, and he even ate bean curd in the morning.

After eating and drinking, Ge Dashun patted his buttocks, wiped his mouth, and went back with two empty bowls.

Lu Bai didn't let him into the kitchen to wash the dishes, he was careless, he didn't wash the dishes in their house very much, and his hands were neither serious nor heavy, so he was afraid that he would knock the dishes.

After washing the bowls and chopsticks, he felt that something greasy was on his hands, so Lu Bai fetched another basin of water and washed his hands with acacia.

Living alone, the house is colder, no one talks to him, so when washing his hands, he is thinking about things.

I heard that the sophisticated people in the town use scented tablets for washing their hands and bathing. There are all kinds of scents, such as plum blossom, peach blossom, jasmine, and face powder. Of course, this is for twins and women.

After a busy day today, he ran around the town and up the mountain, Lu Bai was still a little full after eating.

It is said that spring is sleepy, autumn is exhausted, and summer naps. When his parents were there, there were many people in the family, and they worked faster, so every summer noon, when the sun was at its highest, they could still sleep for a while. Now it's just Lu Bai. , If you want to earn money, you have to work, and if you work too much, you can't stop working.

It was almost evening at this time, the heat dissipated a little, and there was a draft passing through the hall, Lu Bai rubbed his neck, he was really tired today, and saw that the bamboo reclining chairs in the lobby belonged to his father before.

He wanted to rest for a while, get up and go to the field to pull weeds while the sun was out.

Relaxing on the reclining chair, Lu Bai sighed leisurely, it's so comfortable, when he has money in the future, he can rest at noon, without having to work like this.

Rhubarb and Dahui also felt the heat outside, so they all lay in the shade.

Closing his eyes, Lu Bai planned to squint for a while, but in a daze, he felt a pain in his lower abdomen, and frowned before opening his eyes.

Fortunately, the faint falling pain came and went quickly, and it didn't take long for him to feel it anymore, so he rested peacefully for a while.

----

"The fish is sold, fresh fish."

In a long and narrow alley, when the wind blows, the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus comes from somewhere, and it smells quite nice.

With a pole on his shoulders, Lu Bai picked up two wooden barrels and sold fish.

He didn't go to the morning market today, and he really couldn't take care of both ends by himself. He would go there tomorrow, which was different from selling fish. The wooden barrel was too heavy, so it was right to take a day off from selling fish.

A house in the alley with a closed courtyard door creaked and opened it. Lu Bai slowed down when he heard the sound, wondering if he was buying fish.

"Little Yulang, let me take a look at your fish."

A young girl came out, about fifteen or sixteen, with a flushed face, she called out to Lu Bai.

"Is there any white-bellied fish?" the girl asked while looking down at the bucket.

The white-bellied fish she was talking about was a kind of white-bellied fish with few spines and tender meat. The stewed soup was very nourishing, and the price was a bit more expensive. Unfortunately, Lu Bai didn't catch it today.

"There is no white belly, but there is redhead fish, which is also stewed."

Lu Bai took out the pole and said, this girl is the little maid of this family, he knew when he came to sell fish before, and he could support a maid, so he came to ask if she had a white belly.

"I'll ask my mother-in-law, you wait first."

The little maid couldn't make up her mind, so she went in to ask again.

The courtyard door was open, and Lu Bai was waiting outside, but he heard a conversation between the little maid and a woman in the courtyard. The woman's voice was quite loud, and her voice came out: "It's that pretty little fish Lang?"

"Oh, mother-in-law."

The little maid stomped her feet immediately.

But such a tone can easily make people think of the blushing girl complaining, asking the elders to keep their voices down.

Sure enough, the mother-in-law lowered her voice and whispered something to the little maid.

When the little girl came out again, she looked at Lu Bai and her face became even redder, but the lady and master at home wanted to eat fish, so they had to buy it.

"Give me a red head, and choose a big one for the grass carp. Our master wants to eat the pot today."

Pots are eaten by rich people in the town, and some are called shabu-shabu hot pots. Lu Bai knows it, but he has never eaten it.

He smiled when he heard the maid said that he wanted to buy fish. Although he was a little embarrassed to hear what the mother-in-law said just now, the business still needs to be done.

Grass carp is cheap, only four pennies. If Lu Bai's grass carp is not alive, it will be one penny cheaper. If it is dead fish, it is even less valuable. Sometimes it can be bought for two pennies.

This kind of food is eaten fresh, and the fastidious people in the town don't eat dead fish. The maid didn't say anything after hearing the price, and the family is obviously the fastidious one.

The maid went back with the two fish, and she closed the door, but when she closed the door, she secretly glanced at Lu Bai who was leaving with the burden.

The sun has already come out, and the sky is getting hotter. The fish in this wooden barrel can't withstand the sun, otherwise they will turn their stomachs. At that time, they will be sold at the price of dead fish, which will be much cheaper, so Lu Bai yelled and walked faster , try to walk in the shade.

After walking through five or six alleys, most of the fish were sold, two buckets of water were heavy enough, and Lu Bai was terribly tired.

Linxi Town is neither big nor small, and Lu Bai wandered around the houses and alleys that he estimated to be relatively affluent, and after turning around, he came to the vicinity of Hualou.

There were still some fish left unsold, and the sun was getting hotter, so he entered the alley of the medical hall where he often came, and the shadow of the flower building slanted down, covering a large area of ​​shade near the entrance of the alley, and he stopped here to rest , rubbing his shoulders.

Looking at the fish in the two buckets, there are almost [-] fish, some of them have turned over, the white belly turned over, and the two or three fish at the bottom of the bucket have not turned over yet, but they are already motionless.

He thought about it, but he couldn't sell it for a good price anyway. The medical center is nearby, so he simply sent it to the doctor and drug boy. He usually comes here to sell herbs, and these few fish cost nothing. It's a bit tiring to pick them from the village, so it's good to send them for personal favors, and forget about those who have turned their stomachs. Before the three are still alive, send them over quickly.

It's just that as soon as he walked in with his load, a door at the entrance of the alley opened, it was the small door of Hualou.

"Young master, how do you sell this fish?"

A maid in light yellow clothes came out and asked, she had powdered on her body, it wasn't strong, but she could smell it.

"It's all fresh in the morning. It's just that the sun has turned over some of them. You should take a look first. That's all. You can choose whatever you want, and you can do if you don't."

Lu Bai put down the burden again for her to watch.

The maid was very nimble, rolled up her sleeves and took a belly-turned fish out of the bucket. It was indeed a fresh fish.

"These are all, you can pick them in."

She put the fish back and said, walking towards the door, asking Lu Bai to follow her.

It's always good to sell out at once, so Lu Bai took up the burden and went in.

In fact, he was still a little uneasy, because this is Hualou, a place he has never been to.

After entering, Lu Bai thought to himself, he is a fish seller, why do he think so much.

The servant girl led him to the kitchen. The backyard of Hualou was actually no different from other yards, so Lu Bai felt more at ease.

Because she had all of them, Lu Bai considered it cheap. There were a total of eight fish, and the price itself was not high. The undisturbed fish and the undisturbed fish were calculated as the same price, and they were all three pennies.

Although there are cheap grass carp that have turned belly up and died, there are also a few fish with a higher price. In this way, three Wen per fish is really not expensive.

The scallops in the bucket were poured into the big wooden basin together, and Lu Bai said the price. He thought in his heart, if he bargained, he would let it be cheaper and wipe off the change, but the maid in light yellow clothes didn't say the price at all. Just gave him the money.

Lu Bai, who was carrying the empty bucket back home, felt relieved now, and he didn't feel his shoulders being worn down.

He thanked the maid who sent him out and left.

And in a room with half-open windows on the third floor, Shen Changlan was sitting in it, even though she was dressed in common clothes, she couldn't hide her appearance.

The maid in light yellow clothes came up and said that he had bought all the fish, he nodded slightly, and glanced at the man in green shirt with an interested face beside him, without explaining this.
