Chapter 54

Borrow a cow?

An Yi smiled.No wonder, when he settled down in the past, he always felt that his parents were surprisingly well-connected, and their cattle would disappear for a few days in a strange way during the busy farming season. It turned out that there were also factors in this aspect.

An Yi just laughed a little at this little calculation, but actually didn't care.Who can expect a person who can spend more than 100 taels of silver to buy a piece of clothing without changing his expression?It would be nice not to treat money like dung.

You know, even if the Cheng family gave him a lot of compensation back then, those belongings were still held in Zhou's hands, not one cent more than his. Even now, Zhou's packed them into boxes and used them as his dowry .More specifically, it just left a bunch of data in his heart.As for the purchasing power of these things... It is estimated that Wang Meng, who came from the orthodox gentry, knows better than him.

If I say too much, I will cry.It stands to reason that no matter who you are, you should always be the housekeeper of the party you marry, but ever since he partnered with An Yi, Wang Meng, a son who doesn't know much about common affairs, has become the housewife of the housekeeper. Someone is either reading or sleeping. Cook, to reflect the presence of the mistress, all other things are the work of Wang Meng, the head of the family.

As for Wang Meng, a man who is used to extravagance, he will only buy what he sees and needs, and he will not even pay back the price.If he hadn't gone shopping with Anda once, let Anda see it, and slowly taught him a lot of tricks, even if he spent a lot of money, he wouldn't be able to buy good things.

As for him living alone for so long, he didn't feel that he was being slaughtered. Anda once discussed it, probably because his face was too resolute, and the murderous aura around him was too strong, which made the seller afraid of him, so he was the most courageous He only dared to kill him quietly, and didn't dare to lie to him with fake products, for fear that he would come to his senses and kill his whole family or something.

Wang Meng: "..." He has killed people before, but he hasn't gone mad enough to kill the whole family...

Life is nothing more than firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea.Under the leadership of An's family, Wang Meng's general affairs gradually became more comfortable, and An Yi also adapted to the current comfortable and easy life.The two of them had enough to eat every day, and either stayed in the study room and read a book (An Yi miscellaneous books read everything, and Wang Meng read the art of war), or stayed in the studio and made some weird things according to An Yi's new ideas.

One day, when An Yi was reading a cookbook, he suddenly had a new idea. He created a hot pot recipe and asked Wang Meng to practice it at noon. The two nestled in the living room and cooked hot pot lively.

In the winter, when the snow is falling, it is still the most comfortable to eat hot pot. After eating hot, the whole body will be warm.

I forgot to mention that today is the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, and it is only a few days away from the Chinese New Year, which happens to be the day when the first snow falls this year.As for the hot pot, it is not An Yi's original creation, but a unique food in the north, which has a history of more than 200 years in the Daqing Dynasty.

The recipe of this hot pot base made by An Yi is spicy.Before he was poisoned, he was addicted to spicy and sweet, and occasionally he could eat a little sour, but all the spicy seasonings in the Daqing Dynasty currently use chili peppers.However, no matter what kind of chili pepper it is, it contains slight toxins, and it is like destroying An Yi's body, which is full of holes like a sieve. Just a small bite can make him vomit and diarrhea for a whole day.

But man, that's how it is sometimes.Things that can be eaten or not, once they are not allowed to eat, they will scratch their hearts and miss them.Not to mention that An Yi is good at it.He held back for several years without touching or mentioning it, not because he really didn't want to, but just because he didn't want to see his parents and elder brother sigh.

Although the "prison head" has been changed now, at least the seniority is equal, and Wang Meng, who has not experienced the dark and panic days and will not be cautious to the point of being a snake, his tolerance and tolerance are too much higher , which made An Yi slowly ponder over it.

If you can't eat chili, it doesn't mean you can't eat spicy food, right?There are so many wonders in the world, maybe he can find a seasoning that can replace chili.

Not to mention, hard work pays off, and he really found it from the newly arrived books.A kind of fruit from the south of the Daqing Dynasty. The locals call it Xiaohongguo. It tastes spicy and has a little sweetness. It is more comforting than the spiciness of pure chili.

Fortunately, this kind of fruit was included in the gifts from Wang Kuang and his friends. Although the amount was not much, it was just for him to taste a novelty, at least it satisfied his appetite.

"How is it? Is it to your taste?" An Yi boiled a piece of mutton, blew it into his mouth, and asked Wang Meng while eating.He himself is quite satisfied with this taste, but he doesn't know what Wang Meng thinks.But seeing how delicious his food is, it shouldn't be bad?

"Yeah, not to mention, this hot pot is much more delicious than the previous ones after being made like this by you. It should be spicy, and there is a fragrance of fruit trees in the spicy, delicious!" Wang Meng ate while rinsing. Taking care of comfort and the dog cub Dalang at his feet (equivalent to a big wolf, because he looks like a wolf, sweat...), the busy one is called a busy job.

While the two of them were having a hot meal, someone outside the courtyard suddenly called Wang Meng. Wang Meng replied loudly, "Wait a minute", and let An Yi eat first, and walked out. After a while, he brought a person with him. Come in.An Yi looked up and saw that it was Wu Cong, one of them who helped Wang Meng in on the day of their wedding.

"It's you, sit down quickly, it's quite cold outside, it's freezing." An Yi gave up his seat with a smile, and asked Wang Meng to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks, "If you don't mind, let's eat together."

"Excuse me, sister-in-law. I'm really cold, thank you." Wu Cong smiled apologetically at An Yi, then nodded to Wang Meng, sat down honestly, picked up the bowls and chopsticks, and ate first Take a few bites.To be honest, the weather is so damn cold that he would freeze to a stick if he stood outside for a long time. Although he ran all the way here, he was still terribly cold, and urgently needed something warm to keep him warm.

Wang Meng glanced at the food left on the table, and saw that Wu Cong looked like he hadn't had time to eat, so he went to the kitchen to wash some vegetables, cut a large plate of mutton and pork slices, and then took the plate Come in, "Why are you running here at this time?"

There is some food in the stomach, and the heating is still in the living room. At this moment, Wu Cong finally recovered, put down his chopsticks, and said, "Brother Mengzi, I am here this time to discuss something with you and my sister-in-law."

Wu Cong took a deep breath, and then said seriously, "Brother Mengzi, almost everyone in the village knows your kung fu. Now, to be disrespectful, the famous old hunters in the village are actually not as good as you. You. I want to ask, can you take me with you when you go hunting in the mountains in the future? I have always wanted to learn how to hunt seriously from a teacher. There are quite a few, even if I teach, I don’t have the heart to point out everywhere. So I think..."

"Want me to teach you?" Wang Meng received.

"Yes, is it okay?" Wu Cong looked at him pitifully, fearing that he would not agree, he hurriedly assured him, "Don't worry, I will learn to hunt from you. I will never talk back or contradict you. And , I definitely came here according to the formal apprenticeship, changing the address, serving tea and water, and even the due Shu Xiu, and the etiquette of the festivals, I will not miss it."

Wu Cong said it firmly, and the light of hope shone in his eyes.But Wang Meng frowned when he heard that, what Shuxiu?What etiquette?His worth can almost buy the entire Wangshan Village, so he still cares about this?Immediately, his tone of voice was not good, "Do you think if I am willing to call you, it is because I have taken a fancy to your training and etiquette?"

Wu Cong was stunned for a moment, then realized that he had said the wrong thing, and shook his head hastily, "Of course not! Of course not! I can't speak. What I mean is, I sincerely want to ask you to be my teacher, and I will never complain. As for Shu The ritual of repairing peace is what the master deserves, not a negotiation condition. Brother, although you are very capable, it is boring to go up the mountain alone, so just take me? Even if you don’t teach me anything, let me help you carry things , it’s also good to lift the prey. Otherwise, if you hit too much at once, you won’t be able to get it back.”

What he said was too pitiful, and Wang Meng couldn't sit still, and he couldn't bear to be followed. He would definitely go up the mountain alone in the future, which made people worry. No, you just take him with you? It looks pitiful. However, you can take you up the mountain, and it’s okay to teach you a little hunting skills once in a while, but let’s forget about the apprenticeship. There are multiple generations in it, and you Meng Zige is not a professional hunting hunter, so what he can teach you is limited, especially the basic things. It's best, you should ask a special master, and let you learn it when you are almost done. Brother Mengzi will take you to practice your hands and your courage..."

"Ayi." Wang Meng didn't expect An Yi to open his mouth to agree, and called him in displeasure.

"Why? I can't make the decision?" An Yi smiled and looked back at him, her face didn't change a bit.Wang Meng obviously had nothing to do with him, so he could only lower his head and keep silent, expressing that he was unhappy.

"This..." Wu Cong glanced hesitantly at Wang Meng, whose face was darkened, and carefully at An Yi, who was smiling calmly, not knowing what to do.

"Don't worry, since I dare to say it, I'm confident that I can do it. Didn't you Meng Zige not object? Now you just need to tell me whether you agree or not." An Yi doesn't care......
