Lu Yunchen was so sleepy that he stared at him in a daze. He was suddenly startled by Qin Muyan, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back. After seeing the person clearly by the moonlight, he breathed a sigh of relief.He got up and snorted the little husband's head, and said in a warm voice, "Go to bed first, my husband will buy candied haws for you early tomorrow morning, okay? Don't worry, as long as your husband is still alive, you can't cry if you dig three feet into the ground." He ran away."

Got the guarantee, Qin Muyan nodded dully, then closed his eyes, Lu Yunchen patted his beating heart, and lay down next to him, as if coaxing a child, patted his cheeks one after another. shoulders, until the sound of long breathing came from the people around him.

next day,

The morning light was twilight, and the warm morning light pierced through the thin clouds, dispelling the black sky. Lu Yunchen pushed open the door, and the cool breeze came slowly, and he stretched long.

Last night, he promised Qin Muyan to buy candied haws for him today. After waking up, he tucked the quilt up for the little guy and tiptoed out.

"Yun Chen, what are you doing up so early?" The old lady came out from the west room, her heart was so hot that she couldn't fall asleep when she woke up, thinking of going out to get some air,

"Grandma, I'm going out to see if there are any candied haws sold. Ah Yan has been thinking about it all night." Lu Yunchen put on his outer shirt neatly, opened the wooden door bolt, and was about to go out.

"Oh, you child, Ah Yan doesn't understand, and you don't understand either. If you have a body, how can you eat this thing? This hawthorn promotes Qi and disperses stasis. If Mu Yan eats it, it will be terrible. What?" The old lady hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, there is no elder in the family, but it is not possible, it is the first time for the two children to experience this kind of thing, and they have no experience at first glance, let alone how to conceive a child.

Lu Yunchen was speechless for a while. Fortunately, he did not find the hawker selling candied haws last night. Otherwise, according to his own temperament, Qin Muyan would never refuse to buy it for him if he said he wanted to eat it. If he really ate it, it would be a big trouble up.

Well... I don't want to buy candied haws anymore. When Qin Muyan wakes up, he can't eat something that he has been thinking about all night. It might be so uncomfortable.

"Grandma, then I'll go out and see if there's anything else to eat. It's still early, so go back and rest for a while. I'll cook porridge for you when I come back..." Although Lu Yunchen didn't know that a pregnant woman couldn't eat hawthorn, But from various reports in later generations, we know that people are in a sensitive period at this moment. If they want to eat something, if they are neglected, they will be worried about it for a lifetime. Besides, who said that candied haws are only hawthorn?

He walked around the market, and saw a lot of small vendors selling candied haws, but they were all hawthorns. I remember that in later generations, candied haws had a variety of patterns, all kinds of strange things, and even the pot of meat can wrap you in a circle. The honey-filled syrup is sold as candied haws.

Barren, really barren... Lu Yunchen muttered to himself, just as a small fruit vendor was passing by with two loads of tangerines. The yellow tangerines were fragrant, watery and full of fragrance, he With an idea, he immediately picked out a few round tangerines. Hawthorns are not edible, so these oranges are okay. When he visited his friends in his previous life, he took them with him. He clearly remembered that his pregnant friend ate them. It's so happy and real.

Seeing off the guests who came for breakfast, Lu Yunchen was free, so Lu Yunchen carried the tangerines into the kitchen, ready to start cooking sugar.

There is a lot of care in boiling sugar, not only the ratio of sugar and water, but more importantly, the heat. Lu Yunchen felt that the ratio of sugar to water was one to two, first stirred with high heat, and boiled for a quarter of an hour. The boiling syrup was dyed golden, hissing with tiny dense bubbles, which exploded in the pot with a "bang", and the sweet fragrance lingered in an instant, and even the body was covered with sweetness.

Lu Yunchen dipped his chopsticks in the syrup, lifted it up vigorously, and pulled out the sugar threads as thin as green silk. He put out the fire on the stove, held the handle of the pot with a rag, tilted it slightly, and skewered the handle with a bamboo stick. A string of orange petals sticks to the boiled hot syrup, dense air bubbles appear, twisting the wrist and turning gently, the orange petals are covered with a thin layer of clear syrup.

Surrounded by the stove are two "greedy cats", eagerly waiting for the candied haws to come out of the pot.

"Let me show you something fun..." Lu Yunchen pretended to be mysterious, twisted the bamboo sticks with both hands, placed the orange petals upside down, turned them slightly, and the clear golden sugar juice splashed in all directions, fluffy like a goddess scattered flowers The intricate candied sugar wraps tightly around the tangerine segment.

"Wow..." The two greedy cats cheered as expected, "This is too beautiful..."

Qin Muyan straightened his eyes, stared at the candied haws and swallowed fiercely, feeling that his whole body was soaked in sweetness, he stretched out his restless claws, and was slapped off by Lu Yunchen. "What's the hurry, it's not good yet, wait a little longer..."

He put the candied haws wrapped in sugar juice on the chopping board, which he specially soaked in cold water to help the candied haws cool and shape.

After a while, the sugar juice solidified, and Lu Yunchen distributed it to Qin Muyan and Liang Huan.

Compared with those sold by small vendors, the candied haws made by my husband are made of strong materials. The orange petals on the skewers are big and plump, and even the white silk is removed. The outer skin is sweet and crisp with silk With a hint of coolness, Qin Muyan took a big bite and made a crackling sound. The orange petals inside burst open in his mouth, and the sweet and sour juice soaked his mouth in an instant.

"Delicious!" He held the candied haws in his hands, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

"After eating this string, you can't eat any more. The oranges are very angry. If you eat too much, you can get angry. After eating in a while, go and rinse your mouth. Liang Huan and you too..." Lu Yunchen asked in a rambling manner, thanks to Mr. Lu The wife reminded that before, he always followed Qin Muyan and ate whatever he wanted, but now he can't be so unprincipled.

Qin Muyan was immersed in the joy of eating candied haws, and nodded perfunctorily. When he learned that he could not eat hawthorn early in the morning, he was indeed depressed for a while, but for the sake of the baby in his womb, he had to succumb to his appetite. My husband's craftsmanship is so good, and the orange candied haws he makes are also delicious. He is extremely rare for sweets, so he is not willing to let it go, just waiting to sneak a few more when his husband is not paying attention.

It happened that a couple in the shop came to eat with their children, and the children saw that the candied haws in Qin Muyan's hands were very attractive, and they kept clamoring to eat them. Two skewers, to satisfy the children's cravings, Lu Yunchen simply made a few more, and divided them among the children who came to the store for lunch. Everyone was very happy to get candied haws.

......

At noon, Gu Ping went to the market to buy fruits and vegetables, and came back with a cart after a while.

"Hey, Brother Yunchen, you don't know, the market is very lively today..." After unloading the fruits and vegetables, he poured out a bowl of cool water and boiled it. Secret way.

"Why did Brother Ping say that? But what happened in the market?"

"Isn't Chunfenglou in the street market? I was shopping with the hawker. Li Datou staggered out of Chunfenglou, reeking of alcohol, and was blocked by the treasurer Qiu of the steamed stuffed bun shop. I stayed far away, so I couldn't quite hear what the two of them said. I could only hear shopkeeper Qiu insisting that Li Datou had lied to them... Somehow, the two of them suddenly started fighting, and I will walk away for a while , They are still rolling on the ground, there is a circle of people around, not even a single person to fight, they just sit aside and watch happily." Li Datou vividly told Lu Yunchen the situation at that time, when he got up, he still Getting started with martial arts, it made Qin Muyan and Liang Huan giggle like hens.

Lu Yunchen pondered for a while, maybe it wasn't what the shopkeeper of Qingmeizhai Song said, the shopkeepers of several shops who were tricked by Li Datou to cut prices have lost all their money during the past few days, and they clamored for Li Datou to compensate them for their losses. Li Datou is such a shrewd person, naturally he is unwilling, and he has made enemies with these few shops in the town, and today's incident is not unusual.

"It's just that you will kill yourself if you do many unrighteous actions..."

In this way, just these shopkeepers who came to ask for compensation are enough for Li Datou to drink a pot. In a short time, it is not so easy to instigate these people to do something to suppress He Xingju Now, they can breathe a sigh of relief, but that day, Lu Yunchen was still a little concerned about the fifth-rank governor Mr. Song said that day, worried that although Li Datou had lost his prestige in the town, he had found a new backer, and then he would embarrass them again. .

"Husband, don't worry about it. He Xingju still has us. Besides, my husband is resourceful and extremely smart. Even ten Li Datou can't keep up with your husband..." Qin Muyan saw his concerns and shook his hand. Holding his hand to reassure.

Surrounded by soft and warm palms, Lu Yunchen felt that the dark clouds accumulated in his heart were quietly dissipating, and a dazzling light ushered in, "If you can gain Ah Yan's trust, your husband will not be afraid of anything."

Later, thick dark clouds enveloped the sky, and the sky gradually darkened. A gust of wind gusts in the distance, rolling dead branches and broken leaves into the air, making people confused and unable to see the road ahead.

"I'm afraid it's going to rain heavily today." Before Gu Ping finished speaking, a slash of lightning pierced the dark sky, followed by rumbling thunder. Liang Huan was so frightened that he hurried into Gu Ping's arms, trembling, Even more so, he quickly covered Qin Muyan's ears.

Then, the menacing torrential rain poured down, and passers-by without umbrellas covered their heads and ran wildly. Unfortunately, the rain came in a hurry, and their clothes were soaked before they ran far. Lu Yunchen called them into the house to hide from the rain. The steaming ginger soup was given to them.

"Boss Lu, your family is so considerate, you even have ginger soup to drink..." Several men dressed as scholars took the ginger soup, cooled it carefully, and pecked slowly one mouthful at a time.

"You're welcome, drink it quickly, it's cold today, drink some ginger soup to warm your body." Lu Yunchen said disapprovingly, poured a pot of hot tea, moved out the recliner and sat under the eaves, listening to the violent sound of rain outside , while sipping it carefully.

"Boss Lu is really very elegant..." The scholar is also a frequent visitor of Hexingju. He has known Lu Yunchen since he set up a stall selling pot helmets. I love to have a lot of contact with businessmen, I just feel that I have lost my identity. Lu Yunchen is not the case. Although he is also a businessman, he does not have the slightest smell of copper, but he is full of grace and elegance, with the dignity of a scholar. They can't help but get close.

The rainstorm came violently and went in a hurry, and it weakened after a while. The scholars couldn't wait any longer. They thanked Lu Yunchen's ginger soup and ran away with their schoolbags on their heads.

"Brother Ping, we are not going to open today. We should close the door earlier. I see that we will have to leave later. You might as well not go back to the village today. It is getting late and it has rained. The road is not sure Let's go, Ah Yan and I will tidy up the east house for you, so we can make do with staying here for the night." Lu Yunchen suggested, the road back to the village is all muddy, and the turbulence that is one foot deep and the other foot shallow makes clothes wet. Not to mention, it's not good to suffer from the cold again.

Hearing this, Gu Ping discussed it with Liang Huan, then looked outside at the stormy sky outside, and simply listened to Lu Yunchen to deal with it for one night, and they would move to the town in a few days. It will be more convenient then.

"Then brother Yunchen and Brother Qin will be troublesome." The two thanked each other.

Qin Muyan was overjoyed that Liang Huan was able to stay, and hurriedly dragged Liang Huan out of the bedroom excitedly.

Gu Ping stayed in the kitchen to help Lu Yunchen pack the ingredients for dinner. It was a rainy day, and it was a bit chilly. The family gathered together, and they should have some hot food.

Lu Yunchen took off the two ends of the beans, broke them into several sections of appropriate size, peeled and washed the potatoes, cut them into hob pieces, and put them aside for later use. Gu Ping went out today and bought ribs, which can be used to make a pot of Northeast China stew.

He took the wok and stir-fried minced shallots, ginger, and garlic to give off an oily aroma. He stir-fried the potatoes and string beans for a while until the skin was crispy and browned. Lu Yunchen took out a few spoonfuls, poured them into the pot, wrapped the spices in gauze, tied the pockets tightly, put them in together, and finally spread a thick layer of pork ribs.

Gu Ping didn't expect that Lu Yunchen usually eats so generously. He and Liang Huan couldn't bear to eat this big pork ribs for several months.

"Brother Ping, watch the fire for a while, I'll make some pasta." Lu Yunchen told Gu Ping to watch the fire, and when the pot boiled, he would skim off the foam.

Lu Yunchen kneaded two handfuls of the dough that had been proofed earlier, emptied the air out of it, rolled it into a large flat pancake, spread it with rustling pastry, folded it in half, cut it into several long strips, and hand For a while, Gu Ping did not see Lu Yunchen's movements clearly, and made the plump, twist-shaped flower rolls one by one.

Lu Yunchen covered the blanket and woke up for a quarter of an hour. At this time, the soup in the pot was already boiling. When the lid was lifted, white mist billowed and enveloped the kitchen. Gu Ping took a deep breath, feeling that his chest was soaked With a plump meaty aroma.

Spread the flower rolls in the pot and simmer for another quarter of an hour until the rich soup was completely absorbed. Lu Yunchen chopped green green onions and sprinkled them on the flower rolls for decoration.

While the stew was boring, there was still some milk left at home. I was afraid that it would be stale tomorrow, so Lu Yunchen made some milk tea, which tastes better when paired with a stew pot.

"Dinner is ready..Dinner is ready..." Gu Ping took a rag and held a hot casserole in his hands, and walked back quickly. Lu Yunchen followed behind with the dishes, and went to the Westinghouse to invite the old lady first. After coming out, the remaining two greedy cats found out by themselves after smelling it without calling.

Putting the casserole on the table, Lu Yunchen told everyone to move their chopsticks quickly. The people who were not too hungry saw the pot full of stew, and their stomachs started to growl unconsciously.

Qin Muyan was very curious about the milky milk tea in front of him. He picked up the bowl and took a sip first. The hot milk tea was warm and fragrant in the mouth, overflowing with a faint tea fragrance. There was a circle of white milk foam around his mouth. Really cute.

Unable to restrain himself, Gu Ping picked up a spare rib in the stew pot. The spare rib was oily and browned, not greasy or smelly. The mellow hot soup dripped on the ground along the lines of the plump meat, splashing oily flowers. He pinched the spare rib When the two ends of the pork ribs are slightly squished, the meat will be separated from the bone, and the salty aroma will explode in the mouth. The pork ribs soaked in rich chicken soup will be firm and chewy, and the more you chew, the more delicious it will be.

Liang Huan picked up a piece of boiled potato, and with a little force, the potato shattered. The inside was tender yellow and soft, and it tasted like a rustle. The juice is full of fat.

The flower rolls are fluffy and soft, and the taste is extremely rich. The rich aroma of chicken soup and the deliciousness of pork ribs are completely integrated.

A few people ate their heads and concentrated on eating. When they looked up again, they were covered in thin sweat. As expected, it started to rain again outside the window. The indifferent wind swept the raindrops and beat the eaves, pattering like a lullaby, coaxing them to eat and drink. The contented person, drowsy, just wants to indulge in this lingering tenderness.
