Siheyuan: I am Du Shouyi

Chapter 63 Three Stores

Xu Damao left the courtyard and went back to his parents' house. This time he also told about his move.

Xu's father and Xu's mother suddenly realized after hearing what he said, it turned out to be such a thing!Then it's no wonder people turned their faces, my son almost did something stupid? !
People in Kyoto are superstitious about Feng Shui.Which Siheyuan in Siheyuan was not built according to Fengshui?It doesn't matter if you don't understand it yourself, can someone give advice?
Du Shouyi could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with Xu Damao, which was worse than an X-ray machine.If this is not an expert, who is it?
The old couple thought again, Gong Xiaobei, Lou Xiaoe, Ran Qiuye, which one is not a phoenix standing tall on a branch?Du Shouyi was right!These phoenixes fall into a nest, indicating that the courtyard house is about to rise!Do not believe that the expert is guilty!

For a while, the shadow brought by Xu Damao's illness to the family also faded a lot.The doctor gave the medicine, and Du Shouyi also gave the folk prescription. How about a cure? !Anyway, he is still young, maybe it will be good if he raises it for two years?But this 'Land of Longxing' must not be missed
After fooling Xu Damao, Du Shouyi went to the backyard to spend a National Day with the deaf grandma.Shougui went back to school early, Xiaobei was working overtime, and the elder and mother were not there, so the two of them had lunch at noon.

Du Shouyi saw that the room was deserted, so he took Xiao Dang over.There is no need to give shark's fin, a piece of egg-filled pancake can fill the little girl up.

Seeing Du Shouyi and Xiao Dang playing there, the deaf grandma smiled and said, "Children are so rare, let's have one with Xiaobei earlier."

"We have to wait for several years, don't worry. However, there is Sophora japonica behind Xiaodang, and He Yuzhu's child is behind Sophora japonica, which is enough for us to be lively for several years. Hehe, I'm afraid you will be too noisy when the time comes."

"Hehe, it's so lively, grandma, I'm so happy, maybe I can live for two more years."

"My wife is as blessed as the East China Sea, and her life is longer than that of Nanshan." Xiao Dang immediately used the auspicious words he learned from Du Shouyi.

The deaf grandma was overjoyed when she heard it, and immediately rewarded Xiaodang with a piece of roasted lamb chops.

'Roasted lamb' is a traditional Halal method, first stewed and then fried, it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

I don't know how long the roasted mutton of 'Bai Kui Lao Hao' needs to be simmered.But among Xi'an's famous halal dishes, there is also a 'roasted lamb chop' made exactly the same.Chunks of lamb chops are simmered in a sauce broth for six hours.Then bone it, fry it, and cut it.

That's right, no more, no less than six hours, it's that long.

Judging from the mutton of the Baikuilao, the stewing time may be slightly shorter, but it will not be less than three or four hours.All in all, this dish is effortless, but time consuming.

In later generations, the well-known "Formosa Steak" also adopted a similar method, but it was fried instead of grilled, and it was also very delicious.These are all off-topic and far-fetched.

Gong Xiaobei didn't come back until three or four in the afternoon, and she was exhausted from the day.But she didn't complain when she was so tired, instead she was very happy to see her expression.

This is the case in this era. Working overtime or voluntary labor is a very honorable and even happy thing.Du Shouyi himself developed this habit unknowingly.There was a cleaning lady in the street who was cleaning mosquitoes and so on. As long as Aunt Wang shouted in the alley, he would always run ahead.At this time, it is not shameful for the old, weak, sick and disabled to stay at home.

Voluntary labor has changed a bit in later generations.But this is the mainstream of this era, one of the best parts, and Du Shouyi cherishes it very much.

After finishing his work at night, Du Shouyi took a bottle of Moutai and a piece of 'one piece of firewood' and slowly tasted it.

Gong Xiaobei came out of the shower, saw his leisurely appearance and smiled, "What's the happy event today? You're so interested?"

Du Shouyi had already drank a little, and he couldn't help but patted the table and sang:

"Come to the intersection of the street,

Respect, all guests and friends, listen to the head
It’s not just horse thieves or bandits

"

This is a piece of Peking Opera "Three Stores".This piece belongs to the "Shanghai Style" aria, which was borrowed by Mr. Ma Changli. It has just become popular in Kyoto in the past two years.

This is also a piece of Beijing opera that Du Shouyi left a deep impression on in his previous life. The singing is smooth and gorgeous, and it is very listenable.After physical transformation in this life, his voice and breath are ready. After a period of practice, he has already sung well.

After he finished singing, there were a few applause from outside the small courtyard wall, the uncle and the others were all sitting in the courtyard, listening to the whole part of the play.

Du Shouyi spread his hands towards Gong Xiaobei, and said in a low voice, "It's been taken advantage of by others. My scene is worth a few cents. Do you think I should ask them for it?"

The two were chatting and laughing, and the second uncle Liu Haizhong, who was enjoying the cool, also had an addiction to drama, came to a segment of "Missing the Sky", and responded from the air.The night of the [-] National Day in the small courtyard became lively.The atmosphere of the entire courtyard is slowly changing.
In the twinkling of an eye, more than a week has passed since the National Day. During this period, Du Shouyi signed up for the fried liver from 'Huixianju', the mutton shabu-shabu from 'Donglaishun' and so on.In Miscellaneous, he signed five 'Palace Carpets'.

The carpet handicraft industry in Kyoto started from the Yuan Dynasty.At that time, the Mongols brought the custom of laying carpets in tents to Kyoto.

Since the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the carpet industry has developed rapidly, and there is a saying in the Qing Palace that "the land cannot be seen".To put it simply, it is to lay all the floor in the house that can be paved, and don't let the emperor see the floor tiles.

When the export of Persian carpets was blocked, it was China's "palace carpet" that filled the global demand.It can be seen that the production scale was prosperous and the quality was high at that time.

The carpet is very fancy, but since it is rewarded by the system, there is absolutely no problem.Du Shouyi prepared to make bunk beds for Gong Xiaobei and the deaf grandma when it got colder.How comfortable is it to step on soft and warm?

It was the morning of October [-]th.

"Ding, the host's reward for signing in today is RMB 2000."

'But wait! Du Shouyi heaved a long sigh of relief. He had been waiting for the money for more than a month.

Before leaving, Jin Wenshun left the names of three people for him, saying that these people might have some good things at home.But there was no money in his pocket, so how could Du Shouyi find them?

Speaking of Jin Wenshun reminded Du Shouyi of the small courtyard. He hadn't been there for a while, and he didn't know if Huahenji had bought any good things.

During the lunch break, Du Shouyi and Gong Xiaobei went straight to the small courtyard after talking.When he just opened the courtyard door, he saw an old man in ragged clothes curled up in a corner of the courtyard, which shocked him.

Three people wearing red armbands came running from a distance, and asked as they walked, "Where are you? Did you see it just now?"

Du Shouyi didn't understand what was going on, but when he saw the old man's begging eyes, he subconsciously closed the courtyard door with his backhand.

After a while, when the footsteps in the alley were far away, Du Shouyi lowered his voice and asked, "What's going on?"

"A lot of people were arrested in Daliu Hutong." The old man said in shock.

Daliu Hutong is right there in the black market.When Du Shouyi heard this, he thought to himself: Here we come, the '7 people' day' is finally here.

The old man probably knew Jin Wenshun, he looked Du Shouyi up and down and said, "Are you from Lord Jin Belle?"

Du Shouyi was also looking at him, always feeling a little strange.

After a while he finally reacted.The old man was a bit scruffy, but his lips and chin were clean and he didn't have a beard.

'Isn't it a husband? Du Shouyi was a little suspicious.

People in Kyoto refer to eunuchs as 'husbands'. Unexpectedly, all married men will become 'husbands' after the opening, which shows how sad marriage is for men.
'Husband' was obviously used to being seen by others, and he didn't feel any embarrassment when he stood hunched over the wall.

This man obviously knew Jin Wenshun, so Du Shouyi said casually, "I'm looking at the house for him, what's your name?"

"Don't dare, don't dare, my surname is Li.".
