Lu Sheng struggled for a few days and got angry. My throat was so sore that I couldn't speak. I also had several blisters in my mouth, and I couldn't eat much for several days.

Lu Yan: "I'm really impressed by you, you're so angry in the winter."

Lu Sheng: "You don't know anything at all."

Lu Sheng's hoarse voice sounded like a broken gong, and Lu Yan's face wrinkled when she heard it.

Lu Yan: "I feel like your tonsils are going to be inflamed."

Lu Sheng: "Who wants to speak?"

Lu Yan: "..."

Lu Yan was afraid that he would develop a fever due to inflammation, so she could only quickly think about what might cause the fever. Fortunately, there are still people selling pears now. Pears in the north are really frost-resistant.

When it comes to clearing fire and moisturizing dryness, Qiuli ointment is definitely the most effective. The method of boiling Qiuli paste is not difficult. First, peel the pears and cut them into small pieces, cut the dried red dates into small pieces, break the monk fruit into pieces, set aside the Sichuan clams, and the raw materials are ready.

Put the pears, red dates and Luo Han Guo pieces into the pot. Boil them over high heat without adding water. Boil the water out of the pears until they are all soft and rotten. Take them out and squeeze out all the soup with gauze. Pour the pear juice into the pot and simmer for about a quarter of an hour. Crush the Sichuan clams bought from the drug store, pour them into the pear juice, and continue to cook. The water will slowly dry out, and the pear juice will slowly turn from clear soup to thick. Use chopsticks to lift it up and add water. It will condense into lumps, and the Qiuli paste is ready.

Qiuli paste

Qiuli paste is actually quite delicious, but Lu Yan can't bear it. She drinks it every day. In addition to Qiuli paste, there is also endless boiled pear water. Lu Sheng has to run to the toilet several times a day, and has to get up in the middle of the night against the cold wind. People are already numb.

Lu Sheng: "Is there anything I don't need to drink?"

Lu Yan saw that Lu Sheng's throat was much better after drinking pear water for a few days, so she stopped embarrassing him and made an autumn pear cake with pears. Although Qiuli cake and Qiuli paste sound exactly the same, they are not the same thing at all.

Cut the pear into pieces and smash it, filter out the residue and leave only the pear juice. Pour the pear juice into the pot, add starch water, stir continuously until it becomes a thick paste, pour it into an oiled mold, and put it outside. calm down.

After it cools down, the paste will solidify into lumps. Unmold it, pour it out and cut it into small pieces. This is Qiuli Cake. It tastes elastic and smooth, with a light sweetness.

Autumn Pear Cake

Lu Sheng likes this kind of snack very much, it is much better than letting him drink pear water all the time. After frying the starch and wrapping it in a layer, the outer layer of the pear cake will become very dry. Lu Sheng packed a bunch of them in oil paper bags and took them to the county school, throwing one into his mouth from time to time.

Zhang Chang happened to be studying in the county today. Lu Sheng met him on the street and the two said hello with a fake smile.

Lu Sheng saluted: "Senior Brother Zhang."

Zhang Chang returned the salute: "Junior Brother Lu."

Lu Sheng took out the bag of snacks in a pretentious manner: "Oh, Senior Brother Zhang, it's not easy to meet you once in the county school. I heard that you are going home? Take two pieces and eat them before leaving. Lu Yan made them specially for me. You have to leave." I may not be able to eat anymore after eating it.”

Zhang Chang: "..."

The sweet autumn pear cake tastes unspeakably bitter in your mouth.

Lu Sheng was elated and satisfied.

Zhang Chang was not to be outdone: "Thank you, Junior Brother Lu. It's okay. I will come back after the year. I won't come to the county to study, but I still have a cooperative relationship with you, Mr. Lu, hahahaha!"

After saying that, he patted Lu Sheng on the shoulder and left.

Lu Sheng: "..."

While eating in the canteen at noon, everyone talked about Zhang Chang again.

"I heard that Senior Brother Zhang Chang is going home?" Xue Zhuoyuan asked Chu Tiankuo curiously. Here Chu Tiankuo is Zhang Chang's real classmate. They have always been in the same classroom, but their relationship is not that close. Chu Tiankuo has a better relationship with them.

Chu Tiankuo nodded: "He wanted to leave a long time ago. I thought he had to go back a few months ago. I don't know why he left now."

Lu Sheng snorted coldly, what else could it be because Lu Yanbei wanted to stay a little longer to see if he could deal with Lu Yan.

Xue Zhuoyuan sighed: "Is the general examination really difficult?"

Chu Tiankuo nodded: "It's definitely difficult, but it's not entirely because of the difficulty that he stopped reading. He mainly likes to walk around, and he can't sit still."

"Whether it is difficult or not is relative, and people have different feelings." Lu Sheng said, "Those who pass the exam find it not difficult, but those who fail find it difficult. You won't know if you don't take the exam."

Xue Zhuoyuan nodded: "Hey, actually I quite envy him. He knows what he wants to do. And Brother Zhou, he stopped reading if he said he didn't want to study. He just went to work for Shopkeeper Lu when he said he wanted to."

Lu Sheng also really admired Zhou Liang. He really didn't have the airs of a scholar at all, and he would do whatever he wanted when he got the chance. After all, Zhang Chang's business was his own. He just chatted with Lu Yan for an afternoon and then moved up to Zhuangzi with his wife and children. It was really amazing.

As we chatted, the topic turned to another direction: "Senior Brother Zhang, at your age, you should be forced by your family to get married when you go back."

"That's for sure." Lu Sheng was still a little gloating: "Studying is just like a cover. When you don't want to get married, you can just say wait until I take the exam again. If you don't study, the cover will be gone!"

"That's the truth." Xue Zhuoyuan agreed: "That's how I fooled my family."

"Why are you so resistant to getting married?" Song Bowen said he didn't understand: "I don't think there's anything wrong with getting married!"

"It's not that I resist getting married. The main reason is that it's hard to find someone who is right in my eyes." Xue Zhuoyuan nodded at Song Bowen and Chu Tiankuo: "Do you think it's so easy for you two? A childhood sweetheart knows everything, and a like-minded person falls in love at first sight."

That day I found out that Song Bowen and his fiancée's families were family friends. After growing up together, Xue Zhuoyuan almost died of pain.

Song Bowen sighed: "I don't have as many ideas as you. If my family asks me to study, I will study. If my family asks me to get married, I will get married. I think it's pretty good. If I am asked to choose what to do, I don't know what to do."

Lu Sheng thinks this is good. It's good to do what you want to do, or if you don't know what you want to do, just do what your family asks you to do. The worst thing is that what you want to do can't be done, and what you want to do is reluctant.

When they went back in the evening, they went to Yingniang's courtyard to feed the dog, and found that the situation had changed again.

Yinzi is really a good-tempered dog. After the big yellow dog came, he circled around him every day. It was as if he didn't see him and didn't even move.

Cats are not as emotionally stable as him. Little Sanhua is timid to begin with. After the big yellow dog came, Little Sanhua was afraid for a while and became a little stressed. Li Hua protects Xiao San Hua the most. Li Hua is a very brave cat, and the dog also wants to beat him. As soon as the big yellow dog stands up and moves, it will stand up and bend over to harass others, making it very awkward for both parties to get along. Finally, a peace boundary was created. The big yellow dog was eight feet away from Sanhua and Lihua, and detoured around each other.

The cow cat is still crazy. It has no concept of a dog in its mind. Every moving thing in the yard is its toy. Of course, every toy will hit it.

When the two of them left after feeding the cat and dog, Lu Sheng always felt a little strange and couldn't help but look back. Yinzi kept smiling stupidly. The big yellow dog seemed to be a lot fatter than last time and was less active.
