No Worries about Food and Medicine

When it comes to the twelfth lunar month, it is the year of the new year, and all parties must be lively, but the lively is the lively, but it is indiscriminate. If you make a mistake or make a mistake, you should be meticulously recorded in the book by Dixian and go to heaven to complain.

Laba Day is the first festival in the twelfth lunar month. On that day, Xin’an County woke up early, and there were white frost on the steps, and white flowers blossomed out of the nose and nose, even cats and dogs love to curl up. I couldn't get out of the stove, a cold world. Only someone who loved to go out early in the morning and walked around, met each other in the neighborhood and greeted each other with a white voice.

There was no sign of the wind, as if it was about to fall into the snow, and it hung rustling all night. Some people's windows were thin, and they even scratched a few holes.

Legend has it that there are evil spirits and evil spirits messing up, and there must be grains and red beans to suppress the evil spirits, so all the families have boiled seven treasures and five flavor porridge, and large and small temples outside the city have also set up large pot stoves, opening the temple door for exchange Believers distributed Laba Buddha porridge. The Daxia people believe in the gods and worship the Buddha. On the day of Laba, people should be more pious. Even the little-known small temples will occasionally come in with a few people to settle down and eat a bowl of good deeds. Congee, rebate a handful of five-flavored beans.

Today, on the outskirts of two cities in Xin'an County, in a ruined small Taoist temple, three or five long-distance travellers came to the ground. The crotch of the red horse, the golden jade bridle, and the hard iron horseshoe stepped into the Taoist temple. The former little garden. Guanli the old Taoist and the young Taoist ran out and saw a pit on the left and a pit on the left. Several small seedlings turned upside down. They were so dangerous that they raised their beards on the spot and raised their immortals. They patted their thighs and said: "The old man's vegetable garden Yo! My radish seedlings! My early oil winter! "

Behind this came another belated, the horse was black and oily, and the man above was wearing a sauto riding suit, dazzling red, and a cloak that was raised by the wind was wrapped around his shoulders. Annoying. The black horse raised his front hoof and hissed, and scared the Taoist young man to close his mouth in an instant, only to heartily groan his hard work and easily send out seedlings of radish cabbage, which called this group of dudes bad practice.

"Second Brother!" The younger brother who ruined the vegetable garden caressed the horse and shouted back, his voice leaping with joy that couldn't be concealed, "You are too slow! Look at my new horse, but it's really good, It ran faster than your baby blast, the second brother! "

The young man in red stopped slowly, frowning: "Don't get out yet. Brother Mao, dismounted to apologize to others." He looked up again, and he gently said to the old novel: "Brother reckless, ruined Mr. vegetable garden, I apologize to the two younger brothers first. As soon as the garden should be damaged, we will compensate. "

"Ah?" The other side collapsed his mouth, and then he noticed that the old and the young before Taoist Temple whispered, "This is a vegetable garden, I thought it was a weed ..." The second brother glared again. He just jumped off the horse and ran over honestly, saying "I'm sorry" sincerely.

The second elder brother in red got off the horse, and his own follower came up to tie the horse. He walked into the garden and took out a bag of silver beads. "The road is long, it snowed a little north, and a few of us came under the snow. Seeing that there is a Taoist temple here, I wanted to come in and avoid the cold. These vulgar things should be used as a garden to compensate the younger brother for the younger brother. "

This bag of silver beads Mo said that it was a loss to their vegetable garden, even if they renovated the Taoist temple, it would not be a problem.

Min Mao quickly shook his head and waved his back, fearing that his second brother would n’t wait to see him, and killed his horse to pay attention to the young and old man to eat meat: "Poetic and artistic, don't come to take Amber!"

Amber is the maroon BMW he has learned, the hair is red and shiny, this is a majestic horse, but the name is charming, this taste is more than the solemn blast of the two sons. There are hundreds of levels.

The two bosses, poetry and painting, unwillingly coaxed Amber out of the vegetable garden and tied it with the wind.

Xu was like a master. When Amber saw the blast, there was such an awe-inspiring and ruinous garden that collapsed the rack, chewing a bunch of weeds with his head down. On the other hand, his master, at this time, followed the young man in the Taoist temple like a dog, smiling with a smile of "two brothers, two brothers", the heart of the stubbornness was clearly revealed, and even the poetic and artistic expressions could not be looked down on.

The little one was ridiculed, but this "second brother" was a reasonable person. He spoke politely and gracefully. Although the old Taoist had a hundred reluctance to his destroyed vegetable garden, he couldn't really pick it out. The red man's mistakes came. After all, people apologized and the money was lost. It was really a shrewd act to hold on to it, which was detrimental to Taoism's reputation and had to greet people with a smile.

It was also the Lari day, so they used a small bowl to hold a bowl of Laba congee to drive them off.

The little priest held a few bowls on the food tray and gave them to the entourages who were guarding the outside. The poetry and painting were accustomed to Min Maoye. Seeing that the doll was only seven or eight years old, his hands and faces were all flesh. The buns were very cute, so they teased them and took out a few baubles bought on the way to make him laugh.

The view is very small, squeezing the Sanqing statues squeezed out, and the colors are all falling, and the colored clay on the face drops down. Min Mao, a man who is indulgent and has never suffered from financial hardship, naturally cannot look down on these discolored Sanqing statues, and he ca n’t even eat the black muddy porridge in the bowl, but he only dares to whisper in his heart, yes Don't dare to say it, because the second brother Minji Chongdao said, if he dare to make a rant to Sanqing Tianzun, he would be fined 300 times by the second brother on the spot.

Min Ji was incense, and then sat down to eat the bowl of Laba congee, which sold terribly badly. Min Mao vowed that the taste was absolutely terrible, and it was all boring, bitter, but his second brother had the ability to eat well for several weeks, even The brows were not wrinkled. Slowly, after finishing eating, he raised his head and asked, "Doctor, can there be an inn at the foot of this mountain? In addition, how much schedule is there to go to Xin'an County?"

Min Mao saw that he was finally talking about the topic and could not help but straighten his body and wait for his ears.

Lao Dao long said: "It's not too far to go to Xin'an County. I went down the mountain ahead and saw Cha Road to the right. I followed that road, and I arrived at Pantian Town in the evening, and walked out of Pantian Town for another three or two days. That ’s Xin’an County. If you have a horse, you can go faster. Today is Lari. Pantian Town can be lively. At this time, you can catch up with the temple fair of Laba Festival. ”

The little priest had enough poetry, and ran back happily, with a small porcelain whistle hanging around his neck, blowing a whine. He plunged his head into the knee of the old priest, pinching the whistle, pointing to the outside with joy. : "Master, look, it was replaced with Laba Porridge!"

The old Taoist saw that the porcelain whistle was very exquisite, and the pattern was baked on it, there were cherries and cherries, and the colors were bright and vivid. They are so poor that even the Laba porridge beans can be afforded by the Taoist view borrowed from the mountain. , And quickly reached out to discuss: "This is an adult's thing, how to get it around and return it to others."

The children are fun and naturally unwilling, Min Ji smiled in his eyes and said: "It's okay, even if they gave it, they will accept it as a gadget, and it's not worth a few dollars." The former Pantian Town settled down.

"Hey, thank you guys!" The old Taoist sent them out thanksgivingly.

As soon as he got on the horse, Min Mao suddenly screamed, as if he had rubbed where he was.

Min Ji asked: "What's wrong?"

Min Mao raised his paws to show Min Ji, with a frowning face, said: "This way is light, nothing is brought on the body, and I don't take a good rest to bathe. My hand was frozen and brittle before I pulled the reins and was stabbed hard. It broke open directly! It's going to be overwhelmed by winter, and it will hurt to death! "

The old Taoist prince said, "There is no hurry, I heard that there is a little doctor in Xin'an County. These children find him most useful for incurable diseases! The wife of Mrs. Xin'an in the previous county's wife, I heard that The children are gone, let him be rescued, and can live to death! Splitting a hand is nothing. "

Min Mao loves to listen to these rare things. He is busy and asks: "There are such strange people, where is he?"

The old Taoist said: "After entering the city, Yu Xiaobo, a bowl of noodle restaurant in West Street Market, is."

Min Mao was even more interested: "This is really amazing, we are going to a bowl of noodle restaurants to find people! As you know--"

"Let's go." Before the words were finished, Min Ji waved the reins next to him and rode away. Min Mao hurriedly closed his voice, caught his horse's belly with his legs, and chased after him, "How come I ran so fast! Don't wait for me? Oops, brother ..."

They are also flying on the road.

At this time, a bowl of noodle restaurant chefs were also busy, and the Laba congee on the stove was boiled last night. On the first day, Yu Jinnian used a dozen pots such as dried lotus seeds, chestnut kernels, walnut kernels, pine nuts, and almonds. , As well as peanuts, red beans, longan seeds, raisins and red dates, as well as other three or two pieces of beans, all washed by hand, one by one peeled off the skin, tearing the coat, dry goods with a little clear water After soaking, the longan and red dates were cut open and pryed away, and they were cooked with fragrant white rice at night.

There are treasures in Laba porridge. Needless to say, spleen and stomach can be nourished. All kinds of nuts that nourish the kidneys and lungs, as well as beans and blood, have the benefits of promoting digestion and peristalsis for the gastrointestinal tract.

The lid was lifted today, the aroma is strong, the rice grains are all blooming, and the dried legumes still look round, but when they are crushed with a dipper, they instantly become porridge mud and eat in the mouth. It's soft, because the raisins and big red dates that come from the top of Xilai, the porridge itself has a slight sweet taste, so there is no need to add sugar cubes to add snakes.

A thick and thick cauldron, with the light aroma of all kinds of nuts, Rao is a meat-eating Xiao Dingdang. I can't help but want to probe into the real look.

Yu Jinnian hurriedly took away the cat ’s claws and scolded Xiao Ding-Dong, and stuffed it into Duan Ming ’s arms, who came to deliver the plate, and told him to hold the cat a little further. It also exerts its residual heat to be a useful beckoning cat.

Today, every household has made Laba Congee, but the ingredients of each house are different, but it is as distressed as a bowl of noodles. It put more than ten flavors into the porridge in one breath, but it is really the first in the city. Moreover, this Laba congee can also be used to eat, sell, and sell in the past, but only today, it is mostly used to give gifts to neighbors, and it is intended to be safe and auspicious.

Therefore, the Laba Congee, a bowl of noodle restaurants with a complete set of Qibao and Wuwei, appears extravagant in Xin'an County in the cold winter months. Such arrogance, even the Spring Breeze House on Baihua Street, is slightly inferior-of course, the Spring Breeze House at this time The little master has no intention to compare with him.

The previously marinated green duck eggs were also fine. Yu Jinnian opened the jar of pickled duck eggs, took out a batch of eggs, washed them and cooked them, or sold them in pieces or portions, and sold them in front. It was also a pleasure to eat with porridge.

The grains are fragrant. Many people walking through a bowl of noodle restaurants are attracted by the smell of porridge from the shop. I heard that Nalaba porridge is not only sold, so I sat down and ordered a cheap side dish to tie this bite. Qibao five-flavor porridge soup as a gift. This porridge is thick and thick, sweet and fragrant and sticky. It can hold three bites from other stores. The bowl of porridge is large. It is really unbelievable. Of course, the most important thing is free. Only this one, let this bowl The taste of porridge has doubled.

Yu Jinnian was naturally not a stupid big man. He did n’t open a temple for Taoism. He loved to make porridge, but this year he earned a lot of money, and the medical Daoist also took a step forward and turned to Ji Hong. This style of Huameiren Township Store ... He is an easy-to-satisfied person, and this life is very nourishing for him now. As the saying goes, Du Lele is not as good as Zhong Lele, he is happy in his heart, and of course he is willing to give back to support his business. Diners.

So today, all guests who come to a bowl of noodle restaurants will receive a free bowl of luxurious Laba congee. Moreover, the neighbors around the neighborhood have also received a bowl of Laba auspicious porridge sent by the noodle restaurant to do personal exchanges.

In short, just be happy.

The boss Yu Xiao was very happy, and everyone else in the store was also brisk, and the dishes in the hall were all added to their strength. They are so generous, and others will naturally not forget their goodness. Soon there will be an echo, the left part of the five-grain porridge, the right part of the seven treasure soup, the snack box piles up a bowl of noodles and the kitchen is full of dang, fearing that they will have to eat porridge for a whole day today, but also Some have sent **** head.

Yu Jinnian had n’t seen it before, he bit one, it was similar to dumplings, but the shape was not the same, the dumplings were like ears, and the head of the **** was round and pinched with a sharp tip. It's really like the spiky mouth of a queer. The filling is ordinary, such as radish cabbage, walnut tofu and the like. Qinghuan talked to him, and he realized that this is also a small thing to be auspicious in Lari. After eating it, Qiaoer will not eat the food in the field next year.

The diners in the shop said that there were dancing Nuo operas in the north of the city this afternoon, and the Fangshi on the east and west streets were also opened. There are countless new goods coming in and out of the city because there are too many cold places this year. The fur coats came and sold fur coats made of mink fur, fox fur, and rabbit skin. The surrounding villages and towns also gathered to join in the fun.

Yu Jinnian listened to the excitement and was so excited that he happened to be doing New Year's goods. In the afternoon, Qinghuan took their leave and went wherever they liked. Anyway, by the end of the year, he did not have a strong sense of utilitarianism in money. When he returned to the room and counted his remaining private room money, he suddenly became more conscious and thought, even if there were half a month left, they would not do business. It's enough for them to eat wildly.

Well, there is a kind of thinking of eating salted fish waiting to die.

In a bowl of noodle restaurants, everyone gathered to eat Laba congee and split the five-flavored beans.

After eating, Qinghuan and Duan Ming took Sui Sui to go out to spread their love first. The two big and one small, Qing Huan took Sui Sui to look around and looked around, it was no good, Duan Ming was woody and ashamed It looks like I want to rely on Qinghuan to get closer, but is afraid of being discovered. It looks like a newly married couple. Yu Xianyu paralyzed the last batch of diners in the store and waited for Er Niang to fall asleep after taking the medicine before closing the store and going out with Ji Hong to go shopping and buy new year's goods.

This place is not like the previous life, the merchants of the previous life are busy working, even if they can buy things on New Year's Eve. Everything is slow here, the whole time is lengthened and slowed down, the day's things can't be broken apart and crumpled and meticulously done. If you ca n’t keep your calendar, you can stay at home because everything is unsuitable. At the holiday season, it closed early and closed happily. The bustle was still bustling, but it had to be bustling in its own home, bustling between the streets where it was going out, and bustling in the chirping mouths of children.

Although Yu Jinnian was adopted by his adoptive father while he was still in his babyhood, he was afraid that loneliness seemed to be a natural instinct. No one accompanied him, although it wouldn't make a big noise in Tiangong, but he was still afraid of loneliness. So the New Year is his most anticipated time. Only at this time, adoptive father Yu Heng will spend a few days exclusively to accompany him, and he will also seriously prepare for a prosperous and lively year.

Today, a bowl of noodle restaurants is cheerful every day, but Yu Jinnian ’s expectations for the festival have not decreased, and he still seriously wants to make every detail and live a happy year for everyone. He used his fingers to figure out what he was going to buy. There was no shortage of rice noodles at home, and there was a large ham. He also bought some bacon and marinated eggs. It is necessary to prepare some artillery battles, etc. In addition, the pen and ink are also lacking.

Along the way, he didn't hear much about what Ji Hong said to him. He only counted himself with his head down, almost hit the other's stall, but Ji Hong pulled him a little and didn't call him and others. The chickens in the cage fought.

Yu Jinnian was embarrassed, so he quickly took out a bag of evil spirits beans from the basket to the chicken vendor. The raw materials of the beans are similar to Laba congee. They are fried in salt in five kinds of beans and placed in a bag basket. Give each other in the day, throw the food you love in your mouth, chew it crunchy, and wear the evil clothing to ward off evil spirits.

But not everyone is wearing Wuwei beans. It happened that this chicken vendor came from the village. When he walked early, he forgot to bring beans. The chicken vendor did n’t remember his hatred. He was happy when he received Yu Jinnian ’s Wuwei beans. Although he did not bring fried beans, he directly gave the teenager an egg. When Yu Jinnian saw her grandma selling dried fruits next to her, she also gave her a packet. She smiled and gave Yu Jinnian a packet of fried salted soybeans.

Saying that these villagers are enthusiastic or simple, anyway, Yu Jinnian is quite happy. He walked all the way and gave it away. Before long, the schisandra beans in the basket were all sent out, but he received various small gifts from him. Although it is not valuable, it is everyone's intention. After such a lap, it seems that everyone in the whole market knows him and will greet him when he walks over.

Ji Hong followed him as a basket ambassador, but he smiled helplessly: "You really are ..."

"Huh?" Yu Jinnian looked back at him and smiled, with a sugar rod held in his mouth by the uncle who sold sugar. He held the sugar rod with his white teeth, and his eyes were curved.

Ji Hong throbbed in his heart, but he couldn't be intimate with him, he could only get close, holding each other's hands in his wide sleeves. His hands were cold, and the young man's hands were hot. The two men's temperatures were melted together. They were so tired that they were indistinguishable from each other. The surroundings were noisy. Ji Hong lowered his head slightly, rubbing Yu Jinnian's palms with his fingertips, and suddenly pinched: "People can't put it down."

Yu Jinnian proudly said: "Then you don't want to let go."

The two of you came and fought with me, and I almost came home now and couldn't put it down. When this box looked up, I saw a person I hadn't seen in a long time. The other party seemed to be picking out new products. The little man behind him had already mentioned two A piece of bacon.

The man saw them too, so he walked away from the crowd and smiled stiffly with his lips: "Ji Gongzi, boss Yu."

Yu Jinnian said: "Senior Yan, I haven't seen you for a long time. I haven't congratulated Miss Wu for getting married."

Yan Rong did not seem to be happy, but suddenly said: "After the New Year, I will return to Beijing."

"Really," Yu Jinnian said with a smile, trying to be as reasonable as possible. After all, the opposite schoolmaster, Mr. Lang, who was a polite and honest person, "I wish Lord Yan all the best in advance."

Yan Rong seemed very unhappy, like a little kid who did n’t hear what he wanted to hear, and did n’t want the candy he wanted, his eyebrows twitched, just like he was in the spring breeze, and met for the first time after that screen. It was twisted like that, but the anger was slightly reduced in his eyes, and it didn't look so ugly at the time. But the annoying people will not be liked because they suddenly become better-looking, and those words that scold him will not be suddenly eliminated by pushing the cup for a few times.

Yu Yanrong said that Yu Jinnian did all the duties that a doctor and a cook should do, and even did a lot of extra things. He asked himself for his conscience. What's more, no one is a child at the scene, and Yu Jinnian is not obliged to please him. That's why he still likes what you like to say and I don't like to hear: "Master Yan has something to say?"

"..." Yan Rong seemed to choke, and his throat rolled, as if he had swallowed back what he was about to say, only staring at Yu Jinnian for a moment, suddenly rolled his eyes again, and shook his sleeves, "Nothing to say." . I wish you all the best along the way, I wish the two dragons and phoenixes auspicious, the husband and wife sing, and the mandarin ducks compare wings, hoping that the two will have a son early! "

Well, the words are ironic.

But let ’s just start with mutual disgust, and then say goodbye to each other, corresponding to the first and the last, reducing a lot of unnecessary resignation and hypocrisy. I do n’t see you, and you do n’t need to see me. What ’s wrong, it ’s too much All right.

Yu Jinnian rummaged through the basket, and finally picked out a packet of leftover beans from the corner. Because it was pressed under many things, he felt like it was broken inside. He didn't care about that many, and reached out to Yan Rong: "Anyway, it's Lari, and since it's an acquaintance when you see it, this is for you."

Yan Rong took it, squeezed it under his fingers, and the beans were indeed broken. He held the bag of broken beans for a long while, and then he remembered to grope, and looked back at the things that the two little men raised. There are no large-scale new year's goods.

Yu Jinnian watched him come and go, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I don't want your rebate anymore. I hope you see me next time and curse me less."

Yan Rong seemed to have eaten Huanglian, and the twist of his eyebrows twisted for a long time before spreading out, and said fiercely: "Remember, I will definitely return you next time!"

"..." Yu Jinnian turned his head to see that he led the two little fellows to walk quickly without the shadow, wondering, "This man is not strange, I saw him embarrassed to give me nothing, kindly relieved and said no, he gave birth again What's mad? It's like a steamed bun all day long, and gets old fast! "

Ji Hong said with a smile: "Who knows, I feel ashamed of you."

Yu Jinnian looked at him with his head tilted, whispering: "Every time I meet, he scolds me, what kind of face does he have?"

"You are also good-tempered." Ji Hong embraced his waist, "Okay, let's go."

The two turned around two or three markets, and their feet were a little bit painful. They also went to Beicheng to watch the Nuo opera of drumming and drumming. Some people are selling ice at this time. At this time, Xin'an County is cold and cold, and the frost has three or two layers, but thick ice has not yet formed, and the river is only a thin layer of ice at night. To mean, these ice yomo is also made of saltpeter.

But the people who buy it are still in an endless stream, because the ice made today is called Laba Bing. It is said that if you eat the ice from Lari, you wo n’t get sick and you do n’t know where it came from.

But this brother who sells ice is a smart man. He sells it with an old man selling sweet congee next to it. The old man doesn't know whether it's because his taste is weak or his hands are shaking. The porridge is so sweet, but if it's The old man's sweet porridge was paired with his Laba Bing, but it became a ice drink. Like the red bean ice in summer, it was sweet and cool.

Yu Jinnian also joined in a lively bowl and took a copy while walking back. It ’s a chilly day to eat ice drink, and people who eat teeth are grinning and ca n’t say it ’s enjoyment, but there is an inexplicable stimulus, like to have to face God, trembling and refreshing, Ji Hong asked him directly. Why bother". He didn't understand Yu Jinnian's coolness. Yu Jinnian contained a small piece of ice, and while he hadn't melted it between his teeth, he closed his slightly opened lips on the tiptoe.

Ice melted on Ji Hong's tongue, a needle stuck like a needle, and he was frozen with a spirit. Yu Jinnian only smiled, and was dragged by a man in a wrong position, and was picked up between the lips. The cold inside seemed to break into a cold cellar, but it soon became hot.

I haven't put it down yet.

The bowl of ice-cured porridge was turned into water because they grinded and rubbed together. Yu Jinnian adhered to the principle of porridge he bought and had to finish his knees. When he arrived in front of his shop, he finally barely drank the last bite of sweet porridge water and spit out his tongue.

At this time, it was already dark, and the shop door was still closed. It seemed that Qinghuan hadn't returned, and they didn't know where to go to play. I heard that there was another temple fair outside the city.

There was no more people in the darkness around, and Yu Jinnian began to move his hands, sticking the beanbags around Ji Hong and pouting with his head up: "Come one, just smell one."

"Someone." Ji Hong said helplessly.

Yu Jinnian did not spare him: "I have seen wherever it is."

Ji Hong: "Really there, look back, under your feet."

Yu Jinnian turned around suspiciously. Under the shadow of the shop floor and the black shadow, a pair of cat-like eyes lit up, staring straight at them, the thing was a small ball, shrinking into a ball, only the neck The head on the top is round and round. He was taken aback, walked over to take a closer look, and was taken aback again: "Master Jiang Xiao? Why are you squatting here?"

Jiang Bingren sniffed his nose a few times, and suddenly opened his mouth, "Wow-" howling out.

Well, I just left a steamed bun and a crying bun.
