talk about wine

When the pole was collected, there were only four small fish in the bucket, which were obviously inedible, so Meng Chuxi and Zhou Nian'an discussed it and released them again.

"We returned empty-handed today?" Zhou Qingwu glanced at Meng Chuxi and said regretfully.

Meng Chuxi smiled slightly: "Shrimp is fine without fish. Remember the small river that goes down from the house? The water is not deep there, and the water and grass are luxuriant. There will be good things."

"Have any shrimp?" Zhou Nian'an was quite happy, and hurriedly said.

"That's right, let's go home and get the bamboo baskets and go take a look." The three of them collected their things and went back home.

It was a rare day of leisure, and I didn't care about the curious looks of the villagers looking at me with surprise, so I went down with my things.

After going down, Meng Chuxi rolled up his trouser legs and prepared to go down. Zhou Qingwu was a little nervous: "What if there are snakes in the legs?"

Meng Chuxi paused, took the basket and pressed it down to test a few times: "The water is not deep, and the bottom is still clean, it's fine."

The two stared at her, seeing that she went into the water, Bai Shengsheng's calf disappeared.Putting the basket into the water, Meng Chuxi took a few steps forward, pressing the basket with both hands and inserting the aquatic plants on the bank, then quickly shaking and pressing forward. After a while, she quickly lifted the basket, and the water leaked out of the basket. Except for a few broken stems of green aquatic plants, they are all transparent river prawns jumping in panic. There are quite a lot of them, and the crackling sound can tell that the harvest is quite good.

The prawns don't grow very big, so they are small in size, but it's very enjoyable to eat such a pile.The two exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, there are so many dried shrimps!"

Meng Chuxi turned around and said, "Here, go on."

Zhou Qingwu reached out to take it and poured it into the bucket, then watched Meng Chuxi do the same.The river is narrow and not deep, and the water is gentle and has accumulated a lot of nutrients, so the shrimp grows very well. After going back and forth a few times, I made half a bucket.

Seeing Meng Chuxi soaking in the river for a long time, Zhou Qingwu quickly reached out and said, "Enough, come up, the water is a bit cold."

Meng Chuxi smiled, took her hand and went ashore.

As soon as she landed, Zhou Qingwu squatted down and raised her head to signal her: "Help me so I don't fall." After that, she held Meng Chuxi's leg, took out the handkerchief in her arms, and wiped the water stains on her calf and feet clean.

While wiping, she said: "It's freezing cold, don't you know it's cold?" After finishing speaking, he covered her with his hand again. It was really cold just after getting up from the river, so her warm palm was very obvious, and Meng Chuxi couldn't help Laughed, her daughter-in-law is really nice.

Zhou Qingwu covered her feet, carefully put on her socks and shoes, and reminded her, "The other foot."

Meng Chuxi smiled and raised the other leg, Zhou Nian'an on the one side was very sad, Sister Chuxi is such a powerful person, now she is smirking, as if she can't take care of herself, being taken care of by Sister Qingwu so well, this makes others look at her and beat her to death It is impossible to believe.

In addition to the river prawns, there are many yellow clams here, which are small in size and only about the size of a thumb. They lie bright yellow in the yellow sand, and there are quite a few of them.Shake the river sand with a basket, and all the balls came out. Meng Chuxi collected two big handfuls, and said with a smile: "I'll go home tonight, and I'll fry shrimp for you. These yellow clams are used to cook tofu soup. They are very fresh. It's not worth using them like this." Returned empty-handed."

Zhou Qingwu scolded and rolled up her soaked sleeves for her: "You can't be more prudent, your sleeves get wet like a child, but it's not as good as Nian'an."

Meng Chuxi was unhappy, and muttered in a low voice, "I told you I'm only eight years old."

Zhou Qingwu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, Zhou Qingwu carried the basket, and Meng Chuxi walked back with the bucket rolled up by his sleeves.The sun was already westward, and the golden sunlight stretched the shadows of the three people obliquely, flickering with the steps.Wuwu ran at the forefront, darting and rolling around in the long bristlegrass, rolling out the belt that was toppled day by day.

Zhou Qingwu and Meng Chuxi were talking, Zhou Nian'an turned his head to look at the shadow, this scene made people feel beautiful.

After going back and putting away the things and saying goodbye to Aunt Liu, the family went home in a carriage. The sound of horseshoes and long shadows formed the most beautiful picture scroll at dusk.

When they got home, Zhou Qingwu raised the yellow clams and spit out the sand, then went to the vegetable garden near them to pick some fresh vegetables, and it was time to prepare dinner.

Zhou Nian'an helped pick the vegetables, Zhou Qingwu lit the fire, and Meng Chuxi, who is very proficient in food, is often the one who cooks.

Shredded ginger and minced garlic are all cut up for later use. The tofu bought in the morning is still soaking in the well water. It is best used to make soup.

The small river in Zhoujia Village has clean water. The prawns and yellow clams in this kind of river are not big, but the umami taste is incomparable to those river delicacies in later generations.

When the oil in the pot was hot and it was fried until it was fragrant, Meng Chuxi took out the drained prawns.Seeing this, Zhou Qingwu immediately took the lid of the pot and told her, "Stay farther away, so as not to splash you."

Meng Chuxi nodded, tilted his head and poured all the shrimps in, and with a snort, Zhou Qingwu quickly closed the lid with his hands, the pot was crackling and lively, and the fresh shrimps were jumping around desperately. When the movement stopped, he opened it and saw the aroma coming .

The transparent shrimps in the pot all turned red. Put the chopped chili into it, pour in the rice wine to remove the fishy smell, and keep stirring. The color is very attractive.

Although there are a lot of fish and shrimp in Qingyang Town, Zhou Qingwu has never eaten such a large shrimp twice. The deliciousness of the shrimp meat is better than that of the fish meat, and the taste is particularly unforgettable in memory.

The small shrimps in the river are usually not noticed at all, and no one goes back to catch them even if they have enough teeth. This is the first time fried shrimps.

Yellow clams are also wild products that no one eats, and there are more chickens and ducks without meat. In the evening, after Meng Chuxi stir-fries, add boiling water, put in tofu and simmer slowly, and the milky white soup bubbling in the pot looks delicious very.

In addition to the two river delicacies tossed today, Meng Chuxi also fried a plate of red amaranth. The red amaranth tasted a little sweet, and the red soup was very beautiful when poured on the rice. Zhou Nian'an liked it the most.

"Come on, try the shrimp I made, and have a bowl of soup."

He scooped up a spoonful of shrimp for the two of them, and Meng Chuxi scooped up a spoonful of it himself. He mixed it with rice and ate it in his mouth. The fresh river shrimp was completely different from the dried shrimp skin. The meat was so tender that it had a sweet taste. It's also very appetizing, and it's satisfying to eat with rice.

"Well, it's delicious. I've never eaten anything like this before." Zhou Nian'an couldn't eat enough before, but now she's sitting here with two such good sisters, eating a delicacy that she can't even imagine. Happiness makes her want to cry every time.

While eating, she said: "How can there be so many delicious food? I am so happy to be with Sister Chu Xi." In the imperial dining room, no matter how much ordinary people pay attention to food, it can't compare to the food ingredients that Meng Chuxi has accumulated in modern times.What's more, when it comes to ingredients and side dishes, Meng Chuxi is obviously much smarter.

Zhou Qingwu was also full of praise for his food, seeing Zhou Nian'an's appearance, he couldn't help laughing: "You have to get used to it, your sister Chuxi is like a treasure chest."

Meng Chuxi couldn't help being complacent: "Yeah, you don't know, don't you see that Sister Qingwu is so calm now, when we were just together, every time I made a new dish, her eyes lit up. At that time, she didn't know Talking, gesticulating very cutely, is better than thumbs saying I am."

Zhou Nian'an chuckled and said, "Okay, sister Chuxi, don't praise yourself and praise sister Qingwu, I really see it through today." After she finished speaking, she sighed, making Meng Chuxi laugh Haha laughed.

Zhou Qingwu blushed, but he couldn't stop laughing.

The meat quality of yellow clams is not as good as that of river prawns, but the soup is sweet and delicious. The tofu absorbs the soup and tastes good. You can eat a mouthful of tofu with a mouthful of soup. Coupled with the tenderness of red amaranth, dinner is very satisfying.

They all said that they were full of warmth and longing for lust, and at night, Meng Chuxi was still thinking about Zhou Qingwu's words during the day, hugged her and said with a low smile: "You said it, let's see whether it is called sister tonight, or... sister." The last three words were light and flattering, and Zhou Qingwu's legs were softened by exhaling hot air.

Then there is dry wood and fire, you come and I go.As for my sister's name, it doesn't matter whether she is called sister or not, the two of them spend the night together.

The peaceful days are not full of ups and downs. The lives of Meng Chuxi and Zhou Qingwu are no different from those of the common people in Qingyang Town. Even though their net worth has gone up and down, the three of them still guard the yard. Most of their basic necessities are self-contained. stable.

Qiu Wei passed away long ago, and Wan Qingyan sent a letter asking them to follow the plan.During the period, the two of them took Zhou Nian'an away for a while, saying they were going back to their husband's house, but in fact they just left to meet Wan Qingyan.

When they saw Wan Qingyan again, both of them were indescribably excited. With so much experience, the two of them realized how lucky it was to meet Wan Qingyan.

Wan Qingyan pulled Zhou Qingwu to look again and again, her expression was undisguised love: "This is taller again, taller than Sister Wan, and she has gained some flesh than before. It seems that Chu Xi has taken good care of you. good."

Meng Chuxi smiled slightly and looked at Zhou Qingwu.

Wan Qingyan let out a sigh of relief: "I was shocked when I received your letter asking for help. I had expected Chuxi to have a special background, but I didn't expect it to be the Meng family in Qingzhou."

"Sister Wan also knows about the Meng family?" Zhou Qingwu was a little surprised.

"That's natural. Although the Meng family is entrenched in Qingzhou, they have a good reputation in the two roads. My family's business is far away and they have cooperated with them. The old man of the Meng family is very stubborn and sophisticated. I was really anxious at the time, but it's okay. Then there was no danger."

Speaking of this, Meng Chuxi was full of gratitude in her heart, and she gave Wan Qingyan a deep gift: "Sister Wan, although I understand that you helped me because of your affection for Qingwu, but Chuxi really thanks you. Our relationship It's too shocking, and if people find out, you will be condemned verbally and in writing, and only you are willing to cover it up for us after you know it, and you have toiled thousands of miles several times."

Wan Qingyan's eyes were gentle: "What are you doing so far away? I'm glad I made the right choice at the beginning. When I saw Qingwu, I knew how happy she was. I also saw a lot of love between men and women. I couldn't bear to destroy my own self." Countless, you have made a decision under such pressure, and you have resisted the setbacks of your family background. I admire you very much and I am happy for you. Sometimes I feel comforted when I think of the gods and couples like you in this world. .”

However, Zhou Qingwu heard sourness from these words, and felt pain in his heart: "Sister Wan, is that person still like this?"

Wan Qingyan shook her head: "It's okay, he enjoys his own life, I have my own world, and now I don't have to be dragged by him, it's very good."

Meng Chuxi knew that Wan Qingyan's husband was not good enough, and she didn't know how to comfort her, so she just said seriously: "Sister Wan, please remember that you can run thousands of miles to help us, if you need it, no matter how high the mountains and the roads are in the capital, Qingwu and I I must go thousands of miles to rescue you."

Wan Qingyan looked at her for a long time, and finally laughed: "Okay, I will remember."

"When you go back this time, you can declare your husband to the outside world... Pfft" She couldn't help laughing before she finished speaking, "Murong sacrificed a lot this time, thinking about it makes my heart ache."

Meng Chuxi and the two also laughed: "Convey our gratitude and apology for us, it's hard for him not to mind such words, and help us lie."

"Fortunately, he changed his name and is far away in the capital. There is nothing wrong with him. I will deliver your thanks and apologies, as well as this gift. However, the name of the widow is not easy to carry. I am afraid that your current achievements will cause gossip. Quite a few."

"It's okay, it's nothing compared to our separation or this kind of relationship being leaked." Meng Chuxi was very calm. They have experienced so much along the way. Although this kind of reputation is not good, what does it matter.What's more, the mere excuse of observing the festival for the deceased husband can justifiably silence those who like to talk about matchmaking, killing two birds with one stone.

Three months later, the two returned home with Zhou Nian'an. The family was plain, and there was another turmoil in Qingyang Town. They lamented that the lives of the two were suffering, and the business was in full swing, but the husband died. That man is blessed.

Only the parties understand that this will be the best ending.
