Wulong Inn

Silver silk rolls are similar in appearance to steamed buns, but the inside is quite different.Under the thin layer of outer skin, there is a dragon whisker-like silver thread wrapped. This "silver thread" is very thin noodles made by pulling and kneading a few times with the method of making ramen noodles after proofing. Silk.After the noodles are ready, they are wrapped into noodles, shaped, steamed in a drawer, and the silver silk rolls are white in color, soft and sweet in the mouth.

Because only a little skill is used in making noodles, the method is very simple. Back then, Gao Fei learned its method out of interest, and this became the only delicate pastry that Gao Fei knew how to make.

That day when Yue Luansheng was clamoring for food, Gao Fei looked at the piles of flour in the hut, and thought of this filling and delicious little thing.I wanted to let my family try something new, but who would have thought that it would lead to a big trouble.It's not that the aunts and nephews had any doubts about his sudden ability to make pasta. Now, the elder and younger members of the Yue family have regarded Gao Fei as a chef, so they "accidentally came up with this kind of pasta" for him. Point of system' rhetoric convinced.

Where is the trouble?It turned out that Goofy had far underestimated the appeal of sweets to women and children.Since eating it at noon that day, under the strong request of the aunt and nephew, this sweet and delicious snack has become a must-have staple food for lunch in Goofy's cabin every day.But no matter how delicious something is, it will get boring after a long time, not to mention that Gao Fei himself doesn't like sweets very much.Slightly frowning, he swallowed the somewhat sweet and greasy silver silk roll, looking at the incomparably sweet big and small eating at the table, Gao Fei felt aggrieved as if he was digging his own grave.Looking at the piles of flour that he didn't know when he would be able to finish it, he thought sadly, when will it be big?

Gao Fei's life these past few days has been relatively boring, except for reading books every day, learning about some customs of the Kaiyuan Kingdom, and reviewing some textbooks related to the Tongsheng Examination; it was when Yue Qinlian came to him to make a network It's time to play with Luaner.It is worth mentioning that Gao Fei finally got to know the way to Xiyuan while playing hide-and-seek with Luaner.

Ordinarily, although such a day is a bit dull, it is comfortable enough.But Gao Fei didn't feel complacent. He always had a strong sense of urgency in his heart, just because the big boy who came here on time every day reminded him all the time that he didn't earn this kind of life by himself. It was given by others, and the two family members were obviously not used to such alms.Therefore, under Gao Fei's calm face is an extremely eager heart to change the status quo.

Now the most straightforward way for Gao Fei is to keep studying and pass the exam all the way.Although being a scholar or a master may not improve the financial situation of the family too much, Gao Fei has a voice in his heart that tells him with absolute certainty that once this path is cleared, he and his family will be able to gain the wealth of others. respect.

Now it is the end of May, and in a blink of an eye, it will be the day of the hospital exam in July.As the exam period approached, Gao Fei felt that the pressure was increasing day by day, and with the pressure came a little bit of anxiety.After all, he hadn't touched a book or taken an exam in the past ten years, and this time, it was an ancient imperial examination that he didn't know the depth of. He couldn't help being nervous.Thinking about what Master Luo told him to study in the Luo Clan, he is now very much looking forward to the so-called 'Festival of Sacrifice' passing quickly so that he can enter the school. to review.

What is 'Adha'?Because Master Luo had mentioned this festival, Younger Sister Yue had mentioned it, and even Yue Luansheng had mentioned it, so while reading some miscellaneous books on folklore, Gao Fei checked the records about the Sacrifice Festival with some curiosity.It turns out that this "Saturday Festival" is just a local name of Cangzhou people, and its official name is "Summer Festival", which lasts for nine days.

There are two festivals in winter and summer in Kaiyuan State. The "Winter Festival" is similar to New Year's Day.However, the Summer Festival is different. It worships some natural gods such as heaven, earth, mountains and rivers, and emphasizes the joy of all people.During the festival, in addition to the unique sacrificial activities, there will also be many folk performances. At that time, all the villagers in the four miles and eight townships will gather in the county capitals and other places to watch the performances.Unlike the winter festival where the shops are closed and every family stays at home, this summer festival is extremely lively.

Nature worship has a long history in the Kaiyuan Kingdom, and the prevalence of Taoism has further strengthened this worship, so this "summer festival" is more important than the winter festival.However, what is said in the book is too general, and it is impossible to understand how lively and high-flying the festival will be.Unable to imagine it, Gao Fei simply threw it away. Anyway, the festival is coming soon, and he will see it when the time comes.

——————————————————————————————————

After Gao Fei swallowed the third piece of silver silk roll with a bitter face, the aunt and nephew also finished their meal.Originally, the child Yue Luansheng looked at the few pieces of silver silk rolls left on the plate and still felt a little unsatisfied, but Gao Fei was afraid that he would hold on, so he refused to let him eat any more.

After patrolling the room for a while, Gao Fei put the porcelain plate containing the silver silk roll on the higher window sill, and said to the little guy who was looking at him dissatisfiedly: "If Luaner is disobedient. I don't have anything to eat at noon." The little guy finally stopped thinking.Seeing Luan'er's dejected look, Yue Xiaomei stroked his head affectionately, and said softly: "Luan'er must be obedient, only obedient children have good food."

Seeing Luan'er nodding obediently, Yue Xiaomei turned her head to Gao Fei who was beside her and said in a harmonious voice: "Then I will trouble brother today, so I will go first." The netting was neatly arranged, put into a small cloth bag, then turned out of the hut and left.

Looking at Yue Xiaomei's leaving back, Gao Fei frowned with some doubts.The behavior of Yue Xiaomei these days is a bit weird. In the morning, she brought Luan'er to work in his hut, but in the afternoon she left Luan'er with him. She didn't know what to do, and she came here a little tired at night. Take Luaner.After going on like this for a few days, Gao Fei felt that something was wrong, but every time he asked, Yue Xiaomei always laughed and didn't answer, and it was the same today.

This repeated day by day, with the increase of doubts, Gao Fei also felt a little inexplicable worry, looked at the happy Luaner who was playing with his fingers, and Gao Fei made a decision after a little deliberation , walked to his son, Gao Fei squatted down and said to the little guy: "Luaner, Daddy go out for a while, can you take a look at the house for a while?"

"Where is Daddy going? Can't Luan'er go?" the little guy asked suspiciously.

Hearing the words, Gao Fei paused, and said to himself, "It's fine to bring the little ones with you." But then he thought, "If Yue Xiaomei suffers some kind of grievance, it would be bad if Luan'er bumped into her." Then he said: "Daddy will be back in a while." Luan'er stay at home obediently, I will let you eat an extra silver roll tomorrow, okay?" The little guy lowered his head and thought for a while, raised his eyes and stretched out two fingers to Gao Fei, and said firmly: "Two!" Gao Fei Fei nodded helplessly, and the negotiation was considered complete.

Looking at the cheerful little guy, Gao Fei smiled wryly, "This kid is getting better at bargaining." Before leaving, Gao Fei worriedly told a bunch of precautions, and finally, after the little guy showed an impatient expression, Then he closed the door and went after Yue Xiaomei.The road to Xiyuan is relatively tortuous, but he didn't expect Miss Yue to go far.Finally, Gao Fei, who was trotting all the way, fell into Yue Xiaomei at the exit of Xiyuan.

Hiding in the dark, Gao Fei looked at Yue Xiaomei from a distance, and saw her standing still in the open space between Xiyuan and the inner courtyard of Luo's house, looking towards the corner leading to Luo's inner courtyard, as if she was waiting for something people.After a while, a bright yellow figure flashed from that corner, it was sister Shuyao!She was holding a small bag in her hand, and when she saw Yue Xiaomei, she cheered and ran over!Yue Xiaomei also greeted her with a smile, the two exchanged a few words, and then walked towards the small corner door leading to the outside.

This is to go outside?Looking at the backs of the two little girls, Gao Fei was full of doubts and wanted to follow, but suddenly he saw a figure flashing beside him, and when he looked closely, it was Luo Shuyu.At this moment, Luo Shuyu also saw Gao Fei, and the two made a silent gesture to each other, and then glanced at each other tacitly, then fell behind the two little girls who were going away in tacit understanding... …

——————————I am the dividing line that turns back to Goofy Cabin—————————————

Yue Luansheng was sitting alone in the room, looking boredly at the scenery he had seen countless times outside through the window, and then at the closed door, thinking sullenly in his heart, "Daddy has been out for a long time, Didn't you say you'll be back in a while?"

A few strands of warm air slowly blow into the room, carrying the sweet smell of silver coils.Yue Luansheng sniffed unconsciously, and finally, as if he had made up his mind, he quickly jumped off the wooden chair, ran to the wooden door, and looked outside through the thin crack on the door.After confirming that there was no sign of his father, Yue Luansheng turned around, looked at the small half plate of silver silk rolls placed high on the window sill, and the look of determination flashed across his eyes, and he said to himself, "I'll just eat one", and then Slowly approaching the window...

The wooden door of the east room in the small courtyard slowly opened, and a fat and short figure flashed out, stretched, and immediately covered his eyes with his hands, as if he couldn't adapt to the strong light outside.Suddenly, the nose buried deep in the beard sensitively sniffed around, and this fat and short guy walked towards Gao Fei's cabin as if he had received some kind of summon.

The author has something to say: By the way, have you ever eaten silver silk rolls?The taste is not bad, I recommend it.
