After eating, I went back to rest and take a nap. I got up in the afternoon and didn't go out at Tian's house. The next day, I went to the grocery street. There were all kinds of groceries there, and Brother Xiao made another purchase.

At noon, I went to a standard Shanxi noodle restaurant for noodles.

The performance of sliced ​​noodles left Fu Lang and the children stunned, and Tie Qing was not much better.

He remembered that the sliced ​​noodles were sliced ​​on the arm, but it turned out that it was placed on the head. After seeing it, Xiao Geer whispered to him: "Has that person's head been washed?"

Although it is a bald head, but also pay attention to hygiene.

"It doesn't matter whether you wash it or not, anyway, the scalp hasn't been shaved..." Tie Qing wiped his sweat: "This is really a dangerous job."

After this unique skill was performed, many people gave some money to the noodle-slicing master, which was not easy.

Brother Xiao also gave it, twenty copper coins.

Tie Dan'er kept touching his little head.

He is still young, and now he looks like a little bald head.

I don't grow my hair until I'm seven or eight years old. Such a young child can't comb his hair, and because the hair is too soft, he can't comb it.

"Don't touch it, Dad will definitely not let you carry the dough to peel the noodles." Tie Qing touched Tie Dan'er's little meaty head: "You can only eat half a bowl in a while."

The child is still young, so you should pay attention to the food, don't eat more just because it tastes good, in case of indigestion.

"En." Tie Dan'er nodded with a straight face.

One big bowl of sliced ​​noodles for each person, Tie Qing ordered three bowls, one of which was given to the two children.

The sliced ​​noodles at this time taste very good. The big bone soup is used, and old vinegar and chili oil are added. The children's one is only a little bit, and it is also delicious.

Tie Qing also ordered oily meat, oil cakes and brains.

"That's the brain?" Brother Xiao thought that the brain must be at least the head of a cow or sheep, but when it came up, he took a look and was dazed.

In a bowl of soup paste, put three pieces of fat mutton, a piece of lotus vegetable, and a piece of long yam.

He also tasted the taste of rice wine and distiller's grains in the soup, and there were a few slices of astragalus in the soup.

"Yes, this is the brain." Tie Qing only ordered two bowls, and the four of them shared them to eat something fresh.

When eating this thing, you can feel the mixed aroma of wine, medicine and mutton. It is delicious, and the more you eat, the more fragrant it becomes.It has the functions of nourishing and promoting blood circulation.

It is said that it was invented by a husband from a medical family. It was originally a medical food, which has a nourishing effect on the human body and has a very good effect.

The four of them had eaten Shaanxi-style delicacies, and then returned to Tian's house, took a rest in the afternoon, and took an inventory of the things they bought.

"It seems that we really need to hire a big cart, no, two big carts to pull things." Tie Qing looked at the things they bought, there were a lot of them.

"Let's hire five big carts. There are still several things I haven't bought yet." Sitting cross-legged on the kang, Brother Xiao was checking how much money was left in his purse.

They brought a lot of money when they came out this time. He wanted to buy some things to go back, especially Aunt Xiao. He entrusted him to take a look around Fucheng and see if there are any good things for her to bring back. She will give the money, as long as her There are good things from Fucheng in the grocery store, so the villagers must be crazy about buying them?

Usually merchants dump their goods because of the huge price difference. Who would come here for a special trip?

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Brother Xiao wants to bring back some more things for Aunt Xiao, so that the business of the grocery store will be more prosperous.

"Okay, as long as you're happy, it's okay to hire ten cars!" Tie Qing said bluntly, "You can buy whatever you want. I brought money with me when I went out this time. At worst, I went to the government office to exchange the bank notes."

There is no shortage of gold, silver and copper plates, and there are not too many silver and gold tickets.

Tie Qing always thought that it would be safer to put it anywhere than in his living space, and he didn't put much in his family's money bank.

However, in order to deceive others, he still has some silver and gold notes, which are issued by the imperial court, and can be exchanged for money at Liancheng Bank or Yamen.

"That's ten big carts!" Brother Xiao made a decision: "It's not easy for us to go out for a trip, so we can bring back something for our relatives and friends, even if it's a bag of dried fruit."

That is also the dried fruit from Fucheng!

"All right, all right, as long as you don't sell the three of us, you can buy anything." Tie Qing kindly put a few more gold leaves in Brother Xiao's purse. I hate some money, and usually just throw a piece or two of gold leaves in the past. The other party also likes such a generous and generous customer. Beautiful, everyone is happy.

While talking, Tian Cui Shi came: "The magistrate's wife sent someone to invite your whole family to visit the magistrate's mansion."

"Madam Zhifu?" Tie Qing was taken aback: "Master Lu is married?"

"That's right, the magistrate got married after taking office. The magistrate's wife gave birth to a boy, named Lu Ting, who said he belonged to the imperial court." Tian Cui didn't quite know what kind of friendship Tie Qing had with the magistrate, so she hurried to see him off in person. Please come here.

"Our family even asked Mr. Lu to send a gift to Mr. Lu!" Brother Xiao said on the sidelines: "This is what happened the year before last. Mr. Lu has been here for several years, right?"

"It's been more than four years." Tian Cui said: "Lord Lu is different from the previous magistrate. He doesn't stick to words and jokes, and he doesn't like romantic affairs. He handles business in a timely manner and handles problems in a timely manner. As a small family, life is very good.”

What Tian Cui didn't say was that when Mr. Lu first came, many people wanted to introduce him to his marriage and see his sisters and brothers, but unexpectedly, Beijing Central Committee suddenly sent someone to marry him. Mr. Lu They also got married right away. Although the newlyweds are not outstanding in appearance, they can only be said to be delicate and beautiful, but they are very skilled and have a good temperament.

Now that the eldest son is born, many people want to send beauties to the magistrate, but they fail.

Later, after the opening of the discussion field, the border trade opened, even if their Beifeng Mansion is not Shulin County, it has gained a lot of benefits, and there are even large caravans stationed here, and the caravans are divided into several teams to go to Shulin County. .

However, Mr. Lu is very strict in the investigation. All the caravans going to Shulin County must pass through Beifeng Mansion, so their strict inspection also saves Shulin County trouble.

"Then let's visit at night. After all, Mr. Lu doesn't have much time during the day." Brother Xiao thought for a while and asked Tian Cui, "Are you going?"

"No, we don't have any friendship with Lord Lu." Tian Cuishi is still very self-aware.

Ever since Mr. Lu called Beifeng Mansion, he acted as if strangers should not enter, and there were not many people who had friendship with him.

Their family only had a small amount of friendship between father-in-law and Master Lu, and it was because when they met in Shulin County, father-in-law's restaurant provided free hot meals to the county government.

I also supported some activities of the Yamen. For example, during snow removal in winter, dough pancakes and mutton soup will be provided; during heavy rain in summer, ginger soup and cold skin will be provided. friendship.

How many people in Fucheng want to get on the line of Mr. Zhifu, but there is no good way.

Brother Xiao didn't force it, Tie Qing went to wake the children up, he couldn't take a nap for too long, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

In the evening, the family of four went to Lu Mansion.

The magistrate has a house here in Fucheng, which is called "Lu Mansion".

The family does not live in the backyard of the prefect's Yamen, because the backyard has other uses.

Lu's Mansion is next to the magistrate's yamen, a large courtyard with four entrances and two cross courtyards.

There were only two households of servants who took care of the whole family.

This is the treatment given by the government to the local chief official, and the servants of these two households are all official slaves.

When Tie Qing and his family of four came, they just caught up with their family to start preparing dinner.

After entering the door, I saw Lu Yi.

He was still the same, but he didn't wear official uniforms, he was wearing ordinary clothes, and his temperament remained the same as before.

"Mr. Tie Qing." He cupped his hands, very politely.

"Lord Lu." Tie Qing was also polite to him.

"The honored guest is here. If you are far away, please come in." Lu Yi was actually standing inside the gate of their house, and he was a little cautious when he went out to greet him. Standing at the door to greet him was enough to save face. People are watching secretly.

Tie Qing followed Lu Yi to the living room: "You specially invited us, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing. I just heard that you are here. Is there something else to do? Although Tianhuayinlou is not big, it is a time-honored brand." It is rare for Lu Yi to say so much: "How do ordinary people know how to distinguish the purity of gold and silver? You made a move, and now many people know how to tell the difference, and don't need to ask a certain old priest or old shopkeeper to make a move, but some people with a guilty conscience will suffer disaster if they open a shop. They dare not trouble Tian Huayinlou, but yes I'm afraid you are not very friendly as a foreigner. I invite your whole family to dinner today. I will say that it is a good thing for the whole family. Let them be wary. Anyway, you will not stay here for a long time. Just leave when the time comes. However, you go Time to be careful."

"I know, I know." Tie Qing nodded: "I understand what's going on."

It's nothing more than disturbing other people's business, but then again, if they operate with integrity, they won't be in bad luck.

Tie Qing met Lu Yi, and Brother Xiao also met Lu Yi's wife.

This is a little woman who is very good at talking and doing things. She is holding a two-and-a-half-year-old child. She is wearing homely clothes and no heavy makeup. There is such an intimacy in her smile: "Come and taste the taste of my hometown today."

"Where is your home?" Brother Xiao asked.

"My hometown is in western Hunan, and the taste is a bit spicy. Fortunately, the climate in the Northeast is cool, and eating some spicy dishes can keep you warm." Mrs. Lu said with a sweet smile: "There are also some dried bamboo shoots, bacon, and chopped peppers. , today we have a fish head with chopped peppers."

I talked about some dishes from my hometown.

When eating, it was indeed a table of Xiangxi-style dishes.

Tie Qing couldn't help lowering his chopsticks when he laughed at his brother's eating: "This Hubei cuisine is a bit spicy, but let's go with it!"

"Yes." Master Lu glanced at Mrs. Lu: "The flavor of her hometown."

Mrs. Lu glanced at him with a sweet smile.

"It can be seen that you have a very good relationship." Tie Qing nodded: "It's rare for a person like you to marry such a good wife."

"Yes, it's rare." Lu Yi admitted.

His cold personality is not suitable for ordinary women, but the eldest son found one for him. This marriage was arranged by the eldest son from the beginning to the end. The wife has a good personality and treats him better. Raised a boy.

Things that I didn't dare to think about before have come true one by one, Lu Yi is very satisfied.

The meal was not lively, after all, Tie Qing and Lu Yi were not very good at chatting.

Brother Xiao and Mrs. Lu can chat better. Mrs. Lu is very knowledgeable and well-informed, and she has traveled all over the country with her family.

"Ma'am is amazing!" Brother Xiao admired him very much.

"What's so great? It's because I traveled all over the country with my parents and showed my face. Many people are taboo about this. My marriage has been delayed like this. Although my brother and sister-in-law don't say anything, I can't always stay at home like this Huh? Later, my cousin wrote a letter and told my parents about the master. My parents thought it was good. Although the master was a little older than me, it was because of his dedication to studying that he delayed his marriage. Now that he is successful and famous, he married A daughter-in-law is complete, and that’s how we two became.”

"It's fate to meet thousands of miles away, but it's not fate to never meet face to face." Tie Qing said a doggerel: "You two can make it, it is really a destined marriage."

Master Lu actually nodded in agreement with his words: "Yeah!"

The meal was enjoyable, and after the meal, they left.

After they left, Mrs. Lu glanced at the gift list and was surprised: "Master, the gift list given by the Tie family couple is so precious!"
