By Jia Xiuzhen

Let's say that when everyone worked all day, when they were hungry, Li Wan came out in front of him all the time.They are all young masters and girls. Although there are many ordinary banquets, there are one table for one table, one plate for one bowl, where have you seen such a formation?If you say crude, if you say bold, if you say elegant, if you say ingenious, it is always inappropriate. I just feel that the scene in front of me has never been seen or seen before, and I don't know what to do.After being stunned for a long time, they all laughed and cheered suddenly.

Li Wan came out from inside, holding a porcelain jar in his hand. Seeing that everyone's eyes lit up, he said with a smile, "What are you waiting for! Wash it off quickly!" Then he said to Jia Lan, "You know the people who hold the autumn banquet?" Rule, talk to them, there is no one to serve you today. Take whatever you want to eat yourself!"

Said that he carried the wine jar to the square wooden table aside and put it, seeing that there were already a lot of things in bottles and cans on it.Seeing those who were still in a daze, Li Wan pointed to the table: "The two rows next to the wall are full of wine, and the name of the wine is written under the paper. Those outside are fruit water, honey water, perilla and ginger. Soups and the like also have famous brands, you can figure it out, drink whatever you like."

Suddenly, someone brought a stack of large ice trays one foot wide and put them on the empty table beside them.In the courtyard, apart from the big long wooden table they used for breakfast, there were several smaller square tables and round tables in the distance, all equipped with wide noodle stools, but not a single chair.

Jia Lan pointed to the plate: "I'll take that one and go around later, take whatever you like, and we'll eat and drink around the table when we get it, and we have to talk, and it's spacious. Oh, it's so beautiful. Already!"

Xichun hurriedly tugged at him: "What nonsense! Hurry up and wash it off!"

A group of people went inside and came out in half a day. Only Baoyu changed back to the clothes he wore when he came in the morning, and the rest were still the same as when they were working in the afternoon.Baoyu felt bored when he saw it, so he went back and changed the same one.

Xichun and Jialan were already sitting there, knocking on the mud ball with a wooden hammer.Baoyu didn't care about taking it for himself, so he went over to watch the fun first.

After three or two strokes, the clay shell cracked, Xichun was impatient, she didn't care about the heat, so she hurried to scrape off the clay.Jia Lan hurriedly stopped her, and quickly pulled it away with her own hand, and pulled out a sharp thin-bladed knife with a swish. Without saying a word, she cut it twice horizontally and vertically according to the layers of lotus leaves inside.Picking up the tip of the knife, a fresh aroma of chicken mixed with the aroma of lotus leaves rushed out, and the heat was misty, revealing a piece of crispy white and yellowish tender meat.

Xichun took a deep breath, Jia Lan was already used to it, she kept on taking off the tender chicken with two or three strokes.Pick a piece with legs and put it on the plate in front of Xichun, then turn around and ask Baoyu, "Second Uncle Bao, would you like to come with me?"

Baoyu nodded quickly. Seeing that he didn't have a plate in front of him, and that he had always had a small appetite, he was afraid he would eat too much, so he tore off a wing and said to him, "Where's your plate?"

Baoyu smiled and took it from his hand, bit his long mouth and said, "Look at the way I am dressed today, what kind of plate do I want?"

Jia Lan didn't expect Baoyu to have such a time, so he couldn't help laughing.I tore off a piece of chicken breast from the inside, chewed it in my mouth, nodded and said while eating: "Good work, look at the fourth aunt, if this chicken is not even old or old, then it can't be wrong. The whole chicken must be tender .”

His fourth aunt was burying her head in eating hard, humming twice as she received this gift.

When Baoyu sat there with his head bowed and gnawed on the chicken wings, the others came back laughing and laughing after taking some food. Seeing him like this, they couldn't help laughing: "Come and have a look, this is also what people outside call 'Guogongfuchu'." Master Feng's Second Master Bao."

Baoyu just finished eating, swallowed it, looked at Tanchun, and said with a smile: "Du that girl, you just put down your hoe and come to make trouble. There is no 'son' here, there is only one 'hungry stomach'!"

Xiang Yun laughed and fell down: "Crazy, crazy, everyone is crazy. I haven't started drinking yet, and I'm so excited, I don't know what to do later."

Daiyu and Yingchun sat across from Jia Lan, looking enviously at him with his hands resting and his demeanor so unrestrained that he couldn't eat.Xichun just ate the leg meat that Jia Lan tore for her, and turned to look at Jia Lan again.

Jia Lan turned the beggar chicken over, picked out a piece of meat the size of a finger from under the back with the tip of a knife, put it on Xichun's plate, and said, "Fourth aunt, this piece of 'four unreliable' loin and eye meat is the most tender. .You try it."

About one bite, Xichun looked at him again. Jia Lan put the knife away and said, "Don't look, you will regret it later if you take another bite. Believe me, it's true. This is not going to happen right now." It's hot, eat this."

After talking about pushing a freshly fried Hibiscus crab bucket to Xichun, he picked out a kind of translucent and thin brown sauce from one side, and poured a spoonful of it on his head.

Xichun took a small silver spoon with a curved handle to break open the browned crispy shell on top, scooped up a spoonful of the crab meat inside and put it in his mouth, "Hmm..." He squinted his eyes, his cheeks bulging and chewing happily.

After taking two bites of this, Jia Lan took over, and gave her two other small skewers, as well as half of the shrimp dripping with hot fresh juice.Xichun just kept stuffing it into her mouth, making two murmurs from time to time to express her satisfaction.

Tanchun was sharing a crispy pancake with Baochai, looked at it and sighed: "I know now, the company is the most important thing. Second brother, you really can't compare to Lan'er."

But Daiyu said: "Third girl, don't be discouraged. We can't ask for that blessing. Even if we rush, Lan'er won't be with us. He always thinks we are vulgar, and we can't compare with his fourth aunt who is a real celebrity. "

Yingchun suppressed a smile and said: "Their friendship is not for nothing. A while ago, when the weather was just getting cooler, her nanny went to my place and said she disappeared when she turned around. We were surrounded by water, so it was scary. My face turned pale. I thought I couldn’t do it any more, so I went out with Siqi and the others to look for it. It was Xiuju who said, “What smells so fragrant”! Following the smell, under the boxwood bushes at the back, the two of them met. I know where to get a few pieces of charcoal, and I'm burning the young pigeons there to eat!"

Xiang Yun was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, "Usually, my ancestors only said how naughty my second brother and I were when we were young, but they didn't see what was in front of us."

Xichun took the opportunity to reply: "Let's not get closer, so it's not easy to be exposed."

Over there, Nanny Xichun was standing and talking with Nurse Li Wanchang. Hearing Yingchun mention her, she looked at Xichun and Jia Lan, and said with a smile: "I only worry about one, and I meet a brother who is so capable and talented." Careful and thoughtful nephew, it will be difficult for our girl to marry in the future. Where can I find a husband who can be worth 01:30!"

Everyone laughed when they heard it, and Jia Lan heard it with her sharp ears, and suddenly said to Xichun: "Auntie, if uncle treats you badly in the future, just tell me and I will support you."

Daiyu didn't listen to Nanny Xichun's words just now, but when she suddenly heard Jia Lan's words, she was both surprised and amused, and pointed out that the two of them didn't know what to say.Xichun choked on a piece of rice-flavored goose, swallowed it with difficulty, let out a long breath, and said to Jia Lan, "Don't worry, I won't marry if Lan'er doesn't look good. What's the matter?"

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Nanny Xichun couldn't help but say: "Really, tell me what to say! The girl is from every family, so I can say such things casually."

Li Wan said with a smile: "How old are the two of them, what do they know! Our Lan'er also said that marrying a daughter-in-law will take care of me, let me do it!" A plate of roasted duck was served with rose and plum sauce for them to eat.

At this time, the person who had just been dispatched to deliver food to Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng came back, "The old lady said that grandma, brothers and sisters are in high spirits today, so I'm afraid they should relax and have a few more drinks. The old lady just entertained a few people there." I commandeer you to rest earlier and see you tomorrow." Mrs. Wang had nothing to say, but Sister Feng asked for two more fresh fruits.Li Wan then ordered to wash and cut it, and he will come up with the prepared fruit in a while.

The long afterglow, the rustling evening wind blows away the rich smell of delicacies in front of you, and with the scent of rice after drying, you suddenly feel autumn.Daiyu closed her eyes and took a deep breath, Yingchun slightly raised her head, the two looked at each other and smiled, and touched hands lightly.

All of a sudden, the daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law who were leading them to work also came up, so Li Wan asked them to be led to the side table.Xiang Yun looked at it and said with a smile: "I am worried, we have enough of these many things, but what should we do. This is great!"

Seeing that everyone took a large bamboo plate, shuttled back and forth to take this and taste that, talking loudly.Baochai glanced at Baoyu quietly, only to see that he was pouring himself wine, taking a sip, looking around, and seeing those people eating happily, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.Baochai sighed: thinking of him, I have always been annoyed by mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law, always saying that they are contaminated by men's pickle, and even I am not refreshed.At this time, there are many walking around, back and forth, but he doesn't feel bored.The elder sister-in-law has used her thoughts.

Li Wan approached and said with a smile: "how? I'm bored with all this after eating enough. Why don't we go outside the yard and write poems."

Everyone smiled and nodded, Li Wan led them out of the courtyard gate, only a glimmer of afterglow was left on the slope outside, and the two big cases were complete with pen, ink, paper and inkstone.Seven or eight lamps were lit around, or horns, or colored glaze, but they were also transparent.

Suyun brought Biyue some freshly brewed tea, and Li Wan said, "This is aged Pu'er with orange peel and golden melon. It doesn't disturb your sleep, and it's just good for digestion. Come and taste it."

But Jia Lan said, "Mother, why don't you warm a pot of that lamb's glutinous rice wine, because it won't digest well?"

Li Wan said: "Though they digest food, they go up to the head. They are so dizzy after drinking, why do they write poems?" Even so, people brought a pot of thermos and brought a whole pair of high-footed moon shadow cups for use. .

Daiyu took a sip of tea first, then poured another glass of wine when she heard that the name of the wine was strange.Seeing that the color is like amber, he took a sip of the aroma and flavor, nodded and said: "It's rare that this wine doesn't have a sour taste even after it's warmed up, it's quite palatable."

Jia Lan said with a smile: "Aunt Lin is now getting something from wine, it's really unbelievable."

Daiyu smiled: "Why? Only your fourth aunt is allowed to drink a big bowl of wine and eat meat. We can't do it even after a sip?"

Jia Lan said with a smile: "Aunt Lin is in my heart, maybe I should really drink the wind and drink the dew, and then use some Xingyue essence at night is enough."

Daiyu nodded and said, "It's my aunt, I should be a fairy in Lan'er's heart!"

Jia Lan laughed and said, "Why doesn't Auntie say she is a fairy?!"

Daiyu couldn't help laughing, "Which god have you seen sucking the essence of the sun and the moon outside in the middle of the night? Isn't that all the tricks in the book that goblins practice?" Suddenly remembered that I practiced Qingming at night , even more fun.

At this moment, Baoyu shouted: "This time you are all inferior to me! I already have this, come and see."

When everyone heard that he had already chanted in unison, they were all surprised and gathered around to take a closer look.After reading it, Baochai sighed: "If you can speak like this on a daily basis, are you still afraid that your uncle will scold you?! I'm afraid it will be too late to praise you."

Tanchun and Xiangyun also praised: "It's very real, it's really rare."

Only Daiyu said with a smile: "What's the matter? You see that what he wrote in his words is sympathy for farmers, but in fact he is sympathy for himself!"

Everyone thought about Jing again and it was true, so they laughed again.Zhi Baochai said: "Although there are roots, being able to extend oneself to others also means taking into account the people's livelihood and regenerating compassion, and is very qualified to be the parents of the people."

Li Wan said with a smile: "Didn't you say that I was the judge? Now that all of you are full of food and drink, and you are not doing business, but you grab my job, what do you say?"

Everyone laughed, and then they all began to chant.There is no need to go into details, but Baoyu's two poems were finally determined to be the first names, which was beyond everyone's expectations. It is reasonable for Baochai to say it with a smile.

It wasn't until Haizheng that we had a good time saying goodbye, and each went back under the moonlight.
