Chapter 12 Three layers of buff
Author: Koi Yuanbao
Hemorrhoids and fistulas (lou) are also caused by heat in spring. Although Lu Xiling did not suffer from it, there were many old ladies in the palace who got sick in spring and summer. In the hot summer, they could not eat, sleep or sit still.
Who knows what it feels like.
Hu Erniang said: "Let Douya go with you. She is strong and can help you push the cart. I will stay and look after the store."
The owner has given in to this point, and the grassroots employees can't ask for too much. Besides, Hu Erniang can't help much. In terms of effectiveness, Dou Ya is more reliable.
It was still early, so Lu Xiling and Dou Ya loaded the cakes and drinks into the car, and then turned around to comfort Hu Erniang.
As long as it could cure her sweetheart, she would accept any price. As soon as Lu Xiling proposed that black pepper be soaked in water and wiped to relieve the burning sensation, the man immediately ground a lot of it with a stone mill.
Sure enough, love will only affect the speed at which a woman becomes rich.
Lu Xiling and Dou Ya packed up and took the car to Luoshui. It was already the first wedding day after the new emperor ascended the throne. The high-end residential area was deserted, and both sides of Luoshui were filled with excitement.
The festival must be celebrated well, and the city defenses must be properly arranged. Both sides of the pedestrian street are surrounded by royal stone railings. Therefore, if you usually walk along the west side, you can reach Luoshui within half a stick of incense, but today it took a full cup of tea. time.
After walking around the roundabout in the wealthy area, Lu Xiling glanced at his old home uncomfortably.
The two stone lions at the door, a male and a female, look as before, and the white wall and green tiles holding the magnolia are as before. It’s just that the green wood and aconite gate turned into a black jade archway at some point. Behind the elegance and charm, is the same family. The master's Shura face is the same, and he also has the intention of not allowing strangers to enter.
The words "Prince Yong's Mansion" on the plaque were bright and dazzling. Lu Xiling only glanced at it and then looked away.
Just after turning the corner, you will find Luoshui. On both sides of the road there are willows hanging down the embankments, and restaurants with flying eaves are rising one after another. It is already very lively just after Chenzheng.
Lu Xiling didn't dare to delay, so he pulled Dou Ya and ran in the direction where the gongs and drums came from. The most popular spot beside the crooked pink arch bridge was still occupied by others.
However, Lu Xiling was not in a hurry. The huge rock beside the bridge was not yet occupied by anyone. It was quite unique to have fallen flowers on his head and red mud under his feet.
The key point is to have your back against a big tree so you can enjoy the shade. You spend a whole day here, and you’ll get too much sun if you stand in the bright sun.
Dou Ya opened the food box and put out all the pastries and drinks.
"I heard that there are many shows on the river today, including tug-of-war, dragon boat racing, and swings!"
From their position, they could only hear the shouts of the tug-of-war. Men with eight-pack abs were not lucky enough to watch them sweat like rain.
Douya thought for a while: "Every year there are only the same number of plays on the dragon boat, which is not very interesting, but the swing is still worth watching."
There is a huge peach blossom tree on the bank of the river, which is two feet taller than the other flower trees. Its flowers are scorching, its trunk is thick, and its flower branches can extend to the middle of the water.
The swing hangs on top.
Women's Day is naturally a time for women to play on the swing. This is a good opportunity for noble ladies from aristocratic families to shine, and ordinary people don't get to do it.
The scenery on this day is endless, and the threshold for seeking marriage at home will be trampled down in the future. Some people with outstanding talents and appearance will be immediately promoted to concubines, so the people also call this tree the "Yue Lao Tree".
"I wonder which daughter will be lucky enough to stand on that swing today. I will never have the chance in this life~"
Lu Xiling took out the kettle and put it on the stove, and said with a smile: "What's so rare about this? When we get rich tomorrow, we will also plant a peach tree and install a swing then. You can play how you want."
After hearing this, Douya put her chin on her cheeks and broke into a big smile, feeling more energetic about her work.
The glutinous leaves, plates, bamboo skewers, and white porcelain bowls are all neatly arranged, and all kinds of pastries are arranged in two rows.
As soon as the tinkering was finished, an endless stream of people came from all directions to both sides of the river bank.
The merchants on the pedestrian street today are dazzling, but no matter who takes a quick look, their attention will be attracted by the two young ladies on the edge of the rock.
Others had shelves and bamboo baskets, while hers had cooking utensils and benches. Others were shouting, but she and she stood leisurely in front of the stall, neither impatient nor impatient, as if they had responded to the saying, "The aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley."
The most considerate thing is the food tasting prepared by her family.
Unlike other vendors who at most only ask customers to grab it with their hands, it is not hygienic and elegant enough. Especially for ladies from high families who have been educated at home, even if they are willing to fulfill their wishes, they cannot let go of their image in front of outsiders.
Lu Xiling understood this deeply, and this time he specially cut the pastry into small pieces, placed them on a small porcelain plate, and inserted a bamboo skewer into each small piece.
"Fine, white, soft and waxy, sweet but not greasy, what is this?" a guest asked.
It’s Snow Mei Niang.
Lu Xiling suppressed the urge to blurt out and introduced: "This one is called a peach blossom with a human face."
The guests' eyes lit up.
"It's white and rosy, delicate and pleasant. When we first saw it, it was green and full of greenness, like a veil wrapped in cold smoke. Little did we know that it was so warm and magical inside, hiss~ what a beauty -"
Tsk tsk, listen, it’s different if you’re educated. Just two sentences that someone randomly pulls out can be used as ready-made advertising slogans, but Lu Xiling, after studying for so many years, can still only apply the ancient works.
People are more infuriating than others.
It's just that this gentleman, you can eat as long as you want, so why do you keep blushing more and more as you eat?
Lu Xiling, a wretched person, immediately realized what the diner was thinking. What this person was eating was not cakes, he was clearly the lover of his dreams.
After sending away the sleazy diners with their whims, just as Lu Xiling had expected at first, most of the people who liked her pastries were women, and the best thing sold at the stall was the peach blossom set meal.
"Look, miss, this pastry looks so handsome."
The young lady wearing an amber gauze skirt twisted her waist and looked over, her delicate red lips were slightly opened, and a soft voice came out.
“It’s so ingenious and truly exquisite.”
The feeling of being praised by a wretched man is different from that of being praised by a beautiful woman. Lu Xiling felt energetic and gave a good sales pitch to the young lady.
After hearing this, the maid said happily: "Young lady, weren't you still worrying about what gift to bring to meet that big shot? My maid sees that this pastry has a good name, style and taste, so why don't you just take this?"
"
Lu Xiling's eyes narrowed into slits.
No wonder she can be a personal maid, she has a sweet mouth!
The lady in the amber gauze skirt sighed, wondering: "But after all, it is a market thing, and people don't like it."
"Miss, I don't need anything. If you keep thinking like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to get anything done."
The beauty took a bite of Xue Mei Niang and sighed again.
Lu Xiling felt pain everywhere in her heart, liver, spleen and lungs. At this moment, she was like Jia Baoyu meeting Lin Daiyu, she just wanted to be pampered, protected and distressed.
My good sister, if you continue to sigh, my heart will break.
Taking advantage of the little beauty's hesitation, Lu Xileng was about to cut some more pastries for tasting, but as soon as he turned around, he heard a sound of cursing.
"What my daughter, Di Bei, dislikes the most is a man like you who bullies the weak and fears the strong!"
…
"Do you know who I am? I'll scare you to death if I tell you!"
…
"If you dare to touch me, my brothers will make you look good!"
…
Lu Xiling couldn't help but look into the busy city.
Who is so powerful? With three sentences and three layers of buffs, it’s almost a combination of offense and defense.
