Chapter 19 Wontons

It’s autumn, the day is short, the night is long.

The sky is bright late and dark early.

At about half past six, the genius was so bright that Chu Fan strolled on a tree-lined path.

This time point is, in terms of the fifth update, the city gate has opened. In terms of the hour, it is the hour of Mao.

Chu Fan recently developed the habit of walking in the morning and was taken out by Shi Meng.

Every morning, Shi Meng had to get up and go to the yamen to call the name after he was less than six o'clock. No matter how light he was, he would always make some rustling sounds. Especially when everything was silent, the horse's hooves were stepping on the stone slab, which was so thrilling.

Since Chu Fan's qi refining, his sleep has decreased, but his body has become stronger and stronger, and he has become more and more energetic. In addition, he has unparalleled hearing, so he tossed and turned after being awakened, and it is difficult to fall asleep again, so he simply got up and took a walk.

He and Gardenia are people without status and black households. If the government finds out that according to the law, a large amount of money will be fined, and if they have no money, they will be taken away to do hard work.

The main purpose of calling Shi Meng to get two northern refugees is to prove the identity of the common people. It is best to use the remote Yan Kingdom. The clouds and moons are almost impossible to expose them if they are eight thousand miles apart.

But the operation is too difficult, and I don’t even know where to start with fraud. Shi Meng never saw what the Yanguo Road Indicator looks like. So he settled down and looked for the Yunmeng Xiaoguo Road Indicator, which is adjacent to Liguo and is only 600 miles away from Yangwu County.

Yunmeng had one city and eight counties more than ten years ago. Because the national teacher Wei Fengyunyun was broken and knocked down, he was left with only one royal city. The demise was a foregone conclusion. The king of Yunmeng was arrogant and refused to submit to the surrounding area. He said that he would live and die with the royal city.

How can there be a finished egg under the collapse of the nest?

The people do not have the awareness of coexistence and perishment. They run away when they leave their hometowns. There are many people leaving their hometowns and all countries enjoy their success. The king of Yunmeng is very kind and generous in this regard. He will release all the ways to go and will never stop them.

Therefore, it is best to do Yunmeng Road Initiative, but it is not easy to find a situation that matches Chu Fan and Chu Ling.

Shi Meng has been a headmaster for many years, so he naturally has a wild way, so he simply spent a lot of money to invite someone to go to Yunmeng Kingdom to tailor it. Six hundred miles of mountains and rivers are expected to take at least ten days and half a month to get it.

Chu Fan is not in a hurry.

After finally settled down, there was no need to break through the border and surrender to Ji Guo.

Since this world can attain the way of heaven, seek immortality, and reach the sky in one step, he is not very interested in martial arts. But at present, there is no other means to protect the little girl, so she must practice diligently and take one step at a time.

There is no immortal master in Yangwu County, which is a good hidden place.

If your combat power improves rapidly, don’t stop. When you encounter a bottleneck, look for opportunities.

However, turning a blind eye to the things outside the window and focusing on reading only the books of sages can easily make people stupid.

The same is true for practicing martial arts.

So, Chu Dashang asked Shi Meng for his identity as a white servant in order to better integrate into this era.

But the reputation of "copying scholar" has long spread like wildfire, so he had to still dress as a scholar, wearing a white robe. The ropes and iron rulers that were standard for the constable were not convenient to hold, and a pair of fists was enough.

Although Yunmeng Luyan has not been obtained, Shi Meng cannot register with the government and has no need to worry about his own land. He shouted out first.

As a result, in the Beicheng area of ​​Yangwu County, everyone knew that a new Yunmeng scholar was a distant relative of the Shi Captain.

That night, silver dropped from the sky, making the whole city noise, and even the county magistrate was alarmed. After the last investigation, no one admitted to picking it up. Moreover, the silver was not engraved and no owner appeared, so the matter ended up in the end.

However, the flow of money among acquaintances in Yangwu County has undergone subtle changes.

Originally, one tael of silver was exchanged for one thousand ounces of copper coins, but a strange silver block printed with fingerprints was exchanged for at least one thousand two hundred ounces, and the clearer the pattern, the more it was exchanged. It is said that the older man hid half an incinerator of big ingots, with finger marks and palm patterns on it as if it were carved. He would rather eat porridge and suck bran, and said that the gift of immortals would prolong life, how could he exchange money?

Han Moxuan stopped the ball, and the "White Deer Cave Collection" of 100 taels of silver was demolished and caused fire by the little girl.

Shi Meng came to the door with Baiyin to ask for the golden hairpin. Manager Li twisted his face into a bitter melon and begged his father to sue his grandmother. In the end, everyone wrote off the sesame money, and the hairpin was worth 118 taels and 5 cents of books.

The southern district chief Zhang Biao was suddenly infected with a disease and did not go out for five days.

Shi Meng held a grand funeral for Kuaishou, who was killed by Yang Qi, and also bought several acres of thin fields for the orphan and widowed mother to make a living. Everyone in the world gave a thumbs up and called Shi to catch the head and the righteousness of Yuntian.

Although the number of North District constables is small, they have all been full of energy after going out in recent days, with their heads held high and their chests held high.

The southern district had a lot of speed, and relied on the power of the captain Zhang Biao and Dian Shi Yanwei, and he used to walk without giving way. This time, he met his colleagues in the northern district, but he shrank and avoided the roadside.

Chu Fan spent a few days at Shi Meng's house, but it felt inconvenient. Besides, the little girl grew up day by day, and it was not good to live in the same room together. So he asked Shi Meng to leave the house and abandon the yard and open the fence wall. The two families lived separately and ate together.

The house that has only entered twice has two rooms, the front is the main hall and the east and west wing rooms, and the back is the stove and wood-room.

The owner of the house deed stated that Chu Ling and Shi Meng were the intermediary.

The little girl slept alone in the west wing. She was not used to it at first and was particularly afraid of the darkness. Chu Fan had to patiently tell her stories under the oil lamp and waited until she fell asleep before leaving.

The yard is not big and very quiet.

There is a osmanthus tree and a well in the courtyard.

The stone steps were built, the floor was paved with blue bricks, and the glazed tiles made the little girl happy as if she had entered the Heavenly Palace.

Within a few days, she became the little hostess role, smiling and muttering to raise chicks, ducks, and rabbits, and it would be better to raise a lamb.

Chu Fan was so amused that he told her that chickens could be raised and that they had to wait for spring and could not survive in winter. Ducks should not be raised and there was no pond. Rabbits and sheep should not be raised, as they would chew the flowers and plants in the yard into baldness.

Seeing that Mrs. Shi was cooking two families alone, she had to take care of the children, wash clothes, and repair them. Chu Fan thought, should she just ask a maid to take care of the housework and can also accompany the little girl to relieve her boredom?

Who knew that as soon as he spoke, the little girl turned her back and tears fell down.

After many coaxing, she finally threw herself into Chu Fan's arms and choked and said, "...Brother, I can cook food, I can wash clothes...Brother, I don't want one more person at home..."

Well, by the way, I wiped my tears on his mind.

Having no choice but to put an end to this immature idea.

Walking gradually develops the rules.

I got up at six o'clock in the morning, brushed my teeth and washed my face, walked north for more than 200 meters to the base of the city wall, walked eastward for more than a mile and turned south, and there was a vegetable market. I walked past the vegetable market and the Judge Temple, and then turned westward, which was a clockwise direction.

At the hour of Mao, the city gate was opened at five o'clock, and vegetable farmers and hunters were waiting outside the city. When they passed by the vegetable market at seven o'clock, there were many people gathering inside, bustling with shouts.

There are a line of breakfast selling between the vegetable market and the Judge Temple. At this time, he would sit down at a wonton shop, eat a bowl, and then carry four bowls back in a food box.

At around 7:30, the little girl woke up and Mrs. Shi got up early. When he got home, the wontons were still hot. Shi Meng responded to the slaughter. If he could hurry back at this point, if he was slow, until eight or nine o'clock, then heat up the wontons.

At first, the little girl also hummed and wanted to accompany her brother to go shopping early in the morning, but was firmly stopped. When she was growing, she could not get up too early and lack sleep.

Shi Meng and his wife were flattered. With Chu Fan's insistence, they reluctantly accepted his behavior of buying breakfast food for everyone.

For Chu Fan, this was a natural thing, just a simple task.

But in the eyes of outsiders, it was his distant relative who was a servant for the Shi family.

In fact, the common people of this era usually only eat two meals and have no concept of breakfast.

It is sunset, and it is about four o'clock in the afternoon to have supper, which is called 风. It is made at sunrise, and the sun comes out to do some work first, and it is about nine o'clock to eat yesterday's leftovers, which is called 风.

The nobles don’t care, they eat as long as they want.

Farmers who sell vegetables get up too early and will inevitably be hungry after entering the city. A few of them will eat some snacks outside, and most of them will eat their own dry food. Some of them will simply have empty stomachs and stand up until they go home for supper.

So the business of those snack stalls is neither good nor bad.

Chu Fan had three meals a day, and sometimes he even held some midnight snacks to worship Wudian Temple, which shocked all the eyes.

Such discussions often occur.

"See, that scholar is a relative of Shi Captain Shi's family and he has to eat three meals a day."

"Oh my God, my prodigal son, may all be eaten up by him. No wonder he ran from Yunmeng to our Yangwu County."

Mr. Chu had good ears, but when he heard this, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, and he couldn't say anything.

He only ate Li Su for breakfast.

When he first met, he did not pay attention to her or her wonton shop. There was only a girl about three years old in his eyes, who was stumbled towards a boiling pot.

At that time, the slim woman was busy on the chopping board with her back facing her child, and only two diners were eating their heads.

The little girl was very curious, and she stretched out her chubby little hand as she walked, as if she wanted to touch the steaming hot guy with a high chest.

But she learned to walk, but she didn't stand firmly and her little body rushed towards the soup pot.

The beautiful woman turned around and her soul was almost scared. Her face instantly pale as paper, but she didn't have time to react.

Only a loud roar was heard and the air burst out.

A scholar in white robe appeared in front of the pot out of thin air and hugged the little girl steadily.

Woo...

The strong wind poured into the wonton shop.

The chopped scallion leaves on the chopping board flew around, and one diner's straw hat was rolled up. The other just raised his head and opened his mouth before he could swallow it. After being poured in by strong wind, he coughed and burst into tears.

The grass leaves were flying on the street, and there were screams and scoldings from afar, saying that the fire that had just risen was blown out by a strange wind.

Li Su squatted on the ground and hugged her heart's baby tightly, her whole body trembled, and tears flowed silently.

The little girl didn't understand, so she touched her mother's temples timidly, then turned her head to see the strange uncle who had just hugged her.

The scholar in a white robe stood quietly.

When Li Su took out a handkerchief from her arms and wiped away her tears, she raised her face, opened her red lips lightly and said without thanking her, she smiled and spoke first:

"Please, have a bowl of wontons."

The sun is rising and the first golden thread is shot out.

The young scholar backed the blue sky, lingering golden light, and smiled slightly to reveal his white teeth.

Li Su was dizzy and thought she was in a dream.
