Chapter 612 Poached Eggs in Sugar Water
"You have always had a sharp ear and eyes, and you also know what kind of things are involved in this place at this time. Originally, our Fan family has never been involved in these things, but the emperor has other plans at this time, and wants people to go Take a look.”
Lu Qiyan understood what Fan Honghui was talking about, but he was a little unsure of what he wanted to express, so he simply asked directly, "Of course it's okay to take a look at it, but there is also an opinion to look at. You need to understand the emperor's intention. Only in this way can we control the degree. ”
"There are some things that I can't tell you clearly. I can only say, what do you want to do most and which way do you want the whole situation to develop? Just go ahead and do it."
Fan Honghui said with a smile, "The rest can only depend on the final result. We have no control over it, and we don't want to speculate more."
"Yes, I understand." Lu Qiyan accepted.
Fan Honghui paused and then said, "Actually, I also want to ask you, if the sun sets, which way will you choose?"
Lu Qiyan smiled and shook his head, "You don't have to choose at all. Although it will be dark after sunset, the sun will still rise the next morning. You only need to walk towards the light when the sun exists, and you will be fine." You can’t go wrong.”
Sure enough, Lu Qiyan had the same idea as him.
Can be called a confidant.
"That's right." Fan Honghui patted Lu Qiyan's shoulder again, "You should go and rest first. There will be hard times ahead."
"Yes." Lu Qiyan responded.
Xia Mingyue is still taking the time to pack everything she needs to bring.
Although this visit to the capital was summoned by the emperor and the empress, in the end he was going to accompany the Jin Weiguo peace talks delegation. After arriving in the capital, many pairs of eyes stared at him, so Xia Mingyue did not bring much with her.
In addition to a change of clothes and daily necessities, there are a lot of bottles and cans given by Yin Lingyou. In addition, I brought some clothes for Lu Qiyan and Xia Yunji, as well as some things that don't take up much space. It is a convenient place to eat dried meat, cakes and other items on the road.
No matter how streamlined it was, Zhuang Cui and Yin Qiao were also traveling with them. In addition to their belongings, they packed up four boxes.
Xia Mingyue planned to put it behind the carriage and fix it with hemp rope, which would not cause a lot of extra trouble.
Xia Mingyue was busy, and Mrs. Lu took advantage of Xia Mingyue's free time and pulled her into the house, "Brother and sister, you are going to the capital this time. As my sister-in-law, I should give you something, but I am afraid that you will not be in good condition during the journey. I probably won’t need it when I get to the capital, so I’ll just give you some tacky stuff.”
As he spoke, Lu stuffed a money bag into Xia Mingyue's hand.
The money bag was so heavy that Xia Mingyue's hand sank, and the silver pieces inside made a "clatter" sound.
Without weighing it deliberately, Xia Mingyue could already tell that there were at least thirty or forty taels of silver in the purse.
"Sister-in-law..." Xia Mingyue opened her mouth to refuse.
"Brother and sister." Mrs. Lu grabbed the words and said, "I know what my brother and sister are going to say, but I must accept this money."
"Now we are a family of four, each of whom can make money, and earn a lot of money every month. Dahu and Erhu are still very early in getting married, and I have also saved a lot of money. These are considered Give your siblings some extra money.”
"I know that my siblings are rich and have plenty of these, but this is my intention, which is different from usual, so I have to accept it no matter what."
Having said this, Xia Mingyue could only accept the money bag and said, "Then just listen to my sister-in-law."
"That's it." Lu smiled and narrowed her eyes.
Although the money is not much, after Xia Mingyue arrives in the capital, it will be different from Jinqiu County. Money is spent everywhere. The more money, the more peace of mind will be. Bad things. "Thank you, sister-in-law."
"Is this the case with my sister-in-law? That's it for this time. If you say this again, you won't be allowed to enter the house again."
"Sister-in-law can't do this..."
A few days passed by in a flash, and the day agreed with Lu Qiyan and Xia Yunji to set off soon came.
After getting up early, Yinqiao and Lu made breakfast.
There is nothing else, just poached eggs in sugar water.
It is a custom here to eat a bowl full of poached eggs in sugar water before going on a long journey, which means a safe journey.
From a scientific point of view, eggs are a high-protein and nutritious food. Eating a few at once will make you very hungry. Plus, with the addition of sugar water, it is quite suitable for being on the go.
Over time, it has become a custom and has been passed down. Even those whose families are wealthy and have no shortage of food will serve a bowl like this before going out to seek good fortune and good luck.
The sugar water is sweet, each poached egg is tender and delicious, and is completely formed. The yolk has just completely solidified. It is not bitter, but it does not feel old. When it is most tender and delicious, it tastes surprisingly delicious.

A bowl of poached eggs, the number is six, means smoothness.
Xia Mingyue, Zhuang Cui and Yinqiao each had a bowl, and they ate very deliciously.
After eating and drinking, he put down his bowl and moved all his luggage to the courtyard.
When everything was ready, Xia Yunji drove a carriage to pick him up as promised.
The caller moved all the luggage onto the carriage and asked Xia Mingyue, Zhuang Cui and Yinqiao to get on the carriage together.
Wu Jin was arranged to sit with the driver as usual.
In order to prevent Wu Jin from getting cold during the long journey, Xia Mingyue and Qing Jue sewed two clothes for Wu Jin overnight these two days.
The design is made of pure cotton stuffed with thick cotton, which wraps the whole body, making it soft and warm. It is even a hooded version, a triangular hat with pointed ears designed by Xia Mingyue. It is carried behind the back and looks very majestic. .
The driver was a soldier from the military camp. On the way here, he heard from Xia Yunji that he would be traveling with a majestic big dog. Now that he actually saw this majestic big dog, he suddenly became very curious.
From the moment he got on the bus, the soldier's eyes never left Wu Jin's body except to watch the road while driving.
"Your name is Wu Jin, right? This is a very good name, it really suits your identity!"
"Commander Xia said that you are usually the most understanding of humanity and can basically understand what people say. Can you understand what I am saying now?"
"I heard that Commander Lu's wife, Lady Xia, is the best at cooking, and the food she cooks is more delicious than any restaurant. So Wujin, do you prefer raw meat or cooked meat? Do you often eat Lady Xia's cooking? Meals?”
"That's right, you look so brave, but have you ever hunted or chased a rabbit?"
"Hey, Wu Jin, you said that I have said so many things, but you still don't pay attention to me. Are you always so cold..."
