Chapter 135 Life
After listening to their words, Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan looked at them in surprise: "Master (Uncle), Uncle Shifu (Master), we only live here for a few months, but we have to live there for a short time." Are you on good terms with the neighbors? "
Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng looked at each other. They had the same idea at first, thinking that they did not need to have too much contact with their neighbors in just a few months.
But after walking around for a few days, they found that the capital was a little uneasy. After much thought, they decided to get to know the neighbors.
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan went to buy noodles and red beans and mung beans, mainly making red bean cakes and mung bean cakes.
The courtyard originally had a stone mill, so after the red beans and mung beans were soaked, Shi Xiaoliu grinded the bean flour, and Shi Zelan started baking red bean cakes and mung bean cakes.
After the red bean cake and mung bean cake were made, Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng had a rare taste of one, and then they said to Shi Zelan: "Next time, I will make some pancakes with Lingdou."
Shi Zelan nodded with a smile: "Okay, let's use the noodles grown by our sect, which will taste better."
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan sent cakes to their neighbors' houses, and let the neighbors know that they How many people are there in the family? They also tell everyone that they are here to see the capital, so the elders like to sit in teahouses and libraries.
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan both looked younger, and the neighbors knew that they were traveling with their master.
Some neighbors don't bother to talk to outsiders, while others are curious about where they pass.
Shi Xiaoliu came forward to talk to others, while Shi Zelan was the shy sister who followed closely behind his brother.
They returned home, and after telling Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng about the attitudes of the neighbors, Shi Zelan said with a smile: "We only have an understanding of them, and they don't have a close relationship with us either."
“We told them that we were just outsiders who rented the yard for a short stay, so they thought less of us.”
The next day, Mr. Decheng was kind and kind. When Zhengren came out of the yard, he was warmly greeted by his neighbors, who also responded to their enthusiasm.
Shi Xiaoliu was drying herbs in the yard, while Shi Zelan was sitting in the yard basking in the sun while continuing to draw talismans.
"Pah, pah, pah." There was a knock on the door, and Shi Xiaoliu saw Shi Zelan put away the things for drawing talismans and took out a book to read.
He walked over and opened the courtyard door, looking surprised at the three women standing outside the courtyard: "Aunts, come in and have a seat."
The three aunts smiled. Three bowls of food were handed over: "This is the food we stir-fry ourselves. Let you have a taste."
Shi Zelan followed him out. When Shi Xiaoliu nodded, she took the bowl: " Thank you, aunties, come in and have a glass of water.”
When the three aunts saw Shi Zelan at home, they walked in and saw herbs drying in the yard and an open book on the table.
The three of them looked more relaxed: "My little sister is drying herbs."
Shi Zelan quickly shook his head: "My brother is drying herbs, and I will sit and bask in the sun for a while. "
Shi Xiaoliu went into the room and moved the stools out, while Shi Zelan went to the kitchen to empty out their bowls and put two more pancakes in the three bowls.
After she came out with three bowls, she was very embarrassed and said to the three aunts: "Aunt, I will make pancakes next time and ask the aunts to taste them."
After the three aunts looked at each other, they said sheepishly: "We would like to ask you how to make pancakes. If it is your family's ancestral craft, just think that we are just here to get to know the new neighbors."
Shi Zelan watched. Seeing Shi Xiaoliu coming over with water, he smiled: "My brother and I have eaten this kind of pancake before. When we first came to the capital, we thought we couldn't get to know the neighbors empty-handed.
We thought the pancake would be easy to make and we would go out. I bought noodles and beans from the grain store on Dongbian Street.
My brother used the landlord’s stone mill to grind the beans into powder, and then I roasted them over a low fire.”
The three of them. My aunt looked at the stone mills in many corners of the yard and saw that they had just been used.
They still said to Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan: "Little brother, little sister, next time you make pancakes, can we come and learn how to make pancakes?" Shi Xiaoliu nodded, and Shi Zelan said with a smile: "Then we will buy them tomorrow. "
The three aunts said quickly: "When you go out tomorrow, call me. I am Aunt Liu who lives on your left."
"I am. Aunt Wang lives on your right.”
“I’m Aunt Lin who lives at the intersection.”
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan escorted them to the entrance of the courtyard and made an appointment for a time to go out.
They closed the courtyard door and heard Aunt Liu saying with a smile: "I said, no matter whether it's okay or not, it's better to ask than not to ask."
"Sister-in-law Liu, this time Fortunately, it was worth listening to your words.
The two children, Xiaoliu and Xiaolan, are very good-tempered and capable.”
In the yard, Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan looked at them with smiles. On the other side, Shi Xiaoliu whispered: "I will help you light the fire tomorrow."
Shi Zelan nodded and said: "Okay, let's go buy noodles and beans early."
"Sister Lan, do you think we should make some pancakes to sell?
How many of us live here? "Yue, you can't spend money, why don't you earn money?"
Shi Zelan listened to his words, looked at the herbs drying in the yard, and said, "Don't worry, let's follow the arrangements of my uncle and master." "
"Then don't worry, my master and I can also treat people."
"Xiao Liu, there is an old saying in the secular world that a doctor does not knock on the door, a Tao is not taught lightly, and a teacher does not follow the path.
The medical skills of you and my uncle are worthy of others taking the initiative to come to your door."
Shi Xiao Liu listened to Shi Zelan's words, smiled and nodded and said, "I'm anxious."
"Xiao Liu, my uncle and master will always find a reason to make the people around us accept our different lives from them. "
In the evening, Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng came back from outside and sat down to listen to Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan talk about today's events and how they would take their neighbors to make pancakes tomorrow.
Master Decheng smiled and said: "Okay. I also think the pancakes made by Xiaoliu and Sister Lan taste naturally sweet."
Master Shanzheng said to Shi Zelan: "Sister Lan, the kitchen affairs are also You have to pay attention to talent. If you have this talent, if others don't have it, don't force yourself to do it."
Shi Zelan smiled and nodded: "Master, when we buy noodles and beans, we will call them to make pancakes.
How much they can learn depends on their own understanding.
Xiao Liu and I also ate pancakes outside and then came back to make pancakes. .”
Shi Xiaoliu said with a smile: "Uncle Master, we just take this opportunity to take a look at the behavior of these three families."
Shi Xiaoliu then expressed his concerns to Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng. Master Decheng laughed after hearing this: "We will find ways to let out some rumors.
The ancestors of our two families have accumulated good deeds and left us some surplus silver.
We I have always been single, so I don’t have to worry about the life of my family.”
