Food in the Song Dynasty: My System Connects Mountains and Seas

Chapter 169

After entering the garden, walk through a flower path, and when you look up, you can see that the poolside is full of people on the third floor and the outer third floor. Waves of cheers come from inside, and the bid competition has already begun. .

Wen Shu really wanted to squeeze in to see which team won the first place and took the lead, but there were too many people watching and it was impossible to squeeze in.

Seeing this, Father Wen hurriedly teased her and said, "Forget it, it's almost over to squeeze in. Let's find a tea shop to sit down and have a rest. After the intermission, when the crowd disperses, we can squeeze in again." Go in and find a good spot."

Wen Shu thought it made sense, so she stopped the crowd and followed her father to a tea shop on the right.

The teahouses in Jinming Lake are not comparable to those on her rural roads. The things here are all expensive, and what they sell are not basic things like steamed buns and pancakes, but exquisite pastries. Fruits and vegetables are also very expensive. tea soup.

The three went in and ordered a pot of the cheapest tea, and then found a seat by the window, drinking slowly while looking at the lake and mountains outside the window.

After drinking half a cup of tea, the cheers by the pool grew louder, as if they had reached an exciting place. Wen Shu felt itchy, stood up hurriedly, stretched her neck and looked out, but the place was not high enough, and she was caught again. The dense crowd on the outside blocked it, and in the end they didn't even look at the top of the boat.

Just sitting like this, just listening to the sound is also a kind of torture. After thinking about it, she told her father that she wanted to go out for a walk.

Father Wen knew that she couldn't sit still, and he didn't force her to be careful, so he let her go.

When Zhao Niang heard that she was going to leave, she hurriedly found an excuse that she wanted to take Goudan to buy food, so as not to stay alone with the owner and get along with the embarrassment.

Now they all left, leaving only Father Wen to sit and drink tea alone.

Here, Wen Shu circled around the edge of the pool, but couldn't even find a gap, so he had no choice but to retreat to the big rock behind him and sit down.

At this time, a scent of flowers came, Wen Shu turned his head to look at the peach forest behind him, but saw that the peach blossoms were half covered, his lacquer-like eyes turned quietly, a thought floated up, he got up immediately, and went into the forest.

Entering the forest, you can see countless petals flying on the ground, crisp birds singing on the treetops, and wild bees are busy "buzzing" on the branches in the last flowering period.

Looking around, seeing no one around, Wen Shu hurriedly took out the sack from the storage basket and squatted on the ground, and began to collect the petals, looking around, lest someone would jump out at any time.

Jinming Pond is a royal garden, and there are many exotic flowers and plants in it. Although it is open to the public in March and April every year, people are allowed to come in to enjoy the spring, but there is a rule that it is not allowed to climb and break the flower branches.

If it is light, it will be fined and reprimanded, and if it is serious, it will have to be whipped.

Even the petals that fall on the ground are also regulated. If you just carry some fresh and fresh home in a small bamboo basket, no one cares.But it is not allowed to carry sacks and bags in like her.

Because the garden keeper is still waiting for these petals to make extra money.

Peach petals have a wide range of uses. They can be served on cold dishes, brewed wine, made into cakes, rouge and spices, and are in great demand.Therefore, the stewards of the garden will send people to collect the fallen petals every year, so that they can be sold to restaurants, rouge, and pastry shops in the city.

But she came here in a hurry and didn't bring a bamboo basket with her, so she could only pick some up secretly.

The sky has been sunny for several days, and most of the petals on the upper layer of the ground have been scorched and wilted by the sun. Wen Shu picks up the petals for food and cakes. I don’t like the bad-looking ones, so I put them on the upper layer immediately Whisk it away and remove the slightly fresher ones.

It’s just that there are few fresh petals. Wen Shu squatted and moved forward while searching, unknowingly getting farther and farther away from the entrance. Under the wisteria trellis at the end.

She was stunned for a moment, picked up the half-full sack on the floor and put it into the storage basket, and was about to turn around and go back to find her father, when a voice suddenly rang out from behind the flower stand.

"Are you all ready?"

The low-pitched male voice sounded somewhat familiar, and Wen Shu suddenly became curious, and tiptoed close to the flower stand, listening carefully.

"Yes, Mr. Duan San has already passed, counting the time, it has already started." Another voice said.

"Very good." The man's deep voice echoed again, but there was a bit of coldness in his words.

A few words of unknown meaning aroused Wen Shu's curiosity even more. In order to find out who the familiar voice was, she ventured to put her eyes into the small hole woven among the intertwined green vines. Look across.

The next moment, a piece of light blue skirt embroidered with bamboo came into view, but due to the limitation of the height and the small hole, the face could not be seen.But judging from the clothes, that person should be standing sideways and very close to the flower stand, otherwise, she wouldn't be able to see the crabapple flowers on the opposite side.

Most of the different flowers in Jinming Pond are separated by rattan flower racks, and wisteria is one of them.

Wen Shu has been here a few times, and knows that there are only two places in the garden separated by wisterias, one is the peony and apricot grove, the other is the peach grove and crabapple, and she is in the peach grove at this time, so the opposite is naturally the crabapple garden .

She didn't know the reason, and she didn't recognize the third son Duan in the other party's mouth, so Wen Shu, who satisfied her curiosity, tiptoed away again.

Walking out of the Taolin, the championship competition outside has been suspended for rest, and the crowd of onlookers also dispersed, and some gathered together to continue discussing the situation of the battle just now.Some wandered around the food stalls by the pool, buying some mouth-watering cooked tea soup and snacks for wrapping their stomachs.

Wen Shu passed through the crowd and turned to meet her father at the tea shop, but when she got there, her father was nowhere to be seen by the window, and Mrs. Zhao and Goudan hadn't returned either.

Where did dad go?Wen Shu was a little puzzled, but in order not to miss the tossing back and forth, he stood there with his hands tied and waited. This was the tacit understanding between their father and daughter.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, seeing the drums beating again, and the race in the pool continued, it was a good time to grab the front row position, but her father hadn't turned around yet, Wen Shu was anxious and anxious, her eyes kept on looking Searching for a shuttle in the sea.

After a while, seeing the crowd gathering again and forming an iron bucket around the pool, Wen Shu spotted a gap and hurriedly squeezed in.

No matter, occupy the position first.

As soon as she went in, Mrs. Zhao ran back with her dog egg in her arms. Her eyes swept around the tea shop, but she didn't see Wen Shu, so she was in a hurry.

Thinking of the way Xiaodong's family kept stretching their necks to see the bid, his eyes immediately turned to the densely packed crowd around the pool.However, there were too many people, she couldn't see whether Wen Shu was there at all when she glanced over.

After thinking about it, I could only shout loudly: "Little boss, little boss, where are you? Something happened to your father!"

Surrounded by the crowd, Wen Shu was looking at the big boats in the pool with great interest, waiting to see them break through the waves as if they were flying past. Coupled with the continuous sound of gongs and drums, she didn't even hear anyone calling her outside.

　The second update is sent, please recommend, ask for a monthly ticket.
