Little Ger, Slow Life in Another World

One day in late October, Miao He's house had a new visitor.

When Yang Dalang opened the door, Li Ming was greeted with a smile, and beside him was an old man with deep wrinkles.

Li Ming's personality is straightforward, and after saying hello, he said, "Brother He, I didn't tell you last time that your house is my favorite work! Maybe I will bring someone to see it if I have a chance, no, this Master Zhu just wanted to take a look, hehe, can you take a look? We only look at the main room and the drainage of the bathroom, and nothing else."

Miao He has a big belly now, and it is more comfortable to sit on the reclining chair. He smiled when he heard the words, "I really brought people here. Master Li's business is really good. No problem, wait for Da Lang to take you around and have a look." .”

Unexpectedly, Li Ming continued, "That's right! But it's a coincidence that our team is nearby recently! It is said that the hill next door was bought by a noble family, and a small building is going to be built to escape the summer heat. After the completion, we will definitely Come over and have a meal! At that time, I can help you repair the wall!"

Miao He was surprised, "The small summer building is so luxurious? Then this Master Zhu is..." He remembered that Li Ming also called him Master just now.

While the two were exchanging greetings, the old man had already looked around the main room, and when he saw that the topic was about him, he cupped his hands, "I'm from Zhu's class in Sioux City, sorry for bothering you." Before Miao He could think Where is Sioux City, and asked various questions directly.

For example, under the raised wooden boards under the feet, you can burn charcoal for heating, right?Another example is the design of double-layer windows, how is the lighting during the day?Li Ming on the side rushed to speak, and explained a bunch of things that Miao He didn't quite understand.

Blinking, looking at Yang Dalang who was also silent at the side, Miao He said uncertainly, "Uh, at least give someone a cup of tea?"

Yang Dalang did so.Afterwards, the two masters took a few sips and went to the bath room to observe.Then came and went in a hurry, Li Ming didn't even eat anything, and left with Master Zhu again.Miao He didn't delve into it, but only knew that they might have a neighbor in the future who was from out of town.

The next day was the day when Yang Dalang went to work in a teahouse.At dusk the man came back with two pieces of good news.

First, the "Naturally Growing Peanuts" from the previous seedlings successfully passed the acceptance of the shopkeeper Jin, and even the peanut oil extraction test at the old man's end has more than doubled the oil yield than before!Such a gratifying result made Mr. Qu decide to buy Miaohe's peanuts at a high price for seeding.

Yang Dalang didn't need to go home and ask himself.He knew that it would be next year's business to let the villagers grow peanuts according to the season.And with the generosity of the little brother, I am afraid that he will give good seeds planted directly from the soil, so that the first batch of trial planters can have better results.

But when the little brother heard this, he was a little absent-minded.

When it came to selling for several taels of silver, how many times did you respond indiscriminately?

Yang Dalang was about to frown when he saw Miao He smilingly taking out a set of autumn clothes.It's a beautiful dark blue, with black fabric around the collar and sleeves. It's not a trouser suit, but a long man's robe with a belt like the one worn by Jin Treasurer or Liang Yuanwai.

"Hey, when you went hunting a few days ago, my second aunt and I sewed a autumn coat for you. I specially asked my second aunt to make this robe looser, and the sleeves were stretched to seven points. When it was cold, I wore a long coat underneath. It’s warmer and easier to move around. Does it look good?”

As soon as Yang Dalang touched it, he knew that it was a high-quality fabric sent by shopkeeper Fang.Slipperier and warmer, just ask, "Is there any more cloth?"

Miao He couldn't hear the meaning. "And there's more. It doesn't matter if I do it later, I have to catch up with your birthday first! It's today."

Yang Dalang paused slightly.When his mother was around, he just cooked more bowls of noodles.But the little brother has been urging repeatedly, "Hurry up and see."

Yang Dalang responded, and changed into new clothes obediently.According to what Miaohe said, I added a long coat to try.Sure enough, it is not only good-looking, but also keeps warm, and the activities will not be dragged down by too long sleeves, which is convenient.

Miao He was taken aback, as expected, the improved new clothes made Yang Dalang look more handsome!Yu You said proudly, "I sewed this and this with my own hands. When you sell Codonopsis ginseng in the future, remember to tell Shopkeeper Fang."

Now, he is also a man who can needle and thread!I think the second aunt thought he was right before, saying that there is no one in the family who can mend, so do you have to find someone else if the inner garment is broken?Not to mention there will be children in the future, and there will be more opportunities for tattered clothes and socks, so what should I do then.Miao He gritted his teeth after hearing this, and then calmed down and learned a hand seriously.

"It's beautiful, thank you." Yang Dalang, who was wearing new clothes, couldn't help hugging his little brother and rubbing against him.

"I even made cakes for you. I used to, uh, on my birthday, I always thought about having cakes to eat. Now that I have this condition, I will eat cakes for my birthday in the future." Miao Hewo said In Yang Dalang's arms, something almost leaked.

The lucky man responded as if he hadn't noticed. "Well, eat them all."

Afterwards, Miao He again proudly brought out the delicious black date red bean glutinous rice cake, which was taught by his second aunt.There was no baking powder here, and Miao He couldn't figure out how to make a cake, so she asked the second aunt about this sweet cake steamed with glutinous rice and black dates.

The method is also simple, soak the glutinous rice, then remove the black dates and cut them in half, then boil the red beans with sugar to make a bean paste with granules.Then a layer of rice, a layer of jujube, a layer of rice, and a layer of bean paste are thrown on in turn.It looks like a mille-feuille.Then put it on the stove and steam until the black dates are sweet and soft, and the sweetness of the filling is combined with the soft glutinous rice.

After happily saying "Happy Birthday!", Miao He cut a piece of glutinous rice cake and stuffed it into his mouth.

As a result, a sweet and fragrant taste, which seemed to never get tired of taste, rushed up immediately.

It is in the mouth, and it is in the heart.

Before the little brother asked him if it was delicious, Yang Dalang took the cake and handed the bite to Miao He's mouth.Miao He was slightly taken aback, but took a bite without refusing.It was Yang Dalang who asked first, "Is it delicious?"

"Dang, of course it's delicious, I made it." Miao He's face was a little hot.

"En. Not greasy." Yang Dalang took another bite from Miao He's bite.

Miao He's face immediately became hotter.But when someone put the cake to his mouth again for him to eat, he still ate it.

With such a piece of cake, the whole room was filled with pink bubbles when I ate it.

Seeing and smelling the four Mao Maos who came over, they wagged their tails at their feet very tiredly.

I also wondered why the owners ignored them?

The little black cat coming from behind patted all four of them to sleep slowly.

According to its experience, it is more practical to go to bed early at this time.

-

In mid-November, the weather suddenly cooled down.

Miao He was wrapped up like a dumpling all day long, and stayed in the dormitory with the heated kang.Dabai also loves it very much, so he nestled next to the foot of the warm pit.Put four fluffy, majestic furs who are not afraid of the cold at all, scurrying around freely outside.

There are fewer types of fresh vegetables available at this time, only cabbage, radish, leek, chrysanthemum and garlic seedlings are still available. Yang Dalang's frequency of delivering vegetables to teahouses has also been greatly reduced, just to accompany Miao He, who has a growing stomach.

At this time, there was another piece of news in the village.Maybe it's not new, after all, there were rumors about it before.

It was Miao Yuan's exam results that were announced.

And just as the wind said, Miao Yuan did not pass the exam well and was not listed.

After hearing the result, the Miao family fell into a state of depression.They originally hoped that if Miao Yuan succeeded in the examination of scholar, then the matter of Dahe Restaurant might be turned around. After all, scholar can be said to be an official preparation, which means that he can continue to be admitted to Juren in the future!

However, such expectations may be too heavy, which makes people fail in the examination room.

Of course, Miao Jue also knew that it was quite difficult to pass the exam, but the news from the private school earlier made him expect too much from Miao Yuan.And those who can connect middle school students and scholars are not ordinary people.Now that Miao Yuan has not reached this level, although it is disappointing, it does not mean that there will be no chance next time!

So Miao Jue held back his gloomy expression, and patted Miao Yuan on the shoulder, "There's another time. Don't worry, it's still a long time. This time it's not a coincidence, there are too many factors interfering, as long as you work harder, Ah Master believes that you will be able to do it next time! So you don’t need to be depressed and you must not relax!! You know!!”

Miao Yuan's face was extremely gloomy, upon hearing this, a trace of fear flashed across him.He, he didn't know what was going on, but as soon as he entered the examination room, he felt extremely colic in his stomach. He asked the doctor after the examination, and the doctor said that people may have such symptoms when they are extremely nervous.When Miao Yuan heard this, his heart sank.He was really afraid of the next time, and it would be the same.

However, in the face of the expectations of the whole family, how could he say what his grandfather said, what his mother said! ?Miao Yuan could only smile stiffly, "I let Grandpa down. I'm really sorry. I, I will definitely work harder in the future..."

After receiving a message of comfort from relatives, Miao Yuan didn't feel better after returning to the room, but couldn't sleep no matter what.

Tossing and turning until late at night, finally got up and lit the oil lamp on the table.

He didn't want to study, and now he couldn't read at all! !He only felt a boundless panic attack.

Then I couldn't help but think, if I didn't go up next time, and I didn't go up next time, would this kind of life go on year after year...

At this time, I heard a slight knock on the door.

After a pause, Miao Yuan went to open the door.Sure enough, it was Minchun who came.

Min Chun didn't speak, and walked in the door automatically.Miao Yuan also immediately closed the door.

After covering up, Min Chun hugged Miao Yuan. The meaning conveyed by this body language couldn't be more obvious!

Miao Yuan struggled and wavered in his heart.But at this moment, the depression in my heart, the pressure of finding no outlet, and the restraint can no longer be suppressed! !

The next moment, Miao Yuan turned off the oil lamp, and without saying a word, he pulled the man and fell on the bed.

Then a suppressed gasp came out.Neither is the first time.Only Miao Yuan knows that the gauze tied on Minchun's wrist all the time, and the saying that it hurts from making tofu flowers are all excuses.It was just to cover up the lighter mole on Minchun's wrist.

After venting, Minchun's hoarse voice came out from the darkness.

"There is something I wanted to say after your exam, but I never had a chance."

Miao Yuan didn't respond, "..."

"Since the tofu flower is no longer good, it's time to make money with a new recipe, what do you think?"

Just this time, you'll have to trade it for a marriage.
