Delicate Flower - Chapter 101

[Chapter 101 Seabuckthorn]

Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen were boiling maltose in the patio, and as soon as they stepped in the door, the sweet smell of malt came to their faces.

“Auntie!” Yu Yuan stepped forward to greet the Chen family.

Chen shi wiped his hands with the apron around his waist, and asked with a smile: “A Yuan, are you here to find your uncle? He has sent rice cakes to shopkeeper Tong Da. I’m afraid he won’t be back before noon today, you What’s the matter? If you don’t want to tell me, just go to the study and leave a note for your uncle.”

Tomorrow is the new year, and everything for the new year has been prepared.

Rice cakes are a must-have food for every family for the New Year, and making rice cakes is Chen’s specialty. However, in previous years, Chen’s health was not good, so he didn’t do much work.

Although Chen’s health is still not as good as ordinary people’s this year, it is much better than in previous years. Not only is the Yu family happy, but Chen’s is also very happy. He personally made rice cakes of more than ten kilograms of rice.

“I’m here to find A-Tang!” As he said, he helped Chen to move the cooked maltose into the kitchen, “Is A-Tang there? We saw some new patterns when we went to Hangzhou City last time. I want to discuss it with her.”

Chen Shi doubted that he had it, and smiled, “She’s in the study!” After speaking, she cut a piece of maltose with a knife and put it in a bowl and handed it to Yu Yuan, “Here, you brothers and sisters try it out. Is it delicious?”

Yu Yuan answered happily, and went to the study with the bowl.

Yu Tang held a lake pen in his hand and was drawing something at his desk.

The warm winter sun shone in from the window sash covered with Goryeo paper, gilding her figure with a layer of golden light, warm and soft.

Yu Yuan was stunned for a while before calling out “Amei”.

Yu Tang raised her head and laughed immediately.

A layer of laughter emerged from the bottom of her eyes, making her look agile.

“Why did you come here?” She put down the pen, stood up from behind the desk, and greeted Yu Yuan on the Taishi chair by the window to sit down, “Aren’t you busy preparing things for the Xiang’s family for New Year’s greetings?”

The wedding date has been set, and the marriage certificate has passed. Although the wedding has not yet been held, Yu Yuan is already the uncle of the Xiang family. It stands to reason that Yu Yuan will go to the Xiang family to pay New Year’s greetings on the second day of the first year. I didn’t take it to heart, and I didn’t buy anything when I went to Hangzhou City.

Yu Yuan laughed and completely forgot about it. He said, “Isn’t there my mother and aunt? I don’t understand this kind of thing. If I bought the wrong thing, I might as well not buy it!

” The people from the Xiang family left him a bad impression. He was a little repulsive of going to the Xiang family, but for the sake of Miss Xiang’s face, he decided to leave all these behind and go to the Xiang family with a modest attitude.

But that doesn’t mean he likes to talk about it.

He put the maltose on the small table and said to Yu Tang, “Aunt gave it to me, try it out.”

His mother got up early in the morning and started to boil the sugar.

When she was young, she would wait impatiently by the stove at this time, and would be forcibly taken away by her mother every time, and finally ended up crying and being stuffed with a piece of maltose.

It wasn’t until she was ten years old that she burned her mouth because she ate maltose secretly. She hired a doctor and drank medicine for more than a month. She could only watch all the delicious things in the first month, and she stopped being greedy.

To Chen and the others, it was only five or six years ago, but to her, it was more than ten years ago.

She sighed in her heart, smiled and went to soak a bowl of maltose water for herself and Yu Yuan, said “Brother, try it too”, and sat down opposite Yu Yuan again.

Yu Yuan tasted the sugar water. It was fragrant, sweet but not dry. He couldn’t help but praise: “I didn’t expect my aunt’s maltose to be so well made. We have a good time this year.”

In addition to offering sacrifices to the kitchen king, this maltose was used as a New Year’s greeting during the Spring Festival. Most of his relatives and friends were prepared for Yu Yuan to use when he got married.

Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled.

Yu Yuan was embarrassed and didn’t dare to talk about the maltose, so he said: “I thought about it carefully, just like you said, I will help manage the farm and forest at home, and we will plant the kind of tree you mentioned. , to make candied fruit.”

Yu Tang guessed that it would be the same.

In the past life, Yu Yuan’s business was doing so well, her uncle was still worried, and he had to guide Yu Yuan from time to time. In this life, Yu Yuan was just a errand behind the uncle, and it was even more impossible for the uncle to let go of the shop. The business was handed over to him.

“I was just about to tell my brother about this!” Yu Tang said, got up and went to the book desk, and said, “Brother, come and see, the tree here is the kind of tree I said. The people who are doing business outside have all come back, can you ask those people who are doing business outside to take a look and see if anyone knows this kind of tree?”

Yu Yuan walked over and looked at it carefully for a while before he rolled it up neatly. Painting, said: “Okay, I will leave this matter to me. I will give you news before the fifteenth.”

Yu Tang breathed a sigh of relief, but still felt uneasy. After Yu Yuan left, she painted again. A piece of sea buckthorn tree for Yu Wen, who just returned from delivering rice cakes from the shopkeeper Tong: “Do you know what kind of tree this is? Can you find someone who knows this tree?”

Many literati like to play with flowers and plants. Maybe someone knows.

Yu Wen smiled and said, “What kind of problem are you giving me?”

Because Yu Tang suggested that when Yu Yuan got married, he invited all the prestigious squires in Lin’an City and the scholars who were admitted to the scholars to come to the house for wedding wine. During this period of time, my legs were running thin, and I finally managed to get things done. In a blink of an eye, Yu Tang drew another inexplicable tree for him to recognize…

Yu Tang smiled embarrassedly, hugging his father’s arm and acting like a spoiled child: “This tree is called sea

buckthorn

. My brother and I are going to plant this tree on the mountain of our house. Dad, please help me and ask! Anyway, you have to help my brother to invite someone!”

He was coquettish, he was very happy, he teased Yu Tang a few times, and he still took the painting with him when he went out to send the wedding invitation.

To Yu Tang’s surprise, the person who knew about the tree was actually Shen Shanyan, the teacher of the county school.

He smiled and asked Yu Wen: “Why are you asking this? Although this tree is rough, it is not viable for us here. If you don’t believe it, you can go to Xiaguang’s house. There are several plants, which were brought back by Zhou Zijin when he went to Gansu that year. They still bear fruit there. After returning, they only grew tall and did not bear fruit. Because of this, Zijin also made a joke of Xiaguang. Stop, they said that the soil and water in their house is not good.”

Yu Wen didn’t expect this result, stayed for a while, then said: “It’s my daughter, I don’t know where I heard it, I want to plant this tree in our family’s mountain forest, let it be I’ll help you find out!”

Shen Shanyan escaped from the world here, and heard about Yu Wen’s character, and after several encounters, he was also right about his temper, and occasionally went to enjoy flowers and take a walk together.

Hearing this, he couldn’t help laughing and said, “It’s such a pity for you girl. If you were a son, you could do something even if you didn’t study.”

Who is Shen Shanyan? It’s incredible to get a compliment from him, let alone a girl.

Yu Wen’s face was full of joy, but he said modestly: “Where, where, she just likes tossing.”

Shen Shanyan said sincerely: “It is amazing to be able to toss and toss famously.” Then she thought of Miss Yu’s marriage , couldn’t help but say again: “You have to be careful about your daughter’s marriage, don’t make a random betrothal.”

“Definitely, definitely.” Yu Wen nodded again and again.

Even if Shen Shanyan didn’t say such a thing, he would still be reluctant to give his daughter a random betrothal. Listening to Shen Shanyan’s words now makes him even more determined to find a good son-in-law.
