Chapter 086
"This...such a coincidence...the county magistrate and Guanshi Song also came here to offer incense and worship Buddha." Lu Yunchen said dryly, even though he had known that Chu Han and Song Ling were also at Baiyun Temple before, but he didn't Expecting that the four of them would meet in this corner, looking at Song Ling's shy appearance, he was no different from the little guy behind him.
Chu Han nodded without changing his expression, still with the same cold and indifferent look, but Song Ling was startled, and suddenly withdrew his hand, the blush on his face had not faded, and the base of his ears was still covered with a thin layer of red, he Wiping his face, he stammered.
"The county.. The county government rarely takes a break.."
"Then I won't disturb your leisure time..." Lu Yunchen cupped his hands and saluted, before the two of them could respond, he dragged Qin Muyan, who was still out of the situation, and fled quickly. It's not a bad thing, but right now, it's really not suitable for small talk in this corner.
The two of them had walked a long way, before Qin Muyan realized in vain, "That, that, that... that manager Song, and the county magistrate, they just... um..." Lu Yunchen covered his mouth with his fingers on his lips.
"Shh... we didn't see anything just now, you know?"
The little husband stared at a pair of round apricot eyes, blinked like an innocent little deer, he nodded ignorantly, indicating that he knew.
Only then did Lu Yunchen let him go, and the two of them quickened their pace to the front of the dining hall. There was already a long queue at the door, and there were two rice pots on the wooden table near the door, which contained cooked Laba porridge. A bowl, distributed to the big guys who came to join in the fun.
When the two of them were in line, the Laba porridge in the pot had bottomed out, and the young monk held the spoon and scraped along the edge before filling out a small bowl. "Two benefactors, that's all I have left over for today's Laba porridge, why don't you come over early tomorrow..."
"It's okay..." Lu Yunchen took the bowl and sat down with Qin Muyan in a free place. He stirred the rice porridge in the bowl, "Glutinous rice, sesame seeds, coix seed, longan, red dates, mushrooms, lotus seeds... It’s pretty rich.”
Qin Muyan looked at it with his head, and said casually, "The blessing and longevity porridge served in Baiyun Temple, these things are served every year, husband, is this the first time you come here this year?"
"Er..." Lu Yunchen was speechless, he...it was the first time for him, thinking back to last year's Laba, he was still broadcasting live at home, but this year he came to this ghost place.It's just that I can't tell the little husband about such things, so I thought for a while and said, "I used to be busy with homework, and grandma and the others took care of the New Year's Day. I don't know much about these..."
"It's true, you scholars are all hardworking..." Qin Muyan tried to make amends secretly, without any doubts about his husband's words, he took the rice porridge that Lu Yunchen handed over from Chuanliang, rolled it into his mouth, and sipped it. He frowned, "Not sweet..."
Lu Yunchen also took a spoonful and tasted it carefully. The taste of Laba porridge was a little bland and simple. The fine white rice was paired with brown rice and miscellaneous grains, and the taste was more layered. , Gently sip, the soft glutinousness melts in the mouth, covering the entire tip of the tongue.
The two shared a small bowl of Laba porridge with each other, got up, the sun was setting, and in the scorching afterglow, a round of red sun slowly walked down the hill, Qin Muyan yawned several times.
"But sleepy?" Lu Yunchen raised his hand to wipe away the steam from the corners of his eyes.
Qin Muyan nodded. He has become more and more sleepy these days. He eats and sleeps every day. He looks like a piggy. The old lady said yesterday that he has gained weight.
"Go back, it's getting late." Lu Yunchen took his hand, and the two walked outside the temple.
......
The groom squatted at the door and waited for a long time. When he saw the two of them coming out, he hurriedly moved the footstool out, "Boss Lu, you are back..."
"I'm sorry to bother you..." Lu Yunchen apologized slightly. He intended to take his little husband out to relax, thinking how big this Baiyun Temple would be, but he could go around it all at once. so long.
He opened the door curtain, helped Qin Muyan into the carriage, and staggered along the official road all the way. When he returned to Hexingju, the little husband had already fallen asleep in his arms. Lu Yunchen called him several times, and even Eyelids never trembled.
Reluctantly, Lu Yunchen picked up the person horizontally, wrapped him tightly in a big cloak, and carefully carried him out of the carriage. There were not many guests coming to Hexingju for dinner at the moment, so he walked past with the person in his arms.The old lady was still worried, saying that she was going to Baiyun Temple, why she hadn't come back yet, she was about to go out to search, just happened to meet the two of them returning to the room, a heart hanging in mid-air, and then landed safely.
Lu Yunchen settled Qin Muyan, turned around and left the bedroom, and started to work again. He hadn't started tidying up the laba garlic that he had agreed to. Just peeling the garlic was a big project. After peeling for a long time, I didn't even notice the slightest beads of sweat oozing from my forehead.
"Brother, let me help you..." Lu Yunjin finished his work in the shop, saw that his elder brother was still peeling garlic, so he came over to help.
"Yunjin, there are a few clay pots under the eaves, please help me clean them." After a while, it will be time to eat, if you don't pickle it, and don't know how long it will take, Lu Yunchen raised his head and wiped it. Tell Lu Yunjin the sweat on his forehead.
Lu Yunjin obediently fetched a basin of water from the house, and took a rag to clean the clay pots one by one.
"Qingyang came here again today?" Lu Yunchen quickened the movement of peeling garlic in his hands, and asked casually.
Lu Yunjin didn't know why his eldest brother asked such a question suddenly, and subconsciously responded.In the morning, Qing Yang did come and said that he just got fresh snacks, and brought them to the shop to share with everyone, and before leaving, he even gave him an extra pack.
The movements in Lu Yunchen's hands paused for a moment. If he guessed correctly, Qingyang probably had other thoughts about Yunjin. Although he used to come to Hexingju often, he stayed in the shop to help collect Yunjin. After paying the bill, he ran here every day without stopping for a day, so even if he is a fool, he can see it, but he doesn't know what his stupid brother thinks about this kid, he is not aware of it ?Or have you noticed it and have no other thoughts?He also has no way of knowing.
Yunjin is still young, and the days to come will be long, if he can see a caring husband and take care of him, it is not a bad thing, but Qingyang is still a child, if he really wants to take Yunjin After handing it over to him, Lu Yunchen was still a little worried.
The garlic was almost peeled, so he took out the vinegar he had bought early in the morning from the kitchen, first spread the peeled garlic all over the bottom of the jar, and then poured in the rice vinegar, just enough to cover the garlic.
"Brother, is this all right? Don't need to put other things?" Lu Yunjin asked curiously when he saw that he started to seal the cover.
"Yes, put it in the shade and soak it for about ten days, then you can eat it..." Lu Yunchen sealed the pots one by one and put them back under the eaves.
After pickling the Laba garlic, Lu Yunchen was too tired to cheer up. He wished he could lie down on the spot and sleep for a long time. Seeing this, Lu Yunjin made dinner. He rolled out some noodles and boiled them. After it is cooked, spread the scallion oil fried by Lu Yunchen before, and stir it evenly.
After soaking in water, the noodles are more chewy and smooth, soaked in a rich and salty onion flavor, leaving freshness between the lips and teeth when chewed.
With the little pickles, the three of them made a whole pot of noodles. After eating, they lay down on the chair, stroked their stomachs, and kept belching. Qin Muyan was exhausted from walking all day, and fell into a deep sleep. Woke up, so I missed dinner.
......
Song Ling said that Lord Inspector was going back to his hometown, which reminded Lu Yunchen. Although he was not sure about the relationship between Li Datou and his third grandfather, and whether he could hug his third grandfather's big tree, he couldn't take it lightly. .This Li Datou is also the same, the business of his noodle restaurant is not well managed, and he knows to stare at his small shop endlessly every day, it is really boring.
A few days later, one day when Lu Yunchen opened the door in the morning, he heard the beating of gongs and drums on Surabaya Street. It was very lively, and everyone swarmed towards the gate of the city.
"Brother, who is hosting a wedding..." Lu Yunchen grabbed a strong man and asked.
"Boss Lu, you are too ill-informed about this news. What are you doing for a happy event? It is Mr. Inspector who left our town a few years ago, and now he has returned to his hometown after his official post." The strong man said with a look of disgust, saying that this restaurant The teahouse is the place where the news is most closely transmitted. Even Mr. Tingshu said so, how come the owner of Hexingju doesn't know anything.
After finishing speaking, he didn't have the time to respond to Lu Yunchen, and hurriedly ran to the gate of the city.
When you return to your hometown, you go back to your hometown. How grand is this lord governor, attracting everyone to join in the fun?Lu Yunchen secretly slandered, "Speaking of which, Song Ling also mentioned that the entourage of the governor had notified Chu Han in advance and asked him to go to meet him, but seeing the magistrate's upright and righteous spirit , I'm afraid he won't sell his favor.
"Eh? Brother Yunchen, what are you doing standing here..." Gu Ping came over with two small bags in his face, saw Lu Yunchen looking towards the gate of the city, and asked.
"It is said that Lord Inspector is here..." Lu Yunchen withdrew his gaze and looked at the things Gu Ping was carrying, "Brother Ping, there are white noodles in the store, why did you bring them here?"
"Hey, I didn't buy this. It was distributed by the governor's entourage at the gate of the city. There are two small pockets for each person. Many people went to get them. When I left, the line was still very long..." Gu Ping replied, who would not want this stuff for free? There are still people in Yong'an Town who can't eat white noodles.
What are you doing this for?Sensitive to the sentiments of the people?Buy people's hearts?Lu Yunchen was puzzled, he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the governor.Since ancient times, officials have been as low-key as possible when they took office. He was lucky. Not only did he not avoid suspicion with the local county magistrate, he specially notified Chu Han to meet him, and he also walked into the city swaggeringly, for fear that others would not know that he was back.
But no matter what, the person has already returned, and it is useless for Lu Yunchen to guess more. He calmed down and began to think about the New Year. After all, once the Laba is over, it will be the New Year.
