Chapter 361 An unexpected surprise (First update, please vote for me)
When Brother Ninth came back, Shu Shu asked: "Did something happen to the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
She thought of official duties. After all, it was still snowing outside and the messenger was in a hurry.
She was a little worried and had many speculations.
Brother Jiu didn't answer in a hurry, but asked He Yuzhu to put the word "Fu" on the bookcase and said to Shu Shu: "Look, what's the difference?"
Shu Shu stepped forward and looked at it, feeling that the glyphs seemed familiar.
Not to mention the Fu character stele in Heshen Garden, this font is also commonly used among the Fu characters that can be seen everywhere during the Spring Festival.
It's just that the layout is a bit strange.
There is nothing wrong with the radical on the left side, but the proportions on the right side are a little wrong, and the top and bottom are full.
Immediately, she understood.
Brother Jiu had already waved He Yuzhu away, stood in front of Shu Shu, and whispered: "I will never complain about my favoritism again!"
Shu Shu held his hand and nodded.
Where in the world can there be 100% fairness?
The ten fingers may be long or short, but if any of them is broken, the pain will be the same.
Especially between family members, it is not business. Ding is Dingmao and Mao can be calculated clearly.
Think about the good things about others and don't worry too much about the bad things, and you will feel more at ease.
"It's not easy for Khan Amar either. He has no father or mother, and he has no role model. He just has to learn to be a father and a mother. If there are any omissions or imperfections, we, as children, should be considerate and considerate and not care about them.
!”
Brother Jiu said boldly.
Shu Shu pinched his waist: "From now on, just keep this in your mind, don't say it out loud..."
Brother Jiu held her in his arms, took two deep breaths, and smelled the scent of magnolia flowers on her body: "I almost shed tears at that time. We don't give this 'blessing' to anyone, we keep it like a treasure."
, I want to live a long life, and we will grow old together..."
Shu Shu stroked his back, feeling tingling in her heart, and said, "Go back and find a piece of glass to cover this up."
When you move out, you can expand it and put up a blessing sign at your home.
Regarding this word "Fu", later generations passed down a lot of metaphysics.
It was before the 60th birthday of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang that she fell seriously ill and the medicine was ineffective.
The 20-year-old Emperor Kangxi saw that the emperor was the son of the emperor and could "ask the heavenly father for blessings and longevity" in ancient books. He bathed and fasted for three days, wrote the "blessing" of blessing and longevity, and stamped it with the emperor's jade seal.
Suppress evil spirits.
The Empress Dowager received the blessing, and all her ailments disappeared, and she lived for another fifteen years before dying.
Shu Shu did not ask Jiu Age whether this allusion was true or false.
Even if it doesn't reach 100 years, it would be great if it can really extend your life by fifteen years.
Brother Ninth Brother was over-excited and remembered that Shu Shu was going to accompany him, so he said bitterly: "From tonight onwards, we will live together and move the next two months to the front!"
"Above Heaven"
Shu Shu's hand paused.
Then she felt relieved, as expected, no matter how old a man is, he has a talent for bragging.
No matter how hard you say it, you may be afraid that he will have more than enough will but not enough strength.
But men all have self-esteem, and it's not easy for Shu Shu to expose it.
She is already thinking about health and leisure methods.
You can't let it go all the time, otherwise you will become weak even if you don't worry about getting pregnant.
The happiness between men and women is due to the secretion of the happy molecule dopamine.
But the secretion of dopamine is not limited to male-female love.
Later generations of experts conducted experiments and summarized several conclusions.
"Paying off debt" came in second.
I owe my fifth elder brother, and I have already paid it back.
Skip this.
"Smoking" comes third.
Nowadays, tobacco leaves are available and snuff bottles are popular. It is harmful to health, so skip it.
The rest is related to money, such as "salary increase", "salary payment", "repayment by the other party" and so on.
Skip them all.
The next entry is "Game Victory"...
Shu Shu thought of the popular "Animal Chess" when she was in elementary school.
It’s a no-brainer and just perfect for killing time.
This method is also simple, just call it Xiaochun, and Walnut found a cardboard and made one.
That night, Shu Shu and Brother Jiu sat cross-legged on the kang and played "animal chess".
It was originally a very simple game, but Brother Jiu refused to play it honestly.
You must simulate a "liger fight".
Also try to fly like a leopard.
Let’s see how the mouse robs the elephant.
All kinds of tricks...
Early the next morning, looking at the small animal chess cards scattered on the bed, Shu Shu was so angry that she beat the bed.
Mistake.
Brother Jiu smiled flatteringly and said: "Aren't you going to Ningshou Palace? I will go with you..."
Shu Shu was so angry that she pulled his hand, took a bite and said, "If you bite me again, I will be annoyed!"
Brother Jiu hurriedly said: "No more bites, no more bites, be gentler next time!"
Shu Shu rolled her eyes at him and said coquettishly: "I'm not a dog, so I'm not allowed to grind my teeth anymore..."
Brother Jiu smiled and said: "I am a Pig, so I want to carry my wife on my back!"
With that said, he picked up Shu Shu, walked a few steps steadily, and placed her directly in front of the dressing table with a proud look on his face.
The corners of Shu Shu's mouth curled up, but she didn't want to expose him.
After half a year of marriage, it was still difficult to hold her in my arms at the beginning, and my arms were shaking. But now my arm strength is much stronger.
Yesterday afternoon, Shu Shu sent someone to Ningshou Palace.
Therefore, after breakfast, the young couple set off.
There was a huge crowd behind, with many people following, carrying several large baskets.
When Aunt Bai came out and saw so many things, she was shocked: "Why is this one older?"
Just as Shu Shu was about to say something, a little palace maid had already sent a message inside, and the Queen Mother asked Shu Shu and Brother Jiu to go in.
Not only the Queen Mother is there, but the two concubines are also there.
"The Imperial Grandmother, the Dowager Empress..."
Shu Shu and Brother Jiu entered the room and both greeted them.
The Queen Mother nodded to Brother Ninth, then smiled and pulled Shu Shu and said: "I heard that you are coming to deliver New Year's vegetables, so they will be guarding here. If you don't deliver less, it won't be enough..."
Shu Shu smiled and said: "Don't worry, this is the filial piety of Master Jiu and his grandson's wife, and it's enough!"
Several large baskets entered the East Room of Ningshou Palace.
The Queen Mother and the concubines also reacted the same way as Aunt Bai.
In fact, this basket is not an ordinary basket. It is nearly three feet high and two feet in diameter.
The capacity of each one is quite large.
Shu Shu pointed to one of the baskets and said: "These jars are filled with sauce, pickles, meat sauce, Xianggu sauce, seafood sauce, and spicy sauce. They are convenient for dipping into glutinous rice dumplings and porridge. The rest are all kinds of
Pickles, platycodon, cabbage, spicy and sour cucumbers, radish tassels..."
The second basket contains all kinds of cooked food, five-spice quail eggs, sauced lamb, pine nut tripe, crispy fish, spicy sausages, and then all kinds of jelly, fish jelly, pig skin jelly, chicken jelly, and mutton jelly.
The third basket is similar to pre-made dishes, which can be heated and eaten.
There is no happiness, longevity or joy.
After that recipe of filial piety was revealed, the Second Institute did not intend to do it again.
But there were so many sea cucumbers and abalones, so don’t just leave them for nothing, so Shu Shu asked someone to collect eight of them and made them into the "Tan Shao Ba Bao". It was not as stunning as the Fu Shou Xi, but the taste was not bad. When it was time to eat, it was steamed directly.
Just make rice with rice.
There are also various kinds of meatballs, including large Sixi meatballs and those with water chestnuts. They are fried first and then cooked. After adjusting the taste, you can just heat them and put them on the plate when eating.
Small tofu balls and radish balls can be made into soup or eaten directly.
The remaining dishes are steamed pork with rice flour, braised pork with bamboo shoots, and Xianggu chicken, all of which are frozen in portions.
The fourth basket contains various kinds of pastries, rice and noodles.
Yellow steamed buns, red date cakes, millet hair cakes, various grain steamed buns, sweet eight-treasure glutinous rice, and salty chicken rice are all wrapped in portions of rice dumpling leaves, and the noodles are fried Yin noodles with five spices.
Eat dry noodles.
In each basket, there is a list indicating how to preserve various foods and how long they should last.
There is no refrigerator now, but there is an ice cellar here in Ningshou Palace. If the cellar is properly stored, these things can be eaten until the end of the first year.
The Queen Mother smiled from ear to ear, and the two concubines were also in a good mood.
Someone had already come to the two old ladies and said that Jiu Fujin had coaxed the Queen Mother into giving her food, and that all the good ingredients from the Ningshou Palace kitchen had been sent to the Second House.
Both of them had dealt with Shu Shu and knew that he was a filial child and would not take things for nothing.
As expected, I sent these old people back.
It's enough to just set up a table.
The Queen Mother took Shu Shu and said: "We will make more after the first lunar month, so as not to be used to eating in the south..."
Shu Shu nodded and said: "Well, I will listen to you and be ready when the time comes..."
In fact, after the first lunar month, the weather becomes hot and many things are no longer suitable for storage.
But it doesn’t matter, you can prepare more salty sauce and pickles.
As for meat, it is mainly air-dried.
The Queen Mother is naturally generous and does not have the temperament to take advantage of younger people.
The four baskets were full when they were brought in, but there was no room for wealth when they were taken away.
The ingredients in Ningshou Palace are even richer.
However, because the Queen Mother's diet mainly consists of meat, the tributes here are mainly from the Northeast.
There were also two salmon that were over three feet long.
The rest is fungus, pine nuts and other dry goods.
When leaving Ningshou Palace, Shu Shu's walk was a little giddy.
Brother Jiu was standing by and said with a smile: "Are you so happy?"
Shu Shu pointed to the two salmon and said: "There are fish!"
Brother Jiu smiled and said: "What's the point? I either got the one from Khan Ama before, or it's just not as big as this."
Shu Shu glanced at him.
Not only that, but you can unlock a new way to eat it.
She couldn't bear to cook these two fish directly.
But the weather has indeed turned hotter.
The snow on the ground can no longer be stored.
Wherever the sun shines, many areas begin to melt.
Fortunately, there is a "refrigerator" in the second dining room.
It has been idle since winter.
Two and a half feet long, two feet wide, and two feet deep.
After these two fish are divided, they can be stored for some time.
There is mustard in the palace.
The second dining room has this seasoning.
It's a yellow mustard sauce.
The raw material is a mustard seed the size of sesame seeds.
The lunch table was set, and there was a plate of orange-red fish fillets on it, with mustard and soy sauce mixed next to it.
Brother Jiu was surprised and said: "Why do you eat it this way? This fish is meant to be fried or braised. Why is it made into fish breasts? And it is cut so thickly?"
Shu Shu was so excited that she couldn't wait to pick up a piece, dipped it in soy sauce and put it in her mouth.
Firm and full, smooth and plump, with a sweet taste.
The taste of mustard is just right too...
