010 The wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep
"It's so full" Lu Ting burped while walking out of the guest.
Two bear paws, one roasted whole lamb, a plate of silver-sword fish that was fresh enough to the bone, plus several meat dishes, and high-quality grape wine. Lu Ting ate it so much that he had to walk casually. He went to get rice without eating breakfast, which means he had a few pieces of pastries in the middle. Now he has a free meal, so he won’t eat it.
"Young Master, you are finally out." Fuzhi, who was sitting on the big bluestone in the river bank, saw Lu Ting and hurriedly met him.
"Fuzhi, take it, this is your supper." Lu Ting felt warm in his heart when he saw Fuzhi and stuffed the food box in his hand to Fuzhi.
There were only four people at the table to eat, including Chen Xunshun, the second uncle, and Carrie Lam, and she was very careful with eating her own food, and she was ruthless with others. The second uncle ordered a full vegetarian food and a roasted whole lamb. The atmosphere ahead was quite harmonious. Halfway through the meal, the second uncle and Director Chen started arguing again. The two old men who were over 100 years old together actually started drinking, and no one could hold on. As a result, they both got drunk. Carrie Lam asked the client to help the client rest. Seeing that there were so many left on the table, Lu Ting asked the client to pack a large box for him.
Until now, Fuzhi must have been hungry. Even the leftovers are a hundred times better than the mixed bean rice. Besides, Fuzhi is reluctant to eat non-mixed beans.
"...Thank you, Young Master." Fu Zhi was obviously stunned for a moment. Unexpectedly, his master still remembered the servants at home, and was almost moved to cry.
He also brought leftovers when eating a mat, which was done only when he settled down. The young master used to say the most that the tree had bark and people were shameless, and he could not lose face when he did anything. He didn't bother picking up copper coins on the street, and he had to sit in the front row even if he made a tea mat. Now he still brought leftovers for himself after eating a mat. It was so hard that he couldn't be moved.
Since the young master woke up from jumping into the river, he has become much more sensible in dealing with people and things. Has he been soaking in the river become a legendary disaster that will bring good fortune and be enlightened?
"Don't stop standing there, you have to learn rice. If you are late, you won't get it." Lu Ting said anxiously.
Even if I find a job, I don’t know when I will pay my monthly payment. Besides, the inn only includes two lunches and dinners, so I have to deal with breakfast by myself. I have to throw the better clothes into the pawn shop. When I come to the guest house to make a reservation, I have to stay in better clothes. I am still very tight on my hands.
"Don't worry, young master, I'll get the rice and come here to wait for the young master." After Fuzhi said that, he asked in a low voice: "Young master has drunk, do you want to hire a carriage?"
Lu Ting waved his hand and said, "No, you can eat when you walk."
After getting the rice, Lu Ting breathed a sigh of relief. At least he would not be afraid of being hungry this month, and he would only spend more than ten cents on his body. He could save as much as he could. Just walk back. He could help digestion while enjoying Suzhou under the sunset.
It takes time to make bear paws and roast whole lamb. After dinner, it is already sunset. The afterglow of the sunset seems to put a golden coat on Suzhou. The branches of willows make the breeze dance. The canal shimmers under the sun. Looking at the ancient Suzhou ancient city, smelling the wind with flowers and ripening, walking on Lu Ting on the official road, I feel like I am going back in time and being in ancient paintings.
This feeling is so wonderful.
"Xiaozhi, how about this Lu Ting?" In front of the window on the second floor of Kelaiju, Carrie Lam, with a blushing face, looked at the background of Lu Ting's departure, and whispered to the little niece standing next to her.
Zheng Yanzhi said angrily: "It's not so good, it's just a shameless and greedy prodigal son."
They all put down their figure and poured tea and snacks for him. Not only did they make me unhappy, but they also wanted to suck my appetite. It was so disgusting.
"Oh, right?" Lin Zheng said with a smile: "My aunt saw you having a great time talking to him. By the way, she even brought him the osmanthus cake you made with her. I remember you said it was made to honor your aunt, and now it's all in that kid's belly."
Zheng Yanzhi's pretty face turned red, and she quickly pulled Carrie Lam's hands and said coquettishly: "I'm not doing well this time, so I gave it to him. Yanzhi will make better for her aunt tomorrow."
Fearing that his aunt was misunderstood, Zheng Yanzhi immediately added: "That prodigal son really didn't see that he had such a profound attainment in his calculating. He also wanted to learn his skills when giving him pastries. Auntie must not misunderstand."
Carrie Lam asked curiously: "Xiaozhi, your Mingshu, is a professor from the Imperial College, who has agreed that there are not many people who can convince you. This Lu Tingminghu is very good?"
My little niece has been smart and proud since she was a child. She seems to have never been convinced by anyone since she was a child. She has no good looks on her face in normal times. Unexpectedly, Lu Ting convinced her and willingly did some work done by talented people. Carrie Lam suddenly became curious.
"He is the most powerful expert in the Ming Sect that my niece has ever seen." Zheng Yanzhi hesitated for a moment, and finally said what she thought.
The problem of chickens and rabbits being in the same cage, the former professor Mingsuan, who taught himself, only four solutions, and his head was scratched, only three. Lu Ting said that there were ten solutions. His flute-playing method was simple and easy to understand. Zheng Yanzhi didn't like Lu Ting, but he admired his ability to make a clear calculation, otherwise he wouldn't have asked him for advice.
I still have a little doubt in my heart. Why did he choose to play the flute so many instruments? Does he have a special liking for such instruments?
"Xiaozhi's evaluation is so high. My old man is really misleading this time. I didn't expect that the Lu family could produce such talents." Carrie Lam said with some sigh.
"This person is not good," Zheng Yanzhi immediately denied: "A prodigal son who is greedy and lustful, and he loves to take advantage of small gains. He eats and takes them, and he doesn't feel embarrassed."
For families with good looks, leftovers will be fed to animals or rewarded to the servants. Who will take them away? Lu Ting seems to have never eaten them before. He doesn’t feel embarrassed to eat them and take them.
Carrie Lam shook her head: "It's not that she is shameless, but that she treats her servants well. Xiaozhi, haven't you seen him give all the food to his servants?"
Zheng Yanzhi shook her head, quickly threw Lu Ting behind her head, dragged Carrie Lam's hand and said, "Auntie, don't you talk about this prodigal son, but you, Lu Lizheng and Chen Xunshun are both interested in your aunt. I wonder which one is my aunt's fond of?"
The people of the Tang Dynasty were open-minded, like couples and divorces, and widows remarrying was not new, and no one thought there was any problem. Anyone with discerning eyes could see that Lu Lizheng and Chen Xunshun were trying every possible way to please Zheng Lin, and even Zheng Yanzhi couldn't help but gossip.
Carrie Lam's face, which was well-maintained, turned slightly red and said unnaturally: "Don't talk nonsense, Xiaozhi only knew each other when it comes to business transactions. Your aunt is old, so what else can you like or not? Don't just mention mandarin ducks."
"I don't believe it. Lu Li was just now holding food for his aunt, so it would definitely not be that simple." Zhang Yanzhi said with a smile.
"That's a bit far away. Your aunt can't hold you. Don't talk nonsense." Lin Zhengshi took Zhang Yanzhi's little hand and asked, "In the blink of an eye, Xiaozhi is fifteen years old this year. I heard that those who come to ask for marriage have stepped on the threshold of the Zheng family's old house in Xingyang. Did you pick the Ruyi Man?"
"Oh, no, no, no, no, no," Zheng Yanzhi was so depressed that she stamped her feet: "Auntie, my niece was so upset that she came to Suzhou to see you hide in peace. Now you mentioned it again..."
"Okay, okay, okay, don't mention it, don't mention it." When Carrie Lam was unhappy when she saw her niece, she quickly made her happy.
After Lu Ting left, Zheng Yanzhi was still laughing at her behind her back and walked slowly to her home with Fuzhi.
As I walked, I felt like I was stepping on something. Before I could come back to my senses, I heard a "click" sound. When I looked down, I was shocked: a crab with four fingers wide was stomped off by myself. In addition to two fat crab legs, golden crab paste flowed out of the ground.
Isn't this a hairy crab? It's at least five or six taels. Just stepping to death with one foot. It feels a pity to see the crab ointment on the ground. It's so beautiful to eat a few teeth-beating sacrifices in later generations. When Lu Ting set his eyes by the river, he suddenly felt a sense of loss: Oh my God, in the cracks of the rocks by the river, there are hairy crabs with fists on the beach. They are swimming around freely and carefreely...
The top-notch delicacy, in an instant, Lu Ting had a man walking in the wilderness, looking for food everywhere when he was hungry, but couldn't find it. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, blew down the tall grass in front, and then a large area of fat and strong cattle and sheep appeared in front of him.
