Chapter 155 Qingming Tour
In the early morning, Mao Xi opened her eyes and saw that the sun was already shining for three poles.
I haven't felt so comfortable for a long time. I get up early and get busy on weekdays.
She just walked out of the room and wanted to see what Xiaodouzi was doing.
Unexpectedly, everyone was gone, and Mu Zhiyuan was alone in the yard playing with the local dog Little Skin Egg.
I looked at the kitchen and living room. Where had everyone else gone?
Seeing Mao Xi getting up, Mu Zhiyuan got up and went to the kitchen to heat breakfast: "When I came early in the morning, Aunt Chen took Xiaodouzi and Ajiao to fly a kite. They saw that you were sleeping soundly. Wake you up."
"That shop..."
"Lou Lan'er left early in the morning. I'll heat up the food for you."
She had always been taking care of everyone, but she was not used to being taken care of by everyone all of a sudden.
She could tell that the porridge was made from small beans, the mustard rice was light and refreshing, and there were two pickled cabbage pancakes.
After dressing up briefly, Mao Xi put on a light yellow skirt and the plum blossom silver hairpin.
Lou Lan'er has already wrapped up the food for going out and put it on the table.
Mao Xi opened it and took a look: there were green dumplings, millet rice crispy rice cakes, and peach blossom cakes.
"Sister Lan'er is so considerate." Before going out, Shui Xi untied Pi Dan's dog leash and let him play in the yard by himself.
Mu Zhiyuan held a swallow kite in his hand and asked Shu Xi: "Ah Shu, do you want to go to the suburbs first or go to Linglong Mountain?"
"I still want to go to the countryside, where there is a broad view, and there are many performances and storytellers..."
Last year at this time, she and Lou Laner were carrying food boxes to deliver meals to diners who were going to the theater for an outing.
At Si hour, we set off from Lihua Town.
In the suburbs, if you look around, you can see women, children, and young men and women flying kites all over the lawn.
Mao Xi scanned the lawn, trying to find his younger siblings.
"They came out early in the morning, and now they should go to Linglong Mountain to worship the gods."
Shu Xi wondered why Mu Zhiyuan knew A-Niang's schedule today: "Brother Mu, did you encourage A-Jiao to go out early in the morning?"
Yesterday, when he came to deliver kites to the shop and whispered to Ajiao, Mao Xi felt something was wrong.
Mu Zhiyuan just smiled and parked the carriage at the pavilion on the outskirts.
The pavilion was already full of people taking a rest.
The two of them went to fly a kite on the lawn. Although this was not the first time they were alone with Mu Zhiyuan, they had dug bamboo shoots and gathered fungi in the mountains before.
After cutting off the kite, we ate fruits and millet crispy rice on the lawn.
Brother Ying was hawking in the suburbs with a small bamboo basket, and Mao Xi called him over.
"Brother Ying, you have a half-day holiday today, why are you here selling snacks again?"
Only then did Brother Ying see the shopkeeper. He wanted to go around it, but he didn't expect to be discovered by Mao Xi first.
"There are many people in the early morning, so I still want to come here in the morning to sell some fruits and then go back to Baiyuan Village in the afternoon."
Now that she saw Brother Ying, Mao Xi couldn't help but want to know about today's business: "How is the business in the shop this morning?"
When talking about business, Brother Ying also got excited: "There were a lot of people coming to buy green dumplings and vegetarian rice early in the morning. Sister Lan'er also delivered several fruit cakes."
Mu Zhiyuan took Brother Ying's small basket and asked, "Brother Ying, did you bring some drinks to sell today?"
Brother Ying opened the snacks and took out the crisp pears and passion fruits on the side: "I just brought some fruits. Brother Mu, would you like two passion fruits?"
Mao Xi took two crisp pears and passion fruit: "Brother Ying, go back to the shop early to rest after selling. You don't have to come out during the afternoon holiday."
Brother Ying has been staying in the shop for a long time recently, and finally got a chance to go out and hawk on the street. He couldn't say how happy he was: "I'm not tired, Sister Ah Shu, I like to walk outside."
A tourist nearby called out Brother Ying, and he ran to sell fruits.
Only then did the atmosphere of solitude between the two return.
Mu Zhiyuan: "..."
Mao Xi: "Brother Mu, eat passion fruit."
Mao Xi felt a little embarrassed when they suddenly went out on a date, so she felt more comfortable going up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots together.
Fortunately, Brother Mu didn't say anything disgusting about love. Shui Xi breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the pear to nibble on it.
Mu Zhiyuan enjoyed spending time with Mao Xi, sitting next to her and eating passion fruit.
Zhemei also came to the outskirts and was flying a kite. She came to the river to see if Yu Xiaochuan was fishing in the pond.
Her absent-minded look was noticed by Mao Xi.
Sister Zhemei is flying a kite now. Don't wait until it falls to the river.
"Brother Mu, do you think the person flying the kite by the river is Sister Zhemei?"
Of course Mu Zhiyuan saw it, but he didn't want Zhemei to disturb his alone time with Mao Xi.
"Ah Xiao, layman Zhemei is probably looking for someone, so let's not disturb him."
Since we came out late, it was quickly approaching noon.
Mao Xi packed up the uneaten fruits and said to Mu Zhiyuan, "Brother Mu, let's go back to the shop and eat together."
Mu Zhiyuan drove the carriage, but turned around and went to Kaitang County.
"It's rare for you to have a rest today, so let's eat outside."
Seeing that Mu Zhiyuan drove the carriage to Kaitang County, Shui Xi thought he would go to Fanlou, but the carriage turned into a small alley.
The carriage finally stopped in front of a restaurant.
This shop is similar in scale to Mao Xi's Liuxiang Snacks, and it also sells snacks and home-cooked dishes.
The store is called Beiwei Shop.
They come, the security. Mu Zhiyuan ordered some dishes, some of which she had never heard of.
"Ah Shu, this shop sells home-cooked dishes and snacks from Beidu. Try them to see if they suit your taste."
When the dishes were all served, although the names of the dishes sounded a bit elegant to Mao Xi and she didn't remember them all, but judging from the appearance of the dishes, it was very similar to the Northeastern food she had eaten before traveling through time.
"Big bones with soy sauce, three kinds of ground delicacies, fried corn, pot-wrapped pork..." Mao Xi blurted out unconsciously.
Hearing the names of the dishes announced by Mao Xi, Mu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Haha, you can call these dishes whatever you want."
Regardless, let's try to see if the taste is authentic. The portions of these dishes are also large, enough for four people.
Mu Zhiyuan saw that Ma Xi grabbed the big bone and gnawed it, thinking that she liked this dish, so he quickly said: "Ah Ma, if you like it, eat it slowly and don't choke."
"Don't tell me, the taste is no different from what I've had before. It's so delicious!" Mao Xi finished chewing the big bone with soy sauce and added a piece of pot-roasted pork.
Mu Zhiyuan said in surprise: "Have you ever eaten Beidou food?"
Realizing that she had made a mistake, Ma Xi hurriedly added: "No, I tried to make it myself when I was researching the dishes. It was the ancient recipe book you gave me."
"Ding!" A prompt from the virtual mall appeared in front of me:
*** Mall L11 ***<Upgrade completed>
Unlock: <Recipes for Northeastern cuisine and obtain new blind box seeds>
"Northeastern cuisine! New blind box seeds?!"
Mao Xi ran through it quickly in her mind. As the system prompted, she was immediately familiar with the cooking techniques of Northeastern cuisine.
What will grow from these blind box seeds? Maybe it has something to do with Northeastern specialties.
She found an opportunity to open the mall and bought all the blind box seeds.
When leaving Kaitang County, she made a point of passing by the Xujiamipu where the explosion occurred.
Although shopkeeper Xu of the rice shop paid off the monthly payment owed to his employees.
However, due to his bad record, he was expelled from the Chamber of Commerce, and the workers were unwilling to work in his rice shop, so his business gradually disappeared.
The Xujia Mipu has now closed down, and the Mipu store has also been put up for sale.
