Chapter 102 The Woman in Red Appears Again
The dragon boats by the river have been dried in the sun, and the village head is leading people to paint the dragon boats there. Half of the painting is already done, and it looks very majestic.
Surrounded by a row of children, it is strange to see.
Xu Zhengyi naturally walked to the group of children and blended in with everyone.
Tang Yuanming and Xu Zhengfeng were very relieved that their children finally had friends.
The village chief looked at the two of them, his eyes paused slightly, and his heart was a little complicated. In the past, the village didn't like them and didn't understand their abilities. I am like a clown, too clueless.
"Yuanming, Zhengfeng, are you here?"
The two nodded and didn't know what to say, the idea was that they were not familiar with the village chief.
The village chief didn't mind the cold attitude of the two of them either. He was the elder, so why should he blame the younger generation for not being enthusiastic about him?
The rest of the villagers looked at the two of them and nodded slightly, as a greeting.
Tang Yuanming circled the dragon boat to see if there was any problem with the boat. This time, Xu Zhengfeng participated in the boat. If there was any problem with the boat, he was afraid that he would be injured.
After inspection, the hull is solid and all is well.
Then he stood by the river and watched.
The dragon boat race is held in Anhe, and a straight and wide river is specially selected as the venue for the dragon boat race.
The surface of the river is blown by the breeze with small waves, and the afterglow sprinkles on the waves, which looks sparkling.
Xu Zhengfeng came over and stood side by side with Tang Yuanming, "Yuanming, what are you looking at?"
Tang Yuanming still looked into the distance, "I didn't see anything, I just looked forward."
He became more and more like an expert, Xu Zhengfeng smiled slightly, stood quietly aside, and watched together.
……
On the way back, the two children were chattering about the grandeur of the dragon boat and so on. The excitement seemed to be the same as the Dragon Boat Festival tomorrow.
It was rare for Xu Zhengyu not to be hugged by Tang Yuanming, and he followed obediently, "Brother Ming, please cook something delicious for me."
Before Tang Yuanming could answer, Xu Zhengyi said again, "Brother Ming, I also want to eat something delicious, something sweet."
Xu Zhengfeng took a look at Tang Yuanming, he was entangled by these two greedy cats, and it would be difficult to get away.
Tang Yuanming's smile gradually deepened, "What do you want to eat?"
Xu Zhengyu, the king of cheers, "Brother Ming can make anything delicious, you can do anything."
Xu Zhengyi nodded, "Yes, eating brother Ming's cooking is the happiest thing in the world."
Xu Zhengfeng lowered his head, there was no reason to refuse now.
Tang Yuanming looked at the two children, he was actually very pitiful. It was really distressing to have no parents at such a young age, "Okay, brother Ming will cook you something very delicious, sweet."
Xu Zhengyu's eyes widened slightly, his foodie nature was undoubtedly revealed, "Brother Ming, what are you doing?"
Tang Yuanming smiled mysteriously, "Keep it secret, you will know when it's done."
Xu Zhengyi licked his lips, "Brother Ming, when will it be ready?"
"It won't be long. I'll make it for you when I get home. You can play in the yard for a while. Brother Ming will take it out for you when it's done."
"Okay." The two children agreed happily.
……
Back home, prepare eggs, flour, water, white pond.
Separate the egg yolk from the egg white, beat the egg yolk with chopsticks until the color is whitish and frothy.
Pour the flour into a bowl, pour in the beaten egg, add sugar and mix well in one direction.
Put a little oil in the pan, pour in the stirred cake liquid, and fry until cooked.
Xu Zhengfeng added a little firewood to the stove, and slowly roasted it on a very small fire.
The aroma of the mixture of eggs and flour slowly came out of the pot.
Xu Zhengfeng smelled the fragrance and asked curiously, "Yuan Ming, what are you doing?"
"This is cake."
"Cake?" Xu Zhengfeng chewed these two words twice in his mouth, which was quite appropriate, "Do you want to eat like this in a while?"
Tang Yuanming thought for a while, "Wait a minute, I still have to prepare something."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and went to the vegetable field, picked some tomatoes, washed some green dates, and cut the plantains they picked home into small pieces.
Finally, spread the red, white, and light yellow fruit pulp on the cake in three fan shapes, and pour honey.
"Zhengfeng, it's alright, come on, have a look, how about it?"
Xu Zhengfeng looked around and said with a smile, "This cake is amazing."
Tang Yuanming was actually quite satisfied, "It would look better if there was cream, but that's fine."
"What is cream?"
"It's also a kind of food, specially made for cakes."
"Then can you do it?"
Tang Yuanming smiled, "This may be a bit difficult."
"Then don't embarrass you, just eat this kind of food, it's also very good."
"I can try it later."
"can."
Bring the cake to the yard, "Zhengyu, come over to eat the cake."
Xu Zhengyi was reading at the table and saw a novel and unique cake, his mouth had already become an "O" shape, "Brother Ming, is this a cake?"
Tang Yuanming took the sliced bamboo and divided the cake into pieces, put them on plates, and brought them to Xu Zhengyi, "Taste, the sweet food you want."
Xu Zhengyu ran over and spread out his two little hands, "Brother Ming, I want it too."
"Okay, Brother Ming will give you a piece too."
Divide the cake and give them the spoon, "Eat it."
"Ah."
"Come on, Zhengfeng, try it too."
Xu Zhengfeng smiled faintly, "Okay."
Under the grape arbor, each person has a piece of cake, very warm and sweet.
……
in town.
One after another, carriages drove in from outside the town, making the already lively town even more lively.
One of them stopped at the door of Jiatianxia Baozi Shop, the curtain was lifted, and a person came out, took a deep breath, "It smells so good."
The driver driving the car pointed directly at the steamed stuffed bun shop, "That's where the aroma comes from."
The man jumped out of the carriage and pointed in one direction, "Pull the carriage aside, I'll go shopping."
"Okay sir."
The young master tidied up his clothes, strode over and started queuing up, "Tsk tsk tsk, there must be too many people in this steamed stuffed bun shop, and they are still queuing up."
After the people in line in front heard about it, they turned around and kindly told him, "Master, I don't know, this steamed stuffed bun is not only delicious, but also has the effect of curing diseases and health, and it only sells [-] a day, why don't you order it sooner?" Come, you won’t be able to buy it.”
After the young master heard this, he was amazed, "So amazing?"
"That's right, my headache from time to time is just eating steamed stuffed buns."
The young master was surprised and couldn't help asking, "How do you know?"
"Since I ate their buns, I don't have a headache anymore."
The young master nodded again and again, "Interesting, interesting, I want to see what is so good about this bun in a while."
After getting the steamed stuffed bun, I sniffed it closely and was very satisfied. "It really smells delicious. I've never seen such a sweet steamed stuffed bun."
Then climbed into the carriage and drove away.
Xu Zhengfeng looked at the back of the young master leaving, and muttered to himself, "Why does this look familiar?"
The steamed stuffed buns were reduced one by one, and soon they reached the bottom, and those who didn't buy them had to leave regretfully, and had to wait for the next day to queue up early.
According to the usual practice, clean the shop, pack the tables and chairs, close the door and go home.
Just as the door was closing, the woman in red appeared again, still in the same red dress, with such a beautiful face, as if nothing had changed, "Brother, can you help me find out?"
Xu Zhengfeng looked down at Xu Zhengyu who was hiding behind him, feeling a little uneasy, but fortunately the woman had no intention of harming others, so she spoke calmly, "I found out about Xu Qingmo."
The woman in red looked happy, "Where did he go?"
Ok?
Xu Zhengfeng was stunned for a moment, "I don't know where he went, but I only found out that he was from my ancestors."
The woman in red was obviously taken aback, "He is from your ancestors? Is that related to you by blood?"
Xu Zhengfeng nodded, "Yes."
The woman in red seemed to change her face, and her expression suddenly became fierce, "Are you his descendant?"
Xu Zhengfeng thought to himself that this woman was so strange, "Don't get me wrong, he is a cousin, and I am not his descendant."
The woman in red changed her face again in a second, but this time she was calm and even smiled, "Then does he have any descendants?"
Xu Zhengfeng asked instead, "Dare to ask, what is your relationship with her?"
The woman in red had a smile on her face, but her eyes were covered with a trace of sadness, "I'll tell you about this later when I find him."
Xu Zhengfeng became more and more strange, "Girl, Xu Qingmo was born more than 100 years ago and has already been reincarnated. How did you find him?"
The woman in red slowly lowered her head, yes, it was more than 100 years ago, how to find him?
"Then do you know what happened to him afterwards?"
Xu Zhengfeng shook his head, "I don't quite understand what you mean, but I asked the old people in the village, and they all said that Xu Qingmo did something that was kept secret. They were young at that time and didn't know what happened, so No way to tell."
The mood of the woman in red changed from cloudy to clear, making it unclear what she was thinking, "Something that is kept secret?"
"Correct."
After being silent for a while, the woman in red raised her eyes, "Can you take me to see his grave?"
Xu Zhengfeng shook his head, "Sorry, I don't know where his grave is."
The woman in red was very surprised, "Aren't you his descendant? How could you not know his grave?"
"He wasn't in our village when he passed away, so naturally I don't know about it." Xu Zhengfeng also felt strange when he thought about it now, Xu Qingmo was his ancestor, but he didn't see his grave.
The woman in red muttered to herself, "How did this happen? Then where did he go?"
Xu Zhengfeng looked at the woman in red, and asked Chi Chi, "Do you have to find him?"
In a moment, the woman in red was in tears, "This is my wish, I must find him, otherwise I..."
Xu Zhengfeng had hardly seen a woman cry, so he was a little at a loss, "Don't cry, don't cry, we'll find a solution slowly."
It took a long time for the woman in red to calm down, "Is there anything you can do?"
Xu Zhengfeng didn't know how to answer her, "Well, let's go find someone together and ask him if there is anything he can do?"
"Who are you looking for?" The woman in red couldn't help raising a glimmer of hope.
"You'll know it when you see it."
