Chapter 90 Wine dumplings

The arrows were like meteors, one after another, hitting the red heart with one arrow, and the other one rarely deviated, leaving only one finger wide.

Pei Xingzhi smiled and squinted his eyes, and the applause was thunderous. The people around him cheered without hesitation. They witnessed a wonderful and exciting shooting art competition.

It's a pity to say that it's fifty steps away from the Red Heart, but it's the result of a teenager who is nearly eleven years old. It's not easy. Whether it's strength or accuracy, it makes people sigh that it's better than the top. However, Pei Shuo's performance is even more eye-catching. He actually hits the Red Heart steadily. The boy was not as young as the young man, and he can be called a sharpshooter!

"I am worthy of being the eldest son of the founding marquis. His son Xiaofu will become a great talent in the future!" The teacher praised, and in a blink of an eye, he affirmed Pei Xingzhi's achievements. Pei Shuo and Pei Xingzhi were humbly taught.

Yingniang under the tree stamped her feet and was upset: "Oh, it's such a pity, it's just a little bit!"

A Yao was excited, but because Yingniang was present and Pei Xingzhi's fan, she didn't have much affection for Pei Shuo and didn't dare to jump up, but the smile on her face could not be suppressed no matter what.

Yingniang glanced at her and touched A Yao's shoulders: "Go quickly, look at you, look at him, his eyes are like the support cake you made, sticky, and you can't even move away."

"Aren't you angry?" A Yao was surprised, "If you are angry, I will not be able to go over and accompany you to calm your mood."

"What nonsense? What's the point of being sad about me?" Yingniang smiled and cursed, touched A Yao's shoulder and pointed at the archery field: "Look at your Pei Lang, look at you."

Following her green fingers, she met Pei Shuo's eyes in the air. The boy was full of energy, raised his bow at her, bent his eyebrows with a smile, and shouted from the air: "A Yao, how did I perform just now?"

"Great!" A Yao also shouted, revealing a one-sided dimples and waved at Pei Shuo.

"Yi——" Ying Niang shook off her chicken skin and covered her eyes: "Hurry up and go over, I feel like my eyes are blinded. Pay attention to the influence. What should those students say?"

A Yao opened her mouth and couldn't say anything. When Yingniang mentioned the outsider, she panicked and swept to the students next to Pei Shuo. They were all surrounded Pei Shuo and Pei Xingzhi, making a lot of noise, and didn't notice her. A Yao put her hips on her hips: "Okay, tease me, look at me not to scratch you."

Yingniang lifted her skirt and hid behind the tree.

Pei Xingzhi invited Pei Shuo: "Brother, a new foot shop selling wine is opened in Lu'an Lane. It tastes pretty good. Can you try it? It can be considered a celebration for you."

"Why call me if you have something good!"

"that is."

The students next to them were not convinced and shouted, insisting on letting the two Pei brothers who were in the limelight today to treat each other. The spring was chilly, and eating a bowl of wine was warm all over. Moreover, at their age, they were not allowed to touch the strong wine at home. But they had smelled it but few were really allowed to drink. The wine was a compromise, which just satisfies their desire to taste fresh.

"Brother, let's go eat together, or who will make it for you?" Pei Xingzhi instigated.

Pei Shuo turned his head, his eyes flashed slightly, and he agreed lazily: "Yes, the class has been finished now, so let's just go there now."

Pei Xingzhi called his friends and a group of students left the school ground in a mighty manner.

Before leaving, Pei Shuo looked back at A Yao. They were playing under the tree, and then they left with a chat and laugh.

Suddenly the air became quiet. A Yao and Ying Niang were out of breath on the other side of the hillside, and then they realized that the water and rivers had already flown away from the archery, and the grass under the railing nodded in the wind.

"Where are they all?" Yingniang walked forward a few steps and looked around.

"I just heard them say where they were going to play, so I didn't pay attention." A Yao calmed down and took a good breath, "Then let's go back. get out of class is early today, what are you going to do later?"

Yingniang thought for a while and said, "That's right, let's go see the makeup powder? After winter, the scent of the hosta has lost its fragrance, so the scent of the hosta can't be used anymore. I heard that Huajianzhai has made a new batch of pearl powder, which is made of cooked amanita and sesame oil to make powder, and it is moistened on my face. I plan to buy a box for Ah Niang. Good A Yao, can you accompany me to take a look?"

...

In Lu'an Lane, Pei Shuo looked around with his hands behind his back.

Speaking of which, Lu'an Lane is not far from Nanxun Caotang. After passing through three main streets, I walked near the path after taking the banyan tree. I smelled a scent of wine from afar. When I got closer, I saw a big umbrella at the entrance of the alley. Under the umbrella was a small cart stall. The fragrance floated out from one of the pots.

Walking along Lu'an Lane to the end, you will find the street leading to the West City. There are a wide range of rouge, gold and silver hairpins, and silk and brocade sold there. There are several famous old brands.

The alleys in Lu'an Lane are quiet, and a melodious singing of a certain courtyard with pink walls and green tiles floats from the melodious songs. A branch of peach blossoms crosses the wall, and the petals on the branches are heavy. The wind blows by, and the nose is not only the fragrance of peach blossoms falling in late spring, but also the fragrance of powder.

Pei Xingzhi was the leader of this trip. He arranged the seats of his classmates and told the boss lady who was cooking round pieces that each person had a bowl, and then greeted Pei Shuo, who was in the depths of Lu'an Lane: "Brother, come and sit here, what are you looking at?"

"Nothing." When Pei Shuo spoke, his eyes fell into the boss's pot again.

"Does...Brother, are you looking at Feiyan's family?" Pei Xingzhi pretended to guess. The people at his table were curious and asked who Feiyan was. Pei Shuo also glanced at him, as if he was interested in his words.

He enjoyed the attention of everyone and then said, "Feiyan lives in the yard with red lanterns. She is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and it is no problem to recite poems and essays. Her sister Feixia is about the same age as us and is also familiar with the Four Books."

"Will Feixia recite poems right?" But some people disagree.

Pei Xingzhi: "Their family admires talented people very much. They hold poetry meetings or tea banquets from time to time, and invite talented people to recite poems and write poems together. Maybe they can even get into Feiyan's eyes and talk to her at night. I thought my elder brother wanted to visit Feiyan's house."

"If you don't say it, I really don't know that there is a hidden dragon. My second brother knows the talent of his daughter's house in his boudoir. It seems that he visits a lot on weekdays." Pei Shuo retorted, and he already understood in his heart that Lu'an Lane is a place where famous prostitutes live.

But you must not let A Yao know, otherwise she will make trouble, well, you can't ask for trouble.

"Ah sneezing!" A Yao sneezed halfway through, and someone muttered to me. She rubbed her nose, and then the strong fragrance of powder came in. Her nose was itchy and sneezing again.

Ying Niang was concerned: "Is the pollen here too fragrant? It will be great after this section, Huajianzhai is right in front of you."

"Maybe yes."

The boss's wife steamed the glutinous rice in advance, mixed it into the wine koji to make wine. The sugar and wine simmered together, and the air wafted out the sour and sweet smell of rice wine. This was what they smelled when they first came. They drank small round pieces, which floated on the water, white and fat, as white as jade, and more like small snowballs pinched in winter.

The small glutinous rice balls float and can be scooped up to serve the bowl. Finally, the boss’s wife added a small spoonful of sugar osmanthus made last autumn. The golden osmanthus is like the ginkgo falling from autumn, floating on the surface of the wine-making rounds, adding a bit of nobility to this bowl of home-cooked dessert in life.

The round seed has no filling, is very small, soft and glutinous, and it has no taste. It depends entirely on the sweet and sweet wine and sugar osmanthus seasoning, but it is not simply sweet and greasy, and it has a bit of sour and wine flavor.

"It tastes pretty good. Xingzhi, you have chosen a good place." Others felt it was good after eating it. There was no need for others to persuade him and asked the boss to have another bowl.

Pei Xingzhi narrowed his eyes and asked like a fox, "What about big brother, do you like to eat wine?"
