Chapter 54 October Dynasty, two bowls of noodles
His thinking state was quickly interrupted because he heard Ye Sangyu's voice.
Looking up, I saw Ye Sangyu and the boss lady talking at the counter, smiling and having a very good relationship.
There seemed to be a fire outside the inn, and Li Mengzhou found that the waiter was also tidying up the stove in the lobby.
Standing in the lobby and looking out, the vision suddenly became colorful. There was a bunch of fireworks flying over the deep alleys. The fireworks were like thousands of flowers blowing away by the east wind, falling like rain.
There are many people setting off fireworks in Ninglu City, and the whole city seems to be covered with brilliant colors and firelight.
Li Mengzhou was puzzled.
But I heard the voice of the boss lady: "Tomorrow is October, it is also the Ghost Festival, and it is the day to worship ancestors. In addition to customs and habits, the residents in the city will also become lively. This means that it will become colder day by day. For this reason, I have to send cold clothes to the deceased for winter. The living should also have some symbolic activities to hope that the cold weather will keep warm and make a good luck."
October is a traditional festival, and women should take out the made cotton coats on this day so that their children and husbands can change seasons.
If the weather is still warm and it is not suitable to wear cotton, you should also urge your children and husband to try it on for auspicious purposes.
Men are used to tidying up the stove and chimney on this day. After installation, they also try to ignite a fire to ensure smooth heating during cold weather.
In addition to general offerings such as food, incense, candles, paper money, etc., during sacrifices, there is also an indispensable offering - the underworld clothes.
During sacrifices, people burned the underworld clothes to their ancestors, which was called "sending cold clothes".
Li Mengzhou knew about this festival, but he didn't realize that it was tomorrow.
Worshiping ancestors...
Li Mengzhou sighed slightly, and his emotions suddenly became a little less high. Although he had always been very calm and had never risen.
Ye Sangyu couldn't help but feel homesick at this moment. When she looked at Li Mengzhou, she felt like she was suffering from the same illness.
Although she didn't know everything about Li Mengzhou, she heard from Li Mengzhou that he was an orphan. Compared to this, Ye Sangyu felt that she was too happy and should not be as willful as she was. She ran away from home without saying hello. How worried her family should be.
The boss's wife should be about the same age as Ye Sangyu's mother. At this moment, she held Ye Sangyu's little hand and gave her a little warmth.
Although the boss's wife didn't know what Ye Sangyu was thinking, it was not because of this that she held her hand.
Li Mengzhou felt something was wrong. Why did he see the cunning meaning in the boss's eyes, as if he was deliberately taking advantage of Ye Sangyu...
Two women?
He seemed to understand something, but he didn't quite understand.
The meal was ready, and there were no customers in the inn, so the boss's wife had dinner with Li Mengzhou and the others, while the waiter was alone.
Li Mengzhou remembered something vaguely and said, "Did you have a guest come again just now? Why didn't you ask him to come down to have dinner together?"
The boss lady said, "That person is quite strange. When he was staying in the hotel, he said that no one could disturb him, and he should not call him for supper. I don't know what he was doing."
Li Mengzhou frowned slightly and said nothing.
Of course, the meals on the table are not delicious. There is a plate of peanuts, a plate of fennel beans, and a plate of roasted eggplant. They are all vegetarian. The only meat is braised fish, but the appearance doesn't seem to be very good.
But Li Mengzhou thought that since he was a inn, it shouldn't be too unpalatable, so he put a piece of fish into his mouth after chopsticks.
Then his face turned blue.
It was originally a black face, but after it turned blue, it looked so...undescribable.
His whole face was wrinkled together. He looked at the boss lady opposite him and swallowed the fish with difficulty, saying, "How much salt did you put?"
The boss lady asked nervously: "Is it very salty?"
Li Mengzhou said with a dark face: "Please remove the word "What?"
The boss said oh and said casually: "Then let's eat it as a salted fish."
Although braised fish is not good, and the roasted eggplant is not good, fortunately, peanuts and fennel beans can be eaten, but it is obviously impossible to fill your stomach, and Li Mengzhou felt very uncomfortable.
The boss's target seemed to be peanuts and fennel beans. In order to ensure that the only two foods that can be eaten, Li Mengzhou decisively snatched the food.
Therefore, this supper was quite lively.
Ye Sangyu basically didn't eat much. Although she was delicious, it did not include unpalatable food, so she was also in pain.
When I returned to the room, I covered my stomach and tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't sleep.
Li Mengzhou could only take out the remaining snacks and let Ye Sangyu give it a try.
Ye Sangyu lay on the bed, eating snacks while looking at Li Mengzhou who was standing in front of the window for some unknown reason, and said, "Do you think there will be snow geese flowers in the capital?"
Li Mengzhou had never been to the capital, but he still thought for a while and said, "Although the snow geese flowers are rare, they should have everything in the capital of Jiangguo."
Ye Sangyu seems to have a special liking for snow geese flowers, but Li Mengzhou has only heard of snow geese flowers and has never seen them either. But I think the flowers that Ye Sangyu misses should be very beautiful.
The two of them whispered something, and soon the room became quiet because Ye Sangyu fell asleep unknowingly.
Li Mengzhou helped her tuck her quilt and stood in front of the window again.
The night rain in Fengjiang County comes at any time, especially in Ninglu, which is a common thing. First, there was a wind blowing, rustling the river, and then a thunderstorm.
If lightning strikes alone, if you live alone and are sneaky, you will probably be very scared.
Li Mengzhou thought of the person who lived in the west wing who wrapped himself in an airtight manner.
He was just a little hungry, so he had some random thoughts.
The supper just now was not enough to make him full, and even felt like he hadn't eaten.
He suddenly felt that it was a miracle that this inn could be opened.
If you are hungry, you will naturally not be able to sleep well.
He wondered if he was going to the inn kitchen to find out if there were any ingredients, and if the boss was reluctant to cook with the ingredients, he deliberately made things that could not be eaten.
The boss’s cooking skills are really bad. The amount of peanuts and fennel beans is small. The only fish I made was broken. In the end, the waiter forced him to eat it. However, the boss’s wife did not feel sorry for the fish. Li Mengzhou felt that there must be a lot of ingredients in the kitchen.
This is indeed a black shop, and the boss’s heart is too dark.
He carefully pushed open the door and touched the kitchen.
The inn is very quiet, without a trace of light. Fortunately, Li Mengzhou has good eyesight and will not bump into anything.
The boss’s wife and the waiter both live in the store. There are not many houses on the second floor, so the boss’s wife has to occupy one, while the waiter directly uses the floor shop in the lobby.
Li Mengzhou went down the stairs and tried not to disturb the waiter, as if he was a thief.
As expected, there were fruits, vegetables and meat in the kitchen. I grabbed a tomato and ate it. Li Mengzhou found the prepared noodles and simply made two bowls of noodles based on the ingredients.
Ye Sangyu didn't eat much at first, so she must be hungry now, and she might wake up soon. Li Mengzhou prepared a bowl of noodles for her.
He returned to the east wing room on the second floor with two bowls of noodles. Ye Sangyu was indeed not completely asleep. When he smelled the fragrance of noodles, he was subconsciously awakened.
“What is it?”
Ye Sangyu was very excited. Although there were no candles in the room, she could not see anything.
Li Mengzhou put two bowls of noodles on the table, lit a candle, and then replied: "I made two bowls of noodles casually. If you feel hungry, eat a little."
Ye Sangyu said hesitantly: "You won't get fat like this."
Li Mengzhou couldn't help rolling his eyes. You ate so much along the way, why aren't you afraid of getting fat, but now you are pretentious.
After Li Mengzhou's persuasion against his will, Ye Sangyu decisively gave up the question of whether he would gain weight. After all, the delicious food in the world cannot be disappointed.
Just like when Li Mengzhou first made fried rice for Ye Sangyu, it was delicious when he was extremely hungry. Moreover, Li Mengzhou thought that his cooking skills were pretty good, at least much better than the boss's wife.
So Ye Sangyu quickly ate a bowl of noodles, and Li Mengzhou added minced meat to the noodles, which made the bowl of noodles a little more delicious.
He patted his belly with satisfaction, Ye Sangyu yawned, and his eyes were blurred.
Li Mengzhou sent the two empty bowls back to the kitchen, put them in a pile of dirty dishes that were not washed at all, and then slowly returned to the room.
Ye Sangyu was lying on the table, as if she was asleep.
Li Mengzhou closed the door and was stunned for a moment, as if he was savoring his empty state after eating, and then he thought about carrying Ye Sangyu back to the bed.
However, after placing Ye Sangyu flat on the bed, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
Ye Sangyu's face was covered with sweat, and her face was a little too pale, which was obviously not as simple as falling asleep.
I reached out and stroked her forehead, it was very hot.
And it was not ordinary hot, Li Mengzhou subconsciously thought that if he put an egg on it, it would be cooked soon.
Suddenly, I felt that this idea was a bit inappropriate. Ye Sangyu was obviously sick, and not a minor illness.
Li Mengzhou was a little at a loss. Although he had been with Mr. Long, who was a pharmacist, for three years, he didn't know medicine at all. Moreover, he was not familiar with Ninglucheng at night, so he didn't know who to look for.
The only person who could ask for help was the boss's wife. Li Mengzhou immediately ran out of the room and rushed towards the room where the boss's wife lived.
The boss's wife's room was not far from the east wing, only two rooms. Because of her urgency, Li Mengzhou did not knock on the door and broke in directly.
Then he looked ahead and stiffened.
The boss lady looked back at him silently, and the atmosphere seemed even more strange.
There was no candlelight in the room, but the door was opened very loudly. Of course, the boss lady knew what had happened to her.
Of course, this is not the most important thing.
She is now like a half-tied person. Whether the person who opens the door can see it or not, it is a very shameful thing.
Perhaps the boss's wife can comfort herself by using the dim vision and the other party can't see it.
But Li Mengzhou really saw it.
And I saw everything I could see.
Not to mention his amazing vision, the windows in the room are also open, and although the moonlight outside is very light, it can always illuminate some of the vision.
This was the first time Li Mengzhou saw a woman... so his head was a little confused.
