Shi Zai hadn't seen his two little playmates for a long time. He was sitting on a small stool holding a small bowl and feeding them. From time to time, he would grab a handful of seeds from the small bowl and sprinkle them.
Dadai and Erdai seem to have lost some weight, and are in good spirits. They are happily being fed.
Wild geese can't stand the cold in the north, so every year they fly south to spend the winter and come back in spring. However, leaving the city is like spring all year round, which is exactly their favorite season.
Although they were a little uncomfortable when they first came here, they fell in love with it in just half a month and thought it was a good place where they could stay forever.
Su Wan was sitting on a chair nearby, watching the cubs feeding Dutou. She asked the person on the side who usually helped feed them: "How much do they eat on weekdays? I see they have lost some weight."
The other party was a teenage girl. Seeing the mistress asking questions, she felt a little uneasy and stuttered a bit.
She said: "This is because the guards in the mansion asked them to feed less. They said that Madam's geese were really... too fat... so they fed them less, and they even took them out to tame them." , this is the best.”
The main reason is that this pair of wild geese are quite old. If they are still so chubby and immobile, they may not be able to keep them for a few years. If they are well tamed and kept healthy, they can live for a few more years.
It happened that the two wild geese suddenly changed places. They were not used to everything, so the guards of the mansion said something to Uncle Zhong and took away the big one and the second one.
Su Wan nodded: "Thank you for your help."
Su Wan also knew that they had raised these two wild geese to be too fat. Like two big geese, they could no longer even fly. She would be very happy if someone could help tame them.
Seeing that Su Wan didn't mean to blame, the girl felt relieved and said, "Whatever Madam said, this is our responsibility."
In Licheng, there is no such thing as a deed of sale. The buying and selling of people is not allowed, and no one calls himself a servant. The people who serve in each house all have deeds (contracts). They are in the house. When they go to work, the government pays them wages, just like hiring them to do work.
And when these people call themselves themselves, they often call themselves me, subordinates, etc.
Shi Zai finished feeding the big one and the two stupid ones, and then took them for a walk in the yard. The two stupid ones opened the way in front of them aggressively, as if they were two goose generals about to go out for a fight.
Su Wan asked Shuxiang to follow, and he went to sit at the waterside pavilion for a while. The waterside pavilion was built next to the lotus pond. The lotus pond was not big, about seventy square meters. There were lotus flowers and koi carps in it. The beauty of the waterside pavilion is right up there, where you can feed the koi in the water.
Someone brought her hot tea: "Madam, this is the lotus tea I just made a few days ago. Summer is the time to eat lotus flowers. The kitchen has made some lotus cakes, lotus cakes, and fried lotus cakes. Madam, try it." It doesn’t suit your taste if you try it.”
Su Wan walked in the yard for a while and felt thirsty and hungry, so she ate some lotus tea. Lotus cake is made of lotus petals into flower paste, filled with sugar, pine nuts, and sesame seeds, and then baked. Make it into a cake, open it and take a bite, your mouth will be full of sweetness and crispiness.
Lotus cake is made by drying lotus flowers and grinding them into powder, then adding some rice flour and steaming them together. This lotus cake has two layers of color, one is pink and the other is off-white. It is very fragrant, soft and delicious when you bite it.
Fried lotus cakes are made by wrapping the petals in batter and frying them in oil. They taste crispy and have no taste, but they are very fragrant. Su Wan thought to himself, if they sprinkled with cumin or thirteen incense, it would be really delicious. Incredibly delicious.
The tea is also good, made from the finest Biluochun. The lotus fragrance is not strong, but faint and faint, making you feel like you want to follow the fragrance.
There is a cool breeze blowing in the waterside pavilion. It is really a beautiful thing to enjoy the scenery and drink tea here. Just sitting like this, leaning against the beauty and shaking the white ball fan, I feel that my whole heart has calmed down.
Shi Zai sneaked around the yard and ran around twice. When he reached the waterside pavilion, there was already some sweat on his forehead. Su Wan wiped his sweat with a handkerchief and fanned him with a fan. Order someone to bring him some warm water.
Children, it is better to drink less tea.
Shizai drank warm water and ate a piece of lotus cake and lotus cake. He couldn't say whether he liked them or not. The food made by the chef at home was not bad, but he thought it was average due to his picky mouth.
On the other hand, the fried lotus cakes were fragrant, crispy, and made a crunching sound when bitten. He really liked them and ate three of them in a row. Su Wan asked him not to eat any more, so he stopped and sat down obediently. He went to his mother's side and looked at her eagerly.
Su Wan reached out and touched his little head, with a smile on her lips: "Why is my little boy so good today?"
Shi Zai poked his finger, and then said: "Dad, tell Zai Zai to listen to mother."
Su Wan said, "When?"
"In the morning, before mother got up, dad said that he is very busy these days, Zaizai must listen to mother, and then, then..."
"Then what?"
"Then bring interesting toys to Zai Zai."
Su Wan's hand touching his head paused: "My dear, you don't have to tell me this reason."
Oh, I thought I was kind, cute, and full of motherhood.
It turned out to be for toys.
The truth is so cruel that my heart will be broken.
Su Wan reached out and covered her heart, not wanting to pay attention to her baby at the moment.
Shizai didn't understand the old mother's heartbreak at all. He sat on the beauty's back and looked at the koi swimming in the pond. He reached out and pulled the old mother's sleeve: "Mother, Shizai wants to feed the fish."
Su Wan had no choice but to have someone fetch fish food and gave him some: "Feed him slowly, don't spread it all at once, or I won't give it to you by then."
Shizai hummed twice, took the fish food in the small bag, sat cross-legged on the beauty's back, and threw the fish food into the pool one by one through the grid of the beauty's back, looking at the brocade in the water. Carps swim around to grab food.
Although he is young, he is really smart. His parents usually teach him not to stand up and lie on top of a beauty, nor to turn over, but he still listens very well.
Su Wan shook her fan and watched the debt collector lower his head and count fish food with a serious look. She couldn't help but smile.
In the world, there has always been gains and losses, and she was still very reluctant to leave her hometown. After all, most of her relatives were there, but if she didn't marry Li Lin, there would be no Ashi.
Maybe she would marry someone else and give birth to a child, but that person would no longer be Ashi.
She wiped his forehead with a handkerchief: "How many times have you counted?"
"Six!" He counted six fish food, then threw them into the pond one by one, and then counted six more, and so on.
Su Wan was a little surprised: "Why is it six?"
Shizai said with a serious face: "Because of Liuliu's great success."
Su Wan's hand waving the fan paused.
My darling, are you going to change your career to become a magic stick?
