Fang Chengyin stared at the slightly creepy pork leg lying on the chopping board, and naturally thought of that day -
"Where did you buy the pork bones? Are they fresh? I am the magistrate's favorite. I have eaten all kinds of delicacies. Don't try to fool me."
"I saw a wild boar being killed this morning. It was so fresh. Didn't we catch any wild boars this year? Anyway, I have to at least give you a bowl of wild boar bone soup."
"Why don't you go now! If you starve a rich lady like me, go back and I'll have my father slap you eighty times!"
"Yes, yes! I'll go right away!"
…
The pork bone soup that day was really good. Actually, there was nothing special about it. It was just a handful of mushrooms. Fang Chengyin had eaten all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, but she had never tasted such delicious pork bone soup.
I really want to have another bowl.
…
"Boss, how much do you sell this pork leg for? Is it the same price as pork?"
"It's not the same price! This is the front leg of a pig. It's the best part of a pig, especially a wild boar. It's the best for soup or stew. Of course, the price is higher than other places. I won't sell this front leg for less than three cents!"
"Shopkeeper, you are so heartless. Why do you need so much? A few days ago... Hey, hey, hey, girl! I am negotiating the price! You insist on first come first served!"
Fang Chengyin didn't even look at the old man who was glaring at her, and threw three coins on the chopping board. Then she picked up the pig's front leg, mounted her horse, and left.
…
Nanshan Villa.
Fang Chengyin hung around the door for a while, but no one came out. She had no choice but to go and knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Gu Changlin opened the door and saw a neatly dressed girl standing at the door. In her hand was a... pig leg?
"Hello, old man. I'm here to... Hey? You are..." Fang Chengyin said hurriedly. Before she finished speaking, she realized that the old man in front of her looked very familiar. However, she stared at Gu Changlin for a long time and still couldn't remember where she had seen him. She said embarrassedly, "Old man, you look very familiar to me, but I just can't remember where I have seen you before. I'm so sorry."
"At Zhenweizhai." Gu Changlin was the first to remember. He took Meiya to Zhenweizhai for dinner that day. When they came out, they met Fang Chengyin, who was talking to Meiya at that time.
"Yes, yes, yes! You have a good memory, old man," Fang Chengyin remembered it immediately, patted her head and said with a smile, "Old man, I am so confused at such a young age, please forgive me."
"It's okay," Gu Changlin nodded to Fang Chengyin and asked, "Girl, are you here to see my Mei Ya?"
Fang Chengyin was startled, then quickly nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "Yes, yes, I went on a long trip a while ago, and I haven't seen Miss Meiya for a long time, so I came here specially to see her."
"She's fishing in the pond outside the wall. You can go find her yourself," Gu Changlin pointed to the back of the house and said to Fang Chengyin. He looked at the pork leg in Fang Chengyin's hand and said with a smile, "You are so polite, girl. You even brought such a heavy pork leg over here without complaining that it's heavy. Here, give it to me."
Fang Chengyin: "... Uncle, please hold it. It's really heavy."
After handing the pork leg to Gu Changlin, Fang Chengyin walked back along the path beside the wall. She grew up in Ningguta, but this was her first time here. Naturally, she didn't know there was such a large pond here, and she didn't know that the pond was full of lotus flowers at this time. Fang Chengyin couldn't help but sigh all the way as she walked over. She hadn't seen such beautiful lotus flowers for many years. Of course, it would have been even more beautiful if there weren't the two people on the boat.
Fang Chengyin suddenly stopped and looked from afar. Among the lotus leaves that reached the sky, a man and a woman were riding in a small boat. The man was rowing the boat, and the girl reached out to reach the lotus flowers and picked a big bunch. She didn't know what she said, but the man laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.
Fang Chengyin had never seen Kong Wenjie smile so brightly before, especially at this time when the setting sun was shining, the hazy yellow sunlight shining on his face, making the smile look even brighter. Fang Chengyin looked at him and smiled and nodded to the girl, and then the girl said something, and he laughed even harder, unable to straighten his body. Then he bent over and lay on the boat's beam, and pulled out a fishing basket from the water. The girl looked at the fish jumping happily in the fish basket, and immediately smiled. She hurriedly put down the lotus in her hand and went over to catch the fish. As a result, Kong Wenjie must have said something, and the girl didn't do it after all. She just watched the man take out the fish one by one, throw them into the wooden barrel at the bow of the boat, and then row the boat towards this side.
