Episode 20 Fox House(2/2)
.
What I drank was Shaoxing rice wine. Rice wine is not popular in the north, but in Jiangnan, Jiangsu, Shanghai and Hangzhou, people like to drink it. During the dinner, Xiuxiu warmed the wine for everyone, poured the rice wine into a small tin pot, and then put it in hot water to warm.
When it's hot, pour it for everyone. Not to mention, for rice wine, the taste is very different between the stable and uncooked rice wine.
Xiang Xiaoqiang and several of his men were full of praise for the not-so-luxurious meal. Shang Xiaojun, Shang Xiu, and Ye Ziyu were all smiling happily.
Xiang Xiaoqiang was very happy and was drunk. Suddenly he saw something running past the door. It was small and yellow, definitely not a cat. He said "Ah", pointed at the door and said:
"What is that? It just ran past, yellow!"
As soon as he said that, several guards stared at the door. But there was nothing there.
Shang Xiaojun and his son and daughter looked at each other and smiled, looking a little embarrassed. Just when Xiang Xiaoqiang also felt embarrassed, Shang Xiaojun laughed and said:
"You read that right, that is...our Wong Tai Sin."
Xiang Xiaoqiang was startled: Huang...Daxian? From your family?
Xiuxiu also smiled and explained:
"Well... it's a weasel. It made a nest in our backyard, and we let it live here... Well, we used to have mice in our house, but since it moved in, there have been no more mice."
As Xiuxiu said, her mother and brother also laughed and looked at him with smiles.
The guards looked at each other and laughed at the scene. Xiang Xiaoqiang was startled for a moment, and then he also laughed.
He seemed to see the family in front of him: Shang Xiaojun, Shang Xiu, and Ye Ziyu all had a pair of yellow ears growing on their heads, and a big fluffy tail grew from behind them.
…
After dinner, Shang Xiaojun asked his daughter to clean up, and asked his son to invite everyone to sit in the front hall. The guards wanted to help clean up, but Shang Xiaojun refused to let them go no matter what, and asked his son to take everyone to the front hall to serve tea.
Then she sat in the wheelchair, lowering her head and thinking about it.
The empty dining room was very quiet. Xiang Xiaoqiang guessed that she had something to say to him and stood aside with her hands hanging down.
"Xiaoqiang," Shang Xiaojun finally said, "push me to the front yard and let's talk. I'm going to tell you something about Xiuxiu."
Xiang Xiaoqiang felt a shiver in his heart and started beating the drums.
