Chapter 300 The magpie arrives at the door, and there are many happy events
Time is in a hurry, Qiu Chen has been gone for more than 20 days, from early summer to midsummer. After leaving after the Dragon Boat Festival, it is about to come back on June 6.
The trees are shady, the grass and trees are verdant, the wheat in the field is cut, the autumn grains of all colors are changed, the lotus flowers in the lotus pond in front of the door are also fragrant and fragrant to bloom all over the pond, the lotus leaves are infinitely green, the lotus flowers are different red in the sun, take advantage of the late bursts of frog chirping, know the sound, but in this hot season, in the cool of the pu fan waving leisurely become quiet and peaceful.
Qiu Chen looked at the few ears of golden corn in the pot at this moment, smelling the familiar aroma that had been separated for too long, and couldn't help but smile. People break corn with big and full ears, but because she wants to keep the seeds, she can only pick the thin and shriveled ones, and in this way, the broken ears of corn have to be cut into wheels before they can be distributed to the children of the family.
However, this stubble of spring corn finally did not disappoint her, after careful artificial pollination, most of the ears of corn are mature and full, the ears are large and the grains are many, these ears are relatively thin and shriveled, and the length of the ears of corn is more than 13 centimeters, and the corn kernels are not the kind of distant one, which shows that pollination is still very successful.
"Auntie, what is this, it's delicious!" Junli used chopsticks to insert a piece of corn and gnawed happily, and the corners of his mouth and cheeks were full of corn ballast.
Qiu Chen wiped the little boy's mouth, hugged the little boy who was obviously much stronger, and said, "This is corn, and it came by boat from the other side of the sea." ”
"Hey, this one also came by boat, and that horse bell also came by boat......" Xiao Junli leaned his head back on Qiu Chen's arms, blinking his eyes and sighing. When the poplar called the bell a few times, the name of the potato was ignored, and they all remembered this more vivid nickname. From this, Qiu Chen also understood that most of the people in the village had all kinds of crooked names, screaming and screaming, and some even forgot what their real names were.
"Junli has such a good memory, I still remember that the potatoes came by boat!" Qiu Chen touched Junli's brain, smiled and praised, and watched Ah Fu lean on his side obediently, eat corn in small bites, and stretched out his hand to grab Ah Fu. Compared with Junli's careless shouting, Ah Fu didn't know if it was too early to enlighten him, he was a little too regular at a young age, and he lost the naughtiness that a Tao boy should have, which always made Qiu Chen feel distressed.
Junli has always been the youngest in the family, much loved by the second elder of the Yang family and his mother, after coming to Liu Jiaao, first grandparents and parents are in front of him, and there are many brothers, but it is a different place, but there is more love from the aunt, and I don't feel unfamiliar, after that, the second elder of the Yang family and the Zhao family went back to the Yang family's shop, Junli is somewhat lost, but there is still a father to take care of, and at night they are all sleeping with the poplar tree, this time, even the father also returned home, the little boy is obviously a little lost, and he is wilted all day, There was obviously a lot less to eat, Qiu Chen felt sorry for him, so he took him with him from time to time, teasing this kid and joking.
"Oh, isn't that far?" Junli tilted his big head, his upper body was all leaning on Qiu Chen's arm, blinking his eyes, and asking vaguely.
Qiu Chen smiled, seeing that even Junwen Junshu looked curious, so he pondered and smiled: "Well, it's far, it's far, it's far, it's far." ”
After a pause, Qiu Chen continued: "Your brothers have all seen the sea, but they have never seen a sea boat, the sea ship is several times larger than the ship we have seen, riding the wind and waves, crossing the vast sea, and going to the other side of the sea. Potatoes and corn are all things on the other side of the sea, and our Ming ship brought beautiful silk and porcelain that they didn't have anywhere to sell, and when they returned, they would also bring some things that we didn't have here...... Can any of you tell me what came from the other side of the sea? ”
"Glass mirror!" Junzhang was the first to answer.
"Clairvoyance!" Junyan is not far behind.
"Self-owned people, clocks and watches......" Ah Fu did not rush to answer, but said a string of words as soon as he opened his mouth.
Junli fell behind the most, blinking his eyes: "Corn, horse bells, persimmons...... And chili! ”
Hehe, the little guy is not bad, and besides, it is full of food as soon as he opens his mouth.
The family was talking and laughing, and it was late at night, so Qiu Chen took Junli and Ah Fu back to the house together. This time, Qiu Chen didn't use the girl, she personally bathed the two boys, dried them one by one, hugged them on the kang, stuffed them into the tent, and watched the two boys smile and poke me, I teased you to play, she just gave a few instructions, and let Yufeng take care of it next to her, and then went into the ear room to bathe. By the time she came out, the two boys had already slept and didn't know what day it was.
Qiu Chen pulled a cocoon and silk clip for the two children, and sent Yufeng down to rest, while she herself took the book and flipped it up with the light on the kang cabinet.
In this era, when a woman gives birth to a child, it is a ghost gate, although the best gynecology Lang Zhong and Wen Po in Anyang were arranged to serve in Yang's shop, Qiu Chen still felt a little uneasy.
The heart was in a mess, his eyes were staring at the page, but his mind had already run away, first thinking that Zhao didn't know when he was born, he silently prayed for her, and after a while, his thoughts turned to the people who asked to follow her that day.
One of them, Chu Guishan, was one of the 100 nurses who were later transferred.
This person is not tall, but his skeleton is very strong, and although he has been thin and unformed after half a year of struggle, he still has a momentum. He found Qiu Chen alone and confessed that he led someone to kill the eunuch, because the eunuch once again threw a rotten man who couldn't move into the river......
Speaking of the eunuch, after many days, Chu Guishan still clenched his fists: "...... Before, there were also some people who were too sick to move, and they couldn't do their work with whips, so the eunuch said that he would take someone to heal and carry him away. At first, we thought that this person was so kind, but we didn't watch people rot to death...... But then gradually I felt that something was wrong, and there was no news after the people pulled them away, and then one time, our little brother saw that the two people who had just carried the person soon appeared on the construction site again, so he secretly told me, we followed a few times, but did not keep up, this time, we finally followed...... They didn't go to Lang Yi for treatment, and the people in front of them were thrown into sacks and thrown into the river! ”
Speaking of this, Chu Guishan's eyes turned red, and the black and thin man was stunned and couldn't go on.
Qiu Chen was also shocked when she heard this, she only thought that Min Zhuang was immersed in cold water, and he couldn't eat enough, and gradually died of illness and starvation, but she didn't expect that she would throw a living person into the river......
Trying to calm his emotions, Qiu Chen poured a cup of tea and handed it to Chu Guishan, watched the man take a big sip, calmed his emotions, and knelt in front of Qiu Chen with a puff.
This time, Qiu Chen didn't let or pull him up, just quietly looked at the man who was kneeling in front of him, hunched over, and the ground in front of his knees instantly wet a small piece of man.
After a while, Chu Guishan wiped his face and said, "I have inquired, Mr. Qiu is a three-grade edict issued by the imperial court, and he is credited to the imperial court...... I took the lead in killing someone, although I haven't been investigated yet, but I don't expect to get away with the crime, I just hope that when the time comes, the court will investigate it, and Mr. Qiu can say a word for me, let me take the blame alone, and don't ask those hard-working brothers about their crimes......"
At this moment, although Qiu Chen felt that the eunuch was innocent of death, although he could not atone for his sins, and the people behind the eunuch were also guilty...... It's just that her reason also clearly tells her that this era is the era of imperial power, and ordinary people are no different from cats, dogs, mole ants in the eyes of those heavenly nobles, and even, a human life is far less than a dog and a bird they love......
Although the eunuch deserved to die, but the third prince Qi King Yang Jingyu would not be punished too heavily, at best, it was improper measures, no matter how bad it was, there was no shirking, it can be said that the next person did something wrong, after all, the third prince Qi Wang who supervised the river repair under the banner returned to the capital early.
So, as long as the King of Qi is still in power and is really investigated, where can these people who killed the eunuchs in anger escape? Maybe it will expand the area and take more people's lives.
But what if you protect people? This ...... It's worth pondering.
She herself doesn't have this ability, not to mention that she can't protect it in the workshop, or she is placed in her own home, and she can't resist the means of Qi Wang Tianhuang's nobles, and she can't protect him thoroughly. Jingli Jingbei Hou Qin Zheng is also not good there...... Qin Zheng herself is still in a difficult situation, and she can't trouble him anymore.
Then, the best way is to send this person far away, far away to the place where the power of Yang Jingyu, the king of Qi, cannot be involved.
Originally, Qiu Chen had been pondering, but there was no good way, tonight she ate corn with a few children, and talked about overseas things, but she suddenly burst into tears.
Chu Guishan can see that he is a capable man, and his physique is good enough, and he can still protect himself in the case of Hegong, which is also a success. Moreover, after killing the chief evil eunuch, the situation did not expand, and the Ministry of Industry and even other accomplices only controlled it...... This all shows that this person is capable of doing something, and he is worthy of her rescue! Similarly, as long as the threat of Yang Jingyu, the king of Qi, is exempted, this person can quickly adapt to the environment and live well.
If Tuoyun Jichen sent him to the sea boat and ran on two boats, not to mention the vast sea and the distant foreign continent, even if he arrived in the south, the power of Yang Jingyu, the king of Qi, would be greatly reduced.
After thinking about it in his heart, Qiu Chen felt that the tiredness came up layer by layer, and he also blew out the lights and stopped.
Early the next morning, Qiu Chen wrote a letter and asked Qin Li to go to Anyang in person and hand over the letter to Yun Jichen. At the same time, I went to Yang's shop to visit the second sister-in-law.
In the evening, Qin Li turned back and brought back Yun Jichen's message, reassuring Qiu Chen. On the other side of the Yang family's shop, the Zhao family still did not move. Counting the time, Zhao should be the due date of these few days...... According to the examination of Wen Po that day, the fetus has already entered the pelvis, and it should be a few days...... But in the last few days, it is the most memorable and worrying.
In the blink of an eye, it was another four days, and it had been five days since Yang Shumeng went home, after Junli's initial discomfort, he had the love and companionship of his brothers, and Qiu Chen's deliberate closeness and care, and gradually let go, and began to laugh and play lively, recovering his lively appearance, and occasionally naughty and mischievous made Qiu Chen angry and funny.
In another day, it will be the sixth day of the sixth month of June, and Qiu Chen began to prepare several kinds of grains, such as soybeans, sesame seeds, peanuts and other fried noodles, ready to make fried noodles on June 6. In addition, mung bean flour was also ground to prepare for making cold powder......
After finishing this, Qiu Chen led people to harvest the potatoes in the backyard later. The number of potatoes harvested in the second crop is not small, but the size is not as big as the first crop, and the largest is about the same as eggs.
Potatoes that were too small were not suitable for french fries, so she cut them into thin slices to make potato chips. The smaller ones are simply made into mashed potatoes, or stewed with meat, or just steamed like that, and eaten with a special spicy beef sauce, which is also very good, not only a group of boys eat it devoured, but even Qin Li and the four of them are full of praise. Mr. Ding is not very spicy and is full of praise for vinegared potato chips.
After the potatoes were harvested, the corn that was already ripe was harvested. One by one, the heavy golden corn cobs were broken off, and the skin was peeled off while it was bright, and it was tied into a purr and hung under the eaves of the porch.
To avoid worrying about himself, Qiu Chen had a busy day, accompanying the children to write, read and tell stories at night, and coaxed Ah Fu Junli to sleep together.
The next day, on the sixth day of June, Qiu Chen got up early in the morning, and as soon as he left the house, he saw two magpies chirping happily on the pomegranate tree in front of the door.
Qingxing walked out with her and said with a smile: "Madam, the magpie came to the door early this morning, this is a happy event coming!" ”
Qiu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, and suddenly thought of Zhao, the second sister-in-law of the Yang family's shop...... I couldn't help rejoicing in my heart, and with a smile I told the little girl in the yard to go to the big kitchen and get grain to sprinkle in the yard, and feed the two birds who were announcing the good news.
This matter was then thrown away by Qiu Chen, and the grains that had been fried and dried yesterday were taken out, put into a small stone mill and ground into fine powder, and after being sieved several times, they were thoroughly mixed and evenly mixed into a light burnt yellow flour, exuding a rich aroma with a slight burnt taste.
There are many ways to eat fried noodles, after adding sugar, add cold boiled water and stir, and then knead into small thin strips, it becomes a very simple snack; It can also be eaten like oil tea; In addition, the children also like to put a purse in their pockets, pinch a little bit in the middle of play, and put it in their mouths to eat...... It's just that this way of eating will choke if you are not careful, causing violent coughing, so Qiu Chen restricts his children from eating this way.
The speed of the small stone grinding was very slow, and most of the fried grain and rice were ground out little by little, which took Qiu Chen and the girls most of the afternoon. After grinding, the master and servant were also stained with a layer of white powder, which was fragrant.
Qingxing pushed the laurel that had been stained with a lot because of the sifting, and said with a smile: "You little girl has become a fried noodle flavor!" ”
Before she finished speaking, she saw not only a few girls, but even Qiu Chen looked at her and smiled, subconsciously raised her hand to touch her face, but painted her face that was originally stained with a little flour into a big cat, which caused everyone to laugh.
After laughing and tidying up, Qiu Chen took a bath and changed his clothes and came out, seeing that it was still early, and he didn't want to be idle, so he simply took the basket and went to the back garden to pick tomatoes and watermelons.
This year's tomatoes have been promoted, not only planted in the backyard, but also planted in the vegetable planting base specially set aside in Zhuangzi in Qingshui Town, which can now be picked in large quantities. As soon as this fresh fruit was put on the market, many restaurants in Anping and Anyang City came to buy it. Some large families also came to buy, because things are scarce and expensive, a pound of tomatoes was even sold for a pound of silver and a pound, just like that, the tomatoes that the Lin family can sell are also limited, in addition to Qiu Chen to give away, but also to leave seeds, so many people take the silver but can't buy this kind of fruit that is rumored to be miraculous.
However, Qiu Chen also knew that this kind of thing was only this year, whether it was sent out or bought back, with tomatoes, there would be seeds, and they would be planted next year, and the price would naturally drop, pointing to this would not make a fortune.
Randomly ordered Chunxiang and the two little girls to go to the backyard, picked two watermelons and let Chunxiang send them to the well, while Qiu Chen himself took the little girl to pick ripe tomatoes.
As soon as he picked off the small half basket, the Wang family, who was guarding the second gate, rushed in: "Madam, someone came to deliver the water chestnut in front, saying that it was sent by Uncle Nannuohu." ”
As soon as she heard that the new lings from Nanmara Lake were picked and delivered, Qiu Chen was overjoyed and let the two little girls continue to pick persimmons, while she hurriedly washed her hands and went out of the backyard. The person who came was Lao He's youngest son, and when he saw Qiu Chen, he naturally saluted. Qiu Chen greeted Zhao Jiu a few times and asked Zhao Jiu to take him down to settle down for rest, and then beckoned the family to pack up watermelons and tomatoes and peppers, and took two ears of residual green corn and a small basket of small potatoes, ready to let Lao He's youngest son take them back to his sister-in-law and eldest brother to taste.
Before it was finished at this time, Zhishu outside the door sent a letter from Yun Jichen. After Qiu Chen's greetings, he opened the letter in front of Zhishu.
At the beginning, after Yun Jichen's simple greeting, he wrote directly: "...... The saint was furious, and the king of Qi was demoted to the king of Qi, and the king of Qi was given two years, and Zhu Xuran, a scholar of the Wenhua Palace, was appointed as the king of Qi, and ordered the king of Qi not to leave Beijing for one year...... In addition, it was decreed that Wu Yunqiao, the Tongzhi of Anyang Prefecture, was responsible for the river repair of the Yishui River; Xu Xiu, the commander of Anyang, was promoted to the commander of Anyang, and was in charge of the affairs of Jing'an in Anyang and Shunqing. The former commander of Shunqing Prefecture dismissed Qiu Dahu and detained him in Beijing for investigation, and the former governor of Shunqing Prefecture dismissed his post ......"
There were still some officials appointed and dismissed later, Qiu Chen swept by, and only moved his gaze back to the sentence of the relevant King of Qi: Demoted to the king of the county, and the two years of dismissal!
After all, the prince is different from others, so many people died, and he almost caused a big chaos, but he was only demoted and reformed for two years......
That unlucky guy Qiu Dahu was detained in Beijing for investigation, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to save his life. The other, even more innocent and unlucky, the prefect of Shunqing, was also dismissed...... It even smacks of anger.
After reading the letter, Qiu Chen sighed secretly, raised his eyes to look at Zhishu, and asked, "A few days ago, I entrusted the second son, but has it been settled?" ”
Zhishu smiled and said: "Lady rest assured, the second son has sent people to the ship and went south according to the lady's entrustment." This way to Quanzhou first, and when the familiar sea ships go to sea, you can get on the ship. ”
Qiu Chen nodded: "I am naturally relieved that the second son will do things...... This incident didn't embarrass the second son, right? Do those river workers have anything to say? ”
Zhishu smiled and pointed to the letter in Qiu Chen's hand, and said with a smile: "These little ones don't know what to do, if the son has news, it should be written in the letter." ”
Qiu Chen remembered that he hadn't finished reading the letter just now, so he looked down again. This time, she directly skipped a paragraph about the promotion and dismissal of officials, jumped directly to the end of the letter, and saw two sentences: "Mutinous soldiers are sent to the northern frontier to garrison the border." The river workers were properly resettled, and the two prefectures of Shunqing and Anyang were exempted from three years of forced labor. ”
A very simple sentence has already shown the attitude of the emperor who is high above, and he will not be held accountable for the killing of the eunuchs by the river workers. It's just that Qiu Chen didn't regret sending Chu Guishan away. The fact that the King of Qi cannot leave Beijing does not mean that the people of the King of Qi cannot leave Beijing. It is really easy for King Qi to kill a few ordinary people, and with King Qi's ruthless and vicious temperament, this matter is not a fluke at all.
Although the disposition of King Qi made Qiu Chen quite slanderous, he did not investigate the responsibility of the river workers, and he was exempted from forced labor for three years, which is not a big or small piece of good news. Qiu Chen also showed a smile, thanked Zhishu well, and sent two baskets of watermelons and a basket of tomatoes for him to take back to the Yun family. In addition, he also gave Zhishu two watermelons alone, and gave him a big red envelope, and the Zhishu who was toothless and blind, knelt down and kowtowed to thank him for the reward, and then followed the retreat to eat with a happy face.
Waiting for Zhishu to retreat, Qiu Chen sat in the small flower hall and looked at Yun Jichen's letter again, and threw it into the brazier with some interest, seeing that it burned to ashes, so he took the teacup and extinguished the embers, and sent the little girl to clean it up, while she shook her head and went back to the backyard.
It was the magpie that came to the door early in the morning, and she thought that there was some good news, but it was such a chicken news...... Demotion and Reform...... That's thousands of lives!
Because of this incident, Qiu Chen ate some of the same wax at lunch. After eating, taking two small naps for a while, and sending the children to the school, Qiu Chen went to find some messy work for a while, and simply re-entered the laboratory to prepare pills.
Seeing that it is about to enter the long summer, the weather is hot and humid, and it is most likely to have gastrointestinal problems. Several workshops are densely populated, and it is important to pay attention to diet, but also to prepare some medicines for acute gastrointestinal diseases, which are cheap to use once someone is sick.
The drugs used for damp-heat gastroenteritis in summer are undoubtedly the most effective with Huoxiang Zhengqi and ten drops of water, and they are inexpensive and easy to take. And, interestingly, the recipe for ten drops of water uses chili peppers...... Now, looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, probably only Qiu Chen can take out chili peppers and use them to make medicines.
A dose of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water had just finished weighing the medicine, and before the preparation was carried out, the Qingxing girl was heard shouting loudly: "Madam, great joy, really great joy, the second uncle sent someone to report the good news!" ”
Qiu Chen was holding a zizi in her hand, and the ziwei who was shouted by Qingxing was thrown to the ground with a loud bang, she didn't care about it, ran out in a few steps, and saw the Qingxing girl standing at the door with a happy face, and hurriedly asked, "How is it?" But peace? ”
Qingxing nodded again and again like a kowtow worm: "Yes, yes, peace, peace......"
"What about people?" Qiu Chen was obviously not satisfied with a 'peace', and after asking the person who came, he was drinking tea and resting in the small flower hall at the door, so he left Qingxing and rushed out, not hearing Qingxing stomping his feet behind him and shouting with a frown.
Qiu Chen ran all the way to the front and saw that the person who came was a new subordinate of the Yang family after the Spring Festival. Seeing Qiu Chen, he hurriedly kowtowed and said goodbye.
"Don't be busy, tell me how it is?" Qiu Chen couldn't care about the defense of men and women at this time, and the dignity of the master and servant, so he stretched out his hand and pulled the clothes of the person who came to stop him from saluting, and asked him repeatedly.
The man was taken aback, but he hurriedly bowed down and took a step back, and hurriedly replied: "Mrs. Hui, the second wife is very good, the little master is good, the mother and son are safe!" ”
"Ah, that's great!" Qiu Chen subconsciously cheered, and then the smile on his face froze for a moment, and then he burst into laughter.
The second elder of the Yang family, the second brother and the second sister-in-law, including the children, were looking forward to adding a younger sister, but they didn't expect to give birth to another boy!
However, Qiu Chen has no opinion on this, there is no difference between boys and girls in her opinion, what she cares about is that adults and children are safe, just fine!
After a big turn of thoughts, Qiu Chen finally let go of his mind and stabilized his mind, and then beckoned everyone to sit down, and asked carefully about the time of the child's birth, and learned that the child was born after the child, which happened to be the birthday of the sixth day of the sixth month of June, and the child was born very smoothly. He also rewarded the visitor with a small silver coin of two taels, and then turned back with a smile.
Well, the second sister-in-law gave birth to a little nephew for her this time, and she can rest assured.
Oh, don't say it, the magpie this morning is really very smart, the magpie announces the good news, isn't there a big good news!
Back in the backyard, Qiu Chen also put aside the dispensing for the time being, and began to call the Chen family and the Daxing family to come over, discussing the congratulatory gifts for the second brother and sister-in-law, as well as the small clothes, small bedding, and even a complete set of bracelets, ankle rings, collars and other things that were prepared for the little nephew early, and found a bag of menstrual mats made of absorbent cotton, cleaned it up, and sent Yufeng to open the warehouse and turn out the two boxes of good Ejiao out, thought about it, and went to his own dispensing room to prepare six servings of four-thing soup and brought it back, wrote the precautions for use, etc., After ordering the Daxing family, he instructed him carefully, and arranged for the carriage to go to the Yang family's shop with the Yang family to congratulate him.
In the evening, when the children came back from school, when they heard that there was another little brother, and the others had not spoken, Junyan first made a bitter face: "Why is it a kid again!" ”
Junshu slapped Junyan's head and scolded with a smile: "What are you talking about!" Where is there something you hate! ”
Junli couldn't react for a while and couldn't react to what he meant by adding a younger brother, blinked his eyes and looked at a few brothers, then looked at his aunt, and said in a daze: "What is a kid again?" ”
Jun Yan rubbed his head and was unhappy, and when he heard Jun Li's inquiry, he immediately said angrily: "Your mother has added another brother to you...... In the future, you will not be the youngest, with a younger brother, grandparents and second uncles and aunts will be rare for your younger brother, and you will not be rare anymore! ”
There is a younger brother Junli who doesn't know what's going on, but he said that his grandparents and parents are not rare to him, but Junli understands it, his big eyes blinked, and his eyes turned red in an instant, and he suddenly threw himself into Qiu Chen's arms and cried: "Auntie, grandparents and parents are not rare to me......"
This time there was no need for Junshu, Qiu Chen pointed his finger at Junyan's head again, glared at him, and then picked up Junli and coaxed him: "Junli is so good, well-behaved and sensible, he reads and writes hard...... How can grandparents and parents not be rare? Don't listen to your fourth brother, it was your fourth brother joking with you just now...... Your grandparents and your father and mother are rare for you, and your aunt and brothers are rare for you......"
Junli sobbed, wiped his eyes and hummed: "But, my father and mother have a little brother......"
Qiu Chen sneered, sat down with Junli in his arms, took out a handkerchief and wiped Junli's tears and said, "Daddy has a younger brother, but with a younger brother, Junli will become an elder brother in the future...... When Junli grows up, he can protect his younger brother like his brothers, how good is it, isn't it...... However, if you are an older brother, you can't cry your nose, and if you are an older brother, you will be laughed at by your younger brother......
Qiu Chen calmed down for a while in a different way, and finally coaxed Junli to stop crying.
As soon as he heard that he could be a brother in the future, he felt a sense of pride, his eyes were still red, so he straightened up his small chest, nodded solemnly and said: "Well, I'm my brother, don't cry anymore!" Can't let my brother laugh! ”
Qiu Chen secretly sighed, hugged Junli and kissed him, hugged Junli, pulled Ah Fu, and went into the ear room to wash: "Let's go, wash your hands and let's eat, today your uncle sent someone to send us fresh water chestnuts and fresh fish, you can eat steamed water chestnuts at night, and I also made you your favorite dry fried fish fillet!" ”
"Mother, I love to eat fish head tofu!" Ah Fu tugged Qiu Chen's hand and expressed his opinion in a small voice.
There is a pond in front of the door where fish are raised, and fish are also raised in Nanmar Lake, so the Lin family naturally has no shortage of fish to eat.
The fish of this era is pure natural and pollution-free, and there are absolutely no contraceptives and additives, and the fish meat is rich in nutrients, and it is a very good nutritious food for children's growth and mental development. Qiu Chen naturally spent more time thinking about how to make fish.
In addition to the original extravagant eating methods such as fish pot cakes, boiled fish, and sauerkraut fish, Qiu Chen recently remembered the 'fried fish' and 'one fish and two eats' that he once ate in a small restaurant.
Fried fish is similar to the method of making fried buns, the fish meat is fresh and tender, the only bad thing is that the thorns in the fish are not easy to vomit, Qiu Chen is afraid that a few small spit will not be clean, so he is not in a hurry to make it, but one fish and two eats, especially suitable for children to eat, she tried to do it twice to find the accurate ingredients and heat, and taught Chen. Chen's own cooking skills are superb, and with Qiu Chen's previous trial cooking experience as a foreshadowing, the 'one fish and two eats' made by hand is better than Qiu Chen's own cooking.
Ah Fu rarely says what he likes to eat on weekdays, but at this time, he can express his wishes with his respectful mouth, Qiu Chen is simply overjoyed, not to mention that one fish and two eats the soup with fish head and fish bones, so he immediately smiled and said: "Yes, there are dry fried fish fillets, and there are fish head tofu...... I'll give Ah Fu today's fish head, okay? ”
I don't know if the taste of this kind of thing is also infected, originally Qiu Chen was the only one in the family who loves to eat fish heads, but I don't know when, Ah Fu also loves fish heads, and he is particularly proud of the fish lips, fish eyes and watercress meat on the gills of the fish head......
As soon as he heard his mother say this, Ah Fu's face immediately bloomed with joy, but he still didn't move his steps, only leaned up and pulled Qiu Chen's hand on tiptoe......
Qiu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly suddenly. She said why Ah Fu suddenly expressed what she likes to eat...... It turned out that just now she hugged Junli and coaxed her, and kissed Junli again, Ah Fu's little heart was hurt and jealous! The little guy didn't know how to express his wishes, so he started by eating fish, and finally expressed his true intentions - he wanted to kiss too!
Qiu Chen, who had figured it out, was secretly amused, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. She has always felt that Ah Fu is not good at expressing herself, she never says what she wants, and she always feels distressed when she is sensible.
Holding Junli in one hand, it is still a little difficult to lean down to kiss Ah Fu, Qiu Chen simply squatted down, still holding Junli with one hand, and hugged Ah Fu into his arms with the other hand, kissed the two cheeks of the little guy, and kissed Ah Fu's head, and then put Junli's hand into Ah Fu's hand: "Ah Fu took his younger brother to wash his hands, and his mother went to the big kitchen to take a look, so that they could send the fish head tofu and dry fried fish fillets together, okay?" ”
Ah Fu's little face flushed, and he nodded with joy. Junli also passed the sadness just now, and also obediently took Ah Fu's hand, nodded, and waved his hand: "Auntie, go, I'm my brother, don't cry!" ”
Looking at Junli's solemn expression, Qiu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then secretly smiled bitterly and became worried. After her preaching, will Junli become another Ah Fu, who understands the rules of etiquette and loses the naughty and lively nature of children?
I can't see this worry now, Qiu Chen secretly shook his head and went to the kitchen.
The fresh water chestnut and one fish and two meals in the evening made the family happily eat.
Early the next morning, Qiu Chen sent Zhao Jiu and the Daxing family to bring the congratulatory gifts she had prepared, and followed the people of the Yang family to the Yang family's shop. In addition, he brought three purses and a thank you gift to Zhao Jiu. Xie Li and one of the red envelopes were given to the Lang Zhong who was good at gynecology in the Huichun Hall, and the other two purses were the rewards promised to the two stable women before.
After sending these people away, Qiu Chen devoted himself to the work of making Huoxiang Zhengqi Water and Ten Drops of Water.
These recipes haven't been taken out yet, and they are all made by her alone when they are made. Crushing, processing, boiling and packaging of various drugs...... After a series of work, Qiu Chen was also busy every day for five days, before he finished packing the two medicines, handed them over to Yufeng and put them in the warehouse, and briefly explained the effects and indications of the drugs and the methods of taking them, which was the most difficult to end the work.
After these, Qiu Chen also completely relaxed. So I began to think about things outside the house, but when I went out, I saw the lotus canopy in the pond standing like a green canopy between the emerald green lotus leaves, and my eyes couldn't help but light up.
I ate the water chestnut sent by Nannuma Lake before, but I almost missed the fresh lotus seeds in the pond in front of my house.
Moreover, if she remembers correctly, the gourd, that is, the chicken head rice, should be ripe at about the same time as the water chestnut and lotus seeds, and since the water chestnut is ripe, the chicken head rice should also be able to be picked.
In addition, the pond in front of the door seems to have been planted with some water chestnuts and chicken head rice, but the lotus root that has been growing has not been as vigorous as the lotus root that originally settled down, and is covered by layers of lotus leaves, so that Qiu Chen almost forgot about these two.
This kind of work doesn't need others, just greet Qin Li.
There was already a small wooden boat in the pond, Qiu Chen was afraid that the children would recklessly row the boat, so she moved it up and shrunk into the warehouse...... Naturally, he was moved out of the warehouse at this time.
When the children go to school, they naturally can't participate. Qingxing and a few girls were released by Qiu Chen, gathered in the pavilion at the gate, on the plank road, and watched picking lotus seeds with chirp, and also looked for whether there were any gourds and water chestnuts that survived and bore fruit.
Among the four Qin Li, Zeng Da Niu has the best water nature, and the boating skills are also the most skilled, and the long penny seems to be alive and spiritualized in his hands.
Yufeng is not as lively as Qingxing's girl, she only accompanies Qiu Chen, watching the boat shuttle leisurely in the center of the lotus leaf lotus, and can't help but yearn: "Madam, let Brother Zeng pick a few lotus flowers...... I remember my wife said that lotus tea tastes very good. Moreover, it seems that some people say that the taste of lotus powder is also good......"
For a long time, Yufeng has been calm and generous, diligent, thoughtful and meticulous, and does not say much, which is quite relied on by Qiu Chen. Just like Ah Fu, this girl rarely proposes once, and Qiu Chen naturally won't refute her, so she responded with a smile: "It's okay, you go and talk to Zeng Da Niu, and let him pick some lotus flowers that have not opened or seem to have just opened, let's try!" ”
After all, Yufeng is just a teenage girl, usually quiet and steady, but also good self-control, at this time the family gathered on the edge of the pond to watch the lotus seeds, the girls chattered and laughed noisy, Mrs. was not annoyed at all, but very happy to look at this lively scene, Yufeng also relaxed her restraint on herself, and boldly made a request, not surprisingly, Mrs. agreed without the slightest hesitation, she also seemed to be encouraged, smiled and nodded, and also squeezed to the railing of the pavilion, shouted into the pond: "Brother Zeng, Mrs. said, let you pick some lotus flowers...... To be unopened or seem to be open......"
This voice shouted, and the little girls on the plank road stopped in unison, and they all looked over here. Qing Xing came over from there in a daze, came to Qiu Chen's side, bent her knees and smiled: "What is Mrs. doing picking lotus flowers?" Are you going to put a bottle in our house? ”
Qiu Chen didn't pay attention to what Dao Qingxing said, she looked at the originally flexible Zeng Da Niu on the boat and shook his body, as if he was dizzy, and planted it in the pond with a pop.
Yufeng and the girls exclaimed in unison, Qingxing didn't care about what to say to Qiu Chen, and hurriedly ran to the side of the plank road to greet Qin Yong: "Master Yong, hurry up and rescue Brother Zeng......
Qiu Chen was also frightened, stood up suddenly, and when she saw Zeng Da Niu floating up a moment after falling into the water, and paddling the boat to the other side very smoothly, her eyes turned to Yufeng, who was running home in a hurry, and Qingxing, who ran to Qin Yong for help......
It seems that Yufeng and Qingxing are also fifteen years old, and they have reached the age of cardamom for the first time!
