Chapter Seventy-Four: Aunt and Nephew

Qiu Chen didn't really wait to see other people's things, so he took the opportunity to pull the Erkui family out to say goodbye. and instructed Lan Ying to be sent out, so that she could accompany the Wang family at home, and she didn't have to go back today. Lan Ying thought that Qiu Chen was for her, so she didn't think much about it, and happily agreed.

After standing in the courtyard and talking to Erkui's family and Lan Ying, Qiu Chen returned home.

Keeping in mind whether he figured out whether the distillation equipment was suitable, Qiu Chen went straight to the backyard to check as soon as he got home.

When I arrived at the distillation equipment, I found that the wine had not yet been produced because of the short heating time. Qiu Chen went to replace the fried medicine Chengzi and asked him to go to the front yard to rest, it seems that the steaming wine at night will not be until the second half of the night, and Chengzi must not have slept well last night, if he doesn't take a rest at this time, I'm afraid he won't be able to stay up at night.

This time, Chengzi didn't insist anymore and obediently went back to the front room.

After all, Qiu Chen's stir-fry operation is more proficient than Chengzi, and the remaining half of the basket is fried in just two quarters of an hour, and the rest is to rub and dry, Qiu Chen stopped the fire and turned back to the front yard.

After Junwen Junshu installed the distillation equipment, he went back to the front yard, sorted the things he bought, and then sat on the low table in the courtyard to read and write.

Qiu Chen called Junwen and handed him the operating procedures for the preparation of several medicinal materials that he had written down, and then, to make healing medicine, he needed to concoct an API, and he was on the stove in the house, demonstrating and teaching him. Because Junwen had just come into contact with drug processing, Qiu Chen didn't talk too deeply about the theory, only told him the intuitive methods and skills, and after the explanation and demonstration, he let Junwen practice and teach him hand in hand, and Junwen was also very proficient in operation, Qiu Chen handed over the remaining medicinal materials to Junwen, and she stared at Junshu to make a delivery and warehousing. Junshu originally wanted to be more thoughtful and careful, and under the caution, he did a very good job, and the account filling was neat and refreshing, and he was praised by Qiu Chen, and he was happy with a smile on his face.

Because it is directly distilled with finished liquor, and the speed of liquor production is compared, Qiu Chen finished guiding Junwen Junshu, and was moving the whole sheep out, thinking about how to eat it, Da Zhuang ran to report it happily, saying that there was water in the thin pipe.

Qiu Chen hurriedly ran out, and didn't forget to take a pottery bowl from the bowl rack.

Before entering the backyard, I could already smell the pervasive aroma of wine, completely covering the bitter taste of Luo Bu Ma in the past.

Qiu Chen couldn't help but take a deep breath, and Da Zhuang said with a smile: "Just now I and my sister-in-law said that if you stay for a long time, you will get drunk just by smelling it!" ”

Qiu Chen also smiled: "It's nothing if you're drunk, don't you all play drunk, then don't all your family come to me to settle accounts!" ”

Laughing, the two had already entered the backyard. Qiu Chen saw that in the backyard, except for Yuxiang who was squatting in front of the stove to light the fire, the others were all around the wine outlet and chattering. Lin Zi and Brother Quan snorted deeply, salivating.

Qiu Chen smiled, also stepped forward, swept his eyes everywhere, and saw that the Qingshan family and the Qinghe family had finished drying Luo Bu Ma and put them in a big basket. Liu Zhanxiang and Brother Quan did not throw the medicine down and left, the stone mill was also cleaned, and the medicine powder was also put into the jar. It's just that they haven't been put into storage yet.

This is a small flaw, Qiu Chen remembered it in his heart and did not make a sound. With a smile on his face, he stepped forward and took the bowl in his hand to release the wine.

Because the wine has just been released, the amount of wine is not large, it is dripping, falling into the bowl, splashing some hops, and it took a while to take a small half bowl of colorless transparent wine, Qiu Chen first put it under his nose and smelled it, and the clear wine smell rushed straight into his nostrils, and the alcohol taste was mixed with a faint fragrance...... These scents are emitted by some aldehydes and are not necessary as medical alcohol. It's just that, under the current conditions, Qiu Chen has neither the way nor the need to remove it.

After taking a sip of the mouth, the strong spicy taste went straight to his throat, and Qiu Chen judged from experience that the alcohol concentration of these first condensed was relatively high, about 6-7. This concentration of alcohol is close to the optimal concentration of alcohol for medical disinfection.

After inspecting the situation, she couldn't help but laugh when she saw several pairs of eyes staring at her. So he handed the wine bowl to the Qingshan family near her: "Come and taste it!" ”

The bowl was handed over, and she walked away by checking the thickness of the mill.

As soon as he took two steps, he heard the Qingshan family shout violently: "Ah, it's spicy!" ”

After attracting a burst of laughter, it was followed by Qinghejia and Yuxiang, then Liu Zhanxiang, Da Zhuang, Brother Quan, Lin Zi, and then Junwen Junshu followed Qiu Chen. Da Zhuang is more tiger, coveting for a long time, finally the wine bowl fell into his hand, and then the bowl was trembling, almost fell to the ground, next to Brother Quan hurriedly reached out and took the wine bowl, at this time, Da Zhuang reacted, and then there was an earth-shattering cough.

With this lead, Brother Quan knew that he was leisurely when he drank, so he took a sip and immediately grinned with a spicy spicy expression. When I turned around, I smiled at the big strong who still couldn't do it.

"This wine is so strong! The big strong brother is also enough for a man, and he takes a big bite all at once, amazing! As he spoke, he also gave Da Zhuang a thumbs up, so that Da Zhuang almost couldn't get up in his breath and choked again, stretched out his fist and slammed it towards Brother Quan. Then the two boys squeaked and started a fight in the yard. Several mothers-in-law were still cheering for fear that the world would not be chaotic, and for a while, the backyard was in chaos.

Qiu Chen checked Luo Bu Ma and the medicinal powder, and saw that it was almost too noisy over there, so she walked over, clapped her hands, and quieted everyone down, and then she smiled and said: "Today, our wine has just come out, and everyone will taste it, and when we make it again, we will add medicine to it, but we can't drink it anymore." ”

When they heard this, everyone laughed a little wryly.

Qiu Chen also smiled and said, "However, since we have installed this set of guys by ourselves, we don't have to worry about not having the opportunity to drink this good wine." Wait for the festival and the New Year, let's steam a pot ourselves and take it home to drink! Hehe, of course, I won't put medicine in that pot! ”

Everyone was encouraged and laughed for a while, and after a lively while, Qiu Chen waved his hand and asked the big guy to clean up the venue, put away the medicine and get off work.

On the other side, because Yuxiang still wanted to continue to burn the fire, Qiu Chen asked Qinghe's family to bring a letter to her family. Yu Xianglin's family went home after dinner.

As soon as Qiu Chen said this, Qinghe, Qingshan's family, as well as Liu Zhanxiang, Lin Zi, and Brother Quan remembered that they still had work to do, so they hurriedly confessed and hurriedly went to collect the medicine and send the medicine to the warehouse.

For dinner, Qiu Chen added a few green radishes to the lamb skeleton and stewed a large pot, the mutton and radish were stewed crispy, the soup was milky white and thick, and when you smelled it, you felt that the fragrance was like a little hand seducing your saliva, and you couldn't help but overflow your mouth. I also made a pot of yellow stewed mutton, and made a risotto with last night's pancakes, which made a group of strong people and a family eat very sweet and admired.

After dinner, Qiu Chen went to the backyard several times to check the wine situation, and changed the jar according to the strength of the wine. At the end of the evening, Qiu Chen called Chengzi, let him eat, and went to replace Yuxiang. Then, Qiu Chen called Shang Junyan Junzhang to send Yuxiang home. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the door, a person stood up in the shadow of the black light, which startled Qiu Chen, thinking that the two sunspots were back again, and only after a little calming down did he find that this person was slightly hunched, his hands were still rubbing in front of him helplessly, and he called out in his mouth: "Sister-in-law Lin ......"

Yuxiang also blamed next to her: "What are you doing here, it scared my sister-in-law!" ”

Qiu Chen smiled: "It's Brother Da Niu?" Are you worried about your daughter-in-law going back by herself and picking her up? Hehe, I'll come to pick up Yuxiang in the future and wait, don't get frozen here! ”

"Hey, hey, Xiexie Sister-in-law!" Da Niu heard Qiu Chen's words speak kindly, and he also relaxed, and agreed again and again.

Yuxiang stopped complaining at this time, said goodbye to Qiu Chen, and followed Da Niu with shame and happiness.

Qiu Chen looked at the bright moonlight and said with a smile: "Since we came out, let's not rush back, let's go, let's go to the third grandmother's house to sit down!" ”

As he spoke, he went home and took two catties of mutton, and took a few children to the third grandmother's house.

Before entering the door, Qiu Chen heard a bang in the courtyard, and then the third grandmother, the eldest grandson, rushed out, if Qiu Chen hadn't been able to hide, he would have been bumped into by this kid.

Li Chuan paused, saw that it was Qiu Chen, his face showed a hint of surprise, the mosquito snorted and called his sister-in-law, and hurried away.

secretly said that it was not the right time for him to come, and Qiu Chen could only enter the door with a hard head: "Third grandmother, have you eaten?" ”

"Eat, eat, eat! Fu'er Niang, come in, come in! The anger on the third grandmother's face swept away, and then she smiled and welcomed Qiu Chen into the door. Then he gave Junzhang Junyan and Afu Aman candy and snacks.

Qiu Chen smiled and stopped the busy old lady, pulled the old lady to sit down on the edge of the kang, and said with a smile: "Third grandma, they just eat, where can they still eat, don't be busy with your old age, come, sit down, let's talk!" ”

"Whoa!" The third grandmother agreed, and asked the little grandson Lixun to take a few children to his house to play, and then Qiu Chen sat opposite him, and before he could speak, he sighed first, and then was silent for a while, and then said, "Fu'er Niang, the old woman wants to say no to you today......

"Third grandma, don't say that...... I always treat you as my own grandmother, and I have never told you foreigners, so if you have anything to say, just tell me directly, and treat me as your grandchild......"

The third grandmother nodded, patted Qiu Chen's hand and said, "No, I originally planned to let Lichuan go to you to learn some crafts, but I didn't expect to tell this kid that he was actually unhappy, saying that learning crafts wouldn't he have been blind all these years of studying?" You say, don't look at me scolding him in person, but when I think about it, I feel pity. This kid is really hardworking, but it's not that piece of reading material, alas......"

Although I want to say that everyone can succeed as long as they work hard, the reality is sometimes helpless, and there is still a difference in IQ between people, and sometimes, the gap is still very large. And some people's IQ may also be just a little skewed, this modern students can choose liberal arts and sciences according to their preferences and deviations, and they can also choose their favorite majors after going to college, but in ancient times, there were no such options for you to choose, whether you like it or not, the learning content is the same, and there is only one learning method, that is, rote memorization.

However, Qiu Chen has also learned from reading these days that this 'Ming' Dynasty is still a little different from history, such as the way of talent promotion, not only the scientific examination of Bagu Wen, but also the addition of some jishu subjects, such as agriculture and arithmetic. If the results of the Bagu Literature are not very good, you can also take the agricultural and arithmetic exams, however, the agricultural arithmetic examination is not as good as the Bagu Literary Examination, and the appointments are mostly small official positions, so the general readers look down on them.

Obviously, at this time, Qiu Chen had no choice but to comfort the old lady and said, "Third grandma, the child has his own attention and plans when he grows up, don't be too anxious." Since Lichuan is still willing to read, let him read, and then slowly search, maybe he will be able to find a good way out! ”

As soon as I heard this, I knew that it was comforting, and the third grandmother had no choice but to agree. She cheekily proposed to go to the Lin family to learn the craft, but her grandson disagreed and made such a fuss...... Alas!

Qiu Chen comforted him a few more words, and saw that the old lady's mood had eased a little, so he said: "Third grandmother, Lichuan is not willing to learn a craft, have you asked him what his plans are?" For example, being a shopkeeper or a bookkeeper, is he happy to do it...... You always ask him about his plans in advance, so that you can figure out for him! In fact, it's right to say that kid, it's right that you always worry about your own grandchildren, but the two of you have a wrong idea. You always think, there are still people who like to eat salty and some people like to eat sour when they eat, let's ask clearly, it's okay to pave the way! ”

The third grandmother was said by her, and she thought about it a lot, and when her children and grandchildren grew up, she paid attention to herself, not that you could make them happy and satisfied if you thought too much, but it was not beautiful!

Then, Qiu Chen changed the topic, chatted with the third grandmother casually for a while, and said that it was not early to take the children home.

Yesterday, the third grandmother talked to her about Lichuan, she had this worry, and when she came back from the county seat today, Da Zhuang Yuxiang and both of them went to work, but she didn't see Lichuan, she probably guessed that this was the situation. But after all, the third grandmother is different from others, so she came to the door and took the initiative to end the matter, which also saved Zaijian from being unable to speak in the future, and it would be bad to add estrangement.

When I got home, the lights were on in both rooms of the West Wing. Qiu Chen lifted the door curtain, and saw Junwen Junshu holding the account book, the other holding the concoction process and looking at it, Lin Xu was concentrating on reading and writing, Qiu Chen quietly brought a few small ones back to the north house. One person arranged two word tasks for them to follow the character poster, and she herself went to the stove, brewed a few bowls of egg tea, sent a few to the West Chamber first, and then brought a bowl to the backyard.

At night, the backyard is gone, and during the day, talking, laughing, and quieting, it also seems extraordinarily empty. The thin figure burning the fire under the stove looked particularly lonely. Qiu Chen walked over, put the egg tea on the corner of the pot in front of Chengzi, and said with a smile: "You can't go without food in your stomach when you work overtime at night, eat it while it's hot!" ”

Chengzi stood up with his hands tied and thanked him in a low voice. Qiu Chen smiled: "Eat, everyone will work overtime in the future." ”

As he spoke, Qiu Chen went to the wine outlet again to check the alcohol quality concentration, and the concentration was light, only about 4% alcohol content. She took an empty jar and replaced it, and filled the jar with grain. When I turned around, I saw that Chengzi had already served a bowl and started eating, and then I went to see Luo Buma in the drying shed.

Now that I have a shed, I don't have to worry about the night dew getting wet, and I don't have to put it into the house at night. The next day, it only needs to be dried a little in the sun, and it can be weighed and packaged, which reduces the workload and reduces the crushing loss of Luobuma.

After finishing eating, Qiu Chen turned back, packed up the bowl and spoon and was about to leave, but when he turned his eyes, he saw a few obvious marks drawn on a green brick next to the stove, and a few words were recorded next to it, which was a record of several hours, and he couldn't help but stop.

Chengzi saw Qiu Chen looking at the marks on the green bricks, but he was afraid that he would annoy the master by carving the bricks, so he was worried, and quickly explained: "Auntie, I just want to remember the time when the wine was served, and the aunt changed the jar...... Hour. ”

This explanation worried even him. The master taught you that you can learn, but the master didn't teach you, and you secretly paid attention to it, which is suspected of stealing the teacher. Stealing teachers, shelving some special people, but can be a big crime of half death.

Qiu Chen didn't say anything immediately, silently stared at the record on the ground, Chengzi's heart became tighter and tighter, and he was secretly afraid, his aunt must be very angry and angry, and she couldn't speak.

It turned out that his stepmother was like this, the more he didn't speak, the more serious he was to clean him up, and once he didn't say anything, and he didn't even train him, but he was locked up in the firewood room and starved for three days and three nights. That time, fortunately, he pulled some moldy rice grains from a pile of straw and ate them, so that he did not starve to death.

Thinking of the taste of being hungry and unable to gnaw wood, Chengzi shivered.

"Hey, what's wrong, isn't it cold? You wait, I'll go give you that padded jacket! Qiu Chen said as he grabbed a bowl and hurried to the front yard. Only Chengzi was left stunned and couldn't come back to his senses.

Auntie, is this angry and confused? Still is...... Not angry?

Chengzi couldn't believe it, he carved it on the blue bricks at will, and he was also suspected of stealing the teacher...... made two major mistakes in a row, but was not punished? Chengzi couldn't believe that he was lucky.

Stunned, Qiu Chen hurried back with another old cotton jacket. It's not that she is reluctant to give Chengzi clothes to wear, but in fact, the Lin family's cotton clothes are so shabby that she doesn't have to choose.

Shaking off the cotton clothes directly and draped them on his back, Qiu Chen pointed to the ground to record and said with a smile: "How did you think of recording these?" ”

Chengzi was feeling the warmth and emotion brought by the padded jacket, and suddenly heard such a question, and immediately secretly said, bad food! Auntie is still angry!

However, he did not intend to fight silently as he did with his stepmother, but replied honestly: "I thought, if we write down the time and firepower used each time, and the next time we steam again, we don't need my aunt to come to see it again and again, we just need to change the jar according to the time." ”

Well, isn't this the initial idea of the standardization process? Haha, I didn't expect this little guy to be such a talent!

Qiu Chen saw that Chengzi's eyes were a little wrong, and looking at the black and thin child in front of him, it was as if he had seen a shiny gold. Well, this gold was found by her, and she had to find a way to fix it in her carriage.

Restraining the excitement in his eyes, Qiu Chen smiled and encouraged, "Well, do you think this can completely replace my tasting?" ”

Chengzi timidly raised his eyes and looked at Qiu Chen, seeing that she was smiling, it really didn't look like he was angry, so he simply gritted his teeth and nodded, "Yes." As long as you find out the exact time, the same amount of steamed wine, and the same firepower, you don't need to taste it again. ”

Hearing him speak, Qiu Chen couldn't help but nod in agreement. Chengzi was encouraged, and her speech became more and more smooth: "Even if the weather is different, you can find out the difference according to the weather change and record it, so that winter has the law of winter hours; Summer, autumn, and spring can all have corresponding hours, and then it will be completely unnecessary for my aunt to taste and inspect it so tirelessly every time......"

"Well, if the amount of production is too much, several pots are steamed together, so that the wine is made according to the same hour, and only one person needs to burn the fire and change the jar, which can save a lot of man-hours, and can save a lot of wages......"

The more Qiu Chen listened, the brighter his eyes became, and when he heard the latter, he couldn't help laughing.

The laughter interrupted Chengzi's imagination, and he looked at Qiu Chen with a smile on his face in a bit of a daze, and once again returned to his overwhelmed appearance.

Qiu Chen raised his hand, touched Chengzi's head for the first time with an intimate gesture, and said with a smile: "I have ideas." However, don't write down the bricks in the future......"

Chengzi immediately admitted his mistake: "Auntie, I know it's wrong, I don't dare to scribble on the bricks in the future!" ”

"No, no," Qiu Chen waved his hand and said, "You can't take it away from the green bricks, and if you walk shallow carving, it's gone, and it's easy to lose." I'll go and get you some paper that has been practiced, and you can find such charcoal strips, and write them on the paper, and when you determine the exact time, you will copy them on the white paper. ”

"Ahh Chengzi was surprised, and then agreed repeatedly, and his black and thin face showed the first heartfelt smile after arriving at the Lin family.

This kid is a managerial genius!

Such a good seedling fell into her hands, she didn't guide and cultivate it well, she was sorry for herself!

Qiu Chen happily went back to the house, took a pile of raw edge paper that the children had used to practice calligraphy, sorted it out, repaired the burrs on the four sides with scissors, thought about it, and turned out a needle basket that had not been used for a long time, sewed the needle, sewed a pile of paper into a simple notepad with thread, and then sent it to Chengzi.

"Well, here's for you. When you burn the fire, you can also follow these words and practice them. When you get off work, you can also go and practice reading with Junyan Junzhang and them......" Qiu Chen said, while starting to think in his heart. With more and more children, shouldn't she consider hiring a gentleman to teach her children to read and write?

Mr. Xu teaches very well, and he also attaches great importance to Lin Xu, if only Mr. Xu could be dug into the Lin family.

This thought was just a flash, and he really started to dig up Mr. Xu, don't say it, he was already dissatisfied with the Lin family, and Liu Bingshan, the landlord of Liu, was offended. Although the Lin family is now living a better life, after all, it is not as deep as the roots of the landlord Liu, it is said that there are handovers in the town and county, and the Lin family is too far behind the others. If she thinks that she has a few dollars in her hand, and she wants to fight with the Liu family, then she thinks that her life is too comfortable, and she can't find herself in a hurry!

Qiu Chen is very self-aware here and only wants to live a stable life, but he doesn't want to, sometimes, a stable life is not up to him. Not everyone is like her, living a good neighbor and living a good life, but she always likes to look at the food in other people's bowls and want to grab it for herself.

Footsteps sounded, but it was Lin Xu who came to the backyard to take a look. Since that day the incense roe deer jumped into the yard, Lin Xu has developed the habit of patrolling the yard twice every night, this habit has changed after the courtyard wall, no longer getting up in the middle of the night, but changing to turn around before going to bed to see if there is any negligence, whether the fire in the stove is extinguished, and whether the door is bolted well, etc. Qiu Chen pondered, Lin Xu was the eldest man of the Lin family after all, and it was not a bad thing for him to have a sense of responsibility to take care of the family, so he did not stop it, and only instructed him a few times to be careful when he went to the backyard to patrol at night, and not to stumble.

Seeing Qiu Chen and Chengzi, Lin Xu was not surprised, the courtyard was full of wine today, and he didn't need to ask about the steaming wine at home.

"Sister-in-law, it's not early, you should go and rest early after a tiring day, I'll take care of it here!" Lin Xu walked over and said.

Qiu Chen looked at the sky, and had the intention to let Lin Xu go to sleep so as not to affect the next day's class, so he moved his mouth, but still responded with a smile: "Okay, it won't take too long, and it will be time to cease fire in half an hour." ”

As he spoke, he instructed Chengzi again: "Stop the fire, just seal the wine jar, these things are temporarily put away, and you will collect them tomorrow!" ”

Chengzi hurriedly restrained his hands, Qiu Chen looked at Lin Xu again, and he would not be cold, so he went back to the house.

I didn't sleep all night last night, and now I'm busy all day, and I don't feel sleepy when I'm busy, and when Qiu Chen climbs on the kang and gets into the quilt, he almost falls asleep next to the pillow, and he actually sleeps until dawn, and he doesn't even have a dream.

In the morning, Qiu Chen woke up to the chirping of birds in the eaves, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the window paper was white, he was slightly stunned, and quickly got up.

I slept soundly that night, and I woke up a little late.

Dressed and put on the kang, three or two washed their faces and combed their hair, and hurriedly took firewood and grass to make a fire for cooking.

A fire had just been lit here, Qiu Chen was digging a spoonful of meat oil and preparing to burst the pot, and the low laughter outside was accompanied by the horse's hooves, it was Lin Xu and Junwen Junshu Junyan Junzhang who went to walk the horse and mow the grass and came back. It seems that I am really late to wake up.

Qiu Chen beckoned a few children to wash their hands, and her movements were also increased.

I put the meat oil in the pot, added a bowl of oil and squeaked, cut a few thin shredded cabbage and boiled it, and then took a stack of pancakes and cut them into two finger-wide strips. Time is pressing, it's too late to make troublesome meals, last night the family loves to eat, the key is that you can eat when you open the pot, it's convenient!

The risotto is a bit like the mutton steamed bun method, but instead of soaking, it has to be boiled slightly, and the pancake eats the soup, the surface is soft and glutinous, and the heart is still very strong and chewy, which is better than noodles. It's just that the stew must be eaten quickly when it is ready, and after a long time, the cake will be soaked through and soft, and it will not taste good if it loses its chewiness.

Cutting the cake, a thin figure walked in, Qiu Chen looked up and saw that it was Chengzi, so he naturally said: "I slept late last night, why don't you sleep more today?" ”

Chengzi shook his head, thinking that he couldn't see Qiu Chen with his head down, so he said, "I'll wake up at dawn." ”

His family has to get up every day on Friday to fetch water, chop firewood to make breakfast, for several years, he has long been used to it, how can he lie in bed because he sleeps late for a while! What's more, although the master's family is kind now, after all, he is here to be an apprentice, and he has signed a deed, saying that it is okay to sell himself as a slave, so how can the master's family get busy, but he lies down and sleeps!

It was the master's family who treated him kindly, much better than his stepmother's treatment of him, which made him feel grateful, but kept secretly reminding himself that he must work hard and not be treated well by the master's family.

When Qiu Chen heard him say this, he didn't say anything anymore, and Chengzi automatically sat down in front of the stove and started a fire.

At this time, the earthen stove has to be burned and cooked, and it is busy up and down, although Qiu Chen has been here for nearly two months, sometimes he is still not used to it. At this time, with Chengzi helping to light the fire, it was naturally a lot easier.

She cut the bread, waited for the water to boil, and then went into the house to call Afu Aman, and after Junyan Junzhang slept with her brothers, she didn't need to call up, and every day she went to walk the horse and mow the grass with a few big men, and served the rouge and the three fragrant deer seeds, and every day she couldn't finish eating the grass, but she saw that the color of the hair became more and more slippery and slippery.

Ah Fu Aman got up and got dressed, Qiu Chen led the two to wash, and combed Ah Man's small horns. When he turned around and saw that Ah Fu had some long hair, he thought that he would no longer shave Ah Fu's hair, and it was time to keep his hair up. She has already asked, Ah Fu was born in August, and in more than four months, Ah Fu will be five years old. I kept my hair for more than a year, and when I was six years old, I went to school, and my hair grew neatly, and I was laughed at by my classmates when I went to school.

So, I went to find a cyan hair rope and tied a handful of long hair on the top of Ah Fu's head into a small braid...... After tying up, don't talk about Ah Fu, Qiu Chen couldn't help but laugh at first.

There are a lot of children in the village who have just grown their heads and wear such braids, and she doesn't feel anything, but now that Afuza has it, she feels a little funny, she was originally well-behaved and smart, but her image was ruined by such a pigtail, and her temperament really didn't match.

After pondering for a while, Qiu Chen circled the four ends of the sky and tied them tightly with a hair rope to form a small bun!

Well, a small bun on the top of the head, surrounded by short hair stubble, is still a bit nondescript, but it's better than being like a feather shuttlecock on the top.

changed his hairstyle Ah Fu, naturally attracted the attention of several brothers, Junwen was more stable when he was older, but Junyan Junzhang unceremoniously touched the bun on Ah Fu's head and laughed for a while, which made Ah Fu laugh down.

Qiu Chen saw that Ah Fu was pitiful, so he beckoned a few brothers to come over and serve the bowl: "Hurry up and come over to serve the bowl, you will come to work later, you will starve if you can't eat." ”

The brothers looked at each other, stuck out their tongues and giggled and ran over to serve the bowl, of course, the brothers did not forget to help Ah Fu and Aman also serve the bowl, and then they all sat around on the low table in the courtyard to eat breakfast.

Qiu Chen also brought a bowl over to eat, and after eating a few bites, Qiu Chen remembered one thing, so he asked Junwen: "Did you two brothers have time to bring a letter to the family that day?" ”

Junwen and Junshu nodded at the same time, and Junwen said: "It's coming, I want to come, the person who gave the letter was also trapped in the city that day, and I didn't bring the letter back that day." Calculate the time, my father and second uncle will be able to come over today. ”

Qiu Chen was also happy when he heard the news. Seeing that the pharmaceutical and liquor stalls were about to be rolled out, Junwen Junshu went to the county and almost had an accident, which made her still have palpitations, and she didn't dare to let go of the two of them for a while. If the eldest brother and the second brother can come, the outside affairs can naturally be handed over to them, and she can only concentrate on managing the pharmaceutical and wine production at home.

Although I was looking forward to Yang Shuyong and Yang Shumeng coming somewhat, he still said: "I forgot to tell you when I gave you the letter that day, don't urge your father to them, this time it's not a day or two, you have to arrange the family properly, and you can rest assured when you come here." ”

Junshu interjected with a smile at this time: "Auntie, you can rest assured." My father and second uncle often go out to catch the car on weekdays, and it is common to go for ten days and half a month, and they are used to leaving the family as soon as they leave. My mother and second aunt will naturally take care of the family. ”

"Well, it's not easy for your mother and your second aunt, you boys have grown up, but you have to honor them." Qiu Chen didn't know why, so he came to such a sentence. After saying that, I secretly laughed, I was really used to being a mother and an aunt, and I even liked to preach.

Junshu Junwen, even Junyan Junzhang hurriedly stopped eating when he heard this, and responded solemnly, but made Qiu Chen embarrassed, and waved his hand with a smile: "Just keep this in mind." Let's eat! ”

Risotto is still quite popular and loved by a group of children. Aman, in particular, was obviously very satisfied with this soft and fragrant rice, and his little mouth was oily and moved, so he swallowed a stewed cake, and then tried his best to pick up another one and put it into his big mouth...... It's a pleasure to eat that, and I can't care about the vegetable leaves on my cheeks.

A few children compete for me, and the food is extraordinarily delicious. When a large pot of risotto was snatched up, Lan Ying and several people also came to work.

As soon as she entered the door, Lan Ying smiled and said: "Before I entered the door, I smelled the aroma of wine and rice, my mouth was greedy, and my saliva was about to flow out." ”

Qiu Chen wiped Ah Fu Aman's mouth with a smile, and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks with his hands and feet. Chengzi also wanted to come over to help, Qiu Chen asked him to go to the backyard to prepare the second steaming wine, and while she was brushing the pot and washing the dishes, she called Lan Ying over and discussed things with her: "Now that we have added healing medicine, this piece of stir-fried medicine will not only be a kind of Luo Buma in the future." I thought that in the morning, when Luo Bu Ma was divided, the two stoves were used to fry other medicinal materials, and in the afternoon, both stoves were also used to fry Luo Bu Ma together. You've been walking around for the past few days and looking to pick out two of those kids...... Oh, Chengzi and Brother Quan, I have other uses, so you don't have to think about the two of them. ”

Lan Ying was a little stunned when she heard this, Haitang asked her to find two fried children, is this going to use her? But then she turned around, since she didn't shy away from her and let her choose people, then there must be another use for her. Anyway, she is open-minded enough, as long as she has a job to do, she doesn't care if she stirs up medicine or not, so she agrees bitterly.

"Cheng, I'll pay more attention to it in the past two days!" Lan Ying said and said, "It has to be children? I think the Aoyama family has quick hands and feet, and his temperament is also cool, but he is a good hand! ”

Qiu Chen smiled and nodded: "Well, Qingshan's family is good, it's a pity that she just fried medicine, I'm going to arrange individual work for her in a few days...... Qinghe's sister-in-law is not bad, but her eldest daughter is fifteen years old, and she has to find her in-law to marry, and when the time comes, I'm afraid she won't be able to come out. ”

Lan Ying nodded suddenly: "This is ......"

As he spoke, Qiu Chen also finished washing the pots and spoons, washed his hands, and beckoned Junwen and other Junshu to send the medicine to the crushing team, and then mentioned a kind of medicine that needed to be fried and went to the backyard.

Yesterday, the pot stove in Qiu Chen's house was fried for more than an hour, and it was still stir-fried, and there was a very strong smell of medicine in the house at night. There will be very thick smoke and dust when you fry charcoal today, and then fry it in the house...... There was no room for people in the house. And healing medicine needs to stop bleeding, and there happens to be more than one kind of medicine that needs to be concocted by charcoal. Therefore, from now on, Qiu Chen will move the fried medicine to the backyard. As for the secrecy of concocting jishu, she also thought about it, these helpers were all conscious before, and every time Lan Ying fried medicine, she knew to avoid it. So, she doesn't need to worry too much for the time being. When the conditions are better, it is enough to build a special shed for frying medicine, and isolate the operation of the varieties that need to be kept secret.

Junyan Junzhang and Afu Aman can't play everywhere today, Qiu Chen handed them all over to Junshu, and asked Junshu to take them to write and do questions, and when she was done, she would come back to teach them how to read.

After arranging these, when Qiu Chen came to the backyard, Junwen had already lit a fire, Qiu Chen instructed him to roughly subdivide the medicinal materials first, and she went to see Chengzi Dazhuang and Yuxiang who were cleaning and reinstalling the distillation equipment. Today, two jars of raw liquor are still distilled, and after the first distillation, the second distillation is done tomorrow after combining the alcohol obtained from yesterday with the alcohol concentration. According to the amount of wine produced yesterday, Qiu Chen roughly estimated that each jar of twenty catties of liquor could probably distill about five catties of 7% concentration alcohol. Four jars of eighty catties of liquor, after distillation, almost eighteen to nineteen catties of alcohol can be obtained, under such simple conditions, can have such a high yield rate, Qiu Chen is very satisfied.

Seeing that there was no problem with the installation of the distillation equipment, Qiu Chen went to look at the grinding side again, and then turned back, Junwen had already divided the preparation of the medicinal materials for stir-frying, Qiu Chen went to bring a basin of water, put it on the side of the pot, and then took two cloth towels for Junwen and himself to wear, covering their mouths and noses, and at the same time wrapping all the hair collars, in case they would choke on the smoke when they stir-fried the medicine, as for the eyes...... She really couldn't help it, she didn't go out to find the sealed glasses at this time.

In order to explain clearly, Qiu Chen took a coarse material and a fine material and fried them separately.

It is rare that the surface of the medicine should be fried until it is blackened and browned, and it will become charcoal, but the inside of the medicine still needs to be preserved! If the whole herb is completely carbonized, it will lose its medicinal properties and cannot be used. From this point of view, it is more difficult to fry charcoal with coarse medicine, but it is relatively easy to survive.

Qiu Chen instructed Junwen to burn the fire while explaining the step-by-step operation procedures to him. Charcoal frying is a martial fire, so the herbs are put into a hot pot and need to be stir-fried quickly and continuously.

Very, there were clouds of black-brown smoke rising from here, and the smoke was mixed with the smell of choking medicine, even if Qiu Chen was wrapped in a cloth towel, his eyes were still choking, and his snot was also very runny.

In this way, Qiu Chen can't leave a little, not only to constantly stir up the medicinal materials, but also to pay close attention to the situation of the medicinal materials in the pot, as soon as there is an overheat and sparks, he quickly dips it in water and sprinkles it to extinguish it, otherwise, it may cause a fire, not to mention, let the sparks develop, it will be completely carbonized by the medicinal materials, causing the medicine to lose its medicinal properties and be scrapped.

Okay, the amount of charcoal medicine in the healing medicine formula is not too large, it just plays an auxiliary role in astringency and hemostasis, after Qiu Chen demonstrated the thickness of the two medicinal materials, Junwen took the shovel and tried to operate, while Qiu Chen looked at the firepower while guiding at any time.

After Junwen fried two pots, he basically mastered the key points of operation, and Qiu Chen also taught him how to fry the medicine.

At this moment, a thin layer of clouds slowly climbed up in the sky, and the wind also rose, Qiu Chen smiled and said, "It seems that God can't see us suffering this sin!" ”

With the wind, the fried medicine man stood on the wind outlet to fry, and the smoke was much worse, and it was not as embarrassing and uncomfortable as before.

Lan Ying also moved to the upper hand, exhaled a long breath, and said with a smile: "You two are like this, the smoke is billowing, if you don't know, you think you're out of the water!" ”

In the morning, Qiu Chen and Junwen finally finished frying the charcoal medicine, and even though the aunt and nephew surrounded their mouths, noses, heads and faces, they were still very uncomfortable with the charcoal smoke. As soon as he untied the cloth towel, Qiu Chen looked at Junwen and was stunned, and then hahadaxiao got up.

Junwen has been going out less these days, his skin is much whiter, and the skin of young people is delicate and smooth, but the part covered by the cloth towel is still the same, but the bridge of the nose, eyes and eyebrows on the outside of the cloth towel are smoked with a layer of black ash, which forms a clear contrast with the skin on the chin and nose Two colors, just like ...... is like a harlequin in the opera, but the bridge of the nose of the ugly artist is painted with white oil paint, but Junwen's face is just the opposite, the bridge of the nose, eyes, even the eyelids, and eyelashes are hung with a layer of fumigated fog and black gray, which makes his black and white eyes extremely bright, but at first glance, it is very comedy!

She smiled so suddenly, very abruptly, and naturally attracted other people, Lan Ying, the Qingshan family, and the Qinghe family all came over suspiciously, and when they saw Qiu Chen and Junwen's faces, they couldn't help laughing. Being laughed at by them like this, Qiu Chen remembered his face in hindsight, and subconsciously wiped it with his hand...... Okay, it was just the bridge of the eyes and nose that was blackened, and after this wipe, the whole face was spent as a little ghost!

Xiangxiang leaned on one side of her mother, eating tender grass without a bite, and laughter suddenly broke out in the yard, which made it very puzzled, hesitantly raised its head, stared at a pair of brown eyes and looked out of the fence, and saw a yard of people laughing and clapping their hands, and gasping and rubbing their stomachs, but they still couldn't stop laughing.
