Chapter 16: You are all my family
86_86270 Shan Xing hesitated for a moment, then stopped talking, lowered his head and sat down with a heavy heart.
Qin Mengdie saw that she had something: "Shanxing, what else is there to say between us?" We are a family, and your business is our business? ”
Shui Ling and Shui Lian hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Shan Xing stood up and knelt down in front of Qin Mengdie: "Miss, my father was originally a county magistrate in Weiyuan County, but later he was framed and beheaded, I happened to accompany my grandfather and grandmother to the mountains to collect medicine, and I went for a month, and when I came back, I knew that the whole family was killed by traitors, so we survived incognito, my grandfather and grandmother are old, but now they can only live in seclusion in the thatched house next to the City God Temple, I want to ask Miss to help me settle the second elder, I am willing not to marry for the rest of my life, and serve Miss for life." ”
Qin Mengdie didn't get up no matter how she dragged the apricot to her, she squatted down: "We all said that we are a family, and your relatives are the same as my relatives, so you can rest assured that I will let the second elder spend his old age in peace, you get up, don't mention any more deed of sale to me." ”
Shan Xing kowtowed three times: "Miss, my life will be Miss's in the future." Then he stood up.
"How many people know your grandparents?" Qin Mengdie asked.
"It's not much, and it's been seven years since this happened, the second elder's life is not good, he has changed a lot, and he has changed his name, my grandfather is now called Li Cai, I can feel their aging every time I see them, and their bodies are getting worse day by day." As he spoke, tears fell down like beads with broken threads.
"That's easy to do, I still want someone to recognize, I can only let them go away, no one recognizes, then directly to our newly bought yard, it happens to be empty, we also need someone is not, please come back to be a housekeeper, but you have to dig through the tunnel, now there is not settled over there, when you can pass, clean up and pick up the second elder, but don't worry, I will let Dali send them some food these days, and I will not let the second elder suffer."
"Thank you, Miss, as long as they give their two elders a place to stay, even if it is a caretaker, I can't afford to be a housekeeper." Shan Xing hurriedly said.
Qin Mengdie smiled and patted Shan Xing's hand: "Where can I find such a good housekeeper, how many secrets do we have in this yard, who can I rest assured?" Your grandparents didn't come to trouble me, but to help us, and it's too late for me to thank you. Then he turned to Shui Ling and said, "Thank you cousin too, he is also helping us, we will have more business to do in the future, I will definitely reuse him." ”
Shan Xing and Shui Ling wanted to kneel down and thank them, but Qin Mengdie hurriedly stopped them.
At this time, Shui Lian was silently shedding tears, Qin Mengdie knew that she was an orphan girl now, and she had no relatives, so she took her hand and said, "Don't be sad, I am your relative." Qin Mengdie understands Shuilian's thoughts, she is as helpless as herself, but others don't understand.
Shan Xing and Shui Ling also came over: "We are also your relatives." "A couple of girls hugged each other......
Before dawn the next day, Qin Mengdie went to his house with the pattern of copper hot pot, it was convenient to be close, and after entering, he didn't find Wang Dali, and went down to the dry well, sure enough, Wang Dali dug the tunnel again, this power of love is better than money.
Seeing Qin Mengdie, King Wang was stunned for a moment: "Why is Miss here?" What time is it? ”
"It's not dawn yet, I came to look for you for something, you take these ten taels of silver today to go to the edge of the Chenghuang Temple, find an old man named Li Cai, and say that this is given by Shan Xing, let them rest assured, and say that they will be picked up after a while."
"Okay, miss, I'll go in a moment."
"Dali, you also prepare a few decent sets of clothes, from the thirty taels of silver, which can be regarded as work clothes."
"What is workwear?
"It's just the clothes that I bought for the needs of work, we don't pay so much attention to it, you just buy a few pieces as you like, which can be regarded as the face of our house, this should be paid for by me."
"It's all at Miss's orders."
"By the way, you worked in the blacksmith shop, can you see if this thing I drew can be made of copper?"
Wang Dali took the drawing and moved it to the entrance of the cave: "It should be able to be built, but what is this?" ”
"This is a kind of food use, you can taste it in the future, can we make it now?"
"Do it, don't worry, you tell me the requirements clearly, I will go to the City God Temple and go to the blacksmith shop by the way, and you will run again."
"Okay, then I'll be able to go back to the yard before dawn, and I'll have to go back at night."
Qin Mengdie explained the details of the hot pot, and handed over the steamed buns made by Shui Ling to Wang Dali, before returning to the courtyard, I have been tired enough in the past few days, and I can't go out every day, I have nothing to do today, I decided to practice calligraphy at home, and be a female celebrity, so that the people who sweep the floor can see themselves, even if no one pays attention, they have to be restrained.
After breakfast, I saw that the housekeeper who was sweeping the yard was sweeping the outside of his yard, Qin Mengdie hurriedly practiced swords in the yard with a smile, and after crossing over, Xiaoxiao's personality also changed, and he was innocent and naughty.
However, it is very important for children's education, Qin Mengdie wrote down the three-character scripture, and also practiced writing by herself, each piece of paper was dismantled into a palm-size, and four sentences of the three-character scripture were written on it. Teach a smile and recite a piece every day, there is no three-character scripture in this era, and the apricot is also called wonderful, this sentence is simple and clear, but every sentence has a mystery. Qin Mengdie thought to herself: This has been passed down by people for many years, but in front of others, she said that she was instructed by a master by chance, and as for who the master is, it should be Yunyou.
Every day, she recalls and recalls the poems in her memory, and writes them as practice, so as not to forget them after a long time, even if she can't use them in the future, but it is also her own wealth.
In the past few days, everyone has collected almost all the osmanthus flowers in the yard, and pasted notes in order to make osmanthus wine. In the afternoon, she embroidered a handkerchief, she really has no talent, so she can embroider a handkerchief purse is also considered to be satisfied, can not force everything to be proficient, nothing to Xiaoxiao made a few puppet dolls, children like it, hold it every day, sleep and let go.
Qin Mengdie thought while embroidering her purse: The only instrument she knows is the recorder she learned in elementary school, there is no such instrument at all in this era, she will be aerobics when she dances, it is estimated that she can scare the ancients, chess is not bad, and I play Go online every day, but I don't know if it is the same thing as chess in this era. I read a lot of books, and the paintings can make do, but in the past, it was mainly sketches, gouache and oil paintings, and Chinese painting only knew a little about fur.
I calculated it myself, I can't call it a talented woman at all, it's more suitable to do business, and the most thorough study I have studied over the years is the art of war, but it's a pity that I can't use it in modern times, and it seems that I can only make money when I travel to ancient times or peaceful and prosperous times. Thinking about falling asleep, I'm too tired these days, I was woken up by laughter at dinner, and the little girl scratched her nose with a feather, which was really getting more and more naughty.
After dinner, taking turns digging tunnels, Qin Mengdie didn't go out today, working with everyone. In the next few days, she occasionally went to the restaurant, and the business of the restaurant was still full, but it was not like the beginning when she queued up and sent to the alley, and the income was close to balancing, about thirty to forty taels a day.
That night, Wang Dali threw a stone outside the wall, and drew three lines on it, which was a secret signal, and did not speak, but fell into a wooden box with a rope, and Shui Ling took the box, tied the bag with the bun to the rope, and sent it back. Then he called out to Shan Xing, and the two carried the box into the house.
Qin Mengdie was also worried about this thing, opened the box, a copper hot pot, exactly the same as the pattern she painted, she had seen the pot of this era, but set up an iron basin on the charcoal brazier, which was neither hygienic nor safe, her own was built according to the hot pot of Donglaishun, after the improvement of these generations, the decisive match was the most suitable.
smiled and asked curiously: "Mother, there is a chimney in the middle of this basin, so strange?" ”
Qin Mengdie also wants to try this thing, but it's the middle of the night, do you want to eat supper? But this thing is not convenient to eat during the day, and it is not good for others to see it, so let's try it quickly, let Shui Lian prepare vegetables and meat, let Shan Xing burn charcoal, I originally wanted to let Shui Ling sleep with a smile, this child has followed Shui Ling since he was a child, but when he saw a new object, he said that he didn't sleep, a stick of incense, everything was almost ready, and there were not many seasonings at home. It's really strange in this era, it is said that chili peppers should not have been there so early, but they do, and they have not seen it.
Qin Mengdie instructed: "Shui Ling, you go and use a small mill to grind all the sesame seeds into pulp." Roll out the ripe peanuts and chop the green onion and coriander. The water lotus fried the minced garlic in oil. ”
A few people are fast, and after a while, a few small bowls are served, which can be regarded as the most comprehensive for the time being, the sesame paste is unraveled with salt and a little warm water, and then put in different sauces according to your preferences, and start eating hot pot.
Except for Qin Mengdie, everyone agreed that this was the best food, but Qin Mengdie thought in his heart that he would try to make tofu after a while, and then the hot pot would taste better, and this sesame paste was not difficult to make, so after eating, he let Shui Ling grind some and put it in a bottle, and tomorrow I have to let Feng Yuye and Mo Wenyuan taste it, I haven't seen it for several days. I don't know many people, so I miss it a little
