Chapter 67: A Visit (1)
Li Ziyu squinted and watched Mrs. Zhang walk away, turned around and went home.
She suddenly remembered that when she brought the puppet back that day, she had met several widows Zheng at the entrance of the village, and one of them seemed to be from Lin Yuanzhi's family, called Wang.
She really dared to think that she would hit herself with the idea. As for Lin Qiang in his family, if his brain is not burned out, she will not be able to take a fancy to it.
She is now full of how to live a good life, where does she have the heart to think about this? Besides, she's too young, isn't she, ten years later, she will only be twenty-one, right? Where is this? It's really speechless.
Li Ziyu returned to the West House, and when she saw Xiaoshan and they were all looking at her worriedly, she smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just a matter of asking for directions." ”
She knew that it was okay to bluff the three little ones with her words, but Xiao Shan and Xiaowen definitely didn't believe it.
Although it was not very real to hear it in the room talking at the door, Mrs. Zhang had a high voice, and Xiaoshan and they must know what was going on.
Li Ziyu saw that the younger siblings were not very interested, and they definitely couldn't settle down in their studies, so she said with great interest: "Let's have a good meal today, right?" ”
"Good! Eat good, eat good! ”
Three small positive responses, scrambling to ask what to eat.
Li Ziyu thought about the ingredients at home, after taking all the vegetables in the wooden box to the hot pot city last time, every little left over from the family was eaten one after another.
Although the vegetables in the later stage are growing well, they cannot be eaten yet, and it is expected that some will be eaten during the New Year. There are also cabbage and radishes bought from Shiyan Town, and there are not many left, only one cabbage and two radishes left.
It seems that there is still a big purchase to purchase all the supplies needed for the New Year.
The meat at home also includes a pheasant and two hares, both of which were shot when I went to Asa Mountain to train darts a few days ago.
Recently, I have been active in the mountains a lot, so there is no shortage of game. She didn't sell it anymore, and kept it for her family to improve their lives. Because as the level of training increases, the nutrition of the younger siblings must keep up.
At noon today, let's make a hare meat stewed radish, and the main food is steamed sorghum rice and dry rice, and then put a cabbage leaf soup.
Li Ziyu and her younger siblings talked about the noon recipe, in exchange for a burst of cheers.
Xiaoshan also put down his books and followed his sister to make lunch.
The two sisters were quick with their hands and feet, and in less than an hour, a steaming, colorful, and fragrant lunch was ready.
Put the kang table on the kang, and the sisters sat around the kang table and had lunch lively. Because the underground dining table has been turned into a desk, they eat every meal on the kang.
After lunch, Li Ziyu asked Xiaoshan to continue to take her younger siblings to learn and read, but she turned over the leftover cloth head from the last time she made a puppet and prepared to make a rag doll.
She wanted to make a Snow White with seven dwarfs this time, so the cloth needed was a bit much. After pouring out all the cloth heads, she imagined what Snow White would look like while picking up the fabric she needed.
The reason why she made these puppets was because she wanted to visit Fu's house a few years ago. She also knew that it was a bit inappropriate to go like this, and she and Miss Fu were not on the same level at all. But if you don't do anything, you won't be reconciled, how do you know if you can't try it?
The last time we broke up, Miss Fu said that she could go to her if she had something. When she said this, whether she was kind or sincere, she took it as true. Sometimes, you have to be thick-skinned, or you can't get anything done.
In fact, she once wanted to go to Wu Fan, thinking about whether she could compete with the Sun family with Wu Fan's connections. Later, when he thought that he might be involved in the assassination, he gave up the idea of looking for Wu Fan.
Then in Shiyan Town, among the people she barely knows, only Miss Fu is left among those who have a certain strength.
But just went to the door like this, and it was a little unbearable to go empty-handed. If you really go like this, you don't respect yourself and your friends, after all, it's the first time you come to the door, it's too rude to go, it's better not to go, so as not to offend people.
But what do you have at home? It's not impossible to really buy some valuables, after all, you still have some money in your hands. However, what you think is valuable may not be taken into account. What good things haven't you seen in that kind of person?
Therefore, Li Ziyu thought of simply making a puppet and making something that Daye Chao did not have. This is his own strength, both novel and chic, and his own mind, Fu Xiaoshuang should also like it.
That's why we have today's upside down.
It took Li Ziyu two days to finish Snow White and the seven dwarfs.
When Li Ziyu put several puppets with different expressions together, several younger siblings called out in surprise. The main thing is that a few puppets are too successful, not only the shape of Snow White, but mainly the ingenious design of several dwarfs is just like the real thing. Xiaohu and Xiaolan pounced directly on the puppet, hugged a puppet and didn't let go.
Li Ziyu coaxed and coaxed, until she promised to make them better in the future, Xiaohu and Xiaolan reluctantly let go.
The next day is the eighteenth day of the lunar month, which is the big gathering of Shiyan Town.
Li Ziyu wrapped the finished puppet in a piece of cyan muslin and put it in a bamboo basket. On top of the puppet, there is a deerskin that was cooked last time, and it is the big one. The deerskin fur was also wrapped in blue muslin.
In fact, when she decided to give this big deerskin, Li Ziyu was still a little reluctant, she wanted to make a pair of deerskin boots for each of her younger siblings and soaked in the soup. The two fawn skins at home are only enough for one person's boots. Alas, let's talk about it later, this is the best and most valuable thing in the family, I hope the Fu family will like it.
At the top of the basket is a smaller basket with a few vegetables, which is covered with oiled paper, and there is no fear of staining the contents underneath.
In order to prevent the small bamboo basket from falling, Li Ziyu fixed the small bamboo basket on the big bamboo basket with hemp rope, and then set off with confidence.
Today, Li Ziyu put on new clothes and new shoes, this time it was the pair of satin cotton shoes made by Yang Liu. Dressed up like this, the whole person looks much more beautiful.
Because she has to buy a lot of things for the New Year, Li Ziyu has more than 100 taels of silver in her arms today, there is a way to be poor and rich, and it is not a bad thing to bring more, what if there is anything to buy?
Because he was in a hurry, Li Ziyu entered Shiyan Town in less than an hour.
Li Ziyu walked through the bustling crowd, walked north along Huating Street for a while, turned into Dongxiang and walked into Tongji Street, and walked for about ten minutes to the back street of the county office.
It may be near the county office, and it is very quiet.
Li Ziyu looked around, and saw that most of the surrounding houses were bungalows with blue bricks and tiles, which may have been built for a long time, and the courtyard walls were mottled traces left by the years. Weeds have grown in the cracks of the roof tiles, and the yellow weeds are swaying in the cold wind, showing the bleakness and silence of winter.
Towering trees grow on both sides of the street, some of which are decades old. The crown of the ancient tree is like an umbrella cover, and the branches are bent and vigorous.
Li Ziyu knocked on the back door according to the address given by Fu Xiaoshuang last time.
The back door, hidden behind several large trees, were two blue-black wooden doors with two brass rings inlaid on them. The copper ring has been polished to a shiny shine, and there is a delicate and smooth feeling in the hand.
Because the back door is closed, Li Ziyu is the copper ring that was buckled just now.
After waiting for a while, the two back doors were opened, and a fourteen or fifteen servant came out and asked, "Who are you?" Is there a prayer post? ”
