CHAPTER XXIII

Du Qiyue spent a little effort to hide the money and then went to Liu Momo's house, Liu Ge'er had already changed into a set of old clothes and jumped on the rape stack to help step on it, looking at the color and style of the clothes should have been worn by Huzi when he was a child, and now he wears it on Liu Ge'er's body to make him look more like a young man.

When Liu Momo saw Du Qiyue, he stopped his movements, wiped his sweat and asked, "Xiaoyue, what's wrong?" โ€

"I'm here to ask you something." Du Qiyue lifted the hem of his robe a little, tied a knot at the knee, walked to the rape stack to help them step on it and said: "The boss of Zuifulou asked me to help make snacks, I saw that this work was very good, and I really wanted to come down, but I don't know if I can go out to work during the filial piety period, so I want to ask." โ€

"Brother Liu has already told me about this, you just have to go, the countryman has the biggest livelihood, you have to live a life and take exams, and you will have to spend a lot of money in the future, you can't sit and eat empty, you go to do a job to make money, no one will gossip." Just remember, you can't get out if you don't go into the kitchen, reading is the right way. Liu Mo said.

"I'll read at home." Du Qiyue said.

"It's good if you know, go to work with peace of mind, that's the restaurant where your father used to work, and people will always take care of you when you go there." Liu Momo said with some emotion.

Du Qiyue didn't answer again, lowered her head and stepped on the rape under her feet, as if venting her anger.

In fact, according to Du Qiyue's own ideas, he is very good as a pastry chef in Zuifu Building, Wu Mingyao looks like a good boss, as long as he has skills, he is not afraid of not making money. But after these observations in the past few days, Du Qiyue feels that with his current situation, it is best to take the Xiucai test, even if he is just admitted to a child, his life in the countryside will be much more comfortable, at least others will not bully him as casually as now.

The reason why people like the Qian family and Du Fujin's family dare to calculate him is because Du Qiyue is just an ordinary man now, and there is no one else who can help him except for the Chen family, and they feel that they will be fine if they are bullied. If it weren't for the fact that the original owner was good at studying, and he looked expected to be admitted to Xiucai, the clan would definitely not help him in these two things. Therefore, Du Qiyue must make himself promising, otherwise there will be a lot of people who will bully him in the future, and maybe he won't be able to find a helper by then.

Du Qiyue buried his head in stepping on rape, and it didn't take long for someone from the Chen family to come. This person is none other than Brother Lang Qiu'er, the husband of Orion Du Dashan, who is carrying a big basket in his hand, and comes over and says, "Liu Momo, our head has caught a lot of fat voles in the small hill, and I have slaughtered a few of them and sent them to you to try." โ€

"It's good if you keep it at home, why don't you send it over!" Liu Momo excused himself.

Brother Qiu directly stuffed the basket into Liu Momo's arms and said, "We still have a lot of them at home, and we can't eat them for a while, so I'll send a few to people I know well to taste it." Besides, I didn't give it to you in vain, the shoes you embroidered before were very beautiful, and I want to ask you to borrow them for a few days. โ€

"Then I will accept these voles unceremoniously, you wait, I'll go get the embroidery sample." Brother Qiu said so, and Liu Momo didn't shirk anymore, reached out and took the basket and entered the house.

Brother Qiu stood at the door and waited, Du Qiyue thought of making milk cakes, so he walked over and asked, "Qiu Fulang, I don't know if you still have goat milk at home, I want to buy some with you." โ€

Goat's milk is a good thing, rich people love to buy this to make snacks to eat, Du Dashan's family has more than a dozen ewes, every day the milked milk will be transported to the town to sell, can be sold for a lot of money. Brother Qiu was naturally happy to see that Du Qiyue wanted to buy it, so he smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I'm about to go back to milking." How much do you want, I'll squeeze it and send it home for you. โ€

"I want a catty, but I'll just get it myself, and I don't have to trouble you to send it over. How much is a pound? โ€

"Twenty cents. Then you can go with me, the latest is the freshest. Qiu Ge'er said.

"Cheng, Qiu Fulang, you go back first, I'll go home and get the jar, and I'll go over in a while." Du Qiyue said, put down the hem of his robe and walked home.

After Du Qiyue went home, he found a clean jar, took another twenty yuan and went to Du Dashan's house.

On the edge of Liushuwan Village are two connected hills, and Du Dashan's family lives not far from the foot of the mountain, and there is a livestock shed behind his house. When Du Qiyue arrived, Brother Qiu was milking goats, and when he saw him coming, he beckoned him to stand at the door and wait, "Master Du, don't come in, this livestock shed is dirty and smelly, you wait a minute, I'll squeeze this one for you after squeezing it." โ€

"I see, you don't have to rush." Du Qiyue said, and then silently retreated to the ventilated place at the door. Although the barn was cleaned up, the smell of sheep was still very strong, mixed with the stench from the pigsty next to it, and it was really disgusting to smell it.

Brother Qiu looked up and saw Du Qiyue standing far away, and knew that it was the smell of the livestock shed that smoked him, so he smiled and said: "Master Du, I remember that your family also raises sheep, why don't you get used to this taste." โ€

"My two sheep are still small, but they don't taste very good." Du Qiyue said.

"That's right, you've always only raised one ewe, and the rest are lambs, so there's no taste." Brother Qiu said, thinking that the relationship between the two was still very good when Zhao Momo was alive in the past, so he sighed and said: "Your family used to breed ewes and came to my house, I'm afraid you won't raise sheep in the future, right?" โ€

"Raised, my livestock shed is big, it's a pity not to raise it empty." However, Du Qiyue will definitely not raise too many sheep in the future, although the mutton is delicious and the price is expensive, but the sheep is big and noisy, it is better to raise a few more pigs.

Brother Qiu finished milking a ewe, stood up and patted the dust on his body, walked to the door, took the crockpot in Du Qiyue's hand, and sat down next to the other ewe, before saying: "If you don't understand anything about raising sheep in the future, just come and ask me, I have been raising sheep since I was a child, but I know something." โ€

This Qiu Ge'er was not originally from the Dafeng Dynasty, he was the brother of a grassland tribe in the border pass of the Dafeng Dynasty. He used to live in a harsh climate and a difficult life, only women and strong and beautiful brothers could marry, and it was difficult for a brother like him who was not strong enough and not beautiful enough to marry. His family was poor and had many brothers, and his parents saw that he couldn't get married, and they didn't want to keep supporting him, so they sold him to Renyazi for some money for his brothers to marry. However, Brother Qiu was lucky, because he didn't look good, he wasn't sold to those pickled places, and he came to Dahu Town with Renyazi all the way, and was bought back by Du Dashan, and now his life is also prosperous.

The weather was slowly getting hotter, and the goat's milk couldn't be left for long after being squeezed out, so Du Qiyue went into the kitchen and began to deal with it after returning home. The milk cakes he saw sold in the town before were actually very easy to make, milk or goat's milk mixed with flour and steamed well, the reason why everyone thought it was โ–กโ–ก expensive was because most people didn't know how to get rid of the fishy smell in the milk, but it was not difficult for Du Qiyue.

Du Qiyue took out some tea leaves from the cabinet, wrapped them in gauze and put them in a clay pot, and then put the clay pot in a large pot with half a pot of water to heat it. In this way, it can not only eliminate the smell of milk, but also sterilize, because boiling it in water will not destroy the nutrients in goat's milk.

After the goat's milk was cooked, Du Qiyue drank some by himself, and he took out the tea bag and cooled it and poured it into the pot, then added some flour and sugar and stirred it over low heat while heating. Under Du Qiyue's stirring, the milk paste soon began to become viscous, and when the viscosity was almost unstirring, he stopped heating and let the goat milk paste solidify naturally.

"Brother Xiaoyue, what are you doing delicious, why is it so fragrant!" Brother Liu ran in from outside with a basket of vegetables and asked.

"I'm making custard, it's fragrant, I'll cut it for you when it's cool."

Brother Liu'er's eyes lit up when he heard this, he put down the basket and walked to the front of the stove, bent down and stared down at the white milk cake in the pot with wide eyes, while twitching his nose vigorously to smell the hot milk aroma rising from the pot, and the words "I am very greedy" were written all over his face.

"Brother Xiaoyue, you are so good, you can even make such fine pastries. It's a lot of money to sell in this town! Liu Ge'er said, while taking advantage of Du Qiyue's inattention, he secretly stretched out a finger and pressed it on the edge of the milk cake, and then quickly withdrew it and put it to his mouth and licked it.

Du Qiyue saw Brother Liu'er's small movements out of the corner of his eyes, but he didn't see it, and said: "Hurry up and come over to help wash the vegetables, it's not too early, if you don't cook, your father and brother will be hungry." โ€

"Oh, let's wash it." Brother Liu glanced at the small depression on the edge of the custard cake that was pressed by him, and responded with a little weakness.

After the two made a dish, the custard cake cooled and set, Du Qiyue cut it into even small pieces and hit a large plate, and said to Brother Liu who was staring at his movements with a smile: "Don't look at it, eat it quickly." โ€

Brother Liu immediately happily reached out and grabbed a big bite, and the two cheeks bulged and said, "Wow, it's so fragrant, it's delicious, it's delicious." โ€

"I can only eat another piece, and the rest will be eaten again when I am hungry after eating."

Brother Liu finished eating the milk cake in his hand in three or two bites, reached out and took another piece, nodded while stuffing it into his mouth and said, "Well, just eat two pieces, it's so delicious, no wonder this one is so expensive." โ€

Liu Momo also came over soon, and also tasted two pieces of milk cake, and he was full of praise for the soft taste of the milk cake and the sweet milk flavor. When he went to the field to deliver food, Du Qiyue also asked Brother Liu to bring a few pieces for Chen Youqing and Huzi, and the two men also thought that the milk cake tasted good, but they always thought that the soft and white milk cake was more suitable for brothers and girls.
