Chapter 176: New Year's Flavor
The carpentry shop and the blacksmith's workshop were also built, and work could begin when the tools and materials were ready. The sewing room has already started, Ruoyun has drawn a lot of cartoon images, and they have colored them, and taught them how to make doll toys hand in hand.
Now they have made a lot of finished products, which makes Feng Xiaozhen very happy, as a nine-year-old girl, she likes these toys so much, she holds and refuses to let go of every time she makes one, and she can't wait to stay in the sewing room at night, just to hold these toys.
In the end, his mother Zhang had no choice but to ask Ruoyun embarrassedly, can she let herself play with her own Xiao Zhen, Ruoyun smiled, she thought that Xiao Zhen liked it so much, they would have taken it home to play, anyway, there are so many here, no one will see it at all, I didn't expect Zhang to be so honest and not greedy.
"Of course, Aunt Zhang, you just let Xiao Zhen take one of the ready, I see that she has been busy in the sewing room recently, even if I reward her. But we have to buy this in our own shop, and before the shop is on the market, we can only play at home, and we can't take it out. Ruoyun said.
Xiao Zhen jumped three feet high happily when she heard this, "Xiao Zhen knows, Xiao Zhen doesn't take it out, Xiao Zhen has thanked the girl." Then he jumped up and down to the finished product, hesitated for a long time, looked at the one that was good-looking, and finally gritted his teeth and picked a pink kitten with a bow and said, "Girl, can Xiao Zhen take this pink cat?" ”
"Of course." Ruoyun said with a smile. This is a hellokitty with a bow, but because the ancients didn't understand English, Ruoyun named it Pink Cat, because this cat is mostly pink, and the name is appropriate.
During this period, that Li Cuicui also came to Ruoyun several times, but because of Chunye's advice, she was stopped by Uncle Niu under various excuses and didn't let her in. Although Li Cuicui was very annoyed, she still came over every once in a while, thinking that she might run into someone from Fuyuan.
And from the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the New Year's flavor in the village has gradually become full, and on the twenty-third day, Mama Liu took everyone to sacrifice the stove. Twenty-four families began to clean the house, although the house in Fuyuan was cleaned when they first moved over, but Mama Liu still organized everyone to wipe and sweep everywhere, which is a good implication.
Twenty-five families began to grind tofu, Fuyuan did not need to grind tofu, Liu Mama sent someone to buy a lot of tofu outside, and then the kitchen began to fry tofu, croquettes, that day the whole Fuyuan was filled with a smell of fried things, even Ruoyun couldn't help but let people bring the freshly fried tofu and meatballs over to taste.
There are several kinds of fried meatballs, including tofu balls, meatballs and vegetarian meatballs, and the tofu is also cut into pieces and fried golden, just fried, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, salty and delicious, not to mention how delicious.
Liu Niangzi in the kitchen knew that her girls and young masters were from the north, and she specially consulted Mama Liu, and fried the fried small fruits (some places are also called fried rows) and fried dumplings that the children especially ate during the Chinese New Year in the north, just fried out and steaming, crispy and fragrant, Tian'er and Brother Ming are particularly fond of eating, and the two of them took one hand to eat, and finally Ruoyun was afraid that they would eat too much fried food, and their appetite was not good, so they asked someone to take the plate away, so they gave up.
And what made Ruoyun cry and laugh even more was that the foodie left at night, actually smelled the smell, found the kitchen and took the food himself, and finally asked Mrs. Liu to fill him with a plate of freshly fried food, and then he walked away. Ruoyun couldn't help but hold his forehead after hearing this, it really lost his usual cool and cold image.
On the twenty-sixth day, there are no pigs in Fuyuan, and it is not easy to kill them, but Mama Liu has already ordered three big fat pigs in the village, one is used by Li Dacheng on the day of his relatives, and the other two are kept in Fuyuan for the New Year.
Tian'er and Brother Ming were also taken by Mama Liu to see the pig killing, and when they came back, they happily led a group of people to carry three big fat pigs, followed by many children, all holding the candy that Tian'er gave them.
After those people sent the pigs over, they kept saying auspicious words, Ruoyun looked like it, and couldn't help but ask people to give the pig money, and everyone who sent the pig over had a reward.
In order to please a good fortune is 66 Wen per person, you must know that 66 Wen can make the average person spend half a month, these young men did not expect to send a pig to get so much money, can't help but be overjoyed, after going back to the village to praise the Fuyuan how much good, get the people who did not come are itchy.
And those little radish heads who came back with Tian'er, Ruoyun also grabbed a handful of candy melon seeds or something for each person, usually only Tian'er and Brother Ming play together in Fuyuan, or one less, if they can make friends in the village, Ruoyun also likes it. Her idea is to let Tian'er not just be a young master at home, go out to make some friends, and it is good to know some interpersonal communication and human warmth.
On the other side, the carpentry workshop and the blacksmith's room are also starting the experiment today, what is the start of the trial, that is, Ruoyun gave them a drawing first, and asked them to do it first, after all, they are all things that have not been touched before, and they still need to think about it first.
Ruoyun first gave them the drawings of the baby walker, which is very common in modern times, the overall body needs to be made of wood by carpenters, and the axle inside the wheel and the iron sheet of the bread outside the wheel need to be made by the blacksmith.
This thing is actually not difficult, the body is relatively simple to make, but the wheels need to be explained in detail by Ruoyun, because Ruoyun is made of universal wheels, which is still a little different from the wheels they usually do, which can only be front and rear.
After listening to Ruoyun's explanation, several craftsmen's eyes suddenly lit up, they didn't expect the wheel to sit like this, the girl's drawings are really ingenious, and a few people are full of energy, and they must do this first job beautifully.
Of course, before starting work, Ruoyun also warned, "Several, this drawing is our unique secret book, this must not be passed on, if you can remember it a few times, burn the drawings, there are some more difficult drawings, if you can't burn them, lock them in the room next to them, except for a few of you, no one else can go in, you understand." In fact, Ruoyun also explained that those more difficult drawings Ruoyun was drawn by modern methods, and the numbers and symbols on it were also made of modern symbols, without her explanation, the ancients could not understand it, she just didn't want others to see her drawings.
"The minions get it." Several people hurriedly replied, in their hearts, this is what it should be, in ancient times, the emphasis was on inheritance, each family had its own unique kung fu, except for their own people and their own apprentices, it was absolutely impossible to pass it on, Ruoyun's request they felt was very reasonable.
The twenty-seventh day of the lunar month is the last day of the countdown to Li's wedding, as the saying goes, the twenty-seventh day of the preserved fish, slaughtering chickens to catch the big set. Fuyuan did not raise chickens, ducks and other birds, so he ordered some in the village, and went to the town to buy some if it was not enough, all of which were to be killed, because the kitchen was too busy to kill so many chickens and ducks.
I don't have to rush to the big set, I went to Suzhou City a few days ago to buy things, firecrackers, incense candles and the like. The Spring Festival couplets everywhere in the house were also written by Yin Zhen himself, and the rest of the time was busy with Li Da's marriage tomorrow.
The stove has been set up in the courtyard of Li Daxin's house, and the tables, chairs and benches for the banquet guests have also been borrowed, neatly stacked aside, just waiting for the guests to come tomorrow and put them out.
Tableware, pots and bowls have also sent a lot of people over to help wash up, and Li Da's second aunt Tian and third aunt Hu have also often been there to help these days.
Only the Lin family passed every day, but after going every day, he seemed to have to sit with a lady and began to command this, command that, of course, Tian and Hu she didn't dare to command, but the subordinates who commanded Fuyuan were not polite at all, as if she was the master.
Fuyuan's subordinates have not been here for a long time, and they don't know that the Lin family is not Li Da's biological mother, so although she is too much, everyone can endure it for Li Da's face.
And Li Da has been busy recently and didn't pay attention to this situation, until Qiu Feng went to find out about this situation, he was clear about the situation of the Li family, and he didn't like this Lin family in his heart, but at this time, after all, the Li family did a happy event, and he couldn't do anything to the Lin family at that time, thinking about it, many eyes in the village looked at this side at this time.
But Qiu Feng is also a smart man, he turned his head and went home, and as soon as he flickered, he brought Ye Li over. Lin, who was originally addicted to being a lady in Li Daxin's house, was about to ask someone to make her a cup of tea, when she turned her head and saw Yeli coming over with a cold face, and she was so frightened that she immediately swallowed her words.
Ever since she threw He Cong on the roof at night, she has always had an inexplicable fear of Yeli.
And after the night came, he didn't do anything, Qiu Feng found a chair for him to sit next to him, and Lin suddenly felt that there were bursts of cold wind from the direction where he sat at night, and she was uncomfortable with the cold. He didn't stay long, so he excused himself and ran away.
When Qiu Feng saw that the Lin family was gone, he raised his voice and said as if talking to Yeli again, "Uncle Li, this stepmother, I heard that she fled and only married into the Li family not long ago, so she doesn't understand many things." ”
As soon as he said it so loudly, everyone present heard it, and the people of Fuyuan glanced at each other, and their faces were full of understanding.
From then on, when the Lin family came back again, she felt that she couldn't command these subordinates. No matter what she says, what people should do, they don't pay attention to her at all. She threatened to sue the housekeeper, and everyone looked at her with a smile, which made her embarrassed.
Of course, she didn't dare to complain to Li Da at all, even if she said something, it would be good if Li Da didn't scold her, let alone stand up for her. Since she didn't dare to sue, people knew better what kind of status and role she was, and no one would pay attention to her from now on. RS
