Chapter 29: Mid-Autumn Festival
Seeing his indescribable look, a trace of doubt flashed in Qin Zhi's heart.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" She felt that everything that should have been written was written, Xue Shen was so smart, it shouldn't be difficult to understand.
……
Probably, Qin Zhi's gaze fell on the results of his hard work just now, and suddenly his eyes drooped in frustration.
"Zhizhi, what you wrote...... What is it? Xue Shen finally considered her words, taking into account Qin Zhi's self-esteem, but didn't directly ask if she could really write.
Qin Zhi twitched the corners of his mouth, grabbed the paper in his hand and took a closer look, it seemed to be a little ugly.
It's no wonder that she, Qin Zhi thought with some indignation, as a dead college student who only likes to play games, where is the spare time to learn calligraphy? She thinks that her calligraphy with a hard pen is quite good.
But here it is... It's a bit unsightly.
Xue Shen asked her what she had written, and she carefully distinguished it, and only then did she barely recognize her ghost drawing.
Turning her head, Xue Shen was still looking at herself with an inquisitive look, and there was some inexplicable comfort in her eyes, as if I knew such a look, she was so angry that she wanted to drop her pen.
She just doesn't know how to use a brush, as for looking at herself with the eyes that look like a fool?
Qin Zhi was angry, and he raised his hand and tore apart the paper that he had worked hard to write for a long time, and before Xue Shen could stop it, it had already scattered in all directions.
"......" Xue Shen was alarmed in his heart, and he intuitively felt that Qin Zhi was angry, and his desire to win made him hurry up and speak. Zhizhi is not angry, don't you just can't write, let's just learn. ”
He thought that what he said was very tactful, but when he heard this, it was not the case in Qin Zhi's ears, and he immediately felt that what he said was ambiguous.
"You can't read, your whole family can't read." She snorted coldly, a little frustrated in her heart.
"By the way, doesn't Zhizhi want to grow vegetables, you can tell me what you want to plant." Seeing that she was still angry, Xue Shen panicked, and hurried to her and said with a blank eye.
"You ......" Qin Zhi felt that he needed to explain that it was not that he didn't know how to read, but that this was not useful, and he could see Xue Shen's little white rabbit-like eyes, and he couldn't say a word for a while.
Even if you're handsome, you always love to sell cute, this ...... Isn't that a foul?
Qin Zhi's anger also disappeared, and his attitude suddenly softened, and somehow, the ghost sent the gods to touch the top of his hair, and touched his well-tied hair in a mess.
"Brother Shen, let's go to the town tomorrow to buy."
Qin Zhi used to be barely a scholar, although he didn't know much about agriculture, but he was almost the same, he was busy working intermittently for several days, and finally got everything right, and he looked decent.
Although Xue Shen was puzzled by what she was doing, he didn't ask much, he just obediently went to work what Qin Zhi asked him to do, and he was very obedient.
Cabbage, celery, tomatoes...... Qin Zhi bought some of all kinds of vegetables, and the two of them wasted a few more days before they could do all the work well and plant the vegetables.
It's really hard to explain the matter of the water ability, if it is known in this era, I am afraid that I will not drag Qin Zhi to say that she is a monster or something, in order to avoid trouble, Qin Zhi has always kept this secret, and even Xue Shen has not told it.
Naturally, he would not have known that there was a special feature of the water that he carried to water the vegetables every day.
After working for a while, it gradually came to fruition, and the vegetable seedlings came out to point to the sprouts, and the rise was gratifying, and Qin Zhi's heart was full of joy when he saw it.
"It's fifteen in a while, right?" Qin Zhi sat at the table and dialed the abacus to settle the accounts, while looking up at the full moon outside the window, he asked Xue Shen.
"yes, the days go by so fast." Xue Shen replied with a smile, and his tone couldn't help but bring some tenderness.
The days of living with Qin Zhi's child were the happiest period of his Xue Shen's life.
A wife and children, a new house, meat to eat, money to earn and something to do, these months are like a sweet dream.
It was a life he had never thought of, Xue Shen's eyes fell on Qin Zhi, watching the woman skillfully dial the abacus to keep accounts, and he didn't know what he thought of, and a little smile hung on the corner of his lips.
The candle flame on the table flickered slightly, and the warm yellow light shone on her body, which gilded her with a soft golden light, and she looked very beautiful.
Xue Shen couldn't help but be stunned.
"During this period of time, the business is good, we have removed the expenses before and after, and made a net profit of more than 40 taels of silver, and the weather will be cold soon, so we will buy a few sets of clothes for Xiaobao, and make two sets of quilts at home, otherwise it will be cold at night, and there will be a charcoal fire to burn, and we must prepare in advance, it is best to buy some smokeless, and save ...... of choking."
While calculating, Qin Zhi was babbling about his next plans, regardless of whether Xue Shen listened or not.
The ledger in front of him suddenly dimmed, as if the light source was blocked by something, Qin Zhi's thoughts were interrupted, and he subconsciously raised his eyes and crashed into those deep eyes.
Xue Shen looked at Qin Zhi who suddenly raised her head, with a surprised Qin Zhi on her little face, and before she could react, a gentle kiss fell on her forehead, and she left as soon as she touched it, fluttering like a feather.
"Thank you."
Qin Zhi's eyes widened a little, and when he reacted, his ears were already burning.
I vaguely heard Xue Shen say something.
But his voice was so soft, so light that it seemed to be talking to himself, Qin Zhi's thoughts all fell on that kiss, and he didn't hear it clearly.
"What did you say?" She asked, a little confused.
"Nothing." Xue Shen had already turned around and sat on the chair, and said lightly, changing the topic by the way, in order to cover up his beating heart, "There should be a lantern festival in the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”
Lantern festival?
Qin Zhi really didn't think much about it, and his mind was led by the Lantern Festival.
She hadn't been to this thing before, so it sounded pretty funny.
"Let's go and see it when the time comes." Xue Shen saw the interest flashing in her eyes and spoke.
"Okay." Qin Zhi replied quickly.
It was said that there was still some time, but it was only a matter of ten days.
I also eat moon cakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival here, Qin Zhi inquired, the filling is the common five-kernel filling, the things are not so complete, the taste is the same, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but find new business opportunities.
She hadn't made moon cakes before, she used to buy ready-made, but she had been interested in food since she was a child, and nothing could make it difficult for her.
After all, all the cuisines in the world have something in common, and there is no special way to study them carefully.
Qin Zhi studied it for two days and found that it was not very difficult, seeing that the fifteenth day was approaching, he planned to do something strange.
Let Xue Shen buy some duck eggs, fruits, sesame seeds and other things, first mix the noodles and put them aside, ready to mix the filling.
"What are you going to do?" Xue Shen was a little puzzled.
"Mooncakes." Qin Zhi skillfully divided the fillings, all of which were common flavors, egg yolks, lotus paste, and a little good special fruit filling, with some sesame peanuts added to it.
Xue Shen was silent, he grew so big, it was the first time he had heard that moon cakes were made of egg yolks.
But Qin Zhi wanted to do it, but he didn't stop it, and after watching it for a long time, he didn't know what she was doing, so he had to silently fight on the side.
The two tossed for a day before she made a special cage of mooncakes.
"Taste?" Qin Zhi seemed to be in a good mood, she didn't expect the first experiment to be successful, and she looked quite good, not insulting her Qin Zhi's craftsmanship at all.
I'm a genius.
Qin Zhimei thought about it, picked out a piece of each flavor and put it on the plate, waiting for Xue Shen to choose.
He looked at the mooncakes that made people appetizing for their appearance, and although he thought her materials were a little strange, he still chose to believe her.
I picked a piece and took a bite, and my eyes suddenly lit up.
"Delicious!" He praised it, took another bite, and tasted the filling inside, this is chestnut, there are not many chestnuts on the market at this time, and the taste is not too sweet, but Qin Zhi steamed it and mashed it, mixed it with sugar, and the taste is also unique.
Even the crust is different from what other people make, and it has a different aroma.
"Zhizhi is really powerful." Xue Shensan ate the moon cake in two bites and felt that it was delicious.
"Of course." Qin Zhi is not a person who likes to be modest, and when he sees that he likes it, he can't help but smile.
"I've been working on it for the past two days, and when the day comes, I'll send some to Aunt Zhang, Dahu, the village chief and Uncle Li Zheng, and sell the rest."
"Okay, listen to you." Xue Shen pulled her to sit down, his eyes gentle.
The small shop of the two is somewhat well-known, and when they saw that his family also began to sell moon cakes, people came to eat and bought them directly at his house with the intention of saving trouble.
This came and went, and the response was naturally excellent, and many people who were originally going to Piaoxianglou changed their ways to come to her house to buy.
Looking at this booming business, Qin Zhi was in a very good mood.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the night breeze is breezy, not cold, but not hot, just right.
The young couple handed over the sleeping Xiaobao to Aunt Zhang to help watch it for a while, and went to the lantern festival in the county together.
There are a lot of lanterns on the street, and tonight's curfew has been postponed, and there are almost no people at this time of year, but today it is full of people, the whole street is bright, many vendors are shouting on the side of the street, and all kinds of lantern racks are emerging in endlessly.
The whole street is full of joy, many young people wander around the street, and children run around, so lively.
Qin Zhi is actually not a person who likes to join in the fun, before the end of the world came, when she was still in school, any party could be pushed as much as she could, it was better to stay at home and play games comfortably.
Xu hadn't seen such a scene for a long time, and her heart became lively with the scene of this person coming and going.
"What are you thinking?" Xue Shen saw that she suddenly stopped, and couldn't help but stop too, a little puzzled.
"It's fine." Qin Zhi came back to his senses and pulled out a smile at him.
"Let's go buy a lantern." Xue Shen didn't ask much, took the initiative to take her hand, the two of them interlocked their fingers, Qin Zhi didn't react, the whole person was gently dragged by him, and he couldn't help but walk forward, not far away was a vendor selling lanterns.
"Objective, buy a lantern, right?" The hawker looked shrewd, and his round eyes looked around the two of them, and he made a courteous recommendation.
