"It's called stew." Li Qingyou pointed to the dishes in the bowl, showing off a little proudly, this was also a very famous dish in her hometown in her previous life.

There are eggplants, beans, tomatoes, potatoes, and peppers in it, none of which are important, the important thing is that there is the leftover braised pork from last night, and she put the rest of the seasoning in it, so I don't believe it is not delicious this time.

Ah Di looked at Li Qingyou with a strange expression, then at the dishes in front of him, and took a pair of chopsticks under her expectant eyes, and then ...... The look is hard to discern.

"Doesn't it taste good?" Li Qingyou frowned slightly, it shouldn't be, even if the others don't work, there are braised pork and seasonings at the bottom, why won't it taste too bad, right?

"Hmm...... It's delicious. Ah Di didn't even dare to chew, stretched his neck and swallowed the half-cooked, sweet or salty vegetable raw, holding the multigrain cake and nibbling it violently, like a little squirrel.

If this pot of vegetables is brought to the City God Temple, those hungry beggars may swarm to snatch it up.

Li Qingyou tasted it suspiciously, spit it out the next moment, took a sip of herbal tea and raised his hand to fan it to his mouth, "What kind of weird smell is this?" ”

Ah Di glanced at the seasoning, which was almost more than the dish, and silently swallowed back all the words he wanted to say.

"Forget it, don't eat it, in case you spoil your stomach if you eat it again." Li Qingyou was very frustrated, but in the end he was not too reluctant, picked out all the braised pork, and poured out all the rest.

Fortunately, in addition to the messy stew, they also made a mixed cucumber, and the sister and brother had a meal with a few pieces of braised pork and cold vegetables.

As soon as I put down the chopsticks here, I heard someone shouting outside the gate, "Is there anyone in Lao Li's family?" ”

Li Qingyou looked out on the windowsill and recognized it as Lizheng.

Li Zheng is not an official, but only an official, not appointed by the imperial court, but a person with more prestige and ability elected by the local government to assist the county commander in managing the entire county.

Li Zheng and the local security are both locals, don't look at the position is not big, the power is not small, the so-called flowing water of the county order is iron-beaten Lizheng, many times the newcomer to the county order still depends on them.

In this era, not only in the countryside, but also in the county, the village was in charge of three or five to seven or eight villages, and the county was in charge of several streets, which was similar to the director of the neighborhood committee.

"Uncle Lizheng, why are you here?" Li Qing greeted him and went out, "Come into the house and drink some water." ”

Li Zheng waved his hand, "I have something to tell you, the task is down, and each family will send a strong man to dig the embankment, look at your family?" ”

This is a task given by the government, and every family must abide by and carry it out, but there is no man in their family.

"Uncle Zheng there, you know the situation in our family, why don't you help me think of a way?" Li Qingyou said that this kind of thing was done by Li Laohan before, and she hadn't experienced it yet.

Li Zheng naturally knew the situation of the Li family, and had already arranged it for her before she came, so she would tell her the truth, "You can spend money to hire people." ”

Some people don't have men at home, and some people have more boys and a lot of labor, and there is a surplus to remove one, and those with difficult family conditions are very willing to earn this money.

If money can solve it, it won't be a problem, Li Qingyou agreed.

After sending Li Zheng away, Li Qingyou returned to Dongli to continue her "painting career", since he warned Ah Di that day, he was very obedient and did not carry out a surprise attack, every time before entering the house, he would knock on the door first, and only get permission to enter.

And Li Qingyou also went from not being at ease at the beginning to gradually reassuring later, devoting himself to drawing lines with all his body and mind, in addition to making tofu, eating, sleeping and tidying up the house every day, the rest of the time was bored in the east and concentrated on practicing.

After a few days of hard work, she finally achieved initial results, after all, she is not a beginner, she can be regarded as a halfway monk, and her problem is only how to use the brush skillfully.

Looking at the even lines on the paper, Li Qing let out a long breath, and finally he could officially start painting.

She had carefully watched the "Records of Action" before, and found that the reason why the content was dull and boring was that only one shape was drawn, and the characters did not have any expressions or expressions, and some of them even had no faces, and she did not know whether the author ignored them or was impatient to draw them at all.

But two faceless men and women are entangled in all sorts of ways, why do they look so weird?

Li Qingyou decided that her characters should not only have faces, but also all kinds of subtle demeanors and expressions, after all...... It should be a pleasure...... Right?

Especially in this era, most of them are blind marriages and dumb marriages, that is, girls are pregnant with spring, but they are inevitably afraid, so that they know through her paintings that it is not a terrible thing, and it is also a merit.

Li Qingyou thought about it and suddenly laughed, and at this time he heard someone shouting at the gate of the courtyard, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Li Zheng coming, followed by a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old with broad shoulders and a thick back.

The young man's name is Liu Xiaosan, and he was found by Li Zheng to take out the task of going out of the river embankment for Li Qingyou's family.

"A total of twenty days, ten days to start drying, when digging the embankment, the government is in charge of the food, ten days in between, and then ten days of work and it's over." Li Zheng explained one by one, "When you work, your family gives fifteen yuan a day, a total of three hundred yuan, you have to feel that the line is so decided." ”

In fact, there is nothing that can't be done, the Li family has no man, and if it doesn't work, it has to work, otherwise Li Qingyou can only dig the river embankment. She is a little girl, even if she uses her strength to breastfeed, it is useless.

Besides, fifteen a day is not much.

Li Qingyou nodded and said no problem, "Then will we rent this money or give it a piece when we are done?" ”

When she said this, she looked at Liu Xiaosan, after all, he was the one who helped with the work, but Liu Xiaosan looked at Li Zheng.

"Give it now." Li Zheng made a decision and added, "Give a piece for twenty days, save trouble." ”

Fifteen dollars a day, and 300 yuan for twenty days, which is not much, but it is not a lot.

Li Qing happily agreed, went back to the house and took out three strings of money from the money box, one string of money was one hundred wen, and the strings were counted in advance.

turned around and wanted to hand it over to Liu Xiaosan, but found that he didn't follow up at all, just stood in the courtyard and watched this side, only Li Zheng was behind her, and Li Qingyou gave him the money.

"That's it, look for me if you have anything in the future." Li Zheng said and walked out of the hall and took Liu Xiaosan away.

Li Qingyou also deliberately went to the west room to look at his brother before he went back to the east room, since he asked him to embroider a purse that day, he has been detaining him to be a female celebrity at home these days, and he felt a little proud when he looked at the neat stitches.

Especially when I saw the little face he raised white, I felt even more gratified.

"That's right, that's how a little girl should be." Li Qingyou rubbed his brother's hairy head, white and tender, quiet, how good......
