Section 14: Recruit "hedgehogs" to attract butterflies
When Mei Yuexue was stewing soup, Lu Qiu came in from outside with a long body of wine, Mei Yuexue frowned when she saw him, stood up and said, "Why did you drink so much wine and sleep so late before getting up, didn't I tell you that it hurt your body like this?"
Lu Qiu rolled his eyes in a hoarse voice and said: "I said, in the future, I will kill whoever you ask me to kill, and whoever wants to kill you I will die for you, but you don't care if I drink, I am not your slave."
Mei Yuexue said with a grim expression: "You don't cherish your body so much, one day I want to use you, you don't know if you can stand up."
Lu Qiu looked in a very bad mood, stretched out his hand and brushed Mei Yuexue and said: "You don't care about my affairs, don't think that if you bring me back, you can point fingers at me, you are the one who brought me here, but I don't have to pester you." I'm here to ask who is chopping things, so noisy, noisy Lao Tzu can't sleep? ”
His last sentence was said by looking at Xiao Wei behind Mei Yuexue. Xiao Wei saw that his face was not good, and he heard that this person had a life in his hands, and sure enough, as soon as he started a fire at this moment, the anger on his body surged out, which was very terrifying, and there was a dead silence in the originally lively grass hut in an instant.
Xiao Wei didn't dare to talk rashly, because she didn't know the situation, but Mei Yuexue thought she was scared, and immediately moved her steps to block Lu Qiu's sight from looking at her, stared at Lu Qiu and said, "You calm down, go back and rest first, I'll cook you a sobering soup, you sober up and have a clear mind before you come to talk to us." The back of his hand was desperately gesturing at everyone behind him, and after the monkey saw it, he hurriedly whispered to Xiao Wei: "Miss Xiao, the master of the village told you to avoid it first, let's go."
"What, he's gesturing with me and telling me to stay out of the way?" Xiao Wei's heart fluttered, the monkey pulled her sleeve, her brain twitched, she waved her big hand, smiled and said loudly: "No, one person does things and one person is responsible, I was chopping meat just now, why are you coming at me!"
Everyone was shocked, Mei Yuexue looked back at her and frowned, "It's none of your business here, you shut up." He turned his head and said to Lu Qiu: "Don't be too strong and domineering, I did this today." Lin Yi couldn't hold back and rushed up to pull out his waist knife, and said angrily: "Lu Qiu, don't go too far!" Mei Yuexue grabbed him and shouted in a deep voice: "You also retreat!"
Lu Qiu looked at Xiao Wei and then at Mei Yuexue, and suddenly sneered: "You protect her? Oh! So that's the case, no wonder this woman is so presumptuous. ”
"I ...... I'm not protecting ......" Mei Yuexue suddenly felt that Lu Qiu's words seemed to have some other meaning, and somehow he thought of something that made him blush, and before he finished speaking, Lu Qiu showed a meaningful smile again, as if the elders had seen through the junior's careful thoughts, he whispered to Mei Yuexue: "For your sake, I don't care about her, let's forget about today's matter!" Before leaving, he glanced at Xiao Wei again, and the expression on his face was all saying: You don't need to say it, I know everything.
"You ......" Mei Yuexue saw that he looked weird, ashamed and angry, and when she wanted to ask but didn't know how to ask, Xiao Wei behind her smiled and said: "Brother Lu, you have a lot, thank you!" I'll make amends to you, and I'll definitely chop the meat lightly later, so I won't make you sleep! ”
Lu Qiu didn't speak, only waved his hand with his back to her, he didn't care about the rain, and walked back to his house in the rain.
Mei Yuexue turned her head and glared at her fiercely, Xiao Wei immediately turned her head away, humming a little song as if nothing happened, and chopping the meat lightly.
"One doesn't make you worried, and the other doesn't make you sad,
Three, don't you wear the wrong little sister's flower pocket,
The little sister's pocket embroidery is originally a gold chain,
Brother Lover's Circle is full of treasures, and the gilded hook is ......"
Xiaoxiao originally had a tactful voice, and this group of reckless men suddenly heard the lingering and tactful folk tune "Sending Lovers" and looked sideways, and immediately someone looked at her and coaxed.
Mei Yuexue looked at Xiao Wei and said angrily: "What kind of obscene song are you singing!"
Xiao Wei looked at him with a smile and said, "What kind of tune can Aunt Xi's aunt teach me in the Qinglou?" The owner of the village, you are erudite and talented, why don't you personally teach me a few more good lyrics and songs, teach me to read, then I will never sing such a song from now on! ”
The monkey laughed "sneering" on the side, and with great effort it took a great deal of effort to hold back, and hurriedly turned his back on his face.
Mei Yuexue's face turned red, in front of so many people, seeing that Xiao Wei still had a flirtatious look, she didn't know what to say for a long time, she flicked her sleeves and said angrily: "You keep singing!" The tone was angry and helpless.
There was a quiet moment around, followed by a burst of laughter, Xiao Wei laughed so much that she covered her stomach and shed tears, Mei Yuexue was originally very angry, but for some reason, seeing everyone laughing so happily, he couldn't help laughing, he thought, he should be angry to laugh, or he would laugh with Xiao Wei when he was stupid!
This dead woman!
Mei Yuexue scolded in her heart, and at the same time couldn't stop laughing.
After everything is ready, a large village of people around the long table began to wrap, and some people prepared side dishes, cut autumn cucumbers and pig skin, fungus, lotus root, boiled soybeans and peanuts, mixed with the sauce of Lao Bai to divide the plate, there are also people boiling water, some people will wrap the dumplings well, by the way go back and forth to pass the dumpling skin, busy and lively, most of these reckless people are the first time to do the bag, Lao Bai taught them the easiest way: put the meat filling, close the dumpling skin, the dough can be pinched tightly, some people are honest and obedient, the package is neat and tidy, someone disobediently deliberately wraps the dumplings into a bun, or deliberately secretly kneades the rolled dumpling skin, and then wraps it in another dumpling skin to see which unlucky egg will eat the dumpling later, or secretly stuffs a few slices of ginger and adds a pinch of salt......
Lao Bai walked back and forth like a teacher, instructing everyone to wrap it, some of the stuffing was too much, some of the stuffing was too little, some were not pinched tightly, and some forgot to sprinkle dry flour, and the dough was sticky into a lump of ...... Lao Bai corrected them one by one, and when he encountered a good bag, he would also marvel and praise it. Xiao Wei is naturally indispensable for making dumplings, but she is clumsy, the filling is either more or less, and she barely wraps out a dozen of them, and the appearance is ugly.
Mei Yuexue was originally watching the excitement from the sidelines, he was the owner of the village, he didn't have to do this kind of thing himself, he was also happy to be idle, and he could watch them play as if he were playing.
In fact, he had already seen Xiao Wei also doing the bag, seeing that she was clumsy, adding more stuffing and not being able to wrap it, squeezing the soup oozing from the meat filling and vegetables all over the dumpling skin, rushing to save the scene, or adding less bag out of her stomach and becoming a dough sheet that couldn't stand, he looked at the people around him embarrassedly, and saw her stupid face, Mei Yuexue couldn't help but laugh "sneer".
He pretended to wander around a few times, and then walked to Xiao Wei's side, stared at the few dumplings wrapped in front of her and asked with a smile, "What is this?" Xiao Wei knew that he was mocking himself, Xiao Wei glanced at him and said: "No matter what, I also wrapped it myself, and the most despised things in my life are those who don't do it themselves and look down on others."
Mei Yuexue said: "It's my first time, and it's better than you, so I'll see it."
Xiao Wei handed the skin to him and said, "Then you wrap one and I'll take a look."
Mei Yuexue is not timid, she took the dumpling skin and started to put the filling, but his wrapping method is different from others, he first raised the left and right sides of the skin, pinched one end tightly, and then alternated left and right, squeezing and pinching, continuously, until the end, revealing a small tail, and then pinching it tightly. His hands are fast and sharp, and the finished product falls in the palm of his hand like a ripe and full ear of wheat.
"Wheat ear dumplings? Dazhai master, it turns out that you still have this craft! Lao Bai excitedly called out his voice, everyone had never seen it, this kind of dumpling has many pleats, just like a girl's braid on the mouth, it is very delicate and beautiful, and they all sighed.
Mei Yuexue proudly held the dumplings in front of Xiao Wei and asked, "How?"
Xiao Weicai was not in the mood to worry with him about who made the better of such a trivial matter, seeing that the wheat ear dumpling was in front of her, she suddenly smiled, stretched out her hand and grabbed the dumpling, and then said cheekily: "Thank you Dazhai for sending me dumplings, then I will accept it, wait a minute, this is just mine, no one is allowed to rob ......"
"Hey, who said they were going to send you, why should they send you!" Mei Yuexue was afraid that others would misunderstand, so she hurriedly refuted it to confirm that she did not intend to give it to Xiao Wei, and that Xiao Wei snatched it herself.
"If you don't send it to me, it's okay, then you teach us how to wrap it, and I don't want you when I learn it." Xiao Wei grinned, sticking to him like maltose, and thought to himself: Do you want to stay away from me? No way, you crashed into it yourself!
Mei Yuexue regrets this!
This woman, why does she always have a reason to haunt herself, the ghost does not go away, what does she want to do? When the owner of the village? What does pestering him have to do with being the owner of the village?
Yes! Could it be ...... She wants ...... Be the lady of the village!
In Mei Yuexue's opinion, knowing this was even more shocking than knowing that she was going to be the owner of the village! This woman has been seducing me!
He quickly thought about it and thought it really was!
At this time, he looked at Xiao Wei again, waiting for him expectantly, like waiting for a prey that was about to enter a trap, his scalp tightened, he had been deceived by her for so long, and he actually realized now that this woman's means are really high!
No, no, no, no......! I'm a man, and there are women who seduce me and are attracted to my charms...... Shouldn't I be happy? Shouldn't you be complacent? Shouldn't you be proud? Why do you want to retreat, it's too shameless, but it always makes that woman proud.
No, you can't be cowardly!
"Okay, I'll teach you myself!" Mei Yuexue gritted her teeth and said with a smile.
"Yes, yes!" Xiao Wei was really happy, although she knew that Mei Yuexue didn't understand her mind at this time, she just felt that she was teasing him, and he only agreed for the sake of his own face, so she was also very happy.
Mei Yuexue deliberately got very close to her and taught her to learn to pack, Xiao Wei learned very seriously, looking at him with admiration, the wheat ears seemed to be easier to wrap than ordinary dumplings for Xiao Wei, Xiao Wei tried the first one to wrap into a shape, she happily lifted it up for everyone to see, everyone praised Xiao Wei Congyin, only the monkey said interestingly: "Miss Xiao has to be attentive, and it also depends on who taught it!"
After saying that, she glanced at Mei Yuexue with a pair of thief eyes, and Mei Yuexue smiled hard.
When eating, Mei Yuexue couldn't taste the taste of food at all, Xiao Wei didn't sit next to him, but his eyes were full of Xiao Wei, as if he lived on the tip of his heart, he hated her, and was afraid of her, he kept reminding himself to beware of her, but he always came over after falling into this woman's trap, it really gave him a headache, very annoying, he grew so big, he had never been so annoyed with a person, and there was never a person who could make him remember it all the time.
After eating at noon, the rain became heavier and heavier, and everyone had nowhere to go but to rest in the house.
Mei Yuexue sat at the table and drank tea after waking up from a nap, Lin Yi stood aside, Mei Yuexue looked at the rain outside the window, and suddenly asked: "Lin Yi, I found a secret of Xiao Wei!"
Lin Yi said suspiciously: "What a secret!"
Mei Yuexue turned her face, looked at Lin Yi with a solemn expression and said, "I feel that she wants to be the lady of the village!"
"Poof!" Lin Yi squirted out a mouthful of tea, and asked tentatively, "Do people want to, or do you want to be a child?"
"Nonsense!" Mei Yuexue slapped the table: "Lin Yi, you are crazy, how could I fall in love with that kind of woman!"
Lin Yi pouted and said, "I don't want to think like this, but if you look at yourself, your mind is full of Xiao Wei, and you can't even read books." Since that Xiao Wei came, you are like a different person, when she is there, you either look at her in a daze, or look at her and smirk, or frown, strange, when people are not there, you always mention her, are you in her evil? ”
"What, what! I...... Look at her because I hate her, I'm trying to find a way to deal with her! ”
Lin Yi pouted and said, "Come on!" Aren't you very happy to teach others to make dumplings today! ”
"Lin Yi, you kid is getting more and more presumptuous! You dare to talk about my affairs? Monkeys, they don't understand me, don't you know me yet? Mei Yuexue lowered her voice, and then couldn't help but ask weakly: "I...... Is it true that as you say, often...... Mention that woman? ”
Lin Yi only replied vaguely: "Anyway, I think so."
Mei Yuexue sighed and whispered: "Actually, I won't tell you, I always feel that Xiao Wei is not a simple woman, she is doing it step by step, just to be the wife of the village and marry me!" But I actually left her in the village, as if she had fallen into an evil spirit, why do you say that I am always so easy to attract bees and butterflies? Is that all I have to offer? ”
Seeing him admit it, Lin Yi said sarcastically: "You are not a butterfly this time, the county lord of Zhaohua is a butterfly, she is a bee, or a poisonous bee!"
Mei Yuexue shook her head and said earnestly: "She is not a poisonous bee, a poisonous bee only has one sting, she is a hedgehog, and she is covered with thorns!"
