Chapter 201: Warmth

After the rewards and punishments were completed, the homeless people who helped Zhixing Qi You find out Li Dai Taozhuang's people on weekdays were called out again, and according to the shift guard system proposed by the previous spring return, Qi You also sent the list formulated to the overseer.

In the future, in addition to the overseers, the guards of the cave were supervised by the workers in turn, giving the workers such power, and all of them could not hide their excitement, which was the same errand that the officials who inspected the cave did, and made them feel a sense of pride in their hearts.

After seeing everyone's reactions, Qi You was somewhat relieved, so that the matter of this cave could be put to an end for the time being.

The twenty-fourth man was sent into the cave by the official and the overseer, and he used to be lazy and slippery, and he must never have it again.

Uncle Liu looked at his son's red-eyed and regretful appearance from a distance, looked at it for a while, approached and scolded: "Work hard inside, I have lived up to the expectations of adults in the past, and I will weigh it myself in the future!" After building the cave, I went to squat for three months, and when I came out again, I would find an errand for myself, and I would do it without fear of hardship or tiredness! Got it? ”

Liu Yi nodded again and shed tears: "Understood!" Dad, I see! ”

Liu Abel said earnestly: "It's good to really understand, it's not too late!" ”

In this way, he watched his son enter the cave.

The onlookers were also a little moved when they saw this situation.

"Although this Liu Yi is a confused seed, but Liu Abel is good, it's hard for him, he has worked all his life, and his son has given him a blow."

"I hope this Liu Yizhen has figured it out, and when he comes out, he will honor his father, if this is still the case, Liu Abel has no hope in this life."

Qi You glanced at the people at the entrance of the cave lightly, and finally turned around and left.

On the way back, he walked alone in front, followed silently by a small servant holding an empty plate behind him, and the rare emptiness on the street also allowed him to review it carefully. As soon as this morning passed, the outskirts of the town were finally settled.

And the follow-up is also a lot busy.

The remaining three caves were completed in these few days, and they had to be tried after completion, and the group of craftsmen in the private kiln were also reviewed, and the two brothers of the Chu family taught for several months, and listened to the meaning of Chungui and Guo Ruyi, which was slightly effective. He is a craftsman, and he will be able to do this kind of work that tests perseverance and fine craftsmanship for a long time.

Except for the suburbs of the town, the official kiln was carried out step by step in accordance with the previous regulations, but fortunately there were no major mistakes.

The registration for the county test of Xiaobao and Zhiyuan has been completed, and they are now preparing for the exam. The children's test is about to be conducted, and there will be an examiner who will deliver the test questions down, and there will be indispensable entertainment and the most important invigilation.

After the invigilation, Ying Cheng's private school in the countryside will also be prepared.

One after another, he was busy with both business and private affairs, Qi You never thought that he would be so busy now, and at this time, he would be able to arrange it naturally and in an orderly manner.

Back at home, Chun Guizheng was directing the two girls to carry the flower pots while copying something.

Qi You swept around, the house was quiet, there was no commotion, and a few people who wanted to come to Ah Rong Zhanpeng had already gone out.

"What is Sister Chun doing?"

Seeing him coming, Chun Gui also knew that he was done with work on the outskirts of the town, and immediately beckoned to him: "Come here, wait until I finish writing for you!" ”

She was so happy, Qi You naturally cheered, and after signaling the little girl who followed her to leave, he sat down in front of Chun Gui, and scooped up the strand of hair she had scattered so as not to stain the ink.

Then he asked softly, "What is this written?" ”

With his handy help, Chungui didn't care about anything, and said while painting: "I thought of a few new snacks." ”

"What are you going to do with dim sum at this time?"

"It's not Ah Rong's new shop." Chungui said with a smile, while writing down a few new dim sum recipes on paper: "You didn't see the new shop that Ah Rong originally said he would open on the outskirts of town!" ”

Qi You thought about it carefully and shook his head: "I really haven't seen it, Ah Rong hasn't started construction yet?" ”

Chungui lifted the densely written paper and blew: "You, naturally you can't see it!" She tilted her head and smiled: "This stupid boy and Ah Ren opened the shop in front of the cave in Xiaoliangshan without making a sound. ”

"Second Brother Li has been busy for a long time, and he didn't tell us about it."

"Ah Rong and Zhan Peng met, and the ghosts and goblins actually called the two brothers Chen Shi and Chen Qing to help."

Qi You raised his eyebrows: "Brother Chen, Second Brother Chen?" ”

These two haven't seen each other for a long time, and when he moved to the old house near Liu's house, these two brothers helped him move. Later, he followed Zhigao to send prey to the shop, but now there are few mountain goods in the mountains, and he won't accept those in the spring, Zhigao said by Qi Youyi, and followed Ah Rong to work on the new shop, but the two brothers didn't know about it.

"Yes! Said that Zhigao casually mentioned it, Brother Chen and Second Brother Chen happened to be empty, and now they don't often go up the mountain to hunt, Ah Rong heard Zhigao talk about the situation when the Chen brothers helped us move and take you hunting, so he patted the board to take these two people, saying that kindness and generosity are the most important, no, I just said that I have bought wood and bricks, and asked Steward Qiu to help pick a good day to prepare for construction. ”

Qi You couldn't help but chuckle: "These people have a good look. ”

Chungui said with a smile: "It's not just a good look, I'm afraid that the two hundred taels we give are not enough, Zhan Peng went back to his home the day before yesterday to find foreign aid, Uncle Guo and Aunt Guo heard that this was the reason, and they gave five hundred taels without saying a word, and they are now big households!" ”

This morning, I listened to the progress report of these children, and the proud appearance of the voice and color made me want to laugh.

No matter how she is, if she can finish this well and do it a little decently, she can let go.

"Alright, lo and behold! If it's okay today and you want to eat it, I'll make it for you to taste first! ”

Chun Gui put the dried recipe in front of him, Qi You glanced at her with a chuckle, held her hand that was a little sore from the words she had written for a long time, and pressed it slowly.

On the recipe is a snowy mooncake and fried sweet potato chips.

Moon cakes are common, that is, the word ice skin is called Qi You was a little surprised, and after taking a closer look at the above practice, there was an extra layer of pie crust made of glutinous rice flour, and looking at the name, he knew that the appearance must be crystal clear.

As for the fried sweet potato chips, Chun Gui explained on the side: "Firing porcelain is a manual work, whether it is a craftsman or a worker who has to help at that time, it is laborious, Ah Rong brought over to eat such appetizing food as skewers, moon cakes and cold skins, and fried sweet potato chips should be a small snack, there are many people in that place, there are inevitably many adults with children to visit, and children can also taste it." ”

Qi You turned his head and looked at her with a smile in his eyes, this Chun sister of his said that let them operate, but everyone who could help them think about it behind his back was still not at ease.

Seeing him smiling, Chun Gui was a little embarrassed, and stretched out his hand to pinch his head: "Why are you looking at me like this, asking you, or if you are free, I will make it for you to eat in a while." ”

How can you not be free, Qi You nodded and smiled: "Okay, Sister Chun will make it for me to eat." ”

Although I thought there were still many things to do when I came, but now it is rare.

Chun Gui immediately got up and pulled people to the kitchen: "That's right, you help me grind glutinous rice flour, Grandpa Li brought up a lot of glutinous rice by the way a few days ago, Ah Rong is not here, and the girl has to take care of the front and back, and it just so happens that no one will help me!" ”

Qi You was dragged away, and said with a smile: "Sister Chun, this is specially waiting for me to do this free coolie?" ”

Hearing him say this, Chungui turned around and said angrily: "What's the matter, I can't call you anymore." ”

Qi You let him be dragged away, and said softly: "I can make it called, only Sister Chun can make it!" ”

Chungui turned his head and ignored him with a smile.

In the kitchen, Aunt Wang was stewing a cup of tonic soup for Cai's family, and when she saw the couple coming in together, she sighed in her heart.

It is said that the gentleman is far away from cooking, but everyone in this family pities his wife, Cai's father-in-law warms the soup for his daughter-in-law many nights, and Qi You, a busy county adult, is also willing to stay in front of the spring return when he is free, whether it is watching or doing it like today. Even if Zhixing lives next door now, looking at her pity for his wife, he will not be a person who is restrained.

Knowing that the two of them were going to use the kitchen, Aunt Wang took the soup and left, not to bother.

Qi You familiarly took out the small stone mill, put a small bag of glutinous rice aside, and then started.

The filling of the snowy skin moon cake is also ready-made, piles of sweet potatoes are placed in the corner of the wall, take some of them, half of them are steamed and kneezed into a puree, and the sugar is put to make the filling, and half of them are sliced and fried for a while, and they are fried directly into sweet potato chips.

The steps are simple, just grinding a little more laborious. Chungui sat on the side, watching Qi You slowly turn the small stone mill. The person in front of him is straight, and in several townships and counties, there are many people who are pressed by the drought and poverty and can't straighten their waists, and there are few people like him who are full of breath and warm spirit.

At first, Mingzhi talked in a small kitchen in Xiaoliangshan, but now it has only been two years since the kitchen in this town has been in love.

Chungui smiled at the corner of his mouth, and quietly watched him help him do his work.

"Sister Chun, how much is this going to do, and it also tells me to have a bottom." Qi You raised his eyebrows and asked, after grinding for a long time, there are only a few handfuls, and it will not take a few hours to grind this whole bag into powder.

Chungui had the intention to tease him, and pretended to laugh and said: "I can't finish grinding in the afternoon, I have tomorrow, but I can save me money for a donkey." ”

Qi You couldn't help but chuckle lightly, and continued to put a handful of glutinous rice in resignation.

Chungui also got up and burned the oil pot, put the thinly sliced sweet potatoes in the pot and fried them slowly, almost fried, and scooped up a slice for Qi You to try the taste.

One to make a taste, occasionally a few jokes or private words. A few words of laughter came from time to time in the kitchen, Guo Ruyi came to listen to the movement, and couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth, and specially instructed a few subordinates, and avoided disturbing them when he heard it from afar.

In these busy months, it is difficult for them to have such a warm time.

A long afternoon, leisurely and full, the atmosphere of fireworks and the strong affection that accompanied each other melted Qi You's fatigue for several days and the tiredness of punishing everyone in the morning.

In the evening, I suddenly realized that a long time had passed since the morning was disposed of. After the two dim sum dishes were divided among the children, a few more were set aside, and they were placed in the small kitchen together with the dim sum making recipe, waiting for Ah Rong to return late.
