Chapter 20: Dried lettuce

I suddenly remembered that in modern times, my neighbor's aunt had sent some sun-dried lettuce and fried it in oil, and it was crispy and delicious. Before, I only knew about dried radish, and then I learned that lettuce can also be dried.

"Mama, I came up with a good idea to dry the lettuce, like a dried radish. Lettuce is similar to radish, so it should be delicious when dried in the sun, right? ”

Mama Yang was a little hesitant, she had only heard of dried radish, never heard of dried lettuce, and it was not wrong to hear what my sister said, they were all the same vegetables, and it seemed that it was okay to dry them...

"Okay, just listen to my sister, and I'll pull out those lettuce shoots and dry them in the afternoon!"

That's it, it's just some lettuce, how about listening to my sister's experiment? It can be eaten about dry in the sun, and it will not waste food and suffer damage.

Li Yuqing solved the problem of lettuce, and was in a very happy mood, so she asked Bihe to add another bowl of rice, and put down the chopsticks after eating.

I took a nap and rested in the bamboo forest. The man moved the chaise longue, took a small silk quilt to cover it, closed his eyes, and fell asleep after a while.

After sleeping for more than half an hour, Lu Ju came to wake up Li Yuqing, she got up and cleaned her face, went out of Gong, and began to transcribe "Zhai History" again.

During this period, someone from the "Southeast, Northwest, and Middle" came to deliver the fruit, and she didn't tell who it was, but she knew that it was one of the five women who knew martial arts.

The women who know martial arts are more stout, which is easy to see. If you put the name on the Master, it will be quite difficult, she is a little blind, and it will take a few days to get acquainted.

Li Yuqing thought about it for a while, and called the four personal maids over: "There are so many newcomers who have come recently, and they don't recognize all of them for a while, and it's not good to call them wrong and admit them, so I thought of a way to ask you to help do it." Then he looked at the few maids in front of him.

The two exchanged glances, and then looked at Li Yuqing fixedly, looking at the young lady's orders.

Bihe's eyes narrowed as if she wanted to say something, but she lowered her eyebrows again, and only looked down at her toes.

Lu Ju glanced at Bi He beside him, a little helpless, told this girl to be more steady, not to hold back and not speak, opened her mouth and said to Li Yuqing:

"What does Miss want us to do? There are more of these people, it's really rare to remember the name, I saw it on the road, I opened my mouth, I didn't know how to say hello, what good way did the young lady think of? ”

"The method is very simple, make them a purse to wear on their bodies, and embroider a big character on the purse. The five women of Huiwu embroidered five directions in the southeast, northwest, and middle according to their names. ”

The eight men who knew how to martial arts embroidered the eight numbers from one to eight.

"The other seven people embroidered the seven colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple."

"As for the pink cherry blossoms and red roses, I know them, so I don't need to embroider them."

A few maids' eyes lit up, this is indeed a good idea, and when you see people, you can know who it is by looking at the words on the purse, and you will be able to recognize the whole person after a while.

"Go and get a needle and thread to make a purse, and Bihe will stay." Li Yuqing straightened out the pen and ink, and spread out the copied piece of paper to dry.

Bihe tugged at the corners of her clothes, not knowing what the young lady was doing when she left her alone.

Luju's heart was relieved, and the young lady should have seen it, so she deliberately left Bihe to come down to enlighten.

Li Yuqing looked at Bihe's wrinkled face, laughed in her heart, and was reprimanded by Luju, so she became like this. It's just a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, and her mental age is already twenty-one years old, and she treats Bihe like a little pepper-like sister.

Laughing: "What's wrong with Bihe today?" , On weekdays, it is a cheerful oriole, and the chirping all day and night is full of vitality, but today it is like a little quail that is not used to it! ”

Bihe was left alone by Li Yuqing to think about what Luju told her in the morning, afraid that Miss would really dislike her, the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, tears in her eyes could not fall, and the tip of her nose was also red.

This will listen to Li Yuqing's ridicule, he is a laughing and noisy character, and it is very uncomfortable to hold back the words for so long, and he couldn't help laughing out loud for a while, blowing out a snot bubble.

Li Yuqing also smiled, pinched her thighs hard, and said business: "Green orange should tell you to be more steady, right?" ”

Bihe was startled, he paused to wipe his hands with a handkerchief, and looked at Li Yuqing in surprise, "How does Miss know?" ”

Bihe was blushing and wiping her nose with a handkerchief just now, and she felt very ashamed to be seen by the young lady in such a humiliating thing.

Li Yuqing raised her eyebrows and looked at Bihe: "How do I know, of course I can see it, I am not an immortal, and I won't pinch my fingers." ”

Another straight face: "Bihe asked you to be more stable not to tell you not to speak, but to observe and think more, distinguish the situation clearly, and know when you can joke and when you can't." ”

"If you look at it, you will be able to anticipate part of the truth, find out what's wrong, and notice what's wrong. Think more so that you can calmly analyze what the situation is, how you should deal with it, and how to act. ”

Bihe lowered her head, thoughtfully, and listened carefully with a sincere face admitting her mistakes.

Li Yuqing continued: "It's like how I knew that you were disciplined today, and I found out about the eyebrow lawsuit between you and Hongmei from the beginning. Later, when you and Bihe came back late, your eyes were red and you looked like you had cried, and the green orange was sweaty on your forehead, and your neck was red, and you looked angry, which means that you knew that you had been trained. ”

"I see, miss." Bihe pounced coquettishly, and took Li Yuqing's hand lovingly: "Don't tell them about me crying out of snot bubbles, it's really embarrassing!" If it spreads, I won't have the face to see anyone, and I won't pay attention to Miss anymore! ”

Li Yuqing laughed a little, the first thing Bihe did after he got well was that he was worried that his image would be damaged, it seems that the road to training has not yet been successful, and comrades still need to work hard...

After Bihe was dismissed, she suddenly let go of herself, and went to get a notebook to read with Li Yuqing, giggling from time to time.

Li Yuqing began to think about the starting business, holding a brush and unconsciously scribbling on the white paper, the thoughts in his head scrolled over and over again...

What to do, I can write a book, and the four famous books will cause a craze when they are moved, but ,... The industry of printing books is too profitable, it has no foundation, it is difficult to occupy the roots, and it is very easy to be regarded as a gunman...

A line of clothing, I have a lot of novel ideas, but also... Not really... The clothing here is relatively novel, women can wear dresses in the summer, no matter how novel she can't design, and the cost of clothing is too high, it is too difficult to open up the market...

Diet, in this regard, I know a lot of Chinese food, improve it a little and use it...

Forget it, she pouted her head, got rid of her random thoughts, and discussed it with everyone in a few days.

This house has two entrances, an outer courtyard and an inner courtyard. In front of the outer courtyard are four main rooms, one is used for deliberations, one is used for cooking, and the other two are used for kitchens and firewood rooms, which is not very regular, but there is only one master of Li Yuqing here, and it doesn't hurt to be casual.

There is a well next to the main house, and the water is sweet, and the water is taken from here on weekdays.

There are a few inverted rooms in the back, which were originally lived by Zimo and Xing'er Xiaozao, thoughtful, and door-guarding mother-in-law.

However, these new people, and many adult men, although the young lady was small, she still had to avoid suspicion, so she vacated the house, and the men all moved in, and Zimo and they moved to the inner courtyard.

Entering from the gate, passing through the outer courtyard, passing through a hanging flower gate, there is a long alley, a small path in the middle, planted with various trees on both sides, and the bamboo forest is near the inner courtyard.

At the end of the alley, and then through the gate, you will arrive at the front yard of the inner courtyard, which is planted with many flowers, and it is very suitable to bask in the sun in the courtyard in spring.

After the front yard, there are three main rooms in the inner courtyard, which are Li Yuqing's boudoir, bathroom and study. Not far from here is a row of inverted houses, where the women now live.

There is also a garden behind this, which is the backyard of the inner courtyard, which has been cultivated by Mama Yang for several acres of vegetable land to grow seasonal vegetables, and there is no need to go out to buy vegetables on weekdays.

Mama Yang also told Li Yuqing this morning that she would open a few more acres of land, there were more people, and there was more food, and the original place could not provide so many people with food, and so many people had to do something.

There are also thirty or forty chickens and ducks raised in a surrounding area, most of the chickens are hens, and only a few roosters are raised for breeding.

These hens get more than a dozen eggs a day, and they don't have to go out to buy them. Chickens and ducks can be killed from time to time to add some meat to the dish.

Recently, Li Yuqing always feels hot and panicked, and the days when she is out of the air conditioner are very difficult.

So he tossed and asked Zhou Quan to buy some black plum hawthorn in the fruit shop, and then went to the pharmacy to grab some tangerine peel licorice, and prepared to boil some sour plum soup and chill it with well water, which was cool and greasy.

The drinks here are not developed, only boiled soup and tea, and all kinds of milk. Li Yuqing misses modern milk tea and all kinds of fat house happy water very much.

After Zhou Quan bought all the materials, when the sun went down and it was not so dry, Li Yuqing took the four maids to the kitchen.

Bihe was very excited, thinking that the young lady was going to get some new and delicious food again, and kept asking questions along the way, and the shadow of the lesson in the morning was not seen. Green Ju looked at someone who had no heart and lungs with a speechless face, and her brisk steps and slightly raised corners of her mouth showed that she was in a good mood. Red Rose Pink Sakura was a little puzzled, but didn't say anything, just followed.

Li Yuqing was proud in her heart, the Chinese delicacy was really irresistible, and a girl who was so serious as a green orange became a snack after tasting the food a few times with her. At this time, I heard that she was going to make sour plum soup, and her face was very serious, and her heart should be happy.

Sour plum soup also has a long history.

Sour plum soup is a great summer drink. In the Qing Dynasty, the imperial dining room was improved to become the royal drink of the court, and the so-called "Shigong plum fried" was the so-called "Shigong plum fried". Because of its effects of removing heat and sending cold, relieving pain, expelling phlegm and relieving cough, dispelling epidemics, and quenching thirst, it is known as "the imperial black plum soup of the Qing Palace".

Later, it was introduced to the people, so the streets and alleys, the door of the dried and fresh fruit shop, you can see the vendors selling sour plum soup everywhere, which can be said to be the earliest "soda" in China.
