The last two episodes of the New Year are the most lively.

Chi Yue and the others sold all the melons and fruits they brought, and then happily went around to play.

She bought two rock sugar gourds for Chi Haochi Xiaoxue, and bought a lot of candied fruits, peach crisps, almonds and melon seeds, and naturally candy that children like to eat, and filled a full package.

Chi Yue cut ten catties of lean meat, if it weren't for the fact that there was no refrigerator now, she would even have to cut thirty or forty catties so that she could take it back for the year.

"It's been a good year." Chi Xin looked at the full load of food, and sighed sincerely, "I remember that in the past, during the Chinese New Year, it was also the most sorrowful time for my mother, there was almost no special food, only stewed cabbage in clear water, dumplings filled with radish, pickled wild vegetable roots and steamed buns, and the best thing was a few eggs laid by the chickens at home......"

"Now that you have money, we can buy whatever you want to eat." Chi Yue smiled, "Sister, it's the New Year, how many more clothes can you buy to wear?" ”

Chi Xin was dragged into the ready-to-wear store by Chi Yue, and the two of them picked out a few fresh clothes, but they were also cloth floral clothes. Although silk can be afforded, it can be worn in the village, and it always feels awkward, because Chi Yue is not so extravagant and wasteful.

Chi Hao Chi Xiaoxue naturally also had new clothes to wear, and they chose an older one for the Zhou family, and Chi Yue Chi Xin bought some flower bracelets before returning with a full load.

On the way back, the family bathed in the sunset, talking and laughing with the cart, and the snow under their feet was almost melting, making a "crunch" sound, as if to accompany their joy.

"Chi Yue?"

A hurried summon pulled Chi Yue out of her cheerfulness, and when she saw Xiao Cui, who was full of panic, she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, Xiao Cui, why are you so flustered?" ”

With tears in the corners of her eyes, Xiaocui ran forward, pulled Chi Yue's arm, and cried: "Chi Yue, please save my father, I can't find anyone else to help anymore, you are so capable, maybe you can help us, I will come to look for you!" ”

"You speak slowly." Chi Yue soothed her.

It was easy for Xiaocui to calm down her emotions, and then she told the story.

But it turned out that it was Xiaocui's father who went to the county seat to have a drink with friends, and on the way back from not wanting to eat drunk, he collided with the carriage of the young grandmother of the Liu family. Mrs. Liu is the sister of Liu Guifei, the emperor's favorite of the emperor, and she is a person who is polite to the local county princess, and she can pay back the collision with this family?

Now, Xiaocui's father is imprisoned, and after Xiaocui learned about it, she looked for help everywhere, and everyone heard that it was the Liu family who offended, and they shook their heads and said that they couldn't help.

In desperation, Xiaocui thought that Chi Yue seemed to know the county magistrate, and she also knew many characters with heads and faces, so she couldn't wait to find her.

After Chi Yue heard this, Liu frowned and patted the excited Xiaocui, "Xiaocui, don't panic, now I will go to the county seat with you to inquire about the situation, and then it's not too late to think of countermeasures." ”

Seeing that Chi Yue not only did not refuse herself, but also accompanied her to the county seat, Xiao Cui was grateful, knelt down and said: "Chi Yue, thank you for saving my father, whether you can save it or not, I have written down your kindness, and I am willing to be a cow and a horse for you in the future!" ”

Chi Yue gave the cart to Chi Xin and asked her to take her younger siblings back first, and then went to the county seat with Xiaocui.

When I arrived at the county seat, the sun was already setting, and the night was about to fall.

When they came to the county office, the two inquired about Xiao Cui's father, but they heard the guards snorting and said disdainfully: "A little person dares to crash into Mrs. Liu's carriage, isn't he impatient?" It's also a bad fate, otherwise why didn't others collide, but he rushed and angered others? ”

Chi Yue didn't bother to listen to his nonsense, and asked straight to the point: "So, how to judge such a crime?" ”

"If this person is not to mention, he will have to be detained for half a year, or even exiled to the frontier, it depends on the meaning of the Liu family." The official said, "But judging from the Liu family's ruthless style in the past, in order to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, we must also teach this person a lesson, otherwise in the future, wouldn't everyone be able to offend their Liu family?" Yes, in my opinion, exile is more likely. ”

When Xiao Cui heard this, she almost fainted, grabbed Chi Yue and said sadly: "Chi Yue, you have to save my father!" My father is not in good health, and he has not yet been exiled to the frontier, and he will not be able to do it halfway through! Besides, the frontier is so difficult, my father is in his forties, how can he stand it! ”

Chi Yue gritted her teeth, patted her hand, and comforted: "There will always be a way, don't panic." ”

In the county seat, she only knew Gu Han, and she immediately decided to look for him.

When Gu Han heard that it was her, he immediately invited her into the mansion and gave her warm hospitality.

"At the end of the year, I want to go back to the capital, and I was about to say goodbye to you, but I didn't want you to come first." Gu Han said with a smile.

"You want to go back to the capital?" Chi Yue was a little stunned, "How long will it take to go, and when will you come back?" ”

Somehow, she was a little nostalgic.

Maybe it's a rare confidant, and the friendship has deepened after getting along for a long time, she thought to herself.

"Half a month to about a month." Gu Han said, "After all, my parents are over there, and if I don't go back for a whole year, I miss it." ”

Chi Yue nodded, "Go back and be filial to your parents, and you should be." ”

Xiao Cui tugged at her, and then she remembered what was going on, and told Gu Han about Xiao Cui's father.

When Gu Han heard this, he frowned slightly.

"I also know the Liu family, I know that they are relatives of Concubine Liu, they have always been arrogant and domineering, and they are ruthless, if anyone collides with them, they will be unlucky."

When Xiaocui heard this, she immediately knelt down and kept kowtowing, "Ask Gongzi to save me!"

Gu Han thought for a while, thought of something, and asked the silhouette behind him, "I remember that you gave me an invitation yesterday, it belongs to the Liu family?" ”

The silhouette responded: "Exactly, tomorrow is the seventieth birthday of the old lady of the Liu family, and many dignitaries have been invited, and Gongzi is also one of them." It's just that Childe didn't say he wouldn't go? I've lost the invitation. ”

Gu Han raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly, "I have never liked to be lively, and I disdain to participate in this kind of banquet for people with low eyes. ”

When Chi Yue heard this, she suddenly had an idea.

"Gu Han, can you do me a favor?" She snapped into her mouth.

Gu Han looked at her with a smile, "Although it is said, I will definitely live up to my expectations if I can do it." ”

"Help me participate in this birthday feast." Unexpectedly, Chi Yue made a request, "And let me and Xiaocui follow, we have to give Mrs. Liu a big gift." ”

Gu Han looked at her intently, as if he wanted to see through Chi Yue, but he couldn't think of what kind of gift Chi Yue would give?

Although he was full of doubts, he still nodded and replied, "Okay." ”

The silhouette was taken aback, and raised its eyes to look at its master in disbelief.

Gu Han didn't ask clearly, so he wanted to let this wild girl go to the Liujia birthday feast to "make trouble"? If they collided with the Liu family, they would also accept the disaster of the pond fish, which can be regarded as offending Liu Guifei.

If you offend Concubine Liu, you will offend the emperor, and the emperor will blame it, so how can you get it!

But Gu Han seems to have been given ecstasy by Chi Yue, it seems that no matter what she does, it is correct and reasonable!

Looking at Chi Yue, the silhouette seemed to be looking at a vixen who bewitched his master, and his teeth itched with hatred, but he was helpless.

On the way back, Xiao Cui kept asking what Chi Yue's gift was, but Chi Yue just smiled mysteriously, "You'll know when you go back." ”

When I returned, the night was already falling, and the stars were dry.

Chi Yue asked Xiaocui to go back to rest, and bring her some fresh milk or goat's milk tomorrow morning.

Xiaocui has a lot of sheep at home, and it is not a problem to get goat milk. She just wondered, what did Chi Yue want to do with these? Isn't it possible to give Mrs. Liu milk and goat's milk to drink?

But there is no shortage of these at all!

Although she was full of doubts, before dawn the next morning, Xiaocui brought two full barrels of goat milk to Chi Yue.

The workshop was closed, empty and idle, and Chi Yue was busy inside.

She boils the goat's milk in two large pots and distills it until she gets a thick layer of skin on top.

After the evaporated milk was extracted, she mixed it with eggs and sugar to make a viscous cream.

The first time everyone saw the cream, they were full of praise after tasting it.

"This thing looks delicious, but I didn't expect it to melt in my mouth, and it's sweeter than honey!"

Chi Hao Chi Xiaoxue couldn't help but go to get it again, but was slapped by Chi Yue and rushed back, "These are to be used to save people, you have to eat, and I will make them for you later." ”

Zhou hurriedly took the two little guys outside, for fear that they would make trouble again.

Iketsuki made white cream, mixed with bananas, strawberries, grapes, etc., to make yellow, red, purple and other colors of cream.

In the modern way of making cakes, she bakes a large round base of flour, eggs and sugar, which is ten inches in size, and spreads a thick layer of cream on it, and then carefully squeezes out the large and small flowers by opening a little in the bag.

Seeing the two red peonies leap up, Chi Xin and Xiaocui on the side covered their mouths one after another, unable to believe what was in front of them.

Can cream also make flowers? The blooming, dazzling flowers, and the green leaves that accompany it, seem to be the real thing!

In the middle, Chi Yue used red syrup to write a dignified word "longevity", which was crystal clear and dazzling like two peony flowers.

The small flowers dotted next to it, as well as neatly arranged grapes and cherry tomatoes, are like stars holding the moon, setting off the center.

The whole cake looks dignified and mouth-watering, and it is perfect for Liu Laoshi to be a birthday gift!

"Chi Yue, you're just amazing!" Xiao Cui admired the authenticity, "You can make such exquisite food, I'm afraid the imperial chef in the palace can't compare to you." ”

Chi Xin also sighed: "Yue'er, I didn't expect you to keep this hand, I think that if someone tastes it at the Liu family banquet, you will be busy in the future." ”

Chi Yue smiled slightly, and was inspired again.

In modern times, advertisements are overwhelming, so why not make the Liu family birthday feast her first advertising seat here?

And it's free, so it's a shame not to use it!

The next day, Chi Yue and Xiao Cui came to the county seat and met Gu Han.

Gu Han was puzzled when he saw that the gifts they brought were wrapped in a huge round cardboard box with a beautiful bow tied on the outside.

What's inside? As a normal person, you can't help but be curious.

Seeing Chi Yue's confident appearance, he suppressed his curiosity fiercely, and he wanted to show his absolute trust in front of her.
