Chapter 81: And Lu
On Qingwan's birthday, the three of them got up early in the morning and left the jade realm. Keke rushed into the kitchen and got busy, first mixing the noodles, and then putting them into the oven that had been specially made two days ago to bake. Then he kept stirring the egg liquid with only egg whites in the bowl, and Qian looked at Keke who kept stirring and said, "Keke, I'll come, you can rest or point me around!" ”
Keke looked at Qian and shook his head and said, "Sister-in-law, you are not as strong as me, and you are not as fast as me, so it's not okay to slow down." ”
Qian looked at Keke's faster and faster hands, and he was dizzy and finally afraid that he couldn't do it, so he went to do other things!
When Keke turned the egg whites into cream, the people in the kitchen couldn't figure out why the egg whites turned into white bubbles after a few stirrings, and it didn't seem to look like bubbles.
"Miss, how did the egg whites become like this?" Mrs. Yu asked curiously.
"It's called cream, and the egg whites change when they are stirred constantly." Keke said and thought to himself: If it is explained that the egg white has undergone a qualitative change due to the constant stirring, it is estimated that it is even more incomprehensible, but now it is also a loss of spiritual power, and there is an endless strength in the body, otherwise it would be impossible to make cream with the previous body.
"Give me two bowls." Keke said.
"Give." Mrs. Yu took a clean bowl and handed it over.
Keke took it and put some cream in a bowl, ready to add some carrot juice and vegetable juice to make the red and green cream for writing and flowers.
"Sister-in-law, is the carrot juice ready?" Keke shouted.
"Alright." Qian answered, and then brought a bowl over.
Add less than carrot juice and stir in the cream. I walked to the oven, calculated that the time was almost ready to take it out, opened the door of the stove, a stream of heat rushed out, looked at the golden cake in the stove, finally lived up to my hard work, put out the fire of the stove and waited for a while before holding the handkerchief mat and brought it out, corrected and cut off the outer layer and then divided into three layers, layer by layer with cream, but unfortunately could not take some grapes from the jade world to decorate it, and finally took the handkerchief and wrapped the bowl with carrot juice cream and vegetable juice cream respectively, After pinching the handkerchief and squeezing the cream together, I cut a small cut with scissors and started writing on the cake to make flowers! After everything is done, put it into the box that Liu Gang made and prepare to serve it after the main meal.
Qingwan's and the hosts of the ceremony were the little aunts Qing and Cui Tinglan, and the guests invited Grandma Wei. Youji invited the youngest daughter of the Governor family, Haruka, and the praiser was naturally Keke, who was a good sister, and there were many spectators.
When the auspicious time came, the Qing family and Cui Tinglan walked out, and the reason why the two served as the masters was because Qingwan was now fatherless and motherless, and the Cui family also agreed with her, so naturally she had to take the position of the master in her ceremony and arrange many matters for her.
"Everyone, thank you for coming to the little girl's ceremony, the following little girl Qingwan adult ceremony officially began, please Qingwan come out to meet your relatives and friends." Cui Tinglan said.
Then Keke came out first, washed his hands and stood in the west step, and then walked to the middle of the room to salute the guests, and then knelt west and sat on the seat, and after kneeling and sitting, the praiser combed his hair and other cumbersome etiquette, and then began the first addition, and the guest walked in front of the person; Loud chanting of the congratulatory message: "On the auspicious day of the month, the beginning of the Canadian Yuan service." Abandon your young ambitions, and become virtuous. Shou Kao Weiqi, Jieer Jingfu. ”
Keke accompanied Qingwan to the room to change into the prepared clothes, wearing a plain skirt, symbolizing the innocence of the cardamom girl. After the change, come out to do a bow, although Cui Tinglan and his wife as the master but can not stand her kneeling, this worship is to thank the parents for the grace of nurturing, so Qingwan bowed in the direction of the capital according to the ceremony, and when she got up, her eyes were red, and she missed her parents, and she also sighed about the present......
Later, Si Chunxiang offered a hairpin, and Grandma Wei took it, walked to Qingwan, and chanted a greeting in a loud voice: "Jiyue Lingchen, Nai Shenerfu." Respect for the majesty, the grace of the soot. Eyebrows live for 10,000 years, and will always be blessed by Hu. ”…… Changed out of the skirt and wore a deep coat in a curved skirt, showing the appearance of a bright girl.
Then there is the second prostration, facing the main guests, and performing a formal salute to show respect for the teacher and seniors.
Then there are three plus, there is Si Chunxiang to present the hairpin crown, Zhengbin took it, walked to Qingwan, and chanted the greetings loudly: "With the right of the year, with the order of the month, the salty gar is served." Brothers are there, in order to become a virtue. The astragalus is boundless, and it is celebrated by the sky. ”…… Changing out of the curved deep clothes, wearing the dress sent by Jinli Lou, the clothes are fluttering, and the golden silk threads shine in the eyes of the guests with the gentle movement. The brocade clothes are full of grace and atmosphere, luxurious and extraordinary, to borrow a modern saying: the world confiscates ugly women, only lazy women. What's more, Qingwan is already bright, and under the proper dress, she looks even more beautiful and dazzling.
Then there are three bows, and worship to the heavens to show the respect of the kings of heaven and earth.
Later, he went through all kinds of complicated etiquette, and it was not until after the ceremony was completed that Keke left with Qingwan.
In addition to all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, the most gratifying thing is the red wine.
After the banquet, Chen Qing and Chen Hong carried the cake into the women's room, looking at the cake brought by Chen Qing, everyone looks at me, I look at you, I don't know what this is?
"This is the cake I made for you, you will take a knife and cut it into small pieces and share it with everyone, so that everyone can also have some joy of your birthday." Keke said to Keke.
"You got up early in the morning to do this for me?" Qingwan asked.
"Oh, it took me a lot of effort to do it well!" Keke smiled and said, "Cut quickly, everyone is still waiting to eat!" ”
"Hmm!" I didn't say thank you, but the tears that fell from my eyes revealed my thoughts.
"Silly boy, what are you crying about, you should be happy today." Qing, who was sitting next to Qing Wan, took out his handkerchief and wiped Qing Wan's eyes.
"I'm happy when I see it!" It feels good to be remembered by someone!
"Look at your child's temperament, it's a joke, you'll be an adult after today!" Qing said.
"No, after today, we can talk about marriage!" Yang laughed and said that Zhang Xingwang and Li Changsheng's family in the village were invited over.
After everyone laughed, Qingwan also cut the cake, one of the two cakes was left inside for the female family to taste, and the other was served to the male guests outside.
After sending off the guests, everyone sat in the living room to rest, and Mrs. Cui took out a set of ruby heads and handed them to Qingwan, who said, "Thank you, grandmother, I now have more jewelry than Keke." ”
"It's said that there are three girls in the family, but if it's about dressing up, only you are suitable, Keke is about the same age as you. Look at everyone, this is clearly the same as a grandson, not to mention going to the academy every day, even when he comes back, he is busy regardless of the southeast, northwest, and northwest. And Chenchen, at most, wear a beaded flower! Mrs. Cui said.
Qing also teased: "It's not the same as what my mother said, Keke is the most similar to Yihan in terms of appearance and intelligence compared to her cousins." "Yihan is Cui Haojing's word.
After speaking, he took out a prepared box, opened it and handed it to Keke and said, "This is given to you by your little aunt." "A jasper hairpin is lying in the box, the whole body is pale green, glowing with a faint green light, it is a treasure at a glance.
"Compared with grandmother and mother to give Sister Qingwan, we can't even get what we are prepared!" The seventh Cui Haoze said.
"That's you, what I prepared for Sister Qingwan is no worse than that of my grandmother and aunt." The fourth Cui Haopeng said. As he spoke, he took out something and gave it to Qingwan and said, "Sister Qingwan, take a look, I like this." A bright, golden abacus appeared in front of everyone's eyes. "This is for Sister Qingwan, may my sister's Xiangge make more money."
"Thank you, Fourth Brother." Qingwan happily took the golden abacus, "I will use this to settle accounts in the future." ”
"This is for my sister Qingwan." The seventh Cui Haoze took out a jade pendant and said, the fineness of the jade is worse than the jade hairpin sent by the Qing family, and it can't be compared with the head sent by Mrs. Cui.
"Thank you, Brother Seven." Qingwan took it.
This is the sixth Cui Haoyi took out a wooden hairpin and said with a smile: "Although mine is not as valuable as yours, it is better to be attentive." "You can see that the hairpin is just carved.
"You won't be reluctant to spend money to carve a hairpin to send Sister Qingwan!" Cui Haopeng said unceremoniously.
"I said that you are vulgar, our sister Qingwan is still lacking gold and silver jewelry! It's that my grandmother and mother are extraordinary, I definitely can't compare, and I personally make one to give to my sister. Cui Haoyi directly laughed at Cui Haopeng for being cheesy.
"Why are we vulgar, it's clear that you're stingy!" Cui Haopeng said nonchalantly.
"Fourth brother is right!" At this time, Cui Haoze didn't care that Cui Haoyi was his own brother, and he was laughing at himself when he joked that the fourth brother was cheesy, so how could he not defend himself.
Later, it was Mama Cui who also sent the clothes sewn by hand for Qingwan, "I will be a big girl in the future, and I must not be as casual as before!" "Xu is no longer the previous oppression, Qing Nizi is now speaking and acting more and more straightforwardly, a little brainless.
"Well, thank you, Mama Cui." Qingwan replied with some embarrassment.
Qian came into the house, gave a purse, and said a few more words before withdrawing.
After the Qian family left, the Qing family took Qingwan's hand and said: "Qingwan, you are now a big girl, it is not suitable for you to go out and show your face again, in the future, Xiangge will let the family choose someone to manage, you can follow your aunt to learn to be a housekeeper at home?" ”
Qingwan listened to Qing's words, didn't know how to answer, turned her head to look at Keke, and asked for advice.
"What my aunt thinks about is that you will learn housekeeping at home with your aunt in the future, and you will be able to manage the house well when you get married in the future." "If you want to continue making soap, you can have more rooms in the house dedicated to you." ”
Instantly understood what Keke meant, this is to find a place for the soap essential oil perfume in the jade realm, and hurriedly followed Keke's words and said: "Okay, I'm just a little reluctant, but after listening to my aunt's words, I will follow my aunt's housekeeper at home, and spend some time making soap every day." ”
I am very satisfied with Qingwan's response, and now I am cooperating more and more tacitly.
A few days later, Cui Tingyu, who had been running around the country a few years ago, returned to Fengxiang Village again, followed by seven or eight people.
