The news of Du Yunlan's successful Xiucai in the examination quickly spread throughout the alley, and the people who came to report the news came in waves and left happily with red envelopes.

Lian Ruolan hurriedly sent someone to Taoyuan Village to report the news, and then discussed with Du Yunnuan whether to make a drink and invite the neighbors to come over for a drink.

Du Lianping didn't express his opinion yet, but Du Yunlan vetoed it.

"Mother, don't be too extravagant, the Cheng family has always been low-key, presumably they won't deliberately promote anything, let's also keep a low profile, Dad, when the time comes, I will invite some classmates and masters to get together in the restaurant, and trouble Dad when the time comes."

Du Lianping agreed.

Du Yunnuan pondered, and then pulled Lian Ruolan aside to discuss, "Mother, I also think it's a bit exaggerated to invite you to eat and drink, but we can prepare some things and give them to people who know each other, this can be regarded as helping my brother celebrate, right?" ”

As for what the Li family will do in the village, Du Yunnuan can't think of it for the time being.

Maybe Du Yunlan will take her back at that time.

Even Ruolan thought about it, usually in the village, if there is any happy event at home, it is also necessary to send a letter to tell other people's families, but you can't just send a letter, you will attach some things.

Now is the time to do so.

Du Yunnuan and Lian Ruolan got together to figure out what to use as a gift, which could not only show that their family was happy for Du Yunlan's talent in the examination, but also not too high-profile.

In the end, Lian Ruolan decided to make some dim sum, she didn't usually do it, and she didn't do much in the Du family, so it was called wine-brewed cakes.

If you want to make wine, you have to prepare glutinous rice, etc., and it just so happens that the winemaking utensils and glutinous rice that Du Yunnuan and Du Lianping got back come in handy.

After the glutinous rice is cooked, spread on top of the white gauze to cool down, then poured into the wooden barrel, after the warm water and koji are thoroughly mixed, slowly mixed into the glutinous rice, the hands should be stirred in the same direction, and finally the glutinous rice thoroughly mixed with koji is put into the wine vat, covered with wet white gauze, and placed in a place with a relatively high temperature, waiting for fermentation.

After the fermentation was done, Lian Ruolan took out the sake brewed to make a sake cake, and the rest of the sake lees were either directly boiled to Du Yunnuan and them as desserts, or given to neighbors, which was unanimously praised.

Sake brewed and flour to make a pie crust, red beans and roses were boiled together and then strained out of the bean paste, and some mung bean paste was made separately, Lian Ruolan worked hard all day to make more than a hundred cakes, eight cakes in each small package, plus a few eggs, and then sent them to those who were familiar with each other in the county one by one.

The Cheng family, Sheng Yu Qianzhuang, Du Yunlan's master, etc., everyone said that they were good after eating this wine-brewed cake, and even several people came to Lian Ruolan to learn to make wine-brewed cakes.

However, Du Yunnuan didn't know much about this, so she followed Du Yunlan back to Taoyuan Village.

There are not as many scruples in the village as in the county, Taoyuan Village has produced two talents in so many years, one Du Lianping, and the other Du Lianping's son Du Yunlan, both father and son are as smart as each other, and they were both born in the Du family.

Du Yunlan was admitted to Xiucai at one time, Du Maoxing was happy, and on the night he learned the news, he asked Du Liansheng to open him a pot of wine, and the father and son drank it well.

When Du Yunlan came back with Du Yunnuan, the Li family told Du Yunlan that he wanted to invite the whole village to dinner.

This money is not from the Du family, there are two talents in Taoyuan Village, not only the Du family is happy, but the entire Taoyuan Village is also beneficial, Yang Decai directly said that he wanted to contribute some money, and other families also made up some of them, all to congratulate Du Yunlan.

On the day Du Yunlan took Du Yunnuan back to the village, most of the people in the village stood on the side of the road to greet him, and some people even squeezed up to hold hands with Du Yunlan, as if this was stained with the joy of Xiucai, and the baby would be able to take the Xiucai exam in the future.

Du Yunnuan followed all the way, dumbfounded.

And some people think that Du Yunnuan is a little lucky star, so Du Yunlan can be a show in the exam once, maybe it is Du Yunnuan's blessing, and she wants to reach out to touch Du Yunnuan, so frightened that she grabbed Du Yunlan and ran home quickly.

When she got home and told Du Yunyan about it, Du Yunyan almost laughed.

Wrong followed Du Yunnuan's side, at this time, Wrong Wrong had grown into a very powerful goose, the kind of big and mighty that could hold Du Yunnuan with wings.

"Go ......back and go out," Du Yunyan said with a smile, "Take the wrong one, protect you by the wrong one, make sure no one dares to touch you hahaha!" ”

"Fifth sister, you are really enough!"

Du Yunnuan pretended to be angry, and he screamed twice, his voice was very loud, which startled Du Yunnuan.

Du Yunyan almost laughed.

Du Yunnuan decided to ignore her.

She ran into her room.

Li Shi came out of the kitchen, saw that Du Yunyan was still laughing, and couldn't help but laugh a little, but she still knocked Du Yunyan, "Let you recruit Nannan, and I will ignore you next time." ”

Du Yunyan wiped a handful of tears from laughter, "Grandma, I really didn't mean it, little sister, she is really funny!" ”

Li shook his head and went back to the kitchen.

In the evening, Li took her own glutinous rice and cooked glutinous rice, she also felt good when she heard Du Yunnuan's wine-stuffed cakes, and planned to make some waiting for the banquet to entertain the villagers, but the rice wine still had to be brewed early.

Du Yunnuan was lying in his room, and suddenly he had a feeling of being at ease when he went home.

Her house has been unoccupied for most of the year, but there is no musty smell that has not been inhabited for a long time, which shows that someone often cleans it.

The weather is already a little cold at this time, a few days ago, Li dried all the quilts used in autumn and winter, and now Du Yunnuan smelled the smell of sunshine on the quilt, and felt warm in his heart.

She took a deep breath, although she was used to life in the county, she still had to say that it felt good to be at home.

Du Yunnuan had no dreams for a while, and when he woke up, he felt refreshed and got up directly.

The time for inviting the whole village to eat was set, and Li Liqiao came to Du's house early in the morning, "Old man, have you had breakfast?" ”

"We've got to go to town!"

Li Liqiao and Du Liansheng are going to go to the town together to buy vegetables, and after they buy it, they have to deal with it today, and they have to prepare it early in the morning.

Du Liansheng just finished eating the last bite of the cake, picked up the porridge bowl and drank a large bowl of porridge after snoring a few bites, "Come on, my ox cart is set, I can leave now, second brother hurry up!" ”

Du Liancheng was the same, and he followed Du Liansheng out after breakfast.

"Grandma, is there anything I can do?" Du Yunnuan finished eating, put down his chopsticks and asked.

"Later, your fifth sister is going to Lixia Village, you and your fifth sister will go to Lixia Village together, send a letter to your eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law, and bring them something."

To be able to go to Du Yunjuan, Du Yunnuan liked it quite a lot, and agreed immediately.
