The rice in the jar has been brewed for seven or eight days, and it has already become rice wine.

Xue Su first lifted the straw of the accumulation, and then removed the wooden cover, and suddenly the rich aroma of wine came to his face, and he felt intoxicating when he smelled it, and he didn't know what it was like to drink it into his stomach.

Thinking of this, she scooped some out of the gourd, tasted the rice wine in small sips, and the mellow taste in the mouth made Xue Su's eyes shine again and again, she never thought that her winemaking skills would be so good.

Rice wine is one of the main ingredients for making willow dew, and the soup that has been boiled with wood flour has been simmering on the stove for several days, and now it has become extremely thick.

Xue Su took a bowl of rice wine and walked to the kitchen, mixed the transparent wine with the thick green juice, put it in the wine jar and exposed it to the sun for a few days, and then it was considered to be ready for willow dew.

Xue Su has been staying in the Chu family for the past few days, and the red bumps on her face that were stung by wild bees can no longer be seen.

I don't know if it's good to eat, the originally sunken cheeks are a little plump, the apricot eyes seem to be watery, revealing a flattery, and the plain white is more amorous than the real twenty-eight girl.

Although Xue Su values money, he is not the iron rooster who waits for a dime.

It's just about to be used on the blade, and the three people in the family are all skinny, and they keep the silver money in their hands, so it is better to get some food.

Out of this thought, Xue Su killed a hen that didn't lay eggs a few days ago, and stewed it in a pot with white rice, the shredded chicken porridge had a strong fragrance, not only Chu Qinghe loved to drink it, but even Lian Sheng drank it with a round belly, which showed that the taste was not bad.

In the morning, Chu Qinghe was not at home, Xue Su went to the bank of the river to wash clothes, and half of the children in the village caught fish on the side, she spent a few pennies to buy some, and went to the Chen family next door to bring back a piece of tender tofu and stew a pot of fish soup.

Just as she was drying her wet clothes on the bamboo pole, Lian Sheng rushed out with a pale face, and said in a panic:

"Auntie, I've been bleeding, what should I do, am I going to die?"

Xue Su was stunned when she heard this, her eyes fell on the little girl's cloth clothes with a little red marks, and she reacted for a moment before saying, "Don't be afraid, it's just that you're coming to Kwai Shui, just wear a menstrual belt." ”

Pulling Liansheng's thin wrist into the house, there were still a few unused menstrual belts in the bamboo basket.

Xue Su is picky, and the ordinary village women come to menstruation, and they are reluctant to spoil the expensive new cotton, so they use plant ash to stop the bleeding.

However, she disliked the uncleanliness of the grass and wood, and spent a lot of money to buy fine cotton, and made several menstrual belts, which happened to come in handy now.

Nodding Liansheng's forehead, Xue Su smiled and said: "When a woman is twelve or thirteen, she will come to Kui, and if you are red, it means that you have grown into a big girl, and you don't have to be afraid......"

Lian Sheng glanced at her aunt timidly, listened carefully to her about the use of the menstrual belt, and waited until she wiped the blood stains off her body, the little girl blushed, and was driven back to the house by Xue Su, lying on the bed to rest.

When many women come to Kui, the lower abdomen hurts like a knife, Xue Su is afraid that Liansheng will grit his teeth and endure the pain, so he turned out more than a dozen red dates in the kitchen jar, and boiled them in a casserole with honey, and let her drink them while they were hot, which can also relieve some of the swelling pain.

When Chu Qinghe came back in the afternoon, he couldn't see Liansheng's pale face, but he could hear a little weakness from his voice.

Today he hunted a hare, the hare is no better than a roe deer, not worth any money, rather than bothering to ask people to take it to Jingyang City to sell, it is better to make some food for his family to replenish.

In his previous life, Xue Su was only good to Wang Youqing, and used the secret recipe left by Xue's mother to nourish the body of that beast, otherwise with his thin body, I am afraid that he would not be able to survive the imperial examination.

Once again, her heart was like a mirror, knowing that the only people she could rely on were Chu Qinghe and Liansheng, so she served a bowl of soup to the two of them first.

Although there is not much fish in the river, the stew is very tasty, and the price is not expensive, which is much more affordable than the cheapest pork.

After eating, Xue Su went into the kitchen to boil hot water, and as the weather became more and more sultry, she would take a shower every night to wash away the sweat stains on her body.

It was very hot on the edge of the stove, and Xue Su was holding a pu fan in his hand, and there was no fan of the wind.

There was a sound of footsteps behind her, and she looked back and found that it was Chu Qinghe walking slowly.

"Why don't you go back and rest?"

The man didn't say anything, and after the water in the pot boiled, Xue Su poured the hot water into the wooden bucket, and just wanted to carry it into the house, but he didn't expect to be snatched by Chu Qinghe.

Seeing him limping ahead, Xue Su looked happy, secretly thinking that his hard work was not in vain, and the surname Chu was not hard-hearted, so he was finally covered by her.

Quickening her pace to push the wooden door open, she seemed to have no intention of saying:

"My bed is smaller, and it's not very comfortable to live in, but your room is spacious......"

I thought that when it came to this, Chu Qinghe would agree to her move to the big house, but after this person poured hot water into the wooden barrel, he strode away without looking back.

Xue Su stared at his back, his apricot eyes seemed to be able to breathe fire, and he stomped his feet with hatred.

After adding well water, rice washing water and a bowl of rice wine to the bucket, she soaked in the bucket.

Washing rice water has the effect of white skin, although Xue Su is not black, but the Dayu Dynasty takes white as beauty, and there is no woman who does not want her skin to be white and snowy.

There was a faint smell of wine in the room, the woman's small face was pink, the corners of her forehead overflowed with a trace of fine sweat, and with her slightly open red lips, she showed a little color, not like the dry and sallow appearance before.

After a few more days, the willow dew was finally prepared, and with the experience of his previous life, Xue Su had great confidence in this thick green juice, and he pondered going to Jingyang City that day.

Chu Qinghe was chopping wood in the courtyard, Xue Su walked up to him in a few steps, opened his mouth, and rubbed for a long time before saying, "I want to go to the city......"

turned her head to Xue Su, even if she knew that this person was blind, but for some reason, standing in front of Chu Qinghe, she was always a little panicked, probably because she had done the pickling of red apricots out of the wall, and her heart was weak.

"Why go to Jingyang?"

She stepped on the wood at her feet and whispered:

"I made something and wanted to sell it in the city, and if I could exchange it for some silver, you wouldn't have to work so hard."

Chu Qinghe knew that Xue Su was tinkering with some strange things, but he didn't expect that a woman would have the idea of exchanging those things for money.

Although he felt that this matter was unreliable, Chu Qinghe did not refuse, he thought for a moment and said: "Chen Shan will go to the city to sell tofu early tomorrow morning, and we will go with him when the time comes." ”

Hearing this, Xue Su was so overjoyed that he couldn't speak, he didn't fall asleep all night, and he was confused for a while when it was almost dawn.

Xue Su is also a beautiful person in the end, even if he didn't rest well last night, he still got up half an hour in advance, washed his face with the cool well water, and drew his eyebrows with charcoal that had been burned, and the whole person looked much more watery.

After cooking porridge and putting it on the stove, Xue Su and Chu Qinghe drank some while it was hot, and when Chen Shan came to call someone, they hurriedly walked out.

Selling tofu pays attention to the time, if you enter the city late, the business is all robbed by your peers, and you make less money, isn't it a loss?

Chu Qinghe had inconvenient legs and feet, and sat on the ox cart.

Chen Shan was driving the car with wicker while secretly looking at Xue Su.

On weekdays, Chen Shan has not seen Xue Su for several days, but now that he looks closely, he only feels that the woman is whiter than before, and there is meat on her face.

His gaze gradually moved downward, falling on the heaved arc of his waist and hips, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and his thoughts couldn't help but diverge a little.

Xue Su didn't notice Chen Shan's eyes, she glanced at the jars placed on the cart, there were only two in total, each jar was the size of a human head, which was filled with willow dew, and she drank one jar a day, which was enough for half a month.

Although Jingyang City is not as prosperous as the capital, it is a big place in the end, and before the city gate, there are gradually more pedestrians passing by.

Chu Qinghe jumped down from the cart, said something to Chen Shan, took something, and the two separated.

"Where are you going now?"

"Go to Liu's rice shop in the east of the city."

Xue Su remembered very well that the young lady of Liu's rice shop was fifteen this year and had not yet married.

It stands to reason that a woman of this age should have decided on her family affairs a long time ago, and this Miss Liu is fat, with a full 200 catties, even if the Liu family spends a lot of money to hire a matchmaker, they can't settle the marriage.

That Cheng Sanniang let Miss Liu's figure regain her slenderness, so that she became famous in Jingyang City.

Although the two don't come to Jingyang often, they are natives, and Liu Jiami has been spread for more than ten years, so it is not difficult to find.

The morning breeze was clear, not too hot, and when he walked to Liujiamipu, Xue Su lowered his voice and said, "You wait outside first, and I'll come when I go." ”

After that, she sped up her pace and went directly to the back door of Liu's house, and the mother-in-law guarding the door saw Xue Su, glanced at her with a pair of hanging eyes, and asked angrily:

"Who's here, what are you doing here?"

Xue Su took out some silver money from his arms and flattered: "I'm tired of the eldest sister to be accommodating, let the little woman go to meet the young lady......"

Although the Liu family has some constant production in Jingyang City, it is not a big family, and the errand of guarding the back door is not fat.

I saw this mother-in-law with a meaty face flipping the money in her hand and asking:

"What are you doing with Miss?"

Xue Su whispered: "The little woman has good things for Miss, and when she is happy, she will be indispensable for your benefits......"

After some talking, Xue Su finally entered Liu's house, and the mother-in-law took her directly to the backyard where the master lived, and the personal maid introduced her into the house.

As soon as he entered the bedroom, Xue Su saw the woman sitting on the Eight Immortals chair.

She had long heard that Miss Liu had gained more than 200 pounds, and when she saw it today, she was ...... No wind, no waves.

The woman had a lot of fat on her body, squeezed her facial features together, and her buttocks stuffed the wooden chair to the brim, making an overwhelming squeak.

It wasn't very hot early in the morning, and the hot sweat slid down her head, drenching the clothes on the placket.

Miss Liu raised her eyes and said, "Do you have anything good for me?" ”

Knowing that this was his first business, Xue Su didn't dare to slack off, took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "The little woman has a way to slim down, I don't know if Miss wants it?" ”
