Chapter Seventy-Seven: Trivia Years Ago

.. org, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the full court cuckoo red!

Daddy's last shallow smile flashed in front of Jiu'er's eyes, and then disappeared, and the mist in his eyes gradually became thick.

She loved the atmosphere in the house, everyone was so kind and friendly, and the smiles were genuine and warm. can make people, and now that he has become a slave, I am afraid that I will never be able to gather with my family and enjoy my family in this life, how sad is it?

Liu Qingyan knew what Jiu'er was thinking, and interrupted her thoughts quietly, "I'll go to the stove room to cook, and Sister Jiu'er will help me light the fire." ”

"Yes, girl." Jiu'er sniffed, the mist in his eyes dispersed, and followed Liu Qingyan to the stove room.

Walking in the corridor to the stove room, Liu Qingyan suddenly paused and turned around.

The wine that was walking with his head hanging was caught off guard and almost collided.

"You don't have to envy me, there was an accident in my family two months ago, and the situation at that time was not necessarily much better than yours." Liu Qingyan raised her head slightly and looked directly at Jiu'er.

Jiu'er was stunned, wondering why this master, who was much younger than herself, could always easily see through her thoughts.

"The stupid little girl next to my grandmother is the daughter of my third uncle, in September, she was still a normal person who loves to play and make trouble, and has a lively temperament, my brother was admitted to Xiucai at that time, and there is a good future waiting for him in front of him, my third uncle is still at home, and the family is happy to earn a little money, and live a small life of harmony and beauty." Liu Qingyan spoke in a calm tone, as if she was telling something that had nothing to do with her.

Jiu'er looked at her in surprise and listened intently.

"My third uncle was thrown into prison and sentenced to hard labor in that disaster, my brother's future was ruined, and my cousin became a fool. The beauty you see now is nothing but a fluke left over from that catastrophe. ”

Jiu'er froze, but she was more curious in her heart about how this family got out of the predicament in just two months.

"People will always suffer some unexpected hardships in their lives, and it is good to find a way to get through them. Although you are now a slave, if you do your best for me in the future, it is not impossible to reward you with a free body. ”

As soon as the words fell, Liu Qingyan turned around and left.

She is only cruel to those who will pose a threat to herself and her family, and has never thought of enslaving Chen Jiu'er for the rest of her life, but the current situation is forced to train a capable assistant.

Chen Jiu'er looked at the thin back in front of her, feeling a powerful force injected into her chest, and the flame of hope in her eyes suddenly rose.

Liu Qingyan entered the stove room, put on an apron, and began to wash rice and vegetables, ready to cook.

After Chen Jiu'er came in, she stopped Liu Qingyan, the maid must have the consciousness of a maid, the master does not treat you as a maid, but he must know how to be in good measure.

Liu Qingyan chuckled and said: "Everyone is used to eating my cooking, they may not be used to eating what you cook, you just give me a hand." ”

Chen Jiu'er was skeptical, but she no longer insisted and helped choose vegetables and wash them.

When Liu Qingyan started cooking, Chen Jiu'er immediately felt ashamed of her stupid ideas, she didn't know how to cook those dishes at all!

During the meal, Chen Jiu'er shirked and refused to sit down, and wanted to stand aside and serve.

Liu Qingyan glanced at the cold wind lightly, and Chen Jiu'er immediately stopped making a noise and obediently sat down opposite Liu Qingyan.

Because the decoration of the liquor store was too old, Liu Qingyan wanted to reopen it after renovation, and mentioned it after the meal, and by the way, let everyone think of a new liquor store signboard name.

As soon as they heard the name of the shop, Xie Chungui and the others immediately shook their heads and waved their hands, and went out to continue working.

The name of the shop should be elegant and unconventional, and all of Liu Ji Wine Shop was simply rejected by Liu Qingyan.

Xiucai's father and son came in handy at this time, and after some meditation, they decided to use the cup without stopping.

The wine will be poured in, and the glass will not stop.

Liu Qingyan remembered the famous sentence circulated by Li Taibai through the ages, and readily agreed.

Liu Bowen immediately sharpened his ink and wrote the signboard of the store.

The complete renovation of the shop will take a long time, and there is only a month before Chinese New Year's Eve, and the reopening can only wait until the next year.

Looking for a craftsman to decorate the shop, the matter of customizing the signboard was in charge of Xiucai father and son, and the time was pressing, and the two acted separately non-stop.

Chen Jiu'er had nothing to do during this time, so she helped make koji rice noodles in the Liu Mansion during the day, and went back to the small courtyard behind the wine shop to rest at night.

She has experience in sake brewing and is sure of the wet and dry state and temperature of rice, so she quickly learned how to use it.

Liu Qingyan's two jars of glutinous rice wine have been fermented, and she divides one of the jars into half and mixes them with the newly brewed rice shochu, and one jar of glutinous rice wine becomes two jars of "pressed wine".

Chen Jiu'er was very skeptical when he saw it, can he still drink glutinous rice wine mixed with soju?

Liu Qingyan smiled mysteriously and asked Chen Jiu'er to wait for twenty days to come and see.

The willow house is rushing to make koji rice noodles every day, and the twenty days pass quickly, and it will be the twentieth day of the lunar month in the blink of an eye.

Ruyi Lou had already sent someone to pull away the last batch of koji rice noodles, and the stock was for the next month.

Wash all the tools used to make koji rice noodles, and then equip them for the New Year.

"Twenty-one, make up your mind; Twenty-two, go to the streets; Twenty-three, send the king of the stove; Twenty-four, Chinese New Year's Eve; Twenty-five, grinding tofu; Twenty-six, chopping fat; Twenty-seven, kill the gelding; Twenty-eighth, make poop; Twenty-nine, there are all kinds of things; Chinese New Year's Eve, eat the present table. ”

This is a folk song spread in the countryside of Yongzhou Mansion, which describes the New Year process in detail, full of strong New Year's flavor and local cultural atmosphere.

On the twenty-first day of the lunar month, Xie Chungui's family is going back to Huangzhuao for the New Year, and Dawu's wedding date is set for the first month, but the specific day has not yet been decided, and the family has been making preparations.

Liu Qingyan divided the marinated salted pork leg into a piece, bacon, preserved pheasant, and preserved hare also picked up and asked her uncle's family to take back to eat for the New Year.

Because it is close to the end of the year, the dart bureau has no long-distance business to do, Shi Lei went to the mountains to hunt when he was in a hurry, and the food in the willow house and the dart bureau was not too good, and the game that could not be eaten was pickled and made into cured meat.

Considering that Huangzhuao lacked white rice, Liu Qingyan packed 50 catties of japonica rice and 10 catties of glutinous rice separately and made a load with game.

Xie Chungui and Dawu Xiaowu were all very happy, but Qiaozhen was a little sullen.

Since the Liu family moved to drink, she has paid great attention to her dress, looking forward to meeting Li Guang again.

Liu Qingyan can't say anything about Qiaozhen, I just hope it's not a deliberate, flowing water ruthless unrequited love.

After Xie Chungui's family left, the Liu Mansion also began to prepare for the New Year, and cleaned the house inside and out.

It's time for Liu Bowen and Liu Lanqing to show their skills, and every door of the house is pasted with Spring Festival couplets with various auspicious words.

There are some big and rough people in Weiyuan's dart game, Shi Wei and Shi Lei don't read much, and their cultural level is certainly not as good as that of the Liu family's father and son.

Seeing that the couplet at the door of Liu's house was well written, Shi Wei begged for it.

Helplessly, the house of the dart bureau was bigger and there were more doors, and the father and son of the Liu family wrote it for an afternoon to write the pair that Shi Wei wanted.

On the twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month, the craftsmen who renovated the wine shop also stopped work, saying that they would start work again on the sixth day of the first lunar month.

At noon, Xiao Wu came into the city again with a load of winter bamboo shoots, and told the Liu family that Dawu's wedding date was set for the tenth day of the first month, and asked the Xie family not to go back to his parents' house on the second day of the first month, and to wait for the tenth day of the first month.

After lunch, Xiao Wu didn't stay for a moment and hurried back to Huangzhu'ao.

At dusk, a strong wind arose, the north wind roared, and the wind carried the cold air of the night, rising layer by layer, and there were few pedestrians on the street, and most of the shops on both sides of the street were closed, and all kinds of flags rolled in the cold wind.

In the middle of the night, heavy snow falls from the sky, and the snow is silent and the cold wind is scarce.

The snow was covered with white snow, and the sky and the earth became one color overnight, clear and clear.

Liu Qingyan pushed open the door after getting up, and a cold wind came straight to her face, and she shivered and quickly closed the door.

I added a piece of clothing and made sure it was warm enough before pushing the door out again.

The snow fell from the sky one after another, without the slightest intention of stopping, and the snow on the ground had accumulated more than three inches, and it seemed that this was a rare heavy snowfall.

"Ruixue Mega Year", next year will be better than this year.

Liu Qingyan warmed her hands, rubbed her hands together for a while, and then put her hands to her mouth and shouted: "It's snowing, it's snowing." ”

The crisp voice was extremely loud as the snowflakes drifted through the courtyard, and after a while, the doors opened one by one.

"You girl, it's very strange to have snow, and I'm glad you be. If you don't hurry back to the house, beware of getting sick from the cold again, and you will come out again when the brazier is lit. ”

Xie said as he walked over and wanted to drag Liu Qingyan back to the house.

"Mother, I'm well dressed and warm." Liu Qingyan refused to go back to the house, she hadn't seen snow in years.

"Your ears are itching again, right, I'll scratch them for you." Xie Shi used the magic skill of pulling his ears.

"I'll go back, can't I go back?" Liu Qingyan begged for mercy repeatedly.

Xie dragged Liu Qingyan back to the house and stuffed her into the quilt, and told her daughter to wait for her to call before she was allowed to come out.

"Mom and Dad, I'm fine here, I hope you're all right." Liu Qingyan looked at the closed door and prayed in her heart.

Xie Shi gave birth to the brazier vigorously, and boiled the washing water before calling Liu Qingyan to go out to wash.

When he was washing, Chen Jiu'er came, holding an oil-paper umbrella, his hands were red from the cold, and his whole body was shivering.

The Liu family never thought that there would be people coming on a snowy day, no one went to the front yard, and the old man Liu went to the toilet and went to open the door when he heard the knock.

"On a snowy day, you still come here to do something, look at you frozen, sit down and roast the fire first." Liu Qingyan quickly washed up, beckoned the wine to sit by the brazier.

A large cart of charcoal sent by the villagers of Baishui Village could not be burned in a winter, and Xie was not stingy, and built two braziers, one pot was placed in the main house, and the other pot was still in the stove room.

"I'll see if there's anything I need to do here." Jiu'er refused to sit down, and when he saw that Xie was making breakfast, he went over to help.

Xie Shi smiled: "Why are you so outside, it's very easy to make breakfast, Auntie doesn't need your help, you go talk to Yan Yatou." ”

The wine is still hesitating.

Liu Qingyan flicked the carbon in the brazier with tongs, then glanced at her, and said, "I also plan to renovate the yard where you live, and you can live in the front yard in the future, there are all kinds of covering, you just go back and pack up your clothes." ”
