Twelve Ruyi building branches, each family supplies 100 catties of koji rice noodles per month, and the small workshop of the Liu family needs to produce 1,200 catties a month, and the labor intensity cannot be said to be small.

A few days later, in the morning, the Liu family was busy performing their duties.

Liu Bowen and his son went out to buy glutinous rice, the Liu family only planted one acre of glutinous grain, and the rice milled out had already been consumed, and they were responsible for the procurement, and Xiucai and his son quickly completed the transformation from scholars to small businessmen.

Qiaozhen cleaned in the front yard, the peasant girl was diligent, and these jobs were all done, and since she came, she tried her best to help Xie with housework, and Xie's pressure has decreased a lot.

Xie Chungui drove the mule to push the mill, and Cai put the dried red yeast rice into the stone mill next to him, and the husband and wife cooperated tacitly, and the two of them and their twin brothers were the main producers of koji rice noodles.

The area of the inner courtyard is large, Xie Shi and Liu Qingyan are busy cleaning the inner courtyard, Qingzhi squatting on the edge of the flower bed to watch the ants move, and Mrs. Liu is basking in the sun in the yard, looking at Qingzhi by the way.

Now that Mrs. Liu's health is improving, the most worrying thing is Qingzhi, who needs to go to Tongjitang every three days to receive acupuncture diagnosis and treatment, but fortunately, as long as she is not hungry, she will not make a fuss, and she can count the ants for half a day when she squats alone. The only thing to watch out for is that she runs outside, so always keep the courtyard door closed.

There is still a lot of rice in the barn of the old house, and the old man Liu drove the carriage to take Dawu and Xiaowu back to the village to grind rice, and make koji rice noodles for his own japonica rice first.

After cleaning the front yard, Qiaozhen was about to go back to the inner courtyard to see what else to do, when she heard someone knocking on the door, so she went to answer the door.

When I opened the door, I saw a very handsome young man, followed by two family members holding gifts.

The young man outside the door, wearing a snow-blue embroidered white plum pattern brocade robe, wide sleeves and silk belts, black hair with a hairband of the same color on the top of the head, the tail end from both shoulders to the chest, both hands holding a folding fan, handsome eyebrows and eyes, the face is peach and red, it can be called the color of the flower of spring dawn.

Fourteen-year-old Qiaozhen is a young girl in Huaichun, and when she suddenly saw a young man with such a graceful demeanor, her cheeks suddenly turned red, her heart was beating wildly, and she hung her head nervously, not knowing what to say.

"Girl, this is a willow house?" The young man frowned, thinking to himself how stupid this girl was.

Qiao Zhen bit her lip, looked up intently, and quickly lowered her head and whispered: "The owner of the house is surnamed Liu, who are you looking for?" ”

"I am a student of Master Liu, and I am also a classmate of Brother Lan Qing, knowing that Master has moved to a new house, I came to congratulate him, and I also asked the girl to pass it on."

"It turned out to be my uncle's student, so please come in." Qiaozhen took two steps back, still not daring to raise her head.

Uncle? It turned out that it was not a maid.

The young man muttered in his heart, raised his legs and stepped into the door of the house.

After Qiaozhen waited for everyone to go in, she closed the door and said, "I'll call the second aunt to come", turned around and ran inside.

The young man who was left in place was in a mess in his heart.

Xie Chungui, who was grinding koji rice noodles in the corner of the side, saw that the noodles were no longer grinding, and came to see the novelty.

Cai's circle around Li Guang and praised: "Tsk, Xiao Langjun looks so handsome, just like the fairy in the painting." ”

The young man was depressed, how could there be such a reason to treat guests like this, he arched his hand casually, and said, "The eldest lady has won the award." ”

Liu Qingyan heard Qiaozhen say that the young man outside was Liu Bowen's student, he was white and handsome, and she had already guessed seven or eight points in her heart, so she hurriedly put down the broom and greeted Xie Shi.

When the young man saw Xie and Liu Qingyan coming out, he stepped forward and saluted, "My wife is fine, and my sister is good." ”

"It's Li Guang, why are you here?" Xie greeted with a smile.

"A few days ago, on my grandmother's birthday, I heard the eldest cousin who came to pay homage to her birthday, and I learned that the master's family had moved into the city. Li Guang explained.

"You kid is a lot of courtesy, we haven't held a banquet when we moved, you don't know it's natural."

Liu Qingyan smiled: "I heard Sister Qiaozhen say that there is a handsome son, I guess it's you." He looked behind Li Guang, and then said, "Don't stand, go and sit inside, my front yard can't entertain guests." ”

"I'm a male guest, isn't it appropriate to enter the inner house?" Li Guang hesitated not to take a step.

"My family doesn't have this rule, so you should still be in Baishui Village, and your father and brother will come back in a while."

Liu Qingyan led Li Guang inside as she spoke, and the two family members holding gifts had no choice but to follow.

Cai grabbed Xie Shi behind him and asked, "Second sister, where did such a handsome little Langjun come from?" ”

Xie Shi smiled: "It's a student of Xianggong teaching in the town, and he has been to the house before. ”

Cai nodded, and then continued to work with Xie Chungui.

After entering the inner courtyard, Xie Gu was busy with his work, and Liu Qingyan took Li Guang to see Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu was also very happy to see Li Guang, the old man already likes children, and handsome children are even more pleasing.

Li Guang didn't know what had happened to the Liu family, but seeing that Mrs. Liu's body was much thinner than before, and her face was not good-looking, he hurriedly asked, "Is my grandmother in any health, have you ever asked a doctor to come and see?" ”

If someone asked about it before, Mrs. Liu had to cry and wipe her tears again, at this time her mood had opened up a lot, only her face changed slightly, and she smiled lightly: "My grandmother was sick a while ago, and now she is getting better, and she will be able to return to normal in a few days." ”

Li Guang is not a person who doesn't know how to observe words and feelings, and when he saw this scene, he didn't ask any more, and called the family to come forward, took one of the gift boxes in his hand and opened it for Mrs. Liu to see, "I brought some supplements today, which are suitable for my grandmother's body supplement." ”

"Every time you come here, your child brings a lot of things, and my grandmother is embarrassed to accept them." Mrs. Liu smiled kindly, but she didn't know what was in the box.

Liu Qingyan leaned over and took a look, my good girl, ginseng! Looking at the size, the year should not be short, wild ginseng is not cheap, and it is not easy to buy.

Qiaozhen brought tea and put it on the small table next to Li Guang, and didn't dare to raise her eyelids and hurriedly left, as if there was a ghost behind her.

Li Guang was extremely depressed, did he look so scary?

After a conversation, Liu Bowen and Liu Lanqing, who went out to buy glutinous rice, came back, and now they understand the importance of shopping around and bargaining.

With Liu Bowen and Liu Lanqing accompanying the guests, Liu Qingyan went out to work.

Mrs. Liu continued to bask in her sun, but Qingzhi still squatted in place and counted the ants.

After a while, Mrs. Shi came strolling around, and when she saw that Li Guang was really handsome, she secretly wanted to let him come to Liu's house more often when her grandson came back.

Li Guang didn't stay long this time, and after sitting for a while, he got up and said goodbye and left, saying that he still had important matters.

In the afternoon, when Old Man Liu came back from Baishui Village, Qin Yanzi followed and brought a cart of good charcoal.

The charcoal was burned by the villagers themselves, and the selected ones were gathered together to thank Liu Qingyan for teaching everyone to pickle duck eggs.

Liu Qingyan looked at a large cart of charcoal, and her heart suddenly warmed, sending charcoal before the snow is more precious than sending charcoal in the snow.

In addition to ginseng and deer antler velvet, the gifts Li Guang sent this time also included four silk and satin materials, lake green duck yellow and lilac red, all of which are suitable colors for young women to wear.

It's the end of October now, and it's time to make winter clothes, and Xie Chungui and the others haven't brought much clothes.

Now that she has silver in her pocket and a money-making business at home, Liu Qingyan asked Old Man Liu to send her to Jixiang Buzhuang, and she pulled back a dozen satin horses and a bunch of cotton very proudly.

These materials, plus the four horses sent by Li Guang, are enough for each person to make a cotton coat and a coat.

"The materials brought by Li Guang belong to me, Sister Qiaozhen and Sister Qingzhi, these are all yours." Liu Qingyan carried the material into the room and announced with a smile.

Dawu and Xiaowu cheered in unison, and each picked up a horse and compared it to his body.

Qiaozhen's heart moved, and she was surprised and faintly expectant, who in the girl's family doesn't want to dress beautifully, let alone the materials brought by the handsome boy.

Cai Shi was uneasy, stepped forward to touch the satin, and refused: "What is it to make us this good clothes, it is good to work every day and wear good clothes, it is better to change it to cheesecloth, that is, it is warm and durable, and you can make good materials yourself." ”

Xie Chungui also said: "Yan girl, uncle knows that you mean well, but if our Zhuang family wears satin clothes and goes out to make jokes for others, it is better to make cotton cloth." ”

When Dawu Xiaowu heard this, he immediately put down the material, saying that he didn't look like a rich man's son in satin clothes.

Liu Qingyan smiled and persuaded: "Brother Dawu is not going to marry after the New Year, if you don't wear the new clothes, you will keep them for happy events and then wear them, we are all dressed decently, and the bride's face is also bright, when the first batch of goods is rushed out and the work is not tight, I will buy a few more horses, and you will take the time to send them back to your grandfather and uncle, and they will also make two bodies." ”

Cai Shi hurriedly said: "I can't help it, how much silver does it cost to make silk clothes, or I will send this material back to my father and mother, I will still wear cotton." ”

Xie Chungui agreed.

Liu Qingyan straightened her face and said: "My uncle's family came to help with the work and refused to accept the salary, isn't this affection worth two clothes, if you don't accept this clothes, then I will give you a salary!" ”

Xie Chungui and his wife saw her face change, looked at each other, and hesitated.

Liu Lanqing came out to help persuade, "Uncle, aunt, now our sister is in charge of our family, whatever she says, we will do it, and you should also obey your sister." ”

The old man of the Liu family and others also spoke out to persuade each other.

Cai Shi was silent at this time, and dragged Xie Chungui and Dawu Xiaowu out to work.

The material cotton was bought, and then it was to make clothes, which was contracted by Xie Shi and Qiaozhen, and it was not easy to make clothes for more than a dozen people.

Liu Qingyan led Dawu Xiaowu to make "pressed wine", which also takes about two months to make, just for the New Year to drink.

The so-called "pressed liquor" is a home-brewed glutinous rice sweet wine mixed with domestic rice shochu, sealed and preserved for secondary fermentation, and then pressed to extract the wine.

The color of the wine is white with yellow, crystal clear, like sugar, the color, fragrance and taste are good, the taste is mellow, and the drunkenness is not on the head, especially suitable for women to drink.

The first few processes of "pressing wine" are the same as making koji rice noodles, which is also to soak rice, steam rice, cool and then mix koji.

At first, everyone thought it was ordinary glutinous rice liqueur.
