.. org, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the full court cuckoo red!
As soon as Patriarch Liu announced two major news before the banquet, the cheers were thunderous, and the atmosphere was unprecedentedly high.
Zhu Hongyu quietly stuffed a silver ticket into Liu Qingyan's hand, and said, "Sister, your workshop has just begun to make money, and the silver sister-in-law who built the school has come out for you." ”
Liu Qingyan unfolded the silver ticket and saw that it was five hundred taels, and she was busy returning it, and said: "You don't need to give labor money to build a school, you can't use this much, I can take out one or two hundred taels of silver." ”
Zhu Hong said with a smile: "If there are more, buy some pen, ink and paper for the children, I see that the villagers are not too rich now, and it is not easy to provide a reader." Besides, my father and mother gave me a lot of dowries, which is enough for me to spend in my life, and what else does the family share with each other. ”
Liu Qingyan thought for a moment, no longer shirked, and said with a smile: "I borrowed this silver, and I will return it to my sister-in-law when I earn more money." ”
The dowry brought by Zhu Hong, in addition to the two Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city, there are also five shops in the city, large and small pieces of precious furniture, silk and satin cloth are piled up in the three east chambers, several large boxes of jewelry, and I don't know how many silver tickets at the bottom of the box.
This feast was enjoyed by the villagers, and it was not dispersed until the beginning of Shen Shi.
As for what Guo Laohan released, the Liu family didn't take it to heart, and there was really no one in Yuxi County who dared to come to them for trouble.
In the early summer of April, the pear blossoms and peach blossoms have been defeated one after another, but the rhododendrons on Yangmingshan have only been released, a bush of white, a bush of red, and a bush of pink...... Staggered and overlapped, like a giant color ink painting painted by nature.
At this time, the upper reaches of the mountain road are full of people, all of whom come from all over the world to admire the flowers.
Along the mountain road, the purple and red, the azaleas that bloom to the fullest are even more affectionate, full of spirit, so that the flower admirers are almost fascinated.
In the crowded crowd of flowers, a group of young men and women are particularly conspicuous, attracting tourists to stop and praise, and people are more beautiful than flowers.
This team of people is the Zhu family's Zhu Honglin couple, the Liu family's Liu Lanqing husband and wife, Liu Qingyan and Shi Hengyu who are not married, plus several maids who accompany them, and it seems that there is also a Wang Xiaoer.
Liu Qingyan asked Jiu'er to come to enjoy the flowers together, and by the way, she also called Wang Xiaoer to create a chance for the two of them to get along.
Wang Xiaoer walked at the end in fear, it was difficult for him to see a few sons, let alone play with others.
Seeing his appearance, Jiu'er deliberately slowed down and walked side by side with him, and gradually, the two of them distanced themselves from the team.
"It's not a way for you to go on like this, you have to find a serious thing to do, it's because you want to be a ruffian for the rest of your life, and you can't collect protection money."
"I can't do anything other than a few three-legged cat punches and kicks, and I don't even know how to do it without being a ruffian?"
"Miss is kind, I'll tell her another day, let's see if there is a job suitable for you."
Jiu'er and Wang Xiaoer talked in a whisper as they walked.
To climb to the highest place to look out, the fiery red rhododendrons or clusters into clusters, or into a piece of continuous piece, wandering on the top of the hundred ridges and thousands of mountains of Yangmingshan, forming a sea of flowers that stretches for dozens of miles, it is the fairyland of the world where the mountains are flying red and the thousand peaks are competing for the cuiwei.
The two Zhuangzi who made the dowry for Zhu Hongfei were located in the area at the foot of the mountain.
Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of her, Liu Qingyan was in a happy mood, and her bold words came from her heart: "One day I will buy all the land under the mountain." ”
Shi Hengyu was puzzled, frowned and asked, "What do you do when you buy it, do you want to be a peasant woman?" ”
"Open a super large farmhouse!" Liu Qingyan glared at him and said: "Now my sister-in-law's Zhuangzi has pear blossoms and peach blossoms, and then transplant some rhododendrons on the mountain into it, and my winery will also move over, and build a few more gardens. ”
"What is a farmhouse?"
People wandering along the flower path to admire the flowers gathered around.
"Farmhouse is a tourism project with agricultural activities and pastoral scenery as the theme, which integrates travel and vacation, leisure and entertainment, just like you go to Zhuangzi to live in a small stay, but the form of fun is more diverse, and a certain fee is charged per person." Liu Qingyan explained.
Everyone listened to a half-understanding, and many words did not understand their meaning at all, and only understood a sentence like going to Zhuangzi to live in a small house, and couldn't help but continue to ask.
Liu Qingyan made a brief introduction, and then led a group of people down the mountain to Zhuangzi to experience it on the spot.
In addition to planting a lot of fresh fruits, this Zhuangzi also has a large vegetable garden and fish pond, and there are many chickens in the orchard, and a large flock of ducks and geese swim on the surface of the fish pond.
Asked the people in Zhuangzi to bring some tools, and Liu Qingyan assigned work to everyone.
"You, go and catch two chickens in the orchard."
Shi Hengyu was just about to leave, and another sentence came from behind: "You must not use martial arts, it's like hunting." ”
"Oh."
"Brother, you and Second Brother Zhu, and Little Second Brother, go to the fish pond to catch a duck and a goose."
Liu Lanqing grew up in the countryside since he was a child, but he really couldn't do these jobs, scratched his head, and led Zhu Honglin and Wang Xiaoer away.
"Don't ask the people in the Zhuangzi to help you arrest you."
A sentence was added to the end.
"What about us, what are we going to do?"
The women were eager to try.
Liu Qingyan gave each of them a basket, "Let's go to the vegetable field to pick vegetables." ”
Zhu Hong, the second grandmother of the Zhu family, and a group of maids have never been to the vegetable garden at all, and they used to come to Zhuangzi, and they also ate ready-made. Now I have to pick the vegetables by myself, which feels very novel and interesting, Hulala followed Liu Qingyan and ran to the vegetable field.
"What is this?"
"Chili."
"What's the slender strip?"
"Beans."
"Ah, there's a big guy here."
"That's winter melon."
"Oh, that's what winter melons look like."
There were voices in the vegetable field, and laughter continued.
The women wanted to put everything in the basket, and they didn't care about the dirt staining their embroidered shoes, and the leaves stained their dresses.
Liu Qingyan patiently explained which ones could be picked and which ones were too small to pick.
In the end, the basket was filled until it was no longer lifted.
While the girls were picking melons and vegetables, the one who went to catch chickens in the orchard had already stunned the two chickens with small stones.
Because he remembered that he was not allowed to use martial arts, he wandered through the fruit forest for a while before returning.
The three ducks and geese caught by the fish pond were not so easy, and in the end, Wang Xiaoer went into the water to flutter for half a day to catch them.
Wang Xiaoer, who was wet, had a duck in his left hand and a goose in his right hand, he didn't dare to let the two eldest sons work.
Back in the courtyard on Zhuangzi, Wang Xiaoer asked the farmer for clean clothes to change into, and came out to see Liu Qingyan handle the ingredients.
The ducks and geese had been killed, a few maids were plucking, and the two chickens were just stunned, and they had already come to their senses.
"Break the chicken's neck." Liu Qingyan ordered someone.
"I knew I would be killed." Shi Hengyu secretly finished slandering himself, and twisted the chicken woman twice with a "click", which was clean and neat, and the chicken didn't crow.
"Make an opening under the chicken's butt and pull out the internal organs."
"Aren't all chickens plucked first?" Zhu Honglin hesitated to ask a question.
"To be called a flower chicken, you don't need to pluck your feathers."
Liu Qingyan finished answering, and she had already pulled out the dagger and disemboweled the chicken, without any suspicion.
Next, the group waited for Liu Qingyan to stuff some messy seasonings into the belly of the chicken, then wrapped it in a thick layer of yellow mud, then wrapped it in lotus leaves, tied it tightly with palm leaves, and finally told them to dig a shallow pit outside.
Several men acted according to their words with a suspicious attitude, and the women watched with interest.
After the pit was dug, Liu Qingyan put the chickens into the pit and filled it with soil, let them make a fire on it, and went back to the stove room to deal with other ingredients.
In early summer, several men began to meditate on a fire, and the onlookers dispersed.
In the middle of the meditation process, the men's stomachs were rumbling with hunger, but Liu Qingyan brought a big goose that was only worn with a wooden stick and told him not to burn it.
As a result, Samzen turned to roast goose.
The sun was shining in the sky, and my stomach was growling.
The few in charge of roasting the goose stared at a half-cooked goose and drooled.
Liu Qingyan came out with a pot of cucumbers and a small bowl of sesame oil, "I know that you are hungry, eat a cucumber first to cushion your stomach." Then he looked at the goose, brushed an even layer of sesame oil on it, and said, "Brush it twice like me, and roast it for another two quarters of an hour to eat." ”
"I'll brush, I'll brush." forced Wang Xiaoer to swallow a mouthful of saliva hard, and rushed to do the work of oiling the goose.
A few sons each had a cucumber in their hands and "clicked" and gnawed it.
The skin of the goose gradually turns golden red, and the fragrance escapes with the air, and the dripping grease drips onto the fire, making a sizzling sound.
The few people who had just nibbled on cucumbers were even hungrier.
"Can't you eat it yet?"
"I think I can eat it."
"I think it's almost there."
"Why hasn't my sister come out yet?"
After a long wait, Liu Qingyan finally came out, looked at the goose and shook her head and said, "Your roast goose skills are too poor, and you can barely eat it." ”
The crowd fell on their backs.
"Turn off the heat, dig out the chicken and bring it in for me." Liu Qingyan took the roasted goose and went in first.
Vermicelli duck soup, called flower chicken, crispy roast goose, cold cucumber, eggplant beans, braised winter melon, cold melon omelette, skillfully cooked six dishes and one soup, local materials, pure farmhouse flavor.
I don't pay attention to so many rules outside, the masters have a table, the maids have a table, and the dishes are the same.
After climbing the mountain and coming down to work, and the normal meal time has long passed, the young ladies are very happy and satisfied.
Because they also participated in the cooking of this meal, they were full of accomplishment.
Eat and drink to your heart's content, and sit and chat casually in the living room of the annex.
Liu Qingyan smiled and narrowed her eyes and asked, "Is today's food delicious?" ”
All the young ladies said in unison, "It's delicious." ”
"Is a day trip to a farmhouse fun?"
"It's fun."
"Then let's talk about the investment share."
……
The ladies and gentlemen fell to the ground again.
"What you experience today is just the lowest grade farmhouse. The farmhouse I am going to create is countless times higher, the architectural style of the house is divided into multiple themes, the amusement facilities are more complete, there are more projects, there are children's playgrounds, bonfires, outdoor barbecues, ......"
Liu Qingyan then sprinkled and gushed endlessly, and delivered a half-hour-long fundraising speech.
When the ladies heard so many new words, they were very interested and asked for details.
Liu Qingyan also gave a detailed answer.
