Hua Biluo carried the food box into the main courtyard, and the door was still closed. Since they were locked up in the study for a while that day, Hua Yaozong has been locking himself in the room for two days and has not come out. Hua Biluo comes to deliver food every day.

Hua Biluo knocked on the door, "Daddy, it's time to eat." ”

She waited at the door for a while, thinking that there would be no response today, but she didn't expect to hear footsteps inside, and soon the door was opened.

Hua Yaozong's beard seemed to be thicker. He took the food box and said, "Girl, go and help me find a knife."

Hua Biluo was stunned: "Daddy, what do you want a knife for?" She had a bad premonition in her heart for no reason. Hua Yaozong's eyes were red, and they were covered with bloodshots, he wanted a knife, it wouldn't be that he couldn't think about it!

Hua Biluo hugged Hua Yaozong, "Daddy, don't think nonsense!" What's the big deal, but don't do anything stupid. We're finally reunited, and we haven't got our wife and sister-in-law back yet, so you can't leave us alone! ”

Hua Yaozong: "......"

"Girl, let go." Hua Yaozong was helpless.

"Don't let go, unless you don't do stupid things!"

"What stupid thing can I do? What could I not think of? Hua Yaozong patted her head, and there was a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.

What could he not think of?

It's just that I feel that the first half of my life has been in vain for decades, and some things haven't been seen clearly by my daughter. After so many years, it is okay to recognize the thief as a father, but he still wants to come back to fulfill his filial piety.

is also, if he wasn't confused, how could he be accused of this crime in vain and let the family suffer with him. The son and daughter almost died, not to mention, the wife and daughter-in-law are afraid that they are also more auspicious.

Hua Yaozong sighed deeply, although so, he had never had the idea of committing suicide.

"Don't worry, I just want a knife to shave this beard." Hua Yaozong explained.

Seeing that his expression was serious and not like a hypocrisy, Hua Biluo was relieved, "Okay, Daddy, you can wait a while." ”

The knife for cutting vegetables in the kitchen is not good, so Hua Biluo ran to find Hua Qingying again, he and Hua Qingyan are studying the koji, and he will go to the wine shop in a few days to see, this koji is indispensable. Hua Qingyan has been busy with the shop recently, and she has forgotten all about the koji, and she remembered it when Hua Qingyan mentioned it.

Hua Biluo said what she meant, and the brother and sister were also stunned, "What does Daddy want a knife for?" And still with a dagger. ”

"Daddy said he was going to cut his beard."

"Cut your beard?" Hua Qingying was stunned and laughed again, "I finally remembered to cut off my beard, and when I found him, I almost didn't recognize my father because of this beard, and I was almost kicked down the mountain by my father." ”

Hua Qingyan thought about that picture and laughed. Although Hua Yaozong in his memory is a military general, he is still neat and tidy, and he has a bit of a cautious taste. Because Mrs. Mei also loves cleanliness, she naturally cleaned up this husband. This is the first time I have seen such a bearded person.

However, Hua Qingying saw Hua Yaozong more often, after all, the two of them spent most of their time in the border barracks. Even if he fought for a month in a row, Hua Yaozong had never been so unkempt. No wonder he didn't recognize it.

Hua Qingyan didn't have a dagger, but Hua Qingyan gave Hua Biluo what she was carrying, "Take it." When I found my father, I asked him if he wanted to be cut, but he refused. At that time, he thought that he still had a crime on his body, and he could cover up a thing or two with this beard, so as not to be recognized by the officials when he crossed the city. ”

This idea is not wrong, Hua Yaozong is also for safety reasons. Fortunately, it was also calm along the way, perhaps because the wanted notice was withdrawn.

When Hua Yaozong came to find it, he was already refreshed, and he changed into Hua Qingyan's neat satin clothes, royal blue Buddha embroidery, and this clean and handsome face, Hua Qingyan instantly understood why her mother was willing to marry a reckless man who was born in the countryside and had never read any books.

"What do you do about koji?"

Hua Yaozong knew that his children were going to do business, but he didn't have those pedantic thoughts that reading was the way out. He felt that whether it was a farmer or a businessman, or someone else who did not commit adultery, he could find the most suitable path for himself.

"Hmm." The brother and sister were so busy that they didn't have time to talk to him.

It is not difficult to say that koji is a good thing, but the key to whether it is good or not depends on the ingredients used and the degree of fermentation. Hua Qingyan used to make fruit wine, but she couldn't use this koji to ferment naturally with fruits, so she was also confused about this. Hua Qingying, this guy can only drink where to understand this, and it is Hua Qingyan who told him that he needed koji to make wine. For a while, the two had a disagreement about what materials to use. If you brew ordinary wine, you can be casual, but they have to fight with the merchant for this wine, and if they spend so much thought, if they lose, they will lose face.

On the table in front of the two of them were sweet potatoes and sorghum brought by the barley from the previous round. Hua Qingyan thought about brewing the purest and strongest sorghum wine, but sorghum wine needs to be distilled, and this set of distillation equipment is a little troublesome, but fortunately, Shen Ming's glass-making technology has been honed well.

"I drank the burnt knife when I was at the border, although it was strong, but the taste was not good, just like its name, it was like a knife cutting the throat." Hua Yaozong said, "I also drank a lot of imperial tribute when I went home during the New Year's Festival, and the taste was smooth but not strong enough. I've heard that it's made of flowers, but I don't know what his koji is made of. ”

Hua Yaozong obviously avoided talking about the merchants, and glanced at Hua Qingyan's face carefully when he spoke. Seeing that his daughter's face was as usual and not affected by a single star, he was relieved. It seems that Hua Qingyan really let go of that business. In fact, he blamed him, he shouldn't have booked this family business with the merchant back then.

Hua Qingyan really didn't think about it so much, and now that she was in front of her, she was afraid that she would be confused, and she didn't remember who this person was.

However, Hua Yaozong's words reminded Hua Qingyan that sorghum wine can be made from sweet potatoes, but they don't have to stick to one kind of wine, one more choice, one more chance of winning, right!

Hundred flowers wine, fruit wine is her strong point!

Now the flowers are blooming one after another, but the fruits have to wait.

Hua Qingyan figured it out, and her brows relaxed, "Daddy, have you ever drunk fruit wine and flower wine?" She turned her head, but her voice fell but she was stunned.

The man in front of him really has an indescribable temperament, obviously a handsome appearance, but he is innocent and gives people a sense of fanaticism. Hua Yaozong loves to laugh, the nasolabial folds are a little deep, but they are not ugly, and there is an indescribable taste.

Hua Qingyan has seen countless kinds of handsome guys, including those who are beautiful and moonlight like Yun Shumo, who are charming and cheap like Jin Nanshu, and who are elegant and light-dusted like Hua Qingying, and even Wei Xiao, Qi Yu and Zhao Yuncheng, can be regarded as handsome guys. But this person is not as trembling as Hua Yaozong, especially his eyes, some of these people have not experienced the vicissitudes of the world.

"What's the girl, look stupid at Daddy?" Hua Yaozong patted Hua Qingyan's head, "That's not good, your father has been trapped by your mother." You, in this life, maybe Daddy thinks about it. ”

Hua Qingyan: "......"

Hua Qingying: "......"

Hua Yaozong, I didn't expect you to be such a marshal! Narcissism that is simply indescribable.

Hua Qingyan turned her head and decided to ignore her family's extremely narcissistic father.

At dinner, Hua Qingyan really made a wine koji and handed it to Hua Qingying, "Brother, you take this first, make wine first, and I'll bring some things to you after the things of my shop are arranged." ”

"Okay." Hua Qingyan didn't understand this, so what Hua Qingyan said was what it was.

"I'll go too!" Hua Yaozong interjected.

"Where are you going?"

"Naturally, I went to see the winemaking." Hua Yaozong was in high spirits. The men in the barracks drink alcohol on weekdays in addition to fighting. Hua Yaozong has a soft spot for wine, but he has never seen winemaking, so he naturally wants to take a look.

Hua Qingyan glanced at him with slanted eyes: "My shop is open, don't you come to help me?"

Hua Yaozong pouted with a little disgust: "I'm not interested in that kind of girl's food." I'll wait until you come up with something more interesting to me than wine. ”

Girl, girl! If you have the ability, don't eat it, not all the snacks after the meal are eaten by you! If you dislike it now, then you'll spit it out!

It's impossible to make Hua Yaozong spit it out, but Hua Qingyan doesn't make snacks anymore, even if she does, it's quantitative, it's just right for the workers to eat, and if there are more, let the workers take them back.

Hua Yaozong ran to the kitchen every time he was hungry these days, but he didn't see a single dim sum. At the beginning, he was still accustomed to it, after all, there are many flower families, and it is not uncommon to eat it. And recently, Hua Qingyan's apprentices have gone to the shops in the town to prepare for the opening. So the two people who make dim sum at home are Hua Qingyan and Hua Biluo. After all, the number of dim sum made by two people is limited.

But it's not right to do this every day!

Hua Yaozong waited in the kitchen early today, watching the girls go in and out, but they served a lot of delicious food. Today, Hua Qingyan made egg waffles, and the kitchen was full of eggs and sweet potatoes. Hua Yaozong sat on the side, swallowing saliva all the time.

But after they divided the others, Hua Yaozong's tragic discovery-

Without!

No, yes!

"I didn't give any of them, you unfilial girl!" Hua Yaozong slapped the table angrily.

Hua Qingyan put the egg waffle into her mouth leisurely, and squinted at him: "Don't you like what the girls eat?" Isn't it considerate that I don't give you food if you don't like it? ”

Hua Yaozong: "......" makes sense, he is speechless.

"But you like it?" Hua Qingyan brought the egg waffle to his mouth, "The last piece, give Daddy a taste of it, right?" ”

Hua Yaozong looked at the small piece of orange-yellow snack on the side of his mouth and twitched the corner of his mouth. He wanted to refuse, but the smell was too much for him to resist. Hua Yaozong's eyes were closed, his heart was horizontal, and he opened his mouth and took Hua Qingyan's hand into his mouth.
