Chapter 280: Brewing Tea Around the Fireplace
When she arrived at the shop that sold furs, Ma's sister-in-law picked up a few pieces of squirrel skin, and prepared to go home to make clothes.
Worry-free also picked a few pieces of skin.
However, she had never made fur clothes, and she didn't know how to make them, so she was going to pay someone to help make them.
Sister-in-law Ma recommended a woman to Wuwu.
The woman was so good at needlework that she was often asked to make clothes and quilts to earn money to support her family.
Wuwu made an appointment with Sister-in-law Ma, and asked her to help invite people to work at home tomorrow, and by the way, she also invited Sister-in-law Ma to sit at home.
There is nothing to do in Kaifeng Mansion these days, and I am very carefree and idle, and I have time to chat with my sister-in-law.
When she got home, she put the skin away and went to prepare something.
Seeing that winter is about to begin, Carefree plans to get some hot food.
She plans to steam a little cake, get a red date tea, and drink tea and chat with her sister-in-law tomorrow.
After preparing all the ingredients and soaking the glutinous rice, I went to study after eating something without worry.
The next day, Sister-in-law Ma came very early.
She brought in a woman in her thirties, whose maiden name was Zhang, and her mother-in-law's surname was Xu, and people called her Xu's sister-in-law.
Wuwu also shouted: "Sister-in-law of the Xu family, come in quickly." ”
While inviting someone to enter the door, she said apologetically: "I'm very lazy, so I just got up, and I haven't freshened up and eaten." ”
Sister-in-law Ma smiled and waved her hand: "What is this, when my family is at home, I get up early and late." ”
Entering the house like this, Sister-in-law Ma praised with a surprised face: "Your house is well arranged, look at this living like a fairy." ”
The sister-in-law of the Xu family also laughed: "It looks like a fairy." ”
In fact, both of them were particularly shocked in their hearts.
Sanssouci's house was so well decorated, and there were many things they had never seen before.
Sister-in-law Ma said in her heart, obediently, how much is this worth, what is the origin of Sister Ning? I'm afraid that none of the royal princesses have ever lived in a house like hers.
Wuwu invited someone to sit down, turned around and took out the leather he bought, and brought the drawings again.
This is the pattern of the costume she drew last night, and she plans to make two clothes according to this.
The sister-in-law of the Xu family took the drawings and looked at them: "It can be done." ”
Worry-free smiled: "It's good if you can do it, I'll take you to choose the fabric." ”
There is a room on the first floor with a lot of fabrics, all of which were bought in modern times, and the shelves of various materials and colors are full.
After the two sisters-in-law came in, their eyes were not enough.
"God, these materials are so beautiful."
The sister-in-law of the Xu family even said while looking at the materials: "These materials are made into clothes and put on, they really become immortals." ”
Worry-free helped the sister-in-law of the Xu family choose a few pieces of clothing.
The three of them carried the materials into the living room, took out scissors, needles and threads, etc., poured tea, took snacks, and everything was ready, and then took Ma Sister-in-law to the kitchen to steam glutinous rice cakes.
The glutinous rice is soaked, the red dates are pitted and soaked for a long time, as well as red beans, raisins, etc., all on the kitchen countertop.
Wuwu took a large stainless steel pot, put on the steamer, lit the fire and began to lay out layer by layer.
At that time, Sister-in-law Ma didn't say anything, but she was secretly surprised in her heart.
There is no firewood in this kitchen, there is no firewood stove, it looks clean and tidy better than other people's bedrooms, touch those pots and stoves, there is no greasy, bright can shine on people.
When the worry-free fire, Sister-in-law Ma took several steps back in fright.
No flint, no firewood, just directly on the countertop on fire, the fire looks quite big.
Then I heard the sound of the range hood, and I was even more frightened and didn't dare to stay in the kitchen.
Worry-free work is very fast, and after a while, the cake is steamed, and as soon as the lid is covered, he comes out to talk to Sister-in-law Ma.
"The weather is good today, let's go to the sun room to sit down, and save disturbing the sister-in-law of the Xu family."
"Okay." Sister-in-law Ma looked at the kitchen: "What should you do if you forget this fire, something is going to happen." ”
Worry-free smiled: "My stove can be timed, I set the time, and when the time comes, it will cease fire by itself, and it will not hinder." ”
Timing?
Sister-in-law Ma has never heard of it, and she said in her heart that this may be a fairy method.
She just started to feel that this Ning family girl was not ordinary, and she heard her family say that this girl has some means, can see ghosts and gods, can draw talismans and set up formations, and Lord Bao also admires her very much, so she has wondered which one from heaven came down to earth.
Today's look at this idea is even more firm.
Worry-free took Ma sister-in-law to the sun room.
There are some flowers planted here, and a table is set up.
Earlier, I saw that there was a kind of Internet celebrity table for making tea around the hearth, so I bought one and put it here, and now I just use it.
She went over and put charcoal in it to light a fire, covered it with a metal mesh, and put a glass teapot that could withstand high temperatures.
The teapot has long been put in the teapot, red dates and water, and after a while on the fire, it will be opened, and the tea leaves will fly up and down in it, which looks very beautiful.
I took dried sweet potatoes, oranges, and bananas and baked them aside.
She and sister-in-law Ma sat opposite each other, the sun above her head shone through the glass, and there was a warm stove next to her, which made people's bodies warm, and even more people's tendons seemed to be pumped, and they were lazy and didn't want to move.
"Live this kind of day every day, and don't change it for a fairy."
Sister-in-law Ma leaned back on the soft chair and let out a sigh.
Wuwu poured her a cup of tea and sandwiched half a banana: "This tea table is easy to make, sister-in-law can ask someone to help make one, and you can also make a fire when you have nothing to do." ”
Sister-in-law Ma nodded: "It's true, it's cold in winter, and I don't like to move, so it's good to get a tea table to boil tea and bake some refreshments." ”
She lowered her head and took a few sips of tea: "Sister, the water here is good." ”
Worry-free was stunned for a moment, and then thought that the draft in Bianliang City in the Northern Song Dynasty was really a problem.
"Isn't the water bought by my sister-in-law's house bad?" She asked.
Sister-in-law Ma sighed: "I can't say whether it's good or not, it's all picked and sold from outside the city, the water quality is almost the same, it's clean, it's clean, but it's definitely not as good as the water here for my sister." ”
"There are too many people living in the city." Carefree takes the baked oranges and puts them on a plate and peels them slowly.
Bianliang City has too many people, and more than one million people are crowded into this city, and eating, drinking, and Lazar are all problems.
The sewage here is not very good, there are many cases of open defecation, that is, to go to the toilet at home, but also to pour out, there is a toilet at home, for a long time, the sewage will also seep into the ground, the groundwater is polluted.
There are also wells in the city, but the water that comes up is really undrinkable, and people call these wells bitter wells.
There is no way, people who live in the city have to buy drinking water every day.
If you want to solve this problem, you have to lay water and water pipes, but unfortunately, the project is too big, the cost is too high, and the manpower consumed is too much, which is obviously impossible.
