Bai Lu likes the atmosphere of the Qin family twisting into a rope to live, and it is full of vitality, at first glance, it is the momentum of the family's prosperity and family rise.

Bai Lu noticed the Qin family earlier than Yao Xianling thought, well, it started with pickled duck eggs.

The Qin family is famous in the township because of the fermented soft cakes, but this is more famous among the ordinary people's homes and the poor, in the aristocratic homes like theirs, there are many foods made of its practical wheat ground into fine flour, such as noodle leaf soup, such as gnocchi soup, such as oil cakes......

One more cookie is not much, and one less cookie is not a lot.

However, soft cakes are softer and easier to restrain themselves, which is very pleasing to the elderly.

Bai Lu's eldest father and eldest mother liked it very much.

Bai Lu was really curious about the Qin family because the Qin family used duck eggs to pay taxes last year.

This is really rare, she has only seen the payment of taxes on grain and livestock, but has never seen the payment of livestock taxes on eggs, and her county commander has agreed.

Oh, Daddy agrees because this duck egg can be eaten marinated and kept in a salt jar for at least a year.

If true, pickled eggs are a good thing.

Bai Lu began to learn how to pickle eggs, and gathered his friends to hold a pickled egg competition to compete with each other to make the eggs more delicious.

Haha, this is much more interesting than who embroidered the flowers.

The income of the officials of the Qin State came from taxes. As far as she knows, until now, among the middle-level and above officials in Liyang, there are 20 raw eggs and 20 pickled eggs distributed as Yulu every month, and for this reason, a lot of food is saved every month.

Being able to save food is one of the meritorious achievements of the county order, and reporting to Xianyang will give you face.

She thought that this rule, as long as the Qin family could still use eggs to pay taxes, should be able to continue.

Then there are the bean sprouts and soy milk, which are said to have come from the people of Saigo Artemisia. There is no solemn publicity, that is, when the women in Artemisia go back to their parents' homes, when they brag with relatives who live in other places, and when they come to the capital to buy and sell, it spreads ten or ten hundred times.

As soon as Bai Lu heard that it was from Xixiang, he immediately asked the people in his family to make it according to the method, well, sure enough, eating and drinking had a different flavor.

Then, there are all kinds of pickled pickles. The name of pickles is also spread from Xixiang, and the method is more complicated than making ferment (xi sour, vinegar), and she eats it with more flavor than fermentation.

This pickle is made by pickling autumn and winter vegetables such as cabbage, radish and aoi. Before pickling, you must first pick a sunny weather, use boiling water to pass the vegetables, the time can not be too long, otherwise the vegetables will be cooked, easy to pickle, the time can not be too short, otherwise the vegetables are still raw and astringent, neither into the taste, the taste is also poor, this is the key to vegetables, it can test whether a person is ingenious.

Also use boiling water to scald the jar of pickles.

It's like, it's a bit of a waste of time.

After the vegetables are done, put them on the basket to dry, and then a layer of green salt, a layer of vegetables and vegetables are stacked up, and after the yard is put on a tank, it is sealed with yellow mud, and when it snows or snows in winter, it can be served out and eaten.

This is a vegetable leaf pickle, and there is a kind of root pickle, which is made of green onions, ginger slices, melon strips, dogwood, boiled soybeans, green salt, etc.

Then, the yogurt and milk were branded, and the father asked people to ask, what did she think of the little gentleman of the Qin family? Did she fancy it?

How is the little gentleman of the Qin family, she didn't pay much attention, she just glanced at it, and left the impression of a well-behaved young man and passed, but it was Aunt Qin, through the pane, she took a good look.

This is a sensible old woman, who sits with a straight waist, her hair is meticulously combed, and she speaks in a clear and unhurried manner.

But her eyes are not cloudy, her eyes are clear, and she looks at her grandson with an extremely kind expression. She was followed by an old man with a white beard, who looked like an old servant who had accumulated years, and he spoke with great weight, knew etiquette, and could speak well.

At first glance, it is a very well-established family.

Say yes or no?

Promise, why not? Even if the Qin family's background is thinner now, she can quickly accumulate a lot of wealth if she marries and has the Yao family's connections in Duyi.

The woman of the Qin family is in charge of the family, and in the future, she should also be able to be in charge of the family and hold the power, which is enough.

She deliberately showed that the two aunts of the Qin family were very satisfied with her, and her future husband should also be very satisfied with her.

No, as soon as there was a new food on the Qin family's side, he found an opportunity to visit Baba's door.

Father Yao, Aunt Yao, Mother Yao, and the concubines in the family all came out to greet him, in fact, to see the freshness.

She also brought her two concubines, these two concubines, one from the singer and the other from the dancing girl, were all going to marry into the Qin family with her as concubines.

Bai Lu obviously found that Qin Chuan, who could have been able to deal with it calmly, not only stuttered a little when she appeared, but also her eyes were a little evasive, and her ears were red.

The concubines all snickered.

Yao's mother coughed lightly, glanced at the concubines who were making trouble warningly, and said to Yao's father and Yao's mother: "Uncle Jun, let the children go to play by themselves, and we can't talk to them to go together?" ”

Father Yao "snorted", shook his sleeves and left, but, before leaving, he specially squeezed his eyebrows at Qin Chuan, and the amusing Qin Chuan's eyes blinked, and he walked away in one step, and he was also a very old naughty boy.

Aunt Yao said to Bai Lu's two sisters: "You two, come with me, I have good things for you." ”

Two young girls who were either charming or beautiful responded in a coquettish voice: "Only." ”

The voice is like a yellow warbler out of the valley, the figure is enchanting and colorful, and before leaving, he specially passed in front of Qin Chuan, and looked at Qin Chuan with his eyes.

It's a pity that Qin Chuan lowered his eyebrows and didn't react much to their voices, these two beautiful girls can be regarded as throwing their flattering eyes to the blind man.

Bai Lu pursed her lips and smiled, but Yao's mother glanced at Qin Chuan with satisfaction, and carefully instructed before leaving: "The peach and plum in the yard are blooming, you go with Bai Lu to have a look, and it's not too late to go home after the evening meal." ”

Qin Chuan obediently agreed.

For a while, in the hall, only two teenagers and girls, Qin Chuan and Bai Lu, as well as an old mother and a teenage girl, were left.

The old lady will always follow them, and the little girl will run errands to report the news.

Bai Lu smiled and waited for Qin Chuan to speak.

Qin Chuan raised his eyes to look at her, and with just one glance, his face turned red, and he couldn't remember any of the drafts he had made before he came.

Bai Lu laughed, her eyes narrowed into crescent moons.

Qin Chuan's face turned even redder, and he was at a loss.

Calculated carefully, she was a full fifteen months older than him, more than a year old, and she should be more tolerant.

Bai Lu smiled and asked him, "I heard that you brought me a lot of things, what are they?" ”

Her voice was crisp, her tone was cheerful, and her attitude was friendly and polite, and Qin Chuan's heart settled down at once. Whether a person likes it or not, whether he wants to be friends with you or not, can often be fully expressed with a look and an attitude.

Bai Lu is a good girl, she wants to be good with him.

Qin Chuan froze, and suddenly remembered why he came from today.

He said: "I have made a new kind of food at home, called tofu, and also created a new iron urn, the cooking is delicious, you must not have eaten it, I want to take it, and you have a taste, maybe you will like it?" ”

As he spoke, he took out a small glass bottle, and the colorful bottle contained a transparent liquid, and if you looked closely, you would see that there were dots of oil floating above the liquid.

This is a small bottle of fish that was turned out of the old storehouse, and it was specially used to hold the flower dew for him to give to Bai Lu.

Bai Lu looked at the vial in his hand and asked curiously, "What is this?" ”

Qin Chuan replied with a smile: "This is peach blossom dew." It's the flower dew steamed out of the fish with an iron urn and peach petals yesterday, mellow and pleasant, I will give you a bottle, do you want to try it? Oh, the fish is my little brother, very smart. ”

Something new again?

Bai Lu took the glass bottle, opened the cork, smelled it, and a rich peach blossom fragrance overflowed into the tip of her nose, and she was relaxed.

Bai Lu's eyes lit up: "How to use it?" ”

Qin Chuan made a pouring gesture and said, "Shake the vial, pour out some on the palm of your hand, and then pat it on your cheeks, behind your ears, and on your wrist." ”

Bai Lu's eyes rolled, and he said slyly, "You come to help me." After that, he returned the bottle to Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan even had his neck red this time, and his whole body was about to emit white smoke!

He cautiously went to see the old lady, Bai Lu smiled with great joy, pulled Qin Chuan's sleeve, and ran out of the hall with him like a deer, turning a corner and disappearing.

The old woman who stayed indoors raised her head, helplessly watched the figures of the two young men disappear, and muttered, "What a naughty!" ”
