Chapter 255: Peppermint Balm

I stayed in the workshop for a long time, from cleaning the sugarcane to boiling the sugarcane, Xiao Jiuyue watched Geng's mother do it neatly throughout the whole process, it seems that she doesn't even have to say anything about the step of boiling brown sugar.

Xiao Jiuyue looked at the sugarcane mashing and juicing this step is the most difficult, can you get a tool out?

Xiao Jiuyue returned home, but before she could find Ai Qiushi, she was pulled away by the beautiful lady: "Didn't you say that you would take a day off today?" Why haven't you seen anyone for half a day? ”

"Mother, isn't this a harvest of sugarcane, and you are going to invite everyone to eat sugarcane?" Xiao Jiuyue pulled Su Shi and said, "Mother, I have enough clothes, don't make them for me again!" ”

"You are a girl, how can you have less clothes?" Su Shi looked at Xiao Jiuyue's busy appearance, distressed but didn't know how to help her, she said, "You haven't finished trying the embroidered shoes in the morning." ”

Xiao Jiuyue watched Su come with embroidered shoes, and he didn't even have a reason to refuse, so he simply accompanied Su to try on shoes.

"Fit, sure enough, this osmanthus embroidered shoe is also very good-looking!" Su Shi admired her shoes and said, "I'll embroider a hibiscus flower for you next time." ”

"Mother, you spend so much time on your eyes every day, what if you break your eyes?" Xiao Jiuyue hugged the Su family, she was busy, but the Su family was just as busy, taking care of the Xiao Mansion, she was also going to the embroidery workshop, and she also had to make clothes, shoes and socks for their family, all of which were made by herself!

Su Shi looked at her with a smile, "Don't worry, I still want to see you get married, how can I burn my eyes." ”

When Xiao Jiuyue heard this, she immediately changed the topic and said, "Mother, I'm hungry." ”

After the mother and daughter had lunch together, Su Shi pulled Xiao Jiuyue to take a nap.

The autumn is crisp, the sun is warm but not strong, Su Shi looked at Xiao Jiuyue, who was sleeping sweetly on the soft couch, and looked at her with a little more stupid.

"Ma'am." Mu Hibiscus came in with pear soup, Su immediately made a silent gesture towards Mu Hibiscus, Su walked out cautiously, and said: "Yue'er has been too tired recently, she sleeps late at night, and she doesn't sleep during the day, how can this body and bones be able to eat?" ”

"Hibiscus, simmer this pear soup first, and you can eat it when Yue'er wakes up." Su Shi picked up the sewing basket on the side and began to embroider the upper again, Xiao Jiuyue often goes out, and this shoe needs a few more pairs.

"Yes, ma'am." Mu Hibiscus replied in a very small voice, for fear of waking up Xiao Jiuyue in the house.

Su Shi, who was sitting in the hall with shoes, could see Xiao Jiuyue who was asleep as soon as he raised his eyes, and when he saw that she didn't wake up, he continued to bow his head and take shoes, when Xiao Jiuyue woke up, he saw this scene!

Half of the sunlight poured in, falling on Su Shi's legs, the needle and thread in her hand flew up and down, and the corners of her mouth smiled, softening the years and amazing her heart!

Su Shi raised her eyes and saw Xiao Jiuyue sitting on the soft couch, looking at her stupidly, she couldn't help laughing: "Awake?" I let the hibiscus simmer in the pear soup. ”

Su Shi's voice was gentle, the eyes looking at her were always loving, a sense of happiness surrounded her, and her heart was slightly uneasy, will one day, such happiness will be gone?

Xiao Jiuyue rushed to Su Shi with her shoes on her feet and hugged her: "Mother." ”

Su Shi put away the needle, afraid of pricking her, and said, "What's wrong?" Having a nightmare? ”

"Well, I dreamed that you didn't want me anymore." Xiao Jiuyue sucked the faint fragrance of the beautiful lady's body, and felt a little at ease, for more than a year, she had completely integrated into the Xiao family, but she began to suffer from gains and losses, not like her at all.

"Silly girl, you are the meat that fell from my body, how can I not want you?" Su's words did not comfort Xiao Jiuyue, she, she was like robbing others of their happiness.

"Madam, Miss, the pear soup is here." Mu Hibiscus entered the house with pear soup, and Xiao Jiuyue, who had just suffered from gains and losses, immediately put it on the food.

The pear soup simmered over low heat, in addition to Sydney pears, is also added with red dates, white fungus and wolfberries, which is particularly delicious.

"Mother, the pear soup simmered in hibiscus is really getting better and better." Xiao Jiuyue drank this bowl of soup, only to feel that her whole body was full of hands, and she didn't have the gains and losses just now, she said: "Autumn is coming, is this pear also ripe?" One day, let people make autumn pear paste to moisten the lungs and relieve cough! ”

"If you want to eat, let the kitchen do it." Su Shi looked at her eyebrows and eyes with happiness, and remembered her uneasiness just now, and asked, "Yue'er, has there been something recently?" ”

"It's okay, I'm just having a nightmare." Xiao Jiuyue's eyebrows and eyes were crooked with a smile, and she repeatedly said that she had nothing to do, so she said: "Mother, I still have to go to Ai Qiushi and ask him to get a tool for pounding sugarcane juice." ”

"Mother, I'm done eating, I'll go get busy first." Xiao Jiuyue even drank all the pear and soup clean, and then ran away with her skirt.

When she arrived at Ai Qiushi, Xiao Jiuyue directly expressed her intentions for the future, and Ai Qiushi, who was continuing to improve the threshing machine, listened to her words and thought for a while: "There are such tools for mashing and squeezing sugarcane juice, but I'm not sure if it's good or not!" ”

Ai Qiushi took a cut flower branch, picked off the leaves and drew on the ground, explaining how to mash the sugarcane, how to squeeze the sugarcane juice to the greatest extent, and how to pick up the sugarcane juice.

Xiao Jiuyue listened carefully and made a few suggestions, but she always felt not very satisfied, she began to try to remember, had she studied before?

"Miss, do you want to go to Brother Qiu?" Ai Qiushi suddenly spoke: "Brother Qiu Dong understands this matter quite well, maybe he will have better suggestions?" ”

"It just so happens that I still have some details to tell Brother Qiu about the improvement of the threshing machine." Ai Qiushi smiled embarrassedly and said, "Strive for next year's threshing machine to be more labor-saving, and the threshing will be clean!" ”

"Then you go." Xiao Jiuyue nodded, anyway, she didn't have any better ideas.

Ai Qiushi paused, looked at Lianxin on the side and said, "Miss, can I go today?" ”

"Of course, if you make the juice tools earlier, you can use them in the workshop earlier." Xiao Jiuyue nodded thoughtfully, looking at Lianxin who was blushing on the side, and always felt that something was missing.

In the evening, Xiao Jiuyue understood, and she asked, "Lianxin, are you sick?" Why don't you go to Lang Zhong? ”

Xiao Jiuyue happened to bump into the medicine that Ai Qiushi gave to Lianxin.

"Miss, I really don't have anything to do, it's just that I have some rashes on my body, Mrs. Xin said, just take a bath with mugwort leaf water, I took a shower yesterday, and I'm getting better, who knows, Ai Qiushi went to the county to buy mint cream today!"

Lianxin's face was flushed, when Ai Qiushi went to get the medicine, she was hit by him, she thought Ai Qiushi didn't hear it, who knew that he was silent, so he went to buy mint cream!
