Chapter 28 The New Life
Aunt Wu didn't go home, but went directly to Li Shishi's house.

As soon as she entered the door, she was annoyed.

Li Shishi is feeding chickens and ducklings.

Now that some days have passed, the original chickens and ducks have begun to shed their fluff and grow small wings.

Li Shishi felt good just looking at them.

But after feeling better for a while, I saw Aunt Wu coming in.

She hurriedly greeted him, let him go to the stone table in the yard and asked, "Auntie, what's the matter?"

Aunt Wu glanced at herself angrily, drank the tea brought by Li Shishi in one gulp, and then told Li Shishi the ins and outs of what happened just now.

When Li Shishi heard this, she just smiled and did not speak.

Aunt Wu saw Li Shishi so calm and relaxed, she couldn't control her anger immediately: "You tell me what kind of gossip is spreading outside, you child, you still have the heart to laugh!"

Li Shishi just pursed her lips happily, and then comforted her: "Okay, don't be angry, auntie, I already knew about this. Didn't I mention it to you before, and now most people in the village know about it. Even if I have ten mouths I can't tell, so let them go. It's better to live well than anything else."

Then Li Shishi said again: "Auntie is tired and angry all the way, and I'm afraid she's tired too. It just so happened that I brought you a taste of my new research."

After finishing speaking, she turned around and entered the room, took out the jar of plum wine that was going to be given to Aunt Wu and took a small cup before coming out of the room.

Putting it on the table, she opened the jar, and immediately the fragrance of plums and wine came to her face.

Aunt Wu looked at the jar of wine, and immediately put aside what happened just now, and only focused on the wine.

Li Shishi poured the wine into the glass.

Because it is brewed from plums, the originally clear wine has now turned orange.

Then she handed it to Aunt Wu and said, "Come and try this, don't be angry with them, I have my own solution to this matter."

Aunt Wu took the wine glass, hesitated a little, and asked, "What did you do?"

"Plums, white wine, and maltose."

Aunt Wu nodded, then lowered her head and sniffed, and said, "This wine smells like plums, which is really novel."

As she spoke, she lowered her head and took a sip of her drink.

Then she smacked her lips, reminiscing about the taste just now, but her brows were slightly frowned.

"What's the matter? Is this wine not good?" Li Shishi looked at her expression for a while and really judged whether it was good or not.

After all, I haven't tasted it since it was brewed.

But Aunt Wu didn't speak, she lowered her head and took another sip, and she drank most of it.

Li Shishi was a little nervous standing aside.

Mrs. Wu put down her wine glass and said, "This wine tastes really good. I didn't expect you to make this kind of thing."

After saying this, Li Shishi let out a long breath and instantly relaxed: "I thought there was something wrong with the drinks, it scared me to death."

Aunt Wu stared at the jar of plum wine, and said after a while, "You must have spent a lot of money on this."

"No, it's just the plums and malt sugar you sent earlier. I bought the wine when I first moved here."

Aunt Wu was a little surprised: "That's it? This wine can become sour and sweet, so that people can't taste the original spicy at all."

Li Shishi smiled softly: "I'm just fooling around, I made a mistake and made me do it well."

"You have such a skill, please teach me. Didn't you rent a shop before Tiansheng, and the business has not improved. We have been thinking about some new tricks to attract business."

"That's no problem." Li Shishi said with a smile: "There are no expensive materials in this thing. Except for plums, any seasonal fruit can be made into this kind of fruit wine. Both men and women can drink it."

"Okay, okay, that's really great." Aunt Wu smiled like a flower.

"I really don't know that you, a little lady, don't show off your mountains and dews, but you can still know these things. It really makes my old lady look at me with admiration."

"Don't say that, I'm still not showing off. No one in this village knows about me. I don't know about some things. They know better than me." Li Shishi joked.

Aunt Wu sighed softly when she heard the words, "Look at what you said, you don't know how much of the rumors outside are true or not." Then she paused, approached Li Shishi and asked in a low voice: "What do you think about this matter?" What do you want to do?"

"To untie the bell, you need the person who tied it. To tell you the truth, I plan to let Mrs. Song perform a ritual ceremony for me to silence them."

"What are you doing, doing things? How can this be done? It's not like you don't know Mrs. Song, her mouth is looser than the waist of a cotton trousers."

Li Shishi smiled and said: "It is precisely because of this that I invite her even more. After all, without her, some words cannot be spread. Are you right?"

Aunt Wu thought for a while after hearing the words and then nodded: "Okay, since you have an idea, then you can make up your own mind. If you need anything, just say it."

"Okay, no problem, then I would like to thank my aunt for being here." After saying that, Li Shishi bowed respectfully.

After the two chatted for a while, Aunt Wu went back.

In the afternoon, the salesman delivered the lime as agreed, but he just stayed out of the way and didn't come in.

Li Shishi knew that he must have heard those rumors, and was too frightened to enter.

She didn't say anything, paid the money, and told the shopkeeper to leave.

After carrying the lime into the house, Li Shishi began her work.

Looking at the freshness of duck eggs today, she thought of making preserved eggs with her teacher in modern times.

So I thought about making some to eat by myself according to memory.

Mix the quicklime and water thoroughly according to the proportion, and attach them to the duck eggs one by one.

Find a jar, put it in and bury it in the soil, and you can eat it after a while.

Later, Mrs. Song Liu came over and brought some fried stinky tofu to Li Shishi.

At first, the children thought it smelled bad and dared not eat it, but after seeing Li Shishi eating it with relish, they braved up and tried a piece.

But I didn't expect this hair to be out of control.

Seeing the bottom of a bowl of tofu, Song Liu smiled happily, "It seems that my craft is not bad."

Li Shishi smiled and said: "This is not bad, it's much more delicious than what I made."

Song Liu's face was flushed, and he said: "After you left today, I made some by myself according to the gourd painting. As a result, some people came to buy tofu, so I let them taste it. As a result, they Everyone said it was delicious, and asked me to open a special stall to sell it."

"Before I came to your house, I gave some more to Aunt Wu. After she tasted it, she insisted on learning from me. I said it was taught by you. She was quite surprised and said that you gave her some plums today. Wine. Pour me a glass, and I tasted it very well."

Hearing this, Li Shishi got up and went to the narrow room to take out a small altar, put it in front of Mrs. Song Liu and said, "You take this back and give it to your brother-in-law to taste."

Song Liu took over the wine jar, looked back and forth, with a smile on his face: "He knows what is good, and it would be a waste to drink it for him."

Li Shishi smiled and said: "It's not something expensive, if you want it, I'll brew some more before sending it to you."

"Okay, this small altar is enough for tooth-making sacrifices. But having said that, those who bought tofu today have reminded me." Song Liu put down the altar and said.

"What woke up?" Li Shishi asked.

"Hey." Song Liu sighed: "Now that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, this tofu is still perishable, so I thought about setting up a stall to buy fried stinky tofu, which is also a way. "

Li Shishi smiled and said: "This is a good thing. If you really want to do it, I will also make some dried salted tofu, fermented bean curd and so on. When the time comes, I will teach you together. This can also make more money."
