peasant ugly daughter-in-law

Chapter 37

man?

Ye Qingqing was taken aback, she looked at the neck of the person in the painting in disbelief, "She obviously doesn't have..." There is no Adam's apple.

Li Rui smiled knowingly, "I was negligent. I kept hesitating about his clothes. Qi's traditional clothes have a high collar, so I didn't rush to draw his Adam's apple."

He put down his pen, and he had no intention of continuing to paint, "When I was very young, my father was still alive at that time, and a grand uncle came to the house as a guest and brought a portrait of this man. I thought he was a woman at one time, but I didn't think it was a big mistake. Wrong, so I have a deep impression on him. Everyone has a love of beauty, I think this painting should be easy to sell, so I will paint it today."

Ye Qingqing nodded and said: "It turns out that he is really a man..."

Although Li Rui's father and her father-in-law, Li Wenchang, was a rank nine official when he was alive, he had at least worked in the capital, and it was normal to get the portrait of "the most beautiful in Qi".

I never thought that Ye Qingqing's sudden appearance interrupted Li Rui's painting, so that this "first beauty" was not finished for a long time, until Ye Qingqing knew the true identity of the person in the painting, then Li Rui didn't This painting is finished.

The fifteenth day of the lunar month is approaching, and Ye Qingqing spends most of her time reading medical books. She doesn't expect to be able to prescribe the right medicine for a catastrophe or serious illness. Rui intended that the two of them practice calligraphy together so that she could learn how to read, but Ye Qingqing sneered and changed the subject twice. She only wanted to learn how to read, and the practice of calligraphy was ignored. Let her, a modern literati, hold a writing brush when she has free time. Practice calligraphy to cultivate sentiment.

The next morning, Ye Qingqing got up early and made breakfast. The ingredients were the herring caught before. Herring is the most common edible sea fish, and it is an oily fish. It can be pickled or smoked.

Ye Qingqing took out the thick wooden barrel containing the fish from the well to take the herring, disemboweled the belly, deboned and cut the fish, all the actions were done in one go, and then chopped the fish meat into mud, mixed with a little salt, egg white, and starch, and moved clockwise with hands Swirl until it becomes sticky, then put it into the noodle-pressing mold, squeeze it into the hot water in the pot, and cook slowly until the noodle thread turns translucent white.

The final soup is made from the fish heads and bones removed from the herring, add a small amount of rice wine, ginger slices, and salt, put the cooked fish noodles in ginger water once, pour the soup after filtering the water, and sprinkle with a small amount of green onion , and with a few overheated rapeseed, the fish noodles in clear soup will be fragrant.

Ye Qingqing fanned the smell of the fish noodles towards her, her eyes lit up, expressing that she was quite satisfied with the fish noodles, the food, the clear sky, it was a good start to a new day.

She knocked on the door of Li Rui's room, "Get up, Li Rui. Wash up and have fish noodles to eat."

There was no response for a long time, no one was there?

"plum……"

Just as Ye Qingqing wanted to confirm again, she heard Li Rui's voice behind her.

"My lady." Li Rui came over, holding a wooden basin for washing his face in his hand, and the towel was already soaked by the edge of the wooden basin, so he should have just finished washing.

Ye Qingqing turned around to look, why was there no movement?She thought Li Rui had been sleeping in the room the whole time.

Li Rui saw Ye Qingqing's doubts, smiled slightly, put the things back in the room first, and then said: "When I woke up, you were in the kitchen. I saw that you were very attentive, as if you were cooking fish, so I didn't bother you." He lightly Sniffing lightly, "It smells so good, is it fish soup?"

Ye Qingqing nodded, complaining that she didn't hear Li Rui leave the room, but she has always been like this. Standing in front of the stove, she will devote herself wholeheartedly, doing and loving her, in order to live up to the ingredients and achieve the best taste of the food.

She urged: "It's fish noodles, go and taste how it tastes."

Ye Qingqing went to the county seat early so that she wouldn't be able to do anything all day when she arrived at noon. Li Rui would do the washing up after dinner, and she ordered a few words to leave the house.

Rest less and walk more, Ye Qingqing went straight to Wang Tiejiang when he arrived at the county seat without taking a rest.

There are all kinds of weapons lined up in the store, each of which has been carefully polished and the price is reasonable. It is the most popular century-old brand in the vicinity. Standing in the front hall, you can hear the clanging of irons in the backyard.

Ye Qingqing scanned around but couldn't find Blacksmith Wang, asked the staff in the shop and learned that Blacksmith Wang was meeting customers in the inner hall, so she sat aside and looked around while waiting, when she suddenly heard a voice that seemed familiar.

"Master Wang, do you think my sincerity is not enough?" said a humble and polite male voice.

"This... Shopkeeper Bai, don't embarrass me. The customer will come to pick up the goods today. Are you asking the old man not to keep me late?"

Ye Qingqing in the outer hall couldn't help listening a few more words, shopkeeper Bai?Could it be the one from Fu Hai Building?

As she listened, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. This Bai Qianhe was clearly planning on her customized universal knife!
Ye Qingqing couldn't sit still, she ran into the inner hall following the sound source, and saw Wang Tiejiang with an embarrassed face and Bai Qianhe in a brocade robe standing at the entrance of the corridor, she took the initiative to say hello, "Master Wang, I Is your knife ready? I have all the money ready, don't let me down!" She shook the purse in her hand.

When Blacksmith Wang saw the savior appearing, the sorrow on his face disappeared, and he walked to Ye Qingqing's side in two steps, "Of course it's done, Miss Ye, I'll get it for you, wait a moment." Don't look at Bai Chizuru's reaction was that she ran away after speaking.

Ye Qingqing and Bai Qianhe were the only ones in the corridor accompanied by clanging sounds.

"You came up with that strange knife?" Bai Qianhe asked curiously.

Ye Qingqing replied nonchalantly, "Is there a problem? Shopkeeper Bai." There was no reason for her attitude. Although she had an unpleasant first acquaintance with Bai Qianhe, that kind of benign competition If Bai Qianhe is brooding, it will appear that he, the master of the first floor, is too small-minded.

She glanced lightly, just in time to see the small abacus in Bai Qianhe's right hand. As expected, there is no business or adultery, and she always calculates wherever she goes.

After getting the answer, Bai Qianhe's eyes flashed with surprise, and he said modestly and politely: "I wonder if Madam Sister-in-law can give me this knife? As for the money, Madam Sister-in-law can just mention it."

"Treasurer Bai is Treasurer Bai, so it must be generous." Ye Qingqing was full of expectations at first, but then he looked regretful, "It's a pity that this is the blueprint of a family heirloom. Forgive me for not being able to do what Shopkeeper Bai wants."

Ye Qingqing resolutely refused, and Bai Qianhe didn't pester her anymore, but after she finished the deal with Blacksmith Wang, she suddenly asked, "Mrs. Mrs. Li is married to Brother Li? Why does Master Wang call Mrs. Mrs. Ye 'Miss Ye'?"

Hearing this, Ye Qingqing rolled her eyes helplessly, is this kind of problem still a problem?She didn't turn around and continue to walk out. Out of basic courtesy, she still replied: "The sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes don't care about trivial matters, and they are called the same."

Until she was about to disappear from Bai Qianhe's line of sight, his noncommittal words floated behind him, "Really?" in a light tone.

Ye Qingqing paused slightly. Could it be that he didn't agree with this reason, and would sue Li Rui?
