peasant ugly daughter-in-law

Chapter 38: A Journey to the Yemo Mansion on a Full Moon

After leaving the blacksmith shop, Ye Qingqing immediately took out the universal knife from her bosom and looked at it carefully. Although it was not as perfect as modern ones, it was exquisitely crafted, and it was a treasure that suited her heart.

She turned into the alley, and there were no passers-by, so she took out three blades from the knife box at ease, one for processing fish, one for carving dishes, the last one for daily tools, and a thin blade similar to a steel needle. Things in case of emergency.

Ye Qingqing gently ran across the blade with her fingertips, feeling its sharpness, then put the blade back into the knife case, and weighed it. Compared with the Swiss Army Knife, it is much lighter. She undoubtedly carried it with her, 25 taels The price is worth it!

With not much money on her, Ye Qingqing bought a piece of lake blue cloth, went to Yujia Pavilion to find Aunt Hua, and asked her when she wanted mushroom sauce for next month, but when she arrived at Yujia Pavilion, she was surprised by an announcement at the door.

Aunt Hua wants to sell Yujiage?
Ye Qingqing hurriedly asked Aunt Hua to ask the reason, but the waiter said that Aunt Hua was still at home, and heard that her son and daughter-in-law had come to see her. Hearing this, Ye Qingqing was sure that it was a fact that Aunt Hua changed hands to Yujia Pavilion, and it was probably because of her son.

Ye Qingqing had no choice but to ask the waiter in the shop to bring a message to Aunt Hua, and she was waiting for her to discuss matters in Yujia Pavilion.

Since Mrs. Hua is enjoying the joy of reunion with her son at home, even if Ye Qingqing knows where Mrs. Hua lives, how can she, an outsider, come to disturb her?I can only ask my second brother to pass on the message.

"Qingqing." About two quarters of an hour later, Aunt Hua appeared in the Yujia Pavilion, her smile was bright, and the brows showed that satisfied sense of happiness.

Ye Qingqing turned around, and saw the happy Aunt Hua and the gentle young woman behind her walking towards the door.

Sure enough, a few years ago, Mrs. Hua's son went to do business outside the Great Wall. Now that the business has grown and he is well-known in the local area, he married a wife, so he came here to take Mrs. Hua to enjoy the blessings outside the Great Wall.

The time is set in three months, and Mrs. Mushroom Sauce Hua can only ask for three installments.

In fact, Ye Qingqing is more concerned about the price of Yujia Pavilion. Yujia Pavilion is located in a good location and there are many people. The price for outsiders is 1000 taels of silver. She sees that Ye Qingqing is interested and promises that Qingqing only needs 800 taels.

However, Ye Qingqing was shy in her pocket, although she wanted it but couldn't afford it, how could she surrender to fate?So I begged Mrs. Hua to reply to other buyers in two months, and she would try her best during this time!
Back home, Ye Qingqing found that the yard had been cleaned and the small vegetable garden had just been watered. She thought it was Li Rui who did it, but in fact it was someone else.

"Welcome young lady home, young lady is fortunate!"

Xiao Wu, who appeared at an unknown time, bowed deeply to Ye Qingqing. Before Ye Qingqing could recover, he took the initiative to take the big and small bags from her, and put the things in the kitchen and Li Rui's bag in an orderly manner. s room.

"You are...Little Five?" Ye Qingqing couldn't believe her eyes.

She looked Xiao Wu up and down, wishing to grow taller and round her face, the food in Mo Mansion should be good, right?Full of energy, it seems that he has fully recovered.

"Young Madam, don't you remember Xiao Wu? Xiao Wu is so sad." Xiao Wu said aggrievedly with his eyes downcast, his voice sounded like weeping. At this time, he was more angry than before, just like other children of the same age. Can act like a spoiled child, show off her face and laugh wildly.

"No! Welcome home!"

Ye Qingqing quickly explained, but she was still doubtful, are you sure this is Xiao Wu?Instead of Xiao Wu's long-lost twin brother?

Xiao Wu's personality has changed drastically, but it's a good thing to be so cheerful, and his work is more neat and straightforward than before, which makes Ye Qingqing amazed again and again, maybe after a life and death, it will really change a person.

That night Ye Qingqing asked Li Rui if he was used to Xiao Wu like this, and his answer was simple, as long as Xiao Wu was alive and happy, nothing else mattered.

Now Xiao Wu is as delicate as a girl in doing things, but he has become stronger, and he will take the initiative to go to the mountains to pick mushrooms alone, no longer shed tears, but grit his teeth and endure to find a solution to the problem.

Every time she felt Li Rui's concern and Xiao Wu's growth, Ye Qingqing's responsibility became stronger, not for the glory and wealth, but only for those she cared about, for those who cared about her, for herself.

Night falls silently.

The disc-like silver moon hangs high in the sky, shedding brilliance, making the seaside fishing village look more hazy and mysterious.

Another... full moon night.

Ye Qingqing went to Mo Mansion alone, while Li Rui and Xiao Wu stayed at home.

Mo Ying remained expressionless as usual, speaking without any ups and downs, cold from the inside out, he was not in a hurry to let Ye Qingqing cook the main meal, but asked her to make some snacks for him to taste.

"If I feel dissatisfied, you leave Mofu immediately. I don't need to waste ingredients or herbs here, especially people who waste my time." Mo Ying sat at the head of the front hall, affectionate and serious, without the slightest intention of joking, As long as the food made by Ye Qingqing makes him frown slightly, Ye Qingqing is definitely at risk of being thrown out of Mo Fu.

"it is good."

Ye Qingqing didn't hesitate at all, the facts are proved by her strength, she doesn't need to argue for herself, she just listened to the implication in Mo Ying's words, the medicinal food she made is for others to eat, who could it be?It was curious, but she didn't have time to think about it. Since entering the kitchen that Mo Ying specially prepared for her, her mind and energy have been devoted to the ingredients and medicinal materials.

Since Mo Ying wanted to test her skills, Ye Qingqing felt that a simple soup and cake would be enough.

Ye Qingqing calmed down and recalled the efficacy of medicinal materials in medical books and some suggestions from Li Rui in her mind. She thought it would be good to make Wushen soup. As the name suggests, Wushen soup has five ingredients: nepeta, perilla, ginger, tea leaves and Brown sugar, nepeta and perilla are the most common medicinal materials. She has seen a lot of them in the courtyard of the Mo Mansion. She even planted a few plants of perilla for seasoning, so it is easy for her as a novice to master the five gods. soup.

Pick fresh nepeta and perilla, wash them, add water fish tea leaves and ginger, boil them in a pot over low heat, and finally add brown sugar. When the brown sugar melts, it can be served in a pot.

As for pastries, it's even simpler, she doesn't need to read medical books, she knows a thing or two.

Women have zero immunity to desserts, and she is no exception. In her previous life, she often made all kinds of delicious snacks. Once, in order to win the title of her "private kitchen", she launched a free after-dinner dessert - Bazhen Cake According to legend, it is related to Cixi in Qing Dynasty.Lafayette was not feeling well, so he ate this pastry and named it "Bazhen Cake" when he was happy.

Ye Qingqing gathers together Poria cocos, Gorgon seed, lotus seeds, coix seed, yam, lentils, malt, and lotus root starch, and grinds them into fine powder, adds seven liang of sugar, mixes them with water and makes diamond-shaped pieces, puts them in a steamer, and steams them. About a quarter of an hour or so, the pastry curd changes color and is ready to eat.
