Outsiders of Mianjia Dyeing Workshop

When the eldest princess returned to the guest house, she ordered Yu Yi and the others to put on the forbidden spirit rings for several monks, and put them under custody in a room, euphemistically called a guardian.Then the Eldest Princess wrote a few greeting cards that were neither humble nor overbearing, and asked Jin Wei to send them to the sects reported by the monks.

Because of sending greetings, eight of the twenty golden guards went out at once, and only twelve were left to guard the eldest princess. The number of manpower became smaller, so fearing that something might happen, he asked the eldest princess for instructions: "His Royal Highness ,The golden light of morality has come out twice in a row. It is not very safe here. There must be other monks coming. Your Highness is in the destiny of the country and cannot be in danger. Would you please return to Beijing first. Or ask the minister to mobilize some more people?"

The eldest princess looked up at the direction of the inner courtyard, and said to Yu Yi, "Safe? Yu Yi, do you think it's necessary? After all, she's here!"

Yu Yi looked at the look of the eldest princess, and naturally understood the meaning of the eldest princess: "But Your Highness, will the one who just appeared will appear again? Then, the Marquis of Suilin County, has he been taken away?"

The eldest princess waved her hand: "I don't know if I will show up or not! I think it has some origins. However, no matter what the situation is, we can't intervene! We don't have much to say about this matter! Send someone to report this matter." Put the sealed letter in the hands of the sage, and say urgent report, and ask the sender to go and return quickly. If the sage asks, just talk about the grain problem here, and don’t say anything else! If the sage asks about the itinerary, Just say that I will return to Beijing as soon as possible after finishing my work here."

After hearing this, Yu Yi hurriedly agreed, leaving the eldest princess to take a nap by herself, after all, she was very tired after traveling all night.But the eldest princess lying on the couch recalled those complicated and unspeakable eyes from time to time, and although she was sleepy, she couldn't sleep because the eldest princess had a sense of sadness in her heart that she couldn't express.

In summer, the cicadas are chirping on the branches of the sycamore tree in the courtyard, adding a touch of irritability to those who are worried.The villagers also hid under the shade of the trees to enjoy the cool and rest when the sun was high. Only a few hard-working people were still working in the fields wearing bamboo hats, especially the villagers who had just naturalized, who were the most diligent in digging the ground. , One drop of sweat, one point of harvest, their fields are turned over much faster than others.

Xiaoqiu'er ran all the way and let out loud little butts, like a series of bursting firecrackers behind her, non-stop popping, which attracted a lot of laughter from adults and children!In fact, it's not just Xiaoqiu'er who is like this, other middle-aged and middle-aged adults have this situation, most of them are newly naturalized villagers.Because there is no food in stock, what I ate before was a big pot of rice. As a result, when the new food came out, the food was divided and the fire started. Sweet potatoes became the staple food. If there is too much gas, the air will be released naturally, so when digging the ground, I watch adults and children making small jokes.

Although it is indecent, it is rare for new villagers to be happy and full. This is a small pleasure.Even some villagers are still happy, which means that the big guys have finally come out of the shadow of the disaster and can have enough food.

Qiu'er's mother caught Qiu'er who was running around, took him by the hand and sat together under the big tree beside the barren field to hide from the shade. She nodded Qiu'er on the forehead: "You skinny monkey, if your skin burns in the sun , don’t cry for me and your grandpa.”

Qiu'er sticks out her tongue, and hastily sat down after hearing this.

"Mother, I don't want my skin to explode." When Qiu'er and the others were fleeing famine, due to the hot weather and lack of water, the leaves and bark that could be eaten on the road were all removed, causing many people to explode. It was very scary. After listening to his mother's warning, Qiu'er remembered those things, so she was very obedient, even Huan Shi'er, who was still running beside, hurriedly gathered under the big tree on the ground after hearing this.

"Adi's family, your Adi's body is just right, so don't fight so hard? What if there is something wrong?" said the big fat aunt who followed Adi and the others to flee famine.Although the person is called Big Fat Aunt, she is actually black and thin. If she hadn’t been supplemented by the food in Suilin Village in the past two days, she would have been a human-shaped skeleton. Now I can see that there is some flesh under the skin, and the hair is still a little yellow.

"Big fat aunt, I also persuaded the head of the house, but he didn't listen, he just wanted to take advantage of the weather to open up more land, I have a lot of families, and I heard from the old people in the village that the winter here is very cold here, and there are old people in my house. I have a baby, if I don’t have enough to eat, I’m afraid I won’t be able to bear it.” Qiu Erniang replied the words of the fat aunt.

Before everyone could finish speaking, they saw Xiao Lu walking over from a distance.

The older one stood up and greeted: "Second butler, why are you here in such hot weather? What's the matter?"

Xiaolu wiped the sweat off his brow and fanned the wind: "Which one of you has the skill of catching cicadas?"

The boys and girls all raised their hands high, the escape along the way has trained them to fly around the world in search of food, and catching cicadas is also a good skill.

"Second steward, the boys in my family are all good, what's the matter? Second steward, if you need it, just order it." An old man said.

Xiaolu nodded: "Then tell me what you need. The cicadas in the inner courtyard really disturb the nobles' rest, so I ask you to catch the cicadas, but you can't make a big noise!"

Xiao Juo, who was half a child, patted his chest and said to Xiaolu, "Second housekeeper, please watch! We must not surprise the nobleman."

Xiaolu nodded, picked out a few tall ones, and went to Mianfu.

Qiu'er looked envious: "Mother, I want to grow taller quickly, and I can catch it too!"

Qiu'er Niang touched Qiu'er's head: "Okay, eat more sweet potatoes, we Qiu'er will definitely be as tall as your little brother."

Big Fat Aunt looked at Xiao Zhuo and the others who had gone away and shed tears for a while. If her eldest son survived, he could go to work in the Hou Mansion, not to mention why Big Fat Aunt and the others were discussing the present and the past.Mianli looked at the small road leading people to rush to catch the cicadas on the trees in the inner courtyard first, because they were there, but Buqi couldn't sleep. In the situation of fighting against etiquette, I didn't dare to mobilize the special ability for a while, so I thought of a stupid way to catch them manually, which happened to be able to benefit the new villagers.

Those half-children used to use sticky branches and leaves to stick cicadas on the road, but now there is flour in Mianli Mansion, and they use paste to stick them directly. Sticking a wooden barrel full, looking at the fat cicada, some saliva secreted in Mianli.

She waved to Xiaolu: "Go, give each of the boys two coppers."

The half-children wanted to cheer after hearing this, but fortunately, remembering Xiaolu's explanation, they all covered their mouths and noses excitedly, saluted Mianli, and Xiaolu was about to take these boys away.

As a result, Xiao Jue came out: "Master Hou, can you take the paste away?"

Listening to Xiaoju's words, Mianli sized up the kid: "Okay, take it away! If you catch a cicada, you can bring it to the mansion to exchange for money, just find a small road." Mianli pointed to the small road.

When Xiao Lu heard this, he quickly responded: "Okay, little boys, hurry up and go out, don't disturb the nobleman's rest."

Mianli listened and shook her head: "Okay, let's go." Then he directed the servants to carry the bucket and walk to the kitchen.

As a result, I looked at the stone mill and two craftsmen.

"Why haven't you gone to rest?" Mianli looked at the two and asked.

The stonemason grinned: "Master Hou, our mansion is so big, I want to make a few more to be enough."

The carpenter had a clumsy mouth and nodded beside him.

Mianli looked at the oil spill that had already formed, and then patted his head, how could he forget something important.

Then Mianli didn't care about the heat, and started to find the cook and the strong servants to squeeze the oil together.

The big frying pan used to fry soybeans is just right. Fry the soybeans until they are half-ripe, and then put the soybeans, which are half-ripe, into a press made by a carpenter, and put large stones on it, which are chiseled by a mason. Insert two wrist-thick wooden sticks into the holes where the wooden sticks are placed, and the physical pressing begins. Slowly, the oil and water come out from the holes left in the press, and let the cooks and servants watching They were all very surprised that these were all Mian family's children, and no news leaked out.

Seeing the hair oil come out, Mianli was very happy.Although you can smell a beany smell from a distance, the servants and cooks are very happy. The sesame oil they use is very expensive. The daily civilians are boiled vegetables and put some bones. It's meaty.Therefore, fat meat is much more expensive than lean meat in butcher shops, and there is no saying that ribs are sold separately.

When the crude oil comes out, it is filtered through a small sieve made by a carpenter. The crude oil gradually turns black, and gradually turns gray. Large impurities are filtered out. Although the color is not very good-looking, it is full-bodied. The aroma made everyone feel itchy.

"Okay, let the rest rest in the bucket for a while." Mian Lirang put the full bucket aside, and the servants who had learned other procedures were busy in an orderly manner.

Mianli pointed to the wooden barrel that was put aside. It would be good to separate the oil and water at that time. Some impurities sank to the bottom and had to be filtered twice.Listening to Mianli's instructions, some careful cooks took over the last two procedures. Except for the soaked soybeans used to make tofu, the other soybeans were squeezed into oil.

Waiting for Mianli to come out after warming the book in the study room, the cooks have already divided the soybean oil that has been filtered several times into crock pots, looking at the soybean oil that is not very bright in color, Mianli nodded, that is basically the case , because there is no separator, many impurities are still not separated, but it can be used for food and cooking.

It was packed before, and the marinated cicadas rolled a few times in the boiling soybean oil pan, and the shell became crispy.After Mianli packed up, she asked her to pack a few dishes and send them to the eldest princess, and she took two dishes to see Buqi. She didn't know why, but she always had expectations and apprehensions, which shouldn't happen in The emotions on his body occupied Mianli's heart all afternoon.
