talk about wine

Due to technical and technical problems, the rice cakes made by people in this era are very thick, and they are not soft when eaten without fermentation, so they can only be eaten when they are just out of the pot.

Meng Chuxi didn't even know that she had soaked the rice, and when she saw her take out the stone mill, she was a little taken aback, "What are you going to do, Qingwu?"

Zhou Qingwu felt a little embarrassed when he saw her, but he still glanced at her and gestured: I'll make rice cakes for you.

Thinking of the rice cakes I had just eaten the day before yesterday, I told Zhou Qingwu that I hadn't eaten delicious rice cakes for a long time, and I didn't expect the little girl to remember it in her heart.Meng Chuxi's eyes were soft, and she laughed softly, "Why is Qingwu so good?"

Zhou Qingwu's cheeks were hot and he didn't dare to look at her, but the dimples at the corners of his mouth appeared and disappeared from time to time, which made Meng Chuxi chuckle softly.She sat on the side and helped make rice, Zhou Qingwu rolled up his sleeves and turned the mill basin with a concentrated expression.

The white rice milk flowed out quickly. Meng Chuxi put the rice on while staring at her little girl. The heavy happiness in her heart made her very satisfied.When I came to this place, I met such a wonderful woman. From relying on each other to falling in love with each other, they are souls from two different time and space, but unexpectedly they fit perfectly, which made Meng Chuxi herself unbelievable.

Facing Meng Chuxi's real eyes, Zhou Qingwu rubbed his head again, and it was still very thick when he scooped it up. Zhou Qingwu planned to do it again.

Meng Chuxi wiped the sweat from her forehead with her hand: "I'll come, you take a break."

She couldn't help saying that she took the stone mill and polished it again.Because Meng Chuxi said that the rice cakes had a rough taste, Zhou Qingwu thought about making them once and making them better, and grinding them three times before giving up.

Looking at the sky, it was time to make it now. Zhou Qingwu went to steam rice cakes, while Meng Chuxi prepared chicken soup for the evening.

Take half of the whole chicken and put it in a casserole, add onion, ginger, garlic and shiitake mushrooms and cook slowly.On the other side, Zhou Qingwu was distributing rice cakes on old noodles.Today, there is no yeast powder, it is more time-consuming and laborious to use old noodles to make hair. Pour the washed old noodles into it. In order to speed up the fermentation, Zhou Qingwu soaks it in warm water. After more than an hour, the rice milk has doubled in size. , that's about it.

The rice cakes can be steamed in the pot, and Meng Chuxi's chicken soup is ready.Take out the chicken and only keep the chicken legs and wings, and Meng Chuxi doesn't plan to put the rest in the soup.

Zhou Qingwu didn't know why, so Meng Chuxi explained: "If the chicken is stewed for a long time, it will inevitably taste bad, especially the chicken breast, so I'm going to use it to make shredded chicken, which is much more delicious than eating it directly in the soup."

Zhou Qingwu nodded and helped Meng Chuxi prepare the ingredients for the bamboo fungus and hibiscus soup.This method is very novel. The egg yolk is removed and only the white is steamed. Dictyophora and smoked ham are sliced ​​together, mushroom slices and soaked dried bamboo shoots are added to the pot to taste, and then put into the fragrant chicken soup.After the soup boiled out the deliciousness of the bamboo fungus, Meng Chuxi poured the chicken soup into a big soup bowl, and Zhou Qingwu's saliva secretion accelerated due to the rich aroma.

Seeing her swallow unconsciously, Meng Chuxi smiled, scooped the steamed egg whites in the bowl into thin slices and put them into her soup, "Okay, it's ready to eat. The rice cake should be cooked, you drink it first and I'll get it .”

The rice cakes are steamed very well. Once the pot is opened, the sweet taste lingers, which makes people satisfied.

Meng Chuxi picked up the rice cake and pinched her ears so hot.Seeing this, Zhou Qingwu wanted to help but was stopped by Meng Chuxi. He cut the rice cakes with a knife and served them hot.

Zhou Qingwu pressed the canopy with chopsticks, it was loose and elastic, and he quickly put it on Meng Chuxi, looking at her eagerly.She has been busy for a long time in the afternoon just to let Meng Chuxi eat delicious rice cakes. I don't know if she likes it or not.

The taste of the rice milk that has been ground three times is already very delicate. Although it is not as good as the modern one, it is much better than the ones eaten on the street before. The rice cakes made by the old noodles are a bit sour, but the sugar is added very well. The sour taste can be completely ignored, and the rice cakes just out of the pan are sweet and soft, especially delicious.

Meng Chuxi's expression dispelled Zhou Qingwu's worries, she pursed her lips and smiled, and took a satisfied bite, um, delicious.

"Qingwu's rice cakes are delicious, better than the ones I've eaten before." Meng Chuxi chewed contentedly, and said vaguely, looking like he was in a hurry, which made Zhou Qingwu hard to hide his smile.

Bamboo fungus and hibiscus soup sounds like an exquisite dish. Zhou Qingwu took a sip of the soup first. The soup was extraordinarily delicious. After drinking it, there was a slight aftertaste of sweetness. The soup was thick but not greasy, and the egg whites were smooth and tender.She ate another piece of bamboo fungus, which was quite unexpected. Unlike ordinary mushrooms, the bamboo fungus was particularly crispy and refreshing, and she could even hear the crisp sound when chewing.

The deliciousness of this soup, the saltiness of the ham, the tenderness of the bamboo fungus and bamboo shoots, together with the aroma of the egg, really is the ultimate enjoyment.

Zhou Qingwu didn't care about the heat, so he took another sip of the soup while still sticking out his thumb with his left hand.Meng Chuxi had eaten this dish before, so he learned it on purpose, but at that time, neither chicken nor bamboo fungus could compare to the original taste of this era, and it was more delicious than he remembered after taking a sip.

"Drink more if you like it. Dictyophora can grow for a whole summer. I will accompany you to pick it when you have time. It can be dried together with morels. You can eat it whenever you want."

Zhou Qingwu smiled and narrowed his eyes after hearing this, and nodded, she is so happy.

The two of them sat at the dining table, eating rice cakes and drinking chicken soup with bamboo fungus, and the satisfaction of their appetites made them even more comfortable.Wuwu was lucky enough to share a bowl of light soup, and he barked happily while drinking the soup. Meng Chuxi looked amused, and joked: "Wuwu must be the happiest dog. Bamboo fungus is usually used as a tribute by the queen. A lot of people don’t have the food to enjoy.”

Zhou Qingwu nodded with a smile, but pressed his heart with pain. Meng Chuxi was startled and was about to ask, but Zhou Qingwu gestured with regret on his face: I stepped on three sticks last year.

Meng Chuxi didn't hold back, and burst out laughing.At the end of the smile, she also blinked her eyes and said: "When I was young, I lived in the country with my grandfather. I didn't know that thing, and I stepped on it a lot. When I grew up, I realized that it was bamboo fungus. It is very delicious. I have the same reaction as you now. .”

After talking, the two of them looked at me and looked at you, and both laughed. The laughter in the kitchen in the small courtyard was extraordinarily cheerful, making the quiet evening warm and inexplicably warm.

The next day, the two went to Jinyun Pavilion to work together. After being together with Zhou Qingwu, both of them were used to going to bed early and getting up early, and the two of them woke up when the sky turned pale.One was doing the laundry and the other was cooking, and they cooperated tacitly. After packing up, they went to Jinyun Pavilion.

Every time I go, there are only small stalls selling breakfast food on the street, and the crowds on the street are sparse, but I can feel the signs that the town is starting to wake up, and the streets are bustling along the way.

Open the door and draw the curtain, arrange the cloth and goods, and record the number of goods for this day. The young couple are hardworking and quick.By the time Laflux arrived, the store was almost tidied up.

"Why are you two so early? You cleaned up so well as soon as you arrived, making both of us feel embarrassed." Laifu scratched the back of his head and said to Zhou Qingwu.

Zhou Qingwu shook his head, and looked at Meng Chuxi who was clearing the money on the other side.Meng Chuxi raised her head and said: "We always get up early, anyway, we are free to tidy up earlier, so we can start working directly, it's nothing."

Now Meng Chuxi can do many things in the store by herself. She is a fast learner and the foundation laid by the original owner of the body is good. When it comes to doing business, Meng Chuxi handles it with ease.

As for Zhou Qingwu, even though she was only asked to follow Meng Chuxi, she was with her parents since she was a child, and she knew as much as Lai Fu Lai Lu. She was a little rusty at first, but now she has basically picked it up.Among other things, no one can calculate faster than her except Uncle Zhong.

In the afternoon, the bell tower looked at Zhou Qingwu, who was quickly flipping the abacus with one hand and recording in the account book with a pen in his right hand, stroked his beard and said to the shopkeeper beside him: "This little girl is also a treasure, and she is a good accountant. The abacus was really well done.”

The shopkeeper also laughed: "Yeah, Meng Chuxi brought a good hand, what are your plans?"

Bell Tower gave her a blank look: "Don't really use others for nothing, she has done a lot of things."

The shopkeeper clicked his tongue: "Am I so picky?"

Zhong Lou thought about it, and then discussed with the shopkeeper softly: "You said that it is appropriate for the little girl to go to the cashier to learn from Mr. Feng?"

The shopkeeper was stunned: "Mr. Feng? Can this be done? Even if Mr. Feng accepts it, you have to talk to the big shopkeeper."

Zhong Lou took a sip of tea: "You can give it a try. Mr. Feng is getting older, and it's time to take an apprentice. It's just that Qingwu can't speak. I don't know if Mr. Feng is willing."

The shopkeeper laughed: "Mr. Feng's temper is really big. Chu Xi has seen it before. Even if Mr. Feng agrees, you have to see if Chu Xi, who is such a precious sister, is willing."

"Is she confused? You don't know whether it's good or bad? If you can learn how to keep accounts from Mr. Feng, you will benefit a lot in the future. Besides, Mr. Feng knows more than just keeping accounts."

"I found that you are very kind to other little girls. You didn't get this kind of treatment when you came here."

"Is there someone who is a cute and cute little girl? She is a bitch, and she needs special treatment from me?" Zhong Lou blew his beard and stared, seemingly disgusted, but he couldn't hide his satisfaction in his small expression.He is also old, and he is satisfied if he can teach the young offspring all his skills.

Bell Tower didn't tell Meng Chuxi and the two of them in advance, thinking to discuss with Tong Shuo first and then ask them what they meant.

Zhou Qingwu is always in a particularly good mood when he returns home. Although the two are lovers, no one will care if the girls hold hands. It is extraordinarily happy for Zhou Qingwu to be brought home together in such a fair manner.

Looking at her undiminished dimples along the way, Meng Chuxi couldn't stop smiling. When she got home, Meng Chuxi finally couldn't help it, and asked her with a smile: "Is it so happy when you go home?"

Zhou Qingwu stepped back to enter the door, causing Meng Chuxi to quickly reach out to hold her to prevent her from tripping.

Zhou Qingwu avoided childishly, and gestured to her: Going to work with Chuxi and then going home together, I am very happy.

Meng Chuxi shook her head and laughed, the corners of her mouth were raised high, well, she was also very happy.In Jinyun Pavilion with Zhou Qingwu, Meng Chuxi is actually very happy.Obviously Zhou Qingwu is much younger, but this little girl treats Meng Chuxi very considerately.

As long as she is free, what Meng Chuxi wants to do, she can always prepare what she wants, counting the cloth, recording the account books, summarizing the accounts, and even after a busy day, a cup of tea at the right temperature is all there is.

Because of this matter, Lai Fu Lai Lu is often envious in various ways, and occasionally scolds Meng Chuxi for being harsh on her sister and making the little girl around.

Whenever Zhou Qingwu retorted immediately at this time, thinking of Meng Chuxi's brows and eyes, he felt a little pity in his heart.

She likes Zhou Qingwu's considerate consideration of her in every detail, but she wants her to act like a little girl to her, play willful, and even ask for something.A girl who is too sensible may not be cherished by anyone. Meng Chuxi is very grateful that she likes herself, not because she is good, but at least she knows that she should cherish and celebrate this kind of goodness, instead of treating it as a confident preference.

When Zhou Qingwu was about to fetch water for her to wash her hands, Meng Chuxi took the basin in her hand first, tilted her head and said, "Go and rest, I'll be fine."

Zhou Qingwu wanted to make tea but was blocked by Meng Chuxi. Although Fulailu was a joke, Zhou Qingwu did take care of her too much, and she felt that she should have a good talk with her.

Neither of them was hungry yet. While making dinner, Meng Chuxi poured a cup of tea for Zhou Qingwu, looked at her and said softly: "Qingwu, I know you are very good to me, but there are some things you don't need to do for me So thoughtful."

Zhou Qingwu has always been very sensitive. When Meng Chuxi said this, she immediately thought of the joke about Laifu and the others today. She was a little uneasy, and quickly gestured: I'm sorry, it's not my fault to let them misunderstand, let you...

Before Zhou Qingwu could finish the comparison, Meng Chuxi grabbed her hand, and gave her another mark with a helpless face: "Don't think wildly, let alone talk nonsense."

"I mean, we adore each other, you don't need to take care of me for everything, you and I are girls, I'm glad you want to take care of me, but I also want to take care of you, so, can you give me this chance, Don't you take care of everything by yourself, make me feel like a bastard who bullies my wife."

Zhou Qingwu blushed at the word "daughter-in-law", lowered his head to dodge his embarrassment.After a while, she raised her head with a slight smile on her lips, and gestured to Meng Chuxi: You said that if it was done for me, then washing and cooking would be fine.

She blushed when she mentioned this matter, but continued to compare: those things were done for you, so there is nothing wrong with them.You did a lot of things for me, cooking, washing clothes, everything you can do, you did it for me, you didn't even think about it yourself.

Meng Chuxi was taken aback, and after thinking for a moment, he laughed, and admitted his mistake in a warm voice: "I think too much, but in front of me, Qingwu can still be not so sensible, you know?"

Zhou Qingwu nodded with his eyes burning.
