Qin Heyi signed a contract with the town government to contract the back mountain for 70 years. There are two main reasons why the back mountain is there. The home is collectively owned for historical reasons.Qin Heyi's grandfather used to be brooding, but because the policy and family conditions did not allow it, he could only regret it. Qin Heyi did this to fulfill his ancestors' last wish and restore the integrity of the Qin residence.

There are two back hills and the Yudaigou is nearly 3000 square meters, and Qin Heyi spent nearly [-] million yuan. Building walls and repairing the buildings on the back hill required a lot of money. Fortunately, with the support of Tong Xiu, nine more Ge Ding makes money on the Internet day and night, and now there is no shortage of money on hand.Without lack of money, of course, he wanted to be perfect. According to the blueprints handed down by his ancestors, he repaired the back mountain and tried to unify the style of the house. Qin Heyi thought of Master Zhang.

Master Zhang is an expert in repairing old houses. He is well-known in ten miles, eight towns, and even the entire province of G. He has brought out many apprentices to repair some old buildings in the south. The craftsmanship is very good.This is what Qin Heyi learned later. Master Zhang came to repair his old house in person, which really gave Tian a great face, and also expressed his love for the old house.

Master Zhang is over [-] years old, he is a black and thin old man, but his eyes are bright, his voice is loud, his hands and feet are agile, and he walks with wind. He doesn't look like he is about to be old at all. Then let the two of them sit down in the courtyard, and waved their hands to let the disciples bring tea up.

The Zhang family's house is not as old as the Qin family's, but it is also an old house that is counted in the town. It has a large area and is located in the middle of the town. Not far from the door is Jixiang Street, the main street of Baoyue Town. It can be called Baoyue The best location in the town, there are all kinds of food, things to use, and things to play when you step out.The Zhang family also opened a woodware shop outside the house, selling some wood carvings, wooden utensils and furniture.It also opened a school on how to build and repair ancient buildings. Many university professors came to attend the lectures. The professor of the Department of Architecture of Gucheng University is an introductory disciple of Master Zhang.

Master Zhang did not hide his secrets, and took out some skills that could be taught to others. He said that many good things in China disappeared because they were not rumored. He didn't want to bring his skills into the coffin. But there are not many students who really have the spirit of perseverance. It is difficult to accept the life of an apprentice who has not been a teacher for more than ten years in the fast-paced present. Therefore, most of the students in the school are taught for short-term students. Let others learn a little bit, right? .

After learning about Master Zhang's hard work, Qin Heyi admired him very much, and came here today with gratitude and reverence.

Qin Heyi and Tong Xiu did not come here empty-handed, but brought some special products from City B and the ancient books that Qin Heyi specially found in the library at home. The ancient books were collected by the ancestors in ancient times about He re-engraved a single copy of the architecture and brought it to Master Zhang. It is not very useful in his hands and can only be used as a collection. In the hands of Master Zhang, it may shine brightly.

Master Zhang invited the two of them to sit by the flower bed in the courtyard. The flower bed is very beautiful. It is a space separated by glass. There are rockery and strange rocks inside. A pomegranate tree and a few green bamboos are planted. Elegance is the product of using modern technology and traditional skills. It seems that Master Zhang’s grandson studied architecture. Modern architecture should be able to combine ancient skills with modern skills to create better and more buildings.

There is a table and four small chairs on one side of the flower bed. There are chess boards and tea sets on the table. Qin Heyi and Tong Xiu were invited to sit down here. Master Zhang’s disciples brought tea from the inner hall. Tea brewed from tea leaves on the green hills.

The black and skinny old man let them do whatever they want, they can drink as much as they want, and they don’t mind if they don’t drink.

"Your house was renovated and rebuilt by my ancestors, and my family's efforts were indispensable for every subsequent renovation and repair. I love that house no less than you." Qin's old house was owned by an official before buying it. The other courtyard, after being in the hands of the Qin family, has been rebuilt and repaired many times to get what it is now.Master Zhang's craft is an old craft handed down from generation to generation. He has accumulated a wealth of experience, and it is estimated that he has learned a lot from the Qin residence. "You kid hasn't come back for ten years. I feel uncomfortable watching the old house slowly being abandoned. Don't mention it. It really should be beaten. How can the treasure passed down from the ancestors be discarded like a trash? It is the treasure of the Qin family."

"Master Zhang said that I almost lost the most precious thing because of my impulsiveness before. After I came back, I became the most precious person again. I will manage the old house well in the future and won't let it go down."

Master Zhang casually glanced at Tong Xiu who was beside Qin Heyi, and he looked familiar. "It's good like this. Everyone says that the outside world is good, so what's good, it's not my roots, and it's not just duckweed that is drifting outside."

"Well, even if I bought a house, I still feel uneasy."

"Besides, housing prices are so expensive and people live in high-rise buildings. What's the point of having your feet dangling in the air? It's better to be down-to-earth. Having a house, a yard, and land is better than anything else."

"The house prices outside have risen so much that I can't understand it. No matter how much money I earn, I can't keep up with the speed of house price rises. It's better to be in my hometown. I contracted the back mountain. It only cost more than 3000 for such a large place. Ten thousand."

"How much is the price per acre of land contracted?" Master Zhang knew that Qin Heyi had contracted the back mountain behind his house, and the town government had posted a notice for everyone to supervise. If you disagree, you can raise it.Older people in Baoyue Town know that the back mountain was originally the property of the Qin family, but it was collectively owned due to historical reasons.

"One thousand and one, contracted for 70 years, paid in three installments."

"That's not bad, it's cheap."

"Yeah, I felt at ease when I came back from contracting. When grandpa left, I regretted not getting back the mountain back, alas."

Master Zhang sighed, "There is no way, alas, the environment of the times is placed there. Uncle Qin is not easy."

The inheritance of the ancestors has not been preserved completely in the hands of Grandpa Qin, and he is full of guilt and regret when he closes his eyes.The atmosphere was silent for a while, and after a while, Qin Heyi started up again, and he said: "Isn't this the contracted back mountain? I'm going to build a wall around it, and sort out the top of the mountain. There are some old houses inside that probably are all old. It’s no good, I want to rebuild it. After much deliberation, I can only come here to trouble Master Zhang. I wonder if Master Zhang has anyone to recommend? I want to invite more people to fix the fence and clear the back mountain before the Chinese New Year. The houses on the mountain are being built slowly, and it’s easy to work in the cold weather, and we’ll finish them in spring.”

Things like building walls and clearing the back of the mountain don’t require much labor for Master Zhang. Qin Heyi’s visit this time is mainly for the house on the mountain. There are blueprints hidden in the house, and he hopes to roughly restore the drawings. It looks like, this requires Master Zhang to mention a few points from the side.

As a man matures, Master Zhang understood Qin Heyi's intentions as soon as he heard it, "Wait a minute." He called out loudly, "Ah Qiang, A Qiang."

The 30-year-old man who poured water for Qin Heyi and Tong Xiu walked in. He was Master Zhang's third apprentice, and he was from Baoyue Town. Because he was close, he took care of Master from the side.

"Master, what's the matter?" Cai Qiang was short and strong, with a buzzing voice and thick fingers. He looked like a worker.

"I'll find you some work before the Chinese New Year." Pointing to Qin Heyi, "Qin Heyi, the boss of Litang, the two back hills he contracted to be sorted out and built a wall around the hills. People help him with this job, and you can negotiate the price yourself."

"Good master."

"The house on the mountain will be discussed after the spring. I won't look at it myself when I'm old. My apprentice is okay, and he will come when the time comes."

Qin Heyi stood up and shook hands with Cai Qiang, "Just trouble Master Cai."

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, just call me Qiangzi."

After discussing, Cai Qiang decided to start construction the day after tomorrow, because the site is big enough and the walls built are long. Qin Heyi requested that it be consistent with the style of the old house, and all the bricks were used, so some preparations were needed.

After negotiating related matters, Qin Heyi and Tong Xiu were about to leave when Master Zhang suddenly called out, "Xiao Qin, the person next to you is Tong Xiu."

Qin Heyi glanced at Master Zhang calmly, not knowing what the other party meant. "Yes, Master Zhang."

After Master Zhang got the affirmative answer, he immediately beamed with joy, and took out a pen and paper from under the table, "Is it okay to sign it for me? Give it to my little granddaughter. She likes Tong Xiu, and Tong Xiu's posters are posted all over the table. Wait for her When I came back from vacation, I signed her autograph, and I was probably jumping for joy."

How could Tong Xiu refuse the grandpa who was chasing stars for his granddaughter, and immediately signed the autograph and took a photo with Master Zhang. Master Zhang repeatedly said that he was polite and a good boy, which made Qin Heyi jealous.Because Master Zhang has already labeled Qin Heyi as self-willed, leaving the old house alone, not being filial...

After solving a major matter, he felt relieved. When he went back in the afternoon, Qin Heyi dug out the beans he had picked out before, and said to Tong Xiu, "Would you like to grind soybean milk today?"

"I just came back from City B, and I'm too tired from rushing. Uncle Qin, let's take a nap first." Tong Xiu held Qin Heyi's arm and pulled him to Xilanju. It was still early, just after two o'clock , If you still want to grind soy milk after taking a nap, then do it. The task now is to sleep.

Qin Heyi took the initiative instead of being passive, and took the initiative to take Tong Xiu's hand, "Okay, sleep."

"Hey, hey, I'm talking about pure sleep."

Qin Heyi looked at him with an incredulous look on his face, "Of course it was sleeping, you thought about that."

"..." Tong Xiu pinched him angrily, and shouted loudly: "Sleep, sleep, sleep in my study."

"Don't, don't, the concubine's couch in our study is too small to sleep two people, so it's easy to solve it by stacking it together."

Tong Xiu's brain is not suitable for children, he blamed himself for being too open-mouthed in the morning, he literally dug a hole and filled himself in it, let go of Qin Heyi's hand, buried his head and strode inside, He wants Jing Jing, don't ask him who Jing Jing is.

It's already afternoon, and the afternoon nap has turned into an afternoon nap. Of course, it's the kind of pure sleep. As for whether the two of them slept together or Qin Heyi was driven to the study room and couldn't sleep alone, watching him scoop out soybeans, hum You can tell by the way you play the tune.

It’s too late to soak the beans, so I won’t grind the soymilk today, unlike the soymilk machine, which can make soymilk from dried beans, but put the dried beans into the stone mill, only soy flour can come out, it’s not easy to soak the soy flour to cook the soymilk Well, it's not soy milk powder.

After soaking the beans at night, Qin Heyi decided to grind the soybean milk tomorrow.

The next day, the weather was not very good, it was cloudy, and when Qin Heyi woke up for a morning run, there was a light rain, and his hair was wet when he came back from the vegetable market.

After taking a bath, Tong Xiu also started yawning. He stepped on the ground with bare feet and stretched his waist to yawn.

"Morning, old Qin, call me up when you run from now on, and I'll go for a morning run too."

"Are you sure?" Qin Heyi asked uncertainly as he wiped his hair with a towel.

Tong Xiu crossed his hips, "Do you doubt my willpower?"

When Tong Xiu should persevere, he is particularly persistent, able to endure and bear it, just like when filming "Super Long Escape", wearing a thin summer dress and acting in single-digit temperatures, he will not complain about suffering or tiredness, and he will grit his teeth and do his best. good.But those who don't persist are also quite non-persisting. Under Qin Heyi's pampering, they become little slobs, sleeping late, not exercising, and wanting to spend a while in bed when the sun is drying their buttocks.

"I don't doubt you, but Baoyue Town in winter is quite cold. It's cold and wet like a gangrene. The cold wind blows on the face like a knife. I don't exercise enough. I feel that my legs will freeze and break when I walk."

Tong Xiu shivered, "Is it really that cold?" The floor heating and central air-conditioning are turned on indoors, and the upper and lower sides work together to resist the damp and cold outside. Wearing a shirt is enough.

"Open the window and feel it yourself."

Tong Xiu opened the window in disbelief, and was suddenly hit by the cold. He sneezed suddenly, and hurriedly closed the window, "Well, I won't go out for a run. It's okay to exercise in the gym."

Qin Heyi deliberately frightened him. It’s actually not that cold. In Baoyue Town, the temperature is not much below zero. The average temperature in winter is three to five degrees. It’s just because of the lake and the mountains, the air-conditioning can’t get out after it comes in. , It feels like wandering around the Daqing Mountain on the top of the Moon Lake, the wind is frequent, and it is cold and humid.It’s another place with no heating, relying on hand warmers, hot water bottles, and holding your hands between your legs to survive the winter. Generations of people have come here, and they don’t feel particularly cold when they get used to it. Watching the winter in the north on TV The roads are blocked by heavy snow, and I still feel that the north is terribly cold, but I don’t know that people from the north are even less resistant to the cold when they come to the south.

Qin Heyi is fine, he has the foundation from his childhood, and probably has anti-freezing factors in his genes, even if he hasn't come back for ten years, he will get used to it in a few days.Tong Xiu, however, is a native of the north. He spends the winter in the south for the first year, so he should take it easy.

"I've already turned on the floor heating and air conditioner in the gym, you can go now, eat after exercising for an hour, remember to take a shower there before coming back, don't catch a cold."

"Oh~ you planned it beforehand."

Qin Heyi walked up to Tong Xiu and put his arms in his arms, "My little fish needs to adapt to the winter in the south. It will be fine in a year or two. We will live here for a long time, but we will Get used to it as soon as possible."

Tong Xiu leaned his head on Qin Heyi's shoulder, "We will be together forever, okay?"

Qin Heyi tightened his arms to make Tong Xiu stand up straight, and leaned down to truly make "Mommada" into reality, and the entanglement of tongues lasted for a long time.

After panting and leaving, Tong Xiu couldn't help laughing and said, "I haven't brushed my teeth yet."

"It's okay, I don't have a cleanliness."

"We are very compatible, but neither am I." Staring at Qin Heyi's lips, Tong Xiu couldn't help but kiss him again, and now he has changed his initiative.

Still sane, the two young men rolled violently without any firewood, until they reached the point.Qin Heyi went to the morning market alone today, bought fresh vegetables and fish, and made green vegetable and fish wontons in the morning. The big wontons were in the shape of ingots, rolled in the water, and the skin gradually became transparent, revealing the tender green inside. Green vegetables and pink fish come.

Dumplings are filled with heavy stuffing, and wontons are stewed with heavy soup. Like the big wontons that Qin Heyi makes now, he will make a bowl of miso soup and put the cooked wontons in it to eat together.The miso soup does not use miso or soybean paste, but pour oil into the pot and heat it up, pour water and an appropriate amount of fresh soy sauce, and throw in the pre-chopped green onion. After boiling, it will be a bowl of miso soup.

There are many types of soy sauce now, such as dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, fresh soy sauce, etc. Qin Heyi makes the fresh soy sauce from Maoxiangyuan. After cooking the sauce soup, just sprinkle a little salt for seasoning, and no MSG is needed. put.

Qin Heyi's time control was quite good. After putting the last wonton into the bowl, Tong Xiu came back from the exercise, his face was flushed, and his hair was slightly wet. He probably came out without drying himself.

"Why did you come here without drying your hair, don't catch a cold." He said complaining, but in action he thoughtfully took a towel and wiped it.

"I've wiped it off, but I can't dry it off. I'll use a hair dryer next time. I'm so hungry." Tong Xiu clutched his stomach. If he wasn't hungry, he should be able to persist for a while when exercising.

"After cleaning, let's eat first." Today is Tong Xiu's first exercise in a long time, and it's normal to be hungry. "Stew wonton with vegetables and fish, try it and see if you like it."

"Yeah." Tong Xiu had already eaten, and replied vaguely, "I like to eat whatever you do, like wonton stew, you can also eat it steamed."

"There are not many wontons in the soup, and there are still some leftovers that I plan to make wontons in egg dumplings. I will eat some to fill my stomach first."

After eating, we have to go to work. Of course, it is grinding soybean milk. The beans soaked overnight have swelled up, and the plump and round body is full of water. Qin Heyi is carrying a big bucket, and Tong Xiu is carrying a bucket. The little one, the two of them went to the side yard. The stone mill had been cleaned yesterday, and it was enough to splash water when using it today.

"Do you eat so much?"

"Baoyue town makes tofu before the Chinese New Year. You can eat it in the water until the weather gets warmer. You can also make fermented bean curd, dried tofu, fried bean curd, fried tofu, etc. Homemade ones are more delicious than those sold outside."

"There is also tofu nao, which is sweet and delicious."

The dispute about salty and sweet will not happen in this family. Qin Heyi can always make the food extremely delicious, whether it is salty or sweet, it can always satisfy everyone's demand for delicious food.

The bluestone mill is very big. Qin Heyi heard from his grandfather when he was a child that the bluestone mill was there when he was a child, and he doesn't know which elder got it back.The large and heavy stone mill is easy to push, but it is not an easy task to insist on turning it round and round. The milky white slurry flows into the bucket as it turns. When you get close to it, you can smell the thick beans. Maybe it's a psychological effect, maybe it's the result of my own labor, I always feel that the soy milk made by using a stone mill is much more fragrant than that made by a soymilk machine.

"Aren't you tired from doing this?" Jiu Ge Ding stood on top of the stone mill, looking at the two people pushing the stone mill and said.

"What, do you want to help?" Tong Xiu scooped a spoonful of beans into it, and he and Qin Heyi alternated between grinding the mill, which could also save energy, and there was always a price to pay for delicious food.

"Of course not." The Jiugeding tripod flew into the air and landed in front of Qin Heyi, "If you have money, you can make ghosts turn the millstone, so just call a ghost to come up."

Qin Heyi stood up straight, and asked Jiu Ge Ding, "How?"

"Ask me what I'm doing, look for your inheritance, there must be one."

As Jiuge Ding said, Qin Heyi really found relevant content in the inheritance, lit a pile of paper money, and in broad daylight, there was a gloomy wind, which attracted a wisp of gray shadow, and after the gray shadow bowed to Qin Heyi Just start grinding.

If you liberate yourself, you can do more things. After filtering the bean dregs from the ground soy milk, put it into a large pot to boil. There is an old stove in the yard, which is convenient for cooking soy milk after grinding it. It only takes a long time It was unused, the iron pan was rusted, and it took Qin Heyi a lot of effort to clean it out. Another iron pan was broken, so he went to the town to buy a new one.

After the freshly ground soybean milk is boiled, it tastes even more fragrant and thick. Put some sugar in it and drink it. This is a sweet way to eat it.Qin Heyi also prepared salty soy milk. After adjusting the proportion of soy sauce and vinegar, put them into the bottom of the bowl. Put the prepared shrimp skins, seaweed, pickled mustard and chopped green onion into it, and scoop a spoonful of boiling soy milk into it. In the bowl, the soy milk immediately became flocculent. "Do you want to add chili oil or sesame oil?"

"Uh, sesame oil, it's the first time I ate it, and it feels weird." Tong Xiu stuffed a piece of deep-fried dough stick into his mouth. He always felt that salty soy milk was weird, but sweet soy milk was so delicious. How did he invent salty soy milk?

"Okay, I'll fry the fried dough sticks again, and it will be ready soon." The fried dough sticks were also fried in the morning, and they are not crispy enough now. After the oil in the large pot next to it was heated, cut the fried dough sticks into sections Put it in, and it will be more delicious when fried.Qin Heyi took out the deep-fried dough sticks and put them in Tong Xiu's bowl, "Okay, try it, how does it taste?"

Tong Xiu looked at a bowl of flocculent "miso soup", expressed slight suspicion, and took a spoon to dig a spoonful to eat.Qin Heyi yelled, "Don't, if you eat it with a spoon, it looks like a foreigner. You have to drink it along the side of the bowl. Using a spoon will stir up the water, and the taste will be bad."

"Oh, okay." Tong Xiu picked up the bowl and took a sip. How should I put it, the combination of bean flavor, salty flavor, and soy sauce flavor is not bad, but even if I am not used to drinking it, I still feel that sweet soy milk tastes better.Although he is not used to it, it is not bad to drink. Before lunch, Tong Xiu first drank a bowl of salty soy milk to fill his stomach, and then drank a bowl of sweet soy milk as a drink.

Qin Heyi's stewed tofu gradually congeals, and it becomes the tenderest tofu curd. It's just time to add a salted tofu nao as a side dish for lunch. Put a spoonful into the big soup bowl, and the rest are ready to be pressed into tofu. I invited it from the stone mill The ghost had already ground all the beans, and bowed to Qin Heyi, "Hello, my lord, can I have a bowl of soy milk?"

Qin Heyi looked over and saw that the ghost invited this time was a young man under 30 years old. His long hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin, revealing a full forehead and bright eyes. Collared shirt, dressed as an ancient scholar.Looking at it this way, the person invited was still an ancient ghost, didn't he go to reincarnate?

"The soy milk made by the adults is full of aura, and the villain Xiyan wants to ask for a bowl, but if the adults have something to do in the future, call the villain, and the villain will be there at any time."

After dispelling the spiritual power in his eyes, Qin Heyi could see the man's clear face, but Tong Xiu didn't have Qin Heyi's ability, so he could only see a gray shadow floating in the air, bowing to Qin Heyi again Another requested action.And he couldn't hear the man's words, he could only see Qin Heyi's mouth opening and closing.

"What's the matter, old Qin?"

"It's nothing, he is Lin Xiuxi, and he will be an employee of our Litang from now on."

"Huh? Isn't he going to reincarnate?"

Qin Heyi cast his eyes on Lin Xiuxi, Lin Xiuxi understood, and immediately replied: "After death, you have to go to the underworld to get the number to arrange the order of reincarnation. The villain was ignorant at the beginning, and he didn't know how to get the number. After being taken to the underworld, he waited foolishly. I just got the number not long ago, sir, please see, according to this number, as long as the adults are willing, the villain can work for the adults for decades."

"..." That string of Chinese characters is in the billions. Well, there are nine thousand in the universe, so many ghosts are waiting to be reincarnated, and his eyes will be white when he is reincarnated. "As long as I need it, I will call you to come up and help."

"Thank you, my lord." It is also a good job to be a small laborer for the monks in the underworld. With the salary and the benefits of the underworld, he should be able to live a better life.

Qin Heyi scooped a bowl of soy milk for him, added sugar, and asked him to take it home and drink it slowly. This bowl will be dedicated to him in the future, and he will continue to use this bowl for what he wants to eat next time.

"Thank you sir, thank you sir." Holding the soy milk, Lin Xiuxi's eyes were red with excitement. For hundreds of years, he hadn't eaten delicious food. He had no descendants to enshrine, and he didn't have any skills. He could only eat the cheapest God knows how much he missed it.

After Lin Xiuxi left, Qin Heyi told Tong Xiu what had happened, and Tong Xiu didn't know what expression to put on, "Reincarnation is so difficult, there are more people in the underworld, no, no, there are more ghosts. My parents Will it still be there?"

"Maybe they are all there, we can see them by working hard."
