When Liu Shiqing saw Tao Fu leave, Yuan Liuzhen still followed Tao Fu, and said angrily, "Brother Zhen, why do you keep looking at Fu?"

Yuan Liuzhen didn't answer Liu Shiqing's question, but asked Liu Shiqing, "Shiqing, you are an older brother, and you are already an adult. How can you run around by yourself? I remember that Uncle Liu has already arranged a marriage for you? Didn't you come out like this... ..."

Yuan Liuzhen was interrupted by Liu Shiqing before she could finish speaking: "It was a marriage made by my father's wishful thinking, and I don't agree with it. Anyway, the marriage will end sooner or later, so let's treat it as nothing."

Liu Shiqing's complexion became bad while talking, a little uncomfortable, and a little want to cry. He didn't understand why his family couldn't wait to let him marry someone he didn't like when he was just an adult.

Seeing Liu Shiqing like this, Yuan Liuzhen sighed in his heart. He would run away from the Yuan family as soon as he knew that he was the elder brother, just because he was afraid that this would happen. In this era, if you don't want to get married, you can withdraw your marriage, but most of them have to get married if they don't want to.

Seeing that Liu Shiqing was really sad, Yuan Liuzhen comforted her: "I don't want to, just go back and talk to my family, I believe Uncle Liu can understand."

After hearing this, Liu Shiqing wiped her ruddy eyes and said, "Brother Zhen, come back with me and tell my father, okay?"

How could Yuan Liuzhen go back with Liu Shiqing? He is a brother now, and even if he wasn't a brother, he couldn't go back with Liu Shiqing. Liu Shiqing made a marriage arrangement.

"I'm going out to practice, and I won't be back in a short time." Yuan Liuzhen replied.

Liu Shiqing was a little disappointed after hearing this, but didn't say anything more.

Tao Fu had already boiled hot water, poured hot water into the tubs in the two rooms respectively, and poured some well water, adjusted the water temperature and told Liu Shiqing that the water temperature had been adjusted.

Liu Shiqing was really sleepy, knowing that the bath water had been prepared, she told Yuan Liuzhen, went back to the room and closed the doors and windows.

Yuan Liuzhen stood in the yard for a while, and when Tao Fu packed up the stove and came out of the kitchen, she smiled and said to Tao Fu, "Tonight we are going to take a bath in a room."

Tao Fu just smiled after hearing this, and he didn't seem very happy. Seeing Tao Fu's expression, Yuan Liuzhen knew that he had to explain to Tao Fu as soon as possible.

Yuan Liuzhen walked into the room and saw Tao Fu enter the room, she closed the door, pulled Tao Fu to sit down, clasped Tao Fu's hands tightly and said, "Is Fu angry?"

Tao Fu shook his head, he didn't want to say that he was angry, it would make him appear too petty.

Seeing this, Yuan Liuzhen explained: "Shiqing is the elder brother of my father's distant relatives, and we have already made a marriage arrangement..."

Tao Fu turned pale when he heard "the marriage has already been arranged" and interrupted: "Have you ever made an appointment with Zhenzhen?"

"It's not with me." Yuan Liuzhen quickly explained, "It's not with me, and I don't know who. I only heard that a marriage has been made, and it was Uncle Liu who made the decision two years ago."

"Then Shiqing is still looking for you." Tao Fu was relieved after hearing Yuan Liuzhen's words.

"I'll send him back in two days, don't worry." Yuan Liuzhen said with a smile: "Hurry up and take a bath and change clothes, otherwise the water will be cold in a while."

Tao Fu blushed after hearing this, and said unnaturally, "Zhenzhen washes first."

"That's fine, I'll wash it first." Yuan Liuzhen was wondering whether to blatantly show his brother's features when he undressed, but he was just thinking about this question, and deliberately gave Tao Fu the red mole on his chest When he looked in the direction of the man, he found that Tao Fu had his back completely turned to him. He felt a little helpless, so he took off his clothes and went into the bathtub.

When washing in the tub, he stroked his swollen abdomen. The swelled abdomen was not particularly obvious, and the feeling of stroking it was not at all the same as the feeling of flesh after gaining weight.

He didn't wash for too long, worried that the cold water would be bad for his health.

After washing, he walked to the tub, and didn't bother to hide it, but Tao Fu just didn't look in his direction, so he had to wipe off the water and put on loose pajamas.

Putting on his pajamas, he walked up to Tao Fu, startling Tao Fu whose back was turned to him.

"Fu, I've finished washing."

"Okay." Tao Fu raised his eyes and looked at Yuan Liuzhen, his heart beating non-stop. Just now when Yuan Liuzhen undressed and took off his belt, he just glanced at it at the beginning, and his body suddenly became abnormal. He didn't dare to continue looking, so he had to turn around. , to calm himself down, he didn't expect Yuan Liuzhen to wash so fast, he got up when he heard Yuan Liuzhen's voice and hurriedly went to the yard to cool down his abnormal body.

Seeing that Tao Fu went to the yard suddenly, Yuan Liuzhen was a little confused, and felt that Tao Fu was sometimes too shy and conservative, so he had to lie down and think about how to tell Tao Fu that he was his brother.

Not long after, Tao Fu returned to the room, closed the door and began to undress, Tao Fu interrupted Yuan Liuzhen's thoughts.

Yuan Liuzhen didn't have as many worries as Tao Fu. When he saw Tao Fu's perfect figure, he felt hot in his head, and the blood flowed out of his nose, but he couldn't help but look at it.

Maybe it was because his gaze was too obvious, Tao Fu turned his head and saw that he was looking at him, his face became even redder.

Seeing that Tao Fu was a little uncomfortable, Yuan Liuzhen took off his clothes and hurried into the water, and couldn't help but smiled softly.

Tao Fu's washing speed was not fast. Yuan Liuzhen waited for a long time but did not see Tao Fu coming out of the water. Just when he was so sleepy that he was about to fall asleep, Tao Fu came out of the water, wiped his body, and put on his pajamas.

Tao Fu's pajamas were bought by Yuan Liuzhen for Tao Fu that day. The pajamas on both of them were similar in color, and they looked like couples' outfits.

After Tao Fu lay down next to Yuan Liuzhen, Yuan Liuzhen felt more sleepy and woke up. She put one hand on Tao Fu's chest, put her head next to Tao Fu's ear and teased, "What will I do after Fu is always so shy?"

Usually when they lie together, they just hold each other's hands and talk, and they don't get so close like they are now.

Tao Fu looked at Yuan Liuzhen who had one hand on his chest, and before he could answer Yuan Liuzhen, Yuan Liuzhen had already lay down, took the hand on his chest away, and took his hand.

Yuan Liuzhen took Tao Fu's hand and stroked her slightly swollen abdomen, saying, "Ah Fu should be bolder." Otherwise, he and Tao Fu would get married in the future. Fu didn't have strong endurance, how should he face it?

Hearing what Yuan Liuzhen said, Tao Fu moved his hand on Yuan Liuzhen's abdomen. He felt something wrong with his hand, and he was a little puzzled. He moved his palm again, and it was indeed wrong. He looked at Yuan Liuzhen suspiciously, "Is Zhenzhen fat?"

"..." What Yuan Liuzhen wanted to say was blocked in his chest by Tao Fu's "Are you fat?", unable to speak, he picked up Tao Fu's hand on his abdomen and turned his back to Tao Fu and said, "It's not early Alright, I'm going to sleep first."

Tao Fu didn't know why Yuan Liuzhen was suddenly angry, and he was a little annoyed, so he wouldn't have asked if he had known.

Shuri, Tao Fu got up very early to cook. Yuan Liuzhen woke up and put on his clothes and looked at his belly that looked fat. Thinking of Tao Fu asking him about his weight, he felt helpless.There is no doubt that Tao Fu likes him, but he really doesn't know how to tell Tao Fu that he is a brother and is pregnant. What excuses should he find?Or how to let Tao Fu know?

After waking up in the morning, Yuan Liuzhen discussed with Tao Fu and began to prepare the spicy strips, biscuits and puffs to be sold in the market tomorrow.

After Liu Shiqing woke up, she continued to cling to Yuan Liuzhen.With Yuan Liuzhen's explanation, Tao Fu obviously felt that Yuan Liuzhen didn't pay much attention to Liu Shiqing. It seemed that Liu Shiqing was very hardworking for Yuan Liuzhen.

When Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu were making spicy strips, Liu Shiqing kept asking them what kind of snacks they made. He had never seen it before. When the spicy strips were ready, Liu Shiqing was immediately attracted by the taste of the spicy strips. After eating seven or eight roots, even if it is so spicy that you can't stop drinking water, you still have to eat it.

Liu Shiqing watched Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu finish making spicy strips and then made puffs and biscuits. He was shocked when he saw the complicated craftsmanship of the two when they made puffs and biscuits. It made him feel very abnormal to have such good craftsmanship, because the Yuan Liuzhen he had come into contact with before was not like someone who could do these things.

Although Liu Shiqing had doubts in his heart, he didn't say it out. He thought it might be that Yuan Liuzhen learned cooking skills from Tao Fu after coming here, and he didn't think too much about it. After all, there is no harm in learning these skills, just as " "Man" Yuan Liuzhen still makes it difficult for him to accept learning these things.

While watching Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu busy, Liu Shiqing also learned how to do it. Although he didn't know how to do it very well, he studied it very seriously, thinking that it would be good to make snacks for Yuan Liuzhen in the future.

The moment the puffs and biscuits were taken out of the oven, the sweet taste was in stark contrast to the spicy taste of the spicy strips just now. Liu Shiqing was instantly attracted by the smell, he had never smelled such a delicious smell.He hurried over to chase Yuan Liuzhen and said that he wanted to try it. Yuan Liuzhen didn't refuse, and brought some for Liu Shiqing to taste. Liu Shiqing couldn't wait to eat a puff in one bite. The soft and sweet taste captured his mouth in an instant. It’s so good, it tastes like I don’t know what it’s made of. It’s the first time he’s had a dessert like this. He took another bite of the biscuit. It’s very crispy, similar to some pastries, but it’s not greasy at all, and there’s a sandwich inside. of cream.It was so delicious that he couldn't resist eating more.

The two kept busy until Uncle Man and Niang Li came back, so that Uncle Man didn't have to help when he came back.

When Uncle Man came back, he first told Tao Fu and Yuan Liuzhen about going to the market, and handed over the money to Tao Fu, and then took the rice and other things he bought back to the room opposite the study and put them down.

Yuan Liuzhen introduced Liu Shiqing to Uncle Man, and also introduced Uncle Man and Xiaoman to Liu Shiqing. Liu Shiqing was a little strange that Uncle Man brought Xiaoman to live in Yuan Liuzhen's yard, but he didn't say much, after all, Yuan Liuzhen only let him stay for two days Just let him leave, what he thought was that it was impossible to leave after staying for two days.

At dinner at night, even though Uncle Man and Xiao Man were there, Liu Shiqing still stuck to Yuan Liuzhen, served Yuan Liuzhen with food, and asked Yuan Liuzhen about various things. It seemed that Uncle Man thought there was some special relationship between Yuan Liuzhen and Liu Shiqing.

When sleeping at night, Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu still slept together, but Yuan Liuzhen no longer had the courage to tell Tao Fu that he was a brother and that he was pregnant, but he was a little anxious, and he didn't know how to tell Tao Fu. It seemed more reasonable, but he regretted that after that night, he should have told Tao Fu that night was not a dream, and he had really had an extremely intimate relationship with Tao Fu.

Seeing that Yuan Liuzhen had something on his mind, Tao Fu asked worriedly, "Zhenzhen has something on his mind, is it because of Shiqing's affairs?"

Yuan Liuzhen looked sideways at Tao Fu. He really wanted to tell Tao Fu that he was so sad because of Tao Fu, but he couldn't say it. He just looked into his clear eyes and said, "Tomorrow, I will go to the market, and I will find a carriage to take Shiqing off." Go back to the county."

"Okay." Tao Fu replied.

Yuan Liuzhen sighed: "If Shiqing goes back, the family will know that I am here. If the family finds me, how about you go back to the county with me?"

Tao Fu fell silent after hearing this. Is it really okay for him to go back with Yuan Liuzhen?he does not know.He has lived for so many years, and he has never seen a man and a man together, it is a man and a brother, or a man and a woman, or it is a man marrying a few wives.He had never seen someone like him and Yuan Liuzhen.Besides, would Yuan Liuzhen's father and father agree to their being together?Or did Yuan Liuzhen just take him back without explaining their relationship?

Seeing Tao Fu's silence, Yuan Liuzhen didn't know what he was thinking, and was a little embarrassed. Both he and Tao Fu seemed to be the type who couldn't talk about things. What should I do?

"Anyway, you have to go back with me when the time comes." Seeing that Tao Fu was silent, Yuan Liuzhen helped Tao Fu make a decision, and fell asleep alone after speaking.

After eating early in the morning, Yuan Liuzhen, Tao Fu, and Uncle Man loaded the carts with the things they were going to sell in the market. After Li Niang came over, Yuan Liuzhen asked Liu Shiqing to go to Litang Town with them.

Liu Shiqing was still attached to Yuan Liuzhen, no matter whether Yuan Liuzhen ignored him or not, he was still attached to Yuan Liuzhen, and kept asking Yuan Liuzhen how to do business here instead of joining the army, Yuan Liuzhen never answered these questions.Liu Shiqing never tires of this, even knowing that he will be sent away today, what he thinks is that if Yuan Liuzhen asks a carriage to take him away, he will come back by himself, anyway, he will definitely not return to the county for the time being.

With Liu Shiqing joining, Yuan Liuzhen is not as talkative as before, and the atmosphere on the road is naturally not as relaxed as before.

Especially when Liu Shiqing was always by Yuan Liuzhen's side, what Tao Fu wanted to say was difficult because of his status as a man.

Arriving in Litang Town, they came to the place where they usually spend the night. It is now late autumn, and they can sleep under a tree or in a bullock cart. It is okay to cover them with thick quilts. After November, they can no longer sleep like this.It happened that what they discussed was that after they bought the shop in November, they would not have to spend the night in such a hard way.

When they arrived at their usual resting place, Yuan Liuzhen took Liu Shiqing to the carriage shop in the town. Tao Fu wanted to follow, but Yuan Liuzhen said he would be back in a while, so Tao Fu had to give up and wait on the spot with Uncle Man.

Yuan Liuzhen was on the way to send Liu Shiqing to the chariot shop. Liu Shiqing looked at Yuan Liuzhen with sadness in her eyes, "Brother Zhen, do you really want to send me back? I still want to stay here for a while longer."

"Uncle Liu will be worried if your brother is outside. Go back first, and I will go back after a while." Yuan Liuzhen said.

"Then when will you go back?" Liu Shiqing asked.

Yuan Liuzhen knew that he was already pregnant for almost six months, and he must wait for Tao Fu to know that he was a brother and clarify the relationship with him before going back. It may take a long time to find a place where no one knows to have a baby and then go back.If Tao Fu likes him, he doesn't care whether he is a man or a brother. If Tao Fu has established a relationship with him, he can go back. It should be within a month or two. If it drags on , he can only find a place where no one is there to finish giving birth.

Thinking of this, Yuan Liuzhen replied, "I will go back in about a month or two."

"Then I'll stay with you for a month or two, and then go back together?"

"Shiqing should go back and talk to Uncle Liu, it's not safe to run out alone."

"Since Brother Zhen feels unsafe, it's better to wait for Uncle Tian to finish his work in Litang Town. After half a month, Uncle Tian and I will go back together, so we can stay here for another half month."

"You didn't tell Uncle Liu when you came out. It's better to go back as soon as possible. As long as you don't run around and just go back in a carriage, there will be no problem." The world is peaceful now, and there is no war. , I will give some more money to the manager of the carriage shop, and ask a skilled coachman to drive the carriage."

"..." Seeing that the persuasion was fruitless, Liu Shiqing could only compromise and said, "Okay..."

Yuan Liuzhen took Liu Shiqing to the carriage and horse shop, and hired a coachman skilled in martial arts for [-] yuan to drive the carriage. Watching Liu Shiqing get on the carriage and gradually go away, he turned back to the place where they usually slept.

Liu Shiqing asked the driver to stop after the carriage had driven a certain distance, and drove the carriage back. After returning to Litang Town, he went to the Lanyue Inn. He brought a lot of money with him when he went out. He knew that Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu would go to the market tomorrow. After going back, he thought about staying at the Lanyue Inn for one night, and then hired a carriage to go back to Liyao Village tomorrow.

Anyway, when he goes back to Liyao Village this time, he will have to wait a few more days anyway.

After late autumn, a lot of things are stored for a long time, they can make them ahead of time, or they can make more.After several months of launching different types of snacks, they have become well-known in the town. Yuan Liuzhen and Li Niang no longer need to go to the streets to sell, and there will be many people queuing up to buy them. Therefore, every time they bring snacks, they can be sold quickly Sold out, occasionally sold out, and it will not take more than half a day to sell out.

Yuan Liuzhen looked at the customers who lined up in a long line to buy snacks, and at the same time, he was thinking about the money in hand. It will be November soon. He had already told the owner of the shop opposite the Lanyue Inn that he wanted to buy a shop and paid 30 yuan. The deposit of two taels of silver, and now all their silver taels add up to almost 40 taels of silver. If they can send more sausages to the Lanyue Inn recently, they should be able to make up the 270 taels of silver excluding the deposit before November.

After thinking this way, he said to Tao Fu who was busy at the side: "Fu, we will go back today and buy more materials for making sausages. Recently, we will make more sausages and send them to Lanyue Inn. It will be winter soon, and the sausages will be sold. It's very good, Lanyue should stock up some more."

"Yes." Tao Fu replied with a smile.After Yuan Liuzhen sent Liu Shiqing away yesterday, he felt much more relaxed, at least he would not see Liu Shiqing clinging to Yuan Liuzhen.

After selling the snacks, they went to the vegetable vendors and bought a lot of pork, pig intestines, peppers, ginger, sugar, eggs, wine and a lot of condiments.After buying good things, they drove the ox cart back.

At this time, Liu Shiqing was still staying in the Lanyue Inn, and did not return to Liyao Village immediately. The horse-drawn carriage was faster than the ox cart. He returned to Liyao Village earlier, and Yuan Liuzhen and the others did not go back. He might as well have a good meal before going back. .He didn't dare to go around the street when the market was not over, for fear of being seen by Yuan Liuzhen.

In the afternoon, he went downstairs to order a table of food. He ate food at the Lanyue Inn yesterday, and it tasted very good. More importantly, he would give some free snacks before eating. There was no difference in what Fu did. He specifically asked Xiaoer whether these snacks were sent by Yuan Liuzhen and the others. After Xiaoer answered yes, he was instantly happy.It turned out that these snacks were really sent by Yuan Liuzhen and the others. After knowing that these snacks were sent by Yuan Liuzhen, he ate some more. After he was full, he strolled around Litang Town and borrowed a carriage for the driver to go. Liyao village catch up.

After Yuan Liuzhen, Tao Fu, and Uncle Man returned to the yard, Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu were going to make sausages.Tomorrow, Uncle Man and Li Niang will have a rest. After Uncle Man comes back, he will take Xiaoman back to Ligou Village.

At this time, only Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu were left in the yard. After a simple meal, the two began to make sausages.

It is quite simple to make sausage. Take out the sold meat, wash it with water, cut off the unclean or bloody place with a knife, dry the water, cut the remaining meat into small pieces, and then cut into cubes It can also be made into a mud shape, and salt is added to it for stirring.Then start to prepare the ingredients to add to the meat. The general ingredients are onion, ginger and other condiments cut into fine pieces, and then add chili, sugar, etc. to make a seasoning sauce.Pour the seasoning sauce into the meat and stir, or you can add eggs in it, stir and let it marinate to taste, and then pour the meat marinated with the seasoning sauce into the pig intestines with a simple funnel made of bamboo tube.The pig intestines have to be soaked with ginger and garlic in advance to remove the fishy smell, put the meat into the pig intestines and then tie them into sections with strings, and finally poke holes in the tied sausages with bamboo sticks, put them in hot water and pass them through again. It can also be hot water, and then air dry.Another way is to cook the sausage directly in the pot and eat it.Yuan Liuzhen usually cooks undried sausages, which are sent directly to Lanyue Inn. Lanyue Inn reprocesses the food according to the food they make, and they sell all the sausages that are dried.

They worked for a long time, and after they finished their work, they sat in the courtyard and drank tea leisurely. When they drank tea, they got very close to each other, and their hands were tightly held together. They will be so close to each other, not as reserved as when Uncle Man and Xiao Man lived here.

The moonlight was very good tonight, and the two chatted while holding each other's hands to admire the moon.
