He washed the beans and dried them in the sun. Then, he mixed the beans with salt and marinated them. Next, he had to wait for the salt to seep into the beans before he could proceed with the next step.
She sewed the octagonal and other spices she had bought at the bazaar into the muslin bag, boiled the water in the small stove, and threw in the spices. After the spices filled the small courtyard and the brine in the wok had turned dark, she let Qiujia throw in all the pig entrails she had collected at noon, put in the pork head, covered it with a lid, and began to cook.
The cute girl washed her hands and face clean, kneading the noodles until they reached the tendons. They were cut so thin that they looked 80% similar to the noodles from her previous life.
The pork was boiling in the stew pot, and the group of people in the small courtyard were unable to move their feet. The stew was like a small hook that was stuck in their stomachs, causing the gluttony in their stomachs to boil up.
Before the stewed meat had even been cooked and the noodles had yet to be cooked, Iron Egg was starving. He would run over to the kitchen later.
"Elder sister, are you done? Mother is hungry, while Iron Egg is also hungry. " As he spoke, he couldn't help but shake his lady's clothes. He pouted. He was so hungry.
Orchid's eyes were wide open, exposing half of his head outside, as if asking if the lady was ready.
The little girl could not help but smile bitterly. Actually, not only did the children want to eat it, even she herself was drooling crazily.
In her previous life, she was used to eating heavy foods, so she didn't have much seasoning here, neither did she have any chili peppers. In her previous life, she was used to eating heavy foods, so she didn't have any spices, and she didn't have any chili peppers either.
Ye Xuan carried the two pheasants home along a small road. He hadn't even entered the village when he saw the smoke coming from the sky above his mother's house. At this time, most of the people in the village didn't cook.
However, it was as if the little girl's house was burning and cooking things at all times. She would always be able to create a pile of strange things, as if they were her origins.
However, she always had a magical power that made people want to get close to her. It was as if she could flash when she was with others.
When Ye Xuan returned home, before his daughter had even finished cooking the meat, the family members had already stopped what they were doing and gathered in the courtyard to talk and do things.
On the bamboo bed under the peach tree, Wang Plum Blossom was sitting on it, with a one-year-old copper coin in her arms. Autumn Flower was sitting on the bed, on the bamboo bed under the peach tree, with a one-year-old copper coin in her arms.
"Then what did you say?"
"What else can you say? Just tell her that you drew it, and that woman just pouted and left without saying anything."
Qiu Ju laughed. "These people are so funny. They say they look down on us. What do they need help with? They run away pretty quickly."
The lady picked the beans in the dustpan, threw the bad beans on the ground, and the chicks came back to eat.
The little girl smiled but didn't say anything. What did she care about this kind of person?
Ye Xuan looked at his daughter. He felt that she was very similar to some of the people he used to know. Those people were high and had high statuses. They were able to see through people with ulterior motives, but they never spoke of it.
He was clearly just a woman from a village, but his bearing was able to contain everything.
"When did you come back? Standing there like a fool. " Upon seeing him, the lady smiled and waved him in.
"You went up the mountain again?" The cute girl put down the things in her hands and stood up to receive the two pheasants. She instructed Qiuju to boil some water to remove the feathers as she continued, "I already said before that you don't want to enter the mountain alone, no matter how high your martial arts are, there will always be mistakes. If anything happens, tell me …"
Ye Xuan laughed innocently, "It's nothing, I just caught two wild chickens."
The little girl slanted her eyes and stared at him, "Eagles can peck at an eagle's eyes. If you don't listen to them, I'll …" She thought for a moment, then stomped her feet helplessly, "I won't care about you anymore!"
"Good, good, good. Next time, I will definitely go into the mountain with someone else. I will absolutely not decide on my own." When Ye Xuan arrived at the back of the house, he couldn't hold back the restlessness in his heart anymore, and carried Ye Xuan in his arms from behind.
"Lady …" The man panted heavily. The warm breath warmed his ears. The lady's body suddenly softened as she fell into the man's embrace. She wasn't some naive little girl. She had lived for so long in her previous life, and she hadn't even eaten pork before, yet she hadn't even seen a pig run?
Ever since she revealed her intentions to Ye Xuan, the little girl had thought of this day. However, Ye Xuan was like a fool as he only foolishly looked at her with a silly smile. He didn't have the slightest intention of making a move on her.
No matter what, she was still a woman, so it shouldn't be good for her to tell him these things, right? I didn't know what happened to Ye Xuan today …
Her eyes roamed around the room as her dainty and delicate eyes locked onto Ye Xuan. "Idiot, what are you doing …"
Ye Xuan felt all of the blood in his body gush out in one direction. This was a feeling he'd never experienced before.
He embraced her in his arms and tried his best to suppress the impulse in his heart. Ye Xuan, oh Ye Xuan, you call yourself a gentleman in vain.
He and the lady had yet to be matchmaker. If they were to do such a despicable thing, how could the girl meet anyone in the future? How could the two of them accept everyone's blessings to get married? I must not let my daughter suffer any grievances!
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan tightened his grip on her. He took a deep breath and released her. "It's alright. I was just thinking of you."
The lady's rosy cheeks were flushed and her eyes were still filled with confusion, as if she was reprimanding him for his presumptuous thoughts just now.
Ye Xuan didn't dare to meet her eyes. He said, "I'm going home." Then, he left in a hurry.
Right at this moment, he saw Qiu Ju rushing over with hot water, "Is my lady in the backyard?"
Ye Xuan rejoiced in his heart. Luckily, he didn't do anything out of line! Otherwise, how could he face the crowd?
The little girl did not know what he was thinking. She stomped her foot and cursed him in her heart, "That fool!"
If he didn't even eat the fat meat that was in his mouth, what else could he be other than an idiot!?
Ye Xuan broke the necks of the two pheasants halfway through his journey. They lay lifelessly on the ground, just like the girls now.
As soon as Qiuju arrived, she saw the lady kicking the pheasant, and could not help but tease her with a smile, "What's wrong with the young lady?"
Autumn is not stupid, even a little clever. She was born ugly and was short. Ever since she was young, her parents had told her that if she grew up and found someone with money, no one would want her as a concubine. She would take care of all the menial work in the family.
When Qiuju was twelve, her father wanted to sell her to a maid. She had heard that it was difficult to be a maid and that life and death were in the hands of others.
On the day that the granny broker came to buy food, she purposely broke several bowls in the house, acting as if she was in a daze. That person didn't want her. Even though she was beaten half to death by her father afterwards, she didn't regret it.
By the time she reached the age of twenty, no one in the entire village was willing to marry her. Everyone said that she was a silly and ugly girl, and when she was twenty and still couldn't marry out of her family, her parents were so worried that they started beating her up and scolding her.
The poor kid Cheng Huzhu was carrying a load as he passed by their village. The first thing Cheng Huzhu did when he returned was find a wife for himself. His father had said that only then would a man have the motivation to live.
But he was poor, poor clink, no house, no fields, which good girl would marry him?
After hearing about Autumn Flower, Cheng Huzhu thought that this girl was both silly and ugly. She probably didn't have many betrothal gifts at home, so he could marry her and make her happy.
When he went to Qiuju's house to say this, Qiuju's father asked Cheng how many betrothal gifts he had prepared. He only carried two baskets of millet rice, and he was so angry that he almost threw him out with a stick.
But Autumn is happy! Cheng Huzhong wasn't tall, but he looked delicate and pretty. His clothes were torn, revealing his strong arms. Although he was three years younger than her, he looked like he could still work. She immediately ran in from outside and said that she wanted to marry him.
Autumn Ju's mother advised him for a long time, but it was no different from saying that Autumn Ju was old and could only marry a widower if she stayed at home. She also needed to eat at home for a few more years, so she might as well take this little bit of food and marry Autumn Ju off.
After all, the phrase "eat more food at home for a few more years" had persuaded father Qiuju to take away Qiuju without asking who she was.
Thinking up to here, Qiuju was filled with hatred. Why do you think her parents were so heartless? If they were kidnappers on the way, what would happen if they took her away?
But Qiujie didn't think about it at the time. She packed up her clothes and happily followed Cheng Huzhu.
Cheng Huzhu carried the empty load and told her to put her clothes on the load and followed her, singing the mountain song.
She didn't ask where she was going, nor did she know where she was going. The two of them walked for an entire afternoon until it was already dark. Finally, they stopped at a run-down temple.
Cheng Yanzhong took out a small cloth bag from his bosom, inside it was a handful of rice, "It's not that I want to marry you, but those millet rice are all my possessions. I thought that if you marry me, you can't not even eat a mouthful of rice, right? "That's all I have left. Don't worry, I'll go and earn money tomorrow."
With that, Cheng Huzhong took out a jar from behind the broken Buddha statue and started cooking in the temple with firewood.
How could Qiuju mind? She felt that Cheng Huzhong had given her too much rice! He should save a basket for his own food! She went to the temple and picked some wild vegetables, washed them and put them in the pot.
The weather was a little cold. Qiuju sat by the side of the jar and sniffed her nose. The orange flames made her look even better. Cheng Huzhu didn't think that his wife was stupid at all. Didn't she know how to pick wild vegetables?
