Allure of a Country Maiden

The next day, the upper room was lively early in the morning, and laughter kept coming. Xiaoer didn't wait for Shen Chengyao to come back last night. She and Liu made wine. They first crushed the dried grapes and mixed the pulp and Put the peels together into the wine jar, filling about half of the jar, leaving just enough space for fermentation. Just seal the lid and let it ferment naturally. Of course, we still need to add sugar and check the fermentation status during this period. The wine was quickly brewed, and Xiaoer went back to her room, so she didn’t know what happened. She planted herbs in the advanced space. After planting, all the herbs in the herbal space were gone. I have planted it once, and I will start planting flowers tomorrow. Once the flowers are planted, the space can be upgraded. After managing the space well, I did Tai Chi again in the space, and then I left the space.

When Mrs. Liu saw Xiaoer getting up, she urged her to wash up, "Hurry up and wash up. After breakfast, you have to go to bed. Your sister Baoer will be engaged in two days."

"Why is it so sudden?" Xiaoer stopped brushing her teeth with a willow branch and really missed her toothbrush and toothpaste.

"It's not sudden. Your aunt has asked someone to pay attention to it a long time ago, but she has never been satisfied."

I have never been satisfied, but now I am satisfied. Have I finally found Gao Zhi?

"My uncle must have extraordinary vision. I wonder which young master you are talking about?"

"I heard from your father that he is the second son of the county magistrate's family."

"That's a good marriage!"

Mrs. Liu smiled after hearing this, "You say it as if you know what a good marriage is."

"When I heard about someone getting engaged to someone else, this is what everyone said! What's wrong with that?"

Mrs. Liu was stunned, too! Normally, someone would say something like this when they heard someone was getting engaged, but when it came from a child's mouth, it was really awkward to hear it.

"Mom and dad, did you leave for the neighboring county early in the morning?" Xiaoer washed her face and sat at the kang table to have breakfast. Today's breakfast was corn porridge. The porridge was glutinous and served with golden corn kernels. , it was very beautiful. Xiaoer took a spoonful and put it into her mouth. It was very sweet.

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu's expression froze, "How can I? It just so happens that your eldest cousin is preparing to get engaged, so we have to leave in a few days. Now we are going to the town to buy groceries."

"What about brother and Hao'er?" They disappeared early in the morning.

"Your grandpa said that the lunch dish must be a plate of pickled fish, and they went to catch fish.

"Mom, we have to brew the wine first before we can go to the upper room to help. Otherwise, the fruits will not be fresh and the brewed wine will not be good."

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu agreed. Last night, Mrs. Liu asked Xiaoer how much money she bought for the oxcart fruit. Xiaoer said ten taels. If it was not turned into wine and the fruit was spoiled, she felt that her heart was broken. It will hurt so much that it bleeds.

The fruit of golden cherry is hard, and when making golden cherry wine, it is best to squeeze the outer skin of golden cherry without breaking the core inside. After Xiaoer said this request, Mrs. Liu picked up the kitchen knife and put the golden cherry blossoms on a clean chopping board. The first and second times she failed to grasp the strength, but the third time Mrs. Liu was able to hit every golden cherry blossom. Sakurako only had the flesh cracked and the core was completely fine. The photo was taken quickly and well. She is indeed a neat worker.

There were a lot of golden cherry blossoms, and brewing golden cherry blossom wine was more troublesome than grapes. Later, two brothers joined in and it took nearly two hours of filming to crush all the golden cherry blossoms, then put two jars in and added white wine. , seal the wine jar, wait a few days for fermentation, then add sugar, lemon juice and yeast. Golden cherry wine is more troublesome. The soaking time is at least one month at a time, and the juice must be returned more than five times. It was more fragrant, but there was still a lot of work ahead. Xiaoer mentally estimated what needed to be done at what time. After brewing the golden cherry wine, I left the apples alone, as they are more durable.

Because she was brewing golden cherry wine, Mrs. Liu came to the upper room to help relatively late. At this time, the vegetables were almost ready, except for the pickled fish and a green vegetable.

The Shen Zhuang family, the Lan family and the Li family didn't look good on either of them. In the past, the Lan family always looked gentle to everyone in front of them, but now they feel that their daughter has climbed a high tree and has greater capital. , so you become more arrogant?

"I'm not telling you, third brother and sister, now that the family is separated, you just..." Mrs. Shen Zhuang glared at Mrs. Li. It wasn't that she wanted to help Mrs. Liu. In fact, Mr. Shen had specially ordered her not to quarrel. It would be unlucky. , she stopped Li from talking.

Otherwise, she would have scolded Mr. Liu until she found a hole in the ground.

Liu killed the fish according to Xiaoer's request, removed the bones, and filleted the fish. Xiaoer personally cooked a pot of pickled fish. This pot of pickled fish was definitely not comparable to the one last night, but the height of the fish was Otherwise, the taste will be very different, but not many people have eaten the fish last night, and today's plate of pickled fish has also been eaten completely.

Xiaoer came to Shen Baoer's room carrying a basket of fruits.

Shen Yuzhu was pestering Shen Baoer and kept asking about the county prime minister's family, how they met, and what the county prime minister's second son looked like...

Shen Baoer was annoyed by her question and said angrily: "How do I know that the marriage was decided by my mother?"

"Sister-in-law, first cousin." Shen Baoer glanced at Xiaoer and hummed softly from his nostrils in agreement. Xiaoer didn't take it seriously and handed the fruit to her.

When Shen Baoer saw the fruits in the basket, which were tender and fragrant, he looked at Xiaoer and asked, "Where did Xiaoer get this fruit?" This fruit is many times better than the one given to her by the second son of the county magistrate.

"bought".

"Where to buy it"? If you can buy more on the day of the engagement to greet the people over there, you will gain face.

"An old man was selling it on the road with a bullock cart."

"Do you know where that old man is from?"

"have no idea".

After hearing Xiao'er's answer, Shen Baoer's eyes flashed with disdain. He was really a stupid person who couldn't support him. If she were to meet someone selling such good fruit, she would definitely not fail to inquire about it. If you give such a good fruit to those rich ladies and wives, you will definitely get a good harvest.

Shen Yuzhu was dissatisfied that Xiao'er had grabbed Shen Bao'er's attention as soon as she arrived. She was really envious and jealous of Shen Bao'er. She was obviously older than Shen Bao'er, so why was Shen Bao'er even engaged, but there was no trace of her own marriage? She thought She has been living in the village without going out or stepping outside the door. The rich and wealthy men in the town don't know that there is such a beautiful person like herself in this world. If she can't, she has to ask her mother to take her to live in the town and help her find her. They were well married. Thinking of this, he stood up and planned to go find Mr. Shen Zhuang. He glared at Xiaoer and said, "Why don't you go out and help cook?"

Xiaoer didn't want to stay here either, so she turned around and left without saying anything.

Shen Baoer also went out to find Mrs. Shen Zhuang. Shen Baoer's world became peaceful, but what she didn't know was that soon, the difficult days for their eldest family would begin.
