Chapter 15 Qiqiao Festival
The Qiqiao Festival is the Qixi Festival, the day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet on the Magpie Bridge.
Although the wheel of history in this world has long gone astray, some important customs are similar to the ancient China in Li Yi's memory, and have not changed at all.
There is a room in the village that is specially used to store books. Of course, it is not quite accurate to say that it is a book storage. Those were all robbed when Liuye Village was still a real bandit village.
There are countless books scattered in the room. Li Yi will take one when he is free. In order to figure out what kind of world this is, Li Yi has been there a lot these days.
Qiqiao, as the name suggests, is the day when most girls and women beg the Weaver Girl for skills.
Legend has it that the Weaver Girl is a beautiful, smart, and skillful fairy. With a pair of skillful hands, she can weave clouds and weave the most beautiful brocade in the world. As an excellent textile industry worker, she is the role model and object of worship for women in the era of men farming and women weaving.
On the seventh day of the seventh month, women in the mortal world beg the Weaver Girl for wisdom and skills. Of course, some young girls in love and young women whose marriages are not very happy will also beg her to give them a good marriage.
Li Yi always thought that it was nonsense to ask the Weaver Girl to bless him to meet a good marriage. The Weaver Girl and the Cowherd can only meet once a year. His marriage is on the verge of breaking up. How can he have the spare time to bless so many lonely women...
Because all the participants in the Qiqiao Festival are women, the Qiqiao Festival is also called the "Daughter's Day" and the "Girl's Day". In short, this day is almost a carnival for women. You can go shopping without restraint, make an appointment with a few girlfriends to play freely, or hide under the grape trellis on the night of the Qixi Festival and listen to the love talk of the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd in the room without shame...
In a word, if you see your wife, your sister-in-law, and your maid's behavior is different from usual in the days before the Qixi Festival, don't be confused or panic, it's all normal.
After this information emerged in his mind, Li Yi was no longer surprised by their behavior.
Like threading a needle to pray for dexterity, spiders responding to dexterity, throwing needles to test dexterity, and night competitions of dexterity, Li Yi had never heard of these activities and customs. He could only sigh that the women in the village really know how to play...
But it's better this way, it's better than the Qixi Festival in the future. The fixed custom may be that every Qixi Festival, there will always be many people on the street in the name of Chinese Valentine's Day, and they will have fun in Home Inn, Hanting or 7 Days Hotel. I'm afraid they have forgotten the origin of Qixi Festival or who the Weaver Girl is.
To some extent, Li Yi likes this backward and conservative era even more.
Since the Qiqiao Festival is coming soon, we can find a reason to give the naughty children a holiday. However, the naughty children who used to like holidays the most now often count on their fingers, and how many days they have left before they can go to school again------the story of the monkey has just been told to the exciting part.
Seeing Xiaohuan carrying two pottery jars into the kitchen, Li Yi followed in and asked in confusion: "What is this?"
"This is sesame oil, and this is icing sugar." Xiaohuan put down the two pottery jars and pointed at them respectively.
"Sesame oil? Icing sugar?" Li Yi was stunned when he heard this, and he went to the two pottery jars to take a look, and suddenly his face was happy.
"This is... sesame oil? This, is it white sugar?"
Xiaohuan nodded beside him and said: "Son-in-law is really smart, sesame oil is made from sesame, and the Qiqiao Festival will be in two days. We have to make some Qiaoguo in advance."
Li Yi didn't know what Qiaoguo was, and he didn't want to know. He didn't hear what Xiaohuan said clearly. At this moment, Li Yi's eyes were only on these two pottery jars.
To be precise, it was the things in the pottery jars.
Oh my God, I have been here for so long, and I finally saw white sugar and vegetable oil!
In Li Yi's mind, fresh and delicious fried chicken fillet and sweet and sour pork tenderloin that would make him drool just thinking about it have already emerged...
Xiao Huan saw her son-in-law staring at the pottery jar with sesame oil and icing sugar with shining eyes. It seemed that she had thought of something. Her little face suddenly changed. She took a step forward to block Li Yi, looking at him pitifully and said: "Son-in-law, sesame oil and icing sugar are used to make Qiaoguo. There is only this little bit in the village. It can't be wasted..."
"What do you mean by waste? We are doing serious work. There is no tenderloin. Let's fry a chicken fillet first..." Li Yi rubbed the little maid's head and stretched out one hand to the jar of sesame oil.
"No!"
The little maid was immediately anxious and hugged Li Yi's hand to prevent him from taking another step forward.
This little bit of sesame oil and icing sugar was bought by all the girls in the village to prepare Qiaoguo. The price of sesame oil is very expensive. If it weren't for the Qiqiao Festival, it would be impossible to see it on weekdays.
Li Yi did not expect that the little maid who was usually well-behaved and cute and obedient to him would be so tough on this matter. The atmosphere suddenly became awkward...
Although the little maid was not very old, her figure had almost grown up. She was convex where it should be convex and curvy where it should be curvy. Li Yi's arms were held in her arms, shaking and rubbing constantly, and he could not help but touch two soft lumps.
This was the first time that Li Yi had felt such a sexy temptation since he was a child. He immediately felt the blood rushing up and his brain was a little short of blood supply. He hurriedly said: "Okay, Xiaohuan said no, then no, you let me go first..."
"Really?" Xiaohuan blinked her innocent big eyes and asked with some disbelief.
"Really!" Li Yi nodded sincerely.
After all, she was a girl. Seeing Li Yi's solemn promise, Xiao Huan let go of his arm. However, when she let go, she seemed to have thought of something. Her pretty face turned red. Her little hands rubbed the corners of her clothes anxiously, and she lowered her head and dared not look at Li Yi.
"You know you are shy now?" Li Yi glanced at the shy look of the little maid, and couldn't help but laugh. He rolled his eyes and suddenly said, "Xiao Huan, how about we have a discussion?"
"Discuss... what to discuss?"
The little maid continued to lower her head and rub the corners of her clothes, her voice as low as a mosquito.
It must be said that Li Yi is still very talented in deceiving naughty children and inducing ignorant girls.
Not long after, under Li Yi's half-seduction and half-forced method, Xiao Huan had to reach an agreement with him.
Li Yi could help her make the "Qiaoguo". While ensuring the quantity of Qiaoguo, the remaining sesame oil and icing sugar could be kept and not returned...
Anyway, they didn't know how much they had used. In previous years, there was nothing left.
Xiao Huan had no doubts about Li Yi's cooking skills. She simply told him how to make Qiaoguo and went out to do other things.
Looking at the cute figure of the little maid walking out, Li Yi's mouth curled up a smile.
Things in his hands, you want to return them?
Dream on!
