Tongzhuang Shili Rice Flower Fragrance

Ming Rou's sudden words made everyone stunned in place.

Zhong Lin looked a little embarrassed. In the past few years when Ye Qiuniang came to Zhuangzi, everyone noticed his intentional or unintentional actions. Since Ye Qiuniang disappeared suddenly half a year ago, Zhong Lin was indeed sad for a while.

But this time she came back suddenly, and the feelings in her heart began to revive again.

But after these few days of contact, I found that Ye Qiuniang was still the same as before. It seemed that there was no change, but after a closer look, she seemed to be completely different.

Zhong Lin remembers that Ye Qiuniang looked very simple and hardworking when she first came here, willing to do any dirty and tiring work, and the manager also liked to arrange different tasks for her, and was even willing to take her with her wherever she went. I felt sorry for this girl at first.

But the more I found out later, Ye Qiuniang became more and more calm in her affairs, but her temperament became more and more fierce. At first glance, it seemed that there was no change, the same coarse linen clothes and a faint smile as before, but it just made people feel uncomfortable. In the same way, he used to be able to approach her from time to time as an excuse to help, but now, he felt that Ye Qiuniang didn't need his help at all. This fact made Zhong Lin very frustrated.

Now that the other party's sister said it directly, Zhong Lin couldn't hold back in an instant.

But before he opened his mouth, Atao was the first to speak out: "Brother Lin, Miss Ming is joking with you, it's getting late, you'd better go to Zhuangzi early, lest you be told by the steward when you are late .”

After speaking, he turned to Mingju and said, "Miss Ming, didn't we come to find Tiantian to make dyes, it's important to be busy with business."

In fact, Mingrou regretted that sentence after she said it. She has always been innocent but impulsive. Her grandfather once said to let her calm down, but she just didn't remember it. Now when she sees the man in front of her, I thought in my heart that everyone in this village knew that he was interested in Jiujiu, so I couldn't help but feel sour in my heart, and opened my mouth to give a straight-forward warning.

Ming Rou regretted it in her heart, but it didn't show it on her face, she raised her chin and looked a little dissatisfied.

Under Atao's persuasion, Zhong Lin didn't say anything, and went out with a hoe on his shoulder.

The remaining three looked at each other for a while, and Ming Rou remembered that he was the brother who had pissed off the little sister just now, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

It was Zhong Tiantian who came over and pulled her sleeves and said, "Don't care about their adults' affairs, let's deal with us. If sister Qiu really has a marriage contract, it's better to let elder brother know earlier, so as not to get deeper and deeper."

Ming Rou finally heaved a sigh of relief when she said this, stepped forward to take Zhong Tiantian's arm and entered the room with a smile on her face, but secretly made up her mind not to be so impulsive next time.

Mingrou told Tiantian about Ye Qiuniang's idea of ​​adding beeswax, and the three decided to give it a try.

But where to get beeswax, the two were dumbfounded again.

In the end, Atao solved the problem.

"Old man Zhao's family keeps bees. I'll ask him for some to try first. If there are more, we'll think of other ways."

Now it's really just a little bit to try to adjust, A Tao is familiar with the old man Zhao, turned around and ran out, and came back not long after, holding a small piece of bee's hive with a lotus leaf in his hand.

"The old man said to boil the honeycomb first, and then remove the impurities on it before using it."

Zhong Tiantian immediately found a small pot according to the method he said, added some water and boiled it together with the honeycomb, and soon got a small half bowl of beeswax, took a small amount out, and mixed it with the red and blue flower juice prepared yesterday Stir together carefully, and finally get a thick paste, which really looks like that.

Looking at the rouge that was almost similar to the ones she bought before, and the color was purer, Mingrou's joy rushed straight to her heart.

After cooling down, the three of them wiped some on each other's face to see the effect. It was better than yesterday's, and it smelled good. It's just that the humidity is still insufficient, but it can already catch up with today's There are a lot of lipsticks for sale on the street, and the three of them don't feel discouraged at all, on the contrary they are even more excited.

"Rourou, this one is already very good right now, if you continue to fiddle with it, maybe it will be even better."

Mingrou nodded, today's harvest made her feel very happy, and it was Jiujiu's reminder that she made such great progress, so she must tell her the news when she gets home.

The two of them had been busy all day, immersed in their own affairs, didn't even notice what time it was, and didn't even know when A Tao left. It was after Zhong Lin entered the house that Ming Rou realized that the sun was about to set, so hurry up Pack your things and prepare to go back.

When passing by the big thatched shed, thinking of being chased by the big goose this morning, I couldn't help but glance in that direction, but I didn't expect to meet the sharp eyes of the big goose, and Mingrou's feet slipped in fright, the big goose He raised his long neck and made a rattling sound, as if teasing her.

Ming Rou was speechless for a while, but she didn't want to argue with a bird. She patted her buttocks and walked past the big goose with her chin raised, without giving it a look.

When I got home, Ye Qiuniang just came back, Ming Rou excitedly brought today's results to her as a treasure, Ye Qiuniang turned around and gently touched her head and praised: "I just mentioned it briefly, I didn't expect you It really worked out."

Mingrou smiled at her and said, "Jiujiu, take a look here, does it look good?"

Only then did Ye Qiuniang take a closer look at her, and saw that her lips were covered with a thin layer of rouge, which was moist and radiant, looking very attractive, and there was also a thin layer of rouge on the side of her cheeks. Powder, with today's attire, is simply sweet.

Ye Qiuniang's eyes suddenly darkened, but she saw the little girl approaching her on tiptoe: "Jiujiu, is it fragrant, do you smell honey?"

Ye Qiuniang leaned back slightly and quickly reached out to fix her body, preventing her from rubbing against her again: "Xiang, I smell it."

Seeing Ye Qiuniang's body leaning back, Mingrou snorted unhappily: "You didn't even smell it, and you didn't look closely, you're just playing me off."

"Of course I didn't play tricks on you."

"I don't believe it, just smell it again."

Ye Qiuniang was a little helpless, so she had to let her stand still, and then she bent slightly and approached her lips, sniffing lightly.

In fact, there is no need to sniff at all, because as soon as she gets close to Mingrou's side, a good smell will come from her body, is it the fragrance of flowers?Or the smell of honey, or the green smell of the girl, no matter what it is, Ye Qiuniang didn't dare to smell it, she just moved closer and quickly held her breath.

"Okay, I smell it, it smells really good, go play by yourself, I'll make dinner."

Only then did Ming Rou reluctantly let Ye Qiuniang go, looking at the small piece of bacon she was holding, her expression came alive again in an instant.

"Jiujiu, I have bacon to eat tonight."

Seeing her greedy look, Ye Qiuniang smiled and said: "There are over there in the warehouse, please bring some back first, and reward the young lady who has worked hard today."

Ming Rou was shy in an instant: "I didn't work hard, it's Jiu Jiu, Jiu Jiu, let me cook for you."

Seeing that she was very interested, Ye Qiuniang was also very happy to let her participate.

There was some rice in the pot, and he handed it to Mingju and said, "Go and wash the rice, just one pass, then add water, it will be enough to cover half of the rice with water, tonight we have bacon, cook dry rice for dinner."

Ming Rou was so happy that she was assigned a task, she took the small pot and went outside to wash the rice, Ye Qiuniang quickly lit up the fire in the kitchen.

After Mingrou brought the small pot in, she looked at it, and found that the water was just right, and she put it directly on the stove.

Ye Qiuniang handed over the wild vegetables picked by the roadside when she came back to Mingrou to wash outside, and she boiled another pot of water, cleaned up a small piece of bacon after the water was hot, and put the whole piece on top of the rice to steam.

The wild vegetables are boiled directly in the water to make soup. When the vegetables are cooked, the rice is almost as good as the bacon. The aroma of the cured meat wafts out of the pot, making Ming Rou stare at the pot for a second.

Ye Qiuniang looked funny, guessing that it was almost time, she removed the fire burning under the rice, and let the pot continue to simmer on the stove.

As soon as the lid was opened, a tangy aroma rushed to the face, and the crystal clear bacon lay on top of the rice, making people watch their index fingers move.

Ye Qiuniang picked up the whole piece of bacon with chopsticks, put it on the cutting board, and then cut it into small pieces. The hot meat slices were fat and thin, the fat part was crystal clear, and the thin part was bright red. It's mouth watering, not to mention the rich cured flavor keeps stimulating the taste buds.

Ming Rou poked her head out from behind Ye Qiuniang, watching her secretly drooling while cutting bacon.

Ye Qiuniang looked down at her dark head, chuckled, cut a small piece of thinner one, and fed it to her mouth.

Ming Rou opened her mouth and bit it with a woo-wah, and almost swallowed her own tongue after only two bites.

In the past, when Ming Rou was still in the Ming family, bacon was rarely eaten. The food of the big family always pursues fresh and delicious food, and cured meat is not often seen on the table. Even if there is, in front of other delicacies from mountains and seas, bacon There is always not enough advantage to win favor, so in Mingrou's impression, there is hardly the impression that she has eaten bacon many times.

In addition, in the past few days, the clear soup has little water, and it is full of porridge, without any fat, and the stomach is very scraped.

Now that she tasted this bacon, she actually felt like a delicacy of seafood.

Seeing her satisfied face, Ye Qiuniang also had a smile on her face, and asked, "Is it delicious?"

"It's very delicious, the aroma of the incense is irresistible, the cured meat is mellow enough, and it's fat but not greasy, and the lean meat doesn't clog your teeth."

"Didn't you not eat anything that was fat before? Just now half of that piece was fat." Ye Qiuniang couldn't help teasing her.

"Hee hee, just make fun of me, anyway, I can eat now, hum."

After the bacon was cut and put on a plate, then the wild vegetables were put into the big sea bowl, and Ming Rou went to scoop up the rice, and the two sat down facing each other, enjoying the wonderful meal time of the day.

After eating and drinking enough, Mingrou was always in a good mood, until she was sleeping, she was still laughing and arguing with Ye Qiuniang, and in the middle of the quarrel, she suddenly remembered what happened during the day, her mood instantly became a little depressed, and she said to Ye Qiuniang anxiously : "Jijiu--"

"Ok?"

"When I went to Tiantian's house today, I met her elder brother, the one who said he always liked you."

"and then?"

"I do not like him."

"If you don't like it, you don't like it. You can't force yourself to like someone you don't like."

"But he is Tiantian's older brother, and today when I was being chased by a big goose, he even rescued me."

"Then why don't you like him?"

"Because he likes you."

"So what?" Ye Qiuniang said.

"You are mine, other people can't like it." Ming Rou was a little guilty at first, but when she said this, she became very righteous, as if it was a matter of course.

Ye Qiuniang smiled lightly when she heard the words: "If he doesn't like me, will you still hate him?"

"I don't hate him. He is Tiantian's elder brother. Tiantian is my good friend and he even saved me. How can I hate him?"

"Then let him stop liking me."

"Well, so I told him in the morning that you've already been betrothed to someone, and told him not to like you anymore, Jiujiu, is it okay for me to say that?"

"It's okay, that's what you should say." Ye Qiuniang turned sideways and gently rubbed her soft hair.

"Jiujiu, you didn't scold me, that's kind of you."

"Why should I scold you? I was betrothed to someone a long time ago. What you said is the truth."

"But...but..."

"But what?" Ye Qiuniang's voice could not hear the ups and downs.

"But we are all women." Ming Rou huddled beside her, holding her arm carefully and said.

"Then there is a law in this world that a woman cannot be betrothed to a woman's family." Ye Qiuniang remained calm, her fingers were still gently stroking her hair, which made Ming Rou feel very comfortable.

Ming Rou leaned her head on her arm and thought about it carefully, there seemed to be nothing, but she always felt that something was wrong, but the fingers on her head seemed to have magic power, scratching her drowsily, and she couldn't bear it. He yawned in a small mouthful, and couldn't open his eyes dimly.

"But..." Ming Rou was confused and muttered, but couldn't think of any words to respond.

"Miss doesn't want Jiujiu to stay with you all the time?"

"...Well, I thought..."

"Then why bother with so many other things."

"Well... don't get entangled, Jiujiu will always be with you..." Mingrou was almost falling asleep at this time, and she didn't even realize what she was saying.

Just before losing consciousness, he blurted out another sentence: "... Big Goose... Chirp, Big Goose..."
