[Red House] No one knows that it is lychee

The New Year's Eve was very lively, Li Zhi was sleeping on the bed in a daze, but when it was midnight, he was woken up by the continuous sound of firecrackers outside.

She sat up and looked around, and found that her three roommates hadn't come back yet, she wanted to continue to sleep, but the sound of firecrackers outside seemed to intensify, Lizhi couldn't help it, so she just got up.

She put on a coat for herself, her hair was messed up on her back, and she sat on the edge of the bed alone, looking at the bright lights in the sky outside, Lizhi felt a little dazed - the sky at this time is not the same as the sky in the future Not too much.Especially during Chinese New Year, it is always the same smoky.

Lychee propped her chin up, and the sound of firecrackers could be heard incessantly.Don't say, although there is no moon today, the stars can still be seen.And that star is pretty big...

Lizhi's eyes widened, watching the big "star" start to move, and it was getting closer and closer, and its appearance became less and less like a star.

Lizhi quickly took a few steps back, opened the window, and saw that "star", like a cannonball, plunged into Lizhi's arms with lightning speed.

Lizhi felt that her internal organs had been knocked out of place. She took out the thing in her arms with a distorted expression, and saw that the bird must have been frightened by the firecrackers outside. They all exploded, and it was pure courage not to be scared to death.

"Why do you come here during the Chinese New Year..." Li Zhi held the big parrot's wings, not knowing what to say, "Why didn't you get scared to death by the firecrackers?"

The big parrot was so frightened that it couldn't even speak. Normally it would call for food when it saw a lychee, but now it opened its beak and couldn't say a word.

Seeing how pitiful it looked, Lizhi sighed and closed the window again.The sound of the firecrackers became a little quieter now, but the big parrot still looked demented, and it probably won't be able to recover for a while.

Lizhi put the big parrot on his bed, where the big parrot was paralyzed, with its two paws facing the sky, Lizhi looked carefully, and suddenly found that there was a note on the big parrot's paw.

Lizhi's heart suddenly thumped.

She quickly took off the note with her hands and feet, unfolded the note, and saw that there was a very short sentence written on it - the end of the year and the end of the year, you will be blessed.

Li Zhi looked at the still flamboyant words and the somewhat tattered note, and finally couldn't help laughing.

-

In another place, Liu Xianglian was sitting in her room, also looking out the window.

It's just that Liu Xianglian doesn't like the firecrackers outside very much. He is born a little afraid of the sound, and always feels that the sound is startled and unrefined.

I don't know if that person received his last note?Before he left, he asked the old housekeeper to keep it for him...

Liu Xianglian's thinking was a little erratic - what he did in the past few days was something he never thought of.I don't know how to find him, obviously he is still young, or did he fall in love with him, who has no father and no mother, like a rootless duckweed?Even if you lose your life, there is no hindrance.

Liu Xianglian felt that she must have guessed the truth, and he is still a shabby householder, so it is not an exaggeration to say what happened.

The matter is not difficult, it's just a secret investigation... Liu Xianglian frowned and looked at the pile of news spread out on the table.

Many of these news point to different directions, some say they have gone to the north, some say they are still in this city, and some say they are dead.

There are so many clues, all are different, Liu Xianglian is keenly aware that some people don't want outsiders to find out the real news, so they released so many false news as a cover.

Although it is possible to investigate one by one, but at this time... it is very urgent, and time cannot be wasted.

Liu Xianglian sighed with a headache, and forced herself to focus on those various materials again.

Why did such a matter of finding people fall on him.

-

The big parrot finally recovered. When Lizhi woke up, the big parrot seemed to be bouncing around the room very energetically, like a free-range chicken.

Seeing Lizhi sitting up, the big parrot flapped its wings and flew onto the bed, proudly raised its neck, and wanted to scream.

With quick eyes and quick hands, Lizhi pinched the big parrot's mouth.The big parrot can only shake its head back and forth, looking very pitiful.

Lizhi warned the big parrot in a low voice, regardless of whether it could understand or not: "I'm not alone in this room, don't bark! If you bark again, you won't get food!"

After speaking, Lizhi and the big parrot looked at each other for a while, thinking that the big parrot should not be able to bark, so he let go of the big parrot's mouth.

Sure enough, the big parrot didn't bark, but just flew to the window.He pecked at the window with his bird's beak, and Lizhi looked out of the window, only to see mynah standing there, looking frozen.

Lizhi quickly ran to the window, secretly opened a crack, and let mynah in.

Mynah didn't speak, but trembled after entering the room.It flew straight to the table and took two bites from the leftover tea that Lizhi drank yesterday.

Li Zhi looked at Mynah shyly—I don't know why, but I always feel that Mynah has a big boss's temperament...

She looked back and found that the three little maids who lived with her hadn't gotten up yet, so Li Zhi went to wash up quietly by herself.When she packed herself and came back, she found that two birds had got into her bed and were warming up.

"It's cold, what are you doing here?" Li Zhi whispered, "Is it cold?"

Mynah still seemed very energetic, but the big parrot seemed to be falling asleep again.

Li Zhi thought for a while, and found a small muff from her closet.It was given to Qingwen before when she felt that she was too young. Lychee has never been used much, but now it is suitable for birds.

I saw the big parrot and mynah on one side, only showing a bird's head.Lizhi couldn't help but want to laugh.She stretched out her hand and nodded lightly on Mynah's head: "It's better not to stay in this room, I will take you to the small kitchen."

On the first day of the new year in Jia's mansion, the busy schedule of the previous day was still continued. Jia Mu and others still had to enter the palace with heavy makeup according to their rank, while those who did not have official positions and orders stayed at home.

When Lizhi went to the small kitchen with the two birds, Mother Zhao hadn't come yet.She also got a gift from Jia Mu, and she went back after a few days off to reunite with her family.

"This is troublesome." Li Zhi scratched the back of her head, touched her hungry stomach, and decided to solve the problem of breakfast by herself.

Today is just the first day of the Lunar New Year, so let's make a slightly simpler one.

During the Chinese New Year, the ingredients in the small kitchen are also very abundant.Buffalo milk, which was not found before, is now available in small kitchens.Lychee decided to make a dish of milk.

She first poured a pot of water, and then poured sea salt into it.About two catties of water requires ten catties of sea salt, but not many lychees are made, and not many are boiled in salt water.

Until the salt water boiled, Lizhi watched the sea salt in the pot melt a little bit. When the sea salt was almost melted, Lizhi quickly scooped out the salt water and put it aside to let it cool.

It's winter now, and the salt water was still hot just now, but it's cooling down quickly.As the brine cooled, the impurities that were boiled out also began to precipitate.

Litchi took out the supernatant, put it aside, took the freshly prepared washed sea salt again, and then turned out a small sieve, filtered the clear salt water from the sieve, and poured it directly into the sea salt in the bowl.

When she finished all this, the buffalo milk and white vinegar beside her were slightly warmed up.

Lizhi took a spoonful of white vinegar, then a spoonful of buffalo milk, and poured the buffalo milk into the cup filled with white vinegar. Lizhi began to hold the cup, flexibly oscillating back and forth with her wrist.

A few seconds later, Lizhi poured the mixture of milk and white vinegar into the prepared mold, pressed it lightly with her fingers, and squeezed out the excess white vinegar.

After waiting, he took off the piece of curdled milk and put it in the salt water that was just prepared.After a while, the milk had hardened, so Lizhi took out the milk and put it aside to desalinate.

After making some milk, Lizhi walked to the stove and started cooking porridge.There is no special trick to make porridge, all you eat is a rice oil.

With the steaming and steaming of the hot air, the fragrance gradually dissipated.That's the aroma of the rice grains itself. Lychee couldn't help sniffing it, feeling like it was about to salivate.

Seeing that the porridge seemed to be almost ready, Lizhi took the milk that had just been prepared and had been de-salted, and put it into the porridge pot.After a little stirring, the milk melted, but this pot of porridge added a touch of salty fragrance.

Lizhi looked at his work with satisfaction. Just as he was about to bring down the porridge pot, he heard a voice from behind: "Hey? What is this? Why is it so fragrant?"

Lizhi was startled, she turned her head abruptly, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Sister Qingyue, you...why don't you make a sound when you walk."

Qingyue pursed her lips and smiled: "How do I know you're cooking in this small kitchen? I'm coming soon, come with me quickly, the girl will give you lucky money."

Lizhi looked at the pot of porridge hesitantly. Qingyue also walked into the small kitchen. She didn't notice the two birds placed in the corner by Lizhi. That's right, just right, the girl got up early, she thought the food she ate yesterday was greasy, and now she's losing her temper and refuses to eat."

Li Zhi understood: "Why don't you serve a bowl of porridge with the girl? It's just that the porridge has never been tasted by the girl, so I don't know if it suits the girl's taste."

Qingyue glanced at her, smiled and shook her head: "Rules? The girl has taken care of her body and eaten breakfast. This is a serious thing, but you don't have to stick to it. You just pack it up and bring it over. Maybe the girl Glad, I can give you some more lucky money."
