Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 938 Hint? (2)
The three masters and servants were chatting, and Qingli was talking about the customs of the New Year in the Northland. Compared with the capital, she still felt that the New Year in the Northland was stronger. In Kyoto, the New Year was counted after the seventh day. , the ladies and gentlemen who are good friends will go out together. In the busiest streets of Kyoto, there are lion dance performances, dragon lantern dances, and Yangko teams. It is lively and lively, regardless of officials and ordinary people.

The fifteenth in Kyoto is what Qingli misses the most. At this time of year, she will wander around the streets with Shui Linghuan and Zhao Yangyang. The carriages are crowded, and the three of them are sitting in small sedan chairs. Met acquaintances, Shui Lingli and Bai Ruochen, classmates of Tianfeng Academy, Liu Huasheng brought her younger brother Liu Shusheng together, everyone formed a lively team, booked the restaurant, chose the second floor with the best view, drinking and having fun, After drinking and eating, everyone parted ways. At this time, Qingli would go to guess lantern riddles, or wander around in front of small stalls with folk customs, and would buy and collect the ones she liked.

It's cold in the north, and Qingli's only [-]th year is the year she was taken away. The past is unbearable. The town in Xiaofeng County is definitely not as prosperous as Kyoto. Vaccination, that kind of lantern festival does not happen every year, it depends on luck.

In Mojia Village, when the twelfth lunar month enters, it is considered to be the Chinese New Year.When villagers visit relatives and friends, they seldom come empty-handed. You give me a catty of white noodles, and I give you a catty of peanuts. Reciprocity is a gift, which enhances the relationship. No one sends too expensive things, and they are all that the villagers can use.

It is different in Kyoto. Every year in the twelfth lunar month, it is the busiest time for Qingli. The fourth aunt does not care about things. She has to manage the house and has good friends with many families. Sending New Year's gifts, but also coming to the door to pay New Year's greetings to the elders. I have been to the Baifu alone. Every time I pay New Year's greetings to the old Madam Du, that person really values ​​rules and is not close to others. It's not good, but Qingli found that the old lady of the Du family loves Du Xiangru to the bottom of her heart, and she is happy in everything she does. Sure enough, even if a woman gets married, her heart is still towards her mother's family, just a partiality.

In contrast, the ancestors of the Shuifu are quite easy-going. Shuiling, Li, and Shuilinghuan have different temperaments, but they have a common problem, and they don't care much about the rules. What a fuss, never did anything to the two of them, the most serious time was when Shui Linghuan stole the tribute from the small Buddhist hall, angered the ancestors, and was grounded for a few days.

"Miss, this old slave also noticed that the Northern Land has a strong New Year flavor, and the people are simple and kind, but there is less excitement."

Mammy Yu made a conclusion. When it was cold, no one wanted to go out. Only in the twelfth lunar month, there were some people in the big market in the town. For the New Year, the people in the surrounding villages racked their brains, as long as they didn't use it at home, they wanted to sell it for money .

The mountain is covered by heavy snow, and it can't be lively even if you want to. Unlike the mansion in Kyoto, the villagers have their own way of greeting the New Year, just like the morning of the Laba Festival, there are villagers who get up early, shout loudly in their yards, and say some blessings The villagers listened happily to his words, but for a person like Qingli who wanted to sleep until the sun was up, that behavior was a nuisance to the people.

Dad is Mo Ruhu, mother Liu never called out, father is a scholar, not so loud, mother is also literate and hyphenated, a little bit different from the village women in the village, in the end, in order to follow suit, the family chose Grandma Cui as a representative, as long as Grandma Cui yelled, and all the dogs in the village followed suit, barking wildly. The voice was quite powerful.

"Since arriving in the Northland, the servant girl feels that she has come full circle."

Mai Ya pinched her own face with her hand and pulled it, there was a layer of flesh on it, and she was still of a thin body.After coming to Beidi, there was not much work, and the young lady was not as particular about it as in the capital, and some things could be taken care of by herself without the help of their servants.

On weekdays in the village, Nanny Yu would visit the house and tell the widows in the village how she felt. She would stay at home, drinking tea and chatting with the young lady, as well as all kinds of delicious food, living a happy life, far away from the capital, without intrigue or noise .

"Miss, you said that Malt is not young anymore, when will you marry this girl?"

I heard that Dongmei, the maid next to Ms. Zhao Wanchun, was already over 20 years old before she was sent out to be married, and Mai Ya was also [-] or [-] years old, and she had an engagement with Huzi. The girl should not delay, marry and have children early .

"Mother Yu, what are you talking about?"

Mai Ya turned sideways and covered her face with her hands, looking very shy. The tents of the two armies are large, and the barracks cannot be separated from anyone. Brother Huzi has done a good job, and he will be promoted to the team leader soon. She has more than a dozen people under her command. I don't want to be a drag, and now that I'm married, I can't see each other often.

"This is up to the malt to decide."

Qingli likes Malt very much, she wants to stay for a few more years, and of course she has to be considerate, she doesn't want to delay Malt's lifelong event, but at present, it is too early to propose marriage, in her opinion, it is just right for a woman to get married at [-], too early is not good for herself .

"It's the old slave who talks too much. The old slave sees that Mai Ya is sewing shoes and socks and making shoes at the same time, so he thinks she is thinking of getting married soon."

Mammy Yu joked about the malt, thinking of the sweet potatoes in the stove, she opened the stove lid, and a unique sweet smell of sweet potatoes came to her face, she probed it with an iron hook, it was soft and ready to eat.

The three of them sat around eating sweet potatoes, Qingli stopped after eating only one, and Mammy Yu and Mai Ya were afraid of being burned, so they wrapped them in the heat-insulating oil paper, blowing hot air while sending them into their mouths. , the two of them had no time to talk, and had a great time eating.

"Actually, there are many ways to make sweet potatoes."

The sweet potato cake is fried, just like the pumpkin cake, sweet and soft.It can also be made into dried sweet potatoes, which are chewy.Mutated in the space, the sweet potato mutated into a purple potato, she didn't take it out, cut it into thin slices, put it in the accelerated warehouse, and it turned into crispy purple potato chips in an hour.

In modern times, when Qingli was a child, her family was very poor. At that time, there was no delicious food. Her parents would buy some cheap sweet potatoes, cut them into slices, and fry them in a frying pan. Sprinkle with sugar.

Caramelized sweet potatoes are a must-have dish for Chinese New Year. Sweet potatoes are cut into triangular pieces. They need to be fried first, and then boiled with white sugar to make syrup and stir-fried. The sweet potatoes are evenly stained with syrup, which is crispy and sweet, because it takes too much time and oil. , eat less than a few times a year.

"Miss, when you say that, the servant wants to eat again."

Mai Ya ate three sweet potatoes in one go, but still couldn't get enough of it.Now that I have eaten the hot and sour spicy food in the Northland, the light soup in Kyoto can no longer satisfy her appetite. Every time at home, I ask Grandma Cui to put more chili peppers and spicy pig's trotters. Can eat spicy food.

"You are hungry, you are hungry for everything."

Qing Li took a sip of the hot tea, covered the cup, and said to Mai Ya, "Eating so many sweet potatoes on an empty stomach, be careful of acid reflux in your stomach."
