Farming with medicine

Chapter 117
"Master, I'm afraid it's not very good," the guard was a little embarrassed.

"Tsk tsk, then I can only continue," Bai Xinghe turned around and went into the kitchen again, the guards could only grit their teeth and agree.

In a blink of an eye, Qixi Festival is coming soon.

The weather was cool in the early morning, so Cardamom took stock of the accounts for the past few days, and there was a surplus of 40 taels, which she prepared for the Qixi Festival for her mother, and she exchanged the rest for bank notes when she sent her nanny back to the next town.

Before the night fell, the whole town was full of joy, especially the girls who bought rouge, powder and colored silk thread were so tight around these two spots that they finally squeezed out. The door of Baiweitang was closed tightly, and she entered through the back door. store, and hide the bank notes in the inner courtyard. This place was agreed with Qi Tengmiao last night. If he comes, he will come here to get the money directly.

"There are more than 400 taels of silver, and there is a little more than 400 left. I will try to pay off the debt in a few years," Dou Kou hummed a ditty and locked the back door of Baiweitang to go to the street to buy some food for today's festival.

There is a custom on the night of Qixi Festival, that is, every family uses bamboo strip paper to make a magpie bridge, and uses the soaked buds of rice and mung beans to make handicrafts.

In the middle of the main hall of the house, there should be a table for the Eight Immortals, an embroidery table, and a variety of flower and fruit products and female celebrities. , and rouge gouache for crimson lips at night.

Cardamom bought a bunch of things and went back.

Niang and Chunjuan concubine are making Qiqiao fruit in the kitchen.

She hadn't seen it before, so she rolled up her sleeves and went to help.

"Wash your hands, mother will make fruit for you," Osmanthus osmanthus pushed the cardamom out with her elbow to wash her hands, her hands covered in flour.

Xiao Jiu kept bouncing around the kitchen door, and when she saw Dou Kou coming out, she raised her hand in a childlike voice to show Dou Kou the colored silk thread on her wrist, "Sister, sister, look, mother said to tie the colored thread, and later Then you can get married."

"Glutton monkey, do you know what it means to be married?" Dougao couldn't help but smirked and approached Xiao Jiu to ask her.

Xiao Jiu tilted her head, her chubby face was full of doubts.

"Marrying means that you can't eat the fruit by yourself in the future, you have to share it with another man."

Xiao Jiu pouted with a grievance on her face, "Sister, tell mother that Xiao Jiu doesn't want to marry, and Xiao Jiu doesn't want others to share Xiao Jiu's snacks."

Osmanthus yelled to Dou Kou not to tease Xiao Jiu, she was about to cry, so she gave up and went to help in the kitchen.

Qiqiao fruit is also called Xiaoyaner, and there are many styles, such as Nixiang, Fangsheng, etc. Today they make the simplest one.

When she was shopping on the street today, she saw someone selling this kind of fruit. If she bought a catty, she would get a pair of dolls in armor like door gods. She didn't buy the fruit, but asked the shopkeeper to sell her a pair of those A fruit in battle armor was quietly placed in his room.

The shopkeeper told her that it was called General Fruit Food, and it looked delicious.

"What do you want? Come on, mother will teach you how to make Qiqiao fruit. When you grow up and get married, you have to make these yourself."

Chunjuan put sugar in a pot and dissolved it into syrup, and the smile on her face was sweeter than sugar, "It will be a few years before your cardamom gets married. I think you are impatient, and you won't be able to bear it by then."

Osmanthus fragrans said with a smile, "Sooner or later, if you don't want to part with it, you will have to belong to someone else's family. As a mother, I can't keep her forever."

Cardamom imitated my mother, put the flour and sesame seeds on the melted sugar, mixed well and spread it on the table to make it thin, and when it was waiting to cool, she said speechlessly, "Mother, I won't marry, so I will serve you at home." And my dad, not going anywhere."

"Look, this child is talking stupid again," Guihua and Chunjuan only thought she was joking, and they left her talking and laughing, and they had a heated discussion about what their future son-in-law would look like.

"It has to be well-groomed."

"Yes, I have to think about your big cow who knows how to hurt people."

Chunjuan raised her head and thought for a while, then said with a smile, "The most important thing is, it has to be something that we, Cardamom, like. Don't you think so, Cardamom?"

Cardamom took a knife to cut the cold dough, pretending not to hear.

"Mother, is it time to fry it in the oil pan?" Cardamom grabbed the diamond-shaped fruit and put it into the boiling oil to fry it until golden brown.

It was the first time to make cardamom, but it could only be cut into diamond shapes. Niang and Chunjuan concubine kneaded the dough into various patterns related to the legend of Qixi Festival, which were very beautiful.

At noon, Bai Xinghe brought his guards to find them.

Xiao Jiu was playing hide-and-seek with her little earth dog. As soon as Bai Xinghe approached the door, Xiao Huang rushed out and howled at them. Because of his small size, Bai Xinghe laughed for a long time.

"Bad brother, Xiao Jiu's dog is the cutest." Xiao Jiu pouted and refused to accept the fruit that Bai Xinghe bribed her, turned her little head to the side and snorted, "Brother is so bad, Xiao Jiu will not marry in the future For someone like Bad Brother."

My sister said that to get married is to give the fruit to another person to eat, and she doesn't want to give the fruit to the bad guys who make fun of her dog.

The guards wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and went into the yard sullenly.

Anping was preparing the flower melon for the evening, when he saw Bai Xinghe coming in, he hurriedly greeted him.

"You guys didn't say a word when you left last time, so I can borrow a carriage to take you there."

Cough cough, Bai Xinghe coughed a few times and looked down at Anping in embarrassment.

"I had something urgent to leave that day, and I didn't tell my uncle. I came to apologize this time," Bai Xinghe said while coughing, gave the guards behind him a look and asked them softly, "Is this excuse okay? ?”

The guards sighed, almost wanting to close their eyes so as not to watch this embarrassing scene.

Anping was taken aback by his enthusiasm. He hadn't heard of anyone who made a special trip to apologize for this kind of thing, and he was carrying large and small bags, which almost filled his yard.

Bai Xinghe laughed dryly, and asked, "Is Miss Cardamom at home?"

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the recent medicinal materials?" Anping looked at the boy nervously.

"No, no, there is no problem with the medicinal materials, and they are of high quality."

Only then did Anping feel relieved, and pointed to the kitchen with a smile, "The girl and her mother are making Qiqiao fruit in the kitchen, I'll call her for you."

In the kitchen?
Bai Xinghe stared at that place with bright eyes, and licked his lips.

Do Qiqiao fruit?
It must be delicious, Bai Xinghe hurriedly raised his hand to prepare for Anping's words, "Uncle, you are busy with your work, I will go by myself."

The guards looked at each other in blank dismay, their master was a master who had to be brought to his mouth when he drank tea, but here he did everything by himself.

"If we meet the young master, what should we say?"

"That's right, the Eldest Young Master asked the Second Master to come out and practice his mind."

A few people stared at the second master who was busy in the kitchen and had no airs, and said worriedly, "Our second master's going to the kitchen can be regarded as a kind of experience, right?"

Those who said this felt guilty, and those who heard it were even more so. They dared not look directly at the appearance of their second master, Che Lang.

"Master Bai, the kitchen is not the place for you guys to come. You can go outside. I'll make cardamom pack some for you to try later." Osmanthus fragrans smiled and asked cardamom to pack fruit for him.

When the guards heard this, they rushed over and almost knelt down to the sweet-scented osmanthus, "Sister-in-law, you can let our second master help here, otherwise he will have to light the kitchen again when he goes back. He has ordered twice in the past few days." gone."
