Rebirth Farmhouse

Chapter 328

The spring is bright and beautiful, Xiuyao stands by the river and looks at him.

Calamus is like a sword, blue waves and blue sky.

Yellow and tender willow buds bulge on the soft branches of willows, the river is clear and vast, groups of white geese swim leisurely, and early wildflowers bloom by the river in the spring breeze.

His voice is also so clear and soft, as if it blends in with the surroundings.

"Yaoyao, don't worry, I won't go far, it's near the warehouse, Xiaoqi and the others are responsible for going to sea."

"...I'm going to get married, and I have to prepare some things as a dowry."

"What is customary, what is special, I want you to have an unforgettable wedding..."

No matter what Xiuyao said, he had a reason, so Xiuyao could only sigh, "Okay, you go, just don't go too far, if you miss the wedding date, I won't wait for you."

Qi Feng smiled slightly, "Okay, don't wait for me, you can come to my house on your own initiative when the time comes."

"You are so beautiful." Xiuyao coquettishly said that he was going to leave, but she couldn't help being reluctant to part, revealing her true feelings.

"Don't be reluctant to spend money outside, don't wrong yourself, bring more meat and vegetables, and read more books when you have time."

"Well, I won't look for women like them." Qi Feng smiled slightly, saying the most important and fundamental thing.

Xiuyao blushed, and glared at him, "Be serious."

Qi Feng said aggrievedly: "Yaoyao, I'm very serious. They think I'm too serious. If you say I'm so serious, you might think I'm boring." After finishing speaking, he looked at her and looked at her face.

The girl's cheeks were rosy and delicate, with a unique luster, which made his heart flutter.

Xiuyao glanced at him and snorted, "Are you serious? If you were serious, no one would be serious."

Before we got married, he stared at her lewdly. He had kissed countless times. She felt that his breathing was short of breath. She quickly backed away and said loudly, "Let's go home and eat."

This is by the small river, there are many children who come here to pick eggs and play, if they see the two of them kissing here, then wait for them to make up nursery rhymes, she will lose face.

At the door of the house, she threw him a ring, "This is an engagement ring, you can wear it, don't take it off casually."

Then ran away.

Since Qi Feng left, there have been letters coming in on a regular basis, and it seems that the signature is about five days.Tell her where he has been, what interesting things, local customs, what good shops he saw, etc., will tell her.

But Xiuyao and He were very busy, so they didn't find it difficult.

In the blink of an eye, during the wheat harvest season, Xiuyao's family no longer has to personally participate in the labor, but Qin Dafu and the Liu family are used to being busy, even if they don't go to the field, they still have to stay at home to see how the harvest is, what hardships the tenants have, and which family needs help Yes, what to borrow and so on.

The duo of Huobao was a little depressed because of missing their hometown, and they couldn't lift their spirits. Xiuyao couldn't bear to see it.Now her several small kilns have mature technology, and they are all in charge of fixed kiln workers. The duo of Huobao are consultants and technicians. When they are not so busy, they start to think wildly.Today they want to go back to their hometown, tomorrow they want to visit the capital, and the day after tomorrow they want to take root here, marry a wife and have children... In a few days, they will miss bread.

Although there are scones on fire here, they are tired of eating crooked, and they miss beer bread.

With Qi Feng gone, Xiuyao has to take on the job of comforting them psychologically, lest the two of them live uncomfortable and feel alienated.

"Dabao, Erbao, let's make bread today."

As it is so hot today, the noodles are easy to rise, making bread is the best.

As for the butter, you can ignore it. Anyway, her family also raises cows, and milk is enough. Even if there is no butter, milk is bread, and the two of them are acceptable.

Xiuyao enlisted the help of four cooks. Under her command, they kneaded the dough and made hundreds of croissants.

Everything is ready, only the oven is missing.

Xiuyao instructed someone to brush egg yolk on the bread, and then she said to the duo who closed their eyes and sniffed hard with their noses, saying, "We don't have an oven, so we can only use the small kiln." , As for how strong the firepower is and how high the temperature is, you can master it and see if we can bake delicious bread."

The two jumped up excitedly, they are good at this.

The small kiln mouth is usually used to burn some delicate things. They even tried baking cakes in it. As long as the charcoal fire is not filled up, it can be used to bake bread.

The two pulled Xiuyao and rushed over excitedly, commanding people to add charcoal, and then pulled it with long furnace hooks, estimating the firepower, and pulled out the excess charcoal, leaving only a small part.

It was estimated that it was almost there, so I put the bread on a copper plate, supported it with a shelf, and put it in the "oven".

Soon, they smelled the unique aroma of baking bread, and the two were arguing over how much time was right.

One says that the heating is uneven, and it takes a little longer, and the other says that the temperature is high, and it takes a little longer.

While arguing, Xiuyao washed her face, fanned the wind and shouted: "Hurry up, I smell the paste!"

The two hurriedly dragged the copper plate out, and when they saw it, alas, some of them were directly burnt into coke, and some of them were black, but there were also a few half of them golden in color, which looked extraordinarily beautiful. .

"Yo, yo, strange, strange! Cut every scene..." Dabao was so excited that he stretched out his hairy paws to grab it. The steaming bread was so hot that he quickly pinched his fingers on Erbao's ear Come on, keep shouting.

Xiuyao asked someone to bring milk, and there was also rare cheese, which was sent by Feng's family.

The two of them were not afraid of being hot, and while hissing, they tore the bread and soaked it in milk to eat with relish.While eating, he yelled: "Okay, okay, this is the taste..."

Xiuyao couldn't help but also ate a piece. Although the taste was not bad, it was still much worse than real bread and needed to be improved urgently.

After they had eaten enough and gained strength, the two of them happily tried to bake bread.

After a whole day, they were finally able to bake golden and fluffy bread. Besides bread, they could even bake other things. They also roasted roasted chicken and roasted duck. This was pretty good. Xiuyao felt that it could be compared with some modern chefs.

The two Huobao ordered their mason master to help them build three ovens of different sizes, which are naturally better than the glass kiln. Since then, they have bread to eat, and they keep saying that this is their second hometown. .

Xiuyao promises that when Qi Feng comes back, she will support them to travel to the capital in two years, and they can also open a bakery there. If someone buys it, they will sell it, and if no one buys it, they will eat it by themselves. The two happily said Xiuyao is Santa Claus.

On this day, Xiuyao and Xiuli sent Xiurong to the nunnery to listen to the scriptures. They also gave the host some bread, and then brought some to pick up Qin Xian.

In the past few days, the school administration press conference is approaching, and the students are taking the college examination, and today is the day when the re-examination ends.

Several people picked up Qin Xian outside the county school, and he came out staggeringly, with a pale complexion and a look of despair.

Everyone knew from his expression that something might be wrong, so they didn't dare to ask him, so Xiuyao gave him bread.

"Second brother, we made it with live treasures. It's delicious. You can eat it."

Qin Xian has been studying in the county recently, so busy that he doesn't know anything, and he has never eaten this bread.

Qin Xian paled, "If I don't eat, what face do I have?"

Xiuyao comforted him, "Second brother, if you don't pass it, you can pass it, you can take the exam next time."

Qin Xian wrinkled his face in pain, "What if it doesn't work again next time? They mean to study politics so that I don't have to take the exam. Me, why am I so useless!"

He pulled his hair, ran away with his head in his arms, Xiuyao was a little startled, and hurried to catch up.

This time, Qin Xian and Zhou Mu took the exam together. Zhou Mu passed the county exam, but failed the government exam. Qin Xian still took the county exam, but did not pass the college exam, and it seemed that the school administration made comments on the spot him?Otherwise, how could he say such things.

Xiuyao thought for a while, then ordered someone to inquire, and when she came back she said yes.

This time the second brother did the paper quickly, maybe because he felt good, so he handed in the paper earlier, and let Xuezheng comment on it by the way.

After Xuezheng finished reading the paper, he shook his head on the spot and didn't say much, Qin Xian knew that he couldn't pass.

Qin Xian didn't pass the exam, so he began to doubt himself, maybe he wasn't suitable for the exam, but he felt that it was a drop in price to let him do business with him. As a scholar, he really couldn't hold his head up in doing business like Qin Chan.

But now he doesn't have the same temper as before, and he doesn't dare to make trouble with everyone. After all, the family has provided him with education for the past few years, and he hasn't done anything.

It's just that he felt so strange in his heart, Yang Yang and himself were brothers, why he could hit himself but not himself.Could it be that he is so much stupid than Yang Yang?He can still hear what Liu Shi told him back then. She said that the eldest brother is not bad, and his reading skills may not be worse than others, but she refuses to let him study. Does mother also think that she is not good enough?

But I still clamored to study, saying that I would definitely pass the exam.

As a result, it has been several times, and I am not that material at all.

He began to deny himself, so he locked himself in the room, refused to eat or drink, and refused to see people.

Everyone went to him and persuaded him. He thought they were just watching the fun, and then Liu said to let him think about it for himself, and let everyone go about their own business and ignore him. He felt that everyone thought he was useless, so he didn't want to care about him.

He even felt that it was superfluous for him to live. Now that his family was so good, it was no different if he had himself or not.

The big brother supports the family business, the younger brother shines at the lintel, even the younger sister is much better than herself.

What else can I do?

He felt extremely uncomfortable, so he started to run away from home and wandered outside. At first, Mrs. Liu asked people to find him, but he looked like a broken jar and refused to go home.Mrs. Liu got angry, and no one was allowed to go to him to see what kind of flowers he could make.

Just when Qin Xian was making trouble, the imperial court issued an edict to add the rural examination Enke this year, because the emperor was happy to have a son.

The current emperor is now in his thirties, but he has never had any heirs. This year, he actually got a son of a dragon, and he was immediately named the prince.At the same time, the Holy Spirit ordered the amnesty of the world, and added Enke, and the whole world celebrated together. At that time, countless people from the people rushed to get married this year. Even the few households in Taoyuan Village who originally thought about getting married in the next year also moved forward for this year, just for the sake of getting married. Enjoy the joy of the royal family, and let your family have a precious son in the coming year.

In this way, Qin Yang and Feng Haoran can take part in the provincial examination again this year.

Qin Yang was eager to try, full of ambition, and announced to his family: "I must pass the exam this year, otherwise I will not take the exam in the future!"

He was holding his breath, but he couldn't let that guy Li Sibian laugh at him!

Feng Haoran suggested, "Brother Yang, why don't we go to Jinan to study, so that we don't have to go back and forth, so as not to spend time on the road and affect the mood of studying."

Feng Haoran also tried his best to win the exam, and even if he didn't win, it would be another chance. The family couldn't afford the money, so why miss it.

Now the Qin family also has a shop in Jinan, so it's not troublesome to go there.

Xiuyao also thought it was a good idea. After all, the family had a lot of seeing-offs and seeing-offs. If Qin Yang could go to Jinan Mansion to study, he could concentrate on his studies and make friends with some scholars. It would also be good for him to take the imperial examination.

It's just that who is suitable to supervise, parents are definitely not suitable, they still have to guard at home, not even older brothers and sisters-in-law, and family affairs cannot be left behind.However, there are people in my grandma’s house who can be free. Now grandpa and grandma don’t have to work in person, just enjoy the blessings at home. The uncle and the second uncle can bring people to manage the mill and the farm. The eldest cousin and sister-in-law can take Xiaozheng to Jinan.Liu Fei is literate, so he has to stay and help his uncle and second concubine take care of the Liu family's business, and second cousin Liu Sheng can also leave.Just look at the grandfather's house to let cousin Liu Qi or cousin Liu Sheng go.

Xiuyao shared her thoughts, and Liu and his wife immediately felt good about it.

Liu said: "I think your elder sister and elder brother-in-law should also go. Anyway, the business of Lao Bai's family is managed by the second house, and your elder sister and the others don't care about it. Going to Jinan can do something else."

Xiuyao immediately felt that it was a good idea to let the eldest sister's family go to Jinan, and her brother-in-law was not with her parents, and her cousin was restraining her, so he couldn't be too presumptuous.My sister left home, but she was able to learn to be more aggressive, and she pinched her brother-in-law, making him come up with some moths from time to time.

In addition, she felt that the second sister and second brother-in-law could also go, anyway, they are not the boss, and it is not much use to stay at home, so it is better to go out and make a living.

My aunt and the others can't do it. They are the only child and can't leave home.

Mrs. Liu also thought it was good, and immediately asked Xiuyao to write a letter to the two daughters' homes, asking them to discuss it with their parents-in-law first, and if they agreed, they would send a letter back and forth.The next day, she went back to her mother's house with Xiuyao, and discussed with Lao Liutou and others whether Liu Qi or Liu Sheng should go.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Chen family wanted Liu Zheng to study, and they thought it would be good if they went to Jinan, seeing the world would help them study, so they tended to let Liu Qi and his family go.

Yao shi wanted Liu Fei to go. As for his two sons, it would be good for one to go out and the other to stay.
