Chapter 24 Chapter 024 Poster and Offering Fairy.
"This little thing is amazing! Even hard wheat turns into powder when it's put into it?"
Qin Dali, too, gazed at the small stone mill in his granddaughter's hands with a profound emotion, his eyes also sparkling. As a man who had experienced famine, he knew full well that if this wheat could be turned into the flour his granddaughter had described, then how much more grain would be available without having to hull it...
"Hey, Grandpa, can I use your little stone mill?"
He was extremely curious about this thing at this moment.
"Then grandpa, please use it carefully~" Qin Yuan knew that this stone mill was not so easy to break, and even if it was taken apart, it could be reassembled. Toys made for children are usually like this, which can be easily disassembled and assembled. In this way, the Qin family can research the assembly of the stone mill.
"Don't worry, grandpa will be careful." Qin Dali promised, then squatted in front of the low table, then stretched out his hands that were as rough as weeping tree bark, and began to gently turn the small stone mill. Qin Yuan also helped, and her small fingers pinched the wheat and placed it in the center of the stone mill. After a while, a lot of yellow flour really came out.
However, Qin Yuan touched it and felt that the flour was not fine enough. She thought it would become finer if she ground it a few more times.
But even so, Qin Yu knew that wheat turned into wheat flour would be much easier to eat than before.
Liu Chunhua was also very excited and wanted to hug Qin Yuan. She thought her child prodigy was so amazing that he could even turn wheat into flour. In fact, there was still some white rice in the Zhang family's Feiyi, but now they had to eat the meat first. When the meat was almost eaten, the white rice would be Youyou's staple food. As a grandmother, how could she not see that Qin Yuan could not eat wheat?
Now that the wheat has been turned into flour, there is a way to make it for Yoyo to eat.
The three of them were very excited. Seeing that her father and grandmother were also very excited, Qin Yuan invited them to try grinding flour themselves, and they succeeded immediately.
"This little stone mill is too small, Grandpa, can you make a big one?"
She looked at her grandfather with burning eyes, believing that he had a way.
Qin Dali wanted to nod immediately, but he still looked at his wife. After all, he had just taken a look at the millstone and found some mechanisms on it. What if one of them was not done well and became useless?
Liu Chunhua came over and hugged Qin Yuan in her arms, then said.
"Why don't we just ask Old Qin to come over? Besides, we haven't seen Gou Zi for a long time. Gou Zi has Old Qin as his master, and once a master, always a father. This stone mill is a good thing. We can't see what it's made of, but Old Qin is a stonemason, so he must know how to make it. It won't hurt to let him do it."
There is a rule nowadays that craftsmen are not allowed to make things that the owner has given them to make.
Moreover, ever since her youngest son became his apprentice, Liu Chunhua has treated Old Qin as a family member.
"That's fine. Brother Qin is really capable. He will definitely be able to make this thing." Qin Dali also nodded, then looked at his granddaughter who was extremely expectant.
"Grandpa will go out and find Old Qin the Carpenter for you. When he comes to our house and takes a look at this stone mill, he will definitely be able to make it for Youyou."
It's just the right time to go out and look for someone. It only takes half an hour to go back and forth, and I can still have dinner with my family when I come back. It's great.
"Well, go ahead. And bring Carpenter Qin's daughter along too. We have an extra rat-skin coat at home, so we'll give it to the little girl."
Qin Dali nodded sullenly, then followed his wife's instructions and went out to look for someone.
As soon as Qin Dali left, people came to the door. They were the eldest brother Qin Shan, the second brother Qin Shu, and Qin Hu and Qin Xiong who came early in the morning to cook.
"Little Tiger, Little Bear, come in and cook. Big Mountain, Big Tree, come with me to my house."
Liu Chunhua remembered what her daughter-in-law had told her, so she stood up and went to her room while holding Qin Yuan. Qin Yu quickly picked up the charcoal brazier on the ground, and then went to his mother's room with his elder and second brothers.
Mom must have something to tell you.
After the three men entered the room, they made the whole room seem a little crowded.
While hugging her lovely granddaughter, Liu Chunhua went to the bedside cabinet and took out the letter written by her daughter-in-law yesterday, and then handed it to her third son.
"This is the letter your wife wrote yesterday. Today, the three of you brothers will go out and visit Magistrate Zhang's home in the county and hand this letter to him personally. Magistrate Zhang will take care of the rest. Don't destroy this letter, understand?"
When Qin Yu received the letter, he instinctively recognized the word "Xie". Xie Yaer taught the Qin family to learn to read. The children learned a lot, and the three men also knew a few words, but they were all names related to themselves.
"Don't worry, mother. I will never let anything happen to this letter."
He opened his clothes on his chest and put the letter close to his body. Qin Shan and Qin Shu remembered the day when they went to Zhang's house to have dinner. The food at Zhang's house was really good and the meat was delicious too.
"Even so, you should hurry up and don't leave any food at home. It's just right to eat in the county."
If you want to eat in this county, you naturally have to stay at Zhang's house. What kind of host would you be if you don't offer food to guests?
The three of them nodded immediately, and then followed their mother's instructions to tell the women at home first, and then went out together.
Qin Yuan listened from beginning to end. She knew that the letter her mother wrote was to thank the family of the main branch, so it was sent to County Magistrate Zhang's home today. County Magistrate Zhang would definitely entertain her uncle and father well, so she was very relieved.
Not long after the three brothers left, Qin Yuan was fed a mouthful of egg soup made with plain water by her grandmother. While she was feeling warm all over, she heard the sound of her grandfather bringing people home.
It just so happened that the brothers Qin Hu and Qin Xiong had prepared their meal, and when their family members came out to eat together, they happened to see Old Carpenter Qin coming back with his daughter and silly little brother.
The youngest son of the Qin family is only sixteen years old this year. He was given the derogatory name Qin Gouzi and has not changed his name yet.
At the beginning of this year, grandma sent this uncle out to learn a skill. He never returned home until winter, which made Qin Yuan think that the uncle went very far away. Unexpectedly, he was only a short walk from home.
"Brother Qin, come and try my Xiaohu's cooking skills. He loves to cook these." Qin Dali greeted the old Qin Jiang enthusiastically, which made Qin Yuan look curiously at the first strange old man she had seen in five years.
It's hard to tell the age of this old Qin Jiang, but he has wrinkles on his face. However, unlike his grandfather Qin Dali, he looks as strong as an ox. Even in winter, he only wears a thin layer of clothes, revealing half of his chest, and there are even lines on it... In modern times, he must have a body shape that fitness enthusiasts envy.
Look at the little girl sitting next to grandma. She has a face as white as a silver basin and is very cute. She and Old Carpenter Qin don’t look like father and daughter at all.
With guests present, everyone just ate quietly. During the entire meal, only the voices of the elders Qin Dali and Old Qin Jiang could be heard. After everyone finished eating, they left quietly.
Xie Yaer wanted to hold Qin Yuan in her arms all the time, but was snatched away by Liu Chunhua.
"You are weak, so just follow me. I will hold you."
After all, she was considerate of her daughter-in-law, so Xie Yaer immediately thanked her mother-in-law.
Everyone else in the family had something to do, and after breakfast they all went about their business. Suddenly, only Qin Dali and Old Qin Jiang were left in the living room. Even Old Qin Jiang's daughter was taken away to play.
"Brother Qin, to be honest, I invited you to my house today because I want you to make something. Do you think you can make it big?"
Qin Dali finally took out the stone mill. If he were to make this thing, he would probably have to take apart his granddaughter's little gadget to have a look. But it was different for Old Carpenter Qin. He was a stonemason and could make many tools with stone. Moreover, most stonemasons knew some carpentry, which was better than those of them who made a living by digging in the fields.
As soon as the old Qin carpenter Qin Shi saw the little round thing, he reached out his hand, then held up the small stone mill with both hands and began to study it with a serious expression. Then, without Qin Yuan reminding him, he actually discovered that the stone mill could rotate, and his eyes became brighter and brighter...
“This thing… this thing is a good thing!!!”
Qin Shi turned the millstone and saw the wheat flour left on it. He actually guessed what this thing was used for, but the Qin family didn't mention it, and he didn't say much, just said.
"This thing is very easy to make. You just need to choose the right stone and polish it by hand. But how big can it be?"
He took a look at it twice and was able to make it?
Qin Yuan was extremely shocked. Even though she didn't say anything, she stared at the grandfather with her eyes wide open. She felt that the wisdom of the ancients was not something that modern people could underestimate. She originally thought that she had to take the stone mill apart to see what was going on, but it turned out that he knew how to do it after just turning it twice?
"Then I'll trouble you, Brother Qin. For now, I'll make a smaller one that can be used by women. If there's good stone, my three sons will come back tonight and help you make a bigger stone mill. You can put it in my yard."
"Leave it to me." Qin Shi patted his chest and added.
"This thing is called a stone mill? It's a good name indeed. I can make a small stone mill in two days, but the large stone mill depends on the size. With the help of your three sons, it can be made within three days."
The most important thing for doing this is stone, but Qin Shi is a stonemason, and his family has no shortage of various stones. The cheapest bluestone can be used for this, but it takes some effort.
"Then I'll trouble you, Brother Qin. Once this thing is finished, I will personally invite you to see its wonders."
Qin Dali knew that he could not hide the matter of the stone mill from Qin Shi, and he did not want to hide it. Sure enough, he received an appreciative look from Qin Shi.
You should know that Qin Gouzi went to Qin Shi's house to be an apprentice. On the surface, he was an apprentice, but in fact, he had discussed it with Liu Chunhua and others in private. Qin Gouzi was going to be a child husband, and in the future he would marry into Qin Shi's family and become a son-in-law. So Qin Shi was a master on the surface, but in fact he was Qin Gouzi's father-in-law, and he had a perfect in-law relationship with Qin Dali.
Otherwise, Qin Shi would rather keep his stone carving skills to himself and never teach them to an outsider.
"Then I have to work faster. Gouzi has learned a lot from me this year. This stone mill is simple and he can do it by himself. He will be a good helper to me."
Qin Shi praised his apprentice, and Qin Dali and Liu Chunhua both smiled.
Xie Yaer saw through the trick, but Qin Yuan didn't know. She was foolishly happy, thinking that the ancients were amazing! They could learn anything at a glance!
The Zhang family in the county town once again welcomed three people from the Qin family.
This time, the doorman didn't dare to let people wait outside. He invited people directly to the main hall and served tea. Then County Magistrate Zhang came over.
The three Qin brothers were not good at speaking, so Qin Yu handed the letter directly to County Magistrate Zhang without saying anything. County Magistrate Zhang just lowered his head to look at the word "Thank you" on it and immediately understood what it meant.
This letter...was asked by the young lady of the Xie family to be delivered to the Xie family in the capital!!!
Magistrate Zhang quickly arranged for the three of them to stay at the Zhang residence for dinner. He then quickly sent the letter to the Xie family in the capital via the Zhang family's messenger, requesting it be delivered as quickly as possible. As for what was written inside the envelope, Magistrate Zhang knew it must be something that would help him get promoted...
The Zhang family's messenger left with the letter, and Qin Yuan called her daughter again.
"Huanhuan, you don't know, that stonemason is amazing! He knows what to do just by looking at the millstone!"
Qin Yuan couldn't help but praise Old Craftsman Qin in front of her daughter. She didn't know how popular talented people with special skills were in the Great Yong Dynasty. If Old Craftsman Qin had only one daughter and his wife died early, he would never have passed on his skills to others.
"Many ancient people were quite clever. Some of the things they made cannot be imitated even with our modern technology."
Qin Huan agreed with this idea very much. For example, if a modern person went to ancient times and wanted to get rich quickly, that would really be a fantasy. The world of ancient people had more relationships and classes than the world of modern people, and one person could never break through. Just like what his mother said, the aristocratic class of the Yong Dynasty.
"That's right. This way I can ask my family to help with some things later. At least I can change the people in the village a little bit. Huanhuan, I didn't pay attention to people outside the Qin family before. This year, I heard from grandma that the snow fell early and heavily. It's only November now. If it gets really cold, I'm afraid everyone in Qinjia Village will freeze to death. If I had a stone mill, flour, and could make tofu, I could use my mother's reputation to sell it and make a lot of money. At least... no one in the village would die."
The Qin family members will be Qin Yuan's supporters in the future, so she has already planned in advance to help the villagers get through this winter.
"Mom, you can do it! I believe in you. If you need anything, just tell me and I will send it to you!"
Qin Huan believed in Qin Yuan's ability, and she also knew that her mother must have her reasons for doing this, but she still mentioned the happy things.
"Mom, have you seen that? Express delivery can now send two kilograms of goods at a time! And this is with a three-day check-in! If we continue to check in, maybe it can be increased! That way we can deliver more things."
Of course Qin Yuan saw it, and now she smiled when she saw her daughter's joyful expression in the video.
"I saw that too. We must remember to sign in every day. But if there's a chance, I'd really like to watch the TV series you're filming. I never thought my daughter could become a big star!"
She was really looking forward to it, which made Qin Huan feel a little embarrassed. She had asked her assistant Zhang Jiajia to print out a lot of her stills. Since her mother said she wanted to see them, she planned to express them to her mother, but now she felt a little shy.
Qin Yuan could tell from her daughter's shy look that she spoke in surprise.
"Huanhuan, did you listen to Mom and go find some stills of you for her? Are there any posters? Postcards would be even better! I remember you were a fan of celebrities back in high school. The most popular thing was to print celebrities' faces on all kinds of things, like wallets, fans, and even that little piece of metal called a baji?"
Fashionable mother Qin Yuan's modern memories finally came back to her, and she immediately asked to see her daughter's peripheral products.
Compared to eating and drinking, Qin Yuan’s favorite thing is to know how her daughter is doing as a star in recent years and to see her daughter’s grace in front of the camera.
"...Mom, do you still remember these? But I stopped chasing stars after I entered the entertainment industry." Qin Huan's cheeks were still slightly red, and she felt embarrassed. After all, although she became a star, she had not yet developed the narcissistic look of some stars.
"Did you meet your idol? I remember you liked that male star back then. What was his name? It was...Sun Yebin, a singing and dancing star!"
Everything about her daughter is always vivid in her mind. Qin Yuan even remembers the name of the male star her daughter is chasing.
Qin Huan was surprised and shy about this.
"Mom, do you still remember him? He actually fell out of favor. The year after you fell asleep, he was exposed for sleeping with his fans, so I stopped being a fan too."
Qin Huan didn't tell her mother that ever since her mother's accident, she had no interest in having fun and had given up on things like chasing stars.
"Sleeping with fans? That's too much. I remember that many of his idols were teenage girls. Oh my god, I'm glad you don't like him anymore. Are you not hiding away crying?"
She is still the first one to care about her daughter. When Qin Huan was in high school, it was Qin Yuan who took Qin Huan to watch Sun Yebin's first concert after his debut. At that time, the concert tickets were sold at a sky-high price. Even if they were not front-stage tickets, they cost 5,000 yuan. Qin Yuan only bought tickets for her daughter and waited outside for her daughter to finish watching. Now, when she heard about the male star's scandal, she was still worried that her daughter was sad at the time and she couldn't be with her.
"Mom~" Qin Huan said coquettishly, "I actually already had a little fame in the entertainment industry at that time!"
Qin Huan made a gesture of pinching his thumb and index finger, and lost the Korean market.
"When I went to the crew, Son Ye-bin also came to make a cameo appearance in order to transform himself. I saw him sitting on a chair and bullying his assistant. Not only did he make the assistant kneel on the ground to put on his shoes, but he also poured hot coffee on the assistant. At that time, the assistant's hair and neck were red with pain. Then I stopped being a fan before his reputation was exposed."
When the male star's reputation was ruined, his assistant even stepped in to take responsibility.
"That's good, that's good. My daughter is smart. You can't just look at someone who looks good on the outside. You can't like them if they're rotten inside."
Qin Yuan said this, but she would not guess whether Qin Huan had a boyfriend. Just having a vegetative mother like herself lying in the ward was enough to make her daughter tired. How could her daughter have a boyfriend?
"Yeah, so I'm not sad at all. I've met so many male celebrities in the entertainment industry, and each one is more handsome than the other. It's just that everyone looks glamorous and has a bad temper behind the scenes, so I don't have any opinions about these people."
These words cannot be told to other people, but there is no problem telling her mother. Qin Huan mentioned several male stars she had worked with and complained about their bad habits, which made Qin Yuan listen with great interest. The mother and daughter felt as close as if they had returned to Qin Huan's high school days.
Time flies the fastest when gossip is going on. Qin Yuan's eyes were shining with excitement as she listened to her daughter talking about celebrity gossip. However, thirty minutes was too short, so Qin Yuan hurriedly said.
"You must show me your photo merchandise in today's delivery! Mommy misses you so much! I have to see it!"
She made the request, and Qin Huan quickly nodded and spoke in the last two minutes.
"Then you can send me anything you want, mom. I don't mind."
After the two of them finished talking, the 30-minute call ended, leaving Qin Yuan holding the phone with a feeling of loss.
However, Qin Yuan was only sad for a few minutes before she immediately heard a message on her cell phone.
[Ding Dong! Your daughter Qin Huan has sent you a package. Please accept it as soon as possible. It will be returned within 24 hours.]
Qin Yuan couldn't wait to click to accept the express delivery.
The next second, a huge box appeared in front of Qin Yuan. It seemed that her daughter had carefully prepared it over the past few days.
At this time, she and her mother Xie Yaer were both in their bedroom. Xie Yaer was not even surprised to see these things. She just glanced at them and then continued to sew socks for her daughter. She would only look if her daughter wanted her to know.
Qin Yuan almost couldn't wait to open the square box in front of her, and then she saw her beautiful daughter inside!!!
What almost caught her eye was an excellent rectangular postcard wrapped in plastic film. Qin Yuan carefully reached out her hand and took out the postcard. She saw the daughter on the postcard had carefully groomed black curly hair, a jade-white face with eyelashes that could be clearly seen, a pair of peach blossom eyes that seemed to be looking through the postcard with a smile, and red lips that added a charming aura to her. She was wearing a red suspender skirt and the jewelry on her neck was huge. She must be playing the role of a rich girl.
This was the daughter Qin Yuan had never seen before, and her eyes lit up.
Wow! This emerald necklace really suits my daughter! I'm definitely going to get one custom-made for her someday! And a matching pair of earrings!
Qin Yuan was almost reluctant to take her eyes off the postcard. She looked at it for a long time before reluctantly changing to another one. The picture she saw then shocked her as a mother!
In the next sealed postcard, Qin Huan, dressed in a fairy-like white gauze dress, exudes a beauty like a lotus emerging from clear water. This photo, in particular, seems to be from the drama. Her peach blossom eyes look at me pitifully, and her cold and aloof temperament becomes a little endearing. Oh my god! So cute!!!
Qin Yuan's heart trembled at her daughter's fairy-like appearance. She couldn't wait to look at the next picture. Then she saw what seemed to be the same clothes, but this time it was black! It seemed like... darkening?
The black gauze skirt looks very beautiful on Qin Huan. The original fairy-like decoration has now been replaced with the same ruby series. She is very flamboyant, with hatred in her eyes, but she is as noble as the bright moon in the sky, making people feel out of reach.
This is so pretty too!!! It looks like it’s from a TV show!!!
Qin Yuan was so excited that she kept flipping through the peripherals that Zhang Jiajia had found. In addition to postcards, there were posters, peripheral fans, and even a ceramic doll of the fairy Qin Huan, which looked so adorable!
During the five years she missed, her daughter ventured into the entertainment industry alone, leaving behind these beautiful characters. Qin Yuan really wanted to see them...
She was looking forward to it, but she was surprised when her cell phone dinged.
[Ding Dong! The [Star Development] app is now open. Please explore it on your own.]
Qin Yuan quickly pulled out her phone and discovered there was indeed a new app. It was called "Star Development," and the profile picture was a still from a TV series featuring her daughter, Qin Huan! It was that little fairy!
She clicked on the APP directly, and the next second, she entered the APP. What caught her eye were many locked areas, including a locked Weibo area, a locked Douyin area, a locked Hongshu area, and a locked Douban area.
The only open area is the video area.
Qin Yuan clicked on it immediately, and the next second, she saw the titles of various TV series with her daughter as the cover.
The 18-year-old Substitute Lover of the Overbearing President???
I'm a ruthless CEO and I gave birth to three children in one pregnancy???
"Marrying the Dragon Prince"???
My dear daughter, what kind of crappy dramas have you been filming behind your mother's back? Just looking at the titles of these dramas, they're really something special!
So…during the five years I was in a coma, everyone liked this kind of TV show???
She felt strange, but Qin Yuan couldn't help but turn on her daughter's first TV series...
That's right, Qin Yuan was lucky enough to choose Qin Huan's first debut drama, "The 18-Year-Old Substitute Lover of the Overbearing Boss." In this drama, Qin Huan wasn't even considered a supporting actress, but just a guest star. So when Qin Yuan turned on the TV series, she found that the opening scene was the 18-year-old female protagonist who had just entered college. She was helping the club distribute flyers at school and then bumped into the male protagonist...
To be honest, although the name of this drama is shocking, the heroine is pure, cute and lively, and the hero is 1.8 meters tall with long legs and an imposing aura, which made Qin Yuan, who hadn't watched a TV drama for five years, immediately immersed in the drama.
As a result, in this episode, we saw that the heroine asked the hero out for coffee in order to compensate him for his clothes. As a result, she found out that her boyfriend was cheating on her, so she dragged the hero to pretend to be her boyfriend and slap her ex-boyfriend in the face. The plot seemed okay, but I didn’t expect that when the two separated and the hero returned home, Qin Yuan saw her baby daughter appear and kissed her!
Yes, Qin Huan did not appear in real life, but after the male protagonist returned home, he picked up Qin Huan's photo, which clearly showed a bright and beautiful woman with a sweet smile. Then the male protagonist said with a nostalgic look on his face - I met a girl who looks very much like you today.
...Is the male protagonist blind?
Qin Yuan drags the progress bar forward, takes a look at the lively and cheerful pure little white flower heroine, and then looks at the bright and beautiful female supporting role played by her own daughter. The male protagonist must be blind to think these two people are very similar? ? ?
However, for the sake of her daughter, Qin Yuan still insisted on watching it, but she was tired at this moment, so she turned off the video.
Thinking that she had not sent anything to her daughter today, Qin Yuan sent her favorite Jiangnan Magpie bracelet.
The daughter said that she should not be short of money these days. This bracelet is so beautiful. Qin Yuan believes that her daughter will like it and will definitely not sell it.
After delivering the bracelet to her daughter, Qin Yuan looked at the photos of her daughter in front of her, picked out the fairy-like photos of her daughter, and then kept a cute little ceramic peripheral. She decided to see if she could ask her daughter to deliver a pillow to her tomorrow, so that she could hug her daughter to sleep every day!
She clicked on the phone and stored the remaining items in [Mother and Daughter Express]. Sure enough, the things in front of her disappeared. This was also the function Qin Yuan discovered yesterday. As long as the items were delivered by her and Huanhuan, they could be temporarily stored in [Mother and Daughter Express]. This thing is simply equivalent to a small space.
After doing all this, she took her daughter's poster and called her mother.
"Mother! Look at the little fairy!"
Xie Yaer was originally working with her head down, but when she heard her daughter calling her, she immediately looked up. Then she saw her daughter holding up a painting that looked like a real person with a proud smile on her face. The woman in the painting was wearing a white gauze fairy dress, and she looked like an ethereal being, not like a mortal. Just one glance made people feel as if the fairy in the painting was about to walk out.
"Is this... is this your fairy friend, Yoyo?"
Even though Xie Yaer was knowledgeable and experienced, she had never seen a woman with such an ethereal appearance. The fairy in the painting was lifelike, and the layers of her gauze skirt could be seen clearly. If it weren't for her rosy skirt and moon-covered cape, how could the Weaver Girl weave such thin cloth?
The fairy in this painting is otherworldly and untainted by dust, and truly looks like someone living in the Moon Palace.
"Yes, mother, don't you think she is very beautiful?" Qin Yuan saw the surprise in her mother's eyes at a glance, and felt happy in her heart. After all, this was her most beloved daughter. Of course, she was very happy that someone liked her.
"This fairy's appearance is like Chang'e in the moon. It is true that only fairies above the nine heavens can have such a face."
And the painting in her daughter's hand looked so much like a real person standing in front of people, which made Xie Yaer dare not peek at the fairy's face. Her eyes drooped with a bit of respect and admiration.
"Yeah, she is just so beautiful." Qin Yuan was even happier. When she thought about her daughter being considered as Chang'e in the moon, she was so happy that she couldn't contain herself. Then she put forward her own idea.
"Mom, can I hang this fairy portrait at home? Then I can see my little fairy every day."
This is what it means to be a fan, to hang posters of your idol on the walls of your own bedroom. Unfortunately, Qin Yuan doesn’t have her own bedroom now.
When Xie Yaer heard that they wanted to offer sacrifices to the fairies, she nodded immediately.
"Of course you can. Don't worry, I'll discuss with your grandmother and clear out a room in our house to enshrine the fairy."
ah?
Qin Yuan didn't expect her mother to be like this... She just wanted to hang her daughter's poster on the wall and look at it every day.
But seeing her mother so serious, Qin Yuan couldn't say much and could only nod.
"Okay, but don't offer anything. If she wants to eat or use anything, just give it to me, mother. I can give it to her."
Xie Yaer felt relieved now and nodded. Unexpectedly, her daughter took out another small ceramic figurine.
When she looked closely, she found that the little figure was exactly the same as the fairy, except that the shrunken figure became more delicate and looked like a ceramic figure. This made Xie Yaer believe that her daughter's fairy friend must be extraordinary!
You know, statues of people are not allowed. Only Buddhist temples and Taoist temples have statues of immortals and bodhisattvas. The fairy statue in my daughter's hand is so lifelike, and the colors are so beautiful that it doesn't seem like something a mortal can make. It seems that my daughter's fairy friend has a very important background. My daughter must have been a free and easy little fairy in the heavenly palace, but she had to fall into the mortal world like them...
"I saw that Jiangnan Magpie is gone. Youyou gave it to your friend, right? She likes gold and silver things."
Xie Yaer asked her daughter about it, thinking that if she offered more of the fairy's favorite items to her in the future, her daughter would stay in the mortal world longer and she could take better care of her.
"Yeah, she likes gold, silver, jade, and other things, so I'm going to make a lot of money to buy her gifts in the future!" Qin Yuan nodded immediately. Who doesn't like gold and silver these days? Jade and other things are difficult to control, but who doesn't like the glittering gold?
"Don't worry, I will definitely find you a lot of gold and silver to offer to the fairy."
Xie Yaer had already made the decision, and then she carried Qin Yuan to find her mother-in-law. Sure enough, when Liu Chunhua saw Qin Huan's poster, she almost knelt down. Fortunately, Qin Yuan immediately said that her fairy friend didn't like to be worshipped, and then she stopped her grandmother.
Finally, the poster was placed in the study. Under Qin Yuan's instruction, the eldest cousin Qin Niu Niu made something like a photo frame out of wood, and then successfully hung the poster in the most conspicuous place in the study. Even Qin Yuan, a shorty, could see her daughter on it as soon as she entered the room.
The eldest aunt Wang Pandi and the second aunt Zhou Yan also came over and saw the fairy picture. They were so scared that they wanted to kneel down, but fortunately they were stopped by Liu Chunhua. After this, the Qin family believed even more in the power of Qin Yuan, the child prodigy, without Liu Chunhua saying anything.
Before dinner, everyone in the family knew that their prodigy had brought down the portrait of his fairy friend to the human world and was enshrining it in the study. However, the fairy didn't need them to kneel down and offer sacrifices; she just wanted to see Yoyo every day.
The three men from the Qin family who went to the Zhang family also came back. After having dinner together, they heard what their wives said in their bedrooms.
"Yoyo is really a child prodigy. She actually brought the portrait of the fairy from heaven down to the mortal world. Dashan, our family will definitely live a good life in the future." Wang Pandi just lay down on the bed and whispered this in her husband's ear.
None of the men in the family had ever been to the study. According to Liu Chunhua, the fairy had a divine face and mortal men were not allowed to offend her. Therefore, the study was now dedicated to the fairy, and only the women in the family could enter. Even the brothers Qin Niu Niu and Qin Hu were not allowed to see the poster.
"What happened today?" Qin Shan also became curious. During dinner, he only heard his mother say that men were not allowed to enter the study room from now on. Qin Shan did not think much about it. After all, the study room was where his sister-in-law taught, and they would not offend.
"Yes, there really is a fairy enshrined in the study now. You didn't see it. I've never seen such a realistic painting. It's as if the fairy is looking at me from the painting. Anyway, we'll just listen to whatever Youyou says from now on. She hasn't had an easy time these past five years. She was such a good fairy in heaven, but she ended up in this suffering mortal world. It's pitiful..."
Wang Pandi really believed in the story of the child prodigy. At that time, Xie Yaer had just given birth, and Wang Pandi took care of Xie Yaer during the confinement period. Zhou Yan from the second room happened to have a three-year-old son who had a lot of milk, so she held Youyou to feed him. But Youyou refused to eat and persisted for several days, almost starving herself to death. If it weren't for his sister-in-law who saw this scene and cried to death, she was afraid that Youyou would starve herself to death.
During these five years, Wang Pandi and Zhou Yan helped take care of Qin Yuan every day. Someone was watching Qin Yuan day and night, and they didn't dare to close their eyes for fear that something might happen.
The most important thing is that the baby's eyes are very clear. Wang Pandi has given birth to three children, and it can be seen that babies look stupid, but when Yoyo was born, his eyes were like an adult's, which naturally made people believe that he was a child prodigy.
"We will do our best to let Youyou live a good life in the future. It is fate that Youyou was born into our family. But don't talk too much when you go out."
Qin Shan explained this to his wife seriously, and Wang Pandi naturally didn't say much. She had severed ties with her natal family and finally had a good life in the Qin family. She wouldn't tell anyone that she had a precious child! If people knew about it, what would happen if someone snatched her away?
The second house had almost the same words. Zhou Yan thought of the appearance of the fairy and still couldn't imagine that there was such a beautiful fairy in the world.
No wonder the mother-in-law doesn't let men see it. If any mortal man saw the portrait of a fairy, he would probably be obsessed with it and his soul would be taken away.
"Yoyo is not an ordinary child. I think she is finally willing to stay in our home. As her second aunt, you have to take good care of her, understand?"
Qin Shu also felt happy and troubled when he thought of Youyou. Who wouldn't be happy to have such a baby? But Youyou had always had thoughts of suicide before. Now that she seemed to have a reason to stay in the Qin family, no matter what, they had to treat Youyou well.
"Of course I know. Yoyo was raised by my breasts. How can I not feel bad for her? Oh, by the way, I see Yoyo has been particularly fond of lamb lately. My parents have a lot of sheep. Why don't I go back to her house next month and find her one so she can continue to eat meat and get some goat's milk for Yoyo. I'm afraid the ewe at my parents' house is about to give birth."
Zhou Yan really treated Qin Yuan as her own daughter. Her own daughter Qin Feng'er was strong and playful. She loved the well-behaved and coquettish Qin Yuan so much. What's more, she had been breastfeeding Qin Yuan for two years. When her sister-in-law gave birth to a child and had no milk, she was the one who fed the child.
"Okay, I'll go back with you and bring some salt to my father-in-law and mother-in-law."
Zhou Yan was happy now. After all, the most difficult thing for ordinary people to find was not food, but salt. Without salt, people could not work. Official salt was expensive nowadays, and private salt was available, but it could easily kill people. Therefore, everyone would rather spend more money to buy official salt.
The Zhang family has a shop selling salt, so they sent a lot of salt. If Zhou Yan could take the salt back, it would be more precious than meat.
Qin Yuan didn't know that her performance in the past few days had finally put the Qin family members at ease. They had been worried that Qin Yuan still had thoughts of suicide, but now that they saw that Qin Yuan was willing to command the family to do things, they were actually happy.
However, Qin Yuan did not expect that her daughter's posters and ceramic figurines were taken away and placed in the study for worship. However, any unnecessary explanation was powerless, so she simply did not say much, hoping that her daughter would understand.
Modern Qin Huan had no idea that the poster of her playing a fairy was almost worshipped because she received her mother’s latest delivery!!!
[Ding Dong! Your mother, Qin Yuan, has sent you a package. Please receive it as soon as possible and return it within 24 hours.]
Qin Huan immediately clicked [Mother-Daughter Express] and saw an exquisite gold bracelet suddenly appear in front of him.
Indeed, the brilliant golden color made Qin Huan's eyes light up. Then, he gently picked up the bracelet and saw the exquisite craftsmanship of this hollow and carved gold bracelet. Below it was a beautiful teardrop-shaped tassel, and the bracelet was intertwined with hollow flowers. Most importantly! Inside the bracelet was a particularly small golden bird. When the bracelet was shaken, it moved rapidly, chasing the golden beans in front of it!!!
Oh my god! If this thing were put in modern times, with this kind of craftsmanship, it would be put in a museum, right?
Instantly attracted by the beautiful gold bracelet, Qin Huan looked at it for a long time before she realized there were words on the inner ring! She looked carefully and found the words "Ya'er". She immediately remembered that her mother in the Great Yong Dynasty was named Xie Ya'er.
So... this thing might be grandma's dowry?
People in ancient times liked to engrave their names on their belongings. Qin Huan immediately guessed what this thing was and realized that it was given to him by his mother, and that it was given to him by his grandmother!
Hehe! That's right, Qin Huan has already accepted the fact that she has a grandmother in Dayong Dynasty. After all, when she heard her mother talk about it, her mother's eyes were full of happiness. Even though Dayong Dynasty didn't seem to have abundant resources, her mother finally had parents to love her, and she was happy for her mother.
Feeling her mother's happiness, Qin Huan happily put the bracelet on her left wrist. She shook it gently, watching the agility of the golden sparrow chasing the golden beads. She felt that the goldsmiths of the Yong Dynasty were amazing! Anyway, she had never seen this thing in a modern gold shop. It could be said that this could be considered a work of art.
I happily wear a piece of art on my wrist, as if I feel my mother's love.
It just so happens that a good friend is coming over today, so she can ask Zhang Shiman and Jin Jiaojiao what things are worthless in modern times but very valuable in ancient times. Qin Yuan thought of a mirror, but it would take up a courier to send it, so she was reluctant to use it, and she was also afraid that her mother would take it and have no use for it.
Jin Jiaojiao and Zhang Shiman came together because they knew that Qin Yuan had been in a coma for a long time and Qin Huan had to stay here to take care of her aunt recently, so they brought small gifts that they thought were most suitable.
"I brought a set of comfortable custom-made pajamas for Auntie. They are very comfortable to wear. Please change them for Auntie later."
Jin Jiaojiao handed the pajamas she bought specially to Qin Huan, and Zhang Shiman beside her also gave her a small gift.
"This is the complete set of body lotion and serum I bought. Even though my aunt is still sleeping, I still need to use the necessary products to keep my skin healthy and my mood up."
Qin Huan accepted this thoughtful gift and nodded with a smile.
"Thank you for coming to see my mother. She will be very happy when she wakes up."
Qin Yuan has been well taken care of in the past five years. The caregiver not only helps Qin Yuan with massage, but also applies body lotion and the like. Therefore, Jin Jiaojiao, Zhang Shiman and others who come to visit her every once in a while take charge of some of Qin Yuan's personal belongings. The three of them remember Qin Yuan's size by heart, and what they do is comparable to what Qin Huan, their own daughter, does.
"I hope Auntie will wake up soon. I love the spicy crabs she makes the most." Jin Jiaojiao said this as she sat next to Qin Yuan's bed, took Qin Yuan's hand, and spontaneously began to check Qin Yuan's physical condition. After all, she was the only one among the four who could be considered a doctor.
"I also hope that Auntie can wake up soon. If she sees her daughter become a big star, she will definitely be proud of you."
Zhang Shiman's gaze also fell on Qin Yuan who was lying there. She still remembered that when they were in the dormitory, the aunt would always cook their favorite dishes and send them to school for them to eat. She even washed clothes for the four of them. That's why when the aunt got into trouble, Zhang Shiman and the others came together to take care of her.
"I hope so. You guys finally came today. Why don't we go to the restaurant for dinner later? My agent asked me to gain weight recently."
Qin Huan felt that his two roommates were feeling a little heavy-hearted, and lamented in his heart that he had already contacted his mother, but unfortunately he couldn't share the news with his best friends, so he planned to take them out for dinner to make them feel less sad.
"You should have gained weight a long time ago. I saw you look so thin in the video a few days ago. Come on, I'll treat you." After checking Qin Yuan's body and making sure that she was well taken care of, Jin Jiaojiao patted Qin Huan on the back and generously treated him.
"Yes, let's go and eat."
The nurse also came over at this time. After the three of them handed the person over to the nurse, they went out to eat. The restaurant was a private restaurant recommended by Xu Hui, and the owner here was Xu Hui's friend.
After Qin Huan reported her name, she quickly got a private room. After all, she was a star after all, and sitting outside would easily attract onlookers.
When they got to the private room, the three of them ordered their favorite dishes together. After the food was served, they started chatting animatedly. In fact, they were just sharing their recent daily lives. Even though Qin Huan became a star, he only came back to see Qin Yuan for a few days a month when he was on the crew. So Jin Jiaojiao, Zhang Shiman and Gui Sitian all came on time. Sometimes they would go to the hospital to visit Qin Yuan when Qin Huan was not there, and take WeChat videos for Qin Huan by the way.
"You don't know, it's a good thing you're not doctors anymore. The hospital really doesn't treat us like human beings. When I first entered the hospital, you all envied me. It was just a pharmacy! I got in with the help of my family. But the hospital has been in a recession recently, and they started cutting my salary. I used to make 8,000 yuan a month, but now it's less than 5,000 yuan a month. I have to ask my parents for help every day..."
Jin Jiaojiao is a native of Mingzhu City. She is complaining about the hospital's salary cuts. Of course, the most important thing is that she has encountered many strange patients, which give her a headache every day.
"Oh, stop talking. I thought I could just stop being a doctor and work in equipment-related field. Who would have thought that I would meet such a stupid boss? He is so capable, why doesn't he go to heaven?" Zhang Shiman, who resigned, also complained about her boss. These days, everyone goes crazy at work.
"My life as a celebrity is just so-so. You know, I was in the crew for almost six months, right? I played the third female lead. Guess how many scenes I had after editing?" Qin Huan felt that everyone was equally miserable, and now he also complained about his previous job.
"The third female lead should be very powerful, right? And you are a big director, so you can act in as many movies as you want. As long as you start filming, maybe other filmmakers will ask you to act in movies in the future, and then you can become a movie star." Jin Jiaojiao speculated, thinking that it would be great to act in a movie directed by a big director.
"Maybe, but filming a movie is really tiring. When my movie comes out, it's 120 minutes long, and it's amazing if I can do ten minutes. And I can usually do a TV show in one take, but this time, following a great director, I have to do a scene at least sixty times..."
This cannot be said to others, but it can be said to friends. Jin Jiaojiao and Zhang Shiman suddenly felt sorry for Qin Huan. After all, being a celebrity may seem glamorous in front of the camera, but it is also very tiring in private. She is not a top star, but an ordinary small star, and her work is also very troublesome.
After the three of them finished complaining about their work, Qin Huan suddenly had an idea and looked at the two of them.
"Well, I want to ask you something. Is there something that was very valuable in ancient times but not worth much here? And it was also easy to hide it in ancient times?"
Qin Huan had been thinking a lot these days, about glass, mirrors, pearls and the like, but he still hadn't decided what to send to his mother. After all, getting rich overnight was just a dream. In ancient times, if an ordinary family took out something unusual, they would probably be killed immediately.
Jin Jiaojiao and Zhang Shiman were stunned by Qin Huan's question. They didn't think much about it, but just thought Qin Huan was joking, so they immediately started thinking.
"Of course it's agate! In ancient times, agate was all natural. Mining it was not easy, so it was extremely expensive. Only the royal family and nobles could have it. It's no longer valuable in our modern times."
Jin Jiaojiao immediately gave an example, and Zhang Shiman quickly followed suit.
"Pearls and agates were valuable in ancient times, but they're not that valuable now. The same goes for red southern pearls, amber, and the like. If that doesn't work out, glass beads and crystal beads are also valuable. We buy a lot of them now, but they didn't exist in ancient times..."
Qin Huan remembered all this and planned to go back and ask her mother if she needed it, but the topic soon deviated to other places and she didn't continue talking about it. Listening to Jin Jiaojiao and Zhang Shiman expressing their glorious expectations of marrying eight male wives if they traveled through time, Qin Huan couldn't help laughing and felt that these two friends were her best friends in this life!
At this moment, she didn't know what outrageous demands her own mother would make tomorrow, and she was still thinking about how to help her mother become rich in ancient times.
On the other hand, in the Dayong Dynasty, Qin Yuan received good news as soon as she woke up.
"Your grandma said your uncle brought the finished stone mill over, and everyone in the family is watching the fun in the kitchen. Yoyo, do you want to go over?"
Xie Yaer woke up early today and was now dressed. Seeing her confused daughter's eyes widened when she heard the news, she quickly dressed her.
"Yes! I want to see the millstone."
She dressed quickly, with her mother putting on her clothes while she tilted her face up to let her father Qin Yu wipe her face. Qin Yu was gentle, and after he finished wiping her, Xie Yaer took out the frostbite cream, rubbed it evenly in her hands, and applied it on her daughter's face and hands. After she was dressed, she let her husband Qin Yu hold her and went to the kitchen together.
The kitchen was bustling with activity at this moment, and everyone in the Qin family was eagerly staring at the gadgets that appeared in the kitchen.
The millstone was about as wide as an adult's forearm, and its round shape was very regular. Qin Yuan was carried over by her father. When she saw the small millstone, she immediately felt that it was exactly the same as her own toy!!!
The stone mill, which was made up of several pieces of stone, was now polished like a work of art, and the lines on it were very regular. At least Qin Yuan felt that this thing would definitely work at first sight!
"Yoyo, here you are! Look at this millstone, is it the same as yours?" Liu Chunhua was happy when she saw her granddaughter. She came over and took Qin Yuan away from her son's arms, and then stuffed her into her down jacket. Now Liu Chunhua is the only one in the family who has this down jacket. Everyone can see that the prodigy in the family likes his grandmother very much.
Everyone looked at Qin Yuan eagerly, wanting to know if this stone mill could really turn wheat into flour and then be eaten as food?
"Give it a try, Grandpa. You and Dad have seen me use the millstone. Give it a try."
As soon as she spoke, no one in the Qin family objected. Everyone, young and old, tacitly agreed that she should know this, especially since there was a statue of a fairy in the study! Regarding their own little fairy who had come down to earth to transcend the tribulation, no one in the Qin family would ask a single question.
Qin Dali and Qin Yu then came to the stone mill. One of them added wheat while the other started to turn the stone mill. The size of the stone mill was just right. Not only could a man turn it, but a woman could also do it.
Everyone looked at the millstone curiously. It was the first time they saw this new thing and they felt it was really strange.
But after a while, light yellow wheat flour appeared in the stone mill, which made Qin Shan unable to help but go over and pinch a small handful and put it in his mouth with a strange look on his face.
"Is this wheat flour? It tastes like wheat, no flavor at all."
What's there to eat?
The woman in the family was smart. Wang Pandi glared at her husband.
"Since this wheat flour is what Youyou wants to eat, Youyou must have a way, right? Youyou, just tell your auntie and I'll make it for you!"
When she turned to look at Qin Yuan, her face was full of kindness, and Qin Yuan immediately nodded obediently.
"Auntie, I want to eat dumplings! Auntie, make dumplings for me!"
When Wang Pandi heard this, he immediately came over and stood in front of Qin Yuan, and began to ask how to make dumplings. Since they hadn't cooked yet today, everyone was very curious. Qin Yuan didn't hide it and directly said that she could make mutton dumplings. Some vegetables and mutton were chopped up and mixed together, and finally covered with bread. That would make dumplings.
Everyone carefully wrote down the recipe for making dumplings. Aunts Wang Pandi and Zhou Yan were particularly skillful and immediately found a place in the kitchen to prepare the dumpling filling.
Qin Dali worked quickly and they soon ground out a wooden basin of flour. After changing to a new basin, Qin Yuan began to direct her aunt to knead the dough.
Wang Pandi was a good cook. Following Qin Yuan's instructions, he kneaded the flour into a dough in a short while, leaving everyone stunned.
After the dough had been left for a while, Wang Pandi followed Qin Yuan's instructions and divided the dough into sections, cut them and rolled them into long strips. Qin Huan, who was standing by, also came over to help his mother pat the dumpling wrappers. Everyone was curious about this and joined in.
The water had been boiled by my cousin Qin Hu a long time ago. There was strength in numbers. When my aunt Wang Pandi skillfully made the first dumpling, everyone else quickly figured it out and made their own round dumplings.
Qin Yuan almost burst into tears when looking at these dumplings. After the water boiled, she put the dumplings in. After a while, the dumplings rolled back and forth in the boiling water, becoming plump like gold ingots.
"These dumplings look like gold ingots, so beautiful." Liu Chunhua couldn't help but sigh. She was one of the few people in the Qin family who had seen gold ingots.
"Grandma, does a gold ingot look like this?" Qin Doudou was very curious. He had never seen gold before.
"Yes, they are round like this." Liu Chunhua nodded, a little curious about what the dumplings tasted like.
When the dumplings were cooked, Qin Yuan directed the two aunts to serve them out. Seeing everyone else's eager eyes, she said.
"The filling inside is very hot. You have to bite open the outer layer of the dough first, then blow on the filling inside before you can eat it, otherwise your tongue will fall off."
After hearing this, everyone held up their bowls and carefully took the first bite of the dumplings according to Qin Yuan's instructions. The flour originally had no taste, but after being made into dumplings, the first bite, along with a small amount of mutton filling, entered the mouth, and the warm and fragrant taste instantly filled the mouth.
Qin Yuan, with Xie Ya'er holding her while she ate, carefully took a bite of the first dumpling from the Great Yong Dynasty. Seeing the mutton filling inside, Qin Yuan didn't know why she suddenly wanted to eat braised beef noodles...
Decision made! I called my daughter today and she wants braised beef noodles for dinner! Don't ask! If you ask, it's because she's craving instant noodles!
It's been five years. She's been through so much hardship that there's no taste in her mouth...
So Huanhuan will definitely agree to let me eat instant noodles, right?
