Then he laid it under a peach tree, and after laying it down, he hugged the peach tree and shook it.
A shower of pink rain fell down on Gu Lili and Gu Huanhuan.
Their initially gloomy mood instantly brightened.
Gu Huanhuan couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, sister, you're so beautiful!"
Gu Lili nodded repeatedly, "She really is beautiful!"
Gu Huanhuan smiled and joined in shaking the tree, and soon a thin layer of petals piled up on the coarse cloth on the ground.
After the two sisters finished shaking one tree, they moved on to another and continued shaking it.
Shaking the flowers down like this won't affect the peach tree's ability to bear fruit.
However, these peaches probably won't taste very good.
In just over half an hour, Gu Lili's basket was already half full of flower petals.
Seeing that it was about time, Gu Lili called Gu Huanhuan back.
Back home, Gu Erniu had already chopped a lot of firewood, and Gu Sigou had also gotten out of bed.
Judging from Gu Sigou's appearance, there shouldn't be any major problems.
Gu Erniu had just told Gu Sigou about Gu Jingsheng's death, so he wasn't so scared anymore.
Seeing that Gu Lili and Gu Huanhuan had returned, he greeted them with a smile.
"Sister, Third Sister, you're back!"
Gu Lili smiled, stepped forward and patted Gu Sigou's head, saying, "You're back!"
Gu Lili raised her hand, and four little rabbit lollipops appeared in her hand.
The four children were stunned. Their sister's sleeve was truly a treasure chest, capable of conjuring up anything.
Gu Lili stuffed one of the candies in her hand into Gu Sigou's mouth, then gave the rest to Gu Erniu and Gu Huanhuan, and she also picked one up and put it in her mouth.
Gu Lili hoped that the taste of this candy could soothe the hearts of the three of them.
The three of them tasted the sweet flavor and couldn't help but smile.
While eating candy, Gu Lili poured the peach blossoms from her basket into a sieve and picked out the dirty ones.
Seeing this, the three of them rushed over to help.
The four of them chatted and laughed as they picked through the items, gradually putting Gu Jingsheng's matter out of their minds.
After picking them up, Gu Lili led the three of them to carefully wash the petals with clean water and then lay them out in the yard to dry completely.
After finishing these tasks, Gu Lili returned to the kitchen and took out some of the bones she had bought that morning.
"Erniu, you hurt Uncle Dazhu today. Go and take this bone to Uncle Dazhu's house and apologize to him," Gu Lili said solemnly.
Although Gu Erniu didn't mean it, he still had to apologize.
Fortunately, the bones in his hand were not broken, otherwise it would have been terrible.
Gu Erniu nodded guiltily, took the bone from his hand, and walked towards the village head's house.
When he returned, he was carrying several land deeds in his hand.
Gu Lili looked at the land deed in Gu Erniu's hand with some curiosity and asked, "What is this?"
"This was given to me by the village head. The land deeds of Gu Jingsheng's family were burned before, and the village head made a replacement for them. He gave it to me," Gu Erniu replied.
Gu Lili nodded and took the land deed, storing it in her spatial storage.
They felt perfectly justified in taking the land deed.
His father's military pay over the years and the five taels of pension were more than enough to buy this land.
Seeing that the peach blossoms had dried out enough, Gu Lili went to check on the glutinous rice that had been soaked earlier.
Gu Lili gently brushed it away, and it shattered.
Gu Lili then scooped up the glutinous rice and put it in a steamer. She then poked some small holes in the flattened glutinous rice with chopsticks to allow steam to rise and make it cook faster before steaming it.
Gu Huanhuan and Gu Erniu were watching their sister's actions closely.
After steaming over high heat for about the time it takes to brew a pot of tea, Gu Lili added peach blossoms to the steamer as well.
In less than fifteen minutes, Gu Lili quickly took the steamed glutinous rice down.
The rice used for making wine shouldn't be steamed for too long. If the rice is overcooked, the wine will turn sour.
Gu Lili poured all the glutinous rice into a large wooden basin and spread it out evenly to cool.
Then, spring water was poured in and stirred to cool the rice quickly.
If the temperature is too high, the fermented rice will turn sour, grow mold, and become mildewed.
Moreover, there must be no oil or grease in the wine, otherwise it will spoil. Gu Lili secretly washed all the utensils with dish soap several times.
Gu Lili reached out and touched the temperature. When it was about right, she took out the old-fashioned yeast she had bought, crushed it with a rolling pin, and sprinkled it evenly on the rice.
After sprinkling the yeast, Gu Lili reached in and stirred it evenly to ensure that every grain of rice was coated with yeast.
After mixing, Gu Lili put the rice into the bucket. Since it didn't fit all the rice, she asked Gu Erniu to find her another one.
Luckily, I bought a bucket a few days ago to make sugar, so it should be enough.
She put the rice into a bucket, but not completely, leaving some space for it to ferment.
Gu Lili then used a rolling pin to hollow out a hole in the middle, making it easier to dispense the wine.
Having done all that, Gu Lili and Gu Erniu carried the two buckets into the plastic greenhouse.
Gu Lili was actually just trying out this peach blossom wine.
She planned that if she succeeded, she could use the money to entertain the villagers on the day the main beam was erected.
After doing all that, Gu Lili took the three of them to the land they had cultivated next to their new home to plant vegetables.
In the blink of an eye, four days have passed.
Today is the day Gu Lili is married into the Liang Dynasty.
Yesterday, Gu Lili, Gu Erniu, and the other two went to Donghai Town and bought the food they would use to entertain the villagers today.
Yesterday, Gu Lili went early, so she ordered a pig.
Many villagers had helped the siblings, so Gu Lili thought she would repay them by having a meal with them.
The women in the village arrived at Gu Lili's house early to help.
Everyone spontaneously brought their own bowls, chopsticks, tables, and chairs.
Gu Lili decided to have dinner on the open space of her new home, and the stove for cooking was a temporary structure set up by the men in the village.
Everyone was gathered around, some washing vegetables, some cutting meat; it was quite a lively scene.
The Han family academy across from Gu Lili's house also opened today.
The two houses were right across from each other, and it was quite lively.
However, Gu Lili didn't have time to check on things at the school because she was directing everyone to cook.
Today, Gu Lili made a menu and planned to cook eight dishes.
It's not flashy, but it's not shabby either.
Actually, just having that one pig on the table is already considered a top-quality dish.
These days, some families, even when celebrating a happy occasion, simply invite people to eat some wedding cakes and that's it.
Everyone was drooling as they looked at the pig, praising Gu Lili for being so generous.
"Lili, you're all cooking!"
