Qi Jing did not take Tang Shiyue back to the stone house.
Subconsciously, he seemed to understand that the "home" she was talking about was not this "home".
He took her to the Xiaobanshan Pavilion in Qi's house.
Sitting on the top of the pavilion, looking up, you can see the moonlight, feel the cool breeze, and the fragrance of osmanthus is refreshing. It is simply the pinnacle of romance.
It is completely possible to sit in a row shyly, admire the moon, recite poetry, and talk about poetry and songs to the philosophy of life.
However, Tang Shiyue was not honest. She kept humming and trying to sit in his arms... However, the old-fashioned Qi Xiaolang could not accept such an intimate behavior.
He said but she wouldn't listen, and he didn't dare to push her, let alone pull her hand. His ears were red, but he tried to hold on, and asked her seriously, "How old are you?"
She ignored him and still wanted to get into his arms. He pushed her forehead with his palm and looked down into her eyes, "How old is Yue?"
She was forced to look up at him, her big eyes blinking, and she habitually answered: "Ayue is always eighteen years old!"
Yes, ever since her debut, she has been eighteen years old forever.
...
...
Qi Jing wanted to say something but didn't. He said helplessly, "I can't hug you anymore since you're seven years old, so I can't hug A-Yue now, do you understand?"
She was very easy to talk to. She thought about it seriously and proposed a solution: "Ajing will carry you."
Then she moved around behind him, leaned on his back, and wrapped her little arms around him.
Qi Jing: “…”
How disrespectful...
His face turned red, and he reached out his hand helplessly, loosely holding her thin arm, thinking that he would never let her drink again.
Well, even if he drinks, he should drink when it’s just him and her.
Then actress Tang hugged him, tilted her head, and gave him a big kiss with a "bo" sound.
Qi Jing: “…”
She said to him happily: "A Jing, you are so beautiful, and your eyes are the most beautiful!"
He lowered his head, "Yeah."
“What a pity…”
"What a pity?"
"What a shame! Why don't you grow older?"
He raised his eyebrows, even forgetting to be shy, and said calmly: "Why should I be older?"
"If you were an uncle, I would marry you."
He paused, "Why do you want to marry an uncle?"
She tutted her lips regretfully: "Because it's too small, I can't do it!"
Qi Jing: “…”
He didn't dare to think too deeply about what she meant. His face was so hot that he could hardly hear her. His body was as stiff as a stone, and he sat upright. He didn't know how to treat her, nor did he know how to deal with... some sudden condition in his body.
She babbled nonsense and made clumsy movements for more than half an hour before the effects of the alcohol gradually wore off. She then lay on top of him and fell asleep in a daze.
Qi Jing waited until the heat on his face subsided and the excitement subsided before he sent her back despite the strange looks from Tang Shirong and Mrs. Ye.
Then he went out again, stood by the river and hesitated for a long time, but finally jumped up lightly, circled several times, and accurately found the lotus lantern made by Tang Shiyue.
He took it out of the water and opened it. On the small piece of paper inside, there was written crookedly: "Dad, Mom, and brother will be happy forever." Although there were several typos, it was roughly something like this.
Qi Jing frowned, put the note back into the lotus lantern, clasped his hands together and bowed gently, then put it back into the water. When he stood up, he seemed to be thinking about something.
Tang Shiyue was unable to get up the next morning. She didn't get up until noon and drank a bowl of porridge. She looked like she had been seriously ill.
This body really can't stand the torture.
When Qi Jing came over, she was lying on the couch listlessly. As soon as she saw him, she asked, "I didn't make a fuss yesterday, did I?"
She was quite confident in her drinking ability and was just being polite.
As a result, Qi Xiaolang said calmly: "It's quite noisy."
"Really?" She stared at him with wide eyes: "Don't lie to me!"
He just looked at her: "..."
Tang Dangjia was a little confused: "What did I say?"
"Nothing," Qi Xiaolang said lightly. She was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when she heard him say lightly, "Just asked me to go home with you."
Tang Shiyue glared at him, then she quickly responded, "Ah...yes, that's right! You are so smart and capable, of course I have to take you home."
Qi Xiaolang continued calmly: "He also said that I am good-looking."
"She said I have the prettiest eyes."
"Say you'd marry me if I were an uncle."
"They said it was too small to do it."
He just spoke one sentence after another, calmly dropping bombshells one after another. Tang Shiyue was stunned and couldn't utter a word... Do you know the feeling of having your vest fall off overnight?
You kissed me. You touched me.
Qi Xiaolang really couldn't say these two sentences.
He was originally very embarrassed, but seeing her collapsed expression, Qi Jing's mouth corners slightly curved and he touched her head: "Be good, I won't tell anyone."
But you have to marry me.
Tang Shiyue: “…”
Just one night has passed, Qi Xiaolang, have you been exposed?
Then Qi Jing took out a small seal from his bosom and said, "It was carved hastily, so it's not very good. You can play with it first."
Although Tang Shiyue didn't know why he suddenly gave her something, she still happily accepted it. The seal was made of jade, very small and could be hung on the body. It was engraved with four characters in ancient seal script: "Fairy Dew Pearl".
Tang Shiyue said happily: "Did you carve this? Thank you!"
Qi Xiaolang nodded lightly: "Yeah." He touched her head again: "Take a rest." Then he went out.
Tang Shiyue always felt that Qi Xiaolang was a little strange today, as if... he was doing all kinds of little actions more and more calmly.
But I felt guilty and didn't dare to ask in detail.
…………
After the fifteenth day, it is time to harvest beans planted in the fields. Beans are legumes, and soybeans are generally planted here.
The soybeans in Qinzhou ripen early, half a month earlier than those in other places. Tang Shiyue didn't care whether it was a waste or not, and ate the salted edamame two or three times.
After all the soybeans were harvested, she started to make soy milk to drink.
For this, she specially called a stonemason to make two stone mills, one large and one small, at home, so that she would not have to go to other people's homes to grind these things in the future.
When Qi Jing had some free time, she asked him to help build a rack to dry some bean curd sheets for eating in the winter.
Just soak fresh soybeans, grind them into slurry, filter out the tofu dregs, and then boil the soy milk. A thin film with a high protein content will solidify on the surface.
This layer is the bean curd skin, also called bean curd skin. At this time, you can pick it up with a thin stick, hang it up to dry, and keep it for eating in winter.
When she made it, Mrs. Ye was shocked. She never thought that soy milk could be eaten like this. Tang Shiyue was also surprised. After thinking about it, she asked Mrs. Ye: "Have you heard of yuba?"
Mrs. Ye shook her head blankly: "What is that?"
Tang Shiyue had always thought that things like yuba and bean curd skin had existed before the Tang Dynasty, but it turns out they don’t exist until now?
So she tried making yuba again.
The process of making yuba is similar to that of making bean curd skin. First, crush and peel the soybeans, then soak them for a few hours until the soybeans are swollen and hard, and then grind them into slurry. Generally, the ratio is one pound of beans to ten pounds of water. The ground juice needs to be filtered. When the bean dregs are loose and there is no slurry when pinched, filter the cooked slurry again and it can be put into the yuba pot.
At this time, the heat is more important.
Generally, the temperature needs to be maintained at around 70 degrees. After about ten minutes, a layer of oil skin will appear. At this time, use a special knife to gently cut the film in the middle, divide it into two pieces, extract them separately, then rotate them into a column and hang them on bamboo poles to dry.
When the surface of the bean curd sheet turns yellow-white, bright and translucent, it is ready.
Generally, the lighter the color, the higher the nutritional value.
Mrs. Ye watched her make the whole process, was amazed, and praised her for her cleverness.
She was a kitchen lady, and she had never heard of it, so it should have disappeared at that time.
Tang Shiyue went to the town to ask again, but there was no answer, so she decided to teach this thing to the villagers as well.
You know, yuba is a kind of "vegetarian meat". In this era when meat is hard to find, yuba will surely be very popular once it comes out.
