Chapter 15: The Begging Festival
The Qiqiao Festival is the Qixi Festival, the day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet at the bridge. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although the wheel of history in this world has long been unaware of where it has deviated, some important customs are similar to ancient China in Li Yi's memory, and no changes have occurred.
There is a room in the village that is specially used to store books, of course, it is a bit inaccurate to say that it is a collection of books, it was all robbed when Liuye Village was still a real bandit village.
I can't count how many books there are, scattered in the room, Li Yi will bring one when he has nothing to do, in order to figure out what kind of fucking world this is, Li Yi has been going there a lot these days.
As the name suggests, this day is the day when the majority of girls and women beg for skillful art from the Weaver Girl.
Legend has it that the Weaver Girl is a beautiful, intelligent, ingenious fairy, a pair of skillful hands, able to weave clouds, weave the world's most beautiful brocade, as an excellent textile industry, is the role model and object of worship for women in the era of male ploughing and weaving.
On the 7th day of the seventh month, mortal women beg the Weaver Girl for wisdom and skill, and of course, some young girls who are pregnant with spring and young women who are not very happy in their married life will also beg her to give them a good marriage.
Li Yi has always felt that it is a very nonsense thing to let the Weaver Girl bless him to meet a good marriage, the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd can only meet once a year, and their marriages are on the verge of being broken, how can there be any spare time to bless so many lonely women......
Because the people who participate in the begging are all women, so the begging festival is also called "Daughter's Day" and "Girl's Day", in short, this day is almost a women's carnival, you can go shopping unscrupulously, ask a few girlfriends to let go of play, or hide under the grape trellis on the night of Qixi and listen to the love words of the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd in the room......
In a word, if in the next few days when Qixi is coming, you see your daughter-in-law, your sister-in-law and your maid's behavior are different from usual, don't wonder or panic, it's normal.
After this information came to mind, Li Yi was not surprised by their behavior.
Like what kind of needle-threading begging skill, happy spider should be skillful, needle throwing skill, Lan night fighting skill, Li Yi has not even heard of these activities and customs, and can only sigh that the women in the village are really good at playing......
But that's good, it's always better for the Qixi Festival in the future, and the fixed custom may be that every Qixi Day, there will always be a lot of people under the banner of Chinese Valentine's Day, and they will be happy in the street home, Hanting or Seven Days Hotel, and the artillery will be full of fire, I am afraid that even the origin of Qixi or who the Weaver Girl is will forget completely.
To some extent, Li Yi prefers this backward and conservative era.
Now that the begging festival is coming, you can find a reason to give the bear children a holiday, but the bear children who used to like holidays the most, now they often count on their fingers, and they can go to the school again in a few days------ the story of the monkey has just been told to a wonderful place.
Seeing Xiaohuan carrying two clay pots into the kitchen, Li Yi followed in, and asked with some confusion, "What is this?" ”
"This is sesame oil, this is frosting." Xiaohuan put down the two clay pots and pointed to each of them.
"Sesame oil? Frosting? Li Yi was stunned when he heard this, leaned over to the two clay pots and looked at them, and suddenly his face was happy.
"This is...... Sesame oil? Is this sugar? ”
Xiaohuan nodded beside him and said, "Uncle is so smart, sesame oil is made from sesame seeds, and it will be the Qiqiao Festival in two days, so we have to make some Qiaoguo in advance." ”
Li Yi didn't know what Qiaoguo was, he didn't want to know, he didn't hear what Xiaohuan said, and at this moment Li Yi only had these two clay pots in his eyes.
What's in a clay pot to be exact.
Oh my God, I've been here for so long and I've finally seen sugar and vegetable oil!
In Li Yi's mind, there are already tender and delicious chicken cutlets, as well as sweet and sour tenderloin that makes your mouth water when you think about it......
Xiaohuan saw his aunt staring at the clay pot with sesame oil and frosting with bright eyes, as if he had thought of something, his little face changed suddenly, he took a step in front of Li Yi, looked at him and said pitifully: "Uncle, sesame oil and frosting are used to make Qiaoguo, and there is a total of such a little in the village, which cannot be wasted......"
"What is waste, we are doing the right thing, there is no tenderloin, let's fry a chicken steak first......" Li Yi rubbed the little girl's head, and stretched out one hand to the jar with sesame oil.
"No way!"
The little maid suddenly became anxious, and hugged Li Yi's hand to prevent him from taking another step.
This sesame oil and frosting, but all the girls in the village pooled money to go down the mountain to buy it in order to prepare the fruit, and the price of the sesame oil was so expensive that if it weren't for the Qiaoqiao Festival, it would be impossible to see it on weekdays.
Li Yi didn't expect that the little maid who was well-behaved and cute on weekdays and obedient to him would be so tough in this matter, and the atmosphere suddenly became embarrassing......
Although the little maid is not very old, her figure has almost grown, the convex place is convex, the place that should be warped is warped, Li Yi's arm is held in her arms, constantly shaking and rubbing, and it is inevitable to touch two soft balls.
Li Yi grew so big, it was the first time he felt such a fragrant temptation, and he suddenly felt the blood surge, and his brain was a little insufficient, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, Xiaohuan said no, no, you let go of me first......"
"Really?" Xiaohuan blinked his big innocent eyes and asked with some disbehes.
"Really!" Li Yi nodded sincerely.
In the end, it is a girl's heart, seeing Li Yi's promise, Xiaohuan let go of his arm, but when he put it down, he seemed to think of something, his pretty face turned red, and his little hand rubbed the corners of his clothes with some anxiety, lowering his head and not daring to look at Li Yi.
"Do you know how shy you are at this time?" Li Yi glanced at the little girl's shy appearance, couldn't help but be a little funny, rolled his eyes, and suddenly said, "Xiaohuan, why don't we discuss?" ”
"Business...... What to discuss? ”
The little maid continued to bow her head and rub the corners of her clothes, her voice as low as a mosquito.
I have to say that Li Yi is still very talented in such things as deceiving bear children and inducing ignorant girls.
It didn't take long for Li Yi to half-seduce and half-coerce, Xiaohuan had to reach an agreement with him.
What kind of "Qiaoguo", Li Yi can help her make it, while ensuring the number of Qiaoguo, the remaining sesame oil and frosting can be kept without having to be returned......
Anyway, they don't know how much they used, but there was nothing left in previous years.
Xiaohuan didn't have any doubts about Li Yi's cooking skills, and after simply telling him Qiaoguo's practice, he went out to do other things.
Watching the delicate figure of the little girl walk out, the corners of Li Yi's mouth hooked up a smile.
What was in his hands, do you want to return it?
Dream!
