Female supporting roles rely on food to save themselves

Chapter 290
Gu Xiang ordered to go down in one breath, clean up the garden, pull out the weeds that have grown for many years, clean up the mud, repair the doors, windows, bricks and tiles of the room, and clean the room.

Although they were too young to do heavy work, most of the physical work was done by the old dog and a group of soldiers and servants. In addition, Qiuli also paid for the tooth shop to hire servants and handymen to help, but They didn't let them idle for a moment, arranged the living room, and began to clean the house, paste the window paper and screens, and make the bed and fold the quilt.

Qiuli, Zhao Susu, and Xiao Lingyun personally took the children to do it.

The work is getting more and more, these little ladies are all delicate, and even seven of the eight girls have their feet bound, hey!
"commit a sin!"

Seeing their appearance, Zhao Susu felt a little sour in her heart.

In the early years, big feet were popular in Beijing for a while, but after a short period of time, people began to bind the feet of girls at home.

She was lucky. Back then, both her father and mother were a bit deviant, and they were thought to have beautiful little feet, but her parents said that her body, hair, and skin should not be damaged by her parents. They resisted the pressure of the family and allowed her to raise a pair of big feet. .

Thanks to this pair of big feet, she also endured the suffering in the early years. Back then, the clan sister was a well-known beauty, and only a beauty can be kept in a golden cage, but it is difficult to live in the wilderness .

Fortunately, the so-called foot binding nowadays is only for the pursuit of slimness and straightness.

When Gu Xiang first came to this place, he deliberately inquired and observed the situation of women's feet bound. There is absolutely no one in the village who binds their feet, and only educated women like Jiang can know about this.

It is said that Jiang Shi also planned to wrap it up with the original owner, but the original owner cried so much that it made people feel distressed, so it's okay to think about it.

Today's women with small feet are mostly from the families of officials and nobles. The daughters of the family bound their feet with cloth and wore small shoes that bound their feet when they were young. After a period of time, many people can recover, and most of them will not be disabled and affect their walking.

At this moment, a group of girls put their feet up tremblingly, and asked Qiuli to go to the doctor for diagnosis and treatment, and put on loose cloth shoes, and Qiuli and the others made them run around.After a while, everyone was sweating profusely from exhaustion, but those heavy and hopeless emotions disappeared for a while.

After nearly two hours of hard work by everyone, the house finally took on a new look.

Gu Xiang went straight to the big kitchen in the backyard to have a look, and was very satisfied with the row of twenty large kitchens.

When she bought the house, she had turned around. The old dog thought it was too far away. It was on the northwest corner of Maizhu Lane, but in Gu Xiang's view, after walking two streets to the south, there was Taixue and Guozijian, which was serious. The bustling area, just because the house outside is built in a mess, with many corners, it is a bit secluded.

In fact, Old Dog and the others looked down on it a little bit because of the ominous rumors about this house.

I heard earlier that this was a private house purchased by a great eunuch in the previous dynasty. Later, the eunuch committed a crime, and the house was sold off.

After that, for some reason, every owner had some troubles, either losing money in business, or relegating officials, because of these things, rumors spread in various ways, and no one dared to buy them, and they gradually fell into disrepair. .

Gu Xiang likes this location, the exterior is very inconspicuous, even from the outside you can't see the spaciousness of the interior, but it was built with high-quality materials, and more importantly, there are two good wells, she has seen wells Water, the water quality is quite good.

As for the unlucky thing, it's not that she doesn't believe in good and bad luck, but in a place like the capital, in what year have dozens of officials not been relegated?If this is also called unlucky, 80.00% of the good houses in Beijing should not be lived in.

Xue Ying tidied up the kitchen first, not only tidying it up, but filling more than a dozen water tanks to the brim.The stone surface on the stove was so polished that it was so shiny. The bluestone slabs on the ground were originally stained with green moss, but now they have been washed clean. At some point, a few weeds came out from the corners of the wall, and it was still green in the cold weather. , Xue Ying didn't move it.

The kitchen is so well-maintained, Gu Xiang's excitement is full, he shows off his knife skills, cuts beef, mutton, and pork, all of which are as thin as a cicada's wing, and the sun shines in after a while, it's like putting on a knife. The crystal flowers on the table are average.

Pork is especially required to be half-fat and half-lean, and the haggis and sheep brains are also cleaned and arranged neatly, so that there is no waste.

The big prawns were all eaten, and the remaining fresh prawns were small, so Gu Xiang simply peeled off their shells and made them into shrimp balls.

The milky white soup base has always been prepared in the car. It has been boiled for a long time, and it is fragrant and mellow. The few baskets of sesame cakes left over from the day were turned out and baked again. The outside was burnt and the inside was tender. It didn't look like the old ones at all, but it had a special flavor.

Gu Xiang adjusted the sesame paste, and finally grabbed a lot of peanuts and minced beef in it. Qiuli smiled and said, "Hurry up and send it to those little girls, they are all tired and paralyzed. However, they can grit their teeth Persevere, no one has ever complained of suffering or tiredness, it is not easy."

"Don't worry."

Gu Xiang smiled lightly, "Sister Susu, send them the medicine pack we prepared, let them take a dip in the medicine bath, and make them feel alive, or else they may not be able to move tomorrow."

Zhao Susu responded and went over with the medicine bag.

At this time, Le'er was leading the sisters to wash in the bathroom in the northwest corner. It was cold and the bathroom was closed airtight. There was no fire inside, only a wall of fire was burning outside.

Several healthy women helped to bring buckets of slightly hot water, with medicine packs in them, and Le'er gasped for breath with difficulty, feeling her body was sore, but she was sweating all over. After rubbing off two layers of mud, my spirit suddenly changed.

After getting out of the bathtub, he was most afraid of being exposed to the wind, so he changed into his clothes and wrapped himself in a thick cloak, walked directly through the corridor and entered the warm pavilion.

In the warm pavilion, a layer of blankets has been comfortably laid out, and the chairs are covered with thick cushions. On the big round table, there is an air stove with a pot of good soup on it, boiling hot, and several plates of freshly cut meat are crystal clear. Shining brightly.

There are radishes, fresh mushrooms, and sour bamboo shoots rolling in the soup pot, and the aroma is steaming up, filling the room.

If it was changed before, Le'er would have disliked the taste and refused to get close, but now she swallows her saliva non-stop.

The girls present here were already so hungry that their chests were sticking to their backs. They couldn't bear it when they saw this. They ate the meat with chopsticks, and after rinsing it for a while, it was put into the sauce plate, and they ate more than a dozen mouthfuls in a row. , Le'er let out a small breath and wiped the sweat from her forehead, feeling a little embarrassed.

Looking up and looking around, the little sisters all looked the same, they couldn't help looking at each other, and burst out laughing, Le'er laughed for a while, looking down at the meat in the sauce dish, the thin slices of meat were fragrant and tender, the sour bamboo shoots and The sweet and garlic bites are crisp and delicious in the mouth, and you can drink a bowl of soup, and finally mix with the sauce to serve a large amount of springy noodles.

"call!"

"Shu Tan!"

The little girls' skin was so pink and tender, they squinted their eyes and squinted on the chairs after eating and drinking, and looked at each other for a long time, and they laughed happily.

After laughing for a while, he began to cry again.

Qiu Li was about to deliver some food to them at the door, but when she heard the movement, she paused and didn't go in.

It's good to cry.
