Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 228 Little Tree's Heart
Xiao Shu'er knew that there was no way to beat Liu Ya, and she was too embarrassed to play tricks, so she had to make a face at Liu Ya.Then he took out a small purse from his bosom, and threw the purse to Liu Ya with a proud face.

"Silver!" Liu Ya opened the purse and took a look. Besides the copper plate, there were also a few pieces of broken silver inside, which together amounted to more than one yuan.Liu Ya frowned, and asked in a low voice: "Is this the private money you saved? Is the business of Xiaoshuipu so good?"

"No." Xiao Shu'er shook his head and said, "Second Sister, you want to raise money for Aunt Chunniu, so I sold the snake you got yesterday. It's also a coincidence that I just arrived yesterday with the snake. Not long after the small water shop, a passing customer came to drink water, and saw the snake I was hanging on the side to be skinned. He said he wanted to buy it for making wine, so he gave me these broken silver coins, which add up to more than one yuan, and gave them all. You. I also plan to go to the mountains to collect some mountain treasures and get some bird eggs to sell for money before I go to Xiaoshuipu every day, so that the second sister doesn't have to work hard to make money by herself."

Only then did Liu Ya remember that she was supposed to eat snake soup after hitting a snake.In the end, I had an unpleasant fight with Liu Xu'er, so I forgot about it.

Liu Ya stuffed the money bag into Xiao Shu'er's hand, and said in a low voice: "The money lent to Chun Niu has been raised, the second sister doesn't want this money. If you want to keep it, just treat it as private money. Don't make a fuss, keep it secretly. If you don't want to take it, just leave it to Dad."

"Second Sister, take it, take it." Xiao Shu'er stuffed the purse into Liu Ya again, and said, "I see girls from other families wear earrings or something, but you and Eldest Sister don't either. Uncle Liu I don’t bring these things with me the next time I come, and I can’t buy them for you even if I want to. You often go to the town and the city, and if you see something beautiful and like it, buy it and wear it.”

Liu Ya felt warm in her heart when she heard this, touched Xiao Shu'er's head, and said: "Okay, the second sister will keep this money, it's a kindness from Xiao Shu'er to the two sisters, and I will go back to the city to buy two pairs of earrings Son, big sister is a pair and I am a pair, wear them both."

After finishing speaking, Liu Ya took the bag containing the pen, ink and rice paper from the top of the kang, handed it to Xiao Shu'er and said, "This is for you, open it and have a look."

Xiao Shu'er took it and first touched it, probably touching the doorway, and a surprised expression appeared on his face.Then put the burden on the kang, and it was untied after three times, five divisions and two.Seeing that there were really rice paper and pen and ink inside, I jumped up with joy.Instead, she hugged the stack of rice paper and kissed two hard.Turning around again, Liu Ya wanted to kiss Liu Ya again, Liu Ya quickly pushed Xiao Shu'er's head away, and said: "Okay, don't be happy, everything is yours, go eat quickly."

"Second sister, can you let me try to write a word first? Just dip it in ink and write a word." Xiao Shu'er pitifully stretched out a finger, begging.

"No." Liu Ya raised her face, and seeing Xiao Shu'er's disappointed expression, she laughed again and said, "I'm kidding. It's not that the second sister doesn't let you write, it's that the brush must be opened before it can be used. .You go and get some warm water, it can’t be too hot, it’s enough to be warm when it drips on the back of your hand. This newly bought writing brush needs to be soaked first to soften the tip before it can be used.”

"Oh, I understand. I'll go." Xiao Shu'er ran out after finishing speaking.After a while, he ran back again, already carrying a small bowl with warm water in it.

Liu Ya pulled off the caps of the brushes, and both brushes were soaked in the water.Gently turn the pen holder a few times to make the tip soft, then lift the pen and swing it on the side of the bowl for a few times, and then soak the pen tip in the water again.Then he said to Xiaoshuer: "Let's go, go eat first, otherwise it will be cold and taste bad. Come back and the brush will be soaked. Then the second sister will teach you how to write."

"Just soak it like this? Do you want to add some ink or something?" Xiao Shu'er's eyes were fixed on the brush without blinking, and it seemed that he didn't want to leave.

Liu Ya pulled Xiao Shu'er up and said, "Okay, let's go. You can't fly even if it's soaked, and the second sister will teach you after dinner. Otherwise, I won't teach you a single word in the future."

"Okay, let's go now." Xiao Shu'er quickly agreed.Obediently followed Liu Ya out to eat.

Liu Xu'er has already set up the food in Liu Dacheng's room, and is waiting for Liu Ya and Xiao Shu'er to eat.

When Xiao Shuer entered the room, he sat on the edge of the Kang, grabbed the bowl and started to eat.Liu Ya pressed his hand and said: "Wash your hands. Don't be in a hurry when eating, chew slowly to digest."

"Yes, I will listen to the second sister." Xiao Shu'er immediately agreed, put down the dishes and went to wash her hands.

Seeing Xiao Shu'er like this, Liu Dacheng smiled.Asked: "Ya'er, what are you two siblings doing so mysteriously? Xiao Shu'er is a lot more obedient than before. In the past, he would fight with the Wu family's brats every now and then. Often bullied."

"I bought him some pens, ink and rice paper, and taught him to write well. He loves to learn, so he just obeys." Liu Ya said truthfully.

Liu Dacheng looked at the back of Xiaoshu'er washing his hands, and said with a long sigh of relief: "Okay, the children of our Liu family can also read and write, and they are promising."

After washing his hands, Xiao Shu'er sat back at the table while wiping, and said, "Father, if the girl is allowed to take the exam, I think the second sister can also come back as a scholar. All the characters I know are taught by the second sister." , the second sister must be more promising."

"Okay, it's enough for our family to have your future. The second sister earns a lot of money, and you will be the number one scholar in the future. I'm in business, and our family can cooperate with the government and businessmen." Liu Ya said, smiling and opening the oily paper bag wrapped in the roast duck. up.

This roasted duck is full of flavor. It smells delicious when the paper bag is not opened. Now that the oiled paper bag is opened, the roasted duck skin has a special burnt aroma.

Xiao Shu'er raised her nose and took a few deep breaths, and asked, "Second Sister, this is a duck, isn't it, it's really delicious roasted. It just looks... a bit burnt."

"Well, this is the roast duck made by Xiankeju in the city. It is famous far and wide. I heard that there are guests in the capital to eat it. I specially brought one back so that everyone can try it." After Liu Ya finished speaking, she pulled out the duck from behind. She took the ox horn knife she had been carrying with her all the time, washed the blade and wiped it dry with a white cloth, and then said: "As for the roast duck, you need to eat it in slices, let's see my craftsmanship. But the authentic way to eat it should be with green onions and sauce. Eat it with pancakes, it’s too late today, let’s try this first.”

Liu Ya's technique with the knife was dexterous and precise.The hands that were once used to kill people are now more than capable of slicing roast duck.

However, after passing through the outer layer of roast duck, Liu Ya used a knife to cut the inner meat a few times to have a look, her brows were slightly frowned, and then her eyes lit up, thinking that she had guessed the right way.

After all the skin and flesh of the roast duck were sliced ​​and placed neatly on the plate, Liu Ya told everyone to eat first, and then she went to wash her hands and the oil stains on the knife before returning and sitting at the dining table.
