The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 32 The Snow Sisters Open a Small Kitchen
"Your father really loves you." Qiao Jiuxiu said enviously. She really envied such a father. He traveled thousands of miles to meet his in-laws for his daughter's marriage. Even in modern times, few fathers like this can do it. of.

"I have no mother since I was a child, and my father only has me as a daughter, so he loves me very much, and my three brothers also love me very much. By the way, Jiuxiu, if you marry my brother, then we It's a family." Ye Duanyi said here with a face full of excitement, "My three older brothers are all good-looking talents, and their skills are extraordinary, there must be one you like."

Qiao Jiuxiu couldn't help laughing, "Sister Ye, why did you become a matchmaker for me? After you become my sister-in-law, we are also a family!" After speaking, the two girls laughed.

On this day, Ye Duanyi stayed in Qiao Jiuxiu's room for a long time before leaving. Because it was an assembly line job, she made three purses in total, which greatly exceeded Qiao Jiuxiu's expectations, and all her previous worries were gone. It's gone.

The heavy snow is still falling, and there is no intention of stopping at all. I wonder if tomorrow will be a sunny day?

The next day, the goose feather heavy snow was still falling, but it was smaller than yesterday, and the sky was not so dark. Ye Duanyi came to Qiao Jiuxiu's yard early, and the three of them began to divide the work as yesterday.

"According to this order, it won't take long to complete the tasks assigned by my mother." Qiao Jiuxiu was very happy. If it wasn't for the help of Jinxiu and Ye Duanyi, she would definitely have to get up early every day and stay in the dark.

"Yes, not only can it be over-finished, but it can also be done a few days in advance, and there will be plenty of time to prepare new clothes for the New Year." Jinxiu is also very happy. After yesterday's day of tailoring, her technique has become more and more proficient. , and the cropping speed is also much faster.

"Yeah, since our speed is so fast, how about we have a small stove tonight and have a good time?" Ye Duanyi, who likes to be lively, suggested.

"Small stove?" Qiao Jiuxiu was a little surprised, this Ye Duanyi really didn't worry about the chaos in the world, she was restrained by his wife tactfully, she dared to have a good time, "Isn't it appropriate?"

"If there's anything inappropriate, just a few of us, and then call the eldest sister and the maid in her room, and let's set up a table. This weather is the most suitable for drinking and talking." Ye Duanyi said, looking at the outside It was covered with snow, if it was in the General's Mansion, she would have asked her three brothers to drink together in such weather.

"This..." Qiao Jiuxiu was a little embarrassed, this time she really didn't dare, but there was a voice in her heart urging her to nod and agree, so Qiao Jiuxiu turned her head to look at Jinxiu, and asked what Jinxiu meant with her eyes.

Jinxiu thought for a while before she opened her mouth, "Since Ms. Ye proposed, let's set up a small table. Then I'll ask Mother Yao in the kitchen to cook us some side dishes. It's okay." Jinxiu calculated in her heart Then, she is better than Qiao Jiuxiu when it comes to living, "Miss, do you still remember the two jars of pear blossom wine we buried in the ground last summer? It's time to dig them out and drink them."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, she still remembered that last summer, when she saw the pear blossoms in the yard, she could not stop sighing. When Jinxiu asked her why she sighed, she told Jinxiu that the summer flowers were bright, but in autumn they would all turn into mud. Jinxiu came up with an idea, which was to collect the morning dew and make wine from these pear blossoms and bury them in the ground, so that the taste of pear blossoms could be remembered forever.

So last year, Jinxiu and Qiao Jiuxiu buried two jars of pear blossom wine in the ground in the yard. If Jinxiu hadn’t reminded her, Qiao Jiuxiu would have almost forgotten about it. After Jinxiu said this, Qiao Jiuxiu also wanted to try it. Taste the pear wine.

"Pear blossom wine? That's great, I just want to drink pear blossom wine!" Ye Duanyi immediately became happy when she heard that there was pear blossom wine, she took out a tael of silver from her pocket and handed it to Jinxiu, "Jinxiu, you Take the money and go to the kitchen to get a few appetizers, and then get a few catties of beef and mutton and some vegetables, this is the most suitable day for cooking."

Qiao Jiuxiu also agreed very much when she heard it. In such a cold weather, there is nothing more delicious than a pot, but how can Ye Duanyi take this money?

"Sister Ye, you came to my place to help, how can I use your money?" Qiao Jiuxiu got up to stop Ye Duanyi, but she pushed her on the stool, "Ninth Sister said that, you are out of touch, you are in Qiao's mansion. Life is not easy, one or two taels of silver may be life-saving money for you, but I am different, my father gives me ten taels of silver pocket money every month, if it is not enough, I can let him take it, so one or two taels Silver is nothing to me, so you don't have to be polite to me, Ninth Sister."

When Qiao Jiuxiu heard what Ye Duanyi said, she felt very warm in her heart. Ye Duanyi's words were very sincere, which moved her very much. Ye Duanyi knew and understood her situation very well. What else can Qiao Jiuxiu say?

"Then respect is worse than obedience." Qiao Jiuxiu said and called Mei Xiang to invite Qiao Yuanxiu. As soon as Mei Xiang heard that she was going to Qiao Yuanxiu's yard, she immediately trotted out happily without any reluctance.

While Jinxiu took a tael of silver and Chan'er went to the bigger kitchen, while Liu'er and Lu'er were left to prepare the pot.

"These girls are foodies, and they are not usually so diligent." Qiao Jiuxiu couldn't help laughing seeing the girls busy with their hearts. These girls usually don't know where to hide when they have to work. , Today I heard that there is a pot to eat but I am so diligent, it is really a group of children.

"Let them go. My maids usually like to eat, I always take them to try." Ye Duanyi laughed, her two big eyes completed a pair of crescent moons, Qiao Jiuxiu looked at Ye Duanyi's smile and felt mixed feelings Maybe it's better to be a maid beside Ye Duanyi than to be a concubine of the Qiao family?

Because of the general mobilization of the whole hospital, everything progressed very quickly. Liu'er and Lu'er quickly set up the table and pot. Under the pot was a charcoal basin with high-quality black charcoal inside. This will ensure that the pot is always hot and boiling.

After a while, Jinxiu and Chan'er also came back, with even more large and small bags in their hands, Liu'er and Lu'er also hurried forward to take down the things they were carrying, and opened them one by one, all wrapped in oiled paper There are all kinds of fresh meat and vegetables, with a lot of weight and a lot of styles. It seems that the one tael of money was well spent.

"Now I'm waiting for Big Sister." Qiao Jiuxiu also felt a little hungry at the moment, so she didn't have the mood to continue embroidery, so she came to the table to finish. Looking at the dishes and delicacies on the table, she had to move her index finger.

"Miss is here!" Before entering the door, Mei Xiang shouted from outside, and Lu'er immediately opened the door, and it was indeed Qiao Yuanxiu who led the maidservants in, and before entering the inner room, she heard Qiao Yuanxiu's smile "I heard that my younger sister has a small stove here, sister, I'm here to eat."

Qiao Jiuxiu also laughed, stood up and greeted Qiao Yuanxiu, "Big sister is joking, big sister can come and younger sister is too late to be happy!"

"Yes, you sisters are very affectionate, but you left me alone." Ye Duanyi deliberately made an unhappy expression, and soon laughed again, and the three girls laughed together.

"Big sister, why didn't sister Pearl come?" Qiao Liuxiu asked with a smile when she realized that she didn't see Pearl, the eldest maid beside Qiao Yuanxiu.

"Sister Pearl is sick, so she stayed in the courtyard to rest." Before Qiao Yuanxiu could speak, Hong Xiu, the maid who came with her, spoke. one of.

"Why is Sister Pearl sick?" Qiao Jiuxiu couldn't help asking with concern, she didn't usually go around with Pearl much, but she knew that Jinxiu was on good terms with her, so she asked for Jinxiu.

"I don't know. Zhuzhu's complexion is not very good these days, her stomach is not very good, and she vomited a lot this morning, so I let her rest." Qiao Yuanxiu also showed a worried expression, but soon changed Put on a faint smile, came to the table and sat down, "Two sisters, come here quickly, let's start eating!"

Ye Duanyi smiled and sat beside Qiao Yuanxiu, and called Qiao Jiuxiu to sit there, but Qiao Jiuxiu walked over thoughtfully, but she was thinking about Pearl.What disease can make a daughter's family vomit?Qiao Jiuxiu couldn't help but feel a little worried. Ladies like Qiao Yuanxiu and Ye Duanyi naturally wouldn't think too much, after all, they didn't know much about their daughter's family, but they traveled from a highly developed modern age. Yes, nature is more sensitive to these, pearls will not be..
Qiao Jiuxiu thinks it's not what she thinks, maybe she thinks too much.

"Sister Hongxiu, you and Sister Qinglian sit down and eat too. You are guests, so let us serve you!" Jinxiu greeted Hongxiu and Qinglian who came with Qiao Yuanxiu, insisting that they sit down and eat the pot. , while she, Liu Er and others were serving on the sidelines. Mei Xiang had already sat down and started eating.

"Jinxiu, please sit down too. Since it's a small stove, of course everyone has a share. Today we don't have to serve anyone else, just take care of ourselves." Qiao Yuanxiu asked Jinxiu and the others to sit down, Jinxiu immediately looked at Qiao Jiuxiu, Qiao Jiuxiu Nodding to her, Jinxiu sat down.

"Yes, today we are all good sisters. There is no relationship between master and servant. The important thing is that everyone eats to their heart's content." Ye Duanyi also laughed, picked up a large piece of mutton and put it into the pot. It is already boiling hot at this time, so the mutton slices are cooked as soon as they are put in.
