Dali Langjun’s Ancient Way of Raising a Family - Chapter 70

When Qi You took people to harvest crops in the fields, the new county magistrate took office.

Qi You was busy in the dark every day, and when it was still winter, Lu Zixuan personally brought the things to the door and told him the news by the way.

Lu Zixuan seemed very calm, “Brother Qi, don’t panic, the county magistrate is sensible.” He blinked and said playfully.

Qi You is speechless, can you a businessman say that the county magistrate? But soon he realized, what is “sensible”? Isn’t it just on the road?

It seems that the other party won’t come to find his fault, Qi You is undoubtedly relieved, after all, he can live a leisurely life, who wants to calculate every day.

Compared with the county magistrate’s affairs, Lu Zixuan was obviously more interested in the situation on the top of the mountain, “How is the porcelain burning? Is there any progress?”

Qi You shook his head, and Lu Zixuan also knew that this matter could not come in a hurry, otherwise the price of porcelain would not remain high.

Qi You: “I heard from the people below that the temperature can’t go up, ordinary pots and bowls are okay, and it’s very difficult to get good-quality porcelain. So I plan to cut wood this winter.”

“At that time, the wood will be used to burn charcoal and sent to the porcelain for burning. I plan to make some plans for people to plant some crops.”

Lu Zixuan frowned, “Will it be a bit risky?” He had heard people say that in some places, there was a lot of logging on the mountain, and then angered the mountain **** and vented the mountain torrent.

Qi You: “No. Don’t worry, I won’t make a joke about the lives of thousands of people.” Other things may be worried about, but the possibility of mudslides on the terraces is very small, almost non-existent.

The cause of the mud-rock flow is the torrents formed by the torrential rains and floods that will be saturated and diluted by the soft soil mountains that contain sand and rock. Terraces do not constitute a condition.

And he has taken in more than 2,000 people this year-the refugees in Jincheng and some small forces around him, now plus the original number of people on the mountain, there are more than 3,000 and almost 4,000. Nearly 70% of them are young people, with mouths everywhere, wanting to eat.

He doesn’t go out to farm more on the hour, what to eat?

Speaking of farming, Qi You thought of something, and left a sentence of “wait for me”, got up and went to the kitchen.

Lu Zixuan was puzzled, and he sat there and waited.

Soon Qi You came back. He still had a bowl in his hand. Qi You smiled and handed it over, “Try it, do you think it tastes good?”

“What is this? It’s dark.” After all, Lu Zixuan reached out and picked up the thing. He watched Qi You tear off the black skin on the outside, revealing the white inside, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, “This…”

With his stunned effort, Qi You had already finished one, and Lu Zixuan followed by taking a bite, a taste that he had never tasted before, soft and sweet, with a fragrance unique to plants.

“How about it, it tastes good.” Qi You was a little proud.

Lu Zixuan nodded, “It’s delicious.” He finished the rest in two bites and asked, “What the **** is this, I haven’t seen it before.”

Qi You blinked, and an idea came to his mind, “This, it’s called taro. Of course, it also has an alias called Zhenxinyu.”

Lu Zixuan: “Huh?”

Really? Let him play.

Does he seem to be cheating.

Qi You’s eyebrows drooped, pretending to be sad, “Brother Lu, you don’t understand. It is rumored that this taro was originally a mountain elf, and his initial appearance was not like this. Instead, he was born white and tender, so handsome. He was cultivating in the mountains. For hundreds of years, I lived a carefree life. Until one day, a woman walking on the mountain came. She was separated from her servant, lonely and helpless, weak and pitiful, and she could only squat on the ground and cry.”

The corners of Lu Zixuan’s mouth began to twitch.

Qi You felt as if he was possessed by a playful spirit, immersed in his own world, and said emotionally: “Taro looked around for a while, and his heart tightened suddenly. He couldn’t bear her tears, so he showed up and stepped forward to comfort him. Nothing. Thinking that the two fell in love at first sight, they were secretly in love. Later, the lady always looked for opportunities to go up the mountain and avoid the servants again and again, which finally aroused the alarm of the family. It happened that a Taoist priest passed by their house and threatened that the lady’s house was going to be a demon. She was so angry that she wanted to cast down the demons. The lady didn’t believe it. Under the coaxing of the Taoist priests, she went up the mountain and found the lover. Before the two had time to talk, the Taoist appeared, trying to stab the taro with a sword. In order to protect him, the lady was Stabbed to death. Taro was sad and sad, fighting with the Taoist priest in the dark. The Taoist priest was beaten away, but the catastrophe did not end. Suddenly, the cloudless sky suddenly rolled in, thunder bursts, and a shock of thunder struck the taro. Then the second and third… The body of Miss Taro Cannot stand was destroyed and stood above her. Seven or seventy-nine thunders smashed the original white noodles into black charcoal.”

The corners of Lu Zixuan’s eyes also began to twitch.

Qi You didn’t realize it: “At this time, the dark clouds finally disappeared and the blue sky reappeared. But the taro was dying. He looked at the pale face of the young lady and couldn’t bear her young life passing away, so he used his only true essence to save life. Miss, and he has also become the current black taro.”

Lu Zixuan:…………

This feeling of thunder and abuse is swollen?

Qi You held the taro in his hand, his eyes full of affection, “As long as you tear away my ugly appearance, you can see my pure inside. That is my true heart for you.”

Lu Zixuan couldn’t help rubbing his arms, mother, the goose bumps were all up.

As soon as Qi You’s “affectionateness” was collected, he changed back to its original appearance, and said confidently: “So what’s wrong with calling it sincere.”

Qi You: “If a man falls in love with a woman, he invites her to eat taro. This represents love without regrets. Let me thunder, and I will never change you until death. Isn’t it poignant and romantic?”

Lu Zixuan choked: “Poor beauty is poignant.” He hesitated, “But such a thing, it’s really, it’s really hard to be elegant.”

Qi Youmeng covered his chest and looked at Lu Zixuan condemningly, “Brother Lu, Brother Lu, I didn’t expect we met once, and today I learned that you are such a superficial person.”

Lu Zixuan: “I am not, I don’t have…”

Lu Zixuan shook his head into a rattle. Qi You’s expression improved. He turned around and took out a basket of taro from nowhere and handed it to him. Taro has always been soft to the young lady. If you don’t follow suit, you will be cursed by Taro.”

Qi You looked gloomy, and Lu Zixuan swallowed unconsciously, “What is the curse?”

Qi You touched the small taro with affection, “If you don’t need to roast it to soften, just cut off its outer skin, touch its cold and hard inside, your hands will become very itchy and unbearable.”

Lu Zixuan blinked, “So mysterious?”

Qi You shrugged barely, “If you don’t believe me, try it.”

Lu Zixuan’s little chicken nodded like a peck, “I believe I believe.”

“Brother Lu has taken this kind of baby and wants to go home and share it with his family immediately, I won’t stop Brother Lu.” Qi You “send” the person away in a couple of strokes.

Lu Zixuan standing in the mountains holding a basket of taro: (⊙x⊙;)

When a cold wind blew, he was agitated and sneezed.

He shook his feet and hurried down the mountain.

After he went back, he wanted to see if this thing was as mysterious as Qi You said.

Miao’er came back carrying a hare, and when she saw Lu Zixuan walking away with something in her arms, she was still a little curious about what was so urgent that she left without eating lunch.

When she returned home, she saw Qi You lying on the table with a smile while clutching her belly. Her mood also improved. She stepped forward and asked, “Brother You, what makes you happy?”

Qi You wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes, and then looked at Miao’er and smiled: “It’s nothing, it’s just that I just fooled a little idiot. I think of it now and look overwhelmed with joy.”

Miao’er: “What little fool?”

Qi You told Miao’er what Lu Zixuan had said before.

Miao’er: You are too skinny too (ー_ー)!!

Qi You didn’t care about the collapse of his image. He got up and took Miao’er into the kitchen, “Anyway, I mentioned taro today. I’ll make you dessert at noon.”

“Oh?” Miao’er raised an eyebrow.

Qi You was upset, “What is your expression, don’t believe me, I have to make it for you today.”

He took out the taro that was roasted before, peeled it neatly, and then crushed it with a spoon to form a mashed taro. If there is no starch, use flour instead, add some honey, eggs, and some water, and stir well.

Qi You was busy here, and Miao’er was not free. She bled the rabbits neatly and skillfully peeled the skins and took the rabbit meat.

She moved quickly and was done quickly, then washed her hands, and then came to see what Qi You did.

Everything was fine in front, until she saw Qi You pour a lot of soybean oil in the pot, her eyelids jumped.

“Brother You, this is too wasteful.” Miao’er felt a little distressed. Although this soybean oil is not bought with money, it takes a lot of effort to squeeze out such two catties of oil.

Qi You: “It’s okay, it doesn’t cost much oil.” He reached out to test the temperature of the oil, and felt that it was almost the same, so he used a spoon to scoop a spoonful of the mixed taro mash.

With the crackling sound, the taro cakes gradually took shape. Qi You felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart. He watched the taro cakes gradually turn golden, and hurriedly turned them over with his chopsticks.

“Hiss”, the oil drop suddenly splashed, Qi You retracted his hand in pain. Because of this delay, the taro cake did not turn over successfully, and in a short while, it turned from golden to black, but the upper layer was still raw.

Miao Er said helplessly, “Brother You, I’ll do this kind of thing.”

“Miao’er, it was an accident just now. I think what I did is okay.” Qi You respected himself. By the way, I turned the taro cakes in the pot with chopsticks, anyway, it must be fried.

“Why don’t I make a few more, I will definitely be fine next.” Qi You said not to give up.

Miao’er looked at him without saying a word.

Qi You did a few more beautifully, but the results were not ideal.

Miao’er sighed, “Forget it, I’ll do it.”

She took the spoon and started to follow Qi You’s method. She controlled the heat very well. Afterwards, all the taro cakes fried in her hand were golden brown and incredibly beautiful, and they were very appetizing at first glance.

Qi You was silent. Forget it, he can’t make things, he can eat.

He just wanted to eat his failed product, but a pair of chopsticks grabbed it first.

Miao’er bit off the darkened edge of the taro cake. Katz made a noise, ignoring the bitter taste in her mouth and swallowed. She pursed her mouth and smiled: “It’s still good, it’s crispy.”

Looking at her smiling face, Qi You couldn’t help touching her head and rubbing it.

Why is it so pleasurable.
