The Qiqiao Festival is the Qixi Festival, the day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet on the magpie bridge.
Although the historical wheel of this world has long gone astray, some important customs are similar to the ancient China in Li Yi's memory, and have not changed in any way.
There is a room in the village that is specially used for collecting 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.
There are countless books, scattered and piled up in the room, and Li Yi would take one when he has nothing to do. In order to find out what kind of fucking world this is, Li Yi has been going there a lot these days hang around.
Begging for cleverness, as the name suggests, this day is the day when girls and women beg for skillful skills from Zhinu.
Legend has it that Zhinu is a beautiful, intelligent, ingenious fairy with a pair of skillful hands who can weave clouds and weave the most beautiful brocades in the world.
On the 7th day of the seventh month, women in the world beg Zhinu for wisdom and skills. Of course, some girls who are pregnant with spring and young women whose marriage life is not very happy will also beg her to give them a good marriage.
Li Yi has always felt that it is a nonsense thing for Zhinu to bless him to meet a good marriage. Zhinu and Niulang only meet once a year, and his marriage is on the verge of breaking up. How can he have any free time to bless so many lonely people? woman…
Because all the people participating in Qiqiao are women, Qiqiao Festival is also called "Daughter's Day" and "Girl's Day". Or hide under the grape trellis on the night of Qixi Festival and listen to the love story between Zhinu and Cowherd without shame...
In a word, if you see your daughter-in-law, sister-in-law and your maids behaving differently than usual in the days before Qixi Festival, don't be confused or panic, it's all normal.
After these information appeared in his mind, Li Yi was not surprised by their behavior.
Li Yi has never even heard of these activities and customs, such as threading a needle to beg for cleverness, happy spiders to respond to cleverness, throwing needles to test for cleverness, orchid night to fight for cleverness, Li Yi can only sigh that the women in the village really know how to play...
But this is also good, it’s better to celebrate the Qixi Festival in later generations. The fixed custom may be that every Qixi Festival, there will always be many people under the banner of Chinese Valentine’s Day. , I am afraid that even the origin of the Qixi Festival or the Weaver Girl has been completely forgotten by everyone.
To some extent, Li Yi prefers this backward and conservative era.
Now that the Qiqiao Festival is coming, I can find another reason to give the children a holiday, but the children who used to like holidays the most, now they often count on their fingers, and they can go to school again in a few days—that monkey’s The story just got to the wonderful place.
Seeing Xiaohuan enter the kitchen with two clay pots in his arms, Li Yi followed him in, and asked with some doubts, "What is this?"
"This is sesame oil, and this is icing sugar." Xiaohuan put down the two clay pots and pointed to each of them.
"Sesame oil? Icing sugar?" Li Yi was taken aback when he heard this, and looked at the two clay pots, and suddenly his face brightened.
"This is... sesame oil? This, is it white sugar?"
Xiaohuan nodded beside him, and said, "Young Master is so smart, sesame oil is made from sesame seeds, and it will be Qiqiao Festival in two days, we have to make some Qiaoguo in advance."
Li Yi didn't know what Qiaoguo was, and he didn't want to know, and he couldn't hear what Xiaohuan said. At this moment, Li Yi only had these two clay pots in his eyes.
To be precise, the contents of the clay pot.
My God, I have been here for so long, and I finally saw white sugar and vegetable oil!
In Li Yi's mind, the tender and delicious fried chicken cutlet, and the sweet and sour pork tenderloin that makes his mouth water when he thinks about it...
Xiaohuan saw his uncle staring at the earthen pot with sesame oil and icing sugar in his eyes, as if thinking of something, his little face changed suddenly, and he took a step to stand in front of Li Yi, looking at him pitifully Xi said: "Grandpa, the sesame oil and icing sugar are used to make qiaoguo. There is only a little of this in the stockade. It can't be wasted..."
"What is waste? We are doing business. We don't have tenderloin. Let's fry a chicken chop first..." Li Yi rubbed the little girl's head, and stretched out a hand to the jar of sesame oil.
"no!"
The little maid suddenly became anxious, and hugged Li Yi's hand, not letting him take another step forward.
This bit of sesame oil and icing sugar was bought by all the girls in the village in order to prepare Qiaoguo. The price of the sesame oil is so expensive that it would be impossible to see it on weekdays if it wasn't for the Qiqiao Festival.
Li Yi didn't expect that the little maid who was usually cute and obedient to him would be so tough in this matter, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward...
Although the little girl is not very old, her figure has almost grown, and the place that should be convex is convex, and the place that should be raised is warped. Li Yi's arm was held in her arms, shaking and rubbing constantly, and it was inevitable that he would bump into it. Two lumps are soft.
This is the first time that Li Yichang felt such a seductive temptation at such a young age. He suddenly felt the blood rushing up, and his brain was a little bit short of blood supply. He hurriedly said: "Okay, if Xiaohuan says no, let me go first..."
"Really?" Xiaohuan asked with some disbelief, blinking her big innocent eyes.
"Really!" Li Yi nodded sincerely.
After all, it is the heart of a girl. Seeing Li Yi's swearing 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 hands rubbed his arm a little uneasy. He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Li Yi.
"Are you aware of being shy at this time?" Li Yi glanced at the shy look of the little maid, couldn't help being a little amused, rolled his eyes, and suddenly said, "Xiaohuan, why don't we discuss it?"
"Shang... discuss what?"
The little maid continued to lower her head and rub the corner of her clothes, her voice was as low as a mosquito.
It has to be said that Li Yi is still very talented in such things as deceiving bear children and inducing ignorant girls.
Not long after, under Li Yi's half-seductive and half-forced method, Xiaohuan had to reach an agreement with him.
What kind of "Qiaoguo", Li Yi can help her make it. While ensuring the quantity of Qiaoguo, the remaining sesame oil and icing sugar can be kept without returning it...
Anyway, they don't know exactly how much they used, and there was nothing left in previous years.
Xiaohuan didn't have any doubts about Li Yi's cooking skills, but simply told him how to cook Qiaoguo, and then went out to do other things.
Seeing the pretty figure of the little maid walking out, Li Yi's mouth curled into a smile.
Want to return the things in his hand
dream!
