Chapter 18 Men's Troubles

Seeing Zuo Qingsong not speaking, Dong Chenghu thought he had agreed and sighed deeply and comforted: "Hold on it anymore, it will be fine when my sister is born. At most, it will only be two months. You will definitely be relieved. Shuixiu has been making troubles these days. Sometimes she despised the weather was too hot and sometimes she despised the house was too boring. I don't know what to do.

She asked her to go out under the shade of the trees to enjoy the cool air, she said there was a sun, and said that the cicadas were making her feel upset. How did you think this was done?"

Zuo Qingsong came to Dong Chenghu for advice. Unexpectedly, Dong Chenghu's situation was not much better than his. The Dong family was better. In Cuizhu Mountain, there was a bamboo sea to cool off. No matter how bad it was, there was a cave before that to escape the summer heat. The valley where their family was located was hard to describe. If he hadn't built some tree species in the yard, they wouldn't have even a cool place except the house.

Although it is not very hot, it is unbearable for pregnant women like Dong Yunmei.

Two depressed men got together, but they had been struggling for most of the day and couldn't think of a good way.

Gu Shuixiu, who was at home, naturally did not expect Dong Chenghu to come up with any good way to let her escape the heat, so she took her mind to the stone flower. Last year, she planned to make up the stone flower, but she went to Zhishui County and did so many things, and she lost her mind at once. This year, she was so hot that she remembered the stone flower flower that she had forgotten in the corner of the warehouse.

Cui Xi and Luoying had not thought about the stone cauliflower that looked like straw before, but Gu Shuixiu had nothing to say, so they could only put the stone cauliflower aside.

Now that Gu Shuixiu proposed to get stone cauliflower, they were really shocked.

Cuixi looked through the warehouse for a while before finding all the stone cauliflower. Gu Shuixiu asked her to soak these stone cauliflower and wash the big pot.

In addition, Luo Ying was asked to come out some of the scraps of fine gauze. Last Spring Festival, they made a lot of clothes, and the remaining scraps were still stored, which was just right now.

When everything was ready, Cui Xi and Luo Ying were both curious, not knowing what Gu Shuixiu was going to do. Although the stone cauliflower was soaked and it looked very similar to kelp, it didn't look like it could be eaten, and I didn't know what the wife had to make this stone cauliflower into a dish.

Gu Shuixiu washed the soaked stone cauliflower and put it all into a boiling pot. After the water in the pot boiled, she simmered slowly over low heat until some residues left in the stewed stone cauliflower were turned off. The process was a bit long, and Gu Shuixiu was not in a hurry. After ordering Luoying to watch the fire, she immediately left the kitchen.

Joke, it was already hot enough that day, the kitchen was like a stove, especially next to the stove, which was simply not a place for people to stay.

After leaving the kitchen, Gu Shuixiu went back to her room for a nap. Since she became pregnant, she had the habit of taking a nap and couldn't move.

After she woke up, Luo Ying immediately came over to report that the stone cauliflower had melted, but she didn't say anything. The big pot of water that looked a little sticky didn't look like something to eat at all, and she secretly tasted it and almost vomited it out.

Gu Shuixiu completely ignored Luo Ying's unpredictable expression, but went to the kitchen happily and asked them to help. All the boiled water in the pot was filtered through gauze and into a clean wooden barrel.

The stone cauliflower juice filtered through four or five layers of fine gauze has been clean and clear like a stream. Gu Shuixiu told them to put this bucket of stone flowers in the stream and let it cool. When it is cool, a layer of fine gauze should be covered on it to prevent mosquitoes from flying in.

Luoying did all the work as Gu Shuixiu told her, but she waited for Gu Shuixiu's next instructions, but found that Gu Shuixiu seemed to have forgotten about the stone cauliflower and was busy making sugar water with Cuixi. She saw that there were dishes of large and small size on the wooden table under the shade of the garden, some containing brown sugar, some containing honey, and some containing nectar made by her wife herself, and many red fruits were on the side.

The red fruit is a small red fruit unique to Cuizhu Mountain. It is extremely red, but it is very fragile. When picking, you may break the skin of the fruit by accident. Once the skin is broken, the juice inside will flow out immediately and you will not be able to eat it in a moment.

However, this kind of fruit is very sweet after it turns red. Before, Liu Yueyi was pregnant, Qin Shan often came to them to pick it as snacks for Liu Yueyi. Now these fruits are also snacks for everyone.

However, the red fruits in front of Gu Shuixiu were not treated as snacks by her, but were all put in a bowl and mashed. But it was nothing. After Gu Shuixiu smashed these fruits, she actually put honey in it. You know, the red fruits are sweet enough, and how can you eat honey?

Luo Ying suddenly felt her throat choking when she looked at her.

Gu Shuixiu finished fiddling with these things and asked Luo Ying to take the wooden barrel back with a smile. At this time, Luo Ying had no idea how she reacted. After mechanically taking the wooden barrel back, she stood aside and looked at it with her big eyes open.

Gu Shuixiu took the wooden barrel and lifted the white gauze, touched the surface of the stone flower with her hand. The surface of the stone flower was very elastic, and she was overjoyed. It seemed that it was done.

Cuixi was surprised when she saw the Q-bomb of Shihua. Gu Shuixiu directly instructed them to bring long bamboo slices and drew several knifes on the stone flowers. The entire flat stone flowers were cut into small squares.

Gu Shuixiu couldn't wait to scoo up some, drizzled honey and small red fruit pulp on it, and then poured some cool white into it. The cold feeling conquered her taste buds, and her irritable mood seemed to calm down.

Until a bowl of stone flowers was finished, Gu Shuixiu saw Cuixi and Luoying were staring at her while swallowing saliva. Gu Shuixiu's face turned slightly red, and she asked them to eat with her. In addition, she asked them to go and call her back, so that they could try it out.

Dong Chenghu's first bite was wide open with surprise. He was not a person who liked to eat sweets, but this stone flower really made him unable to stop. The stone flower was originally tasteless, but after adding fruit pulp and honey, it had a unique flavor.

After Dong Chenghu finished eating, he remembered Zuo Qingsong and told him about Dong Yunmei's situation, so he asked Cuixi to send a little to the Zuo family. As a result, Zuo Qingsong came back with Cuixiu and said that Dong Yunmei liked it very much. He wanted to ask Gu Shuixu where to buy it or how to make it.

Gu Shuixiu smiled bitterly when she heard this, "Brother-in-law, this thing is very troublesome to make, and it is a cold thing. It's okay to eat it for a few bites occasionally, but pregnant women are not suitable for eating more, otherwise it will have a bad effect on the fetus."

After hearing this, Zuo Qingsong dared to let Gu Shuixiu do it, and said he didn't want it. Even Dong Chenghu repeatedly told Gu Shuixi not to be greedy, and asked Cuixi and others to stare at her.
