It's just using different fonts to write the character "小福", and there are a hundred of them. What's the problem?
Hearing Cheng Lezhou say that all the classmates in the academy agreed, Yan Yu's steps became a little lighter.
This is the alternative she came up with.
Even if everyone practices the same font, there will be subtle differences, and everyone's way and strength of writing are different.
We have been classmates for several years and have become very familiar with each other. Since the person who wrote the first letter wants to be different from the former, the person who writes later can always stagger the difference by enlarging or reducing the font size or making fuss about vertical and horizontal strokes.
Moreover, today's literati will not just write in one font, and one person can write a few. There is no need to recruit a hundred people, only twenty or thirty people can do it.
"I will take the red paper to the academy tomorrow, waiter, how much space is left for the word "大福" in the middle?" Cheng Lezhou has seen Yan Hushu's handwriting. The characters are smooth and smooth, hiding an edge. The person he knows
, are all inferior.
He subconsciously thought that the waiter would leave the position of the word "大福" in the middle to Yan Hushu, so he asked this question.
"Of course I have to write the big blessing in the middle first, and then I can write the small blessings on the side!" Yan Yu said matter-of-factly.
If the priorities are reversed, it will be difficult for the big and small blessing characters to be harmonious.
Yan Yu: "Brother Cheng, I think it's inappropriate for you to take them to the academy to write. Why don't you invite all the classmates who are willing to help to our shop. I will set up the writing desks and prepare pen and ink in front of you. After class, you can bring them to our shop."
Would you mind bringing it?"
"Okay, I'll bring them over tomorrow." Cheng Lezhou said.
What I was thinking was that even though the waiter was young, he actually acted thoughtfully.
Yan Yu wanted to say that there was no need to be in such a hurry, but then she thought about it and thought it would be good to write the word "Hundred Blessings" earlier, so she said, "Then I will go to your house tonight and ask my uncle to write the word "Big Blessing".
Cheng Lezhou:......
He actually wanted to ask his father to write it?
While the two were talking, they arrived at the kitchen.
If Cheng Lezhou comes to Yan's house to stay for a meal, the kitchen is his exclusive place to eat.
In the past, it was because the men in the family were not at home, but later... I got used to it.
Yan Yu brought the person in and ran out.
She had to bring over the green onions she had just cut, and she had to send a portion to her father.
Grandma Rong nodded towards Cheng Lezhou and went about her business.
Cheng Lezhou was also used to it. He set up the small square table by himself, picked up two small horses from the wall, and placed them one by one.
After Mrs. Rong put the shredded potatoes and soybean sprouts on two plates on the table, Cheng Lezhou took the chopsticks and bowls, one for the waiter and one for himself.
The pancakes are still steaming after being taken out of the pan. If you like the ones that are chewy and chewy, just roll them up. If you don’t like the thick ones, you can tear them apart and divide them into two layers.
Yan Yu ran in with a hint of coolness, holding a basin in his hand, which contained emerald green shallots, which had just been washed and were still stained with dew. Looking at the green color, Cheng Lezhou could not help but swallow.
"Brother Cheng, why are you waiting for me? Eat quickly, while the cake is hot... By the way, wash your hands!" Yan Yugang was about to find a basin, but Aunt Rong had already brought the hot water to her.
"Aunt Rong, it was so timely!" Yan Yuzai scrubbed carefully.
If you are in a hurry to eat, you have to wait until she is clean first.
Cheng Lezhou silently lined up behind the waiter.
At first, he was treated with a separate basin of water. After he was polite twice, the waiter washed him first and then washed him.
After all, Grandma Rong is not a real person. After recording her so-called "habits", she has been following the guests' unique habits...
Yan Yu rolled one for himself and did not forget to roll one for Cheng Lezhou.
Although she doesn't stick to trivial matters at home, relying on her current age, the rules are a bit casual, but Yan Yu is still very careful when there are outsiders.
"Brother Cheng, how much did you put in?" Yan Yu asked, looking at Xiao Cong.
"I'll do it by myself, I'll do it by myself." The Yan family is hospitable and kind. Every time he asks for a meal, the waiter will come over to eat with him. Even though it's not a big meal, he behaves like the host and warmly greets him to eat here and there.
Needless to say, in the waiter's mouth, there is nothing that is not delicious. He talks about everything clearly and tastes even better.
When dining with the waiter, Cheng Lezhou eats more than usual every time.
Yan Yu handed it to him and focused on his own burrito.
With a very serious face, she arranged the shredded potatoes in a straight line, asking them not to stretch their arms or legs outside the line. Then she took her rare green onions, cut them into sections, and garnished them on the shredded potatoes. They must be evenly distributed to ensure that each
You can take every bite, and finally there is the sauce. I took a spoonful and shook my hands in different positions...
Finally, once the pancake is wrapped, the bottom and sides are closed, one hand holds the bottom and the other hand holds the middle, oh, a big mouthful!
Cheng Lezhou didn't miss the waiter eating during the whole process.
I saw her shaking her head slightly, her eyes narrowed, her cheeks bulging... she looked delicious.
I wasn't hungry before, but now I feel hungry.
…
After dinner, Yan Yu invited Cheng Lezhou into the room again. The two determined the size of the red paper. Seeing that it was still early, Yan Yu asked a few more questions about the spring exam.
After sending the person away, Yan Yu returned to the house.
Li Xuemei: "He is a good child, I wonder if your uncle likes him or not."
Yan Yu enthusiastically left him behind because her mother wanted to see him again.
I've seen it before, but I didn't think of anything else at that time.
The points of attention are different, and the directions of observation are also different.
In the past, I was just an ordinary guest at home. The relationship with Mr. Arita, whether it was far or close, was just a guest relationship.
Looking back at it this time, I can't help but feel a little picky in my heart. Li Xuemei thinks this change of mind is quite strange.
Unexpectedly, my first experience was not with my daughter, but with Qianchu.
"That's why I asked him if he was sure he would be dismissed next year and if he was sure about the exam." Yan Yu, like a young adult, had a bulging face and a very serious expression: "If he can pass the exam, there will be some hope. At least he will be successful.
He is on the line to pass, but if he fails in the examination room, then don’t think about anything else, my uncle, I’m afraid I really don’t like him.”
Li Xuemei also nodded and said: "I have gradually guessed your uncle's plan for Qianchu. He should find it among scholars. Your eldest sister is very delicate and needs to find a handsome husband-in-law so that they can talk together.
go."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! For a rough and twitchy man, that life would be impossible.
Yan Yu nodded and shook his head.
"It is certain to be a scholar. As for career, it is actually not important. If you only love studying and don't want to be an official, I don't think my uncle will deny it directly. Everyone has his own way of living, and that person likes to squat at home with a lot of knowledge.
Who are you bothering? It’s good to live a small life like this, and it’s also suitable for a big sister.
But who among the scholars doesn’t want to get a good name? In my uncle’s opinion, after studying for so many years, he can’t even pass the threshold of becoming a scholar, especially in Guanzhou... I wouldn’t be able to bear it.”
A scumbag like her father was forced to make progress by his uncle.
People who have seriously studied books for several years will not pass the exam... The uncle will definitely put a cross on that person's face with a thick pen.
"And my uncle also said that only scholars without fame dare to indulge in indulgences. People with fame and ambitions in officialdom do not dare to do anything wrong at all, and are more concerned about reputation, honor and disgrace. It is like people who are wearing loose shackles and commit crimes.
If he makes a mistake, the shackles will tighten and make him uncomfortable..."
Li Xuemei rolled her eyes cryptically.
The child's uncle actually taught the young boy that he didn't have these skills.
They say they should let their children be free and not be trapped in their identity as a girl, but in fact, what does this teach them!
Is this something you can say in front of your children?
"With restraint, it is not easy to go out of line. The prerequisite for making fewer mistakes is to understand the rules." Yan Yu said clearly: "Finding someone like this is also suitable for the eldest sister."
Li Xuemei: You know, you, a little girl who has never even been with a partner, what do you know?
Eh? Did this kid secretly have sex with friends when he was in school?
She looked at her daughter suspiciously.
Yan Yu noticed that something was wrong with her mother's gaze, and asked doubtfully: "Mom, do you think what I said is wrong? But I think that's what my uncle thinks."
Li Xuemei's eyes narrowed a bit, "What you are saying is that your uncle himself is too outstanding. I believe more and more when you say that he can be a high official in the future. If such a person cannot stand out, who can stand out? He himself
Such an outstanding son-in-law has such high eye sockets. Let's wait for your uncle to come back and find an opportunity to call the boy from the Cheng family and let him take a look. Your uncle will understand everything.
To be honest, if he doesn't get the truth right, let's stop that boy from the Cheng family from coming again, so that he doesn't worry about it in vain and gets deeper into the situation."
Li Xuemei is so kind.
What I thought was that if it didn’t work, I would end it early.
She suddenly thought of something and asked her daughter: "Dabao, is Dr. An, the doctor at the front, married?"
"Little Doctor An is getting engaged. We are family friends and they are also practicing medicine. The woman is young, so the marriage has never been consummated. My father couldn't ask more questions, so he thought that when Little Doctor An gets married, we have to
Backup gift.”
"That's what it should be." Li Xuemei said: "Little Doctor An remembers the medical book. We understand that it is useless to keep it in our hands. It is better to give it to someone who can use it. Now look, Doctor An's people
It would be a pity if he had not been engaged... The An family has been practicing medicine for generations and has a good reputation. It is a family that has accumulated good fortune. It would be good if your eldest sister married..."
"Second brother Cheng can do it too. He wins because he doesn't have a mother-in-law!" Yan Yu couldn't help but say something in favor of Cheng Lezhou.
"How does your eldest sister... treat him?" Li Xuemei asked.
Yan Yu thought about it carefully.
Said: "To be honest, the eldest sister may have some thoughts, but her thoughts are too shallow. At most, it is just... a good impression?"
Li Xuemei understood.
"Xiaoer, daddy is going to make candy!" Yan Laoer shouted in the yard.
Yan Yu's eyes lit up, and she quickly added clothes to herself, got off the kang and put on her shoes in one go.
"Come on, come on! Dad, wait for me, don't get angry yet, wait for me!"
Yan Laoer hit his daughter like a cannonball.
He smiled and said: "If you're not busy, dad will definitely be waiting for you!"
His daughter must be used for the next process, why not wait.
Yan Yu didn't care about her father instructing her to work, hehe, she was very happy and enjoyed it.
"Is it ready to ferment?" Yan Yu poked it with her finger.
"As long as Aunt Rong said it's okay, just squeeze it with a little force, and what you squeeze out is sugar water," Yan Laoer said.
"okay!"
There’s nothing more to say, let’s get started!
Yan Laoer was beside him and muttered uneasily: "That's about right. Pay attention to the basin, pay attention to the basin... Yes, your method is good. You can squeeze it with your hands. Alas, your hands are too small. Let me think about it and I will find it for you.
Go to the drawer..."
Yan Yu put his hands together and squeezed out a stream of water, leaving only dry dregs on his hands.
It's not wasteful at all.
But my hands are too small, so the efficiency of doing this is too low.
After Yan Laoer found the cloth, the situation immediately changed.
Yan Yu twisted and twisted, and the sugar water dripped down.
Father and daughter are having fun.
Yan Laoer kept saying to the side: "Not bad, really good, my daughter, you did a great job! We won't sell it this time. When dad makes the candies, they will all belong to my daughter."
, What you want to eat for yourself, what you want to give to others, it’s all yours! You have the final say!”
Yan Yu thought about it happily: "Dad, I want to play with sugar syrup. You bought it for me at the stall in front of the school when I was a child. Do you still remember? My mother said it was unhygienic, so she didn't let me eat it. When I arrived,
I still remember how sweet the sugar was!"
Yan Laoer nodded first: "Zhongzhong, let you play, let you stretch, this is nothing..." He suddenly remembered: "Eh? That's not right, your mother didn't let you eat it, how do you know whether it's sweet or not?
?”
Yan Yu twisted the drawer cloth, her little face smiled like a flower, and said proudly: "I licked it! Haha! Mom said it was too late, I couldn't hold it back when I was stirring it up, so I licked it, it's so sweet! But that
The stall owner said that the more the syrup was mixed, the more it became. I kept stirring and stretching it to make it thicker... But before I could eat it, my mother came..."
Yan Yu is not without regrets when talking about her childhood memories.
She spent a lot of effort to stir the syrup, but in the end it didn't enter her mouth...
A lot of hard work!
Yan Laoer was so happy that he leaned forward and backward.
This is his pistachio.
Ever since I was a child, I have always made myself laughable.
"Bring it to high heat first, then turn to low heat and simmer until there is a dense layer of bubbles all over the sugar water, and it's almost ready." Yan Laoer said based on the bamboo slips and his own experience.
Yan Yu is taught.
All actions follow her father's orders.
When the sugar water was put into the pot, Yan Laoer stirred it with a spatula from time to time, and kept raising the sugar water to observe its condition.
Sugar water eventually turns into syrup.
After extinguishing the fire and letting it cool down, Yan Laoer couldn't stop his hands and kept pulling the syrup with a spatula to fully contact with the air and cool down.
The color of the syrup changes from light yellow to gradually darker.
The hardness also increases.
The yellow-brown syrup with some transparency and hardness, which is the syrup in Yan Yu's mouth, officially appeared in front of the father and daughter.
Yan Laoer pointed at it proudly and said: "Look at the girl, the extra-large candy is so thick that you can stretch it all at once!"
"All the tools are ready for you." Yan Laoer picked up a wooden board with a hole from the side and a small round stick stuck on it.
"Professional tools!" Yan Laoer said proudly.
"How do you use it, dad?" Yan Yu was extremely cooperative, with the word "expected" written hugely on his face.
"This hole is for fixation. It is put on the stick, like this." Yan Laoer demonstrated: "Then hang the sugar syrup on this small round stick, and you just stretch it. After stretching it, go back and put it on the top, and stretch it again.
Keep stretching it until the color changes, and the amount of sugar will increase several times. Haha, forget it, you have experience. Anyway, it will be fun for you once. Yes, don’t go up and lick it. No, I’ll pull it off first and block it.
