The Qiao Qiao Festival was the Double Seventh Festival, the day when the Cowherd and the Weaving Maid met on the Magpie Bridge.
Although the wheel of history in this world had long gone astray, some of the important customs were similar to the ancient China in Li Yi's memory. There had been no changes.
There was a room in the stockade that was specially used to store books. Of course, it was a bit inaccurate to say that it was a book collection. Those books were robbed from the Willow Leaf Stockade when it was still a real stockade of bandits.
Countless books were piled up in the room. Whenever Li Yi had nothing to do, he would take a book. In order to figure out what kind of world this was, Li Yi had been wandering around in the past few days.
Begging for Skill, as the name suggested, today was the day when many young girls and women begged the weavers for skill.
Legend has it that the Weaver Maid was a beautiful, intelligent, and dexterous fairy. Her pair of skillful hands could weave clouds and weave the most beautiful brocade in the world. As an excellent weaver, she was the role model and idol of women in the era of men farming and women weaving.
On the seventh day of the seventh month, women in the mortal world would beg the Weaver Maiden for wisdom and skill. Of course, some young girls in love and young married women with unhappy marriages would also beg the Weaver Maiden to grant them a good marriage.
Li Yi had always felt that it was nonsense to ask the Zhinu to bless him with a good marriage. The Zhinu and the Cowherd could only meet once a year. His own marriage was on the brink of collapse. Where would he find the time to bless so many lonely women …
Since the participants were all women, the Qiao Qiao Festival was also known as the 'Women's Day' or the 'Young Women's Day'. In short, this day was basically a carnival for women. They could go shopping without restraint, have fun with a few of their girlfriends, or hide under the grape trellis on the night of Chinese Valentine's Day and shamelessly listen to the love words of the weaver girl and the cowherd …
In short, if you see your wife, your sister-in-law and your maids behaving differently than usual in these few days before the Double Seventh Festival, don't be confused or panic. This is all normal.
After these messages emerged in his mind, Li Yi was not surprised by their behavior.
Things like threading needles for skill, spiders for skill, throwing needles for skill, fighting at night, etc. Li Yi had never heard of these activities and customs. He could only sigh that the women in the stockade village really knew how to play …
But this was also good. It was better than the Chinese Valentine's Day in the future. The fixed custom might be that every Chinese Valentine's Day, there would always be a lot of people in the streets, such as Home, Hanting, or Seven Days Hotel. Perhaps they would even forget the origin of the Chinese Valentine's Day or who the Weaver Maid was.
To some extent, Li Yi preferred this backward and Seven.
Since the Begging for Qiao Festival was approaching, she could find an excuse to give the naughty children a holiday. However, the naughty children who used to love holidays often counted on their fingers. There were only a few days left before they could go to school again. The monkey's story had just reached a wonderful part.
Seeing Xiao Huan carrying two clay pots into the kitchen, Li Yi followed her in and asked in confusion, "What are these?"
"This is sesame oil, and this is icing sugar." Huan Huan put down the two pots and pointed at them respectively.
"Sesame oil? Icing sugar? "Li Yi Li Yi was stunned. He moved closer to the two pots and looked at them. His face suddenly lit up.
"This is … sesame oil? This, is it white sugar? "
Huan Huan nodded and said, "Young Master, you're so smart. Sesame oil is made from sesame. The Double Seventh Festival is in two days. We need to make some Qiao Fruit in advance."
Li Yi did not know what Qiao Fruit was, and he did not want to know. He did not hear what Huan Huan said. At this moment, Li Yi only had eyes for the two pots.
To be precise, he was looking at the things in the pots.
Oh my god, he finally saw white sugar and vegetable oil after being here for so long!
In Li Yi's mind, the fresh and delicious fried chicken steak and the sweet and sour pork tenderloin appeared …
Huan Huan saw her young master's eyes staring at the pots of sesame oil and icing sugar. She seemed to have thought of something and her face suddenly changed. She stepped in front of Li Yi and looked at him pitifully and said, "Young Master, sesame oil and icing sugar are used to make Qiao Fruit. There's only so much in the stockade. We can't waste it …"
"What do you mean waste? We're doing serious business. If there's no tenderloin, let's fry a chicken steak first …" Li Yi rubbed the little servant girl's head and reached out to the pot of sesame oil.
"No!"
The little servant girl immediately panicked. She hugged Li Yi's hand and did not let him take another step forward.
The sesame oil and icing sugar were bought by all the girls in the stockade in order to make Qiao Fruit. The sesame oil was very expensive. If it wasn't for the Qiao Fruit Festival, it would be impossible to see it on a normal day.
Li Yi did not expect the little servant girl, who was usually obedient and obedient to him, to be so unyielding on this matter. The atmosphere suddenly became awkward …
Although the little servant girl was young, her body was almost fully developed. She was curvy in all the right places. Li Yi's arm was hugged by her and kept shaking and rubbing against it. It was inevitable that he would touch two soft mounds.
This was the first time Li Yi felt such a temptation in his life. He immediately felt his blood rush to his head and his brain was a little short of blood. He hurriedly said, "Okay, if Xiao Huan says no, then no. Let go of me first …"
"Really?" Xiao Huan blinked her big innocent eyes and asked in disbelief.
"Really!" Li Yi nodded his head with great sincerity.
She was still a young girl. Seeing Li Yi's solemn promise, Xiao Huan let go of his arm. But when she put it down, she seemed to think of something. Her pretty face turned red. She rubbed the corner of her clothes uneasily and lowered her head, not daring to look at Li Yi.
"Now you know to be shy?" Li Yi glanced at the little servant girl's shy look and could not help but find it funny. He rolled his eyes and suddenly said, "Xiao Huan, why don't we have a discussion?"
"Discuss … discuss what?"
The little servant girl lowered her head and continued to rub the corner of her clothes. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito.
It had to be said that Li Yi was very talented in deceiving naughty children and seducing ignorant girls.
Not long after, under Li Yi's half seduction and half coercion, Xiao Huan had no choice but to reach an agreement with him.
Li Yi could help her make the "Qiao Guo". While ensuring the quantity of the Qiao Guo, the remaining sesame oil and icing sugar could be kept and not returned …
Anyway, they did not know exactly how much they used. In previous years, there was not a single bit left.
Xiao Huan did not have any doubts about Li Yi's culinary skills. She simply told him how to make the Qiao Guo and went out to do other things.
Seeing the little servant girl's delicate figure walk out, Li Yi's lips curled into a smile.
She wanted to return what was in his hands?
