The Qiqiao Festival is the Qixi Festival, the day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet on the Magpie Bridge.
Although the wheel of history in this world has long gone astray, some important customs are similar to the ancient China in Li Yi's memory, and have not changed at all.
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 used for collecting books. They were all stolen from Liuye Village when it was still a real bandit village.
There are countless books scattered around the room. Li Yi will take one when he has nothing to do. In order to find out what kind of fucking world this is, Li Yi goes there frequently these days.
Wander around.
Begging for Skills, as the name suggests, this day is the day when girls and women beg for skills from the Weaver Girl.
Legend has it that the Weaver Girl is a beautiful, intelligent, and ingenious fairy. With a pair of skillful hands, she can weave clouds and weave the most beautiful brocade in the world. As an excellent weaver, she is the role model and object of worship for women in the era when men farmed and women weaved.
On July 7th, mortal women beg the Weaver Girl for wisdom and skills. Of course, some pregnant girls and young women whose marriage life is not very happy will also beg her to give them a good marriage.
Li Yi always felt that it was nonsense to ask Zhinu to bless him to find a good marriage. Zhinu and Cowherd could only meet once a year, and his marriage was on the verge of being broken. How could he have the free time to bless so many lonely people?
woman……
Because all the people who participate in begging are women, the Begging Festival is also called "Daughter's Day" or "Girl's Day". In short, this day is almost a carnival for women. They can go shopping and buy things unscrupulously, and invite a few girlfriends to have fun.
Or on the night of Chinese Valentine's Day, you can hide under the grape trellis and listen to the love talks between the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd without shame...
In short, if you see your daughter-in-law, sister-in-law, or maid acting differently from usual during the days when Chinese Valentine's Day is approaching, don't be confused or panic, this is normal.
After this information emerged in his mind, Li Yi was no longer surprised by their behavior.
Li Yi had never even heard of these activities and customs, such as threading a needle to beg for skill, a happy spider responding to a skill, throwing a needle to test one's skill, or a orchid night fight. He could only sigh that the women in the village are really good at playing...
But this is good, it is better than the Chinese Valentine's Day in later generations. The fixed custom may be that every Chinese Valentine's Day, there will always be many people under the banner of Chinese Valentine's Day, having fun and happy in the streets like Home, Hanting or Seven Days Hotel, with guns blazing.
, I’m afraid I have completely forgotten the origin of Chinese Valentine’s Day or who the Weaver Girl is.
To a certain extent, Li Yi prefers this backward and conservative era.
Now that the Qiao Qiao Festival is coming soon, we can find another reason to give the naughty children a holiday. However, the naughty children who used to love the holidays most often count on their fingers how many days there are before they can go to school again -----
-The monkey's story has just reached its exciting point.
Seeing Xiao Huan carrying two clay pots into the kitchen, Li Yi followed in and asked with some confusion: "What is this?"
"This is sesame oil, this is icing sugar." Xiaohuan put down the two clay pots and pointed at them respectively.
"Sesame oil? Sugar frosting?" Li Yi was stunned when he heard this. He walked over to the two clay pots and looked at them, and suddenly his face lit up.
"Is this... sesame oil? Is this sugar?"
Xiaohuan nodded beside him and said: "My uncle is so smart. Sesame oil is made from sesame seeds. In two days it will be the Qiao Qiao Festival. We need to make some Qiao Guo in advance."
Li Yi didn't know what Qiaoguo was, and he didn't want to know. He didn't hear clearly 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.
Oh my gosh, I’ve been here for so long and finally saw sugar and vegetable oil!
In Li Yi's mind, the tender and delicious fried chicken steak and the sweet and sour pork tenderloin will make his mouth water just thinking about it...
Xiaohuan saw her uncle staring at the clay pot with sesame oil and icing sugar in his eyes. He seemed to have thought of something. His face suddenly changed, and he took a step forward to block Li Yi, looking at him pitifully.
He said nervously: "Uncle, sesame oil and icing sugar are used to make Qiaoguo. This is all we have in the village. We can't waste it..."
"What is waste? We are doing business. We don't have tenderloin. Let's fry the chicken steak first..." Li Yi rubbed the little maid's head and stretched one hand towards the jar filled with sesame oil.
"no!"
The little maid suddenly became anxious and hugged Li Yi's hand to prevent him from taking another step forward.
This bit of sesame oil and icing sugar were bought by all the girls in the village in order to prepare Qiao Qiao. The sesame oil was so expensive that it would have been impossible to see it on weekdays if it weren't for the Qiao Qiao Festival.
Li Yi also didn't expect that the little maid who was usually cute and obedient to him would be so tough on this matter, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward...
Although the little maid is not very old, her figure has almost grown. She is bulging where it should be and curling where it should be. Li Yi's arms were held in her arms and kept shaking and rubbing, inevitably touching her.
Both balls are soft.
This is the first time that Li Yicheng has felt such a fragrant temptation. He suddenly felt his blood surge and his brain was a little short of blood supply. He hurriedly said: "Okay, if Xiaohuan says no, it won't work. Let me go first..."
"Really?" Xiaohuan blinked her innocent big eyes and asked in disbelief.
"Really!" Li Yi nodded sincerely.
After all, it was a girl's nature. Seeing Li Yi's solemn promise, Xiaohuan let go of his arm. But when she put it down, she seemed to have thought of something. Her pretty face suddenly turned red, and her little hands rubbed her own uneasily.
At the corner of his clothes, he lowered his head and did not dare to look at Li Yi.
"You know you are shy now?" Li Yi glanced at the shy look of the little maid, and couldn't help but feel a little funny. He rolled his eyes and suddenly said: "Xiao Huan, how about we discuss it?"
"Shang...what are we discussing?"
The little maid continued to rub her clothes with her head down, her voice as low as a mosquito.
It has to be said that Li Yi is very talented when it comes to deceiving naughty children and inducing ignorant girls.
It didn't take long for Xiaohuan to reach an agreement with Li Yi through half-seduce and half-force.
Li Yi can help her make that "Qiaoguo". While ensuring the quantity of Qiaoguo, the remaining sesame oil and icing sugar can be kept without having to return it...
Anyway, they don't know how much they used, as there was nothing left over from previous years.
Xiaohuan had no doubts about Li Yi's cooking skills. She simply told him how to make Qiaoguo and then went out to do other things.
Seeing the pretty figure of the little maid walking out, Li Yi had a smile on his lips.
Do you still want to return the things that came into his hands?
