Chapter two hundred and eighty eight comfort

Gu Xiang ordered to clean the garden in one breath, pull out the weeds that had grown for many years, clean up the silt, repair the doors and windows, bricks and tiles of the room, and clean the room.

Although they were young and could not do most of the physical work. Old dogs and their personal soldiers were done by the servants. In addition, Qiu Li paid for the Yashang to hire servants and servants to help, but they did not let them have a free time. After arranging the room, they began to wash the house, paste window paper and screens, and lay the bed and fold the quilt.

Qiu Li, Zhao Susu and Xiao Lingyun took these children to do it themselves.

More and more lives are done. These little ladies are all weak. Among the eight people, seven of them are even bound with their feet. Alas!

"commit a sin!"

Zhao Susu felt a little sad when she saw their appearance.

In the early years, it was popular in Beijing for a while, but for a short time, people began to bind their girls at home again.

She was lucky. Her father and mother were a little rebellious back then, and were thought to be beautiful in small feet, but her parents said that their bodies and hair should not be damaged by their parents. They were forced to withstand the pressure of the family and allowed her to raise a pair of big feet.

Thanks to these big feet, she suffered from those who suffered in the early years. At that time, the clan girl was a well-known beauty. Only beauty can be kept in a golden cage, but it is difficult to live in a wilderness.

Fortunately, the so-called foot binding nowadays is just a pursuit of straightness.

When Gu Xiang first came to this place, he deliberately investigated and observed the situation of a woman's foot binding. There was absolutely no one in the village who had bound his feet, and only a woman like Jiang who had read books could know about this.

It is said that Jiang also planned to wrap the original owner up, but the original owner cried so much that it was really distressing, so it was just fine to think about it.

Most of the women with small feet are from officials and noble families. When their daughters were young, they would wrap their feet with cloth and wear small shoes with their feet tied. However, they were not like in later generations, and they would even have to the point of fracture of their toes. After putting their feet in place, they would take care of them for a while. Many people could recover, and most of them would not suffer from disability, which would affect their walking.

At this moment, a group of girls all let go tremblingly and asked Qiuli to take the doctor to treat him. She changed into loose cloth shoes and was spoiled by Qiuli and the others. After a while, everyone was tired and sweating profusely, but they lost those heavy and desperate emotions.

After nearly two hours of hard work, the house finally came to a new look.

Gu Xiang walked straight to the large kitchen in the backyard and took a look. He was very satisfied with the row of large kitchens with twenty large stoves.

When she bought the house, she had already turned around. The old dog thought it was on the northwest corner of Maizao Lane. But in Gu Xiang's opinion, after walking south through two streets and alleys, there was the Taixue and the Imperial College, which was a serious and prosperous area. It was just because the houses outside were built a little messy, with many corners and a little secluded.

In fact, the old dog and the others looked down on it a little because of some unlucky rumors in this house.

I heard that this was a private house purchased by a large eunuch in the previous dynasty. Later, the eunuch committed the matter and the house was sold out.

After that, every master had to make trouble. He either lost money in business or was demoted by officials. Because of these rumors, no one dared to buy them, and gradually became abandoned.

But Gu Xiang likes this location, which looks very inconspicuous, and even the width inside cannot be seen from the outside, but when it is built, they are all made of good materials. What's more important is that there are two good wells. She has seen the well water, and the water quality is quite good.

As for the unlucky matter, she didn't believe in the saying of good or bad luck. Only in this place, there weren't dozens of officials who were demoted in this year? If this is also called unlucky, she would not live in 80% of the good houses in the capital.

Xueying first cleaned up the kitchen. Not only did it clean, but more than a dozen water tanks were filled with water. The stone surface on the stove was reflected, and the bluestone slabs on the ground were dyed with green moss, but now they were washed clean. At some point, a few clusters of weeds emerged from the corner of the wall. It was still green in the cold weather, so Xueying didn't move it.

The kitchen was so well maintained, Gu Xiang was excited, showing off his knife skills, cut beef, lamb, and pork, all as thin as cicadas' wings. The sunlight shone in for the next half a while, and it looked like a table of crystal flowers.

The pork is especially fat and half thin, and the sheep's brains are cleaned and arranged neatly, without wasting any waste.

The big shrimps were eaten, and the remaining fresh shrimps were small, so Gu Xiang simply peeled the shells and made them into shrimp balls.

The milky white soup base was prepared on the car. After a long time of boiling, it was rich and mellow. Gu Xiang stretched out the noodles again, prepared fresh mushrooms, prepared a few small cold dishes such as sour bamboo shoots and sugar garlic, and took out the remaining sesame cakes a few days ago and baked them again. The baking was burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, not like the old one at all, but had a unique flavor.

Gu Xiang prepared sesame paste and finally grabbed a handful of ground beef granules in it. Qiu Li smiled and said, "Hurry it and send it to all the little girls, all of them are tired and paralyzed. However, they can grit their teeth and hold on, and no one has ever complained about being tired. It's not easy."

"Don't be anxious."

Gu Xiang chuckled, "Sister Su Su, send them the medicine bag we prepared and let them take a good medicine bath to lively, otherwise they will be extremely moved tomorrow."

Zhao Susu responded and took the medicine bag over.

At this time, Le'er was leading her sisters to wash in the bathroom in the northwest corner. It was cold and the bathroom was closed tightly and there was no fire inside, only a fire wall was burning outside.

Several healthy women helped bring buckets of slightly hot water, with medicine bags inside. Le'er and others panted with difficulty, only to feel soreness in their bodies, but they sweated and rubbed off two layers of mud, and their spirits suddenly became different.

After leaving the bathtub, I was most afraid of being exposed to the wind. I changed into clothes and wrapped myself in a thick cloak and walked directly through the corridor and into the warm room.

A layer of blanket was comfortably laid in the warm chalet, with thick cushions on the chairs, and a large round table with a blast stove, with a pot of good soup on top, which was hot and hot, and several plates of freshly cut meat were crystal clear and shining with bright light.

The soup pot was filled with radishes, fresh mushrooms, and sour bamboo shoots. The aroma was steaming up, and the room was filled with it.

If it were the past, Le'er would have despised the smell and refused to get close to her, but now she keeps swallowing her saliva.

The girls here were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs. They could not bear it when they saw this. After a chopsticks of meat, they put them in the sauce plate after only a moment of rinsing. After eating more than ten mouthfuls, Le'er let out a small breath and wiped the sweat from her forehead, feeling a little embarrassed.

Looking up, the girls all looked the same. They couldn't help but look at each other and laughed out loud. Le'er laughed for a while, looked down at the meat in the sauce dish. The thin slices of meat were fragrant and tender, and the sour bamboo shoots and sugar garlic were crisp, delicious and greasy in their mouths. Drink a bowl of soup, and finally mixed with the sauce to get a handful of elastic noodles.

"call!"

“Comfortable!”

A few little girls made their skin pink and tender. After eating and drinking, they squinted their eyes and leaned on the chair. They looked at each other for a while, and they all laughed.

After laughing for a while, he started crying again.

Qiu Li was about to deliver some food to them at the door, but when she heard the movement, she didn't go in.
