Only this green, not disappointing the spring

Chapter 215 Slow Cooking Life

The house that Shangguan Qingyue had dreamed of was finally built. When she stepped into the courtyard again, she was satisfied with everything she saw.

Especially the hall with a whole wall of glazed glass, with four characters on the plaque in front of the door - Slow Cooking Life. Shangguan Qingyue asked Xuanyuan Yan to suggest these characters.

According to her request, these four words were written in a leisurely and casual manner, like four little stick figures relaxing and being lazy.

I remember that Xuanyuan Yan revised it at least five times before Shangguan Qingyue was satisfied. The conversation between the two was also hilarious:

"Oh, no, no, no! Sir, the word 'slow' should make people slow down their pace as soon as they see it. It would be best if even illiterate people would think it means 'slow'."

Xuanyuan Yan: ...

This was the first time he had ever heard someone explain a word in such a strange way. You know what, it was really interesting.

“As for the word ‘life’, it is important to write in a way that conveys a sense of leisure and ease.

I hope that everyone who enters the hall can forget their worries and concentrate on enjoying the tranquility and peace of the moment. "

Shangguan Qingyue was talking while fantasizing in her mind, with an intoxicated look on her face. Xuanyuan Yan couldn't help but look forward to it as well.

he asked:

"You just mentioned a lot of fascinating words, why did you name it 'slow-cooked life'?"

It sounds a little less poetic and elegant.

This actually stems from a book Shangguan Qingyue had read in her previous life, the title of which was "Slow Cooking Life". She put her hands behind her back, picked up the folding fan she had received from Fu Qiuyang, and imitated the posture of a scholar strolling in the garden, saying complacently:

"The life I long for is to pick flowers in the morning, make tea in my spare time, take a nap under the warm sun, and walk in the drizzle; to taste delicious food, read good books, listen to the rain hitting the banana leaves, and watch the clouds roll and unfold. In the quiet time, I enjoy all kinds of comfort.

Just as a good soup needs to be slow cooked, so does this good life. "

Xuanyuan Yan's heart trembled when he heard this. The ink in his hand dripped onto the fine rice paper because the brush had been paused for too long, leaving a smudge of ink. Staring at the ink stain, his heart surged and he could not speak for a long time.

Really, it's fascinating...

Let’s get back to the house.

In the hall, Shangguan Qingyue designed a circular sunken sofa opposite the glazed wall. First, a deep pit was dug and bluestone bricks were laid, and then the basic prototype of the sofa was made with the most durable ironwood.

Finally, Li and a group of women in the workshop worked together to crochet the outermost cushion of the sofa.

After being filled with cotton, your whole body will be wrapped in the cushion when you sit on it, and the back of your neck will just rest on the top edge of the sofa, making you not want to get up once you lie down.

As for the hot summer, it is easy to deal with. All you need to do is to tailor a set of cool rush mats for the sofa.

A long table is placed in the middle of the sofa, and a stove is built in the middle. The best thing is that the smoke from the stove will go along the ground, around the sofa and then float outside, making the whole sofa warm.

When Baili Nanqing heard Shangguan Qingyue and the craftsman's explanation, she couldn't help but sigh:

"My Yue'er is so good at enjoying life. I don't know who she inherited this personality from!"

Shangguan Qingyue muttered in his heart:

As long as you suffer enough, you will naturally learn these things. In her previous life, she had imagined countless times how to enjoy the good days after lying down. Since she had such a good opportunity in this life, she would cherish it doubly.

In addition, a room was built specifically for the five chickens, a donkey, a wolf and two cats in the house, and it was named Paradise.

Not only is there a comfortable nest inside, but there are also climbing frames on the wall for five chickens and two cats to play in. There is even a pool for drinking and bathing, using spring water that flows continuously from the mountain.

It is a wonder that this strange group can live together peacefully.

Especially the two cats, one white and one black, they directly regarded General Black as their real father. They would sleep on its back and follow it wherever it went.

The most interesting thing is that the two little guys' calls are not "meow, meow", but wolf howls and fierce roars. Although they are a little short of breath, they have imitated the arrogant posture perfectly.

In order to celebrate the housewarming, Shangguan Qingyue and Xiao Shitou specially stopped classes for a whole day. The family invited all the acquaintances to come over, even Zhang Jiaojiao, who was busy all day, was no exception.

Zou Shiye also came to visit with his family.

Before coming, he repeatedly told Liu: try to reduce your presence, talk less, and don't cause trouble. Liu finally understood Baili Nanqing's identity, and even if she had a lot of thoughts, she didn't dare to act recklessly.

This was Zou Boyuan’s first time in Xiangxue Village. Having been spoiled since childhood, he had never climbed a mountain before. After walking for a short while, he started to complain that he was tired and didn’t want to move any more.

Liu was so distressed that she quickly asked her servants to carry the child away.

Zou Shiye's face turned blue with anger. He secretly made up his mind that when he returned, he would discipline this useless son!

This time he actually came uninvited.

I heard that the village school in Xiangxue Village has officially started classes. I originally planned to bring my family to the village to relax for a few days and inspect a few things. I happened to hear that Shangguan Qingyue's family was celebrating a housewarming today.

A quarter of an hour later, the group arrived at the gate of the mansion. The first thing that caught their eyes was the four large gold-plated characters "Qingyue Villa". Liu couldn't help but say:

"It seems that the Shangguan family really cares about their adopted daughter and even named her after her. Is she the only one named on the property deed?"

She really talked.

Baili Nanqing said from the beginning that this house was given to her little daughter, and no one was allowed to think about it. Of course, no one thought about it.

Zou Shiye frowned and scolded in a low voice:

"Have you forgotten what I told you? Why do you care who's written on the deed? No one will think you're dumb if you don't speak."

Zou Boyuan turned his back and rolled his eyes. His father only knew how to scold his mother. Humph!

A red rope as thick as a finger hung next to the gate, and a piece of paper with the words "Visitors, please pull the rope" was posted on the wall.

Shangguan Qingyue used her limited knowledge of physics to design a simple doorbell. Their house was large, but there was no need to hire a servant to guard the door, so they came up with this idea.

The visitor only needs to gently pull the rope, and the bell connected to the yard will make a crisp sound. The Black General or the two little guys Wuyun and Chiyu, who have the best hearing, will cleverly go to the backyard to call for help.

Black General was very smart. Shangguan Qingyue only taught it once and it understood what its young master meant. Then it was responsible for teaching the two cats.

When Zhao first learned about this, she laughed so hard that she couldn't stop smiling.

"It's worth it that I cook so much food for them every day. Finally, they can help with some housework. Haha..."

What she didn't know was that many surprises were waiting for her.

For example, since moving to the mountains, Black General no longer needs his family to cook for him. He always goes out hunting with the two cats in the morning, and after eating and drinking, he never forgets to bring back one or two wild pheasants or rabbits for home.

Zou Shiye rang the doorbell and the person who came to open the door was the little stone who was playing happily with Wuyun and Chiyu.

As soon as he opened the door, he heard a strange cry:

"Ah, monster! Vixen!

Dad, please kill him quickly! Someone, please kill him quickly! I want to go home, woo woo..."
