Chapter 386 Peach Juice
Chapter 386 Peach Juice
"Sister, you are only a 15-year-old, can't you be a little more normal? You are so coquettish and artificial, it makes me want to vomit..."
Zhou Mingshu pretended to vomit as he spoke.
Zhou Mingshu had a lot of things to say at this moment, but they were too harsh to hear.
After hearing San Ya say this, Zhou Mingqi suddenly lost his strength.
"I told you this wouldn't work, but my elder sister insisted that I be more ladylike."
Zhou Mingshu raised her hand to support her forehead. Her elder sister asked her to be more ladylike as a kind reminder.
There will be so many people present at that time, and all eyes will be on her. As an older sister, she naturally hopes the best for her younger sister.
But she seems to have some misunderstanding about the word 'lady'?!
Whose lady is like this?!
"Second sister, I think you should stop being a 'lady' and just be yourself."
"Just say less then. As the saying goes, 'the more you talk, the more mistakes you make.' You will be the protagonist then, and everyone will be watching you. If you do something wrong, we will remind you in time."
"Okay, then I'll just memorize the process of hairpinning. What ladylike or not? I was not born to be one!"
Perhaps this incident was too much of a blow to her, and it took Zhou Mingqi a long time to recover.
Zhou Mingshu couldn't help but smile when he saw her return to her old ways.
Zhou Mingqi looks more comfortable like this, and everyone who sees him will say something about how generous he is.
The way she does things in a hurry makes her seem particularly bold and interesting at the same time.
In a blink of an eye, it was Zhou Mingqi's coming-of-age banquet. They had not gone out for the past half month.
I have been staying at home making fruit wine and jam. If I can’t finish them, I will dry them and keep them as snacks.
A few days before the banquet, the three sisters of the Zhou family wrote some invitations and sent them to several adults.
For relatives and neighbors, just say hello when you meet them.
But for some prominent figures, it is more thoughtful to send invitations.
After listening to Zhou Mingshu's suggestion, the people of the Zhou family decided to set up a buffet.
Because a coming-of-age banquet is different from weddings and funerals, there is no need to hold it for so long.
Everyone came here just to have fun and watch the excitement, and when the coming-of-age ceremony was over, everyone left.
It’s not good to make too much of a fuss, and food in the summer goes bad too easily, so it’s not worth it.
After her analysis, everyone agreed to hold this buffet, and the style was also relatively fresh.
Line up the tables and place food and drinks on them.
Everyone brings their own plate and takes what they want from the table. They take as much as they want to eat and pour as much as they want to drink.
Everyone eats more casually, mainly because there are no restrictions.
The day of Zhou Mingqi's coming-of-age ceremony.
The two little girls got up very early.
Zhou Mingshu applied the prepared cement mask to her for a quarter of an hour, cleaned it and locked the moisture in it, and then put makeup on Zhou Mingqi.
It’s actually very simple to put on makeup for her.
My second sister has always had very good skin, not only is it glowing white, but she also has no spots.
Zhou Mingshu only helped her to shape her eyebrows into a nice shape, then drew some eyeliner for her, and finally put on some blush. She didn't even need to put on lipstick.
They go to bed early and get up early, eat three meals a day, and work and exercise every day.
Good health, good complexion, and thick hair.
The color of the lips itself is better than any lipstick shade.
"Second sister, you look really pretty. Just tie your hair up simply, and then Grandma Wang will personally pin your hair for you."
Zhou Mingqi looked at himself in the mirror and smiled.
"Saya, why didn't I realize you were good at makeup before? I didn't see you putting anything on, but I think you look much better now."
Zhou Mingshu stood aside and smiled. She had excellent makeup skills, but there was really no place to use them.
Just slightly change the eyebrows or something, move the basic parts and it'll be fine.
If it is overhauled it will no longer be up to date with modern standards.
"That's right. I moved your eyebrows. Eyebrows are right above our eyes. A slight change can still make a big difference visually."
"Hehe, you know what, she looks much gentler now. I like her willow-leaf eyebrows."
While the two girls were chatting and laughing, Wang Xiaodan, Wang Youwei and other young sisters came over.
Seeing that Zhou Mingqi was dressed so beautifully today, everyone started praising him.
Zhou Mingqi was so happy that the smile on his face never stopped.
Seeing that his second sister was accompanied by someone, Zhou Mingshu came out to see.
Many snacks and cold dishes had been placed on the table, and clean plates and cups were stacked aside and covered with cotton cloth to prevent dust from falling in.
The hot dishes will be ready in another hour, so there’s no rush.
The people in the kitchen are making some fried snacks, chatting and laughing. It's so lively~
Zhou Mingshu came over, found a gap and squatted down, peeling quail eggs with them.
Because the little quails she raised laid eggs every day.
The eggs that were not eaten on weekdays were made into small transformed eggs together with duck eggs. These were specially reserved for Zhou Mingqi's coming-of-age banquet.
Soak the cooked quail eggs in cold water and crush the outer skin so that they can be easily peeled.
After peeling, use a tool to flatten and break them, then mix them with the prepared garlic sauce, and the flavor will come out.
This is a very delicious dish that most people may have never eaten.
Qi Rui lived close to Lianglin Village and arrived early on horseback.
All the guests who came had been welcomed by Zhou Lao Da and Zhou Lao Er.
But Qi Rui was not very familiar with the villagers of Lianglin Village. Except for being able to say a few words to the village chief Wang Fugui, everyone else wanted to stay away from him.
So what can he do if he doesn't look for Zhou Mingshu?
Seeing someone coming, Zhou Mingshu put down the work in his hands and went out to greet him.
"Sir, you guys are here so early. I'll go get you two glasses of juice."
Today is the coming-of-age ceremony, and the Zhou family didn't prepare any wine. They only prepared two soups and some tea, and the rest was some fruit juice.
The red one is watermelon juice, the green one is kiwi juice, and the other one is jelly.
But it is not appropriate to serve a bowl of jelly to the two adults at this moment.
So Zhou Mingshu brought two glasses of kiwi juice.
"Try this kiwi juice. This fruit is just ripe."
Qi Rui and Rufeng looked at the green substance in the cup and took a sip with curiosity.
The taste is slightly sour and sweet, and the texture is slightly sandy.
"This peach juice tastes good. I think it's even better than that cherry tomato."
Qi Rui narrowed his eyes and praised with a smile.
"Sir, don't leave immediately after the coming-of-age ceremony. Let's go to the orchard and pick some for you to take with you."
This was already Zhou Mingshu's usual practice, nothing surprising, Qi Rui smiled and nodded.
Changing the subject, Zhou Mingshu asked quietly, "Sir, what gift did you prepare for my second sister? Why didn't I see it?"
