"Haha," Qiao Linxi smirked a few times, "Who dares to marry someone like me? Whoever marries me means that he has to take care of my eighteen younger brothers and sisters. Men are not stupid. Now, let's talk about it. She’s not a peerless beauty or a talented woman, she doesn’t have the capital to make a man willingly marry a woman with eighteen younger brothers and sisters.”
After saying that, Qiao Linxi took Qiao Linle back to the kitchen and started making noodle soup. The noodles were brought over by the man just now, and she had finished the ones she bought last night.
Originally, I wanted to use the remaining soup to eat with the steamed buns in the system, but the old lady was here. She didn't want to reveal her secret, so she had to make noodles.
After making the noodles, Qiao Linxi asked Qiao Linqin to wash the meat, while she broke the noodles into small pieces and threw them into the pot.
In her previous life, Qiao Linxi could be said to be a master who kept her fingers crossed. But here, not only did she have to worry about what to eat every day, but she also had to cook for more than ten or twenty people. Qiao Linxi felt miserable.
Qiao Linxi watched Qiao Linqin wash the meat while grabbing the dough. The water in the vat was still filling up automatically. The landlady saw Qiao Linxi staring at the water tank, but she didn't explain.
After pulling out the noodles, Qiao Linxi started cutting the meat again. The children in the kitchen kept chattering, which made Qiao Linxi feel an inexplicable sense of warmth.
"I'm going to have a big bowl of it in the morning."
"I want my bowl to be as big as yours."
"Then I want to eat such a big bowl."
"I really want to eat such a big bowl, but my brother said I have to grow up before I can eat it."
"We girls can't eat so much, otherwise we will become fat."
"Nonsense, Sister Lin Xi said that our old Qiao family's genes are very good, so every girl will be very good-looking. Look at Sister Lin Xi, she is very good-looking."
"That's because she hasn't gotten married yet. Look at the green flowers in our village. They were very beautiful before they got married. But after they got married and had children, they turned into fat women."
Qiao Linxi: Will she become a fat woman in the future?
"Nonsense, my sister will never get married or become a fat woman." Qiao Linqi ran over and hugged Qiao Linxi's leg.
"That's right, my sister is like a fairy. No one is worthy of her." Qiao Linshu hugged Qiao Linxi's other leg not to be outdone.
Qiao Linji said: "I think Mr. Zhao and Sister Xiao are very good-looking. Sister Lin Xi will definitely like them."
"Nonsense, my sister doesn't look down on them. The person who is worthy of my sister must be like a fairy, very gentle, doting on her, and will not let her be wronged."
"Go, go," Qiao Linxi kicked her feet: "You two brats, just stay here."
How old are these children? Just worry about her marriage.
The old lady who had been standing nearby listening to the children became happy when she heard this: "You are all looking forward to your sister getting married?"
"Girls need to get married when they grow up."
"Girl, do you have someone you like? If not, how about I introduce someone to you?"
Qiao Linxi said: She is only fourteen years old, so she doesn't want to get married so early.
"Don't bother grandma. My brothers and sisters are still young, and I won't get married."
The gnocchi in the pot were already cooked, and Qiao Linxi's meat was cut. After taking out all the gnocchi, Qiao Linxi put the meat in.
The fire in the stove was very strong, and the pork belly made a sizzling sound as soon as it was cooked, and a unique meaty aroma immediately wafted out.
"It smells so good. The meat looks delicious."
"Of course it's delicious. You don't even know who made it. My sister is a fairy. The food she cooks must be delicious."
Qiao Linxi glanced at Qiao Linqi: "Flattery."
Considering that the old landlady had bad teeth, Qiao Qiao Linxi cut off the pig skin and fried it separately. The meat for the old lady was not fried too dry so that it would be softer.
"It's such a pleasure to watch you cook, girl. My yard has never been so lively."
The meat was ready, and a group of children sat neatly at the dining table, waiting for Qiao Linxi to take a seat before eating.
Needless to say, Qiao Linxi said that all the children took the initiative to perform a gratitude ceremony. Although they didn't know what it was for, they knew that Qiao Linxi liked what they did, so they did it.
After seeing it, the old lady couldn't help but sigh, "You kids are so honest. A person who knows how to be grateful will be lucky in his life."
"Wow, sister, this meat is so fragrant. It's golden on the outside and very tender on the inside. When you take a bite, your mouth will be filled with oil. It's so delicious."
"delicious."
The noodles are chewy and smooth, and the pork belly is crispy. The two different textures collide together and merge into two words: delicious.
For a cook, the greatest happiness is not how delicious the food is, but that all the food he cooked is eaten. Plus, you don’t have to wash the dishes.
Washing dishes has never been something Qiao Linxi has considered. There are so many children who can wash their own dishes well without even taking a minute. So Qiao Linxi went out after eating. She planned to walk around the streets to see if there were any business opportunities and find a suitable stall.
After Qiao Linxi went out, Qiao Linshan also went out with a few girls. They had money and wanted to buy something for girls.
Only after she left the house did Qiao Linxi realize that her idea was too naive. In this environment, it was difficult for locals in Lanqing City to do business, let alone outsiders like her.
When doing business, one should pay attention to character, the other should pay attention to goods, and the most important thing is connections. Don't say that the smell of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley. Any business needs promotion, and connections are the top priority.
For someone like Qiao Linxi who just arrived yesterday, even if she finds a suitable store, it will still be expensive to open one.
However, Qiao Linxi discovered that people in Lan Qingcheng seemed to like listening to music, and the door of the teahouse was crowded with people having nothing to do. But you need to pay for tea to enter the teahouse, and those who have no money can only listen outside.
With so many children, can they schedule some shows in exchange for some money?
"Daughter-in-law, fairy wife..."
Yesterday, the crazy old man suddenly appeared in front of Qiao Linxi and shocked her.
"Play music..." The old man held a piece of red cloth in his hand, raised it and shook it, humming in his mouth.
"Daughter-in-law, I'm here to marry you..."
The old man approached Qiao Linxi and looked at Qiao Linxi with his black teeth exposed: "Let's go back home."
"Ye Jinglai..."
This familiar voice sent a chill down Qiao Linxi's spine. Before she could think about it, a white figure fell from the sky. Yes, it floated down from above and shocked Qiao Linxi.
"I've been looking for you for so many years, and you're hiding here pretending to be crazy..."
Seeing that something was not going well, Qiao Linxi ran away, but there was a sound from behind that made her calves feel weak.
