Today is a special day. Cao Xi got up early to prepare breakfast. Just as he was about to wake Qin Zhao up, he saw the door was opened and Qin Zhao came out wearing old clothes.
"Why aren't you wearing new clothes?" Cao Xi was a little confused.
Qin Zhao: "I'll put it on when I leave. It's easy to get dirty when wearing it now when working."
Cao Xi: "Okay, then help me carry the firewood in first, and I will bring you hot water to wash up."
Qin Zhao ran three times to get enough firewood for breakfast. His tired face turned red, and he went to wash up after seeing the washbasin beside the well.
Cao Xi made a simple breakfast. He mixed some pickles and cooked some porridge. Each person held a big steamed bun in his hand, and that was it. Before leaving, Cao Xi packed the set of tableware in the cloth bag he made last night and put it in Qin Zhao's schoolbag.
Qin Zhao's lips didn't drop today, and his pace was much faster than usual. They soon arrived at Qingsong Academy.
Before entering, Cao Xi dragged Qin Zhao to the back and told him, "If someone bullies you, tell me, Master. If Master dare not come back and tell me, I will vent your anger for you."
Thinking about it, it didn't seem right. Cao Xi told him again: "If someone hits you, hit you if you can beat him. If you can't beat him, then run away. Don't just get beaten stupidly, you know."
"Also, don't let anyone take off your clothes, especially your pants, not even my wife."
"Don't let anyone kiss you, and..." After listening to these instructions, the more he talked, the more he went off track, as if he was not entering an academy, but a dragon's pond and a tiger's den.
Qin Zhao hurriedly interrupted: "I know, I'm going to school, not a bandit den." The above-mentioned incident was the only thing she could do.
Cao Xi also realized that he had gone too far, "Then you go in."
As soon as Qin Zhao stepped into the school gate with his left foot, he heard Cao Xi's high-pitched voice, "Go to the cafeteria early for lunch. If you go late, you will be hungry."
Qin Zhao stumbled and almost fell. Just as he was about to wave his hand to indicate that he understood, a mocking voice came from the side, "You know how to eat a country bumpkin."
Qin Zhao raised his head and saw a boy wearing a college uniform with a delicate face. He was about the same age as himself. He was only accompanied by a boy. Before he could withdraw the ridicule in his eyes, Qin Zhao caught him.
Qin Zhao clicked his tongue twice, "What a poor thing, you don't have any relatives to send you to." After saying that, he stopped looking at him and walked into the academy.
Unexpectedly, this country bumpkin would attack his lungs and trachea. He was so angry that he took the book box from the boy's hand and chased after him quickly.
The boy didn't hear what Qin Zhao said clearly. He just felt that his young master and the fried lion were confused and had to turn back home.
When Qi Qige entered the academy, he realized that the country bumpkin had long disappeared. He searched everywhere in the academy and found no one, so he could only endure it and go back to class.
The book box was thrown onto the table by him with a thud, making other students look at him in fright.
"What are you looking at?" Just when he was getting angry, the master led a boy in. He was not wearing the college uniform and looked out of place.
After seeing the boy's face clearly, Qi Qige stood up, pointed at Qin Zhao, and shouted, "I've found you, country bumpkin."
Seeing his performance, everyone was worried about the new classmate.
Just as the Master was about to introduce Qin Zhao, his words were shaken back by Qi Qige's roar!
His arrogant attitude made the angry wife tremble all over: "Qiqige, what are you doing? Sit down."
Qi Qiqi didn't dare to confront her husband. She sat back down stiffly, holding back her anger. Her eyes were fixed on Qin Zhao, with no intention of moving away.
"His name is Qin Zhao. From now on, I will study with you. We must help each other and no fighting is allowed." When the Master said this, his eyes specifically looked at Qi Qige.
"You go and sit in the third row." The master pointed in the direction to Qin Zhao.
Qi Qige's eyes followed Qin Zhao's movements, but Qin Zhao ignored him and sat down in his seat, and the lecture officially began.
After Cao Xi sent Qin Zhao to Qin Zhao, she started to prepare the ingredients for Oden. She first walked around the vegetable market and bought some vegetables and fish. Then she went to the seasoning shop to buy some seasonings. Because it was during the food trial period, she didn't buy much. .
When I got home, I found the waste materials for making bamboo dragonflies and made a simple process. Each stick was small and delicate. While she was handling the fish, there was a knock on the door outside.
Li Feng: "Cao Xi, I'm here, please open the door."
"Here we come." Cao Xi heard the sound and stood up to open the door. Li Feng got a cart with some charcoal on it.
Cao Xi opened all the doors and let Li Feng in.
"Okay, you can get these things in such a short time."
Li Feng smiled like a spring breeze: "I got it from the scrap market. Do you need my help with what you are doing?"
Cao Xi: "I want to make some fish balls, but you are strong enough to help me beat the fish meat."
After Li Feng washed his hands, he took over the work from Cao Xi and beat the fish according to his method. Cao Xi poured water into the pot, lit a fire and filled the firewood. While the water was not boiling, she washed the vegetables and threaded them on skewers.
Li Feng: "Why didn't you see Qin Zhao?"
What a clingy little kid, it's not like him to see him not showing up for such a long time.
Cao Xi: "He went to the academy today"
Li Feng: "Did you send him to the academy?"
He was a little surprised. He didn't expect Cao Xi to really send Qin Zhao to school. Going to school was a luxury for them. What's more, Qin Zhao is not Cao Xi's younger brother at all, so is it necessary to pay so much?
Cao Xi: "He is very smart and learns things quickly. It would be a pity not to go to school."
Li Feng's action of beating the fish paused for a moment, then continued, which was really enviable.
While talking, the water had already boiled. Cao Xi squeezed the pureed fish into balls and cooked them in the water, and the white and rolling fish balls were formed.
Cao Xi casually poked a fish ball with chopsticks and handed it to Li Feng: "Try it, do you think it's delicious?"
Li Feng was stunned by the fish balls that suddenly appeared in front of him, and he didn't react for a while.
Cao Xi urged, "Whatever you want, try it quickly."
Li Feng's movement to catch the fish balls was a little stiff, and he unconsciously put them into his mouth and chewed them. It wasn't until Cao Xi asked if it was delicious that he came back to his senses.
"It's delicious." Li Feng looked up at Cao Xi. For some reason, he always felt that the fish balls tasted a little different.
Cao Xi: "It will take a while to make the base, but it will be a little choking."
"It's okay." Li Feng looked up. Her eyes reflected his, and he suddenly felt that it would be great for the two of them to stay like this.
Saute the base ingredients until fragrant, add red pepper and stir-fry continuously. The spiciness becomes stronger and stronger. Cao Xi's eyes were choked with tears. Then he added water, covered the pot and cooked it in one go.
The spiciness was so strong that the two of them fled the kitchen together. When Cao Xi took the time to look at Li Feng, he was sitting under the jujube tree with snot and tears, and he had no image at all.
"Hahaha" Cao Xi couldn't hold it back and laughed at Li Feng. Li Feng was a little embarrassed by her laughter, but seeing that Cao Xi was as jealous as a rabbit, he also started laughing.
At the end of the laugh, the two people looked at each other and looked away. Cao Xi stood up in a hurry and said, "I'll go to the kitchen to check the fire."
Seeing Cao Xi blushing and running away in a hurry, Li Feng felt a hint of sweetness in his heart and his smile became even brighter.
Cao Xi hid in the kitchen and kept banging his head. It was so embarrassing. Why was he lost in thought just staring at others.
Li Feng hurriedly walked to the door and saw Cao Xi beating his head repeatedly, and the suppressed laughter overflowed from his mouth.
When Cao Xi heard the sound, he turned around and saw Li Feng leaning against the wall with a suppressed smile on his face, truly in line with the phrase "Zong's handsome and handsome young man".
In order to ease the embarrassment, Cao Xi could only say, "Bring me the vegetable skewers from the yard."
Hearing this, Li Feng looked at Cao Xi with a smile in his eyes, then turned around to get the food.
Cao Xi patted her chest lightly, "The smiling and affectionate eyes are so attractive. Hold on, you're still young, don't worry."
Cao Xi divided the skewers into two piles, cooking some in the pot and leaving some in the kitchen.
Stewing on high heat, the aroma became stronger and stronger. Cao Xi took the cooked skewers under the jujube tree and tasted the dishes with Li Feng.
Li Feng: "Yeah! It's delicious. It's spicy and numb. You'll be addicted to it. How did you do it?"
Cao Xi: "I saw my parents make it before, so I wanted to sell it." To prevent others from getting suspicious, Cao Xi said what she learned was what her parents taught her.
Li Feng: "This prospect should be good. I'll go check it out this afternoon to see if the custom-made utensils are ready. If so, we'll sell them tomorrow."
Cao Xi: "Okay, I'll buy more vegetables and fish in the afternoon." The food trial was a success and the ingredients needed to be purchased again.
Cao Xi: "If the buffaloes have time, let them make some lottery tickets, and we will pay for them." Making the lottery tickets yourself is a waste of time.
Li Feng smiled and said, "Okay, they should be happy to help."
After the two decided, Li Feng got up and went to the blacksmith shop, while Cao Xi put away the skewers left behind, planning to wait for Qin Zhao to come back and cook them for him. She didn't know if he would get used to it on the first day of school.
