"Why are you here today?" When Qin Zhao came, Cao Xi was reading the account book.
Qin Zhao: "I see the weather is nice, and I want to go to the night market with you in the evening." The night market in summer is very lively, selling everything.
Cao Xi: "Okay, you go to the back and wait for me. I'll be finished soon."
Seeing that Cao Xi agreed to his invitation, Qin Zhao felt like he was in bloom, and he walked briskly to the backyard.
Buffalo looked at the two of them with envy. He also wanted to go to the night market with Xiaorui.
"I didn't know they were engaged before. I just thought they had a good relationship as siblings. Now that I know, it suddenly feels so sweet."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a biting chill coming over him. He turned around and found Li Feng glaring at him, and Buffalo swallowed his saliva.
Li Feng withdrew his gaze, glanced at the sunny Qin Zhao, and mentally snorted, "Silly Baitian"
"Brother Zhao, you are here"
Xiaorui happened to go to the kitchen to take something and bump into Qin Zhao. When she saw Qin Zhao, her eyes were still shining, but she didn't approach Qin Zhao like usual and just said hello briefly.
................................................................. .....................
It wasn't until night fell and the shop closed that Cao Xi went to the backyard and asked Qin Zhao, "Let's go to the night market together."
Bored, he finally heard Cao Xi's voice. Like a child waiting for candy, he happily came to Cao Xi and said, "Let's go."
The two of them wandered side by side at the night market, and Cao Xi was dazzled by the stalls on the roadside. When she was fascinated by the calligraphy and painting, a meat pie appeared in front of her.
Qin Zhao smiled and held up the meat pie, gesturing to Cao Xi to open his mouth.
Cao Xi lowered his head and bit hard: "When did you buy it? Why didn't I see it?"
Qin Zhao pointed behind her, Cao Xi thought, and sure enough, Qin Zhao was never more than five meters away from her when they went shopping.
Qin Zhao also took a bite of the meat pie. The scholar selling calligraphy and painting looked surprised. What was he doing in front of the public?
Cao Xi didn't think there was any problem. In the past, when I was poor, I could only buy one portion. Over time, I got into the habit of shopping and buying one portion for two people to eat.
After eating the meat pie, they bought a bowl of sour plum soup. After drinking it, the two of them walked around the night market aimlessly, looking very leisurely.
................................................................. .............................
When resting at night, the two of them were lying on the bed. Cao Xi then told Qin Zhao about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Today he was talking about the Battle of Hefei, but Qin Zhao’s perspective on the problem was really confusing. He actually felt that Sun Quan in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Sun Ce are the most powerful, because they have no backers or fathers. They rely on their two brothers to support the entire country, and they are always bullied.
Cao Xi was a little embarrassed because it was almost time for Sun Ce to die.
...
The next day, as soon as Qin Zhao arrived at the academy, he approached Qi Qige and asked mysteriously: "Do you know where I can buy good wood?"
Qin Zhao's initiative made Qi Qige a little uncomfortable. He quietly moved to one side, "Why are you asking?"
Seeing Qi Qige's wary face, Qin Zhao felt contempt and said, "I want to buy a better piece of wood."
Qi Qig: “How big do you want?”
Qin Zhao pointed to Qi Qige's table, "Just half of the inkstone will do."
Qi Qige looked puzzled: "So young? What can you do?"
"Do you know?" Qin Zhao was a little anxious after hearing his random talk without getting to the point.
"No need to look for it, I'll go back and look it up for you."
Qi Qige's things were piled up in a mess in the warehouse, and she vaguely remembered that there seemed to be a piece of sunken wood placed in the corner.
Qin Zhao: "I'll wait for you here after school. You go home and bring it to me."
Qi Qig: "In such a hurry?"
Qin Zhao glanced at Qi Qige with cold eyes. Qi Qige said, "Then wait for me in the academy."
................................................................. .............
Qin Zhao didn't even give Qi Qige time to pack her schoolbag after school.
"I'll help you clean it up. Go back and get the wood."
Qi Qige had no choice but to accept his fate and rush home with such a sincere friend.
Qi Qige is worthy of being a child of the Fugui family. Although the piece of wood is not big, it is good. The wood has high density, good hardness and beautiful texture. The overall color is brown and red, which is very beautiful.
Qin Zhao fell in love with this piece of wood at a glance and kept looking over it in his hands, "This wood is really good? How much does it cost?"
Qiqige thought he was hallucinating, "What did you say?"
Qin Zhao looked like you are an idiot and asked Qi Qige to confirm that he was not hearing hallucinations.
He began to suspect that the person in front of him was a fake. Why was this earth toad suddenly asking for money? Qi Qige narrowly wondered if there was some conspiracy involved.
After a long while, Qi Qige said tentatively: "Here you go, what's the matter with money?"
Qin Zhao: "No, I have to give you money."
Qi Qige was shocked, "You took the wrong medicine. When did you ever give me money when you took my things? What happened today?"
Qin Zhao "You must pay for this piece of wood."
How could he let Cao Xi use things given by other men.
"You really don't need to give it." Qi Qige was confused by Qin Zhao and had begun to suspect that Qin Zhao was going to break up with him.
Qin Zhao took out the silver he prepared today from his pocket and handed it to Qi Qige, "There are fifty taels here, I don't know if it is enough."
When Qi Qige saw Qin Zhaozhen giving him some money, he hurriedly took it and said with a smile: "I won this from a bet with others, and I don't have much capital. I will accept your fifty taels and don't spend them as offerings. I will give them to my descendants in the future." Look, let them know how difficult it is for me to make money in the hands of their Uncle Qin."
Seeing Qi Qige accepting the money with a playful smile, Qin Zhao quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Qi Qige was famous as the devil in the world. He always deceived others. He had never seen anyone take advantage of him. He only owed money in front of himself. Those who owe money rush to pay.
................................................................. ............................
Qin Zhao did not go to pick up Cao Xi today. He simply made dinner and began to study his piece of wood. He first drew on the paper and changed the drawing, but he still had no clue until Cao Xi came back.
Cao Xi: "Qin Zhao, I'm back."
She looked around and saw no one. She shouldn't have. Just when she wanted to take a look at Qin Zhao's house.
Qin Zhao walked out in a panic, "Cao Xi, you are back. Let's start dinner now."
After saying that, he went to put the tables and chairs. Cao Xi always felt that Qin Zhao was a little abnormal today.
While eating, Cao Xi looked up from time to time and said, "Qin Zhao, are you hiding something from me?"
The sudden question made Qin Zhao's heart tighten, and he tried his best to act normal "No"
Cao Xi looked at it suspiciously, as if he was overthinking it. After dinner, Qin Zhao didn't even listen to the story, and rushed into the bedroom without coming out.
Cao Xi stood in the empty yard by herself, thinking that except for the days of scientific examination, he had never stopped telling stories in the evening. Sure enough, he was hiding something from her.
Hi! This was all caused by over-familiarity. Cao Xi shook his head and went back to the bedroom to draw hot pot models. She wanted to make a mandarin duck pot, so that she could cook it with Qin Zhao at home.
................................................................. ............................
Since Qin Zhao's abnormal behavior, Cao Xi secretly observed him and found that he was no different except that he got up early and went to bed late. But today, Cao Xi accidentally saw that Qin Zhao's hand had been cut with many small cuts.
"What's wrong with your hand?" Cao Xi took Qin Zhao's hand, but before he could take a closer look, he pulled it back.
Qin Zhao: "It's okay, I accidentally scratched it while cooking."
"You think I'm stupid? You don't know how to cut your hands when you're seven years old."
Cao Xi grabbed Qin Zhao's hand angrily and looked at the dense scars on his hand. Some were new and some were old. They were not made in a day.
Cao Xi's eyes were red with anxiety, and his voice was trembling, "How did you do this?"
"It's really okay." Qin Zhao blamed himself for being careless today and not hiding it well.
Qin Zhao didn't want to talk about things that you wouldn't ask even if you beat him to death. Cao Xi had no choice but to give up and apply some medicine on him bit by bit.
Cao Xi: "No matter what you are doing, try not to get yourself hurt."
Qin Zhao looked down at her, "Cao Xi, you were so serious when you gave me medicine for the first time."
The day of the escape seemed like yesterday. Qin Zhao rubbed Cao Xi's hair with his hands.
Cao Xi: "Shut up, don't think that I can let you go if you are sensational."
Qin Zhao laughed softly, his laughter was pleasant and cheerful.
In the next few days, Qin Zhao's hand really had no new injuries, and the old injuries healed little by little, and everything returned to its original state.
Qi Qige followed Qin Zhao idlely and went shopping with him.
"You don't want to open your own jewelry shop, do you?"
"You won't know what to buy until you see it?" Qin Zhao said something that was neither salty nor bland, making Qi Qige stagger.
Qi Qige gritted her teeth and had no choice but to risk her life to accompany the gentleman. She followed Qin Zhao into the sixth store. The clerk was enthusiastic and thoughtful.
Guy: "Two young masters, what do you want to see? I will introduce it to you."
"No need for now, I'll take a look myself"
Qin Zhao lowered his head and rummaged through the shop until he saw a plate of pearl jewelry.
Waiter: "Master, you have such a good eye. This is the new pearl jewelry from our shop. Pearls are rare."
"Do you have a single pearl?" Qin Zhao wanted pearls, not pearl jewelry.
"Here, there are some, but they haven't been processed yet." The clerk didn't expect to meet someone who was buying semi-finished products.
Qin Zhao: "Take it out and show it to me. I want to buy one."
When the clerk heard this, he went to the counter to negotiate with the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper raised his head and looked at Qin Zhao and the others, and said yes to the clerk, and then the clerk came over with a plate of pearls of different sizes.
Guy: "Master, these are the pearls we have in our store. Do you like any of them?"
Qi Qige picked up a pearl and looked at Qin Zhao through it. "If you want a pearl, tell me. Why go through so many wrongful journeys?"
Qin Zhao: "I also saw it and decided to choose it."
Qin Zhao held up a round and plump pearl and asked: "How can I buy this pearl?"
The waiter smiled and said, "Twenty taels of silver a piece."
"Are you robbing money? I have never seen any kind of pearls before, but you have the nerve to ask for twenty taels of silver for a pearl the size of your fingernail." Qi Qige stopped.
The guy's face turned red at what he said. He kept glancing at the shopkeeper, but finally the shopkeeper came to the rescue himself.
Shopkeeper: "Master Qi, it's you who blame this guy for being ignorant and offending you."
Qi Qige: "You can hold me back. It took me so long before you saw it. Just give me the lowest price for this pearl in my friend's hand."
The shopkeeper looked at Qin Zhao's hand, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Fifteen taels of silver, we can't lose it."
Qi Qige raised an eyebrow at Qin Zhao, and Qin Zhao said, "Then wrap it up for me."
When the two of them left the shop, Qi Qige asked curiously, "What can you do if you just buy this one?"
"It has its own uses." Qin Zhao smiled more as he chose the accessories he liked.
"Let's go to Cao Xi's shop for a bowl of spicy hotpot." Qi Qige urgently needed to find a place to sit down and replenish her strength.
................................................................. .....................
When she found out that the two of them were here to eat spicy hotpot, Cao Xi suggested, "If you're not too hungry, go to my house later and I'll make hot pot for you."
"What is hot pot?" Qiqige was either too hungry or too tired.
"It's similar to Malatang, but the way of eating it is different. It's more delicious than Malatang," Cao Xi explained rudely.
So after closing the shop, the three people went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and meat, and then went to the blacksmith shop to pick up the mandarin duck pot that had been customized a few days ago.
