"Ah~ ok! ok~" Lin Xi quickly agreed.
Just kidding, after passing this village and missing this store, she still couldn't find the safest way to completely deal with this scoundrel for half a year. Now that she had this great opportunity, how could she not seize it, so she quickly agreed.
"But~"
She was a bit embarrassed: "I only have a little flour at home, and I can still make some pasta for the nobles. I really don't have any other good ingredients. I'm afraid the nobles won't be used to it."
Gu Huaipan's eyes lit up and he no longer needed help. He immediately became energetic when he heard that there was something to eat. He pretended to cough twice and said:
"You can also have pasta. I have a knife of meat here. I'll ask him to give it to you."
Gu Qi almost fell down, looking at the moonlight and then at the girl hanging on the wall of the courtyard in the dark night, she couldn't bear it.
My master, are you sure you want someone to cook food in the middle of the night? You have the nerve to say it!
Gu Guojiu, who was so hungry that he didn't feel any embarrassment, even felt that this little girl was actually pretty enough to look at, and she was much more pleasing to the eye than his useless little follower.
Uncle Guo, who wanted to go back to the room and wait for noodles, didn't forget to add, "Please hurry up, girl, before it's too late."
You also knew it was very late. Lin Xi on the wall and Gu Qi beside him rolled their eyes.
That’s all, if you ask someone for something, just do it, so he moved his body that was almost unable to hang and asked in a low voice to the two people below:
"My lord, do you have any condiments like green sauce, ginger root, garlic, etc. in your kitchen? Apart from a little oil and salt, I have nothing else at home. If you have condiments like green sauce, the noodles you make should be acceptable. The mouth of a nobleman”
"Qingjiang and ginger root?" Gu Huaiban looked at his little follower with a puzzled look on his face, and the little follower also looked puzzled.
Okay, it seems that these two people have not even entered the kitchen of their own home, so they reminded in a low voice: "Why don't you two go to the kitchen and take a look?"
The reason why she said this was because the scholar lady from Chen Xiucai's family who lived next door would give her something from time to time, or ask her to help cook dishes or make noodles to entertain guests. She even went to the next door door several times. , entered her kitchen.
When she came back today, she heard that the scholar's family had moved away three days ago. She was still a little sorry that she couldn't bear to leave the scholar's wife Chen.
The reason why the rogue Liu San never succeeded was actually because the neighbor was taking care of them.
It's just that Chen Xiucai has to go to the county to teach from time to time, and occasionally lives in the county school, so Liu Sancai will deliberately come to harass her every now and then on days when his neighbor is not around.
Lin Xi had no choice but to take her younger siblings to hide in the house of her father's friend Zhang Captou for a few days, but it was not an option to stay in his house like this. She had to come back. When she came back, she staged this scene of climbing on the wall to catch the thief. Drama.
Fortunately, Uncle Zhang gave her an iron chain lock from the county jail, so the scoundrel could not open the courtyard door, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
Gu Huaibang frowned slightly and looked at the little attendant. Gu Qi immediately ran to the kitchen. After a while, she ran over grabbing a piece of ginger, raised the lantern in her hand, and asked: "Girl, look at it, is it this?"
"Yes, that's it. Are there any others?"
"Yes, I'll get it again"
After that, he jumped lightly and placed the ginger root on the wall in front of Lin Xi. After jumping down, he ran into the kitchen with a strong wind.

Lin Xi took a closer look, good guy, did you move all the things in the kitchen to her? There is a basket full. With these things, she can make not only a decent bowl of noodles, but also a few dishes.
Holding a bamboo basket bigger than herself and going down the courtyard wall was no less difficult for Lin Xi than carrying an adult over the wall. She tried several times, but she still couldn't carry the basket down.
Gu Qi looked a little worried when she saw her swaying, and glanced at the back of her master who had turned around and walked back to the room, doing nothing with him.
He thought for a while, stood up on his tiptoes and spun slightly, and immediately jumped onto the courtyard wall. Then he picked up the bamboo basket and jumped lightly. The bamboo basket and the person landed steadily in the simple courtyard of Lin Xi's house.
After putting down his things, Gu Qi jumped up and sat on the wall of the courtyard without lingering.
"Do you need me to help the girl?" Gu Qi raised one foot and supported her chin and asked curiously.
Lin Xi glanced at the young man who had already climbed up and down several times effortlessly, and sighed silently. His skill and speed made it seem like she was a person with incomplete limbs.
Shaking her head to reject his kindness, she pulled the wall with both hands and swayed down.
The two little ones below looked at their sister nervously, holding on to the bench without much strength in their little hands, for fear that she would fall.
Lin Xi finally got down, and with some difficulty lifted the bamboo basket and walked to the dilapidated kitchen of her home.
After lighting the fire and touching the heads of the two little guys who were already drowsy, Lin Xi said to Lin Yan softly:
"The bad guy has been caught and everything is fine. You can take your sister back to your room to sleep. When you are ready, I will come back to sleep with you."
Lin Yan nodded sensibly and took Lin Yu, who could barely open his eyes, back to the room in the dark.
By the light of the fire, Lin Xi quickly cleaned the pot, poured two ladles of water into the pot, covered the pot, and took out the heavy pork belly in the bamboo basket.
The meat shone in the yellowish firelight, as if it was about to jump into her mouth, and she couldn't help but swallow.
Miss Lin, who had not been able to take a good bite of meat in the past six months since coming here, was so greedy that her mouth was filled with saliva.
There was nothing she could do, this family was too poor, and she didn't have any golden fingers. She had spent all her energy just trying to bury her mother and try not to starve.
How can she eat such good meat every day? Look at her skinny body with not much meat, and the two younger ones look even more malnourished.
The meat dregs they tasted were still the dregs of pork fat boiled out from the fat they had spent ten cents on two months ago. It was something that was looked down upon in the modern world, and she burst into tears after eating it.
While lamenting, he quickly cut the pork belly into small pieces, and cut it into half. It seemed that the amount should only be enough for one bowl. After thinking about it, two grown men probably wouldn't be able to eat it, so they simply cut into half.
Let the young man take the rest and freeze it in the well, and don't store it in the well. It is estimated that the meat will spoil in two or three days. It would be a pity if it spoiled.
Rinse the cut meat, pour it into the pot and blanch it, then take the meat out.
Wash the pot and add clean water, rinse the blanched meat with water to remove the foam residue on it, then pour it back into the pot, add ginger slices and wine, cover the pot and cook over high heat.
While the meat was stewing, Lin Xi walked to her shaky cupboard and carefully took out the flour.
She opened it and took a look at the small amount of flour inside. It was probably not enough for her to eat alone. When she was in a dilemma, she glanced at the bamboo basket on the side. There seemed to be a big bag of something at the bottom. She put down the flour and walked over to look through it.
Hey~ It’s also flour. When I took a look at the young man who was still sitting on the courtyard wall with his legs dangling, waiting for him, I couldn’t help but want to give him a thumbs up. I have to say that this young man took everything he had into her heart.
Twisting the flour carefully, this flour looked better and more delicate than the only one left at her house, without any impurities.
Just use this. Since you are going to do it, you should do it well and give it to others.
So I poured half a bag of flour into the big basin and mixed it with water.
After making the noodles and waking them up, the water in the pot boiled, and the aroma of meat and wine immediately hit my nose.
The young man on the wall stretched his neck and praised: "Young lady is so good at your craftsmanship, it smells so good!"
Lin Xi smiled at him. In this dim night, she didn't know if he could see her smiling face. Anyway, the direction she looked at the young man was dark, and she couldn't see his appearance at all.
The meat in the pot was sizzling. After cutting the ginger and cracking two heads of garlic, Lin Xi went to the ground and pulled out two wild onions.
After preparing the ingredients and stuffing a handful of firewood into the stove, she squatted down to sort out the things in the basket.
After sorting it out for a while, I looked at the pile of condiments and vegetables and shook my head helplessly. It wouldn't be too troublesome to return so many things later.
After finishing, she was about to get up to go see the noodles and meat, when suddenly a deep voice came from under the courtyard wall.
