"Miss Lin, my master asked me to bring the bowl back to you."
Lin Xi looked up and saw a young man in black clothes sitting on the wall of the courtyard again, swinging his slender legs and greeting her with a smile. Is he back?
Glancing at the open door of her house, she was curious, did the little guard not like to go through the door? Because of his good skills, he always likes to climb over the wall?
Lin Xi waved to him: "You're here just in time. The noodles are ready. Bring the bowl and I'll wash it and serve it to you."
Lin Xi wiped her hands and was about to go over to take the bowl. Gu Qi motioned to her: "Miss Lin, just stand still and I'll get it for you!"
As he spoke, he held a big bowl in one hand, swung a large sack with the other, swung it on his back, and jumped down vertically.
Lin Xi took the two large bowls he handed and walked into the kitchen. Gu Qi followed her and said, "I still have more than half a bag of japonica rice in the kitchen. My master also asked me to bring it to you."
"Ah?" Lin Xi was shocked. He gave her a basket of ingredients for nothing, but he also wanted to give her half a bag of japonica rice? Why is this so embarrassing?
Gu Qi didn't think anything was wrong. He walked past her and carried most of the sack of japonica rice into the kitchen, and asked familiarly:
"Where is the rice vat?"
Lin Yu, who was sitting on a small chair, carefully pointed out the place with her little hand.
Gu Qi grinned at the little girl, who was so frightened that the little girl hid her head in her brother's arms, and Gu Qi laughed.
Miss Lin's little sister is really cute. Following the direction of her little finger, he put down the sack and lifted the rice into the rice vat.
Lin Xi ran to the rice vat and opened the sack. Oh my God! The white-flowered rice weighs about thirty kilograms by visual inspection. Is this also a gift for her? Is there such a good thing?
Although she wanted and envied her very much, she knew that she could not take so many things from others for nothing, so she asked Gu Qi in disbelief:
"You gave me the basket of ingredients last night. It's half a bag of japonica rice. I'm really embarrassed to accept it!"
"You're welcome, Miss Lin." Gu Qi scratched her head in embarrassment.
"The food you cooked is delicious. To be honest, we don't know how to cook. Before last night, the master and I hadn't had a good meal in almost three days."
"Giving these to the girl is actually selfish. I just want to ask the girl to cook some for us, so that we can share in the girl's meal."
After saying that, he blushed a little and could only laugh a few times.
Ever since his master was poisoned and injured, and was forced by the Queen to temporarily leave his post and return home to recuperate, his master has become extremely cunning.
No, on the first day they came here, they actually found a few old ladies in the village to cook, but the taste was hard to describe, even worse than what he cooked.
And in this small Chenhua County, they didn't have a restaurant, so finding a cook who could suit the master's liking wouldn't be possible in a day or two, and the master didn't want his whereabouts to be known.
Moreover, for so many years with his master, it was common for him to eat and sleep in the open, so later on they either ate dry food or went hungry, waiting eagerly for his fifth brother to return from the mission as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, there was a beautiful girl with good cooking skills hiding next door, and they even managed to get rid of a scoundrel for her by some strange combination of circumstances. Wasn't this a mistake?
The worthless little follower Gu smiled brightly.
Lin Xi also covered her mouth and smiled. It was a good feeling. This way she could accept it, not for nothing. It would be easier to do what she asked for, so she said with a smile:
"Okay, we've taken advantage of you. When it's ready, I'll call and you can come and pick it up."
"Okay! Thank you so much, Miss Lin." After saying that, he also bowed to Lin Xi to express his gratitude.
Lin Xi quickly stopped him: "Neighbors help each other, it's just a little effort." Just like they helped her, it was just a meal, a trivial matter.
Lin Xi smiled and washed the two large bowls and filled them with two more large bowls of noodles.
Gu Qi, who was holding a bowl in one hand, held his face firmly and planned to jump over the wall again. Lin Xi couldn't help but kindly remind him:
"Young Master, why don't you go through the door? There are cracks in the courtyard wall. Be careful of the wall falling down."
"Haha~" Gu Qixiao, who had another full meal, said to Lin Xi with narrowed eyes:
"Miss Lin, just call me Gu Qi. Don't worry about the courtyard wall. It won't fall if I don't touch it, and it won't be able to crush me if it falls."
Um~ This is not only a matter of the courtyard wall, but also the two big bowls of noodles in your hands, be careful that they will suffer together.
I couldn't help but suggest with some worry: "Let's go through the door!"
Seeing her insistence, Gu Qi thought about it and just walked through the door. It would just take a few more steps and it wouldn't be a big deal, so she nodded:
"Okay, listen to the girl." He took small steps and disappeared into the yard in an instant, leaving only an afterimage.
The two little guys stared at him with their eyes wide open. They couldn't help but admire them when they saw the elder brother carrying two bowls of noodles and running so fast without spilling a drop of soup. He disappeared in an instant.
Lin Xi called the two little guys back to their senses in a funny way, filled two bowls of noodles, and put some of the remaining braised pork into their bowls. The three of them sat on the small wooden table under the eaves and ate.
It was a rare meal of noodles full of oil and water. The three of them had a delicious meal. They all burped several times. Seeing the two little guys standing up and showing off their bellies, Lin Xi was a little amused and worried, afraid of them. Hold on.
Sure enough, a full meal can make people satisfied. It seems that we need to think carefully about how to make more money. While filling our stomach, we must also have more oil and water to be beautiful.
What should I do? She doesn’t have golden fingers, and she can’t sew, write, or draw?
Forget it, she didn't have pen, ink, paper and inkstone to speak of. The calligraphy in her hand was correct at best, but it was far from beautiful.
When it comes to painting, she only knows sketching and paint. Where can I find paint in these ancient times, so it's not practical.
After thinking about it, besides knowing how to eat, she was also good at cooking.
She deliberately went to the county town and saw that there were all kinds of food for sale on the streets. If she wanted to cook, she had to be able to do something different.
It is not difficult to make something different. Based on her experience as a living person, there are many things that have never been seen in this world. However, she has no money and no ingredients, which is a difficulty.
There is another problem. Their Taohua Village is a bit far away from the county seat. It takes two hours to go back and forth. It is not realistic to rush to the county seat every day to sell food. Even if she gets up early and rushes there late at night, dragging two small children, the time is short. Fortunately, it definitely won’t work for a long time.
So if she wants to make a long-term business, she has to live in the county town, but she has no capital now, so she can't go.
A wise woman cannot make a meal without rice, and a penny cannot make a hero.
Lin Xi, who was basking in the sunshine with her head tilted, couldn't help but feel a little frustrated after thinking hard and still couldn't find the best way.
I was staring at the pile of sweet potatoes beside the stove in a daze, and suddenly I had an idea: I have it~
The food fight reappeared last night, and Gu Qi, who didn't get many noodles next door, was so angry that she jumped up and down.
He didn't even get the rest of the meat from his master today. If he hadn't quickly stuffed the piece of meat into his mouth, he might have lost even that piece of meat.
Gu Xiaoqi, whose face turned black with anger, puffed out his cheeks and stared out the window angrily, almost jumping out to fight the three black guards.
Looking at the clean big bowl, he gritted his teeth and said, "I will go to Miss Lin's place to eat and then come back to see how you rob me, hmph! I'll starve you to death!"
Gu Huaibang smiled and leaned on the bamboo chair with his legs crossed. He looked at this useless little follower who jumped over the wall and couldn't even grab a piece of food. He was not surprised.
"Master, won't you help me?" Gu Xiaoqi was so angry that he started to accuse his master.
The master then snapped angrily: "You can't beat me and I can't snatch you away from you. Just accept your defeat and find your own way."
"Hmph~" Gu Xiaoqi, who was poked at the sore spot, hugged her chest and squatted in the corner, chewing the meat in her mouth and feeling sad secretly. She then bullied him, the youngest, and let's see how he retaliates against them when he gets older.
Gu Xiaoqi, who was sulking and almost poking a hole in the ground, silently scolded his brothers. After a while, a hare and pheasant were thrown from the window and hit him, making Gu Xiaoqi jump up in anger.
"It's over or not, let's have a fight!"
He took a closer look at what hit him and landed on the ground. He held his breath in mid-air and narrowed his eyes.
"Miss Lin!~" Gu Xiaoqi couldn't wait to pick up the things with a chicken in his left hand and a rabbit in the right, and climbed over the wall again. Uncle Guo closed his eyes and didn't want to look at it.
