The flatbed truck on the return trip was also fully loaded.
The load of all these things was not as heavy as a wild boar, so both the master and the servant sat in the cart, each occupying one side, and the purchased items were piled in the middle.
Among them were rice, grains and vegetables that Aokiji was familiar with, but also objects that seemed unfamiliar to Aokiji, such as large and small axes, strange saws, and various things that couldn't be named.
"Miss, this" she asked, pointing to one of them.
Qixing said: "Plane."
Qing Pheasant made a sound and moved his finger again. Before she could ask, the young lady had already answered, "Mo Dou."
The lady frowned again after speaking.
"This ink fountain is not good. I will make one myself when I go back."
Qing Zhi took his fingers back and rubbed them on his knees. He couldn't help but ask: "Miss, why do you hunt and hit the bed like this?"
"Because." Qixing said.
Qingzhi took over the conversation: "Because the lady is very handy." He said angrily, "I know the lady is very handy, but how can she do this with such skill? The lady has never done it before."
"Have you never done it before?" Qixing looked at her, with a faint smile on his lips, "Do you think your young lady is only good at embroidery, making clothes and combing her hair? That's Qixing in the Lu family, not Qixing in her own family.
"
Qing Pheasant probably understood what the young lady meant. The young lady was very skillful with her hands and knew a lot, but she didn't have the chance to show it off when she arrived at the Lu family.
Miss Qixing at home is different from Miss Qixing at the Lu family.
She should no longer be confused and shocked, she should also wake up, now she is the maid of Miss Qixing of Xinghua Mountain!
Aokiji stretched out his hand on his lap again, picked up a small chisel from the dazzling array of tools, and looked at it carefully to get familiar with it.
Qixing stopped looking at her and looked ahead. The sun was setting in the west, the afterglow spread over the ground, and the mountains and lakes were faintly visible.
"Have you ever seen how handy Qixing is at home?" She seemed to be asking Qing Zhi, and seemed to be talking to herself.
She has seen it.
….
….
After a few rains, summer turned into autumn. Standing in the courtyard, a gust of wind blew by, and my eyes were refreshed.
Mr. Lu Kang stood on the porch and looked at the garden.
The Qi family's house they bought was finally renovated, and they moved in on an auspicious day. When the good news came that their son was admitted to Imperial College, a celebration banquet was held in the new garden.
Compared to the Lu family's old house, this garden is much larger, and the cost of a banquet will also be greater.
Of course, Mrs. Lu doesn't care about these expenses.
"So, she became an Orion?" Mrs. Lu Er's voice said behind her.
Mrs. Lu San's voice was filled with laughter: "She has nothing but the mountain to live on."
There are many wild animals in the mountains. If you pull a rope, dig a hole, and set up a basket, you can always hit a few rabbits, pheasants, etc.
Before that girl came to their house, she grew up on the mountain over there. These things were what she did every day.
"Didn't Fushun tell me last time that I saw them carrying a basket of wild eggs for sale?"
Mrs. Lu Er also laughed: "I thought she could sell her crafts."
There is no saying that Ah Qi is good at embroidery, and Mrs. Lu San naturally knows that, but...
"This embroidery is not just about craftsmanship." She said, reaching out and pinching her cuffs. The materials for this year's new autumn clothes are getting better and better. "She only has craftsmanship, no fabric, and no good needlework. How can she show her craftsmanship to others? And
If her net worth is unknown, who dares to invite her?"
Mrs. Lu Er glanced at Mrs. Lu’s back, and it could be seen from her back that Mrs. Lu was not in a good mood——
"Ah Qi's good skills were developed in our family. My sister-in-law dotes on her and allows her to use needles and threads as she pleases and toss with good materials." She said with a smile, "My sister-in-law still dotes on her now. Noisy
If something like this happens, my sister-in-law can bear it."
Mrs. Lu turned around and said unhappily: "Don't mention her anymore. People who are gone, why mention her? You are so free, you are responsible for organizing this year's autumn banquet."
Mrs. Lu's second wife and Mrs. Lu's third wife both stood up in surprise. Mrs. Lu was very stingy, holding all the family's money in her hands and letting them organize the banquet. There were really a lot of benefits to be gained.
Mrs. Lu came out of the mansion happily and met a steward who was specially designed to help the eldest lady when she was out.
Thinking of her previous words, Mrs. Lu wanted to relieve her sister-in-law's worries and call him.
"What is Fushun doing in Xucheng? Is it fun to watch that bitch live her life? Are you buying fresh wild eggs?"
The manager apologized and said, "It's really an oversight. I'll go there in person right now..."
Mrs. Lu Er interrupted him: "No, there is no need for our family to take action personally for this trivial matter. I can just tell my nephew."
Mrs. Lu Er's natal family is from Xucheng. Although she is just a pawnbroker, she is still considered a local leader with a big business. The steward smiled and tried to please her: "That's great, thank you for your hard work, sir."
Mrs. Lu Er waved her hands calmly: "What a big deal, isn't it just to let people know that the world is difficult."
The so-called difficult world means that even if you are just carrying a basket of wild eggs, you will trip and break them while walking on the road, and you will lose all of them.
In fact, wild eggs are not easy to pick up. Green Pheasant carefully calculated that it would be better to raise chickens, ducks and geese to lay eggs and sell them better.
Accompanied by the morning light, the sound of chopping vegetables came from the kitchen of Xinghua Cottage. Not long after, the green pheasant came out with the basin, not to the main hall, but to the back of the house, which was surrounded by a fence.
A group of chickens and ducks.
The green pheasant cooed a few times and put down the basin of mixed wild vegetable batter, and the chickens and ducks rushed up to peck at it.
Qing Pheasant picked up a few eggs from the chicken coop. They were still warm in her hands. She raised her head and looked toward the other side of the mountain. A woman was slowly approaching in the morning mist that was gradually dissipating.
"Miss." She raised her hand happily, "I'll steam you another egg and then you can eat."
Being so far away, I didn't know if I could hear her, or maybe just because I saw her, the girl in the morning mist also raised her hand and shook it slightly.
Qing Zhi took the eggs and entered the kitchen. The stove was clean and the pots and pans were complete. He just glanced at it and found that except for the iron pots, many of them were made of wood.
Qing Pheasant picked up the wooden ladle and scooped out the water. While boiling the water, he quickly cracked the eggs into the wooden bowl and stirred them. When the pot steamed up, he put the beaten eggs into the wooden cage and covered the wooden pot with a lid.
After doing this, there were footsteps outside and the sound of the door being pushed. It was the young lady who was back.
"Miss, please wash up first." She said loudly.
There was a response through the door and window, followed immediately by the sound of water.
After Qing Pheasant placed the vegetable porridge and steamed egg cake on the table in the main room, Qixing also walked in with a vapor all over his body.
"Miss, have you chosen the ingredients?" Qing Zhi asked.
The lady has already prepared two beds, tables and chairs in the room, but she still needs to build two more rooms, one to house the donkey and cart, and the other to store the lady's tools.
Now, in addition to the tools she bought, she has also made so many things that there is no room for them in the house.
Qixing said: "It has been chopped."
Qing Pheasant once again sighed that the young lady was really amazing, and said, "When I get back from the city, I'll ask Uncle Wang and the others to help transport it down."
Qixing nodded and sat down.
"I sold my prey today and bought some more rice and vegetables. We'll treat them to a meal," Qing Pheasant said.
Qixing held the bowl and chopsticks: "Then I -"
Qing Zhi knew what the young lady was going to say and quickly stopped him: "There is no need to go to the mountains to hunt anymore. Enough is enough. This is enough at home." He then smiled playfully and said, "The pheasants and rabbits on the mountain will be scared to move away by the young lady.
gone."
Qixing also smiled and lowered his head to eat.
After entering the city, Qingzhi and Ah Qi first went to Shunde Building. After Shunde Building picked up what they needed, they went to the market to sell the rest.
"Ah Qi, Xiao Qing, you're here." The waiter from Shunde Building was already familiar with him, so he waved at the entrance of the alley.
Qing Pheasant also smiled and called her brother.
The little brother helped them pull the car into the backyard, and a man unloaded the car without Qingzhi and Ah Qi having to do anything. The man also gave each of them a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
Two people sat on a bench and ate.
At this moment, Qing Pheasant even felt that this life was better than when he was at the Lu family.
But the next moment, the good days were broken.
"It's just that your things are not clean!" A loud noise came from the front, "Our young master is so hungry, and you guys in Shunde House still don't admit it! Let us see what dirty things you, the back cook, have hidden!"
The guys in the backyard all looked forward, and the green pheasant also stopped. Only Ah Qi was still eating the sweet-scented osmanthus cake carefully, holding the fallen dregs in one hand.
A group of people rushed over. Two stout servants were supporting a young man in his twenties. The servant was in a menacing manner. The young man was bent over and ouch, followed by the store clerk and the helpless shopkeeper.
"Mr. Ning, this is a misunderstanding," the shopkeeper said, "Everything in our Shunde Building is clean."
"How can they all be clean!" Mr. Ning yelled, bending over and looking around with a pair of black eyes. When he saw the wild animals being weighed, he straightened up immediately, pointed and shouted, "Isn't that right? I just want to eat today.
I got wild rabbit meat. It turns out that the pheasants and rabbits you have been using in Shunde House are of unknown origin. I don’t know how long they have been dead, and I don’t know whether they were poisoned or how they died!"
this!
Qing Zhi, who was originally watching the excitement, turned stiff and dropped the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his hand——
It didn't fall to the ground, it fell into the palm of a hand.
"Don't waste food." Qixing said, putting the sweet-scented osmanthus cake back into Qing Pheasant's hand.
