Xie Changyuan stepped into the door and saw the three people inside the house.
He knew Xiaoqing, but the other two old men were strangers.
This made him frown, and he couldn't help but feel wary.
The two old men were well-dressed and did not look like bad people, but at this moment they were sitting on their beds, eating their own bacon in their own iron pots.
Using someone else's stuff without permission is a bit too much.
Xie Changyuan's brows furrowed even more.
As for the parties involved, Gao Wenchong and the two looked at each other in confusion, and then looked at Xiao Qing.
Xiaoqing wanted to get angry when she saw Xie Changyuan, but due to the current situation and considering the identities of the two old people, she swallowed her anger.
"I let them use it, and they paid for it."
After finishing speaking, Xiaoqing picked up the silver given by Gao Wenchong from the ground and handed it to Xie Changyuan.
This is a piece of silver of good quality. It looks like it costs at least ten taels. Buying a piece of pig head meat for ten taels of silver is indeed a very cost-effective deal.
Xie Changyuan looked at the silver, then at the three people in front of him, and finally snorted coldly, reached out and took the silver and stuffed it into his arms.
"You are good at making decisions." Xie Changyuan seemed to be lecturing Xiao Qing.
Hearing this, there was a bang in Xiaoqing's mind, and a fire of ignorant karma rushed into her heart.
There is such a shameless man in the world. He didn't talk about breaking an appointment before he did it, but he had the nerve to blame the person for whom the appointment was broken!
"You..." Xiao Qing's chest rose and fell, and her pretty face gradually turned red as it was not as calm as before.
An urge to hit someone came up in her heart.
Seeing the tit-for-tat confrontation between the man and woman, the situation seemed to be on the verge of getting out of control, so Gao Wenchong acted as a peacemaker.
Gao Wenchong waved his hand.
"This strong man, please calm down. This is all the fault of my greedy husband and wife. Please don't blame Ling Zheng!"
Gao Wenchong had an apology on his face.
Xie Changyuan and Xiaoqing were both stunned when they heard this.
Lingzheng is the honorific title given to other people's wives. Apparently the old man misunderstood something and mistook Xie Changyuan and Xie Changyuan for a young couple.
"I'm not..." Xiaoqing's face turned red and blue. It was the first time that she was misunderstood by someone, and she was at a loss for a moment.
A feeling she had never felt before filled her mind, a feeling called shame.
Xie Changyuan was the first to react. Seeing Xiao Qing's embarrassing situation, the displeasure in his heart had mostly subsided, and he didn't mind the transgressions of Gao Wenchong and the other two.
"You can leave as soon as you finish. I am not a small business owner, and this is not a restaurant."
Xie Changyuan walked to a shelf and took off a small sack from his back.
There was a clanging sound inside the sack, which was obviously filled with bottles and cans.
Xie Changyuan checked the condition of the bacon. Fortunately, the firewood did not damage the meat after he left.
He took out a jar of coarse salt from his bag, and then a bamboo tube filled with water. He sprinkled a handful of salt into the water and stirred it evenly, then picked up another bottle.
After unscrewing the stopper, a salty aroma floated out, and a reddish-brown liquid was poured from it, which was obviously soy sauce.
He spread the simple sauce he prepared on the bacon, and then moved it outside to dry naturally. In fact, this step should have been done a long time ago, but he didn't buy the seasoning at the beginning. Now that he came back from Guan Suzhi, he brought some with him.
.
Xie Changyuan turned around and walked in. It happened that Gao Wenchong and the two had also finished eating. They met head-on. Gao Wenchong smiled and Wang Huan nodded.
"Yes." Xie Changyuan stepped out of the way and watched the two old men leave.
Xiaoqing was the only girl left in the ruined temple.
After sending Gao Wenchong away, Xiaoqing seemed to have no scruples anymore, and stared at Xie Changyuan with a pair of almond-shaped eyes, obviously it was time to settle the score.
Xie Changyuan thought for a while and seemed to have remembered something. Looking at the angry Xiaoqing, he couldn't help but apologize awkwardly.
"Don't do it, I know what you want to say, I apologize to you!"
Xie Changyuan raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, with a look of helplessness on his face.
He remembered the agreement he made with Princess Linyang, but he went into the city that day and originally planned to look for Xu An's bad luck, but instead he met the Imperial Master Lu Heng.
There was a conflict between the two parties, so Xie Changyuan hid in the north of the city for five days and missed the meeting.
Now that the suffering master came to the door, Xie Changyuan was blocked and had no choice but to bow his head and admit his mistake.
Of course, Xiao Qing will not be discouraged by this sentence.
"You don't make promises. My princess is a daughter of a daughter. It's a great blessing for you that she wants to meet you. How dare you make fun of Her Royal Highness!"
Xiao Qing was so angry that her face turned red. Looking at Xie Changyuan's face, she really wanted to pounce on him and punch him a few times.
Then she remembered that she had just been misunderstood by the Prime Minister as this man's wife, and she became even more ashamed and angry.
Xie Changyuan shook his head, "Stop saying these useless things, just tell me directly, how do you need me to compensate you?"
Xiaoqing's eyes widened. Apparently, women couldn't stand men's nonchalant attitude, especially when they did something wrong.
Panting heavily, she raised her hand and made a fist, bursting out with golden energy, and punched Xie Changyuan in the nose.
"puff!"
Xie Changyuan stood still and took Xiaoqing's fist with his face.
Although Xiao Qing is a woman, she possesses the realm of golden elixir. Although she cannot beat Xie Changyuan at ordinary times, if the latter deliberately opens the door wide, hitting a weak spot can still cause severe pain.
Xiao Qing hit Xie Changyuan with a punch, causing Xie Changyuan to tilt his head back. Two nosebleeds came out of his nostrils. He staggered back and covered his nose.
After the punch landed, Xiaoqing still had no relief. He stepped forward and punched and kicked Xie Changyuan. Suddenly, a strong wind blew up in the ruined temple, blowing up the dust on the ground. Fortunately, Xie Changyuan had just moved the bacon to the door.
Let it dry outside, otherwise the loss of this meal will be considerable.
Xiao Qing's fist was not big, white and tender, but it contained enough power to kill a cow with one punch. The punch made a ping-ping-pong-pong sound on Xie Changyuan's body, just like a blacksmith striking iron.
After venting his anger, Xiaoqing raised his leg and kicked Xie Changyuan, and then stopped.
Xie Changyuan stood staggeringly, brushing off the dust on his clothes with an indifferent expression.
"Have you finished venting?" he asked.
Xiaoqing snorted coldly, walked around Xie Changyuan and walked out.
"Tomorrow, go to the reception building in the west of the city to meet my princess!" There was anger in his words.
Xie Changyuan turned around and shouted, "Would you like to take some pork back!?"
