Xuezhi, who was still a little excited at first, gradually returned to her senses when she heard about the extra food.
This home is not hers. If she comes to eat, she has already increased the burden on her sister. If you add two men who can eat, how can your sister afford it?
Presumably, these two grown men can eat as much as my sister and grandma would eat in three or four days!
Jiang Hongxuan looked at Xuezhi and said nothing, and then remembered what Yan Shiqing said about her grandma's body before, so he coughed unnaturally: "Is Jiaci here?"
How could Xuezhi, a little country girl, understand such a formal title as Jia Ci?
She just looked at Jiang Hongxuan in confusion, not understanding what he was talking about.
Jiang Hongxuan coughed unnaturally again and said, "Are your adults here? For example, your father or your mother!"
Before he came, he had already inquired about the situation of Yan Shiqing's family. The reason why he asked deliberately was just to pretend to be a stranger and knew nothing about the family.
Logically speaking, there are currently three women in this family. As outsiders, it is not good for them to appear here and they should avoid suspicion.
But they were curious, so they wanted to come and have a look.
Ordinarily, when a foreign man comes to a house, the man of the house will accompany him. For them, who are strangers, it is also necessary to ask this question.
However, they usually ask if the father-in-law is here, rather than asking Jiaqi directly.
Xuezhi originally had a good impression of such a good-looking man, but when she suddenly heard these words, there was a hint of wariness in her eyes.
Why does this person ask this? What is his purpose?
After knowing that there are only three girls in the house, old and young, you wouldn't want to plot evil against them, right?
"What does my master's presence have to do with the young master?" xdw8
Xuezhi's words are stinging. If you are a knowledgeable person, you will leave knowingly after hearing these words.
But by chance she met two men who came here on purpose.
Seeing that Jiang Hongxuan had annoyed Xuezhi, Chu Ximo spoke up again, "Girl, I don't mean any harm. It's just that it's dinner time now and we are a little hungry. I would like to ask if you have any extra food. We are willing to pay for it."
Of course, you don’t have to do it deliberately, we can just eat whatever we have at home!”
When Xuezhi heard that she was willing to pay money, her eyes lit up, but then she hesitated.
This man said he would give her money, who knows if he is telling the truth or lying to her?
Don't look back and give them food. They just left like this. What will happen to my sister and grandma?
Jiang Hongxuan, who was usually fawned over, realized what he was doing now. He took off the purse on his waist, took out the smallest piece of silver and put it on the table.
Table (Actually, Yan Shiqing saw that it was inconvenient to eat at home, so she turned a larger bamboo basket upside down on the ground, and put a wooden board on top).
"I wonder if these are enough?"
When Xuezhi saw the broken silver, her eyes opened as wide as possible. This was the first time in her life that she saw silver instead of the copper plates that the villagers were used to.
She nodded unconsciously and said repeatedly: "That's enough, that's enough. Master, please wait. I'll ask my sister to make more food!"
Great, this broken silver looks quite big, it should be worth several dollars. She finally helped her sister make some money.
In the kitchen, Shi Wu's pie was ready and he was making egg yolk pumpkin when he saw Xuezhi jumping up and down and coming in with a face full of joy.
"Sister, the young man who was begging for water outside said he was hungry and asked us to give him some food. This is food money!"
Yan Shiqing saw the broken silver in her hand and thought of the two men with extraordinary status, so she accepted the silver without hesitation: "Zhizhi knows how to help sister make money, she is so good! Sister, keep this money first and go back later.
In the town, I will buy a nice piece of cloth and make you new clothes."
Xuezhi felt even more pleased when she heard her sister's words.
She knew that her sister actually loved her. Even if her sister forgot about her, she still loved her as before. No, it hurt even more than before!
"Sister, no need, I have clothes to wear. There is still a lot of money to spend at home, so you should keep this money first."
Shiqing didn't say anything, she just picked up a piece of salty egg white and stuffed it into Xuezhi's mouth.
She also felt warm in her heart, thinking, this is my sister, a well-behaved and sensible sister who makes people feel sorry for her!
The cabbage pie is ready, the egg yolk pumpkin is also quick, and the dry beans are equally quick.
Yan Shiqing thought that the two grown men had big appetites, so she looked at the pumpkin porridge that had been cooked, scooped out a bowl for Mrs. Ruan, and asked Xuezhi to carry the rest to the hall.
As for what she and Xuezhi would eat, she planned to make some noodles and just eat a few bites first.
In the hall, Chu Ximo and Jiang Hongxuan's eyes lit up as they looked at the bowls of food being served.
The two of them were placed there because of their status. Even if they were out and about, the food was better than what ordinary people would eat at home.
This is the first time for them to eat something as simple as this.
The two of them took a sip of the thick pumpkin porridge first, regardless of how hot it was. They felt as if their stomachs had been cleansed and their whole bodies felt relaxed.
For the first time, I realized how delicious a simple bowl of porridge can be.
When they took a bite of the pie, they were originally full of expectations, but their hearts suddenly fell back.
The porridge is delicious, but the pie is really nothing special. It doesn't taste as good as it smells.
This girl’s skills need to be improved!
After taking another bite of egg yolk pumpkin, the two looked at each other and couldn't help but nod.
This dish is pretty good and goes well with that bowl of porridge.
But compared to the pie, it doesn't look like it was made by one person at all.
After picking up a pair of chopsticks to stir-fry beans, the two of them silently stopped commenting and reached out to the egg yolk pumpkin again with a tacit understanding.
A doubt arose in both of their minds. Could it be that this was actually done by two people?
The pies and beans were actually made by the little girl just now? As for the pumpkins, they were actually made by the little girl Shiqing, right?
Naturally, Yan Shiqing in the kitchen didn't know that her cooking skills were being complained about.
Because there was some dough left over from making the pie before, she was cooking two bowls of these noodles briefly before preparing the sauce and preparing to mix it, when she heard Jiang Hongxuan's voice coming from the hall: "Girl, are you here?"
?”
Yan Shiqing paused while holding the chopsticks, then handed it to Xuezhi and said, "Zhizhi, you mix it. You eat it first, and I'll go take a look!"
After she finished speaking, she walked towards the hall.
When he saw the untouched pies and dried beans on the dinner table, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Mr. Jiang, is this not to your liking?"
She made a total of five pies, and now there are three more. As for the two, she only took a bite. She stir-fried green beans, and looking at the remaining ones on the plate, it seemed that there were only one or two.
Chu Ximo pretended not to see Yan Shiqing, and picked up a piece of egg yolk pumpkin gracefully without squinting. Jiang Hongxuan, who was named, laughed and said: "It turns out that this is Miss Yan's house, what a coincidence! Since
If you and I know each other, this will be easier to handle. We two men have big appetites, do you think we can eat together?"
As he spoke, he took out another piece of broken silver: "If you don't have enough money for food, here's more!"
Yan Shiqing will not have trouble with money. What she needs most now is money. When she saw a piece of broken silver on the table that was larger than before, it was estimated to be about five yuan, she put it away without saying a word: "Wait!"
