The girl who wears fast

Chapter 199 Dalang, it’s time to drink medicine (9)

When Huo Shichu came back with a full load, Wei Qi was talking to a man in his 50s in the yard. When he saw her coming back, he waved to her and signaled her to come over.

"This is the village chief. After I came back from this injury, he helped me a lot." Wei Qi introduced.

"Hello, village chief, thanks to your care for Dalang before, if it weren't for you, Dalang might be dead. Our family is poor and we don't have anything good to thank you. I caught a lot of fish today, so I will give it to you." You two as a thank you gift?" Huo Shichu said with a smile.

He actually caught two fish, tied them with straw and handed them to the village chief.

The village head quickly declined and said: "Why are you being polite to me? Dalang is my nephew who I saw growing up. Can I really watch him being kicked out of the house to die? You can keep this fish for yourself. Your situation is not very good..."

Wei Qi glanced at Huo Shichu, and said to the village chief very seriously: "Village chief, just accept it, this is our little wish, if you don't accept it, our conscience will be disturbed...or maybe you dislike this Is two fish too light as a thank you?"

When the village chief heard his words, how dare he refuse? Isn't this refusal really disrespectful?
"Hey, you are too polite. Since you have said so, then I will accept it. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to my uncle and tell me. I will help everything I can." The smile on the village chief's face was more sincere. A little bit, he helped Wei Qi before because the old man Wei and the others had gone too far. He was afraid that something would happen to Wei Qi, so he slowed down. He didn't expect Wei Qi to be grateful. Help the wrong person.

The village chief returned home with two fish in his hands, and Aunt Hu was just about to make dinner. When she saw the fish in his hand, she asked in surprise, "Old man, have you gone to the town to buy fish?"

The village chief shook his head triumphantly, and said with a smile: "I didn't buy it, but Wei Dalang's family insisted on giving it to me, saying that he thanked me for helping him. His wife is generous and cheerful, and has a good personality." , it seems that Da Lang is looking for a right wife, and the two of them will have a good life in the future, and they may not be worse than others."

The village head had a very good impression of Huo Shichu. After hearing this, Aunt Hu agreed, "That kid is indeed a good one, and he doesn't dislike Da Lang. Even when he went to the market, he still thought about buying meat for Da Lang's health..."

"They are all hard-fated people. Since you are destined to become members of our village, old man, you should take care of them more in the future, and the two fish sent by his family will not be in vain..."

The village chief nodded and said, "That's natural."

Huo Shichu didn't know that because he gave away two fish, he gained favorability between the village chief and his wife. Although the village chief is not a high-ranking official, he has great status and power in the village, from the sale of fields to the purchase and sale of houses and title deeds. Site selection and other matters have to go through his hands. If he makes things difficult for you, then you will only have a headache; but with his help, these matters closely related to your own interests will definitely be handled smoothly.

After seeing the village head off, Huo Shichu saw that there were still a lot of fish in the bucket, so he said to Wei Qi: "Aunt Zhou has helped me a lot recently, and I have to give her some fish if I catch them. "

Wei Qi had no objection, so Huo Shichu caught a few fish and sent them to Aunt Zhou. Aunt Zhou refused to accept them at first, but was finally persuaded by Huo Shichu, who said that he would ask her for help in the future. If Aunt Zhou didn't accept it, then Huo Shichu wouldn't have the face to bother her in the future, so Aunt Zhou accepted it.

"Wei Qi, can you use both hands? Help kill the fish?" Huo Shichu looked at Wei Qi who was doing nothing, and asked.She has been busy all day, so she can't take care of everything by herself, can she?She is not a maid, Wei Qi wants to be a gentleman who sits and waits for food, but she does not agree.

Wei Qi saw that she was looking at him with piercing eyes, as if she would list out many reasons endlessly once he refused, so he compromised, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "Okay."

Huo Shichu quickly brought his dagger to kill the fish for him. The largest of these fish weighed less than three catties, so it was perfectly fine to kill them with a dagger.

While he was killing the fish, Huo Shichu went to wash the ginger, onion, mushroom and other ingredients, and started cooking again.

After Wei Qi killed the fish and the rice was cooked, he began to fry the fish.

"Brush it—" the fish made a loud noise when it put down the oil pan, Wei Qi seemed to be able to see the smoking pan, the rolled up snow-white fish meat, the slightly charred fish skin and the tangy smell Come the scent...

Huo Shichu stewed mushroom fish soup, fried small fish, and made a vegetable, which was dinner for the two of them.

In order to save some money, the villagers always had dinner before lighting the oil lamps, and Huo Shichu was no exception. She even put all the tables in the yard so that the light would be brighter.

Although there are only one vegetarian and two meat dishes, but because the portion is large, even if Wei Qi eats a lot, it is enough to eat.

Every time he saw Wei Qi eating, Huo Shichu felt as if he was very hungry and was rushing to eat, because he ate very fast and fiercely, although his movements were not rough and annoying, and even elegant, But he felt like he was fighting a war when he ate food, urgent, fast, ruthless, and fierce.

"Did you always rush to eat in the military camp?" Huo Shichu asked curiously, "Did you run out of food because you were late?"

Wei Qi paused his hand to hold the vegetables, his eyes flashed an inexplicable light, and he soon returned to normal. He nodded and said with a natural expression: "Yes, the meals cooked in the military camp are all rationed, but some people If you eat faster and eat more, if you take someone else's share, you will naturally not be full if you eat slowly. I have been in the army for many years, and I have been trained to become a habit."

He smiled at Huo Shichu, seemed a little uncomfortable, and said, "Did the way I eat scare you?"

"That's not true, but now you are not in the military camp but at home. No one will compete with you for food. You can eat slowly in the future. If you eat too fast, you will suffer from indigestion and stomach pain." Huo Shichu kindly reminded him, "After a long time, you will get stomach problems."

"Then I will gradually correct this defect in the future." Wei Qi said, the speed of eating slowed down as expected.

Huo Shichu's eyes suddenly rolled up, and she felt satisfied. She didn't care that Wei Dalang had stomach problems. She just didn't want to be as nervous as fighting a meal. She was easily influenced by others when eating. So fast, she will be infected involuntarily, so how can she enjoy the food, swallowing jujubes, chewing peonies, her good cooking skills are in vain.

But Wei Qi also thinks of his precarious days when he was hungry and full. At that time, they had no time to enjoy food, and they had to fill their stomachs in the shortest time, otherwise your food would be destroyed by someone in the next second. If you rob it, you even become the rations of other creatures. The food really belongs to you only if you eat it in your stomach. How can you have the time and mood to enjoy it leisurely?
