Settled in Qixia Town, started with Qingwen

Chapter 37 Cooking
"Oh, I pulled it out from the second-floor window."

Li Xin shrugged.

"Just climb down? What do you want to do?"

Dazui didn't understand.

"It's nothing, I just saw Brother Bai's lightness kung fu is so good, he jumped up behind Miss Yang and stopped her. I was envious, so I wanted to practice it too. What if I become self-taught?"

As if nothing had happened, Li Xin said and walked towards the stairs again.

"Then you can't come up and just climb the stairs to play. It's so dangerous. You will suffer if you fall."

Dazui persuaded Li Xin instead.

"Well, you're right. It's really dangerous. I won't practice next time."

Li Xin nodded as if he was being taught, and went upstairs after speaking.

The big mouth scratched half of the face, feeling a little puzzled.

……

In the evening, the meal time had passed, and no one came up to greet him. He was a little surprised, and went downstairs with Qingwen.

But in the lobby on the first floor, two groups of people were facing each other on the two sides of the table on the Mandshurica mandshurica table.

On one side, Tong Xiangyu was sitting, and behind him were Bai Zhantang, Lu Xiucai, Mo Xiaobei, and Guo Furong whose arms had been bandaged.

On the opposite side, Yang Huilan was sitting, and behind her were her fake father and Li Dazui.

Seeing this situation, the corners of Li Xin's mouth twitched slightly, and he secretly thought that the big mouth is a must, because of Yang Huilan, he dared to blatantly eat inside and outside.

The people on Tong Xiangyu's side should all be looking at Yang Huilan, but they all focused on Li Dazui.

Li Dazui was under a lot of pressure, sweating and apologizing, but he did not change his position and stood firmly by Yang Huilan's side.

Hearing footsteps on the stairs and seeing Li Xin Qingwen coming down, he felt a little relieved.

He beckoned first and said, "Here! Here!"

Obviously, he wanted to draw both master and servant into Yang Huilan's camp, so that his pressure would be shared and relieved a lot.

"Don't listen to him! Brother Li, Qingwen, come to our side!"

Mo Xiaobei also waved.

Since Li Xin often gave her snacks and small toys, he became acquainted with her.

As for Bai Zhantang and Li Xin, she calls the former Brother Bai, and the latter naturally calls the latter Brother Li.

Faced with a choice, Li Xin had no doubts, and Qingwen walked behind Tong Xiangyu and beside Mo Xiaobei.

"Hey, Li Dazui, how are you doing?"

Mo Xiaobei raised her chin triumphantly.

When she was polite, she would call him Uncle Big Mouth, and when she was not polite, she would call her nickname, and occasionally she would call her by her first name, Li Xiulian.

"What, what are you doing? There are so many people, we are keeping a low profile, otherwise I will ask my uncle to send a few yamen servants to support me, just stand here, and I will not cry when the time comes!"

Li Dazui insisted and said.

"Who is his uncle?"

Li Xin asked Mo Xiaobei.

"It's Lou Zhi County."

The latter answered.

"Low-key, low-key."

Li Dazui said as if he had won some points.

"Okay! Don't be silly! Before it's dark, let's settle the matter, Miss Yang, how much silver do you want, let's make a price."

Tong Xiangyu finally broke the situation and spoke first.

Just now, neither she nor Yang Huilan wanted to speak first, and their auras were equal.

However, thinking that this side was at fault, she still took a step back.

"100 taels."

Yang Huilan stretched out a finger.

"What? Impossible! It's too expensive!"

How could Tong Xiangyu agree.

As a result, the two sides began to bargain and drag to the limit.

Seeing that they could not reach an agreement in a short period of time, and it was a protracted battle, Li Xin didn't plan to watch it any longer.

He has to fix the dinner problem first.

"Have you eaten?"

He asked Mo Xiaobei, and at the same time looked at Bai Zhantang, Lu Xiucai and Guo Furong.

"Brother Li, it's okay if you don't mention it, but when I mentioned it, my stomach growled again, and I'm hungry now."

Mo Xiaobei's face showed bitterness, and he covered his stomach with his hands and said.

"Dazui has betrayed, the shopkeeper is negotiating again, no one is cooking dinner."

Lu Xiucai held her belly in both hands, bent her body slightly, and looked hungrier than Mo Xiaobei, even weaker.

In fact, in the past two days, he not only collected leftovers, but also skipped his own meals. He only ate half of each meal, so it's no wonder he is in good health.

"How about I do it?"

Guo Furong wanted to make amends.

"Don't! You have injured your arm like this, you should calm down, lest the injury will add to the injury, and the shopkeeper will have to pay more for the medicine."

Bai Zhantang immediately rejected it.

In fact, if he had to hold Tong Xiangyu back, he would rather go to the kitchen to cook by himself.

Although his cooking skills are average, at least he can eat.

"Hey, what do you mean, I don't want everyone to be hungry."

Guo Furong apparently regained her mood after an afternoon, and her speech was no longer gunpowder-like.

"I'll do it. How about doing whatever I see in the kitchen?"

Li Xin can go back upstairs with Qingwen and eat the food in the space.

But at a time like this, he would feel bad about secretly eating alone, so he might as well come forward.

"No, no matter what, you are also a guest, how can I let you cook by yourself."

Bai Zhantang objected.

"Isn't it a sight? Besides, it doesn't matter if we adults skip a meal. Xiaobei and Qingwen are still children, so how can we starve them?"

After Li Xin finished speaking, he walked towards the back kitchen without waiting for Bai Zhantang to reply.

Qingwen naturally followed closely.

"Wait for me!"

Mo Xiaobei also followed, walking side by side with Qingwen, and the two girls whispered.

When he came to the kitchen, Li Xin took a look at the existing ingredients to know what he had in mind, and then washed the rice for cooking.

Qingwen and Xiaobei sat behind the stove, talking and lighting the fire.

It didn't take long for the meals to be ready.

Because I only made scrambled eggs with leeks and vegetable soup.

Li Xin's cooking skills are probably at the same level as Bai Zhantang's, and he has already given full play to the scrambled eggs with leeks.

And a single dish is too shabby, so I made a vegetable soup by the way, which has no technical content.

Of course, they are all made in large portions.

Scrambled eggs with leeks are served on a plate, which can hold more than two large plates.

Not to mention the soup.

"Wow! It's finally time to eat!"

Mo Xiaobei is really hungry, and will start immediately.

"Let's take the food out and let's eat together."

Li Xin laughed.

"Yes, sister-in-law and brother Bai are also hungry."

Mo Xiaobei nodded obediently.

So, Li Xin took a large bowl of white rice, Qingwen and Mo Xiaobei went out with vegetables and soup respectively.

"50 taels! It can't go any lower."

"Five taels! That's all I have, otherwise you can take Xiao Guo away and see if you can sell it for 50 taels."

When I came to the lobby, I was still struggling.

And the atmosphere became anxious.

"Sister-in-law, it's time to eat!"

Mo Xiaobei walked over first, and brought leek scrambled eggs to the table.

Then Li Xinqingwen put the rice and soup in the middle of the table.

"Mr. Li, is this your cook?"

Tong Xiangyu said in surprise.

She also saw that Li Xin didn't look like a working person, so she didn't think he could cook.

Unexpectedly, looking at this dish and soup, the appearance is not bad.

"Show your ugliness and show your ugliness. Let's eat together. The dishes may not be enough, but the rice and soup should be enough."

Li Xin said this, looked at Yang Huilan and the three of them, and then turned to look at Tong Xiangyu.

"Yes, Miss Yang, let's eat first."

The latter understood and smiled and invited Yang Huilan to join him.
