Chapter Seventy-One: The Pot

"Definitely."

Qin Mao smiled: "Don't worry, little lady, when they come, I will definitely ask them to have more silver with the little lady." ”

When Li Feng'er heard this, she didn't hold on to it anymore, but took a notebook, wrote down how much Qin Mao owed money, how to repay the debt, and asked Qin Mao to press his handprint on it.

Li Luan'er watched from the sidelines, feeling very fresh, she didn't think that this Qin Mao was a bully meal, but felt that Qin Mao was the kind of person who had lived for so many years, rarely saw silver, and always asked others to take the account when he went out, and he wouldn't even bring silver.

Qin Mao is such a person, looking at his demeanor and dress, he looks like a rich son and brother of an official family.

Li Luan'er wanted to see if Li Feng'er left this kind of son-in-law in the store, how would he get along in the future, and whether Qin Mao could stand the life of a civilian.

After Qin Mao signed his name and pressed his handprint, Li Feng'er had a smile on his whole face: "Now, your family has not been found, you see, the snow outside is heavy, who knows when they will be able to find it, you can't eat and drink for nothing during this time, don't you, so let's leave the matter of washing dishes and dishes in this store to you, do it well." ”

At this time, the remaining guests all checked out one after another and left, and Qin San'er politely sent these people out with a smile on his face.

When the others left*, Li Feng'er said loudly: "Qin San'er, come here." ”

Qin San'er smiled and said, "Little lady, what are your orders?" ”

Li Feng'er pointed at Qin Mao: "This is Qin Mao, you and he are both surnamed Qin, maybe it was still a family five hundred years ago, you took him to the kitchen to teach him to wash dishes, I asked Ma Fang to close the door, and then went to the backyard to pinch some tender vegetable leaves, and then asked Aunt Zheng to slice some frozen mutton, and we will eat the pot in a while." ”

"That's a good idea." Qin San'er responded with a smile, and bowed his hand to Qin Mao very politely: "This Langjun is invited." ”

With a bitter and astringent expression on Qin Mao's little white face, he begged Li Feng'er for mercy: "Little lady, I, I really haven't washed the dishes, look at this...... Am I not enough to have more money with you? ”

"Nope." Li Feng'er refused: "If you don't want to be sent to the government, hurry up and wash the dishes." ”

As soon as he heard the word "government", Qin Mao immediately became honest and obediently followed Qin San to the kitchen.

But after a while, I heard a crackling sound, and I heard Li Feng'er's exclamation: "You, you person, what do you say you can do, tell you to wash the dishes, you almost beat all the bowls, tell you to chop wood, you can chop at your feet, tell you to light a fire, you make this room of smoke, okay, you stand aside and see how others get it." ”

Li Luan'er listened to it very funny, and was full of expectations of what kind of surprise Li Feng'er would bring after deducting this son-in-law.

Anyway, the days have been a little calmer, and sometimes, it's good to have a little surprise.

After a while, Li Luan'er sat by the stove and roasted hot, drank hot tea, and the whole person warmed up, she stood up and stomped her feet, went out of the back door, and went to the backyard where she entered the third place.

After entering the backyard, Ma Xiaoya hurriedly greeted her, and while explaining to Li Luan'er the affairs of the family in the past few days, she put the cotton slippers in her hand under the porch, ready to let Li Luan'er change.

Li Luan'er changed her shoes, went into the house and changed her clothes, and sat in a clean and warm room, only to feel that all the hard work in the mountains and forests in the past few days had disappeared, and people had become lazy and didn't want to move.

"Little girl, if you still have anything to eat, get me some hot porridge and a few side dishes."

"And hot soup cakes." Ma Xiaoya said with a smile: "The vegetarian buns made by my mother have pickled pickles, and the eldest lady looks good." ”

"That's all." Li Luan'er waved her hand: "You hurry up, I'm hungry." ”

"Alas!" Ma Xiaoya agreed and went out quickly, and it didn't take long to bring the food up, Li Luan'er looked at the bun made of a big and thin skin, presumably the filling inside was very sufficient, and saw that the soup cake soup was thick, and the noodles were also thick and tendonous, smelling a smell of beef, and sprinkling tender cut garlic seedlings on it, which made people very appetizing at a glance.

She drank two large bowls of soup cakes, and ate four or five steamed buns, even the small pickles on the plate were all eaten, and when she touched her stomach, Li Luan'er felt that there was an object at the bottom of her stomach, and she thought that Li Feng'er had said that she would eat the pot for a while, so she didn't let Ma Xiaoya add rice.

"Little girl, stay for a while and ask your father and your brother to clean up the prey I came, let's put the horses on the nitrate at night, this year's weather is cold, the snow is heavy, this skin must be very easy to sell, if it sells well, I will get you a silver hairpin to wear during the New Year." Li Luan'er stretched her waist: "I'll go to the bed and lie down for a while, and then call me when I eat the pot later." ”

"Ugh." When Ma Xiaoya heard that she was going to give her a silver hairpin, she couldn't be happy early, responded with a smile, went out with chopsticks, and jumped up to find her father and her brother to pack up the prey.

Li Luan'er slept very well this night, woke up, the house was dark and there was no figure, she knew that the weather was not early, and the sky was dark early, thinking about it, it should not be too late at this time, she got up and opened the door to look outside, and saw that the snow flakes were getting bigger and bigger, and they were like pulling cotton wool one after another, and the yard had been paved with a thick layer, but the bluestone path was clean, presumably the Ma family cleaned the road in the yard.

After combing her hair again, she took a basin with hot water to wash her face and even her face, Li Luan'er put on a thick cloak and went out, and turned into Mrs. Jin's house in a few steps, and saw that Mrs. Jin's house was already in charge of the lamp, and she was wearing a half-new cotton robe, and was sitting on the bed to settle accounts.

"What's there to calculate in the account book, when the weather is good, it's not too late for you to read it slowly." Li Luan'er made a sound, but it startled Mrs. Jin, Mrs. Jin looked up at her coming, and smiled: "Anyway, I'm free, it's early, you sit down first, and wait for me to write down this account and let's talk." ”

Li Luan'er sat down as she said, and after a while, Mrs. Jin put away the account book and smiled at Li Luan'er: "The business in the store is getting better and better, from the beginning of autumn to now, you have earned almost two hundred taels of silver, you can save more in the future, and you don't have to work hard to hunt in the mountains." ”

Li Luan'er shook her head: "It's enough to exchange the money for ordinary people, but I always feel that it is insufficient, I want to buy a house in the capital, and I have to marry my brother, and there are many places to use money after entering Beijing, so this money is really not enough." ”

Mrs. Jin smiled bitterly: "You kid, I said everything, when I enter Beijing, I will naturally have your residence, and I also have an industry in Beijing, and these are not all left to you, you, you just don't want to." ”

"I want to." Li Luan'er looked at Mrs. Jin and said word by word: "It's just that I'm afraid that I will use your property to cause trouble, I'm afraid I won't be able to understand the situation when we enter Beijing, it's better to keep a low profile, if I use the money I earn to buy a house with my brother and buy a property, I am not afraid of being checked, and when the time comes, it will be convenient to act." ”

Mrs. Jin shook her head: "That's it, that's it, just do what you say." ”

Seeing that Mrs. Jin didn't force it, Li Luan'er also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, Mrs. Jin's reputation is too great, who knows what the way her money comes from, Li Luan'er is not afraid of anything else, she is afraid of using her hands.

She doesn't have any power now, and she doesn't want to take her family to hide in the mountains after the defeat, so everything must be considered.

After talking to Mrs. Jin about some short words of the parents, I heard the cry of Ma Xiaoya outside, Li Luan'er answered, hugged Mrs. Jin and walked out.

When I got to the front yard, I saw that the hall was already furnished.

There is a small charcoal stove in the middle of the two tables, and there is a good silver filigree charcoal in it, and the specially made mandarin duck pot on top is also steaming, and it smells like a fresh and spicy smell in the room.

Next to the stove are a variety of sparsely sliced frozen lamb, as well as fine vermicelli, frozen tofu, and some fried meatballs.

Li Luan'er first hugged Mrs. Jin and asked her to sit on the main seat, and asked Li Chun to sit on the left side of Mrs. Jin's head, she sat on the right side, and Li Feng'er sat on her head, and that Qin Mao had already changed her clothes, a short cotton shirt and cotton pants in green cloth, and thick cotton boots on her feet, sitting opposite Mrs. Jin.

The Ma family, Qin San'er, and a cook recruited by the store all sat at another table.

Li Chun smelled the fragrance of the pot, he couldn't be hungry for a long time, so he picked up the chopsticks and said; "Hurry up, everyone hurry up."

As soon as he said this, everyone picked up their favorite dishes with chopsticks and began to stir them.

Li Luan'er loves to eat meat, mostly meat and meatballs, Li Feng'er loves to be a vegetarian in winter, shabu is Chinese cabbage leaves and a few tender green vegetables, Li Chun eats everything, and after a while, there is a big bowl of food in the bowl in front of him.

Mrs. Jin eats very slowly, as if she is not eating, but doing a very literary thing.

And that Qin Mao felt very fresh, while shabu-shabu, he looked left and right, looked around, didn't look at it for a while, put a piece of frozen mutton into half of the pot with a lot of chili peppers, took it out and put it in his mouth and took a bite, almost jumping up without spicy.

Li Feng'er looked at him funny, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Li Feng'er was originally delicate and abnormal, this smile was more like a peach blossom with dew in spring, indescribably beautiful, and Qin Mao, who was looking straight at her, looked straight at her.

Li Luan'er looked at him like that, and coughed lightly: "Qin Xiaolang, drink some warm water first." ”

"Nerd." Li Feng'er covered her mouth and chuckled, but poured a glass of warm water and handed it to Qin Mao: "Drink some warm water and rinse your mouth, you can't eat spicy food, and you are still reckless, isn't it a joke." ”

"Alas, alas." Qin Mao took a sip of warm water a little stupidly, and said that this little lady Li looks really powerful, how do you know that she is a knife-mouthed tofu heart, a mouth is very strong, but her heart and eyes are really good.

Qin Mao can't eat spicy, Li Feng'er loves spicy very much, most of her ingredients are put in that half of the spicy pot, after eating a lot of spicy, the whole face is even more glamorous, which is extraordinarily eye-catching.

Li Luan'er couldn't help but laugh when she looked at her like this, and said in her heart that it was no wonder that there was a phoenix in her name, this spicy personality was a bit like the phoenix in the Red Mansion. RS
