23 Beasts are inferior
Yan Rui looked at Xiangxiang embarrassedly, and then looked at Xi'en, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
Xi En pursed her lips and smiled, and reached out to bring the plate in her brother's hand, "Today's shepherd's cabbage seems to be very tender, so it can be seen that my brother must have put a lot of effort into picking it for me." As she spoke, she picked up one with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth.
This dish of cold cabbage is made of the most tender capsule, take boiling water, chop it, mix it with fine salt, drizzle it with sesame oil, and finally mix the chopped peanuts. Green, crispy, fragrant, don't say that a bite is just a smell that makes people's appetite open.
Everyone only cherishes the grace and can't get over it and blackens her face, but she talks and laughs freely, eats and drinks casually, and doesn't take what she just happened to heart, and can't help but secretly praise again.
Shopkeeper Chen picked up the chopsticks and greeted, "Since it was a family banquet today, I didn't treat Brother Li as an outsider, so don't be polite, hurry up and taste how it tastes." β
Li Molin took some shepherd's cabbage into his mouth first, and it was really delicious, and he praised it, "Sister Xi'en's favorite food not only looks exquisite, but even this table of dishes may not be better than this plate." β
"Grass and trees are the foundation of all things, just like this shepherd's cabbage, not only people eat it, just like Xiangxiang's sister said, those children and livestock also love to eat. People eat their lives, and animals eat for people's lives, for example, oxen can plow the fields, and dogs can watch over the door. But people often do things that are inferior to pigs and dogs, so that there is a saying called 'animals are inferior', so that people can't despise animals, otherwise they won't ignore their merits and become inferior to beasts? After Xi En finished speaking, he chuckled and pushed the shepherd's cabbage on the plate in front of Xiangxiang, "Sister also try it to see if it still suits your taste." β
Xiangxiang saw that she didn't bring a dirty word, but she scolded herself for being unspeakable, where did she get such anger, on weekdays, her sister still has to let herself have three points, and her father and mother are spoiled. In front of her, a little flower named Hanako, who was despised by her, scolded her as a beast, and the hand holding the chopsticks was already trembling with anger.
"What my niece said is very reasonable, Xiangxiang, you haven't thanked your sister!" Second Master Chen scolded his daughter in a deep voice. Today, it was his daughter who was offended, and in front of his brother, he couldn't say anything about it.
"What, let me thank her?" Xiangxiang looked at his father dumbfounded, and exclaimed, "She is a little girl called Hanako from nowhere, a wild girl, you just don't pity your daughter, and you can't insult your reputation, what niece,." β
"Smack!" Half of Xiangxiang's face was suddenly swollen with a slap by Second Master Chen.
Xiangxiang only felt that his blood was surging, and he ran out of the house after grabbing the door, Biyun had the heart to follow out, but he was afraid that his father would not allow it, so he had to send the little maid to take care of it.
"Xiangxiang is young and ignorant, and he is rude!"
"Second uncle don't worry too much, the child has his own temperament, and it can't be changed overnight, and if she goes, she will understand." Xi En said lightly.
Chen Biyun looked at Xi'en, where is this a lonely little girl, with a majesty in her speech and demeanor, solemn and inviolable. Today's sister was beaten by her father with a provocative word, and if she were to be herself, I don't know what would happen. I can't help but feel a little wary of Xi'en.
"Children have their own children's blessings, we are old, and we will watch them show their talents in the future." Shopkeeper Li raised his wine glass, "Brother, I congratulate Hongchang Dyeing Workshop on adding another faΓ§ade, my brother's prospects are becoming more and more enviable." β
Shopkeeper Chen naturally knew what he said, raised his glass and said, "Three shops, one for you." β
As soon as the shopkeeper Li's wine reached his lips, he was so shocked that he almost spilled it, and a pair of goldfish eyes seemed to come out, "Is this true?" β
"My father is not lying." Xi'en walked over and added wine to her father.
These words came out of Xi'en's mouth, and Shopkeeper Li believed it. Gratitude goes without saying. There are ten places with the best terrain in Fengze County, among which the three shops belonging to the Ma family are the most lively, and they are all places to sell and make money. The Chen family can give one to himself, what can he say about this kindness.
"The Chen and Li families have been friends for many years, if I am also Merlin's enlightenment teacher, Brother Li doesn't have to be polite." Second Master Chen interjected at the right time, and immediately took a little bit of this kindness to himself.
"Exactly, exactly, Merlin was naughty when he was young, and I don't know how much trouble he made for the second master." Mrs. Li smiled and looked at Biyun sitting next to the second lady, "Even when the eldest lady was young, my family was naughty by Merlin." One sentence reminded everyone of the scene when the two played together when they were children, and they all laughed together.
"Look, now that people are older, do you still look like a childhood sweetheart when you were a child?" The second lady looked at Mrs. Li meaningfully, and then looked at her daughter.
Biyun knew what her mother meant, so she was shy, lowered her head and didn't speak. The cheeks are red, and the eyebrows are picturesque, but the form is speechless at this time.
Li Molin turned his head very uncomfortably and ignored it. He is used to slipping his head on weekdays, but at this moment, for some reason, the more he forces and does not know, the more he will involuntarily look at Xi'en.
Xi En had finished eating at the moment, and was taking the tea and tasting tea, looking at Merlin with a smile in his eyes.
Seeing her like this, Merlin was even more weak-hearted, at a loss, and felt at a loss.
"Uncle Li, I will go to Fengze County tomorrow to check the shop and negotiate the rent with Ma Gongzi, you have something to explain, I will tell Ma Gongzi on your behalf." Because he had already decided to transfer to the Li family, Xi En couldn't ignore the Li family's thoughts, so he said hello in advance.
Shopkeeper Li waved his hand again and again, "Everything is up to you, niece, and uncle has no opinion." β
Xi'en said, "There is only one thing that still bothers my uncle." β
Shopkeeper Li was stunned, "If there is anything you want me to do, but it doesn't hurt to say it." β
Xi En pursed her lips and smiled, "I heard that the ten hectares of land you rented out have been planted with peas this year, and I saw that several larger restaurants and restaurants in Fengze County are accepting this thing, so my niece thought about being a favor, and the carriage pulled me back and forth, even if I put a few more bags." β
Shopkeeper Li slapped his palms and smiled, "You are really a seven-trick exquisite heart, this year's pea harvest, but the restaurant in our tunzi can't accept it, and the tenants are worried about not being able to pay the rent." In this way, you have done them a great favor, and I have to thank you, uncle. β
Pity the grace but smile silently, only taste the tea in his hand, and watch someone be courteous to his own skin and flesh without smiling.
In the early morning of another day, Lao Tiantou drove the carriage to Li's house. The tenants had already packed the picked peas overnight and placed them neatly in front of Li's house. Peas are not worth a few children, they are just bought and sold nearby on weekdays, if they are transported into the county, they are not worth the cost of going back and forth. Now that I have this poop, all the swarthy faces are full of joy.
