Chapter 25: Hurtful Gossip
"This man...... What does this man mean? Kyaukyao, is he really the shopkeeper of Qingyun Building? I'm not a liar. "How could the shopkeeper of Qingyun Building come to their small stall with dignity.
Bai Jiaojiao divided the remaining meatballs into bowls, and there were still a few bowls left, which would be over soon. "Except for the shopkeeper of Qingyun Building, who else would be so dragged?"
"Also, he actually said that you made it rough, I think he doesn't know the goods, and he has the ability to do it himself."
The brother and sister are both extremely upright people, such a small episode was quickly forgotten by them, and they still did their own work, and it was not until after the stall was closed that they took their things to Qingyun Building.
Qiu Hai sat at the door early to drink tea, and when he saw Bai Jiaojiao, he stretched out his hand and beckoned them to come over. "Take a sip of tea first."
Bai Jiaojiao sniffed it, "It's so mellow, it really deserves to be a Pu'er that grows under a century-old camphor tree." ”
"Oh, Xiao Langjun also has research on tea?" What a surprise for him.
"I can't talk about it, but I've seen the description of camphor fragrance Pu'er in the book, if it weren't for the rhizome growing under the camphor tree since childhood, how could it be dyed with a strong camphor wood smell?" After saying that, Bai Jiaojiao still seemed embarrassed to stick out his tongue. "I guessed too."
"Guess wonderfully, I'm afraid that few of my frequent guests here can distinguish the four flavors of this Pu'er." Qiu Hai loves tea, and when he saw such a young acquaintance, he immediately became a little kinder.
Bai Jiaojiao touched the teacup and seemed to be sipping tea, "I don't know what advice the shopkeeper Qiu gave me and my brother over?" ”
"Just call me Uncle Qiu." The shopkeeper waved his hand, not interested in those polite words. "What is the matter with me looking for you, and you don't have anything in your heart?"
The old fox, Bai Jiaojiao, put down the porcelain bowl with blue and white on a white background. "If it's because of the fish balls, I do have a more elaborate approach."
"Hehehe, I like to deal with smart people. We have dozens of branches in Qingyun Building, and the standard is not high-quality products, to be honest, I also let the chefs in the building try to make fish balls. It's a pity that the taste is the same as in the capital, the fishy smell is heavy, and the taste is not smooth enough......" Qiu Hai fiddled with the lid of the tea bowl and made a crisp sound. If it weren't for the white jade, he wouldn't be so picky.
"I know, I will come to visit Uncle Qiu in three days, and I will definitely not disappoint Uncle Qiu at that time." Bai Jiaojiao lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes curved, as if he was laughing.
"Okay, then I won't keep you, it's not too early, if you don't go back, your family will have to worry." Qiu Hai got the answer he wanted, so there was no reason to keep people, he was very busy, and the current Bai Jiaojiao didn't have the weight to delay him so much.
The Bai brothers and sisters also understood, stood up and bowed and took their leave.
At dusk, Bai Li also got off work, hiding the tiredness in his eyes, and listening to Bai Hua and Bai Jiaojiao count today's business.
Bai Jiaojiao didn't miss his hidden emotions, and sighed slightly, presumably the eldest brother was angry again. "Brother, let's go catch fish, it's fun." Pulling Bai Li is going to take him to relax.
Bai Li had no choice but to agree to her. After the three of them put their things away, they went to the river, and to their surprise, Liu Jiahe, who was originally deserted, squatted a lot of people.
Seeing that the three brothers and sisters of the Bai family arrived at the river, those people's minds suddenly came alive, especially after seeing Bai Hua catch two big fish, a boy who was about the same age as him couldn't help it.
"Hey, Bai Hua, I heard that your family is starting to do that now, what's the matter?"
A person next to the "fish ball" immediately mentioned it.
"Yes, yes, how did you do that?"
Bai Jiaojiao glanced at the boy standing in front of them with his toes on his toes, and he had a look on his face that he had obediently handed over the method, and he was immediately amused. This is their family's secret recipe, and they can give it to you so casually.
Sure enough, Bai Birch didn't even want to pay attention to them, and caught his own fish.
"Are you deaf?" The neglected boy kicked over the birch's bucket, and the big fish that fell out of it immediately made their eyes red. "How did you catch this fish, why can't we catch it."
Bai Hua was immediately annoyed by him, stood up and looked at him viciously, "Are you looking for a fight?" ”
The boy was a little frightened and hesitated to take a few steps back. "Bai Hua is going to beat someone, Bai Hua is going to beat someone!"
Sure enough, the women who were watching the excitement immediately grabbed the handle. "Bai Erlang, what are you doing, when the people in our village are easy to bully."
"Sure enough, it's an uneducated wild child."
"Don't worry, the aunts are here, see who dares to beat someone."
Bai Jiaojiao's fishing rod fell. "Okay, the people of your village, I remember that our family entered the household in Lizheng, why are you not from the village, are you questioning Lizheng?"
"Oh, what are you talking about, I don't dare to speak this bad-mouthed aunt." The woman carrying the basket immediately raised her head and laughed with the woman next to her.
The woman next to her was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Bai Jiaojiao. "I didn't look closely, this is really the little third lady of the Bai family, I don't know what demon method I used last time to break our big dragon's arm."
"Men and women are not witches, and they are demonic, and they look the same as her mother."
Li Dalong's family has always held a grudge. "You all stay away, my little bolt went to his house and the next day I didn't know which one lacked virtue to strip naked and robbed, this thing is evil. I think their family is a monster. ”
"If you're talking nonsense, I'll tear your old woman's mouth." Bai Hua was so angry that his whole body trembled, and he stepped forward to pick up the branch and wave it over.
The group of women hurriedly took a few steps back, but still pointed.
"We don't need to worry about the affairs of our Bai family." Bai Li pulled Bai Jiaojiao for fear that she would be stimulated.
"Brother, I'm fine." Bai Jiaojiao sneered, the more you care about this kind of gossip, the more fierce it will be, since she chose to do this, she is not afraid of others scolding her. "When they say theirs, they don't hear it."
Under Bai Jiaojiao's persuasion, the three of them sat down and fished quietly. Seeing that they ignored them, and the others also followed the side, their idea was nothing more than that they could mix some big fish when they got closer, but how did they know that with Bai's spices, where could the big fish still see their fish food.
Sure enough, people who have been squatting for a while can't help their temperament, after all, they still have serious things to do, and they can't keep consuming. can only secretly scold the Bai family for their good luck, and then disperse one after another.
When the people were almost gone, Bai Jiaojiao carried the fishing rod. "Let's go, go collect the net." If it weren't for the sake of making an appearance for others, she wouldn't have wasted this time fishing here. With her fair personality, it is what she wants to catch it quickly and neatly.
After repeatedly explaining what had just happened and not being able to tell the Liu family, the three brothers and sisters returned home, and the Liu family had already prepared a meal and was waiting at home.
