155. Regulars
Suddenly seeing Qing Cang appear in the village, star fruit was startled, and instantly suspected that the heavens still had some abilities when she crossed, such as the spell of the god and the general, otherwise why did she think about Qing Cang, and Qing Cang arrived?
"Peach, is the new house comfortable?" Qing Cang is still that warm and easy-going appearance.
"Of course it's comfortable." Carambola is still inevitably a little proud, but she hasn't forgotten to pat Qingcang's ass. "Thank you Brother Qingcang for helping so much at the beginning."
"It's just a gesture." Qing Cangdao.
Star fruit pouted secretly, this seems to be humble, but in fact it is crazy! If there was no Qing Cang when building a new house, she really didn't know what to do a lot of the time, but now Qing Cang said that it was just a "gesture", what is this not a show?
But star fruit will not say that Qing Cang is ostentatious in any way, but continues to let herself show the sweetest and adoring smile.
"It's a big deal for us, but it's just a small matter for Brother Qingcang, which shows how powerful Brother Qingcang is." Star fruit tried to endure herself, not to let herself use poetry indiscriminately, but to try to make the sycophants as straightforward as possible. "This time, our village has built a school, and we have to trouble Brother Qingcang."
"Won't it?" On the way here, Qing Cang saw that the courtyards in the middle of the village were full of things, but the small house had not been demolished. "I just returned to Mizhen, and if you don't say that you will pick me up, you will send me something to do, which is too much to say!"
Eh, when did this Qingcang learn to be oily and slippery and rob while the fire was hot? While feeling in her heart, the heart of the people is like the ancient world, and the world is declining, while looking at Qingcang with a smile.
"Brother Qingcang knows so many people, there must be many people rushing to pick you up when I return to Mizhen, I am self-aware, and it will not be my turn. Besides, I'm just a kid in this village. It's not from Mizhen. ”
Thinking that he was really stingy when he said this, and it was not the attitude that he should have when he asked someone to do something, star fruit hurriedly added.
"When the school is built, I will definitely invite Brother Qingcang to eat the dishes I made myself, which are no worse than those restaurants in the town."
Qing Cang looked at the cunning little face of the star fruit, and was really a little suspicious. I was calculated by this little girl again. But isn't it just to send a few more wagons to pick up the masons, or find a carpenter? It's really not a big deal. What's more, this little girl also promised to cook for him by herself.
"Okay!" Qing Cang reluctantly agreed, and immediately saw the little girl in front of her smiling even brighter.
In the following days, Qing Cang naturally became a frequent visitor to the village just like the carambola family built a house, and occasionally did not leave at noon, and was invited to the house by several old men in the village to eat at home.
And the meals of the master masons are all cooked at Aunt Lu's house. One is that it is close, and the other is that the courtyard of Aunt Lu's house is relatively spacious, and the women in the village, including Aunt Liu, who is pregnant, and Aunt Feng, who has a young child, all take turns to cook, but there is no need for Aunt Lu to do it herself.
And those who didn't have their turn to cook, they embroidered and made cloth stickers at home with peace of mind.
The men were still busy with their own business, after all, the garden and the work in the fields. Unlike embroidery and cloth stickers, you can't wait.
Qing Cang occasionally came to the interest. also took Mo Qiu to the vegetable garden to have a look, and heard that the original idea was actually from star fruit, Mo Qiu couldn't help but glance at Qing Cang. Qing Cang's face was not unusual, he was still smiling gently, and his eyes were bright.
What made Qing Cang depressed was that he came to the village every once in a while. And the girl star fruit didn't leave him to eat at her house once before the school was built, as if he was really helping their village, not herself.
"Brother Qingcang, grandpa is highly respected. If he lets you, I won't let you! "But every time he has obviously arrived at the star fruit's house, those old men come to invite, and this little girl is full of words.
Fortunately, building a school is not so complicated, and the house is small, so it is much faster than when the star fruit family built a new house.
On the day of completion, it is undoubtedly a great joy in the village, and at noon there is simply a banquet in the school and several nearby courtyards, Qingcang is now not only a frequent visitor in the village, but also a distinguished guest, of course, among the invited.
"Momoko, I've been waiting to eat your own food!" After eating, Qing Cang took Mo Qiu to look for star fruit.
Star fruit originally thought that those grandfathers would send Qing Cang, a nobleman, to the village gate, eat something casually at the banquet, and then go home to take a nap, but unexpectedly, Qing Cang wanted to eat her meal, and came to her again without hesitation, and couldn't help but express sincere admiration for Qing Cang's tireless spirit of seeking food under Qing Cang's gentle and noble appearance.
"That, Brother Qingcang, the day after tomorrow is the day of the market in Mizhen, why don't you take me to Mizhen that day, I will buy vegetables and come back, please eat." Carambola was quite helpless, but for the sake of Qingcang's persistence, she had no choice but to fulfill her previous promise.
Qing Cang pretended not to see the helplessness on the face of the star fruit, and agreed to leave with satisfaction, and told the star fruit very understandingly that he would not have to send him for a nap.
Star fruit rubbed her eyes, yawned again, vaguely thinking about Qing Cang's smug face, and wondered if she was in trouble again.
Carambola told her grandmother in advance, saying that Brother Qingcang had done the village a great favor, and he hadn't had a meal at home for a long time, but now he was fine, and she also wanted to invite him to the house for dinner.
Grandma naturally agreed. During these days, she had already let Qing Cang several times, but Qing Cang was invited away by others, and she was very reluctant to go. After all, this Qingcang not only helped the village, but also made him suffer a lot when their family built a house.
On the third day, Qing Cang arrived very early, and there was no need to find any other reason to take the star fruit to the town.
Grandma asked Qing Cang and Mo Qiu to sit at home, saying that it was only necessary to let the coachman Brother Zhang take star fruit to the town, Qing Cang thought about it, and agreed, because there were only old people and children in her house, grandma went to call Uncle Lu and Uncle Liu to accompany the guests, Aunt Lu and Aunt Liu heard that grandma's family invited guests to dinner, and they also came over to help choose vegetables.
The vegetables are all in their own vegetable garden, and some of them are dried vegetables, but there is no need to buy them, and they only bought some lean meat, asked for some pigs to go into the water, and bought two fresh carp.
Forget about the rest, it's just that the eldest brother Zhang's face darkened when he asked the meat seller to ask the meat seller to go into the water, shouldn't this girl use this stinky thing to invite their master to eat!
Star fruit didn't ignore Brother Zhang's disgusted face, smiled proudly, and didn't say much.
When passing by the creek, the star fruit quickly cleaned up the pig, found a stone to shoot the fish to death, found a thin stone chip, scraped the scales of the fish and disemboweled, just waited to take it home, and washed it with water again, and it was ready to use.
When he got home, Qing Cang had tea with Uncle Lu and Uncle Liu in the main room, but Na Moqiu sat aside alone and refused to join everyone.
Star fruit didn't have time to slander the rules of Qingcang, so she hurriedly put on an apron made by herself and started cooking.
Aunt Lu and Aunt Liu had already washed the dishes, and they were about to say goodbye and go home, but they were stopped by their grandmother, and asked Pei Yifan to call Grandma Liu and the children of the two families, and set up two tables in the big courtyard and Pei Yifan's small courtyard, one table for women and children, and the other table for Mo Qiu and Brother Zhang, Pei Yifan and Lu Dahei.
Carambola thought that grandma came out of the palace, of course she understood the reason why the family did not sit at the same table with the master, but she didn't think there was anything, but she just thought that this Qingcang was too good at putting on a score, and she came to eat in their small village, and she was so clear.
Star fruit made a total of eight dishes, celery, red oil belly shreds, dried beans shredded fried meat, fat sausages, sharp pepper lung slices, eggplant dried roasted pork, steamed fish head, and the fish skin was blanched in the water, together with the fish, some shredded potatoes were added, more vinegar was added, and a sashimi was saladed. This thing is said to be unscientific, but if you eat it occasionally, you won't be able to die.
Zuihou peeled the old cucumber and cut it into thin, transparent cucumber slices to make a pure cucumber soup with a little coriander leaves floating on it, which was very light.
This kind of dish, between hospitality and homely cooking, is very suitable for acquaintances like Qing Cang.
Because there are only two fish heads at the three tables, the star fruit made a fried egg for the table where she eats, which is the most convenient.
That Qingcang and Uncle Lu Boliu had eaten enough tea, and they actually ran out to see how star fruit cooked, and they looked at it with relish.
Carambola belly, knowing that this Qing Cang must have bad intentions, it is estimated that if there is a dish that she did not make herself, then Qing Cang has the ability to let her treat again, so she will not do that kind of loss-making business, since she said that she would cook for him to eat, she will do it herself.
A meal can be regarded as a joy for the guests and hosts, and by the time everyone has finished eating, it is already afternoon.
Pei Yifan and Lu Dahei left after eating, and Aunt Liu also left with a few little girls and a little third child. Only Aunt Lu was left to help clean up and wash the dishes. Uncle Lu and Uncle Liu still talked to Qing Cang.
Carambola was so tired that Qing Cang couldn't wait to leave immediately and leave quickly with his two subordinates.
But that Qingcang deliberately went against her, and began to eat tea with Uncle Lu and Uncle Liu again, and Carambola had no choice but to walk into the house by herself, glanced at Qingcang with infinite grievances, and walked out again.
Qing Cang was very smart, and after chatting with Uncle Lu Boliu for a few words, he came out and walked in front of the star fruit.
"Momoko, what's wrong?"
"Brother Qingcang, you are very leisurely and elegant, but Uncle Lu and Uncle Liu still have work to do, besides, I am also sleepy, you can see if you can ......" Carambola said in a small voice.
A smile flashed in Qing Cang's eyes, and he also lowered his voice and leaned in front of the star fruit.
"Little girl, is there anything like you? He drove the guests away. ”
Star fruit rolled her eyes in her heart, but her face smiled like a flower.
"Brother Qingcang, when did I treat you as a guest?"
Qingcang's eyes flashed, and the smile in his eyes deepened. (To be continued......)
