Before going to bed at night, Qingyang and Luo Xiaorong couldn't help but run to Zhou Boyan and show off the gifts. Zhou Boyan didn't understand much at first, and he didn't figure out what kind of gift it was. However, when Qingyang embarrassedly took out the real thing to show him, he almost choked to death with his own saliva.

This night, Zhou Boyan didn't feel sleepy, he felt something choked in his throat, he couldn't spit it out, he couldn't swallow it, and it was difficult to bear the dawn. On the other hand, the parties Qingshu, Qingyang and Luo Xiaorong slept peacefully until dawn, and they were in a particularly good mood.

Because it was Luo Xiaorong's birthday, the longevity noodles prepared for Luo Xiaorong for breakfast, Qingshu and the others also ate noodles. Before Bu Wu left last night, he said that he would come over at noon to eat Luo Xiaorong's birthday banquet. Qing Shu pondered that this had to be well prepared, so he instructed the kitchen to prepare one mat of twelve plates and two mats of eight trays at noon. The twelve plates of the table were used to entertain the fifth step; One of the two seats in the eight plates is for the maids and mother-in-law who are serving Luo Xiaorong, and the other is for the guards around Zhou Boyan. There is a rule for the daily meals on the Gu Ye clan's side, and Qing Shu did not make any special arrangements.

When the kitchen was busy, Qing Shu was not idle, she locked herself in the small kitchen and made a fuss.

The table in front has been set up, and Step 5 has arrived, just waiting for her alone. Ding Jiamei came to urge, and Qingshu, who was busy and sweating, asked Ding Jiamei to go back and tell the people in front of her to eat first, so she didn't have to wait for her.

But in a quarter of an hour, Qing Shu changed his clothes and went to the front. Behind her, followed by the small fish carrying the food basket. Unexpectedly, everyone didn't move their chopsticks and was waiting for her.

Qing Shu confessed, took out a plate of things from the food basket and put it in front of Luo Xiaorong, followed by a palm-sized white porcelain jar.

In the white porcelain plate are two round little fat pigs. A little pig is white, and the shape of the ears, nose and tail is very cute. A little pig's round body is green, with a short tail cocked, two ears one is green, the other is half green and half white, and this half-green and half-white ear has a small red flower pinned to the back of the head, and a big red petal is stuck to the nose, how strange and weird.

Luo Xiaorong and Qingyang's eyes were straight.

Qing Shu couldn't help but smile, and took out a plate from the food basket and put it in front of Luo Xiaorong. On the plate is a round cake about the thickness of an adult's palm, and the middle of the cake is dug out in the shape of a peach and filled with red jam. And around this peach-shaped shape filled with red jam are four small pigs and a big yellow cow with different shapes.

Not only Luo Xiaorong and Qingyang looked straight, but Xiaomei and Ding Jiamei, who were waiting for the left and right, were stunned. Only Xiaoyu was calmer, because she had already seen it before, and now she got used to it.

Qingshu sat on the seat, "Little birthday star, do you like it?" ”

Luo Xiaorong raised a bright smile, "I like it, thank you, sister." ”

Qingyang was a little jealous in his heart, pointed to a group of little fat pigs and asked, "Sister, is this a little pig?" "Last year, when he had his birthday, his sister didn't do anything for him. Of course, he is also a little jealous, because when he first arrived here last year, his sister was very busy and tired, and she didn't have time to do this. Besides, my sister said that she would cook him a lot of delicious food when it was his birthday this year.

Qing Shu smiled, "Yes, Xiao Rong didn't like to see the little pig very much when he went to Zhuangzi last time, so my sister made a little pig for him." What does this big scalper look like? Xiao Rong's zodiac is a cow, so he specially made a cow for Xiao Shouxing. ”

Luo Xiaorong and Qingyang both said yes.

Qingshu beckoned everyone to hurry up and eat. There was only Bu Wu drinking alone at a table, and Qing Shu was not worried that he would be bored drinking, because there was an injured person who could not drink Zhou Boyan from the side. Luo Xiaorong and Qingyang only cared about studying the pigs and the big cows, and their minds were not on eating at all.

Qing Shu teased them, "Sister is hungry for that little pig, give my sister one to eat!" ”

Luo Xiaorong and Qingyang didn't say anything with a tangled face, neither saying nor giving.

Qing Shu felt funny when she saw it, "Okay, don't be reluctant, my sister won't rob it." You eat a little pig first, and then hurry up to eat, and let the maid put away the rest for you. As she spoke, she gently pinched the little pig on the cake with chopsticks, gave one to Luo Xiaorong and one to Qingyang, and then instructed Xiaomei, who was waiting on the side, "Take it back in the food basket, and give it to them when the young masters take a nap." ”

Mei promised to take her things away. Luo Xiaorong and Qingyang were reluctant, but Qingshu spoke, so he didn't put forward any opinions.

Qing Shu saw that they didn't eat the little pig on the plate, and persuaded: "Sister is just making it for you to eat, taste it quickly, and then tell Sister Sù if it's delicious." ”

Seeing that they were still entangled, Qing Shu said again, "My sister has something in the belly of the little pig, and if you want to know, eat it quickly." ”

Luo Xiaorong carefully bit the back of the little pig, and his eyes lit up, "There is bean paste." ”

Qingyang bit off the piglet's head and reported, "Sweet and sour." ”

Seeing that they like it, Qing Shu smiled and ate the vegetables by himself. Qingshu is really hungry, so he doesn't care whether the person at the table is a noble son or not, and he won't treat his stomach badly, he eats as he usually does, and he has to eat full. Sauce-flavored pork ribs is a meat dish she particularly likes, but in front of Bu Wu, she can't stand up and stretch out her chopsticks, so she eats dishes within the range of her chopsticks while taking care of her two younger brothers.

Suddenly, a piece of pork ribs fell from the side to the small plate in front of her, and she looked up when she was eating the fried tenderloin, only to see Zhou Boyan retracting the chopsticks.

She was stunned for a moment, and took this piece of ribs and handed it to Qingyang. But soon, another piece of ribs came to her plate. She twitched the corner of her mouth, this time she picked it up and handed it to Luo Xiaorong, and when the chopsticks were withdrawn, she lowered her head, and there was actually another piece in the plate. She raised her head and was about to give Zhou Boyan a roll of her eyes, but she didn't want to look at Bu Wu, who was smiling lightly. The white eyes she was about to send out immediately disappeared, and she smiled slightly, "Fifth brother is not polite, you have to be at home, otherwise I will write a letter to Yu Yan to complain." ”

When Bu Yuyan came some time ago, all the tricks of coercion and temptation were used, and Qing Shu had to follow her and call the seven brothers of the Bu family as brothers. Step five, naturally you have to call the fifth brother.

The smile in Bu Wu's eyes deepened, "Fifth brother will naturally not be polite." By the way, Sister Qingshu, I don't know how long this red fruit can be sold? ”

This Qingshu sister not only stunned Qingshu, but also stunned Zhou Boyan. Before this, Bu Wu called Qingshu is not Miss Gu, Miss Gu, or Miss Qingshu, and suddenly a sentence of Sister Qingshu came, so suddenly, there was no sign at all.

Step Five found the reaction of these two people amused, "Don't you like it?" So, how about calling Sister Shu? ”

Being called a sister by a handsome and noble son with a story and a hint of sadness in his tenderness, Qing Shu felt his heart skip a beat, and he was a little at a loss, "This, hehe...... Well, just call the name. "She hasn't been called sister by a man in her two lives combined, and she is not suitable for all kinds of things! Sister Qingshu and Sister Shu feel weird.

The smile deepened in Buwu's eyes, "Don't you like it?" Calling Sister Gu seems to be out of sight, and I feel that Sister Shu is better. ”

Qingshu just wanted to say whatever he called, but Zhou Boyan spoke first, "Sister Qingshu, we'll call her that in the future." ”

Qingshu is about to pinch the hand of the cool skin, what does it mean?

Step 5 suddenly became good, "Okay! "So, Sister Qingshu, I don't know how long this red fruit can be sold?"

Qingshu tried to adapt herself to the title of sister, "I can probably sell it for a month, I think it should follow the same season as green beans, cucumbers and other vegetables." ”

Step Five nodded, "That's it!" If there are other good deals, Sister Qingshu will continue to take care of the fifth brother's business. ”

Zhou Boyan took it, "This year's sauerkraut business, Sister Qingshu remembers to continue to take care of her brother's business, and my brother doesn't mind leaving a deposit." ”

Qing Shu's hand shook, his expression was a little stiff, and then he smiled perfunctorily, "Hehe...... Eat, eat, the little birthday star is sitting here, you don't say blessings, just forget it, and talk about business, be careful Xiaorong crying to you. ”

"Xiaorong doesn't cry." Luo Xiaorong, who was named, defended himself very seriously.

Qing Shu's expression stiffened again, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, Xiaorong doesn't cry, it's my sister who wants to cry to show them." ”

The people at the table were silent.

Qingshu was depressed, then buried himself in eating, deciding to ignore these people who had no sense of humor. However, from time to time, a pair of chopsticks came from the side, and dishes far away from her, such as sauce-flavored pork ribs, sauced elbows, fish from squirrel fish, roast chicken wings, etc., were sandwiched into her plate from time to time.

Qing Shu twitched the corner of her mouth, she wanted to step on someone who was doing a lot of things under the table, but found that the distance was not very good, although she stretched out her foot and could step on it, but it was not good to use her strength, it definitely didn't hurt to step on it, it was better not to step on it, so she could only give up and decided to be silent to the end. So, she hypnotized that the dishes on her plate were all picked up by herself, and continued to eat them.

At this meal, Qing Shu ate it, and after withdrawing from the table, he hurried back to make tea and drink, wondering whether to take advantage of Zhou Boyan's injury to go over and punch a few punches. If his injury was healed, she wouldn't have had a chance to punch him a few times, and she would have taken advantage of him by going over to him.

As soon as a cup of tea was drunk, Xiaojuan came to report that the five young people were leaving. Qing Shu got up hurriedly after hearing this, changed his clothes a few times, and took Xiaoyu and Xiaojuan to pick red fruits in a hurry. The original plan of Bu Wu was to set off back to Jinyang City tomorrow, and when he left, he could take a batch of red fruits with him. Now that it is suddenly advanced, Qingshu naturally wants to pick red fruits in advance. When she arrived at the vegetable bed, she asked what was going on while picking it. It turned out that Bu Wu's subordinates had just come in a hurry and whispered a few words to Bu Wu, and then Bu Wu had advanced the itinerary and was in a hurry to leave.

Qingshu was busy picking here, and Gu Qiang took two people to prepare bamboo baskets and wheat straws and send them over. Now Xiaoyu and Xiaojuan are proficient, and they brought a small basket full of red fruits, first spread a layer of wheat straw at the bottom of the bamboo basket, and then made it red for six or seven points, and put it in their hands with a very hard red fruit yard, and then spread a layer of wheat straw, and then a layer of red fruits......

The red fruit and vegetable furrows in the house went through one by one, picking one and a half bamboo baskets, but failing to fill two bamboo baskets. Gu Qiang led someone to carry the two bamboo baskets to the front, handed them to Bu Wushao, and reported the number this time. Nowadays, red fruits are not sold by the pound, but by the piece.

The price paid by Bu Wu to Qingshu was five hanging dollars for a red fruit. He transported it to Jinyang City, and the profit from selling vegetables in Yipinlou was several times greater. In addition, he sold out a certain amount of food every day, and a red fruit was sold for eight to ten taels of silver. In this regard, Qingshu is not blushing, because she is self-aware. She doesn't have the stable power of Buwu, second, she doesn't have the business acumen of Buwu, and third, she doesn't have the talent in this area. It must be difficult for you to let her set up a red fruit stall by herself, and the silver she earns back is estimated to be less than one or two percent of the money she earns back in five steps, but it still makes people blush, and if she can't keep it, it will cause some trouble.

Now that she can sit at home and collect the cashier, she is very satisfied. She only hopes that Buwu's business will get better and better, so that she can earn some small profits and save money. Besides, Bu Wu will not treat her badly, don't look at the five dollars paid by one now, but Bu Wu promised her herself, saying that she would cage the account of the red fruit once a month and give her a part of the profits. She shirked it, and Bu Wu said that this must be given, which is the sincerity of his long-term cooperation.

Step 5 The car was loaded, and just as she was about to leave, Xiaojuan hurriedly ran over, "Wait a minute, Master Bu, please wait a minute, Miss still has something to deliver." ”

Step 5 took someone to stop and wait.

Xiaojuan had just gasped for breath, and Ding Jiabao came over with a bamboo basket on his back, "Young Master Bu, this is the red fruit that Miss gave you." Miss said, although the quality is not very good, but it does not affect the cooking and selling. The top one is fully cooked, and Young Master Bu can take someone to eat on the road. The following ones are all cooked for eight or nine minutes, and it is estimated that there is no problem in the place, and they can be sold first. ”

Bu Wu didn't shirk either, "Then thank you Sister Qingshu." "Come on, load the car."

The people in step five were overjoyed when they heard that they could eat red fruits on the road, so they quickly took the bamboo basket on Ding Jiabao's back and carefully loaded it into the car and tied it up.

Bu Wu waved his hand at Zhou Boyan, and the group set off.

Seeing them walk away, Zhou Boyan asked, "Where is your young lady now?" ”

Xiao Juan, who was about to go back to her life, stopped and replied, "In the small vegetable garden." ”

Zhou Boyan bowed his head, "Lead the way." "It means he's going to pass.

Xiaojuan looked at the housekeeper on the side, and when she saw that the housekeeper nodded, she led the way for Zhou Boyan.

Qing Shu was wearing cloth clothes and a straw hat on his head, and was squatting on the edge of the vegetable furrow, looking down from time to time to see if there were any red fruits hidden under the seedlings that were difficult to find. Hearing footsteps behind her, she didn't look back, and asked casually, "Step five is gone?" ”

"Yes, miss, the slave maid watched Young Master Bu walk away. Miss, the boy is here. Xiaojuan said.

Qing Shu thought that this was coming, but she was on the way over, and she was still some distance away from her. She said angrily: "What is he doing in the inner courtyard?" Go and stop him, and let him go out quickly, and don't let him come. ”

Xiao Juan glanced at Zhou Boyan's face and said hurriedly: "Miss, Yan Gongzi has already come." ”

"Brother has already come, Sister Qingshu." Zhou Boyan stood not far behind Qing Shu, and the timing of his speech was only three or four words slower than Xiao Juan. And the four words of brother and sister were read by him unhurriedly, and there was a bit of laughter in the tone of the words.

Hearing the voice behind him, Qing Shu was startled, but he still squatted on the ground and didn't get up, but said angrily, "Who is your sister, don't mess with relatives." At that time, Buwu was at a loss and unaccustomed to calling her sister, and at this time, she was called sister by Zhou Boyan, she was uncomfortable, and her scalp was tight.

In response to her dissatisfied tone, Zhou Boyan didn't care at all, and walked to her side, "Can your red fruit be transported to the capital?" ”

Qingshu was about to stand up, but Zhou Boyan stretched out his hand to pull her. She snorted, turned around and stood up from the ground, and walked a few steps to the side, "If it can be shipped to the capital to sell, Fifth Brother Bu has already made this deal, and it will be your turn to worry!" ”

"I didn't say I was going to ship it to sell, I just asked if you could ship it." As long as one of the twenty red fruits could reach the capital intact, he was satisfied.

"Why are you asking this?"

"Sister, don't be like a hedgehog all day long, the girl's family is so unpleasant."

Qingshu grinded his teeth, "Don't call me sister, goosebumps are up, do you know?" ”

"Sister...... "Zhou Boyan's sister shouted again, in exchange for an unkind kick from Qingshu. He looked down at the soles of the women's shoes on the corners of his robes and sighed, "When will you get rid of this tooth and claw problem?" ”

Xiaojuan stood aside at a loss, and Gu Shishi walked over and motioned for her to go farther. Xiao Juan glared at Gu Shi and stood still. Gu Shishi muttered, "Why are you so eyeless", pulled Xiaojuan's sleeve and stepped back.

Xiao Juan glared at Gu Shi again, but she didn't insist anymore, she hesitated to step back, then shook off Gu Shishi, and chose a place that was neither near nor far away to stand still.

At this time, Qing Shu was throwing Zhou Boyan with the straw hat on his head. The straw hat hit Zhou Boyan's chest and slid to the ground. Zhou Boyan covered the wound on his chest, with a painful expression.

Qing Shu was frightened, a little blind, and held him up and asked urgently, "Are you okay?" ”

Zhou Boyan whispered with a forbearance on his face, "It's okay, I don't blame you, the pain will pass after a while." The implication was that Qing Shu did hit his wound, and he was in pain.

Qing Shu didn't doubt him, and he kept holding his arm and didn't let go, looking very eager, "Then, do you want to go back and lie down?" Do you want to invite Dr. Zhou? At this time, she didn't see that Xiao Juan, who was about to step forward, was being pulled back by Gu Shishi.

Zhou Boyan leaned on Qingshu quietly, "Don't bother Dr. Zhou, I'll find a place to sit down and rest for a while." ”

This small vegetable garden is very close to Qingshu's yard, and if you are looking for a place to sit nearby, the first choice is there. However, Qing Shu thought of a better place, the small pavilion between her courtyard and the Wenlan Courtyard of the Gu Ye Clan. So she helped Zhou Boyan out of the small vegetable garden and walked in the direction of the small pavilion. She thought of Xiaojuan and shouted.

Xiaojuan wanted to come over, but was pulled by Gu Shishi. She was about to shake off Gu Shi's hand and answered loudly.

Qingshu helped Zhou Boyan to leave, and when he heard Xiaojuan agree, he didn't look back, but just told Xiaojuan to send fruit and tea to the small pavilion.

Zhou Boyan stroked the wound on his chest while half-leaning on Qing Shu and followed Qing Shu. He lowered his head and saw that Qing Shu was just staring at his feet seriously, not looking elsewhere, so he looked at her focused face, curved eyebrows, and long, curled eyelashes. When Qing Shu's head moved, as if he was about to raise his head, he quickly moved his eyes away again, pretending to look ahead.
