Chapter 7: Qin Gao's Wish
There was a "sparse" sound of eating on the table, except for Li Ying (who didn't have a surname when he picked it up, and later followed the surname of the Li family) who looked delicate, everyone else looked like a starving ghost reincarnated.
The mixed noodles mixed with white flour and miscellaneous grains, the batter made of batter, the vegetable soup made of boiled lard and cabbage, and a large piece of white cut meat of about one or two per person, make everyone have a great appetite.
Qin Gao's big bowl was emptied first, and he was happily about to add another bowl, but Tang Dong, who was in a hurry, desperately stuffed it into his mouth, and his mouth was full of soup. Qin Bai was immediately happy: "Ha! Still want to rob your stupid brother? As he spoke, he put the remaining half of the white cut meat into Tang Dong's bowl.
"Thank you, Second Brother Bai." After thanking him, Tang Dong looked angry, "Every time, the third brother eats first, and he doesn't wait for me." ”
"It's all available today, to ensure that you Dongzi can eat enough." Li Ying smiled and took a piece of white cloth that was used as a towel and wiped Tang Dong's face.
Qin Bai joked: "Isn't it just meat?" I didn't see you like this when I ate fish and shrimp. ”
"Fish and shrimp are unpalatable. I just like meat. ”
"So you're getting dumber."
"I'm smart. Oh! Seeing Qin Gao's full bowl taken out of the kitchen, Tang Dong immediately regretted it, and hurriedly picked up his bowl and rushed to the kitchen, "I almost forgot!" ”
There was a burst of laughter in the room. In this era, there is no pollution, there are a lot of wild fish and shrimp in the river, Qin Bai often touches some back, but others don't like to eat it. No oil, no seasoning and even salt are very expensive, fish and shrimp have no taste in the mouth at all, don't look at the wild pure natural green food, Qin Bai didn't expect that the raw seafood would be so unpalatable. In the end, it became Qin Bai forcing others to eat, at least he could supplement some protein.
However, not long after eating the second bowl, I heard Tang Dong's mother shouting outside: "Dongzi, where did you die?" Come back! Help feed the old man's horses. ”
"Here we go!" Tang Dong desperately stuffed his mouth to the brim, and then reluctantly put down the bowl. Then he was still reluctant, and poured a large mouthful of noodle soup, and then rushed out of the house like a gust of wind.
In the midst of laughter, Qin Bai casually asked, "Master You?" A guest of the inn? ”
Li Dang raised his head and replied, "It's the wandering doctor in the city." Today, he came back late from his outing, and he didn't catch up with the city gate, so he stayed at the inn for one night. ”
"Oh." Qin Bai nodded. As long as you are a native of Laizhou, you basically know this wandering doctor, of course, the medical skills are very good, and the ancestral family of Taiyi will not know why they will live in this Laizhou City. In addition, the reputation of this doctor is not very good, the consultation fee is extremely high, and he is never accommodating, he doesn't see the money, he will really stand by and watch.
However, other people's affairs are at most gossip, Qin Bai put down the bowl and told Qiu Bo about what happened today. Li Dang was suddenly a little nervous: "Second Brother Bai, is our business known?" ”
Qin Bai sneered: "Hmph, it's nothing more than trying to knock and knock us." I can't think of it with the pig brain of the enemy master. But we have to be more careful, let's stop selling albums these days. ”
"Stopped?" Li Dang's expression was struggling, and he was very reluctant in his heart.
Qin Bai smiled: "It's just a temporary stop, it's not that you don't do it." I have already inquired, and in two months it will be the day of the Xiucai exam, and there will be more students in the city at that time, and they will have more money. We sell exclusively to those who are foreigners, which is safe and unobtrusive. If you're lucky, you can earn a hundred taels of silver at once. When the time comes, I will buy you and Yingzi a few acres of land, and Gaozi and I can go to the capital with peace of mind. ”
After crossing over, Qin Bai didn't think about any long-term goals in life, but he especially cherished the brotherhood between him and Qin Gao. In fact, there are times when Qin Bai is quite satisfied with his current life, his parents died in his previous life, and he was alone, so he didn't mention the two big brothers who disappeared without a trace in this life, at least there was Qin Gao, a sibling brother. As for the hard days? Didn't he live a hard life as a child in his previous life?
However, the third brother Qin Gao has always had a wish, thinking of looking for the eldest brother Qin Tai in the capital, and wants the three brothers to reunite. Speaking from the heart, Qin Bai was very unimpressed, back then, Mrs. Qin obviously abandoned their brothers, and it was already good not to resign, did he still want to find a hug and cry? Only Qin Gao, who is mentally handicapped, will always have such fantasies, right?
However, since he didn't have any other goals in life, in the end, Qin Bai had no choice but to agree. Why don't you just go to the capital once? And the sea of people is vast, there are no clues, and the hope of finding it is particularly slim, so what can you do if you go once?
So Qin Bai made a plan, drew up a budget of fifty taels, and when the time came, he would give gifts and guide the road, plus the expenses along the way and the living expenses in the capital, whether he could find it or not, he would look for it in the capital for two months. No matter what the result is, it is also the fulfillment of the wish of the third brother Qin Gao.
As for the other fifty taels, Qin Bai was ready to leave it to the young couple of Li Kang and Yingzi. After all, with Aunt Li's kindness and many years of brotherhood, I can buy a few acres of land and give them a living guarantee in the future.
After a long journey, you can't prevent accidents at all. There are too many variables in the future, and even after arriving in the capital, will the Qin Bai brothers stay in the capital for a long time? Or go back to your hometown in Jiangnan? Or simply return to this Laizhou city? It's impossible to predict at all right now.
But after hearing this, Li Dang and Yingzi glanced at each other, and it seemed that the two of them had also made a decision: "Second Brother Bai, we brothers grew up together, and your business is my business." Go to the capital together? ”
Qin Bai thought about it for a while, and felt that it was not impossible, so he smiled and said: "Let's go together, maybe there are many people in the capital who like this album, and we can make a fortune." But I may have to send my mother's bones to Jiangnan, so that she can return to her roots, maybe it will take a year on the road? Anyway, if we really get rich, then buy a few more acres of land, and then we can also be landlords. ”
"Hey!" Li Dang didn't care at all, "Even if you stay in Jiangnan, you can do it." I have long wanted to see the capital, which is where the emperor lives. Jiangnan is even better, I heard that the scenery there is quite beautiful. Anyway, Yingzi and I are not locals in Laizhou, where you live, we will live with you. I heard my mother say that my father is good at farming. Second Brother Bai, when the time comes, I will hand over the land to me and Yingzi, and ensure that you will clean it up. ”
"Haha, I said dare, have you ever touched a hoe? Can farming still be inherited? ”
"What? Second Brother Bai, the one you are talking about...... What's the biography? What does it mean? ”
"Hehehehe, the second brother said those words that he didn't understand again. Hee-hee......"
“……”
Just as he was joking, suddenly, Qin Gao put down his big bowl and asked seriously, "Second brother, are you going to find the eldest brother?" ”
"Huh." Qin Bai scolded with a smile, "Find a fart!" It's up to you. ”
"Uh-huh." Qin lowered his head and pulled a few more mouthfuls of batter, "Happy!" I'm happy! I miss Big Brother. ”
“…… You fool! ”
From beginning to end, Qin Bai and the others didn't talk about Niu Sanye's recruitment of people to Jingjiazhuang. It wasn't possible, and they decided to leave after a while, so there was no need to waste words at all......
