Chapter 9: Ingenuity is a know-it-all

Qing'er is very happy today, or since Brother Hong's illness has recovered, she is very happy.

It turns out that Brother Hong only knows how to read every day, and he speaks carefully and slowly, although the little girl also respects her brother, but she always feels a little less close.

After recovering from his illness, Brother Hong suddenly seemed to be a different person, and he was still as filial to his mother as before, but he was a little different to himself, and he often said something that made people blush. It's just that... The little girl weighed it in her mind, and didn't know whether it was better or worse.

But today, Brother Hong is really courageous, and he beat that villain away in a few clicks, although Qing'er doesn't know how bad Chen Dianshi is, but the neighbors are very scared! Thinking that Brother Hong beat that villain in order to protect himself, the little girl's face began to heat up.

Also, the box with the villain is very good-looking, and it can play music, but it's a pity that it was given to the emperor, and Qing'er also wants one, thinking of that box, the little girl is quite regretful.

"But in the end, yes or no? Mother said, this is a bad thing, you can't let Brother Hong do it, but what Brother Hong said makes sense, what should I do? Xie Hong's sudden request made the little girl begin to be entangled, and Qing'er twisted the corners of her clothes with her fingers uneasily.

There is a door! Seeing the little girl's expression, Xie Hong didn't know that Qing'er had been shaken, so he hurriedly added his strength and said, "Look at these ingredients, Qing'er hasn't made them before, right?" ”

Glancing at the pile of fish and meat over there, Qing'er nodded, even if the family used to buy meat, they also bought some fatty meat, boiled into oil to make vegetables, and today Xie Hong bought these things, she has never seen much, let alone cooking.

"But, my mother said......"

"I'm not cooking, I'm cooking to teach you, otherwise how would you be able to cook these things? My brother's cooking is delicious. ”

The master of handicrafts seems to be very powerful, but in fact, it is nothing at all in the later generations, except for those masters who are sought after, otherwise ordinary practitioners can just make ends meet. In that impetuous era, how many people will calm down and appreciate the wonder of handicraft?

Xie Hong was not sought after in his previous life, and the otaku of the craftsman is a surname, so he is also a bachelor, and he usually cooks by himself, because of his skill, his cooking skills are also quite good. Before, it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, there were no materials, no matter how good his cooking skills were, he couldn't show it, and the gentleman was far away from cooking, and Mother Xie didn't let him cook.

After buying so many good things today, Xie Hong felt that it was better to do it herself to satisfy her hunger, although Qing'er was diligent, but these things that she had never touched before, what level could she make? Xie Hong felt a little hanging.

Under Xie Hong's multiple temptations, the little girl thought about it and agreed, after all, it was also one of her dreams to make a good dish. "Brother Hong is so skillful, maybe he is also very good at cooking, right?" The little girl comforted herself like this and gave up her territory.

Brother Hong's hands are more clever than before! After a while, Qing'er made a new discovery, and her big eyes were wide open, looking at the dexterous flying hands. Brother Hong's fingers are slender and flexible, and a kitchen knife seems to have become some kind of musical instrument in his hand, and as the music plays, he organizes all kinds of food ingredients neatly.

Just out of the pot is the piece of meat, in the brine is shredded meat, and what is being cut is diced meat, Xie Hong seems to have turned into three heads and six arms, his hands are flying, beating like a butterfly wearing flowers.

"Brother Hong is amazing!" Qing'er exclaimed, she originally knew that Xie Hong was skillful, and it was only after studying that she didn't do those handicrafts. A few days ago, Xie Hong suddenly made a musical instrument that could be played by herself without a control, which already made her incredible, and today's cooking skills made the little girl feel even more magical.

"Brother Hong is really the best, Brother Hong, how did you do it? You must teach it to Qing'er, and Qing'er will make it for you and your mother in the future. ”

After cutting the diced meat, Xie Hong took out his hand, touched the little girl's double bun, and promised with a smile: "Don't worry, Qing'er, my brother will teach you in the future." ”

Qing'er pursed her lips and said, "Brother Hong is really, everyone has grown up, and he still treats people as children." ”

Seeing the little girl's puffing appearance, Xie Hongle was happy, isn't thirteen years old a child? In my previous life, children of this age were still in junior high school. After that, he was a little distressed, after he crossed over, Qing'er cooked and sewed every day, and also helped outsiders wash clothes, just to say that the work was no less than that of adults.

In the future, if anyone has such a lovely daughter, how can they be willing to let them work, and it is too late to be spoiled as a princess. Xie Hong secretly made up his mind that he must work hard to make the people around him live a good life.

"Brother Hong, is the dish cooked?" Seeing that the kitchen knife in Xie Hong's hand stopped, the little girl's attention turned to the pot, and Qing'er twitched her little nose, it was too fragrant.

Xie Hong took out a piece of meat from the pot and said with a smile: "Qing'er, come, open your mouth, how about tasting the braised pork I made?" ”

The little girl was a little embarrassed, but in the end she couldn't resist the rich aroma, and opened her mouth timidly.

"It's delicious!" It smells very fragrant, it tastes even better, soft, rotten, slippery, and the sweet and crispy fragrance occupies Qing'er's taste in an instant, and stars are about to pop up in the little girl's eyes, Brother Hong is really omnipotent, it's too powerful.

"Qing'er, you look at the pot, I'll send a dish to the second aunt's house." Seeing Qing'er's expression, Xie Hong was also very happy, just taking advantage of the fact that the dishes had already been done, he went to the second aunt, Xie Hong felt that it was more pleasant to share happiness.

"Okay." The little girl nodded, her eyes still fixed on the pot, it was the first time she had eaten such a delicious dish.

The two families were very close, and when Xie Hong arrived, the second aunt's family was also eating, and they were suddenly surprised to see Xie Hong sending something over.

"Brother Hong, this is ......"

"I've made a lot of dishes today, so I'll bring you some, it's braised pork." Xie Hong said with a smile.

"It's so fragrant...... the second aunt helped her son Ma Wentao in the yamen, and came up,

The second aunt had already had doubts and asked, "Brother Hong." What did you do today? Why did you suddenly buy so many things, where did you get all this money? ”

Before Xie Hong could speak, Ma Wentao said: "Mother, don't you know, didn't the county government come out to collect things a month ago?" It was said that it was auspicious, and it happened to start the expedition, but it turned out that after a few days of levy, nothing was received, and the magistrates were angry. Coincidentally, Brother Xie took a music box today, and that box is amazing! ”

Seeing that his father and sister also put down their chopsticks and listened attentively, Ma Wentao became even more energetic, and said with a gesture: "Don't you see, the carver, what is the county magistrate... What a genius! That's not even counting the fact that the box can play music by itself, that tune, tsk......"

He was eloquent, and he described the scene in Bai Yue vividly, so that his father, mother and sister were dumbfounded, "Dad, mother, do you know how much silver the rich family in the city called out to buy Brother Xie's box at that time?" Three thousand taels! Three thousand taels of silver! As a result, Brother Xie was stunned that he didn't sell it, and dedicated the things to the government, or let me say that you don't have to worry about it, the magistrate of the county has received such a big favor, can you still make Brother Xie suffer? ”

Listening to what he said, Xie Hong couldn't help but wonder, he had seen it a few times before, but he didn't expect that this Ma Wentao would have such eloquence and talent.

"Brother Hong'er is benevolent and righteous, when he is developed, he still remembers our neighborhood, the Xie family is a good person, and when he becomes an official in the future, you will also be born with him." The second aunt sighed to her son.

"That's that, mother, everyone also said that Brother Xie will be developed in the future." Ma Wentao had already turned his target to braised pork at this time, and after only tasting a piece, he almost swallowed his tongue and couldn't talk anymore.

Hearing them say this, Xie Hong felt embarrassed, and was about to say a few polite words, but the second aunt man muttered beside him.

"Benevolence and righteousness? In the past two years, our family has also helped his family a lot, he has received an unknown amount of silver, and he has not sent some over, only taking some odds and ends to deal with it. ”

The second aunt was angry, and shouted: "Do you dare to say that when the tangerine peel came during the day, it wasn't you, the dead ghost, pulling the old lady?" If Brother Hong hadn't come back, the Xie family would have suffered a big loss. ”

Her man was also not convinced, and argued: "Pulling you is for the good of our family, don't look at the Xie family's spirit at this moment, then the Chen family is not easy to mess with, this matter is not over." ”

The family suddenly quarreled, and Xie Hong hurriedly persuaded: "Second aunt, what the uncle said is also true, the Chen family is already powerful, I have already provoked him, there is no way, you have nothing to do with him, you can't get into this troubled water." "The second aunt is warm, Xie Hong is grateful, and Father Ma will not catch a cold.

Hearing him say this, the second aunt also sighed, they are all born and raised in Beizhuang County, who can not know that the Chen family is powerful, she said to her son: "Wen Tao, you are also helping in the yamen, you have to be vigilant, and also help Brother Hong to investigate." ”

"Got it, mother, don't worry." Ma Wentao couldn't stand the aroma, and was eating a mouthful of oil, and responded vaguely.
