Chapter 087: Boiling a Bowl of Chicken Soup

Thinking about his wife's body, Qin Baichuan didn't sleep well this night, and he didn't feel any sleepiness at about two o'clock in the morning. Getting up from the bed, finding a random piece of clothing to put on, he went downstairs lightly and touched the stove in the attic.

He lit an oil lamp with flint, and with the bright light, Qin Baichuan clearly saw a fat and tender big white chicken lying there naked on the side of the stove. He threw the chopped firewood into the pit and poured some oil on it, and soon a fire burned in the pit.

Pouring a little water into the pot, Qin Baichuan picked up the kitchen knife, cut the pheasant into pieces with a little jerky, and threw it into the pot to blanch it first. When Qin Baichuan was studying in Shanghai and Tianjin, his classmates came from all over the world, and there was a classmate from Guangdong who opened a restaurant at home, and he was particularly good at making soup.

Not long after, blood foamed in the pot, Qin Baichuan took out the chicken and washed it with water repeatedly, replaced the dirty water in the pot, re-added water, and threw it into it with the chicken. After looking around the kitchen, Qin Baichuan cut a slice of ginger, put in a little wolfberry, and then covered the pot, first burned it with a fierce fire for half an hour, and then turned to low heat to boil it slowly.

Boiling chicken soup is such a thing, you can't put too many seasonings, and you can't rush it, and you can only be able to boil out the original soup. Looking at the flames dancing in the stove pit, Qin Baichuan couldn't help but sigh. In this life, he has boiled chicken soup for two women, one is his modern ex-girlfriend, and the other is Qu Xi.

"Ah, it smells so good!" Qin Baichuan was distracted, and Aunt Hu, who got up early, also came to the stove room, took a deep breath, and Aunt Hu nodded again and again: "I can't see that Xianggong will be so versatile!" ”

"It's just a soup, nothing." Qin Baichuan threw two sticks of firewood into it and said, "Aunt Hu, did Qu Xi take medicine last night?" ”

"Well, I've already eaten it." Aunt Hu's eyes were full of doting, and she said with a smile: "Miss has been reluctant to take medicine since she was a child, and yesterday the old woman even coerced her to drink half a bowl." Hey, this girl just makes people feel uneasy. ”

"yes, it's just uncomfortable." Aunt Hu was decocting medicine for Qu Xi on the other side, and Qin Baichuan asked with a match: "Aunt Hu, I have heard you say a few times, saying that the internal struggle of the Qu family is very strict. Besides the fourth uncle, who else is against Qu Xi? Besides, after being in Fairview Villa for so long, I don't seem to have found the rest of the Qu family, where are they usually? ”

Aunt Hu was silent for a long time, gritted her teeth and said, "Miss has told me thousands of instructions, saying that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized...... Forget it, Xianggong is not an outsider, even if the old woman is talkative. ”

"You should also know a little bit about Miss's background...... Her mother's background was not honorable, and the Qu family did not allow her to enter the door. At first, the lord liked her very much, so he spent a lot of money to buy this attic. The lord once ordered that this property belongs only to the young lady and his mother, and no one is allowed to touch it. Really speaking...... Wanhua Xiaozhu is just a courtyard of the Qu family, but the old house is in the south of the city. ”

"Splendid Villa is the foundation laid by the lord back then, and later the expansion of the villa requires a large amount of silver, so the lord will unite the brothers and sisters of the family to raise funds, and the Splendid Villa has its current scale. At that time, if the Splendid Villa was divided into ten percent, the lord alone accounted for seventy percent, so the master was in charge of all things. ”

"Qu Xi's father is very business-talented." Qin Baichuan nodded, at this time, he thought of the means of raising funds, buying shares, and firmly controlling the big shares, this old man who couldn't meet was also powerful. However, then again, it may also be his helplessness.

"If the master doesn't have this ability, how can the young lady have so many means?" Aunt Hu sat opposite Qin Baichuan and continued: "The master made a lot of rules at that time, I don't remember clearly, probably one is that the patriarch of the Qu family must meet two conditions in the future, one is to occupy at least fifty percent of the right to speak, and the other is to lead the villa to make a profit year after year. ”

"How can there be a business in the world that only makes money and does not lose money?" Qin Baichuan sighed.

"I was really guessed right." Aunt Hu's smile was bitter: "How old was the young lady when the old man passed away, and she couldn't support the Splendid Villa." According to the master's will, the Splendid Villa will be taken care of by the young lady's third uncle first, and will be returned to the young lady when she is sixteen years old. ”

"Although the third uncle is honest, he doesn't know much about these things in the shopping mall, coupled with the secret sabotage of the fourth master, and the clever robbery, in a few years, the original seventy percent of the young lady's right to speak was only fifty percent, and the young lady was just nine years old at that time." Aunt Hu's voice trembled: "Don't look at Miss's age, when I told her to make it clear about the stakes, Miss thought about it for two days and two nights, and finally decided to take over Fairview Villa." ”

"Was she really only nine years old at the time?" Qin Baichuan grinned, Da Song's children are all precocious, but they are not precocious enough to be so precocious.

"Just turned nine years old." Aunt Hu said affirmatively: "We were all surprised, but Miss took out the rules set by the master before his death, and no one could say that she was wrong." The fourth old man had a ghost in his heart, thinking that the nine-year-old child would not be able to succeed, and if he could not lead the villa to make a profit, then he would have to oust her from the stage and take up the role himself. ”

Speaking of this, Aunt Hu's eyes were a little red: "Who would have thought that when Miss took office, the first thing she did was to drive all the people of the Qu family out of the villa and recruit a new group of people." The Qu family made a lot of trouble because of this, but your Hu Bo, who was old and immortal, was in the prime of life, and he beat back all the troublemakers. ”

Speaking of the dead old ghost, Aunt Hu had a proud glint on her face, but then it dimmed: "Seeing that the villa has revealed a new atmosphere, the fourth master has a vicious mind again, and when the young lady rushed to discuss business, he bought the coachman and threw the young lady in the barren mountains and mountains...... I don't know where the young lady got the courage, she walked for three days and three nights, and when she found her, she was almost starving to death! ”

"And that's not all!" Aunt Hu wiped her tears: "It snowed heavily that winter, and the young lady couldn't go to the family sacrifice in time because of the wind and cold...... When she came back, she fell unconscious and almost died! ”

"Aunt Hu, don't say it." Qin Baichuan clenched his fists tightly, his nails were already embedded in the flesh, but he didn't feel any pain: "In other words, Quxi still has fifty percent of the shares?" Oh, that's what you said about fifty percent of the right to speak, right? ”

"Hmm." Aunt Hu wiped the corners of her eyes, nodded first, and then shook her head and said: "Now that I say it, Miss is indeed still in charge of the Qu family, but the four old men are openly and secretly united with many side branches of the Qu family, and at least they have more than forty percent of the right to speak." Moreover, in the past two years, the development of the villa has fallen into a bottleneck, and a large part of the income depends on Xiao Yu......"

Seeing that Qin Baichuan's face changed, Aunt Hu did not continue.

"Alright, I know the rest." Qin Baichuan sneered: "In the final analysis, the fourth master is only uniting with other side branches to be so arrogant, right?" At that time, as long as those side branches are brought over, won't Qu Xi be able to firmly gain a firm foothold? ”

"That's what you say, but how easy is that?" After all, Aunt Hu is just a woman, and there is no way to share it for Qu Xi.

"There is no easy thing in the world." Qin Baichuan snorted: "Aunt Hu, don't worry, the sky can't fall, and Quxi can't fall." ”

Aunt Hu's eyes lit up, but Qin Baichuan didn't say anything more, she used a spoon to float away the oil foam in the chicken soup, filled a big bowl, added a little salt, and walked upstairs cautiously.

"Knock knock."

Coming to Quxi's door, Qin Baichuan knocked lightly on the door.

"Po Hu, it's been this hour, why don't you wake me up!" Qu Xi's voice was a little hoarse and a little angry in the room, and then the sound of hurried footsteps moved, and the door was opened with a hula, and Qu Xi, who was about to walk out, almost collided with Qin Baichuan.

Qu Xi seemed to have just woken up, his long hair was scattered, and his lazy little face was tired, because his body was too weak, and his bright red lips were slightly cracked, but they were already a little bloody. She was wearing only a white cloak, with no cover on her chest, and two soft plumps stood tall and seemed to set off her pride.

"What are you doing here?" After seeing Qin Baichuan, a panic flashed on Qu Xi's little face, and he subconsciously tightened his clothes, and hummed: "Go and ask Granny Hu to bring me clean clothes, I want to go to the villa!" ”

It's only been one night's work, and the baby wife has recovered the attitude of a strong woman who is high and commanding, and Qin Baichuan must have rolled his eyes before, and he didn't bother to pay attention to her at all. But today, Qin Baichuan just smiled indifferently: "It's no problem to change clothes, drink the chicken soup first." Also, I have something to tell you. ”

"You can come with me to the villa, what is there to talk about on the way!" Qu Xi was a little uncomfortable with Qin Baichuan's attitude, and snorted coldly.

"I remember when you were in Splendid Villa, you said that we are in a relationship between superiors and subordinates when we leave Wanhua Xiaozhu, but here, we are husband and wife." Qin Baichuan seemed to have a nail under his feet, and he didn't move half a step at all: "I'm talking to you as your father-in-law, if you dare not listen, don't think of going out of this door today." ”

"Qin Baichuan...... You're too much! "Qin Baichuan is a little abnormal today, and for a while, Qu Xi didn't know how to deal with it.

"Oh miss, what are you throwing tantrums in the morning?" Aunt Hu walked up quickly from downstairs with a medicine bowl, and there was no complaint in her voice: "Look at you, in order to replenish your body, Qin Xianggong got up to boil chicken soup for you on the second watch, and the smell even drooled when the old woman smelled it, you can't live up to Xianggong's heart!" ”

"This chicken soup ......" Qu Xi looked up and saw Qin Baichuan's bloodshot eyes, and stared at the chicken soup in his hand in a daze: "Did you boil it?" ”

"A taste of my craft?" Qin Baichuan raised his hand and said with a smile.
