Chapter Eighty-Eight: Pan-fried Rice Cake
"Jiuli, did something happen today?" Chi Lingmiao asked in a low voice.
Qi Jiuli went to Mushan Village, and came back to say that he wanted to return to this family affair, there must be a reason, if he didn't have the idea of getting married at the beginning, he wouldn't go to Mushan Village for a special trip.
"The girl in Mushan Village ......"
"Her family conditions are good, and her father is bent on finding a reader for his daughter, and I think it will put pressure on my brother." Qi Jiuli said, she was telling the truth, "So it's better to refuse." ”
"Uncle can also inquire about it, and then see if it is suitable."
Chi Lingmiao listened to Qi Jiuli's words and somewhat understood the meaning of her words, "I know, when your uncle comes back, I will ask him too." ”
As soon as Qi Jiuli went out of the gate, he met Qi Basong, who was about to come in, "Eighth cousin." ”
"Jiuli, is this going home?"
"Hmm." Qi Jiuli nodded.
"Seventh brother, Jiuli is here." Qi Basong rushed out a few steps and waved and shouted into the distance.
Qi Jiuli smiled, his eighth cousin is really a happy person.
Qi Qizhu stopped not far away, then walked over quickly and led Qi Jiuli back together.
"Brother, if you make something delicious at night, I'll give you fried rice cakes to eat." Qi Jiuli said with a smile.
"Okay." Qi Qizhu has some expectations, as long as it is a meal cooked by Qi Jiuli, there is nothing bad to eat.
"Brother, I'm going to Mushan Village today."
Qi Qizhu was stunned when he heard this, and then frowned, "You went alone?" ”
"Hmm." Qi Jiuli was a little weak-hearted, but Haosheng explained, "I went by donkey cart, saying that I was going to Mu Da Niang's house, and many people in the village knew about Mu Da Niang's coming to our house, and no one was surprised that I went." ”
"Then I paid attention all the way, specially wore men's clothes, and the search went very smoothly, oh, I also got a hare, and I went to the autumn restaurant tomorrow, and I sold it."
Qi Jiuli told everything he had seen and heard about his trip to Mushan Village and what he had seen in the village, of course, he skipped the matter of Muchuan Valley and Mu Yingying.
Qi Qizhu echoed a few words on the side, and then there was no more.
"Brother, why don't you ask about Mu Yingying?" Qi Jiuli couldn't help but say.
"If you think this family business is appropriate, the big list you just talked about will not be what you have seen, but what you praise each other." Qi Qizhu smiled and rubbed Qi Jiuli's head.
Qi Jiuli suddenly had a sour nose, felt sorry for Qi Qizhu, and was withdrawn from his family, and now he is looking for someone else in his heart to say that he still has someone else in his heart, what is the matter, he is also a fifteen-year-old child.
"Brother, I asked the people in the village, and Mu Yingying's family wanted to find a scholar for their daughter, I felt that this was too much pressure on my brother, so I thought about asking my aunt to help me go back to this family business." Qi Jiuli said the conclusion.
"yes, okay." Qi Qizhu smiled gently, "I'm still young, and I don't have any thoughts on family affairs now. ”
Qi Jiuli said ambiguously, and Qi Qizhu didn't ask, but he knew that there must be other reasons, his sister-in-law wouldn't talk about her relatives just because of this, but because of what, he really didn't care, his sister-in-law didn't want to say it, because she didn't want to be sad, so she didn't ask.
Qi Jiuli returned home, put the oily and shaky rice compacted in the wooden basin on the board, and then cut it into long strips with a knife, and burned the stove over low heat, Qi Jiuli put the cut strips into the pot one by one and fried them, and each side was fried until it was browned and fragrant, and then sandwiched it on the plate.
Qi Shixiang went to see the big bone broth stewed in the crockpot, as soon as the lid was opened, it was fragrant, put the cut lettuce in the crockpot and simmer for a while, and when the rice cake was fried, the big bone broth was ready to be served.
"It's better than a pot." Qi Shiyi made a remark after eating the fried rice cake, "Salty and fragrant, crispy, soft and glutinous inside, eldest sister, you are really amazing." ”
"I'll do it for you next time." Qi Jiuli laughed.
"Sister, what do you say about uncle, uncle?" Qi Shixiang asked with concern, and also peeked at Qi Qizhu.
The corners of Qi Qizhu's mouth were curled, with a soft color on his face, he leaned over and touched the top of Qi Shixiang's hair and said, "It's not suitable, now that my father's filial piety period has not passed, and I have just withdrawn from my family, I will discuss it now, it's not appropriate." ”
"Aren't you afraid of missing out on a good girl?" Qi Shixiang said seriously.
"It's destined to be our future sister-in-law, and I can't be wrong." Qi Jiuli replied with a smile, "You, don't worry about what adults should worry about at a young age." ”
"I'm not young, starting tomorrow, I will take a good look at the family and don't let my brother and sister worry." Qi Shixiang said seriously.
Qi Jiuli reached out and rubbed Qi Shixiang's cheeks, which were slightly more fleshy than before, and couldn't put it down for a while, "Oh, why are we Shixiang so cute." ”
"Eldest sister, brother, I will also take good care of the family, and I will also take good care of the second sister." Qi Shiyi said arrogantly.
"Well, you're a boy, so you can't take good care of Shixiang." Qi Jiuli echoed, "Well done, sister will come back and make something delicious for you." ”
"The two of you can't go out alone, you have to go together, you can't go to a place with few people, you can't go to the reeds, and you have to find someone to go up the mountain......" Qi Jiuli explained a lot, Qi Shixiang and Qi Shiyi listened obediently.
After dinner, Qi Jiuli took a plate of fried rice cakes, put them in a basket, and went to the next door.
"Uncle Maosheng, Aunt Tianhua." Qi Jiuli knocked on the door, and Ma Tianhua came out when he heard the voice, "Jiuli, have you had dinner?" ”
"Eat." Qi Jiuli entered the courtyard with a smile and handed over the basket, "This is a small snack I made, give Aunt Tianhua a taste for you." ”
"You eat by yourself, and your aunt's family also has dinner." Ma Tianhua refused.
"Auntie, you take it, these days, thanks to the care of you and Uncle Maosheng, there will be more places to work in the future, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, you have to trouble your aunt to take care of Shixiang and more than ten." Qi Jiuli said sincerely.
Ma Tianhua refused but accepted it, took his own bowl and vacated it, saw that the plate taken by Qi Jiuli was shaky, wiped it with a coarse cloth and left it, and wiped the pot when Ming'er stir-fried the pot, wouldn't there be more oil stars, and then washed Qi Jiuli's plate and put it back in the basket.
Although Qi Maosheng's family has had dinner, there is no oil star to eat, and now the children in the family see the oily pastries, and they don't know what they are made of.
"Milk, it's so fragrant, salty, like white rice." Ma Tianhua's eldest grandson is five years old, which is the age that can be said.
As soon as she heard that it was white rice, Ma Tianhua felt distressed, and lamented in her heart that Qi Jiuli was wasted, how could the precious white rice be tossed like this, and it cost oil, but I felt warm, and I didn't expect to be able to send these to myself.
