Chapter 16: Feeding Success
"This doesn't mean to be imposing, this look is just telling others that I think you are annoying, I look down on you, don't use it indiscriminately." Lin Jinxiu waited for the egg custard to be steamed, and explained the meaning of this look to the man.
The man reacted instantly: "You want to say that you just thought I was annoying and looked down on me?" ”
"That's right." Lin Jinxiu didn't want to hide it at all.
The man was dumbfounded. He had never met such a straightforward woman in his life, and he couldn't even say funny things.
"By the way, you can ask me to treat your injuries and explain the reason for your injuries." Lin Jinxiu turned around and leaned against the stove, "Were you cut by someone seeking revenge?" ”
The man only said that he was a thief in the wind, specializing in robbing the rich and helping the poor, and this time he was conspired by the villain to become like this.
"Robbing the rich and giving to the poor?" Lin Jinxiu listened to the music, "What kind of wealth did you intercept?" What is the poor? ”
The man may have never thought about how to answer this kind of question, Lin Jinxiu's voice was behind, and he thought for a few minutes before he spoke: "What is intercepted is greedy for the rich, and what is helped is the poor." ”
Although the idea of robbing the rich and helping the poor in this era was not recognized by Lin Jinxiu, she still followed his words: "Then I hope that you will be a non-serious businessman in the future, and you will be idle in the future." ”
"What do you mean by that, girl?" Men find it funny.
"People who work hard to make money to make themselves rich are earned by hard work, and they are not corrupt officials, and they cannot be intercepted." Lin Jinxiu began to explain what she said in a crepe manner, "And the poverty of idle people is also self-inflicted, and they cannot be saved." ”
"Oh-" the man dragged out his voice, indicating that he understood, "good idea, girl." ”
Syllable! A bowl of custard was placed on the stove, and the man looked into the bowl, the orange-red custard rippled in the bowl, and the visible elastic tooth feeling and refreshing fragrance made his eyes seem to be set on the bowl.
"Alright." Lin Jinxiu dropped a few drops of sesame oil on the custard, poked the spoon into the middle of the custard, and handed the bowl to the man, "Eat quickly, get out after eating." I don't know if it works, you leave it to fate. ”
The man took the bowl silently, and pulled out the spoon as soon as possible, as if protesting against Lin Jinxiu's destruction of the shape of the rippling egg custard. The oil drips of sesame oil slide around on the surface of the egg custard, and it touches the man's heart like hypnosis.
"It's not poisoned, you can eat it with confidence." Lin Jinxiu thought he was wondering if there was anything else in the custard, "I don't have any money to buy drugs." ”
The man shook his head as if to explain that this was not the case, and reached out to remove the mask from his face.
The mask blocked most of the man's face, only revealing his mouth and nose, but the edge of the mask had already touched the corners of his mouth, and if he didn't take it off, it would affect his eating.
Lin Jinxiu was very surprised when she saw that the man took the initiative to take off the mask that blocked his face. A man wearing a mask like this definitely doesn't want others to recognize him, but this man actually took off the mask in front of him, could it be that this mask is actually just an ornament for him?
Lin Jinxiu didn't think much about it. The man who took off his mask lowered his head and ate the custard quietly, his elegant and natural movements were not ordinary thieves at first glance, but if he was a dignitary, he would be able to come out and be this thief who robbed the rich and helped the poor?
He just said that Lin Jinxiu has a secret on his body, and it seems that this person's own secrets are not lacking at all.
Lin Jinxiu's attention shifted from his identity to his appearance, this man has a thin face and a pair of narrow eyes, but from the black under his eyes, it can be seen that he has not had a good rest for a long time recently, the fingers holding the bowl and spoon are very long, but the joints are bulging, further showing the man's thinness. I'm afraid that I can be starved like this after sleeping outside for a long time, and it's not easy to be a thief now.
In addition to these, Lin Jinxiu found that although the man's face was stained with some dust, his skin was surprisingly good, and it was even more delicate than her girl, which deepened Lin Jinxiu's doubts. If you are a person who has been wandering outside, will you have such delicate skin? Such skin has to be maintained by a person who lives a well-thought-out life for at least five or six years to achieve, and a snitch like him would have such conditions?
There are too many contradictions in men, so Lin Jinxiu can't figure it out.
"Why does the girl keep staring?" may be thinking about things and being fascinated, Lin Jinxiu himself didn't realize that he had been staring at other people's faces for a long time, and even the man who ate eggs with his heart found out himself.
"I'm afraid you'll take advantage of my inattention to do something stealing chickens and dogs." Of course, Lin Jinxiu can't say that she is guessing what kind of person he is.
"If you concentrate on eating the custard made by the girl, how can you have the leisure to do other things?" The man raised his eyes and smiled, his crooked eyebrows and eyes were very good-looking.
Lin Jinxiu, a person whose mind has never been on a man, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow for his smile: "Is it delicious?" ”
"It's delicious." The man replied earnestly. From the moment he put the first sip in his mouth, he felt what it means to truly melt in your mouth. And as the egg custard slid into the abdomen, there was a faint warm current flowing along the limbs and hundreds of bones to the whole body, the fatigue around the body was swept away, and even the wound was no longer painful, and the itch seemed to begin to grow, "Girl, this egg is really a divine thing, and it is more effective than medicine." ”
What a magical egg, I don't know where this girl got it from. I saw her take it from her body, did she usually put eggs in her clothes?
"Ding! Gain 10 points of satisfaction. The mechanical voice of the system sounded in Lin Jinxiu's mind.
"When you're full, leave quickly." Lin Jinxiu gestured to the door with her chin, "By the way, I washed the dishes myself." ”
The man didn't refute, he really poured a small half bucket of well water and put the bowl in front of Lin Jinxiu: "Miss Xie entertained, and I wish to grant the girl a wish." ”
"Wish?" Lin Jinxiu has been exposed to this kind of plot more than once in various works, and it is really funny when she puts it on herself, "You are a flower thief, and you still want to fulfill my wish, if you are really capable, you can repay Cui Shao's debt of one hundred taels of silver for me!" ”
"This ......," the man raised an eyebrow.
"Alright, alright, get out of here." Lin Jinxiu began to bombard him, "If you have money, you can still come to me and let me heal my injuries?" This custard is also when I invite you, get out. ”
As soon as the words fell, the sound of Lele babbling came from the small house behind the store, probably hungry. Lin Jinxiu's attention was suddenly attracted by her son, and she looked in the direction of the room, and with just a turn of her head, the man actually disappeared out of thin air, as if he had never been here at all.
Lin Jinxiu was stunned, at that moment she thought she was dreaming.
However, on the small stool where the man had sit, there was a wooden sign with a smooth surface, which was very conspicuous in the moonlight.
Lin Jinxiu went to pick up the wooden card, but unfortunately she didn't know any of the seal characters carved on it, she only felt that the wooden card was beautifully carved, and it was estimated that it could be exchanged for a few taels of silver.
"Okay, this guy at least knows how to keep something." Lin Jinxiu put away the wooden sign with satisfaction, "Although I don't know who I found it from, at least it looks like it's worth some money." ”
"But if he found it from someone's house, if I sell it, will it be considered that I stole it?" Lin Jinxiu, who suddenly thought of the man's identity, temporarily canceled the decision to exchange the wooden card for money, only thinking that he might use the wooden card to pay off the last debt when he was finally at the end of his rope.
After this uproar, the boredom in Lin Jinxiu's heart actually disappeared. She tiptoed back to the bed that Aunt Li and Ning Er had shared for her, unbuttoned her clothes and hugged Lele to feed him.
The man just praised this egg for being better than medicine, so in addition to eggs, will corn flour have a similar effect?
Lin Jinxiu comforted Lele, who was well-fed, and lay on the bed and looked directly at the ceiling, thinking in his heart, tomorrow he would use this corn flour as his secret recipe and send it to the old man, although he was not sure that the effect was greater than that of eggs, at least the things in the space would not harm people.
……
On the roof not far away, the man put his mask back on, and the long corn stalk in his hand was really eye-catching compared to the night robe that blended into the night.
Whether it is broken, folded, or even used internal force, this corn stalk does not move at all, and there is no meaning of breaking at all, but this thing is very light in the hand and looks very fragile.
"There is such a hard corn stalk...... the man finally gave up the idea of breaking the corn stalk, and instead carried the unexpected murder weapon on his shoulder, and followed his line of sight, the dilapidated little shop on the corner of the street stood quietly in the night.
"Miss Lin, is it...... Someday we'll meet again. ”
……
Lin Jinxiu didn't know when she fell asleep. When she woke up again, the sound of rustling next door caught her attention.
It wasn't dawn yet, Ning Er really got up, yawned and walked out, and soon the sound of pots and pans colliding came from the kitchen.
That's a lot of hard work...... Lin Jinxiu slept late yesterday, but she knew that this was not the time to continue to be sleepy, so she endured a strong sense of sleepiness and got up from the bed, and walked to the kitchen to help Ning'er with two steps and a yawn.
"Sister Lin, you're awake." Compared with Lin Jinxiu's dark circles that couldn't fade, Ning Er was full of energy, but her little face was always nervous, and she couldn't see real joy.
Lin Jinxiu hummed, sharpened a little ink, wrote the words "first day" on the ledger, walked to Ning'er's side to help her carry water and firewood, and got busy.
Ning'er is not tall, but her strength is not small, Lin Jinxiu hasn't seen how she is doing it yet, the hands are dipped in water and reach into the middle of the flour, forcefully, flip, the flour seems to have life, dancing between her little hands, just a short time later, a smooth dough appeared in her hands, the basin was clean, and there were only a few traces of small powder that were firmly on the edge of the basin and did not want to come down still stubbornly survived.
Wake up, burn oil, Ning Er's neat movements finally lined Lin Jinxiu just to help. Sure enough, doing housework at home and opening a store are completely different things, Lin Jinxiu gave Ning Er a place, stretched her neck to see the slightly turbid oil bottom in the oil pot slowly blistering.
