Chapter 32: The heart is more than enough but the strength is insufficient

A few days later, the sweetwater shop had already made a lot of money, and Xie Niang's eldest brother Xie Yucheng was busy counting the money, looking at the copper coins piled up in front of him, his eyes narrowed with a smile, staring at the silver coins in front of him, and he didn't dare to blink.

Xie Niang looked at her eldest brother's wealth fan speechlessly, "Big brother, be a little more restrained, Li Gongzi is still here." She glanced at Li Qiuchi's indifferent smile, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie Xianming, who was next to him, was also happy when he saw the money he earned in front of him, and said with a smile, "Don't talk about your eldest brother, even if I see it, I am also very happy, I have been working for a few years, and it is the first time I have seen so much money." Xie Niang, it seems that you have opened a good shop, and you have not disgraced the shop that has been passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors. ”

Xie Niang felt a little embarrassed when she heard this praise, "It's not my credit alone, if it weren't for Li Gongzi, this shop would have been unable to open a long time ago." ”

Only then did the two notice Li Qiuchi behind them, and Xie Yucheng also restrained his appearance as a wealth fan, and his voice was low, "Who are you?" ”

Li Qiuchi twitched the corner of his mouth, "...... I'm the one who came to convince you to deliver food that day. ”

Xie Yucheng frowned and thought carefully, but he didn't remember who it was for a long time.

Xie Xianming stared at Li Qiuchi directly, and then he recalled, "I remember!" You're that pretty little guy! He approached Li Qiuchi and said in a joking voice, "What? Got a crush on my sister? If you like it, marry it! My sister is called a virtuous person, and I promise you not to suffer! ”

"Second brother!" Xie Niang glared at him angrily, what was she doing in a hurry to push her out? It's like she can't get married.

Xie Xianming coughed dryly twice, pretending to be nothing, and turned his head to look around.

Li Qiuchi was stunned for a moment, is this to introduce Xie Niang to her? She smiled embarrassedly, "No need, no need, Ling Mei deserves a better lover." ”

Just kidding, how can she marry a woman as a woman.

Xie Niang heard her polite refusal, and the gaze that looked at her became resentful.

Xie Yucheng's originally contemplative face suddenly widened, "Don't you dislike my sister!" ”

"No, no, no!" Li Qiuchi hurriedly waved his hand and snorted, "It's just that the little brother has more than enough heart and not enough strength, so I really can't delay Sister Ling." ”

When these words fell, the atmosphere suddenly became strange.

"Is there more than enough heart but not enough strength?" Xie Xianming's face became weird, and he looked at Li Qiuchi's eyes with pity, "Li Gongzi, you shouldn't be ......?"

Xie Yucheng also frowned, and spoke extremely directly, "You can't do that?" ”

Xie Niang's face was also red, and after glancing at her eldest brother fiercely, she looked at Li Qiuchi again, wanting to comfort her gently, "Li Gongzi, don't be sad, your body can make up for ......."

"Huh??" Li Qiuchi's face was full of black question marks.

Xie Xianming stood up, patted Li Qiuchi on the shoulder, and smiled heartily, "Li Gongzi, don't be shy, just find a doctor for this kind of thing." ”

Li Qiuchi: "......"

Two days later, because the business of the sweetwater shop and the supper stall was too hot and many ingredients were used up, Li Qiuchi was ready to personally take the two brothers and Xie Niang to the next town to buy ingredients.

In the morning, Xie Niang knocked on Li Qiuchi's door.

"Master Li, we're going to set off soon!" Xie Niang knocked on the door and shouted outside the door.

The door was slowly opened, and Xie Niang was about to open her mouth with a smile, when she saw Li Qiuchi's outfit and was startled. She took two steps back and looked at Li Qiuchi in disbelief, "Who are you?" Why is it in Li Gongzi's room?! ”

"What's the panic?" Li Qiuchi's calm voice sounded, Xie Niang recognized the person, and after she breathed a sigh of relief, she looked at Li Qiuchi's outfit again, and suddenly burst out laughing.

She covered her mouth, and her delicate laughter immediately filled the entire room, "Li Gongzi, why did you become like this?" ”

Li Qiuchi subconsciously touched his beard, "Is there anything wrong?" ”

She smiled and picked up the bronze mirror next to her and handed it to Li Qiuchi, and after glancing at Li Qiuchi, she couldn't help laughing, her eyes were full of cheerful smiles, and she couldn't stop laughing when she covered her mouth.

Li Qiuchi looked at himself in the bronze mirror, his face was fair, his eyebrows were sharp, and he had a hint of heroism. The black beard is the biggest failure, he looks like a greasy uncle, and his appearance has dropped by at least fifty percent.

She put down the bronze mirror and waved her hand indifferently, "It's okay, it's okay, that's fine." ”

"Brother Li, have you packed up?" Xie Xianming hurriedly broke in, with a package already on his back, and was stunned when he saw Li Qiuchi's outfit.

Li Qiuchi looked at him, trying to make himself appear gentle, but he pursed his lips and smiled, but he became more and more obscene.

"Hahaha......" Xie Xianming suddenly burst out laughing, and the laughter immediately spun out of the room, and the entire courtyard was filled with laughter, "Brother Li, you are really talented hahahaha......"

"What's going on?" Xie Yucheng rushed in with a package in his hand, and was also stunned after seeing Li Qiuchi's outfit.

Li Qiuchi glanced at the three of them and walked straight out.

Until the road, Xie Niang and Li Qiuchi were in the same carriage, and Xie Niang also laughed so much that her shoulders shook.

Li Qiuchi glanced at her, is it so funny?

In the evening, the carriage suddenly stopped.

"Brother Li, let's rest in this inn for one night, and let's go again tomorrow." Xie Yucheng outside said loudly.

Li Qiuchi was also sleepy, and when he heard that there was an inn, his eyes suddenly lit up, and after opening the curtain, the four words of Yuelai Inn were eye-catching. When the sun sets, the sky is red, and the trees next to it are also dangling, and the surrounding area is empty, and the crows are wailing, and it looks very lonely.

She was surprised that this inn looked strange.

"Brother Li, come down quickly, it's not early." Xie Yucheng suddenly lifted the curtain, interrupting Li Qiuchi's thoughts.

She put aside the surprise and strangeness in her heart, turned back to the sleepy Xie Niang and said, "Let's go." ”

Xie Niang was more sober at this time, and slowly walked down from the carriage with Li Qiuchi, and Xiao Er immediately walked out to greet her.

"Do you want to be a guest or stay in a hotel?" Xiao Er smiled kindly, and when he was hunched over, his shrewd eyes looked at the four of them quietly.

Xie Yucheng's voice was calm, "Today, we will stay here for the night, go to four rooms, and cook some good wine and food." ”

"Okay!" Xiao Er walked in with a cheerful smile, and Li Qiuchi and the four of them also went in to find a seat and sit down, and looked around, Li Qiuchi was surprised in his eyes, this place is too simple, right?

Xie Niang handed over a piece of paper at this time, "Li Gongzi, this is the list of ingredients that our shop lacks, you can take a look." ”

Li Qiuchi came back to her senses, then took it and looked at it, and quickly found out the problem, she pointed to the ingredients on the list, "The number here is wrong, the white fungus is to be boiled slowly over low heat, so you use more, you only have fifty catties here, which is far from enough." ”

"And this white sugar and rock sugar are the same, we don't have to repeat it, and here's ......"

"Guest officer, let me go!" I don't know when, Xiao Er arrived at their table, smiling the table with a smile, wiping it extremely carefully.

Li Qiuchi and Xie Niang didn't care, they just discussed it to themselves.

When the four of them couldn't see it, Xiao Er lowered his head and wiped it carefully and slowly, with greed in his eyes.
