Chapter 8: Second Brother
This night, Li Duoduo drank the first bowl of fish soup after the crossing.
Because ginger has not yet appeared in this era, when Li Duoduo shouted to let Caigua Niang put more ginger, Caigua Niang was at a loss:
"What is ginger?"
"Mother, you don't know ginger?" Li Duoduo was shocked.
Qian Yue, who is very good at cooking, also said that she had never heard of ginger, she just habitually threw a handful of green onions into the fish soup, and then muttered a few words:
"If you want to eat meat, let your eldest brother buy it, how can you think of eating fish, this fish soup is so unpalatable, the restaurants in the town can't make this fish soup......"
So the fish soup that Li Duoduo finally drank was very unsatisfactory.
But in order to live up to the friendship between Erya and Gouyu, Li Duoduo still drank two large bowls.
Caigua Niang looked distressed and blamed Li Fulu:
"It's all because you're too picky, look at it, Duoduo usually can't eat meat, what kind of gluttony he has become, even fish soup to drink!"
Li Fulu looked at his daughter who drank the fish soup fragrantly, and was also full of guilt, and comforted Li Duoduo:
"Girl, let's not drink such unpalatable fish soup, you bear with it, Ming'er's father will buy you meat to eat when he goes to the town to pick up your second brother!"
Li Duoduo fell into deep thought-why is everyone so disgusted with fish soup?
The reason is also very simple, it is precisely because there is no ginger to remove the fishy, ordinary fish really can't cook too good taste.
Unless the top-quality fresh fish, it is possible to cook the soup naturally delicious, although the fish in the mountains and fields is raw, but it does not have the top quality of meat.
Li Duoduo, who realized this, felt more and more that this world was incredible-
In her memory, there was almost ginger in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and this thing is not an overseas import, there is no such thing in this time and space, this is not scientific!
But looking down at his little arms and legs, Li Duoduo doesn't pay attention to any science, after all, this kind of thing has come true, what kind of science is there to talk about!
She decided that she must continue to follow Erya and Gou Yu to patrol the mountains tomorrow, maybe she will find it.
It's just that Li Duoduo followed Erya to play on the mountain for most of the day, he was really tired, and he was still in the stage of growing his body, and when he woke up from a good night's sleep, he was already on the third pole of the day.
Poor Erya had already gone up the mountain to fetch pigweed and firewood, and the dog had also gone to herd cattle to work, and no matter how much they liked Li Duoduo, they didn't have time to play with her all day.
Li Duoduo sat alone on the big stone outside the door, so bored that he drew circles on the ground with his toes.
Just as she was paddling to the fiftieth lap, Daddy Gousou came back with an ox cart.
"Daddy!" Li Duoduo greeted him happily, and said that he was going to buy meat for her to eat today.
Although she does not dislike the Li family's standard of living, she is still dominated by carnivore instincts.
Sure enough, after the ox cart came to a stop, a tall boy in a long robe jumped out of the cart with a long strip of pork belly in his hand.
"Second brother!"
Li Duoduo shouted happily again.
"Toto!"
The handsome young student is a little thin compared to Li Dabao, but the smile in his eyes when he sees Li Duoduo is exactly the same as Li Dabao.
This is Li Fulu's second son, Li Duoduo's second brother, Li Erbao, and his famous name Li Guangzong.
Different from his brother's honesty, Li Erbao has been smart and clever since he was a child, and when he was studying in a private school in the village, he was praised by the old master, saying that he had the appearance of a literary and opera star and a champion talent, which made Li Fulu, an eight-generation rich peasant, very moved, and immediately sent his son to study in the academy in the town.
also because he hoped that his son would be able to succeed in the imperial examination in the future, glorify his ancestors, and gave his son the name Li Guangzong.
This can make the old master angry, he originally just wanted to please Landlord Li and say a few good words, who knew that the praise was too much, and he directly lost a small job.
This Li Erbao is also really good, after going to the academy in the town, he studied hard, and he was only fifteen years old when he was admitted to the Tongsheng Examination, and it is said that he is ready to take the Xiucai exam this year.
For the original owner, she didn't understand whether her brother was good at studying or not, whether he would really be able to achieve something in the future, her second brother in her heart, meant oily chicken legs and all kinds of delicious food.
And these are all saved by Li Erbao from his own expenses.
Sure enough, Li Erbao walked in front of Li Duoduo in three or two steps, took out a large ball of hemp paper from his arms as before, and handed it to Li Duoduo:
"Toto, your chicken legs! You eat first, the second brother also bought you shortbread, you keep it and eat it slowly! ”
When the hemp paper, which was almost soaked with oil, was opened, and inside was an oily chicken thigh.
Li Duoduo held this oily chicken leg, and tears were about to fall.
She knows that her second brother is also true love for her.
How can she Li Duoduo be so virtuous, she actually wore such a family, and got so much love in this strange time and space!
"Second brother, you eat!"
Li Duoduo tiptoed slightly and sent the chicken leg to Li Erbao's mouth.
"The second brother specially bought it for you, you eat it, the second brother often eats it in the academy!"
Li Erbao swallowed his saliva and ate vegetarian dishes for more than two months, he was also greedy, but he felt more sorry for his sister.
He could see better and more worlds, but his sister couldn't.
But it doesn't matter.
"Duoduo, you can eat with confidence, in the future, the second brother will buy you more chicken legs, buy you more delicious food, and when the second brother has the ability, the second brother will buy you whatever you want!"
Under the summer sun, the young man touched his sister's head with a smile and made bold statements.
And Li Erbao, who dotes on his sister like this, heard that his sister suddenly had a fiancé when he was having dinner, and the braised pork on the table suddenly became unfragrant.
He exploded in an instant, stood up and pointed at Zhao Minghuai, Junxiu's face was full of doubts:
"Dad, no matter how rich this person is, you can't just sell your sister! Do you know who he is? Can he really be nice to Duoduo? ”
Li Fulu was also angry when he heard this:
"You kid, what nonsense, what kind of money is not money! Your sister is good and diligent, and she is good to your sister, where is it not in your eyes? ”
Everyone else also spoke out to say good things for Zhao Minghuai:
"Xiao Zhao is a good boy, since he came to our house, he is diligent and thrifty, you can't say that, Erbao!"
"Erbao, don't worry, my brother-in-law is kind to Duoduo, I take the time to play with her every day, and I am also skillful, and I have made up a lot of gadgets for her to make her happy!"
And the young man, who is still as elegant as a peacock, is serving Li Duoduo more vegetables.
After he put a piece of meat in Li Duoduo's bowl, he put down his chopsticks and stood up, and bowed to Li Erbao:
"Second brother, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Duoduo for a lifetime."
Li Erbao looked at Zhao Minghuai intently for a long time, then turned around and left.
Crazy, the whole family is crazy! It's all been poured ecstasy soup by this person!
