Chapter Twenty-Six: A Thief?
Li Meng was still talking when he heard a knock on the door outside.
"Coming, wait......"
Li Wan was heard answering.
Li Meng is not in a hurry, he kneaded the dough unhurriedly, this kneading dough is also a technical job, the dim sum made by the ancients has nothing to say, but the steamed buns are not soft enough, but today she does not make steamed buns.
"Sister, it's Qu Zhutou."
Li Wan's voice revealed a bit of lightness.
"Here we are."
Li Meng washed his hands and walked out of the kitchen in a hurry.
Li Wan had already presented Qu Qingliu with a cup of tea, and stood aside habitually.
Qu Qingliu glanced at the white porcelain cup in his hand, the white body of the cup was slightly glowing with the luster of porcelain enamel, and the calloused fingertips passed by, with a little warmth.
"Qu catches the head."
Li Meng was also a little surprised, Qu Qingliu didn't seem to have come to visit the door on purpose.
Qu Qingliu moistened his throat, put down the white porcelain cup in his hand, and then got up, "Recently, there may be a thief in Feiyun County, and I am going door-to-door to inform you." You haven't seen any suspicious people lately, have you? ”
No wonder the people in the tea shop said that there was a dark shadow on her wall, and if it was a thief, they would have said it.
Just suspicious people?
Li Meng's gaze naturally glanced over the back room, and shook his head again, "That's not true." ”
"But there's one more thing...... Today I heard someone say that they saw a dark shadow nearby, and our two girls' houses ......"
Li Meng is worried, she is here in a book, but she has no golden finger, no space system, no modern soul, no awesome weapons.
When compared to other traversers, the damage is extremely great.
"Oh, don't listen to the people outside, if the thief really breaks into your house, how can you be safe? And didn't lose money? ”
Qu Qingliu smiled lightly, "Don't worry, I will ask everyone to walk around your house more often when they are on duty." ”
Of course, Li Meng would not refuse, and thanked him busily.
A smell of halogen came from the house at the right time.
Li Meng hurriedly said, "Qu Zhutou, you take a sip of tea and rest for a while, I'll come ...... right away."
glanced at Li Wan, then turned around and entered the house.
The pork belly in the pot has been stewed and semi-soft, the oil beads are densely floating on the boiling water, and the aroma of meat marinade is rushing towards all corners of the house.
Li Mengmali's kang made a dough cake, and this dough was thin and crispy.
I fished a piece of half-fat meat from the pot, cut a small half of the green pepper, and chopped the meat a few times, and the juice of the fat meat was forced to squeeze and flow out.
Li Meng opened the cake, swept the knife, filled the meat on the cutting board with the juice, skimmed the oil, scooped a little brine and sprinkled it inside.
The cake suddenly became hot.
Li Meng found a clean oil paper, wrapped it carefully, and was going out when he saw that Qu Qingliu had already gotten up and walked towards the door.
Li Meng chased after him effortlessly, and handed over the cake in his hand, "Qu Zhutou, our sisters are grateful for your care, and we can't come up with anything to thank you, only a little craftsmanship, and I hope you don't dislike it......"
Li Meng's posture was lowered when he said this, but he did not mean to be flattering, and there was a calm look between his eyebrows and eyes.
Qu Qingliu couldn't help it, so he had to accept it.
"Thank you."
Li Meng smiled, "Qu catches the head and walks slowly, don't send it." ”
Qu Qingliu nodded and went out, he was not hungry, but the hot cake in his hand seemed to still carry the temperature of the master, and streams of halogen incense escaped from the cracks in the oil paper.
He looked down at the cake in his hand, and in a daze, he had opened the layer of oiled paper, and the halo incense completely hit his face, and he lowered his head and took a bite......
Crispy and fragrant!
The juice just slipped on the tip of his tongue, and before he could taste it, it slipped straight down his stomach.
Only the sweet fragrance of green peppers is left in the mouth, fat but not greasy......
"Sister, what are you doing today?"
Li Wan is looking forward to it, but is it too extravagant to eat every day, especially since they only earn sixty Wen, and they are afraid of eating meat every day......
I can't stand it.
"Meat buns."
Li Meng returned to the kitchen and began to make kang cakes again, "Wait for you to taste it, if it's delicious, I'll set up a stall in front of my house to sell this." ”
"Huh?"
Li Wan was caught off guard.
"A stall at the door? Is this ...... "going to work?" And they have no experience, and they haven't set up stalls!
"Originally, I planned to set up a stall on the street, but after I went out today, I found that I was not familiar with the street, and I couldn't be anxious.
Li Meng straightened his face and said again.
If you want to live a well-off life, you really can't be lazy.
"But this is the edge of the county, there are few people, and the mouths of those aunts next door are ......"
Li Wan is not afraid of hardship, she is just afraid that Li will be wronged, and the aunts around here are obviously avoiding them like a plague god, and they don't chew the root of their tongues behind their backs.
"Life is our own, if we care about the eyes of others all the time, it is to live for others, and to live a lifetime of grievances. Since we are out of the Shen Mansion, we must learn to support ourselves. ”
Li Meng patted Li Wan on the shoulder, "Since my sister brought you out, she won't let you go hungry." ”
"Of course I'm not questioning my sister......" Li Wanshen was afraid that Li Meng would misunderstand her, and hurriedly explained, "I just think that my sister has shown her head and worked so hard......"
"What is it for young people to suffer a little! Not to mention showing up...... I don't care at all. Li Meng smiled, his eyes narrowing into a crescent moon.
"Hmm."
Li Wan nodded emphatically.
There was some heat on his cheeks, but he didn't dare to look up at Li Meng.
"Come, how about trying this meat bun!"
Li Meng doesn't know if there is such a snack in this place, but try to see if it can be sold in Feiyun County!
In the evening, the two of them ate the rattan pepper fish soup in the afternoon.
Li Meng sent Li Wan to sleep early, and Li Wan would have to sit at the door and guard the stall in the future, which was bound to go to bed early and get up early.
I went to the small eight houses again, gave him meat buns, changed the medicine, and told him to wash his hands and face before leaving the room.
After working for a day, Li Meng already had back pain and the soles of his feet were painful.
He took out the rice washing water of the day and put his hands in it.
Although this body is young, it can't withstand the toss, no matter how old Li Meng is, whether he is a woman in the end, this maintenance is still needed.
Rice water helps her keep her skin hydrated, and she certainly keeps it as a treasure.
When the yard is cleaned up, go buy some aloe vera, cucumber seedlings come back to plant, earn money and earn money, this skin must also be carefully maintained, and the quality of life can not be reduced......
Pounding ......
There were a few slight noises in the courtyard, and Li Meng's heart tightened, who broke in!
