043 There was a big misunderstanding
After Qu Xiaoqi left, the village chief looked at the gift given by Qu Xiaoqi, so his attitude towards Qu Xiaoqi was unusually good.
This really saved Qu Xiaoqi a lot of things, and it happened that these people worked together and were probably divided into five groups.
There are more than 100 families in this village, which is actually quite a small village, but the geographical location is not good, so it is so poor.
Two are fenced and three are pigsheds.
The walls were built with a mixture of stone and clay, and it is not possible to buy burnt bricks now. Moreover, the asking price of green bricks is too high, and if they use green bricks, they will lose money.
At that time, when Qu Xiaoqi said that he would build a fence to surround the pigs first, Aunt Caifeng's surprised eyes made Qu Xiaoqi still a little embarrassed.
Aunt Caifeng's original words were: How strong the pig is, the chicken, duck and goose can be tied with wood, if it is a pig, what if it flies away?
The wall is not easy to build, and basically the people in the two teams who have done this kind of work are directing while working, and they are very busy.
Although the village chief said that he was 'overseer', he was sitting on a small bench at the moment, still eating sunflower seeds in his mouth.
A pair of eyes swept around these busy figures, and this work made him more comfortable than being the village chief.
There are also some people in the village who are too old to work to come to visit, including Lizheng.
Li Zheng is amiable and good-tempered, and is one of the few people who can talk to the village chief.
"This little baby of the Qu family is really blessed as the goddess said. I look at the man who is following her today, and he doesn't look stupid. ”
The village chief didn't pay attention to Meng Yuqing's current state, and said: "Qu Xiaoqi, she is a capable person, and now I don't know how many people envy the money earned by the Zhang family's boy." ”
"The afterlife is terrible, the afterlife is terrible."
Qu Xiaoqi has already gone back to get lunch here, making lunch for so many people, and he doesn't know if the dishes at home are enough.
When I returned home, I saw Meng Yuqing doing something in the kitchen.
"What are you doing? I'm going to have lunch in a moment, when can you get it ready? ”
"Roast pigeon."
"Rare things, there are no pigeons in the village, where are you from...... I'm not going to be my pigeon, is it? Qu Xiaoqi's heart suddenly pinched, and she said why Meng Yuqing left when she was halfway busy, it turned out that she was making a bad noise!
"So what?"
"Do you know how difficult it is for Xu Zi'an and I to get this fat pigeon to deliver a letter? You just roasted him? ”
"What is there to talk about between you, when the time comes, let him send someone to pick up the goods, you can collect the cash, and what carrier pigeons will you keep?"
Qu Xiaoqi thought for a while and nodded, "Also, is it baked?" I'll taste it. ”
"It's coming." The corners of Meng Yuqing's mouth rose slightly, and then he took it back unnaturally.
After a while, Meng Yuqing took out the pigeon from the fire and sprinkled some salt and chili powder on it.
During this time, Qu Xiaoqi's cooking method has been cultivated, and he has long known the benefits of chili peppers.
Qu Xiaoqi tore off a pigeon leg, not to mention, Meng Yuqing's barbecue skills are not bad, the outside is charred and the inside is tender, even the simple seasoning is delicious to eat.
"During this time, this fat pigeon has trained all his muscles, by the way, did Xu Zi'an say anything in the letter?"
"I burned it, I didn't see it."
"......" It seems that I can only wait for the next time Xu Zi'an sends someone over to ask, it shouldn't be an important matter.
After the farm is over, she should also find trouble with Sister Xihe, after all, she hasn't paid the five taels of silver yet.
Four dishes were made, each of which was enough to make a large pot, and there was also a meat dish, which was very hearty for this meal served at noon.
"By the way, do you have a coolie and ask him to buy some dry food and move all the vegetables to the place where he works? You come with me to Sister Xihe's house...... It's the reward for last night's incident. "You still have to show sincerity when asking people to do things, but this sincerity is obviously a little too light
"No, unless Zeng Miaoya also goes to Aunt Caifeng's house to sleep today."
"Then you tell her yourself." Qu Xiaoqi went out of the house directly, if Meng Yuqing didn't follow, she would go to her uncle.
Uncle is also helping her build a fence now, and deliberately found Qu Xiaoqi and told her that she didn't want to be paid, just came to help.
Qu Xiaoqi did not respond positively, the salary that should be given still has to be paid, and he can only let others assign it to the uncle's group at that time.
After a while, Meng Yuqing came out.
When he arrived at Xihe's sister's house, Qu Xiaoqi only saw the constricted door, and it seemed that the family was letting themselves go like thieves.
"Do you have five taels of silver ready? Give you two days, I'll come and get it the day after tomorrow, and if you still hide inside and don't come out, I'll force myself in and take you to the official!" ”
Originally, Qu Xiaoqi wanted to leave, but he didn't expect the door in the house to open.
The one who opened the door was a little girl who looked to be in her teens, and before she could speak, she heard the people inside shouting: "You broom star, what are you doing!" Hurry up and close the door for the old lady. ”
The girl craned her neck, glanced a little frightened into the room, and closed the door.
Qu Xiaoqi didn't know that Xihe's sister had a daughter or granddaughter, so it seemed that she would have to ask Aunt Caifeng for a while.
After that, Qu Xiaoqi went home, and now she needs to clean up the pig in the water and then marinate it.
In the city, this thing is much better than braised pork, and gradually some people will buy pigs to make some food.
Naturally, I bought it from Butcher Li, and these were only heard by Qu Xiaoqi.
Butcher Li finally stayed in the yamen for seven days, and when he came out, he set up his stall in the farthest place from Butcher Zhang and Qu Xiaoqi.
Naturally, there is no way to compare the business, but out of sight and out of mind, and not watching Qu Xiaoqi and Butcher Zhang's business all day long, his mentality is much better.
The most obvious change is that he will no longer scold Butcher Zhang behind his back, and he can also show a smile when he sees people who come to buy meat.
This allows some lazy people to buy meat directly from him, so that they can also maintain food and clothing.
Qu Xiaoqi is naturally happy, she doesn't want another group of people sitting on the ground in front of her stall to make trouble.
"By the way, Meng Yuqing, who are you?" Qu Xiaoqi blurted out such a question.
"The king of the kingdom."
Well? Qu Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment, thinking that Meng Yuqing was joking, if the king of the dynasty was in front of him, and the palace of the dynasty would be leaderless for more than a month, the dynasty would have to change the name of the country.
"It seems that you still have some sequelae, so I'll take you to the old doctor another day."
When he returned home, the dishes in the pot had already been taken away, and it seemed that Meng Yuqing's subordinates were doing things very neatly.
Martial arts, poisoning, and madness, these words are combined in Qu Xiaoqi's mind, and they are Jianghu people, just like the kind of people who can eat several dry foods in one meal that they met before.
"By the way, I asked you before what benefits you gave Zhou Zhengduan's father, but you haven't replied to me yet? Can't say? ”
"It's nothing, it's just to let his woman's bounty disappear in the dark pavilion for a year, so that she can take care of the baby."
Qu Xiaoqi was very unfamiliar with the word dark pavilion, and asked casually: "Who is Zhou Zhengduan's mother?" ”
"The leader of the Demon Cult."
"......" Qu Xiaoqi almost couldn't help but burst into foul language again, the number one sounded like it was very powerful, she swallowed her saliva and continued to ask: "What about Zhou's father?" ”
"This is interesting, the gods are haunted, and everywhere they go, they are called fairy doctors."
One immortal and one demon is really interesting, "I didn't expect there to be such a good story in the rivers and lakes." ”
"There are many good stories in the rivers and lakes, and it is rumored that the saintess in the depths of the snow-capped mountains eloped hand in hand with the undefeated general in the world, but unfortunately in the end they did not escape the pursuit and fell one after another. There are also rumors that their children were born somewhere and escaped. ”
"Really? I don't know if the surviving children are lucky or unlucky, carrying a sea of blood and hatred, and enduring the loneliness of not having a family. ”
"That general is very famous, if it weren't for him, the dynasty would have been annexed a long time ago. Don't you know? His surname is Qu. ”
Qu Xiaoqi was stunned, she heard the meaning of Meng Yuqing's words, the two people in his mouth were his father and mother?
From an orphan girl from a peasant family to the daughter of a general with a deep hatred of blood?
"A group of people who chased and killed General Qu were sent by the monarch of the dynasty back then, and no news was sent back, and the whole group of people was wiped out. So, I don't know what happened back then, who they were, and what their purpose was. ”
"Enough, I don't want to know." Qu Xiaoqi frowned, she and the original body probably didn't have any impression of their biological father and mother, and even if they did, it was the original body's longing for the father and mother who had never met when they were children.
"Qu Xiaoqi, I'm telling you this to let you know that if you are too ostentatious, you are likely to be arrested and tortured by those people, so that you can confess everything you don't know."
Qu Xiaoqi's eyes drooped slightly, his eyes looked at the ground, and he said with some irritation: "Could it be that you ran to Fengshui City to find the child left by General Qu?" Your purpose, and everything you say I don't know? I really don't know anything! "I'm not Qu Xiaoqi at all!
The person who had been observing all this in the dark only felt that his stomach was cramping at the moment, and now even he felt that his master's brain did seem to have something wrong.
Knowing too much will be killed, and he must find a scapegoat now!
Use your brain quickly and think about it, who else is so idle among the master's subordinates besides him?
It seems that there really isn't! What should I do?
The relationship that had just eased up was now stiffened again, and Meng Yuqing also knew that it was not good now, he had to explain, otherwise he would not even have a chance to explain in the future.
"Qu Xiaoqi, no, it's just a coincidence......" "Qu Xiaoqi!" A childish child's voice sounded.
Meng Yuqing's face was ugly, and in a hurry, he didn't even notice that someone was approaching, and his internal strength was lost a lot.
