Volume 1 Chapter 48 Stimulated
"Sister, come and see, come and see." Qiao Bai's daily fun is to run to the vegetable field, either to follow those little chicks around the yard, or to stay quietly in the room to practice calligraphy.
Practicing calligraphy is something he must complete every day, this is the task assigned to him by Qiao Xi, if he can't complete the task, don't think about everything.
When the eldest brother returned, she decided to send the younger brother to study with the master in the town.
Qiao Xi was sitting on her bed, recording her income and expenditure in the recent period.
Subtracting the three hundred taels she came from the pit and the three hundred taels she earned from selling medicinal powder, as well as the five thousand taels she gave for saving people, the family has now accumulated one hundred and sixty taels, which means that the money to build a house is enough.
She was counting her heart, when she heard her brother screaming loudly, she hurriedly put away the box, put it in the storage ring, put on her shoes and ran outside the house.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Qiao Xi asked as she ran.
"Sister, look, these have grown so big, and they can climb vines like cucumbers, what are these things? And this, this, like a small tree? Qiao Bai danced with his hands, pointing to the tomato, the watermelon, or staying on the pepper.
I haven't paid much attention to them lately, they have grown so big, the watermelons have climbed the vines, and the small buds can be faintly seen, and the same is true for the peppers, only the tomatoes are standing there like small saplings, but they grow very well, tender and green.
"Watermelon, peppers and tomatoes. Watermelon is a fruit, chili peppers are delicious to cook, but they are spicy, and tomatoes can be eaten as both fruits and vegetables. Qiao Xi's eyes were full of smiles when he looked at these.
Soon she will be able to cook with chili peppers, and the saliva will run down just thinking about the spicy taste, which is too prickly/irritating to the taste buds.
"Fruit, like oranges, pears?" Qiao Bai was a little confused, he had seen oranges and pears at most before, which were also planted by students when his father was a master, and they were given to his father to eat, and they were fortunate to eat them.
"Yes, it's delicious, red and sweet." When Qiao Xi thought of eating watermelon, he forgot that this body had never tasted it at all, so how could he know what it was? What does it taste like?
"Sister, you haven't tasted it like me, how do you know?" Qiao Bai couldn't figure out how his sister knew everything clearly.
"I~~ saw it in the book." There is nothing that can't be explained, Qiao Xi will always directly push the books left by her father, anyway, half of the books in the family are now sold, and they can't find it if they want to.
"Sister, when can I eat watermelon?" was told by his sister that it was so delicious, it aroused his gluttony, and he really wanted to taste it!
"It will take about a month." She wasn't very sure about this, she had only eaten but not planted, and she could only estimate the time.
"It's been a month, that's pretty fast."
"You little gluttonous cat, you just want to eat it."
"yes, who made you say it so delicious, your mouth is going to water." Qiao Bai said with a grin.
"It's so delicious that it makes your mouth water." Qiao Song's voice came from behind the two siblings.
The small wooden stick in Qiao Bai's hand fell to the ground with a click, making a crisp sound, and stammered out a big brother: "Big ~~ big brother." ”
Qiao Xi was also a little stunned, she didn't expect her eldest brother to come back at this time, but she soon came back to her senses and called "big brother" with a happy face.
"What are you two doing here?" He came back and knocked on the door for a while, but no one opened the door for him, so he tried to push and see if he could push the door open, but he didn't expect that the door would open with a slight push, and he thought that something was wrong at home, and the door was not bolted.
After looking around the house and not seeing the two of them, I heard a faint sound of talking from the backyard, so I followed the sound and looked for it, and I heard my brother talking about delicious food, and my saliva was about to run down.
The little sister gave her brother the nickname of 'Little Gluttonous Cat', which is really appropriate, he is a gluttonous cat, and his mind is full of delicious food.
"Big brother, you see these are the seeds that the eldest sister bought last time, and they have all grown so big. This is watermelon, this is a tomato and this is called chili, my sister said that these are all good things, but they are delicious. Qiao Bai happily introduced it to the eldest brother, and finally did not forget to bring a delicious sentence, it is really inseparable from eating in ten sentences.
"Watermelon? Tomato? Chili pepper? What are these things? Qiao Bai looked at the vegetables in the field, he had never heard of them, let alone eaten them!
Qiao Song's can make Qiao Bai down, he doesn't know what it is, anyway, he knows that it is delicious, and said a little embarrassed: "That~~ Big brother, I don't know, if you ask my sister, she must know." Qiao Bai threw the pot very smoothly and pushed his sister out directly.
That's right, he asked his brother what he was doing, that is, a master who could eat, and asking him was tantamount to asking in vain, so he turned his eyes to his sister, hoping that she could explain it.
Qiao Xi couldn't help but smile, and rolled her eyes directly at her younger brother, daring to love that she had just said so much in vain, he only remembered these things and was delicious, and there was nothing else.
"Big brother, this is a kind of watermelon, one of the fruits, which is most suitable for eating in summer, if there are ice cubes, ice for a while, eat it in your mouth, it will be comfortable, that~~~" Qiao Xi explained all these three things to Qiao Song, and then remembered her eldest brother, "Big brother, why did you come back so early?" Did you take the exam? She didn't ask directly, and she didn't force it.
"I've passed the test." Qiao Song's short few words are like the sound of nature, which has a different effect.
Qiao Xi and Qiao Bai heard what the eldest brother said, one just smiled, and the other jumped up directly, "Big brother, you are so amazing." ”
"Congratulations, big brother." Qiao Xi is much simpler, "Big brother has worked hard, I'll make a stew later, treat my brother well." "The last child also tried, my brother has the qualifications to participate in the college examination, if the college examination is not in this time, there is no need to take the child student test, you can participate in the next year's government examination, but there are only five chances, five times did not hit, destined to miss Xiucai in this life, and Xiucai is only a checkpoint for selecting talents, and only after passing can you continue to the township test, the examination and the palace examination.
"Okay, then big brother is waiting."
"Wait, I'm sure you'll be very satisfied." When Qiao Xi talked about cooking, it was a burst of self-confidence!
The three of them returned home together, Qiao Xi went to the kitchen to work, and Qiao Song took his younger brother back to the room, and by the way, he taught his younger brother his knowledge.
After dinner, Qiao Xi told his eldest brother about what happened in the past month, and their family started a vegetable business with Juxian Lou, and also confessed to his eldest brother about martial arts, and by the way, he also talked about the cooperation with the county Lingqiao Pavilion.
Qiao Song listened to his sister tell about this month's events, the more he listened to the moon, he could accept the matter of Juxian Building, this business itself was doing, and if he did it again, it would be regarded as Yang Shopkeeper's view, but his sister knew martial arts and actually concealed that he had already done business with people in the county, and he made a lot of money, and his brain felt dizzy at this moment, why did he feel so unreal.
How old is my sister, how long is her head, how can she think of so much? And when did she learn martial arts? None of their family seems to know! This girl is too good at hiding it. In this way, the last time he was angry, he was angry in vain. How many secrets does this girl have to hide, it's a little scary!
Qiao Song watched his sister's gaze change and change, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that his sister should be an immortal who fell into the mortal world, and came to their house to practice, otherwise how could it ~~~
"Big brother~~Big brother~~" Qiao Xi looked at the eldest brother who had been wandering too weakly, and was very worried, afraid that the eldest brother would be angry.
"Little sister, you are a god descending on our house." Qiao Song suddenly came to such a sentence without a head.
Immortals, ha~~ Her eldest brother actually regarded her as a fairy, "Big brother~~haha~~ You can think too much, how can I be a fairy, if I am a fairy, I will directly change a spell to get our family out of poverty." "She's not a fairy, she just has the memories of two lives, and she knows a little more.
"Uh~~~" Qiao Song was teased by his sister and felt that he was nervous, his sister was born by him, how could it be a fairy, probably his sister is a genius in people's mouths, otherwise how to explain everything about his sister.
People are more popular than people, obviously the same father and mother, why are the two brothers and sisters so much different, fortunately, only the younger sister is too smart in the family, and the younger brother and he are still in the normal range. "Don't laugh, let me ask you, what else do you have to say together?" Anyway, he was hit today, and he can bear it with a few more. Don't wait until the next time you come back and give him something or something, he's afraid that his heart will really become fragile, so it's better to come all at once.
She really has it, but there is only one item left, so do you want to say it? How do you explain it? Could it be the same as martial arts? Whitebeard grandpa taught? The eldest brother is so smart, but he is not as easy to fool as the younger brother. Qiao Xi looked at the eldest brother for a while, and finally decided to say it, so that she didn't have to hide and hide whatever she wanted in the future, she could let go of her hands and feet and do whatever she wanted.
"I know how to heal." Five simple words came out of her mouth.
"What? Medicine? Oh my God, no, I'm going to faint, I'm going to faint. Qiao Song held the edge of the table with one hand and stroked his forehead with the other, and the whole person was in a shaky state, and he really looked like he would faint at any time.
