Li Jicai patted him on the shoulder generously, she felt that this Cao Jingcheng was too restrained and cautious.

But in fact, she can also understand that when she was begging on the street, she was also criticized, looked down upon, and treated coldly by others, which was not pleasant.

The sensitive one seems to feel that the whole world is looking at him, and the whole world is looking down on him.

Li Jicai sometimes denies himself, and feels that life is full of despair.

But haven't you survived it now?

If a person drinks water, he knows whether he is warm or cold.

Some things may not seem like anything to outsiders, but for yourself, the taste can only be experienced by yourself, and others cannot replace them.

Li Jicai went to the kitchen to get a steamed bun, which was left over from the morning, she warmed it up slightly, and then took it over to Cao Jingcheng.

Of course, in order to avoid his embarrassment, while Cao Jingcheng was eating, she walked to the side and continued to organize the things in the store, adjusting the position of the stool and seat until she felt suitable and satisfied.

"Boss, when I first came in, I thought those two wooden doors were a little strange, why are there so many doors in your store?"

"Oh! That's my new sliding door, you can try it later, and I'm going to explain to you that in addition to painting on the wall, you also have to paint on this door. ”

"What?" Cao Jingcheng was choked by Li Jicai's words, and before he could swallow the steamed bun, he was stuck in his throat, and his face turned purple from choking, and he desperately beat his chest with his fist.

Li Jicai turned around and looked at him strangely, what is there to be surprised about, don't people say that carved beams and painted buildings? What's wrong with drawing a picture on her door?

Li Jicai looked at Cao Jingcheng choking in pain, and couldn't stand it anymore, walked behind him, stood his body upright, and wanted to help him breathe,

However, due to the fact that men and women do not kiss, Cao Jingcheng himself also refused.

So Li Jicai could only pour him another glass of water and put it next to him in embarrassment.

After easing down for a long time, the steamed bun was finally choked, but Cao Jingcheng kept hiccuping.

Li Jicai was stunned, and said with some tears and laughter: "Painter, you are really interesting, interesting and tight." Hahaha"

Cao Jingcheng was so suffocated by Li Jicai's words that his old face turned red, as if his face had not returned to its normal color since they began talking.

"Don't laugh at me, don't laugh, don't laugh."

"Okay, good, don't laugh, don't laugh." Li Jicai covered his mouth and said cooperatively.

But, after a while...

Hahahahaha

It is estimated that everyone passing by can hear the loud laughter that erupts from the inside of the Suiyuan House.

"yes, I'm sorry, I couldn't hold back, hahaha." Li Jicai's tears of laughter are about to flow out, this painter is really fun.

After a little teasing, I blushed, I had to choke on a steamed bun, and I hiccuped desperately after choking, how could it be so funny?

"Boss, if you laugh at me again, I'll leave me." Cao Jingcheng really couldn't stand Li Jicai's unbridled laughter.

Although it seemed to magically alleviate his embarrassment, it left a feeling of chagrin in vain.

But if he kept laughing like this, he really wanted to find a crack to get into.

"Sister, what are you laughing at? I could hear it outside, and it was raining, drenching me to death. ”

Suddenly, a young man's voice came from outside, interrupting the two, and Li Jicai and Cao Jingcheng involuntarily looked towards the door.

It was Li Jiye who came back.

"It's nothing, this is the painter I hired in the shop, you change your clothes first, and then come back to take care of the guests, I will go to the back kitchen to prepare dinner."

"Hmm......" Li Jiye replied, and then walked over, but did not go to the room to change clothes in a hurry, although he looked like his clothes were soaked all over his body, as if they were stuck to his body, but he was not in a hurry at all, but walked to Xiao Erhei's side and began to tease the dog.

Cao Jingcheng was a little embarrassed, and didn't know how to say hello, the man in front of him called Boss Li his sister, so it was Li Jicai's younger brother, that is, the second boss of this store?

After thinking about it, Cao Jingcheng felt that it would be a bit rude if he didn't greet him, so he cautiously shouted: "Second Boss Li." ”

Li Jiye looked back at him suspiciously, what is this name? Boss Li Er??

"Hahahahahaha Li Er Boss, hahaha Sayozi, you are Li Er Boss. Poof, hahaha. Li Jicai just turned around and came back to get the plate that had just been given to Cao Jingcheng to serve steamed buns, and the steamed buns had already been eaten, but he didn't expect to hear Cao Jingcheng take the initiative to greet Li Jiye.

This title is also very interesting, Boss Li Er.

I don't know, I think Li Jiye is Li Er.

Poof, it's really funny.

Li Jiye glanced at Cao Jingcheng speechlessly, the other party's face was at a loss, and he thought, is it a mistake?

"What's so funny about laughing, laughing, laughing? Why haven't you been so happy in the past? It's just a title, what's so funny? Li Jiye unceremoniously squeezed her.

The two of them have been sisters and brothers for so long, and they are used to squeezing each other, but in Cao Jingcheng's eyes, they feel that it is because of their own mistakes that things have become the way they are.

He waved his hand to explain something.

Li Jicai's eyes were full of fine starlight, what did his eyebrows look like? That's what she is now.

Triumphant and arrogant, cheerful and cunning.

In Li Jiye's eyes, he just hated to give her two old punches immediately.

"Painter, let me introduce you, this is my younger brother Li Jiye, he is not called Li Er, you know?" Li Jicai said with a wicked smile.

Cao Jingcheng touched his nose with some embarrassment, and then nodded vigorously to show that he understood.

Li Jiye stood up a little helplessly, and then got up and left, the clothes on his body were still wet, and it was very uncomfortable to stick to his body, so he hurriedly went to change.

Li Jicai didn't know what he was doing, and the people invited were also strange.

He couldn't figure out what a good restaurant could do when he invited a painter to come over.

Forget it, just let her toss, he never guessed her mind anyway.

The rain outside was so heavy that I froze to death. When he went out at noon, Li Jicai reminded him to bring an umbrella, but he forgot it and blamed himself.

Next time, listen to her obediently and take her words to heart.

Li Jicai wandered in the kitchen for a long time, and made three bowls of noodles out, beef knife cut noodles.

Li Jicai hadn't done it before, mainly because she didn't know how to make noodles, but this morning I tried a pot and thought it was pretty good, and it took a long time to wake up, so she made dumplings at noon and didn't make noodles.

It's almost the same at night, knife noodles to be honest, she has eaten in modern times, it is a restaurant called Lanzhou beef ramen, but their noodles are soft and rotten, not very delicious, and the beef is also pitiful, 8 yuan a bowl does not expect to be able to eat much meat.

Winter vegetables are a bit expensive, and I only bought a handful of green onions, and I was reluctant to buy too much.

The morning market comes alive at dawn, and most people choose to buy all the ingredients they need for the day in the morning and then go home, not wanting to come out and suffer the cold again.

The winter sun also seems to be clouded by a layer of things that cannot be seen or touched, and the temperature has dropped a lot, and you can't feel warm even if you bask in the sun for half a day.

"This is the noodle I made, you guys try it and see if it tastes?"

Li Jicai served three bowls of noodles on a tray and put them on the table, and then beckoned Cao Jingcheng and Li Jiye to come over to eat noodles.

The wood-colored tray was newly bought by Li Jicai recently, and he thought that he might use it when the new store opened.

Li Jiye changed into clean clothes and came down from upstairs.

After the renovation of Suiyuanju, the biggest change for him was that the house was moved from the backyard to the upper floor.

Li Jicai said that the upstairs is no longer used as a place to receive guests, and the box is not suitable for living with fate.

Li Jiye questioned at the time, if people like Xi Zien came to the restaurant to eat, what should they do when they asked for a special place?

Li Jicai didn't take this into account, but she thought that there was no problem with eating in the front hall, but if she wanted to stay overnight, the upstairs room could be used as a guest room.

There are a total of six rooms upstairs, one is Li Jiye's room, and one is Li Jicai's, this time the room for the painter is in the backyard, living next to the husband, if there is something, the two of them can also take care of each other.

Because Li Jicai and Li Jiye don't live in the store every day, they still have to go back to the small courtyard occasionally, after all, it is their roots.

"It smells so good." The steaming noodles exude the fragrance of green onions, as well as the smell of fat, and the white heat wafts in the air, drifting farther and farther until it disappears.

Li Jiye inhaled hard, and couldn't help but sigh, he knew Li Jicai's habit of eating noodles, and when he poured vinegar and sprinkled oil and spicy seeds, the taste was tsk.

I don't know who Li Jicai learned her craft from, it's really good, and it's no wonder she dares to come out and open a store.

There was a serious and obedient Cao Jingcheng sitting next to him, smelling the smell of incense, and he couldn't help but saliva came out of his mouth, and his stomach, which had just eaten steamed buns, seemed to be hungry again.

"What are you doing? Eat it quickly, the noodles will melt after a while, and if they melt, they will be a lump, and they will not taste good. ”

Li Jicai watched the two of them staring at the noodles on the table, but they didn't put down the chopsticks for a long time, and couldn't help but remind in confusion.

Li Jiye and Cao Jing glanced at each other, then stretched out their hands and picked up the chopsticks, picked up the noodles and prepared to eat.

He said how strange it was? This noodle is not long, but cut one by one.

"Sister, what kind of face are you? How did it go one by one, I haven't seen it before. ”

"This is called knife-cut noodles, not the kind of slender noodles, just a large dough, and then the noodles are cut with a knife, this is the shape, you eat and look very elastic."

"Huh" Li Jiye nodded inexplicably, he didn't know why Li Jicai didn't eat long noodles, he had to eat this kind of section by section, even if he was too lazy to grow up, it would be okay to eat a gnocchi.

Odd.

Li Jiye blew on the noodles, and then took a bite.

It's still a little hot, the hot teeth are a little painful, and I feel very painful when I gasp.

This noodle is still hard in the middle, and your teeth should be slightly strained when biting, especially when chewing.

The rich, fragrant soup with a hint of spicy flavor quickly fills every corner of the mouth, bringing a very impactful feeling.

It's hot, it's fragrant, it's chewy, it's really delicious!

Li Jiye and Cui Jingcheng discovered the special feature of this noodle, quickly picked up the chopsticks and took two more bites, and fished them into their mouths, even if they were hot, they were reluctant to spit it out, and the taste was not salty or light.

"Whoop, whoa, whoa."

The two big men at the table ate happily, Li Jicai was much calmer, eating slowly, she added an egg to the bottom of everyone's bowl, and when they were almost finished, they could find out.

In fact, Cao Jingcheng doesn't like to eat green onions, which belongs to one of his personal habits, but he has never said it to anyone.

When the noodles were served, he saw the green ones floating on the noodle soup, and he wanted to refuse a small section of green onions.

Because the smell of chopped green onions is really bad for him.

But because of the noodles made by Li Jicai, he was embarrassed to refuse the kindness of the host's family, thinking that he could only endure the feeling of instinctive resistance in his body, and forced himself to eat this bowl of noodles.

But I don't know why, just smelling this smell, I feel extremely longing.

It wasn't until he took his first bite that he really realized what it meant to be delicious.

Even if it was mixed with the green onion he hated, the strength of the knife-cut noodles, the richness of the soup base, and the peculiar spices still made him irresistible.

I ate a large bowl of noodles, and the soup was clean, and there was nothing left.

Li Jiye is no exception, he felt cold and hungry when he came back from outside, and he felt cold when he changed his clothes, but the bowl of noodles made by Li Jicai went down to the stomach, and the whole body warmed up, as if there was a heat flow spreading to the limbs and bones, dispelling the cold, sending out bursts of heat from the body, and not feeling cold, after the abdomen was greatly satisfied, the whole person relaxed, and suddenly there was a feeling of tiredness, and I wanted to sleep when I was full.

"There's hot water boiling in the backyard, and then you can lead the painter to the back later, freshen up and go to bed, go to bed early, don't stay up late, you know?."

In ancient times, people worked from 9 to 5, and their daily life and rest were very regular, and when it was late, they would put out the candles and go to bed early.

Li Jiye nodded, after all, Li Jicai is a woman, and there are many inconveniences in greeting a man, and he can understand it.

I only hope that the painter he invited is a real talent and a real learner, and not a person who comes to eat and drink.
