Chapter 9: Cuiying
Although it doesn't taste like a big fish or meat, it's not as rich as modern ones, and there is no oil and water, just a soup of wotou, wild vegetables and a few clear rice grains, but Xiang Tianqi still feels delicious inexplicably.
Maybe it's because of a different mentality, or maybe it's no longer her eating alone. In the past, except for when she was with Li Jia in the present world, she ate coldly alone, even if it was complicated, but now although she is surrounded by people who have just met for less than a day, she feels very comfortable, which is the first warmth she received in another world, which has a different meaning.
After eating, Xiang Tianqi had to clean up with him, and he didn't let his grandmother let her go, and let his daughter Cuiying take her to the east wing to clean up the house.
Although the hometown is not as new as the patriarch's family, it is not small, with two main houses in the north, and the old couple live. The west wing is two, one is the kitchen and the utility room. There are two rooms in the east wing, one is where Cui Ying lives, and the other is where Xiang Tianqi will live.
Behind the house are vegetable patches and thatched houses. This is different from the other houses in the village that Xiang Tianqi saw, the other houses he glimpsed when passing by the village are all thatched houses in the courtyard, and they are not divided into wings, but they feel a bit like the layout of the ancient big families that Xiang Tianqi understands, but it is relatively simple.
This made her very curious, and she didn't see Helao's son and daughter-in-law just now, and he didn't introduce Helao. But now that she has just entered someone's house, she is not good at asking these questions.
Cui Ying walked ahead of her, lifted the curtain of the door and put it on the open ones, and went in to open the window, saying that it was to ventilate. Xiang Tianqi followed in, and saw that the house was very clean, and it seemed to be cleaned frequently, but there was no trace of anyone living there.
Cui Ying took out a set of mattresses from her room and spread them on this side of the bed, and said to Xiang Tianqi
"Xiaoqi, this is another set of my bedding, it has just been dismantled and washed in the past few days, and it has been dried, it is very clean, you can use this set, usually get up, you can open the window to ventilate, bask in the sun, so that the house will not be too dark and damp."
Xiang Tianqi watched from the side, by the way, she felt very novel who had never lived in an adobe house, this is the season to see the situation should be summer, although it is evening, it still feels very hot, but as soon as you enter the house, it feels very cool.
Although she didn't know why it was summer when she came through, she almost didn't kill her when she woke up, so she quickly took off her down jacket and thermal underwear, leaving only the single pants and a shirt underneath.
Hiding her clothes in the tree that saved her before she began to find her way. As for why she didn't take it, it was because she felt that it was too troublesome to take this with her, and she couldn't fit it in her bag, so it was better to hide it and come back to pick it up when she found someone.
Although I wore it very thinly, it was still very hot after walking all the way. So much so that when she first entered the patriarch's house, the coolness of the moment almost made her cry out comfortably, but fortunately, she restrained herself. Stayed in the house for a while before going down. Now again, it feels like the temperature inside and outside the house is not the same as the house. Is it warm in winter and cool in summer? Xiang Tianqi thought so, it would be cool to say so!
For a person like her who is afraid of cold, especially in this ancient world where there is no heating and air conditioning, how great it is to have this kind of house that is warm in winter and cool in summer, which can make her suffer less from freezing! Thinking of this possibility, Xiang Tianqi felt crooked! She didn't even hear Cui Ying call her, and she was still immersed in her beautiful imagination. It wasn't until several times later that he came back to his senses and smiled awkwardly at Cui Ying.
After making the bed, Cui Ying said, "I'll go out and boil some water for you, and you can take a bath tonight", and went out after speaking.
Xiang Tianqi looked at Cuiying's back, hehe smiled, and felt that this Cuiying was quite funny, although he didn't talk much, but he knew that he cared about people, and he was only immersed in the fantasy that he didn't have to be too cold and didn't think about the problem of taking a bath, but Cuiying thought about it, and looked down at his body...... = =
, with a black line on his face. Forget it, let's not talk about it.
After Cuiying boiled the water and asked Xiang Tianqi to take a bath, Xiang Tianqi went out, and only when he entered the bathtub did he find that he had not changed his clothes. "Forget it, I'll still wear daytime clothes for a while", I regretted it when I thought of this, why didn't I prepare some changes of clothes when I was ready, and even if I didn't prepare a coat or something, especially this one that was worn closely, this ancient person wore a belly pocket, it should be a belly pocket, I don't know if this time and space is it.
Whether it's or not, it's definitely not from my own era, and I don't know if I'm used to wearing it here, if it doesn't work, do I do it myself? Well, yes, maybe you can make a fortune with this business, if no one does it.
And the aunt towel, the aunt towel she brought two packs but it was also used up, what shampoo ah, shower gel, (are you going to move the house over, why do you want to cross the whole job = =, besides, I can't fit it, and it's not infinite space, at this moment Xiang Tianqi's backpack in the house),
Cui Ying prepared something for her to take a bath, only one to rub the bath, and a small piece of soap, really a small piece, which made her miss her shower gel immensely, and many more. Thinking of this, Xiang Tianqi had a headache.
Thinking about it while washing, thinking about the way out in the future, I didn't realize that the water was cold, I came out of the bathtub and picked up the towel prepared by Cuiying on the side, wiped it and put on my daytime clothes, and then poured out the water and went back to the house.
When she returned to the house, she found that she was wearing a set of ancient women's clothes, which was similar to what Xiang Tianqi saw during the day, and it was thought that Cui Ying should have used it for her to change and wash. Realizing this, Xiang Tianqi smiled, and felt more and more that this Cui Ying was in line with her heart, although she was a different personality from Li Jia, she was a bit similar to her, but Xiang Tianqi also wanted to have the idea of making friends.
Put the clothes at the head of the bed, see that the lights in the few rooms outside are dark, she doesn't think about it anymore, lays out the quilt, blows out the oil lamp, and rests, today is too tired for a day, so after a while, she fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, I woke up to the play between Xiaobao and Cuiying. When I got up, it was about 9 o'clock in modern times, and the people in the village got up early, and at this time they had already cleaned up, and some even went to the fields early. Xiang Tianqi hurriedly got up, changed into Cuiying's clothes, folded the bed, opened the window, and went out.
"Up? My dad said to let you have a good rest today, so I didn't call you, there is still food in the kitchen, the stove is hot, you just eat it, wash your face in the kitchen"
Hearing Cui Ying say this, Xiang Tianqi smiled apologetically at Cui Ying, went to the kitchen, washed his face and ate, and came out after eating.
Xiang Tianqi saw that Cuiying and Xiaobao were having fun over there, so he moved a stool and sat over with them. Cui Ying glanced at her and didn't speak, knowing Cui Ying's character, so Xiang Tianqi was not unhappy, but liked it very much, a quiet person is always better than a person who is noisy all the time.
After watching them play for a while, Xiang Tianqi said to Cuiying, "Cuiying, I just came to you, I don't know anything, you can introduce me to you here."
"What do you want to know?"
"What country are you in, and what age is it?" Xiang Tianqi asked the question she wanted to know the most
"This is Liang Guo, as for what age it is......" Cui Ying glanced at Xiang Tianqi, she was nervous, and then continued, "I don't understand what era you are talking about, but now it has been more than a hundred years since the founding of Liang Guo"
Hearing this, Xiang Tianqi felt strange, Liang Guo? Could it be which Liang country is your own country? But there is no era title, what's going on?
Then he asked her, "What about the other countries around you?" ”
……
"What's the matter, looking at me like that?" Xiang Tianqi asked Cui Ying.
"You're not from the west, you should know better," Cui Ying said.
"Well, this, I'm from the west, but our place is different from yours, and it's far away, and I haven't heard anything about Liang Guo or anything, and foreign businessmen haven't said anything, so I asked you" Xiang Tianqi replied weakly, but his face was blank, and he looked very sincere.
"I only know Liang Guo, and I don't know anything else" After speaking, Cui Ying stopped talking and continued to tease Xiaobao.
Xiang Tianqi didn't say anything when she saw this, after all, she was fictional, not really from the west, and it seemed that this Cuiying was not the same as the average village girl, she was very smart, so Xiang Tianqi was afraid of revealing something to make her aware of it, so she simply stopped talking, so she stood up and walked back and forth in the yard to take a look.
