Chapter 58: Xiang Tianqi who was laughed at by everyone
Xiang Tianqi was a little unhappy today, so he went back to sleep without much chatting. The others were left staring at each other, and after a while, they dispersed.
The next morning, when I sat at the table to eat, I couldn't help but peek at Xiang Tianqi from time to time, especially Heqiang.
Xiang Tianqi didn't pay attention to it at first, but he couldn't stand it many times, and the base was large. It didn't take long for me to notice.
looked up to see what was going on, and just caught Heqiang's little eyes.
"And big brother, what's wrong? I didn't wash my face today? As he spoke, he touched his face with his hand.
"Cough, that Xiao Qi, did you ask the shopkeeper Zhang today?" I don't know if Xiang Tianqi's anger has disappeared, so I have to be careful.
"Asked, didn't you say it last night." Xiang Tianqi wondered.
"Oh." It seems that it's okay, otherwise he wouldn't say it in this tone, but he still has questions, and he is struggling with whether to ask, so his face is revealed.
Xiang Tianqi didn't quite understand it at first, but then looked around, and then thought about the question He Qiang asked just now, thinking if his attitude was a little wrong when he left last night.
"You guys because I wasn't happy when I left last night?" To know the problem and communicate effectively, you need to dare to express your thoughts.
Seeing everyone nodding, Xiang Tianqi was sure. So putting down the chopsticks, she decided to give them a brief talk first.
"I'm not trying to do more decks. I think there's a problem I'm missing. I wanted to take the time to talk to you all, so let's do it now. ”
"The business business, especially in the future, will become larger and larger, and the confidentiality measures will become more and more perfect, not to mention the core content. In the future, everyone should consciously do it. Be careful when talking when dealing with other people. Saying this, Xiang Tianqi glanced at a few people, saw that they were all listening carefully, and continued.
"I'm not worried about Heqiang and Hesheng, it's mainly with a few of you. People's hearts are very complicated, and sometimes one careless boat can capsize in the gutter. You haven't been in touch with it much yet, and it's getting bigger and bigger as Hutchison gets bigger and bigger. ”
Therefore, you must learn to be cautious when you come into contact with anyone in the future, and to carefully consider everything they say and do when dealing with people with ulterior motives. In this way, many man-made disasters can be avoided. ”
When Xiang Tianqi said these words, everyone thought of the nearest affordable noodle restaurant, so their expressions were very serious and a little frustrated. Seeing them like this, Xiang Tianqi didn't want to put so much pressure on them now, so he relaxed and said
"Don't be so serious, relax, this kind of thing is still far away from us. There is time for you to grow. Just our small shop now, who can look at it. As he spoke, he pinched the fingertips of his little finger and gestured.
Everyone gave her a roll of their eyes, noncommittal to her. No one can see how there can be an affordable noodle restaurant, but no one says it. I know what's going on in my heart, and I just need to do it in the future.
"Also, if you have anything in the future, you can say it directly, we are all a family, and it will be easy to solve the problem by saying it, holding it in your heart will only make you have more and more problems and find guilt for yourself."
After saying that, the topic changed.
"Okay, hurry up and eat, I've been hungry all night, and now I still talk such a long time, which takes physical strength." As he spoke, he grabbed his chopsticks and sandwiched the side dishes made by Cui Ying, ending the topic.
After eating, they are still busy with their own work. Xiang Tianqi couldn't be idle, so he ran to the kitchen to make the batter first.
"Hey, what is Xiao Qi doing in the kitchen?" Cui Ying saw Xiang Tianqi coming to the kitchen, a little strange.
"Oh, anyway, I'd like to make some batter first and use it at night." As he spoke, he pulled out the noodles and served them in a basin.
"Oh. Then I'll tell you well, this will be fine in a while. Cui Ying told Xiang Tianqi that she must know that Xiang Tianqi rarely does things, so she thought that Xiang Tianqi said this to let them do it for a while.
"No, I'm going to do it myself, or you're all busy, I'll just watch you busy. Well...... Or I'll pick vegetables or something later. ”
Xiang Tianqi felt that although he didn't like the fumes in the kitchen, he couldn't be idle like this, so he had to do something.
Cui Ying knew that Xiang Tianqi didn't like to go into the kitchen, and she could see that Xiang Tianqi was a little bored every day. However, because they were busy coming, they didn't think of calling Xiang Tianqi to help with the work. And they are just working hard, but Xiang Tianqi is tired and much more tired than them, so she thinks that she can make Xiang Tianqi more relaxed.
"We can do a few of these tasks, if you are bored, you can buy some drawing books to read, or go out for a walk."
"Draw a book? If you don't look at it, you can buy it for money, so you might as well buy more things. ”
Xiang Tianqi didn't waste money to buy those. Books are very expensive in this era, what are those picture books, or are they suitable for those rich ladies and ladies or something, she should forget it. Moreover, can the picture books here be compared to all kinds of novels of the 21st century?
When Cui Ying and the others heard this, they were very moved, Xiang Tianqi thought about them in everything he did, how fortunate he was to meet such a person in this life who could treat them so sincerely.
"Okay then, if you have more to do, we can do less work." Cui Ying's heart was moved, but she said witty words.
Xiang Tianqi boiled the water first, and after the water boiled, he put the flour in, stirred it a few times, and waited beside it.
When I felt that it was almost over, I removed the fire, got up and looked inside the pot, intending to put it out and let it dry.
This look was dumbfounded.
It's so sparse that you can't stick to anything at all!
Get the contents out of the pot, start the process again, and do it again.
As a result, it didn't take long for me to smell the smell of pasty pot.
A few people were busy in the kitchen, everyone staring at her with big eyes. People who don't understand how to make a batter and a pot for people who make the rice so delicious!
Xiang Tianqi smiled awkwardly at a few people.
"Hehe, mistakes, mistakes."
Cui Ying came over, looked at the contents of the pot, and then looked at the one she made just now, and smiled very unkindly with her mouth covered.
"Poof, Xiaoqi, you said that you can make such a complicated dish, and a batter will stump you. Ha ha. ”
Several other people were also curious about what Xiang Tianqi made the batter into, so they all came over to take a look.
As a result, after seeing it, they all behaved the same as Cuiying. I didn't expect that there were things that Xiang Tianqi couldn't do.
And Xiang Tianqi's face turned from embarrassment to blushing at this moment. I wonder when she Xiang Tianqi has ever had such a thing.
There were also these people in front of him, so someone said angrily, "Everyone doesn't know everything, what's wrong with not being able to make batter." As for being so funny. ”
As he spoke, he looked at Heqiu, who was laughing the most, and said gloomily
"If you laugh again, you'll be punished for cooking for an extra day!"
Hearing this, Kazuku immediately restrained his expression.
Tomorrow it's time for him to take charge, and one day he can't stand it a little, so let's do it another day......
Xiang Tianqi was very satisfied with Heqiu's performance, so he looked over one by one, and He Wang and the others were also afraid that Xiang Tianqi would use this to punish, so they slipped away after saying "I haven't finished my work yet".
When the few people were gone, Cui Ying stayed.
"Come on, I'll teach you." As he spoke, he took out the batter that had failed in the pot and washed the pot. Start doing it all over again.
"This batter, when you make it, stir it a little more, and the flour should be less at the beginning, otherwise you can only add water, and you will make more. When you see that the viscosity is almost there, you just need to stir it. Then you can remove the fire and wait for it to cool. ”
Cui Ying said and did at the same time, Xiang Tianqi watched seriously from the side, and nodded from time to time, like a good student.
Forgive her for making batter for the first time, and in modern times it still uses batter to stick things, and she's only heard that batter is supposed to do it, so she did it, and who knew it would be such a failure.
It didn't take long for it to be done, and Xiang Tianqi helped bring out the batter and put it aside. Then I went with Cui Ying to prepare today's ingredients.
Business has been improving in recent days, so more and more ingredients are being prepared. This also made Cui Ying and others see hope, and at the same time, they admired Xiang Tianqi even more.
It didn't take long for a few people to prepare their things and the guests arrived, and the busy day began again.
After dinner, Heqiang and Sheng returned. At the same time, he also brought back the things he needed to make cards.
Xiang Tianqi glanced at it, and even if the shopkeeper had a heart, not only did the rice paper let Heqiang bring back a very thick pile, but there was also a lot of rough paper. You can do something else with just that.
The shopkeeper said that this kind of raw pulp paper is easy to scratch, so use it carefully. And this paper can be used for other purposes, so I brought a lot of it back. ”
Xiang Tianqi nodded, she noticed it when she watched it yesterday. But the name ...... Think of the modern name of raw pulp and paper...... Shook his head.
You can also use batter and scissors to make cards, so He Qiang and He Sheng took the paper, and Xiang Tianqi began to do it.
She first cut the paper into pieces of paper that were 11 centimeters long and about 5 centimeters wide, took them in her hand and looked at the same, and then continued to cut a few sheets.
Because the pulp paper is relatively thick, the hardness is about the same after three or four pieces are glued together, and then a piece of rice paper of about the same size is cut, glued together, the model of the card is good, and then a simple pattern is drawn.
Xiang Tianqi drew a peach heart on it, and then thought about it and changed A to the Chinese character one here. I picked it up and looked at it, and I thought it was pretty good.
"How about a look?" Xiang Tianqi handed Cui Ying a few people and let them look at them.
"It looks good, but what are you doing here?" Cui Ying asked puzzled.
"There are 54 cards in this card, each with a number on it, one to thirteen. Plus two Big-and-Minor Ghosts. Xiang Tianqi explained briefly to them.
"Oh. If you don't know how to write, won't you be able to play? He Sheng asked casually, but asked the key point.
“……”
Now Xiang Tianqi has nothing to say.
She only remembers playing cards, forgetting that not everyone here has ever read a book, so most of them don't know Chinese characters.
"You should all be literate." If memory serves, they can write, and they can read. Although I feel strange about this phenomenon, it is precisely because of the strangeness that I remember it deeply.
A few people nodded.
"That's it, anyway, we're just playing by ourselves." Xiang Tianqi didn't plan to popularize this thing to the entire Daliang, so she didn't care if other people could play it.
"Okay, I'll cut the paper, and then you just glue the paper like you did just now."
After the division of labor, several people began to act.
