Chapter Forty-Eight: Departure

"Xiaoqi, what do you think this Chen Jixiang will be like when he goes back? What a shame for a man. Zhao Zimu shook his head helplessly, only feeling funny.

"I'm going to be beaten, but I'm finally clean." Mo Xiaoqi clapped his hands and walked towards the courtyard.

"Xiaoqi, you just said that you yearn for a lifetime and a couple?" Zhao Zimu raised his eyebrows and followed behind Mo Xiaoqi.

Mo Xiaoqi turned his head and said with a bitter smile: "Longing is yearning, this is like a dream, it can't be realized." ”

Zhao Zimu didn't speak, and the two walked back to the flower hall.

In the middle of the afternoon, Bai Xi brought back the news, saying that Chen Jixiang had been swept out of the house by the tigress.

"How so? Chen Jixiang is the head of the Chen family, why was he kicked out so easily? ”

Bai Xiyi waved his hand and said with a smile: "You don't know, this Chen Jixiang was originally a gangster on the underworld." Later, he married the daughter of the big brother of the underworld, that is, the tigress. ”

"Oh, so to speak, he made a fortune by clinging to his wife's house, and now he wants to kick his cousin again." Mo Xiaoqi said clearly.

Speaking of which, it's just another scumbag.

"Things are going on differently." Bai Xi was mysterious, "Mrs. Chen Jixiang, after taking him away, I immediately picked up a young man to the door." ”

"Poof......" Mo Xiaoqi squirted out the tea he had just sent to his mouth, "Amazing, talent." ”

"Who's to say it isn't! Don't look at the real performance yesterday, it is estimated that the tigress has already been outside. It's just that by taking this opportunity, with the paper resignation letter, she can kick Chen Jixiang openly. Bai Xi shook his head, only lamenting that the woman was terrible.

"Well, this king is still looking at her wrongly. I thought it was just a bulge, but I didn't expect it to be so. Zhao Zimu couldn't cry or laugh, he has always been very accurate in seeing people, but he can't understand Mo Xiaoqi, and then there is the tigress of Chen Jixiang's family.

In the end, it is a needle in a woman's heart, and if the sea does not dry up, there is no bottom.

In the next time, Mo Xiaoqi took care of the county's business and explained the future business direction.

Then he took all the silver tickets that could be used, and took Shu'er to follow Zhao Zimu to the capital.

On the day of leaving, Shu'er hugged Mrs. Bai and cried, and Mrs. Bai was distressed.

"Xiaoqi, look, or leave the child behind." Madame Bai hugged the tree, and the tree put her arms around her neck and did not let go.

"I also want to live with you all the time, but I have to go to the capital. Trees, I must take them with me. Mo Xiaoqi said apologetically.

"Hey, you have big ambitions, different from us, go ahead." Mrs. Bai hugged Shu'er to Mo Xiaoqi, "Shu'er, when grandma has time, I will definitely go to the capital to see you." ”

"Then grandma is not allowed to lie to the tree." The tree pumped and hitched, and finally got into the carriage.

"Shu'er, don't cry, there is a mother. When you arrive in the capital, your godfather is here. "The thing that Mo Xiaoqi has been worried about in his heart is Zhao Hongyi's delay in returning.

Shu'er wiped her tears, hugged her mother tightly, and whispered: "Well, as long as there is a mother's mother, Shu'er is not afraid of anything." ”

Mo Xiaoqi patted Shu'er's back gently, and couldn't help but think of his son who stayed in modern times, and he didn't know how he was doing.

But it's useless to think too much, you can't expect that kid to be struck in front of you with a thunderbolt, right?

"Xiaoqi, it's already noon, do you want to stop and eat something?" Zhao Zimu rode a white horse and opened the curtain of the carriage with one hand.

"Shh......h The trees slept. Mo Xiaoqi made a silent gesture, "I'm hungry too, just stop and eat something." ”

Although Zhao Zimu brought the guards with him, he still handed over the cooking to Mo Xiaoqi, because the guards really didn't know how to mess with Mo Xiaoqi's things.

"Xiaoqi, what are you doing here?" Zhao Zimu was also at a loss, and he went out and stopped in the wild on weekdays, just to eat some dry food and roast some game.

But this Mo Xiaoqi can really make a mess, and he actually steamed the rice in less than a quarter of an hour, and he was amazed.

"Well, let's eat." Mo Xiaoqi handed the covered large porcelain bowl to Zhao Zimu.

"Xiaoqi, what are you cooking? How can it be so fast? Zhao Zimu opened the lid as he spoke, and it turned out to be rice, vegetables and meat.

"It's just a normal meal." Mo Xiaoqi said casually.

Zhao Zimu looked at the food in the bowl carefully, and couldn't believe it: "It's impossible, but it's just a quarter of an hour, how can you cook well?" ”

"When I was in the county, I steamed the rice, dried it in the sun, and dried it thoroughly. In the wild, as long as you boil a pot of boiling water and soak it in sun-dried rice, the boiling water will soak the dried rice grains in less than a quarter of an hour, and the water will be absorbed, and it will naturally become rice. Mo Xiaoqi explained, while scooping out a little translucent sun-dried rice grain from the wooden barrel on the side and showing it to Zhao Zimu.

"If you use the sun, won't it be sunburned?" Zhao Zimu didn't believe it.

"No, when the sun is hot enough, it dries in a short time and allows the water to evaporate." Mo Xiaoqi handed Zhao Zimu chopsticks again.

"Eat it, it'll be cold in a while."

"And the meat and vegetables in this bowl?" Zhao Zimu also didn't understand, how could he take raw meat on the road?

Mo Xiaoqi smiled: "You don't think I brought raw meat, right?" It is a large, thin cut of jerky, marinated and air-dried, air-dried along with the boiled vegetables, and then put into a sealed jar. When you want to eat it, take it out and boil it in water before pouring it into the rice. ”

"Xiaoqi, you are really a good blue heart." Zhao Zimu couldn't help but praise.

"The solution is thought up by people, and it is better than gnawing dry food every day." Mo Xiaoqi also left a bowl of rice for Shu'er as he spoke, but at this time, Shu'er was sleeping in the carriage.

Zhao Zimu couldn't help but sigh: "It would be nice if the army could also eat such convenient food." "It is true that sometimes when the army fights, they go out for a few days and bring dry food, so that they can't even pull out the stool.

But Mo Xiaoqi shook his head and said, "Although it is very convenient, the army will not adopt it." ”

"Oh? How can it be seen that such a convenient food is naturally the first choice for fighting wars and can save a lot of time. Zhao Zimu raised his eyebrows and said.

But Mo Xiaoqi smiled and said, "It's not that it doesn't apply, but it can't be used." ”

"Why?" Zhao Zimu was puzzled.

"When the army fights, you must have enough patience and perseverance, and you may go out for many days with dry food. If something is too tasty, they will just eat it up early. As far as the army that fights the war is concerned, the food is not delicious, but hungry. Isn't it faster to nibble on dry food than to eat this? Mo Xiaoqi's unique insights impressed Zhao Zimu, this woman is extraordinary.

"What about when you're not fighting?" Zhao Zimu asked again.

"When you're not fighting, it's better to eat freshly cooked food. The human body needs vitamins and proteins, and you can't eat these things all the time. Mo Xiaoqi said casually.

"Vitamins? Protein? Zhao Zimu raised his eyebrows, he really couldn't understand what this woman was saying.
