Chapter 0428, Midnight Supper
Li Huaixiao's meaning Xiao Qing understands that the new wine is packed in an old leather bag, which is easy to break.
"What can you two do, I definitely can't wait for seven or eight days!" Xiao Qing cut the railway.
The Li brothers, Ma Xian and the others were silent.
After a while, Xiao Qing said: "In this way, let's make up the first three caves, and the biggest hole at the end, I'll go find someone to find a way, and you start to make a fire as soon as possible the day after tomorrow, what do you think?" ”
Remove the largest hole, and burn the remaining three together, which should be enough for the palace.
The Li brothers and a few older veterans lowered their heads and contemplated for a while, the day after tomorrow is too rushed.
"Okay, Shopkeeper Xiao, let's go and prepare to mend the hole!" Ma Xian took the lead.
I'm afraid I don't have time to rest in the past two days, if you want to complete it in three days, if you don't do it overnight, it can't be completed, and several old men looked at each other.
"This man ......," Li Huaijin asked.
"Don't worry, I'll go to the village tomorrow morning to find someone, thirteen or fourteen, is it enough?" Xiao Qing asked.
The Li brothers nodded together and said in unison, "Enough!" ”
Xiao Qing smiled, after seeing that Ma first arranged the division of labor, she did not leave, she followed a master to help fetch water and mud and pour straw, because the headdress and clothes were in the way, she tore the skirt, tied the extra skirt around her waist, put the headdress aside, and followed a few people to do it!
The Li brothers didn't expect Xiao Qing to do it himself, how could a woman do these dirty work.
Li Huai came in to Xiao Qing and wanted to take the bamboo basket in her hand: "Shopkeeper Xiao, this work is dirty, how can you do this clothes, just watch from the side, let's come!" ”
"It's okay, I'll help you together, if you don't do well, you just have to say, I'll learn to do it!" Xiao Qing thought about letting them work in the middle of the night, and he couldn't help it: "In the past few days, I want you to work overnight, I don't want to go, and the two brothers worry a lot!" ”
Some things are given afterwards to be recognized by others, and others did not expect you to give extra materials, but after a few days, they will come up with the idea that if this idea is to be suppressed for two days, when the time comes, she will give it, and they will die for you.
Li Huaijin smiled: "Working for Shopkeeper Xiao is a blessing for our brothers!" ”
Xiao Qing pursed her lips and smiled, but she didn't speak, she saw that more than a dozen people who came with her started to work with shovels and buckets, as well as brick knives, she put down the work in her hand and went outside.
Ma Xian smiled: "This work is dirty, the little county lord can't stay for a moment, she goes out and we are also energetic." ”
"Yes, she's here, and my brothers are uncomfortable working, haha!" Li Huaixiao smiled heartily.
For a long time, no one knew where Xiao Qing had gone, and Ma Xian and the others thought that she had returned to the capital.
When it was ugly, Li Huaijin was grunting with hunger, walking lightly, and he had no strength to carry a mud bag.
"Oh my God, I'm hungry, I'm so hungry! How many times has your stomach barked, brother, why do you still have the strength? ”
Li Huaixiao smiled bitterly: "Brother, I'm dizzy from hunger, I didn't want to eat at night, and I've been working for so long, I've long been on my chest and back." ”
Ma Xian also rubbed his stomach and screamed hungry.
A few people became more and more hungry, and endured it for a while, trying to make mud, and finally seven or eight people couldn't hold it anymore.
"Brother Ma Xian, you go buy something to eat for us, I'm so hungry!" Several descendants of the Liang family.
Ma Xian laughed and said, "Buy something to eat?" It's the middle of the night, not the day, and besides, we're outside the city, where do we have food? ”
"I can't do it, I can't do it anymore!" Zhang Qiang was tired and picked up directly, fell to the ground, and didn't want to get up.
When the others saw Zhang Qiang falling, they sat on the ground one after another, not moving.
"I'm too tired to do it anymore, I want to rest and rest......"
"I can't do it anymore!"
Several people fell one after another.
Ma Xian also sat down to rest, as if his spirit had been withdrawn.
At this time, the smell of stir-fried vegetables in pork lard came from nowhere.
"Oh my God, who is still frying such fragrant dishes in the middle of the night, it's so fragrant! This dish is cooked in lard! Li Huaixiao stood at the door and said loudly.
The others also smelled it one after another, and the hunger became even stronger, Ma Xian sighed: "The land of Shangjing, it is really different, in the middle of the night, there are still people who get up to cook, do people in Beijing eat so early?" ”
"Shangjing is full of gold, and silver and gold are picked up from the ground!" Li Huaijin said with a smile.
"Haha......" several people laughed together.
Another smell of food came, and several people swallowed their saliva, thinking about what kind of food this person cooked, which was different from the smell of Lao Qiao's food.
Just as they were talking about the meal, Xiao Qing came with two large baskets.
She saw the crowd fall and gasp for breath, knowing they were tired.
But when Ma Xian and the others saw her coming, they were so frightened that they quickly stood up and explained: "Auntie, my brothers are a little tired, lie down and rest, so get up and continue to do it." ”
Several other people stood up one after another, and continued to work with weak picks.
Xiao Qing smiled, took off his sleeves and said: "Ma Xian, you let them rest for a while, I made something to eat, I don't know if it's enough, you eat something first, it's not too late to do it after eating!" ”
She handed the basket to Ma Xian: "A few of you have been working here all night, come and eat something and then do it!" ”
Ma walked over first, and the Li brothers put down their work and walked over.
When they approached, Xiao Qing quietly retreated, not watching them eat.
She doesn't need to say much about the rest of the matter, just believe that Ma will be with them first!
Xiao Qing went to Xishan Village to wash his hands, cleaned up the kitchen again, and then lay down in front of the dry pyre and slept for a while.
Mo slept for more than two hours, and when it was almost dawn, she went to the village to find someone.
It took half an hour and a high price to find about ten helpers to arrange things here.
Xiao Qing saw that the time was over, and remembering the agreement with He Mingli, she rode on her horse and rushed to the capital.
Her headdress and body were muddy and dirty, and she didn't have time to go home and wash up, so she had to go over like this.
……
In the box of Qingfeng Restaurant, He Mingli still came to the box last time, and after being smashed last time, the shopkeeper Jiang re-repaired, and it looked much better than before.
He Mingli invited a white-faced hairpin in brocade to drink the best tea.
"You don't come out often, the taste here is much better than before, now the two most famous tastes in the capital, one is the breeze, the other is the hangover, the taste of these two restaurants is really fragrant, wait for you to eat two bites and you will understand!" He Mingli said with a sincere smile.
The white-faced Xiaosheng raised his left eyebrow slightly, glanced at the tea bowl at hand, saw that it was white jade porcelain, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he took a sip of the tea bowl with confidence.
"Hmm...... This tea tastes astringent! ”
"Steward Su, you are often by the side of the concubine, and the tea you use is naturally the best, where is the thing here comparable to the palace, today you have been wronged for this trip!" He Mingli smiled politely.
