Chapter Forty-Six: Rumors
Tang Xiaowu's face was distorted by anger, and he gritted his teeth and looked at Tang Xiaoqi in front of him, eager to eat her alive.
Tang Xiaoqi looked at her as if she was about to pounce, and was really ready to fight back, but Tang Xiaoqi just smiled cheaply, snorted coldly and walked away.
Tang Xiaoqi looked at the other party's distant figure with a puzzled face, the second monk was puzzled, he didn't know what she was crazy again, so he could only think that the other party had eaten the wrong thing.
Walking on the road, Tang Xiaoqi was going to go to the mountains to see what medicinal materials could be collected, but the previous ones were taken away by the county order, and he had to quickly fill up the inventory.
I met a lot of people on the way into the mountain, and I don't know why, Tang Xiaoqi always felt that although they greeted her with a smile, they kept whispering after they left.
Tang Xiaoqi rolled his eyes, walked forward quickly, and quickly flashed to the side when he reached the fork in the road, everyone saw that she was gone, and the discussion became louder, and Tang Xiaoqi had quietly detoured at this time.
"I really know people and faces, I don't know my heart, Xiao Qi looks honest, I didn't expect it to be this kind of person."
"What's unexpected, she is good-looking, it's not easy to hook up with a few men" The person who said this also showed a clear expression"
"That is, her family is so poor, although the county order was rich before, but in the end, it was the life of his wife, she was so old, of course she didn't want to, but now it's different, that noble man is young and rich, she naturally holds on to it."
Tang Xiaoqi was furious when he heard this, and the next second he wanted to jump out and teach them a lesson, so that they could know that they couldn't talk nonsense.
But after thinking about it, there were no such words when Mo Junze lived in her house before, and now that a while has passed, she is gone, how can there still be these words, thinking about Tang Xiaowu's smile, Tang Xiaoqi understood.
"Wait, see how I clean you up after that." Tang Xiao grinded his teeth and whispered.
Now it's important to go and collect medicine, a little gossip, and when she cleans up Tang Xiaowu, it will naturally be solved, but she is still angry when she hears them say this.
Looking at the clods of soil around him, Tang Xiaoqi hid behind the big stone and smashed it at them.
"Oops! My head. ”
"Ahh My nose"
"The mud, this is my new clothes, my God."
Everyone couldn't stop wailing, but seeing that there was no one around, they looked at each other for a while, and each ran away with a weak heart.
Tang Xiaoqi clapped his hands, snorted, turned around and walked towards the mountain.
After a short time, he arrived at the bottom of the mountain, and Tang Xiaoqi tightened his back basket and went up the mountain.
It's autumn now, it's the season of fruiting, Tang Xiaoqi has seen a lot of fruits before he sees the herbs, and he doesn't need to climb trees, he just touches a stone on the ground to knock down the fruits.
The ground is full of dead leaves, even if the fruit falls, there will be no problem, Tang Xiaoqi is looking for herbs while beating the fruit, it is hot and dry in autumn, it is easy to catch fire, she wants to pick some honeysuckle and go back to make tea for her family to drink.
Tang Xiaoqi didn't walk for a while before he saw the herbs he wanted, and hurriedly went over to pick them, and just put them in the back basket when he saw a big jujube tree not far away, the jujube was hanging all over the branches, pressing the branches very low, and he could pick them without raising his hand.
Tang Xiaoqi came to the jujube tree, picked one and wiped it with a handkerchief and put it in her mouth, a smell of jujube fragrance and sweetness immediately filled her mouth, and she squinted her eyes unconsciously.
Tang Xiaoqi finished eating the dates with a happy face, and licked her lips unsatisfied, it's not that the dates are really a peerless delicacy, it's just that she has been in this world for so long, and she hasn't eaten any desserts, so she wants to go crazy.
Looking at the jujube tree, Tang Xiaoqi was like seeing gold, and kept putting the dates into the back basket, until she couldn't hold it anymore, she sighed in disappointment, picked up the basket and prepared to go back.
Looking at the jujube tree behind him, Tang Xiaoqi decided to call Tang Xiaojiu together tomorrow, such a good jujube, of course, he can pick as many as he wants.
Walking a lot slower with the basket on his back, Tang Xiaoqi met Li and Bai's father on the way back, and they were also very surprised when they looked at Tang Xiaoqi's back basket.
"Xiao Qi, you picked so many dates, where did you come?"
"Mother, I was picking medicine in the mountains, and I happened to run into it, so naturally I can't miss it."
Father Bai was silent, and just took the basket behind Tang Xiaoqi.
"But there are too many dates here, and our family can't finish them." Li said with a sad face.
"Mother, don't worry," Tang Xiaoqi patted his chest, "It's not good to eat dry, but I can make jujube mud cakes, and keep them delicious." ”
"Jujube mud cake, what is that, it's worthy of going to the city, my mother hasn't heard of jujube mud cake." Li said and relaxed.
"No, mother, there are so many fruits on the mountain, no one uses it to make pastries?" Tang Xiaoqi's eyes widened.
Li Shi hurriedly shook his head and said, "How can the fruits on the mountain be made into pastries, then only big families will make such precious things." ”
Tang Xiaoqi couldn't help it anymore when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Have you ever eaten any desserts?" ”
"Dessert? Where has your mother eaten those things, the sweetest thing I have ever eaten is the honey that your father brought me from the mountains. ”
Tang Xiaoqi couldn't hear Li's voice anymore, and his whole body was filled with a happy atmosphere.
"Yes, I'm stupid, this is ancient, desserts are difficult for nobles to eat, there are so many modern tricks, in this case, if I can open a dessert shop, wouldn't it be a lot of money."
The more he thought about it, the happier he became, Tang Xiaoqi couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, and even his steps became brisk.
Li and Bai's father saw that Tang Xiaoqi was so happy, and their hearts were much more relaxed.
When he got home, Tang Xiaojiu had already returned, Li was preparing to make dinner, and Tang Xiaoqi was preparing to make the ingredients for jujube cake.
Tang Xiaoqi walked up to Tang Xiaojiu and asked, "Xiaojiu, do you want to eat super delicious pastries?" ”
Tang Xiaojiu swallowed his saliva and nodded quickly.
"Well, well, I knew you wanted to eat it too, but I can't eat it yet." Tang Xiaoqi deliberately hung his appetite and said.
"Why?" Sure enough, hearing this, Tang Xiaojiu became anxious.
Tang Xiaoqi showed a deceitful smile and said: "Because there are still some things that have not been done, as long as I am alone, it will definitely take a long time, if you want to eat it soon, then should you come to help?" ”
Tang Xiaojiu was really fooled, "What's the hurry, you say, I will definitely be able to do it." ”
"In that case, then please wash and chop the basket of dates." Tang Xiaoxiao raised her sister to the place where she pointed her finger, and when she saw such a big basket, her whole face turned green.
