Chapter Forty-Six: Encountering a Crazy Old Man on the Street Again
"Hehe," Qiao Linxi smirked a few times, "Who dares to marry like me, whoever marries me means that he has to take care of my eighteen younger brothers and sisters, and men are not stupid." As I said, we are not peerless beauties, or talented women, and we don't have the capital to make a man willingly marry a woman with eighteen younger brothers and sisters. β
After speaking, Qiao Linxi took Qiao Linle back to the kitchen and began to make gnocchi soup, the noodles were brought by the man just now, and she had already eaten the ones she bought last night.
Originally, I wanted to use the leftover soup to eat with the steamed buns in the system, but the old lady was here, and she didn't want to expose her secret, so she could only go to the noodles.
After reconciling the noodles, Qiao Linxi asked Qiao Linqin to wash the meat, and she kneaded the noodles into small pieces and threw them in the pot.
Qiao Linxi in the previous life can be said to be the master of ten fingers that do not touch the spring water, but when he arrives here, not only has to worry about what to eat every day, but also has to cook for more than ten or twenty people, Qiao Linxi is bitter.
Qiao Linxi watched Qiao Linqin wash the meat while pulling the dough block, and the water in the vat was still automatically full. The landlady saw Qiao Linxi staring at the water tank, and she didn't explain.
After kneading the noodles, Qiao Linxi began to cut the meat again, and the group of children in the kitchen kept chattering, which made Qiao Linxi feel an inexplicable sense of warmth.
"I'm going to eat a big bowl in the morning."
"I'm going to eat my bowl so big, bigger than yours."
"Then I'm going to eat such a big bowl."
"I really want to eat such a big bowl, but my brother said I can't eat it until I grow up."
"We girls can't eat so much, otherwise we'll become fat."
"Nonsense, Sister Lin Xi said, our old Qiao family's genes are very good, so every girl will look good. You look at Sister Lin Xi, she looks good. β
"That's because she hasn't married yet, you look at the cuihua in our village, she wasn't very good-looking before she got married, and after she got married, she had a child, and she became a big fat woman."
Qiao Linxi: Will she become a fat woman in the future?
"Nonsense, my sister won't get married and won't become a fat woman." Qiao Linqi ran over and hugged Qiao Linxi's legs.
"That's it, my sister is like a fairy, no one is worthy of her." Qiao Linshu was not to be outdone, and hugged Qiao Linxi's other leg.
Qiao Lingji said: "I think that Mr. Zhao and Sister Xiao are very good-looking, Sister Lin Xi will definitely like them." β
"Nonsense, my sister doesn't look down on them. The person who can be worthy of my sister must be like an immortal, very gentle, very spoiled for my sister, and will not let my sister be wronged. β
"Go, go," Qiao Linxi kicked his feet: "You two stinky boys stay aside." β
How old are these kids? I'm worried about her marriage.
The old lady, who had been standing by and listening to the children, was also happy when she heard this: "You are all looking forward to your sister getting married?" β
"Girls are going to get married when they grow up."
"Girl, do you have someone you like? If not, can I introduce one to you? β
Qiao Linxi said: She is only fourteen years old, so she shouldn't get married so early.
"Don't bother grandma, my younger brothers and sisters are still young, and I won't get married."
The gnocchi in the pot was cooked, Qiao Linxi's meat was also cut, and after all the gnocchi was served, Qiao Linxi put the meat in.
The fire in the stove was very strong, and as soon as the pork belly went, it made a sizzling sound, and a unique aroma of meat immediately wafted out.
"It's so fragrant, this meat looks delicious."
"Of course it's delicious, and you don't see who made it. My sister is a fairy. The dishes she makes are definitely delicious. β
Qiao Linxi glanced at Qiao Linqi: "Sycophant." β
Considering that the landlord and the old lady had bad teeth, Qiao Qiao Linxi cut off the pork skin and fried it separately, and the meat for the old lady was not fried too dry, so it was softer.
"It's a pleasure to watch you cook, girl. My yard has never been so lively. β
The meat was also good, and a group of children sat at the dining table in a regular manner and waited for Qiao Linxi to sit down before starting the meal.
Needless to say, all the children took the initiative to do a thanksgiving ceremony, although they didn't know what the use of doing this was, but they knew that Qiao Linxi liked them to do it, so they did it.
When the old lady saw it, she couldn't help but sigh, "You children, you are really simple." A person who knows how to be grateful is lucky all his life. β
"Wow, sister, this meat is so fragrant, the appearance is golden, and the meat inside is still very tender. When you bite into it, your mouth is full of oil. It's delicious. β
"Delicious, delicious."
The gnocchi is firm and smooth, the pork belly is crispy, and the two different textures collide together and merge into two words: delicious.
For a person who cooks, the greatest happiness is not how delicious the dishes are, but the fact that all the meals he has made are eaten. In addition, there is no need to wash the dishes.
Brushing dishes has never been a problem for Qiao Linxi to consider, so many children can brush themselves without a minute. So Qiao Linxi went out after eating, she planned to go around the street to see what business opportunities there were, and find a suitable stall by the way.
After Qiao Linxi went out, Qiao Linshan also went out with a few girls, they had money in their hands and wanted to buy something for girls.
Qiao Linxi, who went out, knew that her idea was too naΓ―ve, in this environment, it was difficult for the locals in Lanqingcheng to do business, let alone an outsider like her.
To do business, one pays attention to character, the other pays attention to goods, and the most important thing is to connect. Don't say that the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, any business needs to be promoted, and connections are the top priority.
Like Qiao Linxi, who just came yesterday, even if he finds a suitable shop, he will be able to pay for it.
However, Qiao Linxi found that the people in Lan Qingcheng seemed to like listening to music very much, and the door of the teahouse was full of idle people. But you need to pay for tea to enter the teahouse, and those who don't have money can only listen outside.
They have so many children, can they arrange some programs in exchange for some money?
"Daughter-in-law, fairy daughter-in-law......"
Yesterday, the crazy old man suddenly came out and came to Qiao Linxi, startling her.
"Playing music......" The old man held a red cloth in his hand, raised it and shook it, and hummed in his mouth.
"Daughter-in-law, I'm here to marry you......"
The old man approached Qiao Linxi and looked at Qiao Linxi with a mouthful of black teeth: "Let's go home." β
"Ye Jinglai ......"
This familiar voice made Qiao Linxi's back cold, and before he could think about it, a white figure fell from the sky. That's right, it just floated down from above, stunned Qiao Linxi.
"I've been looking for you for so many years, and you're hiding here and pretending to be crazy and stupid......"
Qiao Linxi saw that the situation was not good, so she spread her legs and ran, but there was a voice behind her that made her legs and stomach weak.
