Chapter 208

She couldn't help but take another sip, and then slowly said: "It's really delicious."

"Sweet but not greasy, people who are not addicted to sugar will not object to drinking it."

"The porridge is very thick, with so many ingredients, it's really not easy to stew every ingredient until it's mushy."

The nanny who served the old lady nodded and agreed: "Each kind of bean has different degrees of softness and firmness, and the time to soak and stew is also different."

"This bowl of porridge has put a lot of effort into it. What the lady said is true. Today is our lucky day."

Everyone praised each other, and they were full of praise for Laba porridge.

The Cao family didn't pay attention to Zhao Jia's livid face at the moment.

She grabbed her handkerchief resentfully, as if she wanted to tear it up before giving up.

This scene did not escape Chang Xi's bright eyes.

She could only sigh in her heart, the little girl's jealousy was terrible.

When leaving Cao's house, Chang Xi got their Laba porridge and cakes in return.

After being sent to the door by Steward Cao to exchange pleasantries, Zhao Jia didn't expect that Zhao Jia would not give up. He was difficult to speak in front of his elders just now, but now he deliberately chased him out.

Zhao Jia stared at her round eyes angrily: "Chang Xi, this name doesn't suit you at all, you don't like it at all."

Chang Xi snorted and sneered when she heard the words, she did not respond with words, but to Zhao Jia, it was like hitting soft cotton with her fist.

It seemed that she was the only one who was furious, and others ignored her.

Zhao Jia was not convinced, she was just a little girl from the countryside, why should everyone praise her?

She thought for a while and said, "Don't think that if my grandma and aunt like your Laba porridge, you can be proud."

"What's so great about being able to cook something?"

"My cousin is a talented man, and he will only marry ladies from official families in the future. I advise you not to have illusions."

"My cousin is the cloud in the sky, you are the mud trampled under your feet, the cloud and the mud can never be together, do you understand?"

Chang Xi saw that she was silent, but the other party became more and more provocative. She was compared to mud by others, so she was not in a good mood.

Immediately, she gave her a sharp glance: "Whether I am mud or not, it is not up to you to judge."

"Furthermore, the major matters of our marriage are decided by our parents."

Chang Xi raised his eyebrows: "How do you know that Cao Xiucai will match the official family? Are you his elder? You can already make decisions for him?"

elder?

Of course she, Zhao Jia, is no longer an elder!

That said, it was just to let the wild girl retreat in the face of difficulties.

Didn't expect that she would choke with herself out of nowhere?

Zhao Jia was so annoyed by her rhetorical question.

The little girl started twisting the handkerchief again, obviously she was about the same age as Cao Jingxiu, but she behaved exactly like Wang Chunyan.

Looking at it makes people feel childish.

Chang Xi said in a less polite way:
"Miss Zhao, you claim to be a lady of an official family, so please behave in a manner that is worthy of this status."

Then the voice was faint, as if it was a warning: "Others make the uninformed people in the country think that the daughters from the city are all like you, baring their teeth and claws, and don't know the etiquette when getting along with others."

These are all my sincere words, and I didn't avoid answering them because of the presence of Steward Cao, or exchanged gentle words.

She didn't intend to be gentle with Zhao Jia's repeated provocations.

In order not to be misunderstood that he is easy to be bullied, he pushed his nose on his face again.After saying these words, Chang Xi turned around and left.

She didn't know what Zhao Jia was going crazy behind, anyway, Zhao Jia probably wanted to chase her out to beat her, but was stopped by someone.

From the beginning to the end, Chang Xi never looked back.

When she got home, the noise gradually subsided and became inaudible.

Just as his butt was on the bench, before he had time to sit on the heat, there was a knock on the door of his own house. Seeing that the brothers in the family were not there, he thought they had come back.

Chang Xi trotted to open the door, how could he know that he hadn't seen his father for a long time.

"Father?!" The tone was full of surprise.

Chang Sanshi's hands were full of things, and the fur collar on his shoulders was covered with fine snow.

The thick eyebrows were dyed with a layer of snow white, because the snowflakes fell and froze on the eyebrows.

Chang Xi didn't dislike her father's coldness, and took the initiative to give her a big hug! ! !

While hugging, she sighed: "Father, you are finally back."

Chang Sanshi smiled innocently, and put his arms around his daughter with no extra arms.

Just let her hug her and say, "Come in, it's cold outside."

Chang Xi obediently let go, took some things, and helped carry them into the kitchen. She found that her father brought back a lot of pork, beef and mutton.

"Father, why did you come back suddenly?"

"Bought so much meat, can our family finish it?"

"Hey, isn't this Laba coming? After Laba is the new year, Manxianglou is on holiday, let us go back to work after the seventh day of the lunar new year."

"Wow!" Chang Xi opened his eyes wide in surprise, and stopped hanging the meat.

"Based on this, wouldn't it be nearly a month's rest?"

Chang Sanshi nodded affirmatively: "That's right, Manxianglou usually doesn't have long holidays, and everyone asks for leave for business."

"Only during the New Year, when every household closes their doors and Manxianglou's business is cold, will we let us rest."

Chang Xi listened, thought for a while, and then hummed twice.

"No fakes are usually given, which also proves from the side that Manxianglou's business is really good, otherwise there would be no fakes."

Chang Sanshi also deeply agrees: "Yes, you can earn money only by working hard. This is because Manxianglou is well managed, so we are busy."

Chang Sanshi was very happy, and took out all the things he brought.

It's really something to eat during the Chinese New Year, and I bought a lot in sevens and eights.

The man is strong, and he carried a lot of them back on his back, saving them the effort to go to the town to buy again.

When he took out the bright red paper, his smile became brighter.

"I know you've all practiced handwriting. We'll write this year's Spring Festival couplets and blessings by ourselves, so we won't bother Master."

Following these words, Chang Xi searched the original owner's memory, and found out that almost every household in Taihang Village had pasted the master's calligraphy for the New Year.

She hummed with a smile: "Okay! Listen to Dad!"

Chang Sanshi went back to his room to change clothes, and when he came out again, Chang Xi had already put everything back.

I saw her father holding a few wooden sticks in his hand.

She recognized it at a glance. It was the toothbrush she had given Uncle Fang last time.

Chang Sanshi held a toothbrush in his hand, waved to Chang Xi, and opened his throat at this moment.

"Look, I came home only to be happy, and almost forgot the important things that shopkeeper Fang told me."

"He asked me to come back and ask, is it the toothbrush you mentioned?"

"Since listening to your suggestion, shopkeeper Fang has hired many carpenters to make toothbrushes, and only then can he make a batch of toothbrushes."

"Said it was done strictly according to your description."

Saying that, Chang Sanshi handed it out carefully, staring at Xibao nervously to see the reaction.

Shopkeeper Fang put a lot of thought into it, and he saw it all.

If you don't do it well, your efforts will be in vain.
