bad, i'm a fool

Chapter 404 Little Kai

"Several, I cooked some shrimp and crab porridge, let's have a supper to keep out the cold."

The door was opened, and Zhang Siqiao walked in with a casserole pot. The hot white porridge inside was steaming, and the aroma immediately hit the nostrils.

"Sister, where did you learn this skill? That building probably won't teach you this, right?"

Zhang Sihai also knew what his sister was thinking, so instead of avoiding talking about the time in Yihonglou, he might as well put it on the table.

"This is much better than what you cooked for me when I was a child!"

Zhang Siqiao was indeed not annoyed, she kicked Zhang Sihai in feigned anger, and then opened the chair and sat next to them: "This is indeed a skill learned in Yihong Building, and there is a story behind it."

"story!"

Furry finally got interested, and hurriedly opened his eyes wide: "What's the story? The female ghost in Yihong Mansion? Or which one is the scholar haunted by?"

Zhang Siqiao smiled, and while sharing the porridge with everyone, he started talking.

--------

When I entered Hailou, I was still very young.

Girls who have just entered the building are not on the stage, and they always have to be in the same class as other sisters, take care of their makeup, and learn a little bit from them.

The girls who teach us are our older sisters, and every older sister has also been a younger sister, and will always teach them the secret of living more comfortably in the building.

At that time, my sister taught me a lot and treated me well. She taught me how to play the piano, how to look at men, how to persuade me to drink, and how to choose makeup.

These are things that younger sisters have to learn, but there is one thing that I have never seen other older sisters teach their younger sisters.

"At this time, the shredded ginger should be thinner, and the porridge should be hot enough to put. The taste of ginger is not from stewing, but from boiling. If the temperature is not enough when it is put into the pot, it will never be enough."

When she was talking to me, she took off her gauze and skirt, and leaned against the stove in the back kitchen wearing cloth clothes.

I prepared the makeup powder for my sister. She flaunted it all day, but finally took off the makeup powder and taught me how to make porridge.

"Sister, what are you cooking porridge for?"

Now that I think about it, my question is really naive, but I am really curious about the way behind it.

After hearing this, my sister looked at me with some relief, and said with a smile: "At the beginning, I also asked my sister this question. Her nickname is Lan Hanying, and she also taught me this porridge."

Everyone's flower name is wine, but Qiu Hanying is more like a medicinal wine, which few people like to drink.

The aroma of porridge began to permeate, and my sister went on to say:
"Heavy makeup and colorful clothes, of course these men like them. Their looks and figures, as well as their skill in piano and chess, can attract many people."

She suddenly paused, and asked me: "But in this building, why do you do the hours every day?"

Doing time, that is, accompanying guests, is of course for making money, I answered her this way.

"What is the purpose of earning money?" My sister asked me again.

I froze for a moment, lowered my head and said:
"To get out of here."

My sister laughed, her lips were red and her teeth were white, and she rubbed my head: "Yes, if you make money, you can go out from here, but if you meet someone who loves you enough, maybe you can also leave here. "

And who volunteered to come to Jianhai Tower?
Just like I am for the sake of the world, seeing the sisters in the sea building knows that I am contemptible, but there is always hope for this.

"So it's porridge. People who like you like your skin, but my sister relied on a bowl of porridge back then."

My sister turned around and started stirring the porridge in the pot.

She cooks porridge with lean meat, wooden fish flower and yuba, which is very fragrant.

"My elder sister attracted people to look at her all night long, but what attracted the attention of the man was the bowl of porridge my elder sister cooked for him in the morning after they had been drinking for a long time."

When my sister told this story, her face was full of longing.

When I was a little girl, of course I also yearned for such a story.

"Is that man in love with her?" I asked.

My sister nodded.

"Is that man rich?" I asked again.

Jianhai Tower is such a place. For a little girl, one of the most important issues must be money.

My sister nodded again.

So I envied: "Then she must be redeemed."

But the elder sister shook her head: "No, she doesn't have to entertain guests when she stays here in Jianhai Tower, she just stays here and occasionally brings my younger sister along."

"Why?" I couldn't figure it out.

My sister smiled: "Because the man who fell in love with my sister was the shopkeeper here at the time, Lord Xiao Kai of Daqimen."

Master Xiao Kai, I know that before Master Fa Cai, there was such a shopkeeper who lived in legends in Jian Hai Lou.

I heard that he is the younger brother of the rich young master, and he is far less harsh on the girls in the building than the rich young master. Now that I think about it, it is probably thanks to this sister named Lan Hanying.

A shopkeeper fell in love with a girl in the building, so can this girl be the proprietress?
Of course not, one end is the successor of the majestic Daqimen, and the other is a mule slave who earns money for the Daqimen.

But Mr. Kai seems to be such a rebellious person. He is not married, let alone Lan Hanying. Later, he even lived directly in the Jianhai Tower, and had a pot meal with everyone. He heard that everyone called Lan Hanying sister. He ran up and down the building all day long, even helping the clerks, but when the guests who made trouble saw the third young master of Daqimen watching the scene in person, they often didn't dare to make trouble.

"At that time, everyone was really easy to do. It seemed that as long as you drank two more glasses of wine, you would really have a chance to go out from Jianhai Tower, or meet a man like Xiao Kaiye like Sister Hanying."

My sister's eyes were shining, and I could smell the porridge, which was delicious and caring.

I know a businessman from Youzhou who has eaten his sister's porridge more than once.

I naturally knew that my sister would have a little expectation in her heart, hoping that he could take me away.

"But I haven't seen Sister Lan Hanying?"

Not only sister Qiu Hanying, I have never seen that little Kai.

Hearing my question, the light in my sister's eyes suddenly disappeared a bit.

"Later, it seemed that Daqimen suddenly wanted to attack Xiao Kaiye."

"At that time, even I had just entered the building for two or three years, and I was sleeping in sister Hanying's servant room, and Lord Kai would often come over for the night."

"That night, someone used a knife and a gun, and I saw blood. When it was night, I was terrified. There were people everywhere, and there were footsteps everywhere."

"Of course I didn't dare to go out, but I also heard the sound of shouting to kill, and I also heard the roar of Xiao Kaiye. It was completely different from him."

"The last thing I heard was that Sister Hanying asked Xiao Kaiye to run away, to run far away, and not to come back again."

"Of course Xiao Kai disagreed, and said a lot of things like living together and dying together, you know, their men always like to say such things at this time, like children who don't grow up, very willful .”

"Then, I heard a banging sound from the wall, but Sister Hanying didn't make another sound."
