Luo nine needles

Chapter 14

The flatbed truck on the return trip was also fully loaded.

It is not as heavy as a wild boar when filled with these things, so both the master and the servant sit in the cart, one occupying one side, and the purchased items are piled in the middle.

Among them are the rice grains and vegetables that Aokiji is familiar with, and there are also objects that seem strange to Aokiji, such as large and small axes, strange saws, and various things that cannot be named.

"Miss, this," she asked, pointing to one of them.

Qixing said, "Plane."

Qingzhi groaned, moved her finger again, and before she could ask, the young lady had already answered "Mo Dou."

The lady frowned again after she finished speaking.

"This ink fountain is not good, I will make one myself when I go back."

Qingzhi retracted her fingers, rubbed them on her knees, and couldn't help but ask again: "Miss, why do you want to hunt and make a bed?"

"Because." Seven Star wanted to say.

Qingzhi took the lead: "Because the lady is very dexterous." He said angrily, "I know that the lady is very dexterous, but, dexterity, how can you do this? Miss has never done it before."

"Have you never done it before?" Qi Xing looked at her with a slight smile on her lips, "Do you think that your young lady can only embroider, make clothes and comb her hair because of her dexterity? That's Qi Xing in Lu's house, not Qi Xing in her own house. "

Qingzhi probably understood what the young lady meant. The young lady has very skillful hands and knows a lot, but she has no chance to show it when she arrives at Lu's house.

Miss Qixing at home is different from Miss Qixing at Lu's.

She should stop being confused and shocked, she also needs to wake up, now she is Miss Seven Star's maidservant in Xinghua Mountain!
Aokiji stretched out his hand on his knee again, picked up a small chisel from the assortment of tools, carefully examined it and became familiar with it.

Qixing no longer looked at her, but looked forward, the sun was setting in the west, the afterglow covered the ground, and the mountains and lakes were indistinct.

"Have you ever seen how dexterous Qixing is in my own home?" She seemed to be asking Aokiji, and seemed to be talking to herself.

She has seen.

After a few rains, summer turned into autumn. Standing in the courtyard, a gust of wind blows through, refreshing the eyes.

Lu Kangshi stood on the porch, looking at the garden.

The purchased Qi's residence was finally renovated and moved in on an auspicious day. When the good news came that Yi'er was admitted to the Imperial Academy, the celebration banquet was held in the new garden.

Compared with the old house of the Lu family, this garden is really much bigger, and the cost of setting up a banquet will be even greater.

Of course, Mrs. Lu didn't care about these expenses.

"So, she became a Orion?" Second Mrs. Lu said behind her.

Mrs. Lu's voice was full of laughter: "She has nothing, she can only rely on the mountains to eat."

There are many wild animals in the mountains. If you pull a rope, dig a hole, and set up a basket, you can always hit a few rabbits and pheasants.

Before that girl came to their house, she grew up on the mountain over there. These things are what she does every day.

"Didn't Fushun talk about it last time? I saw them selling a basket of wild eggs."

Mrs. Lu also laughed: "I thought she would sell handicrafts."

There is nothing to say that Ah Qi is good at embroidery, and Mrs. Lu San naturally knows it, but.

"This embroidery is not just about craftsmanship." She said, reaching out and pinching the cuffs, this year's new autumn clothes are getting better and better, "She has no craftsmanship, no fabrics, no good needlework, how can she show her skills to others? Her net worth is unclear, who dares to invite her?"

Second Madam Lu glanced at Mrs. Lu's back, from the back she could tell that Mrs. Lu was not in a good mood——

"Ah Qi's good craftsmanship was practiced in our house, and my sister-in-law doted on her, letting her use needles and threads at will, and toss with good materials." She said with a smile, "My sister-in-law is still doting on her now. If something like this happens, my sister-in-law can bear it."

Mrs. Lu turned around, and said unhappily: "Don't mention her, those who have left, what are you doing mentioning her, you are so free, you are here to organize this year's autumn banquet."

Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu both stood up in surprise. Mrs. Lu was very stingy, holding all the family's money in her hands, and letting them organize the banquet would really bring a lot of benefits.

Mrs. Lu came out of the mansion happily, and met a steward head-on, who was walking outside for the eldest lady.

Thinking of what she said earlier, Mrs. Lu wanted to relieve her sister-in-law's worries and call him.

"What is Fushun doing in Xucheng? Is it fun to watch that slut maid live? Did you still buy wild eggs to eat fresh?"

The steward quickly apologized with a smile: "It's really negligent, I'll go there myself..."

Mrs. Lu interrupted him: "No need, we don't need to take care of this trivial matter, I just tell my natal nephew."

Mrs. Lu's natal family belongs to Xu Cheng. Although she is only a pawn, she can be regarded as a local snake with a big family business. The steward smiled and flattered her: "That's really great, thank you for your hard work, sir."

Mrs. Lu waved her hand indifferently: "What a big deal, isn't it just to let people know that the world is difficult."

The so-called hard times in the world mean that even if you just carry a basket of wild eggs, you will stumble and fall on the road, and there will be no harvest.

In fact, wild eggs are not easy to pick up. Qingzhi carefully calculated that it is better to raise chickens, ducks and geese to lay eggs and sell them better.

Accompanied by the morning light, there was the sound of chopping vegetables in the kitchen of Xinghua Thatched Cottage. After a while, Aokiji came out with a pot in his arms. He did not send it to the main hall, but came to the back of the house, surrounded by a fence. A flock of chickens and ducks.

The green pheasant cooed a few times, and put down the pot where the wild vegetable batter was mixed, and the chickens and ducks rushed up to peck at it.

Aokiji picked up a few eggs from the chicken coop, and held them warmly in her hands. She raised her head and looked towards the other side of the mountain, where a woman came slowly in the gradually dissipating morning mist.

"Miss." She waved her hand happily, "I'll cook another egg for you and then you can eat."

From such a distance, I don't know if I can hear her, or just because I saw her, the girl in the morning mist also raised her hand and shook it lightly.

Aokiji took the eggs into the kitchen. The stove was clean, and the pots and pans were complete. With a glance, except for the iron pots, most of them were made of wood.

Green Pheasant picks up the wooden ladle to scoop water, while boiling the water, beats the eggs in the wooden bowl and stirs neatly. When the pot is steaming, put the beaten eggs into the wooden cage and cover the wooden pot.

After finishing all this, the sound of footsteps outside and the sound of pushing the door, it was the lady who came back.

"Miss, wash up first." She raised her voice.

There was a response through the door and window, followed by the sound of water.

After Qingzhi put the vegetable porridge, steamed cake and steamed cake on the table in the main room, Qixing also walked in with a steamy body.

"Miss, have you selected the ingredients?" Aokiji asked.

The lady has finished laying out the two beds, the table and chairs in the house, but two more rooms need to be built, one for the donkey and the cart, and the other for the lady's tools.

Now besides the tools she bought, the young lady has done a lot, and there is no room for them in the house.

Qixing said, "It's already been cut."

Qingzhi once again sighed that the lady is really amazing, and said: "Then when I come back from the city, I will ask Uncle Wang and the others to help transport it down."

Qixing nodded and sat down.

"We sold our prey today and bought more rice and vegetables. Let's treat them to a meal," Qingzhi said.

Qixing held the bowl and chopsticks: "Then I—"

Aokiji knew what the lady was going to say, and quickly stopped him: "You don't need to go to the mountains to fight anymore, enough is enough, this is enough for the family now." He said with a playful smile, "The pheasants and wild rabbits on the mountain will be scared by the lady to move away." gone."

Qixing also smiled and lowered his head to eat.

After entering the city, Qingzhi and Ah Qi went to the Shunde Building first, and after the Shunde Building picked up what they needed, they went to the market to sell the rest.

"Ah Qi, Xiaoqing, you are here." The staff of the Shunde Building were already familiar with it, and they waved at the entrance of the alley.

Aokiji also called out to his brother with a smile.

This little brother helped them pull the car into the backyard, and another guy unloaded the car and weighed it. Qingzhi and Ah Qi didn't need to do it all the way, and the guy gave them each a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

Two people sat on a bench and ate with each other.

At this moment, Qingzhi even felt that this day was better than when he was in Lu's house.

But the next moment, the good days were broken.

"It's because your things are not clean!" There was a loud noise from ahead, "Our young master has eaten up his stomach, and you Shunde Building still doesn't admit it! Let us see what dirty pickles you have hidden in your back kitchen!"

The guys in the backyard all looked forward, Qingzhi also stopped, only Ah Qi was still eating the sweet-scented osmanthus cake carefully, holding the fallen dregs in one hand.

A group of people rushed over, two stout domestic servants supported a young man in his 20s, the servants were aggressive, the young man bent over and ouch, followed by the shop assistant and the somewhat helpless shopkeeper.

"Master Ning, this is a misunderstanding." The shopkeeper said, "Everything in our Shunde Building is clean."

"How could it be all clean!" Young Master Ning yelled, bending his body to look around with a pair of black bean eyes, and seeing a wild animal that was being weighed, he straightened up immediately, pointed and shouted, "Isn't that right? I just eat it today." I don’t know the origin of the wild rabbit meat that you Shunde Building has been using all the time, I don’t know how long it has been dead, and I don’t know whether it was poisoned or how it died from wild chickens and rabbits!”

This!
Aokiji, who had been watching the excitement, froze, and the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his hand fell——

Instead of landing on the ground, it landed in the palm of one hand.

"Don't waste food." Qixing said, putting the sweet-scented osmanthus cake back into Qingzhi's hand.
