after marrying stepbrother

Chapter 296 Imagination
Chapter 296 Imagination
Lamb kebabs do not need to be marinated. Three pieces of lean meat and one piece of fat meat are skewered on a bamboo stick, so that the fat meat is grilled with oily flowers, soaked in the lean meat, and it is oily, sprinkled with cumin, sesame and chili Noodles, the original taste but not the slightest fishy smell.

I don't know how Mazilian prepares the ingredients. Last time she mentioned the chicken wings and crispy chicken bones she wanted to eat. Lin Yuesha found that there were as many as one bag, which was enough to skewer a lot.

Daqi is different from modern times. The chickens sold are never separated, they are sold whole, and there are very few parts for sale, so it is not easy for pockmarked faces to get scattered ones.

These are all what she likes to eat, and there are many styles.

"Can you help me?"

Xiao Qi stood behind Lin Yuesha, looked at the busy figure of the little girl, and asked in a low voice.

"no, I'm fine."

Lin Yuesha waved her hand. She will be able to prepare these ingredients in no time. Moreover, she sees that there is extra beef, so she plans to make dumplings with scallions.

The barbecue is all meat, if you eat too much, you will get tired, and you will get hungry easily, so leave some dumplings, in case the pockmarked face is hungry at night, it can also be used as a midnight snack.

"Then I'll just wait and eat with my stomach open."

Xiao Qi touched the red purse in his bosom, which contained a crescent jade pendant, which was a gift from him to Lin Yuesha.

Passing by a shop that day, seeing the jade pendant reminded him of his little sister, so he bought it without hesitation.

However, the deity is a poor scholar, and he has to rely on Lin Yuesha to help him. If he wants to give gifts unscrupulously, he can only let go of his little vest.

Xiao Qi thought in his heart, if one day his secrets were revealed, would the little girl become angry with shame and feel that she was being deceived?

He didn't want to think about it, maybe he was trying to escape.

"Brother Yun."

Lin Yuesha remembered that pockmarked face said that she was the accountant. She guessed that pockmarked face should be someone who worked for a certain high-ranking family, at least he had a way and was not short of money.

She didn't know what the black market was like before.

"The black market is a normal market, but there are shady businesses in it."

Xiao Qi didn't say much, he was worried that his little sister was curious, so he wanted to go to the black market to see.

Lin Yuesha nodded, she had never heard of the black market, and there is a high barrier to entry, not anyone can go if they want to, as for the shady business, she is not interested, but can buy such fresh ingredients, let She is very happy.

"Brother Yun, are you familiar with Fucheng?"

Lin Yuesha cut the meat, skewered it separately, and was distracted to talk to Pocky Face.

For her, pockmarked face is her confidant, and there are no taboos on topics.

Ever since she spied the secret of Pockmarked Face in the cabin, Lin Yuesha already felt that he was a man of flesh and blood, at least he still liked women, not so illusory.

"Familiar."

Xiao Qi has been in the Northland all year round, he looked at Lin Yuesha, wondering why the little girl asked this.

"What news do you want to inquire about?"

After waiting for a while, the little girl didn't answer, so Xiao Qi took the initiative to ask.

"There is a small question."

Lin Yuesha hesitated to speak, and then said, "I went to Changqing Academy today, but I didn't see my elder brother. I asked the book boy to pass the word, and the book boy said that my elder brother asked for leave with his husband on the pretext of something urgent at home."

The thing is, Big Brother Candid also tells lies, which is unusual.

Lin Yuesha can be sure that there is no urgent matter at home, her parents are away, and her stepbrother has not come home.

People suddenly disappear and lie, so where can they go?

Hearing that the flower building does not open during the day and has to wait until noon, Lin Yuesha gave her stepbrother 100 taels of silver, fearing that he would go looking for flowers and ask willows.

Xiao Qi: "..."

It's not easy to go out during the day, Xiao Qi originally wanted to find a substitute, but his subordinates were busy.

In order to see Lin Yuesha, he had to lie, but it was a good thing, and the younger sister personally exposed him.

If she asks at that time, how can he make up a reason?
"My elder brother is an honest man, and he can tell lies, so I don't know what he's going to do."

Lin Yuesha is old-fashioned, studying is the right way, if she is fascinated by a woman, it's okay to marry and go home, but she has to tell her parents.

Xiao Qi: "..."

"In case my eldest brother is taken away by someone and goes to Hualou, I don't know if the 100 taels of silver is enough."

I heard that drinking flowers and wine costs a lot of money. Lin Yuesha has experienced it personally. Food and drinks cost money, Xiao Quer costs money, and spreading a word costs money. If the money is not enough, they may be stripped and thrown on the street. For scholars In other words, both lining and face are lost.

This is still good, in case someone is tricked into a dark kiln, it is not just a matter of money.

Lin Yuesha was worried that her stepbrother would not be able to bear it, and that he would suffer physical and mental damage in the end.

Xiao Qi: "..."

In the little girl's heart, does he leave such an impression?If I knew it earlier, I should have made an appointment to meet at night. I told a lie, and I had to cover it up with countless lies.

"Today there was a book fair in the south of the city, and many scholars came to sell books. Presumably your elder brother is a book lover, so he should have gone to the book fair."

There is a book fair in Fucheng every year, and some scholars who can't make a living come to sell books. At the book fair, if you meet someone who has a good eye, you can sell them at a high price.

An old book is sold at a book store, and the price is lowered by various methods, and the book store resells it. The books in Fucheng will target individuals. If you are lucky, you can even find a rare copy.

Xiao Qi had an idea and found an excuse for himself. He happened to have two newly bought old books in his hand.

"Yes, then I might be wrong, my elder brother is a book lover."

Lin Yuesha nodded, the bookshelves at home, even in Chenjia Village, are clean, Xiao Qi washes his hands every time he reads, and the book never bends.

After reading a book dozens of times, it is still the same as a new book.

For scholars, well-to-do families are naturally rich and have good channels, while small families can hardly buy their favorite books except for printed copies in bookstores.

It is understandable that the stepbrother lied and asked for leave just to buy books.

Lin Yuesha didn't understand. If she understood, she wished she could go to the book club for a while. With her appreciation ability, she couldn't understand anything. She could only read vulgar books.

Xiao Qi nodded secretly, the little girl was quite self-aware.

"Speaking of which, my elder brother's birthday is coming up, and I don't know what to give yet."

Lin Yuesha began to worry again. After all, she was a close family member, and Xiao Qi treated her very well. Lin Yuesha thought that if she had money, she had to show it.

Forget about eating, that’s not a sign, what should I give as a gift?
"He doesn't lack pens, inks, papers and inkstones. How about a jade pendant?"

Lin Yuesha had a headache, purses and sachets were not considered gifts at all, they were too light.

Xiao Qi's birthday falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, and there is still more than a month to go.

"General men's personal things are those. Clothes, shoes and socks. Since it's your eldest brother, you don't need to give too expensive things."

Xiao Qi blinked, thinking about what he was lacking, and evaluating the younger sister's ability, and finally said, "Just give me shoes and socks."
