Chapter 348

As for Xu Qing's bargaining, he refused at all. He also said that this price is probably the most favorable price this year, because there will be more demand in the future and the price is likely to rise.

Xu Qing is not short of watermelons. No matter whether the price rises or not, if Ji Lao didn't look at watermelons, she would not have spent four silver to buy two watermelons.

He took a watermelon to Hu Ling and gave it to them. Xu Qing also opened a watermelon on his own side. The flesh of the watermelon was not well cooked, and there was no room for planting sweetness.

But some of them haven't eaten watermelons for many years, and even if watermelons are not so good, they are very happy.

avoided the sun that had been directly coming down at noon. In the afternoon, Xu Qing drove them into the fan city. The check in the city gate was quite loose. Like Xu Qing, what they came from far away, they just showed up the registered residence and proved that you were a big Ho Man.

There are few people in the city, but on such a hot day, no one is too idle to go out on the street. Most of them are hiding at home. They are all in a hurry and have something to do.

After entering the city, Xu Qing and Hu Ling separated and went to their respective places.

The carriage drove into a secluded wide lane and stopped in front of a courtyard. The plaque on the lintel read "Li Zhai", simple and simple.

Li Changting knocked on the door, and soon someone came to open it. Seeing him, he saluted and said, "here comes the master and his wife."

The young man in front of him was dressed up as a scholar in a long robe and looked very fresh.

Li Changting takes everyone in. This secluded residence is a medium-sized house. Because there is more rain here, the house is a wooden house structure off the ground. Wooden corridors connect the houses, which is very different from the brick houses I used to live in. It is less rough and more elegant.

The house is more exquisite and elegant. Xu Qing probably knows who Li Changting is going to set up in Fanzhou city. To tell you the truth, it's good to be the wife of a rich family.

Several servants in the courtyard were called over and introduced to Xu Qing one by one by the robed youth.

At this time, Xu Qing knew that the young man in his early twenties was a housekeeper named Li Zhu. Of course, Xu Qing knew that this was not his real name.

Among the remaining five, there are two servant girls, two boys and a cook. Although Xu Qing doesn't like too many people, these servants are obviously well-trained. They are clever and peaceful, and they are all assigned cleaning and other jobs, which won't disturb Xu Qing.

Li Changting waved these people down, hugged Xu Qing and entered the room: "except that Li Zhu is one of his own, all the others are recruited for temporary training. There may be places where they are not well served. If you have anything, you can directly ask Li Zhu to do it."

Xu Qing nodded: "OK, you can finally experience the life of a rich man."

Li Changting said with a smile, "that's what we're talking about."

Xu Qing sat down and drank chrysanthemum tea for a while, but soon he couldn't stay idle and ran to the kitchen to make herbal tea.

Li Changting is well decorated. There is a kitchen behind their house. It's very convenient to hide. You can get in by pushing the door.

In the future, Xu Qing only needs to cook here, but he will not be seen. Naturally, there are big kitchens in the courtyard, and the cooks recruited are basically cooking for other servants.

The kitchen has everything. The pots and pans are all new. The floor is paved with a layer of floor, and the height is padded to prevent ponding. The space is wide and the ventilation is good.

Xu Qing is particularly satisfied with the kitchen. There is an oven behind the stove, which is a replica of the home of Xinghu. There is a long table in the middle of the kitchen for her to cut vegetables and knead noodles.

Xu Qing into the space to take out the last piece of fresh meat at home, chop it, chop it ready to make dumplings.

"Since no one can see it, let's wrap it in the space directly, and then cook it outside. It's too hot outside." Xu Qingdao.

"Well, let Ah Xiang out and watch." Li Changting road.

"I have no problem." It's easy to talk with delicious Duanmu ring.

According to the custom, Xu Qing made colorful dumplings with different fillings, such as leek, cabbage, fennel, mushroom and corn, to meet different needs.

In half an afternoon, Xu Qing and Li Changting made 500 dumplings and used the last fresh pork. After eating the pork, Xu Qing was ready to kill another pig.

Xu Qing could not finish the 500 dumplings. Xu Qing cooked all the dumplings in the pot, and gave Li Zhu a hundred dumplings. Then Li Zhu sent someone to send Hu Ling a hundred dumplings. The remaining 300 dumplings were just enough for Xu Qing and Li Changting.

In addition, Xu Qing also fried two appetizers, hot and sour shredded potatoes, cucumber, and a bowl of kelp soup.

In the living room, after the dumplings and vegetables were put on the table, Xu Qing called everyone to eat.

"To celebrate your successful arrival in Fanzhou, cheers

Li Changting, Duanmu Xiang and Ji Lao picked up wine cups, while others replaced wine with herbal tea. When Ji Lao picked up chopsticks and picked up a dumpling, everyone could not wait to eat it.

Duanmu Xiang has actually eaten every kind of dumplings in the kitchen. He and Li Changting have a big appetite. They can kill 30 or 40 dumplings by themselves.Tan Yang sat next to Xu Qing and ate the dumplings just in front of him. Xu Qing took his bowl and helped him clip three of each kind of dumplings. He piled up a full bowl: "eat slowly. Don't make yourself at home. You can clip whatever you want. You can see how happy you are to eat peacefully."

Ping Ping An Wen Yan raised his head from the bowl and laughed sheepishly.

Xu Qing said to them, "take care of your younger brother, you know?"

The two little apprentices should speak well.

Ji likes this kind of atmosphere very much. People are eating delicious food, drinking wine and children's laughter. There are three generations of disciples and grandchildren who are not satisfied.

Everyone's stomachs are full. They all say they are full of food. Then Ji Lao takes them to the garden for a walk.

Some people clean up the dishes and chopsticks, so Xu Qing doesn't care. He goes back to his room with Li Changting early.

They have a small kitchen, they can burn hot water by themselves, and people won't disturb them. So Xu Qing takes Li Changting into the space.

Now it's hot. Although it's in my own home, to be on the safe side, there has to be someone in the bedroom. Xu Qing doesn't have to think about it. Only Duanmu Xiang and Li Changting sleep outside in turn.

But in the end, it must be that Li Changting sleeps a lot. Duanmu ring is too delicate and used to playing tricks.

From now on, Xu Qing will cook a large pot of herbal tea every night. In order to save medicinal materials, he will cook two pots of tea twice, which can be drunk by the whole house.

Duanmu Xiangpei's herbal tea is suitable for everyone, except for the elder Ji Lao, who can only drink a little. A small bowl is enough in the morning, middle and evening.

Other people drink herbal tea instead of half of the water. It's very easy to get heatstroke on such a hot day, so they basically stay in the house to rest during the day, and they won't come out for activities until the evening.
