Traveling through books to ancient times, I provoke the love of villains and powerful ministers

Gu Yu took what Qi Qingxi was holding and asked her about buying beef.

Qi Qingxi told Gu Yu how she bumped into Tu Qiang when she went to the vegetable market, and how she took them to the government to apply for certificates.

While washing the vegetables, she smiled and talked to Gu Yu: "I didn't even know that some people were so afraid of the government office."

Qi Qingxi also praised Xu Shi who was doing the work by the way: "But that official is really fast. Uncle Tu was dumbfounded on the spot with the stamped document. He didn't expect it to be done so easily."

Speaking of this, Qi Qingxi frowned suddenly: "Oops."

She always felt that she had forgotten something just now, but now she suddenly remembered that she should stop by and ask Xu Shi about the certificate of setting up a stall in the Dragon Boat Market.

Gu Yu asked her what was wrong.

Qi Qingxi told him that she wanted to set up a stall at the Dragon Boat Festival, but she heard that she needed a certificate stamped by the government. She wanted to ask Na Xushi how to get the certificate, but she forgot.

Gu Yu smiled and asked her, "If you set up a stall, what do you plan to sell?"

Qi Qingxi stopped cutting the meat and thought for a moment: "During the Dragon Boat Festival, we can sell some desserts and snacks, and if it's not good enough, we can just sell some zongzi. The zongzi I made are not bad."

She looked at Gu Yu: "Does Mr. Gu like eating zongzi?"

Gu Yu has always had nothing to do with the festival, but he nodded when he heard Qi Qingxi say that the rice dumplings were made well.

Qi Qingxi smiled and said: "Then I will send you some rice dumplings to try."

Gu Yu nodded with a smile.

While the two were chatting, Qi Qingxi had already processed all the dishes on hand, and the next step was to start cooking.

Qi Qingxi stood still in front of the stove for a long time, Gu Yu saw her approaching her like this and asked her what happened.

She turned her head and looked at Gu Yu stupidly: "I forgot that I can't make a fire."

Gu Yu was taken aback when he heard the words, he had never heard of someone who could cook but couldn't make a fire.

He looked at Qi Qingxi, and Qi Qingxi looked at him again. The two looked at each other for a while, and laughed at the same time.

Gu Yu went to the stove to light a fire.

After a while, the originally somewhat dim hearth was filled with firelight.

The firelight reflected on his face, his handsome face was undoubtedly revealed under the firelight, and the firelight fell into his eyes again, shining brightly.

"All right."

He looked sideways at her and smiled softly.

Qi Qingxi felt her heart skip a beat, she quickly turned around, put her right hand on her heart and took a deep breath.

"I'll go to Yunhui and tell his brother to come back for dinner." He immediately ran out of the kitchen as if fleeing.

Qi Yunhui put down his snacks, went out to the book shop and called Qi Yunming to come home for dinner.

Qi Yunming's copied paragraphs were still two or three hundred words short of a thousand words, so he asked Qi Yunhui to wait for a while, and after he finished copying, the two went home together.

Qi Yunming and Qi Yunhui came home just in time for dinner.

Qi Qingxi still stewed peanut ribs soup today, then fried some vegetables, and made a braised pork.

And the beef bought today, she cut off a large piece and made a plate of cumin beef.

The braised pork made by Qi Qingxi is bright and golden in color, the soup is thick, fat but not greasy in the mouth, and the cumin beef is also crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, delicious and delicious.

Gu Yu ate three bowls of rice in succession before giving up. He felt that today's trip was extremely correct, and he ate to his heart's content. He didn't expect Miss Qi to be so good at cooking, comparable to an imperial chef.

At the dinner table, Qi Yunming discussed with Qi Qingxi about going to the bookstore to copy books.

Qi Qingxi thinks that the job Qi Yunming is looking for is very good. Whether he can make money is secondary. The main thing is that he can practice calligraphy and read books. As the saying goes, a good memory is not as good as a bad pen. He can't go to the academy now, and copying books is also very helpful benefit.

It's just that not all books are beneficial to people, she has to ask Qi Yunming what books he copied.

Qi Yunming told Qi Qingxi that the boss thought he was young, so he was asked to copy poems, songs and other books, and he saw that other copyists also copied novels.

Only then did Qi Qingxi feel relieved, and brought him some food: "Of course, you just remember to come back for dinner."

Qi Yunming gave a "hmm", paused for a few seconds and said, "I'll stay at home to help you when the Dragon Boat Festival arrives."

"Okay." Qi Qingxi thought for a while, "How about this, how about you come home and help me with things when you copy the book every day?"

In fact, Qi Qingxi doesn't need help very much, but she thinks that copying books can be regarded as mental work, and sitting still all day long is not good for the body.

When Qi Yunming was growing up, he had to exercise more to grow tall and handsome like Gu Yu.

Qi Qingxi looked at Gu Yu, a good-looking person is also such a good-looking person, the more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became.

Gu Yu seemed to feel her gaze, and also looked at her with a gentle smile.

Qi Qingxi returned him with a bigger and sweeter smile.

Gu Yu was taken aback for a moment, unconsciously sinking into her Wei Wei.

Seeing that the two coughed so softly, Qi Yunming smiled and lowered their heads to eat.

Qi Yunhui, who had been working hard, looked up at his brother upon hearing the sound.

"Brother, are you choking? Shall I get you a glass of water?"

Qi Yunming was speechless, and then gave Qi Yunhui a chopstick of cumin beef to let him concentrate on eating.

Qi Yunhui immediately stuffed the beef into his mouth, chewed and smiled at Qi Yunming, his brother was so kind to him.

Qi Yunming patted Qi Yunhui's shoulder lightly, he is really his silly brother.

Today is also a meal that satisfies everyone.

After lunch, Qi Yunming went to the book shop, Gu Yu also got up and it was time to go back to the Yamen, Qi Qingxi sent him to the door.

Gu Yu bid farewell to her: "At first I said I would invite a few of you to dinner, but I didn't expect to be snatched by Gu for another meal. Miss Qingxi's craftsmanship is really good, and Gu just feels that she still has more to say."

Qi Qingxi smiled brightly: "Thank you Mr. Gu for your compliment. If Mr. Gu likes the food made by Qingxi, you can come here often."

Gu Yu tried her best to restrain her urge to touch her hair, and whispered to her: "Then Gu will leave first, and I will disturb you later."

After Gu Yu left, Qi Qingxi returned to the dining hall, Qi Yunhui had already packed the dishes and was washing the dishes, and Qi Nuan was helping her brother pour water.

She praised them a few words, and then went back to the kitchen to prepare the remaining beef. She planned to make beef sauce so that it could be preserved for a few days even in hot weather.

She first cut the beef into small pieces, blanched it in the pot and picked it up.

Then pour vegetable oil into the pot, add spices such as onion, garlic, star anise, bay leaf and cinnamon, boil the oil to get the aroma, remove the spices, pour in the beef and fry the dry water, and remove it after the beef becomes burnt.

Then add minced ginger and garlic to the pot and boil for half an hour, then add beef cubes and boil for a quarter of an hour, then add condiments, and finally add cooked sesame seeds to increase the aroma and stir evenly before starting the pot.

Qi Qingxi found a few small earthenware jars she bought newly, put the beef sauce in them and sealed them, which happened to use seven of the ten earthenware jars she bought.

After making the beef sauce, she plans to go shopping on the street to find inspiration and see what can be sold at the Dragon Boat Festival market.

Seeing that her elder sister was going out again, Qi Nuan wanted to go with her, Qi Qingxi promised her and asked Qi Yunhui if she wanted to go out with her too.

Qi Yunhui shook his head, he didn't want to go anywhere after eating and drinking, he just wanted to stay at home and sleep.

"Boom bang bang..."

There was a knock on the door.
