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

Qi Qingxi learned from Qi Yunming that their mother, Mrs. Li, was originally a wealthy daughter of a well-to-do family. Later, the family suffered a great change and fell into ruin, leaving only her mother and grandmother to depend on each other.

Afterwards, my mother married a poor but good-natured scholar father by my grandmother. Not long after my mother married my father, my grandmother also passed away.

"But I seem to have heard Aniang mention that we originally had an uncle, but he was burned to death in the former residence of our grandfather's family by the enemies of our grandfather's family." Qi Yunming said in a low voice.

Qi Qingxi couldn't help but secretly scolded the author of the original book for being inhuman, so did he have to make this family so miserable?

Suddenly, there was a lot of bird chirping outside, followed by a piercing horse chirping, and then the carriage began to bump violently. Qi Qingxi and the others bumped into the carriage under the violent shaking.

Qi Qingxi felt that her internal organs were about to be knocked out, she hurriedly pulled the three children over, and they hugged into a ball.

She was about to ask what happened to the coachman outside, when she heard the coachman outside shouting: "I can't control the carriage, it's...it's Dilong turning over."

Only then did Qi Qingxi realize that it was an earthquake!

She suddenly remembered that the heroine of the original book predicted the arrival of the earthquake in advance and reminded Qi Zhifu to prepare early, so that Qi Zhifu was able to minimize the casualties caused by the earthquake, so she was commended by the court and promoted to Beijing .

But she clearly remembered that the earthquake in the original book was in winter, and the heroine specially prepared a batch of winter clothes in advance, and distributed them to the affected people after the earthquake, and thus gained a good reputation for charity.

But now it is still hot summer, and the heroine at this time in the original book has no time to prepare for the subsequent earthquake, because all her thoughts are on dealing with the fake daughter Qi Qingxi.

Could it be that because she left Qi's mansion directly after wearing the book, Qi Qingqing didn't have to bother with her anymore, but directly started to advise Qi's mansion, so the plot directly fast forwarded to the earthquake?

But right now is not the time to ponder these carefully, she has to find a way to get out of the current predicament first.

The horse outside was frightened by the earthquake and ran forward uncontrollably, with no tendency to stop at all.

"Call..."

Qi Qingxi heard a commotion outside, and the carriage gradually stopped.

She let out a long breath, and then a woman's voice came from outside her carriage.

"Are you okay?"

Qi Qingxi felt that the voice was very familiar. She opened the curtain and saw that it was the girl playing the piano that she met on Qixi Festival.

Si Qin was also surprised when she saw her: "It's you?"

Just as Qi Qingxi was about to thank her, Si Qin quickly jumped on a horse not far away and galloped towards the county town.

"Girl, please sit still, let's go back and have a look." The coachman calmed the horse and turned to look at her.

Qi Qingxi and the others were in the suburbs just now, and they were on a bumpy carriage, so they didn't feel much about the intensity of the earthquake.

It wasn't until she entered the city that she saw many people holding quilts and belongings standing by the street, some store plaques fell and smashed in half, and some people's foreheads were bleeding, probably from being injured by the smashing.

The coachman put them at the intersection and drove away quickly by himself.

After returning home, Qi Qingxi checked inside and out, and the plaque did not fall off, so she was relieved.

If you want to come to Ansui County, it should be far away from the center of the epicenter, so it won't have much impact.

It's just that I don't know which earthquake it was, and I don't know if the heroine has made preparations in advance this time. Although it was done to help Qi Zhifu get promoted, it is always a good thing for the victims.

"Bang bang bang..."

There was a knock on the door, Qi Qingxi went to open the door, and was hugged into his arms by the visitor.

Qi Qingxi smelled a familiar light fragrance, which was from Gu Yu's body.

"Xi'er, something happened to my cousin."

Qi Qingxi was taken aback, no wonder he saw Si Qin rushing here just now.

That's not right, according to the plot of the original book, the female lead hasn't met the male lead yet, so it's impossible for Cousin Gu Yu to have an accident so soon.

Qi Qingxi felt the arms holding her tighten tightly.

"Xi'er, wait for me."

Gu Yu let go of her arms, stretched out his hand to caress her cheek, and strode away without looking back.

What... what's the situation?

She quickly chased after Gu Yu in the direction where Gu Yu was leaving, but she only had time to see Gu Yu's figure riding away quickly on horseback.

More than three months have passed in a blink of an eye, and the weather has turned from hot to cold, and now it has become cold hands and feet.

A restaurant also began to sell hot pot instead of set meal.

She had drawn the drawings of the charcoal hot pot long ago and went to a blacksmith shop to order more than a dozen pots.

But the most important part of hot pot is the soup base.

Since she planned to start a hot pot business, she went to find Uncle Tu's family and asked him to find out if there was any old and disabled cows for sale. She wanted to buy some to make butter.

The hot pot base made of butter is more fragrant and mellow and easier to preserve.

But she never heard any news of anyone selling beef, so she had to sell clear soup hot pot instead.

The soup base made with some pork bones or old duck and aniseed ingredients is also full of aroma.

The first day of the hot pot business was full of guests, and the business was very good.

It's just that Wang Xiucai, who has been struggling to settle accounts, originally only needs to calculate the price of each set meal, but now he has to calculate the price of each dish ordered by each table, and even some customers add more dishes in the middle of the meal, so they have to calculate again.

In short, the workload has increased sharply, and I have to work overtime every day to clear accounts.

It made Wang Wanru sigh in front of her every day, feeling sorry for Wang Xiucai's hard work, and she has lost a lot of weight recently, until Qi Qingxi agreed to give Wang Xiucai a raise in salary, she gave up.

The work in the account room increased sharply, but the work in the back kitchen was obviously much easier.

You don't need to cook vegetables all the time like before. You only need to wash and chop vegetables every day, and then cook the soup for the day.

It's just that Master Fan's apprentice Xiaomi is quite critical, thinking that his master is a master chef, but now he has been reduced to a small worker who washes and cuts vegetables.

These thoughts were known by his Master Fan, and he gave him a lesson: "Even if it is the royal chef in the palace, not everyone can be a master chef. They have to start from washing and cutting vegetables slowly. Why do you think they should also be called chefs?" Small workers? Besides, these are the basic jobs of being a cook. If you can’t even wash or cut vegetables well, what kind of cook should you be?”

Master Fan patted the back of Xiaomi's head: "Your master's purpose is to earn a living. As long as the business in the store is good, I can do anything. Don't be a jerk."

Since then, Qi Qingxi has never heard any complaints from Xiaomi, and she is also very dedicated to washing and chopping vegetables. She can even sell two more dishes with the vegetables in the store, and the business is even better.

Qi Qingxi also quickly saved up the money she borrowed when she came out from Qi Zhifu's house.

She made a special trip to the inn where she stayed when she first came to Ansui, to find the driver who brought her from the provincial capital.

But the driver told her that Qi Zhifu had been promoted to the capital.
