Begging You to Break Off This Engagement!

"Second brother, what is this drawing?" Luo Ru came to deliver potato cakes to Luo Fei, and saw Luo Fei bowing his head to draw pictures, drawing very carefully.

"Draw a small bowl." Luo Fei said, "a small bowl for ice cream."

"Huh?" Luo Ru was stunned, "Eat ice cream and serve it in a small bowl? This bowl is much more expensive than ice cream, right?"

"Yeah, I want this effect. I'll draw a few first, I'm not sure if it will work, but let's try it first." Anyway, there is not much development in his circle, but people Shi Shi and Li Siyuan know There are so many, maybe they will be able to sell them.Most people have the mentality of liking beautiful things. Sometimes people may buy this bowl of ice cream just because they want this bowl.Just like when he was in modern times, he didn't think that a certain mineral water tasted better than others, but just because the packaging of that one made him look like it, so he always bought that one.

Luo Fei painted four kinds of bowls.The main bodies of the bowls all look the same, just a white background with a diameter that gets smaller and smaller from top to bottom. It’s just that some articles have been made on the bowls, one is painted with lotus flowers, the other is painted with plum blossoms, There are also carp and peonies.Most of these are things that the ancients liked. Luo Fei tried his best to paint them beautifully, trying to make people fall in love with them just by looking at them.

He's full of girlish heart, actually he doesn't know if it's reliable or not, but it's beautiful!

Luo Fei turned around and looked at his sister who was pouring potato pancakes on his plate...

yes!Isn't this a girl? !

"Sambo, do you think the small bowl in the second brother's picture looks good? Do you like it?" Luo Fei held up the picture, "It's only as big as my fist."

"It's pretty, but your fist is too big and too small. If you want to put ice cream in it, wouldn't you have to eat it after two bites?" Luo Ru clenched his fist and looked, "Second brother, your fist is still big." It’s not as big as mine, but it’s about as big as mine.”

"Just tell me whether you like this little bottle or not?" Luo Fei felt that Luo Ru didn't understand the point!

"That's because you can't spend money. I don't like spending money. You can save the free money for miso, hehe."

Luo Fei: "..."

Luo Fei bit his lip, and suddenly shouted out: "Brother Qing, Luo Yong! You guys come in!"

These people are slaughtering sheep in the yard.Originally, Luo Fei wanted to buy some mutton for experimentation, but the mutton sold outside was different from Jing Rong's, so he asked Jing Rong to slaughter a sheep.Of course, he didn't say it was for experiments, but he only said that he wanted to eat mutton, so he bought one from Jing Rongna.

Jing Rong said that he would not take money, but he still gave it, one yard for one yard.

"What's wrong with my daughter-in-law?" Xi Yanqing shouted outside, "I'm dirty, I'm going to clean up the internal organs of the sheep! Are you in a hurry?"

"No hurry!" Luo Fei said, "Wait for me! I'll go out!" It's a bit civilized when the sun is good outside, so the mud floor is a bit slippery.After Luo Fei went out, he carefully walked up to Xi Yanqing and the others, "Isn't this picture pretty?"

"Well……"

"What is this?" Seeing that Xi Yanqing seemed to be thinking about something, Luo Yong asked, "A teacup?"

"A small bowl for ice cream." Luo Fei said, "Isn't it pretty? It's okay, tell the truth."

"Very cute." Xi Yanqing said.

"But it's too small, isn't it?" Luo Yong said, "If it's filled with ice cream, you won't be able to eat two bites, but it's okay to dip it in soy sauce and eat dumplings."

"You two are indeed a couple!" Luo Fei pointed to Luo Yong and then to Luo Ru, "Sanbao said to pretend to be miso, but Luo Yong said to pretend to be soy sauce, and you two are convinced."

"Second brother, what are you talking about!" No matter how carefree Luo Ru was, he couldn't stand someone saying that in front of Luo Yong, and his face immediately turned red.Although her family has already accepted Luo Yong's betrothal gift, she hasn't been married yet!How can it be said that they are a couple.Luo Ru glared at Luo Yong, then left Xi's house with his head down.

"Pfft! Brother Qi, at least save some face for the third girl." Jing Rong shook his hand, "But I think these small bowls are very beautiful, if they can be cooked well, I would like to keep a set, especially the one How beautiful are the lotus and carp."

"Real or fake?" Luo Fei expressed doubts.Is it possible that the pictures he draws can't be cute enough for a girl to be cute for a handsome guy? !Hi!

"Really. I'm afraid it's not easy to make. It's so delicate, and it's filled with ice cream after it's baked. The cost of this bowl is higher than that of ice cream, right?"

"That's true, but there are always some people who can afford it. Let Brother Qing take it to Shifu to have a look later. If it doesn't work, I'll treat it as a painting for fun." Luo Fei finished the scroll, "Sanbao sent potato cakes, you want them?" Why don't you wash your hands and eat something first?" It was almost noon, and he was thinking about drawing, but he forgot that he hadn't made lunch yet.

"You eat first, we are almost done, go back and change the clothes and wash them well before eating, or this whole body smells like blood." Xi Yanqing raised his head and asked the two people, "What do you think?"

"Agreed." Luo Yong mainly thought that the pancakes that Luo Ru brought were not enough to eat at all... It's better to save it for a while and try it when you have a serious meal.His untrained wife's skills have always been reliable!

Jing Rong didn't object, and the three brothers continued to pack the sheep.

Luo Fei asked Xi Yanqing to get him a tender part first, and he decided to make some lamb skewers at noon.

Of course, this mutton skewer is not the kind that is skewered on iron skewers and grilled over charcoal fire. After all, there are no iron skewers or charcoal now.He wanted to try to use seasoning similar to that used for barbecue after frying and let the group taste it.

Many edible seasonings known to Luo Fei are used here as spices and put into purses to prevent mosquitoes.But not much is used for food.

"It smells so good." Xi Yan changed his clothes after washing his hands, and when he entered the kitchen, he smelled a tempting smell of meat, which made him slurp, "Stir-fried mutton slices?"

"Well, I put some sesame seeds and pepper powder." I haven't seen cumin here, and I haven't seen any chili peppers, so the taste is definitely not as good as in modern times, but everything comes in a little bit.Luo Fei crushed some sesame seeds and sprinkled them on, which actually looked good.He also burned the steamed bun slices, making the steamed bun slices crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it tastes especially good with mutton.

"I should ask Brother Shi if he has seen cumin and chili peppers, what do you think?" Xi Yanqing was fed a piece of meat, "But this is also delicious. It just lacks the fragrance of cumin."

"Ask Brother Shi and Brother Li. But I have another idea." Luo Fei said, "Brother Qing, do you remember that I sold sachets during the Dragon Boat Festival last year, and the fragrant wood in them Ball? That smell, I think it’s also very good. If you can use it to roast lamb, it will feel very good. I also smoked the bacon we made before the Chinese New Year. Didn’t you say it tasted good at the time? ?”

"That's right, you can smoke and roast with incense wood." Xi Yanqing said, "I can help with this. I will go to the mountains again when the weather gets warmer. We have them in the mountains."

"Well. I'll ask Han Xu to use some of it first, and we'll figure out how to get it when we use it in large quantities. Anyway, I think it should be good. It would be better if there is honey." There is no beekeeper in this place, so Honey is still a relatively rare thing. There are wild honeys on the market, which are rare and expensive.But if there is honey, then use it to make honey barbecue, tsk tsk tsk...

"Halazi is coming out." Xi Yanqing said with a smile.

"Ah?" Luo Fei hurriedly touched his mouth, but found nothing. "It's not bad, you!" He said, "You're saying I'm having a flow!"

"I didn't shed it, you little greedy donkey."

"You're bleeding!" Luo Fei hurriedly hugged Xi Yanqing and licked his lips, "Look! So much! It's all dripping down!"

Xi Yanqing: "..."

Waterfall?Still dripping down!

"Tsk, isn't it fishy?" Xi Yanqing licked his lips, "Come here and let me try."

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

If it hadn't been for hearing that Luo Yong and Jing Rong had come back, Xi Yanqing probably wouldn't even have lunch and would eat donkey meat instead.

Fortunately.

Luo Fei breathed calmly, blushed, and took steamed buns out of the pot with his back to the door.

The steamed buns were still a little hot when they came out of the pan, after all, they were burnt.But it smells really good too.One bite of this thing is fragrant and crispy.

"How is it? Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious." Jing Rong picked up steamed buns in one hand and mutton in the other.He had eaten this dish at Fuyuelou before, but in all honesty, he felt that the cook at Fuyuelou was not as delicious as his brother Qi's.It would be understandable if it was said that the food he ate had been left out for a while, but no, both sides are freshly cooked, so it is obvious that he, Brother Qi, has the better skill.

Luo Fei didn't cook too much for the first time, fearing that it would be unpalatable and wasteful.Later, Xi Yanqing tasted it and thought it tasted good, so he fried another plate.

"This steamed bun with mutton is really delicious!" Luo Yong first took a bite of steamed bun and mutton, but when he saw Luo Fei sliced ​​the steamed bun and put meat in it, he followed suit.Take this bite, oh my dear, the steamed buns are crispy on the skin and tender on the inside, and the mutton is even more fragrant. One bite is delicious.Just such a way of eating, I am afraid that I will not feel enough if I eat enough.

"How is it compared to dumplings?" Xi Yanqing asked.

"Equally delicious!" Luo Yong said, "Oh no, this one seems to be more delicious!"

"It's really delicious." Jing Rong also ate two big steamed buns.Now he is also learning to pinch meat, "Brother Qi, how did you come up with it? It tastes really good."

"Then do you think this item is for sale?" Luo Fei asked.

"Middle. If anyone sells it, I will buy it every day and eat it! But who will sell it?" Luo Yong said, "Now we are so busy that we have to bother Uncle Rob to build a house. Besides, not everyone can do this."

"Actually, this stuff is not difficult to make. I can prepare the meat ahead of time. I was in a hurry to make it today. Originally, the meat would be more tender after being marinated. I was afraid that you would be hungry at noon, so I didn't marinate it. As for the steamed buns That would be even simpler, just burn the steamed buns, or fry them in a pan, anyone can do it.” Luo Fei thought about it, “I’ll ask a few more people to try it later, if everyone feels It's delicious, so let's try to sell this steamed bun with meat when autumn comes this year, and we can also make some sheep soup with sheep bones. What do you think?"

"Actually, brother Qi, the food you make is really delicious. I'm telling the truth with my conscience. But it's still the same sentence I asked just now, who will sell it?" Now it's time to do farm work again, even if They don't farm, but their vegetable garden must be planted, right?What not to eat?It's inconvenient for Brother Qi to be pregnant, so there are three families and three plots, oh no, the old and new houses add up to five large vegetable gardens, and they have to grow them by themselves.

"Yeah, it's a question of who will sell it." Luo Fei took an unburned steamed bun and began to tear the skin of the steamed bun again, "Brother Qing, why don't you say that we sell ice cream in pastry shops like we used to sell ice cream in dim sum shops? Is it okay to put this thing in a dim sum shop?"

"Ice cream is a complete finished product. You just need to find a place to store it. It won't affect the original business of dim sum shops. But this thing is different. After all, it still needs secondary processing, so it is definitely not suitable for sale in dim sum shops. "Xi Yanqing said, "How about it, daughter-in-law, you can make this dish again tomorrow, and then I will take it to meet the owner and shopkeeper of Fuyuelou, and see if they can change it after tasting it. Cheng ordered sheep from us. At that time, I packed those dishes from Fuyue Building and brought them here in the hope that my daughter-in-law would have fresher ideas than them after tasting them. Now that you have them, why don’t you give it a try.”

"That's fine. Anyway, it's best to sell the sheep." Luo Fei thought about it, "I think it should be about the same. After all, Brother Shi and the boss of Fuyuelou seem to have a good relationship."

"Go and have a look tomorrow." Xi Yanqing brought over the steamed buns that Luo Fei had stripped naked to eat, and asked him to pick one off. Just like that, the four young men ate two large plates of fried mutton in a short while. It's over, eating this is called a litter!

Xi Yanqing was fine, but Jing Rong and Luo Yong were having a hard time with his daughter-in-law in his arms at night.Especially Luo Yong, who tossed and turned like a box of leeks all night before falling asleep.

In the dream, the third girl was always angry and ashamed, why did he care about the third girl so much? !It's almost like being possessed.

The next day when Jing Rong came together, he saw Luo Yong rubbing his pants. He didn't realize it at first, so he asked, "What kind of pants do you wash in the morning?"

A blush flashed across Luo Yong's face strangely, and the ears of the tall boy were all red: "No, nothing. It's just one piece anyway. The weather is good. I'll wash it and dry it tomorrow. put on."

Jing Rong looked outside: "How is your day?!"

Luo Yong didn't say a word, but he just finished washing his trousers and was about to hang them out when it was snowing outside...

This God is also interesting. Two days ago, he looked like he was about to return to the earth in spring, but now snowflakes started to fall again. Isn't this sincerely embarrassing him!

After a while, Jing Rong felt a little overwhelmed, and patted Luo Yong's shoulder viciously: "Hey, don't you kid..."

"Go, go, go, go! Don't you mean it?! Don't guess!" Luo Yong still hung up his pants, and changed the subject by the way, "Are you going to town with Brother Xi today? If so, I'll herd the sheep .”

"I won't go today. Brother Xi probably meant the same thing. If I'm here, he might not be able to talk to him." Jing Rong said, "Since it's snowing, we can't do the work on the new house. How about Just fix the vegetable garden."

"Okay, I'll go and carry the wood, and you find the plane and the axe." Luo Yong went to carry the wood that was beaten to repair the fence.

Here, Xi Yanqing is unmolding the ice cream.Didn't the shopkeeper of Fuyuelou ask when the ice cream could be delivered again? If that's the case, then he brought a plate, which is more convenient for talking about things.

The ice cream was made overnight by Xi Yanqing, and thanks to the cooling down at night, otherwise it might not be able to freeze.

He unmoulded the ice cream and put it away, then took the mutton that Luo Fei got up early for him, told Luo Fei to be careful at home, and then went to the town.

The snow on the road was still heavy, Xi Yanqing walked as fast as possible, thinking about how to talk about things this trip.

Probably everything is difficult at the beginning, but he has confidence in Luo Fei's skills.

"Hey?! Brother Xi, why are you going to town so early in the morning?" Walking faster, I didn't expect to run into Luo Yi who was rushing to school!Xi Yanqing hadn't seen Luo Yi for a few days, this kid always left early and returned late since he started school.

"Aren't you early too?" Xi Yanqing smiled, "Go to school so early every day during this time?"

"Ah, the road is far away, so I left home early. I am the first one to go every day. My classmates don't like to clean up, so I will go early anyway, so I will go to clean up." Luo Yi In the past six months He has grown a lot taller, he has cleared his shoulders at Xi Yan, and his speech has become more generous, with a feeling of growing up, "Brother Xi, why did you go so early?"

"Something to do. How is it in school? Is the teacher easy to get along with? What about the students?" Xi Yanqing still cared about his brother-in-law, because this brother-in-law had supported Luo Fei in marrying Luo Fei even before he liked him.Although sometimes it is true that he cheats on his wife, but his heart is still very kind.

"Everything is fine." Luo Yi said as he walked against the wind and snow, "Especially the teacher, the lectures are very careful."

"That's it." Xi Yanqing originally wanted to continue asking, but seeing that Luo Yi didn't seem to want to say more about the school, he stopped asking.Whether Luo Yi is doing well in the school, it is not impossible to notice it. For example, cleaning, if there are really good classmates, why is he cleaning alone every day?But some things should be faced by oneself, maybe this is the process of growing up.

"Brother Xi, I have to turn this way, please slow down." Luo Yi had to separate from Xi Yan not long after he entered the town.

"Well, let's go." Xi Yanqing stood there for a while, watching Luo Yi leave before continuing to Fuyue Tower.

It's a bit of a pit, because it's snowing, the road is in a hurry, but it's early.Fuyue Building is not open at this time.There was no other way, so Xi Yanqing went to sit in the beancurd shop not far from Fuyue Building for a while.He asked for a bowl of bean curd, drank it, and looked at Fuyuelou from afar.

After a while, the snow became lighter and the bean curd was finished.Xi Yanqing walked towards Fuyue Tower with her things on her back.

In the morning, the guy who delivered food to Fuyuelou came and left, the guy who delivered fish came and left again, and then the guy who delivered meat came again.

Xi Yanqing recognized this person, after all, he had bought meat several times from this Yunji butcher shop.Only this time, this person did not come alone, but with three children.The oldest of the three children was a girl, about six or seven years old, with two asymmetrical braids. The other two were young, one looked three or four years old, and the other looked like two years old.The two little ones, both boys, were placed on wooden carts.

These children were of different sizes and genders, but they were all dressed in shabby clothes.Is it possible to make money selling fresh meat? !A doubt flashed in Xi Yanqing's heart, and at this moment the man spoke.

"Damei, daddy is going up to deliver the meat. You look at your two younger brothers, but you don't want to run around, you know?" A man who was about the same size as Jing Rong, maybe thinner than Jing Rong, carried a large piece of pork. the girl said.He also held some meat in his other hand, which seemed to be beef and mutton.

"Father, don't worry." The girl rubbed her hands together, "I'm sure I'll take good care of my brothers."

The man nodded and entered Fuyue Tower.After a while, he counted the silver and came out of it, put the girl on the cart, and pushed them to the pharmacy where shopkeeper Jing was.

Xi Yanqing didn't know why he didn't rush into Fuyue Tower.Fuyue Building has not opened yet, but you can enter, and there are no customers at this time, so it is appropriate to talk about things.But maybe he also knew subconsciously that the old partner just went in to deliver the meat, and he followed up right now to say that it was not good, or maybe it was just some kind of curiosity, anyway, he was standing in Li Fuyue I stayed in a place not far from the building for a long time.

After a long time, the man came out of the pharmacy again with the children.The strange thing is that this person didn't go back, but went to Fuyue Building again, and let the three children wait outside.

Xi Yanqing was a little curious, and followed in with something on his back.

"Shopkeeper, look, why don't you pay me two taels of silver in advance, and I won't charge you any meat in the future, and deduct it slowly from there..." This was the voice of a man speaking.

"Brother Dayun, it's not that I don't help you, it's that you haven't made up the money you advanced from me last time. I just counted the days today and know that it's time for you to buy medicine for your daughter-in-law again. That's why I made an exception and paid you today's meat from the cabinet." Shopkeeper Hong said with a sigh, "After all, this business belongs to the owner, and I'm just a guy, so I really can't help you."

"But I'm still two or two taels short of the money to buy the medicine. You see...you should be flexible."

"It really can't be accommodated. You should think of another way." Shopkeeper Hong stopped talking for a moment, "Brother Dayun, we have known each other for several years, so don't think my words are harsh, as I say. , you, you should spend more time on the children, otherwise when will this be a problem?"

"But I can't help myself." Wan Dayun clenched his fists and left with his head down.

"Shopkeeper, what's wrong with this brother?" Xi Yan said with an apologetic smile, "I'm sorry, I didn't want to listen to the corner, but just came in and heard your conversation."

"His mother-in-law almost lost her life when she gave birth to her third child. Later, she saved her life, but the burn took a long time, and something went wrong. It's been almost three years, and she can't get off the kang, and can't do much work. God When it’s cold, he’s prone to problems, and he coughs so badly. He has four children. You say it’s easy for one person to support five and take medicine all the year round.” Shopkeeper Hong sat down, “Hey I shouldn’t have said more about your family affairs. But since you asked, I won’t hide it from you. Our boss also knows about his family’s affairs, so the old boss also said it. In the future, he will accept his meat. Please help."

"The old club has a kind heart."

"Yes, there is a well-known benevolent person in our town." Shopkeeper Hong was stunned, "By the way, Brother Xi, why are you here so early today? But you want to send ice cream? Many customers asked me to look for it."

"I brought some." Xi Yanqing said, "I saw the guy when I came in just now, and asked him to take the shade."

"That's great, let's go, I'll count the money for you." The shopkeeper Hong has always been happy in this matter, and after counting the banquet, he asked: "Brother Xi, have you had breakfast? If not, we two Let's eat together."

"I've eaten, thank you shopkeeper for your kindness." Xi Yanqing stood up, "That's nothing else, I'll go back first, my family is still waiting for me."

"Alright, I'm afraid it will be the next day, and I'll be at ease when I go back to my family earlier." Shopkeeper Hong clasped his fists.

Xi Yanqing also cupped her fists, and then left Fuyue Tower without looking back.

"Boss, everyone has left, why are you still watching?" the clerk asked shopkeeper Hong.

"I've always wondered. Boss Shi and a country man are called brothers and sisters. There is something special about this man. Today I know." Shopkeeper Hong folded his hands in front of his belly, "He is also a kind man. The mutton It smells so good that I almost couldn't help asking him for something, but he didn't even mention it."

"What lamb?"

"Yeah, what kind of mutton, it's so fragrant. But no matter how fragrant it is, it can't compare with this person."

"Ah?!" The clerk's eyes widened in shock, "Shopkeeper, don't you just like this big brother?! I heard that he has a wife!"

"Go, go, go! What are you talking about?! Is my old Hong such a person?! If you don't understand, hurry up and do your job!"

The sky outside was getting more and more cloudy, but it really meant the next day, just as Shopkeeper Hong said.

Xi Yanqing left Fuyue Tower, but did not go back immediately.

He went to find Brother Dayun who walked into the pharmacy again after leaving Fuyue Building.
