After I wear the book, I use the food to attract the attention of the big guys

Seeing that Xie Niannian was full of confidence, the owner of the spice seller was also happy: "Look at what you said, if you want to buy it, can I still sell it? What's more, peppers can't be sold at the price in Xuanzhou City, so you just take it." .”

Xie Niannian finally bought a few catties of dried chilies, but the boss said he couldn't afford the price, but this catty of dried chilis was still much more expensive than a catty of pork, which made her feel extremely painful.

After buying chili, Xie Niannian went to buy some fresh pork.I even bought some bamboo sticks from a bamboo weaving shop.

Finally, Xie Niannian wandered to the market selling donkey carts.

The market was very crowded, and there was a stench in the air. There were crowds gathered everywhere, and the sounds of hawking and donkeys mixed together, making it really noisy.

Enduring the discomfort, Xie Niannian carefully picked out the big and small bags for a long time, and he settled on a little female donkey with a well-proportioned coat and a strong physique.

Even the donkey and the cart cost a lot of money, but seeing the long eyelashes of the little donkey, Xie Niannian felt that it was worth it: "Oh, what a beautiful donkey, from now on you will be called Xie Suisui."

Driving the donkey cart, the little donkey rattled along the official road.

Everything was bought, and there was even a surprise, thinking about his plan to make money, Xie Niannian hummed a song in a great mood.

Just like this, he wandered back to Lihua Village. As expected, Xie Niannian's donkey cart attracted the attention of most of the villagers.

"Hey, daughter of the Xie family, have you added something new?" A sister-in-law who was working in the field greeted her, and Xie Niannian responded with a smile.

As for the two or three peasant women who rolled their eyes at her disdainfully, Xie Niannian ignored them and parked the donkey cart at the door of the village chief's house.

It was Mrs. Xie who opened the door.

She thought that Xie Niannian had something to discuss with the village chief, and before she could let Xie Niannian into the house, she was stuffed with paper bags.

The jujube cake in the paper bag is already a little cold, but it is still delicious.

Mrs. Xie quickly thanked her: "Hey, what else do you bring, do you want to come in for a light meal?" It was evening at this time.

"No, I still have something to go home." The newly bought ingredients still need to be processed, and Xie Niannian is ready to go back after delivering the things.

Seeing the pretty little girl leaving in the donkey cart again, Mrs. Xie went back to the house to continue eating.

"Xie Niannian, that girl, how much money did you spend back from the capital?

She didn't know how to save money, and now she added a donkey cart. Could it be that she had an adventure in the capital? Aunt Xie asked the village chief curiously.

The village chief frowned after hearing this: "No matter how other people's money is used, it's not your turn to give advice!"

After being reprimanded by the village head, Mrs. Xie stopped talking and just concentrated on eating.

Xie Niannian, who had already returned home, was unaware of the conversation at the village head's house. She still had a lot to do.

Donkeys are fed grass, dried chili is pounded into chili noodles in a stone mortar, and pork is sliced ​​and skewered with clean bamboo sticks.

Xie Niannian moved very quickly. After all this was done and the fire was lit, the sun had not yet set.

That's right, Xie Niannian wants to do barbecue.

Most of the snacks in Xuanzhou City are stewed, boiled, fried and steamed.Xie Niannian knows that there are also "roasted meat" in some restaurants, but no one has brought "roasted meat" to the streets, maybe there is no suitable tool?

Put the threaded meat skewers on the fire and grill, the fat is licked by the fire tongue, and it will start to "sizzling oil" after a while.Xie Niannian sprinkled chili powder and a small amount of salt while it was hot, and the smell of meat kebabs filled the air, all of which was the familiar chili aroma that Xie Niannian was familiar with.

In ancient times, pork was fed naturally, and it only needed a little seasoning to taste delicious. Xie Niannian is a master of barbecue, and the heat is exquisitely controlled, which is the icing on the cake.

When the meat was finished roasting, Xie Niannian only blew it a little and bit into a big piece.

The aroma of chili once again invaded the tip of the tongue domineeringly, but the slight tingling is unstoppable.

The taste of spiciness and oil conquered Xie Niannian's mouth, and Xie Niannian quickly ate the whole skewer one bite after another.

Eating while roasting, Xie Niannian ate this meal heartily, even if her lips were red from the heat, she couldn't stop her at all.

After feeling a bit full, Xie Niannian realized that he still had a lot to eat and bought a lot of meat.

Looking at the oily meat skewers sprinkled with chili noodles, Xie Niannian felt a little pity. These meat skewers probably couldn't bear to be left alone overnight, it was a bit of a waste.

At this time the sun was still half-hanging in the sky, Xie Niannian counted his steps, and suddenly had a bold idea - she was going to find Chi Qing.

Return the lantern and umbrella to the benefactor, and send food to the benefactor by the way!Xie Niannian felt that she was very grateful and repaying her kindness, and it was definitely not because of her beautiful sister.

After preparing the wooden lunch box, the meat skewers were pulled off the bamboo sticks, and then Xie Niannian, carrying umbrellas, lanterns and jujube cakes, went out again and headed straight for the back mountain.

Unexpectedly, I regretted a little when I walked halfway.

The sun at dusk is a rich orange color, and even if there is light in the distant woods, it can't shine in. It's so dark that it makes people feel a little creepy.

Except for the occasional chirping of birds, most of the time it was so quiet that only my own breathing could be heard.

Because of the many things that happened that day, Xie Niannian didn't think it was too scary, but now that he came back to his senses, he started to feel a little scared.

Traveling through the book for so long, she still sometimes forgets that this place is not as safe as modern times, it is really a bit reckless, she doesn't know if Chi Qing is at home, so she just comes here, in case something happens along the way, thank you Niannian dare not If you think about it more, you can only speed up your pace.

Fortunately, it didn't take long to see the tile-roofed house.Still a little apprehensive in her heart, she breathed a sigh of relief and knocked on the courtyard door.

"Tuktuk." There was a crisp knock on the door, but there seemed to be no movement in the yard.

Xie Niannian was a little confused, it's almost night, is Chi Qing really not here?

"Tuktuk." Xie Niannian patiently knocked on the door a few more times: "Miss Chi? Are you at home?"

After knocking, she turned her ear to listen, but it was still quiet.

She frowned somewhat disappointed, and was about to leave when the door suddenly opened.

Startled by the sudden opening of the door, Xie Niannian still had a dull expression on his face.

The person in front of him was only wearing a thin coat, and his black hair was not tied up, letting it hang loose, on the contrary, his skin looked a little pale.

Chi Qing seemed to have just gotten up, leaning lazily on the door frame with arms crossed, her eyes were devoid of any emotion, she just stared at Xie Niannian.

Xie Niannian forgot what to say for a while, and stammered: "Chi, Miss Chi, I'll return the umbrella."

"Oh! I also brought, brought jujube cake" Xie Niannian was a little timid, and his words became softer, because the cold beauty in front of him still didn't move.

The atmosphere seemed to freeze for a moment, Xie Niannian wanted to put down his things and slip away, but Chi Qing suddenly said, "Do you know what time it is?"

Chi Qing said this sentence very slowly, and his voice was a little hoarse.

"It's almost Xu time?" Xie Niannian guessed in a low voice.

Chi Qing finally changed her posture. She stood up straight, still expressionless: "When you go up the mountain in Xushi, you are not afraid of being caught and eaten by wild animals? Or do you want to deliberately create opportunities for bandits?"

She closed her eyes slightly, and her long eyelashes concealed the sleepiness in her eyes: "You look young, but you are quite courageous."

Xie Niannian is not in the slightest panic now, she can tell that Chi Qing is caring about her!

Encouraged all of a sudden, Xie Niannian stopped stuttering, and before he could say anything, his two sweet dimples couldn't hide: "I'm here to repay the favor! I want to give you a taste of my new food!"

Chi Qing raised her eyes and saw the little girl's pear-like smile, she paused: "You didn't verify my identity, you came here rashly, what if I'm a robber."

Xie Niannian smiled and blinked: "You saved me."

She murmured in her heart, how could the robber be so good-looking.

"I'm pretending. In fact, I've been eyeing you for a long time, and I'll sell you to the capital just after you throw yourself into the trap." Chi Qing said casually.

"Stop teasing me, the food I brought is getting cold!" Xie Niannian, who was teased like a child, was still a little embarrassed, thinking that Chi Qing didn't say much yesterday, but today it's a different way to tease people sets.

"I don't even know your name, how can you repay your kindness?"

Xie Niannian was stunned.

From meeting yesterday to going home at night, and staying with Chi Qing on the mountain for so long, she didn't tell Chi Qing her name?

So, Miss Chi, the benefactor I have been chasing after Chi Qing for so long, even recommended my own food to her, but didn't tell her my name?

If it wasn't for Chi Qing looking at her now, Xie Niannian would have knelt down on the spot covering his face, it was too embarrassing, and he felt stupid.

A blush touched Xie Niannian's earlobe, seeing the little girl's expression getting more and more uncomfortable, Chi Qing finally moved aside to open the door: "Come in and chat."

Xie Niannian hurried into the house with his things in his arms, not daring to look back at Chi Qing's expression.

So he didn't see the flashing smile on Chi Qing's lips.

The place where the fire last time was the kitchen, Xie Niannian took a look this time quietly, it should be the main house.

A screen divides the space of the room into two, and the room is very clean, even a bit empty.In this part isolated by the screen, there is only one table and two chairs.

No clutter, no frills.

As soon as Chi Qing entered the room, she found Xie Niannian sitting on a chair waiting for her with a cute face. The table was a bit small and was already full of things.

As soon as she saw Chi Qing, she smiled: "My name is Xie Niannian, and I live in Lihua Village by myself."

Chi Qing also sat down and nodded slightly to show that she heard.

Xie Niannian didn't forget what he came to Chi Qing for today: "The one in that paper bag was jujube cake. I tasted it, and it wasn't too sweet. I've already packed the umbrella and lantern, and they haven't been damaged."

While talking, Xie Niannian twitched his fingers, opened the tightly wrapped cloth bag, and took out the wooden food box.

As soon as the lid was opened, the rich and pungent smell of meat evaporated with the heat. The meat skewers in the box were covered with grease, and the taste should not have changed.

Xie Niannian pushed the food box in front of Chi Qing, and handed him a pair of bamboo chopsticks, impatient to see Chi Qing's reaction.

"Roasted meat?" Chi Qing looked at the excellent-looking barbecued meat in the food box with some surprise: "The smell is a bit strange, did you put pepper?"

"Huh? Do you know pepper?" Xie Niannian was curious.

Chi Qing didn't answer, she picked up a piece of barbecue and put it in her mouth, the spicy taste really surprised her.

Since pepper was introduced to the Dai Viet Dynasty, many cooks in the capital tried to season with pepper, and many people liked to eat it.

Their dosage and usage are different, but this is the first time Chi Qing has tasted something that makes people feel that the seasoning is just right.

"Is it delicious!" Xie Niannian hurriedly asked.

"It's okay."

Hearing this answer, Xie Niannian's eyes lit up a little.

She slapped the table and started to rub her feet, and began to talk about her grand ambitions: "I bought a small donkey cart, and bought several catties of peppers from the owner of the spice shop.

From then on, I will go to Xuanzhou City every morning to set up a stall to sell barbecue. The meat will be purchased in Xuanzhou City, and many people will definitely come to eat it! "

"By the way, I still need to find a blacksmith to build me a grill, the kind specially used for grilling meat."

Xie Niannian gestured excitedly, as if she had already seen a bright future beckoning to her.

Chi Qing picked up another piece of barbecue, chewed it slowly, and said, "Have you thought about it, if you fail this time, what will you live on?"

"Huh?", the beautiful imagination was interrupted, Xie Niannian put his hands behind his back, and said with some uncertainty: "Relying on cabbage and tofu?"
