Dressed as a vicious stepmother, the whole family is full of wealth

Chapter 429, Supper

Xiao Qing understands Li Huaixiao's meaning, new wine is packed in old wineskin bags, which are easy to burst.

"What can those two do? I definitely can't wait seven or eight days!" Xiao Qing said firmly.

The Li brothers, Ma Xian and the others fell silent.

After a while, Xiao Qing said: "Well, let's repair the first three cave dwellings first, and I'll find someone to find a solution for the biggest hole at the end. You guys start lighting the fire the day after tomorrow as soon as possible. What do you think?"

Remove the largest hole, and burn the remaining three together, which should be enough for the palace.

The Li brothers and a few older veterans lowered their heads and frowned for a while, thinking that the day after tomorrow must be too rushed.

"Okay, Shopkeeper Xiao, let's prepare to mend the hole!" Ma Xian said first.

I am afraid that there is no time to rest these two days. If it is to be completed in three days, it cannot be completed without working overnight. Several old men looked at each other in dismay.

"This manpower..." Li Huaijin asked.

"Don't worry, I'll go to the village to find someone tomorrow morning, thirteen or four, is that enough?" Xiao Qing asked.

The Li brothers nodded together and said in unison: "Enough!"

Xiao Qing smiled, seeing that Ma Xian did not leave after arranging the division of labor. She followed an old master to help fetch water and mud and dump straw. Because the headgear and clothes were in the way, she tore off the skirt and tied the extra skirt around her waist , Put the headgear aside again, and follow a few people to do it together!

The Li brothers didn't expect Xiao Qing to do it himself. How could a woman do such dirty work.

Li Huai came in front of Xiao Qing, wanting to take the bamboo basket in her hand: "Master Xiao, this is dirty, how can you do it with your clothes, just watch from the side, let's come!"

"It's okay, I'll help you, if you don't do well, just say it, I'll learn how to do it!" Xiao Qing thought about asking them to work in the middle of the night, and felt very sorry: "These days, I have to ask you to work all night. I'm very sorry, please worry about the two brothers!"

Some things need to be recognized by others after the fact. Others did not expect you to give extra material, but after a few days, they will come up with an idea. If this idea can be suppressed for two days, when the time is right , as soon as she gives it, they will work hard for you with all their hearts.

Li Huaijin smiled: "Working for shopkeeper Xiao is a blessing for us brothers!"

Xiao Qing pursed her lips and smiled, but said nothing. She saw that the dozen or so people who came with her started working together with shovels, buckets, and trowels. She put down the work in her hand and went outside.

Ma Xian said with a smile: "This work is dirty, the little princess can't stay for a moment, and we will work hard when she goes out."

"Yeah, she's here, I feel uncomfortable working, haha!" Li Huaixiao smiled cheerfully.

For a long time, no one knew where Xiao Qing had gone, Ma Xian and others thought she had returned to the capital.

When he was ugly, Li Huaijin was growling with hunger, and he walked lightly, and he didn't have the strength to carry a mud bag.

"Oh, my God, I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry! My stomach has been growling a few times, brother, how do you still have strength?"

Li Huaixiao smiled wryly: "Brother, I'm dizzy from hunger, I don't want to eat at night, and after working for so long, my chest is already on my back."

Ma Xian also rubbed his stomach and complained that he was hungry.

A few people became more and more hungry, and they endured it for a while, and tried their best to mix the mud. Finally, seven or eight people couldn't hold it anymore.

"Brother Ma Xian, go and buy us something to eat, I'm so hungry!" said the younger generations of the Liang family.

Ma Xian smiled and said, "Buy some food? It's midnight, not daytime, and besides, we're outside the city, where can we get something to eat?"

"I can't do it anymore, I really can't do it anymore!" Zhang Qiang was so tired that he directly dropped his pick and fell to the ground, not wanting to get up.

Seeing Zhang Qiang fell down, the others sat on the ground one after another without moving.

"I'm too tired, I can't do it anymore, I want to rest..."

"I can't do it either!"

Several people fell down one after another.

Ma Xian also sat down to rest, his spirit seemed to be taken away.

At this time, there was a smell of lard cooking from nowhere.

"Oh my God, who still cooks such a delicious dish in the middle of the night, it's so delicious! This dish must have been cooked with lard!" Li Huaixiao said loudly standing at the door.

Others also smelled it one after another, and their hunger became stronger. Ma Xian sighed: "The place of Shangjing is really different. In the middle of the night, there are still people getting up to cook. Do people in Shangjing eat so early?"

"Shangjing is full of gold, silver and gold are picked from the ground!" Li Huaijin said with a smile.

"Haha..." Several people laughed together.

Another smell of food came, and several people swallowed their saliva, thinking about what kind of food this person cooked, which was different from the food at Old Qiao's.

While they were talking about food, Xiao Qing arrived with two big baskets alone.

Seeing everyone collapsed and gasping for breath, she knew they were tired.

But Ma Xian waited for someone to see her coming, so he stood up quickly in fright, and explained: "Ma'am, the brothers are a little tired from working, lie down and rest for a while, then get up and continue working."

Several other people stood up one after another, weakly picking up picks and continuing to work.

Xiao Qing smiled, took off his sleeves and said: "Maxian, let them rest for a while, I made some food, I don't know if it's enough, you guys eat something first, it's not too late to do it after eating! "

She handed the basket to Ma Xian: "You guys are working here all night, come over and eat something before you work!"

Ma walked over first, and the Li brothers put down their work and walked over as well.

When they approached, Xiao Qing retreated quietly, not watching them eat.

She doesn't need to say more about the latter, just trust Ma Xian and them!

Xiao Qing went to Xishan Village to wash his hands, cleaned the kitchen again, and then lay down in front of the dry firewood pile and slept for a while.

After about two hours of sleep, it was almost ten o'clock, and she went to the village to find someone.

It took half an hour and a high price to find about ten helpers to arrange things here.

Seeing the end of the hour, Xiao Qing remembered the agreement with He Mingli, so she rode on her horse and rushed to the capital again.

Her headdress and body were muddy and dirty, and she had no time to go home to wash, so she had to go through it like this.

……

In the box of Qingfeng Restaurant, He Mingli still came to the box from last time. After being smashed last time, shopkeeper Jiang refurbished it, and it looked much better than before.

He Mingli invited a white-faced hair-pin flower student in brocade to drink high-quality tea.

"You don't come out often. The taste here is much better than before. Now there are two most famous flavors in Shangjing City, one is Qingfeng, and the other is hangover. The taste of the wine and food of these two is really delicious. Wait for you to eat Just two mouths will understand!" He Mingli said with a friendly smile.

The white-faced young man slightly raised his left eyebrow, glanced at the tea bowl in his hand, and saw that it was made of white jade porcelain, the corner of his mouth slightly twitched, he picked up the tea bowl and took a sip with confidence.

"Hmm... the taste of this tea is astringent!"

"Guard Su, you are always by the imperial concubine's side, and the tea you use is naturally the best. The things here are not as good as those in the palace. I've wronged you for making this trip all the time today!" He Mingli smiled politely.
