The Abandoned Woman of Space

Chapter 915

"Yes." Wu Xin nodded while holding the account book.

In the afternoon, Yun Mo took Yun Xiaotong and Wu Nian went out to Changping Marquis Mansion to see Elder Qin.

Arriving at Elder Qin's residence, Wu Nian stepped forward and knocked on the door. After a while, Qin Jiu opened the door with a creak. Seeing that it was Yun Mo, Qin Jiu smiled and quickly invited her in.

"Mr. Qin, Miss Yun, Young Master Yun has come to see you."

The three of Yun Mo followed Qin Jiu into the small courtyard, and as soon as they entered the first door, they saw curls of white smoke peeking out from the second door.

Looking at the fluttering white smoke, Yun Xiaotong asked Qin Jiu, "Brother Qin Jiu, Grandpa Qin is roasting chicken again?"

"Yeah." Qin Jiu nodded in distress, and while leading the three of Yunmo inside, he said, "Miss Yun, you don't know that since Mr. Qin ate your roasted meat, he has disliked my cooking. It's delicious, but when you weren't here, he would cook it himself, making the yard full of smog."

Seeing Qin Jiu's face full of resentment, Yun Mo felt very sorry.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Qin, a fat old man, could make such a fuss.

While talking, the four of them entered the second door, Yun Mo raised his eyebrows, and saw Mr. Qin squatting on the ground burning a brazier, beside him, there was a plucked chicken.

When Mr. Qin heard the sound of kicking footsteps, he turned his head and saw that it was Yun Mo, with an excited expression on his face, but after a few seconds, he put on a serious face and stared at Yun Mo.

"You damn girl, tricked the old man down the mountain and taught you the technique of carving jade. You'd be better off leaving the old man in this small courtyard. Don't ask me. What about the roast chicken you agreed to, what about the roast rabbit you agreed to roast? What about the grilled fish..."

The fat old man rambled on for a long time, Yun Mo picked out his ears, really wronged.

A while ago, she ran to this small courtyard almost every day, cooking roast chicken, roast rabbit, and grilled fish for the fat old man. Recently, because of something, she came here once every four or five days.

"Old Qin, I was wrong, calm down, old man, don't argue with me, a junior."

Unable to offend the fat old man, Yun Mo could hide, raised the corners of her lips, and walked to Elder Qin with a smile.

Apart from being able to toss a little, this fat old man is actually quite cute.

Elder Qin gave Yun Mo a reproachful look, blew at the stubble on his mouth, and said, "Damn girl, come today, do you want me to give you something to taste?"

"Old Qin is the one who knows me." Yun Mo narrowed his eyes and smiled, flattering him.

"Don't make friends with me, I'll roast this chicken first, and then I'll look at it for you." Elder Qin picked up the chicken that had been plucked clean from the shelf, and stuffed it in front of Yunmo.

Yunmo looked at the fat chicken on the shelf, and raised her hand to support her forehead, "Grandpa Qin, during this time, you either eat chicken or rabbit, and if you don't eat rabbit, you eat fish, you eat meat every day, and you eat meat every day. Aren't you afraid of gaining weight? Also, Uncle Ruqing said that the old man must eat meat and vegetables to be in good health."

For a while, the little guy got to know Mr. Qin well, and he spoke a lot more casually.

Master Qin walked up to Yun Xiaotong and rewarded him with fried chestnuts, "You little brat, what do you know, be careful, grandpa will give you chicken butt to eat."

Yun Xiaotong touched his head, it hurt so much.

Seeing the greedy look of the fat old man, Yun Mo had no choice but to order Wu Nian to light the brazier, and then helped Qin Lao roast the chicken.

"Mr. Qin, today, do you want the honey flavor or the spicy flavor?"

"Can it be half spicy and half honey?" Qin Lao blinked his eyes and looked at Yunmo expectantly.

A black line slid down Yunmo's forehead, "Sure, you old man wants to eat, no matter how difficult it is, I, a damn girl, have to do it." While answering Mr. Qin, she picked up a brush and brushed seasoning on the chicken.

This fat old man's taste is really getting more and more tricky.

Chicken fat dripped into the brazier, sizzling.

After a while, Mr. Qin saw that the chicken in Yunmo's hand was roasted until it was golden in color, the skin was crispy and the meat was tender, and he smiled so much that he showed his teeth.

"It's ready, old man, please use it slowly." Yunmo smiled and handed over the roasted chicken.

Mr. Qin took it, broke off a chicken leg and gave it to Yun Xiaotong, and then ate it with big mouthfuls.

After eating most of the roast chicken, he was so full that he called Yun Mo to the teahouse.

Qin Jiu brought tea in, he took a sip to rinse his mouth, put down the teacup and said to Yun Mo: "Girl, take out your work during this time."

Yun Mo nodded, and gave Wu Nian a wink.

Wu Nian brought a wooden box that she brought to Elder Qin, and then opened the wooden box.

The wooden box was opened, and inside was a jade statue of Avalokitesvara, which was green and clear without any impurities. Any stitching place, reflecting the light, glows brightly in the box, and you can tell at a glance that it is priceless.

"Mr. Qin, this is the statue of Avalokitesvara that I spent half a month carving, what do you think?" While speaking, Yunmo's gaze was fixed on Mr. Qin's face, with nervousness in his eyes.

During this period of time, her work has been rejected many times by Mr. Qin. This Guanyin jade statue is her most proud work. If it is rejected again... it will hurt her confidence.

Mr. Qin took out a convex crystal glass mirror, and through the lens, carefully observed the Guanyin image inside the box.

"The Avalokitesvara statue is full of charm, the carving lines are also very delicate, and the polishing is very smooth..."

Yunmo listened to Mr. Qin's evaluation for a long time, and babbled a lot, but didn't give a conclusion, and she was so anxious, "So, Mr. Qin, are you satisfied with this work or not?"

"So-so." Elder Qin finally put down the crystal mirror in his hand.

Hearing the words "so-so", Yun Mola raised her head with a sad face. This technique of carving jade is really difficult to learn.

Seeing her mournful face, Mr. Qin stroked his beard, and added, "However, it is already much better than the few works you carved before, and it must be considered invaluable."

Yunmo choked.

The fat old man was making fun of her.
