Happy peasant girl

Chapter 90 Qingxi enters Beijing (5)
Under the dense rain curtain, she couldn't see the faces of these beggars. She could only see two beggars holding a broken mat to keep out the rain. There were two little beggars under the mat. There are two or three beggars under the black pot.

"Mother, I'm hungry!" Just as Lin Qingxi was about to move his eyes away from these beggars, he heard a little beggar under the broken mat raise his sunken face and say to the person beside him who had been supporting the mat.

Just now, these beggars have already been begging in the temple, but they don't know when the rain will fall or when they can enter Beijing, so they kindly gave them some food, while the others didn't know. He drove them to the corner of the courtyard in disgust.

"Xia Rong, is there any more dry food we brought?" The careful Huai in the carriage also heard the little beggar's cry of hunger, so he was going to bring out some food.

"Ma'am, there isn't much left. There are only some rice noodles that Miss bought a few days ago in the car, but there are not many." Xia Rong knew that Huai's heart was good, but just like many people were worried, she was also worried that the rain would Keep going, when all the food is given to beggars, they will be hungry.

Lin Qingxi glanced at the yard, with a smile on his face, and then said to Huai in the carriage: "Master, don't worry, I found something to eat."

"What is it?" Huai asked in the car, this little apprentice can always surprise her.

"Mistress will find out later, but Sister Xia Rong will give me some raw noodles later." Lin Qingxi said mischievously.

"Here it is for you!" Xia Rong also said with a smile in the carriage.

Lin Qingfei followed Lin Qingxi's gaze just now, and now he knew what she was going to do, so before Lin Qingxi stepped out of the tent, he quickly grabbed her and said, "Xi girl, are you here?" Waiting, third brother will dig Malan vegetables for you, and let third brother eat two more wild vegetable pancakes."

"Third brother, when did you become a roundworm in my stomach, why do you know what I think and do?" Lin Qingxi looked at Lin Qingfei in surprise and said.

"What kind of roundworm is not roundworm, you are my sister, I know what you think, little girl, stay here!" Lin Qingfei pampered Lin Qingxi's little nose, and then ran to the A weedy place in the ruined temple, where there are many unobtrusive green Malan vegetables.

Lin Qingyun also followed Lin Qingfei to dig Malan vegetables. Since two older brothers were willing to help, Lin Qingxi asked Lin Qixi and Lu Da to go to the temple to see if they could find some dry firewood, and then called a yamen servant She went to the nearby river to get clean water, and she herself ran to a beggar to borrow pots.

"Excuse me, can you lend me your pot, as a thank you, I can let you eat the wild vegetable pancakes I made later, is that okay?" Lin Qingxi asked a little cautiously.

Several beggars were taken aback by her behavior, but soon the beggar holding the pot gave her the pot and said, "If you don't think it's dirty, take it."

"I don't dislike it, thank you! By the way, you can't take shelter from the rain here, why don't you hide in the tent?" Linqingxi saw that there were children among these beggars, and his sympathy began to flood again.

"Girl, thank you for your kindness, please take pity on these two children, and give them something delicious to eat!" As a last resort, he became a beggar, and one of the old people holding the mat felt that Linqingxi was a very kind-hearted little girl. girl, so she spoke.

"Old man, I will prepare the food very quickly, and I will be able to eat it in a while." Lin Qingxi didn't say much, and planned to go back with the big pot in her arms. Fortunately, a yamen servant who followed behind helped her past.

After Lin Qingfei and Lin Qingyun dug the Malan vegetables, they helped Lin Qingxi pick them, wash them, and chop them with the short blades they brought.

Lin Qingxi directly mixed the noodles and chopped Malan vegetables in an iron pot that had been washed twice by rainwater, and then Lin Qingfei found a clean small wooden board, put the reconciled noodles on it, After boiling hot water in the pot, Linqingxi began to paste vegetable pancakes.

After pasting it, she used the small wooden board as a pot lid to cover the pot. Although it couldn't cover the entire cauldron, it was more or less useful.

Seeing what the Linqingxi people did after they entered the ruined temple, some people in the ruined temple expressed their views on them.

"This girl is kind-hearted and dexterous!" The old troupe master who traveled the world as a performer looked at Lin Qingxi and nodded frequently.

"Fool!" A young man with the appearance of a businessman cast a disdainful look at Lin Qingxi and the others.

"A countryman is just a countryman. He even eats grass. I really think it's a treasure!" A servant girl next to a rich lady held a clean brocade handkerchief and covered her nose, as if she was exuding something exciting from Lin Qingxi's body. Unbearable smell.

The young lady next to this servant girl just glanced in the direction of Linqingxi lightly, and then snorted coldly when the rich man beside her was not paying attention.

Lin Qingxi was concentrating on pasting the vegetable pancakes. She didn't mind the way others looked at her at this time, because she couldn't perceive it at all, and even if she could, she wouldn't act as if it was her eyes. one thing.

The rain gradually became lighter, and a unique and alluring fragrance began to waft out of the big iron pot, which seduced the gluttons in people's stomachs.

Not only the beggars, but also some people in the ruined temple were also attracted by the smell of the pancakes, but they would not compete with beggars for food.

After the pancakes were cooked, Linqingxi asked those beggars to eat them in a small tent, but Lu Da and Lin Qixi didn't care whether the pancakes belonged to beggars or whether they competed with beggars again. Serving hot pancakes is already very difficult for them.

Hiding from the rain in the ruined temple was just a small episode before Linqingxi entered the capital, and there was no disturbance. After a peaceful night, the rain stopped, and the road leading to the gate of the capital was blocked by the soldiers of the city guards. It was repaired overnight.

In the early morning of the next day, Lin Qingyun and Lin Qingfei drove Huai's family and Lin Qingxi into the east gate of Chu State's capital - Tianzhimen in a carriage.

It’s just that it’s not easy to walk after entering the city gate. The roads in the capital of Chu State are very wide, and there is no problem for four carriages to drive side by side. Coincidentally, the day when Linqingxi and Huai’s arrived was from Chu State. During the Buddhist Incense Festival, the streets of the capital were full of people, and the carriages were driving very slowly.

Lin Qingxi thought, she might have encountered a "traffic jam" in ancient times. If it wasn't for Mrs. Huai not allowing her to get out of the car, she really planned to walk to her master's house by two feet. I can't see my teacher.

"Xi'er, the capital city is no better than Fu'an County, you don't act without authorization, and don't run around, you understand?" Huai brought Qingxi to the capital this time, and to be honest, she felt pressure deep in her heart.
