Happy peasant girl

Chapter 95
"Really? What a pity!" Master Kongchen said with some disappointment.

Lin Qingxi lowered her head, lying in front of the elder, she really felt a little psychologically uncomfortable.Fortunately, Master Kongchen didn't pay too much attention to it, and asked about Dongpo meat instead.

"Xi'er, is there a name for this delicious bowl of meat?" Among the dishes Lin Qingxi cooks, Master Kongchen loves this bowl of meat the most.

"Back to Master, this bowl of meat is called Dongpo Meat. I heard it from a passing scholar when I was at home." Just when she was thinking about what she should say in case the Huaishao people asked her.

"Xi'er, could it be that this Dongpo meat has some other origins? Let me tell you about it!" Su Shezhi asked curiously.

"Xi'er, tell me!" Huai Shaozhi has already noticed in the letters from Lu Zhiming and Zhang Xian that there are many secrets hidden in Linqingxi, and she doesn't like to make public, but likes to hide it. However, hiding one's own strength is not necessarily the best choice in many cases.

Lin Qingxi nodded and said: "The scholar said that a long time ago, there was a high-ranking official named Su Dongpo who just took office. There was a flood in the place where he was in office, so he led the people in the city to control the flood without fear of danger. Later, in order to thank this good official who always cared for the people and shared weal and woe with the people, the people slaughtered pigs, cattle, chickens and sheep and gave them to him. Su Dongpo accepted these things from the people, and then went to the kitchen to instruct the chef to prepare them Pork, beef, chicken and mutton were cooked and then returned to the common people, and this delicious meat has since been called 'Dongpo Meat'."

"I didn't expect this bowl of meat to have such an extraordinary story. It's just that good officials are hard to find, and I don't know if our state of Chu can produce another bowl of Dongpo meat." Huai Shaozhi listened to Linqingxi's story, Said very emotionally.

"Brother Shaozhi, don't force anything, just do your best, you have done a good job!" Among the five, Xue Shanping is the oldest, Huai Shaozhi is the youngest, and the five have known each other for a long time , so Xue Shanping watched Huai Shaozhi take the seat of Zaifu step by step.

It's just that the superficial glory does not make Huai Shaozhi, a loyal and good minister who takes the world as his own, any easier. On the contrary, the higher the position, the heavier the burden on him and the heavier his thoughts. If it weren't for a few apprentices Helping him wholeheartedly to assist the present sage, the state of Chu could not survive the three-year drought and the rebellion of King Ling, and he had already been buried under the loess.

Lin Qingxi doesn't know what kind of people are sitting in front of her at this time. To be honest, she doesn't care about it deep down. She just wants to do her own duty and plant her own field well. Live a safe and happy life with your family.

Therefore, when Huai Shao and the others were sighing and sighing, she just stood aside quietly, lowering her head slightly, until the sound of "cuckoo" in her stomach alarmed them.

"Haha, Xi'er, are you hungry?" Huai Shaozhi looked at Lin Qingxi with some amusement and asked.

Lin Qingxi's ears were red, she nodded embarrassedly, since she hadn't eaten anything since morning.

"You girl fed us and starved yourself!" Master Kong Chen also laughed.

"Yuanbao, take the silver and take Xi'er to the street to buy some snacks, but don't just eat it for yourself!" Huai Shaozhi took out some scattered silver from his pocket and gave it to Yuanbao, asking him to take Linqingxi to the street.

"Master, Yuanbao knows! Sister Qingxi, Fushouzhai's dim sum is delicious, I'll take you to eat it." It's been two days since I ate Fushouzhai's dim sum, and Yuan Bao's mouth is watering.

"Yuan Bao, where are my two elder brothers?" When following Yuan Bao out of the small bamboo courtyard, Lin Qingxi looked around, but did not find Lin Qingyun and Lin Qingfei.

"Ruda called them away just now. He should have taken them to the street for dinner. We're going too. Maybe we can meet them. Sister Qingxi, hurry up, hurry up, it's late, it's delicious There should be no more snacks." Yuan Bao couldn't wait any longer.

Lin Qingxi was almost dragged by Yuan Bao to the front of the Fushou Zhai gate. On the way, she didn't even have time to stroll around the streets of the capital, and because it was the Buddha Incense Festival, she and Yuan Bao were crowded in the crowd. Those who were squeezed into Fushouzhai.

Finally able to take a breath, after Lin Qingxi stood still, he wiped the sweat from his forehead vigorously, I really don't know how Yuan Bao's small stature has such great strength.

"Little brother, little brother, I want peach cake and pear cake." At this time, there were not many people in Fushou Zhai, Yuan Bao called out to the counter on tiptoe.

Maybe it was because Yuan Bao often came to buy pastries, and the shopkeeper and staff of Fushouzhai already knew him, so when they saw him, the shopkeeper and several staffs all laughed.

"Little Yuanbao, I haven't seen you for two days, hehe! You are lucky today, and you have the last box of peach blossom cake left." The shopkeeper of Fushouzhai personally took the silver from Yuanbao's hand, and then took out a box of peach blossoms Give him cakes and a box of pear cakes.

Just when Yuan Bao was about to take the peach blossom cake, he suddenly stretched out a small hand from the side and quickly grabbed the peach blossom cake, and said to him: "Hey, this box of peach blossom cake is mine, so you won't be able to eat it now, hehe ,can not eat!"

The peach blossom cake that was about to be obtained was snatched away, and the delicious Yuan Bao was annoyed immediately, and was about to turn around aggressively to teach this person a lesson, but after seeing this person's face, he withered.

"Yuan Bao has met Master Yutang!" Yuan Bao politely saluted Du Yutang who was half a year younger than him.

"Little Yuanbao, little Yuanbao, the peach blossom cake is mine this time, if you want to eat it, please beg me!" Du Yutang deliberately showed off by shaking the small box containing the peach blossom cake in front of Yuanbao.

If it was in the past, Yuan Bao would not have begged Du Yutang, but today he was arranged by Huai Shaozhi to bring him to Linqingxi to eat pastries. Peach Blossom Cake is more delicious, then he didn't do well what Huai Shaozhi told him to do.

"Okay, I beg you, please give me a piece of peach blossom cake, Sister Qingxi hasn't eaten it yet!" Yuan Bao said as if he had lost all his strength.

Du Yutang glanced curiously at Lin Qingxi next to Yuan Bao, pursed his lips on purpose and said, "That's your sister, not mine, why should I give it to her, you beg me to give it to you again, hee hee!"

"Then I beg you to feed me!" Yuan Bao took a deep breath and said again.

When Yuan Bao said this, Lin Qingxi could almost hear the sound of him grinding his teeth, he was really a child.

"Please, I won't give it to you, hee hee, I won't give it to you, you'll be so hungry!" Du Yutang simply put the peach blossom cake behind him, and said proudly to Yuan Bao.

Yuan Bao clenched his small fist, loosened his grip, and stared fiercely at Du Yutang with his big eyes.And Du Yutang didn't show any weakness, and also stared back at her.
