The farm life of the group pet Xiaoqi

Chapter 541
It is much better to wear a bamboo hat, and the frost will not wet the hair anymore.

Fortunately, guarding the charcoal stove, the evaporative dew with heat is not too heavy.

Xiao Qi sat honestly by the charcoal stove, it's not that she didn't think of taking this opportunity to practice sword skills, but Xiao Qi immediately dispelled this idea in her mind, if she practiced, she would definitely wake up Brother Qiu who had just fallen asleep.

Martial arts practitioners are much more sensitive to the outside world than normal people, not to mention Brother Qiu is already very strong in martial arts, and he might not be able to hide any disturbance from his ears.

Fortunately, there is not nothing to do, he took a wooden board from the carriage, and Xiaoqi guarded the charcoal stove to exercise his inner strength and mind.

The practice time always passes quickly, when Xiao Qi came back to his senses from the exercises, the sky had already brightened slightly.

After finishing the exercise, the girl stood up and stretched her body, moved her fists and feet a few times, gave up the idea of ​​practicing the knife, and stopped her hands and feet after practicing the boxing technique once.

Glancing at the two tents that were not moving, she smiled lightly, took out a few small pieces of sweet potatoes from the carriage and cleaned them, preparing to cook some porridge, steamed some steamed buns and eggs, and that was about it.

These are not difficult, Xiaoqi will still do it, as long as she doesn't let her cook and cook, as long as she doesn't get involved with oil, this girl still can't starve herself.

The sweet potato was cut into small pieces by Xiaoqi with a dagger and thrown into the pot, washed a few handfuls of rice and threw it in, followed Brother Qiu's example and added half a pot of water, then put the grate on and took some buns and eggs , Cover the pot and it will all work.

Then he took some dry firewood from the car and stuffed it into the charcoal stove.

After a while, the strong aroma of sweet potato porridge came. Xiaoqi was very satisfied with the smell, and she was also able to cook.

Maybe it was because the porridge smelled too strong, or maybe it was dawn, when the porridge was about to be cooked, Grandpa Cui and Brother Qiu came out of the tent at the same time.

"It's really fragrant, our Xiao Qi is getting more and more capable." Following the fragrance of porridge, Doctor Cui looked at Xiao Qi with a smile on his face, full of praise.

"Sweet, I also think it's very fragrant. It seems that my porridge cooking skills have improved again." Xiao Qi followed Grandpa Cui's words and said without humility, with a little bit of arrogance on her small face.

"Very fragrant." Dr. Cui nodded again very appreciatively, and then went to wash up at Xiao Qi's urging.

On the other side, Qiu Jing had already washed up, prepared the dishes and chopsticks in a good mood, and took over the rest from Xiao Qi's hands very naturally.

After eating and drinking enough, the next step is to rush on the road again.

Two days passed quickly, and when passing through a prefecture at noon, Xiao Qi and the others obviously felt that the atmosphere was different.

It seems that the people here are a little nervous, as if they are worried about something?
With doubts, Xiao Qi and their carriage stopped outside a restaurant that seemed to be of a reasonable size.

Under the leadership of the assistant, he settled the black beans, added some fodder water, and followed the assistant into the restaurant.

There are only a few tables of diners in the huge restaurant, which shows that the sequelae before the disaster are still very serious.

Xiaoqi and the others sat down at a window seat.

The waiter warmly poured a cup of tea for each of them.

"Guests, please have tea." "What do you want to eat? Our signature dishes are hung on the wall in front of you. You can have a look at them, or you can introduce them to the small ones." The head The guy with the blue cloth towel spoke attentively.

Receiving the gazes from Grandpa Cui and Brother Qiu, Xiao Qi, who didn't want to waste time, said to the waiter, "Two of your signature dishes, another soup and a vegetarian dish, and a few dry rice, that's all for now."

"Okay, sir, wait a moment!" Hearing this, the waiter put down the teapot in his hand, bowed and happily left to make arrangements.

Perhaps it was because there were so few customers that they didn't have to wait too long, and the food arrived on the table quickly.

When the buddy left, Xiaoqi called him, took out more than ten copper coins from his body, and handed them to him.

"Second brother, I want to ask you something."

The guy who received the money was obviously enthusiastic, "Just ask the guest if you have anything, as long as I know, I will tell you everything."

Xiaoqi: "Actually, it's nothing serious. I just find it strange. Since we entered the city, we felt that the atmosphere in Fucheng is a bit oppressive. Everyone seems to be a little serious. I wonder if something happened?"

"The guest officer originally asked about this matter, and his objective observation skills are really meticulous. The atmosphere in the capital city has indeed been a bit depressed these two days. The main reason is that the big guy heard that the barbarian army has driven out of the border, and the war may be imminent. Can you not be nervous when you hear about this?"

Then the guy glanced at the shopkeeper and said in a low voice, "Presumably the guest officer has also seen the business of the restaurant. Although there is also a reason for the epidemic, it is not as bleak as usual. Now everyone has some money in their hands and wants to buy food. There are fewer people going to restaurants to eat, and I want to keep some money in my hands, and if I can't hold on to the side hammer, I'd better leave as soon as possible."

"Well, I'm afraid the future will be difficult. In the past, General Wen had something to look forward to among the common people, but now that the general is very old, the situation is really not optimistic."

This guy speaks clearly and clearly, and I'm afraid he has heard a lot of people's comments these days.

Although he already had a bad premonition, Xiao Qi was still taken aback when he heard the news, and couldn't help but look at his elder brother and Grandpa Cui.

The clerk saw that the guest in front of him was digesting the news, so he retreated automatically with great insight.

As expected, the barbarian army would never let go of this good opportunity.

I hope that all the soldiers in the frontier can persevere. After all, the post-disaster situation in the prefectures and cities of Qing Province is much better than what she dreamed.

It should no longer be like in the dream, where the frontier soldiers were easily captured by the barbarians like a piece of loose sand.

"Don't think about it, kid, hurry up and hurry up after eating, and hurry back to Beichi County as soon as possible." Dr. Cui said with a solemn expression.

Especially at his age, he knows the cruelty after the war.

Xiao Qi nodded and didn't say any more, but from the speed of eating, it could be seen that she was anxious.

Qiu Jing's eyes became more serious, and he kept helping Xiao Qi with her favorite dishes while eating.

"Brother Qiu, you don't have to help me pick up your own food. Let's hurry up. I can't let go until I get home." Xiao Qi said to Brother Qiu after swallowing the food in his mouth.

"Okay" said, and picked up a few more meat dishes with chopsticks for Xiao Qi's family, Qiu Jing speeded up eating.

While eating Qiu Jing, he seemed to think of something again?Shouted to the buddy who was not far away.

"Xiaoer, help us pack some steamed buns and other easy-to-put foods. The more the better, we'll save them for the road." Then he took out a few copper coins from his pocket and handed them to the guy.

"Okay, wait a moment, sir." As he spoke, the waiter quickly walked towards the shopkeeper.

Xiaoqi, who was eating food, listened to Brother Qiu's arrangement, and felt very relieved. Brother Qiu and her thought of going together. I am afraid that there will be less and less rest time for the rest of the journey, so they should prepare more food.

After paying the bill with the packed food, they drove the carriage and left the restaurant without stopping.

Because of his anxiety, he didn't stay long in Fucheng. He said he added a bucket of water and didn't buy anything else. He went straight out of the city, ran on the official road and headed towards Beichi County.
