After I traveled through the book, I spoiled the anorexic prince
Chapter 150 Drinking Soy Milk
Gu Qinghe had known for a long time that someone had been following her these days. When 001 said there was no danger, she thought it was someone secretly sent by Liu Bai or Xie Fuyi, but she didn't expect it was the real person.
"I'll help you?"
The man was standing in the yard in black, with a cautious look on his face.
Gu Qinghe was caught off guard when he saw him. His heart skipped a beat and after a long silence he said "OK".
With his help, grinding the beans was twice as easy with half the effort, and it seemed as if she and Xiaoqi were just playing around.
Gu Qinghe stood silently by the side. She didn't need to grind the beans. A few children helped her put the beans and water in. She seemed like an overseer.
But the seriousness he showed at the Rice Ball Restaurant is gone.
Perhaps it was because he only had three days to live, or perhaps it was because of the original owner's emotional disturbance, but the moment she saw Xie Fuyi carry the bucket into the kitchen and turn to leave, she grabbed him.
The surprise and joy in his eyes stung her so much that she felt a dull pain. She pursed her lips and said awkwardly, "Stay here. I may need your help later."
Gu Qinghe used a white cloth to separate the water and residue from the ground beans, leaving the raw soy milk. The water in the pot on the stove boiled, and she scooped the raw soy milk into the pot in batches.
In fact, this step is to pour raw soy milk into the pot, but she changed the process to save effort, so other outsiders naturally didn't understand.
Seeing her scooping raw soy milk non-stop, Xie Fuyi hesitated for a long time before saying, "Shall I scoop it?"
He cautiously asked her opinion.
Since the day she met him, Gu Qinghe had never seen him being so humble. She exhaled lightly, made way and said, "Pour this every time the water rolls over."
From the moment Xie Lan saw his master, he lowered his presence and quietly added fuel to the fire.
Xie Fuyi stared at the water in the pot carefully and did as he was told.
The water boiled for half an hour, and the raw soy milk inside began to churn. Gu Qinghe used a broom made of thin bamboo to blow off the foam on top.
During this time, Xie Fuyi's eyes never left her hand. Perhaps because he saw that her attitude had softened a little, he whispered "Be careful" when the tumbling water was about to splash on her hand.
The heat from the steam warmed her hands, and her heart also warmed up.
Gu Qinghe didn't reply to him, but was more careful the next time he sprinkled water.
The cooked soy milk passed through the tofu wrappers made of white cloth and flowed into the bucket. Gu Qinghe called the children who were guarding the kitchen to come in and served each of them a bowl of hot soy milk with sugar.
Xier was the first to use her chopsticks to eat some. She smacked her lips but couldn't taste anything. She said to Gu Qinghe coquettishly, "Aunt, this white water has no taste."
Gu Qinghe tasted some and slapped his head in annoyance.
She forgot to put sugar in the little girl's bowl...
The little girl loves sweets.
She scooped another bowl of soy milk and put more sugar in it: "Try it again."
Seeing the little girl using chopsticks to dip the food again, Gu Qinghe said with a smile: "Blow on the bowl and drink from it. Auntie guarantees that your bowl will be the sweetest!"
Xier obediently held the bowl with her little hands and drank a sip. As soon as the soy milk entered her throat, her eyes lit up instantly: "Auntie, it's really delicious! So sweet! I like it so much, Auntie is so awesome!"
The little girl praised her excitedly, no longer looking like a spoiled brat with a pout like before.
Gu Qinghe smiled and touched her small bun: "As long as Xier likes it."
She turned to look at the other children, only to see that their bowls were empty. They were holding their empty bowls and looking at her with bright eyes, and it was clear on their faces that they wanted another bowl.
She filled a bowl for Chang'an, and when she tried to fill a bowl for Xiaoqi and the others, she was rejected.
"Hmm?" Gu Qinghe scooped up a spoonful of soy milk and floated it in front of their eyes, teasing them deliberately: "Really? I'll let it solidify later, and then you won't have anything to eat."
Xiao Qi swallowed and shook his head firmly.
He knew that this was to be sold for money, so in his opinion, if he ate less, his family could make more money.
Influenced by him, the two teenage boys Cao'er and Hua'er also shook their heads.
How could Gu Qinghe not see the suppressed desire on their faces? She bowed slightly and looked at them: "I have treated you badly."
The three of them suddenly showed fear in their eyes.
Xiao Qi even bent her knees and said, "Miss, you are so kind to us. You provide us with food and shelter, and let us study, practice calligraphy and martial arts. How could you treat us unfairly? Miss, please don't say such things. It's my fault..."
More than ten years of begging made him want to kneel down and admit his mistakes. Gu Qinghe held him up and stopped him from kneeling: "Xiao Qi, if you kneel down to others casually next time, I will make you kneel for a whole day, and you can't get up!"
She said to the three people with a serious face: "Changan and Xier can have a second bowl, so can you. If you want to eat but don't get it, does it count as my unfair treatment? If you really want to do good for me and this family, you should learn to help each other, instead of you eating better and I eating less.
Once such an idea is established, someone will definitely feel unfair and resentful in the future, causing this family to fall apart. I brought you back to make your life better and give Changan and Xier a companion, not to let you move to another place to continue to suffer injustice! Do you three understand?"
Xiao Qi's eyes were red: "I understand, Miss."
Cao Er pursed her lips and bowed to Gu Qinghe solemnly: "Miss, your kindness today will be unforgettable to me forever!"
Hua Er clenched her sleeves, tears fell from her eyes, and she said in a sobbing voice: "Thank you, Miss."
Gu Qinghe didn't intend to let the three cry. He patted their heads and softened his voice to repay their gratitude: "If I'm not at the Gu family in the future, you will protect them for me. Now that I'm here, you will have everything you need to eat and learn."
The three of them responded in unison and engraved the words "protect the Gu family" in their hearts.
Gu Qinghe poured each of them another bowl of soy milk, and only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing them finish drinking and go out to play with smiles on their faces.
It's really hard to take care of children.
Especially sensitive children.
After Xie Fuyi and the others left, he asked her in a low voice: "What did you mean by the last sentence you said just now?"
People who practice martial arts naturally have good hearing.
Her words, which seemed to encourage people to repay their gratitude, were enough to fool children.
Gu Qinghe paused to breathe a sigh of relief, glanced at him, then turned to Xie Lan who was still sitting at the stove and said, "Master Lan, would you like to have a bowl?"
Xie Fuyi followed and looked at her.
Xie Lan was immediately under great pressure. She filled a bowl for herself and ran out with the bowl in her hand: "Miss Gu, I'm going to get some fresh air. My eyes are choked by the smoke. You should have a good chat with the master."
Gu Qinghe: “…”
Facing Xie Fuyi's warm gaze, she slowly raised her head and suggested in a low voice: "Would you like to have a bowl too? It's delicious, I'm not lying to you."
Xie Fuyi lowered his eyes and sighed softly: "Can you tell me the reason after drinking it?"
