The hunter's husband is so sweet

Chapter 186 Vinegar and Pepper Tofu

While waiting for Fu Jingyi to come back, Qi Xuan had already prepared the side dishes, including some mutton, pork belly, eggplant and potatoes, all skewered together and grilled for dinner. For lunch, he also decided to have some sesame seed buns and pork tenderloin, and a bowl of egg drop soup. Sesame seed buns could also be used as a staple food at night, so he made more.

Unexpectedly, when Fu Jingyi came back, he was followed by a group of little followers, including Qi Zheng, Qi Yue, Zhang Hui, and Qi Jun and Qi Yi from the village chief's family.

"Why are you here now?" It turned out that except for a few elders, the young ones had gathered together.

"I'm here to help, they're all here for free food," Qi Yue said first. Zhang Hui wasn't to be outdone, "I'm here to deliver food," he said, holding up the meat, vegetables and seafood in his hand.

Qi Xuan saw that there were mushrooms in the dishes sent by Zhang Hui, which could be roasted and eaten, so the remaining dishes were put in the granary and the meat in the ice cellar. Qi Jun and Qi Yi from the village chief's family had never seen what the ice cellar looked like, and they insisted on going with Zhang Hui to take a look.

"Have you all had lunch?" Qi Xuan asked while cleaning the mushrooms. Qi Yue shook her head, "No, we all came here after hearing what Brother said."

Qi Zheng had already gone to the study to find Lin Chen. Fortunately, Lin Chen had heard the noise and put away the album Qi Xuan had given him. He took out another one to look at, and put the traced pictures on the table to wait for the ink to dry.

Qi Zheng took out some embroidery threads for Lin Chen, all of which were top-quality silk threads. "Hey! Brother Zheng, where did you get this?" Lin Chen was very surprised when he saw it. This kind of silk thread was hard to find here, and it was usually popular in the water towns of the south of the Yangtze River.

"It was brought back by the escort who was delivering goods to the Jiangnan area before. I asked him to buy it for me. I didn't know what color you needed, so I bought all kinds." This was also what Qi Zheng asked the embroiderers from the shop where he bought the embroidery frame before. They said that the best embroidery threads are generally in the Jiangnan area. It happened that a convoy had gone there before, so Qi Zheng specially asked the escort to bring it back.

Lin Chen was touched as he took the silk threads and said, "Brother Zheng, these must have cost a lot of money. Thank you, I like them very much."

It did cost a lot of money, but Lin Chen's happiness was the most important thing. Qi Zheng shook his head, "We can earn more money, but we don't know when they will go next time, so we must buy it for my little Chen."

Lin Chen patted his chest and said, "Shopkeeper Lin has money, so he is not afraid to spend it." Qi Zheng was touched by his cute look and said, "Okay, Shopkeeper Lin has money, so I will let Shopkeeper Lin support me in the future."

Lin Chen nodded, "No problem, Manager Lin will definitely keep you fat and white." The two chatted and laughed in the house. In the yard, Qi Jun first took his brother and Bai Ji to play for a while, and then let Brother Yi sit on the swing while he pushed it. He acted like a good brother. Qi Yue was a little envious and said to Zhang Hui, "Brother An, look at his brother, and then look at my brother who only has eyes for his son Xiao Chen."

Zhang Hui smiled, "When Qi Jun finds his sweetheart, it will probably be the same." After hearing this, Qi Yi turned around and asked his brother, "Brother, when I have a sister-in-law in the future, will you still push the swing for me?"

"Push, I will push you for the rest of my life." Qi Jun answered confidently, but less than a year after he said that, Qi Yi looked at his brother chasing after his future sister-in-law every day with a look of disgust. He even complained to Qi Yue, who was already pregnant at the time, "No one said they would push me on the swing for the rest of my life. Humph!"

Everyone hadn't eaten lunch when they arrived, so Qi Xuan had to make a lot more sesame seed buns. He and Qi Yue were busy kneading dough and making sesame seed buns in the kitchen, wailing in his heart, "I should have invited them in the afternoon. Why did they make so many more sesame seed buns for no reason? He's almost become Qi Dalang."

Qi Yue was the same. Why did he have to come over to make sesame cakes when he could just stay at home and wait for his mother to cook for him? They both sighed and looked at each other. They saw helplessness in each other's eyes and lowered their heads to continue kneading the dough.

Fu Jingyi was helpless with this bunch of little tails, he couldn't drive them away, they had to follow him. This made his husband have to cook another meal. After Lin Chen stayed with Qi Zheng for a while, he also came to the kitchen to help, "Brother, let me do it. Don't we have to make egg drop soup? You go make that."

Lin Chen also wanted to give Qi Xuan some time to rest. Kneading dough requires a lot of strength, and your arms will hurt after a long time.

"It's okay, it's almost done. Xiaoyue and I made some more so we can have dinner tonight." Qi Xuan moved his sore shoulders and upper arms. "Let them string the eggplants and potato slices in the afternoon. I'll cut some more later. We can't let them just eat and not work."

"Yes, it's not good to just eat every day." Qi Yue also echoed.

It was time to eat. Fu Jingyi and Zhang Hui moved a big table, and Qi Zheng went to prepare the dishes, which gave Qi Xuan and the other two some time to rest. Seeing that the young man was so tired, Zhang Hui slapped Qi Jun on the back of his head and said, "Go get some skewers for me in the afternoon. If you don't work, you won't have any food."

"Ouch" Qi Jun covered the back of his head which was hurt from being hit, "Hehe, of course." Qi Yi also knew that he and his brother had to follow along because they were playing around, causing trouble for others, and he felt a little sorry for it and wanted to help.

Qi Xuan pulled him, "Let those stinky men go, they have energy but nowhere to use it, just work for me." He directed them, "In the afternoon, Qi Jun will go to skewer the skewers for me, Zhang Hui, you go to burn charcoal, and big brother will go to invite Grandpa Zhang and godmother, the village chief and others."

"You have arranged work for us, so where is your husband?" Zhang Hui asked. Now that everyone was familiar with each other, they had no scruples when talking.

Qi Xuan put her hands on her hips and snorted, "My man accompanied me to the town this morning, and went to buy tofu when he came back. He also brought all of you here. This is all work."

Zhang Hui was stunned, looking at Fu Jingyi who was laughing over there, "Okay, okay, you just feel sorry for your man." After that, he looked at Qi Yue, "Xiao Yue'er, your brother Xuan bullied me." He blinked pitifully.

Unexpectedly, Qi Yue ignored him and said, "If you want to work, go. If you don't want to make charcoal, go out and call the village chief and others. Let my brother make the charcoal. It's settled."

"Agree!" Qi Xuan, Lin Chen, Fu Jingyi, and Qi Zheng spoke at the same time. Zhang Hui curled his lips and muttered softly, "One is my husband-to-be, and the rest are his family members. I can't beat them, I can't beat them."

Qi Jun and Qi Yi had never eaten sesame seed buns. "Wow, Brother Xuan, this is so delicious." He looked at Fu Jingyi and said, "Brother Fu, your meals are so good." He was really envious and said it sincerely. But when Fu Jingyi heard it, it sounded different. "Yes, yes, I eat very well."

Qi Xuan's ears turned red after Fu Jingyi finished speaking. The stinky man even emphasized the three words "very good", and one could tell at a glance that he was talking about something improper.

After lunch, Qi Xuan, Lin Chen and Qi Yueren took Qi Yi to Lin Chen's house to play, leaving the men to work in the yard. The charcoal burning job was finally left to Qi Zheng. When the sun went down and Zhang Hui brought a few elders to Qi Xuan's house, the children had already started roasting.

"I smelled the fragrance as soon as I entered the door. What delicious food is this?" The village chief said as soon as he stepped into the door. Qi Jun saw his father and mother coming and handed over a few skewers of roasted meat. "I made these. You guys have a taste."

A dozen people sat together, eating grilled skewers lively. "The vinegar and pepper tofu is here." Qi Xuan came out of the kitchen holding a casserole, using a cloth to insulate it from heat.

The casserole was placed in the middle. Lin Chen stood up to help the elders to serve. Aunt Wang tasted it first and said, "You put pepper in it. It tastes warm."

Qi Xuan nodded, "It's cold, drinking something is just right to warm up the body. There's still a pot, everyone can drink as much as they want." After saying that, he sat next to Fu Jingyi and took the skewers handed over by the man. Today they took turns grilling skewers, and everyone would grill a few skewers after eating for a while, so that Qi Xuan would not have to suffer alone.
