Chapter 198 No manpower available, just use ghost power
Xie Beiming was holding a small white jade porcelain bowl to help Shen Qiqi fill the soup. Seeing her staring at him, he raised his eyes and asked her, "What's wrong?" and then handed the filled soup to her.
Shen Qiqi swallowed the soft, glutinous and fragrant braised pork in her mouth, and reached out to take the soup bowl.
While gently scratching the wall of the bowl with a small porcelain spoon, she smiled at Xie Beiming and said: "It's okay, I just feel lucky that Yinqiao can cook, otherwise I'm afraid I will be hungry. After all, Aunt Tian returned to her hometown to take care of herself." He’s already old, isn’t he?”
As he spoke, he glanced at Xie Beiming vaguely, and sure enough he saw Xie Beiming's hand shaking when he was serving soup.
But it just shook a little.
After a moment of panic, Xie Beiming put down the soup bowl as if nothing had happened, took out the handkerchief, and wiped away the drop of soup splashed on the back of his hand.
His movements were slow and slow, there was no trace of panic in the whole process, and there was not even a crack in his facial expression. He even nodded in agreement and echoed Shen Qiqi's words: "Yinqiao's cooking skills are indeed good. With time, she will definitely be able to surpass Tian." Aunt."
Shen Qiqi's calm look made Shen Qiqi secretly grind her teeth, saying to herself, "Pretend, just pretend as hard as you can. Just wait and see, there will come a day when you can't pretend anymore."
She brought the soup bowl in her hand to her mouth. She didn't even use the spoon and poured it directly into her mouth as if she were drinking water.
Eat quickly, and then go to work. After finishing the work, she can see Mr. Xie's large-scale death scene.
Seeing her drinking the fish soup like boiled water, Xie Beiming was afraid that the fish soup might be mixed with fish bones that had slipped through the net, so he reminded her: "Drink slowly, be careful that there are fish bones in the soup."
When Yin Qiao, who was helping Shen Qiqi prepare the dishes, heard this, she quickly said: "Mr. Xie, please don't worry. Before canning this fish soup, my maid filtered it three times with fine cotton gauze, so there will be no fish bones."
The fact that the girl drank so much soup showed that her cooking skills have improved again, and the girl is becoming more and more recognized for her cooking skills.
Thinking of this, Yin Qiao couldn't help but feel very happy. She said to Shen Qiqi: "Girl, I have been honing my cooking skills these days. Those dishes you said you wanted to eat a few days ago, my servant I've already made one, it tastes pretty good, but it's that red..."
The following words were interrupted by a series of coughs.
Seeing that Shen Qiqi was suddenly choked, Yin Qiao quickly stopped talking and asked anxiously: "How are you, miss? Are you okay?"
Xie Beiming stood up and walked around behind Shen Qiqi, patting her back gently to help her calm down.
Shen Qiqi almost choked to death from a mouthful of soup. Even now, her throat is still burning. It's no wonder that it's okay.
Fortunately, Yin Qiao was stopped in time, so her suffering was not in vain.
Taking the tea handed over by Xie Beiming, Shen Qiqi rinsed her mouth and poured in half a cup of tea. The burning discomfort in her throat subsided.
"Is it better?" Xie Beiming's eyebrows squeezed out a deeply furrowed word "Chuan", which was filled with worry.
Shen Qiqi felt a little guilty and didn't dare to look into his eyes. She just nodded casually and said, "Well, it's much better." She was afraid that Yin Qiao would pick up what she had just said again, so she quickly moved away from her and said, "Yin Qiao, I want to drink." The honey is in water, please go back and bring me some."
"Honey water can soothe your throat. That's why the girl choked on her throat. It is indeed good to drink some honey water. Girl, wait a minute. I will go back and get the honey water for you."
Yinqiao didn't doubt that he was there, so she turned around and ran back to get honey water for Shen Qiqi.
Shen Qiqi waited for her to walk away, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she would reveal her plan to Yin Qiao when she went back, so as not to let Yin Qiao accidentally spill the beans and ruin her plan again.
Shen Qiqi was stuffing food into her mouth haphazardly and thinking about it in her heart, when her wrist was suddenly held by a hand.
She raised her head in astonishment and saw Xie Beiming holding her wrist with one hand and holding the chopsticks in the other hand. He gently touched her chopsticks and said, "When you eat, just eat well and don't think about it." Thinking about this thing is not good for digestion."
The tone was rare and harsh, with a hint of condemnation, like a parent blaming a child for not eating well.
Shen Qiqi was stunned for a while before she managed to get Mr. Xie out of his role as a parent. She swallowed the chewed vegetables in her mouth and said, "Really? Oh, then I will remember it. I won't do this again." ."
As he said this, the chopsticks began to quickly put rice into his mouth.
There was no trace of memorizing this. It was obvious that the ears had heard it, but the heart did not take it seriously.
Xie Beiming was helpless. He rubbed his forehead and felt a headache. He hesitated for a moment and then said: "If the construction period is really tight, we might as well add more manpower."
"I would also like to add more manpower, but the problem is that no one is available for me." Shen Qiqi sighed.
Only at this time can the importance of the prosperity of the teacher's family be revealed.
If only her master could recruit a few more disciples, she wouldn't be as exhausted as she is now, shouldering all the big and small things.
The other peaks have prosperous schools and no shortage of disciples, but the problem is that it is not easy for her to borrow them - Huichun Peak is willing to borrow people. That is because Taiqing Xianzun, the elder of Huichun Peak, occasionally asks Wu Qiongcang to inquire. For example, if he needs some medicinal herbs, the living people don’t know where to find them, but they can find out about them from the dead.
Besides, Wu Qiongcang personally went to Huichun Peak again, and Immortal Taiqing didn't dare not borrow it.
As for Qingyin Peak, that is because the elder of Qingyin Peak, Yuyuan Xianzun, already has a friendship with Wu Qiongcang.
What's more, there is Xie Beiming in the middle.
As for the other peaks... Shen Qiqi is really not sure that she can borrow anyone.
It's all hard work of digging mountains and clearing wasteland. Not only is it tiring, but you haven't learned anything yet. Who would want to come here and suffer this kind of fatigue?
Shen Qiqi grabbed her hair sadly, but at this moment, she suddenly heard Xie Beiming say: "If there is no manpower to add, then use ghost power."
"What?" Shen Qiqi, who was grabbing her hair, was startled and almost pulled off a handful of hair.
The dignified Young Master Xie, a role model for the children of the aristocratic family, actually told her to use ghost power... Could it be that she was hallucinating!
Or is she dreaming?
Shen Qiqi put down her chopsticks and quietly pinched her own leg.
The pain swept over me instantly!
If it's not a dream... then it's an auditory hallucination?
Shen Qiqi endured the pain in her legs, looked at Xie Beiming with wide eyes, and asked him in disbelief: "Master Xie, did you just say that you used ghost power?"
