C7 Ugliness Rejection

At noon, Helian Shu and Helian Chu ran back to the Ru Yi gambling den after being informed that no one was going. When they arrived at the door, they smelled the fragrance of meat and hastened their steps.

As they walked to the kitchen, they saw Helian Qi, who had never been in the kitchen before, skillfully fried the eggs. The twins were lighting the fire. Qi Yue sat on the chair and looked at the pot, asking if she could help.

On the table were two big bowls of pickled fish. Their appearance and taste were very alluring.

"Shu, Chu, you're back?" When Qi Yue heard the voice, she turned around and smiled.

"Mm …" "Where did you get this fish?" Helian Shu said with a stern expression as she tore her gaze away from the bowl.

Helian Zhen happily learnt it for her again. This way, it made Helian Shu completely confused.

Helian Xue silently added fuel to the fire. Qi Yue covered her mouth as she smiled and explained, "It was Qi who caught them in the river. His actions were just like what Zhen said."

"He can catch fish?" Helian Shu was so shocked that her expression was twisted. It was as though she had seen an alien.

Helian Qi smiled proudly, "Ang, how is it? Do you admire him?"

The corner of Helian Shu's mouth twitched as she said calmly, "Oh."

Seeing this, Helian Chu came out to smooth things over. "Big brother is so awesome. Usually, we have to spend a lot of effort to catch this fish, and sometimes we even return empty-handed."

"Hehe, let's eat. The onion and egg are ready to fry." Helian Qi scooped out a wooden shovel, scooped out an onion egg and put it into a bowl. "Okay, Zhen, Xiaoxue, go wash your hands and eat."

"Alright." The twins came out and dusted themselves off and obediently washed their hands.

Originally, he thought that Helian Qi would go wash his hands and eat dinner after placing the bowl on the table. Unexpectedly, someone carried a pot out.

The two of them stepped aside and stared at his back for a while. Helian Shu couldn't understand it no matter how she thought about it. "He actually knows to wash the wok after cooking?"

Helian Chu had never seen anyone working in the kitchen before, so she didn't comment.

Qi Yue shook her head helplessly. She had no idea when people had learned to do this, so she said, "Wash your hands and eat. We still have lessons in the afternoon."

"Yes." Helian Shu's eyes flickered as she turned around to leave.

The small table was somewhat old, and the chairs were swaying slightly. However, this did not affect the heated gazes of the several people who were looking at the dishes on the table.

"Let's not talk about anything else. This is my first time cooking. It's so tasty …" You guys should take more responsibility. " No wonder. In this world, this was indeed his first time. In his previous life, he went to a hotel kitchen to secretly learn how to write delicious food in order to write a novel. In the end, the master couldn't stand it any longer and taught him a few moves, while he also made notes on the rest.

First time cooking? Helian Shu hurriedly picked up a piece of fish and put it in her mouth. After a moment, she looked at him with wide eyes.

"Shu, what's wrong?" Qi Yue also picked up a piece and ate it while looking at Helian Qi.

The others picked up their chopsticks one by one and opened their eyes wide.

"Big brother!" "So many times!" Helian Zhen was a little reluctant to eat the fish. She had never eaten such delicious fish before.

Helian Qi let out a sigh of relief. He thought it was a mistake and broke out in a cold sweat. "If it's delicious, I'll eat more. However, I can't eat too many sour fish, so I can eat more scallion eggs." As he spoke, he picked up a large piece and placed it into the bowl.

"Yes, yes. Big brother will also eat." Helian Zhen grabbed the chopsticks and dropped them on the table. She bit her lips, not knowing what to do.

Helian Qi ate it without even frowning, "Yes, Zhen's food is indeed delicious." After eating, he looked at the others who were looking at him and asked in puzzlement, "Unsuitable for him? Why are you all looking at me? "

"No …" Qi Yue heaved a sigh of relief as she ate. "Other than a piece of fish from the beginning, everything else depends on Helian Qi." "Enough, enough. You guys just need to eat."

"Mom, you worked hard enough in the morning, so I can't help much. Eat more and make up for it. Moreover, this isn't the last meal. In the future, I will work hard to make all of you eat your fill."

Helian Shu saw that it was rare for him to not say anything to strike at her, so she just ate by herself. In the afternoon was the body arts exam, she really needed flesh to replenish her strength.

The one who ate the least was Helian Qi. He also wanted to eat more, but he couldn't. On the contrary, it was his sisters who ate a big bowl of rice after seeing that he was full. Helian Shu even ate two big bowls. Helian Qi thought that it was reasonable for them to be strong.

"Mom, can you give me 20 gold coins?" In the afternoon I went out to buy vegetables and to see if there was anything I could do. " After calculating the price of the Yunyang City, Helian Qi said with a smile.

Helian Shu retorted reflexively, "No way." Then he felt that his tone wasn't too good and slowly said, "What do you want to eat? Chu and I will bring it back after school."

Helian Qi's smile became wider, and he said in a leisurely manner, "Shu, don't worry. I'm just here to buy food and find something to do. Otherwise, do you want Mom to be this tired every day? Next year, Zhen and Xiao Xue will also be old enough to go to school, so tuition fees are also a problem. You still need to study for two more years, Chu still has three more years. "

Hearing this, the few of them did not say anything.

"If you're worried, then you can just fix me some sort of glyph." Helian Qi blinked his eyes in ridicule.

Helian Shu blushed. "If you want to go, then go. If you dare to disobey, I … I will really break your legs."

"Yes, yes, yes." Helian Qi agreed with a smile.

Qi Yue asked, "Qi, what kind of dishes are you going to buy? If you want to buy meat, twenty gold coins is not enough to go to the Yunyang City, but you can buy meat from the town next door. "

Looking through the memories, the neighboring town was five miles away. Helian Qi thought about it, "I'll go check out Yunyang City first."

"Alright." Qi Yue took out a purse from her bosom and gave it to him, saying, "We still have some Amaranth. There's no need to buy the vegetables."

"Yes." Helian Qi put the money away and pinched Helian Zhen's cheeks, "Why are you unhappy?"

"Big brother, I want to go as well."

Helian Qi smiled, "I won't bring you with me today. I'll bring you guys to play in two days."

"When will brother be back?" Helian Xue pulled at the corner of his shirt, unwilling to let him go.

Helian Qi carried her onto his lap and pinched the only bit of flesh on his face, "She'll be back soon."

"Then, when big brother comes back, can you teach us how to play that tune from this morning?" Helian Zhen also wanted to hug him, but there was nowhere else to go so she could only lean on him.

"Sure, when I come back, I'll make a little flute for you all to play. That one is easier to play than leaves."

"Brother, what is a flute?" They had only heard of bamboo flutes.

"We'll know when it's done."

Looking at Helian Qi, who had a good temper and was coaxing the twins, the other three looked at each other but didn't say anything.

Helian Shu's eyes dimmed a little. After a while, she said, "Mother, let's go to school."

"Alright, be careful on your way."

"You two be good and wait for me to come back." Mother, the dishes should first be soaked in the rice water. I'll wash them in the afternoon. You have to supervise your mother and won't let her wash them, okay? " Helian Qi also stood up after getting the twins' permission. Helian Shu looked at him in confusion. "Hehe, let's go together."

"Up to you."

As the three of them walked out of the door, Qi Yue felt a sense of relief as she gazed at their back, as though she had seen hope for the first time. After she cleaned up the dishes and put them in the wooden basin, she was about to wash them when Helian Zhen and Helian Xue each grabbed a hand.

"Mom, big brother said not to let you wash." Helian Zhen tilted her head and said seriously.

Qi Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she rubbed her little head, "How long has it been since the two of you listened to Qi?"

A blush appeared on Helian Xue's face as she whispered, "Then brother is right."

"And we promised big brother we'd watch over mother."

"Alright, alright, alright. Mother, listen to me." Qi Yue acted as if she couldn't do anything to them.

The sun was just right, and a few baskets of rice and bracts could be completely dried tomorrow. After kneading the rice and giving it to his boss, he also received one tael of silver. When she thought of this, Qi Yue perked up.

Even after walking through the city gates, there was still no one who charged him to enter. Helian Shu and her brother had a student token, so he did not charge them to enter as well.

However, Helian Qi felt very strange, "This wasn't the way I went two days ago, and also wasn't the door I entered."

Helian Shu glanced at him and said coolly, "Take a turn from the east gate and you'll find a market. All the restaurants are here as well. The western gate that you enter from is almost a gambling den."

Helian Qi felt guilty after hearing the displeasure in the others' words. "Then, are you guys going far from here?"

"That's not true. From here to the south gate is not far. Our academy is at the southernmost corner. Big Sis and I usually walk this way." Helian Chu explained.

"So it's like that …" Helian Qi nodded, "Quickly go to class."

"Alright." Helian Chu responded.

Helian Shu went close to him and threatened, "If you dare to cheat us, be careful of your legs. We would rather raise a cripple! "

Helian Qi was really scared by the killing intent in her eyes and remained calm on the surface. "I promise."

"Hmph." Helian Shu pulled Helian Chu along and ran off.

"Be careful!" Helian Qi shouted at them. Helian Chu's voice came from afar, "Got it!"

Taking a deep breath, Helian Qi said with a smile, "Restaurant?" Fine, he went to ask if he wanted a plate.

"Bring the plate? With your current appearance, you're not even worthy enough to wash the dishes.

The back door was slammed shut again, and the smile on Helian Qi's face gradually disappeared. This was already the tenth restaurant. After hearing the reason for his visit, they either mocked and ridiculed him or were straightforward. In short, they had one meaning — ugly rejection.

Helian Qi squatted on the corner and looked at his face in the waterway. Was he really that ugly? He didn't even want to wash the dishes. Where was the main character's halo? Where's the golden thigh?

Sighing, he stood up. What was this? Aren't there bookstores, flower shops, antique shops, and gold and silver jade shops? There was always someone who didn't judge by appearances. Make a fist!

After straightening up, Helian Qi strode down another street, which was said to have a large library. If he couldn't write, could he clear the bookshelves?

Yun Xi Book House.

"Duk Duk."

"Enter." An aged voice said.

The moment Helian Qi entered the door, the scent of books and ink wafted into his nose. All the displeasure from before had completely dissipated. The study was very big, but there were no people in it.

After a moment of hesitation, he walked up to the counter and softly asked, "I wonder if the boss would like someone to organize the books?"

"Whap." A book was placed on the counter.

An old man with a white beard stood up as he asked doubtfully, "Sir, why are you looking for a job with such great ability?"

"Mm …" "Hmm?"
