Chapter 141: Betting on a Bird!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xia Tangxin knew that Qin Xi was going to Luoyang City and went back with her happily.
After receiving the notice, Xia Zhenguo gave himself half a day off to welcome them at home.
At first, Qin Xi did not want to trouble the Xia family, but she could not resist Xia Tangxin’s enthusiasm. Helpless, she stayed in the Xia family.
Fortunately, the Xia family lived in a big two-story villa. Qin Xi lived in the guest room close to Xia Tangxin, mainly because it was very s.p.a.cious and had an open-air balcony.
For lunch, Xia Zhenguo cooked four dishes and a soup personally. They were all made from Qin Xi’s vegetables. This time, Qin Xi brought a lot of vegetables with her. She came with two cars and one was specially used to carry vegetables.
Looking at the dishes, Qin Xi praised sincerely, “Uncle Xia, your culinary skills are really good. I’m hungry just looking at it!”
Knowing that she was p.r.o.ne to car sickness, Qin Xi did not eat when she set out. Now that she saw the fragrant vegetables, her stomach instantly began to rumble.
Xia Tangxin scooped her a bowl of rice and said mischievously, “If you’re hungry, eat more. My father is a good cook. It’s all thanks to him that I can grow up so pretty.”
Xia Zhenguo rubbed her head and laughed. “You really got a glib tongue, don’t you?”
“That’s right!” Xia Tangxin raised her chin proudly.
“Miss Qin, eat more if you like it. Make yourself at home.”
“I will. Thanks, Uncle Xia.”
During lunch, Xia Zhenguo suddenly asked, “I heard from Tangxin that you’re here for the application of that hill? Do you need help?”
“I do need your help with something.”
Qin Xi nodded. “Uncle, can you give me the basic information of the director and deputy director of the Land Administration?”
“That’s it?” Xia Zhenguo was slightly surprised.
He thought that Qin Xi would use this opportunity to ask him to help introduce her to the higher-ups. He did not expect her to only ask for something so simple.
Qin Xi nodded with a smile. “Uncle Xia, this is enough. If I need anything else, I’ll tell you.”
“Alright, let me know if you have any difficulties. Also, I’ll give you a driver. After all, you are new here.”
“Thank you, Uncle Xia.”
Xia Zhenguo was very efficient. Just as they finished eating, the doc.u.ments were sent over by his a.s.sistant.
Qin Xi looked at the information on it and her eyes lit up. She had a plan as to what to do.
The night pa.s.sed uneventfully.
The next morning, Qin Xi asked the driver to send her to the market on XX Road. Looking at the crowded scene, she took out the simple signboard she had just written. On it were two words: face-reading!
She bought two stools from a shop and sat on one of them while placing the other opposite her. Then, she started munching on sunflower seeds while waiting for business to arrive.
“Aiyo, of all the trades you can choose, you decided to become a charlatan.”
“At a glance, you can tell she’s just a swindler. Sigh, let’s go!”
Some people pa.s.sed by and pointed an accusing finger at Qin Xi.
Qin Xi smiled faintly and said to everyone, “Although I’m young, my abilities are legit.”
“Legit ability? Kid, how old are you this year? Does your family know that you are out here swindling people?”
Seeing that she didn’t show signs of guilt, an old man who was walking around with a bird cage with a bird in it wanted to lecture her.
Qin Xi touched her chin and looked at the old man with sparkling eyes. “Grandpa, you don’t believe me, right? Do you want to make a bet?”
The old man was interested and sat down on the stool opposite Qin Xi. “What do you want to bet?”
“How about let’s bet on your bird?”
