Once you become a boy, marry a good man, and become rich together

Chapter 238 Beautiful Flowers

They figured it out yesterday that chefs don't have to be master-level like those in restaurants, so they went to the town to take a look today.

Yesterday afternoon I told Ye Bei that when I go to the county today I will go to the dental shop there to see if there is anyone who can cook well, and if so I will buy some from him.

They went to the compound first and happened to meet Xu Xia who was coming back with something in his hand.

"You guys are here! The guards are going to have a competition soon. Do you want to go and take a look?"

Lin Jingsheng looked at Jiang Ci, seeking his advice.

"Okay, it's a good opportunity to see what they have achieved in their training." I believe he will not be disappointed.

When they arrived at the competition arena in the backyard, those people were warming up. Jiang Ci and Lin Jingsheng stood under a tree nearby, watching Xu Xia organize the team and explain the rules of the game.

The competition is divided into two groups and there are 16 people in total. They are numbered from the beginning, just like school numbers.

In order to make the competition fair, Xu Xia picked two numbers and immediately found two people who opened those two numbers to be his opponents in the first game.

Now the first game begins with No. 1 versus No. 3, and the others step aside to watch.

Maybe it was because Lin Jingsheng and Jiang Ci were here today, they seemed a little reserved standing nearby.

It has been nearly a year since they started training martial arts. Jiang Ci has no idea what they can learn in one year, but compared to last year when she saw them training, their mental outlook seems to have completely changed.

These men have grown taller and stronger, and look more stable. They are wearing the same uniform black tights, and soon the fists of the two men fighting on the sand cannot be seen clearly.

Jiang Ci watched with great enthusiasm, and said to Lin Jingsheng beside him, "They are so amazing."

"Well, that's good."

Gradually, this group of people became fascinated by the game and were no longer as reserved as at the beginning. They shouted to cheer for the two of them.

The two of them fought for a quarter of an hour, and it ended with one of them pinning the other to the ground and putting his arm against his throat so that he could not get up.

After it was over, the others swarmed around them, gave the two of them a lot of praise, and then surrounded them asking all sorts of questions, including whether they were injured.

During this year they trained together, sweated together, endured hardships together and made progress together, and have long become the closest of brothers.

For the second group of two people who came on stage, Jiang Ci could only match their names and faces, but had no idea what kind of kung fu moves they were good at.

Looking at the height difference between the two of them, which was almost a head, Jiang Ci felt a little embarrassed. How could she win?

Lin Jingsheng seemed to see the doubt in Jiang Ci's heart. "Relatively speaking, Liu Zhi is not very tall and his frame is thin, but he is very fast. Among this group of people, his speed is far superior. It is not certain who will win in the end."

Liu Zhiyi was not short, estimated to be close to 1 meters tall. The main reason was that his opponent Zhao Shun was too tall, about 8 meters tall, and had a lot of flesh on his body. When the two of them stood together, Liu Zhiyi looked very thin.

Jiang Ci also saw from their fight that both of them were the kind of players who were good at one subject but not the other.

Liu Zhiyi’s main advantage was his speed. Jiang Ci couldn’t understand his moves and didn’t know whether they were standard or not. However, compared to his opponent and the two people in the previous round, he was not strong enough.

Zhao Shun was tall and muscular, and he looked very strong. In fact, he did not disappoint. He was extremely strong. When he punched Liu Zhiyi on the shoulder, Jiang Ci felt that if Liu Zhiyi had not dodged quickly, he could have broken the bones in his shoulder.

Seeing that the two of them had finished their competition, Jiang Ci slowed down his numb feet.

Jiang Ci was very satisfied with what she saw and also remembered the important business for today.

"Shall we go? Let's go find some people who can cook."

"Let's go."

Neither of them attracted anyone else's attention, and it was only a short while after they left that people noticed that the two owners who had been standing under the tree watching the game had left.

When I walked outside, I happened to meet people who were learning to read in the classroom just finishing their get out of class.

As soon as Li Xiaojin came out, he saw two people who were particularly conspicuous in the yard.

The main people in charge of this compound now are Li Xiaojin and Xu Xia, and because there are many new people who cannot even read a single word, they are divided into two classes.

In this case, if Li Xiaojin was asked to teach two classes, it would be too tiring for him to take care of other things, so Lin Jingsheng picked out a boy who looked like a good student and asked him to be a teacher to teach the new students how to read and write.

Under their management, there is also a girl in charge of shopping and cooking, and a captain of the guard team.

Being responsible for shopping and cooking is a lucrative job, so the people who go shopping with him have to take turns.

Fortunately, Jiang Ci and Lin Jingsheng were lucky, as the people they received into this compound were all upright and good-looking people.

Jiang Ci thought that the compound was not so peaceful, but any incidents or conflicts that occurred were resolved by Xu Xia and Li Xiaojin, or at worst by Lin Jingsheng, so he didn't have to worry about anything.

But in reality it is peaceful.

Lin Jingsheng also felt it was unbelievable at first, but later when he saw how smoothly their business was going, he felt that he must have benefited from Jiang Ci's help, which was why he was so successful.

"How many people here can cook and make delicious food?"

Li Xiaojin was puzzled by this question. "I really don't know."

"Then let's gather them together and ask them later."

They should be given some time to exercise right after class.

A little girl who looked less than ten years old came to Jiang Ci.

"Boss, do you want to go see the beautiful new flowers we planted?"

"Beautiful flowers? Then take me over to see them."

Jiang Ci followed Xie Momo's footsteps through a row of houses and arrived at an open space at the back.

Half of the land here is planted with vegetables, with a small path separating the middle. The other side is planted with some beautiful flowers, and there are two trees with few leaves planted against the wall.

These flowers are very beautiful, but their condition is not very good. Some of the petals have fallen off, and some of the leaves are broken.

"This is the Dongjia. These are very, very beautiful flowers, much prettier than the small flowers on the roadside."

Jiang Ci thought of a key question, "Where did these flowers come from?"

When asked this, the little girl's eyes lit up and she answered loudly, "I picked it up!"

"Picked it up?"

"Yes, last month, Sister Fanger took me to the town to buy candied haws. When we were coming back, we happened to see someone throwing a lot of flowers on the roadside. We saw that there were still a lot of good flowers, so we came back and called some people over. We picked and chose, and brought back a lot of beautiful flowers that looked like they could still be planted."

At this point he sighed, "Originally we brought in a lot more than this, but in the end they all died because they couldn't grow well."

According to her, these flowers were picked from flowers that others didn't want, and were the result of a month of careful care.

Jiang Ci walked closer to see what flowers there were and whether there were any he could name.

Looking at it this way, he actually recognized one of them. It had pink multi-layered petals on the edge and a yellow pistil in the middle. It was a peony, but it was much smaller than the ones he had seen before.

Jiang Ci bent down to look at the most beautiful peony flower, and Jiang Momo also squatted down and looked at the flower from a distance.

"This flower is the most beautiful, it blooms very big and has many petals, but it is planted too far outside, so I have to be careful every time I walk by to avoid touching it."

“This is a peony.”

"Peony, what a nice name."
