Chapter 426 The Windy Courtyard (Please Vote for Me!!!)

Here, after Qin Hao resigned, he packed up some personal belongings and clothes and sent them home by express delivery. He took a laptop and some changes of clothes and embarked on a flight to Yunnan, thanks to the pair. The middle-aged couple who bought a house gave him a few extra days to vacate the house.

Now that I have arrived in Yunnan, I will definitely go to Kunming, Dali, and Lijiang. I have been playing for more than a month. Except for the occasional stock operation, I am basically in a state of retirement the rest of the time.

Of course, the original owner's parents were extremely angry about their son selling the house in Beijing. They called and scolded Qin Hao. Qin Hao was also shameless, talking too much. , the old couple also lost their temper. Qin Hao did not tell them where he was. He only said that he was traveling and could not even see him. The old couple had no choice but to compromise and let him go.

Winter is the peak tourist season in Yunnan. As more and more tourists come to Lijiang, Qin Hao simply rents a car and goes directly to Yunmiao Village.

I have to say that Erhai Lake is indeed very beautiful. The car is driving along the road beside Erhai Lake. Along the way, the sun shines on the water and casts golden light. Cangshan Mountain in the distance stretches across the west bank of Erhai Lake, as if you are in a fairyland.

"Brother, after crossing the stone bridge in front of you, keep walking forward and you will reach Yunmiao Village. My car can't drive in, so I can only take you here."

After the driver stopped the car, he helped Qin Hao take down his luggage.

"Okay, thank you." Qin Hao walked across the stone bridge with his luggage and walked a few hundred meters further. He passed an arch and the road in front of him began to narrow. There were those distinctive bricks on both sides of the road. The tile-roofed houses, doors and windows are also made of wood, and they are carved with various patterns and patterns, which are very charming.

Following the navigation, Qin Hao came to the door of a courtyard. When he saw the door sign of "Wind Courtyard" hanging on the door, he walked in directly with his luggage.

As a result, as soon as I entered, I almost bumped into a girl wearing a white shirt and jeans.

"Are you Qin Hao? Hello, I'm Xie Xiaochun, we talked on the phone before."

Qin Hao smiled and shook hands with the other party: "Hello."

"Well, how about I help you carry the gift? Your room is in the innermost room on the second floor." In order to ease the embarrassment, Xie Xiaochun took the initiative to help Qin Hao carry the box, and Qin Hao did not refuse.

The two came upstairs one after another. Xie Xiaochun pointed to the room next door and said: "This room was just vacated yesterday, but before I had time to clean it up, the room over there has been rented out to a little girl, but she I don’t come out very often.”

Just as Qin Hao was about to enter, he saw a middle-aged man with long hair who looked a bit like a Taoist priest coming out of the room downstairs and sitting on a futon in the yard to meditate with his eyes closed.

Xie Xiaochun introduced: "That person is also our tenant. He has lived here for more than half a year. His surname is Ma. We all call him Mr. Ma."

Qin Hao was still impressed by this talkative Mr. Ma, so he took the suitcase from Xie Xiaochun and walked into the room without disturbing him.

This is a room facing the street. The window opens to the street outside. The light is very transparent. The room is not large, but it is enough for one person.

"What do you think? If you need anything, you can tell me at any time." Xie Xiaochun said with a smile.

Qin Hao nodded and praised: "Yes, it's quite clean. There's no need to be so polite. I'm going to live here for three months, and I might have to renew my lease. It seems too unfamiliar to be so polite. Just call me." Qin Hao, okay, how about I call you by your name directly."

"Okay, let's do this for now. You can put things in order first, and I won't disturb you."

"Okay, see you later."

After Xie Xiaochun left, Qin Hao put the clothes in the suitcase into the closet, put his laptop on the desk, charged up his nearly dead mobile phone, and basically had fun.

I took a simple shower, put on a T-shirt and cropped pants, and went downstairs in slippers.

When passing by Mr. Ma, this man was motionless, without even raising his eyelids.

"It's tidied up so quickly? It's so neat."

Perhaps Qin Hao had been friendly enough just now, and Xie Xiaochun also became familiar with her. She was also a relatively outgoing person.

"Hey, I'm just a rough guy, not that particular. I'm hungry. I'm going to find something to eat." Qin Hao said with a smile.

"That's it. I just want to go to a small restaurant. Let me take you to a restaurant. There are relatively few restaurants here, but the taste is quite unique."

"Yeah, thank you very much."

"That's right. Since you live in our Fengfeng Courtyard, I should let you eat well, live well, and play well."

While talking, the two of them left the windy courtyard.

Mr. Ma, who had been silent in the yard, suddenly opened his left eyelid, then shook his head and continued to meditate with his eyes closed.

From the room on the second floor, a girl with messy hair walked out in a daze, stood on the balcony to block the dazzling sunlight with her hands, and muttered: "I just heard some noise, are there new tenants? I hope you have arrived." A quieter one.”

"Then Qin Hao, you eat slowly, I'll leave first."

Xie Xiaochun took Qin Hao to the entrance of Gesanghua Hotel and was about to leave.

Qin Hao greeted: "Why don't we have something together? I'll treat you."

"No, I have something to do at the tavern. You can eat first. After eating, you can walk around the village. The scenery here is particularly beautiful."

Qin Hao didn't force it, it would be bad if it caused others to misunderstand.

"Auntie, bring me a braised chicken and a spicy and sour fish."

"The young man is quite good at eating. These are the two best dishes in our family."

Soon the food was on the table. Just as Qin Hao was about to use his chopsticks, he found that the landlady did not leave, but kept staring at him.

When Qin Hao picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth, the lady boss couldn't wait to ask: "How does it taste?"

"Well, it's good. The fish is tender and smooth. After the spicy taste of the pepper is neutralized by the sourness of the sour papaya, the sourness and spiciness are just right. It doesn't take away the freshness of the fish. It's better than what I've eaten in restaurants in Kundali. Everything must be authentic." Qin Hao nodded and praised.

When the proprietress heard this, she immediately smiled from ear to ear: "The young man is a good eater at first glance. Our family's craftsmanship is well-known far and wide. Many tourists who have eaten it will come back."

After saying that, he got into the kitchen again, and not long after, he was served another "water-based poplar soup".

Qin Hao couldn't help but sigh at the simplicity of the people. Of course, when paying the bill, Qin Hao still paid for three dishes, but the landlady refused to accept it. Qin Hao could only threaten him by saying that if she didn't accept it, he would never come to eat again. Reluctantly accepted.

At the same time, Xie Xiaochun also arrived at the small restaurant, and while the business was not busy, he started gossiping with Nana, a resident of Youfeng Xiaoyuan and the front desk employee of the small restaurant.

"You know, our new guest in Youfeng Xiaoyuan is a very handsome guy."

Nana thought she was joking: "Still so handsome? Sister Xiaochun, when did you become such a nymphomaniac?"

"No, he is really handsome. He is 1.8 meters tall and has legs from the waist down. The key is his physique. I didn't notice it at first. Later he changed into a casual suit and came out. The muscles on his body were simply amazing. All right."

"The more you talk about it, the more exaggerated it becomes."

Seeing Nana's disbelief, Xie Xiaochun was depressed that he had not taken a photo of Qin Hao. He turned around and saw Qin Hao walking here after eating, and quickly pointed it out to Nana.

"Look, did I lie to you?"

Nana turned around subconsciously.

"without."

"Is he a handsome man?"

"yes."

"Okay, stop being crazy and get to work quickly."

"Tch, that makes you sound like you're not crazy."

The two started laughing.

Qin Hao turned around and unknowingly came to a pasture. In the center of the pasture was a wooden house. There was a fence around the wooden house. Several horses were eating the young grass tips with their heads down, shaking their heads from time to time. A snort, very leisurely.

After slowly approaching, Qin Hao saw a young man with a shaved head brushing a white horse. Perhaps seeing someone approaching, the white horse barked twice subconsciously.

"Are you here for a trip?" the young man asked with a smile.

Qin Hao nodded: "Are you the boss here? This horse is well-raised. It looks like it has just grown up."

The young man seemed a little surprised: "You know horses too?"

"You know a little bit about it. Dali horses are shorter than other horse breeds, but they have stronger endurance and are more agile." Qin Hao learned all this knowledge about horses from Zhifushi Shishi. There is no way he can do that. The Song Dynasty's Ma Shao needed a large number of cavalry to conquer the Liao Kingdom, so he gathered almost all the war horses that could be collected, including many Dali horses.

"Let me meet you. My name is Xie Zhiyao. I am the owner of the racecourse. Welcome to Yunmiao Village." Xie Zhiyao extended his hand to Qin Hao enthusiastically.

Qin Hao smiled and shook hands with the other party: "Qin Hao, I just came here today and live in Youfeng Xiaoyuan."

"That's such a coincidence, my home is right next door to Youfeng Courtyard." Xie Zhiyao's eyes widened.

At this time, the white horse also came over, and its huge head stood up in front of Qin Hao's eyes. Xie Zhiyao was originally afraid that it would scare Qin Hao, but Qin Hao stretched out his hand and scratched the white horse's face a few times, and the guy suddenly He looked very happy, and the horse's hooves were trampling all around, as if he was drunk.

"How did you do that? My little cutie never lets strangers touch her." Xie Zhiyao said with a look of disbelief.

"Maybe I'm more handsome." Qin Hao smiled.

In fact, animals are also bullies and shy of the strong. The white horse probably sensed Qin Hao's murderous intent and tried its best to please him.

"Why do you suddenly want to live here for so long?" Xie Zhiyao asked curiously.

Qin Hao stretched and said casually: "I'm tired, I don't want to roll anymore, so I just want to go out for a walk."

"It's good to come out and relax. I used to work in an investment bank in Beijing. I was like a robot all day long. I was under a lot of pressure. How could I be happy here." Xie Zhiyao spread his hands, with a confident smile on his face.

To be honest, Qin Hao actually admires Xie Zhiyao. They say that studying hard is to get rid of poverty, not to get rid of a poor hometown. But how many people can actually do it?

Everyone was trying to get into the big cities, but Xie Zhiyao resolutely resigned and returned to his hometown to start building rural areas.

The more Xie Zhiyao chatted with Qin Hao, the more he felt they were in love. In fact, he quit his job in the capital and returned to Yunmiao Village. Over the years, he not only invested all his savings, but also took out a lot of loans. He was also under a lot of pressure, but usually It’s not convenient to talk to grandma or other villagers.

After finally meeting someone who could talk to him, the conversation started immediately. It was almost dark as we chatted, so Xie Zhiyao took Qin Hao to his house for dinner.

Qin Hao didn't refuse. He happened to be going back to Youfeng Xiaoyuan, so he went there and picked up Xie Zhiyao's grandma on the way.

It was the first time for Grandma Xie to see her grandson chatting so happily with his peers. She was very happy and even gave Qin Hao a cloth tiger she made herself.

When they arrived at Grandma Xie's house, Xie Zhiyao asked Qin Hao to sit down, saying he wanted to show off his skills.

"This is my first visit and I didn't bring anything with me. How about we each cook a dish?"

"It seems that you are very confident in your craftsmanship. You are here to cause trouble."

While the two were chatting and laughing, they each started to pack the ingredients. Xie Zhiyao made a relatively homely dish of stir-fried pork with chili peppers. It could be seen that his cooking skills were quite good, and he must have made it frequently.

Qin Hao, on the other hand, learned and sold it now and made a dish of spicy and sour fish.

"I stole this from the Gesanghua Restaurant at noon. How about giving it a try."

Xie Zhiyao laughed and scolded: "I asked why it looks so familiar, but don't tell me, it looks like that, but I don't believe you will cook it after eating it only once."

Grandma Xie was impatient. She had already put a chopstick of fish into her mouth, and then her eyes lit up.

"Yeah, not bad, delicious."

Xie Zhiyao didn't believe it: "Is it so delicious?"

After eating it, he quickly gave a thumbs up: "I'm convinced, I'm willing to accept the defeat."

Xie Grandma said to Qin Hao: "I'm so happy today. Grandma still has some home-brewed plum wine. Let's drink some."

After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, Xie Zhiyao's ability to drink was no match for Qin Hao's. He got drunk not long after, Grandma Xie couldn't touch him by herself, so Qin Hao had to carry him into the house.

"Xiao Qin, I'm sorry for causing you trouble." Grandma Xie gratefully sent Qin Hao to the door.

Qin Hao smiled and said, "Thank you, grandma, you just said that we will treat you as your own family from now on. Why are you so polite to me now?"

"Okay, okay, I won't be polite to you from now on. It's getting late. You go back and rest first. Come to our house tomorrow. Grandma's plum wine is enough."

"Okay, I'll definitely come. Grandma, please go back first. It's only a few steps away. No need to send her off."

It wasn't until they turned the corner that Grandma Xie turned around and went home. Qin Hao also walked back to the windy courtyard under the moonlight. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw a girl with two pigtails sitting on the dining table in the small kitchen. Drinking wine and eating side dishes.

"Hello, I'm the new tenant. I live upstairs."

Qin Hao greeted him politely and was about to go upstairs to rest when he heard the girl reply.

"My name is Nana. I actually met you during the day. You happened to pass by our restaurant and Sister Xiaochun pointed me out."

"Nana, nice to meet you."

"Yeah, me too."
