Chapter 157 The Jealous Husky

"Family heirloom, honest and reliable, take whichever one you like!"

Buying antiques on the black market is almost guaranteed to get you ripped off, but the things are so appealing, especially that hairpin covered in green rust. Yun Xia was immediately drawn to it and touched it repeatedly through the red silk. Jiang Chao squinted and picked out a small bronze stove.

"Boss, how much for both?"

"It's 50 yuan each, but I'll give you 100!"

The stall owner couldn't stop smiling; clearly, he could make a lot of money at this price.

"Fixed price, 60. We're in a hurry to get home. If you agree, I'll just take it."

"60? No way, that doesn't even cover the cost. You two should go look somewhere else!"

"70, that's the most I can do."

"make a deal!"

After saying this, he wrapped up the hairpin and the bronze incense burner separately and handed them to the girl.

Yunxia felt she had been ripped off by the quick agreement, but since she had already said it, there was no reason not to pay. She handed the stall owner 70 yuan and led Jiang Chao down the mountain.

During the journey, the boy took out 35 yuan and forced it on the girl.

"No need, consider it a gift from me!"

"No, take it, but don't make me angry."

The hazy moonlight obscured the boy's expression, making it impossible to discern whether he was genuinely angry or joking. Helpless, the boy accepted the gift and continued his journey down the mountain, eventually taking a taxi back to Huaimin Street.

Just like last time, the two of them crouched down, pressed against the corner of the wall, and tiptoed to push open the courtyard gate.

"Hey, you two went out to play without me!"

A mournful, eerie voice sounded from behind, startling the girl. She turned around, gave an awkward smile, and said, "Look, this is a gift I brought for you!"

The boy reached out and took the gift. The cross-eyed husky toy, with its intelligent little eyes, pouted and said, "Trying to bribe me with a gift won't work. Tell me, where did you two go in the middle of the night?"

Jiang Chao stared at the girl with a resentful look, making her feel guilty. He remained expressionless, looking up at the sky as if it were none of his business. That's right, even if the husky acted recklessly, it wouldn't dare to vent its anger on him.

"Okay, I'll tell you everything. Here, these are the things we bought tonight. Jiang Chao and I went..."

Feng Jingling, who was rummaging through her bag, frowned more and more as she listened. "A native of Jiangcheng, and you don't even know the black market exists? No way, you have to take me with you next time, or else... I'll cry for you two."

After saying that, he plopped down on the ground and refused to get up no matter how Yunxia tried to pull him up.

"Have you made enough noise? You've woken An'an and Mom, so here's your slipper!"

"Hiss, this threat is clearly more suitable for you." The husky rolled its eyes, jumped onto the boy's back, wrapped its limbs around him, and refused to get down no matter what.

Yun Xia raised an eyebrow, picked up her handbag from the ground, watched the show for a while, and then ran into the house, leaving Jiang Chao standing there with wide eyes.

"Get down!" the boy said through gritted teeth.

"No, unless you promise to take me with you next time you go to the black market!"

The boy, perched on someone's back, pouted and said arrogantly.

"Next time? It's the 15th of next month. Are you sure you want to go?"

Jiang Chao scoffed at someone's patience.

"Hey, who do you think you are? If you don't agree, I won't come down. Believe me, I'll yell a few times and wake up An'an and her godmother. If they find out you took Little Butterfly out in the middle of the night, hehe..."

It has to be said that Jiang Chao's Achilles' heel has been hit. The boy sighed and said unhappily, "Fine, I'll definitely take you with me next time we go to the black market. Get down, my legs hurt."

Upon hearing the words "leg pain," the boy was startled and quickly jumped down, asking worriedly, "Where does it hurt? Should we go to the hospital?"

Jiang Chao's eyes narrowed, and he grabbed her with his other hand. "Heh heh, you've gotten bold, haven't you? You dare to bully me!"

"Ouch, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts! Ah Chao, if you don't let go, I'm going to call for help."

"You've got guts!"

Although he said that, he let go of her hand, snorted coldly, and went into the house. The boy behind him pouted, rubbed his shoulder, and followed with small steps.

At this moment, Yunxia was outwitting Xiaohei. The cat, which had been woken up, could no longer fall back asleep. It was jumping around the house, running wildly, and making thumping sounds.

There was no other way but to resort to the snack-lure method. I took out two crispy little yellow croakers, lured it to jump down from the top of the wardrobe, hugged it around the waist, and stuffed it directly into the cat bed.

After finishing chewing the two small fish, ignoring someone's death stare, the cat stretched out its paws, wanting to continue playing. Suddenly, its neck was grabbed, and the cat was pinned down by the white cat. It was scratched and bitten until it surrendered and obediently lay down in its bed, not daring to come out and cause trouble again.

"Tsk tsk, one thing subdues another, let's see if you dare to make noise again."

After saying that, he tapped its head, turned around, washed up, and went to bed.

The next day, when the sun was high in the sky, Yunxia, ​​who was still in bed, finally got up. There was a message on the refrigerator magnet that the food was left in the pot, and the others went to the store to get busy.

Perfect timing! I had time to go to the flower market to buy materials. After a quick breakfast and washing the dishes, I rushed to the flower market.

He spent money on coconut bricks, humus, rotten wood, sand, and utensils without batting an eye. After delivering them to the warehouse, he closed the large iron gate and, taking advantage of the absence of anyone, stored them all in his personal space, also conjuring up several thousand kilograms of fruits along the way.

These fruits and vegetables are for Gu Xun to make juice. As for Bai Ye, the shoe factory was renovated a year ago, and the employee canteen was shut down. Instead, they ordered boxed meals. Fruits and vegetables were no longer needed. However, Yun Xia had already made a fortune and didn't care about that little bit of money.

Back home, I took a few pieces of linden wood, washed them clean, and put them in the sun to dry. After drying them, I placed them in the space's fertile field, dipped a makeup brush in it, and lightly flicked it with my finger to let the spore powder adhere to the linden wood. Then I left the rest to time.

Yunxia has experience in ginseng cultivation. They prepare nutrient soil, sow the seeds, water them with green water, and place them aside until they sprout, then transplant them into the field.

Seeds such as snow lotus, he shou wu, and huang jing were cultivated according to the medical books. After finishing everything, when the consciousness returned to the body, it was already dark outside.

"Oh no, I forgot to cook."

He slapped his forehead, rode his light blue bicycle, bought some braised dishes and cold noodles for dinner.

"Hey, braised chicken leg, my favorite."

That evening, Feng Jingling returned home and, looking at the dishes on the table, exclaimed in admiration.

"Yes, I bought it especially for you. Try it!"

Jiang Chao, a shrewd man, noticed the weariness in the girl's eyes. Recalling the seeds and medical books he had bought the night before, he knew without a doubt what she had been doing all day. He sat down, picked up a chicken leg, and put it in her small bowl.

"You must be exhausted after a long day. Eat more."

"Ah Chao, you're being unfair! I've been busy at the shop all day, and you haven't even given me a chicken leg! Humph!"

After a long day of work, even after drinking half a bottle of green water, he still felt exhausted. Upon hearing this, he put a big chicken leg on the boy's plate, along with a few large shrimp.

"No favoritism, here, big brother, have some shrimp. Grandma Wang's braised shrimp is the best in Huaimin Street!"

Grandma Wang has endured a life of hardship, but she possesses an inner strength. She lost her orphan in middle age, and her daughter-in-law remarried. She raised her grandson alone by relying on her braised food skills.
