Chapter 83 Toona sinensis fish

Xiao Yan smiled and nodded, "Drive away all those dogs."

"That's fine. Okay, you stay and talk to grandpa, I'll go buy groceries. Daya, let's go!"

Clear the house so that grandparents and grandchildren can talk about their true feelings, so that there won’t be any inconvenience caused by the presence of outsiders.

Lu Qiniang looked at Teng Wenfu again and said, "Uncle Teng, do you want to go out for a walk? I'll take you to the pier."

Teng Wenfu looked at Master Li.

Master Li said, "Go ahead. If you see anything new, tell me later. This way I won't have to stay indoors all day and be taken for a fool."

Only then did Teng Wenfu stand up.

Lu Qiniang picked up the basket and went out with Daya and Teng Wenfu.

Before leaving, she worriedly warned Xiao Yan: "As an elder, I care about you. I scold you a few times, and I hit you a few times. This is a blessing. Don't make a fuss."

Xiao Yan nodded, "Don't buy too many vegetables, and don't use too much oil..."

"How can that be? This is Grandpa's first visit, and we're not so poor that we can't make ends meet. Okay, just let me make the arrangements!"

Mr. Li said that the family is not well off.

Although you are dressed nicely, this might be all you need to go out with.

Then we have to treat you with delicious fish and meat!

Lu Qiniang went out in a hurry.

The smile in Mr. Li's eyes also disappeared.

Xiao Yan lifted his robe and slowly knelt down——

Lu Qiniang took Daya and Teng Wenfu to buy a fish, a goose, a roast chicken, a piece of pork, and a lot of fresh vegetables...

She enthusiastically introduced Teng Wenfu to what she saw and heard at the dock and told him about her business.

Teng Wenfu listened carefully, nodded from time to time, and calmly asked Lu Qiniang what happened after Xiao Yan came to her house.

Lu Qiniang said cheerfully, "Just ask whatever you want to ask. I know you care about him too!"

Teng Wenfu suddenly felt that he was being too petty.

Lu Qinniang was as warm as the sun in the sky, and there was no darkness wherever she shone.

"By the way, I just asked you about Mr. Li's taste, but I haven't asked you what you like to eat yet."

Teng Wenfu: "Even this old slave can do it."

"How can that be? Since you're here, you're a guest. We'll cook whatever dishes we want, so why not make something you like? You tell me, we should pick out two or three things you like, otherwise, wouldn't that be too neglectful?"

"Old slave, I am just a servant in the house."

"Who isn't? I used to be a slave and was even chased back!" Lu Qiniang said cheerfully, "Slaves also have to eat and can't drink dew."

Teng Wenfu was used to intrigue and had stepped on countless corpses along the way to his position. It had been a long time since he had felt such a warm current flowing through his heart.

He even had some conspiracy theories, wondering if Lu Qiniang had already known their identities.

But Lu Qiniang's eyes were so pure that he felt ashamed of his own darkness.

Daya remained silent and just observed silently.

Teng Wenfu thought that it was possible that this little girl had guessed something.

But Lu Qinniang, really didn’t.

"I don't have any particular favorites, but I remember before entering... the Li family, being able to eat a bite of toon fish at this time of year was more enjoyable than Chinese New Year."

"Toona sinensis fish! That's easy. We're not in the same situation as before when we couldn't afford oil. Come on, Daya, let's go pick some toona sinensis. They're all old now, so we need to pick the tender shoots..."

The so-called toon fish is made by wrapping toon with flour and eggs and frying it.

It consumes a lot of oil but tastes good.

On the way back, Mr. Li and Xiao Yan, one sitting and the other standing, looked at each other in silence.

Lu Qi Niang: “…”

Did the talks break down?

She quickly livened up the atmosphere and said to Mr. Li, "I just bought some elm seeds from the mountains. They're not like the ones near our house, which are all old. Try them, they're sweet. I'll make some elm seed rice with them later."

She muttered, "I also bought some snails. He said they had spit out the mud and sand after two days. I'll stir-fry them later. If there's any mud and sand, I'll have to go back and ask him to refund me. I know him, and I can't cheat on him."

"We bought some fish and a goose. Let's stew them in an iron pot and put some pancakes on top. They'll be delicious!"

"What you said made me hungry." Master Li couldn't help laughing when he saw Lu Qiniang.

"Then we'll eat soon. It'll be quick. Daya, go boil some water while I kill the goose." Lu Qiniang carried the goose, looking very efficient. "Xiao Yan, take care of the fish."

Master Li looked at Lu Qiniang, who was squatting in the corner. He raised his knife and chopped off the goose's head to drain the blood, then threw the goose into hot water to remove its feathers.

She didn't mind the heat, and smiled as she shed her feathers, "By the New Year, our chickens and ducks will have grown up, so we won't have to go out and buy them."

"By the way, Master Li, are you from the capital?"

"I guess so."

Lu Qiniang thought to herself, if it is, it is, and if it is not, it is not. What does it matter if it is?

"So, will you settle down in the capital or somewhere else? If you're from somewhere else, stay at home."

"No, I've settled down in the capital."

"Oh, that's very close. Then we'll come visit you during the holidays."

"……good."

"By the way, Xiao Yan, didn't you take grandpa to see our ducks?"

Xiao Yan: “…No.”

Lu Qiniang smiled and said to Master Li, "We have nothing at home, and we don't know how to entertain you... There's a flock of ducks in the pigpen, and they say they're tribute to the emperor. There are only two in the palace! Although they're probably fake, you can take a look at them. I don't see how they're any different from ordinary ducks..."

She was just mumbling for no reason, but she didn't expect Master Li to hear her and say, "Really? Then I'd like to see it."

"Let's go and have a look." Seeing that he was interested, Lu Qiniang was very happy. "Sanyah, take Master Li to have a look."

"Okay!" San Ya came over and grabbed Master Li's sleeve. "Come on, I'll show you around. We used to raise pigs, but they were poisoned to death by a bad woman! But now we have ducks. Don't tell that bad woman..."

Master Li: “…”

He turned around to look at Xiao Yan and Lu Qiniang, only to find that one of them was scraping fish scales, and the other was plucking goose feathers. They seemed to be still talking, and no one stopped San Ya from talking.

After a while, Mr. Li came back.

She didn't know if it was Lu Qinniang's illusion, but she felt that Mr. Li seemed a little unhappy when he saw the duck?

"Xiao Yan, why do you look angry at Duck? Did San Ya say something she shouldn't have said?"

"Don't blame Sanya," Xiao Yan put two pieces of firewood under the stove, "maybe he saw the duck and was moved by the scene."

"What's wrong with his situation? Why is he angry?"

Xiao Yan: "...someone is always fooling him."

"When you get old, don't you get fooled? Hey, I think it's not easy for him."

"Yeah." Xiao Yan said lightly.

At this time, Daya, who was making pancakes nearby, suddenly spoke up -
