If today really is Li Xuelan's birthday, it wouldn't be unreasonable for Bailu to give him two spare ribs to take back.
After all, although Li Xuelan often scolded and beat the original owner of the body and favored boys over girls, she truly gave birth to the original owner of the body and raised the original owner of the body, so she had the grace of raising the original owner of the body.
In the bustling city below, with neighbors occasionally passing by, Bai Lu didn't want to bear the reputation of being disloyal and unfilial.
However, she learned from the original owner's memories that today was not Li Xuelan's birthday at all; it was yesterday.
Every year on Li Xuelan's birthday, a chicken would be killed, and both chicken legs and chicken wings would be given to Bai Chaojie. Once, the original owner of this body accidentally picked up a chicken wing and Li Xuelan knocked his chopsticks away. Therefore, the original owner's memory of this incident was particularly vivid.
Bai Lu looked at the pig boss and said with utmost sincerity, "I don't know him."
It's obvious they've been harassed by a scoundrel!
Seeing the little girl's pitiful expression, and the little boy hiding behind her with puffed-out cheeks, the pig boss was furious. He slammed his butcher knife into the chopping board with a loud "bang!"
"No money, you're not leaving the market today!"
"A fourteen or fifteen-year-old brat dares to act like a scoundrel and rob people in broad daylight. Whose kid are you? You want to buy ribs, right? Take me to your house to collect your money!"
The pig boss is a butcher wielding a cleaver; when he gets angry, his face becomes full of menacing features, revealing his ferocious nature.
That's what you call a ferocious demon sweeping across the entire street.
Bai Chaojie was always arrogant and domineering at home, but he had never seen anything like this before, and he was so scared that he lost his ribs on the spot.
I want to run away, but I'm afraid of being chased by the pig boss.
I quickly picked up the ribs from the ground, carefully wiped them clean with my sleeve, and shakily placed them back on the cutting board.
He looked up at Bailu and said harshly, "If you've got the guts, don't come home!"
After saying that, he ran away without looking back.
It was moving so fast it felt like a ghost was chasing it.
The pig boss rinsed the ribs with water, cut two more ribs for Bailu, weighed them, chopped them into small pieces, and packed them into a newly arrived expensive plastic bag.
Put it in the basket for her.
Finally, he asked her if she lived far away and if she wanted him to take her home, saying that the scoundrel from earlier might be following her.
Bai Lu thanked him repeatedly, politely declining the pig boss's offer on the grounds that she lived not far away.
After strolling around the farmers' market...
Xiao Wei followed behind, carrying large and small bags, his eyes rolling back in exhaustion. Seeing that Bai Lu still wanted to shop, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Have you finished shopping yet?"
A resentful voice sounded behind her, and Bai Lu realized that she wasn't the one who went out to buy groceries today.
There was also a little follower who immediately stopped and turned around to help share the burden: "Just buy another tilapia to steam. Is it heavy? Come and get me some."
When we bought it, everyone said she had taken it, but she insisted on carrying it all herself, as stubborn as a little donkey.
The little donkey refused with a stern face: "You don't need to take it. My brother asked me to help."
My elder brother's instructions are like an imperial edict!
Bai Lu really wanted to laugh but couldn't, lest she hurt the little man's pride.
I had to walk quickly to the fishmonger to buy fish, and then buy a large-hole strainer from the tableware shop I passed by, so that I could separate the sand and chestnuts when roasting them.
But when they passed the convenience store, they stopped.
Xiao Wei was covered in things from head to toe, and Bai Lu was walking fast. When she suddenly stopped, he almost bumped into her.
After barely stopping, she gritted her teeth and spat out six words: "What else do you want to buy?"
"Want some bubble gum?"
Bai Lu picked up a small rectangular piece of colorful bubble gum and waved it in front of Xiao Wei: "It's sweet, soft, and chewy, very delicious! There are also doll-shaped paper pieces inside, you can tear them open and stick them on your arm, they're very pretty and cute!"
Her tone was like she was coaxing a three-year-old.
Xiao Wei's resentment disappeared inexplicably.
Of course he knew about bubble gum; there was a small shop right outside the school gate where his classmates often went to buy things.
My deskmate also bought bubble gum, and he would sneak some during class, blowing bubbles at me while chewing, saying it was delicious.
Bubble gum must be expensive, so he needs to save his money to buy notebooks and pens; he can't waste it.
Bai Lu noticed that the little guy didn't speak, but he glanced at the bubble gum twice before leaving, so he probably liked it.
I gave the shopkeeper 50 cents, grabbed a few pieces of bubble gum and stuffed them into his pocket, and also took a few packets of spicy strips.
I strolled leisurely home.
"Hey Wei, let me tell you a secret, this spicy snack is really delicious! It's super fragrant and not spicy at all. I guarantee you won't be able to stop eating it once you take a bite..."
Xiao Wei followed silently behind Bai Lu, his hands and feet busy, staring down at the bulging pockets of her clothes.
A faint smile appeared on her cool little face.
Hearing the pleasant sounds and descriptions of delicious flavors, all my energy returned.
Today's lunch was very plentiful.
Bai Lu prepared a large table of delicious dishes, and Xiao Cheng and Xiao Wei were very accommodating, eating two large bowls of rice each.
As always, Xiao Cheng would serve her food, but when he occasionally glanced at her, his gaze was unfathomable, with a complex and indescribable quality.
Bai Lu didn't think much of it, figuring that her increased appetite recently might have shocked the big shot.
There was no way around it; the food was just too delicious and fragrant.
Moreover, the rice balls also need to be stored, otherwise one day he might suddenly have a whim and want to touch the "child" but won't be able to.
After the meal, Xiao Wei volunteered to wash the dishes.
Bai Lu took a small stool and sat in the yard picking chestnuts. She dug out all the chestnuts from the sand pile, spread them out on the clean ground, and let them dry in the sun.
Xiao Wei's storage methods are proper, so there aren't many bad ones; you just need to pick out the ones with inconsistent quality.
When roasted chestnuts first enter the market, the first impression is very important. Excellent appearance, taste, and plumpness of the kernels are all crucial for word-of-mouth marketing.
Even if there are competitors in the future, it won't be so easy for them to damage your reputation; this is the first effect of psychology.
The psychological research conducted by Bailu in her previous life is not only effective for human psychology, but also applicable to the market.
There was a two-hour lunch break during the construction of the house. Xiao Cheng didn't sleep. He sat on a bench in the corridor, casually playing with an unlit cigarette between his long, slender fingers.
Watching the girls in the courtyard pick and choose.
"Could you help me take the maltose on the table to the kitchen and pour it into the pot?" she asked him.
When he's not angry, he's always very polite.
rusty……
Xiao Cheng lowered his gaze, tucked the cigarette between his ring fingers behind his ear, and got up to go to the main house to get some candy.
There was a small bucket of maltose on the octagonal table, weighing about seven or eight pounds. It wasn't that she couldn't lift it, but there were still a few chestnuts left in the winnowing basket that she hadn't finished sorting.
Knowing that he wasn't taking a nap and was watching her, she asked him for help, since she usually does everything herself.
Xiao Cheng pursed his lips slightly, a subtle, unnoticed curve appearing as if he were raising them slightly.
He carried the maltose to the stove and didn't go out again. He sat down directly in front of the stove and started a fire.
Bai Lu came in after selecting the chestnuts.
