Chapter 31 Cooperation Shepherd's Purse Wonton
Finally arriving at the market, the two found a wonton stall and had breakfast.
The small wontons are filled with shepherd's purse and minced meat. The skin is thin and the filling is fresh, and the bone soup base is the icing on the cake.
Both of them liked it very much.
The stalls at the market were similar to those of last month. Yu Zhile looked at them and bought some sauce that was consumed in large quantities at home.
"Sister, the wontons are delicious." Chen Zhao smacked his lips and savored them. Then he changed the subject, "But they are not as delicious as the eight-ribbon dumplings you made. If you set up a stall at the market, your business will definitely be very good."
He was speaking from his heart; the other breakfast stalls at the market looked pretty average.
"Doing business is not that simple." Yu Zhile responded simply.
Chen Zhao didn't continue the topic and followed Yu Zhile around with great interest.
"Nier, I'll give you a pot of cherry wine that our village brewed not long ago. It's delicious. Come buy some at the next market." An old lady came up and stuffed a wine pot into Yu Zhile's hand.
Yu Zhile smiled and said, "Sister, two kilograms of sorghum wine and yellow wine each."
The auntie beat her full.
Soon, Chen Zhao was surprised to find that everyone in the market seemed to know Yu Zhile and was particularly enthusiastic towards her.
The stall owner, who was arguing with the customer for a few points one second, smiled and gave her extra tips the next second.
Chen Zhao thought that the other people in the cowshed would soon finish repairing the canal and return to the village, so he followed Yu Zhile to buy things.
There were many people in the bullpen, and he was generous, buying everything at twice the price of Yu Zhile.
Soon, all the sideline groups in the villages at the market knew that the pretty girl who spent money generously at the last big market brought a handsome boy who paid without saying a word.
After leaving the market, Chen Zhao, who was labeled as a wealthy man, said happily: "It's really fun to go to the market. The things are cheap and plentiful, and the uncles and aunts are very welcoming."
The things were deposited with Master Yu as usual, and Yu Zhile and Chen Zhao went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.
On the way back to the meeting point, she met the girl selling flower seedlings again.
The girl was still grateful when she saw her, and this time she stuffed her with a bamboo basket of small river shrimps, saying, "I caught these myself, they are still fresh, and they will taste great if you fry them in oil."
Most people around her disliked the small size of river shrimps and were too lazy to even turn on the fire, let alone fry them with oil.
But her intuition told her that Yu Zhile was different from others, so she came to the market with the results of her hard work throughout the morning.
"Thank you. I've been craving this recently." Yu Zhile took out two dimes and handed it to her. "This is your reward for your hard work."
"No, I'll give it to you." The girl quickly waved her hand to refuse.
Yu Zhile forced it into her hand and said seriously, "I want to do business with you. From now on, every account between us must be settled clearly."
"Doing business?" The girl repeated these words in a low voice, and then looked at Chen Zhao nervously.
Yu Zhile explained: "This is my brother, don't worry, he won't leak any information."
Afterwards, she found a quiet place and explained to the girl what business she wanted to start.
This business is very simple. Girls provide her with flower seedlings and she pays her.
"Do you want a lot?" the girl asked softly, afraid that a louder voice would shatter her beautiful dream.
Yu Zhile nodded: "As many as you can get."
"I promised you." The girl seemed to be floating in the air, it was so unreal.
"Haiyu Village, Yu Zhile." Yu Zhile stretched out his right hand. "Happy cooperation."
The girl's gaze gradually focused on her eyes. She wiped the sweat off her palms nervously and shook her hand back, saying, "Huaxi Village, Du Nanzhi, happy cooperation."
It wasn't until he reached the assembly point that Chen Zhao finally came to his senses.
Isn’t this just speculation?
He glanced nervously at the villagers who were gossiping, and felt that there was something wrong with their eyes, and his body tensed up.
"Sister, if you want to help her, you don't have to... use that reason." Chen Zhao said cryptically.
Yu Zhile was calculating the price of the seedlings and didn't react for a moment: "Huh?"
"Flower seedlings." Chen Zhao reminded.
Yu Zhile suddenly realized and replied, "I have other uses."
"Can flower seedlings be eaten?" Chen Zhao began to think divergently.
Yu Zhile laughed out loud and shook his head.
Chen Zhao wanted to ask something, but as soon as Yu Erye opened his mouth, everyone rushed into the car and he didn't have a chance to open his mouth.
When they returned to the courtyard, Yu Yue was the only one at home, and Moore was lying at his feet.
"Brother Zhou took Xiaobao to the creek." Yu Yue paused, "The child asked to go there on his own initiative."
As the weather gets warmer, the children in the village like to go to the river to play in groups. This is Yu Chi's first time.
Chen Zhao went back to the cowshed to pack his things, and Yu Zhile went out to find Zhou Yuesheng and Yu Chi.
Walking upstream along the creek, children swimming in the water occupied the river channel which was only two meters wide, and their laughter could be heard everywhere.
Yu Zhile first saw Yu Chi and Pa Pa playing in the water, and then he saw Zhou Yuesheng.
Zhou Yuesheng leaned against the tree trunk, lowered his eyes, and looked a little annoyed.
Papa found Yu Zhile and barked twice.
Yu Chi swam from a distance to the shore where she was like a nimble little fish.
"Is it fun?" Yu Zhile brushed the hair off his forehead.
Yu Chi pointed at a pile of snails not far away, his eyes sparkling.
He prefers to use actions instead of words.
"That's great. I'll make fried conch for you when I get home." Yu Zhile gave him a thumbs up.
Yu Chi smiled shyly and dived into the water.
"Did you switch to some strange mode yourself?" Yu Zhile walked to the tree with a serious face, "I am your master, you should consult my opinion in advance."
Another weird thing to say, Zhou Yuesheng thought.
Under the sunlight, his facial features were clearly visible, and Yu Zhile inevitably recalled the fiery eyes in the blurry light.
"Why don't you speak?" Her head began to steam again.
Zhou Yuesheng stared at her rosy earlobes. Perhaps all the answers were in her.
His actions were faster than his brain, and Yu Zhile was pressed against the tree.
Zhou Yuesheng leaned over to look at her, very close to her, their breathing intertwined.
Yu Zhile's heart was beating like a drum, and her thoughts returned to the dim room, as if the hot breath was hitting her ear again.
Zhou Yuesheng's facial features were magnified again and again in her vision.
Suddenly, a strange bird song sounded melodiously.
Zhou Yuesheng suddenly straightened up and looked around vigilantly.
For a long time, only the rustling of wild grass could be heard.
Papa had rushed into the bushes at some point and slowly walked out holding a fainted rabbit in its mouth.
Three people and a dog walked side by side, Zhou Yuesheng was holding rabbit ears and Yu Zhile was holding a bag of snails.
Yu Chi, who was walking in the middle, looked left and right, and finally held the small conch.
Yu Zhile was dazzled by the sunlight, and when he looked at Zhou Yuesheng again, his emotions were completely silent, like a pool of stagnant water.
"Sister! Jiang Shangqing gave me a bunch of Amaranthus. Can we eat it for lunch?" Chen Zhao's voice broke the weird atmosphere.
Yu Zhile came back to his senses and responded with a smile: "Okay, for lunch, we'll have fragrant river shrimp and spicy fried rabbit, and fried snails for dinner."
The snails also need to be kept in salt water for a while, and then you can make a dish of fried snails with sour bamboo shoots as a porridge dish in the evening.
"Okay!" Chen Zhao's eyes were full of anticipation.
The sound of birds singing kept echoing in Zhou Yuesheng's ears as he handled the rabbit mechanically.
By the way, it was Haiying who led his first field training and taught him how to handle wild animals.
"What's wrong with my brother-in-law?" Chen Zhao was keenly aware of his emotional changes.
Yu Zhile shook his head and prepared to ask Xiaoyun later.
Seeing this, Chen Zhao quietly picked vegetables.
Yu Yue stared at Zhou Yuesheng, thoughtfully.
After Yu Zhile finished cleaning the river shrimps, he looked up and saw a figure flashing outside the yard.
The person who came was Zhang Wenxin. He acted awkwardly and ran away again.
