Chapter 152: No business is without fraud
Xiao Lanyi's horse is very fast. In less than an hour, she bought a lot of food from the city.
The Jiang family was busy today. Seeing that Xiao Lanyi bought a lot of food, Feng and Li Qiqiao simply took a break and had a bite of the ready-made food for dinner.
On the table, there were two beggar chickens, several plates of salted fat intestines, salted pig's trotters and pig's head meat, and the butterfly cakes that Xiao Nuobao loved the most.
Each piece of butterfly cake was bigger than Nuobao's face, and it was covered with white sugar grains. After a bite, Xiao Nuobao's mouth was full of crumbs, and he smiled happily.
Everyone was tired after a day of hard work, and now they could change their taste, so they naturally ate happily.
"The beggar chickens at Juyunlou are selling well. When I went there, there were only the last two left." Xiao Lanyi grumbled, fearing that she had bought too little.
Mrs. Feng tore off the chicken legs and wings, put a few in the bowl of the lady, and gave the rest to Xiao Lanyi.
"Two are enough. If you buy more, there must be some left tomorrow. The weather is a bit hot now, and meat and vegetables will easily lose their smell if left overnight." Mrs. Feng smiled.
Xiao Lanyi thought about it and turned to look at the "little glutton" beside her, with a smile in her eyes, and gave all the chicken legs in the bowl to Nuobao.
Although little Nuobao is greedy, he is not willing to eat alone.
She had only gnawed two chicken wings, and her belly was already half full. Now her little hands were greasy, and she put the remaining chicken legs into her mother's and fifth brother's bowls.
Feng was reluctant to eat it, and gave some to the pregnant Sun Chunxue.
Little Fengmiao was drooling, but she only took the chicken leg bones left by her sister, sucked the shredded meat on them, and gave her own share back to her mother.
So the two chicken legs were picked all over the table, and in the end, they were pushed back and forth, and no one could eat, which made everyone embarrassed.
"It's just a bite of food, don't give in. It's not like the time when our family conditions were bad." Feng smiled helplessly, took it and tore off the meat, and put some in everyone's bowl.
Jiang Fengnian couldn't help but think of the poor times in the past, and then looked at the meat dishes on the table now. He ate with big mouthfuls and felt that life was really good.
Little Nuobao looked at everyone with a smile, and his little mouth was never idle, and Xiao Lanyi kept feeding him meat.
After the meal, Jiang Fengnian and Jiang Fenghu went to the field to wash the dishes. Feng washed some mountain cherries and brought them to the kang. She ate and laughed with her daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law and Xiao Lanyi.
During the day, Nuobao was scared and cried by a field mouse, but Feng and the others didn't know. When Xiao Lanyi said this, they couldn't help laughing at Nuobao's timidity.
Little Nuobao blushed and waved his fist in protest.
"It's not that I'm timid, it's that the rat is too big, bigger than my stomach after eating." Little Nuobao squeezed his eyebrows and made exaggerated gestures.
However, not only did he not get "sympathy", but he also attracted a burst of laughter.
"How can there be such a big field mouse? You are small, so you think everything is big." Jiang Fenghu heard the voice and laughed when he entered the house.
Little Nuobao crossed his fat waist and was very unconvinced: "Really? No wonder I think Erguoguo's face is also big!"
Li Qiqiao smiled and squeezed his eyes together, and teased mercilessly: "Your second brother's face is really big, it's not our Nuobao's fault that he is small!"
Everyone ate the cherries and made fun of Jiang Fenghu for a while, and the laughter in the house never stopped.
While there was still some time, Jiang Fengnian remembered his business and reported the bill for buying mud and tiles to Feng.
After the mother and daughter finished their work, they couldn't help but talk about when the third son Fengze would be able to return home.
As summer was about to come, the Jiang family postponed their bedtime and talked until after midnight before they went back to their rooms to lie down.
Five or six days passed in a blink of an eye. After a light rain, the dandelions on the mountain of Dalui Village grew more and more densely like spring bamboo shoots.
The women took the opportunity of a rest at noon and went up the mountain with baskets and baskets to dig.
At this time of year, digging dandelions together has become a must-do in the village.
Feng and Li Qiqiao naturally couldn't just stand by and watch. They each carried a small basket and went up the mountain.
Xiao Nuobao also wanted to go with her. Her two little hands were like octopuses, tightly hooked around Feng's neck, and she twisted her body coquettishly.
Feng couldn't bear the girl's begging, and was afraid that she would be busy digging vegetables and not be able to watch her, and let her be bitten by insects and snakes again, so she had to pinch Nuobao's nose to refuse her.
"There are many snakes in the mountains at this time of year, which are much scarier than field mice. They can bite several holes in one bite, and it will be ugly to have scars on your body." Feng's tone was exaggerated and deliberately frightening.
When the field mouse was mentioned, Xiao Nuobao couldn't help shivering, so he had to pout and hum, and backed off.
Li Qiqiao hurriedly coaxed, "Nuobao is at home, waiting for mother and second sister-in-law to bring back mother's waist. Mother's waist is delicious when dipped in egg sauce. It tastes good when mixed with meat and pig fat and made into dumplings."
Little Nuobao smacked his lips, and the gluttonous insects were hooked out. He nodded his head and watched his mother and the others go out.
There were many people gathered on the mountain of Daliu Village at this time. It was rare to see such a lively scene.
When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Feng family took the shortcut to go up, they saw four or five women busy at the cat's waist.
In spring, there are not many vegetables for farmers to eat, so everyone inevitably wants to dig more and take them back. After boiling them in water and dipping them in soy sauce, they can be regarded as a dish that can be served on the table.
Unlike other villagers, they want to use mother's waist as the main dish.
Feng just wanted to have a few dishes to taste, so she didn't pick too many.
After working for less than an hour, Feng and Li Qiqiao were about to go home when they saw Mrs. Liu and her family coming up.
Aunt Zhou, who lived next door to Mrs. Liu, smiled when she saw Feng: "Thank you so much, Nuobao Niang. Two days ago, my boy went to your field to look at radishes and earn money. He bought four plasters for me and his father. It happened that both of us have back problems."
Feng smiled politely: "What is there to thank? The children work for my family and help us a lot."
Although she said so, Aunt Zhou was still very grateful.
After all, most families in Daliu Village were still short of money. Even a dozen copper coins were enough for them to buy three or five eggs or two feet of new cloth, which was a supplement for the family.
"This is the first time that my boy has earned money by himself. He earned sixteen copper coins in two days and went home so happy that he jumped for joy." Aunt Zhou wanted to thank her again.
Feng was surprised: "Sixteen coins in two days?"
She had clearly given Jiang Fengmiao ten coins a day, but this boy was so cunning that he actually deducted two coins from her!
After getting Aunt Zhou's affirmative nod, Feng returned home, dragged Feng Miao over, and gave him a beating on the butt.
Although Feng Miao was beaten, at least he earned more money. After the beating, he pulled up his pants and walked around his mother with a smile.
The whole family was amused by Feng Miao, and they could only sigh that at such a young age, he would become a "profiteer".
At this time, there was a commotion outside, and the villagers were talking about it.
"Where is this boy from, and whose family is he going to!"
"Not to mention he is quite handsome, but he looks a little familiar. Is he from a family in our village?"
"Huh? Why did he go to the Jiang family?"
Everyone was excited and curious, surrounding the young man, and stopped only when they reached the Jiang family.
Little Nuobao seemed to suddenly sense something, and he quickly jumped onto the windowsill and looked out excitedly!
