Chapter 324 Mu Yihan is going to Dalui Village
The next morning, after sending off the servants of the Xiao family, Jiang Fenghu and his wife also took a carriage and went to the city to distribute porridge.
Feng wanted to go back to the house and take advantage of the good weather to wash the quilt cover before winter.
At this time, she remembered that the chicken coop was messed up yesterday and she hadn't had time to clean it up yet.
"The good old hens were all kept for laying eggs, but they were all killed by that man. It's a waste." Feng couldn't help but feel distressed and could only eat the meat as soon as possible.
She called Fengmiao again, "Laowu, come and help me. Let's pluck the chicken, chop it into pieces, blanch it in hot water, and coat it with flour. I'll fry it for you guys at noon."
It's hard to bleed a dead chicken, and it tastes bad when stewed or stir-fried. Only by adding more ingredients to marinate it can it be eaten better.
When Fengmiao heard that they were going to eat fried chicken, he was so happy that he stopped playing Cuju and ran into the yard with Wangfu.
"Mom, fried chicken legs are the best. Then put some hot sauce on them!" Little Fengmiao was drooling.
Mrs. Feng touched him, and then touched Wangfu who was licking his lips, "Okay, there are too many chickens, and Nuobao can't eat the chicken legs, so you can all have some. After frying, give Wangfu a chicken leg and chicken wing."
Wangfu was so useless that he was as happy as a monkey, jumping up and down, "Thank you, auntie, I can also help you pluck the chicken feathers, wash the chicken meat, and even light the fire for you!"
"Okay, let's go." Mrs. Feng smiled and went to the backyard. She was about to open the door and take out the dead chicken.
As soon as she entered, she saw that in the original chicken coop, eight more living old hens had appeared, lying in a row obediently!
Mrs. Feng was shocked and stared.
If the dead chicken from yesterday had not been beside her, she would have thought that she had gotten up too fast this morning and her eyes were dazzled.
The extra hens were obviously caused by Xiao Nuobao.
Seven or eight laying hens were gone just now, and now there are eight more, which will not delay the eggs at all.
Feng took a deep breath, looked at Feng Miao who was also opening his mouth wide, and flicked his head to warn him not to arouse Wangfu's suspicion.
Feng Miao's mind was quick, and he nodded quickly, pretending that nothing had happened, and he took out two dead chickens and ran away.
"Wangfu, you also take two, come with me, let's boil some water!" He turned around and shouted.
After the two children returned to the front yard, Feng wiped her hands and went into the house. She was so angry that she lifted the quilt of the concubine.
Xiao Nuobao had just woken up and had nothing to do, so she took out some offerings to give out porridge and "restocked" the chicken coop.
The cold air came into the quilt, and she shrank her shoulders, pouted at her mother and put her hands on her hips.
"Mom, you are naughty!"
Feng came closer to look at her, "You are the little naughty girl, I can't let you be so scary."
"What's the matter with the chicken coop? Mom is not stopping you from doing it, but next time this happens, you should let me know in advance so that I can be prepared." Feng was helpless.
When Xiao Nuobao heard
this, he quickly pretended to be stupid, picked up the bowl of water beside the kang, and started drinking it, covering up his guilty expression. "Come on, you keep silent when mother asks you about this. Do you really think mother doesn't know?" Feng shook her head with amusement.
Xiao Nuobao still didn't say anything, and didn't dare to stop drinking water, almost drinking it all.
Since the lady didn't want to make it clear, Feng knew what was going on. As a mother, she just had to wait for the lady's arrangement and stopped nagging.
Seeing that Xiao Nuobao didn't put down the bowl, Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she had to take it away.
"We haven't had breakfast yet, so don't drink water and you'll be full. Eat the porridge and tofu skin buns first. When your elder brother comes back from chopping wood, he'll borrow the village chief's ox cart and take us to Zhangjia Village to go to the market!"
When he heard that they were going to the market, Xiao Nuobao's eyes lit up immediately. He didn't care about pretending to be stupid anymore, and he got into his mother's arms and started to rub against her.
"That's great, I can go out and play again!"
"Mom, then I want to wear the little pink jacket that Xiao Guoguo bought for me, the one with the little goldfish pattern! And the red wind hat, the longevity lock, and the topaz bracelet, I want to wear them all!" The little fat girl rolled her short legs and giggled.
Feng pinched the concubine's nose and said, "You little girl loves to show off. When you go out to play, you really want to put all your belongings on yourself!"
There was no way, who asked her to pamper the concubine, so she opened the suitcase and went to get it.
The big market in Zhangjia Village is held every half a month. There
are not many people during the busy farming season, but once late autumn comes, it will be lively and last until after the Chinese New Year.
When farmers have some free time, they put some of the hard-earned money from the autumn harvest in their pockets. The wealthy ones buy a few feet of fabric and three or two pounds of meat.
Although those who are short of money can only buy some small things at most, it is also fun to follow them and stroll around.
Especially the candied haws that children love to eat, which are the most popular during the market. They cost two cents a string, and the long strands of rock sugar are so delicious.
Not long after, Jiang Fengnian came back with two bundles of dry firewood.
He sent one bundle to Yin'er's house, and then went to the village chief's house to borrow an oxcart. The horse carriage had been driven to the city by Fenghu. Fortunately, Zhangjia Village was not far away, so the oxcart was enough.
Besides, driving a horse carriage in the country market would be too ostentatious.
"Mom, I'm back. The big market in Zhangjia Village will be over before noon. Let's go there as soon as possible." Jiang Fengnian stood at the door, rubbing his hands and shouting.
In the house, the mother and the two had already dressed up.
As soon as the eldest brother called, Xiao Nuobao clung to his mother's waist, slid down from the kang, and ran out happily.
"Fengmiao, take Wangfu home to play, don't let him go, wait for mother to come back and fry chicken for you." Feng looked at the two boys who were sweating and tired, and said.
Xiao Nuobao did not forget to pull the fifth brother's sleeve, "Wu Guoguo, wait for Nuobao to come back, and bring you candied haws and winter melon candies!"
Fengmiao knew that his sister had a lot of golden melon seeds and was a little rich woman, so she would definitely be able to buy a lot.
He smiled and nodded vigorously. After wiping his big nose, he pulled Wangfu to the kang and waited.
Little Nuobao was wearing a pink satin short jacket, a fox fur scarf around her neck, and plump fur strips on her sleeves, so she was wrapped tightly.
As soon as her elder brother carried her to the car, she sat down in a corner, and even grabbed a cushion and put it under her buttocks, and then tucked her feet together, looking like a pink glutinous rice cake.
The villagers who passed by took a look and couldn't help but want to kiss her.
Jiang Fengnian doted on his sister, and then with a smile on his face, he raised his long whip and headed towards Zhangjia Village.
At this time, in the city, at the Qingqing Inn.
After two days of inquiring outside the city, Ali finally found out that a fight had actually occurred on the forest road a few days ago!
With a clue, he hurried back from outside the city and reported as soon as he entered.
"Master State Master, it is just as you expected. I just learned from a peddler that not long ago, in a forest leading to Yuncheng, two teams of people did fight each other, and a lot of blood was seen." Ali looked anxious.
Mu Yihan was flipping through a comic book, with a smile on his face.
Hearing the voice, he had to raise his head and look away from the painting, "Oh? Then do you know who it is and where it ended up?"
Ali replied hurriedly, "What a coincidence, the people who were attacked were Xiao Duzhi and his servants!"
Mu Yihan stroked the drawing paper, his expression serious.
"It seems that this fight was most likely caused by the military order. We have found the right person. The one who did it, huh, was really stupid."
Ali continued to reply, "I asked the people there again. It happened that there were soldiers passing by that day. The bandits who did it fled, but Xiao Duzhi had been taken away by Commander Jiang. They must still be in one place, that is, Daliu Village."
Daliu Village?
Mu Yihan stood up and said in a neutral tone, "It seems like we have to go to this village."
