Goudan nodded obediently and nudged Jiang Li's legs.
Jiang Li quickly brought him the bones left over from dinner.
When Goudan saw a big bowl of meat and bones, stars appeared in his eyes with joy.
"Master, you are so good to me, I like you so much!"
Next, Goudan devoured the bowl of bones in no time.
After eating all the bones, Goudan burped with satisfaction.
"Master, thank you for preparing dinner for me. I will catch you another rabbit tomorrow."
Goudan sat upright on the ground, his two front legs lazily holding his belly.
"Rabbits are not cabbages, how can they be so easy to kill?"
Jiang Li picked up the rabbit on the ground. The wild rabbit's fur was gray in color and slightly rough, but the fur inside was very fine.
It is winter now and there is not much for rabbits to eat, so this rabbit is starving and skinny. Fortunately, this rabbit is relatively large, so it can be skinned and washed and stewed in a small pot.
"There are a lot of wild rabbits on the mountain. They dig holes in the mountain every day. I can tell whether there are rabbits in those holes by looking at them."
Goudan raised his little head proudly. Relying on his small size, he went straight to the hare's nest. Therefore, while it was very difficult for others to catch hares in the mountains, it was a piece of cake for him.
"You're a clever little fellow. You may not be big, but you have a very smart brain."
As soon as Jiang Li praised Goudan, he immediately smiled with his eyes curved into two crescents and his little tail kept wagging. Everyone could see how proud he was.
"Didn't the master say that concentration is the essence? Do you think I am right?"
Goudan took the initiative to get into Jiang Li's arms, lowered his head and nudged her ankles again and again with embarrassment.
"Yes, yes, but you've been growing faster and faster lately, and you won't be so petite anymore soon."
Jiang Li hugged Goudan in his arms and rubbed its back again and again.
Its fur is smooth and soft, and Jiang Li can't let it go.
"It doesn't matter if it's not small. The master will like me anyway."
Goudan is a smart little dog. He can make Jiang Li smile with just a few simple words.
The next morning, there were loud knocks on Jiang Li's door, and Jiang Longtao's eager voice kept shouting outside.
"Jiang Li, Jiang Li, are you awake? I brought you something!"
Jiang Li had just finished feeding her child and was about to go into bed for another nap when she heard a noise outside and quickly put on her coat and trousers. She picked up a comb, casually shaved her hair a few times, and ran out.
It was still a little dark outside, and it should be just after five o'clock. I didn't expect Jiang Longtao to deliver the things so quickly.
Jiang Li had just opened the yard door when Jiang Longtao came in pushing a full cart.
"Why did you buy so much?"
Jiang Li was shocked when he saw the piles of yam, glutinous rice and fruits.
These things must weigh about 700 to 800 kilograms in total. The cart has been slightly deformed by the pressure, so it is possible that it weighs over a thousand kilograms.
"Recently, there have been so many people buying pastries and the demand is huge. During your time in Northeast China, I also discussed purchasing with many fellow villagers. Some of them even went to the mountains to dig up a lot of yam for me. Because we had prepared it in advance, these things were able to arrive so quickly."
"We prepare more things because business is good during the Chinese New Year, and we need to seize the opportunity to make a lot of money."
Jiang Li doesn’t know how much money she has now, but she can make a lot of money by selling cakes. The last income made her very excited, and Jiang Li is also ready to do a big job.
"Okay, then let's hurry up and get to work."
Jiang Longtao unloaded the glutinous rice and fruits, but the yam was still left on the cart.
"It's too slow for the two of us to work alone. I've hired a few people to help with cleaning, cooking, and peeling. You only need to be responsible for the glutinous rice and fruit, as well as the final processing."
Jiang Longtao took two stoves from the car. This type of stove can burn both firewood and charcoal. The stove is not big but very convenient.
"I brought these two stoves back. The workload has been heavy recently, and your clay stove alone won't be enough. We still have to light up the stove as well."
"Burning wood in the stove is too troublesome. I'll have someone send a truckload of coal over soon. That will save us a lot of trouble."
Jiang Longtao arranged everything very well. It seems that he has gained a lot of benefits from selling cakes this time, so he is a little impatient now.
"Okay, you can send me the expense list when the time comes, and we'll reconcile the accounts after the cakes are sold."
Jiang Li spoke to Jiang Longtao in a businesslike manner, which made him hate him to the core, but he couldn't find any fault with it.
"Okay, I'll get busy then."
Jiang Longtao hadn't had breakfast yet and originally wanted to stay for breakfast, but when he saw that Jiang Li had no intention of cooking, and time was running out, he had no choice but to go to work first.
After chatting with Jiang Longtao, it was already dawn and Jiang Li started to make breakfast.
In the next few days, Jiang Li went into the kitchen every morning. Apart from feeding the child and doing some simple care, she was so busy that she hardly even left the room.
…
It was almost evening when Shen Changan left Cong Jiangli's house. He did not rush back, but stayed in a guesthouse for two days. It was not until the morning of the 17th that he returned home with the ticket he had bought long ago.
After Jiang Li returned to the provincial capital, he did not go directly back to his home, but went to his grandmother's house first.
My parents will definitely be very angry if I run away from home this time, so I have to seek help from my grandma.
Shen Changan came to his grandmother's house and saw his grandmother with a cold face as soon as he entered the door. It seemed that his parents had told her about his running away from home.
"You little bastard, you're not at home for a blind date during Chinese New Year, but you're out having fun. Why don't you just stay home?"
As soon as Shen Changan entered the door, her grandmother started scolding.
Shen Changan sat on the sofa with his head down, not daring to say a word. After his grandmother finished scolding him, he raised his head with a smile and handed over a rolled-up portrait.
"Grandma, I brought you something good this time. Come and take a look. Do you like it?"
Grandma glared at him and didn't even reach out to take it. It seemed that she was really angry this time.
"Hmph! Don't give me that playful smile. I won't fall for it!"
"Grandma, take a look! Haven't you always wanted to find an artist to draw a beautiful portrait for you? Now the portrait is ready for you. Don't you really want to take a look?"
Grandma turned her head and glanced at him indifferently. Although she was a little curious, she continued to turn her head away and ignore him.
Even his grandmother, who always loved him the most, was so angry this time, not to mention his parents who had always been dissatisfied with his flyers outside.
“Ding ding ding ding!”
Shen Changan took the initiative to untie the rope and open the portrait, then shamelessly came to grandma.
"Grandma, please take a look. Who is this old man in the portrait with white hair, youthful face, and a vigorous spirit?"
