Li Dazhu's verdict came out quickly. He was sentenced to three years for conspiring to rob others, while the two people who robbed Tian An were sentenced to five years.
I don’t know if what Tian An said before worked, but this time Old Lady Wang and Mrs. Qian didn’t come to make trouble.
On the other hand, Daniu, remembering the yamen runner's warning, refused to let Tian An travel alone again. He no longer lived in the courtyard, but followed Tian An home after school every day and went to the county town together in the morning. He instructed several people to keep an eye on Tian An at all times.
I don't know if everyone's precautions worked or if the other party had given up. Anyway, life has returned to peace, but Daniel still dare not relax.
The days passed one by one, and the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching.
These days, Tian An and Mang Zhong did not go to the braised meat stall because they were preparing new products for the Dragon Boat Festival for Huibao Pavilion, and the job of mixing the braised meat was given to Mrs. Du.
A few days ago, when I came to see Tian An, I happened to hear Tian An say that Huibao Pavilion was going to launch new products and would have no time to take care of the braised meat stall, and for a while, I couldn't find a suitable person to take over.
Mrs. Du knew that Tian An was running a braised meat business in the county town. Upon hearing this, she volunteered with the intention of giving it a try.
Because of the previous unpleasantness between her family and Tian An, she felt that Tian An might not trust her too much, so she didn't hold much hope.
But Tian An agreed after thinking about it for a moment, and also promised to pay her ten cents a day.
Mrs. Du didn't expect Tian An to agree, and she couldn't believe it for a moment.
When she came to her senses, she heard Tian An wanted to pay her, so she quickly refused, saying that she just wanted to help, and she was very happy that Tian An trusted her, so she didn't need to pay.
Tian An said, "Brothers should settle accounts clearly. How can we let Second Aunt work for nothing?"
Mrs. Du knew that Tian An didn't want to owe her a favor, so she smiled and said, "Then Second Aunt will shamelessly take ten cents from you."
Tian An added: "Second Aunt has put in the work, so she deserves to be paid."
In this way, Mangzhong taught Du twice and let her try it herself. When she felt that she had no problem with it, Du followed everyone to the county town to sell braised meat the next day.
Mrs. Du knew that the braised meat business was good, but she didn't expect it to be so popular.
Looking at the long queue in front of her, Mrs. Du swallowed her saliva. How much money could she make from this?
Before she could think about it, Luo Youcai skillfully weighed and cut a portion of braised meat and put it into a bowl in front of her. He said "spicy" and turned around to continue cutting the meat and weighing it.
Mrs. Du quickly lifted the basin and began to season. After mixing the first portion of braised meat, she continued to mix the second portion. She didn't wait any longer and didn't even know when Da Niu would arrive.
The braised meat became increasingly popular, and we prepared more and more things. In the past, after everyone finished selling, they would go to the courtyard to cook for Da Niu and Xiao Kang, but now Da Niu has to come over to help for a while after school every day.
When the braised meat was finally sold out and they stopped working, Mrs. Du felt like her hands were no longer her own.
After selling the braised meat, Qiu Tian took Mrs. Du to the courtyard to cook. Luo Youcai and Daniu went to buy meat.
Braised meat sells well, and has already bought up all the pig heads, pig trotters and offal from several meat stalls. If they were brave enough to kill more pigs to sell, Tian An would have wanted to buy more!
After counting the money, Da Niu asked the butcher to count it again. If it was correct, he would count the money for them.
After the two men bought the meat and went back, they took the meat they had bought for themselves and brought it to the kitchen for Mrs. Du.
Although Mrs. Du’s cooking is not as good as Tian An and Mangzhong’s, it is better than the group of rough men sitting here.
After dinner, Da Niu and Xiao Kang went to school. Because they had to wait for Da Niu to finish school before they could go back, they took out the pig's head and trotters to wash.
The yard is rented, so the pig offal has to be taken back to wash, so as not to make the yard dirty and smelly, which would make the landlord unhappy.
After waiting for a long time for Daniu to finish school, it was already late when he got home. Du had to go home to cook and could not continue to help.
Before leaving, Tian An counted out ten coins and gave them to her, then cut a piece of meat for her. Looking at the meat in front of her, Du Shi wanted to refuse, but when she thought of the men and children at home who had not tasted meat for a long time, she could not bring herself to say no.
Tian An seemed to understand her thoughts and passed the meat forward again:
"Thank you for your hard work today, Second Aunt. This piece of meat is a little gift from An An. Please don't despise it. Take it back and give it to Zhuang Zhuang to nourish him!
Get some rest when you get back, because you'll have to trouble Second Aunt again tomorrow!"
Mrs. Du didn't know what to say. She thanked him with tears in her eyes, then took the meat and turned back.
It was already late when Mrs. Du returned home. She immediately prepared the meat and stewed it for the first time in a long time.
After Tian Mingcai returned from the fields with a few children, they smelled the strong smell of meat in the air and their mouths watered. They thought it was the meat stewed next door and didn't think much about it.
But when he entered the house and saw the pot of meat on the table, he lost his composure. His eyes were fixed on the large bowl of meat, and he didn't even dare to blink, for fear that the meat would be gone in the blink of an eye.
Looking at the children who were staring at the meat with a look of disbelief on their faces, Mrs. Du felt sad.
She raised her head, held back her tears, and then walked over with a smile and said, "Okay, stop looking. Go wash up first, and you'll be able to eat soon."
Zhuangzhuang asked Mrs. Du happily, "Mom! Why do we have meat today?"
Mrs. Du patted his head lovingly and said, "Your sister An An asked me to bring this to nourish you. Now, go wash your hands and eat!"
Tian Mingcai took a look at the meat on the table and turned around to wash his hands without saying anything.
Because of the meat, Tian Mingcai's family had a rare sumptuous dinner.
That night, Tian Mingcai lay in bed and asked, "Did An An give you the meat? Didn't she say she would give you money?"
Mrs. Du took out the ten coins that Tian An had given her and said, "It's money, and the meat is extra. The girl is thinking about the strong ones!"
Tian Mingcai stood up and said, "That girl may appear cold on the outside but she's actually warm-hearted. You should work hard for her."
Mrs. Du put the money away and said, "I saved it."
Tian An's home.
Tian An and Daniu had just decided on the limited edition dolls for the Dragon Boat Festival.
It's a cute little kitten wrapped in zongzi leaves and tied with colorful strings. Tian An named her Wu Yue. It's both festive and adorable, and Tian An loves it.
After giving the blueprint to Mangzhong for proofing, Tian An looked at the colorful ropes tied around Wu Yue's body and remembered the handmade bracelets he made in his previous life. He found some colorful ropes and went back to his room to study them.
Half an hour later, Tian An finally finished weaving one. He even wove a small, tender green rice dumpling onto the colorful bracelet, creating a beautiful and festive atmosphere.
Tian An rolled his eyes and walked towards Da Niu's study.
After arriving at the study, Tian An tiptoed to Daniu's chair with his hands behind his back and said, "Brother Daniu, please raise your hands!"
Da Niu didn't ask Tian An what she was going to do, he just raised his hand and stretched it in front of her.
