"Village chief, we haven't eaten in a long time. Do you know if we can beg for something to eat?"
Everyone looked over, and their faces darkened.
The village chief and several families recognized the speaker as the original registered resident of Wanjiacun.
The one who started it was the one who talked the most in the past two days, and who unwittingly stirred up the conflict.
Just as the village chief was about to speak, Ruan Meng walked to the side, gestured to the village chief, and spoke first.
"The village chief is a guest at my house. Your question is ridiculous. Why don't you ask the host instead of the guest?"
No matter what the village chief says, he will be entangled by these people.
Agreeing would be asking for trouble; refusing would be seen as heartless and indifferent to the newcomer's well-being.
With a single sentence, Ruan Meng tossed the ball back.
Unfortunately, the other party was also shameless.
"Since you put it that way, miss, may we ask you for some food?"
Ruan Meng made an exaggerated expression, as if she couldn't believe it, "Oh, how can you, a grown woman, say something like that?"
"I almost drowned yesterday while trying to catch these two big fish. You guys have hands and feet, and you're bigger than me, right? If you want to eat fish, why don't you catch them yourselves? How dare you ask me for them?!"
If it were other villagers, not to mention they wouldn't be so shameless as to ask for it, it was Ruan Meng who took the initiative to give it to them. They would even bring out their "good stuff" from home, such as a few salted fish or a plate of dried fish, and give it to her in return.
He's different from these guys!
Didn't the village chief give them wooden buckets? I heard that Sun Jiang and Zhang Yue even shared their food with others...
They're starving, why don't they look for the reasons within themselves, and have the nerve to complain!
Sure enough, the man immediately lost his temper.
When Feng Da and Feng Si, dressed in their official uniforms, came out, the man finally composed himself.
He said sheepishly, "We misunderstood. We just wanted to join in the fun, but we didn't expect to be so unpopular. It's all our fault for the misunderstanding earlier. We just wanted to smooth things over and integrate with everyone..."
Ruan Meng snorted and laughed, "Since you're so good at talking, why don't you just jump into the sea? We can all have a cup of tea then!"
At this moment, not wanting to escalate the conflict or put the village chief in a difficult position, Ruan Qian tried to smooth things over by saying:
"It's not finished yet. As you all can see, the fish was indeed caught by my younger sister. It was quite hard work to prepare, so I told you... the truth."
A muffled laugh came from behind me.
Ruan Qian said seriously, "Once it's ready, I'll have my two younger brothers deliver it to you."
Since Ruan Qian had already said that, the others couldn't stay any longer.
Xiao Kai sidled up to Ruan Meng, revealing his true colors, "What a jerk! He's got such a big face!"
After saying that, she covered her mouth, afraid that the young master and the master would hear her.
Ruan Meng glanced at the backs of those people, a dark glint flashing in her eyes.
Making dumplings and stuffed fish balls will take some time, and considering Sun Mu'en's taste, Ruan Meng asked Sun Cheng'en for help.
"Ah Yuan, could you lend me some? I'm worried that Miss Mu En won't be able to handle the fish's behavior, so I'm planning to prepare something else for her separately."
Looking down at the man, Sun Chengen noticed his tone of voice...
Her self-righteousness was somewhat similar to that of the people she had just scolded and driven away.
Ah Yuan frantically winked behind Ruan Meng, gesturing, "Take me away! Take me away now! I'm very useful!"
If it weren't for A Yuan's reminder, Ruan Meng would have almost forgotten his "skill".
I've been on the island for over a month and haven't encountered any seaweed yet, which is really strange!
The third child learns things very quickly. After Ruan Meng personally demonstrated it once, the third child was already able to slaughter a pig independently and organize the pork and offal in an orderly manner.
Because there were many people, Ruan Meng braised the pork and offal together.
Last time I suggested to Sun Chengen that we open a separate braised food shop, so this is a good opportunity to let him experience it again.
If you manage to find the kelp, you can add it to the braised meat...
I can't even imagine what it will taste like.
"Girl, what do you want to catch this time?"
Even a seasoned calligrapher like Xiao Kai couldn't bear to hear this.
That's outrageous!
Listen, listen!
The ocean is your home; grab whatever you want.
Ruan Meng read his thoughts from Xiao Kai's eyes and couldn't help but chuckle.
Ruan Meng described it to him, and it turned out that people in the underworld also had the habit of eating kelp, but they usually boiled it in water. Ruan Meng thought it was a waste of good food!
But think about it, for villagers who can't afford meat all year round and are struggling to survive, they have neither the energy nor the pork bones to make seaweed taste good.
How much do you want?
A Yuan asked casually.
Xiao Kai clenched his fists. If he weren't the young master's servant, A Yuan's fist would probably have really swung at him!
That looks impressive!
A-Yuan, completely unaware, looked down and searched...
What he said was simply the truth.
