Ruan Meng looked behind her, wondering when her third brother would return, when she heard his voice.
The three men took off their black clothes, hid them behind their backs, and quickly slipped into the house.
Ruan Meng approached and asked, "Third Brother, how are you?"
The third brother revealed the copper coins he had hidden in his black clothes, went to the backyard, washed them repeatedly with spring water, and, worried about being seen, stored them in a bamboo basket, covered them, and let them air dry.
The third brother said, "It went smoothly. We saw several people running up the mountain, so we took out the copper coins. However..."
Ruan Meng raised her eyebrows, and then heard the third brother say:
“Sun Jiang reacted quickly. He seemed to have noticed us as we were leaving, but he didn’t follow.”
Ruan Meng nodded. If it's Sun Jiang, there's nothing to worry about for the time being.
Ruan Meng stoked the fire, heated the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) that had been placed over her in a double boiler, gave two to her third brother, and sent four more to the neighbor.
When we got back to the backyard, we saw the third brother's happy smiling face.
"Little sister, what's this called? It's delicious!"
Ruan Meng explained, "This is called roujiamo (Chinese hamburger). It's not difficult to make. The outside looks like a steamed bun. You cut it in half, add minced braised meat, and some shepherd's purse."
"Next time, I'll invite Third Brother along."
The third child held up four fingers, "Okay! Next time, I want to eat four!"
Ruan Meng chuckled, and seeing that her third brother had finished eating, she asked:
"Third Brother, are you tired?"
The third brother shook his head. "Little sister, what do you need me to do?"
Ruan Meng's eyes lit up. "Make something delicious! But first, we need to catch some big fish!"
The third brother went out and headed straight up the mountain to find the Feng brothers.
Hearing the commotion, Xiao Kai came out and asked, "Miss, what are you up to now?"
Ruan Mengchao looked around and, seeing that her elder brother and sister-in-law were not there, presumably having gone upstairs to rest, lowered her voice:
"Let's go catch fish, catch big fish!"
Xiao Kai's eyes lit up. "Can I go?"
Ruan Meng nodded, "Of course."
Ah Yuan poked his head out of the house, "Girl, how can you go beachcombing without me?"
Ruan Meng was pleasantly surprised, but before she could answer, she heard a cold voice from behind A Yuan.
"Are you looking for death again?"
Sun Chengen stared at her coldly, his face expressionless.
"Remember what I said? My sister's life is very precious. Before the supplies are distributed..."
Ruan Meng took a breath and held back her explanation:
"Don't worry, don't worry! I won't go into the water today, I'll just stay on the shore and watch, okay?"
"I plan to make a type of noodle that will be good for Miss Mu'en's health, and it can also be a business opportunity in the future."
From the second floor above, I could hear my sister-in-law's voice.
"Little sister, your older brother asked me to remind you that our family can earn a little less and we won't starve for now. There's no need for you to risk your life."
The elder sister-in-law said earnestly, "Don't take any risks and make your brother and me worry."
Ruan Meng nodded obediently and looked up to discuss, "Sister-in-law, I won't go into the water, I'll just watch from the shore, okay? I'll have my second brother watch over me."
The eldest sister-in-law glanced at the second brother in the distance. Hearing the sound, the second brother ran over and deliberately made a joke:
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, if my sister goes into the water, I'll break her legs!"
The eldest sister-in-law clearly didn't believe it, but fortunately, the second and third brothers were watching over her, and it seemed that Xiao Kai and A Yuan were also there, so she was a little relieved.
Ruan Meng reminded her, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, you and your brother should go to bed early. There will be something delicious to eat tomorrow morning!"
Feng Yun and Feng Xi were all smiles as they separated.
Ruan Meng was a little embarrassed, "Thank you for troubling you two brothers."
Feng Yun waved her hand readily, "You're too kind, little sister! Every time you call us, it means something good has happened, and we find it interesting too!"
"You gave us more than a dozen seaweed cakes during the day, and we made some for Grandma and the children. They all loved them!"
"If you want to thank us, make roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) next time, is that what you call it? Make a few more, we'll love them!"
Ruan Meng nodded with a smile.
Xiao Kai, along with Ruan Meng, Lao Er, Lao San, Feng Yun, Feng Xi, and others, arrived at the shore.
Sun Chengen turned around helplessly, and Sun Mu'en, who had been sitting up straight behind him, pulled his neck back and pretended to be uninterested.
Sun Chengen instructed Caiju and the guards, "Prepare a hand warmer and pull the carriage!"
Sun Mu'en looked up in surprise, her eyes sparkling.
Ah Yuan was about to leave when he heard this and waited for the young master and young lady to come together.
Then Sun Chengen instructed, "Tell the craftsmen to build a small boat as soon as possible."
A Yuan didn't realize that the family's merchant ships were still in the South Island. If they really needed a ship, it would be very convenient to ask the young master to arrange it. Why did they need to build a ship?
Sun Mu'en, standing behind him, winked slightly at A Yuan, who seemed to have thought of something...
