Chapter 113: Collaborating with Ke Lai Xiang Again
When Baoya and Yun Chenglu returned to Kelaixiang, it was already getting dark. Gu Wang dragged his tail and followed them, quietly pretending to be a docile big dog.
It didn't shake its fur and turn back until it saw the two babies enter the gate of Ke Lai Xiang.
As soon as the two stepped into the door of Ke Lai Xiang, Xiao Douzi jumped out from somewhere like a monkey.
"Hey, you two little ancestors, Grandma Zhao and Uncle Yun are so worried that they are going crazy. What took you two just to come back?"
Baoya shook the paper bag in her arms and said, "There are so many people lining up at Grandma's today. We've been waiting for a long time."
They kept their promise and came out of Hongdouxuan and stopped by the old lady to buy some buns.
"Then...what is brother Chenglu holding in his arms?" Xiaodouzi's eyes fell on the two exaggeratedly large bags in Yun Chenglu's arms.
I thought, could it be that these two people bought all the buns made by grandma in one go?
Yun Chenglu's forehead was covered with sweat, and he grinned: "Haha, these are snacks. We met some acquaintances and they gave them to us to eat."
Xiaodouzi looked at the bright Hongdouxuan logo on the big bag and his eyes widened in surprise.
Do you have an acquaintance at Hongdouxuan? What kind of acquaintance would he be able to give so much at once?
You know, Hongdouxuan dim sum is famous for its deliciousness, but it is not cheap either. These two big bags are worth at least a few taels of silver.
Xiaodouzi originally wanted the two kids to keep the things in their arms with him for safekeeping, so that they wouldn't have to carry the heavy things when they went upstairs to look for Zhao Zhilan.
Suddenly, the voices of her boss and Zhao Zhilan were heard on the stairs. It turned out that the old lady was unable to sit still because her two children never came back.
As soon as Zhao Zhilan came downstairs, she saw Baoya and Yun Chenglu, and her anger immediately erupted.
She ran down the stairs quickly with her small feet, and when she reached the two children, she grabbed Yun Chenglu's ear.
"You little bastard! I asked you to take your sister to buy some buns, but you spent so much time doing it? Tell me! Did you take Baoya out for a crazy walk on the streets again?"
"Ouch! Milk!" Yun Chenglu grimaced in pain, "Milky, I don't have any!"
"You still dare to quibble! I'll beat you up!" Zhao Zhilan said as she was about to take off her shoes and beat the man with the soles of her shoes.
Baoya quickly went up and hugged Zhao Zhilan's thighs: "Grandma, don't blame Second Brother!"
"Don't worry about this. If grandma doesn't teach this brat a lesson, he won't learn his lesson!" Zhao Zhilan was furious.
Yun Chenglu said pitifully: "Grandma, I know I was wrong. Look, we are in public here. Let's not affect Boss Zhu's business!"
Zhao Zhilan paused, and Baoya took the opportunity to stand on tiptoe, grab her sleeve and shake it to attract her attention: "Grandma, we really are going to buy buns! Look!"
The short, chubby little finger pointed at the small bag on the ground. It was indeed the buns from grandma's house.
But what are those two huge bags next to the small bag? They're Hongdouxuan bags!
Zhao Zhilan's anger was rising again.
Baoya quickly winked at her: "Grandma, we met someone we know! I'll tell you later on the oxcart!"
Zhao Zhilan thought about it for a moment and understood that it might be because she met an acquaintance that she wasted her time.
But she didn't know what was going on with these two big bags of snacks. If they were really given to her for free, she couldn't just take them. She had to pay them back with the money.
Zhu Qi stood at the stairs and watched the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren quarreling, with a kind smile on his face.
Seeing Yun Dalang standing quietly by and watching, he walked over and said, "Little brother Yun, the atmosphere in your family is really great."
"Haha," Yun Dalang laughed heartily and answered simply, "What's good about it? Farmers don't have any rules. It's just noisy all the time."
Zhu Qi didn't say anything else and let out a long sigh. He was younger than Zhao Zhilan, but he also had many children and grandchildren. It was just that his younger generations were away for a long time, and he hadn't enjoyed such family happiness for a long time.
While Zhao Zhilan and Yun Dalang were waiting for Baoya and Yun Chenglu, they had already negotiated the wild boar meat issue with Zhu Qi.
Ke Laixiang didn't want so many pounds of wild boar meat, so he only accepted 100 pounds and paid Zhao Zhilan five taels of silver at the price of fifty cents per pound.
Zhu Qi didn't want the remaining 200 kilograms, but asked the Yun family to make them into bacon and sausages before buying them back.
When Zhao Zhilan and her friends came to the town this time, they specially brought some bacon and sausages they had made earlier for Zhu Qi to try. Zhu Qi thought they tasted pretty good.
In fact, with the previous experience of tofu and breakfast shops, Zhu Qi is still very confident in the food made by the Yun family.
When it was getting dark, Zhao Zhilan and Yun Dalang took their two children and rode in an ox cart to Feishui Village.
Zhu Qi was afraid that the remaining 200 kilograms of fresh frozen wild boar meat would melt, so he kindly put a lot of ice cubes in the car.
In November, the temperature outside was actually enough to preserve raw meat. However, after they had brought it out for an afternoon, the slightly frozen meat had melted a bit, so Zhu Qi had to put some ice cubes in to keep it cool.
Through the oil paper and old quilt, Baoya curiously stretched out her little finger to poke the cold big ice cube.
The ice was so cold that she put her little finger on it for a while, and she shivered all over.
But she seemed to find it amusing. After suddenly taking her fingers away, she put her fingers back on, shuddered, and then took them away.
Seeing her having so much fun, Zhao Zhilan covered her mouth and smiled helplessly.
Yun Chenglu was speechless. His sister had always been very smart, but why did she act like a silly girl when playing with ice cubes?
Huang Niu parked his car in front of the Yun family's door just as the last ray of sunset was swallowed by the night.
Erlang and Sanlang, who heard the noise, came out to help move things and drive the ox cart into the yard.
On the way, Baoya told Zhao Zhilan about her meeting Jingzhen and Nanxuan.
The old lady was quite emotional. She had always thought that Baoya knew two otherworldly masters, but it turned out that they were the owner and the young master of Hongdouxuan.
Her Baoya is really interesting. One is Kelaixiang and the other is Hongdouxuan, both of them are cooks. They really have an inextricable bond with food.
Yunhua and Yunyue were so happy when they saw the two big bags of Hongdouxuan snacks that they couldn't stop smiling. If Baoya hadn't quickly taken two pieces of snacks and stuffed them into their mouths, they would have drooled.
The eldest brother Yun Chengfu was much more steady. He took Baoya's hand and asked her about her experiences on this trip. When he heard Baoya talk about multi-flavored soy milk and fried dough sticks, he praised her highly.
He Chunxiu and Li Rongyue had already prepared dinner, and Wang Cailian had also cleared the table and put the food on it. The family sat around happily eating big dumplings stuffed with pork and mushrooms.
Zhao Zhilan and the others had not been home for most of the day, so Wang Cailian started talking about gossip about the Chen family while eating.
"Mom, you don't know, Zhou Cuihua came back the other day. She must have made some money. She was so happy and even bought two kilograms of pork to eat!"
Zhao Zhilan was also puzzled: "Everyone in our village knows what kind of person she is. No one will lend her money, right?"
"Then she couldn't have borrowed money elsewhere?" Wang Cailian asked mysteriously. "I heard from the wife of Old Man Zhang across the street that Zhou Cuihua came back from the money shop in town!"
When Zhao Zhilan heard this, she frowned, feeling that if Zhou Cuihua continued like this, the Chen family would sooner or later be destroyed in her hands.
