"Everyone, let's eat! It's been so hot lately, everyone should eat more to replenish our energy!" After Hu Mingmei served food to Bai Nuo, everyone looked at Hu Mingmei strangely, obviously wondering why she would do that. Lu Ying, in particular, was almost speechless. Fortunately, Hu Mingmei's strange behavior only lasted for a short while.
But I don't know why people need to take tonics in the middle of summer. Aren't they afraid of getting too much internal heat from taking tonics in this hot weather?
"Bai Yu, let's go pick vegetables together!" After lunch, Bai Nuo, accompanied by Aunt Liu, carrying a large vegetable basket and wearing a straw hat, stood at the door of the main room and waved to Bai Yu.
"But I...I still need to practice martial arts..." Bai Yu said reluctantly, leaning all over Lu Ying.
"What are you dawdling for?" Bai Nuo walked in and pulled him out. "What's wrong with practicing martial arts? You still have to do chores after class, don't you? Get moving."
As he spoke, no matter how much Bai Yu struggled, he slapped the straw hat onto Bai Yu's head.
"Let me tell you, don't be coy! I'll hit you!" After putting on her hat, Bai Nuo gave Bai Yu a warning look, and Bai Yu had no choice but to obediently follow Aunt Liu. Only then did Bai Nuo follow.
"Second Master, where are you going?" To everyone's surprise, after Bai Nuo left, Hu Mingmei followed him out, and Lu Ying hurriedly called out.
Hu Mingmei glanced back at Lu Ying and said disdainfully, "Have you grown hair on your butt now? Can't you see everyone else is out working? How dare you sit here?"
Lu Ying immediately stood up. "Yes, I will go with you right now!"
"Forget it, you'd better hurry up and buy the things and come back, hurry up!" After shooing Lu Ying out, Hu Mingmei headed towards the fishpond.
The sunlight made the ground appear white and dusty. Bai Nuo and the other two walked side by side. Bai Nuo asked, "Auntie, do you know how to make pickled vegetables and other things?" Because they lived on the second or third floor, Bai Nuo had already started preparing.
Although the three floors will not all open at the same time, once the first floor opens, things will get very busy, and we won't be able to prepare for the second and third floors. Although we don't have much time now, we can at least make some basic preparations.
"Yes, I can!" Aunt Liu smiled proudly on her big face. "Girl, I'm not bragging, but my pickled vegetables are really delicious. My daughter loves them the most, and everyone in our village likes my pickled vegetables too."
"Can you make pickled vegetables for me from now on?" Bai Nuo asked. "I'll give you a commission based on how much I sell!"
"Girl, you just need to tell me!" Aunt Liu waved her hand. "What's with all this talk about commissions?" The girl is already paying a lot of wages. If she wants a commission, isn't that just too much?
"Okay!" Bai Nuo nodded, not saying much more. Anyway, it was still a long shot, and they would talk about it in detail later.
"Sis, there are people over there!" The three of them were talking when they soon saw the fishpond. Bai Yu looked over from afar and tugged at Bai Nuo.
Bai Nuo looked over and, sure enough, there was a woman squatting by the vegetable patch, her back to them, doing nothing.
Could it be someone stealing vegetables? The three people exchanged glances and quickly walked over. The person was still squatting there, completely oblivious.
"What are you doing here?" Bai Nuo asked coldly.
The man was startled when he heard a sound behind him. He turned around and froze.
Bai Nuo and the others were also stunned.
Isn't that Chen Qiuling? What's she doing stealing vegetables from their house?
When Chen Qiuling saw Bai Nuo and the others arrive, she stood up and tried to leave, but Bai Nuo grabbed her arm and said, "Wait a minute!"
