Chapter 193 It’s worth coming
Before Little Radish Head could run two steps, he was pulled back by Shen Mingqiu. He squatted by the stove and didn't move at all.
"Didn't Sister Wu Min accompany Grandma to Yangjiatun?"
Meng Xu and Chen Mingqiu each took a piece of the freshly-baked duck and ate it.
Occasionally he would stuff a piece into Wu Qing's mouth.
"You're so young, your brain is empty, you need to nourish yourself more..."
Wu Qing licked the oil stains from the corner of his mouth and thought hesitantly that his third brother was still very good to him. If he wanted to bully Dongbao again in the future, he would better not complain!
After slicing for a long time, the plate was still empty.
Wang Youcai was so angry that he clamped the brat under his arm again.
It was his turn to squat next to her and eat.
Well, the old man seems to be addicted to it.
Even after being hit on the butt by Old Song, he was still reluctant to let go of the furry head in his arms.
Shen Mingqiu was unable to resist, so he simply gave in. He was trapped and shouted angrily, "Whose duck is this? Give me a piece!"
“…”
Chen Chunxing patted his head lightly and laughed to himself.
Others' memory gets worse as they get older, but she becomes more forgetful as she gets younger.
Whatever.
The large boxes of things that Yang Yucheng sent were very valuable. They were ostensibly gifts for the Seventh Prince, but in reality, they were mainly for the reputation of the Earl of Kangping's Mansion.
If it is really as he said, and the imperial power changes, once the Earl of Kangping is rehabilitated, it will have to recruit old subordinates. It will be difficult for the remaining direct bloodline to hold on to such great wealth, let alone revive!
The yard was noisy.
The duck that had been sliced earlier had long been eaten up, and now all the children gathered around the oven, squatting and waiting for the meat.
Old Song was thin-skinned and quickly retreated, standing on the edge of the crowd.
Lao Wang, on the other hand, squeezed in at the front as if nothing had happened.
Niu Chunhua, who was annoyed by what she saw, pulled him out by the ear and glared at him.
"How dare you snatch it from a child!"
The children started to cheer and shouted, "That's right!"
"Grandpa is not good, let grandma spank you!"
Wang Youcai's face turned green.
But when he saw Niu Chunhua's smug face, he couldn't say a word of rebuttal.
"These two are really enemies..."
Hearing similar words in their ears, Old Song and Mr. Qi looked at each other.
There is a sense of mutual understanding.
Well, after all, I can’t be the only one eating dog food!
Chen Chunxing laughed so hard that he bent over.
She was the quickest to eat and was the first to finish her meal. She filled a bowl of duck bone soup and took a sip with relish.
But his eyes unexpectedly looked towards Wu Qing.
now.
Wu Qing was hugged by the fourth brother around the waist, and it felt like a little pig was in his arms, whining, as if feeling aggrieved that he and the third brother had "colluded" but did not take him with them.
The skinny little child still had dry and yellow hair even after being raised for several months. Standing next to Chen Yandong, who was a few years younger than him, he looked both obedient and easy to bully.
She sighed, stroking the warm bottom of the bowl with her index finger, and couldn't help but make the decision for him.
This kid lost his energy and spirit outside Lin'an City. It is not appropriate to expose him to others until he recovers.
Please keep those things for him first.
As for what to do in the future, it depends on what Wu Min thinks.
That night.
The Wu couple made an agreement with Shen Chunxing that they would use the treasure buried under the old tree in Xiyuan in exchange for the safety of the Wu family's descendants.
But that box of treasure is not something that Manager Wu can possess.
The Wu family also has only one child.
Others may not know that only the Shen family had been asked to come by Manager Wu more than half a year ago.
Please ask the second daughter of the Shen family to try to save the situation!
What a pity.
When Manager Wu took his youngest son over at night, the child had already stopped breathing.
The direct descendants of the Jiang family live in the capital, except for an unfavored concubine and a sickly illegitimate son who hides deep in the manor to recuperate and is rarely seen.
——
"There's duck soup simmering on the stove, and there's bean stewed noodles in the pot. If you're hungry, you can eat those first!"
There were so many mouths to feed that we only caught three ducks in total, and that was only because a high-ranking official came.
Fortunately, Meng Xu was well prepared and hurriedly called everyone to get food.
Wang Youcai went into the kitchen first.
Chen Yandong squeezed in the second one and did not forget to pull Wu Qing along.
Behind them was Hu Zi, who was becoming increasingly darker and stronger.
Perhaps it was because he went out with the adults to set up stalls all day, or perhaps it was because the pain of separation forced him to grow up, but the child who used to be naughty and mischievous gradually became more decent.
"Senior Sister, come here quickly! Line up in front of me!"
Shen Zhixia blushed and waved at Hu Zi very embarrassedly.
Then the children unanimously invited me to the front!
Shen Mingqiu: “…”
Why is he the only one who seems worthless?
As soon as everyone brought their bowls, the yard was instantly filled with people.
Chen Chunxing couldn't stand anymore.
In the past, she was the one who liked to squat under the eaves to eat. Now that the children have learned this habit, she feels a little ashamed that she is corrupting the flowers of the motherland.
She ran happily to talk to the cook.
"Brother Meng, are you adapting well to life here?"
The little girl had a tender face and red lips, and looked no different from the children in the village chasing chickens and dogs.
A few days ago, Meng Xu saw her secretly hitting the caracal's butt with a stone, causing the two cats to fight on the spot!
At this moment, I felt a little funny when I heard that pretentious tone.
"It's pretty good. I can eat well, sleep well, and learn a few Chinese characters in my free time. It's even better than what Madam Shen told me before!"
Just praise me, Meng Xu said, and two blushes appeared on his face.
Chen Chunxing couldn't help but wonder.
This man has been in the village for some time, and his craftsmanship has won unanimous recognition from everyone.
Plus he is diligent enough.
Not only did he take care of the cooking, he also helped with some miscellaneous affairs in the school whenever he was free.
Therefore, the Shen family accepted Meng Xu very quickly.
But there were still some things she couldn't figure out.
"Yangjiatun is a military settlement. With Brother Meng's abilities, it shouldn't be hard for him to find a job that pays the bills. How could he have been tricked into coming here by my grandma? I'm not being self-deprecating, but our village is the poorest in the surrounding area... Are your mother and father really that open-minded?"
Wang Youcai choked on the soup and secretly glared at the little girl.
Just say it, why lie with your eyes? Which village would be willing to eat three ducks at once!
Meng Xu also glanced at Chen Chunxing, wanting to say something but stopping himself, his yellow fur almost swelling into a red lantern.
Hesitated for a long time.
He hesitated and said, "I don't have anyone else in my family, so it doesn't matter where I make a living. Old Madam Shen said... the people here are good... everything is good... it's worth coming here."
It turns out that he is the only child!
No wonder, he couldn't even be conscripted into the army.
But Chen Chunxing just felt uncomfortable all over.
Heart said.
Why does this person blush so easily? It's like he's possessed by Guan Yu...
Muttering to himself.
A head suddenly popped up next to me.
"I seem to smell the breath of spring!" Lin Bobo's eyes lit up as he looked up and down at Meng Xu who was busy working, and he became more and more satisfied.
"..." Chen Chunxing pulled her away and looked for a mouse hole. "No, where did you come from?"
I didn’t see it when I was having dinner!
"Don't worry about me. This guy is definitely single. Let's find him. Hehehehe... Can you guess why?"
Chen Chunxing stuffed a piece of spring roll wrapper into Lin Popo's mouth.
"It certainly wasn't for me, but you might be!"
Limpopo chew chew.
No meat to eat.
She gave Chen Chunxing a charming look.
"I don't mind a love affair that transcends life and death, but I'm afraid my sister won't agree!"
Chen Chunxing: “…”
She really couldn't agree to that.
How aggrieved must Captain Tian be? Everything is based on first come, first served... Pah.
That's getting off topic.
"Instead of wasting time on matchmaking, can't we do something more practical?"
"Marriage is such a big deal, how can it not be done properly?" Lin Popo muttered, inserting a hairpin into Chen Chunxing's hair. "Well, my sister is naturally beautiful, it's time for her to dress up nicely."
then.
The second one, the third one... five of them were inserted in one go.
Until Chen Chunxing's head was completely gone.
"Stop, stop, stop! Are you arranging flowers here?"
Chen Chunxing took one off his head and looked at it carefully.
Although they are made of cheap materials, the styles are extremely novel and the colors are bright.
The kind that is very eye-catching.
It might be okay in Beijing, but it should sell well in a small southern city.
At least, she had never seen these hairpins in Lin'an City.
"Is my sister's cooking skill okay?" Lin Popo proudly put his hands on his hips.
"Alright, alright, alright! That's perfect! I'll do more some other day..."
Chen Chunxing has always been generous in flattering those who come to make contributions, but he would contradict himself halfway through his words.
"No, let's just make a few sets of Hanfu. No matter how novel the hairpins are, they can't be sold at a high price if the materials are poor. But clothes are different. If they have better materials, the village can still afford them."
Lin Popo glanced at her with disdain, twisted his waist, and tried to grab the few ducks.
"Only children make choices. You can have both!"
“…”
Chen Chunxing curled his lips, "Don't let this get out, or Xiao Xue will think I'm looking at the basin while eating from the pot!"
——
The day after Yang Yucheng arrived, Maoping drove his horse into the village.
At that time.
Chen Chunxing is discussing with the underworld team which street snacks are most popular.
"Qiaotou spareribs, that thing, once it's put into the pot, the whole street is filled with fragrance!"
"No spare ribs...if there's no spare ribs, don't we still have chicken? Who here hasn't had fried chicken? Once the pigs in our village are slaughtered, we'll have spare ribs!"
Old Song snorted coldly at Lin Popo's proposal.
It's not directed at her, but this guy has never eaten it.
Well, if you die too early, you will easily be annoyed by your long-lived brothers.
When Wang Youcai was in the underworld, he often used delicacies from later generations to annoy him!
"Let me suggest something. Braised food, whether it's braised meat, braised offal, braised large intestine, braised chicken... anything can be braised! It sounds a bit cliché, but as long as it tastes good, there's no need to worry about losing business."
Chen Chunxing licked his lips, missing the sweet and spicy duck.
"Didn't our village sell hot pot dishes before? If we add some tripe and mutton, we can have Bobo chicken, maocai, spicy hot pot... we'll have it all."
It was rare for Niu Chunhua to refute Wang Youcai.
"I'm old, don't lie to me! Do the ones you mentioned seem to be the same?"
“Hmm…”
Fortunately, there were many people and many ideas, and after a short while, they decided on several foods suitable for sale.
It happened that someone knocked on the door at this time. There were no children in the yard, and Chen Chunxing was the youngest, so he had to open the door by himself.
When I opened it, I saw it was Mao Ping.
She closed the door and said, "You're sweating all over. Did something happen? Let's talk outside."
Mao Ping, who only wanted to get some water to drink, said: "..."
