"Laosan, what did you see and hear when you went to the street today?" Old Man Gao asked Laosan loudly.

Gao Laosan went to get medicine for Gao Laoer in the morning. He heard that Xie's mother and son went to sell braised meat, so he paid special attention to them. But he came to nothing because Xie was no longer in the market.

I heard it was sold out very early.

Gao Laosan took the rare opportunity to be lazy, so he wandered around the town, ate two big meat buns at noon, and then leisurely returned home.

"Dad, they sold out their braised meat a long time ago. I heard that their braised meat is very popular. That's right, didn't we smell such a strong fragrance yesterday?

Many people in our village bought braised meat.”

Old Gao frowned: "How much?"

"What?"

Old Gao asked unhappily, "How much do they sell it for?"

"Twelve cents a bowl."

Gao Laosan found out all this.

“More expensive than in the village?”

"Yes."

Old Man Gao narrowed his eyes and looked at Old Lady Gao next to him, "Tomorrow, ask the second and third sons' wives to sell vegetables. Tell them to tell people that they sell them for ten cents a bowl in the village."

When Mrs. Gao heard this, she understood.

"Okay! I'll arrange it."

Xie Xianglan must die!

If you don't die now, you will die slowly!

Old Mrs. Gao couldn't understand why Xie Xianglan suddenly knew how to make braised pork. From now on, her cooking skills will be just average.

Gao Laosan looked at the gloomy faces of his parents and thought that he should say more, so as to show that he was not idle in the town.

"Mom and Dad, Xie Xianglan also made meat pies to sell. I heard they were three cents each. I heard the pies were delicious and had a lot of braised meat in them."

Hearing this, Old Lady Gao gritted her teeth in anger and slammed the table.

"Xie Xianglan, great! When I asked her to cook something at home, it tasted like pig food. Now that she has been given a share of food here, she can cook anything delicious.

I think she did it on purpose.

She just wanted to divide the family and deliberately didn't make delicious food for us two old people.

He is truly heartless.

This woman deserves it!"

She deserves to be unwanted! She deserves to be blessed but she can't enjoy it!

Old Mrs. Gao added viciously in her heart.

Old Gao's face was not looking good either. He also felt that Xie Xianglan was too bad and unfilial, so he encouraged Gao Miao to break off relations with their Gao family. He didn't know if breaking off relations here would cause trouble there?

…

Xie and Gao Miao started to prepare the braised dishes in the evening. Gao Miao lit the fire while Xie kneaded the dough.

There wasn't much flour at home.

If the dough is kneaded, there will be even less.

Mrs. Xie reminded, "Xiao Miao, we have to buy flour tomorrow, and we are out of marinade ingredients. Let's go buy them together after we sell everything tomorrow."

Gao Miao nodded, "Okay!"

Mrs. Xie was also worried about whether she could buy pig heads and offal tomorrow.

"Xiao Miao, if the pork stall owners knew that our braised pork was selling well, would they be unwilling to sell us pig heads and offal at today's price?

If others see that this meat is selling well, will they rush to buy it?

Then we will have nothing to sell the day after tomorrow."

After Xie finished speaking, she shook her head again.

"Forget it, I'll just talk about this."

She was really confused and treated Gao Miao as an adult.

Discuss everything with Gao Miao.

"Mom, don't worry! There is always a way out. Aren't we heading in a good direction now? We have Jiaojiao, and everything will be fine."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Speaking of Jiaojiao, Xie's eyes lit up and the corners of her mouth couldn't close.

She kneaded the dough, covered it with a cloth and waited for it to rise.

"Xiao Miao, you light the fire here. I'm going to go check on Jiaojiao and help her pee."

"Oh well."

When the braised meat is ready, collect the brine and put it in a bucket.

Gao Miao remembered Gao Zhi's words firmly. He decided that the meat did not need to be overcooked, and could be soaked in hot brine. During the cooling process of the brine, the meat could be more tender and cooked to the right degree, and the braised meat could have better flavor.

Put it inside the house, it will be safer that way.

Xie also brought the bowl for kneading dough back into the house.

It was already very late when I finished all this.

Mother and son went back to their respective houses to rest.

Gao Miao took something out of the earthenware jar under the bed, sat on the table and drew a talisman.

It was late at night and Xie fell asleep.

Gao Miao went out quietly.

In the darkness, Gao Zhi's eyes rolled around.

She recognized the footsteps.

That was Gao Miao's voice.

Squeak, squeak, squeak…

There is also the sound of a little mouse.

Gao Zhi blinked, and the little mouse followed him.

this?

Did the little mouse come here with her or with Gao Miao?

Gao Zhi suddenly found that Gao Miao was a little mysterious.

The little wolf cub hid very deeply.

At such a young age, he seems to know everything.

This is not normal.

Gao Zhi thought about her own origins and wondered if Gao Miao was the same as her?

Gao Miao walked all the way to the vicinity of Lao Gao's house. He found the direction accurately, squatted down, took out the talisman, silently recited a few words towards the west, and then burned the talisman.

A piece of paper was engulfed in flames in an instant.

It lights up in an instant and turns to ashes in an instant.

Gao Miao buried the ashes under a tree, stood up and stared at the old Gao family's home in the night. After a long time, he went home.

The mouse continued to follow.

Gao Zhi listened to Gao Miao tiptoeing back to the room to rest.

【Finally back, I don’t know what to do? 】

"!!!" Gao Miao paused as he closed the door, concentrating on listening to the noise in the next room. He seemed to have heard Jiaojiao's voice just now. After listening for a while, there was no more sound.

Only then did Gao Miao go to bed.

I put on my clothes, lay down on the bed, touched the pillow and fell asleep.

He did something against the will of heaven again. After he stood up and burned the talisman, it took him a long time to have the strength to walk.

Otherwise, he wouldn't stand there in the night breeze.

The next morning, just after dawn, Xie's mother and two of her children arrived at the street outside the town's vegetable market.

There were already quite a few people waiting at the place where they set up their stall yesterday.

"Here they come, here they come!"

The butcher squeezed out of the crowd, rushed to Gao Miao, and immediately bowed to express his gratitude.

"My dear, you are finally here."

Xie was confused.

What does "little benefactor" mean?

Is the owner of this pork stall crazy? Yesterday he asked her strangely whether Gao Miao had a problem with her brain, and now he calls Gao Miao a little benefactor?

How weird!

Gao Miao asked: "Boss, your wife slipped and fell yesterday at noon and gave birth prematurely. Fortunately, you were at home, so they are safe, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The boss nodded continuously, "Thank you for your advice, my dear. Otherwise, yesterday's incident would have been a big deal."

He had made an appointment with a few other buddies to go to the casino in town to play a few games.

However, after hearing what Gao Miao said, he finally felt uneasy about his wife, so he did not go with the others, but went home. When he got home, his wife was cooking in the kitchen, and he went back to sleep because he was tired.

Just as he was dozing off, he heard his wife's voice coming from the kitchen.

He shuddered suddenly, jumped out of bed and ran to the kitchen.

At that time, his wife was lying on the ground and her skirt was soaked.

He was so scared that he immediately asked for help from a midwife and a doctor.

His son wasn't born until last night.

The doctor and the midwife were both very busy.

Afterwards, they were both terrified and said that it was fortunate that someone was at home, otherwise there would have been two deaths.

The boss thought of Gao Miao and felt very fortunate.

He had just boiled the red eggs when another piece of news scared him half to death!
