Chapter 59: Competition 2
◎The dog is showing its ability to take advantage of others◎
As soon as Yan Yue returned to the yard, she was grabbed by Qi Zhaoyang.
"Where did you provoke this monster?"
Yan Yue was unhappy when he heard it, "How did I provoke him? Well, I did provoke him. After all, I have a rare physique and extraordinary talent. Only I can inherit his legacy, so I traveled thousands of miles to find him here..."
Qi Zhaoyang: "What's the mess?"
Yan Yue had no choice but to explain: "Do you remember the evil aura on me when we first met?"
Qi Zhaoyang thought for a moment and suddenly realized: "You mean, the evil spirit is..."
Yan Yue smiled and said, "It's Bai Chen! I misunderstood. I thought he fed me well because he wanted to fatten me up. I didn't expect he just wanted to take me in as his apprentice!"
Her smiling eyes sparkled with little stars, and she proudly praised: "He is very powerful! Linjiang City's best long whip martial artist, even if you attack with all your strength, you can't touch the corner of his clothes! He is barely qualified to teach me, and when I learn the skills well, no one will dare to cause trouble to the teahouse anymore!"
Bai Chen returned to the door and heard Yan Yue praising him. He proudly pushed the door open.
“Yueyue…”
"noob!"
Yan Yue noticed Xiaobai coming in from the corner of her eye. She ignored Qi Zhaoyang's unfinished words and went over to grab Xiaobai into her arms, poking its little head and scolding it: "You still remember to come back? Why are you so wild? You should live outside! Come, say hello to your brother!"
Yan Yue picked up one of Xiao Bai's front paws, waved it at Qi Zhaoyang and said, "This is Brother Qi, a guest of our family. Don't call Brother Qi when you see him next time!"
Qi Zhaoyang wanted to continue talking about Bai Chen, but his eyes fell on Xiao Bai, and he couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Is it your new dog? Are you sure it's not a wolf?"
When Bai Chen was surrounded by three people, two ghosts, a demon and a dog, he felt very disappointed: Exposed?
Chu Zhi: "Is this what a wolf looks like?"
Nan Qing: "At first glance I thought it looked like a wolf, but its hair was shaved off at that time, so I was not sure."
Mr. Jiang: "I just think Xiaobai's mouth is a little pointy, unlike Dahei's when he was a child, whose mouth was short and round."
Zhou Lin: "No wonder he's so wild and never comes home all day!"
Bai Chen was thinking that it would be better to throw him out, so that he wouldn't have to work so hard to transform into a wolf cub to coax Yan Yue anymore.
Unexpectedly, Yan Yue was filled with joy. She pinched his two front legs with both hands, lifted him up high and said, "Wow! It turns out that Xiaobai is a wolf! Isn't it so cool? I actually have a wolf?"
Seeing that she was not afraid at all, but looked excited, Qi Zhaoyang reminded her: "Yueyue, you can't tame a wolf cub!"
Zhou Lin also said: "This thing is wild and hard to tame, so it's not worth raising! If you like white puppies, we can go find one later!"
Yan Yue, like a mother hen protecting her cubs, hugged Xiaobai in her arms and retorted: "I won't! Xiaobai is not only smart but also humane. How can an ordinary puppy replace him? I want Xiaobai!"
Qi Zhaoyang said helplessly: "Yueyue, don't be willful."
"None of your business!"
Yan Yue rolled her eyes, picked up Xiaobai and turned back to the house. Xiaobai sat in Yan Yue's arms, holding his head high with a smug look, showing the attitude of a bully.
Before going to bed, Qi Zhaoyang came and knocked on Yan Yue's door.
At that time, Yan Yue was playing tug-of-war with Xiaobai using a knot. It has been such a long time since the toy was bought and Xiaobai rarely cooperated. Yan Yue was reluctant to miss it, so she just said "I fell asleep!" and ignored him.
Seeing that Yan Yue didn't allow anyone to disturb her, Xiaobai played more cooperatively and even brought back a few sandbags she threw!
"Amazing! I knew you were smart, agile, and smart, Xiaobai. Nothing can stop you!"
After playing with all kinds of toys, Yan Yue finally had a great time and even fell asleep with a smile on her face.
It’s a pity that the next morning, my arms were still empty.
She turned over and wanted to continue sleeping, but Chu Zhibangbang banged on the door, "Boss, are you awake yet? We are going to make sausages and bacon today!"
Yan Yue yawned and walked out of the house. Bai Chen just pushed open the door and came in, holding a steaming breakfast in his arms.
"My dear disciple, come and have breakfast."
On the dining table, a large pot of mutton offal soup was emitting wisps of steam. The soup was boiled to a milky white color, dotted with a little red oil, which made people's appetite grow. The golden and crispy meat patty has a crispy crust with a slight peppery and spicy aroma. The gravy overflows as soon as you bite it, and the fragrance is so good that it can make your tongue knotted.
"Where did you buy this meat pie? It smells so good!" Yan Yue stuffed the last bite of the meat pie in her hand into her mouth and quickly grabbed another one.
Bai Chen pretended to be mysterious: "Secret!"
"mean!"
Qi Zhaoyang felt that the scene of the two people quarreling with each other was very irritating, and signaled Yan Yue, "It's cold, drink some soup to warm yourself up."
Seeing Yan Yue lowering her head to drink the soup, Chu Zhi chimed in, "Brother Qi bought the mutton offal early in the morning, washed it several times, and stewed it for more than an hour. There's no fishy smell at all, right?"
There was some pepper in the mutton soup. Yan Yue took two big gulps, and the air in her nose went straight to the top of her head. She couldn't help but sigh: "Meat pie with mutton soup is perfect! Eating such a good meal early in the morning will make you tired to death later!"
Qi Zhaoyang glanced at the small pot on the stove, then looked away. The small pot contained the pancakes he had fried, and he had originally intended to eat them with mutton soup, but he didn't mention it. He just smiled and added another spoonful of mutton soup for Yan Yue.
After eating and drinking, Yan Yue rolled up his sleeves and prepared to get to work.
Chu Zhi asked Yan Yue and Qi Zhaoyang to stay at home and chop the meat bought yesterday into stuffing for sausages; she asked Bai Chen to find some lychee wood for smoking meat, while she and Nan Qing went to buy some more meat.
Yan Yue was shocked: "Isn't this much meat enough?"
Bai Chen refused: "Why should I be alone?"
Chu Zhi explained: "This meat looks like a lot, but it actually shrinks by half after drying, so there is not much left! We need to prepare enough bacon and sausage for next year, and we need to buy more so that we can eat until next winter."
Nan Qing agreed, "Meat is consumed quickly at home, so we really need to prepare more."
Bai Chen said, "Then let Xiao Qi chop the meat at home, and Yue'er and I will go to look for lychee wood."
Qi Zhaoyang disagreed, and Bai Chen said, "Then Yan Yue and I will chop the meat at home, and Xiao Qi can go find the lychee wood by himself!"
The two of them couldn't reach an agreement, and finally they agreed that the three of them would chop the meat together at home, and then go together to look for litchi wood.
Yan Yue didn't know why they were so hostile to each other, but she knew that there were only two kitchen knives and two chopping boards in the house. This commotion saved her the trouble. The two of them each guarded a pile of meat and chopped it up slowly!
She lay on the couch, eating an apple, reading the basic moves and essentials of Emei Stab, listening to the sounds of chopping meat, feeling very happy.
Bai Chen and Qi Zhaoyang competed secretly, both wanting to chop more and faster than the other. It was not until Nan Qing and Chu Zhi came back that they were stunned to see two large basins filled with mountains of stuffing.
The two were so tired that they could barely lift their arms, but they were still stubborn, "What's that? We can chop them all up even if there are so many!"
Nan Qing said decisively: "That's great! You guys continue to chop these, Xiaozhi and I will go buy some more!"
The two men's faces turned blue and black, as if they had swallowed ten flies alive.
After chopping nearly 100 kilograms of minced meat, Qi Zhaoyang was speechless. Bai Chen didn't even have dinner and left in a hurry.
Yan Yue only felt that when she was holding Xiaobai to sleep at night, Xiaobai's front paws were shaking the whole time. She thought that he was cold, so she could only hold him tighter.
The next day, Yan Yue, Chu Zhi, and Nan Qing originally planned to make sausages at home, while Bai Chen and Qi Zhaoyang went to cut some lychee wood. Unexpectedly, Yan Yue's fingers looked slender, but she would tear the casing with her hands.
Chu Zhi was so angry that he chased him away: "You look so frail, how come you have such strong hands? You should go and collect firewood with them!"
Wild lychee trees are rare, and Bai Chen finally found one, and then he began to feel competitive. If Yan Yue hadn't stopped him, he would have cut down all the healthy lychee trees!
Qi Zhaoyang took a different approach and approached farmers in the mountains, and found out about an orchard that grew lychees. There were quite a few cut branches in the orchard, and the farmer generously let them move them as they pleased after paying them an ingot of silver.
Yan Yue tied the last bundle of firewood with a hemp rope. Qi Zhaoyang looked disdainful and gave Bai Chen a provocative smile.
When has Bai Chen ever suffered such humiliation? In addition, he had just been scolded by Yan Yue for destroying things, and he was very angry. He immediately made a hand gesture and quietly shot it towards Qi Zhaoyang.
A piece of wood on the ground moved in the wind and rolled silently towards Qi Zhaoyang's feet. Just as it was about to roll to Qi Zhaoyang's feet, Yan Yue picked up the bundle of firewood, and then - stepped on the stick.
Bai Chen covered his eyes guiltily as he heard Yan Yue's screams. Qi Zhaoyang cried out heart-wrenchingly, "Yueyue!" Only then did he suddenly realize that the orchard was on a hillside!
The demon's advantage was instantly revealed. Bai Chen leaped up like a falling rock, brushing past Qi Zhaoyang who was staggering after him, and grabbed Yan Yue who was rolling down.
Yan Yue's hands and feet went limp, and she hugged Bai Chen's waist tightly as if she had survived a disaster: "I'm so scared, so scared..."
Bai Chen touched his nose: "Where is it hurt?"
Yan Yue felt her body and it seemed that nothing was wrong, but she still said with a flat mouth: "My legs are weak..."
Bai Chen bent his waist and legs, kneeling on one knee, "Come up."
Yan Yue was afraid that he would go back on his word, so she climbed up quickly.
As Bai Chen stood up, Qi Zhaoyang caught up with him and pulled Yan Yue up and down to check: "How are you? Where does it hurt? Did you sprain your ankle? How could you be so careless..."
Yan Yue explained: "I'm fine, but my legs are a little weak."
Qi Zhaoyang frowned at Bai Chen and said, "You must be scared. Come down and move around. Calm yourself down. I'll check you out."
Bai Chen took a step back, looked at Qi Zhaoyang steadily and said, "Don't worry. My disciple will be taken care of by me as his master."
Yan Yue took the opportunity to hold Bai Chen's neck tightly: "Master! I feel dizzy and my legs are weak. I can't walk by myself!"
"Master will carry you home!" Bai Chen responded, and then gave Qi Zhaoyang a provocative smile.
Qi Zhaoyang's face was very ugly. "We are here to look for litchi wood. How are we going to get the wood if you carry her on your back?"
Bai Chen's face was full of contempt: "Isn't this simple?"
So, Bai Chen carried Yan Yue on his back, Qi Zhaoyang carried a bundle of firewood, and a mule carried two large bundles of firewood, and they returned home in a mighty procession.
When Chu Zhi heard that it cost one ingot of silver to hire a mule, he scolded them with a broken heart: "You guys really don't know how to live! One ingot of silver can buy several more pieces of meat, but you actually used it to hire a donkey to carry firewood?"
Yan Yue didn't care: "Our Master Bai has always been generous and treats money as dirt! You should get used to spending money like water in the future!"
Bai Chen touched his nose even more guiltily and glanced at the money box in Yan Yue's room.
She was careless in her actions and had never had the habit of keeping or calculating accounts. If it weren't for Nan Qing's meticulous accounting, she wouldn't even know the store's monthly profit.
so……
She can't notice that the money is missing, right?
