Chapter 90: Little Puppy
Mr. Tang San first sent Tang Dafu, Li Taohua and others home, and then went back to pick up the people from the village.
When he came back, the villagers had been waiting for a while.
Mr. Tang Sanye is about to become the exclusive coachman of Tang Dafu's family, and the villagers can't help but complain when they see him.
Master Tang San knew that it was a little late today, so he didn't say anything after listening to their complaints.
"There's a smell in the oxcart." Wang said, covering her nose, "Uncle San, can't you take us back first? If you take Li Taohua's family with you, the smell in the car won't go away."
Mr. Tang San's face, which was originally quite friendly, darkened. "On weekdays, we haul chicken and duck shit for you. Even though the truck is full of shit, you never complain about the smell. They use buckets to store shit, and cover it tightly. How come there is a smell? Okay, if you don't like the smell, I'll return your money and you can go back."
"Uncle San, it's no fun for you to be like this. I just said one thing, and you're like a cat whose tail is stepped on. I didn't say anything about you. You're protecting their family like this, but what benefits do they give you?"
"Oh, we are from the same village, so don't argue over such a small matter." Zhang tried to smooth things over. "It's getting late, and we have to go home for lunch. Let's go quickly, don't delay."
Master Tang San said coldly, "I'm not in a hurry. If you have anything to say, finish it first. If you don't want to ride, get off. I'm old, and I don't have to pull this ox cart."
When the villagers heard this, they immediately said something nice: "If you don't pull the ox cart, won't our village have to go to the next village to take the bus? Our village can't live without you, Third Master. You must not give up."
"That's right. Ming Kuiniang is the type of person who says what she means, so you must not take it personally with her. Ming Kuiniang, say a few words." The others glared at Wang.
Wang was unwilling to accept this. Before Mr. Tang San came, many people complained about him, but now, she was the only bad person and everyone else was a good person.
"I'm sorry, Third Uncle, it's my fault." Wang said stubbornly, "I was just too impatient and didn't know how to control my words. Please don't hold it against me."
After hearing this, Master Tang San calmed down a bit, got on the ox cart and said, "Have a seat, we'll set off right away."
On the other side, Qin Huiyin squatted in the yard, looking at the two little puppies in front of her.
Tang Yi smiled and did the same thing as her. He touched the puppy's fur in surprise and said, "Second sister, didn't you say to pick a fierce one to guard the house? What use can such a tiny thing have?"
Qin Huiyin pointed to the big dog next to her and said, "Use it now, and use them later."
Today they went to a dog dealer to buy a dog. They originally wanted to buy a big dog, but the dog dealer said that the two puppies had just lost their mother and they didn’t know if they could survive. They learned that the big dog they chose was the brother of the two puppies, so they asked the dog dealer to give them a discount and took all the brothers away.
Tang Luwu came out with a bamboo bucket and said, "Tang Sanmei's family has a ewe that just gave birth to a lamb, so there should be goat milk. Mother told me to buy a bowl of goat milk to feed the puppy."
Seeing that the children got along well, Li Taohua became more and more kind to them. Although she could not love them as much as Qin Huiyin, she could still be a loving stepmother.
"I'll go with you." Tang Yi stood up with a smile.
"No need, I'll go by myself!" Tang Luwu went out with the bamboo bucket.
The puppies were soft and cute, and they were lovable. But they were too small, and people were worried about whether they could be raised. Tang Yixiao and Qin Huiyin stared at them for a while until Tang Luwu came back with a bamboo bucket of milk.
The three of them squatted beside the puppies, watching their every move.
“Why don’t they drink?”
"You're so young, can't you drink milk?"
Qin Huiyin slapped her forehead with a "pop" sound, which scared the two people next to her.
"They are too small to drink milk by themselves, so we have to feed them." Qin Huiyin said, "We use a small wooden spoon to feed them."
Puppies are too small. When feeding them milk with a small wooden spoon, be careful not to feed them too much at one time, and don't feed them too fast. It will be troublesome if they choke on the milk accidentally. The most important thing is to dilute the milk, or goat's milk, before feeding. After feeding a small amount, observe their reaction. If they don't show any discomfort, then slowly increase the amount.
Qin Huiyin was talking about the precautions, and Tang Yixiao and Tang Luwu were stunned. They didn't expect that feeding a puppy would be such a complicated matter.
However, even so, they were not impatient. The brother and sister looked at the little puppy with a look of deep pity, just like they were looking at themselves who had lost their biological mother when they were young.
Li Taohua stood at the door, watching three little figures squatting in front of the puppy. Another big dog had just joined the family and was running around happily. However, it was obvious that it had adapted quickly.
The big dog is very big, obviously a hunting dog, and it is quite intimidating when it barks. However, the dog dealer said that this kind of hunting dog is very smart and generally does not bark randomly, because barking randomly when the owner is hunting will disturb the prey. This kind of prey will only attack when the owner needs it, and it is usually honest and looks no different from an ordinary domestic dog.
The big dog has black fur, while the two puppies next to it are spotted, and you can't really tell they are from the same mother. However, the big dog often hangs around the puppies, as if checking to see if the new owner will bully his younger brother.
Tang Dafu came back from outside and saw the three children still guarding the puppy. He smiled helplessly and said, "Let's prepare the goods for tomorrow and let them relax for a while."
"It's rare to see them acting so childishly. Especially Yinyin, who usually acts like a little adult, worrying about everything at home and outside. Today I realized she is still a child."
"Yin girl is a few months younger than Luwu!"
"You know that too?" Li Taohua said unhappily, "Who are you most worried about right now?"
"It's Yinyin. This girl has been a capable person since she was young." Tang Dafu said, "Wife, I will do today's work and will definitely not let Yinyin worry about it."
Qin Huiyin and Tang Luwu, brother and sister, took great pains to feed the two puppies. After feeding them, they prepared a doghouse for them.
There is not enough time today, they still have to prepare ingredients for tomorrow, so they can only wait until they finish their business tomorrow and come back to make a better doghouse.
"Mom, I'm here." Qin Huiyin entered the kitchen.
"Your Uncle Tang and I are almost done with our work, so you guys should just have some fun." Li Taohua said.
Qin Huiyin saw that the kebabs were ready and the ingredients were skewered on bamboo sticks. Tang Dafu sat beside her and skewered the food quickly and beautifully.
As for the minced meat for Roujiamo, Li Taohua is adjusting the flavor.
The flour needed to make steamed buns has been kneaded. Making steamed buns is a technical job. Currently, only Qin Huiyin and Tang Luwu are good at it. Li Taohua did not act on her own.
Another thing is to replace the jelly with fried noodles, and Qin Huiyin has already prepared pea flour. The braised meat is still the same, but the taste has been adjusted again, using the various spices that Qin Huiyin bought at a high price last time, which is absolutely a must.
Qin Huiyin discovered that the Tang family had become so well-organized without her noticing that even if she was away temporarily one day, the Tang family would be able to hold on for the time being.
