Chapter 14: Visitors on a Rainy Night



After the grab, Chen Xuanxuan returned to the original page and found that the pictures of the three products had all changed from color to black and white. There were also a few words displayed on it, "Cleared".

Knowing that time was not waiting for anyone and this lucky grab page might disappear at any time, Chen Xuanxuan quickly settled the bill.

After getting a bag of yogurt cereal and a small bag of dog skin plaster, Chen Xuanxuan felt indescribably happy.

Great!

My food for tomorrow is settled...

A pound of yogurt cereal, plus a pound of soybeans, plus half a pot of water, should be able to cook a whole pot of thick porridge.

The Gu family now has only one pot.

It is an ancestral pottery pot that has been passed down for three hundred years.

This pot is very large and barrel-shaped. The diameter is half a meter and the depth is more than twenty centimeters. It can hold at least 5 liters of water.

Every time Chen Xuanxuan cooks, as long as she fills it up, the ten people in the family can all have half a bowl of porridge.

...

The Gu family had actually eaten a meal this morning. At noon, Chen Xuanxuan cooked another meal for them.

At night, Chen Xuanxuan was so hungry that she hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, and suddenly made a decision.

Anyway, it’s the same whether you eat it early or late.

You might as well eat it now.

To be honest, Chen Xuanxuan, who was so hungry, really thought that cereal was so fragrant.

There are walnuts, milk cubes, kiwi slices, corn flakes, banana slices, dried red dates, raisins, sugar... in it. It is rich in nutrition and tastes great.

It tastes great even when eaten dry.

Chen Xuanxuan put her own soaked soybeans in the pot. After the soybeans were cooked to pieces, she poured the whole bag of yogurt cereal into the pot and stewed it all.

As soon as the yogurt cereal entered the pot, everyone in the room smelled the rich milky aroma.

"Wife, what are you stewing? Why is it so fragrant?"

Gu Yanzhang always felt that something was wrong with his wife in recent days.

Especially the rice she stewed, which was so fragrant.

Every time after he finished eating, he felt particularly dissatisfied. After finishing the last meal, he would think about the next one. After eating today's meal, he would think about tomorrow's.

Sometimes he felt particularly ashamed.

Now he could neither farm nor earn money for his family. It was raining outside, so they could only stay at home every day and eat the food that his wife brought back from her parents' home.

Just when he was thinking about what they would do if their family had eaten up all the stored food, they suddenly heard someone knocking on the door outside.

It was already dark outside.

Moreover, it was still raining outside.

In such heavy rain and such a dark sky, someone came to knock on the door...

Chen Xuanxuan, Gu Yanzhang, and other people in the family all thought of some bad things at the same time.

Gu Yanzhang clenched his fists and asked nervously, "Who is outside?"

The person knocking on the door was silent for a moment, then trembling, he replied.

"Third sister, it's me! I'm your elder brother!"

Hearing that the person outside was her elder brother, Chen Xuanxuan immediately gave Gu Yanzhang a wink.

"It's my brother! Go open the door!"

Gu Yanzhang heard it and walked over to open the door.

As soon as he opened the door, the cold wind outside blew in.

"Brother-in-law, hurry up. It's cold outside, come in and warm yourself by the fire..."

Chen Daming heard it and responded.

After carefully carrying the bag covered with oilcloth in, he took off his raincoat and the outermost clothes and started to warm himself by the fire.

Seeing that his lips had turned purple, as if they had been exposed to the wind and rain for a long time, Chen Xuanxuan quickly used a clean wooden bowl to scoop him a bowl of thick porridge.

Chen Daming actually knew that his third sister was not having a good life now. She had to go without food from time to time.

But even so, after he, the eldest brother, came, she was still so generous.

He was moved and began to taste the thick porridge carefully.

The porridge tasted very good and was cooked perfectly. After taking a mouthful, he felt that his whole body was warm.

Chen Xuanxuan saw that he was very satisfied with the meal and squinted his eyes from time to time to taste it.

She quickly made a big bowl for herself. Then, she shared the rest with the rest of the family.

"Eat..."

After Chen Xuanxuan drank a bowl of porridge, she felt that her stomach was finally full...

"Brother, why did you come out on this rainy day?"

"Are you still going to do business at this time?"

Chen Daming reluctantly put down the bowl and said slowly, "Third sister, don't I want to sell the rice?"

"I was lucky today. I sold the rice to the patriarch of your Gujiagang clan. His daughter-in-law just gave birth yesterday and has not been producing milk. Eating the rice was just enough. However, his family didn't give me money, but gave me 20 eggs and two pickled cabbages. I thought it was a good deal, so I agreed."

After saying this, Chen Daming also took out a pickled cabbage and six eggs from his basket. He put them in the bowl he had just eaten from and put it on the stove in front of Chen Xuanxuan.

"Third sister, this egg is a very good thing. You can make a pot of egg custard and stir-fry some pickled cabbage, and it will taste especially delicious."

After saying this, Chen Daming, who was already hot all over, wanted to put on his raincoat again and prepare to carry the goods back.

However, Chen Xuanxuan stopped him in time.

"Brother, don't leave in a hurry. I still have something to discuss with you."

Hearing that she had something to tell him, Chen Daming hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Chen Xuanxuan threw the pickled cabbage to Gu Yanzhang and asked him to help wash it, and then she asked Chen Daming to follow her into the main room.

"Brother, I have some good stuff here. Can you help me see if they can be sold..."

Hearing this, Chen Daming immediately became interested.

He thought, does his third sister still have some pearl rice?

Pearl rice is good, but it is too little.

If he had a pound or two of it, he could go to the restaurant in the county and sell it at a high price of several dozen coins per pound.

However, if he sells it to the family of the Gujiagang clan leader, he will not lose out...

Just when Chen Daming was daydreaming, Chen Xuanxuan took out the dog-skin plaster she had hidden in advance, gently removed the transparent film, took out six pieces, and handed them to Chen Daming.

"Brother, this is a tiger skin plaster for treating rheumatism, bone pain, sprains, and various joint inflammations! Take a close look and smell it. This thing is very effective. If you sell it, you will definitely get a high price!"
