Chen Tan opened the door, walked up to the two of them with a smile, and looked at He Weihua, "Brother He, this dress is so beautiful, you must thank my sister-in-law for me."
He Weihua smiled and said, "You're welcome. Don't call her sister-in-law. Call her Sister Zhiyan. Zhi means knowing, and Yan means beautiful."
"Yeah, okay."
Chen Tan thought that Qin Qiuniang had just sent her away, and she must have something to say to He Weihua, so she looked at Qin Qiuniang.
"Grandma, please accompany Big Brother He into the house to warm up. I'll go make him some dumplings."
"Thank you for your hard work." Qin Qiuniang was very pleased to see her sensible appearance.
Chen Tan ran back to the house, took off his sweater, put on his coat, and went to the kitchen to cook.
Qin Qiuniang and He Weihua entered Qin Li's room together.
In order not to disturb them, Chen Tan was busy in the kitchen for more than an hour, cooking white rice, making pork soup, steaming ham, and stir-frying garlic sprouts, bacon and pickled cabbage.
The food was brought to Qin Li's room. He Weihua ate while praising it, saying that his wife must like agarwood.
This also made Chen Tan more curious about Lu Zhiyan, but unfortunately the book did not provide much information about their background.
It was a boring book for her to read, and she didn't read it very carefully. She only remembered a few major events in it.
After dinner, Song Che and He Weihua left together.
Wei Xiao took Chen Tan to make tea bran soap in the backyard.
"Tan Mei'er, this stuff sells very well. People buy it the day before and come back the next day. Let's make more this time and sell it after the New Year to make a good start."
Chen Tan stirred the medicine in the pot with a gloomy look on his face.
She wanted to earn some money to buy books for the college entrance examination and for future living expenses, but she definitely didn't want to make money in such a big way.
After all, if something goes wrong, the consequences will be serious.
"Actually, I don't want to make and sell tea bran soap anymore."
After she finished whispering, Wei Xiao couldn't help but get anxious, "Why? To compete with others for the soap..."
"Wei Xiao!"
A cold shout interrupted Wei Xiao, and Qin Li came in wearing a cotton coat.
He sat down at the stove and said, "Get to work, stop talking nonsense."
Wei Xiao glanced at Chen Tan and slapped himself quietly, "Hey, I won't talk nonsense anymore. I'll just get to work."
Chen Tan continued to stir the potion quietly, and even though he was reluctant, he still added spiritual spring water into it.
Wei Xiao kept silent for a moment, then started talking again. He approached Qin Li with a smirk on his face and asked, "Why didn't you scream when Mr. Xie was stitching you up last night?"
Scream louder, and your wife will feel more distressed.
Qin Li glared at him with disdain, "You think I should scream for help with that little injury?"
"Humph, you are a hero, okay? Don't you know that Tan Mei'er's eyes are crying..."
"Wei Xiao!"
Chen Tan also roared and his face turned red.
She wasn't crying; she was suffocated by the smoke.
Then he glanced at Qin Li and saw that his expression changed from shock to surprise, and a silly smile appeared on his face.
When he opened his mouth to say something, she stood up and left, "I'm going to see grandma."
"Haha, you're shy." Wei Xiao laughed as he chased after her.
Qin Li raised his leg and kicked him. "You know she's shy, but you still say that. Tell me in private next time, don't embarrass her in front of her."
"Yes, yes, I'll tell you in secret."
"Well, tell me, why is she crying?"
“She…”
Wei Xiao vividly described how Chen Tan wiped her tears last night.
Chen Tan, who was standing in the front yard, was so angry that he wanted to sew Wei Xiao's mouth shut with a needle.
She was afraid of the pain, not worried about him.
I shouldn’t have cried.
It was a long time before she went to the backyard, and Wei Xiao stopped teasing her.
However, the look in Qin Li's eyes when he looked at her was so hot that she could not ignore it.
Chen Tan lowered his head, not looking at anyone, and was busy until after ten o'clock, pouring the tea bran paste that had undergone a chemical reaction into the mold to set it in shape.
Wei Xiao and Qin Li covered all the tools with bundles of firewood and pine needles before going into the house to sleep.
The next day, at dawn, Wu Xia brought Meng Wenwu and five strong men to Qin's house.
Wei Xiao went home last night and didn't come this morning. Qin Li hid in the bedroom and didn't come out either.
Meng Wenwu and his men set up a large clay pot and a long wooden table outside the gate.
Several people worked together to tie up the fat pig in the backyard and move it to the table.
The one who slaughtered the pig was Meng Wenwu. With every cut of the knife, blood gushed out.
Wu Xia held the big bucket to catch the pig's blood, not letting a drop of it go to waste.
The water on the kang boiled, and six men worked hard to scrape the pig, which weighed more than 400 pounds, clean.
The pig was gutted and split in half, and the fat inside the stomach filled a whole basket.
The fat on the pig's back is more than a foot wide, and the shiny fat makes people drool.
Meng Wenwu and the others sighed repeatedly and asked Qin Qiuniang, "Aunt, what do your pigs eat every day? Why are they growing so well?"
"It's just the sweet potato roots and corn cob flour distributed by the team, and some vegetables."
Qin Qiuniang wasn't quite sure what the pigs ate to make them so fat.
"We raise them this way too, why don't they grow?"
A man who comes to help, his eyes full of curiosity.
Qin Qiuniang naturally couldn't answer.
Chen Tan playfully replied, "Uncle, try adding a little salt to the pig food every time. Don't add too much, just a little salty taste will be fine."
She wasn't kidding.
Salt can stimulate the secretion of saliva in pigs, promote the activity of digestive enzymes in the pigs' bodies, and thus enhance the pigs' desire to eat.
If pigs have a good appetite, they will grow well.
A few people were skeptical because no one had ever said that pigs need to eat salt.
Chen Tan didn't care whether they believed it or not, and helped them cut the large piece of meat into small pieces.
