After going to town for several days in a row, Qiao Qiyue had gotten used to seeing her sisters! She was just too lazy to go there much anymore!
It’s boring to stay at home, so I locked the door and prepared to go into the mountains!
"Girl! Are you going into the mountains again?" Widow Chen stood at the door and looked at the little girl who seemed to be going into the mountains again, and asked with a smile!
"Aunt! Are you going?" Qiao Qiuyue turned around and asked!
"Can you take me with you?" Widow Chen asked, pointing at her nose!
Qiao Qiuyue rolled her eyes!
"Aunt! The back mountain isn't mine! How can I stop you from going?"
"Go, go, go! Wait for me!" It's not that Widow Chen doesn't dare to go up the mountain alone! I don't know if it's luck or what! Whenever the people of the Qiao family enter the mountain!
Every time I come back, my backpack is full! Others going into the mountains are lucky if they can find half a basket of food!
She wanted to go up the mountain with the Qiao family several times, but she was afraid of being rejected! So every time she could only watch with envy!
One big and one small, slowly climbing up the mountain!
"Aunt! Just say whatever you want to say!" Qiao Qiuyue noticed that Widow Chen had something to say several times, but for some reason she didn't say it!
She doesn't eat people!
"Hey, where are we going? We're deep into the mountains if we go in further!" Widow Chen's face was full of worry!
"It's almost there, just ahead!" Qiao Qiuyue responded!
Widow Chen could only suppress her worries! Since we've come all the way here, we can't go back empty-handed!
"Aunt, let's start digging!" When they arrived at the place, Qiao Qiyue put down the backpack and pointed to a patch of yam vines in front of her and said!
"What are you digging?" This time Widow Chen was really confused!
"Delicious! Want to dig some?" Qiao Qiyue has been eyeing this patch of yam for a long time! She doesn't know when it will be ripe, so she comes every few days! The leaves are old! It should be edible!
"Dig!" As soon as she heard that it was edible, Widow Chen's mind was full of digging!
"Auntie, don't dig it up! Follow my lead!" Qiao Qiuyue dug a few hoes and made a big hole!
After digging a few more times with the shovel, I could vaguely see some yams!
Widow Chen looked at the hoe in her hand. It turned out that the maid had asked her to carry the hoe not for self-defense...
Qiao Qiuyue gave up her position and gave the pit to Widow Chen!
"Aunt! This is for you! Try not to dig it up!"
"Okay!" Widow Chen jumped into the pit! She carefully pulled out a few roots! I really don't understand! How can I eat this! When she looked at the little girl, she didn't see anyone, only saw tree roots thrown to the ground one after another!
Then she stopped thinking! Since the little girl can eat, then she must be able to eat!
Although the little girl is a little aloof, I have never seen her lie!
My two sons are coming back soon! I don’t know how much weight I’ve lost!
Find as much food as you can! Don't let your two sons starve!
A cloud of dust rolled up!
As they dug, they buried the vines in the soil!
Maybe we can dig up another wave next year!
The sun is getting higher!
The big one and the small one also stopped, and while they were tired, they finished digging this area!
After resting for a while, the two began to pack up and go home!
Widow Chen tied him up again and again, but when she really started carrying him, he couldn't get up at all!
Suddenly, she felt a lightness on her back! Qiao Qiyue put down the two bundles of yams and grabbed Widow Chen!
"Aunt, let's go! I'll help you get it!"
Widow Chen looked a little embarrassed! Just when she was about to speak, Qiao Qiyue had already rushed down the mountain carrying two bundles of yams!
Widow Chen had no choice but to chase after him!
Even though she is a good worker, she can't dig as much as the little girl!
Back home!
Qiao Qiyue opened the door, put down the backpack, picked up two bundles of yams and went to Widow Chen's house!
"Aunt, light the fire!"
"Right away!" Widow Chen was worrying about what to eat!
Qiao Qiyue threw a few thicker ones into the fire first! Then she washed a few and put them into the pot to steam!
Widow Chen is responsible for watching!
A burst of fragrance hits your nose!
"Be careful of the heat, you can eat it after peeling the skin!" The method taught by Qiao Qiuyue is the simplest and most filling!
"Hmm..." Widow Chen tried to take a bite! Her eyes immediately lit up as she looked at the little girl!
Qiao Qiuyue ate two and left!
Widow Chen immediately put all the yams into the cellar in bundles, so she no longer had to worry about having nothing to eat in the winter!
He closed the cellar door and rushed into the house! He carried the dozen or so eggs in the house to the next door!
"Aunt, is there something wrong?" Qiao Qiuyue was the only one in the yard, and no one at home had returned yet!
"Yadan! I don't know how to thank you! You must accept these eggs!" Widow Chen came close to the little girl and said with a flattering look on her face!
"I don't want it! Take it back!" Qiao Qiyue wasn't worrying about anything. The sisters had received a lot of food from Widow Chen over the years! She remembered it all!
Besides, Widow Chen is a simple person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart!
Although many of my words in the past were full of thorns, it wasn't that person. Who really has nothing to do?
"Damn..."
"Aunt! You forgot, but I didn't. Just think about how much food we sisters have eaten from your house over the years! Eggs were not a small part of it!" Qiao Qiuyue said with a grin!
"But..." Widow Chen spoke honestly. She just felt sorry for the girls and helped them whenever she could, but she never thought of asking them to pay her back!
"Go back, go back!" Qiao Qiuyue waved her hand and said!
Seeing the little girl getting impatient, Widow Chen could only leave in disappointment. She felt regretful but relieved at the same time because she didn’t deliver the eggs.
Qiao Qiuyue put all the yams into the cellar. As soon as she climbed up, she saw Qiao Sanya coming back!
"Third sister! You're back!"
"Yadan, are you hungry? Third sister will go cook right away!" Qiao San Ya hid her thoughts and walked towards the kitchen!
"Third sister! Why haven't mother and the others come back?" Qiao Qiuyue grabbed her third sister and asked!
"Business is good! Mom and the others stayed!" Qiao Sanya said with a smile!
"Third sister! Are you in trouble?" No matter how she looked at it, Qiao Qiyue felt something was wrong!
Qiao Sanya was never very tight-lipped to begin with, and once she opened her little mouth she started talking!
After hearing what her third sister said, Qiao Qiyue smiled helplessly!
"Third sister! Don't worry! No one can steal our business! Besides, even you don't know what's in the ingredients packet, so no one else will know! Don't worry, it won't be long before they'll only lose money!"
It turns out that the Qiao family’s braised meat has caused a sensation in the town. The Qiao family always sells out eventually. They have a fixed quantity every day and leave as soon as they sell out!
As soon as the first one took the lead, several others followed suit!
Those who didn’t buy the braised meat went to buy some, and the bosses of those shops almost had their stalls overturned!
But there are always some stubborn people who run away after selling out. It’s hard to find those who have been cheated!
Then, when I went to the Qiao family to buy braised meat, I mentioned it! Of course, there were people who found fault with me, but Liu and Daya, Erya, and Sanya were not pushovers either!
It's just a quarrel! The mother and daughter took turns cursing each other!
I did manage to get rid of quite a few bad-intentioned people!
However, the reputation of Qiao's braised pork has been affected to a certain extent!
