Poor family mother and son

Chapter 422
A good meal was messed up by that white-haired monkey!
Sheep brain just took a bite, it's so fresh!

Jia Yanyao smacked her lips, thinking in her heart, the trip was not in vain, at least she knew that this kid was not afraid of the Secret Service, and that the water monkey was also with him.

Water monkeys are nothing, they are not afraid of secret investigators, but they are capable.

As for refined salt, this matter should not be rushed. If you can't ask today, you can't ask. At least you have apologized. If you didn't offend this kid, you must deal with him properly later.

What kind of ingredients are there in his pot, how can it be so delicious when the sheep's brain is boiled in it?

"Don't waste it!" Shui Maomao put the sheep's brain that Jia Yanyao had only eaten a small bite into her bowl, it was not too dirty at all, and poured a spoonful of bubbling hot pot soup on it, returning to the temperature, Then Xilihulu ate it into his own mouth.

Seeing how well he ate, Little Treasure reluctantly gave him the untouched portion in his own bowl, and couldn't help but glance at the sheep tied at the stern—there was still a sheep's brain.

The goat who was chewing the forage suddenly trembled, simply shook its hair, and continued to chew.

Shui Maomao confirmed from Xiaobao that Jia Yanyao came here with no malice, but after a simple apology, she was relieved, ate a round belly, and left with his gift in her arms.

The return journey was relatively calm, without any problems, except that green locusts flew to the boat from time to time, and the goats at the stern ate grass, and occasionally ate the locusts that got stuck inside.

Catching locusts has become an activity for Xiaobao besides reading.

Looking at the locusts jumping and flying on the boat from time to time, Xiaobao buckled them with his hands for a while, and beat them with a towel for a while. Eight out of ten times he never failed.

The locusts he caught were strung up with fine hemp ropes, and within an hour, he caught a whole plate of Gangjian.

The locusts on the rope will not die for a while, and the thin insect legs are still moving. One or two are fine, and it can be seen that the tip of the post and the plate are moving, which makes people feel a little numb.

"Xiaobao, let's play with something else, this thing looks... troublesome!" Zheng Xiaorou frowned with her nose tensed, with "I can't bear it" written all over her face.

"Or you can just throw it on the shore, and it would be nice if someone who raises chickens and ducks picks it up and feeds it back." Bai Jiaxing also persuaded, and his wife was frightened, and her face was wrinkled.

We are at the ferry again, we can disembark for a stroll, and we have to buy some vegetables to get on the boat.

Bai Jiaxing personally led the team, and Chu Yuan and Xiao Sining didn't stop Xiaobao, they went ashore together for a walk.

Gan Lai didn't dare to mention buying eggs anymore, but the eggs still had to be bought, so Gan Lai followed Zheng Xiaorou closely, and then turned his eyes to the egg stalls.

Xiaobao followed Baijiaxing and the others, but he was dishonest. No matter what everyone bought, he would catch locusts by the side.

It's also strange. In previous years, we could see locusts, but not so many. What happened this year?
"Look at this vegetable, it's very good, it's freshly picked in the garden this morning! Oh, don't dislike this hole, it's just bitten by locusts, and you can weigh it for others!" A woman said to Zheng Xiaorou's Picky to explain.

The young lady from the family of a third-rank official is now very proficient in buying vegetables in front of the vegetable stall, so I heard Zheng Xiaorou say: "Is there any better one? Has anyone been bitten by insects?"

The vegetable seller had a sad expression on her face: "My lord, it's not that I didn't choose something for you. Look, the locusts can't be chased away, they've all been bitten."

As she spoke, the woman waved her scarf, and the locusts on the vegetable flew up, and then immediately fell back on the vegetable leaves.

"Have you seen that? You can't drive it away! If you drive it away, it will flirt with you, and it will fall down as soon as it flies. Look at these few, they don't even bother to make sense!" Please explain.

"Oh, there is going to be a plague of locusts this year! There will be more locusts in the field!" The old man who sold chickens and eggs at the stall next to him said while sighing.

Seeing a child behind Zheng Xiaorou's group, he stretched out his hand left and right, once he stretched out his hand, he grabbed a locust, and when he caught it, he strung it on a hemp rope and hung it on his belt.

Two long strings of locusts had hung down from the child's belt, and it looked as if the belt hadn't been fastened.

"Hey, boy, can you give me your locust skewer? Look at the hem of your robe is black!" The old egg seller shouted at Xiaobao.

"No!" Xiao Bao said, "I won't give it to you to feed the chickens! You will sell them to me after you have gained weight after feeding the chickens!"

"Hahahaha!" Everyone laughed.

The old man was also happy: "This young man knows everything!"

Everyone is happy, but there are also some who are not happy, and many people who set up stalls next to them are not happy.

They said sadly: "You are all nobles, so don't be too picky and picky. It's not easy for us. The fields are dry and the seedlings are not bearing ears. It seems that this year will be for nothing. Take some vegetables and sell them. At least I can earn a few coppers in exchange for some rice.”

Some also said: "Even if you set up a stall for a whole day, you can't exchange two catties of rice. The price of rice has skyrocketed! How can people live!"

Then there was a series of sighs, which made Xiaobao and his party feel that their bargaining just now was very sinful.

I bought some vegetables, meat and eggs and boarded the boat. Everyone was not in the mood to talk and laugh.

There are a lot of locusts this year, like flies in the latrine, flying right in front of people, sometimes hitting their faces.

When Xiaobao returned to the boat, he was still catching locusts, but now he had to put them in big pots, two big pots.

"I don't know how our land is doing." Bai Jiaxing was a little worried.

Chu Qing has more than 1000 mu of land near Wukeshu Village, 1000 villages of land in Xinlunzhou, and more than [-] mu of cotton fields in the south. He is also a big landlord. If there is also a locust plague, he may not be able to How much harvest.

All the boys of the Chu family bought land to some extent. This year is really not a good year.

Chu Qing didn't send them a letter, and she didn't know what was going on at home.

Thinking that there may be a locust plague at home, everyone is not friendly at all when they see Xiaobao catching locusts: "Okay, okay! Xiaobao, calm down for a while!"

Xiaobao looked at them, pursed his mouth, and felt aggrieved: "Seeing that you are not in a good mood, I am making something delicious for you."

"Xiaobao, do you deserve a beating! Do you want to feed us the chicken?" Chu Yuan was furious, and jumped up to catch Xiaobao.

Seeing that Chu Yuan moved, Xiao Sining couldn't sit still, the atmosphere was too dull, it was better to make a fuss.

Picking up a large pot of locusts on the little BMW, he said: "When you guys don't like it, then fight me!"

It's "fight me", not "beat me", hehe, Xiaobao can't be beaten casually now, it's easy to fight Chu Yuan and the others for a hundred or eighty moves.
