Plane Mall: I became a group favorite by hoarding goods

Chapter 31 31. Rumors, definitely rumors!

Shen Mantun was a little surprised today.

He had only met Cheng Xi twice before, and the woman was always his mother-in-law who came out to socialize. The impression he had of this niece and daughter-in-law could only be said to be familiar.

However, the reminder at the gate of the city today made him notice that this was not an ordinary woman.

What woman would notice a change at the city gate?

Even he didn't notice!
Look, now that you say such non-credit words, anyone who listens to them will feel extremely comfortable.

Young and unassuming, low-key will do things.

Who said that Xingluo's daughter-in-law would draw out her sword if she disagreed with her, and look like a dominatrix?
Rumors, definitely rumors!

"No matter what, uncle still has to thank you today, let your aunt cook some meals and eat at my house someday!"

"it is good."

"Come back, if you need anything in the future, you can find me at home."

"Okay, I remember."

Cheng Xi left the village entrance under Li Zheng's kind and amiable gaze, always feeling that something was wrong.

Could it be that I am not low-key enough today?

No, few of the bear-wrapped men in the village would have recognized her, otherwise they would have been three feet away from her.

Do not understand, do not understand.

Seeing the familiar small courtyard getting closer and closer, Cheng Xi strode home.

After two steps, he suddenly stopped.

At this time, there was a person standing 50 meters away from her. It was Shen Xingluo who came down from Shennong Mountain.

"came back?"

"Yes, you have entered the mountain?"

Cheng Xi glanced at him again, and a slender figure was slowly approaching in the wind and snow. Even though he was wearing a thick padded jacket of the sister-in-law brand, he still couldn't hide his tall and straight figure, and there was an aura in his indifference that could not be ignored.

She shouldn't be able to see each other clearly at this distance, but she was extremely sure that those black pupils, as bright and dazzling as obsidian, revealed an impenetrable depth.

It's not like a scholar.

Rather, she looks like a veteran who has been up and down in the treacherous officialdom for many years.

Shen Xingluo stopped in front of her, and took the fifty catties of grain with his free left hand.

"Go try your luck and get some medicine."

"It seems that luck is not bad."

Cheng Xi looked at the bamboo basket behind him, it was heavy, and thick gray roots were faintly visible in the gap.

In his right hand, he also carried a large wild animal with a colorful tail so long that it could be dragged to the ground.

Ok?
It's that weird-looking "pheasant" again, why does it happen to him every time?
Shen Xingluo noticed her gaze, and there was a slight smile on his brows.

"Well, good luck indeed."

A strong fragrance wafted out from the small courtyard, and the two people who hadn't eaten well all day suddenly felt hungry.

"What did Xingqi do to make it so fragrant?"

"I killed a pheasant before going up the mountain, they were too noisy."

That was no ordinary fuss.

The pheasant from the orc plane was so good-looking that Shen Xingqi couldn't bear to eat it if she didn't like it.

However, their destructive power is also comparable to that of orcs. They bullied the three natives to death within half a day after being thrown into the chicken and duck pen.

Every time Cheng Xi passed by, he had to pinch their necks and nod his head to the ground, personally teaching them what it means to "coil even a dragon".

The effect is naturally significant.

The two pheasants frightened her as soon as they saw her, as peaceful as two quails.

But when she couldn't see her, she reverted to her old ways, and after half a month, the natives all suffered from depression.

killed.
Cheng Xi was stunned for a second after listening.

Nonsense, she will never have trouble with eating in her life!

"Let's go, try Xingqi's craftsmanship."

It smells very fragrant, and the sense of anticipation immediately rises.

Facts have proved that Shen Xingqi's culinary skills can be said to have improved by leaps and bounds after being taught by Cheng Xi.

The pheasant weighing more than 20 kilograms was divided into two, half of which was thrown into the natural refrigerator in the courtyard for future use, and the other half was stewed on low heat for two full hours.

In addition to the large ingredients such as cinnamon and fragrant leaves, a layer of chestnut kernels peeled a few days ago was also sprinkled.

The moment the lid is opened, the taste is strong and the aroma is tangy.

A few minutes later, the three of them sat down around a plate of chicken, with a bowl of chicken soup that was about to overflow in front of each of them.

The iron stove in the living room was humming while burning charcoal, and the whole room was warm.

Cheng Xi picked up the bowl and took a sip of the chicken soup. It had the aroma of chicken and mixed with the aroma of chestnuts, and the thickness was suitable.

but
It still feels familiar.

"Strange, why do you feel endless energy after eating this pheasant?"

Shen Xingqi held the bowl and asked a fatal question.

"It's the same as the wild boar meat last time."

Shen Xingluo didn't change his face, "The prey of this generation all came from Shennong Mountain, and it must have been caused by eating precious medicinal materials deep in the mountain forest for hundreds of years."

The little girl suddenly realized, "So that's how it is!"

Cheng Xi: "."

Really, one dares to speak and the other dares to believe.

***
The sky above the head seemed to be leaking, and the heavy snow continued until the twelfth lunar month without stopping.

Due to the large population of Shenjia Village, Lizheng organized several more grain buying operations.

Cheng Xi would follow him once in a while. First, he went to the post station to inquire about Cheng Dagan's news, and second, he went to Fucheng to observe the changes in grain prices.

As she expected, Fucheng did not allow large-scale entry.

"What? You can only enter 500 people a day? What kind of reason is this!"

"It's not like we don't want to hand over the two copper coins, so why don't we let people in?"

"What, the silver money entering the city gate is not two copper coins?"

"Ten copper plates?! Whoops, this can buy a catty of black noodles, black heart~~"

However, the fact is that black noodles have risen from the initial five cents per catty to 15 cents per catty, and the unit price of ten cents has long gone forever.

When the news reached Shenjia Village, the villagers who bought the food were secretly happy.

"I saw a lot of people queuing up at the city gate at night, just to get in at dawn."

"It's still snowing outside, it's freezing cold, suffer!"

"Thanks to Uncle Six's reminder, we were forced to buy food a few days ago, but now we can't afford it anymore. The price of food has tripled!"

"Oh no, didn't you complain the day before yesterday that you shouldn't buy food, why did you change your mind so quickly?"

"Who, who are you talking about? It's not me, I don't!"

Food prices have risen, and the number of people passing through the city gates is limited. Naturally, some people are happy and some are worried.

Unlike the state of mind of most villagers in Shenjia Village, other villages that faced the heavy snow without any preparations were not so lucky.

Being trapped at home by heavy snow for more than ten days has already exhausted the remaining food, and finally mustered up the courage to leave the house and encountered bad news, and the collapse of the mentality was only a matter of thought.

The villages around Lin'an Mansion suddenly complained, and the people suffered unspeakably.

But at this time, the small courtyard of the Shen family was full of joy and harmony.

Waking up early in the morning, the three of them first went to the yard to shovel snow as usual, just to exercise.After breakfast, those who should go up the mountain should go up the mountain, and those who should stay at home should stay at home. The division of labor is quite clear.

　See you tomorrow~
