I am Fugui

Chapter 75
"Father, just get used to her."

With Xu's father speaking, Fengxia can adopt this little yellow dog.

Father Xu snorted, and said as a matter of course: "I'm just Fengxia, if I'm not used to her, would I be used to you, a worthless thing?"

Xu's mother wiped the sugar stains from Fengxia's mouth, "Fugui, since Fengxia wants it, let her keep it. It's not a big deal. In our village, who doesn't have a dog?"

Chang Gen walked over and wanted to touch the little yellow dog's head, "My wife is right, Long Er didn't have a dog, so the house was burglarized."

The little yellow dog was very vigilant, and when Chang Gen approached, it took two steps back.

Laishun couldn't help laughing, "Long Er's bastard is smart, now every time he passes by the village entrance, he can hear two big black dogs barking in his house, I really want to kill them quietly someday have eaten."

After finishing speaking, Laishun added his lips, obviously not joking.

Hearing what they said, Xu Fugui waved to the little yellow dog, "Dog, come here, eat and drink with us, and take care of the home."

Seeing him beckoning, the little yellow dog froze for a moment, then ran over happily wagging its tail, and rubbed his head against his trousers.

"Haha, Fengxia has a dog too." Fengxia happily got down from Father Xu's arms, wanting to hug the dirty little yellow dog.

Xu Fugui held her back, "Come back, give the dog a bath first."

Fengxia said obediently, then raised her head and said, "Father, a dog must have a name too."

Xu Fugui didn't have much ink in his stomach, so he couldn't cope with picking a name, so he asked Jiazhen to pick it up.

Jiazhen thought about it carefully, "Let's call it Ping'an, Ping An'an is the best, and it sounds festive."

Thus, the little yellow dog's name was determined, and Fengxia kept calling the little yellow dog's name.

It's a pity that the little yellow dog seems to be used to wandering, and is very wary of strangers. Currently, he is only close to Xu Fugui.

"Father, Ping An doesn't like me." Feng Xia said with a puffy face.

"You feed it something to eat, and it gets close to you."

Feng Xia immediately ran into the house, brought out the leftover sweet potato porridge from lunch and put it on the ground, and Ping An glanced at Xu Fugui, and Wang's dog barked.

"Hey, this dog is clever and knows how to act according to people's faces." Xu's father also liked this yellow dog a little more.

"Eat." Xu Fugui pointed to the sweet potato porridge on the ground.

Ping An immediately ate, and his sunken belly slowly bulged.

Xu Fugui turned around and walked into the kitchen, heated up the fire, and prepared to take a bath for Ping An.

"Laishun, go to the back of the village and pick some soap tree leaves." Xu Fugui shouted to the outside.

Laishun agreed, and after a while, came back with a large handful of leaves.

They have a very magical tree here, which they call the soap tree, and outsiders thought it was a jujube tree at first.

As the name suggests, soap tree leaves can produce white foam after rubbing, which looks like the foam of soap locust.

However, the foam produced by rubbing jujube leaves is not so fragrant, it only has a faint smell of leaves, and its decontamination ability is average, far inferior to saponins.

Even so, the soap tree is still very popular in the countryside. Poor people can't afford the soap root. They pick a handful from the tree when they take a bath, and they can take a beautiful bath when they go home.

After the hot water in the pot was boiled, it was poured into the wooden basin for washing clothes. After adding some hot water, Xu Fugui let Ping An in.

"Wang"

Pingan barked lightly, not understanding what he meant, subconsciously moved away from the tub.

Xu Fugui guessed that it had never been bathed, and many dogs were very resistant to bathing, so he tentatively put it into the tub.

The dog's paw touched the warm water, and Pingan retracted subconsciously.

"Go in."

Ping An looked at him with dark dog eyes, tremblingly stretched his dog's paws into the tub, and found that it was neither hot nor cold, so he obediently lay down in it.

"Father, I also want to give Ping An a bath." Feng Xia called out.

Jiazhen pulled her, "You want to get a board on your butt, right? If your clothes get dirty, whoever will do the laundry for you, just watch."

Xu Fugui wet the dog's hair, grabbed a handful of soap tree leaves, wet it with water and rubbed it vigorously, a lot of foam appeared from his hands, and then wiped it on the dog's hair.

Ping An is an unusual dog. He stays in the tub without moving, but instead hums comfortably.

After changing the hot water twice, Xu Fugui leaned closer and smelled it. There was still a faint smell of dog hair, but it was harmless.

Take it out of the pot, wipe the water stains a little, put it next to the brazier, and dry the dog hair.

"Wang!"

After taking a hot bath and standing next to the warm brazier, I felt the unprecedented warmth, and the dog barked happily.

"Safety!"

Fengxia called out, and Ping An immediately turned to look over.

Father Xu said with a smile: "This dog is clever, it only needs to be called a few times before it knows its own name, and it is a good housekeeper."

Xu Fugui smiled, put on his padded clothes, walked out of the house, and came to Chen Yunsheng's house.

"Fifth brother, do you have any offal at home?"

Chen Yunsheng was sharpening his knife, when he heard the words, he stopped, his eyes lit up, "Fugui, are you going to start selling lo mei again?"

Xu Fugui hummed.

Chen Yunsheng smiled at first, then shook his head, "You didn't give me a warning beforehand, there isn't even a pig in the family."

Xu Fugui was not disappointed either, "Then you will collect it for me in the future, and we will remain the same as before."

Chen Yunsheng nodded happily, and then sighed again, "Fugui, I'm afraid I won't receive any offal in the next two months, and I guess there won't be any haggis."

Xu Fugui frowned, "Why?"

"Why else? Those who want to kill pigs and sheep were killed years ago, and now they are buying lambs and piglets. Who in the poor will kill pigs after the next year? Unless they are those who have to do business."

"Every time the Chinese New Year is over, we pig butchers are almost free."

Xu Fugui nodded suddenly, "It counts as much as you can get."

If it doesn't work, he can only buy it at the meat stall in the county town.

After leaving Chen Yunsheng's house, he went to Sun Daotang's house again and asked him if he had collected eggs.

Sun Daotang grinned and said: "There are some, fifty eggs and thirty duck eggs are always prepared for you. Don't worry, none of them are broken."

After Xu Fugui checked, he immediately took out copper coins, which was the same as the price negotiated before.

"Uncle Sun, it will still be the same as before, help me collect eggs."

Sun Daotang nodded gratefully, "Okay, okay."

In the past few days, he almost couldn't resist looking for Xu Fugui, wanting to ask if he still accepts eggs and duck eggs.

Life is getting more and more difficult. After paying the rent and all kinds of taxes and food, there is not enough food left for the family, so I can only find a way from other places.

Collecting eggs for Xu Fugui, he has tasted the sweetness before, he can earn almost a hundred copper coins a day, it is a very cost-effective business, and he is not tired.

He was afraid that Xu Fugui's lo-mei business would stop.

Xu Fugui returned home, took out the preserved marinade, and started to cook the marinated eggs, while Jiazhen helped him
