Chapter 30 Kindness
It's no wonder that Xiao Jinyue didn't know that modern people raising pigs will castrate their piglets when they are weaned about 20 days after birth.

The castrated pigs grow fast, the meat is delicious, and there is no smell.

But people in this era are very casual about raising pigs, and they don't know how to castrate pigs, so the pigs raised have a foul smell, and the meat quality is not as delicious as modern ones.

Xiao Jinyue really couldn't bear the smell, after finding a way to spend all the people in the kitchen, he quickly got some spiritual spring water out of the space, and added Dongpo pork, fatty intestines, pork head meat, and big bone soup to it respectively , which got rid of the smell.

"Ma'am, what delicious food are you making today, you can smell the aroma from a long way away." Hear his voice before seeing anyone.Everyone in the flower hall heard a hearty laughter from afar.

Xiao Pingyuan, who had just returned home from duty, laughed loudly and stepped into the flower hall.

Xue Shi smiled and stood up to meet her, "Your nose is really sharp, you can smell the fragrance when you are still outside."

"Today we have good food, so we have to drink two cups." Xiao Pingyuan said with a smile and went to wash up first.

Xue asked his servants to prepare the meal.

After Xiao Pingyuan washed up briefly, the whole family gathered in the flower hall to prepare meals.

The medicated big bone soup stewed by Xiao Jinyue has a mellow taste. After taking a sip, there is a faint taste of medicated food on the lips.

Dongpo meat is ruddy in color, fat but not greasy, melts in the mouth, mellow, soft and rotten and easy to serve with rice.

Stir-fried fat sausages are tender and crispy, delicious and not fishy.

The pork head meat sauce is rich in aroma and delicious in meat quality, making it the best appetizer with wine.

There are also a few crisp and refreshing side dishes, this meal, from Xiao Pingyuan to the servant girls, everyone is full.

Xiao Jinyue, on the other hand, didn't take a few bites of the meat or the big bone broth.

Although she quietly used Lingquan water to get rid of the smell, but at the dinner table, facing the meat dishes she cooked, she had no appetite.

Maybe it's because of her heart, she always feels that smell is lingering in her mind.

She sighed secretly in her heart, there was a shadow in her heart, how could she happily eat all kinds of delicious meat in the future.

The whole family was concentrating on tasting the delicacies she made with her own hands. Only Xiao Jinlan, who was sitting next to her, noticed that she only ate those few vegetarian dishes and hardly touched those few meat dishes.

Facing the puzzled eyes of the eldest sister, Xiao Jinyue could only explain that she forgot to eat lunch at noon, and because she was hungry after shopping, she ate a lot of snacks and hadn't digested them, and was worried that she would get tired of eating meat again, so she prevaricated.

When the lights came on, everyone was full of wine and food, and went back to wash up.

The meal tonight was really delicious, and it was a family gathering to enjoy it. Xiao Pingyuan had such a rare time to relax and enjoy, so he inevitably drank a lot of wine at the banquet.At the end of the drink, the smell of alcohol rose up, wishing to praise his little daughter to the heavens and the earth.

Knowing that he had a lot of things on his mind, Mrs. Xue knew that it was rare for him to relax, so she let him drink his fill and did not dissuade him.

Xiao Jinyue smiled and looked at her father who was still talking when he was drunk, Mrs. Xue who responded gently, and the elder brother, elder sister and younger brother who were eating to their heart's content. At that moment, her heart was full of joy and warmth.

Coming out of her parents' side, Xiao Jinyue followed her eldest sister back to the West Chamber slowly. After washing up, she lay down on the bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.

……

The next day, after breakfast, Xiao Jinyue ordered the steward and the buyer to help her inquire about the purchase channels of sucrose.

Xiao Jinyue was stunned when he heard the rumor that a man named Liu Dashan was coming to kowtow to thank him.

Xiao Jinyue was quite surprised when the servant brought him in and saw the little boy.

It was the little boy I met yesterday when I was buying cane sugar, his name was Xiaoxi.

The one next to him is his father Liu Dashan.

It turned out that after Xiaoxi returned yesterday, he immediately boiled the sucrose Xiao Jinyue gave her for her mother to drink.

Seeing such a large bag of precious sucrose suddenly, Xiaoxi's mother thought that he had tricked him into getting here, and almost dragged her weak body to beat him.

In order to reassure his mother, Xiaoxi had no choice but to tell about Xiao Jinyue's gift of sugar and buying firewood.But his mother still looked skeptical after hearing this, and she refused to drink the sucrose he boiled, saying that she couldn't take other people's things for nothing, and asked him to exchange them all back.

From Xiaoxiniang's point of view, the son does not seem to know each other's noble daughter, so he really shouldn't take such expensive things from others.

In the end, it was Xiaoxi's father who came back from work in the field. After hearing what happened, he was silent for a long time, and then he gritted his teeth and took the bag of sucrose.

Liu Dashan didn't even bother to take a break, turned around and took a machete and went up the mountain to cut firewood.

His wife suffered from postpartum hemorrhage and was in need of health care. He couldn't bear to return the bag of sucrose, but he felt sorry for letting him just take the sucrose.

Due to the poverty of his family, he had no money to return to others, and struggled silently for a long time. The honest Liu Dashan had no choice but to go up the mountain to cut more firewood regardless of his hard work.

One is to send some to the girl's house as a thank you, and the other is to sell it in the city, and then return it to others after saving enough money.

Before dawn today, Liu Dashan loaded a cart full of firewood with a cart borrowed from a neighbor, and brought his son into the city.

As soon as Liu Dashan entered the flower hall, he immediately pulled his son, knelt down towards Xue Shi and Xiao Jinyue with a plop, and kowtowed his head.

Mrs. Xue hurriedly signaled to the maid who was waiting on her side to help him up, but Liu Dashan couldn't afford it.

After the kowtow was over, Liu Dashan blushed and said, "Madam, my child is not sensible, so he took the cane sugar from the lady, and please give me a little time, I will chop firewood and sell it in the city every day. That's enough, I'll come back and pay for the cane sugar."

Mrs. Xue asked the servants to help Liu Dashan and his son up, brought them a brocade stool to sit down, and asked the little maid to bring tea and snacks to entertain the father and son.

Seeing the little boy sitting beside him cautiously, Xiao Jinyue didn't dare to touch the tea and snacks brought by the maid, so she smiled and pushed the snacks towards him, motioning him to eat them.

Xiaoxi didn't want to eat at first, but his stomach groaned unsatisfactorily. He was called out of bed by his father before dawn, and hurriedly ate a steamed bun left over from the day before yesterday. After walking such a long way into the city, his stomach Already hungry.

Seeing the exquisite dim sum at this time, and being persuaded by the fairy sister, he finally couldn't hold back his hunger, and reached out to pick up a piece of dim sum and ate it.

After hearing the whole story, Mrs. Xue knew that her daughter had a kind heart to pity the poor and the weak, so she naturally would not object, "Xiaoxi met my little girl, it is also a fate between the two, since my daughter said, the sucrose is for the child Yes, of course you don’t have to pay back.”

Seeing that Liu Dashan was blushing and wanted to protest, Mrs. Xue comforted, "Take the sucrose safely and cook it for the child's mother to drink. If you feel sorry, you can help my house chop firewood. you buy it."

Xiao Jinyue sat beside her and listened with a smile, sighing in her heart, is it really a mother and daughter, her mother thinks exactly the same as her.

While everyone was talking, the manager in charge of purchasing came in with a purse, saying that it was for the firewood sent by Liu Dashan.

When Liu Dashan heard that someone wanted to pay for his firewood, he waved his hands in fright, "I can't do it, I can't do it..."

He is a simple and honest man, and he feels that he has gotten a huge advantage by taking a large bag of precious cane sugar from others, and the firewood on the mountain is worthless, but it is just a waste of effort to chop it down and send it to the city. Where can I get other people's firewood money?

Although Liu Dashan wanted to decline, but he was not the eloquent Xue's opponent. After being persuaded by her in a few words, he took the purse handed over by the steward in a daze.

Seeing Liu Dashan accepting the purse, Xiao Jinyue smiled and changed the subject without a trace, "Uncle Liu, do you know how to raise pigs?"
