Rules for Raising Husbands of Crossing Koi

Chapter 22
As soon as she arrived at the market, she inquired about it. There was a shop in the west of the village that sold chickens and ducklings.

When they arrived, the storekeeper was about to take the chicks and ducklings home, she stepped forward panting, "Shopkeeper, here are eight little hens, two little roosters, four ducklings, two males and two females. "

"Fourteen copper coins, choose by yourself." The shopkeeper readily took Qin Lu's copper coins and watched from the side, regardless of which chickens and ducklings she wanted to choose.

Qin Lu was still thinking just now, if the store chooses for her, what reason would she have to find to choose by herself?
These chicks and ducklings all looked the same on the surface, but in fact some of them didn't grow up, or even couldn't lay eggs at all. The situation in their family didn't allow her to buy chickens and ducklings that couldn't lay eggs, otherwise it would be worse.

Soon she used the knowledge she had learned in the book to choose a suitable cub, paid the bill and left.

On the way back, Qin Lu was very anxious and didn't take any rest along the way.

They returned to the village in less than half an hour, and when they got home, Qin Lu put the chicks and ducklings into the nests they built earlier.

Looking at the frisky cubs, she is now looking forward to the eggs and ducks being free for a while, and she will definitely be able to make more chewy snacks, and even research a lot of pasta.

Just thinking about it, Qin Lu was so happy from ear to ear.

Qin Tieniu watched her happy because of the little cub from the side, and smiled dotingly.

After getting along, this little daughter-in-law made him appreciate more and more.

The two had just finished lunch when Qin Erzhuang came back. He would never come back at this hour in the past. Seeing him now, Qin Lu couldn't help feeling nervous, "Father, why are you back at this hour?"

"Today, the host is happy, let us do it for half a day, so I came back, have you had dinner?"

"Well, I've eaten it, Dad, have you eaten it?"

"Eat, then you stay at home and I will go to the back mountain to chop firewood." Qin Erzhuang had already picked up the machete while speaking.

Before he could step out of the yard, Qin Lu opened her mouth, "Father, we went together, we didn't go around the back mountain last time."

Last time because of the man in black, Qin Lu and the others picked it in a slander. According to the things picked, she guessed that there are many good things in this mountain.

Qin Erzhuang didn't think much, and agreed directly.

The three of them chatted and laughed along the way, and soon they arrived at the place where Qin Erzhuang was chopping firewood. He told Qin Lu and Qin Tieniu to come back before dark, "Although there are no wild animals in this back mountain, there are also snakes, insects, rats and ants. , must come back before dark."

"Okay, dad, don't worry, we'll just wander around and everything will be fine." Qin Lu assured Qin Erzhuang firmly.

He smiled honestly, "Go."

After leaving Qin Erzhuang, Qin Lu took the lead, and Qin Tieniu followed her closely. He subconsciously protected her all the time, for fear that she would fall.

Not long after walking, Qin Lu found a large field of wild vegetables. If these were in the era before she traveled, they would have to be bought with money. Seeing that they are everywhere without spending money, she shook her head helplessly, "It's really the way of the world. Good reincarnation."

"Tie Niu, let's dig more of these wild vegetables, and I'll make wild vegetable dumplings for you later."

"it is good."

Qin Lu and Qin Tieniu squatted in front of the wild vegetables and started digging. Unexpectedly, when they dug half of the basket, she suddenly saw a nest of quail eggs.

Looking at the shape of the surrounding weeds and the dust on the quail eggs, she guessed that the quail hadn't come back for a long time, maybe it had forgotten her child.

Qin Lu was also polite, and directly put away the quail eggs, thinking that she could have extra meals tonight, she was very happy.

After finishing the wild vegetables, they wandered around the back mountain. The food in the back mountain is not too much. There are also many fruits, sweet potatoes, bamboo shoots...

Qin Lu felt like she was digging for treasure, you don't know when you will find a good treasure.

She was curious, are all the people in the village rich?There is so much food in the back mountain, why no one comes?
Of course, she was only a little confused. Anyway, it was a great thing for her that no one came, and no one would grab her. It was completely fine to support them through the winter with these food.

Coupled with the money they earn from selling firewood and snacks, they will eat meat if they want to eat meat in the future.

Thinking of this, Qin Lu worked hard to put the things she wanted into the basket, and then took Qin Tieniu to find Qin Erzhuang.

It was already dark when they got home, Qin Lu rolled up her sleeves and went straight to the kitchen, soon the hot food was served.

Compared with yesterday's light dinner, today is the Chinese New Year. Even Qin Erzhuang feels that the Chinese New Year is not as good as tonight.

A table of five dishes, including meat dishes, vegetarian dishes, dim sum made by Qin Lu and some cold dishes, how could he not be surprised by such a sumptuous dinner?

"Lulu, you said you are tired after cooking such a table?"

"Don't be tired, Dad, Tie Niu, eat quickly, try this meat dish I made." Qin Lu looked at them expectantly, this meat dish is very particular.

Qin Tieniu remembered that they bought fat meat, when did they buy red meat?
With doubts, he and Qin Erzhuang took a bite of the meat dish. The taste was not strong, it was very fresh, like a tender pork, but it was so soft that it didn't taste like meat, but the meat taste was very strong, very fragrant and appetizing .

"These are crispy meat made with homemade flour and tofu..." Qin Lu saw that they were delicious, so she hurriedly introduced them.

"In other words, you marinated the meat with fat."

"Correct."

Qin Lu didn't want to deceive herself like this, but as far as it is concerned, it is still not possible to eat meat all at once, so before she can eat meat all at once, she must let them eat well and taste delicious.

Qin Erzhuang and Qin Tieniu expressed their admiration for Qin Lu, and at the same time asked her to eat quickly.

The family in the yard was having fun talking and laughing, but at this time someone outside the yard was about to move.

Across the door, the bearded man outside the door stared straight at the food on their table.

"You said you have no money, you can eat meat if you don't have money?"

He smelled the fragrance from a long distance, followed the smell to find it, and came to Qin Erzhuang's house.

It never occurred to him that the smell of meat came from Qin Erzhuang's family.

Qin Shitou stared fiercely at the three people in the yard, gritted his teeth and said, "Are you pretending to be poor? See how I deal with you."

After speaking, Qin Shitou left indignantly.

The people in the courtyard did not notice any abnormality.

After Qin Lu and the others finished eating, they tidied up and went back to the house to sleep. They were much more tired than usual this day, and they fell asleep after a while, and there were two more figures outside the courtyard.

The old and the young looked at each other and lowered their voices, "Are you sure their family eats meat?"

"Father, can I lie to you about this?" Facing Qin Dasheng's questioning, Qin Shitou was dissatisfied, and even raised his voice unconsciously.

"You're looking for death, we're here to steal meat, so you can't keep your voice down." Qin Dasheng hated iron for being weak, and kicked Qin Shitou.

Qin Shitou hurriedly lowered his voice, rubbed his butt, followed Qin Dasheng over the courtyard wall and entered Qin Erzhuang's house.

They found no meat in the kitchen, and there was only a little wild vegetable on the chopping board, which still looked so poor.

"What about the meat?"

"Father, there really is..." Qin Shitou stomped his feet anxiously, but Qin Dasheng didn't want to talk to him, and listened to him to steal meat in the middle of the night, but didn't even see any meat.

He left in a panic and left, not wanting to hear noises as soon as he arrived in the yard. The father and son were worried and looked at each other to make sure that no one in the house had noticed. They followed the sound and walked over, and they saw chickens and ducklings.

"Father, what did I say?"

"Shut up and take it away."
