Beloved Concubine

Chapter 57
"Sister Chen, so much meat seems to be a bit smelly, what should I do?"

Chunhong came out of the warehouse feeling a little nauseous.

She lives in the warehouse, and the bacon is also hung here. The smell of the house makes her feel a little nauseous.

Chen Xiao frowned.She felt that she might be really wrong and shouldn't buy so much meat.But so cheap!The usual one hundred yuan a catty of pork was only thirty yuan that day.The pig's head and pig's feet are even as long as [-] yuan.

Before, she thought that she could sell bacon rice, but just a few days after the meat was marinated, it started to rain continuously.She felt that the meat might not be preserved.

"Oh, forget it, if it doesn't work, then I don't want it." Chen Xiao said.

Hearing "no", Chunhong felt distressed.

"How can we not, at least we can still eat by ourselves."

The bacon needs to be air-dried for a while before it tastes good after being marinated. As soon as it was hung up to dry, it was rainy, and Chen Xiao himself didn't want to eat it.

She thought for a while and said, "Let's bake it all!"

"Baked?"

"Dry the meat over a wood fire."

There's no cypress here, or she'd be making bacon.Smoked meat is easier to keep.

"Is it all baked?"

"Yes, it's all baked."

Fang Yu said: "Cut the meat smaller, dry it, and make it into jerky."

Chen Xiao's eyes lit up.yes!Made into jerky.

She patted Fang Yu's back: "You are really talented!"

Fang Yu took her hand and put it around his waist.

"Chen lady, Chen lady!"

Nie Feng's voice came from the shop.

Some time ago, Nie Feng borrowed Chen Xiao's shoes "Hen Tian Gao" to do the same, and today he came to return the shoes.

"Thank you for your shoes! To express my gratitude, I will hold a banquet in Yihong Garden, and I would like to invite Mrs. Chen and Brother Fang to honor you."

"Are you inviting my wife to Yihong Garden?" Fang Yu said in a bad tone.

"I'm not only inviting her, I'm also inviting you, Brother Fang!"

To be honest, Chen Xiao really wanted to go to the "brothel".She said:
"Can I take my clerk with me?"

"Of course, I just invited you two and no one else." Nie Feng was very straightforward.

"When are we going?" Chen Xiao asked.

"You can leave now. Of course, if your store is still open for a while, you can ask your buddy to come over later. Just tell the doorman, and I will tell them."

Chen Xiao saw that it was raining and there was no business, so he asked Xiaoshitou and Chunhong to close the door.Just take half a day off.

Xiao Shitou was a little excited when he heard that he was going to "Yihong Garden".Chunhong heard that "Yihong Garden" was a brothel, so she didn't want to go.

"What are you afraid of! Are we going to sell you into a brothel? You're overthinking it!"

Xiaoshitou said to Chunhong.

"No, I didn't think so, I just..." Chunhong thought how could a woman enter a brothel?I can't even think about it.

In addition, after singing the Ha Festival, Chunhong began to doubt Chen Xiao's character.I feel more and more that she is not a good woman.

This is mainly because she saw Chen Xiao kissing Fang Yu that day, and Fang Yu pulled her into the house and closed the door.Afterwards, the two of them often had some flirtatious movements.

At the beginning, Chunhong only stayed at Ruan's house for one night, and no man touched her, so she couldn't tell the truth and had to marry.But Sister Chen was like Brother Fang. Brother Fang said every day that he wanted to marry her, but she just wouldn't.Would a woman from a good family do this?It's a girl from a good family who should have agreed to marry a long time ago.

Of course, she wouldn't say these things, and now she still relies on Chen Xiao to make money.

"Forget it, she doesn't want to go if she doesn't want to go."

Chen Xiao went into the room and changed into a strong outfit, wearing a pair of leather boots on his feet.

It wasn't raining at this time, but it had rained before, and the ground outside was muddy.

"Hey, your boots are not bad." Nie Feng looked at Chen Xiao's leather boots again.

Her pair of leather boots are brown cowhide embossed short boots, which can be worn as rain boots on rainy days.

Fang Yu flicked his sleeve to prevent Nie Feng from looking down at his shoes.

"Why do you keep staring at my wife's feet?" The tone was very displeased.

Nie Feng raised his head and said with a smile, "The boots are beautiful."

"Isn't it just a pattern! Many leather accessories in Xiling also have embossing, which is rare and strange."

"Really?" Nie Feng recalled the Xiling leather products he had seen, as if they were real.

Chunhong was looking after the house, and Xiao Shitou and the others went out with the owner.

The former Red Garden has been transformed, with red walls and vermilion lacquered gates. When you walk into the garden, red lanterns are hung everywhere, which really reveals the word "red" everywhere.

Instead of going to a place with a stage, they came to a courtyard.

Entering through the courtyard gate, there is a large courtyard inside, with flowers, trees, rocks and several stone tables in the courtyard.

The houses on all sides have been remodeled, and there is no distinction between primary and secondary. There are about ten rooms by visual inspection.

Some of the doors were closed, and the sound of men and women talking and laughing came from inside, and some of the piano sounded, indicating that there were guests in the courtyard.

Nie Feng pushed open the door of a room. In the middle of the room was a round table for eating, with tea tables and chairs on one side, and a screen on the other side.Chen Xiao walked around behind the screen, and saw a sheet behind it.

She came out from behind the screen, smiled meaningfully and said, "You still need a bathtub behind you."

Nie Feng smiled and said: "The back is only for temporary rest. Bathing and sleeping in another yard."

Chen Xiao asked: "The garden where there used to be a stage, what are you doing now?"

Nie Feng said: "There hasn't been much change there, it's usually closed, and the flowers will bloom every day."

"Flower day?"

"On the fifteenth day of each month, all the girls in the garden will perform on stage."

"Only once a month, isn't the utilization rate too low?"

"The girls perform different things every time, so give them some time to prepare."

"Usually, you can rehearse some performances."

"Rehearse what?"

"For example... it's time for Dalang to take his medicine."

After Chen Xiao finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing.She didn't know why she came up with the stalk of "Da Lang should take medicine".Perhaps it was because the last time I came here to listen to an opera, I heard "I lured him to knock on the door in the middle of the night, so I found out that there was a man in her family."

This is a brothel, so you should make some jokes about climbing over the wall and picking up ashes. If your acting is too serious, people won't like to watch it.

Nie Feng looked puzzled: "What, why should Dalang take medicine?"

"That's a story. Didn't you say you want to entertain me? Serve me with good wine and good food, and I'll tell you."

Chen Xiao felt that there was a lack of entertainment here, and if "Da Lang should take medicine" was made into a play, it would be fun.

Nie Feng ordered someone to serve tea, and then asked someone to bring the menu, and asked Chen Xiao to order.

Chen Xiao flipped through the recipes and said, "You just wanted to entertain me on a temporary basis, right?"

Nie Feng said: "I don't know if you will come. After all, this is a brothel."

"Then you still say that you must reward the honor?" Chen Xiao said in a joking tone.

Nie Feng smiled, then looked at Fang Yu.

Fang Yu had no expression on his face.

Chen Xiao said that she might not be what he imagined.Now he feels more and more that it is indeed.

He asked the white boa, what kind of person is Chen Xiao?

The white boa said that she is a good person, but sometimes she is a little bit bad.
