Husband, don't panic, I'm rich

Chapter 7 Prodigal Son

"Grandpa the village chief, why do I hear people say that we are going to have a severe drought for seven consecutive years." Shen Xi said with a smile.

She is not talking nonsense. In her previous life, Shen Xi was familiar with history, and was especially interested in local chronicles.If she remembered correctly, this period was the famous ten-year drought period in the local chronicles.

The village chief didn't believe it, "It's a bunch of nonsense, where did you hear that crazy talk?"

Shen Xi didn't bother to argue, this old man is not bad-hearted, but he doesn't like her, so it's useless to say more.

Before Shen Xi went out, Wu Xianglian rushed home in a hurry. Wu Xianglian is the village head's little granddaughter, who is also 17 years old this year. The sign of the head, but relying on her father being the unruly headstrong of the village head.

"Stop, don't leave!" Wu Xianglian reached out to stop Shenxi.

"Yo, who is this? Shen Xi," Wu Xianglian said in a strange way, "What kind of wind brought you here? What are you doing at our house? You can't beg for food."

"Chenxi is here to sell land, Xianglian, don't make things difficult for him." The village head shouted outside.

But Wu Xianglian laughed loudly, "Selling the land, you don't come to sell the land because you really can't eat, hahaha..."

Wu Xianglian laughed exaggeratedly, her mouth opened wide, Shen Xi took out a date stone from his pocket, moved his fingertips slightly, and shot it into it.

Wu Xianglian stopped laughing immediately, and clutched her neck in pain.This thing won't hurt her body, but it can make her suffer a little.

"Yo, isn't this Xianglian? Why don't you smile? You weren't very arrogant just now..." Shen Xi followed her example.

Wu Xianglian's face was full of blood, but her throat was blocked by something and she couldn't make a sound.

The village chief ran over and said that the village chief was quite righteous. He didn't make random guesses, and he didn't blame Shen Xi. He just kept patting Wu Xianglian on the back until a round date pit was coughed out.

At this time, Shen Xi had already left with the money, so she was too lazy to fight here, she still had important things to do.

Shen Xi left, but Chen Xianglian became very angry. She was so spoiled that she didn't let out her bad temper. She kept saying bad things about Shen Xi when she saw people, and she sold all the fields at home. A fat man who eats and waits to die will die sooner or later.

Within a day, gossip spread everywhere in the village, and some people even said that Shenxi used the money from selling the land to buy ducks to eat.In the alleys and alleys of the village, there was a woman who patted the back of her hand and criticized, "Tell me, talk about it, how can you be a lazy person? The Shen family is really bad luck for eight lifetimes, and there is such a thing at the stall."

"Who says no, it can weigh 300 catties, and pigs are not as fat as her."

The other woman covered her mouth and laughed, lowering her voice, "I think pigs are smarter than her."

"Hahaha," the two women laughed, "the pig can be sold for money after being fattened up, what can she do?"

Xiao Taohua is one of Shenxi's few friends in the village. Hearing someone say that about Shenxi, Xiao Taohua was only angry because he had a fight with someone.

"Chenxi is not what you said. Although she can eat ducks, she can't buy ducks with the money from the land sale. Is this something people do?" Xiao Taohua argued hard.

The mother-in-law who spoke was not annoyed, and said lightly, "It's true that no one did it, but the Shen family did it. Someone saw it with their own eyes. Why are you so stubborn."

Xiao Taohua couldn't get angry, so she ran to Shen's house to find Shen Xi, and met Shen Xi at the door, "Chen Xi," Xiao Taohua called.

Shen Xi narrowed his eyes and thought for a while before he remembered who it was.Little Taohua, the original owner's only friend.

Xiao Taohua's family background is poor, Xiao Taohua is not her nickname, but her name.Because she has no father and mother is a fool, such a child does not seem to deserve a name.

Fortunately, the folk customs in Qingyuan Village are quite simple. Xiao Taohua grew up eating a lot of food, but she is still thin and thin. She is 16 years old and less than 1.4 meters tall.

"I'm so pissed off. Do you know what they say about you behind your back? They say you bought ducks with the money from the land sale. Do you think it's plausible?" Xiao Taohua said with righteous indignation, but what kind of taste is this, Xiao Sniffing the peach blossoms, they are so fragrant, like the smell of duck meat.

Thinking of what she said just now, the corners of Xiao Taohua's mouth twitched, "You, you didn't really buy a duck, did you?"

"No." Shen Xi denied.

As soon as Xiao Taohua was relieved, she said that Shen Xi was not such a person!In the end, Shen Xi said, "I bought five!"

Little Peach Blossom: "!!!"

"Five, five, five!" Xiao Taohua stammered in fright, she really is a prodigal.

Before Xiao Taohua recovered from the fright, she was dragged into the house by Shen Xi, "You came just in time, come and taste the deliciousness of my roast!"

Shen Xi cut a piece of crispy duck skin with a knife and fed it to Xiao Taohua's mouth.

At that moment, Xiao Taohua's eyes lit up, I'm going, what kind of fairy duck meat is this, it's so delicious.Crisp and fragrant, the fragrance is indistinct.

It took a long time to chew and swallow it carefully, it was too delicious.

Shen Xi roasted all five ducks, and she is researching the recipe of roast ducks.Although I often ate it in my previous life and watched others bake it, it was the first time I did it.

According to the known recipe, Shen Xi added some new seasonings, and soon the delicious roast duck came out of the oven.

Especially the fifth time, it was perfect. Not only the color of the duck was ruddy and shiny, but the skin was crispy and tender, and the smell was mouth-watering.

"Is it delicious?" Shen Xi asked Xiao Taohua.

Xiao Taohua nodded vigorously, completely forgetting why she came here.

At this time, one, two, three, four, four small heads came in from the door of the room. They were children from the neighbor’s house. They all swallowed saliva frantically, and some chewed their fingers. Miles.

Shen Xi generously distributed food to the four children, and the children all ate a mouthful of oil, and happily ran out to show off.

"Big sister of the Shen family eats roast duck at home, it's delicious," child A said when he saw anyone.

The woman saw the child's mouth glistening, and as he spoke, the aroma of the roast duck permeated from her lips and teeth before it could dissipate.

It really smells delicious, let alone eat it.

The mother-in-law swallowed hard, "Which Shen family, is that Shen family full of prodigal sons?"

The child didn't understand these things, so he said, "It's Shen Zihai's family."

Shen Zihai is the name of Shen's father.

"Her family." The woman surnamed Wang swallowed her saliva. If she hadn't had a festival with the Shen family, she would also like to beg for a roast duck.

It's been a long time since ducks can be roasted, and this is the first time she's heard of it.

But on Shenxi's side, after Xiao Taohua showed off a big duck leg, she suddenly thought of something serious, she wiped the oil from the corner of her mouth, "Well, did you really buy this with the money from selling the land? The land is sold, you What to eat in the future, they say this year is a bumper harvest year, what a pity to sell it." Xiao Taohua felt a little distressed for Shen Xi.
