I farmed and built a villa in ancient times

Chapter 49 Setting Up a Stall Part 3
"Don't get so angry." Zhou Shuqing brought a bowl of tea over, and Hongmei drank it gurglingly, but continued to curse: "It's a good thing she didn't dare to offend me, otherwise my aunt would have let her see how powerful I am. I really thought that she didn't dare to offend me. Are everyone in the world as easy to bully as Aunt Xiuju?"

Zhou Shuqing wiped the sweat from her temples with his hands. When she was making trouble, he protected her from behind, "That's right, if anyone dares to bully my wife, I will fight with him to the death!"

Hongmei looked at him, thin-skinned, shy and anxious, "Fuck you."

Zhou Chenyu and Baoyu slowly carried the things on the cart through the village road. Everyone in Zhoujia Village was busy farming in the rice fields. They were the only ones on the road, and they suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention.

Zhou Chenyu watched those people whispering to each other, as if they were discussing them. This was how it was in the countryside. Whenever there was any disturbance in the village, word spread quickly.

She sneezed, and Baoyu slowed down and looked over, "Sister, did you catch a cold last night?"

"Why am I catching a cold on such a hot day?" After Zhou Chenyu finished speaking, she sneezed twice more and rubbed the tip of her nose, "Someone must be cursing me?"

The moon and starlight in the sky became fainter, and the morning light became darker. The corner of the sun climbed up from the back of the mountain, and a few rays of sunlight hit the fields. The crystal clear dewdrops accumulated on the rice ears, weeds, and wild flowers soon disappeared. .

At dawn, Zhou Chenyu and Baoyu quickened their pace and rushed to the flat ground near the tea shed outside the city.

As expected, the black-hearted tea shack was still there. When they arrived, the female shopkeeper, who could turn her face faster than flipping through a book, glared at them fiercely, as if they had taken away business.

Zhou Chenyu stayed away from the tea shed based on the principle of not causing trouble. She had already spotted the flat land in the shadow at the foot of the hill opposite the tea shed. Although there were some piles of rocks and a few weeds growing there, it was not easy. To be seen, but very close to the splashing water from the mountain spring.

The spring water that gushes out from the bottom of the mountain is cold and refreshing. The mung bean sugar water soaked there is equivalent to a natural refrigerator.

Although the location here is a bit cramped, you won’t be late for a good meal.

Zhou Chenyu shoveled down the weeds with his feet and moved away the gravel, "Come on, let's put the things here."

Baoyu took off the tables and chairs from the trolley. The female shopkeeper opposite took a first look at the situation and immediately brought her two sons. The three of them came over aggressively, "Why are you here?"

Before she could finish speaking, Zhou Chenyu took out a kitchen knife and slashed it at the bottom of the big tree next to him. He scolded her first: "Baoyu, if anyone dares to bully you in the future, just tell me! Whoever doesn't want to make things easier for us?" , then no one can have a good life, the worst I can do is cut them all off with one knife, leaving her to earn money but not to spend it!"

Seeing this, the female shopkeeper hurriedly stopped and stopped the two eldest sons.

Baoyu looked at the aggressive three people, quickly stepped back, and hugged the knife smartly, "Sister, you have cut off one of my brother-in-law's palms. He already knows that he was wrong. Don't be angry. Don't get so angry. body."

Zhou Chenyu originally wanted to pull out the knife and scare him again, but he didn't expect that the cut was too deep and he couldn't pull it out no matter how hard he tried, almost revealing his secret.

She grabbed Baoyu's ears and cursed angrily: "There is no good man in the world. It is his hand that I chopped off this time. If he dares to bully me again, I will chop off his lifeblood and make him a eunuch!!"

Baoyu bared her teeth and grabbed the knife. She turned around uneasily and pointed at the three people quietly: "I'm really sorry, my sister is not doing well here. But don't worry, as long as no one provokes her, she will still be the same as ordinary people." Strange."

Zhou Chenyu glared over, "You brat, you called me a lunatic? You are the lunatic!"

The female shopkeeper looked at the sharp and reflective knife, thinking that she had worked so hard to hold her eldest son away from getting hurt because of a crazy woman.

"You have to watch her carefully. If she really hurts someone, I will go to the government!"

"Hey, I will definitely watch her." Baoyu sent away the three giant Buddhas, and his ears were grabbed. "Okay, you call me a madman?" Baoyu covered his ears and snickered, "Sister, I'm not cooperating with you. Sing a good show?"

Zhou Chenyu winked at him, "You are smart."

After solving the trouble on the other side, they arranged everything neatly, everything was ready, and they were waiting for the guests to come.

It was too early to get dark, and most of the people passing by were passers-by on horseback. Those people came from a long way on horseback. It happened that there was a tea shed on the right. They jumped off their horses and walked straight towards it.

There was a steady stream of customers at the tea shed, and their sweet water shop was empty. Even if passers-by wanted to have a taste, they were frightened and hesitated by the empty stall. Coupled with the tea shed’s female shopkeeper’s embarrassment, no one dared to approach this stall. place.

Baoyu's throat was exhausted from shouting, and she returned home lonely, "Sister, there hasn't been a single guest since this morning."

"Oh, who says it's not the case? Are you thirsty? Let's get some sugar water to drink."

Zhou Chenyu scooped up a spoonful of taro balls and added mung bean syrup chilled with mountain spring water, "Here, quench your thirst."

Baoyu took a sip and drank the ice-cold sugar water into his stomach, which relieved the heat. "Sister, it tastes better this way than when it's hot!"

"That's it." Zhou Chenyu scooped up a mouthful of taro balls, and a child's voice sounded behind him, "Sister, what is this?"

Seeing how cute she was, Zhou Chenyu's tone changed into a clipped tone like the child's, "This is taro balls, do you want to eat them?"

The little child stood there and nodded obediently. Zhou Chenyu fed her a mouthful. A middle-aged woman pulled another child up and said, "Your child ran so fast, my mother almost couldn't catch up. Thank you, girl, we don't want it." You can keep your things and eat them.”

"It's okay." Zhou Chenyu smiled.

"Mom, I want to eat this." The child stayed where he was, chewing the uneaten taro balls in his mouth, "This is delicious."

The middle-aged woman took a look and said, "Girl, what is this? I have never seen it before."

When Zhou Chenyu saw a business opportunity, he quickly stood up and introduced, "Sister, these are the taro balls I made. They are made of taro, sweet potato and pumpkin. They taste soft and waxy."

The child gently grabbed the hem of the woman's skirt and watched helplessly, "Mom, I don't want any more candy, I just want to eat this."

The woman looked at the child's tearful eyes, not to mention the taro balls and sugar water, and wanted to pick the stars in the sky for her, "Okay, okay, girl, how much does this cost for a bowl?"

Seeing the business coming, Zhou Chenyu smiled enthusiastically and said, "Sister, three pennies a bowl."

The woman saw Baoyu eating beside him and couldn't stop eating, so she replied readily: "Okay, give us a bowl to try."

"Okay." Baoyu quickly jumped up from the stool and scooped two full bowls of mung bean and taro ball sugar water, "Here you go."

When the two children saw the brightly colored taro balls, they jumped up excitedly and clamored to have the first bite. The woman picked up the bowl and coaxed the little one who hadn't eaten yet to take a bite, "Don't worry. It’s all there.”
