Fertile land

Chapter 33

"Let's do this, Zhi'er, look after the stall. Wait for me first. I'll come back as soon as I leave for my husband!"

After speaking, Li Sanmao ran towards another street and disappeared into the sea of ​​people...

"Hey, Miao Miao's father, come back..."

After a while, Luo Zhi'er looked listlessly in the direction where Li Sanmao went, but he still hadn't come back!

"Madam, how do you sell this bacon?"

At this time, an elderly woman at the stall asked about bacon. She stood up weakly.

"Fifteen cents a pound!"

"Okay, give me a name for this piece..."

Luo Zhi'er was so confused that he didn't expect to sell one piece.

He weighed it with a scale and said, "Madam, this weighs five pounds and six taels. Just give me 84 cents!"

"Hey, little wife, please put it away! This is 84 articles."

Luo Zhi'er took the money and saw that she didn't have anything like a bamboo basket or basket. She didn't have any pockets here.

Fortunately, there is a small hole in the meat, and a palm tree leaf thread is tied to the hole, so you can just pick it up and go!

"Mom, please carry it carefully, this rope is not very strong, be careful if the rope breaks!"

"it is good!"

When the woman walked away, Luo Zhi'er happily gave her some money. No wonder Mrs. Zhou likes to come to the town to keep her money!
This feels good!
But this meat is actually quite profitable. Why is Li Sanmao's family so poor when he hunts so much?

Just collected the money,
"Daughter-in-law, why are you so happy?"

It's Li Sanmao who's back.

"Husband, you are back. Look, I sold a piece of bacon and earned 84 cents!"

Luo Zhi'er took it out and gestured like a treasure, "Hey, here it is for you!"

She knew that she would have to pay for the money when she got home, so there was no point in keeping it...

"Haha, keep it for now and give it to me when you get home later!"

Li Sanmao likes to see her money-obsessed look, but unfortunately, this is not his...

"Daughter-in-law, what do you think this is?"

"Hey, roasted sweet potatoes, meat buns, and rock sugar pear water..."

Only then did Luo Zhi'er see him carrying a bunch of things, "Husband, you, you went to buy food? But, where did you get the money?"

"Haha, stupid wife, your husband has been hunting for many years and he doesn't have any money. I can barely buy you these snacks! But you have to keep it a secret!"

"Well, it turns out that my husband also has a small treasury. You hide it really deep, so I won't be polite!"

She was indeed a little dizzy from hunger and had no strength. She didn't know why her body was like this.

She suspected that it might be because she had just given birth and her body was weak, and because she had been on a diet to lose weight for the past two days!

After sitting down, he handed Li Sanmao a meat bun and said, "Husband, eat the meat bun!"

"Daughter-in-law, you can just eat. I'm not hungry! I don't like eating this stuff either. I'm tired of looking at the meat after hunting every day. I haven't liked sweets since I was a child..."

"oh, I see!"

She recalled that he didn't seem to eat meat in the past. As long as he hunted and got some meat, he would put it in a bowl for her and Miaomiao. This problem was really strange...

Luo Zhi'er took a bite of the meat bun and narrowed her eyes, "It's so delicious! My strength came back instantly!"

But her weight loss plan...

"Husband, you really don't want to eat..."

Nod…

"You really don't like to eat and buy so much, it's a waste of money!"

"Haha, I'll give it to you, what's the waste? Eat it quickly, don't get dizzy again later!"

"Ok!"

It felt so good to fill her belly. She hadn't eaten such delicious meat buns for a long time. She rubbed her belly. People still have money to eat and drink enough!
Li Sanmao just stood there, really not eating, watching her finish a meat bun with a smile in his eyes.

Eat another one until you drink all the rock sugar and snow pear water!
By the afternoon, around one o'clock, their business was really not doing well. Except for the piece of meat sold by Luo Zhi'er, there was no income!

The flow of people has missed the morning shopping peak, and the pedestrians have gradually become sparse, mainly because it is still hot in summer...

Their heads were facing each other in the sun, and she saw that Li Sanmao was quite tanned. She didn't know what it was like, but his hands were dark anyway!It's a lot darker than the wrists in the sleeves!

Wiping off the sweat, he said, "Husband, this doesn't seem to work. How about we go to a restaurant or some small restaurants to see if we need to buy these items?"

"Okay, that's all I have to do!"

Luo Zhi'er put away the things on the ground, stamped them with a piece of cloth, and then carried the jar of chicken fungus oil. Li Sanmao put the basket on his back, but he accidentally sprained his foot when he stood up.

"hiss…"

It's such an unlucky person that he can't even drink water between his teeth... "Husband, are you okay?"

"It's okay, let's go!"

Li Sanmao limped along with the basket on his back and insisted on walking towards the more prosperous Yong'an Street in the town...

Luo Zhi'er followed behind with the jar in her arms. The two of them walked for more than 20 minutes until they arrived at Yong'an Street. There are many small restaurants selling noodles, wontons, steamed buns, and fried rice along this street...

Of course, Hongyun Building, the largest and most impressive restaurant in Taoyuan Town, is located here!

The purpose of their trip is to try their luck at Hongyun Tower first!
When we arrived at the entrance of Hongyun Tower, we could see that there was a very impressive plaque with golden fonts hanging at the door of the restaurant. The three characters of Hongyun Tower came into view, which was intimidating...

There is a giant cornucopia placed on the side of the restaurant entrance, with a large string of red lanterns hanging on both sides. As soon as you arrive at the gate, you can see that it is divided into two floors.

The first floor is the hall, which is magnificently decorated with round solid wood tables and solid wood chairs. The second floor is the private rooms!
There were quite a few guests sitting upstairs and downstairs, and the waiter was so busy that he didn’t even tap his feet!

Li Sanmao saw the diners coming and going at the gate, most of them wearing silk and satin, and was a little panicked for a moment...

It's not that he is timid. After all, it's his first time here. He has never stepped into this place in his whole life, let alone eaten. I don't know what it's like inside!

Luo Zhi'er didn't feel it. She felt there was no need to feel inferior. No one in this world was inferior to anyone else. Some people were just empty shit beetles who pretended to be glamorous...

You are always yourself...

It's just that when you meet a powerful person, you have to pretend to be a grandson. Is it important to save your life?
While hesitating, Li Sanmao was accidentally hit by someone and staggered. He was almost knocked over with the basket on his back!
The man turned around and looked him up and down. He was wearing a rucksack and wearing patches on his body, which was made of coarse linen.

Another woman was holding a jar and was surprisingly fat. Her elbows were also patched. Her eyes looked at him as if she was about to breathe fire. She must be a country couple, and a look of disdain flashed in her eyes.

"I said, big brother, do you know that standing here will block the road?"

"You and this fat aunt should go in if you want to eat. Don't stand at the door. With your backpacks and huge body, you know that it will disturb others passing by?"

Li Sanmao felt that he was right and felt a little embarrassed.

But he went on to say, "Or are you just hanging around the door and looking around because you're hungry and have no money?"

These words made him feel angry instantly!

"Haha, young master, it was obviously you who hit someone, why didn't you apologize and still get angry at someone else?"

Li Sanmao said.

The corner of the young man's mouth curled up in a bad way.

"Are you still angry? You guys think you are here to beg for food, do you know it affects people's appetite!"

"Who is the beggar? You look like a human, why are you talking nonsense?"

"You're talking nonsense, do you have money to come in and eat?"

"This, you don't need to worry about this!"

"Haha, if you don't have money, don't come. This is not a place for people like you to come!"

Luo Zhi'er was holding the jar of chicken fir fungus. The more she listened, the angrier she became. She rolled her eyes at him and stared at him fiercely.
"Excuse me, this gorgeous young master, what do you mean by people like us? We are all human beings. In my opinion, there is no difference!"

"Hahaha, you're such a naughty fat woman. You're really funny. You're broad, bold and fat, so you're not any different? It's really ridiculous. I'm telling you, there is a real difference!"

The man shouted inside,
"Waiter, tell the shopkeeper that someone among you is looking for trouble. Send someone to deal with it immediately!"

"If you don't come, someone will overestimate their ability and want to eat the King's meal!"

"Hey! Come here, Mr. Huang!"

Less than a minute later, the shopkeeper came, bringing with him a group of thugs and other strong men. He looked at them fiercely and asked, "Who is making trouble?"

"You dare to cause trouble in Hongyun Tower, and you still want to eat the King's meal? You don't want to see what kind of place this is?"

"Shopkeeper Wang, it's them two!"

The man named Mr. Huang said calmly.

"Oh?"

Shopkeeper Wang looked them up and down, and Shan Yehan, who was carrying a big backpack...

A fat woman's face was completely sunburned, she was covered in sweat, her hair was stained on her face, her figure and her eyes were holding a jar, she really looked like someone who wanted to eat a king's meal...

The man seemed to be lame, and the two of them seemed to be wearing ordinary clothes. The fabric was made of low-quality linen and was so wrinkled that they didn't know how much water they had washed.

He’s not just a beggar, he’s also a lowly person from the countryside around here…

Shopkeeper Wang looked like Mr. Huang, "Who are you? Dare you come to Hongyun Tower to cause trouble?"

He looked at Luo Zhi'er and his wife, and Luo Zhi'er was also looking at him!

Tall and thin, with high cheekbones and a shrewd look in his eyes, this man is menacing and gives off a very bad feeling!
"Don't even look at where this is?"

Luo Zhi'er said: "This is the shopkeeper Wang? I've known you for a long time. It's like this. We, the couple, are not here to eat. We just have some things that we want to sell to the restaurant. I wonder if it can be convenient?"

"sell things?"

"Yes, the things we sell are very precious. The things in my jar are definitely not available in restaurants in this town!"

Shopkeeper Wang looked at her like a liar who talked freely and boasted without drafting. What kind of unique food?Does she think of him as a stupid cow?
