Fulai rolled his eyes, seemed to have thought of something, and said tentatively: "It's not impossible for Mrs. Zhong to go if she wants to go. As long as the third master is with her, there will be no problem. Moreover, a new batch of goods will be released next month, and I'm afraid it will be very crowded by then." lively."

After he said this, he kept observing her expression, but there was no change in her face from the beginning to the end.

This made him a little confused.

What is the relationship between Mrs. Zhong and the Third Master?
Zhong Chuchu felt like a mirror in her heart. After all, she was not a real village woman. She could see the other party's temptation at a glance, and she felt a little interested in Qin Ye's identity.

Zhong Chuchu did not answer the conversation, but pretended to be casually strolling around the store.

Now take out this piece and look at it, and then take out that piece and look at it.

I also asked some questions about jade from time to time.

Fulai stayed by his side and explained patiently.

"Shopkeeper Fu, how did you sell this bracelet?"

She fell in love with a fat round bracelet with light green flowers on it. It made her arms look slender and made her skin look much whiter.

"It seems Mrs. Zhong is also an expert!" Shopkeeper Fu gave a thumbs up.

Zhong Chuchu knew in her heart that this was the common saying of almost all businessmen. No matter what the situation, it was always right to praise him first.

"If you like it, take it and I'll give you the best price."

"Thank you so much, Shopkeeper Fu!" She smiled and thanked her.

In the end, she won the jade bracelet for one, one, two, and five cents.

When paying the bill, shopkeeper Fu kept praising her, which made her a little uncomfortable.

Bracelets are not cheap. If you save a little, they can already be enough for an ordinary family to live for half a year.

She spent nearly four taels of silver in one day. If others found out, they would definitely accuse her of being a prodigal.

But Zhong Chuchu is too lazy to care about this. If he cares about what others say, wouldn't he be exhausted to death?
After coming out of the Jade Room, she quietly put the jade bracelet into her bracelet.

Walking on the street, a cold wind blew by, and even though I was wearing thermal underwear, I couldn't help but shiver.

Zhong Chuchu didn’t know whether winters were cold in previous years, but judging from the current weather conditions, many people might freeze to death this winter!

She sighed, even though she felt that her worries were too unnecessary, her life had not been smoothed out yet, and she still had the time to care about the lives of others.

She was thinking wildly along the way, when she came to a fork in the road.

Suddenly I saw a lot of people gathered in front of me, and bursts of noise were coming from the front.

She took a closer look out of curiosity and saw that it was a strong man with a beard selling mutton at a stall!
The strong man is very tall, and at a glance you can tell that he is a practicing practitioner who exercises regularly.

Look at the bulging muscles on his arms, which have bulged up his sleeves.

He was pushing a two-wheeled cart, on which was placed a slaughtered sheep.

Many women gathered around the cart, already making selections.

"It's actually a sheep!"

Her eyes were almost shining. Although there were sheep in her blue star, she would not kill them, and she had no excuse to take them out now. It was great to have sheep now.

This kind of weather is really the best for eating mutton!
She didn't take out the mutton, mainly because there were very few people raising sheep in the surrounding villages, and mutton was rarely sold in the town. It was rare to encounter one selling mutton. No wonder the business was so good.

It took some effort for her to squeeze into the crowd.

Mutton costs eighteen cents per catty, which is nearly twice as expensive as pork, but it is extremely popular.

After finally meeting it, she bought a full ten kilograms generously. Anyway, she had a blue star bracelet, so she wasn't worried about it breaking.The strong man who sold the meat saw that she was pretty and that she was generous when shopping, so he generously cut more meat for her when he butchered it.

Zhong Chuchu felt very happy, this was another benefit from her appearance.

Carrying the mutton and rushing home, when she was nearing the door of her home, she looked around and saw that no one was nearby, so she put seven or eight kilograms of mutton into the bracelet.

It's winter, and it gets dark early. In order to save some lamp oil, many people have dinner earlier.

At this moment, the whole street was already filled with smoke.

When she returned home, she saw that Zhao Mei was still there, and the two little guys were feeding chickens in the yard with her.

She said hello and took the mutton to the kitchen. She saw that the pot was covered with a lid and a small fire was still simmering in the stove.

Opening the lid of the pot, there was fried rice with lard residue at the bottom, and a plate of fried wild vegetables on top.

I originally thought about packing up the mutton and eating it tonight, but now I can only make do with one bite.

During this time, Zhao Mei helped her family with work. Not only did she complete all the tasks assigned to her, but she also took good care of her two children.

She couldn't just let people work without paying her, she had to figure out how much she would be paid.

Paying too little would make her look stingy, but paying too much would not work. As a widow with two and a half-year-old children, and without a man to support her at home, being too high-profile would easily attract people's attention.

It's not that she doesn't believe in the Zhao family, it's that she doesn't believe anyone.

Human nature is better not to be tempted easily.

While thinking about this, Zhong Chuchu put all the mutton into the bracelet.

After washing her hands, she invited everyone to eat.

Zhao Mei was still a little restrained when she sat at the table. There was only half a bowl of rice in her bowl every time, and she never refilled it.

For her, she is very lucky to have such an opportunity to eat.

Aunt Zhong's family can still eat three meals a day, but most families in the town have already resumed two meals a day after the busy farming season.

One meal in the morning, one in the afternoon, and no fire at noon.

She buried her head and ate in small bites.

However, Zhong Chuchu didn't know how to taste the food. She was hungry for mutton soup and couldn't eat the oily rice in the bowl.

Zhao Mei saw that the rice in her bowl had not been touched, and her heart tightened. Could it be that the food she cooked was not delicious?
But she turned around and saw the two children, Dabao and Xiaobao, eating with gusto, their mouths full of oil.

So he asked tentatively: "Aunt Zhong, is the food I cooked not to your liking? How about I fry another egg for you?"

Zhong Chuchu shook her head: "No, you eat, don't worry about me, I just have no appetite for the time being."

As she said that, she stood up and put the bowl into the kitchen. When she came out, she said to her: "Xiaomei, come into the study and find me after you finish eating. I have something to tell you."

After saying that, she went into the house, leaving Zhao Mei alone with her thoughts. Did she do something wrong?Or does Aunt Zhong think I eat too much and doesn't want me to help her family anymore?
She was so anxious that even the rice in the bowl no longer tasted good.

Zhong Chuchu entered the study and closed the door. As soon as she sat down, she left and took out the jade bracelet she bought in the afternoon from the Blue Star Bracelet.

The quality of the jade bracelet is not too high, but if you want to put it in modern times, there is no small thing that you can't get.

Shopkeeper Fulai gave her half of the money, probably for Qin Ye's sake.

She became more and more curious about Qin Ye.
