Chapter 23 Greedy
  Simple numbers are easy to remember. The main thing is to write ten numbers, and then add tens, hundreds, millions, and arrange them randomly.

Song Yu was extremely intelligent, and with a little memory, he mastered the trick.

Then there was the multiplication table. In just an hour, he could recite it by heart and apply what he had learned!
  Fu Bao pursed her lips and the dragon in her heart roared. She had no sense of accomplishment at all after learning it so quickly!
  woohoo~
  When Song Yu saw his little fiancée pouting, he thought she was tired, so he volunteered to study here today and study another day.

Fu Bao nodded, thinking that she would have to think about difficult questions another day, otherwise she might not be able to fool the other party.

"one two three four five six!"

Brother Chuan has learned to count to six, so congratulations!

"Brother Yu, help me cut some paper and I'll ask my mother to sew it into an account book for me so I can keep accounts."

After Fu Bao finished speaking, he threw the numbers on the ground in a daze, thinking that he knew simple traditional Chinese characters, but he hadn't finished the account books yet.

"Okay, I'll cut it right away."

Song Yu had no doubt that he was there. He didn't buy the poor-quality knife and paper, but the bookkeeper gave him a stack and asked him to practice his skills before writing on the fine rice paper.

Cut it to a suitable size and use it for accounting purposes, which is also suitable.

After Song Yu left, Brother Chuan wanted to follow him, but his sister stopped him and asked him to continue counting from one to ten!
  Wow, oh, my sister is so cruel, bullying him!

"Don't cry. I'm doing it for your own good, sister. Count to ten early and you can eat delicious meat~"

Fu Bao put his hands on his hips and imitated his mother's behavior, first being stern and then gentle.

Brother Chuan was stunned for a while, but when he was squatting, Brother Chuan suddenly farted, followed by a loud poop.

Fu Bao couldn't bear to look directly at him, so he turned around and shouted——

"Mom, my brother is pissed!"

"Hey, here we come~"

An hour later, the familiar smell of braised pork came from the kitchen.

The stinking things in the yard, as well as the stench of Chuan Geerla, have long been shoveled away, leaving only traces of plant ash on the ground.

"Cuckoo~"

The old hen laid today's eggs and walked out of the henhouse with great energy.

Brother Chuan was hot for three minutes. He stopped counting while his sister wasn't looking at him. When he saw the hen coming out of the henhouse, he drooled, pointed at the eggs in the henhouse, and shouted:

"Milk, egg, egg."

Mrs. Xu happened to take out a dustpan of plant ash. When she saw this, she put the plant ash in the corner of the yard, patted the dust on her apron, and walked towards the chicken coop.

"Brother Chuan is so smart, he knows how to remind grandma to get the eggs."

But no, if the hot eggs are not taken away in time, they might be pecked by the hens, which would be terrible!
  "Eat, eat eggs."

Brother Chuan wanted to stick to grandma, but grandma dodged him.

"Okay, I'll steam some eggs for you tomorrow."

Old Mrs. Xu's body is dirty and she doesn't want to get it on her little grandson.

"Grandma hugs~"

Brother Chuan pouts, he is disliked by his sister, and now he is disliked by his grandma?
  "No, Brother Chuan, grandma is dirty and can't hug you. Can you play with your sister?"

Mrs. Xu discussed it and coaxed her grandson for a while.

"Sister, don't play with me."

Brother Chuan shook his head. His sister asked him to count. He kept counting, feeling bored and sleepy.

Now Mrs. Xu was helpless, her palms and backs were full of flesh, so she asked her grandson to follow her, but not to be rash and to be good.

"Mmmmm~"

Brother Chuan promised well and followed grandma quietly, but everything was fine.

Song Yu cut out two pieces of paper and stacked them about a finger's width thick. After handing it over to his little fiancée, he continued his work of copying books.

The aroma coming from the kitchen made him feel more at ease.

After Fu Bao got the cut paper, he went to his mother and asked her to mend it with needle and thread.

Mrs. Liu said hello to her mother-in-law and told Brother Chuan not to run around, and then went back to the house to get needle and thread.

Fu Bao did not follow him out, but took the small matzah and sat next to his brother. Both siblings looked straight at the fragrant pot without blinking.

Humph, she's not greedy, she's just looking at her stinky brother who has some dirty tricks.

What if the smelly little brother gets enchanted by the scent, goes out of his way to cause trouble, and gets burned?
  From time to time, Mrs. Xu added firewood to the stove, and from time to time took the time to look at her two good grandchildren.

It's almost ready. Let it marinate for a while and give some to the grandchildren to try~
  As a kid, it's normal to be a little greedy.

"Guru Guru~"

As time goes by, the aroma of braised food becomes more and more overbearing.

Old Mrs. Xu thought to herself, the braised flavor was not so overbearing when it came out of the pot yesterday, why is the aroma more overbearing today?
  Oh, by the way, it’s spices. Today’s spices seem to have a few more flavors!
  No wonder!

She is becoming more and more confident in this business.

"Knock knock knock~"

"Aunt Xu, it's me, I'll trade eggs for braised meat!"

"Knock knock knock~"

"Sister-in-law Xu, open the door quickly. I can already smell the fragrance. Give me two bowls of braised food today!"

"Knock knock knock~"

The villagers who came smelling the fragrance had already gathered outside the gate of Lao Xu's courtyard.

Mrs. Liu then mended the simple account book and quickly wiped off the threads with scissors.

"Aunts, wait a moment, we will open the door right away~"

Although I was mentally prepared, I was still a little confused when it came.

"Mom, I'll keep the accounts. You'll help me prepare the braised food later. Grandma will collect the money and stuff."

Fu Bao held a few small pieces of charcoal in his hand, which were clearly visible as he spoke, and his mouth was oily. It looked like he had been fed.

Ms. Liu nodded repeatedly and handed the account book to her daughter without thinking too much.

Brother Chuan was carried to the dining table at some point. He used a small spoon to scoop up the braised meat served separately for him in a wooden bowl and ate it with gusto.

Mrs. Xu smoothed her messy bun and went to open the courtyard door with a smile.

"Squeak~"

The folks at the front all held bowls and money bags high, asking to buy braised meat.

Those in the back were folks carrying baskets and jars, apparently wanting to barter.

Old Xu's family welcomes all comers, but asks all the villagers to line up and don't crowd. Everyone has a share. There is a lot of braised food today~
  "It's so delicious. Now my grandson doesn't even eat braised pork. He wants to eat your braised pork!"

"My granddaughter is the same. What is this made of? Why is it so delicious? It's so fragrant that it makes people confused."

"Ahem, this is our family's secret recipe. We can't tell it out. It needs to be passed down from family to family."

"Hahaha, that's true. How can you ask for someone's secret recipe? Mrs. Li, don't you think so?"

"Where is it, I'm just quick to talk, just ask."

"Okay, okay, line up. I'll stand here and you stand behind. Let's go shopping and go home quickly, otherwise the little ancestors at home will make trouble~"

"Hey, get in line."

The villagers lined up in an orderly manner. After yesterday's spread, most people knew about the price. Some people wanted to confirm it again, and Mr. Xu also answered them one by one.
