Madam, go home and farm

Chapter 43

The county town is much more lively than the town, with people coming and going on the streets, hawkers and shops on both sides are greeting customers, not to mention the restaurants, restaurants, there are also quite a few.

Old man Wang asked everyone to get out of the cart. He led the donkey and walked ahead, avoiding the passing pedestrians, entering the alley from time to time, playing around, making people dizzy.There are two relatively large restaurants in the county, which are on the same street. The two main businesses are different, so it can't be called vicious competition.

Old man Wang went to the back kitchen named "Zhenweilou", knocked on the door, and a young man opened the door immediately. Hearing that they were here to sell wild boars, he immediately asked them to come in. I left in an alley, and went to another restaurant "Hongyan Lou", where Hong Haocheng, the youngest of the Hong family, worked as a cook.

Shopkeeper Lin of Zhenweilou is chubby and always has a smiling face. He looks like a Maitreya Buddha. He carefully inspected the condition of the wild boar, and he was sure that it died today. It didn’t smell or rot. He was satisfied. nodded.

"Our Zhenwei Building has always collected all kinds of wild game, and the price is the most reasonable. This whole wild boar is worth two yuan more than that one, twelve yuan. If my wife agrees, I will have it weighed." Shopkeeper Lin laughed. Hehe said, the weather is hot recently, and there are fewer game meats, and wild boars are even rarer. Today's luck is really good.

Just after Mrs. Wu left, Puhuang had some inquiries with old man Wang, and learned that the willow hunter had also sold the prey here, so he nodded immediately, "The shopkeeper is sincere, the price is according to what you said."

Shopkeeper Lin liked it so straightforward, so he had someone come to weigh it right away. It was 260 taels, and after erasing the odds of two taels, it was calculated to be three taels and 150 four cents. Shopkeeper Lin directly gave 160 cents, which is an integer.

After getting the money, Puhuang immediately gave old man Wang the fare, and gave him a few pennies for tea and other meetings, and she wanted to buy something.

For Puhuang's generosity, old man Wang squinted his eyes happily, women like to be fussy, it's rare to meet such a straightforward person, they said hello repeatedly, told the meeting place, and the two separated.

After leaving the back kitchen, she walked to the street, saw the bustling people coming and going, smelled the aroma of the food, she couldn't help rubbing her stomach, she was really hungry, and was about to go shopping and go home early , suddenly thought of Wu.She made a detour to the back kitchen of that restaurant, turned a corner, checked her energy, and happened to see a short and fat man coming out to meet Mrs. Wu.

"Mother, why are you here? Are you busy this afternoon?" Hong Haocheng asked a little impatiently as he wiped his face with the white cloth towel around his neck.

"This is the case. A few days ago, a family in this county went to the village to inquire about the character of the little girl. They didn't want something to happen. Those gossip women made up random arrangements, which made people misunderstand. No, I will I just want you to inquire more about it, so I can find a way to remedy it!" Mrs. Wu rubbed her hands, this matter cannot be messed up.

Hong Haocheng frowned, and was about to say a few words about Mrs. Wu, when he suddenly heard someone shouting inside, saying that there was something he needed to cook, so he replied, and he urged Mrs. Wu: "Mother, tell me about the situation at that house, when you are free." I'll ask my wife to help me find out."

"It is said that the family has a house with three entrances and three shops. If you can find out where the younger sister is, it must be that the younger sister saw it when she was living with your second aunt. You can help me look."

"Mother, you are really troublesome. Since you met at Second Aunt's place, you can go directly to Second Aunt." Hong Haocheng said impatiently.

"It's not that you don't know about your second aunt, she can't wait to grab my braids and make fun of me, it's over, go to your business, inquire as soon as possible, I'll come back in a few days." Wu waved her hand, Seeing Hong Haocheng enter the door, he pursed his lips, smelling the fragrance coming from there, he couldn't help but smacked on the ground, "I raised a son, and I don't think about whether my mother has money to eat, it's really a waste of money."

Withdrawing her mental strength, Pu Huang couldn't help raising her eyebrows. She didn't expect that Wu's family would really not give up. Thinking about that family, the so-called right family is just a joke, or those who don't know the right family. Looking at Hong Xiaomei's character, Can you not be scared away?

The Wu family's mother and daughter are still whimsical, but she can really pick things up when she speaks, and she didn't mention Hong Hao'an's separation. Is it possible that Hong Haocheng will also mention the separation?

Pu Huang shook his head, no longer thinking about it, and no matter where Wu shi went, he hurried to buy the things he needed. He had already bought a lot in the town. Now that he moved, he realized that some things were missing. It was inconvenient, so I went to buy two large vats, bought a wheelchair last time, bought a ready-made wooden barrel, added some seasonings and a small mortar, and hurried back to the appointed place.

No, Wu gave her a big "surprise" there.

"Pay the meat money." Mrs. Wu said to Puhuang as if she glanced at Puhuang, her tone was very arrogant.

Pu Huang put the things in his hands on the car, and then carefully looked at the woman next to Mrs. Wu. She was strong and strong, wearing a greasy apron, and there were a lot of scum on her hair.

The woman laughed, and the flesh on her face trembled, "Ma'am, this pork leg is 120 cents a catty, and that one is a little more than seven catties. The total is [-] cents. You can give me a round number."

Pu Huang watched as Wu Shi sat in the car on his own, carefully guarding the pork leg, as if he was afraid that Pu Huang would be snatched away, this Wu really planned well, went to buy the meat by himself, and took it away. The boss came to ask her for money, and she was stupid to be taken advantage of.

"Mother, look, I bought these things with all the money I have on my body, and it's not enough for 120 renminbi. Look at it, why don't you return it? Next time I'll go down the river and catch a fish and send it to you." Pu Huang glanced at Wang. The old man said carefully.

"Little hooves, you will have no money. The big wild boar was sold for three taels of silver just now. I can't get it out for a mere hundred yuan. Are you reluctant to buy a pig leg for your mother-in-law?" Wu said sharply. The voice cursed.

The woman's eyes lit up when she heard about the big wild boar, and she looked at Puhuang with sparkling eyes, "Ma'am, you see my shop is busy, let's pay the money first, and you can negotiate on your own."

"Sorry, wait a minute." Puhuang smiled and said to Wu: "Mother, if you don't want to return, I will borrow it from my second aunt. It is said that the cousin's shop is not far from here, and it only takes a moment to go back and forth." The Kung Fu of the clock." As he said, he turned around and was about to leave.

When Mrs. Wu heard this, she became anxious, and let Second Aunt Wu know about this matter, it would be fine, and she would definitely be laughed at for the rest of her life, "Stop, dare to call and try, and see if I don't break your leg."

Pu Huang withdrew his striding foot, watched Wu Shi unwillingly take out a hundred Wen from his purse and put it in the woman's hand, squinted at Pu Huang, "I have so much, the rest you Just pay it, if it’s not enough for a hundred wen, there’s always twenty wen.”

The corners of Pu Huang's mouth twitched, this Wu family really is not reconciled if she doesn't take advantage of her, she took out [-] Wen to the lady in the butcher shop, the [-] Wen was given away, she must get it back Impossible, but it will be deducted from the annual ceremony in the future, even if the game she hits, don't even think about her taking the initiative to pay tribute.

This kind of person can't be tolerated. If it weren't for the large vats and wooden barrels that she bought this time, it was not easy to hold with her hands, she would have walked back by herself, and there are many people coming and going around here, watching the excitement It's quite a lot, so she won't pay the [-] Wen, and next time, she will leave the picker and leave.

But the car I took this time belonged to Old Man Wang. In the future, if someone rides in his car and speaks ill of me, Old Man Wang will definitely defend himself. No matter what Wu Shi does in the future, she will be the mother-in-law who bullies her daughter-in-law.

When we returned to the village, it was half past noon, and Hong Haoan sat near the door, looking into the distance a little restlessly, fearing that Puhuang would have a dispute with the Wu family and be wronged.

Carefully observing Puhuang's expression, seeing nothing unusual, Hong Haoan heaved a sigh of relief. Watching Puhuang move things into the house, he was annoyed that he could not help, so he could only serve her a bowl of fen to cool down after she finished her work. boiled water: "Lady, drink some water to quench your thirst."

Puhuang was also polite, she took it and drank it in a few gulps. She was really thirsty, "If you're hungry, I'll cook right away."

"Miss, don't worry, you can rest first." Hong Hao'an got off the wheelchair and said hastily.

"It's okay, I'm not tired." Puhuang also discovered that the money earned from hunting is not so easy. Now, it is possible to earn the same thing, and try everything, and you will always find business opportunities.

Thinking of the forgotten sack, Puhuang picked it up and saw that the cuts of the two snakes had changed color. After thinking about it, he decided to send a pheasant and a hare to Xu's family in the afternoon. Many busy.

"By the way, I forgot to say something." Puhuang straightened up, turned to look at Hong Haoan behind him, "I originally thought of killing the wild boar and giving some to Uncle Lizheng and the clan elders, but If you make such a fuss about my mother, I'll sell it and exchange it for silver, don't you mind?"

"You don't need to feel guilty. I intended to sell it. Lizheng and the clan elders, well, the fish last time was good. If you can get a rabbit, it would be better to add two more." Hong Haoan thought hard. , How to prepare the thank you gift, he can't help with those manual tasks, so let's help with what he can do.

"That's right. Let me see if there are any other animals. It would be great if I can hunt deer. The venison should be very good." Puhuang said with a sigh. It was impossible to eat some animals in the previous life. But this is ancient times, and the resources are relatively abundant, but it is not a big problem to hunt too much.

When Hong Haoan heard this, his face turned pale all of a sudden, "No, those are all in the depths of Wo Niu Mountain, it's too dangerous, you are not allowed to take risks."

"Hey, it's a pity these two snake galls. I still want to sell them. I don't want to forget. I'll put them on the roof to dry them." Hearing what Hong Haoan said, Pu Huang quietly stuck out his tongue, and the bloody Put two dark green snake gallbladders on a porcelain plate with both hands, and put them on the roof to dry.
