delicious farm girl

Chapter 17

Since the success was achieved as soon as the shot was made, then this matter was settled like this.

Take out the smoked meat and hang it in the kitchen to cool, then Su Ran starts to cook dinner.The main course tonight is, of course, bacon.Mr. Yuan and Li Er were very supportive and ate half of the smoked rabbit until there were no bones left.

After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms, washed their faces, soaked their feet and went to sleep.

Su Ran lay beside Li Er, after much deliberation, she still said to him: "There is one thing I haven't told you."

Li Er looked down at her.

Su Ran said: "Two years ago, I suffered from a serious illness. After waking up, my mind was empty and I didn't remember anything. At that time, people were just like fools, dumb, unable to speak, I didn’t even know how to move for a long time. After years of recuperation, I barely returned to normal.”

Li Er's eyes darkened. "Why?"

He was asking her why she did this.Su Ran smiled lightly: "I heard from Brother Quan that during the slack season, my uncle thought it was not good for me to eat rice at home, so he asked me to work in his foot shop in the town. During the day, I was busy in the foot shop. I have to be my cousin's maid when I go back at night, and I am called around by her. Once I was very tired and didn't want to serve her, so she got angry and insisted that I stole a pair of earrings from her and grabbed me. Hit me. When I was arguing with her, she pushed me down and knocked my head on the steps. I was almost out of breath. Later, it was my mother and brother Quan who refused to bury me and insisted on taking me home , I picked herbs from the mountains to apply to my wounds, and kept calling me by my side, so I got my life back."

After Li Er heard this, he immediately stretched out his arms and hugged her tightly.

Su Ran also leaned in his arms, listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat, her heart felt extra solid.

Early the next morning, Li Er went up the mountain again.Su Ran continued to make bacon in the kitchen.

Because it was close to the end of the year and the private school was on holiday, Brother An and Brother Quan took turns to look at the wheat in the field every day. Brother An was fine today, so he came to Su Ran to play with his sister.Su Ran conveniently gave him a smoked chicken leg to eat.

At noon, Su Ran also handed over the half smoked rabbit left over from last night to An Ge'er, asking him to take it back and add food to the family.

An hour after An Ge'er went back, Mrs. Huang quietly came over.

Seeing that Su Ran was still busy, she took the initiative to help her daughter light the fire.Although she still has a straight face, she doesn't seem to be so opposed to this matter from her expression.

But seeing that Su Ran used up all the seasonings she bought in one go, she was still in pain.Finally, she couldn't help admonishing Su Ran again: "Let me tell you, just this time! Take advantage of the Chinese New Year, make some bacon and sell it on the street, and get back some New Year's money. Don't mess with me at other times, With good money in my hands, how good is it to buy acres of land? I have been worrying about you these days. My son-in-law has no land under his name. It is not an option to go up the mountain every day to cut firewood. We farmers still have a few Acres of land, it’s more practical to plant some rice and wheat in a peaceful manner!”

"Well, mother, what you said is that we also have plans for this matter." Su Ran nodded quickly.

Seeing her agreeing so readily, Mrs. Huang was relieved.

In fact, with only ten pennies worth of seasoning, you can only make ten smoked rabbits and ten smoked chickens.

After everything was done, Su Ran and Li Er pushed the meat to the town again.An happened to meet Brother Quan again today, he was all right, he was jumping and shouting to come to town with his sister and brother-in-law, but Mrs. Huang couldn't hold him back, and Su Ran and Li Er didn't like taking a child to the street together. If he objected, he was called to come with him.

The couple pushed the cart to the market, asked Libao to pay for the position, and hung out the smoked rabbit and smoked chicken in the basket, and officially started to set up a stall.

The couple got up before dawn, and the sun had just come out when they arrived in the town, which happened to be the time when the older girls and daughter-in-laws of each household came out to buy vegetables.One after another, the seats around them were filled up by people selling all kinds of side dishes.The shouts sounded one after another, and the whole street became extremely lively.

But compared with the bustle around, Su Ran and Li Er seemed a little embarrassed.After all, both of them don't like to talk. Although Su Ran has been talking a little more recently, she is still much worse than the eloquent small businessmen around her.

Seeing that people on both sides were trying their best to solicit business, but his sister and brother-in-law were standing there like logs, making such delicious meat without selling a catty in a long time, Brother Quan was in a hurry.

"Sister and brother-in-law, you can't just stand there, you have to shout! These days, if you are doing business, you don't shout, how can you invite customers to come to your door!"

Su Ran frowned, she turned to look at Li Er.Li Er still had a straight face, standing there like an iron tower, and he didn't intend to speak at all.

Brother Quan saw it, so he stomped his feet. "Forget it, it's not good to count on the two of you, I'll help you!"

As he said that, he opened his voice and shouted loudly: "Bacon, bacon is on sale! Delicious bacon costs ten cents a catty, and if it's not good, you don't need money!"

He let go of his voice to yell, but he didn't expect someone to be attracted by the yelling.

"Are you bacon?" A woman came over with a basket on her shoulders.Su Ran saw that she was the proprietress of the noodle shop they had seen last time.

Su Ran nodded quickly. "Yes, smoked rabbit and smoked pheasant."

"I've never eaten this bacon, but I don't know if it's delicious?" the proprietress asked with a smile.

"Of course it's delicious! My sister's cooking skills are very good, I'll keep you wanting to eat it!" Brother Quan hurriedly interjected.Thinking of the meat he ate yesterday, he couldn't help swallowing.

Of course, there was no basis for the words, Su Ran quickly took a knife and cut a small piece of meat and handed it to her: "Sister, you will know after eating."

The proprietress took it and ate it, and nodded immediately: "It's really good! It tastes very different from my stewed meat. How much is it for a catty?"

"It's all ten cents a catty." Su Ran said hastily.

"Okay, give me a chicken and a rabbit." The landlady said proudly.

When Su Ran heard this, she was overjoyed, and quickly weighed the two fattest chickens and rabbits for her.Rabbits weigh three catties, chickens weigh two catties and one tael, so the total is five catties.

The proprietress paid the money readily, collected the things and went to continue selling vegetables elsewhere.

On Su Ran's side, she finally opened her first business and sold a whole chicken and a whole rabbit in one go, earning a full [-] Wen. She and Su Quan couldn't be happier.

Carefully holding the fifty cents to Li Er, she said to him happily, "Look, there are really people who are willing to buy our things!"

Li Er hummed, and continued to stand there like an iron tower.

Su Ran carefully put away the fifty coins, and Su Quan was greatly encouraged, and continued to solicit business with a loud voice.

After the opening, people came to see it one after another.But after all, everyone is not rich. Some people tasted it and thought it was good, and the price was indeed not expensive, so they bought a few catties back.If you can buy half a rabbit and half a chicken, that's a lot of money.

However, just selling them out by the catty by catty, their ten smoked rabbits and ten smoked chickens seemed to be sold out.

According to this situation, the things they brought should be sold out by noon.

When the three of them thought of this, they were all in a particularly good mood.

However, they were busy selling bacon, but they didn't know that someone was already watching them in a nearby tavern.

On the second floor of the tavern, a young man sitting on the side facing the street looked at Su Fu who was facing him with a look of hatred on his face. He asked curiously, "Who are those three people? I think you hate them so much!"

"They are my enemies!" Su Fu said immediately, "These three are not good things. Our family was almost killed by them!"

"Really? Then you have to take revenge on them!" the boy said.

"I really want to! But have you seen that man? He is so tall and strong, he can lift me up and throw me away with one hand. If it wasn't for this man, I would have wiped out that family long ago Already!" Su Fu said angrily.

"Isn't it just a man who is taller and stronger? You can't help him, but I have it!" the boy said cheerfully.

Su Fu hurriedly slapped the table. "Man, this banquet is on my account!"

Seeing how sensible he is, the boy nodded in satisfaction. "Now you just wait here, I'll go down for a while, and I'll be right back."

"Okay! I just ordered two more dishes that you like. When you come back later, the dishes will be delivered. Let's eat together!" Su Fu said hurriedly.

The boy was immediately more satisfied.

Not long after the meeting, Su Ran saw Li Bao leading a group of people coming here aggressively.

She couldn't help but her heart sank, and she glanced at Li Er quietly.

Li Er slowly moved his steps and stood beside her.

After a short meeting, this group of people really stood in front of them.The woman who was asking the price just now saw the situation, and quickly ran away with the basket.

Li Bao's face was ferocious, and he yelled aggressively: "Who allowed you to set up a stall here? There has been a rule in the town for a long time. If you want to set up a stall here to sell things, you have to pay me first! If you don't pay, Do you dare to come over and set up a stall? Do you think I'm idle?"

"We paid the money! I gave you the money when we first came here!" Brother Quan said quickly.

"Have you handed it over? Where is the note?" Li Bao asked.

Su Ran took out the note received from him in the morning and handed it over.

Ribao took it over and took a look. "Fake!" It was torn to pieces with three blows.

"What are you doing? You, you are called destroying corpses and eradicating traces!" Brother Quan turned red with anger when he saw it.

Ribao raised his eyebrows. "I haven't asked you to settle my account for forging my note. You kid still dare to talk back to me? Are you impatient?"

As he spoke, he raised his fist and pretended to hit brother Quan.

But as soon as he stretched out his arm, he was stopped by someone.

Li Er didn't know when he made the move. He grabbed the man's arm and looked at him coldly.

Li Bao grinned in pain, he tried his best to pull his arm back, but Li Er's hand seemed to be gently pinching his arm, motionless, no matter how hard he pulled it, he couldn't pull it back .
