Reborn farmhouse cannon fodder girl as group pet

Chapter 57 Insect Pests
After sending the two children back to Xiangmanyuan, she went to the county government office and didn't see Xiaofan for several days. I wonder if she's picky about food and thin again?
Seeing her coming, Zhou Da greeted her: "Miss, you haven't come for several days, the master and the young master have been talking about you a lot."

"I have something to do at home these few days, so I don't have time to come here, where is Xiaofan?" Tong Zhuzhu asked.

"The young master is learning calligraphy in the backyard, do you want me to call him?" Zhou Da said happily.

"No, I'll go find him myself." She wanted to surprise him, and didn't want to interrupt his handwriting practice.

She slowed down and approached the study room lightly, only to see a small body with a straight posture, holding a brush in her hand, and was seriously writing something stroke by stroke.

Unexpectedly, Xiaofan's serious appearance is quite serious, he really looks like a noble son.

"Ahem, I don't see that Xiaofan's handwriting is so good-looking." She said softly.

When Wang Xiufan heard the voice, he stood up immediately: "Sister, why are you here? I miss you, you haven't seen me for many days."

Listening to the little guy's complaints, she was also a little helpless: "Isn't my sister busy with letting An'an and Lele come to town to study, so are you picky about food?"

"What, An An and Le Le came to the town to study? Great, can I go and play with them?" Wang Xiufan was so excited that he jumped up. Since returning home, he has no playmates and misses An An very much. And Lele.

"You, don't worry, they are in Xiangman Garden, you can go to play with them, you haven't answered my question yet." Tong Zhuzhu looked helplessly at this younger brother who only wanted to play.

"Sister, don't worry, I'm not picky eaters, I eat well, but I still miss your cooking." After speaking, she looked like a greedy cat.

Tong Zhuzhu was planning to cook something delicious, for fear that he would be picky again: "Okay, practice your handwriting well, I'll go and see my godfather, and I'll cook something delicious for you in a while."

"Yeah, I want to finish writing quickly." Wang Xiufan quickly sat down on the chair and began to practice handwriting seriously.

Seeing this, she felt relieved and went to find Wang Weiqing.

In the study room, Wang Weiqing was reading with a piece of paper. After reading, his brows were furrowed, and there was only worry in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

She saw this scene the moment she came, did she encounter something that she couldn't solve?

"Godfather?" She called out, but there was no response.

"Godfather, what's the matter with you?" He yelled again with a slightly higher volume.

Only then did Wang Weiqing come back to his senses, and saw that it was the adopted daughter who had arrived. He was distracted by his thoughts and didn't realize it, so he said a little embarrassedly:
"Tong girl, just now godfather was distracted and didn't hear you call me."

"It's okay, godfather. I'll come and see you. I see that you look very worried. Did something happen?" She asked worriedly.

Wang Weiqing felt that this girl was usually extremely intelligent, and she had weird ideas one after another, and if I showed her one after another, there might be some unexpected surprises.

He handed her the paper in his hand, and he saw that the girl was literate when he read the paperwork in the shop.

Tong Zhuzhu took it over to check. It was a letter paper, which probably meant that there was a pest infestation in a place called An County. The insect was the size of a woman's fist, powerful and fierce. It loved to eat crops and ruined food. The local people were miserable. However, some villagers were so angry that they stoned several of them to death, but the number of them was astonishing, and they could not be killed. The county magistrate reported it to the court, but there was no solution for a long time.

This An County parent officer and Wang Weiqing are classmates and close friends, and they wrote to ask him if there is anything he can do.

Seeing this, she realized that her godfather was a good official who put people's livelihood first. The people of An County suffered from pests and had no harvest for a year. I don't know how many people would starve to death. Naturally, she couldn't bear it.

Looking at it further, it was a portrait of a bug. She looked at it for a long time before she saw some tricks.

Why does this thing look so... crayfish?She is a little uncertain, no, it seems to be a little different, except for the pair of big pliers, this thing is not very similar, the body is round, and I don't know what color it is, so she can't make a definition, right? The crayfish she was familiar with.

However, even if she was skeptical, she wanted to see it in person. If it was really edible, no matter if it was crayfish or not, it would also save the people of An County by the way, and her braised meat shop would have a new menu.

She was secretly thinking about the top ten ways to eat crayfish, such as oily, garlic, and spicy, which are absolutely irresistible, and her mouth is watering.

Wang Weiqing was a little baffled, feeling at a loss as to where he was and what he was doing, why did this girl seem to be drooling?
Shaking her hand in front of her eyes, she yelled worriedly: "Girl? What's wrong?"

Only then did Tong Zhuzhu come back to her senses, and the first sentence she said was: "Godfather, let's go to An County together?"

Hearing what she said, Wang Weiqing beamed with joy: "Girl, is there anything you can do?"

"It's nothing, I think this thing might be edible, so I want to see what it looks like and whether it's suitable for cooking?" She said crisply.

Wang Weiqing almost fell over when he heard these words, his mouth was so thunderous that he almost didn't close his mouth.

This girl... really loves to eat, she can think of eating anything, and she is not afraid of this strange insect?I have to go and see for myself. I don’t know if the bug is afraid if it knows it?
But it's a good thing after all. Although this method is a bit peculiar, if it can be eaten, it will not solve the problem.

The two decided to leave for An County after three days. The main reason is that An County is a long way from them. Even if they take the water, it will take a whole day. Finding two helpers is a lot of work.

After discussing things, Wang Xiufan happened to come to her: "Sister, what are you talking about with Dad? I have been waiting for a long time, what are you going to eat today?"

"Little greedy cat, what do you want to eat? I'll do what you say?" Tong Zhuzhu replied dotingly.

He tilted his head and thought for a while: "Sister, I don't know what to eat. It was fun to make beggar chicken last time. This time we also eat fun things. I haven't seen it before, can I?"

This kid is really demanding. He wants fun and delicious food. What kind of food is fun and delicious?She quickly recalled the food in her mind.

"Hey, yes, isn't outdoor barbecue fun and delicious? And I haven't eaten it for a long time, so I will eat this today."

With an idea, she dragged Wang Xiufan to the kitchen and began to prepare the meat and vegetables for the barbecue.

Ask Zhou Da to build her a simple stove with stone slabs in the yard for burning charcoal, and ask him to find a bamboo and chop it into small bamboo sticks with a knife.

I prepared a few catties of pork belly, cut into thin slices, put on some chicken legs, and marinated two fish. Besides the meat, I also prepared some potato chips, eggplant, and dried tofu.
