Farmer's pretty businesswoman

Chapter 11
"Okay, thank you so much, shopkeeper." Shangguan Chuchu didn't say much, but stood up to take back the jade pendant, fisted with both hands, turned and left.

After leaving the pawnshop, Hao Qiancheng couldn't take it any longer when he was depressed. He stretched out his hand to hold Shangguan Chuchu's arm tightly, and said, "Chuchu, you better not pawn this jade pendant. If we don't have the money to redeem it when it's due, , so what should I do? Of course, it’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s because…”

"Hush...don't say any more, I understand. Believe me, I only want your trust and support." Seeing Hao Qiancheng's heavy nod, Shangguan Chuchu smiled, and said, "Also, sister."

"elder sister?"

"You shouldn't call me Chuchu anymore, you should call me sister."

As night falls, the bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the moonlight shines on the beach, shining silver, like silver sand all over the ground.

The waves crashed against the rocks, crashing.

There are two lights on the beach that are constantly moving, and from time to time there is a pleasant conversation between a man and a woman.

"Chuchu, look, I have a really big crab here." Hao Qiancheng carried a bamboo basket, quickly grabbed a big crab, and shook it as if asking for credit.

Shangguan Chuchu held the bamboo basket in one hand and the lantern in the other, walked towards him, and said, "Sister, you forgot to change your words again."

"Huh?" With black lines in his head, Hao Qiancheng really didn't understand. Since the market in the afternoon, she has been emphasizing that he should change his mind.The mouth opened and closed, closed and opened again, finally opened the mouth, discussed with a smile, and said: "Chuchu, why don't you be so serious, okay? I'm used to calling your name."

"No! Seniors and children are orderly. You have to call me sister. Otherwise, what's the matter with me living in Hao's house? What will others think of us? If you are not used to it, you have to call it. You will get used to it after calling it a few times."

There was no room for negotiation, Shangguan Chuchu rejected him immediately.She doesn't care what outsiders think, but she understands that doing so can not only wither the sprouting seed in Hao Qiancheng's heart, but also reassure Hao Yeshi.

Probe to look at Hao Qiancheng's bamboo basket, and saw that it was covered with crabs of all sizes.Good guy, as expected of growing up by the sea, he has caught a big bamboo basket in such a short time, if he catches two big bamboo baskets tonight, it will probably weigh more than ten catties.

She asked Hao Qiancheng at the market today if there were any crabs to catch by the sea. After getting the answer, she went to the seasoning shop to buy some pepper, chili noodles and other seasonings, and planned to use crabs as her first-hand ingredients.

"Chuchu, are you catching these crabs for frying?"

"Huh?" Shangguan Chuchu's final voice was drawn out, and he looked at Hao Qiancheng with piercing eyes.

"Huh?" Hao Qiancheng scratched his head in distress, and said in a low voice, "Sister."

There's no way, who made him feel so unhappy?So, just shout, and you won't lose a catty of meat, but you are really unhappy in your heart.

"Hey, so cute!" She smiled like a flower, and under the moonlight, her neat white teeth sparkled Hao Qiancheng's eyes and hurt his heart.Shangguan Chuchu is not a 16-year-old girl, she has the thoughts of a 30-year-old steady woman in her mind, so she can see through the secret hidden in Hao Qiancheng's eyes at a glance?

However, if you know it, you have to pretend not to know it.

This will never be possible.

"I'm going to sell the pickled crabs at the market stall." Swallowing, Shangguan Chuchu couldn't help but burst out laughing as she remembered the delicious pickled crabs she had eaten in her previous life.The method of marinating crab is simple, and the seasoning is not complicated. The marinated crab tastes fresh and tender, and it is really delicious.

Opening his mouth wide, Hao Qiancheng asked again suspiciously: "Can this kind of crab be salted? Can it be sold for money?" He was really suspicious. This kind of crab is everywhere on the beach at night, and people never know it. They are mainly eaten with more shells and less meat.They are usually afraid of eating seafood, how can they eat such meatless things.

"Believe me, if I say yes, then yes. Hurry up and catch them, and we will go home when we are full."

The two of them no longer just chatted, but quickly grabbed them. After a while, their bamboo baskets were filled with crabs, and they returned home talking and laughing all the way.In order not to disturb Hao Ye's sleep, they carried water and poured the crabs into the big wooden basin to wash.

"Qiancheng, you go to the kitchen and help me boil a pot of boiling water. I'll wash these crabs." Shangguan Chuchu lit the dim oil lamp and used a homemade hay brush to scrub the fat crabs.

The crabs were crawling around in the wooden basin, Shangguan Chuchu brushed them skillfully, and after brushing, he threw them into the wooden bucket beside him.Seeing her skillful movements, Hao Qiancheng couldn't help but frowned, why is his stomach full?I can't figure it out.

What is the origin of Chuchu?Her words and deeds in the market during the day make people think that she is a very well-bred girl who can read and write.But her current appearance makes people think that she is a girl who can do rough work. The combination of these two things is really contradictory.

Generally, ladies from rich families don't know how to do these rough jobs, but she not only knows how, but is also very quick.

Generally, girls from small families can't read and write, but she not only knows it, but is also very good at it.

"Why don't you go?"

"Oh, I'll be right there."

"Keep down, don't wake up the godmother."

"understand."

"Chu... Oh, sister, is this the way to go?" Looking at the crabs in the two big jars, Hao Qiancheng asked suspiciously.

He just watched Shangguan Chuchu add some salt, a little wine, a little Chinese prickly ash, some chili peppers, ginger, and shallots to the cold boiled water first, and then put the dancing crabs into it.

He really couldn't figure it out, could he marinate the crabs and eat them?

Shangguan Chuchu looked at the two big jars in front of him with satisfaction, waved his hand, and said, "Whether it will be successful or not, we will know in two days. Now help me move all the jars to a cool place in the kitchen, and then hurry up Go back to the house and go to bed, we have to go to the market again tomorrow morning."

"Is it really a jade pendant?"

"It's only temporary, don't you listen to me too? It's only a month, trust me."

"Well, I believe in you! If we work together, we will be able to redeem the jade pendant soon." Hao Qiancheng nodded heavily, and immediately promised to work together and share weal and woe.

A sense of warmth flowed through his heart, Shangguan patted him on the shoulder delicately, nodded and said: "Okay! Our sister and brother are of the same mind, and we will definitely be able to break gold with our benefits. Come on!"

"Come on!" They looked at each other and smiled. Although the moonlight was not bright enough, they could still see the firmness in each other's eyes.
