"Did I say it's free? Hurry up and buy it, I'm so bored." Mrs. He took out a handful of copper coins from her bosom, counted twenty for Mrs. Hu, and gave her a dissatisfied look.

Naturally, Mrs. Hu didn't want to go, because she suffered a lot at He Jinyi's house last time.

She gave the money to her eldest daughter, Qingpu, and sent her there. After a while, He Qingpu brought back eleven fried frogs with two copper coins left.

There were thirteen people in the He family's old house, and there were only twelve fried frogs.

Seeing the fried frog, Mrs. He looked better, patted her legs and said, "Xiao Tang ate it just now, and there is no share for her. For the rest, you and I, as well as Jinfu, Jinren, and Taohua, will have one each." Only. Xiao Zheng and Xiao Hua are scholars, there are two for each of them, and Xiao Bao and Xiao Rong also have one for each, Qing Pu should not be greedy when he gets older."

In the He family's old house, it was common for the daughters-in-law to share things, but this time even He Qingpu, who was running errands, gave each share, and Mrs. Hu scolded Mrs. He in the stomach.

After dividing the fried frogs, Mrs. He became more and more wrong, she frowned and said, "This money is not right, eighteen Wen, you can buy twelve, why did you only bring back eleven fried frogs?" frog?"

He Qingpu, who was suspected, burst into tears, "I didn't swallow the money, it was Lanshan who said that Xiaotang had bought one on credit, so I deducted one."

He Qingpu is a big girl with a thin skin, so she came back as He Lanshan said.

"Mother, let me say that we Qingpu have been busy for so long and haven't shared a fried frog. If you want to get this one back, you can send my sister-in-law there." The old lady snapped back.

"Okay, everyone is here to disobey me, isn't it?" Mrs. He was suffocating because of He Lanshan's operation, but Mrs. Hu ran to bump into the muzzle of the gun again, and she picked it up. The feather duster that fell on the ground was drawn towards Hu.

Hong Shi, who was beaten just now, watched from the side, with the corners of his mouth raised.

After Mrs. He finished beating her daughter-in-law to vent her anger, she was still suffocated. This fried frog was the only way to think about it. After all, she couldn't let her peach blossoms be ashamed.

But if she doesn't teach He Lanshan a good lesson, she will panic in her heart.

"Auntie, you also bought fried frogs to eat. I have something to discuss with you." The courtyard door of He's old house was not closed, and Mrs. He walked in directly.

She has always been jealous, but Auntie Fat has spread the meaning of Zhao Shuangxi that no one will teach you how to fry frogs.She went to buy it twice, and it cost twenty copper coins, and she didn't even learn a fart.

Right now, he is thinking about cooperating with Mrs. He, maybe he can get something out.

The two hit it off immediately, and hid in Mrs. He's room to mutter.

……

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Every day, Zhao Yao sent nearly a thousand frogs after nightfall, and he could get one hundred coins a day. Excluding the money collected by others, the net profit per day was at least fifty or more.

And after eating at Zhao Shuangxi's house once, he always brought two black-faced steamed buns with him when he came again, and asked Zhao Shuangxi to cook him a bowl of soup, which made his stomach feel warm after drinking.In the past few days, Xu family may be willing to add white noodles to the black noodles after earning money, Zhao Yao gnawed the steamed buns to look much softer.

Zhao Shuangxi's frog business has also stabilized. When going to the county town, the owner of the tavern and Xiao Jiu are always waiting early. The owner of the tavern wants to get a hundred frogs a day.

Xiao Jiu took more, a full three hundred every day, and even more when the weather was bad, sometimes four or five hundred.Due to the bad weather, open-air work cannot be done, and the business of gambling houses and brothels is one-on-one.

On this day, when Zhao Yao brought the frog, He Lanshan opened the door.

"Nan, it's late today, have you eaten yet?"

"I've eaten it, and the soup is warming up for uncle on the stove!"

While answering Zhao Yao's words, He Lanshan closed the courtyard door and hitched it. During this time, she always felt that there was a pair of eyes watching her every move in the dark.

When she brought Zhao Yao into the house, Zhao Shuangxi had already heard the sound of pouring the hot bamboo shoots and bacon soup into the sea bowl, and asked Zhao Yao to take two black-faced steamed buns and heat them in the pot.

"Double Happiness, don't put meat in my soup from now on, or I won't keep it for dinner." Zhao Yao looked at the bacon in the bowl, frowning so much that he could strangle a fly.

In his cognition, it's wrong to earn his sister's money and eat other people's meat.

"Cheng Chengcheng, next time I'll give you those tofu and cabbage," Zhao Shuangxi said with a smile, and didn't argue with Zhao Yao, thinking that the Chinese cabbage stewed in stick bone soup would be equally delicious tomorrow.

"It's fine to eat something warm. It's much better than before. It's enough to fill you up." When the black-faced steamed buns were ready, Zhao Yao picked up the steamed buns and started to eat them with sliced ​​bacon and bamboo shoots.

After walking such a long distance, I missed my meal time. I was already starving, and I only had three or two mouthfuls of soft black-faced steamed buns.

He Lanshan thought that she still wanted to talk to his uncle, and she couldn't sit still without talking, so she asked: "How is uncle's house now, does grandpa still come to ask for money?"

Zhao Yao smiled foolishly, and bitterness appeared in his eyes again.

Come on, this is someone who came to ask for money, and He Lanshan felt that she was reading her heart by looking at her face.

Zhao Shuangxi also noticed it, and immediately yelled, "Brother, how can you give it to him? Besides, Xiao Wu and you earned it so hard. Why don't you keep it for the whole family?"

"How can I give it to him? The money will be handed over to Xiao Wu when I get home, and I won't be able to sleep in it. Xiao Wu and your sister-in-law can't listen to Lan Shan's words, so Dad came to ask me for money. There really isn't a single one." Zhao Yao hastily explained.

He Lanshan breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise it would be too bad for Zhao Guang and Ge Shi to help the poor.

"I see, Xiao Wu's family is better than yours, and he can eat enough." Zhao Shuangxi also smiled at her brother, so she felt relieved, at least she didn't have to watch her brother suffer poverty .

"Well, that kid is not bad, he doesn't follow me or his mother, but he's a bit like Lanshan, he's all big-minded." Zhao Yao also had a proud face when talking about his son, and he didn't care if he ran errands every day and couldn't leave a penny on him. complain.

He put the second black-faced steamed bun into his mouth, chewed it three or two times, and it was over. Finally, he took the bacon and tofu soup to drink, filling his stomach with warmth.When he ate the bacon, he chewed it a few more times in his mouth, and the more he ate, the more delicious it became.

"Okay, I won't stay any longer, or your sister-in-law and Xiao Wu will be worried."

Zhao Yao left after dinner, but Zhao Shuangxi didn't leave him behind, and sent him to the small bridge at the entrance of the village.

When Zhao Shuangxi came back, He Lanshan had already washed up and entered the room.Zhao Shuangxi didn't stay up all night to get those frogs. Since she found out that there was nothing wrong with raising frogs for a day, she always dealt with the frogs Zhao Yao sent the next day.

"Mom, do you feel that people are staring at us a lot lately?" He Lanshan said while lying on the bed with a small face, looking at Zhao Shuangxi.

"I feel it, I didn't say I was afraid of scaring you." Zhao Shuangxi also climbed into the bed and slept on He Lanshan's side, then propped herself up and blew out the oil lamp.

In the darkness, she squinted her eyes and continued, "Our fried frogs are so profitable, and the net profit can make nearly a tael of silver a day. Of course, there will be people who are jealous and want our recipes openly and secretly. But you must not be learned by them."

"En!" He Lanshan felt that what Zhao Shuangxi said was right, so she didn't think about it, and fell asleep with her eyes closed.
