Nine Zero, the cannon fodder wife of the paranoid boss is reborn

Chapter 72

Go back to the utility room and turn over the snake repellent.

Xiao Wei hesitated all the way, and finally dared to speak: "Snake repellent, once it rains, it will lose its effect."

"Moreover, it only drives our backyard. If there are snakes upstream or downstream, they will come running."

Before Bai Lu came to tinker with the vegetable garden, Xiao Wei encountered snakes several times in the weeds by the river.

Although they drove them away every time and put snake repellent medicine on them, but when it rained, the medicine powder was washed away, and the snake came back again.

Xiao Cheng glanced lightly at the little guy standing by the river, originally he didn't want to talk to him, but seeing his worried face, he remembered what Bai Lu said just now.

After a moment of silence, he said in a calm tone: "Wrap a circle of bamboo around Qiangwei, and then sprinkle the medicinal powder."

Xiao Wei lowered his head and looked at what was left. In fact, there were only eight bamboos left, his eyebrows furrowed.

"But there are not enough bamboos." There are so many flowers.

Xiao Cheng raised his eyes slightly, and glanced at the chestnut tree beside the vegetable garden, and the big branches on the tree.

"Bai Lu said that pruning the branches at this time will hurt the chestnut tree." Xiao Wei resolutely threw out Bai Lu's original words.

Xiao Cheng dispelled the idea of ​​cutting branches to surround the flowers.

Xiao Cheng gave a "tsk" impatiently, and gave him a cold look, "Go to the woodshed and bring some firewood."

Xiao Wei turned around and ran. After running for a few steps, he suddenly remembered something and stopped to turn around.

"Long." Xiao Cheng said.

The little figure ran away like the wind.

There wasn't much firewood in the firewood house, if there was, Bai Lu wouldn't have to go to Wang Cuihua's house to borrow it.

But pick and choose, there are still some ten or so roots, but ten or so are not enough!

How do you want to surround the flowers?
Holding the long firewood, Xiao Wei rushed out of the firewood room in a hurry, almost bumping into Bai Lu who was collecting the clothes.

"What are you doing with the firewood?"

Bai Lu held the clothes pole in one hand and the clothes of the three of them in the other, her face full of doubts.

Xiao Wei put away the long firewood that almost poked her, and said solemnly: "I don't know."

"Brother wants it."

After speaking, he ran towards the backyard with the firewood in his arms.

Mysterious.

Bai Lu was a little curious and wanted to take a look, when there was a rhythmic knock on the door.

I had to put my clothes back in the main house and go to open the door.

When Wen Xiuyun outside the door saw Bai Lu, she immediately greeted her with a smile and gave her the black plastic bag in her hand.

"Bailu, this is the cured duck and duck leg that we specially brought back when we went back to the countryside to worship our ancestors yesterday. They are all ducks raised in our own fields. The duck meat is very chewy. Take it back and taste it. taste."

Before Bai Lu could refuse, the plastic bag was hung on her hand, the opening was not tied, and the inside could be seen at a glance.

Three big cured ducks and six cured duck legs.

In a small town these days, eating a piece of meat is a luxury, and they also gave away three unopened whole ducks and duck legs.

No reward for no merit, Bai Lu couldn't accept this great gift, "Aunt Wu is too polite, two duck legs are chopped into pieces and there is a big plate, Acheng Xiaowei and I can't eat much, so try two duck legs enough."

"You have to sell fruit at the stall, and the children in the family have to go to school. The ducks should be taken care of by the elderly in the family. How can I eat so many ducks that you have worked so hard to raise? If you insist on giving them all to me , then I can only ask the price first.”

After asking the price, the next step is definitely to give money.

Giving money is buying, not giving away.

Wen Xiuyun hurriedly said: "Don't, they said I will give it to you. How can I still ask for money? What is the difference between giving money and buying it on the street? We still have a lot of preserved ducks and preserved duck legs at home. We will wait until the next trip to eat the ducks." You can’t finish eating cured duck.”

"There are only three ducks and six duck legs in here, and there is not enough to fit between the teeth. You should do it to the fifth aunt, and take it back to try something new. Don't be polite to the fifth aunt."

Knowing that Bai Lu doesn't like to be devious, and doesn't like to accept gifts for no reason, if she delays to be seen by her neighbors, she doesn't know what kind of gossip will spread.

After Wen Xiuyun finished speaking, she immediately clarified her intentions: "Bai Lu, Fifth Aunt heard that you also went back to the countryside to worship your ancestors yesterday, did you bring any good news?"

Bai Lu understood now.

He tacitly replied with a smile: "There is good news. Ah Cheng and I ordered a batch of chestnuts in the countryside. The flesh is very plump, the taste is soft and sweet, and there are basically no dry or cracked bad fruits. It is as good as the last batch."

Wen Xiuyun's face was full of joy: "That's really great, you don't even know that, in the past few days when the stock was stopped, customers couldn't buy candied chestnuts, so they went to the opposite Li Shuixian's house to buy some paste chestnuts to satisfy their cravings, and ended up eating them one by one. They all ran to me and vomited bitterness, saying that their intestines were green with regret."

"It's not the same taste at all. At first, I couldn't swallow it. Later, I bought it and swallowed it, but the taste was always wrong. It wasn't the taste I wanted."

"Everyone is urging me to stop selling fruit, go home and fry chestnuts, as much as I want..."

Wen Xiuyun took Bai Lu's wrist, and smiled until the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes became younger: "Didn't my husband also take some chestnuts fried in sugar to try out for customers in the city? You don't know, during the Ching Ming Festival, people's reservations , more than the sugar-fried chestnuts we sold in a few days."

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked behind him.

Following her gaze, Bai Lu saw a motorcycle parked there, and a middle-aged man with a kind smile on the car was smiling and nodding to greet her.

Bai Lu also smiled and nodded in response.

Although everything was expected, it was a bit unexpected to receive good news so soon.

Moreover, the amount of cured duck and duck legs... Bai Lu guessed that Wen Xiuyun should have something to say.

Sure enough, Wen Xiuyun reported the good news one by one, and after chatting with each other for a few homely words.

Finally, she asked in a soft voice: "Bai Lu, Fifth Aunt was selling fruit at the stall today, and when she saw Wang Cuihua next door going to the street to buy vegetables, she told everyone she was going to start a business, so don't ask her what she is doing." Business."

"She said she also sells sugar-fried chestnuts... and said that the taste is exactly the same as mine, and they are the most authentic..."

What Wen Xiuyun said was cut down a bit.

Wang Cuihua answered at the time, but she was at the same place as her, and they used the same authentic sugar-fried chestnuts.

Wang Cuihua lived next door to Bailu, and the deceased husband was said to be Xiao Cheng's brother who had been with Xiao Cheng for many years.

Where else can Wang Cuihua get the most authentic sugar-fried chestnuts besides Bailu?

Wen Xiuyun's heart tightened at that time, if Bai Lu's partner would be Wang Cuihua.

What about the group of old customers who have been fried with authentic candied chestnuts and whetted their appetites?
She and her husband have so many scheduled orders, where can they conjure up the most authentic sugar-fried chestnuts for guests?
Wang Cuihua has taken over the market, will those customers who come back to her because of sugar-fried chestnuts turn around and buy from Wang Cuihua again, and stop patronizing her business?

Thinking of the consequences of these heavy losses, Wen Xiuyun couldn't sit still, and hurriedly sent the cured duck and duck legs that she had promised to sell to regular customers to Bai Lu with her husband as a gift, and inquired about the news along the way.
