Chapter 86
This fresh and refined answer stunned Xiao Cheng for 0.5 seconds, and then he chuckled.

Turn around and go back to the room to change clothes.

Bai Lu and Xiao Wei were also stunned for a full second before realizing that the crisis was over?

The crisis is over.

Xiao Wei sat back in front of the stove to light the fire, and asked casually, "Why do you grow flowers on your head?"

The corners of Bai Lu's mouth twitched slightly: "Where did the flowers grow? They went to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables. The wind blew the chestnut tree and fell. When I came back, I patted off the small bone buds on my shoulders. I didn't expect a flower to fall from my head. no feelings."

"Then why doesn't it fall on my head?"

"Your head is small, if you drop it, it will fall off."

"Then why doesn't it fall on Big Brother's head?"

"Your brother doesn't go to the backyard very often, and once in a while it's not windy, so of course the flowers won't fall on his head."

"Brother often goes to the backyard."

"Why don't I know, what is he doing in the backyard?"

"Go to see Qiang..." Xiao Wei saw the tall figure passing by outside the window, his tongue was knotted, and he made an emergency turn: "Go to see the vegetable garden."

Bai Lu didn't think much about it, and smiled while cooking: "Are there any newly unearthed vegetables in the vegetable garden?"

"You two are the same, just look at it, and ask what you like to eat, but you don't have any favorite dishes? For example, cabbage, lettuce, broccoli, lettuce, and pea tips?"

Xiao Wei didn't hear any unpalatable dishes, and replied as usual: "Anything is fine."

Bai Lu decisively threw the bomb: "What about the mustard greens?"

Xiao Wei shook his head vigorously.

"Don't you like it? Mustard greens are delicious and have many benefits. They can clear away heat and detoxify the intestines and stomach, benefit the lungs, reduce phlegm, and reduce fire. Great. Why don’t we cook mustard green porridge with lean meat for breakfast tomorrow?”

Xiaowei shook his head like a rattle.

Bai Lu took it as if he agreed: "Then it's a deal~ Your brother must also like mustard greens."

"he does not like."

Xiao Wei shook his head with an extremely serious face: "I cooked it once last year, and my eldest brother didn't come home for five days."

Bai Lu smiled: "Has he finished eating?"

Xiao Wei shook his head: "I didn't eat a single bite."

"That's just for him to try new delicacies, he will definitely like it." Bai Lu smiled softly.

Xiao Wei's hairs stood on end, he wanted to say that the eldest brother would not like it, and wanted to shake his head and refuse.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

The sun was down.

In this era of working at sunrise and resting at sunset, every household is either cooking or eating.

Who will knock at the door?
After Wang Cuihua's business of selling sugar-fried chestnuts picked up, she already had a fixed stall in Dashi Town three days ago, and now, like Wen Xiuyun and his wife, she settled the bill every three days.

I only got married once yesterday, so it shouldn't be her.

Bai Lu had finished cooking, so she took off her apron and went out.

Unexpectedly, the man who was pressing water to soak his clothes in the front yard had already opened the door one step ahead of her.

As soon as the door opens.

A black shadow rushed in.

As soon as Bai Lu came over, before she had time to see clearly, Xiao Cheng grabbed her waist and took a big step back.

A large basket rolled to the ground.

The head of the basket hit the spot where she was standing just now, and there was a person with disheveled hair lying on the back of the basket.

He opened his mouth and cried, "Bailu... I don't sell sugar-fried chestnuts anymore. Some people smashed my stall and beat me, saying that if I dare to sell sugar-fried chestnuts in Dashi Town in the future, all the chestnuts will be confiscated and I will be punished." broken leg..."

"It's too difficult to sell sugar-fried chestnuts. I earn a lot of money, but how can I get enough for medical expenses..."

Guiwailing and howling wolves interspersed with inconspicuous crying, and the figure lying on the basket also trembled.

After finishing speaking, trembling hands lifted the messy hair covering his face, revealing a frowning face.

Then... He froze on the spot, his face stiffened.

"Xiao, did Brother Xiao Cheng come back so early today?" Wang Cuihua quickly got up, dusted off her body, and tied up her messy hair with a rubber band.

Bai Lu glanced at her dirty clothes and asked, "Someone hit you?"

Wang Cuihua didn't dare to lie in front of Xiao Cheng: "I didn't fight, I just turned up the mess."

The clothes were the illusion that she accidentally fell down outside, and wanted Bai Lu to pay for her medical expenses.

I didn't expect Brother Xiao Cheng to come back so early today, and he only got off work after dark a few days ago.

"Who broke the stall?" Xiao Cheng's voice was as cold as a cold pond, piercing through all his thoughts.

Wang Cuihua was terrified, and immediately confessed the whole thing: "I don't know, I haven't seen it. Those five men have flower tattoos on their left arms. As soon as they came up, they overturned my stall, saying that Dashi Town is their territory. They want to be in Dashi Town." To sell sugar-fried chestnuts, you have to pay 3000 yuan first.”

Hearing the five left-handed men, Xiao Cheng already had a rough idea of ​​who they were, looked sideways, and met Bai Lu's gaze.

Bai Lu had a question mark on her face, what was she doing?

She is not a flower-armed man.

But in an instant, I understood the message conveyed by those deep eyes, and turned to ask Wang Cuihua: "If you can get rid of those people, will you still go to Dashi Town to sell sugar-fried chestnuts?"

"go with!"

Wang Cuihua replied without hesitation: "I will continue to sell sugar-fried chestnuts in Dashi Town."

If you can earn so much money every day, no fool will go.

For trivial things like being overthrown and collecting protection fees, as long as Xiao Cheng goes to that stop, he will all have to run away with his tail between his legs.

She cried miserably as soon as she entered the door just now, she just wanted to let Bai Lu increase her share, and told Xiao Cheng about it by the way.

Now the plan is in vain, and the job must be kept.

"Tomorrow, I will ask Zhang San and Li Si to take a look."

Xiao Cheng's tone was indifferent, and he gave the order to chase away the guests.

Wang Cuihua smelled the aroma of food all over the courtyard, and her stomach was growling with hunger, and she wanted to stay and finish her meal before leaving.
But Xiao Cheng had already walked back with Bai Lu in his arms.

Xiao Wei took the basket from Wang Cuihua's hand, put it aside, and saw off the guest: "Goodbye, sister-in-law Biao."

Wang Cuihua stomped her feet vigorously, but no one responded, so she could only turn around and leave.

The courtyard door closed again.

At the dinner table, Bai Lu endured it, but still couldn't help asking: "Is there really someone named Zhang San and Li Si?"

Xiao Cheng glanced at her motionless chopsticks and rice bowl that hadn't eaten three mouthfuls, and picked up a piece of meat.

"eat first."

Bai Lu wiped out the meat in two or three strokes, her movements were quick and elegant: "Is there really someone named Zhang San and Li Si?"

Xiao Cheng picked up two more pieces of meat for her, fat and thin twice-cooked pork, and three braised pork ribs.

Xiao Wei also gave her two pieces of meat, fat and thin twice-cooked pork, and three braised pork ribs.

Bai Lu: "..."

Until more than half of the rice in the bowl was wiped out, the pile of twice-cooked pork and braised pork ribs were all wiped out.

The answer was released by the man: "Yes."

"Two brothers, from Dashi Town."

Bai Lu was surprised and curious: "Why are the two brothers one surnamed Zhang and the other Li?"

Xiao Cheng looked as usual: "Same mother and half father."

Bai Lu understood.

Zhang San's mother married Zhang's father and gave birth to Zhang San, and then married Li's father and gave birth to Li Si.

It's really a good name for high-end atmosphere!
