Chapter 16

At noon, only half of the baskets were picked, Xia Yingying said: "Let's go eat first! We will have roast chicken for lunch today."

Xia Hu looked at Xia Yingying and said, "Sister... Isn't this too extravagant?"

Xia Yingying patted him on the shoulder and said: "Naturally, you have to be kind to yourself. Besides, when you are all growing up, if you don't eat well, your foundation will become very poor, and your body will not be able to keep up."

Xia Yingying picked more than a dozen pieces of perilla, and some prickly ash and wild onions before heading to the secret base.

Both Xia Ying and Xia Xiong took off their shirts, it was too hot to burn charcoal, and it was fortunate that it was autumn.

Xia Ying smiled and said: "The wood we used last time was relatively thin. Uncle Zhou said that the charcoal is not particularly good. Let us use a bit thicker wood, but this kind of wood needs to be bored for a day or two."

Xia Yingying nodded and said, "Brother, let's have roast chicken for lunch..."

Xia Ying was a little surprised when he saw the pheasant in the basket, "Where did it come from?"

"Of course I did it." Xia Yingying lit a fire, and Xia Hu and Xia Xiong went to the nearby stream to kill chickens.

When they were ready, Xia Yingying also prepared a clean wooden stick. She poked the chicken on it, put perilla leaves, Chinese prickly ash and wild onions in the chicken belly, and then grilled it.

After a while, the fragrance slowly dissipated, Xiahu and Xialang's stomachs growled.

Xia Yingying said: "If there are lotus leaves, you can also make lotus leaf chicken. The lotus leaf chicken is also quite delicious."

Xia Yingying is good at cooking, she learned from Qingzhu, she used to have four big girls by her side, but they all betrayed her.

The one who is most loyal to her is Qingzhu, the little girl who is silent all day long and studies cooking silently.

I don't know what happened to the green bamboo in this life?

"It smells so good, you should be able to eat it?" Xia Lang swallowed, the taste of the pheasant was too tempting.

Xia Yingying smiled and said: "It's almost there, but we have to leave half of it for parents and two younger brothers."

This pheasant was quite fat, and Xia Lang took a bite and praised it full of praise: "It's... delicious. It would be great if we could eat chicken every day."

These words reminded Xia Yingying, she looked around and said: "Let's make a few traps later, come up to have a look from time to time, I can make traps, but you have to help me."

"to make……"

In the afternoon, apart from picking goji berries, everyone else was setting up traps. The traps were actually very simple. They just dug a few big holes and put some thick bamboo in them.

These bamboos are all cut into wooden thorns, and then some bamboo leaves are covered on them, and of course they have to be marked, lest someone accidentally step on them.

After finishing these, it was getting late, and a few people finished work and went home.

These things were placed in the small bamboo grove at the back, and when they didn't pay attention in front, Xia Yingying directly put the goji berries into the shopping mall.

Xiaoyin Machinery said: "27.6..."

This is actually not bad, Xia Yingying directly replaced all of them with mung beans, and now mung bean sprouts are considered a big income for the family.

The next day, they went to the mountains early in the morning and dug out the charcoal. This time the charcoal was really thick.

Xia Ying said with satisfaction on his face: "I'm afraid it was a success this time, but unfortunately our kiln is too small. If it is bigger, maybe we can earn more."

Xia Yingying said: "We must not be too greedy in doing things, besides, people often come here, even if we really want to do something big, we have to find a secret place."

Xia Ying nodded, she was really in a hurry.

A few people carried charcoal and a few baskets of bean sprouts and walked towards the town. Uncle Zhou of the restaurant was having breakfast. When he saw the charcoal and bean sprouts they brought, his eyes lit up and he said: "I came so early, I still want to Said, order some more charcoal with you."

Xia Ying hurriedly said: "Uncle Zhou, take a look..."

Uncle Zhou asked the staff to weigh it directly and said: "The charcoal is 17 catties and it's almost 17 catties!"

He added the bean sprouts and said: "28 catties, a total of 310 Wen. I will continue to collect the charcoal. The bean sprouts will have to be stopped for two days. There are too many to send out."

Xia Ying nodded quickly, earning 310 wen all at once!

This time Xia Yingying didn't dare to use all of it. When she got home, she dug a hole and put the copper coins away before going out of the yard to look at the sweet potatoes.

The sweet potatoes really sprouted sprouts, and I don't know how many of these sweet potatoes can be harvested.

Zheng Jinhua went to work in the field, Xia Ying and Xia Xiong were going to take down the roof today, so Xia Yingying had nothing to do, so she continued planting sweet potatoes in the yard.

The roof has indeed been in disrepair for a long time. It was because Xia Ying and Xia Xiong were busy with their livelihoods and had no time to repair it. Now that they have time, they naturally need to repair it.

They cut a lot of bamboo first, then made a rough frame of the roof, and then covered it with thatch.

Xia Yingying looked at Xia Ying and Xia Xiong and said, "Big brother, second brother, be careful..."

She scooped some water onto the sweet potato seeds, quietly watched her two brothers beating on the roof, and suddenly felt a kind of quiet time.

At noon Zheng Jinhua came back with a fish in his hand and said: "My brother sent it, saying it was for your father's health."

Before I finished speaking, I heard a burst of cursing from outside: "Are you going to die? You can't eat at home, and you even give away the fish at home. I tell you, you go and get the fish out. Go quickly."

Zheng Jinhua shrank her neck when she heard the voice, and saw a woman kicking their fence door and walked in, saying: "Well, you Zheng Jinhua, you have a big face, I didn't see you sending things to your mother's house, but you did Take things from my mother's house with my face."

This is Zheng Jinhua's sister-in-law Li Qiao, with her hands on her hips, she can't wait to eat Zheng Jinhua.

Zheng Jinhua's elder brother, Zheng Jinzi, came over and sighed, "Mother, don't make trouble, Jinhua's family is not rich either."

"It's her own fault that she isn't rich. If she didn't believe in Xia Youyou, that little bitch, how could she be like this?" Li Qiao became even more angry.

Zheng Jinhua lowered her head and said, "Sister-in-law, this... I'll give it back to you."

Li Qiao glared at her, patted her chest and said, "You can't get on the table, the fish is dead, so I don't want it! I'm going to eat at your house today..."

Zheng Jinhua looked at Li Qiao, suddenly smiled and said, "Hey! I...I'm going to cook now."

Xia Hu whispered to Xia Yingying beside her:

"This is the eldest aunt, don't look at her as fierce, she treats mother like this, but in fact she hates mother for being too weak.

She has reminded her mother many times that Xia Youyou is an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, but her mother just doesn't listen. "

Xia Yingying looked at her eldest aunt, her hair was combed meticulously, she looked fierce, but her heart should be soft.

At this moment, the eldest aunt also saw her, and she came over and said, "It's...it's Yingying, right? I'm a good boy, you've suffered a lot!"

The eldest aunt directly hugged Xia Yingying into her arms, Xia Yingying could smell the saponins on her body, the smell of the eldest aunt was really good.
