Chapter 24 He Has Been Different
"Bitter melons should be marinated with salt for a while, then put into a pot without oil and stir-fried for a while, and then stir-fried with oil, so as to remove part of the bitterness."

"It turns out that doing this can remove some of the bitterness. Next time I have to give some suggestions to the school cafeteria."

At this moment, the casserole is steaming, and a smell of meat and medicine is also wafting out.

"Sister-in-law, what did you cook?" Lu Bei's eyes were on the casserole, the smell of medicine was unpleasant, but the smell of meat aroused his roundworms.

"The pig's trotters bought by Dad, I added some medicinal materials to make it into a medicinal meal. It just so happens that Dad and Xiaobei come over to eat at night!"

Lu Zhenghai smiled, "I won't come here, if Xiaobei wants to eat, let him come here by himself."

When Ning Xi finished her meal and walked out of the kitchen, Zhang Ying had already arrived, and she was sitting in the main room counting money.

Ning Xi walked over to help count the money and settle the accounts. After the accounts were settled, she looked at Zhang Ying without blinking, "Second sister-in-law, our net income today is 30."

Zhang Ying was stunned for a few seconds before reacting, and hugged Ning Xi's neck excitedly, "30, Xiao Xi, we actually made 30 at once, haha! We can exceed third uncle's monthly salary by going out tomorrow. .”

"..." Zhang Ying really got into a fight with Lu Zhenghai.

Zhang Ying let go of Ning Xi and asked with a smile, "Xiao Xi, can we add some more tomorrow?"

"Not for the time being." Ning Xi calmly analyzed with Zhang Ying, "The business is so good today because the students go back to school to get the notification letter. I don't know if the business will be so good tomorrow. We will still do it according to today's weight. .”

Zhang Ying nodded ignorantly, she didn't quite understand why she chose to support Ning Xi's approach, "It's all up to you."

"It's getting late, and we're going out to help with fishing too." Ning Xi wrote down today's account, took the money and notebook back to the room and put them away, changed into old clothes and went out with Zhang Ying carrying the fishing net.

The scorching sun scorched the earth, the stretched leaves on the trees curled up, and the cicadas made people uneasy. At this time, the village was very quiet, and most people were hiding at home and refused to go out.

The three of them walked through the village and came to the creek. Lu He, Lu Lin, and Lu Xiaoyu were already fishing in the river. Lu Lin didn't know how to use a fishing net, so he took a dustpan to catch fish in the grass by the river bank. Lu Xiaoyu hid He helped carry the bucket under the bridge, and when Lu He collected the net, he ran over to help put the small fish in the fishing net into the bucket.

Zhang Ying walked to Lu He's side and whispered excitedly, "Brother He, guess how much we earned today."

Lu He was too lazy to guess, and asked with a smile, "How much?"

"30." Zhang Ying gestured three fingers to Lu He.

"So much?" Lu He's eyes were straightened. He couldn't believe that he earned 7 yuan yesterday, but today he actually doubled it several times. This is too...too...too much.

He was so excited that he didn't know what words to use to describe his mood at this time.

"Heck! This is all thanks to Xiao Xi."

Lu He also nodded quickly, "Yes! Without Xiao Xi, where would we make so much money?"

"Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law, this is due to each of us." Ning Xi took off her shoes, rolled up her trousers and walked into the river. Enter the river and pull it up quickly, and there will be many small fish in the fishing net immediately.

This season has just passed the breeding season of small fish, and every time the net is drawn down, many small fish can be caught.

For dinner, Lu Bei stayed at Ning Xi's house to eat. The delicious herbal pig's trotter was served on the table, and Lu Bei couldn't wait to grab a piece of the pig's trotter and gnawed on it.

It can't be blamed on his ignorance, let alone his greedy mouth. If it can be blamed, it can only be blamed on his sister-in-law who stewed the pig's trotters so fragrant that he couldn't stop drooling just by smelling it.

"Brother Nan, eat more." Ning Xi picked up a few pieces of pig's trotters for Lu Nan and put them in the bowl, "I added a lot of herbs in it according to your physical condition. Have more soup."

"Okay." Lu Nan nodded in agreement, and used chopsticks to pinch the pig's trotters away from the bowl. The pig's trotters were stewed for a while, and then opened with a gentle pinch. He picked out the lean meat and put it all into Ning Xi's bowl.

"Brother Nan, eat by yourself." Ning Xi wanted to give Lu Nan the meat, but Lu Nan moved the bowl away without letting her take it.

"I love lean meat."

don't like to eat...

Who doesn't like to eat lean meat?
That's just an excuse to make the other party eat it.

Glancing at Lu Nan quietly, his heart was sweet and greasy. He has become different. Although he still doesn't like to talk or laugh, he always treats her silently.

He would put most of the egg custard he made in the morning into her bowl, and when there was meat on the table, he would keep picking up the meat for her. It was obvious that they were not sitting at the same table when eating at the second aunt's house, but he He carefully helped her pick out the fishbone, and he washed the clothes she changed every day.

It's also at noon these two days, no matter how late it is, I will wait for her to come back to eat together, and every time I insist that eating alone is too deserted.

Just after dawn, Ning Xi and Zhang Ying had already arrived at the gate of the textile factory. They set up their booths, and customers came to the door not long after.

Originally, Ning Xi was worried that if there were no students today, the spicy strips and dried fish that he brought out would not be sold out, but today's business was even better than yesterday. Not much left.

"Auntie only has six taels of dried fish left, and you can count these as half a catty." Zhang Ying smiled and wrapped the last six taels of spicy small fish and handed it to the aunt, and set up a stall with Ning Xi for two days. A lot, even without Ning Xi, she would not have much problem by herself.

"Success, then I will take advantage today." Having taken advantage, my aunt happily handed over 5 cents to Zhang Ying.

Zhang Ying smiled and waved her hands, "Haha! It's okay, it's okay."

There are still some spicy sticks left in the back basket, and there are a few aunts behind, chatting while waiting.

"Sister Zhou, what's going on with you recently, you don't look energetic."

"I don't know what's wrong. I used to suffer from insomnia, but now I'm lethargic. I can't get up in the morning, and I don't have much energy for the whole day. Cough..." Aunt Zhou coughed several times while talking.

"It's a good thing to be able to sleep! It's not like we can't fall asleep at night and wake up again in the morning when it's dark."

"Me too. I tossed and turned in bed at night and couldn't fall asleep. I woke up at 4 or 5 in the morning."

Aunt Zhou sighed helplessly, "It's weird. I used to sleep less, but I was very energetic every day. Recently, I slept a lot, but I didn't have much energy."

Ning Xi heard the chatting of several aunts, and looked up at the crowd. When Aunt Zhou stood in front of her, when she was filling Aunt Zhou with spicy sticks, she noticed that Aunt Zhou's nails were a little purple, and she couldn't help asking. "Aunt Zhou, do you still suffer from chest tightness, shortness of breath, cough, headache, and sweating recently?"

Aunt Zhou smiled indifferently, "When you get old, you will inevitably have some minor problems."

"Aunt Zhou, these are not minor problems of yours, you'd better go and have a look." Ning Xi didn't ask these questions to show off his medical skills, let alone to make money with Aunt Zhou.

This Aunt Zhou is the mother of Director Jiang of the textile factory.

It is good for her and their business to make friends with Director Jiang, but it is just a reminder that if Aunt Zhou doesn't believe it, she won't say much.

Aunt Zhou's complexion changed, she was obviously not very happy, no one would like to be cursed to be sick, if it wasn't for the fact that Ning Xi got along well with people like them, she might coax her a few words now .
