Chapter 37 Good Poetry!

The next day, as soon as the sky turned white, Fang went out with her hoe.

Old Mrs. Chen looked like she had seen a ghost. She rubbed her eyes and turned to ask Li Zheng: "Old man, am I right? Is the third daughter-in-law who just went out?"

Li Zheng was so troubled by the things in the village these past two days that he drooped his eyelids and said, "Didn't you always say that the third daughter-in-law likes to be lazy the most? Now that people are hardworking, isn't that good?"

"It's good, it's good." But when things go wrong, there must be evil spirits. Going out to work early in the morning is not like the style of the third daughter-in-law.

Li Zheng didn't think too much, patted his legs and stood up: "Okay, today the government has assigned a new supervisor to the river embankment. I have to pack up and greet him."

Although the amount of wages Li Zhang embezzled was not as large as that of the quarry manager, he betrayed a life and the county government had already sentenced him to exile in the northwest and serve as a military camp.Xu Captou also lost his official position and was sentenced to ten years in prison.

This time the new river embankment supervisor was said to have been personally selected by the Chief of the Supervision Department, and he didn’t know whether he was round or flat.

The river embankment resumed work, and Zhou Lingqi was unable to accompany Qin Mengshang to set up a stall in the town.

Qin Mengshang didn't mind, so he picked up the table and went out.

After seeing the two Zhou family members leaving from a distance, Mrs. Fang snorted coldly and walked towards the end of the village.

The first person to discover konjac was obviously her family Xiaocao. Qin Mengshang bullied a few children for being ignorant. He dug up konjac to make money and then hid it. This was really thoughtful!

If she hadn't caught Xiao He and interrogated him, she would still be kept in the dark!

Isn’t it just konjac tofu?She can make tofu, so why can’t she make tofu with konjac in it?
Ms. Fang didn’t believe in that evil, but she wanted to see what was behind it!
The Zhou family's house is far away from the village, and the courtyard wall is also short. You can climb in by stepping on the stones.

The Zhou family's house used to be the shabbiest in the village. Now it not only has a gray tile roof, but also grows vegetables in the yard. There are even a few chickens catching insects in the ground.

Not long ago, I came to the Chen family to borrow food, but now my life is almost catching up with her family!

Fang walked across the yard with a sullen face, and was about to reach out to push the door open when a gray thing jumped out of nowhere and bit her calf.

"Ah! Where did you come from, you little beast, get out of here!"

A piece of Fang's calf and trousers were torn off, and blood flowed out.

Yuan Bao's fur stood up all over his body, and his pair of brown beast eyes stared fiercely at Fang.Jinbao came out immediately, bared his teeth and barked twice at Fang.

It is said that a dog that bites does not bark, and a dog that barks does not necessarily bite.Yuan Bao has been here for several days, but he has never wailed. Jin Bao always likes to hum, but rarely barks.People who have never been into Zhou's house really don't know that there are two dogs inside, one of which can bite people.

A piece of skin was torn off Fang's calf, and it was so painful that he dared to go in and take a look?

Cursing "little beast" in a low voice, he dragged his legs and left in a hurry.

Ji, who was about to go to the river embankment to help, saw her come out of the Zhou family's yard. She raised her voice and shouted loudly: "Chen San's wife, what are you doing breaking into the Zhou's family's yard so early in the morning?"

Fang had a guilty conscience, but when he was shouted at by this voice, he almost fell over and fell into the ditch.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Which of your eyes saw me entering Zhou's house? Stop slandering people!"

As she spoke, she glanced around guiltily and saw that Ji was the only one there. She picked up the hoe and limped away without looking back.

Ji stared at Fang's back suspiciously. Although she didn't see Fang running into Zhou's house, looking at the direction she came from and the two barkings, she must have guessed right!

Fang, a black-hearted woman, put water in her field last time, and this time she plowed the yard while no one was in the Zhou family. She is really used to being a thief!
Ji made a sound of disgust and walked to Zhou's house to take a look. She saw two dogs guarding the courtyard and the main room door was tightly closed, so she went to the river embankment with peace of mind.

The sun is rising gradually, and there are more and more people in the town.

Shang Qinmeng had been setting up a stall in the town for a few days, and most of the vendors who came and went recognized her.I saw her coming alone today and asked her with a smile: "Why is the boss's wife the only one here today? Can you handle this busy time?"

Anyone who often eats noodles knows that there is a young couple selling cold noodles on the street.Both of them were good-looking people. Not only the merchants and men came to buy noodles, but also many women saw Zhou Lingqi collecting bowls on the street. After looking at them, they walked to the noodle stall and chatted with him nonchalantly.

Zhou Lingqi took care of Qin Mengshang's business, and answered patiently while resisting the urge to look bad every time.

He didn't come today, and those women were quite disappointed.

Qin Mengshang smiled helplessly: "My husband-in-law went to work today and couldn't get away. I can't do it alone."

But it turned out that it was still too early to say this.

Xu is the only one in town that sells cold noodles, and since it tastes good and the price is reasonable, the business is getting more and more prosperous day by day.I used to think that twenty bowls were enough, but I didn't expect that only two bowls were left after I was busy for a while.

It seems that it is really inconvenient to collect the bowls without Zhou Lingqi.

Qin Mengshang squeezed his shoulders and quickly got into the alley behind him while no customers were coming.

Two cards, one General Meng and one Li Bai.

General Meng is tall and mighty. If he is released casually, he might scare others, so it is better to choose Li Bai.

As soon as the light turned, Li Bai walked through the mist in elegant clothes. He raised his eyebrows and said in a slow tone, "Will you admire the moon with me?"

"." The sky is clear and the sun is bright, what kind of moon do you enjoy!

There was still a stall set up outside. Qin Mengshang didn't dare to delay and took Li Bai out: "Sir, I will make a bowl of noodles for you to try. Can you help me collect the bowl?"

Before Li Bai could react, a bowl of cold noodles was stuffed into his hand. The spicy and fragrant smell penetrated the tip of his nose, and his lips and teeth were filled with saliva for a moment.

Another visitor came here, and Qin Mengshang hurriedly went to greet him.

The visitor was also a regular customer. A man with a white robe and a futon stood behind the stall. He suddenly became curious. Just as he was about to open his mouth, he heard a long sigh raised to the sky——

"When I eat this food, I feel like I miss my hometown!"

Qin Mengshang: "???"

Li Bai held the cold noodles in his hands, his eyes slightly closed, his clothes fluttering like an immortal in the breeze, a melancholy sigh escaped from his lips, and at the same time there was still a trace of spicy oil on the corner of his mouth.

"." Can eating noodles also arouse homesickness?

Qin Mengshang didn't understand and couldn't understand.

The boy who came to buy noodles was so stunned that he stared blankly for a long time, and then chimed in elegantly: "What a poem."

Qin Mengshang's eyes twitched as he mixed a bowl of cold noodles and handed it out.

After Li Bai finished eating the noodles, he was still not finished and handed the bowl back to her: "What do I have to do?"

Can you speak well?If it weren't for being in the market and shouting all around, she would have thought she was reciting classical Chinese!
But now he was in need of help, so Qin Mengshang didn't bother to care about his formal tone and asked him to remember the style and help put away the bowls.

Li Bai ate the noodles, put away the bowl and enjoyed it. No matter who talked to him, he opened his mouth and sent a poem to the other person.

Most of the vendors had not read any books and did not understand the meaning of his words, but the things they did not understand were the most beautiful, so they responded with a smile, "Good poetry."
