Running with the ball in the lean years, the evil mother-in-law and the whole family regretted it

Chapter 34 Zhang Xiaohu

During the day, he is a good hunter, and his bow and arrow skills are also very accurate. Even with a crossbow, his archery skills are still very good.

Any board Bai Taotao threw casually could be hit by his arrow, or even penetrated directly. In the end, the sharp arrow directly pierced the wall of the yard.

A small hole opened in the wall.

Seeing this scene, Bai Tian looked at his little sister in shock.

Bai Taotao said calmly and slowly: "How is it? My little sister didn't lie to you, isn't this crossbow very powerful? Coupled with my elder brother's archery skills, isn't it invincible?"

"This is too powerful." Bai Tian said and added: "I mean this crossbow you gave me."

Bai Taotao: "That's why my eldest brother is so good. A good crossbow must be used by someone who knows how to use it. It won't work if it's someone who doesn't know how to use arrows."

Bai Tian: "I remember that before you got married, you were pretty good with arrows. Then I can feel more at ease when you have this crossbow by your side in the future. But you still have to tell your family when something happens, you know? I heard that the city Is anyone selling that braised food too?"

The original owner was the family favorite before he got married. He followed his three brothers and was very good at reading and archery.

The original owner and his three brothers were all literate, and they were all taught by the original owner’s father. Because the original owner's father went to school for two years when he was young, but he gave up because something happened at home and there was no condition for him to continue studying.

Later, when he got married and had children, he did not impose his regrets on his children. All three children knew the conditions at home, so they did not choose to go to school, and the original father did not force them.

I just teach the children everything I have learned, so that the children can learn some words and it is also good.

Thanks to the original owner being literate, and being literate, she also liked to tinker with all kinds of food, so her family didn't think there was anything unusual about her now.

Bai Taotao didn't expect her eldest brother to be so well-informed about the information, but she had no intention of hiding it, so she smiled and said: "Brother, there is no need to worry. I bought and tasted that braised food. It was not good at making it, so it will only last a few days at most. Everyone will definitely not buy it again after eating it. It will get better after a while. You have to have more confidence in the food that your little sister and I make. Besides, your little sister and I don’t only make this kind of food, so this won’t work. Then I’ll just trade it for something else and sell it.”

"I'm not worried about you when making food. What I'm worried about is that jealous people will cause trouble for you."

"Then brother, there is no need to worry. I also have weapons at my side. Don't worry, your little sister, I am not a troublemaker. If it really doesn't work, didn't I just say it? In the worst case, I won't do that braised food business. Well. I will protect myself. Big brother, you have to protect yourself even when you go to the battlefield, you know?"

When it comes to going to the battlefield, how can Bai Taotao not be worried, but her eldest brother is a man and a responsible man, so she can only hide her worries and put less pressure on her eldest brother.

"Brother Tian Tian, ​​we are calling everyone to gather." Zhang Xiaohu from the same village came to inform Tian Tian. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Bai Taotao, and then said hello with a smile: "My little sister is back today."

Bai Taotao raised her lips and replied: "Yes, come back to see my eldest brother off. Brother Xiao Huzi is also going to the military camp?"

"Then you must go. This is a major matter of protecting our country and our country. We must go."

"Brother Da Huzi will also join the military camp after the new year. Now you also go to the military camp. Who will take care of the family, all of which are old people?"

"My sister-in-law is still at home, and my parents are still strong. They agreed to my going to the military camp, so there is no need to worry."

After listening to Zhang Xiaohu's words, Bai Taotao felt a little more admiration for Zhang Xiaohu's parents.

Both sons of this couple were sent to the military camp. This requires a lot of courage.

Of course, she also admired Zhang Dahu's daughter-in-law. Zhang Xiaohu also went to the military camp, and she was the only young person in the family to take care of three elderly people and a two-year-old daughter.

But as Zhang Xiaohu said, it's okay that his parents are still strong.

Seeing that Bai Taotao didn't speak, Zhang Xiaohu opened his mouth, but he swallowed the words as they reached his lips.

Seeing this, Bai Taotao guessed that he probably had something to say, so she asked, "Brother Xiao Huzi, do you have anything to say?" Tian Tian left quietly.

Zhang Xiaohu replied with some embarrassment: "It's okay, I just wanted to ask how you are doing lately?"

Bai Taotao nodded: "Very good."

"As long as it's fine, you will be a mother from now on, so take good care of yourself."

Bai Taotao continued to nod: "Well, don't worry, I will take care of myself. You and your elder brother have gone to the military camp, so you should also take care of yourselves."

Zhang Xiaohu also nodded. After thinking for a while, he mustered up the courage to speak after swallowing the words he just swallowed: "If, I mean if, if I come back alive..."

"Let's go." Before he could finish his words, Bai Tian walked out of the house with his luggage on his back.

Zhang Xiaohu had no choice but to give up in the end, "Forget it, it's fine just like this. Let's wait until we get back alive."

If you can't come back, everything you do now will be in vain.

Looking at Zhang Xiaohu's lonely back, Bai Taotao knew exactly what his unsaid words were, but even if she knew, she couldn't give him any response.

And no response is the best response.

After sending his eldest brother and Zhang Xiaohu out of the village, Bai Taotao drove the bullock cart back to the village first.

In the evening, she secretly went out to trade grain.

Since we had oxcarts, grain trading became much more convenient.

All she had to do was make an appointment for the latter part of the night, and then go out secretly to drive the bullock cart.

Shopkeeper Fan wanted 80,000 jins of grain this time, but Baitaotao did not agree and only gave 10,000 jins of refined grains, 20,000 jins of coarse grains and 20,000 jins of fine grains.

In this way, I got another hundred and forty taels of silver.

In ancient times, food was in short supply and was a consumable. Therefore, the food produced by Baitaotao would not have any impact on the market at all, but could instead help many people at the bottom.

What's more, this year's situation is like this. From the end of the new year to now it is already July, and God has not rained at all. I don't know what will happen in the future. Food will only be more scarce by then.

It would be good to put some food out now.

Although Bai Taotao didn't understand why Shopkeeper Fan, a grain seller, was still smuggling grain in private. Even except for refined grains, the price of other grains is one to two cents lower than the normal grain price. But some people have that kind of sentiment. If you don’t understand it, there’s no need to understand it. Anyway, as long as people can buy cheap food to eat.

******
After many days since competitors appeared in the braised food business, Baitaotao and his braised food business has begun to slowly pick up.

As mentioned that day, the taste of the braised food made by the other party is very different, and customers who know how to eat will know how to choose.

Sometimes, just because something is cheaper than others, business will definitely be good.

This is especially true for eating.
