Susie looked at the bag of apples. As far as she knew, apples were not grown in Guangxi Province. Thinking that Uncle Liao had been away for more than ten years before coming back, it was obvious that this thing was brought back from other places.

It seems that Uncle Liao does have his own way of making money outside.

Susie thought about it and did not refuse. After hearing Uncle Liao and his wife quarreling that day, she also understood the reason why Aunt Lan and Uncle Liao were good to her.

Be it bacon or apples, they can all be regarded as their investment in her.

As for the return on investment, it’s hard to say. Susie feels that she can still afford the favor of a bag of apples.

She smiled and said: "Okay, thank you Uncle Liao."

Uncle Liao smiled. He felt that Susie's attitude towards him had changed. It was no longer the polite and distant attitude before, but much more casual. This was a good thing.

As for the reason for her change, there is no need to investigate.

Liuzi smiled and put the apple into Susie's basket, and Susie walked away with the basket.

When Su Qian walked out of the courtyard, Liuzi asked in a low voice, "Master, is she the noble person who was born with koi luck?"

Uncle Liao nodded, "Boy, be respectful. Didn't you see just now that even if this girl doesn't have luck with the koi, she is not an ordinary person."

Liu Zi was still smiling, "You can tell, this girl doesn't look like she's just a teenager at all, she's too calm."

Uncle Liao raised his eyebrows, "Did you call me girl? When I see her from now on, I'll call her sister."

Liuzi's smile broke, "Sister? I'm already twenty-three, she's probably fifteen or sixteen at most, and I'm seven or eight years older than her!"

Uncle Liao chuckled, "Thankfully you are still running outside. Calling me brother or sister is not about who is older, but who has a higher status."

Liuzi sighed, "Master, are you planning to accept her as a closed disciple? Then I'll admit it. I know my talent is stupid. Master has taught me for so many years, but I haven't learned much."

"This girl's ears are higher than her eyebrows. She must be smart and wise, and she must be better than me."

Uncle Liao shook his head, "She is not on this path, and I am not qualified to be her master. If in the future -"

He waved his hand, "Forget it, let's not talk about that now."

"Don't go back in a hurry. Stay here for two days and let your mistress prepare some good food to supplement your meal."

The six sons became happy again and replied with a smile: "Okay, Master."

Su Qian had already returned to the collective home with the bamboo basket in hand.

Passing by the door of the room, she found that the door was locked, and Ruan Zhonghua and the others who were there just now were gone.

She quickly walked into the kitchen, only Zhao Tingting was there, "Where are they?"

Zhao Tingting stared at the apple, "Tian Xiaohui took them to the mountain to cut down trees, and Ruan Zhonghua said he would make a chicken coop for a few chickens."

Susie shook her head, "Oh, you invited them to be guests, why do you let them do things again?"

Zhao Tingting smiled, "Ruan Zhonghua brought it up himself. I felt embarrassed too, but Xiaohui didn't feel it at all and volunteered to take them up the mountain."

Su Qian shook her head, "Xiaohui doesn't seem to have been up the mountain herself, so don't get lost."

As she spoke, she picked up the bag of apples, counted the heads, and counted five. Then she returned to the house with the net bag and put the remaining apples in the cabinet.

Back in the kitchen, Susie looked at the wild bird and was worried, "How to do this? Is it possible to pluck out so many hairs one by one?"

Zhao Tingting opened the lid of the pot and found that the water in the pot was already boiling. She poured boiling water into the bucket and said, "It's easy to do. Once the water is boiled, the hair will almost fall off."

"I know how to do this. You can just choose and wash the vegetables."

Susie moved a small stool to choose vegetables, "Thank you for having you, how come you can't even do these?"

Zhao Tingting smiled and said, "I lived at my grandma's house in the countryside until I was twelve years old. I helped my family with all these things."

Su Qian saw Zhao Tingting holding the bird's neck and pouring a ladle of boiling water from top to bottom. After pouring several ladles of boiling water, Zhao Tingting began to pluck the bird's feathers quickly.

The bird's feathers fell off in large swaths, and after a while, only a bare bird remained.

Zhao Tingting permed it again and then began to pluck out the remaining fine hairs.

Susie had never seen it before, and she originally enjoyed watching it, but the boiling water in the basin was scalding the bird feathers, and the smell was too strong, so she quickly moved the small stool to the back door of the kitchen.

After Zhao Tingting finished cleaning up, she disemboweled the bird, chopped it into small pieces, and then heated a pot with oil.

Then put in the cinnamon and star anise I bought today, and the aroma will come out immediately. Once the bird meat is fried in the pot, the aroma will be overflowing.

Fry the bird meat until golden brown, then add some water and simmer over low heat.

By the time the two of them had finished cooking, Tian Xiaohui and the others hadn't come back yet.

Su Qian looked at the fragrant bird meat stewed on the kerosene stove and thought for a moment, "Tingting, let's save some bird meat for Qiao Mu Yuan Gang. This stuff is not easy to eat."

Zhao Tingting nodded. Su Qian is the most convinced of this. As long as she treats you as one of her own, she will never treat you badly.

Susie got up and took Qiao Mu's lunch box, put some in it.

Tian Xiaohui's shout came from outside, "We are back! Is the food ready? I'm starving to death."

I had to go to work today and had breakfast very early. It had been six or seven hours by now, so it would be strange if I wasn't hungry.

Su Qian walked to the door and saw Ruan Zhonghua and Wang Jihong coming back dragging a tree as thick as an arm.

Tian Xiaohui came in to scoop water and wash her hands, muttering, "Oh, I also convinced Ruan Zhonghua. I went up the mountain and said that this tree cannot be cut down, that tree cannot be cut down, and only miscellaneous trees that cannot grow can be cut down."

Susie said funnyly: "That's right."

Tian Xiaohui came out with a washbasin and stuck out her tongue, "That's right, it just made me walk a lot more."

She placed the basin next to the wall and said, "You two, wash up. After you wash up, it's time to eat."

Ruan Zhonghua and Wang Jihong washed their hands and entered the room. The table, dishes and chopsticks were all set.

In the middle of the table is a pot of bird meat, next to a pot of yellow scrambled eggs, and a few side dishes.

Ruan Zhonghua rubbed his hands, "How embarrassing, this life is too good."

Susie pulled him and said, "Sit down and eat, you're welcome."

Several people gathered around, and as soon as they started using their chopsticks, Niu Jianguo, Zhang Weidong, and Chen Jun entered the kitchen house. The three of them also went shopping and just came back, planning to make something to eat. Now that the autumn harvest is over, there are no people on duty.

Already.

When they came in, they saw Susie and the others eating lively around the table. There was a big bowl in the middle of the table. They didn't know what the dish was, but it was definitely meat!

There is still a fragrance that has not dissipated in this stove room.

Niu Jianguo leaned over and said, "What is this? It smells weird."

Tian Xiaohui said casually: "I picked up a wild bird on the road."

Niu Jianguo swallowed hard and stood at the table, sighing, "I'm so hungry. I haven't had lunch yet."

He hoped that if someone would be polite and ask him to eat, he would serve the meal accordingly.
