Chapter 16 The Stepmother Is Not Right

Li Tannian looked at Sanya's face that was not red and breathless, and felt that she had practiced this skill to the point of proficiency. He also heard the old man with a white beard say with regret: "It's eel, but people don't eat it."

Well, you really don’t blame me for not helping you.”

Li Tannian didn't want to carry the eel back on his back, so he thought for a moment and said, "I won't eat it because I haven't eaten it before. Once you have tasted it, you will know how good it is. Can I lend it to your kitchen?"

The old man with a white beard glanced at April Tian's accountant. The accountant understood and nodded hurriedly.

Li Tannian quickly cooked two portions of eel, one braised and one stir-fried. They were all full of color, flavor and flavor, and made people move their index fingers.

The old man with the white beard and the cashier were both surprised and tasted the eel with their chopsticks. They were amazed at the taste of the eel and immediately bought all the eels from Li Tannian.

A barrel of eels weighed about fifty kilograms in total. No one had ever bought and sold eels before, so the accountant added an appropriate two cents to the price of the carp, which equaled twelve pennies per catty.

Li Tannian really had no objection to this.

After all, there are still a lot of eels in the rice fields. If she supplies the April Sky Restaurant for a long time, she can make a lot of money from eels in the future.

After coming out of April Sky Restaurant, Li Tannian put more than 600 Wen in his pocket and took Sanya to the meat market.

She originally planned to buy some meat back, but unexpectedly, the meat stall owner went to business, and a group of people surrounded his shop.

While frowning, a hawking sound came from far away: "Mutton is on sale. Absolutely fresh mutton. Don't miss it if you pass by."

Li Tannian's eyes fell from the lamb legs hanging on the mutton stall to the sheep scorpions piled on the ground. Her eyes lit up and she looked towards Sanya.

"Eating sheep and scorpions?"

Sanya nodded subconsciously, and by the time she realized that sheep and scorpions cannot be eaten, Li Tannian had already hurried to the mutton stall.

The mutton stall owner was originally very friendly, but when he saw Li Tannian, he came up to her. He was very cold, but when he heard that she wanted sheep and scorpions, the mutton stall owner's smile dropped and he looked at Li Tannian strangely.

Seeing that her clothes were old and she had a half-year-old child, she suddenly said angrily: "You can pretend to be as much as you want."

Li Tannian glanced at the sheep and scorpions on the ground: "How to sell them?"

Sanya tugged at her: "Stepmother, are you okay? What are you doing with the sheep and scorpions?"

"No money, no money, just pretend and leave."

The angry voice of the mutton stall owner came to my ears again. This time, it was Li Tannian's turn to look strange.

There are so many sheep and scorpions, but they don’t want money?

However, everyone said so, and Li Tannian was not polite at all, and just put the sheep and scorpion in a small half-carrying basket.

She did not leave directly, but took out about ten copper coins and handed them to the mutton stall owner.

The owner of the mutton stall was a little confused: "I told you I don't want any money, so you can just take it and leave."

Li Tannian smiled. She had acne on her face, which was definitely not good, but the mutton stall owner was somehow attracted by her smiling eyes, which were very bright and beautiful.

"Thank you." Li Tannian put the copper plate on the table and left.

Sanya glanced at the mutton stall owner who had not yet reacted, and hurriedly followed him.

"Stepmother, the Goat and the Scorpion are worthless in the first place. He doesn't want your money anymore, so why do you still give him money?" Are you stupid?

"You will know in the future that no reward will be given without merit, and don't take other people's things for no reason, especially girls."

While Li Tannian was talking, his wife and son had already left the street.

Sanya didn't expect that the stepmother, who had always been overbearing and unreasonable, would actually understand these big principles, and she couldn't help but be startled.

She subconsciously looked at Li Tannian's head and couldn't help but wonder, was there really no problem there?

"Candied haws on a stick, sell candied haws on a stick." A burst of shouting came.

Sanya saw a vendor carrying a candied haws on a straw pole from a distance. The shiny shell made her swallow her saliva.

Li Tannian walked in front and soon realized that Sanya had not followed. When she turned around, she saw the little guy staring at someone else's candied haws.

"Little girl, buy a bunch of candied haws on a stick." The vendor seemed to have noticed Sanya's gaze, and took out a candied haws on a stick with a smile.

Sanya clutched the two silver coins, wanting to buy them but reluctant to part with them.

This is life-saving money for her father, how could she use it casually?

After a long stalemate, a pair of hands reached out, and Li Tannian handed her a handful of copper coins.

"Buy four skewers, one for each person."

Sanya looked at Li Tannian in disbelief.

"You and Erbao helped me catch eels. This is what you deserve." Li Tannian's voice was light.

Sanya was pleasantly surprised, but then she was afraid that she would regret it, so she hurriedly took the money: "Stepmother, I don't want to eat candied haws, let's go back quickly."

She had to save the money for her father's medical treatment, but she couldn't just spend it like this.

Li Tannian: "······"

Vendor selling candied haws: "······"

Li Tannian was dragged out of the meat market by Sanya.

When passing by a drug store, she went in and bought some star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon and other seasonings.

In this era, star anise, bay leaves, and cinnamon were only used for medicinal purposes, and no one used them for cooking. Therefore, the medicine shop owner had never seen anyone buying them so randomly. He couldn't help but ask a few more questions, but Li Tannian insisted.

, just collected the money and gave her medicine.

When she led Sanya out of the market, many villagers were already standing beside the bullock cart waiting for them.

Those people were originally a little dissatisfied with them for wasting time. Since they came over, pairs of eyes glanced at Li Tannian's back, and in the end, only a sneer was left.

"Hey, wife Lu Zhi, where did you pick up so many bones? What did you do with them?"

"Don't you want to treat those children harshly? Just feed them these things that even dogs won't eat."

Sanya originally didn't know why Li Tannian bought so many bones. When they heard what they said, she felt a little scared.

However, out of fear, Sanya puffed out her cheeks and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? My stepmother even bought us candied haws."

Everyone was surprised that Li Tannian, the evil stepmother, actually bought candied hawsfuls of sugar haws for Sanya and the others?

Even Li Tannian did not expect that Sanya would help her clarify. The little guy grinned at her, and Li Tannian secretly thought: He is a conscientious person, and his mood is inexplicably better.

After returning to the house, Li Tannian cooked a pot of sheep scorpion and then stir-fried the brine with spices.

Lu Dabao pulled Sanya over in surprise: "Sanya, are you okay? Did she take you to any weird place?"
