Chapter 32 Feng Shi came to help pick up the house
Li Tannian closed the morning stall, and when she passed by the meat market, the mutton stall owner said hello to her from a distance.
"Girl, are you here to go to the market again? Do you want to buy some sheep and scorpions?" The mutton stall owner almost burst out laughing.
Yesterday, the whole lady didn't come to buy the sheep and scorpions all afternoon, which directly resulted in his pile of sheep and scorpions not being exchanged for money. When he thought about the scene where he refused to sell, he regretted it.
If he had known earlier, he should have sold the sheep and scorpions to Li Tannian, at least he could have made some money!
Li Tannian glanced at the mutton and scorpion stall, and the mutton stall owner hurriedly said: "It's fresh, girl. Don't worry, it's all today's goods. I've fed all the goods from yesterday to wild dogs."
Li Tannian nodded and looked at the sheep and scorpion on the ground who was only half carrying a basket, so he took out ten coins and gave it to him.
The mutton stall owner was very happy. While helping her pretend, he asked again: "Girl, what did you buy this for?"
Li Tannian didn't talk much, so he avoided the important and said lightly: "Eat."
The mutton stall owner smiled. How could he not know that he was eating it? But how to eat this mutton scorpion? There is no need to stew it so much every day.
Seeing that Li Tannian was unwilling to say more, he couldn't ask more questions, so he had to suppress his doubts.
When Li Tannian left the mutton stall, she bought two kilograms of soap locust from a roadside stall.
When the three mothers returned to the village, it was still early.
She boiled the rice in the pot and asked Lu Dabao to watch the fire. Then she carried the basket on her back and went to the mountain to check the hunting trap.
Erbao and Sanya still wanted to follow, but Li Tannian refused.
She was afraid that when she used ak, she would scare the two little beans.
Neither Erbao nor Sanya expected to be rejected by Li Tannian, so they wrung their hands, feeling aggrieved.
However, they always know how to accept things when they are happy. Today, the stepmother not only took them to the town, but also bought them sugar candy. The stepmother is already very, very good.
So, chased by the reluctant eyes of the two little ones, Li Tannian quickly walked into the mountain.
Li Tannian first checked along the hunting snare. As she imagined, the hunting snare was empty and she didn't catch anything at all.
It was quiet in the mountains, and her ears were very good. She could only hear something running quickly in the forest, and she quickly aimed the AK deep into the forest.
Just hearing the sound of a 'mortar', something heavy fell to the ground in the forest.
Li Tannian hurriedly got into the woods and saw a silly roe deer that had been hit!
After picking up the silly roe deer into her basket, she walked deeper into the forest. When she came out again, she shot three more gray hares!
Thinking that it was already getting late, Li Tannian did not delay any further. He packed the loot into his backpack in an orderly manner and walked down the mountain.
Before I returned home, I heard a commotion coming from my small courtyard from a distance.
Li Tannian's heart tightened, and he hurried home and heard Erbao say: "Uncle Feng Shi, are these grains and grass enough? If not enough, I will give you some more?"
"How could it be possible? Didn't you see how big a hole there is in our roof? We can't let daddy get wet in the rain just to let you see the stars."
After Sanya's voice fell, Li Tannian walked in and saw Feng Shi standing on the roof of his house.
"Hand it over first." Feng Shi smiled honestly and saw Li Tannian coming into the house, as well as the hare and roe deer in the basket on her back!
The roe deer was quite big and took up most of the basket on his back. Adding in the three hares, Li Tannian's basket contained a lot of prey.
Feng Shi was shocked by the scene in front of him.
When he came here before and heard that Li Tannian went to the mountain to collect hunting snares, he didn't take it to heart at all. After all, the family of Lu Liushun, the blacksmith in the village, often put hunting snares on the mountain. As a result, his family did not catch much prey for a year and a half.
Li Tannian, she, how long has it been since she put those hunting snares out, and she actually hunted so many things?
"Uncle Feng Shi is here to help us pick up a house. He said that a heavy rainstorm is coming, and we can't let us be woken up by the rain at night." Lu Dabao's voice came at the right time.
After Lu Zhi's accident, Feng Shi came often to help with the work. Li Tannian was not surprised. He just nodded and went straight to the small pot to get hot water and skin the prey.
Feng Shi had just recovered from his daze, and was startled again when he saw Li Tannian squatting in the courtyard, neatly peeling off his skin.
"Wow, stepmother, there are so many rabbits!" Sanya finally discovered something strange in the basket, and she came forward in surprise.
If she had known earlier, she would have had the shamelessness to go into the mountains with her stepmother!
Erbao had long forgotten that he was helping Feng Shi deliver grain and grass, and came forward in a daze.
Little Si Bao was even more happy and pointed at the rabbit, saying "baaaaah" non-stop.
"Stay away, don't get blood on your body." Li Tannian was amused. He quickly cut the skin on the rabbit's knee joint with a knife and neatly smoothed it out.
Feng Shi opened his mouth, this, is this still Li Tannian?
In the past, Li Tannian was lazy and cowardly. She was obviously an ugly girl from the countryside, but she always felt that she was superior to others and did nothing but wait for Lu Zhi to come back with money and give it to her!
Li Tannian noticed the appraising gaze on the beam, and she knew it was Feng Shi without even thinking.
After Wu Zi had hunted out all the prey, Li Tannian went to the stove to cook.
The rabbits hunted today were fat and big, and looked delicious. Li Tannian took one out and planned to make spicy rabbit dices.
Perhaps because he wanted to eat meat, Xiao Sibao was particularly excited. He pulled on Li Tannian's coat and skirt and refused to let go. In the end, it was Lu Dabao who carried him under the stove and he stopped.
Although Erbao and Sanya also wanted to join in the fun on the stove, Uncle Feng Shi was still waiting for them to hand over grain and grass. The two little guys gritted their teeth and finally walked towards the wooden ladder.
At noon, Li Tannian cooked spicy rabbit cubes and shepherd's purse omelette soup. Just then he asked Lu Dabao to call Feng Shi for dinner, and asked Sanya to invite Yuan Sanniang over.
Dabao and Sanya were overjoyed and hurried to do it.
So, at noon, there were two more people at the table.
How did Yuan Sanniang know that Lu Zhi's wife asked her to come here for dinner? If she had known earlier, she would not have come.
Life in Manager Lu's family is hard enough, how can she still take advantage of others?
Looking at the large pot of rabbit meat on the table, she was a little at a loss: "Daughter-in-law Lu Zhi, Sanniang, I don't like meat, please let a few more children eat more."
Feng Shi was also a little uncomfortable. He used to help with work, but Li Tannian never let him eat.
If you had known earlier, if Li Tannian wanted to keep him for dinner, he would come back to work after dinner.
"Sanniang, you don't have to be polite to me. I also cooked sheep and scorpions in the pot. If the rabbit meat is not enough, we can also eat sheep and scorpions."
Feng Shi glanced in the direction of the iron pot and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
The lamb scorpion made by Li Tannian tastes really good. After tasting it that day, he would think of it from time to time.
He originally thought that he would never be able to eat again in this life...
Thinking of this, he glanced at the woman at the table without trace.
She has changed, she really has changed. When she came home, she started cooking and even cooked such a table of delicious dishes! She really looked a bit like other mothers.
Li Tannian noticed his gaze and gave Yuan Sanniang a piece of fish meat: "Let's eat the rabbit meat. The sheep and scorpions should be cured as well."
A suspicious blush suddenly appeared on Feng Shi's dark face. For some reason, he always felt that Li Tannian's words were directed at her.
"Daughter-in-law Lu Zhi, please leave me alone. I'm an old man. It doesn't matter whether I eat or not. You should give your four children more to eat. Don't waste these good things on me."
As Yuan Sanniang spoke, she was about to pick out the rabbit meat in the bowl to Lu Dabao who was nearest to her.
"Sanniang, our family is not short of food." Li Tannian saw this and said at the right time, "I hunted all these rabbit meats from the mountains. Not only this one, there are also ones on the stove. Moreover, I also sell sheep and scorpions.
Once you have the money, you don’t have to worry about us.”
Yuan Sanniang was slightly surprised. All this rabbit meat was hunted by Lu Zhi’s wife. How could she be so powerful with such a thin and frail body?
Also, Lu Zhi’s wife also said that she sold the sheep and scorpions for money?
Yuan Sanniang hesitated for a moment, then realized what she was doing.
The sheep and scorpions cooked by Lu Zhi’s wife are indeed delicious, and it’s not surprising that they sell for a lot of money. So, things are going to get better for Lu Zhi’s family!
"Yes, Third Grandma, you should eat more, our family has no shortage of food now." Sanya said happily.
Yuan Sanniang was touched in her heart, she had already said this, it would be bad if she refused further.
But she was a little embarrassed about eating other people's food for no reason. After a pause, she just said: "Well, is there anything in the house that requires my help?"
Li Tannian knew what she was thinking, nodded and said: "Don't worry, Sanniang, if so, I will not be polite to you."
Afterwards, the four little bean sprouts also served Yuan Sanniang with rabbit meat, and the atmosphere at the table lost the previous restraint.
The spicy rabbit dices made by Li Tannian are fragrant and appetizing. She cut the rabbit meat into small dices and passed it through a frying pan. The rabbit meat turned into a crispy yellow color. Added with spices and chili, the rabbit meat was instantly delicious.
The deliciousness of the meat and the spiciness of the chili are perfectly integrated into one, and those who eat it simply can't stop eating.
The four little ones were quickly inhaled by the spicy food.
Li Tannian originally wanted them to wash the rabbit meat with boiled water, but they obviously preferred the spicy taste of spicy rabbit cubes.
After a while, a bowl of spicy rabbit cubes was finished. Li Tannian took the bowl away and brought another pottery bowl of sheep and scorpions to the table.
Feng Shi was satisfied with his meal. For a moment, he envied Lu Zhi for having a wife with such good cooking skills.
