Chapter 198: A Chance Encounter

The latest chapter of "The Peasant Landlord's Wife"...

"Got it, Uncle Ming." Luo Jiu responded obediently, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and stepped forward to carry the basket under the eaves onto the ox cart.

After everything was moved, Fan Ming said to Hui Niang, who was washing dishes in the house, waved his whip, and drove the ox cart to the town.

Hui Niang washed the bowls in the pot unhurriedly, Miao Miao played at home for a while, and then went out to play.

Seeing Miao Miao leave, when she was done, Hui Niang wiped her wet hands, took the key and basket, locked the door, and went to the Fan family's utility room.

It's still early now, probably seven or eight o'clock in the morning, the sun hasn't reached the door of Hui Niang's house, some of the villagers who got up early have been busy outside, and now they are going back to breakfast, and Old Man Fan is one of them.

Old man Fan had already gone out, and before leaving, he told Li to make breakfast.

Li rubbed on the bed for a long time before he got up, and now he was making breakfast unhurriedly, his face tense, and there was still a little impatience on his face.

I scolded Old Man Fan countless times in my heart, I split my family, I am this dead old man, I want to divide my family, I cook here every day, I have to feed pigs, I am tired like something, when I didn't divide my family before, I don't know how good my life is.

Li Shi was very angry when he thought about it, and walked out and shouted at Ruhua and Ruyu in the house, "Ruhua, Ruyu, you two dead girls, you can't get up yet, I still have to serve you two every day, don't you?" ”

No one in the room answered, but there was a rustling sound.

Hui Niang took the saltpeter out of the utility room, and happened to meet the Li family who called Ruhua and Ruyu, one of the two was on the far right and the other on the far left, and the eyes of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were fighting in the air.

Hui Niang was about to leave, but the Li family on the opposite side had already pointed at Hui Niang and shouted, "Liu." What are you doing in the utility room early in the morning? ”

Li's voice was surprisingly loud, for fear that others wouldn't know that it was her name, thinking that if Liu's dared to talk back, she would directly say that Liu's stole things.

Hui Niang glanced at Li lightly, called Shengniang, and then closed the door of the utility room as if nothing happened, and then under Li's eyes, she threw her hand and left directly, ignoring her.

Li stomped his feet angrily, stood at the door and scolded Hui Niang for a long time. It wasn't until Ruhua went out to call her that she came back to her senses.

Li Shi couldn't get angry, and pointed at Ruhua is scolding. "You lazy, you're dead, my mother called you for a long time, and you just got up, didn't you see that your mother and I were busy? What are you doing standing there? Don't let me come over and feed the pigs yet. ”

Ruyu behind Ruhua laughed gloatingly. Who knew that just after laughing, he was also scolded by the Li family, "What are you laughing at, don't laugh like a flower, you yourself are no better, look at what you look like." How old am you, still sleeping lazy, don't you see that I'm busy working. Don't know how to help me do something? ”

Ruyu was stunned and stunned, a small face was aggrieved, and tears might fall at any time.

Li Shi drank again, "What are you still doing in a daze, didn't you understand what I said?" ”

Lee is very angry now. Thinking that the Liu family disobeyed her, even if her daughter didn't listen to her. She is tired and tired, and she doesn't know how to help, looking at the two of them, she naturally doesn't have such a good temper.

Ruhua was used to being scolded by the Li family, so she had already been very calm, and answered honestly: "I know, mother." "If the flowers are finished, then go into the kitchen and get pig food to feed the pigs.

Ruyu was still standing there and didn't leave, but Li Shi swept over with another look, and said coldly: "Don't go yet." ”

Ruyu swayed twice in the wind, covered her face with her sleeve, and went back to her room crying.

When Li heard Ruyu's voice, he came back to his senses and knew that he had said something wrong, so he immediately followed in and apologized to Ruyu, saying that she said the wrong thing, and she shouldn't have scolded her, and she said a lot of things, and by the way, she also scolded Hui Niang.

Ruyu was coaxed by the Li family a few times, and her face was naturally coaxed with a smile, but there was something wrong with her heart, even if her mother was useless, she still put the fire on her, she couldn't say anything, but she looked at the Li family at this time, how dare she talk back to her.

Besides, after Hui Niang took the saltpeter from the utility room, she naturally heard Li's scolding, but she didn't take it to heart, so she thought that her left ear went in and her right ear went out, so she could suddenly worry about everything.

After returning home, Hui Niang immediately couldn't wait to recall the ice-making method she saw.

Hui Niang has never seen the specific steps, so she can only try it by herself, because there is not much saltpeter back, and Hui Niang does not dare to use too much water.

A small half bucket of water was filled with a bucket, and saltpeter was put in, and a large washed jar was placed in it, which was also filled with some water.

Hui Niang didn't know if she could succeed, so she stood by and watched for a while, but didn't see anything why, and turned around and went into the house.

I think when I come out later, I can become ice, right? Isn't that what I saw in the books before? If it didn't work, she couldn't think of any other good way.

Hui Niang took out the money from the cloth bag that she had set up in the town yesterday, and then counted the strings with thread and hung one by one, and after doing all this, Hui Niang removed a cabinet, lifted a board, and took out a medium clay pot from below and placed it on the ground.

The money in the family, Hui Niang is divided, this clay pot is not big, it is filled with the money that Hui Niang has earned when setting up a stall in the town these days, all of which are copper plates that are hung and hanged, which add up to about ten taels of silver.

On weekdays, Hui Niang takes the money from here, and she is busy these days, and she didn't have time to go to the money bank to exchange it for broken silver, so she kept putting it together, plus asking someone to grow sweet potatoes or something, and it also cost several dollars.

Hui Niang put the money she had just counted in, put the jar back in the position just now, the cabinet was also moved, everything was restored, and she was sure that she couldn't see anything, so Hui Niang stood up.

The location of the money is hidden, and Hui Niang is not worried that someone will come in and steal something, even if she comes in, she can't steal anything, speaking of which, she has to give credit for everything and the Li family, who loves the door, last time she had that lesson, how dare she put the money or something, in the cabinet.

The more inconspicuous the place, the less suspicious it is. Naturally, she put the silver somewhere else.

After doing this, more than half an hour has passed, and the sun outside is getting bigger and bigger, so Hui Niang plans to go to the kitchen to see, has the ice been successfully made?

went to the kitchen, Hui Niang walked over to take a look, and was stunned.

I didn't expect it to be really frozen, Hui Niang was happy like something, and immediately rushed forward like a child. I touched and touched the ice.

I was also extremely glad in my heart, I really didn't expect it......

……

It's not noon yet. Fan Ming drove the ox cart back, and as soon as he entered the house, he heard Hui Niang humming happily, and she was in a happy mood.

"Daughter-in-law, I'm back." Fan Ming shouted.

"Oh. You're back, huh? ”

Then Fan Ming walked in, took a scoop, scooped a bowl of water, and drank it violently.

Luo Jiu didn't go in after him, and helped move the things on the ox cart one by one and put them under the eaves.

Hui Niang turned around and looked at Fan Ming with a smile. "Why is it so early today?"

Fan Ming wiped the water from the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "Yes, daughter-in-law." Do you know who I'm meeting in town today? "I deliberately sold a pass with Hui Niang.

Hui Niang was stunned, raised her eyes to look at him, and asked, "Who?" "Who deserves to be so happy with Fan Ming?

"Daughter-in-law, you must not guess." Fan Ming looked proud. looked like she was waiting for Hui Niang to ask.

Who knows, Hui Niang didn't ask any further. glanced at Fan Ming, who was full of happiness, and lowered his head to be busy with the things in his hands.

Fan Ming swallowed his saliva and asked, "Daughter-in-law, don't you want to know that?" ”

Hui Niang couldn't help but be a little amused when she saw that Fan Ming wanted her to beg him, then nodded and said, "Yes, I can't guess, you say?" ”

Fan Ming smiled contentedly, "I met the little master we met in the restaurant today." ”

"Huh?" Meet whom? Hui Niang suspected that her ears had misheard, "What is there to be happy about meeting him." ”

Hui Niang couldn't help but splash Fan Ming's cold water, thinking about that little brat, Hui Niang was angry.

"Daughter-in-law, of course I'm not happy about this, I'm happy that I sold more money today than yesterday." Fan Ming said and patted the bulging little backpack.

Speaking of making more money today than yesterday, Hui Niang squinted her eyes again.

Then Fan Ming took off the small backpack he was carrying and gave it to Hui Niang, and then Fan Ming told Hui Niang what happened.

It's really unfortunate to say that today, there are no double robes, every time Fan Ming and the others haven't arrived in the town to set up a stall, there are many people waiting there.

I don't know what happened today, Fan Ming went to the town, no one was waiting there, there was no one on the street, which made Fan Ming a little inexplicable, and he didn't see half of the guests come to the door after waiting for a long time.

Fan Ming was a little anxious, thinking about what kind of unlucky day it was today, but there were not even guests, and finally pulled someone to ask, Fan Ming realized that all those people had gone to Banye Temple.

It's not a New Year's festival or a festival, what are those individuals going to do in Banye Temple? Fan Ming was a little strange.

The man saw that Fan Ming didn't know, so he kindly told him that there was a great man in the temple in the middle of the night, and he prayed there, and everyone who knew went to see it.

Big shots, what big shots? Will any other big man come to this little place in their Willow Town? Fan Ming listened in a daze.

When he asked again, the man didn't tell Fan Ming, and hurriedly said a few words to him and left, saying that he was also going to see the so-called big man.

Then Fan Ming discussed with Luo Jiu, and the two decided to go to Banye Temple, anyway, there are no people here, if the things can't be sold, is it difficult to take them back and eat them yourself? Having made up their minds, the two men packed up their things and drove the ox cart away.

Banye Temple, said that it is not far away, from Liuye Town, it only takes half an hour to reach Banye Temple.

When I arrived at the place, Banye Temple was already crowded, and Fan Ming couldn't squeeze in front, even if he squeezed in, there was no place to park the ox cart, so Fan Ming found a place at random, and moved the things on the car down, and then began to learn Hui Niang's set and shouted.

Just got up, Fan Ming saw a person standing in front of him, followed by two small guys, this person said that he was not familiar, he was not familiar, but he still met once, Fan Ming's memory is very good.

Do you remember people, do people remember you? Fan Ming is not the kind of person who likes to pat people's ass, even if he recognizes it, he doesn't hold back it in his heart and greets people politely.

Jiang Yu, on the other hand, couldn't calm down, and asked Fan Ming as soon as he opened his mouth, "That, have we met somewhere?" ”

Fan Ming frowned, denied it directly, Jiang Yu was interested, thought about it, and said loudly: "Oh, who are you, I've seen you, aren't you just ugly ......" Jiang Yu realized that it was rude to say these words from his mouth, and changed his words: "Aren't you the husband of the person who sold the vegetable recipe last time?" ”
