Chapter 15: The Future of the Egg
The four of them sat around the dining table and began to eat, looking at the three dishes on the table, Liu praised the two sisters fiercely.
Shen expressed his support for the two girls' cooking skills with actions: "When I catch the market the day after tomorrow, I will buy all kinds of seasonings for you!" β
After all, this kitchen has just been used for a long time, and the seasonings in it are not even vinegar except for basic oil, salt and sugar, and the two sisters' cooking skills are limited in this regard. I heard Shen say this. Now Mu Lanxiao, who is keen on cooking, has bent his eyes.
"Speaking of rushing to the market, we have a lot of things to add! And fifteen Ah Cheng and Lan Lan have to bring some things to the county. It's hot, a few boys have to bring summer clothes, and the food in the Yuan Hall is average, the two big men are nothing, and the children are still growing up! Liu also said something when serving porridge.
"You can't bring too much, otherwise they won't be able to bring it over. Just bring two pieces of summer clothes, and bring a few pieces of braised beef to eat, after all, the children will come back once a month or two, but the eldest brother and Ayi need to bring more clothes, and they can get July when they take a summer break! β
The summer in Donghua County is very hot, the countryside is fine, basically no one in the county will go out in July, they are all at home, and the people who work long hours will have half a month of summer rest during this time, and the winter is also half a month off during the New Year, which is also the coldest time.
Time passed quietly in the common words. It's not too early, everyone is ready to sleep, Mu Lan looks at the three-colored wild eggs in his frame, no matter how he looks at it, he can't dispose of it by himself, and he still has to ask for help from Grandma.
But if Grandma asks the origin of these eggs, how should she answer? Mu Lan has a headache.
Telling a lie is also a lie, and lying two is also a lie, since it makes Grandma feel that she has a lot of strength, she will continue to start from this aspect!
Grandma, it's not that I'm going to lie to you, but if you tell the truth, no one will believe it.
After doing some psychological construction, Mu Lan walked towards the master bedroom.
"Knock knock!" The miracle is that after knocking on the door, Mu Lan's heart calmed down, and he didn't do anything bad, some people in this world are born to jump high and run fast, and it's nothing to show themselves, and it's not something too out of the ordinary, isn't it?
Shen heard the knock on the door, and was still curious, Liu should not come over at this point in time, and sometimes he can talk about it tomorrow, so who is knocking on the door? There are only two people left, Mu Cheng and Mu Lan, and Mu Cheng must be looking for the Liu family instead of his aunt if he has something, so only his daughter Mu Lan is left.
But what will happen to Mu Lan at such a late hour? Shen guessed, so he put down the needlework in his hand and went to open the door.
Sure enough, after seeing Mu Lan, Shen was not surprised, but was a little curious, "What's wrong Lan Lan, can't you sleep?" β
"Well, Grandma, can you come to my room, I have something for you?" Afraid of alarming Liu and Mu Cheng, Mu Lan lowered his voice, but the knock on the door just now had already alarmed Liu, and the door opened with a squeak, and Liu and Mu Cheng both walked out of the master bedroom over there, "What's wrong?" Liu asked.
"It's nothing, it's just that Lan Lan wants to ask her if she wants to embroider a purse for her brothers! Sister-in-law, you also know that this child's embroidery is not comparable to Ah Cheng, and this embroidery is bad and came to me for ideas! β
Mu Lan's embroidery is poor for all to see, and Liu didn't say anything and smiled at Mu Lan and retracted with Mu Cheng.
However, Shen's color darkened when he saw Mu Cheng and Liu come out together, but no one noticed it because of the light.
Seeing that the two went back, Shen closed the door and pulled Mu Lan to her room.
However, after entering Mu Lan's room, Shen didn't ask Mu Lan what he was looking for, but asked Mu Lan first, "You guys went out with Xiao Wu today, right?" β
Although he didn't know why Shen asked this, Mu Lan still nodded, basically every time he went to the forest, Xiao Wu would be with them.
"Then is there anything strange about Xiao Wu today?"
Strange place! Mu Lan blinked, "Ah, today Xiao Wu deliberately wants to break me from whispering with Mu Cheng, so I'll go on an adventure." When I went back, I heard Sister Ah Cheng say something: 'You can't just look at your cousin! You see, your brother and sister didn't measure it! Don't scare yourself. I don't know anything else. β
Hearing Shen nodding and revealing a look of surprise, Mu Lan asked curiously, "Grandma, did something happen?" β
Hearing this, Shen smiled and touched his beautiful head, "It's nothing, it has nothing to do with us!" By the way, what is Lanlan doing looking for Grandma? β
Getting back to business, Mu Lan began to show her achievements today. Mu Lan carefully took her sewing basket and uncovered the gown. Sure enough, when he saw these eggs, Shen, who had always been calm, didn't cover his mouth to prevent himself from accidentally screaming.
"Lanlan, where did you get these eggs?" Shen asked anxiously.
"Grandma, didn't you tell me before that we have a special pheasant here every year at this time of year in the forest, and I saw it today! I saw a lot of eggs in it, and a lot of those pheasants weren't in the nest, so I secretly took some! Didn't my aunt once say that these eggs are rare? I didn't dare to sue Sister SΓΉ Ah Cheng. β
Hearing this, Shen didn't say anything, just sat there.
After a long while, Mu Lan felt that he was about to fall asleep, and Shen said sternly: "Lan Lan, no matter where you see that group of pheasants, you are not allowed to go to that place in the future." You are not allowed to sue anyone, you know? β
Seeing Shen like this, Mu Lan thought to herself: "Even if you want to go, you have to have that ability!" So one leader is there, don't die! However, Mu Lan nodded obediently on the surface.
Shen thought to himself: This flock of three-colored pheasants has great ability to track people, and this year's landing here will soon be tracked by those people, if others know that their family gets these, it will definitely cause a storm.
These eggs are hot potatoes but people are reluctant to throw them away, thanks to his brother's friendship with the big restaurant in the county capital, this thing can still be sold, which is also a windfall, but it is better to make up a set of excuses that people can't find flaws.
Seeing that his mother's expression kept changing, Mu Lan, who was familiar with the Shen family, knew that the Shen family was now thinking of an idea to deal with these eggs, so he obediently sat aside.
Things should be done quickly rather than slowly, and Shen made up his mind to dispose of these eggs tomorrow.
He took a long breath and looked at the head peck like a chicken pecking rice next to him, and Shen smiled and slapped her awake. "Lanlan, Lanlan, wake up!"
Mu Lan, who was awakened, looked at Shen with confused eyes, and only came to his senses after a while.
Woo, the comfortable life has completely erased his wildness.
Mu Lan silently repented.
However, the confession is only for a while, and the Shen family is still beside him, obviously there is something to order!
Seeing that his daughter was awake, Shen said, "Lanlan, let's go to your little uncle's house early tomorrow." Lanlan, these eggs are expensive! Wait for your uncle to help sell it, and grandma will give you a tenth of your pocket money!
However, "
The point came, Mu Lan sat up straight, indicating that he was listening carefully, "When you go to your uncle's house, if your uncle asks you how these eggs came from, you will insist that you are in the mountains, and you exchanged a grass with someone you don't know, you know, you must say so!" β
Grandma is so smart! After listening to this, this was Mu Lan's first reaction. How did it come about? Someone sent it! Why send? Gave an unknown plant yourself!
Hehehe, there are so many strange people in this world, and now is the season of three-colored pheasants, no one knows what happened in the 10,000-acre forest, right!
As long as you are sure who can say anything, after all, it is obviously impossible for your mother and daughter to get so many eggs by themselves! As for what others think, that's someone else's business. Who cares about you in a one-time deal!
Mu Lan nodded vigorously to indicate that she understood.
Shen touched Mu Lan's head, "Go to bed early, we still have to get up early, your little uncle doesn't live close, let's go borrow a car!" β
After saying that, Shen went out, she still had a lot of things to prepare, and of course she didn't forget to take the pile of 'golden eggs' away.
Haha, you can make money, this is the thought that Mu Lan hovered in her mind before she fell asleep.
