Leaving the approximate shoe size, Chen Ping said a few more words when he came to Pingdong, because he was going to the county tomorrow, the time to go into the mountain to get the set would be postponed.

Carrying the hare home, it was almost time to prepare dinner, Chen Ping washed the young rabbit, and then cut it into pieces, ready to stir-fry.

"Brother, I'm here to bring you business." was washing rabbit meat, Chen An came in from outside, followed by a child from the same village.

The child is Aunt Li's grandson, Chen Shanhu's child Chen Wang, who is seven years old, one year older than Chen An. He was not tall and slightly fat, especially the bun-like flesh that squeezed his small mouth into a circle.

"What business?" Chen Ping shook his hand and saw the cloth bag in Chen Wang's hand, "Wangcai, what are you holding in your hand?" ”

A little bad taste, have fun alone.

"It's feathers, I heard Chen An say that you collect feathers, a penny." Chen Wang was wearing cloth shoes, his jacket was stained with dust, his face had a few red marks, and there was a smell on his body.

Aunt Li's family has ducks, and there are quite a few of them, and they are usually driven to the river by Chen Shanhu, fishing and raising ducks on the other.

"It depends on what kind of feather it is, if it's a pheasant's, it's naturally a penny, if it's something else, it's five a penny, or ten can't be said." Chen Ping clapped his hands, put the clay pot away, and walked over, "What kind of feathers are you in this bag?" ”

"Duck feathers, big, very beautiful, can be a penny." Chen Wang grabbed the cloth bag, let go of a mouth, glanced at Chen Ping, and immediately closed it, "Isn't it?" ”

The little eyes, the small mouth, and a pair of small sunglasses, holding a cigarette stick, are the ten thousand evil rich people, and they are the kind of geese that pluck their feathers.

"Your feathers are too short, and they're only white, and they're all scratched. It's not worth much, and this bag may be worth a penny. There are quite a lot of feathers in the cloth bag, and there are tail feathers, and Chen Ping is now penniless in his hand, "If you can get a colored feather that is a foot long, it will be a penny." ”

"And if the feathers in your bag are broken, it's even more useless." Chen Ping glanced at Chen An, blinked his eyelids twice and said reproachfully, "Don't listen to half of the words in the future, I obviously said that the pheasant's tail feathers are only a penny, you look at you, you will bring prosperity, and cause people to run away in vain." ”

"Brother, when will you say ......" Chen An was about to talk back, when he saw Chen Ping's blinking eyelids, the words paused, and after a while, he turned his mouth and said, "Brother did say such a thing......

Chen Ping didn't blink, and laughed, and the children can be taught.

"It's because I don't have a good memory, and I haven't made up for my body recently, but the cheese is very good, and it can also replenish the brain, but it's too expensive." Chen An said, the cheese seemed to have become a brain tonic elixir, "Brother, do you think I can still eat cheese?" ”

This kid has a fast head, and he has actually learned to coerce.

"Okay, I'll go to the county tomorrow and bring you another jar of cheese." Chen Ping nodded.

"I don't want to be separated from the little lady." Last time, the little lady spilled the cheese, Chen An picked it up and ate it, and now there is still a shadow.

"Buy two cans, one can for each of you and Xiaoniang." Chen Ping once again met Chen An's request.

Chen An nodded with satisfaction, looked at Chen Wang, and said, "I told you a long time ago that you should be careful when plucking duck feathers, so as not to damage the duck feathers." Look at you, you got a bag, it's all waste. ”

"You didn't tell me to pull it out? One penny, I got so much, saying that I could exchange it for hundreds of pennies, and now give me a penny, I might as well throw it away. Chen Wang picked up the sack and was about to leave.

Chen An immediately stopped and grabbed Chen Wang: "Don't throw it away, a penny is also money, add up a lot, don't you have a lot of ducks at home?" If you pull it twice a day, that's two pennies, and if it's a long time, it's not a lot of money? ”

Chen Wang stopped, Chen An was right, there are indeed a lot of ducks in his own house, and he pulled them twice a day, no, it should be no problem to pull them out four or five times, that is, four or five dollars.

"Four or five cents." Chen Wang muttered twice and said, "No, it's still too little, and my grandfather will know if he plucks too many duck feathers." ”

"Wangcai, let me ask you a question." The duck down in the bag can be used to fill the jacket, and a few more times, make a duck down filled jacket for the little lady, and those ducks in Aunt Li's house have great potential to be dug up, Chen Ping stared at Chen Wang's chubby face and said with a smile, "After your hair is trimmed, will it grow?" ”

"Definitely." Chen Wang responded.

"Isn't that right, your hair can grow hair, why can't this duck grow feathers?" Chen Ping said, "A penny is a lot." If you pull it out several times a day, then you have four or five yuan, or even ten yuan, and you can go to the county to buy what you want to eat, steamed cakes, cheese, shortbread, pancakes, etc., you don't want to eat? ”

Chen Wang can't eat such things at home, Chen Shanhu strictly controls his diet, even if Aunt Li is reluctant to give some delicious food occasionally, it is also sneaky, otherwise Chen Shanhu will be seen by Chen Shanhu, Chen Wang will have to go hungry.

In this village, Chen Wang's wailing can often be heard, either hungry, or being trained by Chen Shanhu, two nights ago, Chen Ping heard it before going to bed.

In the night breeze, this is also the only public evening activity in the village.

"Can it really grow? Won't my grandpa know? Chen Wang is still afraid of Chen Shanhu.

"It's definitely going to grow." Chen Ping is sure of this, and as for the time, it may be a little longer.

"If it's really a duck like me, I'll sell you this bag of feathers for two pennies." Chen Wangdao.

"Okay, deal." Chen Ping looked at Chen An, "Xiao Anzi, you will lend me the two pennies first, and I will pay you back tomorrow." ”

Deducted two pennies from Chen An and gave it to Chen Wang, Chen Ping accepted the cloth bag, and cleaned up the duck down with Chen An and Chen Erniu, not much, just a small group, but it was also gratifying, as for the duck feathers that were okay, Chen Ping also stored them separately.

Although this duck feather looks plain, what if the imperial court is really in a hurry? Without a man, cucumbers can be settled.

The duck feathers and duck down were put away along with the cloth bag, and Chen Ping began to cook.

Stir-fried rabbit meat, a lot of pepper and peppercorns, Liu Shi was distressed again, and Chen An and Chen Erniu on the side smelled the smell but urged vigorously.

After a long time, Chen Ping, a person who can't cook, was finally able to open a small stew to the leaders of the project to improve the food, and he also figured out a few specialty dishes by himself.

Although this stir-fried rabbit meat is not, when it comes out of the pot, it also attracts Chen's father's praise.

With such a good dish, Chen Ping wanted to call Chen Ya's mother and daughter. Erniu chewed a piece in his mouth and held a piece of rabbit meat in his hand, and rushed back to urge Chen Hecai.

The three families had a meal and tasted Chen Ping's cooking skills again.
