Chapter 210: Bringing Food
"Bah, what are you talking nonsense again!" When Li Qinglin heard Jiang Cheng'er's words, he immediately spit out a few mouthfuls, and then pulled Jiang Cheng'er's clothes: "Quickly spit out all these things, while the Heavenly God and Buddha haven't heard what you said!" ”
Under the anxious eyes of the little guy, Jiang Cheng'er pretended to spit out a few mouthfuls reluctantly, and now what Jiang Cheng'er said just now also made Li Qinglin's attitude a little looser, if it is really as Jiang Cheng'er said, then this house is bound to be revised.
"We still have a few taels of silver, it must be enough, you can rest assured." Seeing the thoughtfulness in his eyes, Jiang Cheng'er walked over with a smile, raised his hand and patted his head lightly a few times, with a bit of casualness between his words, and quickly walked in.
There seemed to be a little less food in the house, squinting his eyes, Jiang Cheng'er looked around the kitchen, and didn't seem to see any traces of thieves, but the eggs he couldn't count clearly at that time, and they were indeed two or three less.
Now the chickens in this house can't lay eggs, and Jiang Cheng'er also has to buy the eggs they eat now, a few pennies a piece, which is very expensive, Jiang Cheng'er remembers it very clearly.
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, skillfully lighting a fire and cooking, Li Qinglin also walked in.
has been thinking about the silver in her hand, Jiang Cheng'er has been thinking about what the cost of seeing a house will be these days, and many materials and the like also need to be prepared by herself.
"Sister, the wheat sent by Aunt Song, let's grind them into flour earlier, if we keep it like this, I'm afraid that it will be bad again and can only be fed to chickens!" After lunch, he wiped his mouth casually, and Li Qinglin looked at Jiang Cheng'er.
The dishes and chopsticks on the table were also in Li Qinglin's hands, Jiang Cheng'er nodded thoughtfully, and he hoped that he could grind them into flour earlier.
"Let's go and grind them all into flour this afternoon, the asking price may be a little higher than usual these days, everyone thinks like you." Jiang Cheng'er glanced at Li Qinglin and spoke thoughtfully.
Sure enough, when they went to ask in the afternoon, they heard the owner of the mill say categorically: "A bag of flour for ten cents!" ”
The fat aunt was now carrying a few bags of wheat of her own, and the asking price of 10 yuan also made him silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "Then what should I do with the rest of the things?" ”
After grinding the wheat, there will definitely be some more things, which are not of high value, but it is good to give chickens, ducks and pigs to eat, at least you can save two or three cents.
The mill owner waved his hand: "Then you are adding five pennies, and all the things that will be ground will be yours at that time." ”
In such a way to make a fortune, the angry fat aunt trembled: "Even if I go to the town to buy a bag of food for the pigs, I don't necessarily need so much money!" ”
"Anyway, it's only this one, you love to grind or not, if you don't grind, please leave, we are small here, we can't accommodate your fat ......" The mill owner waved his hand casually, but there was no fear in his tone, and now the only one that can grind flour is their stone mill and the disobedient stupid donkey.
Others will never find such complete equipment again, the fat aunt gritted her teeth and nodded after all, he has worked so hard to bring these bags of wheat today, if you don't grind, it's really not worth it.
Jiang Cheng'er and Li Qinglin each walked in with a bag of wheat, and their little faces were red: "Uncle Liu, you can help us grind these two bags, and the last remaining things are also kept for us, our family has just raised chickens......"
Scratching her head as she spoke, Jiang Cheng'er was a little embarrassed, the price of fifteen yuan was actually a bit high in Jiang Cheng'er's opinion.
glanced at Jiang Cheng'er, but Uncle Liu didn't speak, but first took Jiang Cheng'er and their two bags of wheat into the backyard, or it didn't take long for the flour that had been ground to be white and delicate and sent out.
wiped his hands and took out thirty yuan, Jiang Cheng'er was still very distressed, Uncle Liu only glanced at Jiang Cheng'er, and randomly picked twenty copper plates in it: "It's not easy for you little girl to lead your brother's life, Uncle Liu also watched you grow up after all, how can I ask you for so much money." ”
The white, tender and delicate flour was handed over to Li Qinglin, and it was sent over together, as well as the things left after grinding, which people can actually eat, and Li Qinglin and Jiang Cheng'er ate this kind of thing the most when they were in the Li family.
"Thank you." Jiang Cheng'er smiled and said, this matter is about your love and my willingness, but to put it bluntly, people are so big, they have to think about what to pay back, they haven't been fishing for several days, thinking about these things, Jiang Cheng'er immediately thought about it, if she can catch a fish tomorrow, then send one to Uncle Liu.
The fat aunt watched from the side for a long time, she obviously came earlier than Jiang Cheng'er and the others, and she didn't get the flour from her own wheat, but now it is obvious that she has given Jiang Cheng'er a lot of money: "What are you doing?" Why does this little girl have anything to do with you, and deserve you to treat her like this? ”
Uncle Liu sneered, and looked at the fat aunt with a smile: "Don't you know how difficult it is for these two children to live?" If you don't help, forget it, you always stand at the entrance of the village to spread rumors, since you have money, it's better for you to grind it yourself! ”
After all, Uncle Liu is a man with five big and three thick, and the words that come out of his mouth now are also extremely ruthless, fat aunt, although there is still some meaning, but after all, she obediently closed her mouth, rolled her eyes, stared at Jiang Cheng'er Jiang Cheng'er didn't have the heart to take care of him anymore, carried the flour and the rest of the things, and turned around and planned to go back.
"Brother Han!" Seeing the handsome and upright figure from a distance, Li Qinglin waved his hand, and called Han Baichuan very excitedly.
Han Baichuan walked over with a pace, and when he saw what Jiang Cheng'er was holding, he couldn't help but take it and put it on his shoulder: "You are a girl, such a heavy thing, it will still be less in the future, I told you before how many layers of work you encountered this kind of hard work, just come to me." ”
The temperature when the fingertips touched it just now seemed to be still there, Jiang Cheng'er's face was flushed with shame, and she was burning with fire, but she secretly scolded herself for her incompetence in her heart, it was not that she had never been in contact with people like this, and she didn't see anyone like Han Baichuan who always made her blush.
Li Qinglin looked at Jiang Cheng'er's blushing face from the side, looked at him with squeezing his eyebrows, and even stretched out his hand to pull Jiang Cheng'er, pointing to Han Baichuan, who was walking at the forefront and stopped from time to time to wait for them, and blinked, very ambiguous.
Jiang Cheng'er unceremoniously knocked on this younger brother who I was thinking of marrying off: "Let's hurry up and get things home!" ”
As soon as she walked to the door, Jiang Cheng'er found that there were a lot of things at the door, what radish and cabbage, and even a few small bags of flour, which I don't know who sent it, but it made Jiang Cheng'er cry and laugh a little, and even saw the bud valley, and could smell a little bit of the taste, obviously to feed himself to the chickens.
Li Qinglin didn't expect it, but he just went out for a short while, and when he came back, he could see so many things, the price of flour was very expensive, and it could even be compared to pork.
Carrying everything in, Han Baichuan was still silent, Jiang Cheng'er hurriedly poured a cup of bamboo leaf tea for the two of them, looked at Han Baichuan's appearance, and laughed dryly: "I think drinking it like this is also quite thirst-quenching, if you don't believe it, you can taste it?" ”
Han Baichuan was silent, shook his head, opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but after all, he still didn't speak, and drank the cup of tea in one gulp, Han Baichuan got up and planned to leave, but fortunately, Li Qinglin noticed a little different.
"Brother Han, do you have anything to say?" Li Qinglin wiped his hands and immediately asked, but there was a little worry in his expression, he felt that this matter seemed to be a little difficult when he saw Han Baichuan today.
As he spoke, he took the teapot he had in hand and poured another cup of tea for Han Baichuan: "Anyway, you usually don't have anything important to deal with, so it's better to sit here for a while, you and your sister haven't seen each other for a long time, and there should be a lot of things to say......"
was talking, suddenly paused, but gasped, looking at his pale face, Han Baichuan was also a little concerned: "What's wrong?" ”
Jiang Cheng'er withdrew her hand without changing her face, listening to what this guy said, Jiang Cheng'er knew what Li Qinglin wanted to do, it was nothing more than selling her sister for glory, and she didn't know how much she had received from a man at the beginning, but now she was so willing to speak for Han Baichuan.
"What the hell are you here today? Just say it directly, is it possible that you still want to see me? Although he had been indifferent, Jiang Cheng'er couldn't help but ask, Han Baichuan's performance today was really abnormal.
Now that the autumn harvest has passed, Han Baichuan often went into the mountains to hunt a few days ago, combined with what happened recently, a not very good conjecture slowly appeared in Jiang Cheng'er's heart......
Now this time is the time of the township test, if Han Baichuan wants to go, it is very normal, which man does not want to see the achievements and fame.
"Do you know what I'm going to do?" Seeing that Jiang Cheng'er seemed to have a little understanding, after hesitating for a moment, Han Baichuan finally spoke.
