Bai Yingying also rushed over and glared at the thief lying on the ground: "It's him, quickly tie him up to the county government for me, and see if he dares to steal again in the future." ”

As soon as the thief heard this, the soft one didn't work, and the hard one came, he lifted his knee and kicked Du Liang in the abdomen, Du Liang was startled and hurriedly dodged, and the thief took the opportunity to roll behind Du Liang and took out a dagger to make a preemptive strike.

Where had Bai Yingying seen such a gangster, and she immediately screamed in fright: "Be careful behind you!" ”

Du Liang felt the air behind him, and subconsciously dodged sideways, the thief pounced, and a backflip attacked again, and the dagger in his hand slashed at Du Liang.

Since Du Liang was kidnapped, he has had a sense of self-defense, and although he has not been instructed to practice since then, he has also read a lot of martial arts books from Xue Yan, and every time he can only slash with a dagger, he hears the sound of his clothes tearing.

Sting! Sting!

The thrill in front of her frightened Bai Yingying's eyes widened, the maid was already stunned on the spot, and Du Liang could only dodge.

The thief just wanted to get out, not to put someone to death, seeing that Du Liang couldn't parry himself, he found a gap and ran to the side.

Seeing this, Du Liang was in a hurry, lifted the wooden box on the carriage and smashed it into the back of the thief, and the thief fell to the ground with a cry of pain.

Du Liang didn't give him a chance to fight back, and stepped forward to punch and kick the thief, "Call you to do evil, tell you to steal other people's things, see if I don't beat you to death, beat you to death!" ”

Du Liang's strength was not small, the thief grinned in pain, and begged again and again: "Oh, stop it, please stop it, if you fight again, you will die." ”

Du Liang stopped his hand stupidly, took out Bai Yingying's money bag from the thief, and handed it to Bai Yingying.

At this moment, the security patrol rushed over and said to Bai Yingying: "Miss, are you okay?" ”

Bai Yingying winked at the patrol, "Oh, the little girl is fine, fortunately, this son came to the rescue, you can quickly arrest the thief." ”

The patrol will know how to arrest the thief on the spot.

Du Liang breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the wooden box rolling down not far away, and hurriedly stepped forward to check, the reunion cake inside had broken a box, all turned into slag, and the filling inside was scattered.

Du Liang squatted on the ground with a regretful face, this was the first time his sister asked him to deliver alone, but he messed up, how much money did he have to lose in this box of reunion cakes.

"Alas!"

Bai Yingying stood aside, looking up and down at Du Liang, who was righteous and brave, "Hey, I'll compensate you for this silver." ”

As he spoke, he handed over the money bag in his hand, Du Liang turned his head and glanced at the splendid money bag, and sighed: "Forget it, I think I'm unlucky." ”

Looking at his aggrieved pitiful look, Bai Yingying sneered and laughed.

"Girl, I helped you, why are you still laughing at me?" Du Liang wrinkled his eyebrows puzzled.

Bai Yingying covered her lips and chuckled: "I'm sorry Childe, I'm not laughing at you, but I think you're so cute, how old are you this year?" ”

It was the first time that Du Liang was asked about his age by the girl's family, and he immediately blushed embarrassedly, "I...... I'm no bigger than you. ”

Bai Yingying disagreed, and looked at him carefully, "Look at your young age, you have learned to lie, it seems that I am older than you." ”

The maid wrinkled her eyebrows on the side, why is the young lady arguing with strangers about who is bigger and who is smaller?

"It's me who's older than you." Du Liang was not convinced.

"I'm big." Bai Yingying's apricot eyes flashed with a smile that did not admit defeat.

Du Liang looked at her smiling face and lost his mind for a moment, but quickly came back to his senses, "This young lady, there are still important things to do, so don't leave it at that." ”

"Hey, why do you say just go, I haven't thanked you yet, and your pastries are ruined like this, your master's family should blame you. Why don't I explain it to you? For some reason, Bai Yingying couldn't bear to see this young man being punished. According to her identity, there is no one who does not give her a little thin face.

Du Liang smiled lightly, "Don't bother, it's my own pastries, at most a few words of training, it's not too early, I still have to send it to Shilixiang, since these broken ones can't be sold, just leave them to Miss to try it, I keep you never eaten it." ”

As he spoke, Du Liang had a confident smile on his face.

Bai Yingying was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but strike: "How do you know that Miss Ben hasn't eaten it, and there are no pastries in Luo'an City that Miss Ben hasn't tasted." ”

He didn't even know his identity, and he still boasted about Haikou in front of him. She had to play tricks on him once.

"Miss, don't believe what I said, although this box of reunion cakes is broken, but the taste is still there, these are left for you to taste and you know, if you like to eat, you can go to Shilixiang to buy it in the future."

Looking at Du Liang's simple and persistent appearance, Bai Yingying couldn't help but smile again, "Okay, I'll taste it first, then I won't delay your delivery, you can go quickly." ”

"Oh, then we'll see you again." He was in a hurry to deliver the goods just now, but now from the mouth of this young lady urging him to leave, he was a little reluctant.

"What? Aren't you in a hurry to deliver your goods? Bai Yingying raised her eyebrows in confusion.

"Oh. Urgent. Du Liang's embarrassed face turned red again, and he hurriedly jumped into the carriage and drove away.

Drive!

Bai Yingying stared blankly at Du Liang's back galloping away, and her heart was unspeakably happy, this stupid boy......

"Miss, this box of pastries ......"

Bai Yingying came back to her senses and ordered: "Take it back to the house and taste it, I want to see if this kid is talking big or the truth." ”

"Huh?" Looking at the wooden box as high as her calf, the maid looked embarrassed. With so many reunion cakes, how heavy it is to move back.

"What? Can't you do this little work? Our house is not far from here. If it's delicious, Miss Ben will reward you with more. Bai Yingying said generously.

The maid pursed her lips behind her back, picked up the wooden box and muttered, "With his stupidity, this pastry won't taste good." ”

When Bai Yingying heard it, she turned around sharply and looked at her unhappily: "What did you say?" Silly? People are brave and fearless at a young age, dare to fight gangsters, and if there is no sense of justice, who will care about our birds. ”

"Miss......" The maid was speechless, and what she said was true.

"The situation just now is really dangerous, every knife of the gangster almost cuts through his body, oh, his clothes!" Bai Yingying suddenly remembered that when Du Liang left, his clothes had become ragged.

The maid snorted and laughed, "Miss, when have you ever cared so much about a man's clothes?" Aren't you tempted again? ”

"Looking for a fight, one Xu Hening is enough for my head." Bai Yingying raised her hand to fight, but a touch of melancholy rose in her heart, she took the initiative to confess to Xu Hening and was rejected, and her injured self-esteem may not be able to withstand any blow anymore.

"That's right, this stupid boy is far worse than Mr. Xu." There was a touch of contempt in the maid's eyes.

In Bai Yingying's heart, she didn't deliberately compare Du Liang with Xu Hening, she just felt that the encounter with Du Liang made her more vivid and interesting like a dead heart burning again.

In the evening, Du Liang returned home, and Zhao's and Du Lan saw that Du Liang was in a mess, and his clothes were torn several times, and they were immediately frightened and panicked.

Du Liang hurriedly explained to his family the little accident that happened on the road, and Du Lan relieved him that he didn't have to take it to heart, but he had to know how to protect himself in the future. Du Liang handed over the account to Du Lan, and then reported the amount of Shili Xiang's reservation, Du Lan didn't expect Shili Xiang to ask for a thousand reunion cakes, and was immediately dumbfounded.

So much, how can she do it, one pot can bake fifty, it needs to bake twenty ovens, and the most important thing is that even if she adds herself, Zhao's, Du Auntie, Du Mi, and Zhang Auntie, they can't make a thousand reunion cakes a day.

"Sister...... Is it too large to do? At that time, when the shopkeeper of Shilixiang ordered, Du Liang had this concern.

But the shopkeeper said that many customers have tasted reunion cakes a few days ago, and they have booked them in advance, first, this kind of reunion cake tastes unique and delicious, and secondly, it saves time to make it yourself.

Duran looked down and pondered for a moment, if she wanted to make so many reunion cakes in one day, she would have to recruit some temporary workers from the village.

Yesterday, many villagers were bribed and bribed by Xu Cui'e, Xu Cui'e must have bought a lot of people's hearts, but people die for money, birds die for food, Du Lan believes that even if the people in the village don't look down on themselves, no one can't get along with money.

"Liangzi, you go back to the uncle and ask him to inform the villagers tomorrow morning to see if there are any women who want to earn pocket money."

Du Liang nodded and went home with the Zhao family.

When night fell, Duran was so busy these days that he lay on the bed and roughly calculated the accounts of selling reunion cakes, there are only a few days left before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and reunion cakes can only be sold for these few days, and after the festival, I am afraid that few people will care.

If she wants to make a quick buck, she has to get the timing right.

After closing his eyes and falling asleep, the sky was bright, and after Duran got up, he hurriedly ate breakfast with Old Man Gu and waited for the women to come to the door.

After all, it is the charm of money, and the grass on the wall who went to Xu Cui'e's house to eat and drink yesterday heard that Duran's family could earn pocket money, and they came to line up early in the morning to sign up.

Because everyone knows that the number of manual workers here in Duran is limited, and it is natural that you can't choose one who registers late.

Du Lan chose a few of the women from this group of women who looked shrewd and capable, "Fat sister-in-law, Aunt Ma, Third Sister Wang......"

A total of five people were selected, plus their own family, seven or eight people were enough.

Duran divided the people into two groups, one was responsible for filling and the other was responsible for pressing the mold. The group of stuffing was handed over to Aunt Zhang to be responsible for teaching, and the simple grinding tool was handed over to Aunt Du to command.

Zhao's and Du Mi ran some chores, such as taking out the oven to cool and packing it after it was cooked, Du Er and Du Liang needed to take turns watching the stove, otherwise they would not stop guarding the stove for a moment, afraid that people would not be able to stand the heat.

Even Mrs. Du refused to be idle, and helped everyone boil water to drink with Old Man Gu.

For a while, Duran's yard was busy again.

Fat aunt, don't look at people fat, but she is a good hand at work, and after a while, there was already a row of stuffing dumplings on the sticky board next to her. And Aunt Ma was not to be outdone, the latecomers came first, and the table was full of three and five divided by two.

Duran said that making reunion cakes is a piecework wage, and the more you pack, the more you earn.

As the saying goes, three women in one play, and Wang Sanjie's group is responsible for putting the stuffing dumplings into the mold and carving them into flower-shaped cakes.

Their work here is easy, directly press the dumplings into the mold, and knock them on the table to finish, so the people here begin to dislike the slow work of the people who make the stuffing dumplings, everyone is scrambling to do it, no one is willing to be idle, once they are idle, they will be impatient.

Just as everyone was about to start their work, there was the sound of horses' hooves outside the door.

Drive...... A horse-drawn carriage stopped outside the doorway.
