Chapter 79: The wolf grabs meat from his mouth

After Xia Qiqi shouted Lu Jiu, he immediately regretted it.

She was all working on the side, and Lu Jiu was watching from the side, what would he do if he didn't know what to do?

It turns out that Xia Qiqi is overthinking.

Lu Jiu bent down and picked up the sweet potatoes in the box next to him, and put them in the iron pot, no more, no less, exactly eighteen sweet potatoes.

After putting it out, he looked at Xia Qiqi with a smug face.

Just when Xia Qiqi thought that this was over, he lifted the box containing the sweet potatoes, hugged it tightly in his arms, and stared at the sweet potatoes in the box with his eyes.

It's a pity that the face towel covered most of Lu Jiu's face at this moment, otherwise Xia Qiqi would definitely see that he was about to drool.

Xia Qiqi smiled helplessly and shook his head, "You are much smarter than I imagined, the remaining sweet potatoes in this box are exactly the amount of your meal on weekdays!" ”

When Lu Jiu heard Xia Qiqi's praise, the smug expression on his face became more and more obvious.

"But no! All these sweet potatoes must be sold in order to get silver, and with silver, we can buy grain.

All the food in the house has been eaten by you, and if you continue to eat like this...... I think you're going to have to hunt in the mountains! ”

Lu Jiu: "......"

Xia Qiqi was not sure, Lu Jiu must understand what he said.

But if Lu Jiu is allowed to eat like this, there will not be enough gold and silver mountains to eat.

Did she really take her family with her to beg?

If that's the case, why is she out to work?

Xia Qiqi even secretly thought, if Lu Jiu eats so much more, she will simply sweep him out of the house!

Anyway, even if he leaves the fourth room, he won't starve to death!

On the contrary, it is the fourth room, if he eats it like this again, the whole family will starve to death!

"Ah Jiu......" Xia Qiqi spoke to Lu Jiu like this for the first time.

She thought Lu Jiu would be angry.

Unexpectedly, Lu Jiu actually put down the sweet potato box.

Snatching meat from a wolf's mouth is not an easy task.

Fortunately, Xia Qiqi did it!

Xia Qiqi's face once again had a smile.

……

The second pot of sweet potatoes was baked, and another wave of guests came.

Xia Qiqi stepped forward to sell as usual.

Small roasted sweet potatoes for one penny, and large roasted sweet potatoes for two pennies are also in demand.

In addition, the weather is cold, and holding a sweet potato can warm your hands.

Gradually, the long queues were formed.

Xia Qiqi's pot of sweet potatoes sold most of them.

In the afternoon, there was no one setting up a stall on the dock, so Xia Qiqi decided to close the stall.

She scooped up all the remaining three sweet potatoes in the pot and handed the largest one to Lu Jiu.

Lu Jiu didn't take the sweet potato at all, he turned his head to the side, and refused to give Xia Qiqi a look.

Heh, this is angry?

Sample, she still likes to rectify this kind of refusal to admit defeat!

"Don't eat it, if you don't eat, I can eat more!" Xia Qiqi licked his lips as he spoke.

Then, she sniffed the sweet potato in her hand vigorously, "It's so fragrant, it's a pity, I can taste this taste myself!" ”

Xia Qiqi deliberately said this, and after speaking, she secretly went to look at Lu Jiu.

He still didn't look too far away and looked like he didn't want to pay attention to himself.

Xia Qiqi wanted to tease him more and more!

"Sister Cui Niang is so good to me, this roasted sweet potato is the best for her!"

As soon as she finished speaking, before she could react, the big sweet potato in her hand disappeared in an instant.

in Lu Jiu's hands.

As if provoking her, Lu Jiusan ate a sweet potato in two bites, even the skin and meat, and even the sweet potato in the middle was hot, which did not stop him from eating quickly.

“……”

"You're not hot, you!" Xia Qiqi couldn't help but feel sorry for Lu Jiu again.

She didn't know why she had lost her judgment, knowing that this kid didn't understand the rules of people at all.

When he was hungry, he must have wanted to fill his stomach.

He's about the same as a human child.

When a child is hungry, isn't all he can do is eat?

"Hey, forget it, I won't talk about you!" Xia Qiqi handed Lu Jiu another sweet potato.

This time, she personally helped Lu Jiu break the sweet potatoes and let them cool before she dared to let go.

While Lu Jiu was eating sweet potatoes, she said, "Ah Jiu, I really don't mean anything else!" It's just that soon, it's going to snow, and it's not easy to get to town as soon as it snows.

If you don't store enough food, you won't be able to survive the winter, I remember that in your cave, you also tied some small animals with straw ropes, but you are afraid of snow in winter, there is no prey outside, and you are hungry?

I can understand what you do, and you should understand what I do, right? ”

After speaking, Xia Qiqi grinned at Lu Jiu and smiled.

Of course, Lu Jiu understood what Xia Qiqi meant.

He's the smartest, how can he not understand such a trivial matter?

But the majesty it should have must not be lost!

He can't show weakness in front of the little prey.

"Qiqi......" Lu Jiu opened his mouth and shouted Xia Qiqi's name.

"Huh?"

"Seventy-Seven ......"

“……”

Xia Qiqi was still a little happy that Lu Jiu could speak.

But it's not a way to call her name all the time.

"Ah Jiu, let's put the things back and buy some food back."

Lu Jiu was full of energy, and Xia Qiqi only needed to command beside him.

Taking advantage of Lu Jiu's time to move things, she began to eat the last roasted sweet potato.

She was hungry for a long time, but unlike Lu Jiu, she had to endure it, and when no one was doing business, she could fill her stomach.

Otherwise, it will delay the transaction.

Even if it's just a penny deal, for Xia Qiqi, it can't be missed.

After eating a sweet potato, Xia Qiqi had the strength to continue shopping with Lu Jiu.

However, for the tables and chairs placed in the utility room, Xia Qiqi still pried some necessary things and went back to do the missing parts according to the size.

So, before she bought food, she had a lot of things to bring.

This time, she sold sweet potatoes and earned forty yuan.

It looks like a lot, and it can be exchanged for grain, but it is only eight catties of brown rice.

Eight catties of brown rice is not enough for the whole family to eat for eight days.

Now that he counts one Lu Jiu, it is a miracle that he can eat for three days.

So Xia Qiqi allocated 100 yuan from the capital of two taels of silver to buy 28 catties of brown rice.

I bought some more flour, and then sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes for two pennies a catty, and she bought another fifty catties.

These things are all carried by Lu Jiu.

In addition to being able to eat, Lu Jiu still has many advantages, at least, this strength, one person, at least four men.

It's a pity that there is no coolie job to do recently, otherwise, she will definitely let Lu Jiu sell coolies, and it is best to take care of the food.

Thinking about it like this, Xia Qiqi's steps to go home are getting faster and faster!

At dusk, Lu Jiu and Xia Qiqi returned to Dayu Village.

"Yo, seven girls, why are you still here, your old Xia family, but you have made a fortune!"
