Chapter 44: Borrowing Flour
Back at home, after Gu Yuanlan washed the acacia flowers and blanched them in the pot for a while, Li Chirp realized a very serious matter.
At home, there seems to be no flour.
Not seemingly, yes.
Although there is usually meat and fish at home, those are not bought, as long as it involves money, there are no things that should be in the house.
Even if the family has little money, they have to buy flour from the town, but they are afraid that it will be dark.
This is bitter Li Chirp, I originally wanted to make acacia cake, but now I can only boil acacia flowers.
"Lan'er, I'll borrow flour." Li chirped and gritted her teeth, she asked one by one, are you still afraid that you won't be able to borrow it?
"Sister-in-law, between neighbors...... When my brother didn't get married, the big and small families in this Shanlian village always liked to take advantage of our family, but when it was time to ask them for help, they ran faster than rabbits, for fear of falling in love with him! ”
"Oh my god, no one would lend me flour, even if there was flour!" Li Chirp gritted his teeth, "There are not many hunters in Shanlian Village, there should be many people who can't eat a meal of game for many years!" ”
"Yes, sister-in-law, what do you mean ......"
"Let's exchange the hares, didn't your brother catch two hares yesterday? Let's trade a hare. ”
"That's too much!"
"Lan'er, think about it, if there is no flour, how can you send pastries to Ji Jiwen, how can you understand his family situation, how to have an intimate contact with him, how to marry him?"
“……”
"If you can't live without a rabbit, this is no longer a matter of a hare, but a matter of your lifelong happiness."
“……”
"Even if your brother knew, he wouldn't blame me! Believe me! Li chirped Gu Yuanlan's shoulder earnestly, took down a hare hanging on the beam, and rushed out of the house.
"Lan'er, although I don't want you to make pastries for Ji Jiwen to eat, but everything the boss said is the truth!" The little god pig sitting at the stove and putting firewood suddenly raised his head, nodded towards Gu Yuanlan, lowered the pig's head and continued to put firewood.
Li Chirp didn't want to be too ostentatious, so he tied up the hare with a bundle of straw handles and put it behind him.
I knocked on the door next door, but no one answered.
Li Chirped and walked forward again, knocked on the door, and a very obese middle-aged woman opened the door.
"Yo, isn't this Saburo's daughter-in-law? How do you have time to come to me? ”
Hearing the woman's sharp voice, Li Chirp frowned, but still said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, I want to ask your family to borrow flour, do you have flour at home?" ”
"No, the dead man in my family, yesterday said that he wanted to eat leek cakes, so I made a pot with him, and it was all used up."
"So, is there really nothing at all?"
"San Lang's daughter-in-law? If you say this little thing, will I still lie to you? ”
"Well, that's not what I meant, I'm sorry for you." Li Chirped and turned to leave, but his hand slipped, and the rabbit fell to the ground all of a sudden.
"San Lang's daughter-in-law, what's that?" The woman was about to close the door when she suddenly wanted to discover a new continent and shouted.
"Uh, nothing!" Li chirped and wiped his sweat, quickly picked up the rabbit, and ran away quickly.
No, no, she can't be cheap for those stingy people! Li chirped the hare in his hand and slowed down.
There is, go to the second brother's house! Thinking of this, Li Chirp immediately sped up.
