If Du Jinning's current identity was a young woman, or she had money and status, she would think more, thinking that Liang Xiankuan was thinking something.

But now she is a poor boy in the countryside, with nothing, Liang Xiankuan can release kindness to her, either simply appreciating her, or trying to win her over because he admires her. Either way, she wasn't disgusted.

She also smiled and raised her hand to return the salute: "Du Jinning, fortunately." ”

Seeing that the two cherished each other and saluted each other, Guan Jiaze was not happy on the side, and shouted: "Liang Xiankuan, don't fight Du Jinning's idea, he is in the same group as me." ”

Hearing this, Du Jinning couldn't help laughing.

She felt like she was back in elementary school — he was with him, I was with you, and we weren't playing with him.

"Childish!" Liang Xiankuan spoke her mind.

Guan Jiaze was so angry that he glared at Liang Xiankuan, looking like he was going to beat someone.

"Okay, okay, the competition is over, let's go out to eat, my stomach is hungry." Du Jinning hurriedly pulled Guan Jiaze, greeted Qi Muyuan again, turned around and walked outside.

Qi Muyuan immediately followed.

"Humph!" Guan Jiaze snorted coldly at Liang Xiankuan, and hurriedly pulled out his legs to keep up with Du Jinning.

Watching the group walk out of the house, talking and laughing, Liang Xiankuan laughed and said, "This kid is not simple. ”

Wu Fan looked outside suspiciously and asked, "Why isn't it simple?" ”

"There is a poor boy in the countryside, and he is young, but Guan Jiaze obeys him, and even Qi Muyuan, who is cold and ignores anyone, listens to him." Liang Xian Kuandao.

Wu Fan nodded thoughtfully.

"Let's go, let's go to dinner too."

……

Du Jinning didn't mean to eat, so he planned to leave when he left the house: "You guys go to eat, I'm going home." Our family has moved to Zhuangzi in the back. Tomorrow's academy will be closed, my family will have a treat at noon, I have already sent a post to the mountain chief and Grandpa Qi, Mr. Yuan, and Mr. Huang, and you will come over together at that time. ”

"Great, it's convenient for us to find you now. Otherwise, you have to bring a letter to Zhang Hongwen, and you will delay your efforts back and forth. Guan Jiaze said happily.

Qi Muyuan nodded.

"Then I'm leaving." Du Jinning didn't talk nonsense, turned around and left.

"Hey, wait." Guan Jiaze came up and grabbed her, "You helped me today, I have to show it." Let's go, I'll invite you to dinner. ”

Du Jinning was a straightforward character, and he was not polite, nodding and saying, "Okay." ”

They didn't go far. Guan Jiaze and their lunch break was only half an hour, and they had been delayed for a long time just now, and the three of them went directly to the academy's dining room.

In ancient times, it was not the same to eat only two meals, and many wealthy people ate three meals. The students of the academy are all of a long age, they come from home early in the morning, go back when it gets dark, stay in the academy for a long time, and if they only eat two meals in the morning and evening, many people can't stand it.

But the summer is hot, and the food is not put away; It's too cold in winter, and the food I bring is cold and I can't eat it. The students in the academy are all children of wealthy families, and they are not the kind who can't even afford to eat, so the academy opened a dining hall and invited two cooks to cook for the students who needed to eat.

By the time the three of them arrived at the dining house, the good food was almost gone. Time is tight, even if Guan Jiaze is not short of silver, it is not good to tell the cook not to cook well, so he has to make three meals, and said: "Next time, next time I will invite you to Zuixian Building, let's have a good meal." ”

"Don't break the bank." Du Jinning waved his hand and said, "This is fine." ”

"Hey, don't be polite to me, the Drunken Immortal Building is our Guan family's property, and I can still afford to have a meal there." Guan Jiaze said proudly.

"Oh?" Du Jinning's eyes lit up, and he had a plan in his heart. But she didn't mention it, and after eating with the two, she took her leave.

Instead of going home, she went to the market to see what was on sale. If she wants to treat her tomorrow, she has to check the food, lest the Chen family be reluctant to give up the money and rectify it too shabby. Although their family has no money, since they want to have a treat, they have to be sincere.

The busiest time of the market is in the morning, when many people from the nearby countryside come to sell vegetables, and by noon they are almost the same. Only those hunters who live in the mountains will come late, and this is the most suitable time to buy prey. But prey is not something that can be encountered every day, it depends on luck.

Fortunately, Du Jinning was lucky, and after walking around the market, he saw a middle-aged man in his forties carrying pheasants and hares on his back, looking around for a place to sell things.

Du Jinning didn't know about prices, and he didn't have anywhere to inquire at this time. But she can make money, and she doesn't care if it's expensive or cheap, I heard the man say that three pheasants and two rabbits cost a total of ninety-eight yuan, and she didn't make a counteroffer, so she bought it directly.

When she came out of the market with wild meat, she met someone who brought a goat to sell, and she bought two goats, one male and one female, and spent one or two or five dollars of silver. After thinking about it, she bought some more tea.

Back at home, Chen saw the things she had bought and blamed, "Why did you buy so much?" How much does it cost? ”

"Sheep are bought and raised. I see that there is grass on the mountain behind me, and if I cut some grass every day, I can grow it. When a lamb is born, it can be sold for money when it is raised; And goat milk is the most nourishing, our family's body is in a panic, and we need to make up for it. Du Jinning said.

She is not Chen, she only knows how to farm dead. You can't make a fortune in farming, you have to start from other aspects. Breeding and planting cash crops are all ways for peasants to make a fortune. Now that the family is separated, they can show their talents.

In the end, Chen also knows how to read and read, and has some knowledge. Hearing Du Jinning say this, she also agreed: "You really have to raise some livestock." "Du Jinning has been in a panic since he was a child, he grew up eating corn paste, and at the age of ten, he is almost like an eight-year-old child. In the future, it will take a lot of effort to study, and it does need to be supplemented.

Du Fanghui used to be in charge of breeding in the Du family, and she was very happy to see the two sheep, so she took a bamboo basket and pulled Du Fangling up the mountain to cut the grass.

Chen and Du Fangfei went to clean up pheasants and rabbits.

"Mother, one pheasant stewed with wild mushrooms, and the other two braised in braised soup; The rabbit will come back tomorrow by cutting some fat and braising it together. Du Jinning instructed, thinking about it, he went to the kitchen to check the seasoning again. There are also spices and soy sauce for making dried tofu, and tomorrow I will ask Chen to buy some sugar and acid, and the seasoning at home will be complete.

Chen also knew that his family could live such a life, thanks to the help of Guan Lehe and others, and Du Jinning would have to study in the academy in the future, and he would also need the care of those people. Therefore, although he felt sorry for the money, he also knew the severity, and on the second day, according to Du Jinning's instructions, he bought a few catties of pork and mutton, and bought two ducks back, and cooked them according to the method Du Jinning said.

Her cooking skills are already good, and under Du Jinning's guidance, the three tables of dishes make her colorful, flavorful, and delicious.

Tables and chairs were not enough for Du's house, so Du Jinning went to Dong Dacheng's house and another neighbor's house to borrow some. Dong Dacheng's family didn't talk about it, and another neighbor saw that the Du family directly sent a bowl of cooked meat and vegetables, so he was naturally very happy to borrow tables and chairs.

At the beginning of the afternoon in the morning, Du Jinning was directing Chen and Du Fangfei to cook in the kitchen, when he heard a shout from outside the hospital: "Du Jinning." But it was Guan Jiaze's voice.

She hurriedly greeted her, and saw Guan Lehe, Yuan Xiuzhu, Qi Bokun, and Huang Chengming leading Qi Muyuan and Guan Jiaze together. She hurriedly stepped forward to salute and let a group of people into the house. Du Fanghui had already brewed tea under Chen's instructions and came out to entertain guests.

Chen took advantage of Du Jinning's efforts and asked, "Why haven't Li Zheng and your uncle and grandfather come yet?" The dish is ready. ”

Du Jinning was also puzzled.

Du Yinsheng didn't say it, Zhang Guangyi thought she could see through it. He is a person who has a good heart but also loses his scheming, and has an ambition to climb up. Today, knowing that in addition to inviting them, she will also invite Guan Lehe and other mountain chiefs and gentlemen of the academy, Zhang Guangyi should have come here early to avoid being rude. Why hasn't it come yet?

She was about to ask Chen to wait a while, when she saw a seven or eight-year-old boy rushing in from outside the door, and shouted, "Du Jinning, you have a visitor." But it was Dong Dacheng's youngest son, Dong Wenqing, who had seen it when he borrowed something in the morning.

"It should be Lizheng and they are here." Du Jinning hurriedly greeted him.

When I walked to the gate of the courtyard, I saw Zhang Guangyi with Zhang Hongwen, and Du Yinsheng led Du Yunchang to stand at the door. And behind them there were two people standing, one was Du Chensheng and the other was Du Yunnian.
