The mountain village under the night sky has gradually fallen silent, and only the sound of frogs can be heard. Sent away Zhou Lizheng and Hu Langzhong's family, Hua Qingyan and Bi'er cleaned up and went back to the house, today is also a tiring day, although the seaside received a lot of goods, but in the end it is all manual work.

Before going to bed, Bi'er was still a little puzzled, why did her sister let her not tell her about the cave and the sea?

But since my sister said it was a secret, let's keep it a secret, and the thought of the coast, where there are so many good things, now belongs to them alone, Bi'er's heart is happy, and my sister said, many of them can be made into delicious food!

Hua Qingyan's room was still lit up, perhaps because the chestnuts had eaten too much, and the spirit of the two little guys was terrible, and they didn't feel sleepy at all at this hour. Hua Qingyan let the children play in bed, and found a piece of paper at the table to write down the things to do in the town tomorrow.

This month's new recipe Jin Nanshu has been taken away, so chestnut stewed chicken can be used as a new dish next month. However, she needed to go to the shopkeeper Qi in advance to talk about the chestnuts and ask him if he could find some men with kung fu skills to pick chestnuts. After all, this chestnut grows deep in the mountains, and she doesn't dare to let the villagers take risks, although the big tiger is dead, maybe there will be a second one!

Speaking of this tiger, a complete tiger skin is worth a lot of silver! However, Hua Qingyan didn't want to sell it, seeing that it was about to enter winter, although the climate in this mountain village was quite warm, but after all, it was near the sea, and it was inevitable that there would be wind and waves, so it was still very necessary to keep out the cold, she didn't care, but she definitely couldn't freeze the two children. Isn't this tiger skin a good thing, it can be made into a blanket, and it can also be used to make a jacket and cloak for children. However, there is still flesh and blood on the freshly peeled tiger skin, Hua Qingyan has no problem with these, fortunately, Zhou Rong said that he has a way, out of trust in this big man, Hua Qingyan relieved Zhou Rong to tann the tiger skin.

Tomorrow, in addition to buying rice grains, I will also see if there are any other seasonings, and more importantly, if there are any raw materials for pastries. Hua Qingyan also wanted to get some milk or goat's milk back to supplement calcium for the two children, but Hua Qingyan felt that this had to try her luck, after all, the cow is an important member of the farm, and no one wants to sell the cow if it is not old and sick, and it is even more difficult to meet the cow who is just pregnant and giving milk.

And the main thing in this trip to the town is to investigate whether the pastry business can be done! If you can, milk is also used in many pastries!

Hua Qingyan was worried about the milk, when she heard a sound of footsteps in the yard that should have been empty, Hua Qingyan stood up suddenly, and the whole person instantly tensed, she subconsciously blew out the oil lamp, slowly moved to the side of the bed, picked up the stick, and tiptoed to the door!

The stick she kept by the bed for self-defense, always thinking that one day someone would break in, and this stick would be able to resist one or two!

I didn't expect it to come in handy today!

The footsteps stopped abruptly at the door, Hua Qingyan's heart rose to her throat, she raised the wooden stick above her head, thinking that as long as someone pushed the door in, she would smash it down with a stick!

But before the man could move, there was movement in the next room, and the lights came on in a short time! Oops! Bi'er is awake! Judging from Bi'er's character, she will definitely rush here as soon as possible, regardless of it, and focus on their safety first!

"Huh." The man outside the door seemed to sense Hua Qingyan's nervousness, and actually chuckled, and then knocked politely on the door.

Hua Qingyan's eyes widened, and she felt a little strange, if she was a thief, would she be so upright and polite? Could it be that this is a thief's strategy to lure the enemy?

Hua Qingyan turned her head and looked at the big eyes of the two children who didn't know what was going on, and secretly thought, no matter what, you can't let the thieves break in, and you can't let the two children get hurt!

Just when the door of the next room was opened, Hua Qingyan heard the man say again: "Kind person, I just came here to ask for a bowl of water to drink, I have a dry mouth, you can't see death without help, right?" The man knocked on the door as he spoke, and it seemed very regular.

This man's actions are really far from those of ordinary thieves, is it really as he said, just begging for a bowl of water to drink? But why don't you knock on the courtyard door, but just climb over the wall and come in?

"Who are you?" Hua Qingyan was puzzled, and finally couldn't help asking.

"Under ......"

"Brother Zhou, why are you?" Bi'er looked at the man at Hua Qingyan's door in surprise, her eyes widened, and she was still holding a stool in her hand, which was also held high, obviously trying to smash it on the man's back. Zhou Rong's going and returning made Bi'er puzzled, she frowned and said, "Brother Zhou, it's late at night, why are you here?" is still standing at my sister's door, you must know that this man and woman can't stand it, Brother Zhou should leave quickly, don't be gossiped about! ”

Zhou Rong?

Hua Qingyan didn't understand the reason when she heard this name, this was obviously the person who shared the same skin with Zhou Rong! After confirming the identity of the person who came, the apprehension in Hua Qingyan's heart instantly turned into anger, she slammed open the door and swung it out with a stick!

"Yikes! How to beat someone! The man's skill was agile, and the stick was about to swing at him, but his slight mistake was to avoid it, and Hua Qingyan's stick didn't even touch the corner of his clothes. After the man stood still, he patted his chest with palpitations, looked at Hua Qingyan and said, "The girl's family, do you want to be gentle, otherwise how can you get married?" ”

"Don't worry about it!" Hua Qingyan glared angrily with a stick, "I'm not familiar with you, are you still reasonable to break into the girl's yard in the middle of the night?" ”

"Aren't I hungry, the smell of your yard at dinner is too hungry for me." The man looked at the dark kitchen, and then looked at Hua Qingyan with a flattering smile, "Girl, reward me with some food, I'm really hungry, for the sake of me giving you the tiger, give me a taste?" ”

"You!" Hua Qingyan was really a little powerless to face the hideous scar, looking at the face of "Zhou Rong" with such a rich expression, she was really not used to it, she felt that after tonight, she would definitely not be able to face Zhou Rong's face again!

Although she was angry, Hua Qingyan still looked at Zhou Rong and the tiger, and made some food for the man again. It's just three simple dishes, but it makes the man's emotions a little excited. Hua Qingyan accompanied her, watching that although the man was gobbling up, his movements were still elegant and decent, and she couldn't help but guess what the identity of this person was. Perhaps because no one saw it at night, the man did not change into Zhou Rong's clothes, but wore a crimson brocade robe, which was not complicated and did not have wide cuffs, which looked clean and neat. This dress is definitely not something ordinary people can afford to wear! Hua Qingyan can be sure that this person is either rich or expensive!

Bi'er was also waiting, from the conversation between Hua Qingyan and the man, she already understood that the person in front of her was just wearing Zhou Rong's face, not Zhou Rong himself. Originally, she was a little dissatisfied with the people who came to the door late at night, but now she is full of defense! She can't let her sister be bullied by this strange man of unknown origin!

After the man swept away three dishes and killed two bowls of rice, he finally stopped his chopsticks and touched his stomach and burped, "Finally full!" Girl, you're really good at what you do! ”

"Rice bucket! Ate our day's meal! Bi'er couldn't help but roll her eyes and muttered loudly.

The man waved his hand indifferently: "The little girl's family, you have to be gentle in your mouth, otherwise how can you get married!" ”

"Huh." Hua Qingyan sneered, "This, stranger." It's not your turn to worry about the life-long affairs of our sisters. Now that you've had enough to eat and drink, where does the trouble come from and where does it go back! ”

Hua Qingyan's straightforward eviction order made the man stunned, and the pair of clear and narrow fox eyes that were different from Zhou Rong were slightly enlarged, revealing a sense of disbelief.

After a while, the man asked with some hesitation: "You, do you want to drive me away?" ”

But Hua Qingyan was a little stunned when she was asked, she seemed to hear a trace of grievance from this person's tone? But even if this person protected her treasure before, helped her farm the land, and gave her a big tiger, the friendship between them was not so good that he wanted to comfort him, or even take him in! Besides, this meal can already be regarded as a thank you gift!

Thinking of this, Hua Qingyan straightened his face and said seriously: "This son, my Hua Qingyan has no friendship with you, although you have helped me a few times and sent me a tiger, but you must have seen this situation today, this tiger almost caused me a lot of trouble." In the future, please don't come to the door late at night, if you like my Hua Qingyan's craftsmanship, you can appear in the sky and day with your true face, and then Hua Qingyan will definitely not refuse Childe, and will definitely serve satisfactory dishes to Childe. ”

As soon as the man's face showed a hint of joy, he heard Hua Qingyan say: "But, it's only three things, and today is the first time for the child." ”

The man tilted his head to look at Hua Qingyan, did not speak, and his slender and white fingers tapped lightly or heavily on the table. The hall was quiet in an instant, Bi'er suddenly felt a little nervous, she looked at Hua Qingyan and then at the strange man, opened her mouth to say something, but found that she had nothing to say.

At this moment, the door of the hall was pushed open with a creak, and the three of them turned their heads at the same time, and saw two small heads coming out of the crack in the door, blinking and looking at the people in the room with big eyes. When he saw the man, the two big eyes lit up in an instant, and they ran straight towards the man, grabbed his knees, and looked at him with his little head up.

Hua Qingyan: "......" these two children completely ignored her existence! It's heart-wrenching! She's ready to greet her! But her baby fell into the arms of strangers!

"Master Worry-free, Miss Xi'er come here!" Bi'er was also a little anxious, and hurriedly wanted to run over and pick up the two children back. They don't know this person well, what if this person is a bad person, what if they hurt the child! But the two children seemed to be glued to the man, no matter how Bi'er pulled it, they refused to let go, and Bi'er didn't dare to use great strength, for fear of hurting them.

The man looked at the two children and raised a bright smile, he touched the heads of the two children, looked up and said to Hua Qingyan: "The two children remember me well, and when they grow up, they will definitely be better than you as a mother!" ”

Hua Qingyan felt a pain in her brain, this man is really married, like a matchmaker! Hua Qingyan really can't wait to blast people out now!

seemed to feel Hua Qingyan's dissatisfaction, Xiao Wuwu turned his head to look at Hua Qingyan, and said pitifully: "Mother, don't drive him away, Wuwu likes him!" My sister likes it too! Xi'er was very cooperative, and focused on her little head.

In the face of two incomparably cute children, Hua Qingyan is always soft-hearted. She sighed helplessly, waved her hand and went with them, while she got some chestnuts from the kitchen, and sat aside and pulled Bi'er to peel the shell, but in fact she watched the man, lest he do anything to hurt her baby.
