When the two came to the place where the pork was sold, it was already past the end of the day, and most of the stalls had already closed, and only one stall was still selling meat.

Lin Yunxuan stepped forward to take a look, the meat looked quite fresh, she quietly stretched out her fingers and pressed the lean part of a piece of pork belly, and the meat quickly regained its elasticity, and she was relieved.

"Uncle, how do you sell this meat?" Lin Yunxuan asked, pointing to the pork belly on the board.

"Thirty dollars a pound, if you want all of them, twenty-nine dollars a pound." The owner of the meat stall was a burly man in his thirties, and replied angrily.

"I'll want them all." Lin Yunxuan saw that the pork belly was still fresh, and there were only about three catties left in the visual inspection, so she simply asked for it all.

"Okay." The owner of the meat stall grinned happily when he saw that Lin Yunxuan had bought all the pork belly, the weather was getting hotter, and the meat couldn't be stored for a long time, so he had long wanted to sell the meat quickly.

Soon, the boss wrapped the meat and handed it to Lin Yunxuan: "It's a total of ninety yuan, little girl, take it." ”。

"Uncle, how do you sell these bones?" Lin Yunxuan was about to give money, when she caught a glimpse of a few big bones in the corner of the board that had been cleanly removed, and couldn't help but point to the big bones and ask.

"I was going to take these bones home to make soup, if you want them, I'll count you two cents." The owner of the meat stall said with a smile.

"Then please wrap it up for me." Lin Yunxuan took out the money bag from her arms, counted ninety-two coins, and handed it to the owner of the meat stall.

The owner of the meat stall took the money, packed a few big bones and pork belly together, and put them in the basket on Zhao An's back.

After buying meat, Lin Yunxuan and Zhao An spent almost 200 yuan to buy ten catties of brown rice, ten catties of coarse noodles and some daily necessities, and filled the baskets they brought, so they rushed to the place where the ox cart was parked at the city gate with satisfaction. On the way, she passed by a stall selling tofu, and thought that she couldn't buy tofu in the village, so Lin Yunxuan bought another piece of tofu and put it on the top of the back basket.

Uncle Shuigen's ox cart stopped at the city gate, and usually near noon, Uncle Shuigen would drive the ox cart back to Gangtou Village. The villagers who wanted to go back by ox cart were waiting at the city gate before noon.

Lin Yunxuan and Zhao An returned to the city gate not too late, only five villagers were waiting for the ox cart, plus the two of them, there was still a place left.

After saying hello to the villagers, the two got into the car, sat down on one side, put the basket between them, and waited quietly for the departure.

After a quarter of an hour or so, Uncle Mizune, seeing that the time was almost up, raised his whip and shouted, and the ox cart moved.

"Wait for me, Uncle Mizune, wait for me! And me! At this moment, a high-pitched soprano voice came from behind her.

Uncle Mizune stopped the ox cart when he heard the sound.

Lin Yunxuan turned her head to look, and saw a woman wearing a brocca cheesecloth skirt with a red background waving her hands while panting and running after the ox cart.

It turned out to be the younger daughter-in-law of Gangtou Village, Li, she is a well-known poisonous tongue and big mouth in the village, and she usually gossips and likes to inquire about the east and west families, and what news reaches her, it doesn't take a quarter of an hour for the whole village to know. Because she is Lizheng's younger brother and daughter-in-law, her mother's family is relatively good in the town, and sometimes even if she doesn't speak well, ordinary people don't dare to get along with her.

Li finally got into the ox cart and sat down, just opposite Lin Yunxuan. When she straightened out her qi, her mouth couldn't stay idle.

"Yo, Brother An, what did you buy, so full." Li saw that the back basket next to Lin Yunxuan was covered by a blue cloth, puffed up, and asked curiously while lifting the blue cloth with his hand.

Lin Yunxuan pressed Li's hand and said lightly: "It's just some daily necessities." ”

"Yo, don't show it yet, I'm not uncommon to see it." Li withdrew his held hand, and said with some annoyance. "Two children's family, I don't know where the money came from to buy so many things."

"Auntie, our money..."Zhao An heard Li's words, and was anxious to defend.

"Of course my aunt gave it to them. Why, could it be that my aunt thought we stole it? Would you like to go to our house and ask my aunt and uncle in person? Lin Yunxuan interrupted Zhao An's words, she didn't want to let others know the secret of making money so quickly, at least not now. If everyone knows about catching fish, then they won't be able to make money.

"I'll just say it casually, just say it casually." Where was Li embarrassed to really come to the door to ask, so he had to say in a sneering manner.

After Lin Yunxuan signaled Zhao An to ignore Li, she turned her head and pretended to look at the scenery on both sides of the road, but she protected the cover cloth on the back basket without a trace.

Seeing that Lin Yunxuan didn't get any benefits here, Li turned his head and chatted with the others.

It is noon, the sun is also shining brightly at the end of spring and summer, although you don't have to walk on the ox cart, but you are walking against the big sun, and everyone is sweating slightly for a long time.

Lin Yunxuan put on the straw hat that she had never used when she went out in the morning, so she felt more comfortable. However, she forgot to bring water in the morning, and her mouth was dry at this time, so she could only endure to go home and drink water again.

Finally returned to the village, as soon as the ox cart stopped, everyone couldn't wait to get off, only Li slowly fell behind.

Zhao An and Lin Yunxuan were the penultimate to get off the bus. After Zhao An got out of the car, with the help of Lin Yunxuan, he put on the back basket, and the two were just about to leave, when suddenly Li rushed over and lifted the cover on the back basket with an arrow step, and saw the tofu and thick noodles on the top, and immediately said in a strange voice: "I have to show it, I bought so many things, and I got rich!" ”

Fortunately, this time was the time for lunch, and there was no one walking around the village, and most of the villagers who got off the bus in front of them walked relatively fast and far away, and they didn't hear what Li was saying very clearly.

Lin Yunxuan snatched the cover cloth and put it on the back basket again, and said with a wrinkled face: "How can you get rich, these things I bought today are all exchanged for the embroidery that my Aunt Fang has made for a long time." I knew that Aunt Li also went to the town today, so we borrowed some money from Aunt Li to buy a few more rations. We've all had sweet potatoes and porridge for days. Aunt Li, your back basket is also quite heavy, why don't we help you carry it? ”

"Who wants your help! I don't have the money to lend you! Li Shi protected his back basket, looked vigilant, and said viciously.

Just kidding, she brought back two catties of pork and a catty of sugar from her parents' house today, and she was going to go home and secretly hide some of them, how could she let others see that she brought something back.

Lin Yunxuan pretended to be sad, and said with a flat mouth: "Aunt Li, we just want to help with good intentions." ”

"Go aside, who is rare in your kindness." Lee waved at them like a fly.

"Aunt Li, then let's go first. If you don't have a lot of money, lend us some money. Lin Yunxuan said with a smile as if she didn't see Li's disgust with them.

Lee's stinky face was silent.

Lin Yunxuan ignored her after she was disgusted, and took Zhao An home with a snickering in her heart.

Li Shi looked at the backs of the two of them, spat on the ground, and hurried to the east of the village with a dry curse in his mouth. When he was about to reach the door, he turned a corner, turned around and entered a nearby courtyard.

"Wang, are you at home?" As soon as he entered the door, Li Shi shouted in a low voice. She was afraid that the sound would be too loud, and she heard it at home, and her mother-in-law knew that she didn't go home first, but ran to someone else's house, and she would definitely be counted.

Wang heard the sound in the courtyard and hurriedly walked out, and when he saw that it was Li, he greeted him with a smile: "Didn't you go back to your mother's house?" How did you get back today? ”

"Let's not talk about anything else, guess who I ran into in the car today?" Li leaned over and whispered to Wang's ear.

"Who did you run into?" Wang said suspiciously.

"Zhao An in your second room and He's aunt and niece, the two of them bought a lot of things in the town, and they have a basket full of them. Didn't you say they had no money in the second room? Didn't you give them anything when you drove them out in the first place? It's only been a long time, how can you have the money to buy so many good things? Li Shi thought of the gray nose he encountered at Lin Yunxuan today, and said angrily.

It turns out that the Li family has always had a good relationship with the Wang family, and the Li family gossiped a lot about their family's affairs from the Wang family, so they know a lot about their family's affairs.

When Wang heard this, he also wondered in his heart. When the two rooms were separated, except for the thatched house of the old house and a few acres of thin fields, there was nothing to be distributed. Their big room has already scavenged all the good things of the old man and the old lady of the Zhao family, and it is impossible to leave anything for the second room. Did they hide secretly?

"I see, the eight achievements are that you have hidden the private money in the second room, otherwise where will you have the money to buy these, and you dare to make trouble to split up." Li wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued. "I didn't expect it, this Zhao Dalin and He usually look at the two of them very honestly, and they will also play tricks."

Wang listened to Li's words, his eyes rolled, and he had a plan in his heart.

"I'll go to the second room in the afternoon to see what's going on. Have you eaten it? Would you like to come in and have a bite to eat? Wang put away his thoughts, and when he saw that Li was still carrying a basket, he knew that she definitely hadn't gone home yet.

"No, I'll eat when I get home, let's go first." Seeing that she hadn't been able to dig out any useful news from Wang's mouth, and was also worried that she would see the meat and sugar in the back basket, Li quickly waved his hand, turned around and left.

After the Wang family sent the Li family away, the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, and the more he felt that the second room must have secretly hidden private money. If she didn't go to the second room to find out what was going on, she didn't even feel the food in her mouth. So Li hurriedly took two mouthfuls of food, and didn't bother to explain it clearly to the others, so he hurried to the west of the village.

Lin Yunxuan and Zhao An returned home, put the basket on the stove in the kitchen, and hurriedly went to get off the fish cage.

As soon as Wang pushed open the fence gate of the yard, he happened to run into He Cuifang and Zhao Dalin, who had returned from the field.

"Sister-in-law, is there something wrong?" Zhao Dalin was shocked when he saw Wang's hurried appearance, thinking that something had happened, and hurriedly asked.

"I'll come over and find something." Wang prevaricated casually, his eyes constantly glancing towards the kitchen and the hall.

"What are you looking for? Why don't you say it and we'll help you find it. Lin Yunxuan, who came back from putting the fish cage, saw Wang's appearance and guessed that Li must have told her something, so she said.

Seeing that the family in the second room was there, Wang felt that now was not a good time, so he casually found a reason to leave.

He Cuifang and Zhao Dalin thought that the Wang family was weird today, but they didn't think much about it. Before lunch, my stomach was already rumbling with hunger, and I didn't have the strength to think about anything else.

When the family entered the house, Zhao An brought the leftover porridge and side dishes from the morning to the dining table, and Lin Yunxuan went to take out the meat buns in the back basket and beckoned the others to eat.

He Cuifang and Zhao Dalin were stunned when they saw the meat buns on the table, when was the last time they ate meat buns? It's been a long time, and they can't even remember what the meat buns tasted like.

"Dad, mother, Yun'er, we bought meat buns today, and they're still hot, you eat them quickly." Zhao An happily beckoned everyone to eat meat buns.

"Aunt Fang, uncle, we sold the fish balls for some money today, and I bought a few meat buns. You don't blame me, do you? Lin Yunxuan said with a smile.

"How can it be, that's a money-making recipe you came up with, you can arrange it however you want." He Cuifang came back to her senses, walked over and gently touched Lin Yunxuan's head and said.

"Great, there's meat buns to eat!" Zhao Yun'er danced happily.

"Aunt Fang, we ate it in the bazaar, these are all bought for you, you eat them quickly." Lin Yunxuan saw that He Cuifang was about to break a meat bun, and pressed her hand and said.

"Yes, mother. My sister and I have eaten at the bazaar, and these buns are yours. Zhao An received Lin Yunxuan's eyes and hurriedly spoke.

"Then I'll share one with your father, you and Xuan'er will eat half more, and Yun'er will eat one. Don't object, or your father and I won't eat it. He Cuifang said with a firm expression.

"Okay." Lin Yunxuan shrugged at Zhao An and took half of the bun.

"Is it okay to eat now?" Zhao Yun'er's eyes stared at the white and chubby meat buns, smelling the tempting fragrance, and her saliva was about to flow down.

"Eat, eat." Zhao Dalin smiled lovingly at Zhao Yun'er.

Ahh I'm going to eat meat buns in the future. "It's so cute.

Lin Yunxuan was happy, and gently poked Zhao Yun'er's bulging face: "When my sister makes money, I will buy you meat buns to eat every day, and Yun'er's face is as meaty as meat buns, okay?" ”

When Zhao Yun'er heard this, she giggled happily, and everyone laughed too, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was warm and harmonious.

When everyone was full, Lin Yunxuan and Zhao An cleaned up the table first, and then took out the same things they bought and put them on the table. He Cuifang and Zhao Dalin were stunned again when they saw a table full of things.

"This, these are all bought with the money from the sale of fish balls?" He Cuifang asked in surprise, pointing to something on the table, a little unbelieving her eyes.

"Those fish balls are so valuable?" Zhao Dalin was surprised and a little puzzled.

"My sister is so powerful, she can sell it for a lot of money after a few words with the shopkeeper of that restaurant." Zhao An said triumphantly.

"It's all such an exaggeration, it's just a normal business." Lin Yunxuan was a little embarrassed by what Zhao An said.

"Rare is expensive, because fish balls are currently relatively fresh and novel ingredients for them, so they can sell them at a good price. When everyone figured out what was going on, there wouldn't be such a high price. But I suggest that you don't reveal our money-making recipe to anyone else, and everyone should keep the secret recipe of fish balls. ”

Thinking of the various actions of the Li family and the Wang family of the big house at noon, Lin Yunxuan felt that it was necessary to take a preventive shot with everyone first.

"Uh-huh, can't say. I won't say anything about killing me. Zhao An was the first to raise his hand in agreement.

"Phew, phew! What is not dead, you spit and say it again! When He Cuifang heard Zhao An mention the word "death", he unceremoniously rewarded him with a violent shudder.

"I don't tell anybody else, I don't tell anybody else." Zhao An said bitterly.

"Sister, I won't say it either." Zhao Yun'er covered her mouth with one hand and said with the other.

He Cuifang looked at a pair of children who seemed to have become loyal fans of Lin Yunxuan, and said happily: "Xuan'er is right, this fish ball recipe was figured out by Xuan'er, and it can't be taken by others." And thanks to Xuan'er, we can eat meat buns today. ”

Zhao Dalin also nodded yes.

Lin Yunxuan saw that everyone listened to it, and temporarily put her mind at ease. It's not that she doesn't want to help others, it's just that she hasn't solved the problem of food and clothing yet, so where can she free up her hands to help others.

"Aunt Fang, our future days will get better and better, in addition to eating meat buns at any time in the future, we will also eat meat at once." After today's inspection, Lin Yunxuan is confident that she can earn more money to solve everyone's food and clothing problems.

"Okay, okay, our days will get better and better." He Cuifang's eyes were filled with tears, and her heart was also full of anticipation. For many years, she has been looking forward to living a life of food and clothing, and finally has hope. Thinking that all this was brought by Lin Yunxuan, she couldn't help but feel a little more grateful to Lin Yunxuan in her heart.

"I'll go to the kitchen now and clean up the pork bones and pork belly, and I'll leave the rest to you." After Lin Yunxuan finished talking to He Cuifang, she turned around and went to the kitchen to work.

He Cuifang and Zhao Dalin happily put everything in order.
