, wonderful and free of pop-ups! Yang Ruoqing raised five fingers.
"Five eggs? OK!"
Yang Ruoqing shook her head.
"Five cents?"
"Fifty cents?"
Ms. Liu was still guessing, and Yang Ruoqing still shook her head.
Yang Ruoqing became impatient: "Are there any apprentices like this? Five taels of silver, one penny less, no need to talk!"
"What?" Mrs. Liu was so shocked that her voice rose, "Five taels of silver? Why don't you go and grab it? Damn you, fat girl, you are really crazy about money!"
"It's you, Fourth Aunt, who is crazy about money!" Yang Ruoqing sneered: "You were born by a rabbit and have pink eye. You don't want to see other people's kindness, so you want to take advantage of it? Go ahead and dream!"
The idea failed, and Ms. Liu was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
"You fat girl, don't be so arrogant, aren't you just making tofu? If I don't learn from you, I can still make it. Don't cry when I steal your business!"
Yang Ruoqing shrugged: "Your brain is just a ball of paste. I'm afraid what you get out of it is not tofu but paste, right? Hahaha~"
"Hmph, let's see!"
Mrs. Liu gave Yang Ruoqing and Mr. Sun a hard look and walked away.
Mrs. Sun looked at Ms. Liu's back as she left angrily, and walked to Yang Ruoqing with a worried look on her face.
"Hey, I just find it strange. Why is she talking as if she's a different person? Is this the idea behind the co-writing?" Mrs. Sun sighed softly.
Yang Ruoqing twitched her lips: "Fourth Aunt is a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken. She's uneasy and well-intentioned!"
"Qing'er, tell me, will she really make tofu?" asked Sun, a little worried.
Soybeans are available in every household.
It is rare that soybeans can be used to make tofu.
Judging from the current situation, in eight villages within ten miles, only my daughter has this job.
It also means that I rely on this job to support my family.
If this was really messed up by the fourth brother and sister, wouldn't this tofu business...
Yang Ruoqing looked at Mrs. Sun, taking in all her mother's thoughts.
She said to Mrs. Sun: "Don't worry, Mom, making tofu is not that easy. With my fourth aunt's brain, she can't learn it! But -"
"But what?"
Just as Sun was half relieved, she was lifted up again.
Yang Ruoqing frowned slightly, "But let's make tofu at night from now on, and the doors and windows must be closed to prevent Fourth Aunt from studying secretly!"
Sun nodded repeatedly, "Well, you have to be careful!"
"Mom, it's time to cook dinner. You go to the kitchen first. I'll close the pigsty and come to help you!"
"good!"
The family had a simple dinner.
After Xiao An finished washing, she went to bed to rest. Yang Ruoqing massaged Yang Huazhong's legs as usual. By the way, she told Sun and Yang Huazhong that she went into the mountains with Luo Fengtang to collect herbs.
"What? Are you going to the mountains?"
Although Luo Fengtang was accompanying him, Sun was still very nervous.
"Qing'er, can't you just buy your father's medicine at the drugstore in town? In the deep mountains, adults don't dare to go in because there are wild beasts!" Ms. Sun advised.
Yang Ruoqing said: "Mom, there are two herbs in dad's prescription that are a little bit rare and hard to find. I've been to the pharmacies in town and asked them several times, but they're not available."
"What about going to the county town to look for it?" asked Sun.
"It's probably hard to find." Yang Ruoqing said truthfully: "Even if I could find it, I'm afraid it would be a sky-high price, and it's not something people like us can afford!"
Sun was silent.
Yang Huazhong struggled to sit up, "Qing'er, dad knows that you are a good girl and filial, and dad is satisfied."
"But dad can't let his daughter go into danger in the mountains for the sake of his own legs! You go and tell Tang Yazi tomorrow morning not to go!"
Yang Ruoqing smiled slightly at Yang Huazhong: "Dad, it's okay. We are not going into the deep mountains and old forests. We will just wander around the two hills behind the woods."
"It's winter, and the wild beasts in the mountains have gone deeper into the mountains to hibernate. It's very safe."
"Besides, I'm not alone. I also have Luo Fengtang. He is a well-known hunter in our village and is very experienced. With him taking care of me, what else do you have to worry about?"
Sun and Yang Huazhong finally failed to defeat Yang Ruoqing.
Yang Huazhong said: "Qing'er, I'll go back early tomorrow. I must return to the village before dark, do you understand?"
Yang Ruoqing nodded vigorously.
Sun said: "Go to bed early tonight so that you will be energetic and energetic tomorrow!"
"Um!"
Yang Ruoqing responded and said to the old Suntou who was smoking a cigarette over there: "Gong Gong, I won't see you off when you return to the village tomorrow. You walk slowly on the road. During the Chinese New Year, we will visit you and your family again." Ga Po!”
"Okay, okay!" Old Sun smiled lovingly at Yang Ruoqing.
After clearing the basin, Yang Ruoqing returned to her house.
Old Suntou, who had been sitting aside and smoking a cigarette, glanced at Sun and Yang Huazhong and finally spoke.
"Shuzhen, third child, don't worry. Qing'er is a very well-informed child, and Tangyao is also a good and reliable child. They will go into the mountains together, and nothing will happen to them!"
…
Have a good night's sleep.
The next day, at dawn, Yang Ruoqing put on her clothes and went to the ground.
In the kitchen, Mrs. Sun had already prepared breakfast in the dark.
Today's breakfast was a bowl of poached eggs. Yang Ruoqing counted a total of six poached eggs!
"Mom, these eggs have been saved for many days. I have to save them to replenish the health of my two brothers. How can you cook them for me in one go? No way!"
Yang Ruoqing was extremely distressed.
Mrs. Sun came over from the stove and smiled lovingly at Yang Ruoqing.
"Silly girl, you are also my mother's child. Why can't you eat these eggs?"
"mother……"
"Eat it while it's hot. Mom put a spoonful of caramel and some lard in it. I'm sure it will suit your taste." Mrs. Sun said, handing a clean spoon to Yang Ruoqing.
Yang Ruoqing couldn't resist, so she had to take the spoon. Under Sun's pressure, she put down the spoon after eating two.
"How can such a big girl have the strength to climb the mountain if she only eats these two? Eat more!" Ms. Sun urged.
"Mom, these poached eggs are full and I really can't eat them. You can keep this and heat it up for your two brothers!"
"Brothers, the same goes for other things. Qing'er is good, listen to mother and eat!" Ms. Sun was still persuading.
Yang Ruoqing shook her head. She would kill the remaining four and refuse to eat them again!
Sun had no choice but to give up, turned around and took out a bowl of hot tortillas from the cupboard, wrapped it in several layers of oil paper and put it in Yang Ruoqing's backpack.
"You take this dry food and water with you, and you can help Tang Yazi with you at noon."
"okay!"
Sun insisted on sending Yang Ruoqing to the back of the village, where Luo Fengtang was already waiting.
In the morning light, the tall figure of the boy stood by the stream behind the village, standing tall and tall, giving people an extremely solid feeling.
As he got closer, he discovered that he had an iron bow on his shoulder, and the quiver on his back was filled with neat bows and arrows.
At his waist, there is a short knife for self-defense and a hatchet for cutting mountains and logging.
In one hand, he was holding a bundle of hemp rope, with a three-claw hook strung on one end of the hemp rope.
fully armed!
