Lin Xi woke up early. She had a lot of things to do today. She had to take advantage of the good weather to take out the sweet potato flour to dry, so she got up extra early.
When she came to the kitchen, she planned to wash up briefly, but when she reached the stove, she stopped, rubbed her eyes in disbelief, and opened her mouth wide. What did she see?
A wild boar and—two pheasants and two hares?
The big wild boar, with fresh blood stains on its body, was being placed on two benches; and the four wild animals were also dead and placed in wooden basins.
Where did this come from? Why did you show up at her house?
Lin Xi, who couldn't recover for a long time, was stunned for a while, and then she remembered that the person next door said yesterday that she would send a few more to her today.
But there were too many of them. She thought that at worst she would send two more of the same wild animals as yesterday, but it turned out that this was too scary!
With this amount, those who didn’t know it would have thought that his family was hosting a banquet for guests.
In their place, weddings are nothing more than this, and they have to be of a standard that only the patriarch's family can afford.
Surprised, it was delivered. She had to ask the person how he wanted to arrange it and if he had any plans. How else would she handle so much meat.
After washing her face hastily and taking all the sweet potato flour out to dry in the yard, Lin Xi immediately went to the next door.
Knocking on the door and going in, he found that the servant was gone again, and his master was the only one sitting under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree reading a book.
"Good morning, Mr. Gu!"
Gu Huaiban glanced at it, and saw that a girl was wearing another outfit with the same weird patchwork today, and his eyebrows couldn't help but rise.
If it didn't catch his eye, he would reply unfriendly: "Miss Lin, it's late, the sun has already climbed up the wall."
Well, the polite words were blocked. How could she continue the topic? Lin Xi was a little embarrassed.
He could only laugh a few times and ask: "I don't know when a big wild boar and four wild animals appeared in my kitchen. Did Gu Qi bring them? What should I do with them?"
Gu Huaibang took a sip of tea, looked away, endured it, and replied to her: "I asked someone to send it over. You can do whatever you want. It's for you."
"Ah!? But this is too much. This meat is enough for you and us to eat meat every day for a month or two!"
"Really? Then eat more~"
You must not be fat to death. Lin Xi rolled his eyes. This is not a good way to eat meat. Master, you are really a noble son of a rich family. It’s not that you are poor and don’t know how to be hungry.
"It's not a question of eating too much. It's not easy to store so much meat. Although the weather is getting cooler now in autumn, you can put it in the well for ice, but the ice can only be kept in the well for two or three days. Besides, there is so much meat, it will definitely not be kept in the ice. "." Lin Xi was worried to death. She had no meat and thought about eating meat every day. Now that she has meat, she is worried instead.
"Tsk~" Gu Huaiban frowned, is there still too much meat? : "How to deal with it?"
Lin Xi wanted to help her forehead, "Master, I'm here to ask your opinion. Why are you asking me instead? You guys beat this meat, so naturally I have to listen to what you want to do with it."
"Why don't you sell half of this? There is a hunter in the village who often goes into the mountains to hunt. The meat he hunts is sold in the county. I either want to ask him if he accepts wild boar meat?" Lin Xi asked tentatively. ask.
Gu Huaibang shook his head: "No need, keep it for yourself, it won't be worth much if you sell it." He didn't miss the money for the meat.
Lin Xi wanted to cry: "Mr. Gu, I can't finish eating so much, and this wild boar is so fat, I won't kill it!"
"Huh? Don't you know how?" It was Gu Huaibang's turn to be surprised: "I see that you are very good at handling pheasants and rabbits. I thought you could kill pigs as well."
God, my God, Lin Xi was about to vomit blood, and she hurriedly defended: "I am a little girl, how about a little girl? Mr. Gu, how big are the chickens and hares? How big is this pig? This pig is bigger than me. I am the one who killed it." Oh, it still eats me, how could I kill a pig?"
Gu Huaibang held the book and covered half of his handsome face as he looked at the angry man. He couldn't hide the smile in the corners of his eyes. He said she could kill pigs because he was complimenting her. Why was she anxious?
What does this bright smile mean? Why is it so dazzling? Although a good-looking person looks better when she smiles, why does she dislike this smile so much.
"That's it!~ I thought Miss Lin was as clever and clever as this dress, but I misunderstood."
Lin Xi glared at him and glared at him frantically. What does it mean? How does this relate to the clothes she's wearing? This Mr. Gu's brain circuit is always different from that of normal people. It's a waste of time. It's better not to ask him.
Gu Huaibang replied to her with a hidden smile: "It's up to you. Anyway, I'll give it to you. You can deal with it however you want. As long as we have a stutter, it's fine."
"Come on~ I'm going to ask Uncle Chen to help. After all, I don't have money to pay him. He needs to take some meat as wages."
After saying that, he turned around to leave. Why did he think she was a strong woman who could kill a pig without even taking a breath? What's that look in his eyes? His body is just a skeleton. How can he tell that he can kill a pig? Still killing pigs? If she could really kill pigs, with such a powerful golden finger, would she still need to rely on them? Are you still afraid of that scoundrel Liu San?
"If you'd like to have breakfast, Miss Lin can also help me make one~"
In order to continue to have hot soup and rice in the future, it was better not to make anyone anxious. Uncle Gu Guo quickly retracted his smile.
Lin Xi turned to look at him unfriendly: "What about Gu Qi?" Gu Xiaoqi is better, enthusiastic and capable, but his handsome master seems to be very thoughtful and difficult to get along with, and he is also used to teasing others. .
"Gu Qi has something to do and will not come back until three days later."
"Oh~" After saying that, he left without looking back.
Gu Huaibang looked at the disappearing figure, laughed and shook his head. The nature of a little girl is not to be teased.
The three people in the darkroom looked at each other. Master, this is not teasing, just to make someone angry. I am a thin and petite girl. You said her clothes are ugly, and you also joked that she can kill a pig. Doesn't that mean? She is said to be a vulgar and powerful woman. As long as she is a woman, she would not be happy to be called such a woman.
By the way, the wild boar they shot wasn't that big either? These are the ones they have picked out, and some are even bigger than this.
Fortunately, I didn't hit the big one, otherwise, Miss Lin would have fainted from fright. As expected, the little girl is very delicate.
Jiao Didi, sullen and angry, returned to her yard, gently closed the door, and went down the slope to the west side of the village to find Chen Orion.
Their yard is not in the village, but is built on a flat slope on the east side of the village. There are only two families next to them in this place. The rest of the families in the village live on the other side of the river below. one side.
Their family is not from Taohua Village. They moved here just two years ago. This kind of village is usually populated by villagers of the same race and surname. Although the villagers are friendly and not exclusive, they are not surnamed Chen, and they couldn't integrate for a while, so they bought this small courtyard a little further away.
Lin Xi needs to cross a wooden bridge and then walk along the river for about one stick of incense before entering the village.
There are fields on both sides of the river. Villagers work in the fields in twos and threes with their heads down and their waists down. A few women are washing their feet, washing farm tools, and washing vegetables by the river, talking and laughing. Homely.
When they saw Lin Xi walking by, a few people who recognized her would smile and say hello to her: "Where are you going, girl from the Lin family?"
"I'm going to the village to ask Uncle Chen about something. Auntie, why are you digging so many wild onions?"
"Yes, how about I give you a handful?"
Lin Xi waved her hand: "No, no, you can keep it to eat. I also have some in my field."
Seeing her walking across the wooden bridge, the aunt who had been polite just now sighed to another woman next to her: "This girl from the Lin family is very good-looking, but she is a little too thin. She has a big ass and is very fertile. It's a pity that both her parents passed away. With two young children, it’s not easy to find someone to live with.”
"Isn't it?" The fat aunt also shook her head in regret: "She is a good girl with quick hands and feet, what a pity!"
"What's the pity? It's not like your big brother hasn't married yet, so let's give it to your big brother!"
"Bah~" The fat aunt poured water on her and laughed and scolded: "Can my big guy be worthy of such a handsome girl? Don't ruin her."
"Bah~" Aunt Yao scolded angrily: "You just don't like people dragging two little ones. If it weren't for those two little ones, the door would probably be trampled to pieces, and it would be your turn."
"Look at her mouth, it could be torn apart hahaha~"
Lin Xi, who didn't know that she was just crossing a bridge and had become the talk of several aunts, was walking when a figure suddenly jumped out of the haystack and pushed her. She exclaimed, "Bang!" and fell into the river.
"You little bitch, go to hell~"
