Chapter 768

The three of them stared wide-eyed, with stunned expressions on their faces, apparently not expecting such an operation.

The farmer was still imparting experience, saying: "If this chicken is fed enough, it will weigh four or five taels, and meat is expensive in the first month, at least five or six pennies more."

Bai Shan swallowed, "Is the chicken I bought in the past also like this?"

Man Bao seriously recalled the chickens she had bought before. It seemed that she mostly bought them when she wandered around the village during the lunch break. She was slightly relieved, "I shouldn't have been tricked."

Bai Erlang laughed loudly, and said cheerfully, "My family never buys chickens outside, and my farm has always produced chickens."

Bai Shan and Man Bao ignored him together.

The farmer was a little embarrassed, and said: "Master, Miss Man, many people do this, not just ours..."

And the farmer said in a low voice: "Bai Zhuangtou asked us to catch chickens to sell in the past two days, and that's what he did..."

Bai Shan and the others: "...So we also did deceitful things."

Farmers: ...

But none of the three raised any objections, Man Bao said: "This very beautiful rooster doesn't need to be fed specially on the Lantern Festival, we are not selling it to people who eat it."

The farmer scratched his head and asked, "If you don't eat this chicken, what else can you do with it?"

Man Bao chuckled, "That's very useful."

For example, it can be used to fight.

The three of them got a lot of good-looking chicken feathers, so they found a big rock and sat down to tidy them up, planning to make them into shuttlecocks.

Bai Shan sharpened the root of the chicken feather with a knife, and asked, "Can our chicken really be a fighting cock?"

"Try it. If it doesn't work, let's take it to my sister-in-law's shop and eat it stewed." After thinking about it, Man Bao said, "I think it tastes better when it's fried."

Bai Shan: "I think so too."

They raised a lot of chickens and ducks in their small village, and also laid a lot of eggs and duck eggs, so they didn't have to worry about meat and eggs.

And now life in Qili Village is much better than before. Most households have chickens, which are basically saved for Chinese New Year.

Not to mention the old Zhou family.

Their family built a large chicken shed at the foot of the mountain behind the house, and raised nearly a hundred chickens, and also raised two big geese to watch the chickens. With them, not to mention people, even weasels would not dare to come.

So after the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the village always smells like meat.

Lao Zhou has a large family, and every night he can kill a chicken and eat it cleanly. Occasionally, he will go to Daji to buy some pork or mutton to go with it.

If Lao Zhoutou and Qian Shi were reluctant to kill chickens, Man Bao would bring back a killed chicken from his small village.

So, Master Bai finally got something that his son respected, and when he was happy, he kept giving him pocket money.

Bai Erlang is much smarter than when he was a child. After seeing it, he understood, so he went to the Zhuangzi every now and then to get back a bag of eggs, a chicken or a duck. Today he brought it to his grandmother and said that he was honoring her grandmother. I went to my father and said it was for my father...

So he got some pocket money, as well as the gratifying smiles of his grandmother and parents.

Of course, he also remembers the most small accounts, becoming the person who took the most meat and eggs from Xiaozhuangzi this year.

Man Bao and Bai Shan were dumbfounded.

Man Bao thought about it seriously, and felt that it was impossible for her to go back with the meat and eggs and expect her father to give her pocket money, so she gave up this idea and looked at Bai Shan.

Bai Shan also looked depressed, "Now that I bring things home, grandma won't even praise me."

Bai Erlang smiled proudly.

Bai Shan and Man Bao decided to ignore him for the time being today, so they talked together, "Tonight is New Year's Eve, do you want to come out to play?"

"You can play at the banyan tree, but you have to go back to watch at night, and it's so cold outside, my mother won't let me blow the wind outside."

Bai Shandao: "My grandmother doesn't let me blow the cold wind outside, so do you want to come to my house to play and watch the night with us?"

"No, I want to watch the night with my parents," Man Bao directly refused, "and I have gifts to give them at night."

"Didn't you give all the gifts?"

Man Bao said vaguely: "I also bought some other gifts for my mother and the others, which are special gifts that you have never seen before."

In fact, it was the jewelry she bought from the mall. The next day after she came back, she patronized and played, and sent Mr. Zhuang away the next day, so she couldn't send it out.

And the things she brought back from Yizhou City were pulled back from Bai's house by Zhou Zhoulang and distributed directly to everyone.

Everyone also knew that Man Bao gave them those things, so when Man Bao came back from playing outside, he received a series of thanks, and then there was nothing else.

Man Bao felt that it was not a good time to give gifts, so he never gave them.

Bai Shan didn't expect that she would have a special gift, so he was silent for a while and then asked: "Then do you want to prepare a special gift for grandma and mother too?"

Man Bao nodded, "It's always happier to receive gifts."

Bai Shan looked at Man Bao for a while.

Bai Erlang didn't know when he ran to the river to join in the fun, turned to look for them, saw that they were still standing on the side of the road talking, waved his hands and shouted: "They are touching the loach, do you want to come?"

Bai Shan and Man Bao only looked at the shore for a while, then shook their heads, "No, it's so cold, if you get sick, you'll be fine."

Bai Erlang was not convinced, "I never saw you cry when I went down the river when I was young."

Man Bao said: "That's because I'm sensible now, I'm a doctor anyway, don't tempt me to make mistakes."

Bai Shan burst out laughing when he heard this, and Bai Erlang also narrowed his eyes with a smile. For two days, he thought of Man Bao going to see a doctor for the little grandson of the village chief's family yesterday.

The boy had a runny nose because of playing in cold water, Man Bao prescribed medicine for him, and asked him to keep warm, but the boy said bluntly: "I saw my little aunt fishing in the ditch of Zhuangzi yesterday, so I just followed You fish together, you are not sick, but I am sick, so it must not be because of touching cold water."

The final conclusion is that he can also touch cold water.

Then Man Bao said that he would not go into the water to touch fish today, let alone touch loach.

In the end, Bai Shan and Man Bao stood on the bank and watched them touch the loach, and handed them bamboo baskets from time to time. Just like that, their bodies were also stained with mud, and they finally went home dirty.

Mrs. Qian was used to it. When she saw her coming back half covered in mud, she reached out and touched her hand. Seeing that it was warm, she didn't say anything to her. She waved her hand and said, "Go find your sister-in-law, hurry up and take a bath and change clothes, your sixth brother I just got home, and he brought back a lot of food from Yizhou City."

"Sixth Brother is back?" Man Bao ran to find her Sixth Brother.

Liu Liulang couldn't come back with them because he was working in a restaurant. He thought he wouldn't be able to come back this year for Chinese New Year. Who knew that their restaurant was on holiday on the 29th, so he found a motorcade to come back with them yesterday, and slept outside at night. Just came back one night.

Saturday Lang said: "Originally our boss wanted to host the New Year's Eve dinner, but who knows that Yizhou Palace has a temporary order to let our boss of Zhiweilou go to the palace to hold a banquet. The best food in our restaurant is the boss. Without a chef, we couldn’t handle the New Year’s Eve dinner, so the boss simply let us go home for the New Year. I also shared a lot of good things. Have you seen this beef? Your brother and I bought it for 120 yuan , much cheaper than buying from outside, and the most important thing is that you can buy it.”

Man Bao sucked in his saliva and asked, "Sixth Brother, how do you make this beef?"

"I don't know, I have to ask my sister-in-law. I have only seen the master make this expensive item, but I have never tried it before."
