Chapter 118: Sour
Fang Nanzhi reflected on himself and decided to pay attention to what the system brother said in the future.
[Ding, friendly reminder, host, your rescue mission has not yet been completed. Please speed up the process to open the trading channel!]
[Ding, friendly reminder, the host's mandatory task has not been completed. If there is no progress for a long time, it will be considered as passive resistance and the system will impose certain penalties.]
The system was particularly ruthless today and rang twice in succession.
Fang Nanzhi's attention was instantly diverted and she scratched her head.
Rescue mission? She spread out her hands. How could it be difficult for a seven-year-old like her?
As for sending her brother to school, the little girl frowned and thought, "Doesn't our family make money? Shouldn't we be able to send our brother to academy?"
If her brother went to the academy, she would be the only one at home with her second uncle and Aunt Qian. Aunt Qian spoiled her, so she would have no one to suppress her!
The little girl's eyes lit up, but she quickly looked around guiltily, hiding her little thoughts.
He deliberately straightened his face, thinking that he needed his father's help with both of these things.
With her father around, she doesn't have to worry about being punished by the system brother.
Feeling relieved, Fang Nanzhi slowly got up.
When she came out to wash her face, she found out that her father and Uncle Tiezhu had already gone into the city.
The two borrowed a cart from their neighbor, pushed the cakes on one cart and the wild boar on the other, and sold them both.
Fang Nanzhi paused while wiping her face and pouted: "Auntie, I want to eat meat too."
Such a big wild boar scared her.
How can we replenish our body without eating it?
Qian Fengping couldn't help but stretched out her hand to pinch her little face, and said gently: "Don't worry, your father left some for you. It's in the kitchen."
The little girl washed herself quickly, drank a big bowl of milk, and ran to the kitchen while burping.
In the kitchen, there were about 20 kilograms of meat on the chopping board, as well as intestines and other things, placed in a large basin.
Fang Yin, a 1.8-meter-tall man, huddled on the doorstep and sighed deeply.
There was a whole pig in the morning, but now this is all that's left.
The third brother pushed him away, saying before leaving: "Second brother, eating too much meat will cause you to get angry, and your wound hasn't healed yet."
Fang Yin pouted in grievance, but he was not stupid.
My eldest brother rarely went to the fields before, and when he cut his finger with a sickle, his family would buy him meat to nourish him.
At that time, he wanted to steal a piece, but was beaten by his father.
Humph, the third brother has learned bad things and lied to him.
But he is my brother, so I can only forgive him.
Fang Nanzhi ran over to take a look and felt much more satisfied. There was so much meat that he could eat it for a long time, hehe!
The uncle and nephew did not share the same joy, but they both sat on the threshold of the kitchen, with their hands on their cheeks, in a daze, unwilling to leave.
As soon as Chen entered the Qin family's gate, she saw this scene and couldn't help laughing: "Zhizhi, where is your mother?"
She is the daughter-in-law of the village chief and came to the Qin family to deliver firewood two days ago.
At that time, my father-in-law said that Fang Tong was going to be successful. Sure enough, not long after that, the Qin family got a big wild boar for free.
This news spread throughout the village this morning.
The little girl came back to her senses and immediately stood up: "Aunt Chen, are you here to sell chestnuts?"
She stretched her legs and ran to the backyard to look for someone.
But Qian Fengping had already come out when she heard the noise.
"Aunt Chen, why are you here? Come on, sit inside."
The village chief's eldest daughter-in-law is a respectable person, so she naturally has to be polite.
"Mrs. Qian, you're welcome. I heard that a wild boar broke into your house last night? That wild boar is very tolerant. I hope no one in the family was hurt?" Chen was also a capable person and asked with concern.
The last time I was embarrassed was because I was giving firewood to someone else. I felt sorry for it.
"We were lucky, nothing serious happened. But suddenly a wild boar came, and I don't know if it came down from the mountain. Alas, I'm afraid that the wild animals in the mountains have no food to eat, so they will come down to harm the village." Qian Fengping sighed.
Wild boars always live in groups. Now that one has died, who knows if the remaining wild boars will come back to take revenge.
"That's right." Chen clapped her hands. Wild boars can cause harm to people, which is very dangerous. "I'll talk to my father-in-law later."
Fang Nanzhi on the side looked left and right, then crossed his fingers, feeling a little guilty.
“Brother System, it’s not like you gave me a wild boar and I just followed a group.”
[No.] The system responded.
The little girl breathed a sigh of relief.
While she was distracted, Qian Fengping and the others were already talking about business.
"Recently, my family has been working in the fields and picking chestnuts. They are very tired and need to replenish their energy. I was thinking of buying a pound of fatty meat..." said Chen.
After all, they are the village chief's family, and they have deep roots. They are willing to spend money to buy meat at this time.
Qian Fengping agreed immediately. She had more than 20 kilograms left and wanted to sell some of it to the villagers.
People from the same village should always have relationships with each other.
When she went to cut the meat, the uncle and nephew Fang Yin at the door widened their eyes.
These are all that are left, why are you still selling them?
Fang Nanzhi sighed like a little adult, but before he could finish his breath, a lot of people came to the gate of the courtyard.
Some people come to buy meat, but more come to watch the fun.
After all, being able to hunt a wild boar is a novelty.
It’s a pity that Fang Tong was dragged away by a wild boar, so he couldn’t see the legendary wild boar weighing over a thousand pounds with his own eyes.
Cheng Dafu said kindly, "Sister-in-law, was the wild boar that came to your house yesterday really as tall as a hill?"
"Yes, Sister Qian, I heard Fang Tong fought a wild boar alone and was covered in blood. He was seriously injured. Why isn't he at home? Did he go to the city to see a doctor?"
"Sister-in-law, last night the beggar got up and said he saw a black wild boar running towards your house like crazy, and it seemed to have set its sights on your third son. What did your third son do to the wild boar?"
Others followed suit and asked.
Qian Fengping's forehead was full of black lines. What does this have to do with anything?
What else can we do to wild boars?
"The third brother is fine. He went to the city to sell meat today." She had just started to explain when someone interrupted her.
"Oh, meat is not cheap in the county right now, Qian sister, your family is going to make a fortune. How heavy is that wild boar?"
The person who asked the question was obviously jealous.
Before Qian Fengping could speak, Chen came out carrying some meat, put her hands on her hips and shouted, "Mrs. Lu, what's your business? Just eat the radish and mind your own business."
After all, she was the daughter-in-law of the village chief. Once she opened her mouth, no one dared to speak nonsense anymore.
Qian Fengping took the opportunity to say, "Going to the city to sell meat is a man's job. As a woman, I can't interfere. However, before leaving, the third brother deliberately left some for me and told me that villagers should pay fifteen cents per pound. We are all from the same village, so we can't take advantage of everyone."
Fifteen cents?
This was the normal price in peacetime, but now the price of pork in the city is almost double.
The Qin family gave fifteen cents to the villagers, which was really generous.
Now, those who are jealous and envious have nothing to say.
Cheng Dafu, who was grateful, also followed the yin and yang: "Sister Lu, it was also risky for others to get a wild boar. If you are jealous, why not let Brother Lu go to the mountains to hunt pigs too."
This one sentence made Mrs. Lu's face turn red and she felt choked.
If her man has this ability, why would she envy others?
"Forget it, Dagun, don't let a wild boar scare you into peeing your pants again, or you'll have to wash it off yourself."
I don't know who responded, but the crowd burst into laughter.
