Chapter 84 (2/2)

The vegetable vendor was a middle-aged man, dressed in grey patched clothes. Fortunately, he was clean and tidy, and the vegetables were well sorted. At first sight, he was a down-to-earth and capable man.

”Well, little lady, there are 22 Wen in all. I'll take you 20 Wen.” The peddler said happily that she had bought so much and stuffed a handful of green onions into the fish pocket.

”Thank you, boss.” Zhang Man'er smiles and counts 20 Wen copper coins from his purse.

Xue Chuan looked at her smile with curved eyebrows and eyes, like willow leaves. His watery eyes were clear and bright. His heart trembled and he pulled her away.

”Daughter in law, do you want to buy pork?” Xue Chuan watched her go to the pork stall and asked.

”You are weak. I'll buy some meat and bones for you.” As soon as Zhang Man'er finished, he found that he still cared about him. He could not help biting his lips and staring at him.

Xue Chuan laughed and whispered in her ear. The voice brushed her cheek like a feather: ”daughter in law, you care about me so much.”

”Hum.” Zhang Man'er said.

I picked two big bones from the meat stand and thought about stewing peanuts to eat. This bone soup is nutritious. It can make him healthy.

Also called two Jin of fat and thin pork, the family's rice is not much, said ten jin of rice.

Looking at his hands full of things, Xue Chuan asked, ”daughter-in-law, what else do you want to buy?”

Zhang Man'er took a look at all the things he had, and almost bought them all. The market here goes every five days, and these vegetables are enough for five days. Thinking about it, it costs more than 100 Wen. It seems that the money for selling canned fish is only enough for daily expenses. If you want to build a house, it's still a drop in the bucket.

The food needs to be eaten one by one, and the road needs to go step by step. She first detoxifies him at the moment, and then she thinks of other ways to make a fortune.

When they went back, they happened to meet uncle Liu in the village, who was driving the ox cart back, so they quickly got on.

As soon as I got home, it was late. Zhang Man'er put these dishes in the cupboard one by one and left some for lunch.

Xue Chuan took a wooden basin and looked at the vegetables on the table and said, ”I'll wash the vegetables.”

Then he took the gourd ladle and scooped a few spoons of water from the water tank. He took it to the yard and began to wash one by one.

Zhang Man'er let out a sound, washed rice to cook, and went to the yard to move a little firewood in. He looked at Xue Chuan squatting at the door to wash vegetables in the bright sunshine, with the smell of soil. He had a straight and strong body, and his resolute face was gilded by the sunshine. He was so handsome that he couldn't move his eyes.

Zhang Man'er washed a handful of beans and pinched them into sections. When he hit the flint, he pulled a handful of straw and put a few pieces of dry firewood to make the fire in the oven hole jump all the time.

Then she went back to the kitchen table and got some rapeseed oil. After the pot was hot, she threw the beans into the pot and stir fried them with a spatula. Then she threw in the cut pepper and chopped garlic foam. When they were almost fried, she sprinkled a little salt and a dish of fried beans came out fresh.

A man was in charge of the stove hole and busy with the stove. He was busy running around for a while. After washing the vegetables, Xue Chuan put a wooden basin on the table to help with the fire.
