90s, The Cannon Fodder Wife of the Paranoid Boss is Reborn

Chapter 72 A gift is delivered to your door

 Go back to the utility room and turn over the snake repellent.

Xiao Wei hesitated all the way, and finally had the courage to speak: "Snake repellent will be ineffective when it rains."

“Furthermore, it can only drive away our backyard. If there are snakes upstream or downstream, they will come over.”

Before Bai Lu came to work on the vegetable garden, Xiao Wei encountered snakes several times in the weeds by the river.

Although they were driven away every time and snake repellent was put on them, when it rained and the powder was washed away, the snakes came again.

Xiao Cheng glanced at the little guy standing by the river. He didn't want to talk to him at first, but seeing the worry on his face, he remembered what Bai Lu said just now.

　　After silence, he said in a calm tone: "Make a circle of bamboo to surround the rose, and then sprinkle the medicinal powder."

Xiao Wei lowered his head and glanced at the few bamboos left. In fact, there were only eight bamboos left, and his little eyebrows twisted.

 “But there are not enough bamboos.” There are so many flowers.

Xiao Cheng raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the chestnut tree beside the vegetable garden and the big branches on the tree.

"Bai Lu said that if you prune the branches at this time, the chestnut tree will be injured." Xiao Wei decisively said Bai Lu's original words.

 Dispel Xiao Cheng's idea of ​​cutting down branches to surround the flowers.

Xiao Cheng clicked his tongue impatiently and glanced at him, "Go to the woodshed and bring some firewood."

Xiao Wei turned around and ran. After running a few steps, he suddenly remembered something and stopped to look back.

 “Long.” Xiao Cheng said.

 The little figure ran away like the wind.

There wasn't much long firewood in the firewood house. If there were, Bai Lu wouldn't have to go to Wang Cuihua's house to borrow it.

 But if you pick and choose, you can still get a dozen or so sticks, but even a dozen sticks are not enough!

 How will the elder brother surround the flowers?

Xiao Wei rushed out of the woodshed with a long piece of firewood in his arms and almost bumped into Bai Lu who was collecting clothes.

 “What are you doing carrying firewood?”

Bai Lu held a clothes pole in one hand and held the clothes of the three of them in the other, with confusion on her face.

Xiao Wei put away the long piece of firewood that almost poked her, and said seriously: "I don't know."

 “Big brother wants it.”

 After saying that, he ran towards the backyard with the firewood in his arms.

 Mysterious.

Bai Lu was a little curious and wanted to take a look. Suddenly there was a rhythmic knock on the door.

 Having no choice but to put the clothes back in the main room and open the door.

As soon as Wen Xiuyun saw Bai Lu outside the door, she immediately greeted her with a smile and gave her the black plastic bag in her hand.

"Bai Lu, this is the cured duck we brought back yesterday when we went to the countryside to worship our ancestors. The cured duck legs are very fragrant. They are ducks raised in our own fields. The duck meat is very chewy. Take it back and try it. taste."

Before Bai Lu could refuse, the plastic bag was hung up on her hand. The opening was not tied, and the inside was clearly visible.

 Three big wax ducks and six wax duck legs.

In small towns these days, even a piece of meat is a luxury, and three unopened whole ducks and duck legs were given as a gift. Bai Lu couldn’t accept this great gift because she had no merit. “The fifth aunt is too polite. The two duck legs were chopped into pieces and it was enough for a big plate. Acheng Xiaowei and I can’t eat much. Let’s try two duck legs.” enough."

"You want to sell fruits at a stall, and the children at home have to go to school. The elders in the family should help take care of the ducks. How can I taste so many of the ducks you have worked so hard to raise? If you insist on giving them all to me , then I can only ask about the price first.”

 After asking about the price, the next step is definitely to give money.

 Giving money means buying something, not giving it away.

Wen Xiuyun said hurriedly: "No, I said I gave it to you, how can I still ask for money? What's the difference between giving money and buying it on the street? We still have a lot of cured ducks and cured duck legs at home. We can eat ducks until the next trip." I can’t even finish the cured duck.”

"There are only three ducks and six duck legs in here, which is not enough to fit between teeth. You should show respect to the fifth aunt and take it back for a taste. Don't be polite to the fifth aunt."

Knowing that Bai Lu doesn't like to beat around the bush, nor does she like to accept gifts for no reason, if she delays it any longer and is seen by the neighbors, she doesn't know what kind of gossip will spread.

Wen Xiuyun was behind on words and immediately stated her purpose: "Bai Lu, my fifth aunt heard that you went back to the countryside to worship your ancestors yesterday. Did you bring back any good news?"

Bai Lu understood now.

He replied with a tacit smile: "There's good news. Cheng and I ordered a batch of chestnuts from the countryside. The flesh is very plump, the texture is soft and sweet, and there are basically no shriveled and cracked bad fruits. They are as high quality as the last batch."

Wen Xiuyun's face was full of joy: "That's really good. You don't know that during the few days of the shutdown, customers couldn't buy sugar-roasted chestnuts, so they went to Li Shuixian's house across the street to buy some paste chestnuts to satisfy their craving, and ended up eating them one by one. They all came to me and vomited their bitterness, saying that their intestines were green with regret."

“It doesn’t taste the same at all. I couldn’t swallow it at first, but then I bought it and swallowed it, but the taste is always wrong. It’s not the taste I want.”

“Everyone is urging me to stop selling fruit and go home and fry chestnuts as much as I can…”

Wen Xiuyun held Bai Lu's wrist and smiled so much that the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes became younger: "Didn't my husband also take some sugar-roasted chestnuts before and give them to the customers in the city to try? You don't know, during the Qingming Festival, people made reservations , more sugar-fried chestnuts than we sold in several days.”

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked behind him.

Bai Lu followed her gaze and saw a motorcycle parked there. On the car was a middle-aged man with a kind smile, who was smiling and nodding at her to say hello.

Bai Lu also smiled and nodded in response.

 Although everything was expected, it was still a bit unexpected to receive the good news so soon.

 Furthermore, the amount of the bacon and duck legs... Bai Lu guessed that Wen Xiuyun might have something to say.

As expected, Wen Xiuyun finished reporting the good news one by one, and then chatted a few commonplace words.

Finally, she asked in a soft voice: "Bai Lu, fifth aunt was selling fruits at the stall today. She saw Wang Cuihua next door going to the street to buy vegetables. She told everyone she met that she also wanted to do business. No one asked her what she was doing. Business."

“She said she also sells sugar-roasted chestnuts... She also said the taste is exactly the same as what I sell at home, and they are the most authentic..."

Wen Xiuyun also deleted some of what she said.

Wang Cuihua replied at that time that she was in the same place with her, making the same authentic roasted chestnuts with sugar.

Wang Cuihua lives next door to Bai Lu, and her husband who passed away was said to be Xiao Cheng's brother who had been with him for many years.

Other than going to Bai Lu to get the most authentic sugar-roasted chestnuts, where else could Wang Cuihua go to get it?

Wen Xiuyun's heart was tightened at that time, if Bai Lu's partner was changed to Wang Cuihua.

What should we do with the old customers who have developed an appetite for roasted chestnuts with authentic sugar?

 She and her husband have so many scheduled orders, where can they make the most authentic sugar-roasted chestnuts for their guests?

Wang Cuihua has occupied the market. Will those customers who come back to her for roasted chestnuts turn around and buy from Wang Cuihua again, and stop patronizing her business?

Thinking of the consequences of these heavy losses, Wen Xiuyun could not sit still, so she quickly sent the waxed duck and duck legs that she had originally promised to sell to old customers as gifts to Bailu with her husband, and took the opportunity to inquire about the news.
