Chapter 46 Calculation
Wen Xi lowered his head to look into the wooden barrel, and sure enough, it was full of eels, tangled together. The big ones weighed half a pound, and the small ones were as thick as a thumb. This barrel must weigh more than ten pounds!
"Yuanyuan, do you have any more at home?" Wen Xi asked.
"Sister Xiaoxi, they are no longer at home. They are all here." Zhao Yuanyuan shook her head, then looked at Wenxi with anticipation.
"Okay, I get it. It's too late to make it today. I'll make it tomorrow night, and then we'll each have half." Wen Xi certainly understood what Zhao Yuanyuan's family meant. They didn't have that many seasonings, nor were they that good at cooking. The eel, which had high nutritional value, didn't taste good when cooked by them, so they wanted Wen Xi to make it. Giving Wen Xi half of the benefits wouldn't be a loss for Wen Xi.
"Thank you, Sister Xiaoxi." Zhao Yuanyuan hurriedly thanked her. Thinking of the delicious fish she had eaten before, Zhao Yuanyuan couldn't help drooling.
After Zhao Yuanyuan left, Wen Xi came in carrying the eel. Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue came over to take a look and were confused. "Xiao Xi, what is this?"
"This is yellow eel, a kind of fish without scales, and it tastes very good when cooked." Wen Xi explained that they really can't see these things in the city because it is not popular among city people to eat these aquatic products.
Shen Jiaojiao looked at Wen Xi, "I have never seen this thing, I don't know how to deal with it, Xiao Xi, can you handle it?"
"The elderly in my family have eaten this, so I know how to deal with it. Don't worry about it. Cooking is my job. You just need to worry about what you should do." These eels were just caught today and were covered in mud. Wen Xi first fetched water to rinse the eels to wash away the mud, then sent them to the bathroom and kept them in a wooden basin.
There are two wooden basins in the bathroom now, both of which contain aquatic products, one for eels and the other for fish, but there are only three fish. After each meal, she puts three more fish into the basin. She is mainly afraid that others will come in and say something when they see too many fish. Three fish are not too many, and there are fish in the river bends, canals and even rice fields. Whoever wants to eat can catch them, and there is no reason to criticize her because of the three fish she has.
After dinner and washing up, everyone went to bed.
Liang Zhaodi found out that Nie Xiulan was not at the educated youth point tonight, so she quietly went out after everyone fell asleep and began to carry out her revenge plan.
She will not let go of both Nie Xiulan and Wen Xi. She wants to kill two birds with one stone and get rid of these two threats at once, so that she can be with Lu Xiaoyun.
Nie Xiulan found Qian Liang, a second-rate person, but how could such a large production team have only one second-rate person? So Liang Zhaodi went to find another second-rate person in Fengshou Brigade who was even worse than Qian Liang.
Because a bad name is easy to keep, everyone calls him puppy.
Don't be fooled by the fact that this puppy has a small family, just him and his mother. But his mother is not a good person. No matter who falls into her hands, he will be skinned alive.
She first forced her mother-in-law to death, and then forced her husband to death. She became a widow in her early thirties and later raised several children alone. She married off her daughter at a very young age in exchange for a dowry to raise her son. Even now, she still goes to her daughter's house every now and then to ask for money and food. She raised her puppy to be lazy and gluttonous, and the puppy would tease cats and dogs outside and hide in the woods with the widow.
In the woods at the junction of the two villages, Liang Zhaodi stood in front of the puppy with some fear. After all, he was a second-rate guy, and Liang Zhaodi was also afraid that she would get herself into trouble. She still wanted to marry Lu Xiaoyun with an intact body!
"Nie Zhiqing, you asked me to come to the grove so late at night. Do you want to hide in the grove with me?" The puppy looked at the shadow standing in front of him with a wretched face. Although he couldn't see clearly who it was, he had seen Nie Xiulan before, so he naturally knew what she looked like. Whenever he thought of Nie Xiulan's face and figure, the puppy couldn't wait, "Nie Zhiqing, let your brother take good care of you. Your brother will definitely not let you down..."
As he spoke, the puppy stretched out his hand towards Liang Zhaodi.
Liang Zhaodi hurriedly stepped back and said gently, imitating Nie Xiulan's tone, "Brother Puppy, do you want a wife?"
"Of course, Nie Zhiqing, do you want to be my wife?" Xiao Gou grabbed Liang Zhaodi's arms and leaned over to kiss her. Liang Zhaodi felt so disgusted that she was about to vomit, but considering that her plan still needed Xiao Gou to execute, she gave Xiao Gou a little sweet treat to make him happy, but she would not give him her body. Otherwise, what if Lu Xiaoyun found out and disliked her?
"Brother Xiaogou, I came to you today to introduce you to a rich and beautiful wife, the new educated youth Wenxi. Do you know her? Her family is very rich. As long as you win her over, Brother Xiaogou will be very successful in the future. My family is not well off, and I can't let Brother Xiaogou live a good life, so I can only reluctantly give up Brother Xiaogou to Wenxi. Brother Xiaogou, as long as you marry Wenxi, I will come out to meet Brother Xiaogou whenever Brother Xiaogou wants to see me in the future. How about it?" Liang Zhaodi leaned in Xiaogou's arms, a trace of calculation flashed in her eyes, "In this way, Brother Xiaogou will have two wives, one Wenxi at home, and one Nie Xiulan outside, that is, me. How great is it? How many people in this world can enjoy the blessing of having two wives like Brother Xiaogou? Brother Xiaogou, do you think Xiulan is right..."
The puppy was so bewildered by Liang Zhaodi's coaxing that he quickly reached out and grabbed Liang Zhaodi's hand, pulling Liang Zhaodi into his arms, and said in an anxious and ambiguous tone, "Xiulan, dear Xiulan, can I take good care of you? I am as persistent as my name suggests, and I will definitely satisfy you..."
Liang Zhaodi leaned on Xiaogou in an ambiguous manner, "Brother Xiaogou, let's discuss your marriage first, and then talk about our business, okay?"
Xiao Gou buried his face in Liang Zhaodi's neck. The girl's faint fragrance almost drove him crazy, but Liang Zhaodi refused to give it to him. Xiao Gou said anxiously, "Xiu Lan, then tell me quickly, what can I do to marry Wen Xi? And that Wen Xi, I heard that the betrothal gift from her family is not low. Can I really marry Wen Xi?"
Liang Zhaodi patted Xiaogou's shoulder coquettishly, "Xiaogou brother, you are so outstanding, don't underestimate yourself. Besides, I am here to help you. Let alone Wenxi, even if it is a fairy, you can marry her and let her serve you."
The puppy excitedly picked up Liang Zhaodi and leaned her against the tree trunk, "Xiu Lan, tell your brother what he should do..."
