"What's so delicious about pork bones? They can't be chewed and are a waste of firewood." Lu Hai muttered dissatisfiedly. He wanted to buy some pork but his father didn't buy it. He didn't know whether it was because it was cheap or he should stick to this girl first.

But ten cents is enough to buy half a catty of pork. Many butcher shops give away large pork bones as a side dish, but people may not necessarily want them.

Xu Mengxiao also knew that nowadays people lack meat and meat, and they all like to eat fatty meat. It is satisfying to eat it. Even lean meat is not in short supply, let alone these pig bones. It was beyond her expectation that Lu Lizheng was willing to buy it for her.

"Girl, you go and have a rest. We can just make some noodles ourselves."

Lu Li was feeling grateful for the news about her, but he also thought that the doctor said that she was not in good health and planned to make the meal himself.

Lu Hai, who was complaining just a moment ago, his eyes widened instantly, "Dad, that..."

Xu Mengxiao raised an eyebrow.

"No..." Lu Hai still wanted to persuade him to stay, but Xu Mengxiao took the pig bones tied with straw ropes, put the meat into the bucket, and hung it in the well water to soak.

It's hot in summer, so if you don't cool it down like this, the pork bones will go bad if you don't keep them all straight.

Not long after, Lu Hai's face turned green as he ate the noodles Lu Li was making, "Dad, did you forget to add salt?"

Lu He had one more poached egg than Lu Hai. The yolk and protein were scattered everywhere. He took two bites and his face looked a little strange.

Lu Lizheng cleared his throat, "Whether you want to eat or not, if you don't want to cook, don't talk nonsense!"

"Ow."

The next day, Xu Mengxiao heard the sound of chopping firewood while she was still dreaming. When she put on her half-short clothes, she saw Lu Hai chopping firewood happily.

"Isn't there a lot of firewood?" She wondered for a moment.

"I, I'm not happy about it!"

Xu Mengxiao thought that if he had to stew the bones today, it would indeed cost a lot of firewood. Lu Hai hated him so much, so he definitely didn't chop it for himself.

Seeing her walking to the well, Lu Hai was secretly happy.

Most farmers only eat two meals a day, and the Lu family is no exception. Xu Mengxiao didn't think of this at first. After yesterday's instructions, she made breakfast.

I woke up early in the morning to make bone soup.

When the bones were almost stewing, there was a cry of surprise outside, "Lu He, why did you run outside?"

"Brother, you went hunting?!"

Xu Mengxiao was a little curious. When he went out, he saw prey everywhere, including wild rabbits, pheasants, bamboo rats, and roe deer. There were one, two, and three. The number was just right for the traps set by Lu He. This was The arrows are all in vain.

In addition to the well-made traps, the traps are also placed accurately, which is difficult to achieve if you are not familiar with the prey's movement route.

How could Lu He, who was in bed all day long, have these skills?

Lu He looked towards her unconsciously and saw her thoughtful expression, and the movement of wiping her hands was a beat slower.

Lu Lizheng was also stunned for a moment, but in a blink of an eye, he told Lu He to rest quickly and picked a fat rabbit, "I didn't buy any meat yesterday, so let's eat rabbit meat tonight. Girl, can you cook it?"

"How could she do it?" Lu Hai opened his mouth.

"It's okay to give it a try." Xu Mengxiao, who hadn't eaten rabbit meat for a long time, said that her saliva was already secreting.

For the remaining prey, Lu Li was asking Lu Hai to take the money to the Orion family in the next village. "We don't need to go to town ourselves. We can exchange money with him directly."

In addition to hunting for this money, hunters will also collect some prey sent by others. The price must be lower, so that they can make some difference while others have no way out, and they can also save some effort and get the best of both worlds.

Xu Mengxiao's scumbag father is the hunter of Yaoyu Village, and Lu Li would rather take advantage of the village next door than deal with him.

……

"What, twenty taels!" Boss Xu endured his stomach discomfort and heard the bad news when he came to town.

Xu Ruyi and her mother were also a little overwhelmed at the moment.

"Damn it, have we ever sold for twenty taels since we opened the business?" Su Xiuhe took a deep breath, becoming more and more troubled the more she thought about it, and the handkerchief in her hand was almost torn.

Xu Ruyi seemed calm, but her face still showed some embarrassment and anger after being made trouble.

She never expected that the Lu family would be so shameless and specially find someone to find out about her running away from the marriage and getting married instead.

"No, how would they know we opened a shop here..."

The rent for this piece of land that I had specially chosen was not cheap at all, so I knew that these poor people could not afford to live here.

Yesterday, they all came over and made a lot of noise. Xu Ruyi dared to let them stay for half a quarter of an hour longer. It did not bring her down.

Su Xiuhe's teeth itched with hatred, "I really don't have any shame at all! It's a shame you didn't get married. Such a person is too petty. He even has the nerve to take back such a small gift!"

Xu Ruyi frowned. In her opinion, since Lu He liked her so much, the gift money should have been given to her.

"Dad, is Lu He gone?" Or else Lu Lizheng could be so fussy about it?

Boss Xu gritted his teeth and looked like he wanted to hit someone, "It must be the fault of that bitch, otherwise how could the Lu family find you!"

He stood up and said, "I'll go back and take care of her right now!"

Before he finished speaking, his stomach rumbled violently, and the sound was loud.

Before the mother and daughter understood what was going on, Mr. Xu screamed strangely and rushed to the toilet with his legs crossed.

From the beginning, there is no end, so there is no time to teach Xu Mengxiao a lesson.

"Dad, what's going on?" Xu Ruyi felt something was wrong.

In this room, Xu Mengxiao served noodles cooked in bone soup to several people, sprinkled with a handful of green onions, and placed a complete soft-boiled egg on it, which was cooked until it was neither old nor tender, and then took a sip of the bone soup.

Lu Lizheng's face turned red and he decided not to cook again. He never thought it tasted so bad before.

Lu Hai also decided to buy a few more kilograms of pork bones tomorrow. It turns out that the noodles in the bone soup are so delicious!

Well, I have to continue chopping firewood.

In the afternoon, Xu Mengxiao cooked the rabbit meat into spicy rabbit heads and braised rabbit dices. They were two different ways of cooking, both with a lot of seasonings. They were spicy with a bit of sweetness, and were so delicious that they made your fingers twitch.

Lu He couldn't help but glance around the cabinet next to the stove. When he saw half a piece of yellow candy left inside, he lowered his eyes again.

"The family is running out of food, and I may not be able to do this in the future." Xu Mengxiao showed a bit of embarrassment.

You can't keep taking things out of the space endlessly. The Lu family are not fools. They will be easily exposed after a long time.

Lu Lizheng and Lu Hai quickly said: "Buy, buy whatever you need!"

After saying that, he realized the situation at home and fell silent again.

"I'll get some more prey and go to the town to have a look. It just so happens that I don't have any rice, flour and oil at home." Lu He paused, "My health is almost better. I don't need to spend money on medicine anymore."

"No!" Lu Lizheng refused without thinking, "Maybe your better health is due to taking medicine, but you can't stop."

Lu He said nothing more, but Xu Mengxiao always had the feeling that things he insisted on would not change easily.

Turning around, she saw Lu He and Lu Hai talking outside the wall, seemingly trying to persuade him.

"Uncle, I'm going to sell this medicine."

Lu Lizheng saw that she couldn't stop for a moment and was as busy as a bee. He was a little worried about her health and said, "Take it easy."

Xu Mengxiao smiled, and she really liked this elder Li Zheng from the bottom of her heart.

As she hurried over, the old medicine farmer saw her and urged: "Why are you here now? Hurry up, everyone is leaving!"

Xu Mengxiao hurriedly picked up the pace, and just before the people from the medical hall left, he sold a bag of red carpet and got another three cents.

The five coins were heavy in her hand, and she handed them to Lu Lizheng, which was also her sincerity.

"How can I ask for your money! Do you know how much you sold for the prey that Lu He killed?" Lu Lizheng said happily.
