The bamboo tube was cool and had a slight chill.

Meng Huaishao took it and looked at it, and was surprised to find that it was filled with ice cubes, which were square, crystal clear and very cute.

He was stunned for a moment, then took the bamboo tube away and whispered.

"You are still young, you can't play on ice."

The corners of Ye Yaoyao's mouth that were raised suddenly pulled down.

"Cool, cool!"

How can she survive in such a hot summer without ice!

Looking at Meng Huaishao's serious expression, Ye Yaoyao poked her little finger in grievance, and her finger was almost poked red.

"I, I don't want to eat..."

"Just, just hold me for a while..."

As he spoke, he stole a glance at Meng Huaishao. His watery eyes and pouting mouth made him look as pitiful as could be.

"I can't do anything with you!"

The two men were in a stalemate for a long time, and Meng Huaishao was still defeated.

He sighed, took out a clean handkerchief, and carefully wrapped up the bamboo tube that he had confiscated a while ago. After making sure that his hands would not get cold, he handed it back to the baby.

"Hold it through the handkerchief, don't catch a cold. If the handkerchief gets wet or cold, tell me and I'll give you a new one."

"Yeah! Thank you, brother!"

Ye Yaoyao kept nodding her head. Although the coolness decreased, she finally agreed to use it. She was happy!

When her brother wasn't paying attention, she would secretly reach into the handkerchief and touch Bingbing.

"hey-hey!"

Meng Huaishao looked at the silly and happy baby, feeling helpless.

His principles are worthless in front of the baby.

Not long after, Meng Huaishao brought the baby to West Street.

At the corner of West Street, there was a ox cart parked, and it was the group of people led by Aunt Niu from the Niu family.

There was still half a piece of wild boar meat left on the ox cart, probably because the restaurant hadn't sold out all of it.

Aunt Niu was introducing the origin of wild boar meat to the buyers, telling them the thrilling story of the wild boar coming down the mountain, and the wonderful story of their entire village bravely fighting the wild boar.

After listening to what Meng Huaishao said, he realized that it was clearly a remake of the story of the last time the wild boar came down the mountain, which had been packaged and beautified several times and then exaggerated.

But the audience couldn't help but like it. Not only did they applaud loudly, but they also paid for the meat happily!

Next to them, one aunt was cutting the meat, another was weighing the meat, and then tying it up with straw ropes. The division of labor was clear.

There are a few more...

Meng Huaishao took a quick look and saw them blending in with the crowd, pretending to buy meat, and actively following the crowd to encourage others to buy meat...

So, they are acting as - agents?

After Meng Huaishao and Ye Yaoyao figured it out, they couldn't help but frown.

The village chief's aunt is really good at doing business.

I don’t know if the views of these kids who followed will be shattered.

But looking at them dancing happily in the crowd and enjoying themselves, it really doesn't look like they can't accept it.

Ye Yaoyao felt that these people would definitely be good businessmen when they grew up.

Apart from anything else, they have already learned the cunning tactics of unscrupulous businessmen without any guidance.

Unlike her, she only knows how to do practical things.

Ye Yaoyao praised herself a lot in her heart, her face smiling like a flower.

Pure and cute.

Seeing that their business was booming, the two of them stood far away and were not noticed, so Meng Huaishao did not go over.

In fact, eight cents per pound was extremely cheap, so it was inevitable that business would be booming.

It’s just that wild boar meat has a strong fishy smell. Ordinary people use less seasoning when cooking, and their cooking skills are not very good, so the meat is not very tasty and not very popular.

Restaurants and wealthy families have great chefs and use plenty of seasoning, so the food naturally tastes much better.

But the wild boar meat was not spoiled. Although it was a little dehydrated due to being exposed to the sun and had a strong fishy smell, it was sold at a low price, so how could it not attract people?

In particular, those who have not seen meat at home for a long time will not dislike the strong smell of wild boar meat.

It is also very good to cut a piece and take it home as a snack.

Therefore, even without "shills", their wild boar meat can be sold out.

However, the story of the "shill" in front and the villagers bravely killing the evil wild boar in the back makes people feel happy and more willing to pay.

After buying meat, you can not only talk about how you got a bargain, but also brag about the story of the villagers fighting the wild boar, adding a thrilling topic to the after-dinner conversation.

Seeing that they were busy, Meng Huaishao decided not to bring Ye Yaoyao to join in the fun.

The sun was very strong, so he took his baby and walked to a shady corner.

Adhering to the principle of "since I'm already here", Meng Huaishao went to the blacksmith shop again.

He now realized the importance of a knife. Without that handy bone-cutting knife, he might not be able to kill the herd of wild boars.

Even if it was a group of wild boars that had lost their ability to move.

As for knives, it’s better to prepare them if possible.

This time he was lucky enough to come across one that hadn't been sold, so Meng Huaishao bought it directly.

Meng Huaishao wanted to buy a bone-chopping knife, but the blacksmith said that there was a limit on ironware, and his family had already bought one, so they couldn't buy another one...

The reason he was able to buy a hatchet was because his family hadn’t bought one in the past five years.

As for the bone-cutting knife with a notch?

The blacksmith said it could be repaired, so Meng Huaishao pretended to take it out of the backpack and handed it to the blacksmith, but in fact it was Ye Yaoyao who put it in secretly.

Meng Huaishao made an appointment with the blacksmith to come back and pick it up in about two hours, then he hurriedly ran away with the baby.

The fire in the blacksmith shop was burning brightly, and the whole shop was like a big furnace.

The feeling wasn’t so obvious last time, but this time the weather was so hot that I felt like I was being roasted.

The baby was very sensible. Even though he was sweating from the heat, he didn't cry or shout. He just nestled quietly in his arms, waiting for him to finish.

After leaving the blacksmith shop, Meng Huaishao quickly found a shady place, put the baby down, fanned her with one hand and wiped her sweat with the other.

Fortunately, the palm-leaf fan was not lost at home, otherwise I would be worried now.

The palm-leaf fan in Meng Huaishao's hand was almost leaving a shadow, but the baby was still very hot.

Sweat flowed down her forehead, cheeks, and temples like water. Occasionally a few drops flowed into her eyes, irritating them and causing pain.

Ye Yaoyao blinked hard, and crystal tears mixed with sweat hung on her long eyelashes.

Looking at the tearful baby, Meng Huaishao felt so distressed that he didn't care that he was also sweating profusely.

"Guo Guo, drink some water!"

Ye Yaoyao handed the bamboo tube she had been holding to Meng Huaishao, her wet face full of smiles.

She had been holding this bamboo tube as a treasure to cool off, and was reluctant to let go for a moment. Now that she had melted some ice water in it, she took the initiative to give it away.

Meng Huaishao looked at the icy-cold bamboo tube that was pushed in front of him with surprise. He could feel the comfortable coolness if he got a little closer.

His Yaoyao is so nice!

So good that he was at a loss.

He failed to provide the baby with a good living environment, but the baby not only did not blame him, but also thought about him everywhere.

Meng Huaishao raised his head slightly and suppressed the moisture in his eyes.
