The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

Chapter 313 Mo Wu threw himself into the river and Xiao Ruiyuan came to find him (8)

Tietou would not dislike it, let alone burn it. With red eyes, he took off his coat and put on a new soft and thick cotton coat. The new coat was also put on outside.

Not long after putting it on, my body felt warm and my frozen hands also warmed up. Tietou wiped his face and sat in front of the stove, lovingly touching the piece of cotton-padded clothes exposed from the sleeves. It was the first time for him to wear such a warm new cotton-padded clothes!

The family gathered around the table to have breakfast. When they learned that Lao Mo’s family didn’t eat breakfast and Tietou didn’t eat either, Mo Yan quickly invited him to come over and eat together.

"No, no, I, I'm not hungry!" Tietou lowered his head uneasily, but the fragrant smell of polenta and meat buns on the dinner table kept coming to his nose, and his stomach growled uncontrollably. .

Zhen'er was about to cover her mouth and chuckle, but Mo Yan glared at her.

"Brother Tietou, you have to eat even if you're not hungry, otherwise you might not be able to carry the food in the shop." Mo Yan pulled him to sit at the table with a natural expression. Li Xiu had already gone to the kitchen to serve him a large bowl. The polenta comes out.

Tietou felt uncomfortable sitting at the table. When he came, his mother told him to work hard and not be lazy just because the shop belonged to his cousin. But now I haven’t even finished the work yet, I’m wearing new cotton-padded clothes, and I have to eat, how great is that!

Seeing that he didn't move, Zhen'er on the side quickly took a pair of chopsticks and stuffed them into his right hand. He also took a big meat bun from the chopstick and stuffed it into his left hand. He said slightly arrogantly: "Eldest cousin, this is my eldest sister. The polenta and steamed buns we made are delicious! Eat it quickly, otherwise you won’t be given face if you don’t eat it.”

Tietou is a fool, thinking that if he doesn’t eat, he really doesn’t want to lose face. He quickly picked up the bun and took a bite. The buns have thin skin and plenty of fillings, and are filled with chicken soup. One bite fills your mouth with the aroma of meat.

Not to mention that Tietou has never eaten such delicious meat buns, even Li Zhong, who used to be from a good family, only ate them after coming to Mo's house.

Unconsciously, a bun went into his stomach, and Tietou felt even hungrier. Zhen'er quickly picked up two more buns for him, and pushed his bowl to signal him to eat and drink at the same time.

Mo Yan bit her bun and gave Zhen'er an appreciative look. The little guy raised his eyebrows proudly.

In a short time, Tietou ate four big buns and drank up a bowl of corn porridge. Zhen'er wanted to put a fifth bun for him, but Mo Yan stopped him with his eyes.

While eating, Mo Yan asked him about Mo Wu's situation in a subtle way. He was relieved to learn that Mo Wu could eat and sleep and was not being made trouble by Mo Hong and others. When he learned that Mr. Mo Hong was so beaten by Lao Mo that he couldn't get out of bed, he cursed in his heart that he "deserted it"!

Tietou has not had enough to eat at home for a long time, and he has no habit of eating breakfast. If he eats too much at once, his stomach will not be able to bear it.

Zhen'er didn't understand this, but he knew that as long as he listened to the eldest sister, he was right, so he took back his chopsticks.

Tietou was almost full. Although he could still eat a few more buns, he was too embarrassed to take any more.

Seeing him looking at the meat buns in the dumpling unconsciously, Mo Yan took a piece of oil paper to wrap the remaining meat buns and asked him to take them to the shop to eat.

After breakfast, Fattou Wang also came over, and Li Zhong took them to the city with the flatbed truck. With the flatbed truck, Li Zhong no longer wanted to use a carriage to go back and forth.

Time flies, and half a month has passed. The business of Mipu is getting better day by day. Although it cannot keep up with the first three days of opening, it can still sell nearly twenty taels of silver every day. However, the war at the border was tense. It was said that the Ba people sent an additional 50,000 troops to defeat Shanhai City and two surrounding cities.

In order to prevent the Ba army from going deep into the hinterland, the imperial court will send an additional 100,000 troops for reinforcements. Recently, a large amount of grain and grass are being mobilized. Many rice shops are in short supply of grain, and grain prices are also on the rise.

Just when Mo Yan was considering whether to raise the price too, so as not to arouse the suspicion of other shops, Xiao Ruiyuan suddenly came to the door...
