Chapter 71: Who's Afraid of Whom

  When I got home, Da Bao and Si Bao had already returned from the mountain and were peeling chestnuts in the yard. He Axiu was cooking in the kitchen.

  As soon as they came back, everyone's eyes lit up. Dabao ran over and said: "Tuniu, how much money did you make today?!"

  "...... over 700 wen, but after buying some things, only more than 300 wen are left."

  Dabao looked at the things she bought and muttered, "...... Why did you buy so many things again?!" Seeing Shen Sisi staring at him, he didn't dare to speak anymore and silently carried the oil into the kitchen.

  Si saw her and turned his head away, so far, he still had a knot in his heart, thinking that this little girl was actually a tomboy, and he lost to her again. As a man, his face was really hard to bear. However, when he heard that she sold over 700 Wen, the corner of his mouth twitched. This tomboy was really good at making money. Thinking that it was just three meals a day that tied him up as labor, he felt even more unbalanced in his mind. He secretly thought that he must take revenge to make up for it. Picking chestnuts wasn't an easy task, and bringing them back from the mountain was truly exhausting.

  He Axiu saw the vegetable oil and sesame oil, as well as salt and sugar, and happily smiled, saying: "It's been ages since we've had sesame oil at home, it really smells good..."

  "From now on, when cooking soup, add a drop of this and some scallions, the flavor will be absolutely unbeatable..."

  He Axiu smiled and nodded, sesame oil was precious, people at home didn't dare to eat it casually, even mixing it with food was too luxurious, at most they would add a drop or two to the vegetable soup. This small bottle could probably last until after the New Year. He Axiu was overjoyed just smelling this aroma.

  "Tuni, I've braised the meat in your sauce, take a look at how it tastes!" He Axiu asked as she opened the lid.

  Shen Sisi poked with chopsticks, took a bite, and smiled: "It's actually rotten, but this sauce can become old sauce, but every time it's cooked, new ingredients need to be added. The flavor is not as good as yesterday's... Today I forgot to put the sauce ingredients..."

  "What's the big deal? We don't have to be so particular about food at home. There's no need to put it out every day."

  "Of course we have to add more, the more times it's simmered, the more flavorful this sauce will be. Once the chestnuts are sold out, our family can start selling braised meat..."

  "What? Selling braised meat?! " He Axiu was surprised and said: "Can it be sold?"

  "Of course... " Shen Sisi smiled and said: "Wasn't yesterday's braised pork delicious?!"

  "It's delicious, but..." He Qiu hesitated, and Zhong Gensheng came in and said: "Qiu, let's not hold back the kids. They can take care of themselves, we should be happy about it. We don't have any good ideas anyway. Since Tuni has a good idea, let's just not drag her down. If we're really busy, we'll help them out. If business is bad, then we'll just stop selling. It's no big deal..."

  "This is true," said He Axiu: "I'm not worried about these things, I'm worried that they are in the city, unfamiliar with the place, and might be bullied... it's really worrying."

  "Mom, we're not going to fight or anything. If someone really bullies us, just give in and that's it..." Shen Sisi smiled, but her thoughts remained unspoken to He Axiu.

  In the city, who can bully them? At most, it's just some street rascals. The one at home has already been intimidated by him, who else is she afraid of?!
