Chapter 72: Two Dogs

  See one, fight one. If you're afraid, then talk about it later. Otherwise, the aunt who sells vegetables next door might find some trouble for her, but she's not afraid of that either. The rest is just taxes collected by the government officials. As long as she pays them, what else can they do? She's just doing a small business, and she doesn't make much profit, so it's not like she's going to attract envy from others. Besides, if something unexpected really happens, she hasn't thought about holding onto this braised meat recipe for dear life, and when the time comes, she'll sell it at a suitable price...

  She never thought she would sell braised meat for her whole life. Selling braised meat was just a way to make a fortune, a stepping stone, and not her ultimate goal.

  She is more worried about the villagers than the city people. Now, a single incident has caused rumors to spread throughout the village, and she is truly helpless.

  That Tian Guihua is really good at slandering others, she got the benefit and still pretended to be clever. She couldn't bear to give up salt and sugar, but instead, she carefully shifted her hatred onto Shen Sisi's head, it's really frustrating. But that woman was also cunning, when other villagers asked her how to stir-fry chestnuts in a roundabout way, she just wouldn't say, only picking on Shen Sisi's right and wrong. She really underestimated that woman, however, it did save Shen Sisi some trouble, because the villagers all thought she was stubbornly refusing to speak, which angered Tian Guihua, but didn't know that Tian Guihua had already obtained the recipe, so no one actually came to pester her for the recipe, this saved Shen Sisi a lot of trouble. I reckon they thought that even Tian Guihua couldn't get it from that woman, and were left with nothing to do.

  Shen Si thought to herself that something didn't feel right in her mind. If they were going to sell braised meat again, there would be another commotion like this one. People are always greedy and never satisfied, and the villagers would be talking about it with their heads held high, making it really hard to deal with in the future.

  No way, she has to think of something.

  The couple had no choice but to put it aside and not mention it again.

  Lunch was still buns, porridge, salty bone soup, and braised meat.

  Four Treasures ate with a mouthful of oil, and since he had been mixed in the city, it was actually the first time he had eaten a full meal. In the past, every time he stole or robbed something, he would be chased and beaten, but now that he was in the city, many people saw him and wanted to chase and beat him. These years were really not easy to say were good.

  He looked at Shen Sisi, thinking secretly that if they ate like this every day, the family seemed to be really poor. What if one day they became even poorer? He worried and worried, afraid of being unlucky, he didn't dare say it to Shen Sisi. On the other hand, he thought that this girl was good at doing business, maybe she wouldn't become poor after all. His mind was racing with thoughts. Shen Sisi saw his expression and secretly smiled in her heart. After watching him eat until he was hiccuping, she finally told him to go peel chestnuts.

  Si Bao glared at her with a scowl, this girl really wouldn't let him rest for a moment, not even during his lunch break. But he still obediently went to peel the peanuts, not because he was intimidated by Shen Sisi's lingering aura, but because the flavor of the meat had captivated his soul. The meat truly had an aftertaste that lingered on, and it was well worth working hard for in exchange for eating such delicious meat at night.

  She thought for a moment and glanced at him, this labor reform is still quite effective. She secretly smiled.

  Just as I put down the bowl and sat down to rest and drink water, Er Gouzi and his friends came running over, standing in the yard with embarrassed faces, stuttering: "...... Tu, Tuniu, we'll give you the chestnuts, how about it?!"

  They actually roasted ordinary chestnuts yesterday, and this morning they went to the city to sell them, but those chestnuts were either overcooked or undercooked because they had no experience. As a result, the chestnuts they worked hard to produce didn't even sell one catty in the morning.
