Chapter 42 - 42: Chicken Will Lay Eggs
The new guard asked, “Then what kind of person are we looking for?”
The senior stretched his back. “A teenager. The rest are all grown men.”
Rong Yan’s expression didn’t change, but he walked closer to Ning Xiaoxiao and her brothers, who were still arguing. Xiaoxiao counted her gains today and said to Rong Yan, ‘Til make noodles tonight. Shall 1 give you a serving, too?”
Rong Yan hesitated momentarily and looked at Xiaoxiao’s emaciated but energetic appearance. He didn’t know how to answer. He didn’t expect this girl to be so persistent.
If he continued to interact with the Ning family, the debt of gratitude he had painstakingly paid off would probably become chaotic again. However, the food she cooked was too fragrant…
Xiaoxiao misunderstood his hesitation and clapped her hands. “Ah, that’s right. It’s not convenient to send noodles over. When I send them over to you, they’ll probably be lumpy. The noodles have to be distinct. Get some milky white broth, sprinkle a handful of green vegetables, drink a mouthful of soup, and slurp a mouthful of noodles. What we should eat is hot and fresh. In that case, you should come over and eat.”
Rong Yan’s mouth was more honest than his mind. He said, “Okay,” before regretting it.
He thought, “Then let’s have another meal. It’s just a meal. Soon, 1’11 find an opportunity to return the favor. It definitely won’t change the pure neighborly relationship between us.”
When they got home, the siblings instinctively looked at the kitchen first. Then, they remembered that they didn’t have anything good at home, so they couldn’t attract Second Aunt.
Madam Song was embroidering in the courtyard. Ning Fengnian had just walked around and was relaxing his limbs. Seeing that the three of them held jars and were not surprised, he guessed they would continue the sour bamboo shoots business.
Then, he saw Dalang take out a bag of pork bones and internal organs. Before he could ask, Erlang took out a bag of flour from the jar he was carrying.
Madam Song and Ning Fengnian seemed to see the copper coin they had just received fly away. Then, they saw their precious daughter take out five… chicklings from her jar.
She happily shouted at them, “Dad, Mom, let’s raise chickens!” Her excuse to fool Ning Erlang was useless. She had a targeted encouragement speech specially prepared for Madam Song. “Mom, we don’t have a pigpen, but we can still cut out a piece of land to raise chickens. If we sell the chickens at the end of the year, we might be able to subsidize the money on credit.”
It had to be said that her words made Madam Song happy. She, who originally thought that buying these chicks was a little sloppy, was the first to ask, “What should I give them to eat?”
Xiaoxiao raised her hand and replied, “Mom, I’ve asked the sellers. They’re not picky about food. They can eat all the worms and leaves of worm grass! Isn’t we having our land soon? I can bring them to peck at the vegetable seeds in the field. 1 can also bring them to the mountain for a walk when they’re a little bigger!” The meat of the pheasant was tighter and more fragrant!
“Mom, Second Brother is so smart. He let me choose a male and four females. From now on, the chicks will become chickens, the chicks will lay eggs, and the eggs will become chickens. We will have an endless supply of eggs!”
Ning Erlang snorted. “Don’t think I’m happy just because you flatter me!” Then, he smiled.
Madam Song also smiled. How could it be so easy to give birth to a chicken? However, it was rare for her daughter to be so happy. No one could bear to ruin her happiness, so they let her think freely. Needless to say, they were also filled with hope as she spoke.
“Mom, this is the 350 copper coins we earned today.”
Xiaoxiao added, “Mom, we have 880 copper coins now.. Huh, such an auspicious number! We’re going to be rich very soon!”
