Chapter 320： kiss, kiss, smell

“Yuying has gone to school, and school is not over yet.”

Jiang Yunniang asked Zhang Xiaolang to come in and asked, "Have you eaten?"

Zhang Xiaolang shook his head.

Jiang Yunniang sighed, took him into the backyard kitchen, and made him a bowl of noodles with two poached eggs on top.

Zhang Xiaolang finished eating quickly and took the initiative to wash the dishes and chopsticks he ate.

Jiang Yunniang didn't say anything. Seeing that his hair was disheveled and his clothes were dirty, she picked up a comb to comb his hair and asked, "You are already five years old this year. Didn't your father let you go to school?"

Zhang Xiaolang shook his head: "Dad is sick and lies in bed all day. My aunt and sister-in-law don't like me. They told me to get out and never go back again."

Jiang Yunniang was silent for a while and said, "Then you can live here with Yuying for a while."

Zhang Jia has been in a bad situation recently. He is addicted to Wu Shi Powder and is as thin as a handful of bones. Last time she saw him at the vegetable market, sitting on the ground unable to get up.

While Jiang Yunniang hated him, she also felt a little pity for him.

So he asked a wheelbarrow pusher to take him back home, and gave the rickshaw driver ten cents for his legwork.

"Thank you, mother!" Zhang Xiaolang showed joy on his face, and ran to scoop up some water and washed his hands and face.

Then she raised her little face and asked, "Does the mother have any work for her son? The son can do everything."

Jiang Yunniang rubbed his little head and said, "There is no work today. The golden ears in the bamboo shed will grow in a few days, so you can help your second cousin pick mushrooms."

Zhang Xiaolang nodded his head: "Yeah!"

At this time, Yingbao came over and gave Zhang Xiaolang two books, two writing brushes and two ink sticks: "You have also reached the time of enlightenment. When Yuying comes back, just learn to write from him."

She also brought gifts to Yuying and Hongxiao. These two thousand-character texts and Hundred Family Surnames were both taken out from the cave, just for Zhang Xiaolang's enlightenment.

Zhang Xiaolang took the book and pen and ink, a little flattered, and quickly thanked: "Thank you, sister Yingbao."

"You're welcome. You will study hard in the future and you will be successful when you grow up."

As far as Zhang Xiaolang's family is concerned, if a boy doesn't go to school, he can only work as a peddler or do odd jobs as a clerk in other shops.

If there are no elders to support you, it will be impossible to work as a clerk in a medicine hall.

Zhang Xiaolang hugged the book tightly and nodded repeatedly: "Yes! I will definitely study hard!"

Then Yingbao went to check the mushroom shed in the yard.

The bacteria shed was built by my second cousin. There are more than 500 golden fungus plants planted in it, which are almost mature now.

But these golden ears are not growing very well, and the fungi are not very energetic either.

Perhaps because this summer is very hot, these mushrooms behave like this.

Erni ran over and said to Yingbao: "Yingbao, you don't know that Chuman also came to the county. Her parents rented a house for her in a nearby alley and asked her to have more kisses with Chen Xiucai. Sweet, I hope you can have a baby soon.”

ˆ Yingbao：······

Jiang Yunniang saw that Er Ni seemed to have no control over her mouth and said everything outside, and said angrily: "You little girl knows what kissing is, stop talking, or you will dirty your ears."

Erni didn't take it seriously and said with her eyes wide open: "It was Grandma Wang who told it to my mother. What's wrong with this? Yingbao and I used to go to the teahouse to listen to books. The stories told by Mr. Storyteller were called dirty jokes. Dirty ears."

Ying Bao looked innocent.

I screamed in my heart: You little Ni Ni, you actually betrayed me? And if the storyteller doesn’t bring some dirty jokes, who can see Tian’er squatting in a teahouse and listening to the story?

Even if they listen to them talking about ancient heroes, those who listen to books also love to listen to those passages about heroes and beauties.

Sure enough, Jiang Yunniang turned her attention to Yingbao, "Since when have you been listening to books with Ernie? There are all men in the teahouse, and you two little ladies are really ignorant of the importance of running into a place like that."

Before Yingbao had time to defend himself, Erni said: "We went there several years ago, not just the two of us, but also my second brother..."

"What? Are you still going with Erquan?" Jiang Yunniang poked Erni's forehead and said angrily: "You really dare to listen!"

Erni shrank her neck, pulled Yingbao and ran to the shop.

At noon, Hong Xiao and Zhang Yuying came back from school and saw that a large table of delicious food had been set up in the main room.

Jiang Yunniang killed two of her little roosters, and went to the braised meat shop to buy beef and pork to help Ying Bao catch the wind and wash away the dust.

Jiang Cheng also brought his wife and six- or seven-month-old son, and the family happily sat down to eat together.

Yingbao took out a silver collar from her bag, with a silver lock hanging on it, and gave it to her cousin's son as a meeting gift.

When she went out, the hostess had not yet given birth, so this was the first time she saw this fat baby.

The fat baby was held by his mother and sat at the dining table. He stared at the food on the table and drooled all over his mouth.

Let his mother scream a few times before he looked at Yingbao, showed a toothless smile, waved his little hand and slapped it on the table, and kept screaming.

 Ying Bao pinched his little face and teased him a little, then turned back to continue eating, telling everyone what he had seen outside.

Jiang Cheng suddenly said: "Ying Bao, don't wander around when you come back. These days, there are always people looking for trouble in our shop. They buy things and then return them. They also say that our prices are too high and the products are not fresh."

Yingbao ate the soy sauce beef and asked, "Is there a specialty shop opened somewhere else?"

Jiang Cheng thought for a while and said uncertainly: "It's possible, but I don't know where it will be opened."

Qiu Rong said: "I will go home and ask dad tomorrow. He will definitely know." Even if he didn't know, her dad had a lot of contacts. After a little inquiry outside, he would definitely know.

“Hey, what if someone opens a shop like ours?” Jiang Yunniang asked worriedly.

Ying Bao: "Don't worry about this. We have golden ears and snow fungus. Do they also have them?"

The business in my shop has always been booming, and there are many jealous people.

Especially for other shops, they will definitely try their best to make it look exactly the same.

But they don’t have golden ear and snow fungus. It would be very difficult to get the same kind, unless someone finds a way to purchase golden ear.

Jiang Cheng ate in silence.

"It doesn't matter even if they have fungi. We can't lower the price." Yingbao said to the cousin: "If there is no business, those pastries will not be picked up. The weather is hot now, and they will go bad if they cannot be sold for a few days. The gain outweighs the loss.”

"I know this." Jiang Cheng said: "A few days ago, I even stopped selling cakes from my father-in-law's house, just because I was afraid that they wouldn't be sold and would spoil."

Ying Bao nodded and said, "That's it. Anyway, we still have fresh fruits for sale. These things are definitely not available elsewhere."

The eldest cousin told her that the second cousin had returned to his hometown to transport melons and fruits. The lychee tree at home had produced a lot of lychees, and the longan and papaya were almost ripe. These fruits were not common in the county.

The fruits are often sold out as soon as they arrive.
