Chapter 41 Intention
Tang Zheng opened the lid with wide eyes and quickly opened the lid. He happened to meet the chicken. I don’t know if it was his illusion, but the chicken seemed to roll his eyes at him.
"This...where did these things come from?" Tang Zheng was so scared that he couldn't speak easily. At this moment, he suspected that Tang Ning had gone to rob the house.
Tang Ning said calmly: "Of course I saved my money. Of course, I was not so stupid as to use all my money. After entering the city, I reselled some things first, made a little money before buying meat. Although it took a lot of effort, I spent not much copper coins at all."
As he said that, Tang Ning used to turn out the things in the backpack, and said to Jiang: "Mom, let's make these bones into soup later, and then put some food in it. You can dip some meat and fish. Please see the arrangements for other meat and eggs. Why don't the chicken be slaughtered directly?"
When Jiang heard this, he shook his head repeatedly, "Even if the bones and meat are gone, the chickens cannot be slaughtered. Besides, there is no water here, and even cleaning is a problem."
"Then we can't raise it, we don't have any extra food!" Tang Ning was in trouble. He would have not bought chickens if he had known.
When Tang Zhong and Nizi saw the chicken, their eyes were already shining and they kept saying, "It doesn't matter if there is no water, let's eat roasted chicken!"
Jiang slapped him over and cursed with a smile: "If you can, you can eat roast chicken! Don't harm anything."
After saying that, the child Jiang was also worried.
Du Chunyue, who didn't say much, said weakly: "Aunt, Tang Ning said you plan to go to Jiangnan. The one I led was also to Jiangnan. We are now heading east. The farthest place my grandfather had been to when he was collecting herbs before was the mountains near Liangzhou on the border of Ganzhou.
Grandpa said that there were all mountains and mountains, and the side close to Ganzhou was short of water, but the other side was evergreen, with streams and valleys everywhere, and there were many wild game, but there were many beasts."
"Is this true? We will have endless water?" Tang Zhong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he wished he could arrive there immediately.
Everyone was fascinated by hearing this, and their minds were all about streams, rivers and valleys. No matter how many beasts were, they said that there were many mountains in the town where beasts lived, even big bugs, and wild boars were even more common.
Tang Ning immediately poured a basin of cold water on them, "Don't forget that we haven't even reached Suzhou Prefecture. According to our current course, it will take at least ten days and half a month to get there.
Besides, you will sooner or later you will see rivers and lakes when you go east. I wish you could be so excited every day!”
After saying that, Tang Ning said to Jiang without waiting for everyone to speak: "Mom, slaughter the chicken directly. If you don't work, use a tank of water. Everyone eat some good things to replenish and take a break. In the evening, we will eat something to make our stomachs. It's better to go on a hurry to wait for the next supply place. I will go to get water with Chunyue."
Jiang had no opinion at all, and they all did it according to Tang Ning's wishes.
Wei Dazhi's family seemed a little embarrassed. They bought all the things by Tang Ning, and they didn't want to join in the fun. Tang Ning soon discovered this problem and said to Wei Dazhi and Li: "Uncle Wei, Aunt Wei, we will share the joys and sorrows for so long, so we won't need to eat together. Let's eat together. If you have delicious food later, remember to score a little."
The four members of the Wei family did not expect that Tang Ning was so arrogant and didn't know what to say for a moment.
However, Tang Junsheng also came over and persuaded him a few times. Wei Dazhi came to his senses, gave Tang Ning a thumbs up, and praised him: "You girl is really getting more and more amazing. As a result, uncle won't be pretentious with you. Next time we will treat you to meat!"
"Okay!" Tang Ning responded readily, and then took Du Chunyue to Tang Rou's side.
Nizi was in good spirits today, and immediately called someone sweetly when she saw Tang Ning.
Tang Ning always liked this little girl very much. She touched her head and said, "This is your Aunt Chunyue. Your Aunt Chunyue is very powerful. She knows many herbs and will scream when she meets someone in the future. Do you know?"
Nizi hurriedly focused her attention.
"Be good!" Tang Ning took out a ripe wild persimmon and stuffed it into Nizi's arms. He squinted his eyes and smiled: "Eat slowly, be obedient, and my aunt will give you good things."
Nizi performed more positively.
Tang Rou wanted to speak but stopped several times, but ultimately did not ask in front of Du Chunyue.
However, Tang Ning suddenly looked at Du Chunyue and asked curiously: "I have known you for a few days. Apart from knowing the general situation of your family and your name, I know nothing about everything. I'll take the liberty to ask the girl's age?"
Tang Ning's appearance made Du Chunyue look at her angrily, and then said, "I'm fourteen this year."
"Hiss!" Tang Ning took a breath of air conditioning and said in disbelief: "You are actually older than me! Is there any reason for it?"
The two stood together, Du Chunyue was shorter than Tang Ning. Tang Ning always thought Du Chunyue was younger than her, and she thought she was just as big as Tang Zhong, but she didn't expect...
Du Chunyue was also depressed, "You are actually younger than me! I have always regarded you as a sister. If I knew you were younger than me, I would probably not have followed you so easily."
"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed loudly when they heard this. Maybe they had meat to eat soon. Everyone actually wiped out the haze of the past and their emotions rose a lot.
Tang Ning hugged Du Chunyue's shoulder and said generously: "It's okay, I don't mind being my sister!"
"I mind." Du Chunyue's expression became more and more depressed, but fortunately she just cooperated with Tang Ning's performance. "Okay, I won't tell you, I'll go and help my aunt cook."
At this moment, several men have already set up two large pots on two bonfires, one brought by Tang Ning's family and the other from Wei's family.
One bite is used to make bone soup and the other bite is used to make chicken soup. The bone soup needs to be boiled for a while before it tastes good. Jiang planned to use bone soup to cook porridge with steamed buns at night.
At noon, everyone drank chicken soup and ate chicken, which was considered a meal, and it was also a simple ceremony to welcome Du Chunyue.
While everyone was cooking, Tang Ning slowly lay on the donkey cart and looked at the cloudless sky through the shade of the tree. He was dazed for a while before saying to Jiang Shi: "Mom, take an egg and use chicken soup to make an egg custard for Nizi and Axi. Children are young, so eating some good food will not easily get sick."
"I'll listen to you." Jiang laughed. Now she was out of sight. She was ready to die in a foreign land at any time since she left her hometown. However, she could die, but her children had to live well. In order to make the children self-reliant, she did not plan to make decisions for them anymore, just follow their instructions.
