In fact, just adding a little lard when frying wild vegetables makes them very fragrant.

"oh oh!"

Fang Ling was picking up the rice with chopsticks and snoring, but his eyes were fixed on the bowl.

"If it's delicious, eat more." Next to her, Fang Rui smiled and gave her a large set of chopsticks.

In the end, the three of them ate half a bowl of fried wild vegetables.

Even the slight oil stains on the vegetable bowls were wiped over and over again by Fang Xue with sorghum flour pancakes, until finally, they looked clean and shiny.

There is almost no need to wash the dishes.

…

morning.

Fang's fried soybeans, the alluring aroma wafts far away.

"Brother!" Fang Ling breathed in the fragrance in the air and ran in quickly.

Outside the door, there were three or five children, staring eagerly and swallowing their saliva. Among them, the daughter of Sanniangzi's family was also there.

"Here, take it and eat it slowly." Fang Rui grabbed some for Fang Ling and stuffed it into her pocket.

"Thank you, brother!" Fang Ling jumped happily and couldn't wait to put one in his mouth.

Boom!

When you bite into a piece of fried soybean, the mellow aroma explodes on your taste buds, making the little girl's big eyes curl into crescents.

Gudong!

Outside the door, there was a sound of saliva and swallowing.

Fang Rui was not stingy with the neighbor children outside, and waved: "Come here!"

"Tie Zi, you have five."

"The hill is yours."

"Ah Huai, eat."

"Nanny, be good."

…

It's not that Fang Rui couldn't bear to give up more, it's that these days there is a shortage of supplies and there is a drought. Three or five fried soybeans are already considered generous, but more will be called "silly generous" behind his back.

Only the third wife's daughter, Fang Rui secretly took a handful of them.

"Don't tell others." He whispered.

"Thank you, Brother Ari!"

Nannan blinked her eyes, jumped up and down, and went to play with the other children.

"Brother Rui, as a courtesy, can you bring some to San Yatou's family?" Fang Xue said to Fang Rui as she took out the fried soybeans.

"Okay, I'll take it to Third Sister."

Fang Rui went to Sanniangzi's house with a small bowl of soybeans.

"Third sister, let me bring you some fried soybeans."

"This is good stuff."

"It's not much, just have a taste. Third sister, don't be too little."

"Brother Rui!"

The third lady rolled her eyes at Fang Rui and said with a charming expression, "You're trying to block me with what I said yesterday, right?"

"How dare you?" Fang Rui took the bowl back, smiled and was about to go back.

"Wait."

The third lady called Fang Rui and took out a pair of new cloth shoes from the house: "Here are these shoes for you, Brother Rui, try them out."

There was a faint aroma on it. Fang Rui took it but didn't really try it.

He is a man, and he is not as particular as his daughter's family. He can't easily have his feet looked at, and he doesn't have athlete's foot or anything like that...but taking off his shoes in front of a woman is always a bit awkward and uncomfortable.

"Third sister, it looks suitable. I don't need to try it. It must be suitable for me. Thank you."

"Why does something sound wrong?"

The third lady leaned against the door and watched her farewell. She was startled for a moment, then suddenly realized: "This boy...how dares to tease me!"

With her angry smile, the snow surged, like the waves, and like the fruits blooming in midsummer, full of fragrance and mouth-watering.

It's a pity that no one can see it.

…

In the afternoon, the Fang family has the habit of taking a nap.

Fang Ling sometimes sleeps with Fang Xue, and sometimes comes over to sleep with Fang Rui.

On the bed, Fang Ling was lying on his side, holding a fried soybean in his hand, grinding it little by little with his teeth, and just smacking the taste. One can last for a long time.

While eating, the little girl fell asleep.

Next to him, Fang Rui felt something tingling on the bed. He stretched out his hand and grabbed it. There were three or two fried soybeans that slipped out of Fang Ling's pocket. He couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

Through the crack in the door, you can see Mrs. Fang Xue sewing clothes at the door in the main room.

Outside the window, there were cicadas and unknown insects, screaming one after another at the top of their lungs.

Summer is long.

The chaos and sins of this world are all blocked out. Time, in this kind of sun, seems to be stretched and become soft.

Fang Rui squinted his eyes and his heart calmed down.

…

Time flies by like a white horse, slipping quickly through the fingers.

More than half a month passed in a hurry.

In the county town, food prices are still rising, and Cao Zhitang's business has not improved.

——The world is unstable and it is difficult to live. Where can we get the money for medical treatment? For most people, they would rather live a tough life.

Fang Rui is the owner of Cao Zhitang, and he is polite to everyone he meets with his neighbors. On the surface, he is polite, but in fact, he keeps a distance.

Only Sanniangzi's house, where I go and sit sometimes, has a good relationship.

The Third Lady wanted to sell her family ties; Fang Rui wanted to make friends with the Third Lady and get information. The two of them hit it off and became much closer than before.

Fang Rui also learned from Sanniangzi that the county's reserve troops had been dispatched, but the specific situation outside the city was unknown.

Darkly.

Fang Rui used the money he saved at home to buy food from the black market like ants moving, and he never 'fished' again.

A little unlucky thing is: when he went to the black market, basically three times out of five times, he met the tall and thin man selling secrets. It seemed that the other person was also a frequent visitor to the black market.

Other than that, everything was peaceful in the Fang family, and nothing major happened.

In fact, that's right. Just like in a novel, things happen one after another and conflicts emerge one after another. This is to promote the development of the plot.

In reality, for the people at the bottom, if they are honest and responsible, they will encounter two or three major disasters in their lifetime, which is a big deal.

Of course, their ability to resist risks is weak. If they encounter a catastrophic disaster, they will be severely injured or even destroyed.

but.

Today is not a time of peace, the world is about to be in chaos, and the probability of encountering chaos is indeed higher than in the past.

The only bad thing is: Cao Zhitang cannot make ends meet, plus going to the black market to buy food, the Fang family doesn't have much money anymore, only some emergency money left.

That money must not be touched.

Want to continue saving food?

Just have to think of other ways.

…

This morning.

Mrs. Fang Xue was sewing clothes in the back room, and Fang Ling was helping twist the twine.

outhouse.

Fang Rui was dialing the abacus behind the counter.

Just then, two uninvited guests arrived.

…
Chapter completed!
