Ning Erlang loosened his grip, and Xiaoxiao ran away happily with the bag. Ning Erlang felt that something was wrong and hurriedly followed her. Then, he saw her squatting in front of a stall selling poultry, unable to look away.
The place was close to the city gate. Rong Yan, who had finished his work, saw them from afar. He brought Yun Yi forward, prepared to greet them, and returned to the village together.
Ning Erlang’s gaze followed the bag containing money his sister had accidentally snatched away. His sister looked at the fluffy chicks and ducklings in an intoxicated manner. She commented happily, “Such cute chicks!”
Yun Yi said, “In this aspect, Miss Ning is similar to other girls. She likes cute things.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard her say, “It should be braised!”
Yun Yi was speechless.
Rong Yan was speechless.
Ning Erlang, who had not noticed their approach, said angrily, “Didn’t you say you’re hungry and want to buy food? Can this be eaten? Huh?”
Xiaoxiao hugged the bag and argued, “Yes, but we must wait for them to grow up.”
“Don’t look at how young they are now. When they grow up, they’ll be treasures. Honey-flavored chicken wings, crispy chicken wings, yolk chicken wings, braised chicken drumsticks, fried chicken drumsticks, braised chicken nuggets, braised chicken nuggets, fried beans, roasted chicken… The taste is fragrant! It can even lay eggs! From now on, a bowl of steamed eggs every day won’t be a dream!”
Ning Erlang swallowed his saliva and felt that the copper coin he had just earned was in danger. He wanted to pull it back with all his might, but he feared hurting his sister. He was so anxious that he was sweating.
Xiaoxiao started to trick him again. “Second Brother, think about it. One chick is eight copper coins, and five are forty copper coins. In the future, we just need to raise them at home and find some free worms, vegetables, and leaves for them to eat. They will grow into chickens worth more than twenty copper coins per catty! They will even lay eggs for us every day. An egg is one copper coin. As long as they lay eggs for eight days in a row, we will get back the capital. The rest of the eggs and the meat we ate to kill the chicken are equivalent to free!”
She said in an exaggerated tone, “There’s such a good deal in the world. We can’t miss it!”
Rong Yan couldn’t help but laugh aloud while Yun Yi looked surprisingly at his master as if it was his first day knowing him. Rong Yan used to only know how to put on a fake smile.
Ning Erlang felt embarrassed and let go of his hand. Xiaoxiao immediately took the opportunity to pay the bill. Then, she looked at her second brother, who was speechless, and said, “It’s done. Second Brother, just obey.”
Ning Erlang felt very defeated. He looked at Ning Dalang, who had done nothing and was even helping the evildoer. “Brother, aren’t you going to do anything?”
Ning Dalang coughed lightly to hide his smile. “Yes, we have to manage her.” Then, he bent down and squatted beside his sister. “Sister, you don’t know how to choose. We have to choose five healthier chicks.”
Ning Erlang snorted coldly. “How can you just let her be!” However, he also squatted at the side, slapped Xiaoxiao’s hand away, and began to choose the healthier chicks. “That just looks fat, but it doesn’t have any strength. Look at this one. Its eyes are burning. It’ll be fierce when it’s growing up. No one can carry it away casually.”
Xiaoxiao probed, “Then why don’t we raise another goose?” She received a glare from Ning Erlang after saying that. She could only pout. “Alright, if you don’t want to buy it, don’t. We can buy it next time.”
“What a waste of my delicious food. I suppose 1 should cook a delicious stewed goose.”
The last sentence was said in a low voice, but even Rong Yan, standing beside her, heard it. Ning Dalang did not mind her words. However, Ning Erlang rolled his eyes.
Seeing that it was about time, everyone returned to the village together. The senior pulled the new guard away from the city gate when he wanted to investigate carefully. “Alright, there’s no need to waste time. They’re together. The person we’re looking for isn’t this type..”
