In the big yard at the west end of the village, most of the men went to work in the fields, so the whole yard was quiet.

Several naughty boys were catching dates around the jujube tree in the yard. They also held long poles, some simply climbed up the tree, and some were greedy and squatted on the ground to pick up food.

A middle-aged gentleman passed by the children with a food box. The boy with a pointed nose said, "I smell the egg custard!"

Another shrugged his nose: "There is also the smell of peach crispy!"

“Where does the peach crisp taste like this?”

"The peach crisps that just made it smelled like a scent!"

A few boys have been thriving in the past two days. Yesterday I ate meat and chicken today. I ate big white flour buns and my stomach was round, but now I smell the fragrance of desserts after meals.

A older boy looked at the gentleman's back as he walked away: "This person is specialized in food, he will surely get something delicious."

"He sent it to the thin old man!" Someone always knew more and grabbed the mud-covered cheeks, "They were in charge of the helm."

"Monkey, do you still have the rice dumpling candy from yesterday? Give me another taste!" asked him with a greed.

The monkey said, "Those few candies are not enough for me to eat. I thought I would ask them for some more, but I didn't know that the road to the east end of the village was blocked. Several big men kept the door!"

The older boy said, "Those little ladies can go anywhere. Today I saw them heading to the market in carriages!"

The monkey teased: "You didn't see the big man following behind you. Wherever they went, the big man would follow."

"What are they trying to do?" The boys thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so they continued to pick up dates.

At this moment, the thin old man they were talking about was sitting in front of the window watching the chess score. The sunset in the west hit the green window paper, as if you could see the shadows of the trees outside.

The door opened, and Mr. Zhou, carrying the food box, walked in: "Master, you don't eat much at noon. Please use some egg custard now."

Tong Shan remained silent for a long time, staring at the chessboard: "Has this taken the wrong step?"

Mr. Zhou didn't know whether Mr. Tong was talking about playing chess or something else, so he didn't say anything and just put the food box next to the mountain-born table.

"I heard that the price of steamed buns sold at the east end of the village has increased. One steamed bun costs two cents, and 30 cents is only enough to buy 15 steamed buns. It's a bit difficult to spend three days." The mountain chief said to himself.

Mr. Zhou didn't know how to answer the conversation and whispered: "It was raining again last night to this morning, and most students were unable to go to the market."

"It's raining... can those villages withstand the heavy rain last night?"

Mr. Zhou was stunned. This was the first time that the mountain captain asked about the students after coming to Dawangzhuang: "Most of them are fine. There is an old yard that is an old house. It is said that it is leaking. People have already repaired it before the afternoon."

Tong Shanchang frowned, the house was leaking? I thought everything had been arranged before, but I still made such a mistake.

"Don't worry, the students will observe them at any time, and once they find the problem, they will definitely be solved in time."

The mountain leader looked at the chess game in front of him: "Safety is the first priority."

"This mountain chief just rest assured, with the people from the martial arts hall and the escort agency at any time, and the people in Tianshui Town are simple and will not miss their children." Mr. Zhou patted his chest and promised.

When Tong Shanchang saw the egg custard brought by Mr. Zhou, he fell into deep thought again. He didn't know what the spoiled female students had eaten today, whether they were eating snacks brought by luck, or the steamed buns bought from the village.

Suddenly, Tang Xiaoxiao was eating Maple Leaf Bridge snacks. Although she didn't eat them voraciously, she ate very quickly. I thought she was very hungry at that time.

Just as I was thinking about it, a sound suddenly exploded in the air

"There is meat to eat in courtyard No. 16!!!"

What? What is the meat to eat? What sound is that just now?

Where did the bell-like sound come from?

Is it an illusion or...

"There are big meats to eat in courtyard No. 16"

As if to prove that this is not an illusion, the fierce voice like thunder sounded again, and there was a long echo.

Mr. Zhou subconsciously looked up at the roof, and walked out of the door with a confused look on his face and looked outside. He really couldn't think of how the mysterious sound came.

But Chief Tong Shanshan showed a long-lost smile: "Beach No. 16, interesting."

...

Cooked food is much more profitable than fried steamed buns. A pair of live pigs is 20 cents per catty. After cooking, it can be sold for an average of 65 cents per catty! The girls don’t bother. Some people buy one or two taels of ounces, and they all cut them quickly. The price is relatively expensive, which costs about 7 cents per tael.

There are no rich people among the female students. Most of them just buy a few taels of pork liver and a piece of heart-wrenching flesh, which is very satisfying.

Nijie left a braised pig ear for Ruicai, and the other one was given to Ma Ma, asking her to cut two plates to drink with other women.

By the hour of You, the black plaques had been completely dried. Xiaoxiao took the large brush he bought when he was in the market, dipped it in emerald green lacquer, and wrote big words on the plaques: Xieying Canteen, Xieying Clinic, Xieying Academy.

Only the pawnshop plaque was made of vermilion paint, and the black background and red letters were very eye-catching: if you want to use it, you can use it as a pawnshop, and if you need it, you can use it as a flower.

The plaque of "Xieying Academy" was sent by Ni Jie and Youqing.

"Xieying Clinic" was sent by Xiaoxiao and Xizi, who was called thanking Senior Sister Lu for giving acupuncture to Xizi today.

The plaque is not thick and the weight is not heavy. Two girls can lift it. When they walk into the yard of Senior Sister Lu, they realize how famous the clinic is in this village. The patients actually lined up in a long queue, and the last few even lined up at the gate.

Several patients saw Xiaoxiao and were about to go in, but they looked unhappy: "We have been waiting for several hours! You girls also have to tell me that you will come first and then arrive, and go backwards!"

The two girls smiled and said, "We are here to deliver a plaque to Mr. Lu. If this plaque is hung, the sign of the clinic will be eye-catching."

The patient who was complaining about his heart just now turned around and changed his smile: "This is good, this is good! I should have been hung up long ago! I rushed over from Xiao Wangzhuang at noon and searched for several times in the village before I found this place!"

Another female patient also said: "Mr. Lu has cured many people, but we didn't expect to give him a plaque. You are so thoughtful."

At this time, someone had already come out of the yard. It was not Lu Juanjing, but another senior sister. She was a little surprised when she saw Xiaoxiao and Xizi carrying the plaque.

Xizi stepped forward and smiled, "I am very grateful to Senior Sister Lu for saving me today. The magic medicine I gave was also confiscated from my money. I was really sorry, but I didn't have anything to repay. The sisters in the yard made a conclusion and simply made a plaque for Senior Sister."

The senior sister looked at the plaque, her brows stretched and she smiled.

Xiaoxiao said again: "The rough plaque is a bad word, please accept it with a smile."

Other patients said one after another: "Please accept it quickly! This is the patient's wish! If you hang a plaque in the future, you will not worry about not being able to find a place!"

The senior sister also helped lift the plaque: "Please come in first, two senior sisters."

Xiaoxiao was carrying the plaque behind her, and it was indeed a little difficult to carry. Because she had a small basket on her right hand, her wrist was as painful as if it was a tendon.

"What does it smell so fragrant? It seems to be the smell of meat." Several patients had quite a sharp nose.

Several girls put the plaque in the yard and then gave the basket in their hands to the senior sister: "There is nothing good. We just cooked some meat and picked up two pieces of meat in the best place for the senior sisters to try. It would be enough to add two meat dishes tonight."

When the senior sister heard this, her eyes lit up: "Sisters are so polite. Are you still good at cooking meat? We don't even know how to make a fire. These meals are all the meals that the landlord wife cooks for us."

When several patients heard the words "the landlord's wife" laughed.

One of the patients asked Xiaoxiao: "Miss, are you from Courtyard No. 16?"

"How did the uncle know?" Although Xiaoxiao and the others were not courtyard No. 16, they did have meat stalls in front of courtyard No. 16.

Several patients laughed: "That voice just now can be heard in Tianshui Town! You said there is meat in your yard."

When Xiaoxiao heard this, she lifted the flower cloth covered in the basket and opened the upside down large bowl. There were two large pieces of square meat in the big bowl below, which were standard three-line pork belly. When the basket moved, the square meat was trembling and extremely attractive.

"This meat is stewed well and it is also stewed so it must be delicious!" A patient couldn't help but swallow.

"The taste of this braised soup is good, and I can smell it from afar. I am so greedy!" Another patient stared at the meat and said.

Xiaoxiao: Are you really here for consultation? How can the patients’ appetite be like this... Are you sure you are not queuing up to acupuncture and lose weight?

"Do you have fat intestines?"

"Do you have a pig's face?"

"Do you have pig's trotters?"

Xiaoxiao: "..., there are all! There are everything! Courtyard No. 16 is very close. You can walk more than fifty steps eastward when you go out, and turn north and you will see it!"

A fat uncle immediately walked out of the team: "Xiao Ni'er, take me there. If it's too late, the heart-protecting flesh will be sold out!"

Other patients burst into laughter, and someone patted the fat uncle's arm and said, "Pan Laoliu, you are so short of meat? Aren't you here to see a doctor? I think you are suffering from greed!"

Pan Laoliu scratched his head: "My back has been hurting for almost thirty years. It hurts when it rains, and it is not on this day when the doctor is treated! The heart-protecting flesh is not waiting for anyone, and it will be gone if it is too late!"

Amid the laughter of everyone, Xiaoxiao took Pan Laoliu to the No. 16 courtyard to buy meat.
Chapter completed!
