Chapter 216: Eel Stewed in an Iron Pot
These days, Ji Xiaobei sorted out all the orders placed by Zheng Guo.
A meeting was held with Aunt Song, Haixia's mother, and Shugen's wife, and all the work to be done was arranged.
Aunt Song said worriedly, "Bei, be careful on the way. Last time you went, your youngest nephew was there to protect you. This time you're going with Haixia, so be more careful."
"At least Haixia knows some Kung Fu. Even though he can't compare to Xiaoyao, it's better than nothing. You must have had a hard time along the way!"
Ji Ernai said.
Several women spoke in unison and said something different.
Haixia Niang took out the new autumn clothes she had made for Ji Xiaobei, as well as a pair of new shoes.
Seeing that Haixia's mother did a good job, Ji Xiaobei couldn't help but praise her.
"Hey, if you know that our Xiaobei is going to Anzhou Prefecture, your third grandmother and I will make a pair for you!"
Ji Ernai said regretfully.
Ji Xiaobei: Grandma, I can’t afford the shoes you make. They are too fancy. If I wear them, people’s eyes will pop out.
She remembered the pair of shoes that Second and Third Nainai Ji had made for Xiaoyao.
I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Ji Lizheng came running over in a hurry.
"Bei, are you really following Haixia to Anzhou?"
Ji Xiaobei nodded and looked at the anxious Ji Lizheng in confusion.
"Bei, listen to my advice. It's very chaotic outside. Ask Shitou to take a few people with you. More people will help you look after them."
Shitou and three burly boys were standing at the entrance of the ancestral hall.
Ji Xiaobei: Is this the reinforcement that Shitou brought in because we didn’t agree to his request last night?
"Grandpa Lizheng, the safety of our village still depends on them. What if something happens?"
Ji Xiaobei quickly declined, she didn't want them to go with her.
With so many people, she has to distract herself and take care of them.
Ji Li was sitting next to Ji Xiaobei, speaking in a persuasive manner, presenting facts and reasoning with him, and he spoke until his mouth was dry and foaming at the mouth.
The second and third mistresses also joined Ji Lizheng's camp.
After all, Ji Xiaobei is their Goddess of Wealth. If anything happens to her, they will not want to live anymore.
Shitou, Fugui, Tieliang and Chazi stood upright in the yard, waiting for news from Ji Lizheng.
An hour later, Ji Lizheng lifted the door curtain, strode out with a smile on his face.
He snapped his fingers at the four young men in the yard: Done!
The four boys jumped up with joy.
Chazi couldn't help himself and went up to hug Ji Lizheng.
The three guys rushed forward and lifted Ji Lizheng up.
It was all thanks to the head of the village that they were able to go to Anzhou.
The four young men enthusiastically lifted Ji Lizheng up high.
Ji Li was so frightened that his mouth and eyes were crooked and he almost fainted.
"Little bastard, I, I'm afraid of heights, put your grandpa down..."
Ji Li was screaming heartbreakingly.
At Ji Xiaobei's angry shout, several young men finally put the old man down.
The old man was so frightened that his legs went limp.
The young men, whose blood was boiling and who didn't know how to vent their excitement, performed a set of boxing and sword dances with Ji Xiaobei in the yard, and only then did they suppress their joy.
Ji Xiaobei sat at the door with his legs crossed, clapping and cheering.
My efforts towards these kids have paid off; they have made a lot of progress this summer.
Ji Xiaobei was itching to fight, so he rolled up his sleeves and shouted that he wanted to compete with them.
Mrs. Lin, who arrived just in time, stopped them and said, "You little bastards, let's see who dares to challenge Sister Xiaobei. If anyone dares, I will chop him down with my sword!"
Mrs. Lin picked up the big knife on the ground with great effort and shouted angrily.
The boys were so scared that they ran away...
Mrs. Lin threw the knife on the ground, covered her old waist, and groaned continuously, echoing Ji Lizheng who was lying on the ground.
Ji Xiaobei: Hahahahaha…
When Mrs. Lin gets ruthless, it's really freaking impressive!
Maybe in my previous life, I really was Mrs. Lin’s daughter.
Ji Xiaobei smiled with his lips pursed.
Mrs. Lin looked at him with a sharp look: What are you laughing at! Don’t you know your own body?
However, she turned around and began to complain to Second Aunt Ji: "Second Aunt, our Xiaobei wanted to compete with those boys, and you didn't stop her. After all, she is a woman.
Really, are there any grandmothers like you? When something happens, you don’t know how to suppress it at all…”
Second and Third Nainai Ji also became frightened and kept saying that they were wrong. If Xiaobei got hurt, they would regret it so much!
The three old women were arguing with each other when they heard the sound of hurried horse hooves outside.
They looked outside and saw two men jumping off their horses.
I looked at the two men carefully. I didn't recognize them and they were not from Jijiawan.
"Who is Miss Xiaobei?" a man asked.
Ji Xiaobei took a step forward and said, "I am..."
The man took a step back and looked at Ji Xiaobei in surprise.
Ji Xiaobei asked: "Brave man, what can I do for you?"
The man was stunned again: He should call Xiaobei the warrior!
The girl Ji Xiaobei in front of me is really strong.
The man quickly came to his senses and said, "Someone brought something for Miss Xiaobei. Please accept it!"
Another man took two baskets off the horse.
There were a lot of people gathered at the entrance of the ancestral hall, all looking at the basket curiously.
"What is this?" Ji Xiaobei asked.
"I don't know either. Shangguan told me to send it to Miss Xiaobei!"
The man bowed and was about to leave.
Ji Xiaobei stopped him and said, "Please stay, you two warriors. You have come a long way. Rest for a while before you go!"
Ji Xiaobei wanted them to stay so she could see what was inside.
If it is any dangerous item, detain the person.
The two men looked at the tall woman in front of them with a sincere face, and without any courtesy, they followed her into the yard.
Ji Xiaobei asked someone to move the two baskets into the yard.
When they opened it, they saw two earthenware jars with a dozen long fish swimming inside.
"Oh my god, a fish that looks like a water snake. This is the first time I've seen one. There's no water in the river, where did the living fish come from..."
Everyone gathered around and talked at once.
Aunt Song scolded everyone and asked them to disperse, saying that the guests had not left yet and they were making fun of themselves.
Xiaoju poured tea for the two men.
Ji Xiaobei asked: "Where did the two warriors come from? Who sent these live fish?"
A man said: "Girl, this fish is from the south. It is said that this fish is extremely delicious and especially good for the body.
Shangguan asked us to send him to Jijiawan, but we, the villains, don’t know who sent him there.”
Ji Xiaobei: …
After seeing the two off, Ji Xiaobei asked Shitou to bring the two earthen jars home.
Ji Xiaobei recognized that this was an eel, which lives in rivers, lakes, ditches and rice fields. Its meat is delicious and has high nutritional value.
There was a piece of paper under the jar with some words and a picture of a fish on it. It looked like it was a recipe for cooking eel.
Ji Xiaobei didn't even look at the note, nor did he recognize it, which only added to his troubles.
She picked it up, rolled it into a ball and threw it into the donkey stable.
