The first step to a rich country is to get rich first and then get richer

"They used to throw these things away, no one would buy them. Now they are very happy when you buy them, and they say they will keep them for you in the future."

Lan Ning took the thirty cents handed over by Grandma Lan and turned around to give it to Chen Tian.

"That's great, but I'm afraid it's not enough. Uncle Chen, please keep all the pig ears, pig trotters, pig offal, and pig tails that you sell for me."

Chen Tian took the copper coin and put it into his purse.

"Girl Lan, why does your secret recipe require all these leftovers that no one wants to eat?"

"Because only these scraps are delicious, and there are many delicious recipes that can only be made with these scraps."

Lan Ning's face was full of pride.

Her cooking skills are amazing, and many dishes that others can't even taste good become mouth-wateringly delicious when cooked by her.

Seeing the little girl like this, Chen Tian couldn't help laughing out loud.

"It seems your grandmother's cooking skills are very good, Auntie. I must try your cooking skills one day."

"Hey, hey, okay."

Grandma Lan is still not used to people talking to her proactively. She is reserved and cautious. This fear has been ingrained in her bones over the past four years.

After leaving a large bag of things on the table where Chen Tian was selling pork, Lan Ning and his companions took their things and left.

After they had walked a long way away and Chen Tian had almost packed his things, he saw the big bag on the table.

"what is this?"

When I opened it, I saw it was a big bag of braised food, including chicken feet, chicken wings, pig offal and pig's feet.

"Hahaha, this little girl."

After bringing the big bag of food home, the three little boys and two little girls in Chen Tian's family squinted their eyes while eating. They became very curious about the little sister that their father had mentioned, and they didn't give in until their mother agreed to take them to their father's stall to see the little sister tomorrow.

Lan Ning and the others also went to the street to buy some household items and twenty meat buns before heading out of the city gate. However, they had not walked far when they felt a weight lifted off their backs.

In broad daylight, in the open, there is a thief.

This was Lan Ning's first reaction. He turned around and saw the person who took his things.

Why is he here?

This was her second reaction.

"Sister Li, why haven't you come to our place for a long time?"

"Brother Mu, because my grandma is now well."

"Sister Lan, who is he? Why would he call you Sister Li?"

Bai Tian came over and asked Lan Ning in a low voice.

"He is the brother of the pharmacy. I got my medicine from him before."

When Grandma Lan heard that it was the boy from the pharmacy, she immediately overcame her fear and took the initiative to walk forward.

"Young man, thank you for buying medicine for my granddaughter at such a low price. My wife and my other granddaughter have recovered and no longer need to pick up medicine."

"Ah~ I see. No wonder Sister Li hasn't come for a long time."

Mu Zhongting lowered his head somewhat disappointedly.

[Will I never see Sister Li again? ]

Lan Ning felt a little bit sorry for him when he saw him like this. It was all because his business was so bad that he could only take advantage of him.

"Brother, if anyone needs medical treatment or medicine in the future, I will recommend them to your place. Your pharmacy business will definitely improve."

Lan Ning just thought that Mu Zhongting was always looking forward to her going to their pharmacy because his own pharmacy was not doing well.

But Mu Zhongting was thinking that he would not see such a lovely little sister often in the future, and he could only blame his mother for not giving him the sister he longed for.

"Then I'll take you to the city gate."

Mu Zhongting was in a bad mood all the way, and he didn't feel happy until he saw Lan Ning and the others out of the city gate.

When he returned to the pharmacy, his grandfather said, "You can go see her," and his mood turned from gloomy to bright.

Yes, I know where Sister Li lives.

"Grandpa, I'll help you pick up the medicine."

"You unfilial descendants are ruining my medicine again."

When you get home, pour the marinade into the pot. When you stew it later, just add some salt. There is no need to boil the marinade again. After all, the old marinade is more fragrant.

With the marinade, Grandma Lan no longer has to worry about how much seasoning will be used, so today's preparation is no longer just the work of Lan Ning and Meng Anran.

With the addition of Grandma Lan and Bai Tian, ​​they worked much faster today, but they were still busy until the evening.

The boiler was occupied at noon, so they heated up the buns they bought in the morning and ate them.

Grandma Lan and Meng Anran were so distressed by the food. Buns were something they could never even dream of eating before, but now they can eat them almost every day. How expensive must they be?

There were no buns to heat up and eat in the evening. There was really no other choice. The family still needed to eat, so we simply built a simple stove with stones in the yard.

"We should build another stove when we have money."

Lan Ning took a big mouthful of porridge, filling his little mouth.

Speaking of building a stove, a few people remembered that they had not yet counted the money they earned today.

Three little faces turned to look at Grandma Lan, including a wolf who took the time to look up at Grandma Lan while trying to eat.

"Shhh."

I was afraid the three kids would ask out loud.

"Walls have ears. Be careful not to be overheard by others. I put it in the house when I came back today. When it gets dark, come to my room."

Grandma Lan leaned her head closer to the dining table and spoke almost in a whisper.

Several little guys nodded quickly to indicate that they understood.

When it was completely dark, there was no time to wash the dishes. Everyone picked up a bowl and hurriedly put it into the kitchen, then they all swarmed into Grandma Lan's room.

"Wait, oil lamp, bring the oil lamp, otherwise how can we see?"

"Oh oh, I'll get it."

Although he was not tall during the day, he ran very fast, and soon he entered the house with the oil lamp in his hand.

The oil lamp was lit, and the dark room suddenly became brighter.

Grandma Lan took out the things she had hidden from under the quilt.

They had no purses, so they used a piece of rag to hold the silver. The rag was bulging, and it seemed that there were quite a few copper coins inside.

There was no table, so several people sat together on the bed, leaving a space in the middle where the copper coins would be poured to prevent them from falling to the ground.

"Crash".

The coins clashed and fell into a heap on the bed.

It was divided into 4 portions, with each person getting a small portion. But before they started counting, Meng Anran pushed her portion back.

"I don't know how to count. You count it."

She lowered her head awkwardly.

"It's okay, we'll teach you then."

The tone during the day doesn't matter.

Seeing that they had no prejudice against him because of his ignorance of numbers, Meng Anran's embarrassment disappeared a lot.

"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,..."

The sound of counting echoed quietly in the room, and no one raised their voices for fear of being heard by others.

"One hundred and twenty-seven."

"Ninety-nine."

"One hundred and fifteen."

"127+99+115, wait, let me calculate..."

While Lan Ning was flipping his little fingers and calculating in his mind, Bai Tian had already told him the answer.

"341 Wen."
