Xu Damao took a day off, took a trip around the countryside, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When we came back, we were much faster.

As soon as I returned to Nanluoguxiang, I happened to meet Sha Zhu, who was riding a bicycle and taking Ran Qiuye home from get off work.

When the two met, they naturally didn't look happy.

"Sun thief, are you fooling around in the countryside again?"

Xu Damao's face was dark, but he didn't dare to argue with him. If other people heard it, especially Widow Meng and her daughter, there would be unrest in the family tonight.

Seeing that he didn't reply and just walked straight through the door, Sha Zhu felt a little uncomfortable.

Ran Qiuye reached out and pinched Sha Zhu's waist.

"Don't say such nonsense. If it gets out, Xu Damao's family will make a scene and say that you said it. What will you do?"

Sha Zhu refused to submit to anyone except Ran Qiuye, and nodded with a wry smile.

"This Xu Damao is weird. If I had exposed him like this before, he would have been so angry that he would have jumped up and down. But today he didn't refute it."

Ran Qiuye stared at him and said, "That's maturity."

"Look at you, you're still fighting with him like a child."

Sha Zhu touched his face and said, "My wife is right. I can lose to anyone but Xu Damao. From today on, I will not fight with him anymore."

"That's what you said."

"I said!"

Sha Zhu said arrogantly: "Ten donkeys can't pull back what a man says."

Ran Qiuye almost laughed out loud.

"That's called a gentleman's word is as good as his bond, not ten donkeys. Donkeys are stubborn!"

Chen Feng fed the pheasants he caught in the kitchen with rice grown in the space, and took out the eggs at the same time.

Chen Li was happily walking out with two small pheasant eggs in each hand, preparing to present the treasure to Zhang Haixing.

Sha Zhu was passing by the door and saw Chen Li jumping out. He asked curiously, "Little Lili, what are you holding in your hand?"

Chen Li was so scared that she ran back to the kitchen.

"Cauldron, cauldron, here comes the pillar, he wants to steal my eggs."

Chen Li hid behind Chen Feng, holding four eggs in her hands tightly.

"Little Lily, don't talk nonsense. How could I steal your eggs?"

Sha Zhu remembered that he had run out of tofu at home, so he planned to come to Chen's house to borrow some. He gave the bicycle to Ran Qiuye to take home, and came in specifically to ask.

When I came in, I saw the chicken coop in the kitchen. With a quick glance, I saw two eggs on the table.

Six eggs a day!

If this were sold on the black market, it would cost at least six dollars.

After the Spring Festival, there was virtually no supply of eggs on the market. Unless there were pregnant women in the hospital for delivery or sick and weak people, ordinary people could not eat eggs at all.

This caused the price of eggs to skyrocket more than ten times on the black market.

"Don't be afraid, he won't dare to rob you as long as I'm here."

"···"

It seems like you are spreading rumors!

Sha Zhu was worried that Chen Li would be reluctant to give up her tofu if she was still here, so he said, "Go quickly, or I'll take your eggs."

"No, I want to watch our eggs." Chen Li opened her mouth and showed her teeth: "If you dare to grab them, I will bite you to death."

Sha Zhu looked at the little girl who was very protective of her food and had no choice but to take out a penny.

"I'll give you money and not steal your eggs. You can go out and play, okay?"

Chen Li thought for a long time, put the egg into her pocket, and then put the two on the table in there, only then did she feel relieved.

Reach out your little hand to Shazhu.

"Give me some small change!"

"You cunning little girl." Sha Zhu put a penny in her palm.

Chen Li immediately ran out with the money.

"What do you want? Why do you want to trick Lily away?"

Chen Feng glanced at the door and his little head shrank back instantly.

Sha Zhu said embarrassedly: "Didn't you say that eating tofu is good for pregnant women? We have run out of tofu at home, so I came here to ask if you have any extra."

"The little girl values ​​her own things more than herself."

"If I ask her to borrow tofu, she will be angry with me."

Chen Feng smiled. Chen Li indeed attached great importance to food.

He walked to the kitchen cabinet and actually extracted ten kilograms of soybeans from the space and put them into a small bag.

Ten kilograms of soybeans can produce 30-60 kilograms of tofu. The specific output depends on the individual craftsmanship.

"We don't have much tofu left at home. These days, we're cooking pickled cabbage, tofu and fish. Chen Hao and Chen Li especially like this sour tofu. I'll give you the soybeans. When they're ready, send me 30 kilograms of tofu."

"No problem, no problem!" Sha Zhu agreed immediately.

Even if the craftsmanship is not done well, at least he can get 40 kilograms of tofu, and he can keep ten kilograms.

Only he could enjoy this kind of good thing of giving tofu, because he had given Chen Feng a lot of meat buns in the past.

Others can only envy.

"By the way, leave a few more bowls of tofu pudding. My sister loves it." Chen Feng reminded.

"Yes, I want to drink a lot of tofu pudding!" Chen Li couldn't help but stick her head out the door and said.

"Hey, you haven't left yet, give me back my money." Sha Zhu threatened.

"No, I'm gone!"

Chen Li was so scared that she ran away, planning to hide the money in her own locker first.

"I'm going to go back first. I'll make the tofu tomorrow and send it over."

"Okay, no rush."

"You're not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry!"

Sha Zhu went back carrying the soybeans.

Chen Feng started cooking.

Zhou Qing and Chen Jianjun were sent back by Huo Zhilan more than ten minutes later. It seemed that they went to Wangfujing for shopping.

Huo Zhilan also brought a girl who was younger than Chen Li.

"Auntie, is this your daughter?" Chen Li looked at this girl who was younger than her with curiosity, feeling very surprised.

The little girl also looked curiously at the strange young lady who was holding the egg in her hand.

"Lily, this is your sister Huo Ling. She will stay at your house for a few days. You must take care of her." Huo Zhilan said with a smile.

Chen Li raised her head and blinked.

"Will she steal my tofu pudding?"

"Ah, uh, haha."

Seeing how serious she was, Huo Zhilan smiled and asked, "Are you willing to give it to her?"

Chen Li looked at the little sister and said, "She can only drink if I give it to her. If she takes it from me, I will beat her!"

"I'm not afraid of you!" Huo Ling said, trying to be bold. "I'm also very good at fighting. Even Sister Wen Jin can't beat me."

"Hmph, I'm the most powerful. Even Xiao Jie can't beat me." Chen Li said loudly.

"Lily, give me the eggs."

The old lady took the eggs from Chen Li's hand.

"Auntie, why is Huo Ling living in my house?" Chen Feng didn't understand what these adults were doing. Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang were fine, but who the hell was this Huo Ling?

Huo Zhilan picked up Huo Ling and explained, "These few days, her parents are going back to Changsha to worship their ancestors during the Qingming Festival. The journey may not be safe, so her mother asked me to take care of her. I don't have the time to take care of her, so it's just right for her to be at your house and have her be a younger sister to little Lily."

"Can I object?" Chen Feng asked tentatively.

"Opposition is useless. Your father was fostered in the Huo family for several years." Huo Zhilan said with a smile, "It is only natural that a son should pay back his father's debts."
