An hour passed.

Chu Xiao and Lin Zheng came back with a group of little guys.

They were carrying a basket of plums, and the little ones were each chewing a plum.

Chewing and chirping at the same time.

When I got home, the Chu family's yard suddenly became lively.

"Mom! We are back! We picked plums for you!"

When I got home, I saw Shen Zhi washing vegetables. The three little ones of the Chu family each took a plum and ran to her side.

she was

The plums were washed clean by them, and they were round and yellowish green.

I originally thought it wouldn't be particularly sweet, but after taking a bite, I found it to be crispy and sweet.

Shen Zhi was stunned for a moment, "This plum is so delicious!"

"Hey, mother, this is from the top of the tree. Grandpa climbed up to pick it!"

Shen Zhi pointed inside the house and said, "Mom bought cherries today. Hurry up and take them out to share with your friends."

When the three little ones heard this, they cried out excitedly.

Soon, a swarm of people rushed into the house, and then they ran out with cherries in their hands.

Chu Xiao and Lin Zheng were both stunned when they saw the fruit. "Shen Zhi, where did this fruit come from?"

“I bought it today.”

"bought?!"

"I have never seen this kind of fruit. It's impossible. I have seen almost all kinds of fruits."

Shen Zhi paused, "Mom, this fruit is a big cherry, grown by someone by accident, it's normal that you haven't eaten it before."

Lin Zheng held a cherry in her hand and looked at it over and over again, and would look at her every few seconds.

"Mom, try it quickly."

Lin Zheng calmed down and started to taste it.

After tasting it, she became more certain that such good fruit could not be sold without being seen.

And it is impossible not to know, unless the number is extremely small.

Maybe Shen Zhi is just lucky.

After thinking for a while, Lin Zheng suddenly asked: "Shen Zhi, this fruit is very sweet, and the flesh is fragrant and juicy. Where did you buy it? Let's go buy some seedlings and plant them in the yard of our new home."

"If there are a lot of fruits, maybe we can sell them and it will bring in some income for the family."

When she said this, Shen Zhi's mind suddenly lit up.

Yes! She could definitely plant peach and cherry trees, and if she watered them with spiritual spring water every day, they would definitely survive.

And it can be planted on a large scale.

As she thought about it, her heart warmed. "Mom! You're right! I'll buy some more in a few days and plant them in the spring."

"to make!"

For dinner, Shen Zhi made noodles after consulting the workers.

If you eat this every day, you will get tired of it.

She cut the bacon, garlic sprouts and sauerkraut.

I made a dish of bacon and sauerkraut sauce, and the noodles were made into ramen.

The ramen is springy and chewy, topped with a large spoonful of fragrant bacon and sauerkraut, and a spoonful of rich soup.

The craftsmen ate with relish, it tasted so delicious that they didn't know what to say.

"The dishes cooked by the host's wife are so delicious! I have never eaten noodles so delicious!"

"I haven't eaten it either. If this kind of noodles were sold outside, everyone would definitely buy it!"

"This meat smells really good. I heard it's bacon. What is this bacon?"

"It must be made by them themselves. It's a unique craft. Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask!"

Not only did the craftsmen enjoy the meal, even Chu Xiao and Lin Zheng loved it.

After eating, the craftsmen went home satisfied.

Along the way, Zhang Dali held the fruits and dumplings in his arms tightly.

The fried dumplings had already gone cold, but they were still delicious when I heated them up at home.

Finally, after walking for an unknown amount of time, I saw my own small thatched cottage.

Perhaps hearing his footsteps, the door opened and a woman came out holding a little kid of four or five years old.

"Dad! Are you back?"

"Dad! Is that you?"

Zhang Dali's heart warmed up, "Hey! It's me! It's Dad!"

"father!!"

His figure appeared in front of the mother and child, and the little kid suddenly jumped into his arms, "Dad! You're finally back! Why are you back so late?"

The woman asked worriedly, "You came back so late. Is it because the master is too harsh this time? He asked you to do more work?"

The man picked up the little girl with one hand and walked into the house with her in his arms.

"No, don't worry, our host this time is great, we have meat to eat every day! Today I ate..."

He told her gently what he had eaten today.

The mother and son were stunned when they heard this.

"Dad, I stewed chicken for you yesterday. Will I give you meat today? Is the master so kind?"

"Good! Very good!"

The little kid swallowed his saliva, "Dad, is the meat they stewed especially delicious? Is it the kind of fat meat?"

"We had bacon for dinner, fried with pickled cabbage and made into noodles. The noodles were all made of white flour!"

"Dad, what is bacon?"

"Dad doesn't know how it's made, but this meat is so delicious!"

The little boy became even more greedy after listening to this. His family had not eaten meat for a long time. He suddenly envied his father.

"Dad, does the master's family still need people to work? Can I go? I don't want money, just give me food!"

Zhang Dali couldn't help but kiss him, "You are still young. When you grow up, Dad will take you there too."

"Ok."

Seeing him look lost, a smile flashed in Zhang Dali's eyes, and he suddenly took out the tightly wrapped fried dumplings and purple cherries from his arms.

The little baby was stunned.

The woman was also stunned.

"Dad! Where did you get this from? Did you hide it secretly?"

The woman was extremely anxious. "Oh, what if someone finds out?! How could you…"

The woman knew that the man felt sorry for them and their child, and thought that he had hidden it secretly from his master's family.

The little boy was originally greedy, but when he heard his mother's words, he was so scared that his face turned pale.

Zhang Dali quickly patted their shoulders and said, "Don't worry, I didn't hide it secretly!"

He explained carefully, "These are dumplings, fried dumplings, fried in oil, very fragrant. The host ate these in the morning and gave two to each of us. I ate one and brought this back for you to try."

"And this fruit. The owner gave everyone a big handful. They all said it was delicious. I couldn't bear to give it away, so I brought it back for you to eat."

The mother and son were relieved.

The woman was helpless: "Just eat if I give it to you. You do such heavy work every day. How can you have the strength if you don't eat?"

"Dad, only when you eat enough can you have the strength to work."

"The host provides us with meat and rice every day. We have never eaten so much in anyone's house. Don't worry."

He handed the fruit and dumplings to the mother and son, "Try the fruit quickly, and keep the dumplings warm."

"I'm going to heat up!" The woman quickly stood up.

She was reluctant to add oil, so she just heated it up on the stove.

It was soon taken back.

"You two can each eat half," said Zhang Dali.

The woman shook her head and handed it to her son. "Give it to my son. He is still young. Eat more."

The little guy shook his head, "Mom, eat!"

"You eat it, but Mom won't."
