Although Xia Mo was looking at the jar, they were not far away from each other, so he could hear their conversation clearly. He also knew that the village chief had no other intentions, but how could he take back something that had been given away?

So he turned around and said with a smile: "Grandpa Village Chief, I still have some at home, so I'll give you a little bit to try."

Ling Chuan nodded and agreed, "Ze'er's cooking skills are good."

Liu Zheng was wiping the drool from the baby in his arms, when he looked up he saw the young couple's attitude. He thought it was just some snacks, so he didn't delay any longer.

"Well, since it's Ze'er's craftsmanship, I, the old man, will definitely taste it later."

After Liu Zheng finished speaking, he burst into laughter again. The baby in his arms thought he was teasing him and also giggled.

Ling Chuan glanced at the kid, frowned quickly, then turned and walked to Xia Mo's side.

The two of them picked for a while and finally chose three large and two small pottery jars.

The small jars are mainly for convenience in carrying into the city. After all, this is to test the market for maltose, and it is impossible for Xia Mo to bring all the maltose into the city at once.

After choosing the jars, Ling Chuan glanced at the shelf on the other side that was dedicated to mountain products. Thinking that he had a pheasant at home, he took some dried mushrooms and planned to kill it in the evening and make chicken stew with mushrooms.

Otherwise, if Dan was alone at home, he would probably not be willing to eat it.

After selecting the items they wanted to buy, Ling Chuan paid. Liu Zheng originally wanted to give them a small discount, but Ling Chuan could tell at a glance that the items were already sold at real price, so he shook his head and refused.

Seeing this, Xia Mo also smiled and said, "No need. If you round off the amount again, you will lose money, Village Chief."

Liu Zheng smiled and said, "Not many children."

"A little bit adds up to a lot. You can't do business like this. That's what my mother said."

Upon hearing this, Liu Zheng took the money, then turned around and took out some thin hemp ropes used to tie pottery jars, so that they would be easier to carry.

The two said goodbye to Liu Zheng, and naturally they didn't know that not long after they left, Liu Zheng's daughter-in-law Xiao Liu came back.

Just as Xiao Liu was about to pick up her son, she saw the small paper bag on the table and asked casually, "Father-in-law, what is this?"

Liu Zheng laughed and said, "These are snacks made by Ze Ge'er."

"Oh?" Xiao Liu was a little surprised. Although she had heard people say that Ze Ge'er had changed a lot recently, she didn't expect him to be able to do this.

"The child is kind-hearted, just like his mother." Liu Zheng sighed.

Xiao Liu looked at the paper bag and nodded. It was really rare that Ze Ge'er could still have kindness in his heart after being treated so unfairly.

"Father-in-law, please open it and take a look." Xiao Liu was also very curious about what was inside.

Upon hearing this, Liu Zheng opened the paper package. The result was the same as that of Qi and the others. At first, he could not tell what the snack was. It was not until Liu Zheng ate a piece that his eyes suddenly widened and he stood up excitedly.

Sweet...it's sugar!

Liu Zheng was shocked and then remembered that it was Ze Ge'er who did it. He was silent for a moment, but soon he burst into laughter, "Hahaha, good, Ling Chuan is still a good man."

Xiao Liu was confused when she saw her father-in-law's expression change several times in an instant. It was not until she tasted a piece of maltose that she understood what her father-in-law meant...

After Xia Mo and Ling Chuan returned home, they began to wash the pottery jars.

Ling Chuan turned his head to look at the young man and suggested, "I'll kill the pheasant later."

Xia Mo had no objection. First, Ling Chuan was leaving tomorrow, and second, he hadn't eaten chicken stewed with mushrooms for a long time. When he recalled the delicious taste, he instantly became very hungry.

Then he smiled and said, "Okay, after I finish brushing this, I'll go boil some water."

So after they finished washing all the jars, Xia Mo soaked the dried mushrooms first and then went to boil water, while Ling Chuan took a few jars aside to dry them upside down and then went outside to catch pheasants.

But just as he walked to the chicken coop, he heard Liu Yong calling, so he turned around and went out to open the door.

Liu Yong didn't come alone, he was followed by a little tail.

Tiedan brought a bowl of peanuts. When he saw that the person who opened the door was not Aunt Wenrou, he looked a little disappointed, but he still politely greeted Lingchuan and handed the bowl in his hand to him.

"Uncle Ling, these are the salted peanuts cooked by my family. They are for you and aunt."

Ling Chuan looked down at the chubby little kid, but before he could reach out to take it, Liu Yong beside him laughed and teased his son.

"This kid came here once after eating the candy made by Ze Ge'er, but happened to be that you guys weren't back yet, so he went back."

Although Tiedan was thick-skinned, he was still a little afraid of Lingchuan. After being exposed by his father, the momentum he had worked so hard to build up was instantly deflated. He could only raise his hand and stretch the bowl towards Lingchuan again.

"Uncle Ling, this is delicious. Aunt will definitely like it!" Tiedan said confidently.

Hearing this, Ling Chuan's indifferent eyes softened instantly, and he took the bowl and said, "Well, that's thoughtful."

When Tiedan saw that he finally accepted it, he was immediately very happy. He raised his hand to scratch his little head and chuckled. When Liu Yong saw that his son successfully delivered the salted peanuts, he didn't plan to stay.

"Lingchuan, let's go back first... Oh, by the way, when are you going up the mountain? Remember to call me then."

Ling Chuan nodded, thought for a moment and said, "Brother Dayong, I have to go out for a while. Can you and sister-in-law help me look after Ze'er?"

Alas, I still can't let go.

Liu Yong, who was about to leave, frowned slightly when he heard this, "You're going on a long journey?"

"Well, that family has bad intentions." Ling Chuan hinted.

Liu Yong naturally knew which company he was talking about, but hadn't he just returned? Why was he leaving again?

Liu Yong thought about it and decided not to ask too much, so he nodded and agreed, "Don't worry, everyone is here, and considering their family's situation, they probably don't have the energy to cause trouble."

Ling Chuan nodded, "Thank you very much."

Liu Yong waved his hand, "What's the big deal?"

After saying that, he patted Tiedan who was looking at them in confusion and said, "Let's go. Your mother is waiting for us at home."

Liu Yong and his son came and went in a hurry.

After they left, Lingchuan went in with the bowl.

Xia Mo, who was making fire, heard the footsteps and looked up. He found that there was a bowl in his hand and asked in surprise: "Brother Ling, what is this?"

"These are the salted peanuts that Brother Dayong and Tiedan sent me." Ling Chuan walked directly to the boy and squatted down. "Would you like some?"

"Well, Sister Qi and the others are so polite." Xia Mo didn't mind getting his hands dirty, he just grabbed one and started peeling it.

"Here, this is your reward." After peeling the peanuts, Xia Mo did not eat them immediately. Instead, he looked at Ling Chuan with a smile and handed the peanut shell to his mouth.

Ling Chuan looked at the young man's face reflected in the firelight, then he smiled, lowered his head, opened his mouth, and immediately ate the young man's reward.

"It's delicious, you should eat it too." Ling Chuan said with a sparkling look in his eyes.

"Hmm." Xia Mo peeled another one and ate it himself.

"Brother Ling, you can put the bowl on the stove. The water isn't boiling yet. Eat some peanuts before you kill the chicken."

Lingchuan obediently put the bowl on it, then grabbed a few fruits in his hand and began to peel them.

"for you."

Xia Mo was holding firewood in his hand, and seeing this, he unceremoniously asked someone to feed him.

So before he knew it, most of the time, Ling Chuan was helping Xia Mo peel the peanut shells...
