The eldest sister-in-law became rich by farming in the mountains

"I bought an extra one, and I'm giving it to you."

Without waiting for Jiang Laifu's reaction, Xu Yingtao stuffed the roast chicken into Jiang Laifu's arms and said, "I promised to bring you food last time. I'm really sorry. I was so busy that I forgot. I will definitely bring you food next time."

After saying this, he hurriedly got on the mule cart.

There was no way, the county town was too far from the village and she was in a hurry.

Jiang Lai Fu held the still hot oil paper bag in his hand and watched helplessly as the mule cart left the city gate.

He had been waiting there for nearly a month in order to pay back the money, but he didn't pay it back and instead got a roast chicken for no apparent reason.

Jiang Lai Fu has never been a crybaby since he was a child, but every time he meets Xu Yingtao, his nose tip feels sour and his throat seems to be blocked by something.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then said solemnly to the direction where the mule cart was going away: "Thank you, sister."

Long before Xu Yingtao got off the car to buy roast chicken, Xiao Zhou had already persuaded Zhang Xiaohua.

But the little girl held the snack in her hand and didn't dare to eat it.

It was Xie Li who advised: "Sister, eat quickly, otherwise my sister-in-law will stuff you with chicken legs later, and you won't be able to take them."

The aroma of snacks filled her nose. Zhang Xiaohua had long stopped crying. But when she heard that she still had chicken legs to eat, she could not help but pull the corners of her mouth and smiled bitterly.

In the past, even when his parents were alive, whenever the family cooked meat, his father and eldest brother would eat first. Only after the men had eaten enough would the women get to taste some meat.

A whole chicken leg, something she had only seen before but had never eaten before.

Especially now that she was a bought slave, how could she deserve to eat chicken legs.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the host lift the curtain and get into the car. Zhang Xiaohua lowered his head unconsciously.

Obviously, the two of them were not much different in age, but because of the difference in status, there was an insurmountable gap between them.

At least that's what Zhang Xiaohua thinks.

Xu Yingtao had no idea what she was thinking. As soon as she got in the car, she began to unwrap the oil paper package, and as Xie Li said, she pulled off the chicken leg and handed it over.

Zhang Xiaohua was so frightened that she leaned back unconsciously.

"Don't be afraid. We are all ordinary farmers, not bad people." Xu Yingtao advised gently, "Buying you was purely an accident. I don't expect you to do anything in the future. Just help my mother with work at home and feed the eagles. I can't guarantee anything else, but I will make sure you have enough food."

As a new-age woman who is deeply influenced by the concept of equality for all, Xu Yingtao is opposed to human trafficking from the bottom of her heart.

But she really couldn't just ignore this little girl who shared the same suffering as her original self.

Never mind, just consider it as hiring a long-term employee for yourself.

Zhang Xiaohua's attention was focused on the three words "Feed the Eagle".

What is "Feed the Eagle"?

She was curious, but she didn't dare to ask.

She didn't dare to reach out to take the chicken leg.

But her stomach, which had not eaten for a long time, did not obey her will. Under the attack of the aroma of snacks and roast chicken, the "gurgling" sound of hunger instantly filled the entire carriage.

Xu Yingtao felt sympathetic and wanted to laugh, so she simply piled the chicken legs on the snacks in her hand.

"Eat quickly. At worst, I'll deduct it from your monthly salary."

She could tell from the moment the little girl dared to commit suicide that she was a girl with strong character and self-esteem. If she wasn't coaxed, she might really refuse to eat.

Sure enough, when Zhang Xiaohua heard what Xu Yingtao said, her originally tight defense line collapsed instantly. She could no longer resist the temptation of food, grabbed the chicken leg snack and began to eat it voraciously.

As the empty stomach became fuller and fuller, the fear and grievance that had been suppressed for a long time turned into tears uncontrollably and flowed down the cheeks.

Xu Yingtao handed over the handkerchief at the right time and said softly, "The remaining half is all yours. Eat slowly, there is no rush."

The group entered the village before dark.

Zou Yanming was riding in a horse-drawn carriage, which was much more advanced than a mule cart, so as soon as he entered the village, he was surrounded by many villagers.

Zheng Wen instructed his son who was climbing a tree with his friends: "Little son, go back and tell your grandparents that guests are coming. Prepare some delicious food."

Upon hearing this, Zheng An quickly slid down the tree and disappeared in a flash.

Xie Bao also got down from the tree, and ran to the mule cart in a rather flattering manner, calling her "cousin-law" all the time in a very sweet manner.

How could Xu Yingtao not know what he was thinking? She grabbed two handfuls of maltose and handed them out: "Take it and share it with everyone."

Xie Bao was grinning and was about to reach out to take it when he saw Zhang Xiaohua through the car curtain.

Xie Bao was stunned.

I thought to myself that this young lady is quite pretty, but why does she have to wear a headscarf?

Xie Li said impatiently: "What are you looking at? Do you want more candy?"

Xie Bao nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, yes!"

The mule cart led the way, and the carriage finally entered the Zheng family yard.

The Zheng family had already prepared dinner. When Mrs. Zhou heard her grandson say that guests had arrived in a carriage, she quickly slaughtered a chicken.

The order concerns the livelihood of the entire village, so of course they have to take it seriously.

At the same time, Xu Yingtao asked Xie Li to go home and bring back the cold rabbit she had prepared last night. She also notified Jiang and Xie Bai to come over for dinner. Together with the roast chicken she brought back, she made two tables of sumptuous meals.

There is one table for men and one table for women and children.

Fern cake fried with bacon, pickled cabbage stewed with Castanopsis bittern vermicelli, cold rabbit, cold fern root vermicelli, konjac roast chicken...

Except for the cold rabbit, every dish is personally taught by Xu Yingtao, so the taste is naturally not bad.

Zou Yanming was eating so deliciously that he couldn't put his chopsticks down.

From the moment he proposed to visit Nanxi Village, he was prepared to stay in the village tonight.

He originally thought that the farmers' meals were rough and simple, but he didn't expect that they would surprise him several times in a row.

Seeing that he was satisfied with the meal, Xu Yingtao raised her glass and continued the topic that she had not finished in the teahouse at noon.

"Mr. Zou, if you can afford this stall, I suggest you open a food franchise store in Wufeng Town. Then all the specialty agricultural products of our village will be exclusively for you. As for other restaurants in the town who want to place orders, they can directly contact you. What do you think of this proposal?"

Previously in the teahouse, Xu Yingtao had talked to him about what a specialty store was. Originally, Zou Yanming was a little nervous, but after tasting the food, he was willing to go in.

However, the order volume of a specialty store is much larger than that of an ordinary restaurant, and there are also more risks involved. Zou Yanming is well aware of the pros and cons, so he prefers to visit all the major workshops before making a final decision.

Zou Yanming raised his glass and responded, "Please allow me to think about it for one night, Madam Xu."

"No problem at all."

At the other table, Zhang Xiaohua was too nervous to pick up her chopsticks. Jiang had learned all the causes and consequences from Xiao Zhou. Seeing this, she picked up a piece of bacon with her chopsticks and put it into Zhang Xiaohua's bowl.

"Good child, don't think too much, eat well, and heal your wounds as soon as possible. Since you are a member of my family in the future, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

Zhang Xiaohua stared at the greasy bacon on the white rice, feeling extremely complicated.

Even if the master doesn't treat her as a slave, can an ordinary farmer really afford such food?
