Koi baby helps his mother farm and becomes the richest man

Zhou Qi originally planned to deliver the roasted dishes to Zhou Yu personally.

But the rain outside showed no sign of letting up, and it was even windy. Aunt Zhao was afraid that she would catch a cold, so she refused.

So in the end she was the one who delivered it.

Qin Ying carefully placed the roasted vegetables on a plate, covered them with a bowl, put them in a basket, covered them with two layers of steamer cloth to keep them warm, and then covered them with a rain cloth. Then she saw Aunt Zhao out and said, "Just carry it over the wall. It will save you a few steps and will get cold more slowly."

Aunt Zhao agreed, put on her hat, walked quickly to the courtyard wall and called Xu Xia.

Xu Xia quickly came out holding an umbrella and asked, "Aunt Zhao, what can I do for you?"

Aunt Zhao passed the basket over the wall and said, "Hurry up and take this. These are some of the vegetables and steamed buns we baked for you to try.

"Make some soup for yourselves, otherwise it will be too dry."

Xu Xia quickly took it, thanked her, and watched Aunt Zhao turn around and walk back before going back into the house.

As soon as the rain cover was lifted, a rich fragrance wafted out.

Zhou Yu sniffed: "What's that smell?"

"Aunt Zhao sent some baked buns and vegetables," Xu Xia said with a smile, "Their food must be delicious!"

As he spoke, he took off the rain-soaked tarp, opened the steamer cloth, and touched the covered bowl, "It's still hot!"

Zhang Jinzhi helped to clear the table and put the plates in place. He waited until Zhou Yu washed his hands and sat down before he opened the bowl.

The previously faint aroma became stronger, making people's mouths water.

The dishes also looked delicious. Zhang Jinzhi handed Zhou Yu a pair of chopsticks and asked Xu Xia, "What's on this steamed bun?"

"I don't know either," Xu Xia guessed, "They probably made the sauce themselves."

He still remembered Aunt Zhao's instructions, set the table and prepared to cook the soup.

Zhou Yu hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't bother, we have hot water ready. Just drink some hot water after eating.

"There are not many people here now, so you can sit down and let's eat together."

The dishes and steamed buns served were obviously enough for the three of them.

Xu Xia apologized, sat down with his signature on his side, and ate together.

The potato slices are soft and sticky, the roasted mushrooms are charred, the roasted tofu skin vegetable rolls retain the crispness of the vegetables, and the roasted steamed buns are soaked in the aroma of soy sauce...

I haven't tried it, it's delicious!

The three of them devoured the food quickly and finished everything that was served.

Xu Xia went to make three more bowls of fried noodles.

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "That's really good, but I don't know how to do it."

Zhang Jinzhi said, "Maybe it was grilled on a wire mesh? But the Zhao family probably doesn't have that."

"No, no," Xu Xia said hurriedly, "Didn't you see those two holes? I guess they were roasted on a skewer!"

Zhou Yu mediated: "There's nothing to argue about. Why don't we go and ask after the rain stops?"

Unexpectedly, the rain continued until dark.

It gets dark early on rainy days, but it’s actually not that late.

Aunt Zhao stared at the bamboo hat and walked to the wall. She called out to Xu Xia and waited until Xu Xia left before saying, "Don't cook over here. We'll make a big stew. Make a lot and bring it to you later."

Xu Xia quickly returned the basket and asked how the food was made.

Aunt Zhao said proudly, "That was the idea An An came up with. She put the vegetables and steamed buns on wooden skewers and grilled them.

"It was because her uncle coaxed her into making candied haws for her, sharpened a lot of wooden sticks, and told her how to make candied haws, that she came up with this idea."

"Hey!" Xu Xia gave a thumbs up. "Being able to think of things that others can't, our An An is really promising!"

Aunt Zhao spoke modestly, but her mouth was stretched to the back of her ears.

When Xu Xia returned, Zhou Yu asked, "You just returned the empty basket?"

Xu Xia slapped his head and said, "Oh, I was in a hurry and forgot!"

"It's okay," Zhang Jinzhi said with a smile, "We still have a small piece of bacon. It will be the same if we give it to them later."

Zhou Yu urged: "Pack some more food for them. We are three grown men, and we have big stomachs."

Zhang Jinzhi agreed and immediately took Xu Xia to pack the food and bacon, carefully wrapped them in oilcloth, and placed them by the door to prevent them from being forgotten.

The next day the rain stopped, but the sky was not completely clear yet, with a thin layer of clouds covering the sky.

Zhou Yu stood in the yard looking at the wooden basin that had been placed there since the rain yesterday, estimating the amount of rainfall this time.

Xu Xia bent down and stretched out his hand to measure it, then turned around and said happily, "Sir! It's more than four fingers!"

Zhou Yu smiled. The rain was light, seeping into the soil as it fell, so it could be considered a heavy rain.

Zhang Jinzhi came back from outside wearing clogs and said with a smile, "Sir, the rain in the village is a little lighter, and the rain outside the village is a little heavier, but it's at least three inches."

He put down the shovel on his shoulder and pointed it to Zhou Yu. "I tried digging, and it's wet more than two feet below."

Zhou Yu was even happier.

Many villagers in Tongshutun went to the fields to check on the harvest, and are now coming back one after another. Everyone has a smile on their face, and when they meet each other they say, "Oh, the harvest this year will definitely be good."

Even Aunt Zhao from next door had gotten up early to check on the situation in the fields. She returned and took off her muddy straw sandals at the gate. With a smile on her face, she said to Qin Ying, who was cooking breakfast on the big stove in the yard, "Yingzi, our good days are really coming!"

Qin Ying smiled and asked, "Is it soaking wet?"

"Yes, yes, yes," Aunt Zhao nodded repeatedly, putting down the hoe on her shoulder and the basket on her arm, "Now when I look around, there are green sprouts everywhere!

"I dug out some tender crow tendons. Let's make steamed vegetable dumplings!"

Qin Ying agreed without hesitation.

An An came running over and dug into the basket and asked, "Grandma, why is this a good dish called crow tendon?"

Aunt Zhao laughed out loud: "You little girl, you really stumped me! I don't know either. This is what the elders at home taught me when I was a child."

An An turned around and asked Qin Ying, but Qin Ying shook her head: "I don't know either."

When I asked Zhou Qi and Zhou Mian again, I got the same answer.

She pouted. Alas, it was a pity that she didn’t have Baidu Encyclopedia function, otherwise, would there be things in this world that she didn’t know?

However, not knowing this didn't affect her eating and playing. She rolled up a ball of mud and made a small ball out of it.

"Oh, my precious!" Aunt Zhao saw her and quickly dragged her back to the house, "Go wash your hands!

"Tell me, what are you playing with in the mud?"

An An was not convinced: "Can't I play with mud?"

"It's fun!" Aunt Zhao rolled up her sleeves and washed her hands. "It's fun to play at the right time. The mud is hard and cold right now. What's fun in it?

"When the weather gets warmer, grandma will take you to play with mud and teach you how to make mud figures and mud houses, okay?"

"Wow!" An An exclaimed, "My grandma is so skillful!"
