Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

The middle courtyard, the pool.

Aunt Wu boiled water and took the pheasants and rabbits out of the pool to kill them, but she was surrounded by a group of women.

The woman in the entire hospital now envies Qin Jingru the most. Qin Jingru married such a good man, who not only has a high salary but is also such a skilled hunter.

In this year's climate, meat is selling for over ten yuan a pound. Since the New Year, they've basically had no meat. But Qin Jingru's husband is amazing; he hunts every few days, and he doesn't take the game to the factory to sell. Instead, Qin Jingru eats so well that she's glowing with health. That's life.

Not only Qin Jingru, but even Aunt Wu, who had previously helped Wang Feng a little, has benefited greatly from Wang Feng's success.

These chicken heads, tails, and internal organs are really good stuff. Just the head, tail, and internal organs of this one pheasant and rabbit together weigh at least a pound. If you sell these things, you can get at least several dollars.

There's also the matter of Aunt Wu getting a job in the steel rolling mill's kitchen. Although she said she borrowed money from relatives to buy the job, everyone in the compound knows that it must have been Wang Feng who borrowed the money.

Now they feel a mixture of envy and jealousy towards Aunt Wu, but mostly regret for not helping Wang Feng when he was in trouble.

While killing and plucking the chicken, Aunt Wu would chat with them from time to time, completely ignoring their envious and jealous looks. After all, everyone in the yard knows who else.

Now Aunt Wu has become quite experienced at killing chickens and rabbits. She kills them quickly and cleanly, stripping away all the fine hairs and chopping them into pieces for Qin Jingru, all of which are about the same size.

Having worked in the kitchen for so long, she knows a little about the chef's cooking tips, such as the importance of uniformly sized ingredients.

In just over an hour, Aunt Wu had finished killing the pheasant and rabbit. She delivered the pheasant and rabbit meat to Wang Feng's house and then went back to deal with the chicken's head, tail, and internal organs.

There's so much meat, Ya Ya can eat it for two days straight. The cafeteria rarely serves complimentary meals these days, and the kitchen staff haven't had meat in a long time either. This meat will help Ya Ya recover properly.

......

Noon.

Qin Jingru brought the dishes to the table, and Lu Banxia came into the room and nudged Wang Feng's arm:

"Brother Feng, get up and eat."

Wang Feng opened his eyes, quickly put on his clothes, and left the room.

Looking at the delicious-looking pheasant stew with mushrooms and stir-fried rabbit, Wang Feng felt nostalgic for the feeling of eating at home.

Qin Jingru served Wang Feng a bowl of rice and then put a rabbit leg on his plate, smiling sweetly.

"Brother Wang Feng, you've been away for so long this time, you must not have eaten well. Eat more."

"Um."

Wang Feng picked up a rabbit leg and started eating it; it was just as delicious as before.

"Jingru, Banxia, ​​I have to go out for a while. You two should rest well at home this afternoon. If you go out to play, please be careful."

"Okay, Brother Wang Feng."

Wang Feng ate four large bowls of food during the meal, and most of the two large bowls of pheasant and rabbit were eaten. This was mainly because Wang Feng had a good appetite and ate a lot. Qin Jingru's appetite had also increased compared to before.

After the meal, Lu Banxia took the initiative to clear the table, wipe the dishes, make tea, and wash the dishes. Now, Lu Banxia basically takes care of all the housework. Of course, Qin Jingru still has to do the cooking herself.

After finishing his tea, Wang Feng said goodbye to Qin Jingru and Lu Banxia, ​​then pushed his bicycle out the door.

He had just arrived in the front yard when he saw someone who was both unexpected and yet perfectly logical.

It's that meme about the Thief Saint's Staff, which is said to be unkillable even by the Four Swords of Zhuxian.

Wang Feng quickly walked up to Bang Geng and asked, "Bang Geng, why are you back? When did you get back?"

When Banggeng saw it was Wang Feng, he stomped on the ants Wang Feng was playing with and killed them. He rolled his eyes and said, "What's it to you? You don't give me any meat, so why should I answer you?"

"Well."

Wang Feng was speechless after being choked by the stick, but he was really too curious. Although the stick was tough, it had been kidnapped by the beggars for so long that it should have been sold to the deep mountains and forests long ago. It probably wouldn't be easy for it to escape from such a place.

He pulled a White Rabbit milk candy from his pocket, waved it in front of Banggeng, and said with a smile:

"Hey, how about this: tell me how you escaped, and I'll give you a White Rabbit candy, okay?"

When Banggeng saw the White Rabbit candy, he kept swallowing and snatched it away, his little eyes darting around.

"You said it yourself, and once I say it, you can't go back on your word."

Wang Feng laughed heartily: "Great idea! Look at what you're saying. We've worked together more than once or twice. Think about it carefully, when have I ever lied to you?"

Bang Geng thought about it and agreed, then nodded immediately: "Okay, then I'll tell you."

"After I was kidnapped by a child trafficker, I was sold to the mountains of Baoding. I escaped when the old man was drunk one night. On the way, I met an old man and two uncles who took me to the town police station."

Upon hearing Banggeng's account, Wang Feng had to admit that Banggeng was definitely the chosen one of this world. At only seven years old, he managed to escape after being sold to the mountains. This would have been impossible for anyone else.

That old bachelor isn't stupid. Bang Geng is already seven years old, how could he not be on guard at all? How could he let Bang Geng escape so easily?

"Haha, great job! It's wonderful that you're back. When I buy some White Rabbit candies, go to Yi Zhonghai's house to summon his spirit again, and I'll give you two White Rabbit candies. How about that?"

"No problem, as long as you give me White Rabbit milk candy, I'll go to anyone's house to summon a spirit."

Bang Geng agreed without even thinking. Now that Yi Zhonghai, that dead son, wouldn't buy him candy, he wasn't afraid of offending that dead son.

"Hehe, then it's settled."

Wang Feng laughed and pushed his bicycle out of the front yard, heading towards courtyard number 28.

He hadn't eaten meat for almost a month, and today was Sunday, so he couldn't very well eat meat with Lu Banxia in the courtyard. He had no choice but to go to courtyard number 28 and cause trouble.

Fortunately, No. 28 is a detached house, so there are no problems whether it's day or night.

Wang Feng rode his bicycle and calculated the time; Lou Xiao'e's relatives hadn't arrived yet.

Halfway there, they came to a secluded corner. Wang Feng took out six pheasants, six rabbits, two geese, and one pound each of pork and beef from his spatial storage.

I haven't sent any vegetables to Lou Xiao'e's place in so long, I guess she's already run out of food.
