The evil sister is in charge, and the mother is getting married

Chapter 38 Why do you need money to collect

The next morning, when the rooster crowed for the first time outside, Sheng Wanqiu got out of bed. Today was her younger brothers' first day of school, so she must not be late and must give Master Wu a good impression of being punctual.

When the braised meat was ready last night, the whole family ate it with great satisfaction. If it weren’t for the fact that eating too much at night can easily cause indigestion, maybe all four pig’s trotters could have gone into the stomachs of the two younger brothers.

The two kids knew they had to go to school today, so they got up early and packed their bags without anyone calling them.

Last night, Mrs. Sheng made a small cloth bag for each of her two grandsons to put books, pens and other things in.

Breakfast was made by Mrs. Sheng. Each person had a bowl of egg noodle dumplings and some braised meat. The braised meat for Mr. Wu was also cut early, wrapped in oil paper, and placed in a bamboo basket.

"Grandma, let's go. I'll be back before noon." Sheng Wanqiu said back as she took her two younger brothers on the donkey cart.

"Go ahead, don't be late, be careful on the road, and you two should study hard! Grandma is waiting to enjoy the happiness!"

Mrs. Sheng stood at the door and waved at the three people, urging them to hurry up. She had a lot of things to do today and was too busy to handle everything.

She didn't know why Wanqiu was collecting dead leaves. If she wanted them, she could just go to the mountains and pick them up. Why would she pay for them?

The good thing about Mrs. Sheng is that she doesn't want to think about things that she can't figure out. She just wants to do what her granddaughter asks her to do. Now she just needs to listen to Wanqiu.

After the three siblings left, Mrs. Sheng locked the door and went to the new house. They had started digging the foundation yesterday, and construction would definitely start today. She had to go and keep an eye on it, otherwise she was afraid that the workers would not be serious.

Sheng Wanqiu safely sent her two younger brothers to Master Wu in Qiaojia Village, stuffed the things she brought into Mrs. Wu's hands, and waved goodbye to her two younger brothers.

She drove the donkey cart along the country road, breathing the fresh air. She felt that this was quite good and she felt relaxed and comfortable.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one on the road, Sheng Wanqiu moved the six large watermelons she had planted in the space last night into the carriage. In fact, eight watermelons grew out of her plants, and she kept two for herself to eat. She could collect the seeds while eating, so that she could continue to produce, right?
After entering Sishui Town, she drove directly to the entrance of Songhe Restaurant. The waiters inside basically all knew her. When they saw her coming, they came over to the door and greeted her with a smile.

"Miss Sheng, you're here to deliver some wild animals again today, right? I'll help you weigh them."

"No, I'm not here to sell game today. Is Shopkeeper Jiang here? I have something to talk to him about."

When Sheng Wanqiu heard what the waiter said, she quickly explained.

"Our boss is upstairs. Please come in and sit down first. I'll go call him right away." After saying this, the waiter turned around and went upstairs.

Sheng Wanqiu had been here several times and was familiar with the place, so she walked to a seat by the window and sat down.

At this moment, Shopkeeper Jiang was standing trembling beside a man in white, his hands shaking with nervousness. He was not in the restaurant last night, but went to deliver wine to a big client who lived in a nearby village. As a result, he could not resist the client's enthusiasm, and stayed at the client's house to drink.

As a result, when he came back this morning and saw Ling Er, who was always by the eldest master's side, he realized that the eldest master had come over last night. He was so scared that he sobered up from his hangover.

Lu Li sat by the window, head down, gently flipping through the account book in his hand. The breeze gently caressed the strands of hair on his temples, further highlighting his extraordinary temperament.

"Well, it's well done. It shows that Shopkeeper Jiang put a lot of effort into it."

Lu Li closed the account book, raised his head and smiled. This smile made Manager Jiang even more afraid to look at him.

The mind of his master is the most difficult to guess. He may be smiling at you in the last second, but may turn hostile to you in the next second, and then your life will be in danger.

Although the master has no martial arts skills, the Zero Two beside him has them, and they are unfathomable. As long as the master gives a look, the sword in Zero Two's hand will be unsheathed immediately.

"It is my duty to share my master's worries. It's my duty, my duty!" Shopkeeper Jiang immediately lowered his head and did not dare to take credit for it.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. "Manager Jiang, Miss Sheng is here. She wants to see you for something!"

At this moment, the waiter's words sounded like heavenly music to Shopkeeper Jiang.

"Master, I'm going out for a while. This Miss Sheng often comes here to sell game. She must be looking for me with something important. I'll be right back!"

Shopkeeper Jiang bowed respectfully, bowed his waist, and walked out of the room, closing the door considerately.

After wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Shopkeeper Jiang went downstairs.

"Uncle Jiang, what's wrong with you? You look very unhappy. Are you feeling unwell?"

Sheng Wanqiu saw that Manager Jiang was staggering as he went down the stairs, so she quickly stood up and walked over to ask him about his concern.

"It's okay, it's okay. I drank a little last night. Haha, I'm old and a little useless." Shopkeeper Jiang certainly couldn't say that he was scared by his master, so he could only find an excuse to get away with it.

"Uncle Jiang, wait for me."

After Sheng Wanqiu finished speaking, she walked out of the restaurant and took a big watermelon from her car.

"Sheng girl, what is this?"

Shopkeeper Jiang looked at the green, round thing with black stripes that Sheng Wanqiu was holding, and was confused for a moment, wondering what it was.
Sheng Wanqiu asked the waiter to bring a clean kitchen knife and started cutting the watermelon.

The watermelon watered by the spiritual spring is indeed a fine product. When you cut it, the watermelon juice gushes out with the unique fragrance of watermelon.

He swiftly handed the cut watermelon to Shopkeeper Jiang and distributed it to several waiters who were standing nearby watching the fun.

"Try it. This is called watermelon. It is sweet and refreshing, quenches thirst, relieves heat and relieves greasiness. It is very refreshing and delicious."

"Just spit out the seeds when you eat them, but it's okay if you don't."

After Sheng Wanqiu finished speaking, she took the lead in eating it, as a model for these people who had never seen watermelon before.

Then everyone else started eating according to her way. After taking a bite, everyone had a look of surprise on their face.

The first thought that came to my mind was that this thing called watermelon is really delicious. It is sweet, crunchy, thirst-quenching, has a good taste and is very refreshing.

"Delicious!" Shopkeeper Jiang was the first to give a thumbs up.

“This watermelon is delicious!”

"It's the most delicious melon I've ever eaten, even better than that cantaloupe!"

The waiter praised the dish non-stop, and everyone wanted more after finishing a piece.

"Uncle Jiang, this watermelon not only has delicious flesh, but the rind can also be made into a cold dish or stir-fried. Adding some shredded pork to stir-fry is also a delicious dish."

Sheng Wanqiu has explained all the ways to eat watermelon. When she was watching short videos before, she saw that in South Korea, many side dishes can be made from just the watermelon rind. What she said was conservative.
