Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 1302: Chapter 1101 Qiao Xiaomai’s Plan_1 Chapter 1302: Chapter 1101 Qiao Xiaomai’s Plan_1 The next day, Tong Erlang came.

He was there to beg Tong Sanlang to show up at the Full Moon Banquet. Tong Sanlang had now become a lord, the only one in all of Huai’an County, no, the only one throughout the whole Daqi.

At that time, the Full Moon Banquet would invite all the villagers and the Tong Family’s relatives; with so many people watching, if Tong Sanlang didn’t appear, wouldn’t that indicate to everyone that he had severed ties with his wife and him?

That simply wouldn’t do.

Qiao Xiaomai had broken off relations with the Tong Family, but he was still Tong Sanlang’s second brother, and Tong Sanlang had not broken off relations with him.

He lowered his stance, pleaded in various ways, and repeatedly assured that neither he nor Zhu Hongyun would cause trouble. Under these circumstances, Tong Sanlang finally nodded his head.

It was all about keeping up appearances, after all; since Tong Erlang and his wife wanted that, he would make an appearance at that time to satisfy their vanity.

When Qiao Xiaomai learned of this, she nearly rolled her eyes to the heavens.

Tong Sanlang comforted her, “Don’t worry, I’ll just show my face, I won’t even eat.”

“If you want to go, go, I’m not stopping you,” Qiao Xiaomai still rolled her eyes.

Tong Sanlang wrapped his arms around her shoulders, leaned over, and kissed her on the face, chuckling, “My dear wife, how about we take a stroll in town?”

“What for?”

“To shop!”

“I won’t go.”

She had already been all over Bailu Town; there wasn’t a hint of novelty left.

“Then, how about I go down to the river and gather some river snails for you? Didn’t you say a few days ago that you wanted to make some Snail Noodle? I’ll go gather some river snails, okay?” Tong Sanlang offered again.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai rolled her eyes and said, “Alright.”

“Great!” Tong Sanlang replied loudly and squatted down in front of Qiao Xiaomai, “Come on, I’ll carry you on my back so you won’t get tired in this scorching heat.”

Seeing this, Qiao Xiaomai couldn’t help but roll her eyes again, though this time her face bore a smile. She bent down and lay onto Tong Sanlang’s back.

Tong Sanlang held her legs with both hands, stood up, and as they left the room, he picked up a small wooden bucket from the Courtyard, “Let’s go!”

With that said, he and Qiao Xiaomai took off into the sky; even in the blistering heat, it was more comfortable to travel with their light-footed abilities.

A moment later, they landed beside a small river at the bottom of an earthen slope. Some lotuses had been planted in the river. He first picked a large lotus leaf to use as an umbrella for Qiao Xiaomai, then he took off his shoes, rolled up his trousers, and waded into the water.

The little river had tiny fish, only the size of a palm, and except for him and Qiao Xiaomai, no one else came to catch them–the guards looked down on these little fish and preferred to buy fish from the town if they wanted to eat fish.

He moved swiftly; whether it was a small fish or a loach, if he spotted one, it couldn’t escape the palm of his hand. In only a quarter of an hour, the bucket was full, with the majority being river snails and some small fish and loaches.

After returning, he let Qiao Xiaomai sit by the side while he personally cleaned the river snails and then prepared the broth following the steps Qiao Xiaomai had instructed.

By the time the broth was ready, it was nearly midday, time to make lunch.

Qiao Xiaomai asked him to fetch some hairy eggs from the ice cellar.

Hairy eggs, also known as “wang chicken eggs” or “chick eggs,” are chicken eggs in which the chick has died in the shell during the incubation process for various reasons and failed to hatch. The manor raised many chickens, and every day they laid thousands of eggs, most of which were sent to the kitchen.

However, some were kept aside, either for eating or for incubating into chicks. Not all incubation attempts were successful, which resulted in some hairy eggs.

Hairy eggs fried in oil with a sprinkle of seasoning tasted exceptionally delicious.
