Chapter 77: Good Day

However, despite this, the rich aroma of the braised rabbit meat has already made the people feel drunk, and made their mouth left wide open.

Bai Zhi even heard someone yelling to the other side of the wall, asking who was the person doing a good job in cooking. Making his nose smell a good fragrance.

Bai Zhi then brought out a pot of braised rabbit meat. This pot was the biggest pot she found in the Hu Family’s kitchen.

Another pot was brought out in the kitchen. Bai Zhi and Hu Feng serve the dish one after another. One person served the braised rabbit meat, while the other one served the steaming rice. Hu Changlin and Zhao Lan were chatting while waiting. Such a scene, made them look like a real family, where there were parents and children. 

Hu Changlin remembered his wife and son who died early. He became emotional, but at the same time, was thankful inside his heart. God still didn’t forsaken him, he let him met Hu Feng. He will not live alone during old age.

When Zhao Lan saw her daughter holding a pot of white rice in her hands. She couldn’t help but frown: “Zhi’er, why you didn’t cook rice porridge?”

Bai Zhi put down the white rice in her hand and smiled, then said: “Niang, we are not like in the past. When Lu Dafu returned, he will bring back the money from selling the ginseng. So later on, we can eat rice, we don’t need to eat rice porridge anymore.”

When Zhao Lan was teased by her daughter, she couldn’t help but say: “This child, you shouldn’t make a decision like this. What if Lu Dafu couldn’t bring back the money today? What will Hu Dage and Hu Feng going to eat tomorrow?

Bai Zhi put a bowl of rice in front of Zhao Lan and smiled, then said: “That’s impossible. If it was an ordinary ginseng, that can happen. But that was a hundred-year-old ginseng. How many pharmacists do you think will want to buy it? When Lu Dafu returned from his trip, I can guarantee 100% that he will bring us the money.”

Although she’s not a businesswoman, she knows how the mind of businessmen works. When those pharmacists had seen that 100-year-old ginseng, they will definitely not let go of the opportunity of buying it. And they will wait for the right time to sell it at a high price.

Hu Changlin smiled and said: “Even if we didn’t get the money today, we are hungry. What Zhi’er said is right, we’ve been suffering in poverty for a long time. Now that we have money, we shouldn’t make ourselves suffer anymore. Later on, let’s eat, drink and live a happy life for a few days.”

When Zhao Lan saw Hu Changlin didn’t treat them like outsiders, her heart has eased a lot. She smiled and then said: “What Hu Dage said is right, we adults have been suffering for a long time, so we shouldn’t let the children also suffer.” Zhao Lan looked at everyone around her. Her eyes looked gentle and misty, but also looked as sweet as a honey.

In the Bai Family.

Mrs. Liu put a pot of braised pork on the table and a bowl of gruel to each person.

The Bai family was sitting around the table, Bai Dazhu has injured arms, so he could only wait for Mrs. Liu to feed him. Mrs. Liu fed herself and fed Bai Dazhu after. Bai Dazhu screamed and ordered Mrs. Liu to feed him fast. He was afraid that if he ate slowly, his second younger brother will eat all the meat.

Deep inside her heart, Mrs. Liu also want to hurry. She hasn’t even eaten two mouthfuls of a spoon, but the pot of braised pork has already reached the bottom. Bai Erzhu desperately put meat in his bowl, but he didn’t forget to pick some meat for his son, Bai Fugui.

Bai Dabao and Bai Xiaofeng haven’t taken their share. But at the moment, all the braise pork almost disappeared. Old Lady Bai was very selfish. Her bowl was full of meat, but still, she didn’t forget to put a meat on her mouth from the pot.

Mrs. Liu became anxious. She stretched out her chopsticks to pick up the last piece of braised pork in the pot. But, when she was about to put it in her mouth, Bai Dazhu shouted at her again: “Where are you trying to put it? My mouth is here.”
