Chapter 135: Chapter 127: It’s Drawn_3

Last time, since she owed him such a big favor, she wanted to make some sausages to send to him. There was also Zhang Zhongkun’s family, whom Old woman Qian was very grateful to for their great help.

In the afternoon, Huang Tie bought back pork and pig small intestines.

Lady Wu looked at the basket of goods in surprise and said, "The sun must have risen from the west, as Yixiu actually spent her own money to improve the family’s diet with meat. But it’s true, when you have money, you should buy useful things." She then laughed and added, "The meat can be preserved and eaten gradually; just stew the pig small intestines for tonight’s dinner."

Qian Yixiu quickly said, "This isn’t for eating right now. I’ve come up with another delicious thing, and I’ll let you all taste it when I’ve made it."

Having said that, she called her little aunt, Qian Xiaoyu, and Qian Xiaofeng into the kitchen. She instructed them thoroughly and then watched them work. Lady Wu came into the kitchen, saw them bustling about, and started to fret with a frown, "Child, why are you so wasteful? These are good ingredients, what a pity."

"I bought this with my own money, and I want to do this with it," Qian Yixiu said coyly.

Lady Wu had no way to deal with her granddaughter and, after a few complaints, left them to it.

They cleaned the intestines, removed unwanted fat and meat, scraped the casings, soaked them, and then cut the meat properly and seasoned it. It was time for dinner.

At the dinner table, Lady Wu began to nag again, claiming that Qian Yixiu didn’t understand thriftiness, and if she developed this habit, it wouldn’t bode well for her future marital home.

Cheng Yue almost burst into tears upon hearing this and pouted, "Yixiu is so pretty; she will definitely marry into a good family."

Qian Yeejin also said, "Grandma, don’t worry. With me as her brother, my sister will surely find a good family to marry into."

How thick-skinned was Qian Yixiu? She laughed and said, "Grandma really worries too much. A girl as beautiful and clever as Yixiu is hard to find even with a lantern. When the time comes, every family with a daughter will be sought after by many, and Grandma can just wait to be overwhelmed by the choices."

Everyone at the table laughed out loud at this, Qian Manxia laughing so hard she exclaimed in delight.

Lady Wu was both amused and annoyed, and she slapped her playfully, saying, "Oh dear, what are we going to do? This girl, her face is so thick."

After dinner, Qian Yixiu started leading the sausage stuffing. The small bamboo tubes were previously sawed by Huang Tie for this purpose.

Once the sausages were stuffed, they were hung under the eaves. She said they would be ready to eat in seven days.

Lady Wu, who had been pouting all this time, began to take a fancy to the finished sausages, remarking, "Look, these sausages are bright red and shiny; makes you think they must be delicious."

Just after the sausages were filled, Dashan and Monkey Brother returned. Monkey Brother was covered in mud, his red fur turned yellow, and had been carried back by Dashan. Qian Yixiu said displeased, "Look at your fur; now you look even more like Dashan’s son than Benben and Tiaotiao."

Monkey Brother paid no attention to Qian Yixiu’s sarcastic comment and jumped straight into her arms. Qian Yixiu screamed, "Dirty..."

Before she could finish her sentence, it was caught in her throat. What was it that Monkey Brother held in his hand? It looked somewhat like a yellow and white radish with many whiskers...

She screamed again, "Ah, Monkey Brother, Dashan, hahaha..."

From inside the house, Lady Wu’s scolding voice could be heard, "Yixiu, what’s all this noise late at night? Don’t scare people."

Qian Yixiu rushed into their bedroom and said to Qian Sangui on the bed, "Grandfather, look, Ginseng that Monkey Brother and Dashan brought back. I’ve seen it at Baohe Hall; it’s worth a lot of money."

Upon seeing it, Qian Sangui took his time before saying, "This monkey really is something. How did it know that Ginseng is valuable and decided to bring it back?" He looked closely at the Ginseng in his granddaughter’s hands and said, "It’s a pity, some of the roots are broken; otherwise, it would be worth even more."

Qian Yixiu laughed and said, "I let it smell the Ginseng in Grandfather’s medicine and told it if it ever found something with that smell to bring it home."

Lady Wu exclaimed in amazement, "Monkey Brother just smelled a Ginseng slice and dug up a big Ginseng root? My goodness, this is simply miraculous."

Hearing Qian Yixiu’s laughter, Qian Manxia and Qian Yijin both came over. Seeing that Monkey Brother and Dashan had again brought back Ginseng for the family, they were thrilled.

Lady Wu said with a laugh, "I’m going to steam a minced meat and egg custard for Monkey Brother, and cook a pot of radish and lard rice for Dashan."

Seeing Dashan’s eager eyes following her, Qian Yixiu laughed and said, "Don’t worry, Dashan, I’ll definitely make good on my promise. Tomorrow, I’ll go to the county town to get copper collars for Benben and Tiaotiao." Seeing Monkey Brother also watching her, she continued, "And I’ll get a copper collar for Monkey Brother too. Then I’ll have my aunt and Sister Xiaoyu make beautiful new clothes for the families of Benben, Tiaotiao, and Monkey Brother."

Upon hearing this, Dashan finally relaxed and affectionately played with the two children.

Qian Manxia said with a laugh, "It’s not just Monkey Brother becoming a spirit; even Dashan has turned into one."
