Chapter 68 Who's Talking?
The cucumbers and tomatoes in the field have already started to be planted with stakes, and the cucumbers have already bloomed with small yellow flowers, which looks very pleasing.
"Little sister, how long will it take for this tomato to bloom?" Wen Ziming asked her while catching insects.
These days, after checking on the potatoes, he comes here to loosen the soil and catch the bugs.
Fortunately, these things are doing well and growing better every day.
And the fruit trees too, they grew so tall in just a few days! I don't know what good stuff his sister gave him, it made them grow so much after just one use.
Wen Luozhi plucked a branch and leaves and replied, "It should only take three or four days."
She noticed that several plants had already started to sprout flower buds, so she decided to spray some growth hormone on them tonight.
If you spray it every day, the tomatoes can be harvested by the end of the month, and the cucumbers should be ready even earlier.
The litter of rabbits that we picked up from the mountain before has grown a lot. Now, Xiaohu is the only child at home, and he spends his days feeding the rabbits by the fence. The litter of rabbits looks like little balls of fluff after being fed by him.
The little wolf was always staring at the rabbit's burrow, drooling, his wet eyes revealing his longing for rabbit meat.
When Wen Luozhi returned from the backyard, she saw it squatting like a hen by the rabbit's burrow, with suspicious liquid at the corner of its mouth.
She picked it up and poked its round belly, saying, "I haven't treated you badly all day long, so don't even think about taking my rabbit; I'm saving it to sell for money."
DouDou angrily turned the wolf's head away and glared at Wen Luozhi.
Hmph, it's just a few little rabbits! I'll go up the mountain one day and chase a whole bunch of wild boars down for you.
Wen Luozhi: !!!
She glanced around in alarm, then lifted the wolf cub by the scruff of its neck, staring into its eyes and asking, "DouDou, were you the one who just spoke?!"
Wen Luozhi thought she might be hallucinating. How could this thing talk? It was an animal, after all.
And why would anyone want to chase wild boars down the mountain for her? She usually just eats when her eyes are open and sleeps when her eyes are closed.
He turned his head and gave her a disapproving look. "Look at you, looking down on wolves! You wait, I'll go up the mountain right now and catch a wild boar for you!"
After saying that, it broke free from Wen Luozhi's grasp and ran towards the road leading into the mountains. Wen Luozhi was still in the same position as when she was holding the wolf, staring blankly at her empty hands.
Good heavens, it really is the little wolf talking!
She realized what was happening and tried to chase after it, but she didn't see a single wolf hair.
She sat and waited for a while, thinking that the little wolf must have gone out to play. She didn't really expect it to bring back a herd of wild boars for her.
After waiting for a while, she got too lazy to wait any longer and simply went to the backyard to continue working. Anyway, it would grow bigger all of a sudden, so there shouldn't be any problems. If anything were to happen, it would be someone else's problem.
After finishing all the work in the fields, Wen Luozhi returned but still couldn't find Dou Dou's wolf. She moved a small stool and sat at the gate of the yard, coloring a wooden panda carving in her hand, glancing at the path leading up the mountain every now and then.
The panda wood carving in her hand was quickly finished with coloring, and Wen Luozhi couldn't get enough of looking at it.
This is so realistic! She really loves it! She's almost reluctant to put it in her shop.
Inside the room, Wen Zizhong's hands were still deftly turning over a piece of wood. A couple of days ago, his sister had drawn many new patterns for him, and he had a feeling that they would sell if he made them.
By the time the sun had set, Wen Luozhi still hadn't seen Dou Dou return. She held the list the village chief had given her and looked at it several times, thinking that apart from the few she often encountered, she didn't know any of the others.
We'll have to wait until tomorrow to see how they perform after they've done their work. But the village chief has been in charge of the village for decades, so the people he's chosen shouldn't be a big problem.
Old Zhao's oxcart stopped at the gate of the courtyard. Xie He had just jumped off the cart when he saw Wen Luozhi sitting at the gate.
She ran over and excitedly grabbed her hand, saying, "Honey, we got a big deal today!"
Today, a maid from a wealthy family came to the shop to buy snacks. She left for a short while but then returned with her mistress.
The lady tasted all the snacks and dishes in the shop and asked if she had any other delicious and novel dishes that could be served.
She quickly replied that she did, and then went into the kitchen and made several more dishes.
In the end, the noblewoman was very satisfied and said that her family was having a housewarming banquet in a couple of days and asked them to cook a meal for her.
She pulled Wen Luozhi into the house and showed her the money bag, saying, "Look, this is the deposit that lady gave us."
Wen Luozhi was also pleasantly surprised; the deposit for this meal looked like it could equal what they earned in several days.
"My dear daughter, the few things I know are far from enough! You need to teach me a few more, because the lady will be coming to draft the menu the day after tomorrow."
Today, the noblewoman simply told her family to think carefully about what good dishes to make. She would pay for the groceries, but she would come to inspect the final product the day after tomorrow.
Wen Luozhi nodded in agreement. Wealthy families are very particular about things, and they don't behave like this on ordinary days, let alone when something happens at home. They would definitely want things that can show off their status.
That night she thought about it carefully. It's just a menu, she has plenty of those. Xie He is very quick to learn, she'll definitely be able to learn it soon.
Just as she was about to go into the kitchen to cook, Wen Zizhou's loud voice came from the yard: "Little sister! Little sister! Your dog! Your little white dog!"
Wen Luozhi took off running and almost bumped into Wen Zizhou who rushed in.
"Little sister! Your dog chased a lot of wild boars into the village!" Wen Zizhou said breathlessly.
When he came back, he needed to urinate, so he jumped off the oxcart to find a place to go. When he returned, he heard a lot of noise coming from the direction of the mountain.
He was terrified, thinking wolves had entered the mountains. Just as he was about to run home, he saw several wild boars coming towards the village.
He hid behind a tree and observed for a while. He saw a small white thing following behind the wild boar. The wild boar followed whichever direction the white thing ran.
As he got closer, he realized that the little thing was actually his family's little white dog! He found it unbelievable and quickly took a shortcut back.
Wen Zi'an and his brothers also came in, and seeing Wen Luozhi's panicked expression, they exclaimed, "Sister, the puppy!"
Wen Zian didn't know how to describe the scene he saw; he was so excited that his face turned red and he couldn't speak.
Wen Zixun pushed him away and said excitedly, "Sister, come and see! That little brat DouDou has chased a bunch of wild boars into the village and they're heading towards our house! Lots of people are following behind to watch the excitement!"
That's amazing! He usually just thought his sister's dog seemed a little different, with a clever and quick-witted air about it, but he never imagined it was so amazing! No wonder it's his sister's dog!
Wen Luozhi ran out as fast as she could. Dou Dou was already chasing the wild boar and was almost at their yard gate, followed by a long line of curious villagers, some of whom were even carrying bowls.
