Da Bao then looked at the last person in the courtyard who was waiting to pay the rent. Before he could speak, that person spoke first, “Da Bao, Fifth Uncle left in a hurry when he came and forgot if the number on the scale was correct. Why don’t you allow Fifth Uncle to go back and take a look?”
After seeing the lesson of third uncle Qin, he no longer dared to look down on Da Bao. In order not to follow in the footsteps of third uncle Qin, he thickened his face and intended to correct his mistake.
When Da Bao heard this, how could he not know what was going on? he sneered secretly in his heart, but he still said with a smile on his face, “Fifth Uncle, you’ve saved me a lot of trouble. It’s my duty to investigate, but I can’t stop you if you want to investigate yourself first.”
“Yes, yes. Then Fifth Uncle will go back first. You’re busy, so there’s no need to send me off.”
When the man came in, he didn’t bring any food with him, which saved him a lot of trouble. As long as he left empty-handed, he could still save some face.
It was not until the courtyard had quieted down that the four babies in the house came out one after another.
San Bao took the lead and walked around Da Bao twice. He clicked his tongue in admiration and said, “Eldest brother, your mouth really knows how to talk. Pointing at the mulberry and scolding the locust, pointing east and west, pointing at the deer as a horse, pointing at the pixiu. In any case, even a dead person can be fooled by you. No wonder you want to go into business in the future.”
“I think you’ll definitely be a first-class profiteer in the future!”
“Go, go, go, you’re the profiteer!”
Da Bao said unhappily, “Mother said it before. She would rather betray the world than teach the world to betray me! I do business to make money, who would do business that would lose money!”
“He wants to take advantage of me, Da Bao. Tsk, if I don’t make him lose all his underwear, I’ll be letting down my mother’s teachings!”
As soon as Da Bao’s voice fell, a voice came from outside the door, “Well said, he’s the son I raised!”
Mo Ruyue walked in from outside the courtyard, carrying a wild boar on her shoulder and dragging a large, coarse cloth bag in her hand.
She had just come back from preparing the mountain goods and had been listening outside the door for a while. Although she didn’t see the whole process of the incident, she could roughly guess what had happened after hearing Da Bao’s words.
It was nothing more than a story of a tenant who wanted to take advantage of the new owner by unscrupulous means. But now it seemed that Da Bao had handled it well.
“Mother, you’re back!”
Da Bao turned around and saw her. He immediately showed a big smile.
His mother had just praised him!
This was the best reward for Da Bao, which meant that he had passed the test smoothly.
“Well, we’ll have barbecued meat tonight. I’ll leave the pig’s brain for you. It’ll nourish your brain.”
“Yes,” Da Bao responded happily. Then he felt that something seemed to be wrong with that sentence, but he couldn’t figure out what it was.
“Stop eavesdropping and come out to help me with my work,” Mo Ruyue said to the babies.
As soon as the door opened, the three babies ran out with smiles on their faces, and Er Bao followed them slowly.
The family laughed and chatted as they got busy. After a while, a huge wild boar was divided into a pile of meat.
“San Bao, go and give Grandma Liu a piece of streaky pork and a plate of pork ribs.”
Mo Ruyue pointed at the meat that had been divided and asked San Bao to send the meat to the Liu family.
“Alright!”
San Bao responded and went to get the meat. He carried the pork belly in his left hand and the pork ribs in his right hand. The two items added up to a few dozen pounds, but in his hands, it was like carrying a piece of straw. It wasn’t difficult at all.
“Mother, I’ll go with San Bao. I’ll be back soon!”
Da Bao threw away the marinating meat in his hand and ran out without waiting for Mo Ruyue’s reply.
Mo Ruyue wasn’t annoyed. When she saw that Tang Tang was about to take over her job, she immediately stopped her. “Tang Tang, have you finished your work?”
“Not yet. I thought that since we’ll be applying marinating sauce anyway, I’ll help Second Brother make his share.”
Tang Tang shook her head. She was keenly aware that her mother didn’t seem to want her to do this.
“You should finish your work first. It’s not far from Grandma Liu’s house, so it won’t take long.”
Mo Ruyue shook her head. Although it was good that the babies had the awareness to help each other, sometimes it also depended on the situation. She couldn’t let them develop the irresponsible idea that they could leave their own things behind just because someone could help them.
Soon, Da Bao came back. He saw that everyone was busy with their own things, and his pot of meat was still there without anyone’s help. He couldn’t help but complain.
“Why isn’t anyone helping? When the charcoal is ready, the meat isn’t marinated yet. What are we going to use to roast it? ”
“Da Bao, was San Bao unable to move the meat just now?”
Mo Ruyue was making charcoal in the charcoal basin and was preparing to transfer it to the self-made grill. She turned around and asked when she heard Da Bao’s complaint.
“No, I was just thinking that it would be faster if I helped him.”
For a moment, Da Bao didn’t know why his mother would ask such a question. He touched the back of his head as he spoke.
“Since you don’t need help and you’ve left behind what you should be doing, why would others help you? Don’t they have their own things to do?”
Mo Ruyue’s question was more direct this time. Da Bao finally understood what the problem was.
“Mother, I’m sorry. I’ll be more careful next time.”
He immediately apologized to Mo Ruyue.
His mother was right. Everyone had their own things to do. He put down what he should do and helped those who didn’t need help. It was wrong to let others help him do what he should.
“Mother isn’t picking on your faults, it’s just that once some small things become a habit, it will always make a big mistake at some time in the future.”
Mo Ruyue would now correct the babies’ behavior in some small details. Although she had said that she would not restrain their personalities and would let them grow up freely, it did not mean that she would let them grow up wildly.
“Alright, it’s not a big deal. There’s still time. Hurry up and get the meat ready. The charcoal will be ready in a while.”
After seeing Da Bao’s attitude, Mo Ruyue nodded slightly and didn’t continue to pester him on this matter. She immediately led his babies to continue working.
The wild boar meat, which had been processed with special marinating, didn’t have any earthy taste at all. Only the chewiness and freshness that were about to melt in the mouth remained.
Each of the five babies was holding a bunch of meat skewers in their hands. Each of them ate until their mouths were full of oil. They didn’t even have the time to talk. They only wished they could swallow their tongues together.
“Mother, why does the wild boar meat taste different every time? Even when roasted, the taste is different. Is it because of the heat control?”
Si Bao did not forget to ask why he was eating. He was already the number one head chef in his family and would become the number one divine chef in the world in the future. Therefore, anything that involved eating would pique his interest.
