Chapter 438: Snooping for news
Early the next morning, there was a rhythmic knock on the door of Xia Mansion.
Hua Zhuer opened the door and welcomed Uncle Wang in.
He brought a bucket of fresh milk, looked around the yard, rubbed his hands and said, "Girl Hua, I want to see your girl for something."
"Uncle Wang, please go to the front hall and wait for a while. I'll call you right away."
Hua Zhuer went to pick up the milk pail on the ground, but Uncle Wang stopped her and said, "You little girl is not very strong. Let me, the old man, come over. You can tell me where you want to put it."
"I can do it!" Hua Zhu'er has thin arms and legs, but with one hand, she can easily pick up a bucket of milk and walk in with a relaxed pace, "Uncle Wang, come with me."

When the two came to the yard, Xia Qianqian was doing the eighth set of radio gymnastics in the yard.
"Xia Yatou." Uncle Wang stepped forward and said, "I have bought all the soybeans and mung beans you asked me to help buy. They are all placed in the cold storage in the west wing."
Uncle Wang's eyes began to shine again, "Girl, do you want to continue to build the tofu shop?"
Xia Qianqian shook her head, "Instead of a tofu shop, I want to open a hot and sour noodle shop."
Hot and sour noodles?
Neither Uncle Wang nor Hua Zhuer have heard of this word.
"Similar to rice noodles, the material is mung beans."
"Open a store?" Uncle Wang really didn't expect that the little girl in front of him would become so successful in a short period of time.
Planted large tracts of cotton, raised dairy cows, opened a milk tea shop, and now want to open a hot and sour noodle shop.
"Then..." Uncle Wang looked at the exquisite little courtyard in front of him and said excitedly: "If there is anything you can use my old man for, just say it."
"Okay!"
Xia Qianqian's face remained as usual as she explained: "Uncle Wang, the cattle farm in Fu'an Village is my most important property at this stage. I will hand it over to you and I hope you can help me keep it safe."
"Don't worry about this!"
Uncle Wang assured us: "Lao Tiantou and I will do our duty. And Liu Erniu, he will be guarding the road in front of the door early in the morning, not letting any strangers approach."
Liu Erniu.
That guy is actually a good guard.
"But..." Uncle Wang laughed again, "Aunt Wang thought he was a demon at first, but since she found out that you gave Liu Erniu a bowl of milk every day, she stopped caring about him."
In the countryside, a bowl of milk is precious to everyone.
Liu Erniu gets into trouble all day long, and Aunt Wang looks at him every day, fearing that he will have to pay other people's money again.
Now, instead of losing money, she had income, so she was naturally happy.
Uncle Wang rambled for a while and then asked cautiously: "Actually, Lao Tiantou asked me to ask something."
"What?"
"I heard that the person behind the poisoning of his cows was caught. She was a nun from Luofu. I wonder how the government will sentence her? Will she be able to repay his cow money?"
Xia Qianqian frowned but said nothing.
Uncle Wang didn't know what she was thinking, so he hurriedly explained: "Girl, Lao Tiantou is grateful to you for lending a hand to his family when it was most difficult and helping him. But he really doesn't want to have your cow. He just wants to catch it."
I found the bad guy and compensated him for his losses, so the matter was settled perfectly."
"I understand what you mean!"
That day, she was also present when Gong Xiaoba arrested Nanny Liu.
Aunt Liu has been complaining. If she is wronged, then the mastermind behind the scenes must be Luo Hong’s wife Miao Manli.
Now, Luo Hong is dead, and the murder suspect is Zhang Xiaohua.
Miao Manli has completely wiped out all the dirty things she had done. Now she has become a victim. How can people doubt her?
"Uncle Wang, you go back and tell Uncle Tian that my promise counts, so that he won't have any psychological burden. As for solving the case, that is a matter for the General's Office. The General will definitely give him a satisfactory answer and let him
Don't be anxious."
Uncle Wang believes that Xia Qianqian climbed up a high branch and was able to have a few words with Mr. Cao with Mr. Mo by her side.
Seeing her say this, I understood in my heart.
In this matter, he went too far.
"The old man knows. Girl Xia, don't take it to heart." When the words came, he turned around and left.
"Let's go after breakfast!" Xia Qianqian persuaded her to stay.
Uncle Wang waved his hand, "No need, I ate it when I came from home."
He was a little embarrassed to stay any longer.
Unexpectedly, in the kitchen, Li Yunniang heard that he was about to leave, so she hurried out, stood under the eaves, and shouted: "Uncle Wang, today I steamed wild vegetables and mushroom buns and cooked millet porridge, all of which are your favorite things. Come on!
Wash your hands and eat soon."
"But I..." Uncle Wang still wanted to refuse, but Li Yunniang didn't give him a chance. "After you wash your hands, help me move the sauerkraut jar. I want to fish for sauerkraut, but the jar is too heavy to move."
Upon hearing that there was still work to do, Uncle Wang finally found a reason to stay.
"Okay, where is the sauerkraut jar? I'll wash my hands after moving it."
"In the kitchen, come and help me move to the stool aside."
"Okay!"
Uncle Wang came forward cheerfully.
Hua Zhu'er on the side was very puzzled. She moved closer to Xia Qianqian and said to herself: "Girl, I put the pickled cabbage jar in the corner when I got up in the morning. If you want to move it, just let me go alone. Why bother an old man."
”
"You!" Upon hearing this, Xia Qianqian pointed her finger at Hua Zhuer's forehead, burst into laughter, and turned back to the house to change clothes.
Hua Zhuer was stunned at the moment and asked puzzledly: "Am I right?"
This is the first time that Uncle Wang has come to the Xia family's house in Jiangcheng to have a meal.
In just a few months, the Xia family has undergone earth-shaking changes. Sitting in the spacious front hall, in front of the large round table made of solid red wood, Uncle Wang looked at this and that.
He was amazed in his heart, and for a moment he was nervous and didn't know where to put his hands.
Li Yunniang served the yellow rice porridge and handed it to him, and then handed a plate of wild vegetable buns to him, "Uncle Wang, you're welcome, eat it quickly!"
"This wild vegetable was picked from the green hills last time Qianqian returned to the village. I blanched it, squeezed it into a ball, and put it in the cold storage in the cellar. The taste has not changed at all. Try it, it's very fresh!"<
/p>
"Okay!" Uncle Wang picked up the bun and took a bite.
The taste is still the same, but this bun is not only filled with wild vegetables, but also meat filling.
The flavors of meat and wild vegetables and mushrooms are fully integrated, which is really mouth-watering.
“Delicious!”
"It's delicious. Eat more. There are a few buns left. Why don't you bring them to Lao Tiantou when you go back? He helps guard the cattle farm. It's really hard work."
"Thank you so much, wife of the Xia family..."
"Uncle Wang, you are too polite again..."
The two of them were chatting, while the others were immersed in eating happily with their fingers moving.
After the meal, Xia Qianqian sent Uncle Wang to the gate, took out a piece of paper from her sleeve and handed it to her, "Uncle Wang, please help me see where there is a place selling this kind of casserole in Jiangcheng?"

"You want to buy casseroles. I have two unused at home. If you don't mind, I will bring them to you another day."
Xia Qianqian smiled, "Two are not enough, I need a lot, hundreds."
