Chapter 22 Making a Merit
First, give Wu Jin enough pan-fried dumplings, and then mix them with a simple sauce using chopped green onion, balsamic vinegar, and sesame oil. Xia Mingyue began to feast on them.
The skin of the pan-fried dumplings is thin and chewy, and the bottom is extremely crispy due to frying. When you bite it, it squeaks and makes a pleasant sound, adding to your appetite.
The carrot, fungus, egg and vermicelli filling is fragrant and refreshing, and you will never get tired of eating it. If you hadn’t been thinking about not eating too much for dinner, otherwise you would be unwell after overeating, Xia Mingyue would have really wanted to make another big plate right now. It’s better to stuff them all into your own stomach.
Wu Jin was also very satisfied with the pan-fried dumplings made by Xia Mingyue, and even reluctant to take big bites to swallow them. He would only bite one at a time and chew it slowly in his mouth until all of it was swallowed. After going down, go eat the next one.
After eating, he licked the earthen pot clean as usual.
As if washed with water.
Xia Mingyue stretched out her hand and rubbed Wu Jin's head, "I'm afraid you won't be able to eat enough of these things. Tomorrow I will steam a large pot of Erhe noodle buns for you, and bring back some bones from the butcher shop. You eat. ”
The former is filling, the latter is flavorful.
Having both, he can definitely make the now skinny Wu Jin fatter.
If you say that, then I won’t be sleepy anymore!
Wu Jin jumped up and down happily, and even barked "woof" several times.
Sure enough, there is nothing wrong with this place!
People who cook delicious food are kind people!
You must stay in this home forever and protect it well!
Therefore, even late at night, Wu Jin did not lie down and sleep comfortably in his nest. Instead, he stared back and forth in the yard with his head held high and his chest wide open.
When he was ugly, Wu Jin was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, so he sat down at the base of the south wall. After a big yawn, he lay down on the spot and squinted for a while.
There was a sudden rustling sound.
From far to near, and the closer you get, the lower the frequency of the sound.
Wu Jin pricked up his ears, and when he realized that the sound was getting closer, he simply stood up.
After a moment, a figure appeared outside the courtyard gate.
The skinny and short figure walked furtively back and forth for several steps outside, and even peered inside for a long time at the top of the wall and the fence gate.
When he discovered that there was no one in the alley and there was no movement in the courtyard, the black figure climbed over the wall very quickly and entered.
First he squatted at the base of the wall and waited for a moment. When he noticed that there was nothing unusual, he followed the base of the wall and tiptoed inward.
First he sneaked into the kitchen and rummaged around.
But after a long time, I couldn't find the kitchen knife, so I had to pick up the rolling pin that was about half a person's height in the kitchen, then took out the objects in my arms and tapped them gently on the floor of the kitchen.
Those who have money at home will usually bury it underground to avoid thieves.
Most people bury the money in the earthen kang in the house, but some people bury the money in the courtyard to prevent thieves from guessing.
Under the roots of the tree, inside the kitchen...
This Xia family is doing a small business, and the small business is pretty good. He is a smart person, so he will definitely follow the rules of the smart person. People think about things.
Most of this money is buried outside.
The short black shadow searched inside the kitchen for a long time, even digging out all the plant ashes inside the stove, but still found nothing. Finally, he set his sights on the plant in the yard. On the almond tree.
The apricot blossom trees are tall, and the soil at the roots of the apricot blossom trees seems to be a little soft.
It must be here!
The shadow did not hesitate at all, and ran straight to the apricot tree. He took out the small masonry knife that had been prepared from his arms and began to dig carefully under the roots of the tree. As he was planing, the masonry knife seemed to hit something hard and made a slight "ding" sound.
Don’t think about it, it must be silver!
Heiying's face was full of joy, and he dug the soil harder and harder. He was afraid that the masonry knife would accidentally damage the silver coins, so he simply dug the soft soil with his bare hands.
Wu Jin quietly walked behind the black shadow.
Just as the black shadow was poking out its big butt and digging the soil like a rabbit, it opened its big mouth full of sharp teeth, aimed at the man's butt, and bit it down.
The weather has been getting hotter these days, and even the nights are no longer as cold as they were at the beginning of the month. Naturally, the clothes he wears are not too thick. Wu Jin’s bite used a lot of strength and penetrated all the clothes. His fangs Straight into the skin and flesh.
Blood instantly flowed out along Wu Jin's teeth and mouth.
The black figure, after a brief moment of confusion, felt a heart-pounding pain and screamed uncontrollably.
The screams were horrifying and shrill, piercing the sky and waking up the night and the sleeping people.
Xia Mingyue woke up immediately, almost jumped out of bed, quickly put on her coat, picked up the kitchen knife placed beside the bed, and first looked through the window to see what was going on outside.
Xia Mingyue suddenly understood when she saw a black figure being bitten by Wu Jin, rolling and howling on the ground, and kicking Wu Jin with his hands and feet.
There is a thief in the house!
Xia Mingyue opened the door with a bang and shouted loudly, "Come quickly, there is a thief, come and catch the thief!"
The previous shouts of the black shadow had already awakened people. Many people in Xinghua Lane were attracted, but most of them didn't want to go out to watch the excitement when they didn't understand what happened. When they heard Xia Mingyue shouting about the thief, someone lit the oil lamp in their home.
“Where is the thief?”
Mrs. Lu led Zhao Dahu and Zhao Erhu to run over first, holding a large rolling pin as tall as half a person in his hand.
"You two quickly go to the street to find the government officials." Xia Mingyue said hurriedly.
Jinqiu County does not implement a curfew at night, but the government officers patrol in shifts to ensure the safety of the people.
Zhao Dahu and Zhao Erhu understood and ran out.
Xia Mingyue picked up the rolling pin in the kitchen and looked for an opportunity with Lu to beat up the thief.
But at this moment, Wu Jin bit the man tightly, and the man struggled with Wu Jin. It would be extremely easy to hurt Wu Jin with a stick.
Mr. Lu circled around several times, but she didn't dare to make a move.
Xia Mingyue saw the opportunity and shouted, "Wu Jin, let go."
When Wu Jin heard Xia Mingyue's order, he must have let go and even retreated quickly. Withdrawing, Xia Mingyue's and Lu's rolling pins fell at the same time.
“Bang!”
First there was the sound of the rolling pin falling on the skin, and then there was a crisp "click" sound like a broken bone.
The shadow covered his legs again and howled like a killing pig.
Seeing that the thief had huddled up in pain and had no ability to escape, Xia Mingyue stopped Lu who was about to hit him with a stick again, "Sister-in-law, this person is also stealing. If he is beaten out I'm afraid the Yamen will pursue him."
"If you steal someone else's life-saving money, it's like killing someone. Such a person should be beaten to death!" Although Mrs. Lu hates thieves very much, but Also knowing that what Xia Mingyue said was very reasonable, she put the rolling pin in her hand on the ground.
Zhao Dahu and Zhao Erhu quickly brought over several government officials who patrolled the streets.
