Chapter 43 - 43 42 Ditching
?Chapter 43: Chapter 42: Ditching Chapter 43: Chapter 42: Ditching To ensure a better taste, he didn’t stew the meat overnight but waited until he got up early the next day to do it. Since the water tank contained Yan Chenxiang wood, Chen Afu was afraid the stewed meat might acquire an off taste, so he specifically set aside a bucket of water separately.
Waking up early, he stewed the meat and large intestines. After having some for breakfast, he left a bit for Chen Ming to eat at midday, taking the majority with him.
Chen Ming also got up early, worried. He wanted to accompany Chen Afu. But Chen Afu didn’t dare to let him get tired. Although his health had improved, he still shouldn’t overexert himself. Only when he was convinced to bring Jin Yanzi along did he feel relieved. He also instructed Chen Afu to go to Xile Restaurant. Although it ranked second among the wine-shops in Sanqing County, its prices were fair, and it didn’t bully the common people.
Seeing that Jin Yanzi was going, Qi Qi and Hui Hui insisted on following. Chen Afu had no choice but to keep them in the basket, not allowing them to fly around, and he also cautioned them not to talk, lest they attract unwanted attention.
After placing them in the basket and covering it with cloth, Chen Afu, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, carried the basket with the stewed meat, while Chen Dabao carried the basket with the small birds, heading to the village entrance to take Mr. Gao’s donkey cart.
It was market day, and many people were carrying items to sell in the county town.
The aroma of the stewed meat was mouthwatering, but the people in the cart didn’t dare ask Chen Afu. Instead, they asked Chen Dabao, “What’s in your basket that smells so good?”
Chen Dabao said, “It’s meat stewed by my mom; we’re taking it to sell in the county town.”
