Chapter 78 Are they sick?
Speaking of which, Bai Tao was also wondering why Bai Shitou could always sell the stones he gave her for money. Could it have something to do with his name?

Bai Tao was right. Bai Shitou was indeed interested in stones because of his name.

After she became interested in stones last time, Bai Shitou became more interested in things like stones and pebbles.

At this time, Bai Tao didn't know that her unintentional action would make Bai Shitou an expert in this field.

Of course, this is a follow-up.

At this moment, Bai Shitou shook his head: "I want my aunt to be happy."

I don’t know if it’s because he’s been eating nutritious food recently, but Bai Shitou’s speech isn’t as halting as before, and his little face has become a lot rounder.

Hearing this, Bai Tao couldn't help but laugh: "You are not young, but you are quite good at making people happy."

Bai Shitou was only three years old and didn't know anything, but when he saw Bai Tao laughing, he laughed too.

He smiled sweetly, revealing the dimples on his cheeks, which made Bai Tao unable to help but reach out and poke him: "You should smile more often, you are so cute when you smile."

Bai Shitou nodded shyly and responded obediently: "I'll listen to you."

Not far away, Bai Xiaocao watched and felt both happy and sad.

The sadness is that I feel like I have told my brother many times that he doesn't like to laugh, but whenever I tell him, he listens.

I am happy because my aunt likes my younger brother. My aunt is so blessed. My ancestors’ graves would be filled with joy to be liked by her.

The villagers next to them saw Bai Tao smile and also curled up their lips. That’s great, as long as the aunt is happy.

Digging stones?

We have experience in this. We just ate too much at dinner, so we can do some exercise.

So, the next scene left the stalkers dumbfounded.

The people in Heifeng Village never imagined that this group of people would not rest late at night and would carry hoes and pickaxes to dig stones along the official road.

After digging, they loaded it onto a truck. After a while, they took it down and dumped it on the side of the road.

As the distance was far, the people on watch could not see clearly. They only saw that baskets of stones were loaded onto the carts, and then taken out and thrown away.

The person who was following him became more and more confused.

No, they are sick, right?

You've got to do this in the middle of the night. Don't you have too much energy and nowhere to use it?
After seeing the end, the people in Black Wind Village began to doubt whether there were good things in the other carts.

Bai Tao looked at the constantly jumping balance and smiled with her eyes narrowed.

There is strength in numbers, and in just over two hours, they had already carried away more than 20,000 kilograms.

The villagers put the excavated stones into frames and loaded them onto carts. The mall will automatically peel off the ochre, and what remains are useless stones.

By daybreak, most of the ochre had been dug out.

Bai Tao woke up with sleepy eyes and was shocked when she saw the number. Seven hundred and sixty-five thousand four hundred and thirty-seven point eight kilograms? !

Even though the unit price is not high, the quantity is large.

After leaving the mudslide for three days, this was the biggest profit we made.

Yesterday and the day before yesterday we made around 30,000 to 50,000 yuan each. Some villagers accidentally picked some poisonous mushrooms and sold them at a high price because a scientific research institution wanted to buy them.

No matter what it is, as long as it is labeled as research, the price will become high.

Bai Tao didn't ask the villagers to dig ochre all night, but she couldn't resist their enthusiasm.

In the words of the villagers, it only takes two or three people from each household an hour to dig.

Everyone was working so hard, but she, as an old lady, was sleeping soundly. Bai Tao suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Hey, aunt." Bai Duoxi got up very early. He also went to dig stones for half an hour yesterday.

No one asked him to go, he just wanted to go since he had nothing to do anyway.

"Everyone has worked hard all night. You should make something delicious."

Bai Duoxi: “Yes.”

Originally, Bai Duoxi thought that just millet porridge, boiled eggs, and some stir-fried pork and onions would be good enough.

But Bai Tao shook her head.

"Let's have some fried multi-grain cakes as the staple food. We're tired after working all night, so we need to eat some meat to replenish our energy. The cumin lamb you made last time was pretty good. Let's make some lamb soup. Oh, and eggs are a must."

As soon as breakfast came out of the pot, the villagers were moved again. It was just digging some stones, not difficult, and there was nothing to be gained.

In the past, when people were not busy with farming, they would go to the town to find odd jobs. They could only earn seven or eight copper coins a day, and the food they got was just watery corn porridge.

The villagers had no idea that Bai Tao loved to eat meat, and since they earned so much for her, she certainly couldn't be too picky about her food.

This breakfast in Taohua Village once again made the people who were stalking in Heifeng Village drool with envy.

No, where did this caravan come from? Are they so rich?
Think about it, they became bandits in the first place, wasn't it just to be able to eat delicious food, drink lots of wine, and eat meat?
Now it seems that it would be better to join the caravans traveling around the country.

"Humph, I'll let you be proud of yourself for now, you will cry bitterly later."

Seeing that the people of Taohua Village had finished their breakfast and fed the horses with fodder, it was obvious that they were ready to set off, so the people of Heifeng Village hurriedly made preparations.

"Brothers, this group is a big fat sheep. If we do this, I guarantee we will have a big year..."

The stalkers came back and reported that the caravan ate so well, which showed that they were very rich.

Here.

Bai Tao stopped the villagers from dismantling their tents.

"The sun is shining so brightly today, it's a good time to lie down and bask in the sun."

Bai Tao's words left the villagers confused. Everyone looked at each other, then looked up at the sky. The sun was shining brightly.

Although, but...Okay, since I don't want to leave, then I won't leave. It's nothing serious anyway. It doesn't matter a day earlier or later.

Bai Dashan waved his hand and said, "Then I won't leave. Everyone can do whatever they need to do."

Seeing this, Bai Tao sighed and said, "You don't have to do anything. Just go to sleep when you are tired."

When the villagers heard this, they immediately felt warm in their hearts and their eyes turned red. What a perfect weather to bask in the sun! She was just feeling sorry for the guys who had been digging stones all night last night.

With nothing to do, Bai Tao called Bai Duoxi and started to study food.

"Aunt, what do you want to eat?" He can make a few desserts now, all taught by his aunt, such as taro sago, creamy mashed potatoes, candied sweet potatoes, and sanded taro...

"Well, I feel like eating spicy hotpot today." Bai Tao said and swallowed.

When Bai Duoxi heard this, he quickly took out the recipe.

"Don't turn it over, I'll tell you how to do it." Bai Tao looked disgusted. You don't even know a few Chinese characters. By the time you recognize the spicy hotpot, the food will probably be cold.

The expression of a child could not hide the truth, especially Bai Tao, who did not intend to hide it. Bai Duoxi smiled awkwardly: "Auntie, I will try my best to learn more words."

"I know. Don't worry, take your time." Bai Tao said as she took the recipe and turned to the spicy hot pot page: "Let me tell you, spicy hot pot is like this..."
