The first lady is sweet and sweet

Chapter 371 'Art' (one more)
"How expensive are the Spring Festival couplets! Besides, the gentlemen of this big family can write by themselves, so they still need to buy them! Even small households and rural areas, these Spring Festival couplets were written by scholars who were literate in the village." Chen sipped. He pursed his lips and looked at Qi Yaoyao and said, "If the scholar is good at talking, then write the Spring Festival couplets. If you meet the high-ranking scholar, his face will be as long as a donkey." He sighed softly, "Is there any What can I do? Who would let people know how to write! Now it's not easy to have someone who can write in these eight villages."

Qi Yao suddenly stood up and said, "Pomegranate, Pomegranate called Luming over."

"What are you doing?" Chen shi looked at Qi Yaoyao who suddenly got up and asked.

"Write Spring Festival couplets and earn a small amount of money." Qi Yaoyao looked at her with bright black eyes and said.

"Can this make money?" Chen looked at her uneasy and said.

"Yes!" Qi Yaoyao said with a smile, "This year, every household grows vegetables in large baskets and makes money. These couplets of copper plates can still be bought."

"But we don't have that many people who can write!" Chen shi looked at her worriedly and asked.

"Yes!" Qi Yaoyao said, looking at her with shining eyes.

"No, no, just the four of us." Chen shi shook his head like a rattle and looked at her and said, "You still have to look after the children, so you can't be tired. Heng'er explained Luming."

"Why don't I do it?" Qi Yaoyao smiled at her with her smart eyes.

"That manpower is even more insufficient." Chen shi looked at her and said, "How much can you write!"

"There are people in the county school!" Qi Yaoyao looked at her with light eyebrows and said with a smile, "This county school is not all rich, there are poor students, it's okay to make some money during these few days. ?"

"Yes, yes." Chen Shi's eyes lit up when he heard the words.

"And in the name of Lu Xiucai, I don't know if Luming is willing or not." Qi Yaoyao heard Luming's hurried footsteps from outside the yard.

"Madam, Young Madam!" Lu Ming bowed his hands through the cotton curtain and said, "I don't know what to do with Xiao Xiao?"

Qi Yaoyao explained the matter briefly, "I don't know if Lu Xiucai is willing?"

"Small, let's do it now!" Lu Ming immediately agreed, why not earn money if he has money.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Qi Yaoyao stopped him and said, "This red paper money, pen and ink money, must be prepared first!"

Mrs. Chen took out 100 taels of silver bills from the camphor wood box, went out and handed them to Lu Ming, "Take it and use it first."

"Madam, I can't use so much!" Lu Ming said, looking down at the silver note.

"Take it and use it! This hand is also a little more generous, I don't want you to be in a difficult situation." Chen shoved the silver note into his hand and said.

"The little one is gone." Lu Ming cupped his hands and said, "I'm going to get busy, I'll just prepare for the New Year...?"

Pomegranate said with a big bag, "I'm here! Don't worry, it's the meal for the four of us? Croquettes, fried chicken nuggets, fried spare ribs, fried tofu, and steamed buns, I will make them all by myself."

"Please." Lu Ming heard the words and looked at Pomegranate gently and said, "I'm leaving."

"Hey! Luming, don't forget that Mo Xiancheng and their New Year's goods have been arranged." Chen shi called him and warned him.

"It's been arranged and delivered." Lu Ming said with a smile, bowed his hands in salute and retreated.

Chen Shi looked at Pomegranate and said, "You're busy!" Turning around and sitting on the edge of the kang, she said worriedly, "I don't know if the students from the county school will do it? After all, this man has a lot of face. Like the sky, scholars still have a good face, and they would rather be hungry than do something that they think is a bit of a shame."

Qi Yaoyao rubbed her chin with her index finger and said, "It depends on what you say?"

"How do you say this?" Chen shi looked at her suspiciously and said.

"It's not good to say that it's just to make money." Qi Yaoyao's dark eyes rolled her eyes and looked at her and said, "Study is the ultimate goal of a scholar. What is the purpose of entering an official career? ?"

"Being an official for thousands of miles is for money!" Chen shi blurted out and made his debut.

"Hey! I can't tell you what I said." Qi Yaoyao looked at her with a funny look and said, "What scholars advertise is to take the happiness and well-being of the world as their own responsibility, to serve as an official, and to benefit one party. The New Year is a big festival, and they write Spring Festival couplets for the common people. It's a good thing.”

"Daughter-in-law, what a mouth!" Chen shi shook his head and laughed.

"Besides, the students from this difficult family went to copy books for the sake of repairing or living, and I didn't see them disagreeing! Instead, they were very enthusiastic." Qi Yaoyao looked at her with shining dark eyes and said.

"It's different, copying books is also reading." Chen shi looked at her with deep eyes and said, "Heng'er didn't copy books when she was studying."

"That's why! Writing the Spring Festival couplets is also a practice calligraphy." Qi Yaoyao looked at her with bright eyes and said.

"People's mouths are really convincing." Chen's black eyes stared at her and smiled, "This matter is left to Luming, let's see what he does!"

Lu Ming was too busy to touch the ground years ago, leaving the planning of the New Year's Eve dinner to Mrs. Chen and Shi Liu Zhangluo.

"Come on, come here, the fried balls, come and taste the sweet and salty." Mrs. Chen came in with the freshly made vegetarian balls, put the bowl on the kang table, "Quickly try it." Hand it to Qi Yaoyao.

Vegetarian meatballs are white radish, carrot, with mung bean noodles, fried in oil pan, smell that fragrance!

Qi Yaoyao picked up a ball with chopsticks, crunched... took a bite, and sighed... mouth.

"Be careful of getting hot." Chen shi looked at Qi Yaoyao, who was puffing out his cheeks, and said with a smile.

Qi Yaoyao swallowed the ball with a whimper, "It's delicious, sweet and salty just right."

"Then we'll start frying." Chen shi looked at her with black and white eyes and warned, "There will be chicken nuggets, spare ribs, meatballs, and a little stomach."

"Hmm!" Qi Yaoyao nodded with a smile.

Chen turned around and went out, carrying a teapot in and said, "Drink more water, this fried food is dry!"

"Yeah!" Qi Yaoyao nodded lightly again.

"Daughter-in-law, don't patronize your own food, forget about Dongdong." Chen looked at his eldest grandson and said, "This kid is really easy. It's because we know we're busy and we're sleeping soundly."

"Don't worry, I won't forget your precious grandson." Qi Yaoyao's dark pupils looked at her and smiled, "Wake him up in a while, otherwise I won't be able to sleep at night."

"Let's not cook at noon! You'll be full after eating this." Qi Yaoyao picked up the meatballs again.

"Don't do it. When the frying is finished, I will cook some millet porridge." Chen Shi looked at her with black eyes and said.

"Madam's oil is hot, let's fry it!" Pomegranate's voice came in from the hall.

"You eat slowly, I'm going out." Chen shi tugged at the apron on his body, turned around and walked out, following the pomegranate to get busy.
