Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 4 The Coincidence of an Egg

million!

This number made the five sisters look at a loss, how much is a million?

"Okay, one thousand strings."

"Ah!" Erniang screamed and frightened the swallows on the eaves to run away, but Erniang asked again: "How much is a thousand strings?"

Liu Mu put one hand on his forehead, he couldn't laugh if he wanted to, he explained clearly how much a thousand strings are, but his sisters, they...are so pitiful.

"There are a lot, a lot. Sister, let's start. I'll do some work." Liu Mu didn't explain any more, and got up to find his own tools. The carpenter's skills he kept in his memory were not brilliant, but he could do some work. There is absolutely no problem with simple things.

Since Liu Mu wanted to take care of the family and was the only male in the family, Auntie Liu Ruyan didn't say anything, the oil could be saved after buying it, and it was always eaten in winter.

In the afternoon, Liu Mu started cooking oil with his two and three younger sisters.

Boil over and over again, leaving only the clearest and cleanest part.

"Da Lang, don't throw away the rest, they are still edible." Eldest sister Liu Ruyan was very distressed about those discarded willows, which contained impurities but still had a little oil.

Liu Mu didn't answer, he didn't know what to say.

The only thing I can do is to acquiesce, and then when I really succeed, I can get money, food, brocade, silk, etc. in exchange.At that time, I can tell my sister that those miscellaneous oils are not for human consumption.

Of course, this is what many poor people eat.

At this time, it was the reign of Wude, and it was not yet the prosperous Tang Dynasty.During the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, a bucket of millet seeds cost only seven or eight pennies.

In the evening, Liumu carefully removes the ashes left by the grass leaves and branches that have been burned with oil, and then picks out the ones that have not been burned, leaving only pure ashes, and then puts these ashes in a clay pot Inside, soak it with clean water.

In addition, Liu Mu also noticed the wood that was burned by the fire at that time.

One of them was rosewood, and one was half-burned torreya.

Liu Mu also took some wood ash from the rosewood wood, and soaked it in a small clay pot as well.

"Wu Niang, from now on, you will stir it after a while until you go to bed."

"kindness."

The youngest Wu Niang Liu Ruyun nodded vigorously. She is only nine years old and already knows how to do a lot of farm work.

The sun rises again, another day arrives.

"Second Sister, give me an egg!" Liu Mu said to Second Sister, looking at the ash water that had been settled overnight, the upper half layer was already relatively clean.

As a result, the second sister stood there dumbfounded and did not move.

Eggs, how could such a high-end thing be available at home.

"There are no eggs at home, all the money in the house was gone yesterday, and we can't buy eggs." Eldest sister Liu Ruyan answered on her behalf.

"I need an egg, any egg will do." Liu Mu frowned slightly.

Eldest sister Liu Ruyan is not the kind of person who likes to complain: "Si Niang, Wu Niang, go dig out the bird's nest."

"Wait a minute." Liu Mu called to stop Si Niang and Wu Niang.Turning to the elder sister, he said, "Elder sister, I see some flowers on the field. I need some very fragrant flowers. But the different flowers should be separated."

"I'll dig out the bird's nest, Erniang, Sanniang, Siniang, and Wuniang will go pick flowers, and come back at noon." The eldest sister Liu Ruyan ordered.

Five sisters, big and small, ran out, and Liu Mu began to take a small bowl to carefully take the clean water from the ash clay pot, and then put it in a very clean clay pot.

After finishing all this work, Liu Mu continued to carve his carpentry work.

One part mold, one part box.

When it was almost noon, a thin man was galloping on a bay red horse.After the horse ran for about three miles, the man pulled the horse's head, then let the horse walk slowly for more than a mile, and then urged the horse to gallop again.

It turned out to be training the two-year-old horse.

But at this moment, the man suddenly saw a young lady struggling to climb a tree by the edge of a forest.

The man grabbed the horse's head and looked sideways.

Although his family is not here, he is very familiar with this area. This area is almost full of honorable Zhuangzi, and the autumn harvest is about to come. It is impossible for the Zhuang Ding and the tenants to have time to run around.

Then there is only one household, the home of the former boss surnamed Liu in the river beach wasteland.

That fellow Liu had seen him before, he was a brave man, and he killed Luoyang when he fought Luoyang.

The man was thinking, but he saw that the little lady in the woods suddenly stepped on the ground, fell from the tree, and when she stood up again, her foot seemed to be injured, and her walking posture changed a bit.

But goodbye, after the little lady rubbed her legs a few times, she was ready to climb the tree again.

The man couldn't stand it any longer, and pulled his horse to the tree: "Little lady, there is something you need in the tree."

It was Liu Ruyan who climbed the tree, turned to look at the speaker, but was stunned.

I saw the person in front of me: wearing a hero's hat, wearing five tiger blue, horse riding loincloth pants, combat boots on two feet, waist tied with a silk luan belt, neither tight nor loose, about two feet tall, with shoulders crossed and feet arched, The face is as bright as the ancient moon, the face is like pale gold, the eyebrows are like sharp swords entering the temples, the eyes are like bright pearls, the nose is square, the mouth is square and the corners are distinct, and the three beards are floating on the chest.

Such a handsome man.

Liu Ruyan was stunned, and subconsciously replied:

"My lord, my younger brother wants an egg. And my family has no money to buy it, so..."

The man fumbled in his arms twice, and there were some gold leaves in his arms.But then I thought about it, once in the army I heard that Liu Huohuo was tough and never owed anyone a penny in his life.

Thinking of this, the man turned around and took off his bow, opened the bow and set an arrow, and shot the arrow down the bird's nest on the tree, and then stretched out his hand to catch it easily.

"Thanks, thank you sir." Seeing this heroic posture, Liu Ruyan's face was already peachy, but she didn't dare to look directly at the man in front of her.

Liu Ruyan turned around to leave, but her foot seemed to be really hurt, and she almost fell down while walking.

"I'll take you back." The man was an enthusiastic person, he put Liu Ruyan on the horse's back with just a slight mention, but the man was pulling the horse along.

In front of the dilapidated hut of the Liu family, what the man thought in his heart was to criticize the little girl's younger brother.

The family is poor but wants to eat eggs, what should be done if his sister falls from a height.

Liu Mufei didn't care, it's just that he didn't think about these details at the moment.

The man sent Liu Ruyan home, and when he arrived at the dilapidated room, he saw a man and four women busy, but the front of the house was full of fragrance.The aroma comes from the tiles roasted over a slow fire, and the tiles have some flower petals.

Liu Ruyan dismounted, and explained what happened just now in a few words.

Liu Mu stretched his hands forward, and bowed to the man according to Hanli: "Thank you, Mr. Lang, for wishing my sister, please accept Mu's gift."
