Big businessman and little fisherman

Chapter 148
"This child is clever at first glance, so he is a child who reads books!"

In order to ease the atmosphere, the person who spoke at the beginning had a more polite tone, "Brother, which Lu are you?"

Mentioning this, Lu Quan's expression froze a little, and he said after a long time, "I'm from the Lu family in the west of Hexi."

He only said me, not us.

Lu Yuanshan, including the place where the ancestral hall is built now, belongs to the Lu family in Shangdong.Although they belonged to the same clan, the Lu family on the west of the river and the Lu family on the east east had the same ancestor, but they had already branched for many generations.

They don't have much contact on weekdays, and the Lu family from Xiahexi can come to Shanghexi only because the ancestral hall is here.

The young man sitting next to Lu Quan's right hand immediately asked: "From the Lu family in Xiahexi? The people who came to the Lu family in Xiahexi today are arranged at the tables in the northwest corner. Why didn't you sit there?"

He thought that Lu Quan didn't know, so he stood up and pointed to the northwest corner, "It's over there, where there are two jujube trees."

If Lu Quan went there, no one would say anything about him even if he took his child to sit there.

After all, there are not many clansmen in Hexi, and they are familiar with each other. Lu Quanneng is definitely not an ordinary family who is willing to spend a hundred yuan for a seat for his children.

Today, this seat is not for nothing, and the people who sit on the seat will have to pay money when the food is served.

One hundred Wen for each, and two hundred Wen for Lu Quan and his son.

Few of the Lu family are rich and promising. Most of them are ordinary local people who are still struggling for food and clothing every day.Many families just worship and kowtow when they come, even the family members are reluctant to sit in this seat, let alone such a half-grown child.

The person who spoke stood up and looked around, then sat down with some annoyance: "You'd better not go there, it's full, there's no place left."

The speaker just wanted to get close to Lu Quan, look at the clothes of Lu Quan and his son, and see how he is willing to spend a hundred yuan for a seat for the child.

There should be some farm shops at least, otherwise they wouldn't be so willing.

At the same time, the members of the Lu clan might be able to use their relationship with each other one day.

"I don't know them well."

Lu Quan replied in a low voice: "Although I am from the Lu family in Xiahexi, my great-grandfather moved his family to the Guanyin Temple a few years ago."

Even if it is the Lu family in Xiahexi, but the big branch of the clan, they left Xiahexi long ago and went to Hedong, but they did not move to Dongyang County, and settled in the Guanyin Temple near the lake.

"It's from the Guanyin Temple! Didn't your film be flooded a few years ago, and it's almost finished?" The speaker realized that something was wrong with what he said, and clasped his fists together, "Well, brother, look at my mouth , I really don’t mean it.”

Back then, a flood destroyed several Zhuangzi, and few people survived.

Even the members of the Lu clan in Dongyang County knew about this.

Lu Quan's voice became deeper and deeper: "It's okay, it's all over. Our village was flooded, and the fields were gone. My family has a boat, and I was lucky to save my life."

There are four Zhuangzi, nearly a hundred households, and only a dozen households remain in the end.

It is said that in the lower reaches, in the area of ​​Baima Lake, more villages were washed away, countless homes were destroyed, and how many people were buried at the bottom of the lake.

While talking, the person who helped set up the table began to serve the dishes.

Pork belly, lung and radish soup, boiled meat, boiled bean curd skin with Chinese cabbage, fried lotus root slices, stewed tofu with pig blood, grilled fish, radish meatballs, old green vegetable powder soup, six vegetables and two soups, plus a bowl of miscellaneous grains per person rice.

This table, from the present point of view, is already rich enough.

Lu Quan put down two strings of copper coins on the serving tray, one hundred coins each, totaling two hundred coins.

Seeing that such a half-old child also took out a hundred coins, the person who served the food immediately went to the accounting office with a tray piled with ten strings of copper coins.

As long as someone pays, it doesn't matter whether he is seated by an adult or a child.

After everyone moved their chopsticks, Lu Quan picked up two radish meatballs for Lu Yange with the chopsticks, and put a few more dishes into the bowl in front of her, making sure that these meals would be enough for Xiao Si to eat, and then he held them with peace of mind. The rice bowl ate the food in front of him.

Lu Quan doesn't drink, is not good at socializing, and doesn't care about the strange eyes around him. He only knows how to concentrate on eating, and take care of Xiaosi beside him by the way.

In Lu Quan's view, he spent copper coins, and the father and son spent two hundred copper coins, so of course they had to eat well.

If it wasn't because of Xiaosi, he wouldn't be willing to spend this copper coin for the banquet.

Even if he came to worship his ancestors, he would probably be like most people, carrying two dry biscuits, kowtowing and burning paper, and then left.

If you are hungry on the road, eat pancakes.

One hundred wen sits at a table, even if he eats delicacies from mountains and seas, Lu Quan feels that he is at a loss.

It was precisely because of Xiao Si that he was willing to sit at the table, and Lu Quan sat at the table so that Xiao Si could have a warm and full meal.

Lu Quan didn't care what others thought.

Anyway, it's fine for Xiao Si to eat as much as he can, and see if he can't lose a piece of meat.

Lu Quan put enough vegetables in his son's bowl, and the people around him didn't say anything.

Half the size, eat Lao Tzu.

Every family has such a big kid. They spend money on food and don't add more food, so what can they say.

Although it's a side dish, the father and son are still very well behaved. Each person has one radish meatball, and the father put it for his son, so he never put his chopsticks into the bowl of meatballs.Each of the rest of the dishes is just one chopstick, absolutely nothing.Not to mention the attitude of some women who take their children to the banquet and wish to take a pot home.

Look at other people's children, only about ten years old, sitting upright, with their backs stopped, holding a bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other, working hard to cook the rice in front of the large coarse porcelain bowl.

Children also eat in a leisurely manner, eating one bite at a time, and eating well.

Such a child is clean and well-behaved, it's hard to dislike.

It can be seen that the life of this family is quite affluent on weekdays, and the children's tutoring is also good.

I heard that he is literate, so no wonder he was willing to bring a seat. If their family had such a decent son, they would be willing to spend this hundred and ten Wen to let him enjoy the blessings of their ancestors.

At this moment, the people at the same table looked at Lu Quan differently.

The dishes are not as good as those cooked at home, and the taste is average, but the oil and water are big and the portions are sufficient.

Lu Yange ate most of the bowl of food with great difficulty, and couldn't eat the rest no matter what.

Lu Quan came here according to her usual appetite, she didn't expect that the dishes on the table today were not to Lu Xiaosi's taste.

Seeing the child start counting the rice grains, Lu Quan stopped his eating hand slightly, turned his head and asked, "Are you full?"

Lu Yange looked at the half bowl of food in front of him in embarrassment, and nodded slightly: "Yeah."

"When you're full, go and eat nearby. Don't go far away. I'll eat this meal here." As he spoke, Lu Quan took the bowl from Lu Yan's singer, and poured it into his own big bowl involuntarily. No matter what others think, Huhululu started to eat.

When Lu Yangge heard that he was asked to stop to eat, she obediently squeezed out from the middle of the table, ran to the entrance of the ancestral hall, and looked inside on tiptoe.
