peasant girl

Chapter 221, Lesson learned (3 more

Zhu Mantang was surprised again.

Don't stop and ask what's wrong?

Zhu Xiao naturally wouldn't stop.

Seeing that the two people were not dressed very well, their hair was white, and they were still on the road in such a cold day, so they seemed to be homeless.

I really want to stop and ask, what should I do when I hit the carriage all of a sudden?
bring home?Disgusting people.

Regardless of whether you don't care about it, you have to be pointed at by others.

It's better to be cruel from the beginning.

"..."

Thinking so, Zhu Xiao drove the carriage for a while, and couldn't help but look back.

In the cold wind, the old couple just supported by the Xiangfu, watching her and the carriage.

For a moment, it seemed that the four eyes met each other, Zhu Xiao quickly turned his head, feeling inexplicably guilty.

Then he kept telling himself, don't meddle in other people's business, there are too many poor people in this world, too many to be pitiful.

She is now in huge debts, and there are still so many people in the family waiting to eat, she has not found a way to make money, and selling recipes is not a long-term solution.

After driving the carriage to the house, Zhu Mantang helped move the things to the main room. Zhu Zhaodi and Zhu Huaer all came to help, but Lai Tuo and Shi Yi didn't show up. Zhu Xiao suddenly understood that Xun Muyang didn't want Zhu Mantang to know that he lived with her. Just like she didn't want Zhu Fugui and the others to know.

"Uncle Mantang, thank you very much!"

"You're welcome, next time you're going to the town, come and tell me earlier, and I'll take you there!"

"it is good!"

Zhu Xiao watched Zhu Mantang leave before moving everything to the kitchen with everyone.

"I bought so many soybeans!" Lai Fu asked.

Zhu Xiao nodded.

In fact, this is still a small amount. When she makes the dried tofu, she will buy more.

"Have you had lunch?" Zhu Xiao asked.

"We ate it, but the young master didn't!" Lai Fu approached Zhu Xiao and whispered.

Zhu Xiao was slightly surprised when he heard this.

Thinking that Xun Muyang didn't eat lunch, he went to wash his hands to see what else was in the house, cooked noodles with shredded pork and green vegetables all night, and served them himself.

Lai Fu stood at the door of the kitchen, watching Zhu Xiao walk slowly.

Breathe out lightly.

It's not in vain that the young master has her in his heart, in fact, she cares about the young master more than she shows.

It's just that she has her own worries, and she is very clear-headed. She didn't rush into it, but tried her best to make money, and stood shoulder to shoulder with the young master.

Although this road is a bit difficult, he believes that she can do it.

Zhu Xiaoduan faced, paused for a while at the door, and shouted, "Uncle Ayang!"

Hearing movement inside, he stepped into the house.

Seeing Xun Muyang reading on the kang, he said with a smile, "Uncle Ayang, I cooked you a bowl of noodles, come and eat!"

"Ok!"

Xun Muyang got off the kang and put on his shoes.

Go to the side to fetch water and wash your hands.

Then he dried his hands with a handkerchief, applied some ointment, and then came to sit down and eat noodles with chopsticks.

While eating, Xun Muyang was thinking that he had eaten all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas, but it seemed that he had never tasted them. It was obviously not very good food, but it tasted sweet after eating.

Seeing Zhu Xiao sitting on the side without saying a word, Xun Muyang asked, "Is everything going well?"

"The journey went smoothly, but on the way back, I saw an old couple waving at us by the side of the road, so I drove the carriage away!"

"The carriage you drive?"

"Well, it's pretty stable!"

Xun Muyang pursed his lips slightly, "Why didn't you stop the carriage?"

"I'm afraid they will run into me and blackmail me! But after thinking about it, what if they simply need us to take a ride, but I will leave like this!" Zhu Xiao said bluntly.

Xun Muyang didn't say a word, first he ate all the noodles seriously, wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and then whispered, "It's not because of relatives, and you don't know them, it's right not to stop the carriage. It often happens outside, some people see the carriage coming, they run into it without hesitation, and then extort a sum of money from the owner of the carriage. Many owners are unwilling to entangle in this matter. They didn’t give any money, and even beat up the person who bumped into him, but in the end, nothing happened!”

"Then has anyone reported to the official?" Zhu Xiao asked.

"Report to the official?" Xun Muyang laughed.

The little girl was still too naive.

"There are two words for officials. These people are doing this business. How can there be no people in the yamen? How can they not manage? If you meet a clean official, you can still get justice, but if you meet such a corrupt official, don't talk about justice. More money can be posted, and you don’t want those passing by to testify for you, many people have nothing to do with themselves, and no one wants to cause trouble!”

"..."

Zhu Xiao was silent.

I have to say that Xun Muyang taught her a good lesson again.

Like modern times, there are cameras everywhere, and there are still people who touch porcelain.

What's more, this ancient times can only rely on the eyes.

Sometimes eyes can be deceiving too.

"What? Are you scared?" Xun Muyang asked.

Zhu Xiao shook his head and nodded again.

It's just that I don't want to admit defeat in my heart, I still want to try my best, "Uncle Ayang, I..."

"What are you?"

"I still want to keep working hard. Although the fruit of victory is delicious, if it has not bloomed, set fruit, and has not been blown by wind and rain, it must not be delicious!"

"Well, great idea!"

Zhu Xiao got up and began to put away the bowls and chopsticks, "Uncle Ayang, read the book first, I'm going to work!"

"Little!"

"Stop reading and practicing calligraphy?"

"..."

Zhu Xiao paused.

These days, she really didn't read books or practice calligraphy well.

"Learn at night!"

Zhu Xiao took the bowl and left the room.

Keep telling yourself, Zhu Xiao, don't be at a loss, don't be discouraged, don't give up, don't put the cart before the horse, and don't be influenced by the outside world.

The road you are walking now is the same as you walked back then. At that time, you had nothing, but you still walked so far and stood so high.

At that time, making money was just to prove that I was alive, and no one in the world knew that there was such a you.

Now there is Xun Muyang behind you, all your efforts are for a happy life in the future.

Take a deep breath.

Zhu Xiao returned to the kitchen and started soaking beans.

Then they called Lai Fu for help, and they ground soybean milk together, and found another gauze bag, which was wrapped in a round bamboo basket.

Wait until the soy milk has been removed and boiled in the pot, add brine, wait until the tofu flower appears, scoop some tofu flower and pour it into a gauze bag, put it on a layer, tidy up the bag, hold a big stone and press it.

"..."

"..."

"..."

They all looked at Zhu Xiao in puzzlement, "Can we make dried tofu like this?" Lai Fu asked.

"I don't know yet, it should be possible. Wait an hour to open it and see if it works. It's the first time I've made it!" Zhu Xiaoxiao said, and went to make the remaining tofu flowers to make tofu.

Thinking about sending some to Zhu Fugui's family later.

Cut out all the dried peppers you bought.

"What is this?" Lai Fu asked again.

"Make chili sauce!"

　It will be updated earlier in the evening
