The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 10
Feng Jian nodded at Lao Yang, and Lao Yang hurriedly opened the door, welcomed Lu Xiaomi in with a smile, and replied, "Just now I was talking about looking for a girl, our young master needs a change of medicine for his injured leg."

"Uncle Yang, I remember, I already asked my elder brother to call Uncle Bi in the morning, and I'll be here after lunch."

Lu Xiaomi spoke crisply and neatly, and arranged the family affairs properly, especially he was very careful with Feng Jian's master and servant, which made Lao Yang smile even more happily.

"Okay, please trouble Miss Lu."

"Uncle Yang, you're being polite, we're all a family, that's what we should do."

Sitting on the edge of the kang, Lu Xiaomi glanced at the pens, ink, paper and inkstones on the kang table, which she bought specially for Feng Jian when she went to the city, for his daily writing.I didn't expect that she would come in handy today.

Feng Jian saw that Lu Xiaomi entered the room without saying a word. He first looked at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, doubts flashed in his eyes, and he asked, "Miss Lu, do you want to use pen and paper?"

Lu Xiaomi quickly regained his composure and said with a smile, "Maybe I need to use it later, I have to talk to Brother Feng in advance."

"Okay, Miss Lu just say it."

"Well, Brother Feng has been staying for the past few days, so he must have guessed that our family is in distress, otherwise Gao Ren would not have been allowed to go hunting with Brother Xiaodao. Now our family has to prepare a hundred-day sacrifice for our mother, and my third brother also It's time to finish repairing..."

No matter how hard life was in Lu Xiaomi's previous life, she would rather work four jobs a day than borrow money from others. She didn't want to be here now, with a family and relatives, but she had to speak cheekily. It was a bit embarrassing for a while, so she said In the middle of it, the corners of the clothes have been rubbed out of shape with their hands.

Feng Jian's eyes flicked over Lu Xiaomi's red ears, and it was rare to interrupt her, "If the family doesn't have enough money, let Gao Ren go up the mountain again tomorrow."

Gao Ren rolled his eyes and snorted coldly, but he didn't refuse. Instead, he licked his lips and thought, the braised pork ribs were really delicious, if he went up the mountain, he would definitely come back from hunting wild boars.

Lu Xiaomi's expression changed, and he quickly waved his hands to stop him, "No! Brother Feng, you don't know, the second snowfall has already fallen on the mountain, and the mountain is completely closed. It's okay to hunt snow rabbits and pheasants at the bottom of the mountain, but it's dangerous to go up the mountain No matter how good the kung fu is, Gao Ren can easily freeze to death on the mountain."

Having said that, she couldn't dawdle any longer, and hurriedly explained her intentions, "I'm here today not to ask Gao Ren to go hunting again, but to negotiate a deal with Brother Feng."

"Trade?"

Feng Jian raised his eyebrows, even Lao Yang and Gao Ren looked over curiously.

Lu Xiaomi nodded solemnly, "Brother Feng, in the spring of next year, I plan to fertilize and plow the fields at home to see if I can harvest the crops earlier. In addition, there are a few small things to try, which may be sources of income. But, I don't have a penny or two in my hand. That's why I came to ask Brother Feng to talk. Can you lend me the 180 taels of silver left over from the previous sale of prey? I'm willing to repay it in double by the end of next autumn. I said nothing. Well, I can make a written statement. If at the end of next autumn, I can't pay the debt, um...my cooking skills are not bad, and I'm willing to be a cook with Brother Feng, and pay off the debt with my wages until it's all paid off .”

Lu Xiaomi almost said the last four words through gritting his back molars.

Freedom, one of the most precious things in the world, if there is a way, she will not gamble her own freedom, but she must act urgently. This is the only way for Lu Xiaomi to repay his mother's favor.

In fact, Feng Jian really didn't pay attention to the more than 100 taels of silver, not to mention that he had said earlier that the money would be used by the Lu family.Now that Lu Xiaomi had finished speaking, he frowned and was about to speak, but he saw Uncle Yang shaking his head slightly behind Lu Xiaomi.

He froze for a moment, then turned to look at Lu Xiaomi's thin white neck, and suddenly understood something.

"Okay, let's make a written evidence according to Miss Lu's words. I'll ask Gao Ren to come over again in the autumn of tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you Brother Feng. Don't worry, Brother Feng, I will definitely pay it off next autumn."

Lu Xiaomi was overjoyed, his palm-sized smiling face was like the sun emerging from the dark clouds, slightly dazzling, which made Feng Jian's mouth curl up.

Lao Yang helped with the pen and ink, and seeing Lu Xiaomi's handwriting was very delicate, he praised, "Girl's handwriting is good!"

"It's all taught by my mother," Lu Xiaomi carefully wrote the IOU, and finally thought about it, then pressed his handprint with ink, and said, "It will be the anniversary of my mother's death in a few days, and we have to make arrangements at home. It's a bit noisy, I'm afraid it will disturb Brother Feng's peace."

"will not."

Feng Jian didn't know what to think of, her eyes darkened, "When the time comes, allow me to offer a stick of incense too."

"Thank you, Brother Feng."

Lu Xiaomi fulfilled his wish, said a few more gossips, and went out.

"The children of the poor have long been in charge of the family. Miss Lu is a backbone and sensible."

Lao Yang praised in a low voice, but Gao Ren played around with the date stones as a hidden weapon, and retorted, "Damn girl, dare to underestimate grandpa, tomorrow..."

"You are not allowed to go up the mountain tomorrow!" Lao Yang snarled with a rare cold face, "If you hadn't left the young master without authorization, how could the young master have been injured by bandits! If you dare to do this, don't blame me for being merciless."

Gao Ren's face was flushed red by the scolding, and he wanted to scold back when he jumped up, and even made a move, but he still had scruples in the end, and finally slapped open the window and jumped out.

Lao Yang closed the window with a calm expression, as if he was used to such things, and Feng Jian was also leaning on the thick quilt to close his eyes and rest...

Besides, when Lu Xiaomi went back to the house and picked up those banknotes, his feeling was really complicated.

These banknotes will be the capital of her fortune in the future, and it will also be a heavy burden on her shoulders.

If it spreads, the entire Laoxiongling folks will think she is crazy.

However, pressure is also a driving force. Now that she is like this, she has no way out and can only rack her brains to find a way to make money.

What kind of business is there, you can see the profit quickly, and you don't need to invest a lot of capital, it's best not to use labor...

The sun in winter, without the vitality of summer, comes out every day to deal with it.Just after noon, he hid weakly in the clouds, planning to be completely lazy.

When Uncle Bi knocked on the door of Lu's courtyard with the medicine box on his back, Lu Xiaomi was busy in the kitchen.

Gao Ren, who was angry and ran away, came back at some point, and plunged into the kitchen as usual, stealing food in the name of helping.

Today was unusual, even Lu's second child was blocking the door and poking around.

Hearing someone knock on the door, Lu Xiaomi hurriedly wiped the sweat from his nose, stuffed a candied haws into Lu Wu and Gao Ren's hands, and kicked them out.

"It must be Uncle Bi who came to change the medicine. Go open the door and report to Brother Feng."

Lu Wu and Gao Ren got the food they had coveted for a long time, they both smiled happily, and went out while rubbing the hawthorn.

Uncle Bi stepped into the gate of the courtyard. When he saw Lu Wu gnawing on the shiny hawthorn skewers, he guessed that it was another novelty made by millet, so he reached out and snatched it.

Lu Wu jumped and protested, "Third Uncle, there are still some in the kitchen, how did you rob me?"

"Go and get it yourself, don't you know I'm busy?" Uncle Bi San was not polite at all, nodding while eating, "The hawthorns are all over the mountains and plains, why does the millet taste so much better once you pick it up! Go, give it later." I'll take two skewers."

Xiaomi heard about it in the kitchen, so she ran to the door and greeted with a smile, "As long as Third Uncle likes to eat, take a few more skewers when you go back."

"Okay, the children in the family, I'm afraid they like this little thing more."

Uncle Bi entered the East Wing while he was talking. Lu Xiaomi couldn't get in, so he stood outside the door and listened.

Feng Jian has a background in martial arts, and his health is much better than ordinary people. In the past few days, he has been eating and drinking carefully, and he can't leave his mouth for three meals of medicinal soup, and his leg injury naturally recovers quickly.

Everyone followed with joy, and Uncle Bi was not too polite. When he left, he carried the marinated pork belly in one hand and a few bunches of candied haws in the other, and his eyebrows and beards were flying with joy.

Laoxiong Ridge is not big at all, and the naughty boys have never changed their playful temper because of heavy snow.Uncle Bi held candied haws all the way to show off, and naturally spread the news that the Lu family made delicious food.

As a result, the gate of Lu's courtyard was quickly crowded with little heads.

Lu Xiaomi was not stingy either, and each of them made a bunch of candied haws, and the children who took care of it ran away smiling.

In the east wing, Feng Jian was moved because of his injured leg, and he felt a little irritable due to the pain.When Lao Yang saw it, he went out, and soon came in with a bunch of candied haws.

Feng Jian wasn't greedy, but subconsciously wanted to find something to divert her pain, but after biting down, her mouth was full of sweet and sour taste, and her saliva instantly flooded, even the restlessness seemed to dissipate a lot.

Seeing his master's surprised expression, Lao Yang said with a smile, "Miss Lu is probably going to sell this gadget to make money!"

Feng Jian nodded and finished eating slowly. Although she liked it very much, she actually disapproved in her heart.This kind of snack food lies in the word novelty, and it is not difficult to imitate it.If you want to do this business for a long time, it will not work at all.

Of course, Lu Xiaomi also knew this truth, so she didn't plan to operate for a long time at all.

At dinner time, Lu Xiaomi really didn't have time to prepare delicate meals, so he made hot noodle soup.A few cloves of garlic and two kinds of pickles are enough for a meal.Of course, Feng Jian's bowl is made of chicken soup, which is warm and nourishing.

Everyone gathered in the East Wing to eat and drink together as before. Just as Lu Wu was about to say that he would go up the mountain tomorrow, Lu Xiaomi took the conversation away, "Second Brother, you can go find Brother Xiaodao and the others later. It is best to gather ten people. Help me go to the city tomorrow." Selling candied haws, and let Uncle Liu rush to make ten straws tonight. I’ll give you the blueprint later, it’s very simple.”

Lu Wu took a sip of the soup and asked doubtfully, "Little sister, are you going to sell the hawthorn skewer you made today? Can you sell it? Hawthorn is not a rare thing..."

"Don't you also like to eat it? Why can't you sell it! Besides, hawthorn is worthless, and at most it can be put in two catties of icing sugar. How can it be done if you don't try it? Just leave it alone and help me with these two things." That's it."

Lu Xiaomi didn't have the time to explain to his brother, so he ate a few mouthfuls of noodles and went back to the kitchen to get busy.

If it only sells hawthorn and candied haws, it's still a little thin, and she plans to think about more tricks.

Doing business has always been like, I have what others don’t have, I have what others have, and I always stay in the leading position. Even if I can’t last for a long time, the income will definitely be considerable.
