The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 12
Aunt Liu in the backyard couldn't bear her temper, so she came to Lu's house with the clothes she hurried out that night.

Seeing that there was no trace of crying on Xiaomi's face, Xu Shi felt relieved to go back.

Xiaomi sent the clothes to the East Chamber, Feng Jian tried on the new jacket, and seeing the little girl busy around him, couldn't help adding, "If you need help with anything, just ask."

Lu Xiaomi looked up in surprise, met those dark eyes, but smiled.

"Don't worry, Brother Feng, I know it well."

Feng Jian didn't know why, his throat suddenly felt a little itchy, he coughed twice and stopped talking.

Gao Ren, on the other hand, jumped and shouted, "Tomorrow I will also go to the city, and kill those idiots who rob business!"

Lu Xiaomi hit him hard, and finally pulled him to change into new jackets and trousers, "Little kid, don't always talk about killing. Besides, they are all poor people who are struggling to survive, and they are working hard to earn some money Hard work is not easy. Candied haws are not a good thing, why can I sell them, but others can't!"

"Hmph! Kindly treat it like a donkey's liver and lungs!"

Gao Ren rolled his eyes angrily, but his subordinates did not push away Lu Xiaomi who was buttoning him.

The business was treated coldly, and all the younger generations didn't sleep well. When they got up early and rushed to Lu's house, they all had dark circles under their eyes.

But seeing Lu Xiaomi's straw handle, everyone was happy.

"Ah, sister Xiaomi, is this also candied haws? Why isn't it hawthorn string?"

Lu Xiaomi smiled proudly, shaking her two braids, and replied, "Who stipulates that candied haws can only be strung with hawthorns?"

As she spoke, she pointed to the colorful candied haws on the handle, and ordered them one by one.

"The candied haws with black dates costs two pennies a bunch, and the candied haws with steamed hawthorn and sprinkled with sesame seeds costs three pennies a bunch. The wild grapes are so hard to come by. We only have one basket frozen at home, so they sell for five pennies. The orange slices and Apple pieces, sell for eight cents..."

Everyone nodded when they heard this, gearing up and preparing to enter the city again to "kill the Quartet" and let those opponents who rob business have a look.Even if they follow the trend and imitate, they can't keep up with the speed of their innovation.

Sure enough, the candied haws hawkers who had already occupied a large area in the commercial street were depressed to see the "Lu Jiajun" so surprisingly new.There are those smart and thin-skinned people who take the initiative to carry straw handles through the streets and alleys to sell.Not to mention, it costs two cents a piece, but there are also many families who can't stand the noise of their children, so they buy a lot, and the business is really not bad.

The Lu family's candied haws once again took the top spot in the shopping street.Hawthorn is sour after all, although it is hung with syrup, except for children who like to wink and gnaw on it non-stop, adults have tasted it fresh.

However, those black dates, mountain grapes, and orange apples candied haws, retain the original fruity aroma and add a bit of sweetness, which is really suitable for all ages.

Women shopping, girls and women who went shopping, and customers in restaurants all took out the copper coins in their purses.

The youngsters returned with empty promises once again, causing the whole Old Xiongling to become lively.

Although it is not their own business, the wages earned are real.Besides, there are only a dozen or so families in Laoxiongling, and any family can't survive with some kind of business.Lu Xiaomi racked his brains to make money, in order to hold a hundred-day ceremony for his mother, which has long been known to everyone.

Such a filial and sensible little girl, who can cruelly expect her to lose money in her small business.

However, this kind of joy only lasted for two days and then disappeared again. There is no other reason. The counterfeiters have followed in the footsteps of the Lu family, and now the peddlers wandering the streets and alleys with straw handles are also selling miscellaneous fruits. candied haws.

Xiaomi resolutely took over the small business and entertained the juniors for a sumptuous dinner.At this point, even if it is completely closed.

The younger generation each earned more than 100 Wen wages and ate a few good meals, but there was nothing to be dissatisfied with.The only thing is that it is a pity for Xiaomi. If no one follows suit and imitates, this small business will flourish, and the income will naturally increase.

Although Xiaomi had expected it long ago, she was somewhat regretful, but after seeing the box full of copper coins, she burst into laughter again.

The most important thing for a person to live is contentment, but after staying up for a few nights, there is so much income, so don't be greedy anymore.

The hawthorn was picked up from the mountains in autumn, and the mountain grapes were frozen at home. The purchase of small black dates, apples, oranges, icing sugar, and honey cost a total of more than 1000 Wen, and the wages were [-] Wen. Deduct a few hundred texts.

This time, I made a total of 20 taels in this small test. The bank in the city exchanged one tael of silver for [-] taels of copper coins, which was a full [-] taels of silver.

20 two!
Lu Xiaomi couldn't help but grabbed the copper coins, rolling over the kang with joy!
"I have made money, I have made money! I have a chicken in my left hand and a duck in my right hand! I have made money, I have made money, I can buy new clothes today, and flowers tomorrow!"

20 taels of silver may be just the price of a banquet or a pot of good tea for a wealthy family, but for Lu Xiaomi it is a hope.

Yes, it is hope.

In this time and space, with her memory and intelligence, she leads the family to live a prosperous life, with the hope of having no worries about food and clothing!
Standing in the wind and snow, Father Lu saw the figure of his little daughter reflected on the window sill, rolling over for a while, dancing with hands and feet for a while, with a rare lively look, his expression added a bit of joy, but it turned into deep sadness , extremely complex.

Beifeng lifted his skirt curiously, and snow particles poured into his neckline, finally urging this stubborn and cowardly old scholar to quietly walk back to the front yard.

On the roof, Gao Ren huddled in his new leather jacket, gnawed on the candied haws in his hand and pouted, "The blood relatives are the most troublesome. It's better for me to be alone. If one person is full, the whole family will not be hungry!"

Unfortunately, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard Lao Yang shouting in the front yard, "Gao Ren, come back to fetch water, the young master needs to wash up!"

Gao Ren gritted his teeth, muttered bitterly, finally threw the wooden signature in his hand, turned over and got off the roof...

Time flies by like a weasel that has stolen a hen.

In the blink of an eye, it has been almost three months since Lu Xiaomi was reborn and woke up, and her mother, Bai Shi, has passed away for more than [-] days, and the Hundred Days Festival will be a few days away.

According to Father Lu's idea and the acquiescence of the three brothers of the Lu family, the Hundred Days Festival will be held.

Lu Xiaomi was successful as a teacher, and finally had a little more money in his hands, so he made up his mind to organize Luo Bai's Hundred Days Ceremony, as compensation for her guilt of taking up the body of his daughter.

The filial clothing of the family of four are stored in the box, and the Lu family has no relatives, and there is no news of the relatives of the Bai family. After all, all that needs to be prepared for the Hundred Days Festival are sacrifices, banquets, and burnt paper of various colors.

Lu Laoer and Lu Laosan took the blueprints drawn by their sisters and went to the house of a craftsman in the outskirts of the city who specialized in paper making.The two liang of silver that was originally prepared was unexpectedly brought back without spending a penny.

It turned out that the craftsman, seeing the novelty, actually asked for a few blueprints of Lu Xiaomi as a reward. Lu Laosan felt that he was at a disadvantage and hesitated, but Lu Lao[-] agreed immediately.

No matter how greedy Lu Xiaomi was, he didn't want to make money from these paper jobs, so he waved his hands and started to make a list, and finally asked his neighbors and uncles to help him go to the city to buy.

To Old Master Feng, who was the most senior in the village, she also sent two packets of snacks and two jars of old wine, and invited him to come to Lu's house on the day of the Hundred Days Ceremony.

As for the women from various families in the village, they have said that when they came to deliver clothes one after another in the past few days, they will definitely come to help early when the time comes.

With money in hand, don't panic.

Once Lu Xiaomi was assigned, organizing the Hundred Days Festival was much easier and more leisurely than imagined.

In the east wing, Feng Jian's master and servants all put on new bedding.

The new cotton was sewn into the coarse cloth to make a cotton lining. Although it was a bit plain, it looked exceptionally clean.The outside of the cotton liner is not an ordinary quilt, but a boxy cloth bag with a few thin cloth straps tied on the corners. It is very convenient to take out the cotton liner when changing and washing.

The cloth bag of Feng Jian's quilt was made of ivory fine cotton sewn into a zigzag shape with a big bottom and a small top. The middle part was inlaid with royal blue satin, and an eagle with wings spread was embroidered on the satin with golden yellow and brown embroidery thread.

This embroidery is made by Gui Zhier, the eldest daughter-in-law of Aunt Liu's family. It is a rare and good craftsmanship. The eagle is lifelike and its sharp eyes are daunting.

Uncle Yang's quilt was three points thicker, with two catties of cotton added, making it extra thick.The quilt cover is also based on ivory, but the embroidered picture is a birthday star holding peaches, the peaches are pink, and the birthday star is smiling, looking festive.

It is Gao Ren's quilt, which is embroidered with a Monkey King stepping on auspicious clouds.The monkey in the tiger skin skirt was actually disgusted by Gao Ren, and kept yelling for Lu Xiaomi to change.

Lu Xiaomi couldn't help but simply told him about Monkey King's "brilliant deeds". As a result, Gao Ren immediately fell in love with this monkey who also liked "havoc in heaven".He kept arguing for Lu Xiaomi to say a few more words, but he didn't even resist when Lu Xiaomi caught him to help light the fire.

Soon, the day before the Hundred Days Ceremony, Lu Wu led his younger generation to get out three sledges and retrieve the paper.

It has to be said that the craftsman of this time and space is really capable.

Lu Xiaomi just drew some simple graphics based on what he saw in his previous life and some imagination, but he received a big surprise.

The craftsman didn't know what to do with the paper, and the brick and tile courtyard with three entrances was only as big as a square table, with red walls and gray tiles, which looked cleaner and grander than Lu's house.The small octagonal pavilion is so exquisite that you can even see the plaque engraved on the pavilion.

Eight male and eight female servants of paper figurines, two bay red horses pulling a carriage, as well as various jewelry, dresses for four seasons in spring, summer, autumn and winter, boxes of gold bars, ingots...

The women in the village originally came to help organize the sacrifices, chop vegetables, and clean up, but they all gathered around to watch the excitement.

Some older ones couldn't help but sigh with envy, "Miss Xiaomi is really blessed. I saw that Xiaomi was ignorant before, and I whispered a few words behind her back. Look now, Xiaomi is really a good girl."

"That's right, the little girl was unavoidably a little coquettish when she was with her mother before, but now she is a good housekeeper."

"Aside from anything else, making money is even more powerful. My Shuanzi sold candied haws for a few days, and the wages he got back were enough to make a new jacket for himself. It's a pity that there is no suitable girl, otherwise I will see one at this time. We can get married next year."

When women get together, most of the parents are short-sighted, and men and children never leave their mouths.

Speaking of children and marriage, it is naturally even more lively.
