The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 19 Lu Qian's Transformation

It's just what Lu Qian said, just send a shrewd guy to the two cities in the south, and every tea house or idea shop will sell a prescription, and only charge two taels of silver.

He had the guts to try it, but unexpectedly he received more than 100 taels of silver back.After deducting the buddy's bounty, the family split 50 taels, which was a pleasant surprise.

If it wasn't for the fact that Lu Qian was studying in the academy, it was inconvenient for him to move around, and he couldn't do business with his status as a scholar, I'm afraid he wouldn't have shared such a good job with him.

"This is just a snack that the family members have been thinking about on a daily basis. If there are more in the future, I will naturally trouble the shopkeeper Luo."

Lu Qian didn't want his sister to be known as a glutton, so he answered vaguely and changed the topic.The old shopkeeper wanted to ask about the recipe of the meat sauce again. He had tasted it once when the back chef was cooking noodles for Lu Qian, and the taste was really good. If he could buy it, he would open another noodle restaurant and the business would be booming.

It's a pity that Lu Qian won't let go here.

Soon, the little guy came out with dumplings, and shopkeeper Luo went in if there was no delay.The little guy took Lu Qian's reward and left with a smile on his face. Leaving Lu Qian alone in the cold wind, eating dumplings, he was really happy.

Of course, it would be even better if he could move the iron stove from the dormitory. However, his sister will sell the stove to make money next winter, so it's not easy for him to show it to attract attention.

People come and go on the street, and occasionally urchins roll snowballs and fight with each other. No one knows that the scholar sitting on the street has a huge sum of money, and his heart has already flown back to the mountain village hundreds of miles away...

The wind and snow do not know the time, but the mountains and forests know the passage of time.

Seeing the days go by day by day, the closer the New Year is, the easier it is to find the faint traces of spring.

The streets and alleys in Anzhou City, after being quiet for most of the winter, slowly became lively again.

In the shops on the side of the street, the boys were wearing thick padded jackets, braving the cold wind and yelling hard, "The brocade is new from the south, the most popular color in Kyoto! Come in and have a look, come in and have a look!"

The peddler carrying the grass target was also dangling around, and the bright candied haws on the straw target made the naughty children swallow their saliva from time to time not far away.

Lu Xiaomi pulled Lu Wu to walk on the street, never set his eyes on the cloth store or the jewelry store, and only picked grocery stores and grain and oil stores to drill around.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is less than half a month away, a group of big-bellied men in the family actually ate up the japonica rice and fine noodles they had prepared earlier, and the wild boar barely had a few catties of meat left.

Gao Ren and Lu Wu were eager to go up the mountain to hunt another one, but in winter, the mountain was covered by heavy snow, and it was difficult to find the wild beasts, and the snow was full of dangers, so she stopped these two skilled and bold foodies to die.

But during the Chinese New Year, the dinner table can’t be empty, so we can only do another New Year’s shopping.

It was not easy to enter the city once, and four or five sledges came to the village as usual.Lu Xiaomi was not afraid of buying too much and not being able to take it back, just pick and choose, and throw everything to Lu Wu in the end.

In front of the butcher shop, a father and son drove three pigs to be sold to the butcher.The butcher thought that one of the heads was thin and fat, but Lu Xiaomi happily bought it.

With the previous wild boar at the bottom, everyone in the family has oil and water in their stomachs, but now they prefer lean meat, and the fat meat in the vegetable bowl is often left over.This pig is just right.

The butcher was also straightforward. After receiving the [-] Wen from Lu Xiaomi, he drove the pig directly to the backyard, and sent a pig soul to Lord Hades with a single knife.

Hearing that Lu Xiaomi wanted pig blood and offal, although he was curious, he didn't ask too much, but instead sent the blood and offal from the other two pigs.

As a result, there was an extra blood sausage on the Lu family's dinner table.Pig blood is mixed with chopped green onion, minced ginger, salt and a little pepper, poured into thin pig intestines and cooked, cut into thick slices, put a slice into your mouth.The pig's blood is as tender as egg custard, and the pig's intestines not only have no smell, but also have a kind of tenacity, which makes all the diners who are a little disgusted at first are full of praise.

Gao Ren even set aside half a bowl, mixed it with rice and stuffed it into his mouth.

Lu Xiaomi was thinking about the third brother, and urging the second brother Lu to pick him up.

Lu Erer carried enough dry food for the road and dressed warmly before he set out on the road.In a few days, he picked up Lu Laosan back, and the family was reunited again, which was naturally even more lively.

That night, after a sumptuous dinner, Lu San went to the backyard.

Lu Xiaomi was very surprised when he saw the banknote, and his first reaction was to ask Lu Laosan, "Third brother, what bad things have you done? Where did you get so much money?"

The youngest Lu was amused and complacent, and whispered about his cooperation with shopkeeper Luo.At the end, he added, "It is said that the shopkeeper Naluo has a distant nephew who is a member of the Prince's East Palace Sheren, and he has a good reputation on weekdays. I just found him as a partner. I didn't expect to sell the money back."

After finishing speaking, he suddenly thought that his sister didn't agree to this matter, so he carefully looked at his sister's face, and said, "It doesn't matter if I sell this prescription?"

"Of course it doesn't matter!" Lu Xiaomi's smiling face blossomed. No one was more pleased than her when her third nerdy brother suddenly became enlightened.

In her opinion, Lu Laosan will definitely take up an official career in the future, and it is better to be more active than stubborn and dull.

"I originally wanted to sell Fangzi to the south, but the eldest brother was soft-hearted, and the second brother was quick-tempered. Neither of them was a good candidate for a long-distance trip, so this matter was delayed. I don't want the third brother to settle the matter!"

The youngest Lu was praised by his sister, and he laughed even more happily.

"That's fine, that's fine."

"However, third brother, after this incident, you should be less involved. If it spreads that you are greedy for money and have a reputation for not doing business properly, it is important for you to study and take an exam to support your family. Of course, don't be too tired. It’s just that if we don’t study for exams, we brothers and sisters join forces to start a business and grow food, maybe in a few years, our Lu family will become the richest man in the state.”

"Okay, when the third brother doesn't want to study anymore, I'll help you!"

Lu Laosan did not have the contempt for merchants and peasants like a literati, so he responded very readily.Lu Xiaomi carefully put away the banknotes, preparing to do Shuxiu for the third brother in the future, or to make money when he goes to Beijing to rush for the exam.

Don't cry, kid, kid, the pig will be killed after Laba!
After eating Laba porridge on Laoxiong Ridge, every household is busy even if there is no fat pig to kill.

The winter wind and snow will fall every few days, but the man still sweeps the front and back of the house clean.

The women unpacked and washed bedding, steamed bean buns, and scrubbed wooden utensils. They were very busy.

The naughty children were not at home every morning because they went to the Lu family school, but it made the women more attentive and easier to do their work.

Out of gratitude, everyone was so busy that they went to Lu's house together.

The two of the Lu family entered the yard, and they had more rooms than anyone else.Xiaomi was hesitating whether to help out with his father and brother, but he was overjoyed to see the women coming to the door.

She was not polite, and after assigning work, she went to the stove to steam triangular brown sugar buns, and finally stuffed three or four in each family, coaxing the women and children to smile.

Feng Jian has raised her for two months, and now she can walk a few steps without holding on to a wooden pole.At this moment, he was walking to the door of the kitchen, and Lu Xiaomi pulled him to stuff a sugar triangle. He hesitated for a while, and took a bite while it was hot. He didn't know what he thought of, and said, "Miss Lu, why don't you make some dumplings to eat at night?" Bar!"

"Brother Feng, do you want to eat dumplings?" Lu Xiaomi was busy kneading noodles, and there were a lot of people in the family. She planned to fry some twists, meatballs and dried fruits, and prepared them for entertaining guests or filling her stomach during the New Year.

This is the first time Feng Jian asks for food, so she naturally couldn't refuse, and replied with a smile, "Okay, the last time I went to the city, I bought half a catty of dried shrimps, why don't you just wrap them with radish, pork and sea rice stuffing?" Bar."

Feng Jian nodded, and lowered her head to eat the candy triangle again.The late winter sun shone from his side, casting a halo on half of his silhouette, making him look even taller and more handsome.

Lu Xiaomi paused, and his heart skipped a beat. For some reason, he thought of the cloak he wore on his shoulders during the Hundred Days Ceremony.

In her previous life, she was busy filling her stomach and earning money to take back her younger siblings in the orphanage, so she really had no time to fall in love.Now that the two generations together are in their thirties, it's a bit... ridiculous to be attracted to a 20-year-old man!
Lu Xiaomi turned her head in a hurry, picked up the water ladle to scoop up water and was about to pour it into the pot.

Feng Jian's face changed when he saw it. Regardless of the pain in his leg, he rushed over and pulled Lu Xiaomi into his arms.

The water in the ladle couldn't stand the shaking, and most of it spilled on the two of them, but a few drops jumped out playfully.

As a result, the iron pan that had been half-burned with hot oil became lively, crackling and crackling.

Lu Xiaomi was so frightened that she was dumbfounded. If Feng Jian hadn't pulled her back and poured a ladle of cold water into the frying pan, she would have been blown into popcorn right now, right?
"Be careful!" Feng Jian was also very frightened, and wanted to reprimand her, but seeing Lu Xiaomi's face turned pale, she uttered these four words lightly.

Lu Xiaomi came back to his senses, jumped away quickly, and reached out to touch Feng Jian's injured leg, "Brother Feng, does your leg hurt, do you want to ask Uncle Bi to have a look?"

Feng Jian felt the limp little hand on his leg touch and froze for a long while before coughing dryly, "It's all right."

After that, he limped back to the East Wing.

Lu Xiaomi was even more afraid when he saw it. If Feng Jian was splashed with hot oil, it would be even worse.

However, isn't he afraid of such a danger, why is he still protecting her in his arms?
Lu Xiaomi patted his blushing face, turned around and kneaded the dough on the chopping board more and more.

The hot oil in the iron pan on the side also stopped making noise and smoked quietly. If you don’t pay attention, no one can see how amazing enthusiasm is hidden under the calm oil surface...

Xu had a precedent, and everyone felt sorry for Xiaomi. As long as they ate dumplings, the basin and fillings would be sent to the East Wing.Everyone sat around, chatting and making dumplings collectively.

On a whim, Lu Xiaomi showed off his skills and taught everyone how to make dumplings.To everyone's surprise, Feng Jian learned the best, and the wheat dumplings he made were even better than millet.

Xiaomi felt that she had lost face, so she pouted and changed back to Yuan Bao dumplings, but Feng Jian didn't know what was on her mind, so she only made wheat ear dumplings.
