Some people don't like the Mongolian book Lu Xu bought, while others like it.
Their family likes La Yue very much, and so does Yuan Manniang.
Yuan Manniang didn’t even know that there were books that even illiterate people could read.
She asked Lu Xu to find the name of the twelfth lunar month for her. Lu Xu turned to the months, from the first lunar month to the twelfth lunar month, they were all there. Yuan Manniang counted down, and the mother and daughter of the twelfth lunar month looked at the snowflake illustrations with their eyes round with excitement. Slip.
There was no word Yuan in the book, so Lu Xu found Manniang for her. Yuanmaniang touched the weed picture on the insert and asked Lu Xu to look for the word "吉". She traced the word "吉" with her fingers for a long time, and finally After writing it down, I gave the book to Twelfth Moon.
La Yue flipped through the book and pointed it out to her with a smile, "Mom, this is a fish!"
Yuan Man's mother didn't say anything. She raised her head in confusion and saw that her mother's eyes were watery, as if she was crying.
Yuan Manniang touched her head and asked La Yue to look for Lu Rui's name.
La Yue said "Hmm" and rummaged through page after page, but could not find Rui from beginning to end.
Lu Rui, who was addicted to eating cakes, didn't care whether his name was in the book or not. His brother brought a pack of snacks when he came back, and everyone shared the snacks, and the dregs were all his!
On the other side, Lu Wen and Lu Zhou were paying money to Lu Xu. They had been selling fried dough sticks for five days in total. They were afraid that they would not be able to sell out all the dough sticks, so they never carried too many. They ensured that they would sell out every day, and there was a lot of money. If you have copper coins, give them to Lu Xu in a big bag.
Lu Xu counted roughly and found that there were seven or eight taels in total. Since the two of them earned it, Lu Xu did not confiscate it and let the two of them divide it, and then gave Lu Xuan another share. Lu Zhou was honest and said right from the beginning that Lu Xuan accompanied them for the first three days.
Lu Wen took the money and took Lu Zhou away, fearing that Lu Xu would regret it.
After running out of the gate of Lu's house and reaching an empty space, Lu Wen praised again: "I knew that my eldest brother would be generous and would not ask for our money."
Lu Zhou nodded silently.
Lu Wen pulled Lu Zhou into his room at his house.
This house was originally occupied by Lu Hui and him, but now that Lu Hui is gone, he is the only one left.
Lu Wen poured all the money into the bank, dividing it into five parts first, then three parts for the first three days, and two parts for the next two days. "These are for third brother, these belong to me, and these belong to you."
Lu Zhou shook his head: "I'll give it to Third Aunt and Xiao Xia."
Lu Wen thought about it, and it was right. They had already given the wheat money to his mother before, but his mother and Xiao Xiaxia got up early every day to make noodles and fry them, which was also very hard.
Lu Zhou divided the money again, giving half to San Aunt and Xiao Xia every day, and dividing the rest into three parts for the first three days and two parts for the next two days.
After dividing it up, Xiao Xia and Third Aunt each had less than two taels, he and Lu Wen each had more than one tael, and Lu Xuan had less than one tael.
Lu Wen pouted. After working for a long time, he didn't make as much as Xiao Xia.
Lu Zhou put his wallet away and said, "I'll give it to Third Brother."
Lu Wen: "Yeah."
After Lu Zhou ran away with his and Lu Xuan's money, Lu Wen counted out a hundred from his share and hid it in a pillow, wrapped the rest and took it all to the kitchen to Xiaoxia.
Lu Wen: "This is yours, this is my mother's."
Xiaoxia was surprised: "Why do I have more than my mother's?"
Lu Wen said awkwardly: "Some of it belongs to me, you can save it for me."
Xiaoxia was even more surprised.
Lu Wen didn't look at her, turned his head and kicked the ground, "Didn't you wash my clothes for me?"
Xiao Xia looked at him nervously, "Wash clothes?" Didn’t she wash Lu Wen all the time?
Lu Wen: "You can keep the rest to buy some flowers and needlework, and buy candies for Xiaoyu Xiaofu."
After saying that, Lu Wen ran away and Xiaoxia slowly smiled while holding the money.
When Lu Zhou ran to the grocery store, Lu Xuan was helping to pack the shelves in the grocery store, while Han Lu sat aside to choose vegetables.
Tan Shitou and the others asked for vegetables. Many people in the village exchanged vegetables for food. Many of the fresh vegetables were still stained with soil. Grandma Lu chose soil and rotten leaves when she had nothing to do, and then tied them into bundles with wheat straw. Such vegetables Ship it to the county and sell it easily.
Han Lu always runs to the grocery store when she has nothing to do. In addition to grabbing some snacks, she also needs help.
Arrange goods, choose vegetables, put straw in baskets to put eggs and duck eggs, clean...
Even seven-year-old Xiao Man has been running errands and delivering goods all over the village recently.
Lu Zhou gave Lu Xuan money, but Lu Xuan was too busy to keep his hands free and asked Lu Zhou to put it on the cabinet. Before he looked at it, Han Lu clapped her hands and stood up to count for him.
"So much!" Han Lu's eyes lit up, "Brother, give me half of it!"
Lu Xuan's forehead throbbed with veins, but he became calm again as usual, and asked in a deep voice, "Why?"
Han Lu: "I am your sister!"
Lu Xuan took the money bag away from her hand, counted five coins from it and gave it to Xiao Man who was standing aside. He looked at Han Lu, and under her expectant gaze, he took out a copper coin and gave it to Han Lu, "Here."
Han Lu: "One article?!"
Lu Xuan: "Don't forget it."
Han Lu snatched it away and said angrily: "Forget it if you are so angry! Xiaozhou, if you come to me for such a job in the future, I can accompany you to sell fried dough sticks."
Lu Zhou touched the tip of his nose and said, "My brother is back, so we won't go."
Han Lu angrily accused Lu Xuan: "Look at eldest brother, he doesn't even want Xiaozhou Xiaowen's money. Look at you, you just give me one penny! It's not enough to buy candy!"
Lu Xuan sprinkled salt into the pickle jar, "Don't give it back to me."
Han Lu snorted, and Ma Liu stuffed the copper coin into her small purse, and handed Lu Xuan two duck eggs.
Their chickens and ducks have laid a lot of eggs recently, and they won't be able to eat them all for a while. Tan Shitou said that salted duck eggs are easy to sell, so his family pickled them.
Lu Xuan and Han Lu were busy bickering, but they didn't delay in working together. Lu Xuan sealed the vat, and Han Lu handed him oil paper and hemp rope without saying anything. As soon as he moved the vat, Han Lu tacitly moved the broom and dustpan out of his way.
The two of them bickered and the whole family was used to it. Even Xiao Man pretended not to hear it and asked Lu Zhou softly, "Brother Zhou, are you at home in the twelfth month?"
Lu Zhou: "Yes."
Xiaoman: "Brother, I want to go and play in the twelfth month."
Lu Xuan: "Go."
Han Lu: "Brother, I want to play too."
Lu Xuan: "Don't go!"
It was just before dinner when there were many people in the shop, and she still wanted to run away?
Hanlu: "Grandma!"
Grandma Lu was sitting outside the shop drying vegetables. She heard the sound and smiled and said, "Go ahead and come back early."
Han Lu Feng Feng Huo Huo pulled Xiao Man away, fearing that Lu Xuan would catch her.
When Lu Zhou went home, Han Lu and Xiao Man arrived before him, and they were reading books together with December. Lu Zhou walked around the house and sure enough, his eldest brother was missing again.
At this time, everyone's work is almost done, and it's not dark yet. There are always people coming to see Yuan Manniang to discuss embroidery stitches.
There were so many female relatives coming, there was always someone who couldn't help but catch his brother for matchmaking, and his eldest brother didn't even dare to go home until dark.
Lu Xu hid in Yan Junqi's study, looking through the account book he brought back from Guanyang.
Tan Shitou and Liang Shanbao were good at other things, but they really had no talent in accounting, so Lu Xu could just make do with it.
It's urgent to find a bookkeeper.
Lu Xu probably had some idea, so he closed the ledger, dug out Yan Junqi's private ledger and drew some pictures.
"I want to rent a row of shops to sell snacks. What do you think?"
"a row?"
"Yeah." Lu Xu and Yan Junqi talked about his plan.
He had originally planned to buy a row of stores, but the stores were too expensive and there was no one to sell them in a row, so it never happened. After walking around the capital this time, Lu Xu discovered that there are many small alleys selling food in the capital, and the business is actually pretty good. As long as the food is delicious, it doesn't have to be next to the main street.
As for how to divert traffic from the street, anyway, they already have a grocery store and a grocery store on East Street. When the time comes, he will just hang some promotional posters outside the store and give out some coupons.
With his mind open, Lu Xu was busy looking for a shop in the county.
He wants to rent one, but it won't be easy to find one for a while.
There are some ready-made ones, and Song Liu's gambling house is very suitable. Unfortunately, they are selling them and he can't afford them.
Before the autumn harvest, the county is peaceful and quiet. The autumn air is crisp and the fruits are fragrant. People in the county are busy shopping for the Mid-Autumn Festival. As long as the conditions are not too poor, they will buy some fresh fruits as offerings. Their grocery stores, The Shanhuo Shop's business is exceptionally good.
The variety of cold dishes at Lu Xu is gradually decreasing. In addition to selling cold dishes every day, there is also a pumpkin pie.
The third and fourth aunts all grew a lot of melons, and many people in the village exchanged melons for oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar, and they accumulated a lot of melons. Pumpkin is cheap, sweet, and you don’t even need to add sugar. Once it’s steamed, make a ball of glutinous rice flour, make it into a cake, and fry it. It’s sweet, glutinous, and fragrant.
The only pity is that it was not very hot when it was brought from home.
The freshly fried ones are still delicious, but he still has to find a shop.
Originally, Lu Xu wanted to make mooncakes, but his family didn't have an oven at his third uncle's and fourth uncle's homes. It would be a bit of a hassle to build one now, so Lu Xu didn't bother and went to Suji to buy three packs of mooncakes the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
They also eat moon cakes locally. Su Ji also ordered a lot of chestnuts, walnuts, and preserved fruits from their store to make fillings. Lu Xu went to buy moon cakes. Su Ji also gave him, the "second boss," a discount and a small gift box. .
He took the mooncakes home and divided them among the family, and gave the small gift box to the twelfth moon.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lu Xu didn't go out to the stall, so she couldn't make moon cakes, but she could still make some snacks.
He invited the little beans from three families to come to his house. Those who could go to the kitchen would go to the kitchen, and those who couldn't would wash the vegetables.
In addition to the popular pumpkin cakes, osmanthus cakes, and rice candy cakes these days, Lu Xu also made sesame balls and hawthorn sugar snowballs.
It took him two days to carry the hawthorns down from the mountain. The hawthorns given to him in the shop were big, round, and very beautiful.
Lu Xu originally wanted to make candied haws, but the weather was not cold enough. He was afraid that the sugar would melt before he could eat it, so he might as well fry a sugar snowball and make the remaining canned hawthorns.
There is not much technical content in frying sugar snowballs. The main thing is to control the heat, clean the pot, add sugar and water over high heat, stir constantly, cook until the sugar is completely melted, then boil over low heat until large bubbles form, and then When you see small bubbles, add some white vinegar and turn off the heat, stir evenly and let it dry for a while, pour in the hawthorns, and keep stirring until the syrup becomes sandy and sticks to the hawthorns like white snow. The sugar snowballs, which are white and rosy and look like flowers blooming in the snow, are ready.
They had never eaten sugar snowballs in the twelfth lunar month, but they were both greedy and distressed when such a large pot of sugar melted and bubbled in the pot.
That much sugar is enough for them to soak in as much water and eat for as long as they want!
"Brother, what a waste!"
"Brother, what a waste!"
The eldest brother was ruthless and poured the clean hawthorns of Twelve Moon, Xiaoyu, and Xiaoman into the pot, and stirred and stirred. The three little carrots stepped on their feet and saw snow falling in the pot, and their eyes were all wide and round.
Lu Xu took out the sugar snowballs and handed one to each person, "Try to see if it's sweet."
The little carrot heads have gone through this kind of sex with all kinds of color, fragrance and flavor, and each of them doesn't feel like it was wasted.
Lu Xu took advantage of the victory and asked with a candy snowball: "Who is the most powerful?"
La Yue said crisply: "Brother!"
Lu Xu gave her another one.
Lu Xu asked again: "Who is the most powerful?"
This time the little carrot heads shouted in unison: "Brother!"
Lu Wen, who was washing vegetables outside, twitched his mouth when he heard it, and said to Lu Xuan, who was killing the fish: "The most shameless one is the eldest brother."
Han Lu complained while cutting the meat, "Lu Zhou has been kicked out, do you still expect that you can join Xiao Yu and the others just waiting to eat?"
Their eldest brother first said that he would make delicious food and lure them all here. When they come, they will divide the work one by one. If you don't work, you won't be allowed to eat. You should wash vegetables, chop vegetables, and chop firewood. Except for one-year-old Lu Rui, who can play as he pleases without listening to instructions, even five-year-old Lu Yue and Lu Fu can wash their hands decently. Hawthorn.
Han Lu looked eagerly towards the kitchen and saw Xiao Man running out with a sugar snowball in his hand. He immediately said, "Xiao Man, is it delicious?"
Xiaoman ran straight towards her, stuffed one into her mouth, and held up the other to Lu Xuan, "It's delicious! Sister eats it, brother eats it!"
Then Xiaoyu ran out, feeding Xiaoxia with one hand and Lu Wen with the other. Twelfth Moon also ran out, her mother and Lu Zhou. After feeding them, they ran back, one for each.
Lu Rui held his little ball and looked left and right. Everyone was eating. Lu Fu and Wen Zhen were also sitting on the small bench eating, but he was not!
He ran to catch the twelfth moon and raised his head and said "ah".
La Yue rubbed his little head and said, "Brother said you are too young to eat."
Lu Rui was shocked and in disbelief. He held the ball and ran to the kitchen, chasing Lu Xu: "Ah ah ah brother ah ah."
Lu Xu took one bite at a time, his cheeks were bulging, and he said vaguely: "Ah, what, just don't eat it, your two little teeth are sore."
Lu Rui persisted, raising his head and showing his little white teeth: "Ah!"
Lu Xu: "Okay, okay, I'll give you a lick."
