MTL - The Sweet Little Fulang-Chapter 168 one more
As soon as the sun came out in the morning, there were many people on the street. Water sellers were pushing unicycles, and the wheels of the carts squeaked and squeaked on the bluestone slabs. Set up the stall, you can smell the aroma of many food.
After the Chinese New Year, the couplets posted in front of every door are still very new. Passing by the umbrella shop and lantern shop along the street, the umbrella maker and the lantern maker hang their things up, and the umbrellas and lanterns are shaking when the wind blows.
The mule was walking on the street, and Shen Xuanqing was sitting in front of the cart he was pulling, driving the mule cart all the way to the alley beside the brothel.
In the early morning, other shops and stores were open, and the guys and bosses were busy. Only the people in the brothel got up late.
He knocked on the small door, and someone came to open it soon after registering his name. Together, he unloaded the rabbit cage on the trolley. After moving in, Shen Xuanqing took away the empty rabbit cage last time. He didn't meet Luo Biao today. , he didn't let the little cook to shout, each has their own things to do, and it's the same when we see you next time.
The six rabbits cost two hundred and seventy dollars. After putting the money in, he said goodbye to the little cook and drove the mule cart to turn away.
From another month to mid-February, the litter of fifty-six rabbits will be able to be sold for half a year. Now some green grass has emerged, and in a few days, they will be able to dig in the wild fields in the mountains. Feed that litter, and it will definitely grow fatter than this time.
In addition to the brothel, there is also a tavern at Brother Yang Xian's side in Jixing Town that will also be delivered every once in a while, because he is his own person, and there is such a big face as Lao Yang Tou and his wife, the rabbit in autumn and winter is fat and fur, Shen Xuanqing It's 35 cents a piece, which is a little cheaper than the market price outside, but it's reasonable. If you buy more, it will naturally be cheaper. He has to send 10 pieces each time. Jin Cave, if Yang Xian didn't need the skin, he could still sell the rabbit skin.
Rabbits are born so many and fast, they can't be kept all the time. No matter whether they are high or low, as long as they sell them, they will make money. A carload of firewood came to the town to sell, and the sum of money saved was enough for daily expenses.
The people in the town couldn't drive the mules to run, and Shen Xuanqing didn't wave much with the whip in his hand. At the door of the silver shop, he pulled the reins to stop the mules, got off the trolley and shouted inside: "Man, help me get the things out. ."
He came alone, not to chase after the mules if they were frightened and ran off in the street.
The guy who was cleaning the silverware inside heard the movement, and when he saw it was him, he took a bracelet wrapped in red cloth from the cabinet and ran out.
The guy held the red cloth in the palm of his hand and opened it, and said with a smile on his face, "Come over."
Shen Xuanqing picked up the silver bracelet and checked it carefully. This bracelet is thicker than the one he bought for Lu Gu before. The sun shone brightly and the silver pattern was engraved on it. This pattern was drawn by his old master before. , the original model was engraved on it.
"That's it." He was very satisfied. He wrapped the bracelet in red cloth and stuffed it into his arms. Then he opened the purse and gave the money to the man. Since the shopkeeper didn't come out, he said when he gave the money, "So the money will be It's all set."
"It's all set, the shopkeeper once instructed, you have given the money, just pay the rest." The man took the money with a smile on his face, and said a few words in a row to walk slowly, and then went back to the shopkeeper. pay.
In the yard, Lu Gu has nothing to do in the sun doing embroidery work. The mud stove under the eaves has added some firewood, and several bone sticks have been stewed in the large clay pot above. The dogs at home are surrounded by mud regardless of their size. The furnace went around, and the good boy was still barking, and the puppy also learned to bark after it.
The meat and bones are stewed and eaten by Lu Gu himself. There are few vegetables that can be eaten in winter, such as woks, radishes and winter bamboo shoots. He likes meat recently, and Shen Xuanqing often buys them, either to the town or to Meng Dayue.
He felt greedy when he smelled the smell of the meat. He thought that there were too many bones in the stewed meat. When Shen Xuanqing came back to eat together, the mother and elder brother could also grab a few sticks and eat them when they came over. It was very cheap.
The clay stove and the clay pot were very hot, even though the bones had two long prongs sticking out, Lu Gu had taught the greedy boy a lesson before, spanked a few times, and Da Hui was watching, and the others The dogs didn't dare to steal the bones and eat them. The two puppies were a little shorter, and they were not as tall as the clay pot, so don't bother.
Good boy was really greedy, sobbing and sobbing sounded like he was about to cry, Lu Gu bit off the embroidery thread and looked up at it, and good boy came over to rub his calf, and kept wagging his tail trying to please him.
"Why are you so greedy, wait a little longer, simmer for a while, Erqing will come back for you to eat bones." Lu Gu rubbed his head and whispered a few words of comfort.
Seeing that Lu Gu didn't move, the good boy whined a few times, and put the dog's head on Lu Gu's lap, looking like a coward.
"Oh, oh, you go down, my legs are covered with your hair." Lu Gu wanted to push the dog's head down, but the pants were not easy to wash, but the good boy didn't want to, so one person and one dog would pull and push and refuse.
It wasn't until Dahui they barked at the door and ran out, the good boy was reluctant to walk away, he didn't go to meet Shen Xuanqing, he stood beside the mud stove with straight eyes, staring at the flesh and bones, It was only after Shen Xuanqing entered the door that it wagged its tail perfunctorily.
Having raised so many dogs, Shen Xuanqing asked himself that he was not bad for dogs. He never thought that the good boy would be so unpromising, he could even forget his "father" because of the flesh and bones. He smiled and bent down and patted the good boy's butt.
The mule was standing in the courtyard, and the dog moved its hooves a few times. After Shen Xuanqing removed the newly bought big iron pot from the trolley, he untied the rope on his body and said, "In the butcher of Zhao I bought three catties of meat there, I see that you like to eat bone sticks lately, so I bought more and stewed it if you want, there is enough firewood at home."
Lu Gu looked at the big iron pot on the ground, and the meat and bones in it, and couldn't help laughing. Several dogs also gathered around to look at the iron pot, so he took out the meat and bones and put it in a cage in the main room to cover it.
Shen Xuanqing led the mule to the backyard, and said uneasy, "Don't move the pot and the trolley, I'll move it later."
"Okay." Lu Gu agreed with a smile, carrying the wooden basin to the front of the water tank to scoop water.
When Shen Xuanqing tied the mule to wash his hands, he had already tasted the bones in front of the mud stove, took a small bite, and separated the meat from the bones without much effort, and almost sprinkled some salt.
"Bring a bowl too." Lu Gu turned his head and smiled, and he took a few bites of the meat with the small bones in his hand.
This action caused the dogs in the house to bark.
Shen Xuanqing picked up the bowl on the table. The bowl was not used to put the bones, but because the meat on the bones would be too rotten and fall off. Seeing that Lu Gu couldn't wait to stand in front of the mud stove and nibble on the bones, he smiled and brought the chair over to sit down. Bring the salt bowl, dip it in salt and eat it more fragrant.
He lifted the big clay pot and put it on the ground, and put the other clay pot with water in the tandoor to burn it. After a while, it would be hot to wash hands or drink water.
Before lunch, the two of them gnawed on four or five meat and bone sticks here, and even the two pups each got a small bone on the ground, hugged and chewed.
Lu Gu felt satisfied to eat bones in the sun, his appetite has been increasing recently, if he didn't want to save a few for the rest of the family, otherwise he would have finished eating with Shen Xuanqing.
Washing the greasy hands with wild bath beads, Lu Gu was wiping his hands when Shen Xuanqing took out a red cloth from his arms and opened it with a smile.
The silver bracelet is shiny and shiny, and you can tell it is new at a glance.
"I'll change it for you." Shen Xuanqing was very happy. He was too busy a few years ago and during the New Year's Eve, so he didn't bother to buy a piece of jewelry for Lu Gu, and the silversmith was resting during the New Year's Eve, so he'll make up for it today.
Lu Gu was wearing last year's one on his left wrist. He hadn't taken it off much since he put it on. It was only a year old, so Shen Xuanqing bought him another one.
He wanted to talk too much, it was obvious that Shen Xuanqing was so happy, but he didn't say anything when he came to the mouth, the corners of his eyebrows, eyes and lips curled up, he reached out to take the bracelet, and when he saw that it was engraved with Hemiao Gusui, he was full of joy, and he was very happy about this. The silver bracelet is so in love with it, Shen Xuanqing bought him a silver hairpin with ears of grain in the past, and he was overjoyed when he touched it.
After taking off the old bracelet, he directly put the new bracelet on his wrist, touched it and turned it around, raised his head and said with a smile, "It's beautiful."
Shen Xuanqing became more and more happy, wrapped the old bracelet he took off in red cloth, handed it over and said, "It looks good, just put this one away, and put on two when I go back. The sun hasn't been so bright for a long time, so I'll take it to the town. Wipe it off."
"Yeah." Lu Gu took the red cloth, agreed and walked into the room.
The mule ran back and forth, and after a while, it was time to feed some fodder, so Shen Xuanqing went to the backyard to work.
Just as Lu Gu stuffed the red cloth into the bottom of the box, he heard a dog barking outside. It was Wei Lanxiang and the others who had entered the door.
I got up early to feed the livestock. Today is a good day. Wei Lanxiang, Shen Yan and Shen Yaoqing carried shovels and shovels to the river to dig dragons. Chickens and ducks haven't eaten many insects all winter. These are in the basket. Twisting earth dragons make up for them.
The three of them had mud all over their bodies when they came back. Lu Gu hurriedly came out and scooped up the water to wash his hands. Seeing that the bones were all stewed, Shen Yan washed them neatly and picked up a bone stick to eat without drying his hands.
"Sprinkle some salt." Lu Gu brought the salt bowl to her.
It is most satisfying to gnaw the bones with the hands. Shen Yan's mouth is full of oil, and he didn't forget to smirk. Wei Lanxiang and Shen Yaoqing came to eat after washing their hands. What a good day for meat.
Lu Gu added water to the pot of boiling water, and said with a smile, "Er Qing came back and bought three kilograms of meat and some bones. I want to eat it and have it tomorrow."
"Is the pot bought by the second child?" Wei Lanxiang saw the big iron pot on the table as soon as she entered the door. She walked over there while eating, and touched the iron pot with the other hand.
"It's not." Lu Gu put down the gourd and said, "I can also cook here in the future. I don't have to run home during the spring and autumn harvest, and I can rest here after dinner."
Hearing this, Wei Lanxiang nodded straight, but no, farming is really tiring. It's good to have a stove, and you can eat on both sides.
After feeding the mules, Shen Xuanqing walked into the main room, saw the earth dragon writhing with the silt in the basket, smiled and said, "So many."
"I dug several ditches, and even my shoes got wet inside. I wanted to come back, but it would be troublesome if I wanted to wash my shoes, so I just dug more." , I feel cold on my feet when I say it, so I'd better sunbathe a little more, and then go back to change my shoes after eating.
Shen Xuanqing picked up the heavy basket and walked to the backyard, chopped it up casually and threw it to the chickens and ducks to eat. Although it was mixed with wet mud, the weight of such a large basket was really heavy, enough to eat for two days.
For these chickens and ducks, Wei Lanxiang is very attentive. After feeding them, they will not lay soft eggs. After the spring of this year, she still wants to hatch more chickens and ducklings, but she can't wait for them, so she raises them every year. Batch, you can continue to sell later.
After she finished chewing one, she threw the bone to the dog. Lu Gu saw it next to her, and took another bone and handed it over.
Wei Lanxiang was full of smiles. After she caught it, she suddenly saw that the silver bracelet on Lu Gu's wrist was even brighter than before, and subconsciously said, "Oh, this is a new bracelet?"
Lu Gu was a little embarrassed, but nodded and said, "Well, Erqing just came back and said that he bought it in the town."
Wei Lanxiang has the money given by Shen Xuanqing, she rarely cares how Shen Xuanqing spends it, it's not fun to beg, she heard the words with a smile: "If you buy it for you, you can wear it, now it's different, if the second boy doesn't give it to you If you buy it, that’s not justified.”
"Yeah." Lu Gu responded with a smile. After the diagnosis of the hi pulse, everyone in the family told him to take care of him in peace. Well, there are few troubles.
