MTL - The Sweet Little Fulang-Chapter 53 one more

The mountain road is rugged, and it is not easy to walk when you pull the scooter. Not to mention the muddy after rain, it is easy to slip under your feet when going uphill and downhill. After the sun came out for two days, the ground became dry.

Lu Gu walked in front of the dwarf deer, Shen Xuanqing pulled the scooter, the wheels of the cart creaked, the dog cubs ran after Da Hui, and when they saw the dwarf deer stubbornly refused to go, they learned from the big dog. Voice.

Dwarf Lu's front leg was injured, so he walked slowly, and Shen Xuanqing was not in a hurry.

This dwarf deer, like the mule in the village, can also watch people's dishes. If it goes to the grinding table and sees a woman or a husband holding the whip, it will not pull the grinding if the rope is wrapped around it. The woman and husband who were grinding rice noodles could not be seen by a man who could be led by a man, blindfolded, and walked away with a whip in the air.

Lu Gu is not a big threat to the dwarf deer, and sometimes he will pull back the hemp rope desperately, trying to break free and escape. Fortunately, Lu Gu has been on guard, and he is afraid that it will run away, and the hemp rope is very tight.

Seeing it from behind, Shen Xuanqing put down the scooter, picked up the hemp rope from the car as a whip, and slapped the Dwarf Deer a few times.

Although he was not in a hurry, this dwarf deer was dishonest, and it took too much time to go to the end, so Shen Xuanqing patted Da Hui on the neck and told it to go home.

Da Hui, who understood the words, ran away, and the dog had to follow subconsciously. Fortunately, Shen Xuanqing was quick and quick to stop it. The mountain road was far away, and the dog did not run as fast as Da Hui, and it was easy to get lost. The mountains and forests are so big. , once lost, it is not easy to find.

"Da Hei, come back." Shen Xuanqing whistled and stopped the black fine dog running at the back.

The grey-white fine dog was called Da Bai, and he turned around when he heard the whistle, but Shen Xuanqing said "go" to it and ran home first with Da Hui. Da Hui is smart and capable, but it is more reassuring to run back with multiple companions.

"Let Brother Daqing come up and pull the dwarf deer down, so as to save the delay for it on the way." Shen Xuanqing explained while carrying the dog over and put it down in front of Lu Gu.

The puppy is naturally close to Lu Gu every day, and immediately rubs his body against Lu Gu's calf.

There was a black dog, and the pup was no longer in a hurry to bark. It ran in front of him wagging its tail, turning back and barking at Lu Gu from time to time, as if to keep up with it.

After walking for a while, Lu Gu took a few sips of water, then handed the bamboo tube to Shen Xuanqing, and whispered, "You drink."

The dwarf deer was tied to the tree by Shen Xuanqing, and without him dragging, the prey that was slightly scattered on the trolley was gathered. In addition to the prey, there were also bamboo baskets and baskets full of things on the trolley. The two baskets contained ground vegetables and fresh mushrooms, which were specially brought to the family.

Yesterday, the two of them went to dig up a bunch of slender young bamboo shoots. They were not as sweet and tender as spring bamboo shoots, but slightly tenderer than the thick and big old autumn bamboo shoots. They took them home and blanched them, so they could be fried with sliced ​​meat.

They also picked a lot of wild bath beads. In addition to the ones that Lu Gu picked before, there were as many as half a bag in sacks. Even if they were six for a penny, they could sell for at least three or four hundred penny.

There are also people in Qianshan who often pick wild bath beads to sell. Lu Gu can sell so much money at a time, which is a lot, but he has taken a longer and farther mountain road than others to bring it down. How can he make money so easily Yes, I picked a lot from that old tree, and the remaining ones haven't grown up yet, so he has to look around to see where there is still a wild bath bead tree.

After hearing Da Hui's cry again, Lu Gu looked forward, and it didn't take long for Wei Lanxiang and the three to appear in front of him.

"Er Qing, Gu Zi." Before they got to the front, as soon as they saw Wei Lanxiang, they called out to them with a smile.

Lu Gu and Shen Xuanqing naturally responded, seeing that Shen Yaoqing was not here, Shen Xuanqing knew that he was doing a day job and was not at home.

Ji Qiuyue was very discerning. As soon as he came over, he took the hemp rope from Lu Gu's hand and said with a smile, "This dwarf deer is quite fat."

Seeing Dwarf Deer's stubborn temper, Ji Qiuyue dragged it twice and didn't leave. Wei Lanxiang was used to farm work, and her hands were not light. In her eyes, Lu Gu was timid, and he must have been light in his hand, so he took the hemp from the scooter. When the whip whipped the dwarf deer a few times, he turned his head and said to Lu Gu, "You and Shen Yan go to push the cart, and I'll pull with you and your sister-in-law."

Hearing this, Lu Gu nodded in agreement, and followed Shen Yan to the back of the cart to push the cart.

When they reached the steeper hillside, Wei Lanxiang also came to push them. The three of them hunched their waists hard, and Shen Xuanqing, who was pulling the cart in front, was obviously lighter.

When there are more people, the road is more lively, and the puppy is very excited. After all, it is small, and Lu Gu obviously hurts it. After walking a little bit on the mountain road, Shen Xuanqing took it on the trolley, and now it got off the trolley. Jumping down, running and dancing with wagging tails, a few people went home after chatting and laughing amid the barking sound.

After eating, Lu Gu took four sachets from the room, handed them to Ji Qiuyue who was going to wash clothes with a wooden tub, and said, "Sister-in-law, this is for you and Brother Daqing."

"It's so ingenious." Ji Qiuyue hurriedly put the wooden basin on the ground, took the sachet, smelled it, and said, "It's beautiful, the smell of this medicine is quite good, it smells like it can refresh the mind. ."

The herbs inside were all found by Lu Gu in the mountains. Among them, the cool and refreshing herbs were the most difficult to find. He spent a long time in the mountains to find them. It took a lot of thought and effort.

"It's really good at embroidering, I'll learn from you tomorrow." Ji Qiuyue knew that Lu Gu was going to embroider a sachet for Wei Lanxiang, but she didn't think that she and Shen Yaoqing would also have it.

Lu Gu was embarrassed to be praised, and lowered his head, but his eyes were full of joy.

Ji Qiuyue went to the river to wash clothes, afraid of losing the sachet, so she went into the room and put the sachet away.

Wei Lanxiang was in the east room, and Lu Gu had two more in his hands. He ran into Ji Qiuyue as soon as he left the room, so he gave them to her first.

"Mother, this is for you." As soon as Lu Gu entered the east room, he saw Wei Lanxiang rummaging through the box, handed the sachet over, saw Shen Yan come over, and gave the rest to Shen Yan .

"This flower embroidery is really smart. Others, where can I find such a skilled husband." Wei Lanxiang took it and looked at it, smiling from ear to ear, and complimented again.

Even Shen Yan was overjoyed, looking at the embroidered flowers on the top with a smile and a pair of almond eyes, she was so big, how could she have such a beautiful sachet.

Everyone in the family has it, Shen Xuanqing naturally also has a sachet, and Lu Gu gave it to him first.

In the afternoon, before it was time to make dinner, Wei Lanxiang was full of smiles, brought Shen Yan to change tofu, and bought some bacon by the way, and fried it with bamboo shoots tomorrow, with a brand-new colorful embroidered sachet hanging from her waist. It's so bright and eye-catching, you should take a look at every villager you meet on the road.

She stopped to show it off. Lu Gu specially made it for her, and she took it off for those people to go and smell it. Look at the color and the embroidery. Even the medicinal materials in it are better than ordinary sachets. Hearing it, she made her show off in front of the third aunt and the sixth grandmother, with a smile on her face.

In the early morning, Lu Gu and Shen Xuanqing went to Fenggu Town. The two went to the morning market first to sell things.

Lu Gu often sells wild bath beads and wolfberry fruit. This time, he also brought some bamboo fungus and mountain persimmon. When he went to dig autumn bamboo shoots yesterday, he picked five fresh ones, and the rest were dried bamboo fungus.

Shen Xuanqing said that both the medical hall and the restaurant accept bamboo sunflower, and the price is good. This thing is one of the treasures of the mountain, and it has a beautiful fragrance. When the time comes, I will go to a few more stores, and whoever sells it at a higher price will sell it at the morning fair. The price would be pressed, so he didn't take out the bamboo fungus.

Wild vegetables and fruits are not worth much, but Lu Gu still brought half a basket of mountain persimmons to sell. All he picked were hard persimmons. He was not afraid of being damaged on the road. How much to sell is how much.

The dwarf deer was led by Shen Xuanqing. On one side of the trolley was the prey, and the other side was Lu Gu's mountain goods. Both of them stood behind the trolley and began to sell.

I have come to town with Shen Xuanqing quite a few times. Lu Gu looks a little timid, but he can say what he should say. Now he is no longer afraid of talking to people, and he can still say a few words to the bargainers, but he I didn't notice such a change.

The market was crowded with people. Hare and pheasant were the best sellers. They were not expensive for people with a little money in the town. They bought one or two and went back to the tooth festival, but the dwarf deer were different. Shen Xuanqing didn't kill them. The whole deer stands here, how can ordinary people afford it, even if they buy it back for a while, they won't be able to eat it all.

Before waiting for the customers who bought the deer, Shen Xuanqing was not in a hurry. When the other items were sold out, he went to the medical center to sell Lu Gu's basket of wolfberry, and then asked the price of the bamboo sun.

The old doctor in the medical center heard them ask about the price of bamboo fungus. This thing is delicious. It can be used for stewing soup and cooking as well as medicinal food. It is more precious than ordinary fungus, and there are very few people who sell it. Second, when people are alive, they will have a bit of appetite, so I asked Shen Xuanqing if he brought it with him.

Seeing that there were both fresh and dried bamboo fungus in the basket, the old doctor twirled his long beard and offered a good price. In this case, Shen Xuanqing nodded, and Lu Gu would come here to sell the wolfberry after he had picked it up. Good deal, and the price is really fair.

So much bamboo fungus sold for three cents of silver, and Lu Gu's eyes widened. Although he sold a lot of money for a large basket of wolfberry, there were very few bamboo suns, and it was really precious to be able to sell three cents of silver. .

After going out, Lu Gu pulled the scooter, and there was a little wild bath beads left on the scooter, which was no different from an empty car. Shen Xuanqing led the dwarf deer, and the two walked towards the Fulai Restaurant.

The Qingxi River flows through Fenggu Town, and there is a prosperous wharf in the west of the town. Shen Xuanqing often came here to work in the past two years, knowing that there are several restaurants here. When those ship owners and merchants come here, they will naturally eat and stay at the restaurant and inn, so it is very lively here.

Fulai Restaurant is the largest restaurant in Fenggu Town. It is a long way from the wharf, but it is not far. This restaurant has been in operation for a long time. It is quite famous in Shili Baxiang. Most of the wealthy are living here.

There are many people coming to the wharf. There are workers who buy and sell goods, and people who sell food and drink. It's not even lunchtime, and there are not many people in Fulai Restaurant.

Shen Xuanqing stopped beside the restaurant, not blocking the door and disturbing the business, let Lu Gu hold Dwarf Deer, and went inside to ask questions.

Lu Gu held the hemp rope tightly, for fear that the dwarf deer would run away. After waiting for a while, he saw Shen Xuanqing come out, followed by a middle-aged man who was the accountant of the Fulai Restaurant.

"Go to the back kitchen and talk." The middle-aged man looked at the dwarf deer and turned into the alley after saying a word.

Shen Xuanqing led the dwarf deer to follow, and Lu Gu followed closely with the scooter. Not far from entering the alley, a small door was open, and he could hear the busy cooking and serving inside.

The accountant didn't make any detours and asked directly, "How much did you sell this dwarf deer?"

"Forty taels." Shen Xuanqing said.

"Forty taels?" The accountant frowned and said, "You're too expensive to sell, and it's not a Merlu, meat wood, and besides peeling the skin and digging out the internal organs, there is not that much meat to eat at all, how about twenty taels? ?"

It's really a bit ruthless to lower the price by half, Shen Xuanqing also frowned and said: "This price is too low, don't look at the meat, it's not a good taste to simmer it in a fire, and now in the cold autumn season, venison is nourishing and strong, and you know how to eat and love. The diners who eat it will naturally come, the deer tendon is not good, but the deer skin and deer bones are all good things, so I won't say anything else, how about thirty taels?"

After some negotiation, Shen Xuanqing was reluctant to sell it too cheaply, and finally sold the dwarf deer for twenty-eight taels, and the accountant would pay twenty-five taels. It is also auspicious, for him, giving up two taels is equivalent to taking a step back.

The dwarf deer is not more expensive than the sika deer, not to mention the long-horned male sika, the female sika is bought even if it is forty taels, but it is not bad to sell for twenty-eight taels.

It was sold for twenty-eight taels of silver in one fell swoop, not twenty-eight coins, nor twenty-eight copper coins. Even if Lu Gu had seen so much when Shen Xuanqing was counting the silver coins in the room before, he was still shocked now. .

Holding the money in one hand and giving it to Dwarf Deer, Shen Xuanqing put the money in his arms, and said goodbye to the accountant with a smile and kindness, then pulled up the scooter and walked out of the alley, with Lu Gu following him closely.

After exiting the alley, Shen Xuanqing's face got bigger and he said, "Brother Daqing is unloading the wood at the dock, go over there to have a look, and have something to eat by the way, there is a braised pork shop over there, the pork offal is good, if you want to eat it Mixed braised soup, the soup can also be made spicy, you can eat a sweat in winter, you can try it too.”

After being busy for most of the morning, I was rushing and shouting, but I couldn't eat. Lu Gu listened to what he said and nodded his head.

Shen Yaoqing was working with others to carry the wood onto the big boat, when he heard Shen Xuanqing's voice coming over, he laughed and said to wait, it will be over soon.

It was a bit crowded with people coming and going, so Shen Xuanqing took Lu Gu to eat the miso soup first. When Shen Yaoqing came over with sweat on his forehead, he also asked for a bowl for him.

When the brothers worked here two years ago, the most fragrant thing was this bowl of miscellaneous stewed soup. Unfortunately, I had no money to buy it at that time. The steamed buns are cold. Today, I can eat it with an open stomach. I want more pork offal in the soup.

Lu Gu didn't dare to eat too spicy, and Shen Xuanqing also added extra pork offal for him, and it was delicious to eat with the baked white cake, but it was a bit expensive.

After eating and resting for a while, Shen Xuanqing and Lu Gu left, and Shen Yaoqing had to wait to see if there was any other work. The crops were not busy, and it was always good to earn more coins outside.

Walk from the wharf to the north of the town, turn the street corner and then go forward to the brothel. There are few people entering during the day. Most of the common people just glance at them when they pass by. As timid as Lu Gu, after knowing what this building is for, Don't even dare to look at it, just walk forward without looking sideways.

Shen Xuanqing pulled the scooter and did not look at the brothel. He lowered his eyes slightly, remembering that he had to go to Luo Biao, but it was not possible at this time. He needed to find an excuse to come to town.

He is not someone who grinds and chirps. He found a reason to find Luo Biao early the next morning. Lu Gu, who stayed at home, knew nothing about it.
