Chapter Seventy-Eight: The War of the Covenant
Xia Cao looked down at the paper, trying to make out the crooked handwriting on it, and read aloud, "Tomorrow, under the big peach tree by the crescent creek, we will meet for a battle." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoWhoever doesn't come is Ah Huang in the village! On February 15, the fifteenth year of the Great Qi Dynasty, Li Mingyang. ”
It's so simple and rude, and they are not Huashan swords, and the big guys understand that they are martial arts. But now they're different, okay? How to compare? Than what? It should always be written clearly.
"Your cousin, you're not writing something?" Xia Cao asked Li Mingxuan.
Li Mingxuan listened to Xia Cao's question, and a pimple in his heart, his cousin's urine, isn't he still clear? Just those words above consumed all the patience of his cousin, and he had to record a lot of the game process he said, and it is estimated that there is no need to compare, his cousin was paralyzed first.
Li Mingxuan said embarrassedly: "My cousin also said that I will run faster with you tomorrow." But he asked the two of you to tie your hands together with ropes, and he said he would tie them with one of them as well. Xiaocao's shameless conditions, don't agree. ”
Li Mingxuan stayed up for so many days, thinking about it for a long time, Xia Maihe's personal ability is too strong, he can't be sure of 100% victory, if he takes Xia Cao's short legs, it may not be, if the two run together, he believes that this little man will greatly drag down Xia Maihe's speed, so is he far from winning the game?
"Brother Mingxuan, you tell him that I agreed. However, the loser has to agree to one condition. Xia Cao folded the battle post with "earthworms" crawling on it, and said nonchalantly.
"I promise you! Two or three conditions are fine. Li Mingyang's voice sounded behind.
Li Mingyang ate the buns, felt that the taste was not bad, just wanted to come out for a walk, digest it, and fight again after dinner, when he heard that this little man was so good, he agreed, thinking that he would definitely win, and he had no reason not to agree, and he could also trick them into helping him wash his clothes, so that these two people could deeply understand how hateful it was to damage his new clothes.
The two people who negotiated the terms of the game high-fived as an oath.
Then Xia Cao also went home with the eldest brother.
"Mother, how much did we earn today? Have the copper plates been counted? Xia Cao rubbed over to Su's side after dinner and asked.
"You ask your eldest brother, he is counting this afternoon." Su Shi touched Xia Cao's hair and said.
If it is true that his family's money-related things can't escape the clutches of her eldest brother, "Big brother, how much does our family earn." Natsukusa continued,
Xia Qiaomu put down the book in his hand and said seriously: "Before deducting the meat we bought today, we still have half a penny left." ”
A hanging of money is a tael of silver, a thousand copper plates, so they don't earn a tael of silver a day even with costs, and his father went into the mountains to hunt for a day without capital for ten days. It's hard to do a small business.
Seeing his sister's depressed appearance, Xia Qiaomu said kindly: "Although we don't make much money today, we are so famous." And from tomorrow onwards, our soy milk, bamboo tubes are no longer provided for free, and we should be able to earn a lot. ”
Xia Cao felt that she wanted to fork it when she heard it, although the current buns are a little harder, but the source of income is stable, there are no risk factors, sell buns well, usually she is thinking of another idea to make extra money, and life should get better soon.
With the experience of selling steamed buns on the first day, the Xia family's work and rest time on the second day was the same as the day before, and the mother and father still got up in the middle of the night to make steamed buns, and they also got up at dawn to drive the ox cart to the town.
Today's business of the bun shop, Xia Cao, thought that without the impact of yesterday's emergency, it would be a lot colder, but I didn't expect that a lot of people came one after another, and some were introduced by neighbors.
"Master!" Li Tang's voice suddenly appeared next to his ears.
"Master, you packed fifty buns and a bucket of soy milk and sent it to our Li Mansion. Steward Li came over to pay. ”
"Xiaotang, your family really wants so much. This is no joke. Su said.
"This lady is like this, yesterday our wife thought that your steamed buns and soy milk were good, and the price was fair. It's also troublesome to make breakfast in the house every day, and Mrs. will send a villain to come over to procure it today, if the effect is good, the breakfast in the house will be all inclusive for you in the future. The old man who was housekeeper Li said.
Speaking of which, Li Tang also worked hard to get closer to Xia Muhan, and yesterday he described to his grandmother how delicious the Xia family's steamed bun shop was, the most important thing was that the meat in the steamed bun was game, which hung up the appetite of the big leader in his backyard.
Then he complained about how unpalatable the breakfast in the Li Mansion was, and it had remained the same for so many years. In the end, he complained that in order to provide water for breakfast in the kitchen of the house, he had to pick up a few more buckets of water every morning, and his hands were sore.
Looking at her teary-eyed little grandson, Mother Li was distressed, thinking about the buns of wild meat, and immediately sent someone to call Yang Qiyue.
The old lady said to Yang Qiyue in an ordered tone, "In the future, there is no need to cook breakfast in the Li Mansion, you can buy it directly from the Xia family's shop, and if anyone wants to open a small stove, they will pay for it themselves." ”
Yang Qiyue looked at only buying steamed buns, unlike what she had to do in the past, she should be able to save a lot of money, as the housewife of the house, she thinks about how to budget carefully and reduce expenses every day, and now that good things are delivered to the door, the wicked person is not for her to do, can she not nod and agree?
However, on the surface, it was still said that they would give the Xia family's steamed buns a day to consider and see if the Xia family's steamed buns could be used as a long-term supplier to their Li Mansion.
"Mu Han, you send these buns and soy milk to the Li Mansion! It is also inconvenient for an elderly person and a child to carry them. Su said.
Early this morning, Li Tang didn't pick up the water like chicken blood, and pulled Steward Li to walk in the direction of Taste Hall in a hurry, and no one brought any of them.
"Thank you, Master!" Li Tang said sweetly.
Their ox cart was tied to the vicinity of the Taste Hall, and Xia Muhan directly carried the steamer and soy milk to the cart and drove to the Li Mansion.
"Don't come up yet." Xia Muhan said to Li Tang.
Li Tang, who made an ox cart for the first time, was quite a novelty, he had been riding a horse-drawn cart since he was a child, and he was knocking restlessly on the ox cart with only one wooden plank.
Being able to be with the wise and martial master, Li Tang, who is a fan of the girl, is bubbling with happiness, and he praises his wit yesterday.
He kept asking how the master had become an archer, and how much he still needed to train to become an archer like Xia Muhan.
Of course, it was impossible for Xia Muhan to tell him that this was on the verge of life and death, accumulated little by little, and comforted him not to be in a hurry and take his time.
Xia Cao saw that the flow of people who came to their house gradually decreased, and she was not so busy, so she proposed to her mother that she would send a few steamed buns and soy milk to Bai Jide to thank him for taking care of their family a few days ago.
As soon as she heard this, Su Shi felt that she still had to support her daughter who knew Entubao, so she nodded and agreed, but she still had to call Xia Maihe to carry the bun. (To be continued.) )
