Chapter 024 Pooling Money 2
The Zheng family has already arranged several dishes here, plus Luo Ran has just washed them, which is simply a big meal compared to usual, of course, it can't be compared with the rich and noble.
Meat dishes include: stir-fried pork with beans, stewed vermicelli with cabbage and pork, sliced pork with fungus, and stir-fried meat with green peppers
Vegetarian dishes: hot and sour shredded potatoes, scrambled eggs with leeks, garlic eggplant, fried bean sprouts, cold cucumber
Soup: large bone kelp soup, tomato and egg soup
Staple food: mixed flour steamed buns, multigrain rice, cakes
Each ingredient and soup is served in a large basin, and the meat and vegetables are served in a small basin. However, the small basin is also larger than the usual plates, and can hold more. Luo Ran Zaili praised thanks to Zheng's good cooking skills and good knife work, each piece of meat is thin, and more than two catties of meat can make so many meat dishes, and it doesn't look like there is less meat.
Although everything is a very ordinary dish, it can't stand Zheng's good cooking skills, and it can be regarded as full of color, flavor, and flavor, not to mention that Luo Ran's food has really shrunk greatly compared to modern times, and he has been staying on the food and clothing line, so he is about to drool this time. It's just that when he saw Zheng's hot rice and other dishes in the pot and warmed them, Luo Ran knew that he had to wait for the uncle's family to come back.
Speak of the devil. When Luo Ran came out of the kitchen, he saw the big house and his family go to the main room. Luo Ran wanted to follow, but after Luo Wenming saw it, he scolded: "Daddy and grandparents are talking about business, and the children are going to play." ”
"Sister is much bigger than you, little brat!" Luo Ran thought in his heart, but he didn't say anything, lifted the curtain, and shouted, "Grandparents, the meal is ready!" ”
"Put it there first, and then put it later." Qin shouted in the room.
"Dad-" Luo Youxiao was about to speak, but was interrupted by Old Man Luo.
"Alas...... It's better to eat first and talk about it after a while. Luo Ran could clearly hear Old Man Luo's "Alas......" was definitely a sigh, not a response to Luo Youxiao's "Dad".
After a while, the meal was set, this time the whole family ate together, because there were more people, so they put two tables together.
At the dinner table, but there is something to do, everyone is happy, and this does not include Old Man Luo. Luo Zhu watched his wife, son, grandchildren and grandchildren eat happily, and did not eat a few chopstick dishes at all, but only ate two cakes and rice in the bowl.
After the meal, Luo Youxiao's family and Luo Youli and Luo Youfu were all called by Luo Zhu in the main room, Luo Ran saw that Luo Wenming and Luo Ping were also there, so he followed in the footsteps of his brother and found a small bench to sit down with Luo Wenxuan under the Zheng family.
"Call a few of them, too." Old Man Luo looked at a few people below, and said to Luo Qiao. After a while, the big main room seemed to be more crowded, out of the eldest family and the old man Luo's Qin family Luo Qiao sat on the kang, everyone else sat on the bench, and the children sat on the small bench or stood.
"Boss, say it."
"Father, mother, the child's uncle said that there is a way, he is a person he knows in the town, and he is very reliable, there are exam papers from previous years for several years, but he needs more silver." Luo Youxiao said first.
"How much do you need?"
"Fifty taels."
Everyone fell silent after hearing the "fifty taels", and it seemed that they were surprised. Luo Ran knew that this ancient test paper was more expensive, but he didn't expect it to be so expensive, he felt that there must be a problem, don't be the uncle's family who want to be greedy for some of it. In ancient times, prices were not as skyrocketing as in modern times, and money was worthless. In ancient times, five taels of silver was the annual cost of a rural family, which was fifty taels, which could be called "huge money".
"So many, didn't you buy last year's exam papers last time? It's just that you want to buy the first two years, why do you need so much? "Old Man Luo also feels too much, and he definitely can't take it out of his own house.
"Grandpa, this time is different. This time not only includes the test papers of previous years, but also several similar test papers from Confucianism, which are said to be pre-test papers, which are particularly accurate. ”
When Luo Wenming said this, did he want to "buy test questions" in advance? That's a leak!
"Wen Ming, are you honestly saying that what you bought this time is just a prediction question?" Old Man Luo was also guessing whether it was "buying test questions", so he asked with a serious face, if it really involved "leaking questions", it would be a crime, and it would be to remove his fame and examination qualifications.
Luo Wenming saw that Old Man Luo had a serious face, so he was a little anxious, and swore an oath: "Grandpa, it's a prediction question, but it is said that some people have revealed some test questions according to the hobbies of the questioner." Moreover, there will definitely be no problems, several houses in the town have also bought this test paper, this time thanks to their introduction, otherwise there would not be results so quickly. ”
"Dad, don't hesitate, this time it's thanks to the child, his classmates and the child's uncle, even if someone else's family has money, they don't necessarily have a way, but people say that some people buy this test paper, but they don't wait for anyone, and they don't let it be passed on." Luo Youxiao continued.
The eldest aunt Zhao also began to say at this time: "Daddy, you see, this time in the literary name exam, if there is this test paper in the addition of literary name talent, it will definitely be able to learn, but our family is a talent, not to mention in the village, it can also be said in the town." And after passing the show, then you can take the exam, and then you will be able to take the exam, so it is not far from being an official. Zhao paused for a moment and continued: "At that time, Wen Ming was blessed when he was born, and this opportunity must be seized, and our family will come out in the future, and it will be the housekeeper." ”
It seems that this uncle's family is really powerful, one can fool more than the other, especially this Zhao family, it really talks about the old man Luo's heart, and he takes psychological attacks and hits the nail on the head.
Sure enough, Luo Zhu no longer hesitated about whether to buy it, "It's just that these fifty taels are too much, and our family can't make it up, let's see if we can make that person cheaper." ”
After hearing this, a few people knew that Old Man Luo had decided to buy it. The uncle's family took one look at each other and decided to make persistent efforts. Zhao Shi spoke up first: "Dad, mother, we also know that our family is not easy, and the money is not handy, my maternal uncle said that this time for the sake of the literary name exam, give us ten taels of silver first, as long as you make an IOU, and then pay it back." Our family only needs forty taels. ”
"Forty taels is also a big number, and we can't afford it." After Luo Zhu finished speaking, he looked at the Qin family, meaning to ask, "How much silver does our family have now?" Obviously, the Qin clan knew what Luo Zhu meant, but he didn't cooperate much: "Look at what I'm doing, when I'm a vault, I can't spend enough money." Feed a large family, but there are not a few taels left. ”
"How much is there, how do I make it up?"
"What do you yell at me, there are eight taels of silver left."
"How can it be that there are only eight taels, isn't there still ......?"
"You are an old immortal, and you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil, and salt are when you don't belong to your family. I have to pay for all the expenses of the family, and I am old, but I even took out the coffin book. Don't get a straw mat to solve the problem, my miserable ......"
Old Man Luo looked at the Qin family like this, "Don't talk nonsense, it's important to make money now." ”
"Don't just look for me, what about your sons and daughters-in-law." Qin said, wanting others to glance at it, it could not be said that it was meaningless.
