Chapter 148 enters the wax moon again

Luo Youli also said: "There are twelve tables. www.biquge.info didn't have enough tables and chairs at first, but when your grandfather saw a lot of people, he quickly asked me to borrow a few more sets of tables and chairs. ”

"It's a bit awkward." Zheng said.

"Mother, what's wrong? Could it be that someone else said something? Luo Ran hurriedly asked.

Zheng: "I didn't say anything directly, but I had to say a lot, either sour or despised." Someone else asked me today, why did the eldest son of the prefect's family fall in love with Luo Ping. Some people also say that a good girl doesn't want to be the head of the family, but just wants to be a concubine for the sake of wealth. Alas, there is everything. I don't know what your grandparents think. ”

Luo Ran: "Mother, people just say it." It may be that you really can't look down on being a concubine, and some are jealous in your heart and start to talk sour things. Anyway, this matter is already a foregone conclusion, not to mention whether it will be good or not in the future, from the current point of view, this matter is also beneficial to Brother Wenming's future meritorious service, and it is also beneficial to the future development of the Luo family. Grandpa thinks more, bigger, and long-term. Anyway, we don't touch their light. ”

"Yes. We don't care what happens to others. Anyway, it's good that you guys are good. Zheng's picture of a good child is really good, which moved Luo Ran.

Luo Ping made a concubine for the prefect's son, although she fought for it herself, but Luo Youxiao and Luo Wenming of the Zhao clan only thought about the benefits brought by this matter, and did not think of the hardships of everyone's life in the future. Although I also love Luo Ping, there is still something more important in my heart than my daughter or sister-in-law.

In the eyes of his father, his brother and sister are the most important. No matter what his father and mother are, with this heart of loving their children wholeheartedly, Luo Ran feels that he is really happy in this life.

Zheng also thought a lot in his heart, and Luo Ping's marriage thought of the marriage of his three children. The emphasis is on the daughter, and the daughter can't be a concubine in the future. No matter how big an official is, he can't do it.

If he knew that the Zheng family wanted this, Luo Ran would have laughed, he was only eight or nine years old now, and there were still many years.

As soon as November passes, it will enter the wax moon. It's the same cold as last year, but everyone's life is really much better than last year.

This year is a bumper harvest year, so there are many fewer people who freeze to death in the cold winter.

The current situation of Luo Ran's family is not comparable to last year. There are several sets of thick cotton clothes per person, and there is no need to buy grain, even the products produced in their own Zhuangzi cannot be eaten.

Also, Chen Liuguang's family and Zhao Laohan only signed a five-year long-term contract at that time, and seeing such a good treatment from the Luo family, they took the initiative to ask to sign a deed of sale. It's just that it is still a long-term worker to the outside world. In the future, Luo Wenming will not hide it after he has a fame.

Chen Chunyan followed Luo Ran, and Chen Ding followed Wensheng.

So this winter, Luo Ran actually used a maid, that is Chen Chunyan.

These are no longer mentioned.

There were two snows early in the lunar month, and the weather became colder and colder. Luo Ran's family started planning early to purchase New Year's goods.

Unlike last year, this year you only need to make a list and let the work in the shop be delivered.

Luo Ran's current shop not only sells things from Zhuangzi, but also buys some other things to sell. Most of the needs for the New Year are available, and even those that are lacking will be filled.

If you don't have to buy New Year's goods yourself, you will naturally lose the fun of shopping. But idle people always want to find things to do.

On this day, several people went to Fucheng to buy jewelry.

There is a lonely hairpin on Zheng's head, and since he is looser now, Luo Ran thinks about buying more jewelry. It's women who love jewelry. I didn't buy it some time ago, and that's because I've been busy and haven't had time.

Zheng is also thinking about buying a few pieces of jewelry for his daughter, even if it can be used as a dowry in the future.

The family who loves their daughters began to save for dowry when they were young. The head of the girl's jewelry has to be added every year, and when she grows up and gets married, it will naturally become a dowry for the escort. Zheng didn't want to treat his daughter badly, so he also thought that while the family conditions were better, he could buy one piece. Accumulate a lot, and you can't be too bitter about your children.

A few people went to the original jewelry store.

When it came out, the twenty taels of silver were gone, and there were many more pieces of jewelry.

Seeing that they were generally brought by themselves, the Zheng family was distressed, and kept complaining that Luo Ran spent money lavishly.

"Mother, silver is for flowers. Now that we have some money to spare, we should enjoy it. Look at it, my aunt has a silver hairpin stuck in her head. Last time, I secretly saw her wearing a green bracelet on her wrist, which is not cheap at all. Luo Ran said.

"Your aunt is your aunt. I am me. Spending dozens of taels of silver at once is really a throw. If they all buy you jewelry, it can also be used as a dowry. Zheng said.

"Mother, my dowry is slowly accumulating, it's still early anyway. This time, it is not our money to buy jewelry, but my father's salary. Dad's heart, mother, don't you accept it? Luo Ran heard about Zheng's dowry again, so he deliberately said this to divert Zheng's attention.

Sure enough, Zheng's face turned red, he lowered his head, and he didn't speak.

Luo Ran snickered in his heart, how old is her mother, she is still so shy. also winked at Luo Youli, who was following along.

Luo Youli's face was slightly red, but he still looked at his daughter approvingly, saying that Luo Ran could buy more today.

Of course, I didn't miss this opportunity, and I still put the big bags on the carriage.

Looking at the sugar gourd seller, Luo Ran remembered the hawthorn tree planted at home, but it had not borne fruit yet. I bought a few catties of hawthorn again, and planned to boil syrup to make sugar gourds by myself.

Sugar gourd is also called rock sugar gourd, and some places are also called sugar piers or sugar balls. Rock sugar gourd is a traditional snack, it is hawthorn skewered with bamboo skewers and then dipped in maltose syrup, the syrup quickly hardens when exposed to the wind. A common snack in northern winter, generally made of hawthorn skewers, the syrup is frozen hard, and it tastes sour and sweet, and it is very icy.

Not only delicious, but also has the functions of appetizing, nourishing beauty, increasing intelligence, eliminating fatigue, and clearing heat.

In modern times, there are more forms of rock sugar gourd, not only mountain red (hawthorn) but also begonia fruit, grapes, hemp yams, walnut kernels, oranges, bananas and so on.

Luo Ran made sugar gourds with hawthorn, apples, and oranges this time.

Of course, there are several steps. First, use bamboo skewers to string fruits,

Pick the hawthorn of uniform size, wash it, remove the roots and stems, cut the hawthorn at the waist, and dig the core with a knife. Then close the two petals. The oranges are peeled and broken into petals. Peel the apples and cut them into cubes. These can be skewered with bamboo skewers when they are ready, and they can be mixed and skewered on a single bamboo skewer, or they can be skewered with just one. (To be continued.) )
