Chapter 023: Scraping together money
Chapter 023 Pooling Money
"Brother, grandparents said that the uncle's family came back today and asked me to go to Willow Village to cut some meat." Luo Ran shook the money in his pocket.
"Let's go, brother will go with you." Luo Wenxuan said to Zheng and went out with Luo Ran.
The two of them left the village and walked for a short time to reach Willow Village. I saw Luo Wenxuan take Luo Ran into a yard, and there was a big black dog tied to the yard, the black dog was very fat, lazily nesting on the ground and basking in the sun. I didn't scream when I saw the two of them coming in, the yard was very large, and there were two large tables in the middle, and there were two shelves on top of the table, which were the common wooden shelves, and there were a few hooks hanging on them. It can be seen that it is a slaughter site. On the other table was a large basin, covered with a white cloth, and a lot of green leaves were exposed.
"Anyone?" Luo Wenxuan saw that there was no one in the courtyard, so he shouted.
"Who's coming?" A chubby woman in her thirties came out of the kitchen and saw two babies in the yard.
"Auntie, we are from Luojiazhuang, let's cut two catties of meat."
"Okay." The woman came to the table, lifted the white cloth, hung the pork from the basin on the hook, drew a machete, and when she went down, it was so clean that it looked like a skillful hand. Put it on the scale next to it and weigh it, two catties and one tael.
"Forty-eight cents." The woman took out a few large leaves from the basin, wrapped the meat, handed it to Luo Wenxuan, and said at the same time.
"Auntie, I still have two pennies, can I ask for two more big bones." Luo Ran raised his little head and looked at the middle-aged woman expectantly.
"Oops, this little doll is so cute." The middle-aged woman looked at Luo Ran's expression, stretched out her free hand and pinched Luo Ran's face, Luo Ran felt a pain in her face, frowned and said, How can there be a strange aunt who ravages children.
"Here, take, I picked three big bones." The woman wrapped three more bones in leaves, tied them with straw ropes, and handed them to Luo Ran.
"Thank you, Auntie." Eight teeth bared, smile. Luo Ran sold cuteness again and gave himself a full score, and the villain in his heart learned the actions of a modern star teacher and made a perfect expression posture. I also thought of the classic work in the crossing farming text: [Turning Waste into Treasure: Pig Intestine Pig Goes into the Water], basically a necessary plot in every crossing text. Just look at the pile of things next to the well under the elm tree in the yard, but if you buy it, you have to clean it up yourself, and although you know how to do it, you still shake your head.
(An editor: "Why is the heroine in this article so lazy?") "Confused...... )
(Luo Ran: "It's not the heroine who is lazy, it's the author.") "Ran Ran God, you are the truth! )
(Chat: "Girl, your mother and I are diligent and don't want it.") "Graceful hair...... )
(An editor: "I said why is the heroine of this article lazy like this?") It turned out to be genetic! The problem is at the root! How many days have I not been updated! You don't sew your mouth more, see how you chat! "Whip it! )
(Let's chat: spare your life!) Don't dare anymore. I am sick in the hospital during the Chinese New Year, and I don't ask for forgiveness and don't abandon it. Kneel on one knee for Luo Ran's daughter! Kneel on both knees for a bad editor! The five bodies knelt on the ground for all readers! )
The two went out of the yard, and Luo Wenxuan wiped his sister's pinched face with his hand, and did not expose his sister's "shameful cuteness".
After a while, the two of them returned home, showed the meat and bones to the Qin family, and then took them to the kitchen and gave them to the Zheng family.
"Mother, I want to boil a thick big bone broth, it's delicious!" When several people in the family are growing up, they especially need to pay attention to calcium supplementation, big bone broth is a good thing, not to mention that Luo Ran has a soft spot for bone broth.
"Little glutton, boil a big pot for you to drink. You guys go play, mom will be fine for a while. Zheng looked at the well-behaved child.
Luo Ran rolled his eyes, looked at Luo Wenxuan, who still wanted to stay in the kitchen to help, and went out of the kitchen to the Westinghouse to call his younger brother.
"Sister, what are you doing?"
"Come with me, be quiet for a while, don't talk loudly." pulled Luo Wensheng to the window of the main room and squatted.
I only heard a burst of talking from the main room.
"Mother, Wen Ming will definitely be able to be admitted to Xiucai this time, and maybe he will be able to become a county official when the time comes, then my father and mother will be the old lady and the lady of the official?" Luo Qiao said excitedly, of course, in Luo Qiao's eyes, the county official is basically the biggest official.
Luo Ran was very puzzled when he heard this, didn't Luo Wenming have no talent yet? Even if he wins this time, it's just a showman. Xiucai can also be an official? In ancient China, it was only after the show that people were promoted to Jinshi, and people were able to become officials, but they also needed opportunities and ways. Could it be that the bureaucracy of this time and space is so different from that of ancient China? If you have time, you really need to take a good look at this.
"Bodhisattva bless, when the time comes, make a golden body for the Bodhisattva!" Mrs. Luo answered.
With the existing financial resources of the Luo family, what kind of golden body can be molded for the Bodhisattva? Do you have to rely on the colored income of the officials, I don't know if the bodhisattva will feel guilty.
"Don't squeak, I don't know if my uncle's family can buy a few sets of test papers this time. Wen Ming said that the test papers in the bookstore were unreliable, and his uncle had a way to buy the test papers of the past years. I hope it happens. This is Luo Zhu's voice.
"Hey...... The boss said that this test paper is not cheap, but he doesn't know if the money is still in hand. There is still more than a month to go before the wheat is harvested...... Luo Zhu continued.
"What are you worried about, let the second and third children help me make up the money, eat me and drink mine, just think about happiness and don't make any effort." Qin retorted, justifiably.
"It's all difficult......" Old Man Luo's voice became smaller and smaller.
……
Luo Ran couldn't hear it clearly outside, but he also understood one thing, that is, Luo Wenming needed his uncle to buy test papers! What does this mean!
Luo Wenming needs to be admitted to Xiucai = Luo Wenming asked his uncle to buy the test papers; Luo Wenming asked his uncle to buy test papers = the Luo family paid for the test papers; The Luo family pays for the test papers = they have to redeem the money;
In ancient times, it was not as common as in modern times, when test papers were as common and cheap. The test papers in the bookstore over the years are very expensive, not to mention the "reliable" test papers bought through Luo Wenming's uncle!
Fist! Stabilization! Why does Luo Wenming need to redeem money at home! It would be nice to be able to split up! Sure enough, the starting point is very right, the first task of crossing the farming text is to divide the family!
Luo Ran repeatedly told himself to work hard, and now he is calm. took a deep breath, and then pulled Luo Wensheng to leave quietly, not taking a cloud with him. In the vegetable garden behind the detour, looking at the neat vegetables, green and healthy without pesticides, the mood is better. The vegetable patch is at the back of the house, and the area is not very large. But there are a lot of appearances, and the growth is very gratifying, and you can see that it was carefully cleaned up.
There is a ridge of leek furrows, a ridge of green onions, a slice of spinach and cabbage seedlings, eggplant, and a few ridges of tomatoes that have borne fruit (tomatoes were introduced to China in the era, please do not be elegant, this article is overhead. Cucumber seedlings, beans, etc., and a few pumpkins and loofahs and other vine vegetables are planted in the corner.
took the shovel in the vegetable field and cut a basket of leeks, pulled a small handful of green onions, picked cucumbers and tomatoes, and then pulled Luo Wensheng back to the kitchen, picked and washed them separately, and then gave them to Zheng. A big leaf, wrap the meat, hand it to Luo Wenxuan and say at the same time.
