Chapter 192: Summer

After getting rid of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Lu Yun became happy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The green trees are thick and the summer days are long, and the birds fly and reflect into the pond.

The lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red.

In the blink of an eye, it was summer, and Luo Ran's family was very busy during this time. Busy picking lotus pods and water chestnut chicken rice heads. Busy preparing for an unusually small game.

I invited a girl and daughter-in-law from the village to help. The salary is good, and the salary is more, so there are many people who come. Zheng picked some clean and neat ones to stay.

In the past few years, Luo Ran's family has built several boats specializing in picking lotus water chestnut chicken and rice. There were now a dozen or so small boats and four slightly larger boats.

On this day, a total of ten small boats were picking at the same time, and there were three people in each small boat, and there must be one who could water and hold the boat. It's all small boats, very good to support, Luo Ran will do it now.

No, Luo Ran, Wensheng, and Chunyan Chuncao are in a small boat.

After picking a certain amount from each boat, it is sent to the larger boat, and the larger ship is then sent to the shore. Of course, there are literate guys and mothers-in-law who keep accounts, and they can remember clearly which boat and who picked how much. The Luo family's work has always been distributed according to work.

Luo Ran held the boat for a while, then let Chuncao and Chunyan support it, and then compared with Wen Sheng who picked it faster.

The two of them spoke.

"Sister, what is the reward for the competition of peeling lotus pods and water chestnut chicken rice in the afternoon, can you tell me about it?" Wen Sheng suddenly changed the topic and asked.

Luo Ran said with a mysterious face: "No, this is a secret." ”

Wen Sheng said eagerly: "Sister, you just said it's okay." I'll give you my favorite inkstone. ”

What's the use of me asking for an inkstone? Luo Ran shook his head: "Don't worry, there are several rewards." In addition to silver, there is something you want in it. ”

"What do I want? Could it be Brother Yun's sword? Wen Sheng said with wide eyes.

How could it be. Luo Ran shook his head.

Well, I knew that it would be impossible to use Brother Yun's sword as a prize.

Seeing that Wen Sheng was in a hurry, Luo Ran decided not to sell Guanzi. Directly: "It's a small bow and arrow specially made by the blacksmith." ”

"Little bow and arrow? That's great. "Wen Sheng has wanted a sword for a long time.

Luo Ran suddenly poured cold water and said, "But the registration time for the competition has closed." If I remember correctly, it seems that you didn't sign up. ”

"Sister, aren't you in charge of the registration? Sister, you can count me as a sign-up. Wen Sheng suddenly said coquettishly.

"No, there are no rules. Wen Sheng should abide by that rule well. Luo Ran said seriously.

Wen Sheng suddenly clapped his hands and said, "No, what you wrote on it is that the registration deadline is yesterday under normal circumstances, except for special circumstances." But I was still in the school yesterday, and this is a special circumstance, which can delay the registration time, so I am now registered. Oral registration. Sister, I'll buy you the pastries of the one on the streets of Fucheng, the one you like the most. There are more types than Brother Yun bought. ”

Is this considered bribery? Of course not. Because I had already signed up for Wensheng yesterday. It's just that Wensheng doesn't know. Before the pastry was gone, of course Luo Ran would not say it again. Of course, I will definitely say it when I buy the pastries. It's a shame that you were still called out by your sister, and you were so easily dismissed by others, how can you mix it up in the future? Especially in the officialdom, there are many scenes of deceit.

After Wen Sheng finished speaking, he looked at his sister's expression, and found that his sister was obviously proud, and suddenly remembered that something was wrong. What's wrong? By the way, my sister lied to people, and she had already signed up. It's easy to bully me. But for the sake of my sister's busy work these days, let's buy her more pastries. It's not good to always eat the clouds, and it's not very good.

Luo Ran, who was being proud, didn't expect that Wen Sheng, the little fox, had already seen through her little abacus.

If you knew, you would have to cry. I was also born with lovely, kind and innocent Wensheng. This is called a double standard. Just now, I felt that Wensheng was too stupid.

In the morning, we picked a lot of lotus water chestnut chicken rice heads. Several truckloads were transported to the shop, and a lot of them were sent to restaurants. There are also vendors who buy a lot of them.

Luo Youli deliberately left a lot of it for the afternoon game.

This contest is called the "Kuaishou" ratio. There are several main contents, peeling lotus pods, peeling water chestnuts, peeling chicken rice heads, and four competitions called lotus seeds.

The main participants are the people of these nearby Zhuangzi. The descendants of the Luo family can also participate. If you want to participate, you can register for free. One person can register for two at the same time.

Winners are divided into good seeds, and the rewards vary. There are silver, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, chicken, duck, fish and crab, lotus root and so on.

Also, if you choose a suitable one from it, you can directly hire a guy in the shop. The Luo family has now opened a few shops in Fucheng, each shop is not small, and the business is very good, so it is completely possible to recruit a few more young guys.

Half a month ago, Luo Ran let people spread the news of the game. There are a lot of people who sign up. What children, young men, young girls, daughters-in-law, old women. More than 100 people came to participate.

They all fancy the highest reward of eight taels of silver. Some people can't earn eight taels of silver a year. That's a big number. There are a total of four competitions, and the first prize in each item is eight taels of silver. It's just that you can't get the first, and you can't earn eight taels of silver, so there are second, third, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighty-nine.

In each competition, there are three second prizes, each with four taels of silver.

Five third prizes, two taels of silver each. If you don't want the money, you can ask for something else.

There are still ten people who can get other things, such as those chickens, ducks, fish, lotus peng, water chestnut, chicken rice, etc., a certain amount can be selected at will.

The bow and arrow about Wensheng was specially added by Lu Yun in order to please his brother-in-law. The real price was far greater than fifty taels of silver. But if you exchange it for the first prize or the second or third prize, it will be fine.

It's obvious cheating. They are all people from the village, and as long as they can ask for silver, they will definitely choose silver. Won't choose a "useless" bow and arrow. Not Orion after all.

By the afternoon, there were already a lot of people gathered in the Zhuangzi. Those who came out to participate in the competition, as well as those who watched. Except for the calamity of that year, Luo Ran saw so many people for the first time in ancient times. I can't help but wonder if the people from several villages in the vicinity have come over, although it's not, it's almost the same. Although it is not idle to work in the fields at this time, it is not the busiest. Everyone is trying to be lively. They are all people from the countryside, and the farthest they have been to is Fucheng, and many people have rarely seen such a lively thing. (To be continued.) )
