"Serve more meat and rice. By the way, the prepared guest room charcoal fire is also two more pots. Liu Kui should go down to work, Lou Yuzhu waved her hand and asked Huang Ying to help, and then the family happily sat around and ate hot pot.

After a while, the meat slices changed color, Lou Yuzhu got up and put a few pieces in the bowl of Lou Chengyi and Fu Lin's book: "This is the beef, mutton, venison, etc. I brought back from Fucheng, and my father and father will also taste it." ”

The importance of cattle to farming is so important that ordinary people can't smell the smell of beef at all, it is said that Lou Chengyi let go of cattle when he was a child, but later when the cow was old, he was led to the yamen by the old man Lou to exchange a few taels of silver, and later it was not smelled of beef. "This is beef?" Lou Chengyi looked at the cooked beef slices with awe in his eyes. "Isn't it true that cattle can't be slaughtered casually? You won't have an accident if you eat it, right? ”

"Dad, don't worry, it's all through guò formal channels, and it won't trouble you." Lou Yuzhu smiled, and asked while brushing the meat: "Grandpa's New Year's goods haven't been delivered yet, right?" Seeing Lou Chengyi nodded, he said: "When Ming'er goes, take a few catties of beef, venison and other game, and let grandpa and them try it." ”

Fu Linshu raised his eyes and hesitated: "I have prepared enough New Year's goods for your grandfather's family." Didn't you say before that you were going to invite Pei Gongzi and Mu Laoyi from the town to come for the New Year? Keep it and greet them, your grandfather doesn't want these things. ”

"I've calculated everything and brought it back, Daddy, don't worry." If you don't have this point, Zhou Cheng dares to let him help with the winery? After speaking, Chong Lou Hua Lou Ming said: "In addition to these, I also brought some other gifts back, I will give a list after a while, the eldest brother and the second brother look at it, and let the father send it to each family together when he sends the New Year's goods tomorrow." ”

I didn't want Fu Linshu to stop him, and said: "I'll take care of these chores, your eldest brother and second brother haven't had a good rest this year since they were busy with their studies." ”

Lou Chengyi also nodded in agreement.

"It's good for the eldest brother and the second brother to have more contact with these general affairs, the so-called insight into world affairs is all knowledgeable and humanistic, that is, articles, it is not possible to read dead books, and it is not possible to read dead books, and besides, this is all our family's business, so we should participate in it." Lou Yuzhu doesn't approve of the nerd model who only cares about reading, he doesn't know everything about general affairs, and he can't do great things by relying on IQ alone. "Do you think it's big brother and second brother?" Seeing the two nodding obediently, Lou Yuzhu smiled and said, "I don't think I will be able to get up early in the morning, so I won't be involved in the distribution of New Year's goods." The eldest brother and the second brother will help me send the coachman and a few nursing homes away, remember to seal a red envelope. It's not easy to send me back in the snow. ”

Lou Hua groaned and asked, "How much is sealed?" ”

"Just seal ten taels. Make up a whole number to ask for good luck. ”

Four guards and a coachman, this time it went to fifty taels, Lou Chengyi, an honest dealer man, was panicked when he heard it. I still remember that dozens of texts used to be cautious flowers, and it was common for a few months to not smell meaty and not have new clothes for a year!

"Cheng, I'll prepare later." Lou Hua should have gone to prepare the red seal after eating supper, and then went to the guest room to take a look before returning to the room to rest. The second day before dawn got up again, beckoned the coachman to wait for breakfast to send the red envelope and they left, and then took out the gift list to count the number, and when the list was halfway cleared, the wing building was bright, and the two brothers discussed what kind of beaded weaving to whom, what kind of cloth pattern to send to whom, after discussing the mark behind the list, and then took the list to classify the gifts and put them away, and then sent them out.

The order of sending New Year's goods is the old house, the relatives of the Zhang family, Pei Guanying, Mu Lao, Hu Guanshi, Zhou Cheng each have a copy, Zhou Cheng because he did not return and was still busy handing over the things to the servants for safekeeping, and then there are Jiao shopkeepers, Zhai shopkeepers and other good people in the town, and then the village friends Li Zheng and Wei family also sent a little. New Year's goods are a gift and still a thing, and there are a lot of things that are given out by the three rooms, and there are not even half an egg in the old house. When I asked about the good thing, the old mansion was returned and said that the old man Lou and Liu Ah were the biggest, how could there be any New Year's gifts from the elders to the juniors?

The divine logic of the old mansion doesn't know that everyone outside is about to die of laughter, and it is indeed appropriate to give New Year's gifts to the elders, but there is no saying that the elders can't give New Year's gifts to the younger generations, and the Zhang family, who didn't see the three-room relatives, also dragged a full oxcart and sent it? Taking a step back, even if Mr. Lou and Liu Ah didn't say it, this big house and the second room can always be sent by the same generation, right? The new clothes on the family of more than a dozen people, the beaded flower ornaments on the head of the pearl gold and silver beads are picked up for nothing?

Others talked about it for the three rooms, but Lou Yuzhu really didn't care anymore when she heard it, because it is estimated that the things that Liu Ah Mo returned the gift with his mean temperament are either the old ones that can't be used.

On the twenty-eighth day of the year, the third room came to invite Pei Guanying and Elder Mu to their house for the New Year, and Elder Mu didn't want to trouble the third room, but he was forced by Lou Yuzhu to say 'I don't want next year's wine'; the twenty-ninth and third rooms were busy for a day; on the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Pei Guanying accompanied Elder Mu to arrive, and then Zhou Cheng also rode a horse, and the steward did not come because he was busy.

The group entered the house for tea, Lou Hua and Lou Ming accompanied Mu Lao to talk, Fu Linshu led Liu Kui to prepare lunch, Lou Chengyi and Huang Shan burned the fire to prepare water or pick vegetables, Lou Yuzhu and Zhou Cheng entered the study door and began to settle accounts.

Zhou Cheng took out five or six account books.

Pei Guanying had a headache when he looked at the finger-thick ledger, and said, "You can directly report the total, this detailed account will not be counted." ”

Lou Yuzhu also nodded with palpitations.

Zhou Cheng reluctantly swept the eyes of the two of them, took out two brocade boxes and put one in front of Pei Guanying and said: "Xinyi Building and the restaurant are both profitable, although the winery has sold two batches of customized wine, but the amount of investment to sell is only 63,000 taels, which is the share after deducting the investment. Seeing that Pei Guanying had no problem, he turned his head and put another one in front of Yuzhu, and said: "Xinyi Lou and the first few months of the food shop and the ice cellar dividends you took out and invested in Linnan Bay, so now the dividends for the next three months, including the new idea building, the food shop, the ice cellar, and the off-season vegetables, the winery you are a technical shareholder does not need to invest money, so there is also a winery, as for the artificial breeding of red shrimp and river crabs, because it will be profitable next year, so now there is no dividends, and the chain inn has not started construction, so there is no, Therefore, your cash is 1,650 taels, and I will help you make the decision to take out 50 taels and give the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper a red seal, which is based on your current 1,600 taels. ”

Before these accounts, Lou Yuzhu had a purpose, and he knew how much money he had.

Seeing that the two of them had no disagreement, Zhou Cheng began to calculate the accounts of Linnanwan. "Originally, it was said that there would be income after the year, but I saw that it was almost over, so I threw some of it first, and I will throw the rest out in two batches after the year."

Pei Guanying and Lou Yuzhu have no disagreement, because Zhou Cheng is taking care of these things, and he is the most vocal. The two looked at each other and opened the brocade box in front of them, Pei Guanying found that in addition to the 63,000 taels calculated before, there were three more silver tickets of 10,000 taels, and Lou Yuzhu's had four more 1,000 taels, which was supposed to be part of the income of Linnan Bay.

It can be said that the capital invested in Linnan Bay has not been returned, but the two are not in a hurry at all. Lou Yuzhu covered the brocade box: "Brother Zhou has worked hard for half a year." ”

In order to run this matter, Zhou Cheng has hardly returned home in the past six months, either on the road or on the way to set off, and he is really not idle.

Pei Guanying smiled bitterly: "Brother Yu, you helped me a little when I arrived, but I didn't do anything in Huya Town, but when I shared the money, I was the most." ”

If you use people often, it may be really unbalanced, but Lou Yuzhu and Zhou Cheng are very clear that it may be okay for the two of them to lack one, but they can't lack Pei Guanying. Without Pei Guanying's identity suppression, the son of the Hou Shizi of Jingyang, even if they can put up such a big commercial shelf, they will inevitably be looked down upon.

Lou Yuzhu looked at Zhou Cheng and joked about it. After a short time, it was time for lunch, and the group moved to lunch, Pei Guanying pulled Mu Lao and ordered Lou Yuzhu and Zhou Cheng to put together a table of mahjong.

Lou Yuzhu went to the table, and saw that Xiao Lou Chen blinked his eyes with curiosity, and hugged him and kissed him fiercely for a while: "Fourth, brother, today I will teach you to play a game, this game, the name is 'fighting local tyrants'!" ”

Pei Guanying, who was rubbing cards, asked later: "Isn't it playing mahjong?" Why did you become a local tyrant again? ”

Lou Yuzhu, who knew the stalk, smiled and fell, although Zhou Cheng didn't know the meaning, but he guessed that Lou Yuzhu's expression was not a good word, so he said to Pei Guanying: "Young master, it's better not to ask carefully, so as not to block the answer." ”

Mu Lao touched his beard, as if he had touched a little eyebrows. "The local tyrant is the word 'trench' to read apart? Related to gambling, if the word 'trench' is homophonic to 'hao'" his eyes turned around Pei Guanying and Zhou Cheng, and suddenly he was happy.

“！！！” Pei Guanying was struck by lightning.

Zhou Cheng was also speechless.

Lou Yuzhu couldn't laugh again when she saw it, and Lou Hua and Lou Ming also laughed a lot when she heard the beginning and the end.

Pei Guanying said coolly: "I don't know who loses and who wins, Brother Yu'er shouldn't be too confident." ”

Zhou Cheng automatically admitted defeat: "I'll fight with you." ”

Mu Lao didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and Chong Lou Yuzhu said: "Why don't we form an alliance, if you lose, it's yours, and if you win, we have half a point?" ”

Hearing this, Lou Yuzhu was heartbroken: "What about the face? ”

"I forgot to bring it with me." Mu Lao used Lou Yuzhu's words when he asked him for calligraphy and painting last time.

Lou Yuzhu, who was stabbed by what he said, said that the blood was empty!

The time of rubbing mahjong flew quickly, and soon a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was served, and Elder Mu deserved to be invited to the table. The atmosphere of the three-room room is good and comfortable, and several guests are not bound to eat a lively and sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. After eating Chinese New Year's Eve, the brothers held the smallest small bun Lou Chen first gave Lou Chengyi and Fu Linshu New Year's greetings, each got a red seal, and then gave Mu Lao, Pei Guanying, Zhou Cheng New Year's greetings, and got three red seals respectively, Lou Yuzhu asked for a red seal for Lou Hua Lou Ming when he was young, and also asked for a red seal for the little Lou Chen who had just learned to speak, and then was coaxed to give Lou Chen a small red seal. So when it comes to the math, it's still the smallest one that takes advantage of it.

After receiving the red seal, he sent a reward to the Huangshan family, Pei Guanying still wanted to play mahjong, but Lou Yuzhu decided to mention yì to make a game. The game is called 'Who is the spy', Fu Linshu and Xiao Lou Chen are referees, and the rest are counted as one, Lou Chengyi doesn't want to participate but Lou Yuzhu feels that he is playing the game of who is undercover, there is an honest playmate like Lou Chengyi, who may be able to make a lot of jokes, really, after a few games, the matter of the god mending knife pig teammates made everyone laugh, and once even Mu Lao couldn't help laughing.
