Chapter 5 Making Money
With this question, Lou Yuzhu fell into a dark and sweet dream.
I felt that I didn't sleep long before I was woken up by Lou Hua. "Brother Yu, wake up, we're going to town."
Lou Yuzhu looked out the window with a gloomy face, found it pitch black, and fell back to the bed. "Brother, it's still early."
"It's not early, Dad and Daddy have already gotten up."
Farmers get up early, and those who want to sell some vegetables at the market like this get up even earlier, not to mention that it takes more than half an hour on the road.
Lou Yuzhu got up and rubbed her forehead with a headache, Lou Hua saw that people woke up and turned around and went to the kitchen to help Fu Linshu light the fire.
Fu Lin Shulou Chengyi was busy in the field yesterday, and when he came back, he had to cook and clean and carry water to serve the family, so Liu Ah Mo was still sneering at the dinner table Fu Lin Shulou Chengyi was not dedicated, and then he had to clean up the kitchen and boil water to wash the family's face and feet. After sleeping for a few hours, Lou Chengyi raised a torch to pick vegetables in the vegetable garden, Fu Linshu made a fire to make breakfast for the family, and washed the family's clothes.
"Noisy, get up earlier than a chicken and go to bed later than a dog" Lou Yuzhu has a headache, and she has vegetarian stuffed buns for the three-room room.
Lou Ming brought the washing water: "What did Brother Yu just say?" ”
"I'm thinking about what Daddy is going to do," Liso got up and washed his face and water.
"It's not our turn to have anything delicious," Lou Ming pouted. "When we catch up with the market, Ah Mo will definitely open a small stove for another one." The number of times Lou Ming opened a small stove in the second room of the big house has been bumped into more than once, and he has cried in the past, and he is useless not to mention that he has implicated the entire third room, and over time Lou Ming has not made trouble.
Turning out the past from the memory of the original body, Lou Yuzhu is not an ordinary heart stopper. "It's okay, fifth brother, today we sell grasshoppers and buy meat buns to eat."
Thinking of this stubble, Lou Mingxiao Zhengtai's eyes lit up immediately. "Okay, buy five"
"Shh~" Lou Yuzhu raised his hand to indicate that he was silent. "It's our secret."
Lou Ming hurriedly covered his mouth, blinked his eyes and nodded violently.
"Fifth brother is so well-behaved~~" Such a stupid and cute little Zhengtai is the most suitable to tease. Lou Ming, who didn't realize that he was taken advantage of by his younger brother, floated out of the house with a praised expression, and Lou Yuzhu, who tied her hair, was immediately amused with a 'porpo' sound, and her soft hair was not grabbed until she wanted to start all over again.
Lou Chengyi's pair of vegetarian stuffed buns were overwhelmed by the second room of the big house, but they were as good as possible for their three children, and they were reluctant to eat a bite to eat, and they had to secretly leave it to their own babies. did not relax in the education of the three children, knowing that Fu Linshu's secret teaching of children to literacy would be exposed, Lou Chengyi still helped hide it. It's easy to see, but it's really not easy for Lou Chengyi, who has been a vegetarian for half his life, to do this!
"Brother Yu, hurry up!"
Lou Hua shouted in the courtyard.
"Hey, it's coming~" Lou Yuzhu sped up. Although the parents are a little vegetarian, the brothers are slowly transforming, and they have the heart to resist the injustice and make progress, and they are still a bit rushing these days. Otherwise, you won't be able to turn back every minute of running! Although running away is the next step, it is better than being drawn by a pot of black-hearted sesame skin!
The family had breakfast, Lou Chengyi carried the vegetables, Fu Linshu carried another basket, closed the door, and led the three little heels to the town. It is impossible to hire an ox cart, you can only rely on your feet, but fortunately, the original body is used to it, but it is a little tired.
Seeing his brother's face white, Lou Liyi said distressedly: "His father, let's rest." ”
Fu Linshu is not distressed, but look at the sky, if you go late and don't occupy a good position, the dishes are not easy to sell, whether they are sold late or not sold out, Liu Ah is afraid that she will have a seizure again. The matter of asking a good doctor to see a doctor was originally blocked, and I was worried that I couldn't find the reason!
Lou Hua held one in one hand: "Dad, Daddy, if you don't go first, I'll take my fifth brother Brother Yu to rest for a while and then look for you." "Lou Hua is eleven years old this year, and he has already taken half of the labor force in the village, so there is no pressure to take his younger brothers to the market.
"Nacheng, you walk slowly. You also know the places that sell vegetables on the left and right. ”
"Eh~" Seeing the two walking away, the servants hurriedly took out the small cloth bag on their bodies. When he went out, Lou Hua secretly took the palm leaf grasshoppers and hid them in a cloth bag on the grounds of the thatched house, and he was afraid that he would crush them along the way.
"Brother, while it's still early, let's go to the town near the school hall, and those who can go to school are all rich families, and there should be no shortage of these few dollars."
Lou Hua's eyes lit up, but he saw that his younger brother's face was white, and he felt distressed again. Lou Hua also thought that he would go to sell grasshoppers first, and let Lou Ming take Lou Yuzhu to take his time, but Lou Hua himself was only nine years old and Lou Yuzhu was seven years old, how could he not feel at ease, and this was also their first business, and he was really a little stunned. Of course, even if Lou Hua dares, Lou Yuzhu is not at ease.
"Brother, I'm fine, it's the same when I get to the ground."
"Hmm. Come," Lou Hua gave Lou Ming the small cloth bag containing grasshoppers to take, and squatted down with his back to Lou Yuzhu. "I'll carry you a little, and I'll let you down when I get to town."
Looking at the thin back in front of her, Lou Yuzhu's eyes were hot. Obviously eleven years old but thin looks less than ten years old, obviously he is very tired but still ready to carry him, Lou Hua always protects them as much as possible with his own strength, he would rather be tired and bitter, this kind of good character Lou Old Man Liu Ah didn't see it, it's really blind!
Blinking her eyes and holding back her tears, Lou Yuzhu lay on Lou Hua's back. "Then let me down when I'm tired, I don't have to go to town."
"Eh~" how far you can memorize it, no longer care about the hard work.
Soon they arrived in the town, and the three of them hurried to the vicinity of the town school.
The town is called Huya Town, it is a medium-sized town under Nanyang Mansion, the reason why it is called Huya Town is that the mountains are full of tigers in the past, and then the court sent people to surround the mountain several times to get rid of the tiger trouble, this name has been handed down. The town is not a major road and no famous property, and there is no disaster in the wind and rain, because most of the residents in the town were born in Huya Town for generations. Over time, many big families have been produced, which are of course far from the famous families, but the family has also done two.
Lou Hua directly led people to Yishan Academy. First, Luyuan Academy is only for students who have children and talents, and those who have merit and fame are older and probably can't look down on their gadgets, and secondly, Lou Chengzu teaches in Luyuan Academy, and Lou Wen is a student of Luyuan Academy, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, this is going to be repaid? Yat Shan College is a college for students under the age of 15, and there are many young students aged seven or eight. Young and rich, it is estimated that he should be interested in brown grasshoppers.
The three of them were not at the entrance of the academy, but chose a corner of the main road.
The hour was still early, and the gong in the academy class had not yet sounded, and some students walked in pairs, talking and laughing, looking leisurely and good.
Lou Hualou was full of envy, and reluctantly withdrew his gaze and waited for the customer to come to the door. Lou Yuzhu saw it in her eyes and remembered it in her heart, and lowered her eyelids to hide her determined eyes.
After a while, a chubby boy in a student costume walked in front of him, holding a fragrant meat bun in his hand and biting while walking, and the bookbag hung on the scholar behind him.
Lou Yuzhu's eyes lit up, and she went up to show the brown grasshopper, and her face showed a smile just right. "Little master, buy a grasshopper?"
"Grasshoppers?" The little fat man swallowed the meat filling, and the fat face of the very good one showed doubts, and when he saw that the delicate and real brown grasshopper immediately stopped eating the meat bun.
Knowing that there was a play, Lou Yuzhu immediately introduced: "This is made of palm leaves, and it can be played for a few days without changing color." Whether it's a novelty or a scary look in your hand, it's the best. ”
The little fat man has already got his hands on one, how interesting it is to hold it in his hand, especially when he thinks of the item that Meng Buding uses to be scary. "How do you sell it?"
"One penny." Lou Yuzhu overturned the price set before without blinking, ignoring the fact that Lou Hua Lou Ming's heartbeat accelerated behind him, and said: "At this time, the grasshopper has not come out yet, and the little young master must be a novelty when he gets it to the school." ”
The little fat man has not yet decided on whether it is expensive or cheap, and there is no pressure on him to pay a penny.
"Little master, look, our grasshoppers haven't been sold yet, the little young master is the first, and he must be envious when he gets it to his classmates in the school. And we dare to pack a ticket and say that only we can make up this thing now, and there is no other place to sell it. ”
"Don't sell it anywhere else?"
"Definitely! The young master hasn't seen it anywhere else, has he? We don't have many goods today, a total of eight. Why don't you want the little master to wrap up the round? At that time, the little master will have to play alone in the whole town, and no one else will have to, so if you want to play, you have to beg the little master. "As soon as I look at the physique of the little fat man, I know that it is a bear child, I can be scary, and I can get the envy of my classmates.
"Okay, young master, I'll wrap it up."
Lou Yuzhu hurriedly took out the other seven grasshoppers and inspected them for inspection, and then put them back into the cloth bag and served them together with the cloth bag. The little fat man took the cloth bag and left.
The boy with the bag stepped forward to pay.
Lou Yuzhu took the eight copper coins and stuffed back one: "We will still sell them here in the next episode, please trouble this big brother to give a few more good words." "Throughout the ages, taking rebates and taking benefits has been tried and tested!
The scholar followed his young master and learned a few words, his head was good, and he quickly stuffed the copper coin back into his pocket, and secretly looked at it to see that no one was paying attention, so he nodded, and hurriedly chased after his young master.
"Come, seven cents, big brother take it."
When the money really arrived, Lou Lou Ming felt real, and then a wave of ecstasy hit the bottom of his head from the soles of his feet to the top of his head! Nervous and joyful, the brothers didn't know what to do for a while.
Seeing the excitement of the two, Lou Yuzhu was afraid that they would faint, so she coughed and said, "Brother, let's go buy meat buns, hasn't the fifth brother been thinking about it?" ”
"Yes, yes, buy meat buns!" Lou Ming nodded like pounding garlic, with a look of ecstasy.
Originally set for one penny two, now one penny is more than half of the money, don't look at the little fat man without blinking his eyes to let pay eight wen, in this era of strong labor only 30 wen a day, meat only 12 wen, seven wen money can buy more than half of the meat, enough for the upper and lower families to solve their hunger.
Lou Hua thought about saving, but he nodded after hesitation. "Buy!" If you spend money and earn it, you can't lose your brother.
Now the meat bun is the size of an adult man's fist, and the material is sufficient, and he costs a penny.
"Boss, three meat buns!" Lou Hua is rich and strong, especially when he thinks that in the past, he could only look at and swallow saliva, so he would be able to buy three in one go, not to mention how arrogant he was.
Lou Yuzhu covered her mouth and snickered.
