Lu Xiaoyi was not interested in the sour rotten literati, and concentrated on eating the meat and vegetables on the table, and intuitively felt that someone was staring at her, and when she raised her eyes, she saw that it was her cousin Lu Jiawei, only to see her sitting upright, holding a green vegetable in her movements, her small mouth was slightly open, her silver teeth were chewing slowly, and her eyes looked at Lu Xiaoyi as if she was smiling rather than smiling, and the disdain in her eyes was obvious.

Lu Xiaoyi didn't have a good impression of the cautious little girl, pretended not to see it, and continued to pick up a piece of meat.

I only heard Jia Wei whisper: "Vulgar! ”

Eating just a few pieces of meat, how can it be described as vulgar? Do you have to eat grass like a rabbit to be elegant? If that's the case, Lu Xiaoyi would rather be a vulgar person, so he deliberately repeatedly sandwiched meat in front of Lu Jiawei, and even sandwiched meat for Xiaoding Xiaogeng Jiluo on the side, and asked them if they were fragrant.

There are fun and delicious food, Ji Luo has already betrayed Jia Wei and joined Lu Xiaoyi's command, of course, if Jia Wei bullies her a little less behind her back, she will feel that her life will be happier.

Lu Jiawei takes the lady's route, and Lu Xiaoyi, who has a thick rogue face, is not a person all the way, she grows wise after a few strokes, she has learned to be smart after a few tricks, just provoke two sentences behind her back, if she really wants to tear her face, she will definitely not be able to please her. So, he snorted coldly in his nose, glanced at Lu Xiaoyi, and quietly ate the vegetable leaves.

The Lu family's big house moved back to their yard, and Lu Shouzeng also began to cut soft mat grass.

In midsummer, the soft mat grass grows most luxuriantly, and after cutting, the slender dark green leaves are rolled like a tube, and the grass becomes resilient when exposed to the sun, and can be rolled into thin ropes to weave mats, baskets and cushions.

Xiao Ding Xiaogeng wants to herd cattle, after all, calves are more important than soft mat grass. Lu Xiaoyi didn't have much free time, he was busy cutting pigweed in the morning to prepare chicken food, and he had to help bake cakes in the afternoon.

The grandchildren couldn't help mow the grass, and they were very guilty, Lu Xiaoyi was the elder, and she came forward to explain to Lu Shouzeng.

Lu Shouzeng, who saw the hard work of his grandchildren, was relieved and proud, and said to Lu Xiaoyi: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm about to tell you, I don't need your help to mow the grass this year." Take advantage of the good solar terms. I took your uncle to cut more and came back, and your uncle also offered to learn from me, hehe, although your grandfather and I are not famous craftsmen. But a lot of things will be at a glance. "Finished. Lu Shouzeng probably felt a little boastful. Embarrassed hehehe.

Lu Xiaoyi was very confident in his grandfather's craft, and was a little surprised that Lu Yong took the initiative to learn the craft, so he thought about it. Maybe it was Wang Dongmei's death in confinement that stimulated him, or maybe it was having a child that made him instantly sprout something called a sense of responsibility, in short, Lu Yong seemed to have changed his sex and became calmer than before.

The prodigal son turned back and did not change his money, Lu Yong's changes made Lu Shouzeng happy in his heart, Lu Zhong deliberately talked to Lu Yong for a long time after he knew, and the brothers didn't know what to say, and in the next few days, Lu Zhong was obviously in a good mood, and Lu Yong was also full of energy.

Lu's scones are becoming more and more famous, in addition to merchants, many people in the city are also willing to buy them back to eat, Lu Zhong can't meet the demand at all once a day, and after discussing with Yulan, he decided to ask another person to help bake the cakes.

This time, it was Wang Dongmei who was invited.

Wang Dongmei was very happy, and Mrs. Lu did not hold back, and agreed to help take care of the children, because the money earned by Wang Dongmei would eventually be handed over to her.

With Yulan, Lu Lian, Wang Dongmei and Lu Xiaoyi, the number of scones has gone up, but Lu Zhong, who is doing sales, is tired, two times a day, sometimes more. It's the height of summer again, the sun is like fire, even if there is a straw hat to cover it, Lu Zhong's face is about to catch up with Bao Gong, and his hands are even more exaggerated, in Yulan's words, his hands are stretched out like black-bone chicken feet!

Although it is an exaggeration, it also tells the truth of his involvement.

Hawker retail is not a way after all, Lu Xiaoyi started the idea of opening a store, but a suitable shop can not be found for a while, and she must also think about everything after opening the store, although her own family will make more money by renting a store, but her family is a farmer after all, there are fields to cultivate, and livestock and poultry to raise, if you go to the city to open a store, Lu Zhong will definitely stay in the store, even if you ask the shopkeeper and work, Lu Zhong will still have no less mind to put on the store, so that there will be less time with his family. Once the business grows, Lu Zhong will be busier, and at that time, the life of the farmer will be completely changed, her family will buy a house in the city, buy a field in the township, hire long-term and short-term workers to cultivate and harvest, and even make the slave maid live a rich life of clothes and raw hands and food......

It sounded wonderful, but it wasn't what she had imagined.

How to say, everyone has their own ambitions, so enjoy themselves! Lu Xiaoyi is more willing to live a life of small wealth and peace.

After thinking about it, Lu Xiaoyi thought of a way to find an agent in the city, so that Lu Zhong would not have to work hard every day, just help bake the cakes at home, and leave the sales matters to the agent.

Regarding the idea of finding an agent, Lu Xiaoyi hadn't talked to Lu Zhong and Yulan yet, but Lu Zhong talked about opening a store in advance.

Lu Zhong said: "I've been busy for a while, I haven't had time to tell you about some things, recently many businessmen have asked me to buy the secret recipe for scones, some people stop pestering after being rejected, and some people are stalking, so that I can't sell cakes." ”

Lu Zhong used the phrase 'restless life', as for what kind of restless life, he would not tell his family in detail.

Yulan hurriedly said: "How can you sell the recipes provided by other people's grain to others casually, these businessmen are too shameless, they have already said that they will not sell them and are still stalking like this, do you think they will find hooligans and bastards to find you trouble?" ”

Seeing Yulan's anxious face, Lu Zhong hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, those businessmen don't dare to blatantly trouble me." ”

Where is the worry in Yulan's heart that Lu Zhong can solve in a few words, her brows can't help but furrow higher and higher, and even her tone is obviously trembling, "People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, if you really get into trouble because of the cake business, we might as well not sell it." ”

Lu Xiaoyi grabbed Yulan's arm and comforted: "Mother, calm down, let's discuss it after listening to Dad." ”

Seeing that Yulan's mood stabilized, Lu Zhongcai continued: "I've been looking for a suitable shop recently, I originally wanted to rent a shop to sell cakes, but then I thought that this method is not good, we are ordinary farmers, it's okay to do a little business in the city, if it is big and ostentatious, I am worried that I will be framed by someone with a heart, you think, we don't know the nobles." Second, you can't get along with the official family, in case you are troubled behind your back like your uncle, it doesn't matter if your business is taken away, I'm worried that it will affect you. ”

Lu Xiaoyi didn't feel that his father's words were alarmist, but he felt that he was not thoughtful, just based on his experience of several process sales, he thought that the world was peaceful, but he didn't know that there were people who drilled camps for profit in all eras, but she didn't meet it. As the saying goes: Officials and businessmen and officials escort businessmen. Merchants send food to officials. Officials are not rich without businessmen, and businessmen are uneasy. A small business like his family, no one pays attention to it when it makes a small fuss, and once the business is booming. And the men who had gone into the camp for profit gathered around them. What will happen in the future. It's hard to say!

Lu Zhong said again: "It may be that the cake business has been good recently, and I have no bottom in my heart!" Don't think about the worst, I just said the worst-case scenario. It won't happen easily. ”

Lu Xiaoyi just brought up the matter of finding a sales agent, "Dad, I have an idea, Brother Liang and his father used to be a dart master in the Qishan Dart Bureau, I heard him say that the dart bureau is going to change careers now, or let him help ask, if the dart bureau is willing to change to a dry food business, in the future, we will only care about the delivery of cakes, and all the things of selling cakes will be left to them to do, so that not only will you be relaxed, but you can also avoid some troubles." ”

"Is the dart game doing well? Why change careers? ”

Lu Xiaoyi briefly told the situation of the dart game, and Lu Zhong nodded after hearing it: "I understand when you say this, I didn't expect that the Sihai Dart Bureau has only been open for a year and will crowd out other dart games like this." ”

Yulan said: "Didn't you listen to Xiao Yi? The Four Seas Dart Bureau has the power and money, he wants to eat meat, and the others can only drink soup. ”

Lu Zhong thought for a while and said: "They have traveled all the year round and traveled north and south all year round, no one has seen it, and they have not dealt with any occasion, if the dart bureau is willing to change careers to do dry food business, of course it is the best, I am just worried that they think that our business is not profitable, and they are unwilling to take it." ”

Lu Xiaoyi is not worried, "Although the profit is thin, it can't hold a large amount, and it is the only one, they changed the dart game into a shop, whether it is sold in retail or in batches, it depends on how they calculate." ”

Yulan became happy, "This thing is going to be done, I can let go of this heart, speaking of which, Liangzi is really a noble person of our family, Xiaoyi, you go to invite Liangzi to come to our house for lunch tomorrow, in addition to asking about the dart game, you also have to give him the money for the past few months." ”

Lu Xiaoyi nodded, and the next day after cutting the pigweed, he went to find the remaining grain.

The surplus grain was not at home, Lu Xiaoyi had to sit on the stone outside the courtyard and wait for him, smelling the bursts of thorny roses wafting from the courtyard, his eyes were staring at the direction of the path behind the mountain, imagining the appearance of the surplus grain coming from the bluestone path, the corners of Lu Xiaoyi's mouth rose unconsciously, and the sentence appeared in his mind: Lang Liqingxitou, concubine sitting on Qingshan Pass.

Unconsciously blushing, she turned her head to look at the open field of vision, and saw that the green mountains were green, the green water was green, the green mountains were connected to the clouds, and the green water surrounded the village.

Looking closer, a slightly chubby woman in a gray and green shirt was heading towards Yu's house.

The reason why Lu Xiaoyi was sure that people were coming to the Yu family was because the residents of Shangxi Village were scattered, and the Yu family lived in a corner, and the path leading to the Yu family branched off from the main road of Shangxi Village, and there was only one way to the Yu family, and the woman who was staggering not far away was walking on this road.

When the woman approached, Lu Xiaoyi immediately recognized who she was, and even knew her intentions.

The person who came was Qin Matchmaker from Xiaxi Village, who said goodbye to Lu Yong last year, and habitually looked at Lu Xiaoyi and Xiaoding outside the Lu family's courtyard.

Lu Xiaoyi still remembers the eyes of Qin Matchmaker at that time, especially when she looked at Xiaoding, it was like looking at a commodity to be sold at a price, which made people feel uncomfortable, since that time, Lu Xiaoyi has no good impression of Qin Matchmaker, and usually turns a blind eye to her when she sees her in the village, fortunately, Qin Matchmaker is not interested in ordinary lame girls, she is interested in those girls and teenagers in the village who are in their prime.

Mrs. Qin kept burying her head in climbing, and when she raised her eyes to see Lu Xiaoyi, she paused for a moment, and soon smiled: "Ouch, who should I be, it turned out to be Lu Xiaoyi, sitting motionless, scared me." ”

Lu Xiaoyi grinned, "My grandmother said that people don't feel sorry, and they don't feel shocked when they knock on the door in the middle of the night." I'm sitting here with a big living person, why is Granny Qin frightened? ”

Mrs. Qin's face was pale, and she said unhappily: "Clever teeth, when you cry in the future, you will have to beg me with silver in the end." ”

"What are you doing?" Lu Xiaoyi asked knowingly.

Mrs. Qin pursed her lips and said, "Forget it, you are still young, and I don't understand what I told you." Huh! I said Lu Xiaoyi, what are you waiting outside the Yu family's courtyard? ”

Lu Xiaoyi's mind turned, and he said seriously: "Brother Liang owes me the silver and doesn't pay it back, my mother asked me to stay here and wait, anyway, if I can run, the monk can't run the temple, and I can't do it if I don't pay back the silver." ”

Mrs. Qin exclaimed: "Ouch, this poor boy still has foreign debts? Do you owe too much? ”

"Many!" Lu Xiaoyi asked Mrs. Qin: "Granny Qin, did you also come to Brother Liang to ask for money?" ”

"You can say that." Mrs. Qin sat down next to Xiao Yi, "I'm here to pull the red line for the Yu family, if he gets it, he has to give me the matchmaker money, if he can't do it, if he is a person who will come to things, give me a hard-earned money, and I can think of him if there is a suitable one in the future." ”

Although he had already guessed the intention of Qin's matchmaker, and heard her say it herself, Lu Xiaoyi's heart was still inevitably sour, and he said in his heart: "Brother Liang is mine, I have already taken a fancy to it, and you matchmakers are all on the side." (To be continued......)
