Lu Xiaoyi mentioned the idea in his heart to Yu Liang, and Yu Liang said: "You came up with the idea, I just helped, I can't afford the credit you said, and I don't want any money." ”

Seeing Yu Liangyun's light appearance and didn't care at all, Lu Xiaoyi anxiously circled around him, and muttered in his mouth: "Then how can I tell my father and mother, since I want to play your banner, you can't shirk the money." "If you don't take the opportunity to earn your wife's capital, how will you marry in the future? This is Lu Xiaoyi's true thoughts in her heart, but she can't say it.

Yu Liang smiled, "It's just digging a pit, anyone can do it, and the last time I was embarrassed by the prickly rose." I said in advance that I will let you put the money first, and I will take it away when I need it in the future, who wants Uncle Zhong to let me accept it, I will just throw it away if I don't accept it. ”

At the beginning, Yu Liang did let her put it first, Lu Xiaoyi only took him embarrassed to push the words, and he didn't take it seriously, at this time, when Yu Liang was mentioned, he felt that he was a little untrustworthy, and said with a smile: "What, my father and mother are worried that you won't have money to buy New Year's goods for the New Year, so they are in a hurry to send them to you." ”

"I am now one person to feed the whole family is not hungry, usually hunt some rabbits and pheasants for some change, plus a few acres of mountainous land to grow some food, I live alone enough."

Lu Xiaoyi blurted out: "Then what about the money you pay to marry your daughter-in-law?" ”

In the past, Qi Feng made fun of him, and he couldn't help but blush and be ashamed, but now that he was mentioned by a little girl, he blushed like a berry, and he didn't know how to reply.

Lu Xiaoyi regretted her impulsiveness, but fortunately she always let go, hehe smiled and pretended to be stupid, "Na, I don't understand this, I am used to hearing Brother Feng say this." ”

"You're a little girl, don't listen to his nonsense." The red ball on Yu Liang's face faded slightly, and seeing Lu Xiaoyi's eyes looking at him with a smile that seemed to understand or not, the faded red ball climbed up his cheeks again, and hurriedly changed the topic: "You go back and discuss with Uncle Zhong, Uncle Zhong will come to ask when the time comes, and I will help you settle the matter." ”

Lu Xiaoyi hadn't seen such a shy teenager for many years, so he couldn't help but take a few more looks, and his heart was overjoyed.

That night, Lu Xiaoyi made it clear to Lu Zhong and Yulan about the dry food business, of course, the method of scones came from surplus grain, and as for how they knew about the surplus grain, it was not for them to ask.

As soon as she heard that it was about the surplus food, Yulan hurriedly put down the needlework in her hand and sighed: "That kid is really sincere, he doesn't know how to hide such a good secret recipe for dry food, so he will tell us Xiaoyi casually." ”

Yulan is right, if anyone gets a secret recipe and does a unique business, won't they make a lot of money? And anyone can dig this pit, but the mud on the pit wall is a secret formula, and outsiders can't imitate it at all.

Lu Zhong thought for a moment and said solemnly: "Liangzi wants to partner with our family, I'll talk to him tomorrow, if it's really as good as Xiao Yi said, we will do this business." ”

Early the next morning, Lu Zhong really didn't go out of the car, and took Xiao Yi to the Yu family's courtyard.

The surplus seemed to know that they were coming, and sat in the courtyard and waited.

Lu Zhong first asked Yu Liang to take him to see the soil pit, figure it out inside and out, touch the shallow whiskers on his chin, and put forward his opinion, "This pit is not difficult to dig, if only it could add a vent." ”

Lu Xiaoyi's face was black, and he missed the air outlet hole by all means, and then looked at the surplus grain, only to see him scratching his head and explaining: "I left a cigarette on the pit cover." ”

Lu Zhong pointed to the bottom of the pit, "If you leave the cigarette mouth at the top, the baked cake will inevitably smell of smoke, and in my opinion, it is best to open the cigarette mouth at the bottom of the pit." ”

Lu Xiaoyi felt that his father's head was really good, so he nodded in agreement.

Lu Zhong checked again, and there were no other questions, so he asked Yu Liangdao: "Liangzi, you can make a lot of money in this pit, you tell us the secret recipe, what do you think?" ”

Yu Liang had already prepared his words, "Uncle Zhong, you see that I usually have a hard time burning fires, let alone making cakes, and I am alone in my family, so I can't do this business if I want to." ”

Lu Zhong said: "I was also thinking about this last night, since you believe in Uncle Zhong so much, you are willing to hand over the secret recipe for making dry food to me, and the money earned from the dry food business will be counted as three cents for you in the future?" ”

"Three points is too much, you are the ones who contribute to the work, just give me a penny."

Lu Xiaoyi winked at Yu Liang and persuaded, "Brother Liang, just listen to my father!" ”

Yu Liang had no choice but to nod.

Lu Zhong immediately made a decision, pulled the surplus grain into the house and talked about it in detail, Lu Xiaoyi didn't follow, she paced in the yard with a beautiful step, and the black tiger came over to play with her, so she squatted down and rubbed it.

After Lu Zhong finished talking, he asked Lu Xiaoyi to go back.

Yu Liang was sent out of the hospital and nodded at her to show her peace of mind, Lu Xiaoyi smiled back, and went down the mountain with Lu Zhong.

As soon as Lu Zhong arrived home, Lu Shouzeng came over.

"Didn't catch a car today?"

"Well, I didn't rush it, Dad went into the house and sat down for a while."

Lu Shouzeng nodded happily, entered the house and sat down and asked Lu Zhong, "Spring ploughing is coming soon, I'll come over to ask you about your arrangements, if you can't rush the car, I'll take Yong'er to help you plough together." ”

"Don't bother, I always park when the farm is busy." Lu Zhong said truthfully.

Lu Shouzeng's heart is not here, spring ploughing is just an excuse, his purpose is to remind Lu Zhong of the demolition of the wall, saying that it will be demolished after the next year, and there has been no movement in February, Lu Shouzeng is inevitably anxious, knocking on the side and saying: "As soon as spring begins, there will be more things in the field, and I want to do those small things in the yard in advance." ”

The little things in the yard? Lu Zhong immediately understood, and said with a smile: "Dad, don't worry about tearing down the wall, I'll tear it down as soon as I have time!" ”

Lu Shouzeng's mind was said, and when he saw Lu Zhong's positive attitude, he didn't say more, got up and said: "I'm not in a hurry, I just want to take care of this matter before spring ploughing, and the province is too busy to take care of this stubble." With that, he walked outside.

Lu Zhong went to send it, and Lu Shouzeng waved his hand and said: "You set a date to tell me in advance, I will work with Yong'er, and it will be dismantled in the morning." ”

Lu Zhong nodded, sent Lu Shouzeng out of the hospital, turned around and saw Yulan coming from the backyard, and said the purpose of Lu Shouzeng's coming, although Yulan was unhappy, but after all, she nodded, and she didn't say anything, just asked: "Have you set a date?" ”

"If there is no food, I can tear it down today." Lu Zhongdao.

"What does the demolition of the wall have to do with the grain?" Magnolia was puzzled.

Lu Zhong motioned to enter the house and said, Yulan comprehended and followed into the house and closed the door, Yu Liang smiled: "There is no need to close the door, let's just keep our voice down." ”

Yulan glanced at him and urged, "Say it quickly." ”

"I went to Yu's house today to see it, the dirt pit is honestly nothing special, the important thing is the mud of the paste pit, and I don't know where this kid got the recipe, he actually used a kind of soil from Mongolia, in exchange for me, I can't think of breaking my head."

Yulan thought for a moment and said, "Didn't Liangzi's father run darts at the beginning?" He ran a wide range of places and saw many people, perhaps from whom his father heard about it. ”

Lu Zhong also had this thought, nodded in agreement with Yulan, and said slowly: "This is the secret recipe of the Liangzi family, Liangzi generously revealed it to us, we can't leak it carelessly." This has to involve the courtyard wall, you say that the courtyard wall is demolished, how do we dig a pit and how to paste the pit and still hide it? ”

Yulan was puzzled: "Are you worried about your father?" ”

Lu Zhong's face was sneering, "I'm not worried about my father, I'm worried about my mother and the second child, you don't know your mother's temperament, you don't talk carefully, you are a person with a heart, and the second child is even more greedy and fun." ”

He added: "It doesn't matter if it's our own secret recipe, but when it comes to food, we can't think about it more." ”

Yulan said: "Then tear down the wall when the pit is done!" Since there is a secret recipe, let them look at the outside, and they can't learn the inside. ”

"That's what I'm going to do, okay, without further ado, I have to make the pit out quickly." Lu Zhong opened the door and came out, and saw Lu Xiaoyi standing outside the door, grinning at him, and he didn't have to guess to know that this girl was hiding at the door and eavesdropping again.

Lu Xiaoyi volunteered, "Dad, I know all about the process of Brother Liang's digging of the pit, and I will help you with the staff." ”

Lu Zhong smiled and nodded, and Lu Xiaoyi followed him to the backyard.

Yulan also followed, and when she saw Lu Zhong digging a pit in the corner of the courtyard with a shovel, she felt a little familiar, and then saw Xiao Yi holding a shovel and eager to try, she immediately remembered and reprimanded her: "Hey! I said, why is it so familiar, didn't you dig a hole here with a shovel a few years ago? You say, didn't you know the secret recipe of grain at that time? ”

Lu Xiaoyi didn't know that Yulan had such a good memory, and she still remembered it clearly after a few months, hehe smiled and didn't admit it, "Mother, I wanted to dig a pit to raise fish at that time, and I didn't have a relationship with Brother Liang!" ”

Yulan is not so easy to fool, and when she thought of Xiao Yi's mention of doing dry food business, she became more and more suspicious, "You said, you mentioned your dry food business three or four times a year ago, did you already inquire from Liangzi." ”

Lu Xiaoyi complained bitterly in his heart, and it seemed that he seriously underestimated Yulan's judgment, and hurriedly explained: "Mother, listen to me, the dry food business is really something I figured out by myself, when I was playing at Brother Liang's house, I also asked him to inquire, and it happened that he knew a secret recipe, and as soon as the two of them combined, they decided to make it first." ”

Yulan stared at her, Lu Xiaoyi looked like she had a clear conscience, Yulan finally put her mind at ease and sighed: "I'm also worried that you will go down the wrong path, this secret recipe is grain, we can partner with him openly and openly to share the profits with him, but we can't learn the villain's behavior and deceive him and slander him." ”

Lu Xiaoyi nodded and said obediently: "Mother, my daughter knows." ”

It is often Yulan who educates her daughter, so Lu Zhong didn't say a word during the whole process, and when Yulan finished educating her, Lu Zhong said to Yulan with a smile: "Okay, don't nag, you can go on your way, just leave it to me and Xiaoyi here." ”

Yulan immediately smiled and went to the front yard to call Xiaoding to feed the chickens with her.

After digging the soil pit, Lu Zhong pondered it and decided to build an ideal pit shape with adobe bricks, leave a cigarette mouth, and then smear it evenly with field mud, and then go to Yu Liang's house to bring alkaline soil powder, mix it and paste it on the pit wall.

Lu Xiaoyi had to give Lu Zhong's craftsmanship a big thumbs up, compared with the pit dug by the surplus grain, it was superior.

Lu Xiaoyi proposed to dig another one, and at the same time said what he thought in his heart, "Dad, the business will grow bigger in the future, one pit is not enough at all, and my mother can't be busy alone, we must ask someone to help, at that time, how many pairs of eyes are staring at how our family digs a pit, and the secret recipe will be leaked out." ”

Lu Zhong nodded, praised Xiao Yi for being thoughtful, and began to dig a second pit.

Lu Xiaoyi had to think carefully, this kind of business that relies on secret recipes to make money must be kept secret, otherwise there will be many people who follow the trend, and they will not make money at all. You can see the clues from Lu Zhong's driving passengers, there is no secret recipe, everyone with livestock can do it, and now, except for Zhang Gaoming, who quit, others are still insisting, and there is no situation that Lu Xiaoyi predicted at the beginning.

Lu Xiaoyi was a little ashamed, he thought it was too simple, thinking that as long as Lu Zhong persisted, others would quit, in fact, others were not stupid, they could completely imitate Lu Zhong's business model: take a few people into the city sooner or later, and then find work in the city, the income is better than planting crops, who is not happy? Who doesn't insist?

However, this time in the dry food business, Lu Xiaoyi dared to pack tickets, others couldn't imitate it, and when the business started, Lu Zhong didn't have to pick up passengers, and selling dry food every day was enough for him to be busy.
