In the afternoon of the same day, the dart bureau did not send someone to replenish the stock, it seems that the independent sales are not as smooth as Lu Xiaoyi estimated, but everything is afraid of people with a heart, as long as you work hard, I believe that the business will slowly become lively.

Here in Xiaxi Village, Lu Lian was pregnant, and the matter of Sister-in-law Hua helping the Lu family bake cakes on her behalf soon spread throughout the village, and in the next few days, women took the initiative to ask Yulan if she still needed manpower, Yulan smiled and refused one by one, only saying that the business was small, and the manpower was enough for the time being.

Mrs. Lu guarded the whole time in the east courtyard with a black face, and attacked the woman who came to the door, as if others were all here to find out the baking recipe, and they all had bad intentions and came to calculate the property of his children and grandchildren.

Many thin-faced women were blushed by Mrs. Lu's anger, and vowed never to land at the door of the house again, but the thick-faced women didn't take it seriously, but instead said behind their backs that Yulan had a lot of eyes and was unwilling to hire them, and asked Mrs. Lu to put on a face for them, they must have made a few bucks, and they looked down on people in their eyes.

There are also some women who look for Sister-in-law Hua to start, and they want to set up the method of scones in and out of words, but Sister-in-law Hua smiled and said nothing, and was ridiculed by those women.

Of course, these things were all whispered by the magpie to Xiao Yi, and he also made it clear which women they were one by one.

Lu Xiaoyi told Yulan again, and Yulan smiled: "I was worried before, but on the first day Sister-in-law Hua came, my heart fell to the ground, and I firmly believe that Sister-in-law Hua is not that kind of person!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi was puzzled: "Mother, what do you see?" ”

Yulan said: "The matter of our family's baking business has long been rumored in the village, and my sister-in-law must have heard about it." But the first time she came to our backyard, she saw us sticking cakes in the dirt pit, and she didn't say a word of superfluity, neither surprised nor curious, just kneading the cakes with the dough, and even if she spoke, she only said something that had nothing to do with the scones. ”

"So, my mother thinks that Sister-in-law Hua is a reliable person?" Lu Xiaoyi asked.

Yulan nodded, beckoned to Xiaoyi Xiaoding, and beckoned the two of them to her side. "It doesn't take too long to look at people. Sometimes a single action, a demeanor, and a word can make people look at each other, so don't be too reckless in your life and work in the future, just be steady and down-to-earth. Don't try to calculate others. Because there are many, many smarter people than you. Don't take anyone for a fool, you know? ”

Seeing the two daughters nodding, Magnolia smiled and patted their heads. "It doesn't matter if you don't understand it for a while, as long as you remember your mother's words, think more about things in the future, and one day you will understand."

"Your father took Xiao Geng to herd the cattle, I don't have anything to do here, you go to the front yard to play."

When the young ladies arrived in the front yard, they saw that their grandfather and uncle were cleaning up the baskets and mats, and they also stepped forward to help, in addition to the several baskets agreed upon by Lu Xiaoyi and Lu Shouzeng last year, some new styles were added.

Because the soft mat grass cut this year is in season, the basket effect is very good, the basket surface is smooth, the texture is clear, and it is light and generous in the hand, which makes people love it.

Lu Xiaoyi once proposed to dye brilliantly, but Lu Shouzeng rejected it with high cost, and now, Lu Yong thought of a good idea, he kneaded the dark green soft mat grass and the yellowish soft mat grass into ropes respectively, and the yellow and green colors were matched together, which could make a lot of different patterns and make the cheap and affordable grass basket more beautiful.

Lu Xiaoyi asked: "Grandfather, is the basket good to sell recently?" ”

Lu Shouzeng stroked his beard with a smile, "It's easy to sell!" The price is cheaper than the bamboo basket, and the appearance is not bad, so there are many people who buy it. ”

Xiao Ding played with a boxy basket and asked Lu Yong: "Uncle, what is this pretending to?" ”

Lu Yong smiled: "You open it and take a look." ”

It turned out to be a delicate bookcase, the top cover was made oblique, and the inside was divided into several grids, leaving the position of the book, ink, paper, pen and inkstone, and the structure was very exquisite.

Lu Yong said: "This bookbox is very easy to sell, not only the price is cheap but also light and rainproof, every time I go to set up a stall outside the academy, poor students rush to buy it." ”

Lu Xiaoyi praised: "Uncle, you are really getting more and more powerful!" How did you come up with the idea? ”

Lu Yong scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I'm just messing around, whatever is easy to sell will be made up like that!" ”

Lu Shouzeng was obviously more and more satisfied with his youngest son, and laughed and said: "Your uncle used to be playful, but his brain was not stupid, but now he thinks of a lot of tricks, and there are really people who buy it when he puts it out in twos and threes." ”

Lu Xiaoyi thought of an idea and thought it was feasible, so he said to Lu Shouzeng: "Grandfather, most of my cakes are sold to merchants, and they often put the cakes in cloth belts, which are easy to be crushed, or you specially compile a basket for the merchants to put scones, the basket mouth is compared to the size of the cake, and the depth can hold about thirty cakes, plus the lid is tied with a rope, which can be tied to the saddle, and when the time comes, let the uncles of the dart bureau help you sell it together, what do you think?" ”

"Okay, you go back and tell your grandfather in detail, whether it's good or not, let's make it up first and try to sell it!"

In terms of business, Lu Shouzeng still believes in Lu Xiaoyi very much, and it was also at her instigation that he went to the city to sell baskets and mats, although he didn't make much money, but he became more and more confident. This year, I took advantage of the midsummer to make a mat with Lu Yong, and Lu Yong's flexible mind, once I took care of my heart and did things seriously, business was still good.

Lu Xiaoyi suddenly thought that the opening of the dart bureau's shop could not only help his grandfather sell baskets and baskets, but also help more people sell things, so that the dart bureau could consider opening a consignment shop in the future, take the kind of agricultural and commercial docking route, take advantage of the daily delivery of cakes, and transport some fresh melons and vegetables, eggs, live chickens and ducks and other agricultural products to the city by the way, and charge a certain sales fee, which is also a lot of income in January.

Lu Xiaoyi became complacent, helped her grandfather pack up the basket and mats, and beckoned Xiaoding to go with her to Yu's house, she wanted to tell Yu Liang about her ideas, and halfway through, she calmed down again, and her selfishness began to make trouble, forget it, the dart bureau has not even started the scone business, why bother to use more troublesome agricultural business docking to toss them. Moreover, she also has to consider the future of her and the surplus grain, she is married, she can't continue to do the dry food business, what will she do with the surplus grain when the time comes? It seems that this way of agribusiness docking is good, and she can try to do it in the future!

At this time, Xiao Ding grabbed her, "Sister, wait a minute, Liu Bao and they are coming." ”

Lu Xiaoyi turned around and saw Liu Bao, Shen Qiang, Lu Bingyu, and Lu Wufeng chasing behind, when did these guys play together.

When a few people approached, Lu Xiaoyi asked the two cousins first, "Why did you two come out, does your uncle and grandfather know?" ”

Lu Wufeng shook his head and said: "My grandfather is reading in the big study, my father is reading in the small study, I heard Shen Qiang blowing the whistle outside the courtyard, so I sneaked out with my eldest brother!" ”

Lu Bingyu was a little ashamed, and comforted herself: "We have finished reading the books arranged by our grandfather, and we have also finished writing the words arranged, and the saints all say that work and rest are combined, so it's okay for us to come out and play." ”

Did the sage say that? Lu Xiaoyi didn't know, and she didn't bother to figure it out, in her consciousness, childhood was used to play, Lu Bingyu could play if she wanted to, and when she was older and more mature, it was not too late to read slowly.

Shen Qiang sympathized: "You are so pitiful, the two pedantic gentlemen in the family are staring at it all the time, how can we be so free!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi hated him, "Don't talk about them, sooner or later you will have to go to the academy to study for a few years." ”

"Hmph, I'm never going to that Rausch School again!" Shen Qiang snorted coldly and rushed forward, "Where are you going?" ”

Xiao Ding said: "Let's go to Brother Liang's house, will you go?" ”

"Go, go!" Liu Bao followed excitedly, and then explained to the little brother of the Lu family: "Brother Grain, Brother Coco, you haven't been there, have you?" If you go, you will know. ”

Lu Bingyu's little brothers are still very qualified, and they patiently listened to Liu Bao's words before nodding their heads and expressing their willingness to go together.

Shen Qiang led the way in front, and several children in the back rushed up and ran wildly on the path leading to Yu Liang's house.

A few people came in time, and Yu Liang went out and was about to enter the mountain, looking at the uninvited group of people in surprise, and said with a smile: "I was planning to enter the mountain, and I won't go if you come." ”

Shen Qiang said excitedly: "Brother Liang, let's go, let's go, we have never been in the mountain, you take us in to have a look!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi scared him: "There are wolves in the mountains, you are so fat, you are the first wolf to eat!" ”

Shen Qiang trembled in fright, quickly drilled into the courtyard of the Yu family, found a smaller spear, and shouted at Lu Xiaoyi proudly: "The people in the rivers and lakes call the wolf beater, it's me Shen!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi glanced at him with disdain and looked at Yu Liang, "Brother Liang, are we all okay with us?" ”

Yu Liang scratched his head, a little embarrassed, "It's okay if you follow the arrangement, if you run around, fall under the cliff or encounter poisonous insects and snakes, it's not a joke." ”

As soon as Yu Liang's voice fell, he immediately frightened some people, Xiaoding, Liu Bao, and Lu Wufeng all said that they would not go, but Shen Qiang and Lu Bingyu were resolute and determined to follow.

After some arrangement, Xiao Ding, Liu Bao, Lu Wufeng and Heihu stayed in the Yu family's courtyard, and Yu Liang took Xiao Yi, Shenqiang, and Lu Bingyu into the mountains and forests.

In summer, the mountains and forests are humid and sultry, the grass and trees grow the most luxuriantly, the sunlight is projected from the branches and leaves, the mottled land is as mysterious and beautiful as a dream, and the summer cicadas hiss, the birds chirp clearly, and the sound echoes in the lonely mountain forest.

Lu Bingyu and Shen Qiang both entered the mountain for the first time, and were completely shocked by the beauty of the secluded mountain forest. Shen Qiang was so competitive that he also wanted to say, how could he have only read the book for a few months, where was the opponent of Bingyu, who had been reading for a few years, and he couldn't force a sentence after meditating for a long time, and roared angrily.

In an instant, the chirping cicadas and the singing birds all flew away, and a few pieces of smoke-like feathers floated down.

Lu Xiaoyi stretched out his hand to catch the soft feathers that swirled down, and the gray fluff was edged with a circle of crimson hue, trembling in the slight mountain breeze like a slender tentacle, which was very beautiful. (To be continued......)
