In the evening, the people patrolling the mountains in the village came back, and they didn't even see a wolf shadow, and the senior hunter said the same as Lu Zhong, it was a lone wolf calling for the wolves, and he must have followed him into the mountains at this time.

In the evening, Yulan warmed up the braised rabbit meat and rose cakes that Lu Xiaoyi brought back, boiled some gruel, fried shredded radish and frangipani, and Lu Zhong was full of praise.

Lu Xiaoyi thought that her father was praising the rose cake, and asked happily: "Dad, is this cake filled with rose sugar particularly delicious?" ”

Lu Zhong replied, "En! The rabbit meat is well cooked, very flavorful, and it tastes very tender. ”

Lu Xiaoyi secretly rolled his eyes, no longer bothered his father to eat rabbit meat, and silently ate shredded radish and frangipani.

The three sisters and brothers of the Lu family are still very sensible, they ate braised rabbit meat at Yuliang's house at noon, and brought Yulan and Lu Zhong this at night, and they didn't touch chopsticks at all.

When the parents were very relieved to see such filial children, Yulan was even more motherly, and kept giving rabbit meat to the three children, muttering: "I don't like to eat these, I'll give them to you." ”

Lu Xiaoyi took the rice bowl to avoid the rabbit meat that Yulan sandwiched, Xiao Ding was the same as her, Xiao Geng still wanted to eat, his big eyes peeked at the two sisters, and seeing that they didn't look at it, he quickly stuffed the rabbit meat into his mouth, and chewed it slowly.

Worried that Xiao Geng was choking, Xiao Yi and Xiao Ding pretended not to see it.

Waiting until the end of dinner, Lu Xiaoyi then asked Lu Zhong: "Dad, do you think this cake with prickly rose sugar filling can be sold for money?" ”

Lu Zhong took the remaining cake in his hand and looked it up and down, and said slowly: "I heard that the dim sum in the city is crispy on the outside and thin on the inside, and the filling is thick, and it tastes like slag in the mouth, and you have to queue up to buy it every day, and it will be gone if you go late." If you want to eat it, I'll go to the queue early tomorrow and buy a few for you to taste, it must be your rose cake that can't be compared! ”

Lu Xiaoyi was struck, pouting and unconvinced, "That's a fine dim sum eaten by rich and noble people, the price is definitely not cheap, my is a cake that ordinary people can afford." ”

Lu Zhong saw that his daughter was a little anxious, and said with a smile: "You kid, I haven't finished speaking, you are in a hurry, I didn't say that you can't sell this cake for money, the thorny rose candy filling in it is really fragrant, someone must buy it if you sell it for three or five cents!" ”

Yulan disagreed: "This cake is made of dead noodles, it costs sugar and noodles, and the baked biscuits are shriveled and unsold, who wants to pay for it?" ”

"Mother, let's make it into a dough, it's bulging and bulging, it looks like a good deal." Lu Xiaoyi proposed.

Magnolia nodded, "Try it another day." ”

Lu Xiaoyi took the opportunity to put forward her plan to sell dry food, and asked Lu Zhongdao: "Dad, you said that there are so many caravans coming and going in the city, how about we make dry food and sell it to them?" ”

Lu Zhong has been running in the city for a long time, and he still understands some of the situation of the caravan, and he heard his daughter mention the problem of dry food, combined with what he usually sees and hears in the city, and said: "Before our caravan in Lu country leaves the customs, we must prepare enough dry food, most of those dry foods are dried cakes, and fresh foods like steamed buns can't last long. After speaking, he looked at Yulan, a pancake expert, and wanted to hear her opinion.

Yulan smiled: "Look at what I'm doing, it's not like you haven't eaten the cake I baked." ”

Lu Zhong smiled and nodded, "I eat it often, it's delicious, but I don't know how long this cake can last when it is baked?" ”

"It won't grow hair in a few days, and if it dries out, it's no better than ten days."

Lu Zhong said to Lu Xiaoyi: "Did you hear that?" It can't be put away for ten days if it is dry, and those caravans go back and forth for as soon as a month, and the baked cakes can't solve the problem at all. ”

Xiao Ding on the side said: "Dad, why don't they bring rice and noodles to boil water and cook by themselves?" ”

Lu Zhong looked like he was asking the right person, and patiently said to his daughter: "The climate in Mongolia is not good, there is a shortage of water and sand, and the horses of the caravan have limited water in order to carry more goods. I've heard that there are also steamed buns that are dried and used as dry food, and there are also wheat noodles fried and soaked in water to eat, and there are some dry foods that we can't think of. ”

Xiao Ding frowned and said, "It's not delicious to listen to!" ”

Lu Zhong laughed, patted his daughter's head, and said: "That's for sure, but there is money to be made, and those businessmen are willing to suffer as much as they want, so it's a big deal to go back to Lu and make up for the debt!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi was full of excitement when he heard this, and asked excitedly: "Dad, you said that we should be able to make dry food that will not be bad for a month, can we make money?" Lu Xiaoyi is still confident in naan buns, the more he brings them to arid places, the longer they are stored, and a month is not a problem at all.

Yulan saw that she was a money-making fan when she opened and closed her mouth, and said angrily: "You want money and want to go crazy!" I didn't let you learn needlework! ”

I'm still worried that she doesn't learn needlework! Lu Xiaoyi hehehe, didn't answer her mother's words, and waited for her father to reply.

Lu Zhong smiled and nodded, "Do you need to say this?" There are so many caravans, dozens of large people, and there are about a dozen small ones, if there is really good dry food, the money will be guaranteed to be profitable. ”

Lu Xiaoyi seemed to see large and small silver ingots smashing towards her like snowflakes, and couldn't help laughing, and said, "Okay, our family will do dry food business." ”

Lu Zhong just smiled, brought the remaining broth in the basin, broke the cake in his hand and dipped it in the soup to eat, Yulan ignored her, waiting to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

After the meal, Lu Xiaoyi returned to the kang after washing, played with Xiao Ding Xiaogeng for a while, and waited for the two of them to go to the meeting with Zhou before shrinking into the quilt to think about her dry food business.

I don't know how long it took, Lu Xiaoyi, who was half-asleep and half-awake, was woken up by the mournful wolf howl, and couldn't understand why the wolf hadn't gone back to the mountains, and he didn't even feel a sore throat after howling for two nights.

The next day, the wolf howl became a hot topic of discussion among the villagers, and the heart that felt settled down once again rose to the throat, and the villagers gathered at Fanglizheng's house, shouting and organizing people to patrol the mountain again.

Mrs. Lu was only worried about his precious grandson, and came to the east courtyard early in the morning to guard Xiao Geng, for fear that he would be taken away by a wolf if he was not careful.

Lu Xiaoyi ran to Yu's house, and sure enough, three hares were placed at the gate of the courtyard.

What a wolf who is loyal and courageous! Lu Xiaoyi praised from the bottom of his heart.

Yu Liang invited Lu Xiaoyi and them to eat roast rabbit meat again, and Lu Xiaoyi's enthusiastic appearance made Lu Xiaoyi unbearable, regardless of his height much higher than her, and regardless of the fact that he was six years older than her, he sternly corrected: "Brother Liang, you really can't live!" I wonder how you've been here all these years? ”

Yu Liang blushed, pursed his lips and smiled, put the three rabbits in the back basket, locked the courtyard door, "Then I'll go to the city to sell them." ”

Lu Xiaoyi nodded and said, "Just go down the mountain together." ”

The two walked one after the other, Lu Xiaoyi saw that there was no one around, and said: "Brother Liang, Lizheng and they are looking for it again, why don't you say it has not entered the mountain, what if it is caught?" ”

Yu Liang was very relieved, and said easily: "Don't worry, it must have hidden in the mountains during the day, and they can't find it." ”

"It has been howling for two nights in a row, and its approximate location has already been revealed, and if it comes back tonight, what will the hunters in the village do if they set a trap and wait for it?"

Yu Liang stopped, glanced at Lu Xiaoyi, and then continued to walk forward, his face obviously a little more worried.

The two walked to the gate of Lu's courtyard, Lu Xiaoyi entered the courtyard, and the remaining grain continued to go to the city silently.

That night, Lu Xiaoyi waited for the wolf to howl with her eyes open, until she fell asleep, and did not hear the mournful howl of the she-wolf.

Early the next morning, without her younger brothers and sisters urging her to get up, the first thing she did when she opened her eyes was to dress and go straight to the backyard, and asked Yulan: "Mother, did you hear the wolf howl last night?" ”

Yulan just finished washing her face, unhurriedly wrung out the cloth towel and changed a basin of water to Xiao Yi, before saying: "Finally, there is no howl, Amitabha, we can sleep peacefully." ”

Lu Xiaoyi threw the cold water on his face, wrung out the cloth towel and rubbed his cheeks, but he was thinking about the she-wolf in his heart, you said that it screamed violently for two nights, which made people panic, and suddenly stopped screaming, it was difficult to really retreat to the mountains and forests? No, I'll have to go find the surplus food and ask for clarification later.

After breakfast, Mrs. Lu came again, and Xiao Geng pouted dissatisfied: "Grandmother, you guard me, I can't go out to play." ”

Mrs. Lu held Xiao Geng in her arms and said earnestly: "Good grandson!" You don't know that there are wolves in our mountains, and my grandmother is afraid that the wolves will hang you away, and she can't sleep at night and wants to tie you to her waist. Our family is just one of you, if you really have three long and two short, your grandmother won't be able to live! ”

Yulan said lightly: "Mother, don't be so scary, we have more than 300 people in Xiaxi Village, and there are more than 100 people in Shangxi Village. ”

Mrs. Lu hated Yulan fiercely, and said, "You know a fart!" Why did the Lu family marry a stupid woman like you, the wolves have called to the door, and you are still talking here! ”

Magnolia didn't bother to take care of her, and flipped through the sewing basket to find an unfinished vamp.

Lu Xiaoyi's face is black, since Lu Shouzeng's fainting incident, Lu Pozi has stopped a lot, and today it broke out again, so that Lu Xiaoyi had to sigh that people's hearts are difficult to change and scolding addictive.

Mrs. Lu continued to scold: "Dumb? Why don't you dare to answer? Bah! You're as bad as that mud you can't stick to the wall! I can't look down on you like this! ”

Yulan got up with the upper of her shoes and dropped a sentence, "No matter what, you are also my mother-in-law, if you don't give you face, you will slap my husband in the face, why can't you stand this anger?" Anyway, it's all you who suffers from scolding. Then, he went straight out of the yard, and he didn't know who to talk to.

Leaving Mrs. Lu hugging Xiao Geng, her face was red and her neck was thick, she wanted to go out with her to chase and scold Yulan, and she was worried that Xiao Geng would be taken away by the wolf without her care, and the two sides were in a dilemma, but in the end, the grandson was important, so she didn't chase after her, and kept scolding in her mouth: "It's the other way around, this stupid woman is the other way around!" ”

Xiao Yi and Xiao Ding glanced at each other and snickered knowingly.

Xiao Geng childishly threatened Mrs. Lu, "Grandmother, if you scold my mother again, I will ignore you!" ”

Mrs. Lu sat on the edge of the kang one by one, Xiao Geng struggled not to hold her, Mrs. Lu was very sad, and her eyes were full of tears.

Lu Xiaoyi and Xiao Geng made eye contacts, Xiao Geng pouted and was unhappy, Lu Xiaoyi didn't want to coax Mrs. Lu, she always felt that she had worked hard to coax her, and after a few days, she sprouted again, and after three or four times, she was also a little weak.

So, the three children looked at Mrs. Lu silently sad, and they didn't know what she would do next.

Mrs. Lu was sad enough, got up and forcibly hugged Xiao Geng, "Let's go, go to the West Courtyard with my grandmother, I can't stay here!" If you stay any longer, you will be by your mother sooner or later! ”

Xiao Geng struggled again and again, but his arms couldn't twist his thighs, and he looked at Xiao Yi Xiaoding pitifully.

Xiao Ding smiled: "Little brother really won't be happy!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi felt the same way, and waved goodbye: "Grandmother loves you so much, go eat and drink spicy food obediently!" ”

Xiao Geng was disappointed in his two sisters, and aggrievedly lay on Lu Pozi's shoulder and gave up struggling.

After chopping chicken food in the afternoon, Lu Xiaoyi took the time to go to Yu Liang's house, and learned that the she-wolf sent three fat rabbits last night, and the reason why she didn't howl was that Yu Liang stayed outside the courtyard all night waiting for it, and the wolf was not over, so he said some goodbye and let it go back to the mountains, don't come out again, and beware of being caught by the hunters in the village.

As for whether the she-wolf understood it or not, Lu Xiaoyi didn't know, but since then, Lu Xiaoyi has never heard the wolf howl again, nor has he seen this she-wolf called Big Gray Gray.
