Chapter 15 Borrowing three liters of grain
On the fifth day of the lunar month, Li Luo and Cui Xiuning came to this time and space on the fourth day.
The two have run out of food. Today, Li Luo must buy the grain back. Cui Xiuning saw Li Luo going out with the 'four copper coins', and hurriedly told him not to forget to buy paper. Then she was not idle, and began to plow the grass roots in the yard with a firewood knife.
The fox came out lazily, her narrow eyes kept staring at Cui Xiuning, and finally she became angry.
"No more! The old lady hasn't eaten yet! Look at me skinning you and eating your meat! ”
The fox was disappointed, dragged his heavy body, and staggered across the threshold.
Cui Xiuning shaved grass roots for an hour, her stomach growled, her stomach was bubbling with sour water, and her head was a little dizzy. After all, I ate a small half-liter of wheat yesterday, and I haven't eaten anything today.
Looking at this dilapidated and desolate courtyard, Cui Xiuning suddenly slashed on the ground with a firewood knife in anger.
I just graduated from the police academy after four years of hard study, and I haven't done a decent case well, and I haven't had a good relationship, so I came to this ghost place, this ghost era.
God, it might be better for you to let me die in the line of duty, you shouldn't have done this to me.
Others are crossing dang Gege, or they are also Miss Everyone. You actually let the old lady have no food to eat, and beg for a living with a fugitive all day long.
It's so angry!
The old lady is a police flower, dressed like a refugee, can't eat, has no place to take a bath, and can't bear it...... Wipe your ass with snow.
it!
Li Luo, it's all you scum, you're a bad guy! Why don't you just let me get it back? You're a! The old lady let you die.
The more Cui Xiuning thought about it, the more angry he became, he suddenly stood up, slashed out with a firewood knife, and then slashed, a whip leg, and a reflexive firewood knife. actually practiced a set of knife skills.
Li Luo had just come back at this time, and he was standing at the gate of the courtyard with the things he bought, just in time to see Cui Xiuning playing with a knife.
Wearing a big jacket and playing with a firewood knife, it's awesome.
This girl is a criminal policeman, and she is from a police family, so it is normal for her to be able to use knives. Her sword skills are definitely beautiful enough, and her skills can't be said to be none, but after all, it's still a bit fancy.
Captain Cao's knife skills are far from beautiful as hers, but they are simple, direct, skillful and ruthless, and they are a lot stronger. If the two of them fight together, Cui Xiuning will most likely die.
After almost a set of knife skills, Cui Xiuning suddenly turned around and slashed at Li Luo. She had already found out that Li Luo was back.
"What do you think?" Cui Xiuning dropped the chai knife and asked.
"Heroic, domineering side leakage, very good-looking." Li Luo carried things into the courtyard.
"What do you mean? You think it's a show, right? ”
"I didn't say it, I just thought it was tall."
"If you fight that commander, who do you think will win?"
"He's not going to lose."
"I'm going to die? All right. How many times shall we pass? Rest assured, I'm measured. ”
"I'm not going to fight you."
"It's boring. How many things did you buy? How much did the four copper coins change? ”
"It turned out that a big copper coin could be exchanged for seventy wen, and Song Shouye gave me face and exchanged a total of three hundred wen for me. I bought 5 liters of white rice, 5 liters of wheat, 5 liters of beans, one or two salts, and a knife of yellow paper, and spent a total of 290 Wen. ”
"That means we only have 13 yuan left, and we still have to buy firewood. These fifteen liters of grain are only enough to eat for half a month, and they will definitely not last for the New Year. How much does yellow paper cost? ”
"Thirty texts, only about a ten. Boss Song asked if it was a credit, and I said that it was used as toilet paper, which scared him, and what did he say Sure enough, the children of the family are different. ”
"It's just yellow paper, is it so luxurious to make toilet paper?"
"How not to be extravagant? Look at this paper, although the quality is not bad, it is only 16 carat in size. You're going to use at least two at a time, right? That's 6 cents. If a family of five counts, it will cost 30 yuan a day, and it will cost 10 yuan a year just to wipe the buttocks! The top of the villagers' family has a year-round income, isn't it luxury? In this era, there are no machines, and paper is all made by hand, which is not expensive. ”
"Then I'll just use it alone to save money."
"What about me?"
"If you're a man, use snow gnocchi. Except that it's too cold, there's nothing bad about it. ”
Li Luo: "......"
At noon, the two boiled half a liter of white rice porridge and ate it to their heart's content. The porridge boiled from brown rice in ancient times is really delicious. It is much more beautiful than dry chewing wheat, and even Cui Xiuning drank three bamboo tubes.
Although Cui Xiuning scolded the female fox in the morning, for the sake of its cubs, she still gave it the last bit of porridge.
Li Luo knew that such a thing could not happen in the villagers' homes. In the final analysis, Cui Xiuning, including himself, still has not changed the inertia of modern people, and he is still a rich man in his bones.
When the female fox was licking the porridge, suddenly a voice came from the courtyard: "Is Li Langjun at home?" "Listening to the accent, it's a Korean man.
"What did he shout?" Choi so-nyeong doesn't know Korean, let alone ancient Korean.
"A neighbor came and asked if I was home." Li Luo came out of the house and saw three people in the courtyard.
One was a yellow-skinned Goryeo man, wearing bloomers, and was bent over with a smirk on his face.
There is also a woman dressed in Goryeo "Zegaoli", with a sallow face and holding a large pottery bowl in her hand.
The last one was a little boy of six or seven years old, with a runny nose and big eyes because he was too thin.
"Brother Min, is there something going on? Come in, it's cold outside. Li Luo recognized that this was the man of the Min family who lived opposite. I've talked to him on the road before.
The man of the Min family nodded again and again, "It's really disturbing Li Langjun's Smectac." He heard that Li Luo was one of the villagers who were the children of the family, so his attitude was very respectful.
When the three of them entered the house, the lady of the Min family saw Cui Xiuning, and immediately exclaimed: "Oh, there are really fairy-like people, Mrs. Li, you are everyone's young lady Smecta at first glance!" He bent over and over again.
Although Cui Xiuning didn't understand what she said, she also knew that it was a compliment, so she had to smile politely and nod in return, thinking to herself: Why did you come? It can't be an autumn breeze, right?
The man of the Min family said: "Knowing that Li Langjun is in trouble here, he must not have prepared kimchi for the winter, right?" So I'll send you some tastings, and you'll get tired of eating only food every day. ”
The lady of the Min family held a large pottery bowl in both hands, and said to Li Luo: "Please accept it, Smecta!" ”
Li Luo is now very fluent in ancient Korean, he couldn't imagine that the other party was so polite, and said very uncomfortably: "Brother Min is too polite, how can this be embarrassing?" ”
Cui Xiuning didn't know what the other party was sending, so she could only put on a polite smile and wave her hand.
The owner of the Min family said a little proudly: "I heard that although Li Langjun is the son of a Goryeo family, he was born and raised in the Central Plains, so he must rarely eat authentic kimchi in his hometown, right?" Our Kimchi in Korea is a good thing that is not available in the Central Plains! Many rich people in the Central Plains can't eat it! ”
Li Luo has a black line, and the narcissism and arrogance of the country are genes, and the Koreans and their descendants, Koreans, are really the same urine, and a kimchi is said to be so tall.
At this time, the Min family finally found the fox, and when they saw the fox eating white rice porridge, their eyes were straight.
"Well, it's a fox!"
"Does it eat white rice porridge? This ......"
The man of the Min family immediately reacted, "Oh, Li Langjun is really different from us farmers, even if he is in trouble, the foxes in the family will also eat white rice!" ”
Li Luo didn't know where the other party came in, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Min has anything to say, just say it directly." ”
"The villain is mainly here to send Li Langjun some kimchi Smecta, but, but ......" The Min family man stuttered a little.
The lady of the Min family saw that he couldn't speak, so she was immediately anxious, and simply answered: "But the food at home is almost gone, and the child is too hungry, and he is afraid that he will be blown away if the wind blows away." ”
As he spoke, he pulled the little boy over and showed him, "Li Langjun Li Niangzi, look at this little cub, he is too hungry." ”
Li Luo was speechless, and said perfunctorily: "Sure enough, everyone is short of food, how many buckets of food do you have at home?" ”
"Oops!" The lady of the Min family exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Where are there still a few buckets of grain?" It's not even a few liters! A pot of porridge is also put in a handful of wheat, and it looks like it is full of vegetable leaves! ”
"Yes, Li Langjun, people are not cattle and sheep, how can they just eat vegetable leaves? The adults can still bear it, but the little cub is too hungry and pitiful. The man of the Min family said and dragged the child in the hand of the lady of the Min family over and showed it to Li Luo again, "Li Langjun, please look, the little cub is like a leather monkey, with only bones left." ”
This time it was Li Luo's turn to stammer, "This, this ......"
The man of the Min family immediately grabbed the little boy's arm and reprimanded: "Can't you speak when you see a noble person like Li Langjun!" ”
The little boy pursed his mouth and sniffed, "Li, Li Langjun, please lend us a bucket of food Li Langjun......" and then stopped talking, frowning and thinking bitterly.
The man of the Min family was anxious, his hands exerted force, and the little boy who was pinched and hurt immediately remembered the words behind him: "Wait for the grain next summer, and then return it to Li Langjun!" ”
The man of the Min family said angrily: "You rabbit cub, who told you to tell this to the nobleman?" Go back and shoot you! ”
The lady of the Min family immediately grabbed the little guy's ear, "Even if you starve to death, you can't embarrass Li Langjun!" ”
Li Luokou was dumbfounded, he couldn't imagine that the Min family would come to stage this play, what is this?
But he was defeated.
Forget it, take a few liters of grain for a clean one.
Cui Xiuning has long been nervous, she doesn't understand, but it doesn't mean she can't understand. But how to refuse? Isn't it embarrassing to look up and see each other after refusing?
Li Luo shook his head and said, "I don't have to pay it back." But there really isn't a bucket of food. I will give you a maximum of three liters to replenish the body of the little ones. ”
knew that the other party was "asking for money", but he couldn't help but "sit on the ground and pay back the money".
The three members of the Min family suddenly showed joy and complimented Li Luo and Cui Xiuning for a while. In the end, Li Luo gave two liters of wheat and one liter of 100 meters, and finally sent them away.
