Chapter Seventy-Five: Despicable Means
The fifteenth moon was round, and shone on the earth, as if it were day.
After sitting for a while, Lu Xiaoyao remembered the river lanterns and lanterns that Zhao Guanlan bought, and the interest came again.
"Xianggong, you said that you put the river lanterns."
Lu Xiaoyao said coquettishly, and her vivid expression made Zhao Guanlan's uncontrollable smile emerge.
"Get up." Zhao Guanlan got up, helped Lu Xiaoyao up, and took Lu Xiaoyao through the osmanthus field by the moonlight.
The sound of the water sounded, and Lu Xiaoyao was pleasantly surprised, he didn't expect that there was really a river on this mountain.
The river is not big, and Zhao Guanlan led Lu Xiaoyao over.
"The water of this creek will flow all the way to Zhenjiang, daughter-in-law, put the river lantern and make a wish."
Zhao Guanlan took out the river lantern, Lu Xiaoyao took it with a smile, and thought that Zhao Guanlan would only hunt and work, but he didn't expect that he would bring himself to release the river lantern one day.
Lu Xiaoyao squatted on the ground to sort out the river lanterns, there are now five people in their family, and Lu Xiaoyao bought five river lanterns, each of which carries a wish.
When Lu Xiaoyao wrote down his wishes, Zhao Guanlan lit the lanterns he bought and hung them on the trees, and the scenery here became very beautiful for a while.
Lu Xiaoyao raised his eyes, and saw Zhao Guanlan looking at him with burning eyes, and smiled at him, Lu Xiaoyao put the river lantern into the river.
When the last river lantern was released, Lu Xiaoyao looked up at Zhao Guanlan and said, "Xianggong, let's put this river lantern together." ”
The river lantern carries her wishes, and Lu Xiaoyao hopes that Zhao Guanlan can release the river lantern with her, because the wish is about her and him, and Lu Xiaoyao hopes that the wish can come true.
Zhao Guanlan looked at Lu Xiaoyao, the expectation in her eyes did not talk about his eyes, Zhao Guanlan nodded, came to Lu Xiaoyao's side, squatted down with her, stretched out his hand to wrap Lu Xiaoyao's hand, and the two put the river lantern in the water together.
The wind direction is very good tonight, and when the river lantern is put on the water, it has already floated and floated forward, as if there is a momentum like a bamboo.
Seeing such a scene, Zhao Guanlan stretched out his hand and rubbed Lu Xiaoyao's head, and said with a smile, "It will definitely be realized." ”
This is the first time Lu Xiaoyao has put the river lantern, and before he can calm down, Zhao Guanlan's voice has already sounded.
Lu Xiaoyao turned his head, and when he saw Zhao Guanlan's spoiled face, his heart couldn't help but warm, "Well, it will definitely be realized!" ”
Coming down from the mountain, the city is still lively, and the river lanterns, lanterns, and charades are still continuing.
Lu Xiaoyao slept all afternoon, and at this time he was in good spirits, so he followed Zhao Guanlan to guess for a while, anagrams, and was tired of playing, and then went home.
The house was quiet, the second aunt had already fallen asleep, Zhao Cong and Zhao Lan were probably tired of playing, Lu Xiaoyao went to see them, and then went back to sleep with peace of mind.
Following
After playing for a day with peace of mind, he is about to return to busyness, and Zhao Guanlan has already gotten up before dawn.
Now the pork needed is sent by the butcher uncle, and the prey is sent by the hunters from time to time, but the sausage filling needs too much pig intestine, and the small intestine of the two pigs sent by the butcher uncle is not enough, and Zhao Guanlan needs to buy the rest himself.
Originally, the pig intestine could not be sold by the butcher in the past, but since Zhao Guanlan used it to fill sausages, the price has risen and risen, no way, as long as Zhao Guanlan wants it, and only they have it, then there is only the price of sitting on the ground, Zhao Guanlan did not say anything about this, as long as the price is acceptable, he bought it together, but today he came to the market, but there was an accident.
"Brother Zhao, I'm sorry, our pork and small intestines have been wanted, and in the past half a month, I'm afraid I can't meet your needs."
Hearing such news, Zhao Guanlan was shocked for a moment, and when he raised his eyes to ask others, he also got such a reply.
Zhao Guanlan faintly felt that something was wrong.
There are many markets in the county, and Zhao Guanlan didn't stay too much here, he went directly to other markets, and ran all over the market one after another, and he didn't buy pig intestines.
At this time, Zhao Guanlan was a little anxious, and hurriedly walked home.
Uncle Butcher came to deliver the meat late today, and Lu Xiaoyao heard his voice when he finished breakfast.
"Brother Dawu, tiger girl, you are not here, come out."
In the past, the butcher uncle would leave when he sent meat, but today when he sent meat, he shouted, and when he heard that he was looking for himself, Lu Xiaoyao put down the bowl in his hand and walked out of the kitchen.
"Tiger girl." As soon as he went out, the butcher uncle came over.
"Tell you something bad." The butcher's uncle looked embarrassed, and Lu Xiaoyao looked at his expression, and his intuition rose with a bad premonition.
"Uncle, you say." Lu Xiaoyao opened his mouth, and the butcher uncle was just about to speak, when Zhao Guanlan came in from outside, and said with a dark face.
"Can't you buy a pig?"
Zhao Guanlan heard the bad things that the butcher said, combined with the fact that he returned empty-handed early this morning, so he thought of this.
Hearing Zhao Guanlan's words, Lu Xiaoyao and the butcher's uncle looked at each other, and the butcher said in surprise, "How do you know?" ”
The butcher and his son, one went to buy it, and the other killed it at home, but since yesterday, his son went to buy pigs and was told that all the pigs in the neighborhood had been sold.
If there is no pig harvest, it means that there is no business, and the butcher uncle is also angry, but if he wants to buy pigs, he has to go farther away, come and go, and he can't send meat to Zhao Guanlan at the specified time.
He looked for Zhao Guanlan and Lu Xiaoyao to come out, just to see if he could think of other ways, or extend the delivery time, he didn't expect that Zhao Guanlan would know that there were no pigs in this vicinity.
Zhao Guanlan did not answer the butcher's words, but asked, "Can you buy them in our town?" ”
The town is the territory of the butcher's uncle, and the seven aunts and eight aunts are all over there, so they will definitely be able to buy it, but the time to go back and forth will be longer.
Uncle Butcher nodded, and without waiting for him to speak, Zhao Guanlan continued, "Go to the town to collect pigs, send goods once every two days, and each pig will rise by one or two silver." ”
As soon as the solution came out, the butcher uncle was happy, these days, who doesn't want to earn money, going to the town is a little troublesome every day, but a pig rises by one or two silver, then these are not problems.
The butcher uncle nodded happily, and Zhao Guanlan continued, "When you collect the pigs, give me all the pigs' intestines in the town, and come back to settle the bill with the pork." ”
Zhao Guanlan's words fell, and the butcher uncle raised his eyes and glanced at him, "Can't buy pig intestines?" Brother Dawu, is someone targeting you? ”
Uncle Butcher sensed that something was wrong, and Lu Xiaoyao and Zhao Guanlan naturally knew that someone was starting to suppress them.
But just the despicable means of making them unable to buy raw materials in the county town stump them? How can it be!
