Since the price of pigs in the city has risen, the price of pigs selling meat in the village has also increased. As soon as the woman in this village heard that the price of a pair of pigs had risen by ten wen and asked for twenty-five wen a set, she was anxious and reasoned with the butcher.

The butcher was not annoyed, but only said, "Now that the pig is in the water, it will be at this price." The Xuanyuan Building in the city is at this price to collect pigs into the water, and how much you want. He was too lazy to go into the city for a pair of pigs.

The woman couldn't do it, so she had to buy it with a curse.

At lunchtime, the woman habitually complained to the man that the price of the pig had risen. The man was just about to go into the city to sell dendrobium, so he casually inquired with the guy at the pharmacy when he entered the city, and immediately learned the news of the "Sauce Burst Pig Zhen" in Xuanyuan Building.

More than one family in the village went to the city to sell dendrobium, so within a few days, all the people in the village knew the reason for the price increase of pigs in the water - Xuanyuan Lou sold "sauce and pig zhen" too hot.

However, the people in the village have heard this news. After all, the price increase of pigs is also limited, and the people in the village have a big income from dendrobium, and every family has a lot of money leftover, so the impact of this news and the villagers is just a complaint when buying pigs into the water. If you should eat, you should continue to eat.

What really caused a stir was the arrival of Liu Zhuangtou. Liu Zhuang of Lao Beizhuang has had a hard time these days.

Since Liu Zhuangtou knew that Zhuangzi had changed hands, he was restless day and night, and his heart was burning. As a result, for six or seven days, the new owner was stunned and did not show up.

Liu Zhuangtou was confused, so he immediately thought crookedly: Could it be that the new owner of the village is waiting for us to take the initiative to come to meet at home.

Come to think of it, it has always been the servants who visit the master's house, and I have never heard of the lord's family coming to see the servants.

The more Liu Zhuangtou thought about it, the more reasonable he felt, so he immediately picked two baskets of fruits, caught two chickens, made four gifts, and visited Mu Luozhi with his two brothers in the village.

Liu Zhuangtou only knew that Mu Luozhi lived in Mujia Village, but he didn't know the specific address, so he could only inquire with people.

Coincidentally, the passer-by Liu Zhuangtou inquired about was Mu Shi'an.

Mu Shi'an came out of the house with a basket on his back, and was about to go to the woodland to pick some fruit, when his daughter-in-law had it and wanted to eat something sour.

As soon as Mu Shi'an heard that he asked Mu Luozhi, he immediately smiled: "You asked my niece?"

"That's my uncle's niece, I'll take you there."

When Liu Zhuang heard this, he was naturally willing. Walking all the way, Liu Zhuangtou quietly asked Mu Shi'an about his uncle Mu Guihe. Luozhi is a girl, she can't ask directly with white teeth, she has to inquire in a roundabout way, it is related to the girl's reputation, and the market is like this in this world.

"What," Liu Zhuangtou asked, "your uncle doesn't live with you in the village center?"

Mu Shi'an was a straight gut, and immediately said: "When my grandfather split up, he separated my uncle from the village."

"The third uncle's family is with my family."

After walking a long way, seeing that he hadn't arrived yet, Liu Zhuangtou continued to probe: "Your uncle lives quite far away from you!"

"Not really," Mu Shi'an agreed, "my uncle's house is in the westernmost part of the village, and it is most of the village away from us."

"I saw him the last time I helped him rake, and I haven't seen him in the past two days."

Thinking about it, Mu Shi'an said again: "I guess, I'm busy at home!"

Finally cut to the point, Liu Zhuangtou held his breath and asked, "Does your uncle have a lot of work in his family?"

This question is a bit harder. Mu Shi'an scratched his head and hesitated: "Actually, there wasn't much land in the uncle's house before."

"Just two acres of paddy fields, two acres of dry fields, a total of four acres of land."

"And then there's a hill"

"I just bought wasteland and woodland a few days ago, and it didn't make much money. However, recently my uncle's family has been better, and I have made money by buying dendrobium."

"By the way, this dendrobium can be sold for money, and it was the first one discovered by my uncle's family."

"Our village is all stained with light."

Liu Zhuangtou listened to Mu Shi'an's words, and couldn't help thinking: How to listen, this family is an ordinary farmer, the only difference is this dendrobium.

What is this dendrobium?

The Lin family has big rules, and the servants are not allowed to leave the village without reason. Liu Zhuangtou is the head of the village, although he is relatively free, but he also goes back and forth between the main house of Zhuangzi and the Lin family, and he does not dare to run around casually. Therefore, although Lao Beizhuang is only five miles away from Mujia Village, he doesn't know about Dendrobium at all.

The more Mu Shi'an spoke, the more excited he became: "Also, I'll tell you."

"The "Sauce Explosive Pig Zhen" sold in Xuanyuan Building in the city is actually what my niece would have made a long time ago. ”

"Two days ago, I went to help, and I heard from my little cousin that he had eaten this dish in the morning and month!"

Hearing "Xuanyuan Building", Liu Zhuangtou was slightly stunned: he knew that Xuanyuan Building was also the Lin family's property. But he couldn't contact the relationship between the vegetables sold in Xuanyuanlou and the dishes cooked by this person's niece.

Liu Zhuangtou didn't think that the eldest young master of the Lin family gave Mu Luozhi Zhuangzi because of a dish.

After Mu Shi'an was proud, he saw that Liu Zhuangtou didn't speak, and finally something was wrong. So he asked, "By the way, I haven't consulted the three yet, where did this come from?" What are you looking for my uncle? ”

Facing the nephew of the new master, Liu Zhuangtou did not dare to slack off. At the moment, he politely bowed his hand and said, "Let's fight Lao Beizhuang."

"I came to visit your uncle and niece"

As he spoke, Liu Zhuangtou paid attention to Mu Shi'an's expression, and when he saw that he was at a loss, he knew that he didn't know, and he didn't say anything more at the moment.

Mu Shi'an really didn't know Lao Beizhuang. He only knew that the few Zhuangzi near the village were the property of the landlords in the city, but he did not know the specific details. And there is no contact, so although these Zhuangzi actually exist, to him, or the vast majority of Mujia Village, is almost invisible to most people.

Mu Shi'an thought that Laobeizhuang was the same as their Mujia Village, and it was also a village. I didn't care about it at the moment, but smiled: "That's far enough."

"I've never heard of it."

Liu Zhuangtou ......

Liu Ermao......

Liu Sanmao......

Walking to Luozhi's house, Mu Shi'an patted the courtyard door: "Uncle, are you at home?"

The old man was making the dendrobium in the back room, and when he heard the sound, he opened the door, and when he saw that it was Mu Shi'an, he smiled and said, "Is it Shi'an?"

"Uncle," Mu Shi'an motioned to the old man to look behind him: "Someone is looking for you, I brought it over."

Old Man Mu looked at the three people in Liu Zhuang, and his eyes were puzzled: "May I ask who the three are?"

When Liu Zhuang's first three people saw the main master, they hurriedly saluted: "The villain Liu Damao/Liu Ermao/Liu Sanmao has seen the old lady."

"The villain is from Lao Beizhuang, and he has come to greet the old lady."

Old man Mu......

Mu Sai On......

After a long time, Shi Anfang asked: "Uncle, why do they call you old lady?"

"When did you become an old lady?"

Mu Shi'an's words woke up Old Man Mu, and he pushed open the door: "Come in and talk."

The old lady shook Mu Shi'an too much, he walked through the courtyard and into the hall, but he didn't find that the courtyard was piled up with building materials.

On the contrary, Liu Zhuang's head was calm, and when he crossed the yard, he saw the pile of house materials in the yard, and it seemed that the old lady's family was busy building a house and did not go to Zhuangzi.

In the hall, Old Man Mu took the lead in taking a seat on the main seat, and then invited Liu Zhuangtou and the three people to sit down - Old Man Mu really couldn't learn the scene he had seen before, sitting alone and the others standing.

Liu Zhuangtou and the three didn't dare to sit on the remaining chairs in the hall, and after confessing, they were only willing to sit on the bench on the side. The heart said, "This new old lady is kind, and let them sit."

Luo Zhi heard the movement outside, and leaned on the back door of the hall to look inside, saying that her father's posture looked like a thing.

Mu Shi'an was stunned by his uncle's grandeur, and he stood with his mouth half open, completely oblivious to the fact that he was going to pick the fruit.

After Old Man Mu sat down, he didn't know what to say, but Liu Zhuangtou was the master who didn't dare to say much without asking. So there was silence in the room.

Luo Zhi saw that it was not a problem, so he poured five bowls of water and brought them into the hall.

"Grandpa, you drink water." Luozhi put a bowl of water in front of the old man and reminded in a low voice: "As usual, the autumn harvest will be delivered."

In the second bowl of water, Mu Luozhi gave Mu Shi'an, who was standing stupidly: "Uncle Shi'an, you drink water."

The remaining three bowls, Luo Zhi gave Liu Zhuangtou and the three people.

As soon as Liu Zhuangtou heard Luozhi called Grandpa, he immediately knew Luozhi's identity, which was the main son of Zhuangzi. Seeing this, he quickly stood up and thanked, "Miss, let it go."

"I don't have to fold the villain."

Take a closer look at Luozhi, who is still a little doll with a total horn, and I am extremely surprised at the moment.

Luo Zhi saw that Liu Zhuang's first three prime-aged men were low-minded with him because of their identity limitations, and he felt quite uncomfortable and very weird. But knowing that the world is like this, he does not force it. He just put the water on the square bench next to him and walked away.

With Luozhi so interrupted, the old man finally figured out his own rhetoric.

"Ahem," the old man cleared his throat nervously before speaking, and Fang said, "You guys have also seen it." Our family is now building a house at home, and we can't leave. ”

"You should first follow the previous regulations."

"When the autumn harvest comes, just remember to bring the grain to our family."

"Of course, after building a house, we will go over and have a look."

Liu Zhuangtou didn't expect Old Man Mu to be so easy to speak, he didn't need them to plead, everything was as it was, and he didn't mention the matter of rising interest at all. Apparently he is a trouble-free master. I couldn't help but show a little joy.

"Everything is up to the old lady and the young lady to decide." After Liu Zhuangtou thanked the old man, Fang said: "When the villain came, he brought some Zhuangzi to produce, and asked the old lady and the young lady to accept it."

Liu Zhuang didn't dare to pull down the young lady Luozhi in the first sentence, although it was the old man Mu who was in charge, but the person who pinched the fate of their Zhuangzi people was Luozhi.

As he spoke, Liu Zhuangtou presented two chickens and two baskets of fruits to the old man.

The old man looked at the chicken and fruit, which were all loved by the children, but they were not available at home, so he was very happy and said with a smile: "There are still chickens in this village."

"First of all, I thought that I would have to catch more chickens in the spring of next year, raise them and lay more eggs, so that the children will have chickens to eat during the New Year."

Liu Zhuangtou ......

Luo Zhi behind the door also covered her face when she heard it – her grandfather was really so down-to-earth.

Reacting, Liu Zhuangtou hurriedly said: "Master, Zhuangzi can be handed over at the end of the year, sixty-five chickens and seventy ducks."

"In addition, there are fifteen pigs and fifteen sheep."

Old man Mu......

Liu Zhuangtou saw that Old Man Mu was shocked, so he immediately took out the account books sent to the main house of the Lin family over the years from his arms, and handed them to Old Man Mu: "Old lady, this is the Zhuangzi interest handed over by the villains last autumn and winter and this summer. Please take a look at it with the young lady. ”

The old man didn't know a few big characters, so he gave it to Mu Shi'an, only to know that in addition to the grain of the two seasons a year, this Zhuangzi also had to send chickens, ducks, eggs, duck eggs, pigs, sheep, vegetables, fish and coarse cloth to the owner.

Basically, with this Zhuangzi, the Luozhi family can do nothing and eat and drink every day.
