Chapter Sixty-Six: Every Step Is Calculated

Looking at the backs of Yu Sanguang and his wife, Yu Daguang and Yu Xiaoguang leaving, Lan Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, it was not noon when the two of them came, if she saw Old Man Miao eating and drinking in the third room, she would definitely complain to the Zhang family.

Lan Ya didn't go to the old mansion because only she could deal with the flamboyant old man Miao.

Old man Miao looked at the fried locusts and pupae on the table calmly, as well as a stewed snake soup, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he smacked his mouth and made a sound, smacking and admiring.

People's willpower is really trained, and even Lan Ya said in front of Old Man Miao that he could eat the corpse crawling with maggots.

After eating and drinking, the old man looked at Lan Ya and said with a smile: "Atay's kid is not wronged at all when he loses to you, and I am really reluctant to leave you." I'm going to L.A., and I'll be back in 10 days at least and in a month at most. I've been walking for so long, so I can't stop practicing. With me covering you, those boys on the mountain can't come up to you to disturb you, I'll go, it is estimated that you will have ten ducks a day before you open the door, and you will be tired to death. ”

Lan Ya looked angry, this is my customers, okay? Can't stand in my way to getting rich? Fortunately, the old man was about to leave.

On his face, he reluctantly said: "Master Miao, I still have a lot of good dishes that I haven't served, like 'Butterfly Love Flower' and 'Dragon and Tiger Fight', I haven't shown it, and when you come back, I'll make it for you to eat." ”

Sent away the old man Miao, Yu Sanguang and his wife came back from the old house with heavy faces, and under the pressure of Lan Ya, they learned that Yu Daguang saw someone in the village cutting a lot of fruit wood and firewood, and after inquiring, he found out that Yu Sanguang was collecting fruit trees and dead wood everywhere, and he gave six yuan a load, which was twice as expensive as ordinary dead wood.

After all, Yu Xiaoguang is always in the town, and suddenly he came to Lingguang, and said to Zhang, he will collect wood and earn two cents from it, and he can earn fifty or sixty cents a day, which is equivalent to ten catties of miscellaneous noodles.

Hai Shi thought about the dozens of taels of silver in his hand, and felt a little guilty about Lan Yue, so he agreed, who knew that Yu Daguang and Yu Xiaoguang were cowardly, and they didn't dare to send firewood to Yu Sanguang's house in groups like the villagers who sent firewood before, and only proposed to send firewood to the foot of the mountain, and Yu Sanguang went to the foot of the mountain to get firewood by himself.

When he went up the mountain, Yu Xiaoguang saw the roast duck, and he didn't eat the duck with sour words, and Yu Sanguang finally couldn't bear the sour words and promised to send a roast duck to the old house the next day.

Hai's anger was so angry, Yu Sanguang was also sullen, Zhang's was too eccentric, Yu Sanguang and Yu Xiaoguang were dangerous to go up the mountain, wouldn't it be more dangerous for him to go down the mountain and go up the mountain again?

Lan Ya smiled and said to Hai's: "Mother, this thing is easy to do, our family has a lot of firewood, first use the firewood, my father stubbornly did not go down the mountain to collect, my uncle and uncle have to pay in advance to collect firewood, which can see how much private money my uncle and my uncle have." Slowly, my milk can also be reversed, and the old house has to be noisy again, and at that time, the matter will be over, and the villagers will be able to send firewood again. ”

Seeing that Hai Shi figured out the joints and turned his anger into laughter, Lan Ya's face flashed with worry: "Mother, what I'm worried about is another thing, today my uncle and uncle went up the mountain to see our family making roast duck, and now they only bite into the matter of eating cheap roast duck and selling firewood to make the difference. I didn't want to sell this recipe, I wanted to keep it for my sister, and whoever she married to has a craft, and my mother-in-law didn't dare to treat her badly. ”

Lan Xiang was stunned when she heard it, no wonder Lan Ya only taught herself the whole process of roasting duck, and even Hai didn't know the skill of blowing the duck in advance. His eyes were red and he said: "Bud, you can't give it to me, give it to me, how can we still make a living in the old Yu family?" ”

Lan Ya smiled: "Sister, your sister is Huang Xiangu's fairy, how can she be so capable?" Besides, who is our sister with whom, can you still let me and my father and mother have dinner when you are rich? Sister, I only tell you about this recipe, people's hearts are unpredictable, and no one can fully trust them, including the future husband, who must keep a hand. ”

Hai sighed, nervously took Lan Ya's hand and said, "Ya'er, I don't object to your sister, but we have to keep it!" We haven't separated yet, wouldn't it be unfilial if we don't give your milk to you? ”

Lan Ya said with a smile: "That's it, mother, after Lan Yue gets married, I will go to the town to find an honest and reliable merchant to cooperate, and the contract stipulates that the Fang Zi is jointly owned by my sister and the other party, and no one is allowed to leak the Fang Zi without authorization, otherwise the compensation will be investigated, if my grandmother does not agree, she will use the government to suppress her and let her compensate a huge amount of compensation." ”

Yu Sanguang couldn't help frowning again, Hai's eyes widened, and Yu Sanguang was speechless.

Lan Ya saw Sanguang's awkwardness, and said solemnly: "Dad, this is a clause to scare my milk, so that she can't afford to have those thoughts that she shouldn't have." You don't have to feel guilty, my grandmother is also an elder, and after the family is divided, you can be filial if you want to be filial, and I don't care about you for my milk to eat and wear. But the premise is that after the family is separated peacefully, I am afraid that my sister's incident will happen again, and my grandmother will sacrifice her granddaughter for a tiger skin. ”

Yu Sanguang nodded guiltily, the girls all said that in this matter, he can still save which is more important.

The next day, as soon as the day dawned, Lan Ya and Yu Sanguang went to Huiliutang, caught a dozen ducks for a long time, boiled water and plucked duck feathers, Lan Ya asked Lan Duo to wash the duck down and put it on a big bag to dry, and directly picked up a roast duck and hung it on the oven.

Lan Xiang snatched the duck from Lan Ya's hand and said: "How can you be careless, didn't you say that blowing the duck is very important, the skin and meat are not greasy, crispy and delicious, why did you forget it." ”

Lan Ya grinned, picked up the duck and hung it up again, and said, "This is for our milk, if it's too delicious, I'm afraid she will think about our recipe." To bake it to the same level as it is sold in the town, just bake it at half your level. ”

Yu Sanguang went to the stream to fetch water, but he didn't see the small movements of the two little sisters. When I finished the work at hand and looked at the condition of the duck, it should be almost good, and I was ready to carry the duck down the mountain.

Lan Ya stopped at Sanguang Dao: "Dad, you wait a while." I'll find you a garment to wear. ”

Yu Sanguang's face turned red, last night, the family's new clothes have been done under the rush of Lan Xiang and Hai's work, and they have tried it, not big or small, it fits, although the material is still burlap, but it is brand new, and it is still hung by Lan Ya with a bamboo pole, and there are no folds at all.

When he saw the clothes that Lan Ya took out, Yu Sanguang was dumbfounded, only to see that Lan Ya was holding the torn patch clothes he was besieging by the mustache dog on the mountain, and the sleeves were scratched by the mustache dog, and he couldn't sew it if he wanted to, and he never wore it since that time, and today I don't know what Lan Ya took out this piece for.

Hai Shi understood what Lan Ya meant, and he didn't dare to laugh when he hid his mouth, and pretended to be solemn and said: "You look down, I see that your mother is embarrassed to let you risk your life to go up the mountain to catch ducks and eat them." ”

When Sanguang came back from the old house, he didn't know how many sour words he experienced, but he didn't mention the duck again.

The next day, on the day of Lanyue's marriage and marriage to Cheng Lanzi, almost all the men, women and children in the whole village came to eat the banquet noodles, because Cheng Saburo beat a wild boar on the first day, and the two families were half a head, and the Yu family's banquet was full of materials, plus there was a Jiang family who could cook, and the Hai family and a few good mothers-in-law were busy preparing the banquet.

Yu Xiaoguang led the strong guys from Yujia Village to drive three big ox carts to pick up the new daughter-in-law, and the family was waiting for Cheng Saburo to pick up Lan Yue through the door.

The bride sits on the kang and can't go down to the ground, and the people who need to add makeup go to the house, and put the makeup in the basket in front of the bride.

The old man of the Hai family felt sorry for Lan Yue, and added a brown cloth on the basis of the original coarse blue cloth, which was just enough for Cheng Saburo and Lan Yue to have one piece of clothing per person.

Hai's was busy cooking, Lan Xiang helped serve the pots and bowls, and the "arduous" task of adding makeup fell to Lan Ya.

Lan Ya swept Lan Yue, who was sitting cross-legged on the kang, only to see that her face was wiped as if she was sprinkled, her lips seemed to be stained with blood, and her hair seemed to be combed with oil.

Raising his eyes and seeing the two pieces of burlap that Lan Ya put in the basket, he first raised his eyebrows in disdain, and then pursed his lips with disdain, as if he unintentionally straightened the soft silk red wedding dress on his body and said: "This soft silk fine cotton is used to wearing, and the coarse linen clothes will grind the skin; You can eat fine rice noodles, and you can eat coarse grain noodles. ”

Looking at the girl who was like a proud peacock, Lan Ya sighed lightly, didn't reply, just walked quietly to the door, her footsteps stopped for a moment, and said abruptly: "Lan Yue, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, come to me, we always have the surname Yu." ”

Lan Yue raised her eyebrows unhappily, and shouted in a loud voice: "Mother, you will be driven out of Lanya, and I will say those bad things on the big day of my marriage." ”

Lan Ya shook her head speechlessly, and without waiting for He Shi to catch up with her, she walked away with heavy steps.

Whether it's good or bad, it seems that only fate can be left to chance. No matter how much I want to resist, I can't change my parents' idea that their lives are greater than heaven. Success will be rescued from Lanxiang, it is already his limit, Yu Lanyue, he is really powerless.

After a blow and blow, Cheng Saburo actually hired a red-roofed sedan chair, which was carried by a few stout men and welcomed the shy Yu Lanyue out of the door.

The faces of the men were full of joy, in order to show that they had inexhaustible strength, they shook the sedan chair vigorously, if the ground shook the mountains, the sky was dark, until the bride was in the sedan chair, was turned upside down by screaming, became delicate and panting, the men seemed to have received the greatest reward, and the laughter of Shuang Lang shook the whole valley.

Lan Ya secretly followed behind, until she saw the shadow of Quanshui Village in the distance, and then she reluctantly slowed down and walked back absentmindedly.

Walking in the mountains and forests in a disorderly manner, after a while, I seemed to get lost, followed a relatively easy walking path, and walked to the top of the mountain in front of a glorious temple, and climbed the steps, it was the Tiger Leap Temple where pilgrims gathered.
