After receiving the title deed, Ruan Dalang was still a little incredulous, and said half-loudly: "This ...... Is this shop really ours? Speaking of which, his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are indeed getting more and more powerful.

I went to the county before, participated in the knowledge contest, and took home a lot of food and some silver. Later, I went to the capital and got back 50 acres of land and three new seeds.

Now, I just went to Chenjia Village, and when I came back, I had more than ten catties of longevity fruit seeds in my hand, plus a small shop in the city. Oh my God, if that's the case, I'll just go out every day.

Hearing this, Li said: "Naturally, it's true, otherwise where would the title deed come from." This is real money. Besides, didn't you see this bright red seal, this is covered by the county government. ”

Hearing this, Ruan Dalang thought of the point, and said: "The things in this city are all precious, not to mention the shops." By the way, although this shop is small, I'm afraid it's not cheap, where did you and Yuping get the silver? ”

This was a big question in his mind.

The Li family planned to conceal the fact that the yamen had rewarded the silver to the end, and no one dared to go to the yamen to question those yamen anyway.

After thinking about it, he said: "Why don't you take the new seeds of our Yuping rewarded by the emperor and go to Chenjia Village to find Ye Feng in exchange for twenty catties of immortal fruit." Thinking that this year was the first time we planted, we sold five catties for seventy taels of silver. With the leftovers from before, I bought the shop. Hey, we don't have a penny in our hands now. During this time, it is necessary to save a little. ”

Hearing this, Ruan Dalang's expression completely relaxed, and he was afraid that this shop would come from the wrong way. He also instructed the Li family to collect the title deed, and then said: "What is this shop bought for?" If we want to say that our family doesn't have a craft, if we sell vegetables, we don't plant much this year, and we can't eat enough by ourselves. ”

Li said confidently: "This, Yuping and I have already thought about it." Doesn't my mother know how to make hand-rolled noodles, you will say that it is delicious when you eat it back. So, I want to take my mother to live in the shop and teach me and Yuping to make hand-rolled noodles. At the same time, we sell some snacks, such as porridge, omelette, egg cakes and so on, which I think will make a profit. ”

When Ruan Dalang heard this, he immediately thought it was a good idea.

First, the hand-rolled noodles made by his mother-in-law are really a must, the noodles are glutenous, the ingredients are also good, and I want to eat a bowl of it, even in the Li Jiahe generation is also very famous. Therefore, everyone in the village who does that red and white wedding will show her hand.

The second is that his mother-in-law's family is really mixed, although several children have been separated, but because of her strong mouth, none of the daughters-in-law like her. It's just that she's an idle person.

Now it's okay, I have something to do, I have money to earn, and I can help my daughter's family, I think I am very willing.

"It's just that the shop doesn't seem to be big, and if you sell noodles, isn't it bad to live in the shop?" Ruan Dalang's IQ is online at the moment, and he quickly thought of this very practical problem. The problem of accommodation must be solved, otherwise it will be a big constraint.

Li replied: "How else to say that this girl Yuping is smart!" It's small, but it's tall. Yuping, the girl, thought of building another floor, so she used it as a place to live. Before we returned, we had already found a craftsman to start construction, and said that it would be completed in ten days. ”

Ruan Dalang listened to it, and he also admired Ruan Yuping's ghost idea very much.

After thinking about it, he sighed: "Someone told me before that this girl went to the Guanyin Temple to offer incense when she was a child, but she saw a halo on her head, and I just didn't believe it." Now that I see it, I really have the enlightenment of the Bodhisattva. ”

"Ah, and why have you never told me about this?"

"Didn't I think it was credible, so I didn't take it seriously. As soon as you say it today, I remember what happened many years ago......"

"Then tell me, I have to hear about it."

……

In this way, the husband and wife talked about everything from Ruan Yuping's childhood to the shop, and from the shop to the business, and they talked for most of the night before falling asleep.

Ruan Yuping was naturally thinking about doing business in bed, but she was thinking more and more specifically, not like the Li couple was messing around.

On the second day, Ruan Dalang went down early after breakfast to turn over the ground. Li said last night that these fifteen catties of seeds are enough to plant one acre of land at most, let him estimate that the sooner the better.

In fact, Ruan Dalang had already turned over this piece of land when he was idle, but Li said that this year was the first time to plant, and it was better to be fine, so he honestly carried the hoe and went to the field.

The Li family was boiling water in the house with Ruan Yuzhu, the second eldest of the Ruan family. Ruan Yuzhu complained a little about Ruan Dalang and the Li family because of the previous incident, and seemed to be frightened, so she didn't like to talk recently.

But today's events are very strange, because Lee said that the boiling water was to be filled in buckets and watered in the ground. She's eleven years old, and she's never seen anyone do that.

Ruan Yuzhu said: "Mother, you should have made a mistake, right?" This is boiling water, it's very hot, what is it used to water the ground? ”

Li said: "I want it to be scalded, so that the insects in the ground can be scalded to death." ”

Seeing that Ruan Yuzhu still didn't understand, Li didn't want to explain more, so he said while scooping water into the bucket with a scoop: "My mother will go to the field in a while, you and your sister and younger brothers and sisters will take care of the family." ”

She was afraid that the Gong family would come to the door to ask for seeds. Everyone else is someone else's house, and no one else will avoid suspicion. However, she is better to choose this kind of time.

Although it has been all peeled, if she doesn't plant the ground for a day, she is not at all steady.

What is it when it is peeled? If Gong wants to, he dares to come.

If you want to say that she has been a concubine for many years, the Li family still knows the Gong family very well. It's just that the reason why the Gong family is still not in the future is not because she doesn't want it, but because she feels that the Li family will definitely tell the second elder of the Ruan family about this.

When the time comes, take the opportunity to ask for it, and that is the best time.

Li went to the field, and saw that Ruan Dalang had already pulled out the newly grown young grass in the field and cultivated it carefully, so Li put down the burden, picked up the scoop and sprinkled boiling water into the field.

Fortunately, the house is close to here, and the water is still very hot. As soon as the scoop was poured down, a puff of white smoke immediately rose from the ground.

After a day of hard work, the fireworks in the kitchen of the Li family were almost uninterrupted. Fortunately, they have a single family here, otherwise, those who talk a lot will definitely say that they are developed and don't know what to eat at home.

Ruan Dalang was even more anxious, and took advantage of the cool evening to pick up dung and water the acre of land.

A few days later, Ruan Yuping and Li went into the city to see the construction of the shop, said some new requirements, and bought some food to come back, and then began to plant peanuts.

As soon as they finished planting peanuts and were resting at home, Gong couldn't sit still and went to the door with two eggs. Originally, she had wanted to come for a long time, but unfortunately her mother was sick, so she had to go back to take care of her for a few days.

Unbeknownst to him, it was in these few days that the Li family successfully planted peanuts in the ground. Now, no matter how powerful she is, there is no reason to pull out the seeds.

The peasants cherish the crops the most, and if she dares to do so, the Li family will not have to do anything at all, and she will be drowned by the saliva of the villagers.

When Li saw Gong coming, she smiled secretly in her heart, and said in her heart that she had miscalculated this time. She couldn't wait to see Gong's deflated appearance. In the past, she has succeeded almost every time.

It's just that Li still pretended to be enthusiastic and beckoned Gong to sit down, and then said, "Brother and sister, why do you have time to come and sit." Come on in, it's hot outside. Yuping, pour a cup of tea for your second aunt. ”

Because she felt that the Gong family had no advantage to take advantage of this time, Ruan Yuping also put away the disgusted look of the Gong family, and honestly poured water out.

Gong Shi drank tea, and then said: "Sister-in-law, how I am doing with your second brother, you have seen it." This Yuting is ten years old, and Yuyong is also nine years old, but there is no one in the family. So, do you think the seed of the immortal fruit can homogenize me a little? ”

Seeing that Li didn't speak, Gong hurriedly said, "It's just five catties, and I don't want much." You should do us a favor. When Yuting Yuyong grows up, I will definitely let them honor you like a mother. ”

After speaking, he wiped the tears that didn't exist in his eyes.

Five catties, she dares to open her mouth like this! and is not afraid to flash his tongue. According to the price of buying a shop before, it is a shop. If every family is not like this, how can it be better.

Why didn't He come?

After Gong finished speaking, Li said slowly: "Brother and sister, it's not that you and I don't help, but that this time doesn't wait for anyone." You were also present that day, and I also heard Ye Feng say, but now is a good time to plant longevity fruits. So, you said it was too late, and we've already planted it all. ”

"What, it's all planted? Why didn't you tell me? Gong screamed without even thinking about it. This damn family must have seen her absence before they started to act.

After thinking about it, he felt that this was wrong, so he said quietly: "Your second brother and I can also come to help." Now that it's hot, it's not good to keep your child warm. It seems that my sister-in-law still doesn't treat us as a family! ”

Hearing this, Li Shi was not angry, and said unhurriedly: "Brother and sister, you happened to be at your mother's house a few days ago, and I heard that your mother was sick, by the way, how is her old man's health?" ”

Only then did Gong say hatefully: "It's already good, it's out of the way." ”

Li didn't want to annoy Gong, or there was no need to quarrel with her at all. She's a person who wants to win in everything. And this time she also did it on purpose, in order to make Gong pounce.

After thinking about it, Li Shi said: "I have discussed with your eldest brother, if these longevity fruits grow well in the autumn and can be sold for a good price, then you and the third brother and sister's family will give twenty taels of silver." You can use it to build a house or buy land. ”

Li's words have all been said to this, and they are considered to be unearned, even if the Gong family is unhappy, there is no way. Thinking of this, he got up with the egg and was about to leave.

Ruan Yuping saw the egg, so she deliberately said, "Second aunt, did you use this egg to supplement my body?" Hey, thank you. Not long after I came back from the capital, I was bumpy along the way, my body was very weak, and I really wanted to eat eggs. ”

Gong Shi heard this, and hurriedly said: "This egg, I'm going to take it back to my mother's house." You know, my mother is sick. The implication is that no matter how weak Ruan Yuping is, she can't grab eggs with an old woman to eat.

Gong took three steps and made two steps to go home. Although I didn't get the seeds, I got the promise, and I got twenty taels of silver in the autumn, which can be regarded as a lot of gains.

"Mother, the second aunt didn't do anything, why did you promise to give her twenty taels of silver?" Ruan Yuzhu walked out and said angrily.

You must know that Ruan Dalang and the Li family wanted to sell her for eight taels of silver. Now he promised to give the lazy Gong twenty taels of silver. She couldn't figure out which was more important.

"Zhu'er, come, come to my mother." Li Shi beckoned to Ruan Yuzhu and said.

It's been a long time since Li has spoken to Ruan Yuzhu so gently, and he is usually busy with this and that. When Ruan Yuzhu heard this, tears fell, but she stubbornly stood there and refused to move.

Seeing this, Li said: "Your two younger brothers and two younger sisters are not sensible, and now you and your eldest sister know about things in this family." Before, it was indeed my father and mother. It's just that if you don't sell it, none of your younger brothers and sisters will survive. Your eldest sister has reached the age of kissing again, and if you sell her, you may be sold to those dirty places......"

Speaking of this, Li also began to cry.

"What about me, aren't you afraid that I will be sold too?"

It was a scary time to think about.

"Fortunately, with the blessing of the Bodhisattva, your eldest sister won the prize in the competition, won the silver and the rice, and now has the land. Recently, I bought a shop. The shop had your name written on it, and it was your eldest sister who insisted on doing it. ”

"After a while, we'll go and pick up your grandmother, and we'll move to the shop to sell noodles. Mother believes that our days will get better and better. ”

When Ruan Yuzhu heard that the name of the shop was actually hers, she immediately understood that in fact, Li and Ruan Yuping didn't love her, but they were forced by the situation. It's no wonder that Lee doesn't answer her questions head-on.

It's really that the palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are full of meat, and I can't answer.

In fact, she also knew in her heart that if it really came to that point, she would rather sell herself than Ruan Yuping. It's just that Li and Ruan Dalang chose her first, and she always couldn't get over this hurdle in her heart.

Now it seems that he is stupid.

Moreover, over the years, she has never cried when she came to the Li family, whether she was scolded or wronged, or even beaten by Ruan Dalang. Now for her, I cried.

Thinking of this, Ruan Yuzhu walked over and wiped away her tears for the Li family, and then said, "Mother, you and the eldest sister changed the name of the shop, I won't blame you." I...... Let's change it to my brother's name. ”

Hearing this, Ruan Yuping said: "Are you afraid that if you marry in the future, this shop will have nothing to do with us?" Don't worry, eldest sister is confident, we will buy another shop before you get married. And, that's what you deserve. As for the younger brothers, they are still young, so let's talk about it later. ”

Ruan Yuzhu is a child's heart in the end, and after listening to Ruan Yuping's words, she stepped forward to fight with her. When Li saw it, he turned his sadness into joy and smiled happily.

She doesn't want what Ruan Yuping said to be realized, she just wants to guard the fifty acres.

After another period of time, after the longevity fruit had sprouted, the Li family took Ruan Yuzhu and Ruan Yuping into the city. Anyway, Ye Feng said that this immortal fruit is best served, and there is no need to do anything extra at all.

And count the days, the shop should be renovated.

According to the agreement, it was time to pay the rest of the money.

The mother and daughter went straight to the vegetable market and walked a few steps to their shop.

I have to say that the craftsmanship of this You Lao Er is really good, at a glance, this second floor is built very well, if you don't say it, I don't know that this is built later. And he is meticulous in his workmanship, and he has already cleaned the store.

Looking at the clean floor and the whitewashed walls, Ruan Yuzhu was very happy and had already run down the stairs to the second floor. Ruan Yuping and Li are looking at some details.

When he saw that the worn-out wooden box containing the seasoning before was intimately covered by You Lao Er, Li immediately paid the silver happily. After taking the silver, You Lao Er left.

In this way, Li took his two daughters to a woodware shop not far away to retrieve the thirteen tables and two beds that he had booked. Thinking that although it was not far away, the strength of his mother and daughter was limited, so the Li family helped the shopkeeper to transport it over.

There are many small workers in this shop, and seeing that Ruan Yuping's sisters are so good-looking, and they look like unmarried women, they volunteered to help, and after a while, all the tables, chairs, benches and beds were moved and placed one by one.

Seeing this, Ruan Yuping said again: "Thank you for your help." We sell noodles, and when we open, please eat noodles. ”

When a few people heard this, their hearts were sweet, and they felt that this trip was not in vain. Anyway, if it's so close, there will be opportunities to talk to you in the future.

In this way, the mother and daughter put the pot on the stove, ignited the wood and began to boil water. When the water is hot, wipe the table, wipe the bed, wipe the bed, sweep the floor. By the afternoon, several people were very hungry.

It's just that looking at the bright store, several people are smiling very happily.

I went to the noodle shop to eat a bowl of noodles, and several people evaluated the advantages and disadvantages of this noodle shop in their hearts, and then went back to the shop to continue the layout. Ruan Yuping went to other places to buy things for bed.

Of the three, she is the best at bargaining, and she is simply the best at buying things.

This is busy until late at night.

But the results are also clear. In addition to bowls and pots and chopsticks, the rest are all available, just wait for Yuping's grandmother Zhou to come over and sit in town.

As soon as it got dark, Li closed the door of the shop, locked it, and then took his two daughters to the second floor, and sewed the cotton wool that Yuping bought back into the quilt cover with the newly bought oil lamp.

When the two quilts were sewn, Li had a bed by himself, and Yuzhu and Yuping were ready to sleep.

After sleeping for a while, Yuping said, "Mother, I can't sleep." ”

Yuzhu also said: "Mother, I can't sleep either." ”

Li Shi then said: "Okay, you two come over, let's talk first, maybe we will fall asleep while chatting." ”

In this way, the mother and daughter lay on a bed and began to chat.

chatting and chatting, sure enough, as Li said, the mother and daughter all fell asleep.

Because I was too tired, and because there were no glass windows, and for safety, the windows were nailed with wooden strips. So, they didn't have a chance to see the moon outside the window.

Because it was the fifteenth, the moon was amazingly bright that night.

And tonight's moon not only illuminates the road at night, but also illuminates the Ruan family's dream of entering the city to open a shop.

On the second day, the mother and daughter woke up almost at the same time. It's just that it's still a little dark outside the window. However, the clamor in the streets has already begun, accompanied by the aroma of the food.

Ruan Yuzhu said, "Mother, I'm hungry." ”

Li said: "Let's go, get up, wash your face and make you something to eat." ”

Ruan Yuping said, "Mother, let's go to the vegetable market first." It is said that the morning food is the freshest and cheapest, let's go see if it's true. ”

The mother and daughter quickly washed up, and then went out with the basket. After locking the shop, I went to the vegetable market. Indeed, there are so many vegetables here, especially those that the old farmers carry in their burdens, which look like they have just been plucked from the ground.

It's just that I usually grow my own vegetables, but now I need to buy them.

In the end, the group bought a handful of shallots, some green leafy vegetables, three eggs, and a small bag of white flour, and returned to the shop the same way.

"Mother, sister, those people are so loud that I can't hear you when I'm inside."

"Yes, fortunately, our shop is not here, otherwise, I would definitely not be able to sleep in the morning."

The noodles were made last night, and I bought this flour to take back and eat.

After washing his hands, Li quickly began to roll out the dough.

Ruan Yuping helped wash and chop the shallots and put them in a bowl. Wash the vegetables and set them aside to dry. Then, beat the eggs again and start frying them.

Suddenly, the house was filled with fragrance.

Ruan Yuzhu didn't rest, studied the spices, and finally found a bag of chili noodles.

The Ruan family loves spicy food, and before, they didn't know where the method came out to grind the chili peppers with a stone mill and splash them with boiling oil, which is a very delicious seasoning, and the Ruan family often prepared this.

It's just that due to the poverty of the family, there are more chili noodles and less oil every time.

"Mother, sister, look, I found a big bag of chili noodles. Otherwise, let's make chili oil. This is the best to use with noodles. She likes to scoop a spoonful of chili oil when she eats noodles, not to mention how beautiful it tastes.

Ruan Yuping fried the eggs and burned a large bowl of oil by the way. Wait until the oil is almost cold, then pour it into a bowl with chili noodles. Suddenly, the bowl sounded "zizi", and at the same time, a choking chili smell also followed.

When Li's noodles were almost ready, Ruan Yuping threw a few handfuls of green vegetables into it and boiled them.

Ruan Yuzhu took out three bowls, put a fried egg in each bowl, some chopped green onions, and scooped a spoonful of freshly made chili oil, waiting for the noodles to come out of the pot and eat.

Seeing that the heat was almost over, Li asked Ruan Yuping to extinguish the fire in the stove, and then took the chopsticks to put noodles into the bowl. I have to say that Li's amount is very accurate, three bowls of noodles, no more, no less, just enough to eat, and there will be no left.

When the leaves are put into the bowl, they feel very delicious before they are eaten. The green leaves, the golden fried eggs, the red chili oil, and the white dough sheets are simply pleasing to the eye.

Maybe it was because it tasted really good, or maybe it was because it was made by herself, so the mother and daughter even drank the soup in the end, and sat at the table and didn't want to move.

Ruan Yuzhu said: "Mother, eldest sister, when will our shop open?" ”

She can't wait to start selling noodles. As long as the shop is open, they will make money. If this continues, I don't think I will sell my children anymore.

Li Shi said: "Soon, wait for us to buy the flour in a while, and then buy some chopsticks and bowls, as well as spices...... Li Shi folded his hands and counted the things that needed to be added to Ruan Yuzhu.

Ruan Yuzhu felt that opening a shop was really not a simple matter. She has been busy for more than half a month, and she thinks that everything is ready, but she knows that there are actually a lot of bad things.
