In the early morning, the sun shone through the window on the sleeping Lu Xiang'er, but Lu Xiang'er, who was wearing a middle coat and pants, slept soundly at all. And when she unconsciously turned around, there was an object hanging around her neck, but under the sunlight, it reflected a dazzling light. Coincidentally, this light hit Lu Xiang'er's face, making her have to open her eyes.

The sleepy-eyed Lu Xiang'er immediately sat up, grabbed the skirt on the side, and put it on. After getting dressed, Lu Xiang'er didn't pay attention to the fact that there was no one in the house or courtyard, and walked directly to the kitchen, picked up the porridge on the stove and drank it. And, of course, a peeled egg in the bowl.

After eating, Lu Xianger also completely sobered up. Putting down the bowl, she went to the well again, picked up the willow branches soaked in the shelf next to her and brushed her teeth. While brushing, Lu Xiang'er guessed that Lu Hong might be being 'ravaged' by Uncle Zhao at this time, and as for her aunt Lu Erniang, she must have gone to the river next to the village to herd pigs again.

Since Lu Hong worshipped Uncle Zhao as his teacher, Lu Erniang bought two piglets. Every day, when Lu Hong went to learn martial arts, Lu Erniang would go out to herd pigs. Because Lu Xianger is too young, she often had nightmares some time ago and lost a lot of weight. Later, there was the incident of sister-in-law Zhao, and Lu Erniang was afraid that she would be laughed at by the children in the village, so she was not allowed to go out of the yard.

Therefore, the above series of things are what Lu Xianger must do every day. And when she finished brushing her teeth, she fed the chickens in the yard, and could only sit under the locust tree in a daze.

"After my brother finished practicing martial arts, he had to help others herd cattle and study casually. After A-Niang finished releasing the pigs, she had to go to Aunt Zhao's house to embroider purses and handkerchiefs to sell in the county. And I just had to stay at home and look at the sky and talk to these chicks. Lu Xiang'er held her chin and couldn't help but think of her family's financial situation again.

Although Lu Xiang'er still doesn't know the prices of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Lu Erniang and Lu Hong have already tried to make money, and obviously their families are not very rich. But think about it, although the original Lu family is very rich, when they flee, they can't bring too much money with them in a hurry. After arriving in Qinghe Village, I bought a house and land. During this time, I bought chickens and two piglets, which should be a lot of money.

"I'm a cross-traveler, how can I think of a way to make money." Lu Xiang'er suddenly remembered Piaoxiang Wine Workshop.

The reason why Piaoxiang Distillery is famous in Qianzhou is not only that Lu Tai is properly managed, but also that the Lu family's wine is indeed different. Because, the Lu family's wine is so attractive, all because Lu Tai has a secret recipe for winemaking. And this secret recipe is told to Lu Xiang'er every year, intentionally or unintentionally.

In her previous life, Lu Xianger was a salesman who sold wine, and she also knew a lot about wine. If the Piaoxiang Distillery is reopened, combined with the secret recipe of the Lu family's winemaking and the modern winemaking process that Lu Xianger knows, the wine brewed will definitely be famous in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

I just don't know if King Chen has continued to send people to look for the Lu family everywhere. In case of opening a small wine shop and attracting the people of King Chen, the gains really outweigh the losses. It seemed that this road was impassable for the time being, Lu Xiang'er sighed and began to look up at the locust tree overhead. Suddenly, Lu Xiang'er's eyes lit up, and she immediately pulled out the object on her neck and put it on her hand to look at it.

The object was a small ring-headed knife. It is only more than two inches long, and it is not as long as Lu Xiang'er's palm. It's less than an inch wide, not to mention thick, otherwise it can't be hung around your neck casually. I don't know what the wood at the handle is, but it has a faint fragrance. At the head of the ring, there is a red gem on each side, which shines brightly in the sun. I don't know what kind of leather the knife bag wrapped around the blade is, and it has a beautiful plum blossom pattern painted on it.

Tearing off the knife bag, a chill hit his face. Even Lu Xiang'er, a person who doesn't understand cold weapons, can feel that although this knife is small, it is extremely sharp. In order to test whether it was as she guessed, Lu Xiang'er took a knife and slashed it on a piece of firewood. Unexpectedly, a corner of this firewood was cut off like that. Although I can't talk about tofu, it's not very difficult.

"That's an exaggeration. I thought you were just an ornament, but it turned out to be a 'treasure knife'. Lu Xiang'er thought that this birthday gift from Lu Tai was just very beautiful, but she didn't expect it to be so practical. Thinking of the money-making plan in her heart, Lu Xianger was immediately full of confidence.

Lu Xiang'er saw that Lu Erniang hadn't come back yet, so she took this opportunity to pick up a lot of firewood that had not yet been chopped and put it into the mud room of the sundries. When Lu Erniang was about to come back, she sat honestly under the locust tree, as if nothing had happened.

Because Lu Erniang rushed to Aunt Zhao's house, seeing that Lu Xianger was so honest, she drove the two little pigs to the pigsty, and told her a few words before leaving the yard. And when Lu Xiang'er heard Lu Erniang's voice in the courtyard next door, she immediately rushed into the mud room. And when Lu Hong was about to come back, she sat honestly under the locust tree as before.

After a few days like this, Lu Erniang and Lu Hong did not notice Lu Xiang'er's actions. Until the evening of this day, Lu Hong herded the cattle home. The family of three sat together and ate dinner very warmly. Lu Hong hesitated to put down his chopsticks when he was almost eating.

Looking at Lu Erniang's face, Lu Hongcai said slowly: "A-Niang, I heard Brother Yi say today that eight-year-old children in the village can go to the academy. ”

"Oh, A-Niang forgot. Brother Hong is eight years old, and it's time to go to school. Waiting for A-Niang tomorrow is to talk to the village and let Brother Hong also enter the school. Lu Erniang looked at Lu Hong, and sighed with emotion, she almost forgot that Lu Hong would be eight years old in two days.

Lu Hong saw that Lu Erniang didn't know about that, and continued: "A-Niang, because Qinghe Village is very close to the county, there is no school in the village, and they all go to the school on the outskirts of the county to study. ”

"So you can't come back for dinner at noon. A-Niang will make more in the morning and let you take it with you to eat at noon. Lu Erniang gave Lu Xiang'er another chopstick dish, and didn't care about Lu Hong's words.

Seeing this, Lu Hong only lowered his voice and said quickly: "Ah Niang, the village is preparing an ox cart for children who can go to school. These people are sent to the county school every morning and back in the evening. However, there is a fee. And you have to tie up, buy pens, buy paper......"

"Oh?" Only then did Lu Erniang understand what Lu Hong meant. Thinking that there was no money in the family now, Lu Erniang also lowered her head and pondered. Lu Xiang'er saw Lu Erniang's embarrassed appearance, and finally understood that the family might really have no money.

Just when Lu Xiang'er was about to say something, Lu Erniang raised her head again and said, "It's okay." After eating for a while, A-Niang will take you to the village to say goodbye. Early tomorrow morning, A-Niang will go to the county and sell the embroidered ones first, which should be enough for you to go to school. ”

"A-Niang, either or ......" Lu Hong wanted to say that he would not go to the school, but it could be seen that Lu Erniang's face sank, so he couldn't continue.

Seeing this, Lu Xiang'er immediately ran out, but came back quickly. However, she had an extra cloth bag in her hand. Under the puzzled eyes of Lu Erniang and Lu Hong, Lu Xiang'er opened the burden and said, "A-Niang, you go to the county tomorrow and buy these too." Although it doesn't work, it is better than the rarity, and it should be able to sell for more money. ”

"Xiang'er, what are these?" Lu Hong saw all kinds of strange things in the cloth bag, and couldn't help but pick up one of the thin pieces of wood, and there was a small gadget with a wooden stick in the middle to look at it carefully.

And Lu Erniang was puzzled at first, but when she saw that these gadgets seemed to be made of wood, her face sank, and she asked, "Xiang'er, where did these come from?" ”

"Auntie, these are all things that I think about when I am idle at home on weekdays, and they are very interesting." Lu Xiang'er only took out the gadgets in the baggage, but she didn't notice Lu Erniang's gloomy face, and her voice was a little stern: "So, you did all this?" ”

"Yes, A-Niang......" When Lu Xiang'er wanted to say something, she felt Lu Hong pull her sleeve. Only then did Lu Xiang'er shift from Lu Hong's expression to Lu Niang's face, and found that she seemed to be very unhappy. Lu Xiang'er was very puzzled, so she asked, "Auntie, what's wrong with you?" ”

"You tell A-Niang honestly, these are all made of wood, where did you get the knife?" Lu Erniang thought that Lu Xiang'er must have used the big kitchen knife in the kitchen, thinking that Lu Xiang'er's small hands made so many gadgets. She really wanted to grab Lu Xiang'er's hand and take a good look at whether there were any scars on her hands. At the same time, Lu Erniang also blamed herself for being too busy these days, and she didn't pay close attention to Lu Xiang'er.

"Auntie, I need this." As she spoke, Lu Xiang'er immediately pulled out the red thread around her neck. Looking at the knife on the red line, which was only the size of Lu Xiang'er's palm, but it was very exquisite, Lu Hong couldn't believe that it would be so sharp.

But Lu Erniang grabbed Lu Xiang'er's hand and checked it, and said: "It turned out to be the birthday gift that your father gave you, but A-Niang forgot about it." However, from now on, you will not be able to use that knife again. Otherwise, A-Niang will put it away. ”

"Got it, A-Niang." Lu Xiang'er knew that Lu Erniang thought she was too young and was afraid of hurting herself. had to nod in agreement, secretly lamenting that his first money-making plan was not good.
