The people who sleep outside sleep with Xiao Erhei, anyway, they have to make a kennel for Xiao Erhei, so they sleep with the dog.

Then the remaining question is, how should the two of them make money outside, according to what was said before, they have to pay the rent of Mrs. Fan's house, if they eat and sleep in Mrs. Fan's house all day, if they don't have money, won't they be kicked out by others? Although Mrs. Fan meant that there was no urgency for the time being, and they could be delayed for a month, no matter how long it was delayed, they would have to be paid.

Asked Li Jiye what he would do, Li Jiye said that he had read some books, and he could write letters or something for others, and he was reluctant to let him go to the inn to be a junior or a maid in the back kitchen, and his intention was to participate in the autumn festival of Chu State, if he could go to high school by then, he would not be afraid of anything if he had fame.

Li Jicai naturally knows the benefits of being an official, and he doesn't look like a dull person, if he can really become an official, then they don't have to worry about anything, let alone worry about this.

Seeing that this year's autumn season has passed, they can only wait for next year, and they have been wandering the streets and know that there are some free book clubs nearby.

Therefore, during the period when he was reviewing his homework, Li Jiye may not have much income, and Li Jicai summed up this situation.

Therefore, during this time, she had to support herself, Li Jiye and Xiao Erhei, and pay a certain amount of money to Mrs. Yifan.

Does this still make people live?

Taking a deep breath, Li Jicai carried a chicken that was still dripping blood with plucked feathers in his hand, waved away the chaotic thoughts in his head, and then continued to squat on the edge of the waterway and struggle, this chicken was stolen by her, no, to be precise, this chicken was lost, so it fell into her hands.

She kindly took it back to the small courtyard, then boiled the water, sentenced it to death, and brought it out to pluck the hair, ready to go back after it was cleaned, because Mrs. Fan didn't like the smell of blood.

A rare meal, for them who are often hungry, they can't suck every drop of the essence of this chicken.

Li Jicai plans to cook this chicken first, cook a big pot of chicken soup, and then remove all the meat of this chicken to cook or something. If the bones are boiled thoroughly, they will be handed over to Xiao Erhei, anyway, he should like to gnaw bones

When the chicken feathers were almost plucked, Li Jicai got up and went back with the smooth chicken.

Mrs. Fan's small courtyard has no name, other families have it, and there is no one in an alley, is it because she is a foreigner?

Where is Shafan?

Carrying the sleek chicken and thinking about messy things, his mind wandered all the way, and Li Jicai went back like this.

Ever since they moved into the old lady's house, she had been cooking the food, so she had to rush back to cook it before dark.

Begging during the day and cooking at night, Li Jicai felt that his life was like that of an old man and grandmother who often appeared at the school gate in middle school.

Dressed in blue cloth shirts and holding potted porcelain bowls, they peddled air to passing students. In exchange for money, you can also meet in the chess and card room of the community in the evening.

Why does Lee Ji-cai know? Because her father would go to the chess and card room to play cards from time to time, and he would pick up these old men and grandmothers, all of whom were acquaintances. The flickering at the poker table is all skill, not only have you made money, but the other party is also too greedy, and no one loses.

Li Jicai also has a broken porcelain bowl in his hand, but compared to others, his skills are still far behind. She felt that her ability to beg was not as strong as that of others, so she could only pretend to be pitiful, and she did not have many tricks.

Therefore, it is most practical to earn money and eat honestly.

Since it is to earn money to eat, this money must be earned back from eating.

Li Jicai, who returned to the small courtyard, muttered about what she was going to sell in this capital to make money, after all, the ancient times were not as good as the modern ones, and she did not understand the tastes of the ancient people very well, at least what she ate here, except for the steamed buns, the others were unpalatable.

"Hey, Li Jiye, come here to help!" As soon as Li Jicai entered the door with the chicken, he saw Li Jiye squatting in front of Xiao Erhei's kennel, playing with it.

How could he be so idle after working for a long time, and he could only eat after working hard.

"I'm a reader." It means that he is the one who is about to take the exam, how can he do cooking? This inevitably undermines his dignity as a scholar.

It's just that I mentioned two sentences two days ago, and Li Jiye really went online.

"What? Scholars don't eat? Then don't eat if I cook! Li Jicai was also annoyed, she had been working hard with him for so long, and it was not easy to settle down temporarily.

"It's useless." Li Jiye said disdainfully.

"Useless things? There is no useless thing in the world, only people who throw nothing, you don't worry about three meals, you don't want to eat without labor? And you're here to tease the dog is something useful? Talking to dogs? Ridiculous! ”

"......" Li Jiye was speechless by her words, and looked at her without blinking, he didn't expect Li Jicai to be able to say this.

He really didn't think of this, he was just bored to play with the dog, and he did have this idea for the imperial examination, but he hadn't implemented it yet, thinking that they had settled down at Mrs. Fan's house for the time being, and every day he pretended to be a monk and went out to make a fortune, he could also get food, and occasionally a kind woman would give him clothes to wear, unlike Li Jicai, it would be great if others could give him something to eat, and he was still wearing rags. After living a difficult life for too long, and suddenly becoming acceptable, he had the idea of slacking off, anyway, with Li Jicai here, he would definitely not starve to death. It's as if the guards were by their side.

Besides, the systems of Chu and Yan are different, although the things they learn are the same, they all learn the words of sages, but in fact, there are still some differences in all aspects, so he is not sure that he can pass the layers of selection, and then he can really be an official in Chu State. You must know that he is a native of Yan Kingdom, once he is found out, the consequences will ......

But now no one knows his identity, and Li Jicai's words are almost insulting and smashing his face, which makes him feel very embarrassed.

But if you want to say that what she said is not reasonable, it is not, on the contrary, what the other party said is very reasonable.

Indeed, there is no useless thing in this world, only the vain.

"I'm going to get a name for you!" Li Jiye said with some stubbornness, he felt that Li Jicai meant to look down on him a little when he said this.

He didn't even feel despised when he went out to disguise himself as a monk to turn into a relationship, but now he can really feel Li Jicai's complete contempt for him.

"Just take a look! When a manly man speaks, it is difficult to chase after a horse, and you will be tested for fame. Li Jicai deliberately provoked him, but he didn't expect his youthful heart to really take the bait.

After a few months of getting along, can she understand Li Jiye's temperament more or less? Don't look at the silence on weekdays, and don't talk much, in fact, they are all pretending to be mature and pressed in their hearts, as long as they are slightly induced, they will naturally fall into his trap as they are today.

"Good! What I say is what I say! ”

The air seemed to be frozen, and the two of them looked at each other like this, and their faces were unconvinced.

Suddenly, "Wangwang" Xiao Erhei shouted twice, facing the direction of the door.

It turned out that Mrs. Fan came back, and when she looked at the two of them with blue and white faces, she knew that they must have quarreled.

I wasn't in a hurry, and said to Li Jicai, "Dinner?" ”

"Alright, right away." Li Jicai hurriedly stood up straight and smiled at Mrs. Fan.

"Hmm." Mrs. Fan nodded, and then walked slowly through the courtyard, looking in this direction to her house.

Li Jicai hurriedly walked to her side, and then took her things.

But she was lightly flashed by Mrs. Fan, and her things don't like to be touched.

"Let's go and get ready." When I'm older, I don't want to eat after a while.

So it's better to let Li Jicai bring the food earlier.

In the evening, I cooked porridge and fried two small dishes, but I didn't put much oil, water and salt, because the old lady couldn't eat anything greasy or too salty.

From the previous time they could only eat one meal, they can now be allowed to eat two, although they are all coarse tea and light rice, and they can't eat more, but it is as if they have changed from three points full to five points full every day, and then to seven points full.

Mrs. Fan was really nice to them, especially accepting strangers into her home, and it took several months to finally impress her, if she had been someone else, she would have been driven away a long time ago.

So Li Jicai is really grateful to her.

After a few people came to the table, Xiao Erhei obediently lay under the table, shaking his gray tail, whether he was using it to tease Li Jicai's calves, very leisurely.

"What were you guys arguing about?" Mrs. Fan took a bean and put it in her mouth, chewed it slowly for a long time before asking.

Li Jicai subconsciously wanted to say that there was nothing, but when he came into contact with her gaze, he was a little afraid.

After all, Mrs. Fan's ears are clear, and her deep eyes fall on whoever she is, as if she can see through the other party, although she is old, she always gives people a feeling of being old and strategic, this person is unfathomable.

Swallowing his saliva, Li Jicai whispered: "When I came back, I saw that my younger brother was teasing the dog and didn't go to Wenshu to study to prepare for the exam, so I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed." ”

"Hmm." Mrs. Fan answered, and then didn't say anything more.

Eat without speaking, sleep without speaking, this is the rule.

The dinner table was quiet, and Mrs. Fan was always the first to leave the table, and this time was no exception.

She glanced at Li Jiye, and then said nonchalantly: "It's always a good thing to have a little bit of interest, so you won't pretend to be a monk all day long, be laughed at on the road, and tarnish the Bodhisattva's face." ”
