After a good night's sleep, Lu Yu still got up and went to the ground before dawn as usual. It didn't seem to be very hot today, and the layers of white clouds blocked most of the sun's power, and I worked in the fields until lunchtime. When I went back, I picked some green peppers and shallots in my small vegetable garden, and prepared to fry the meat to eat.

When cutting the meat, Lu Yu remembered the dent on the kitchen knife. He took the kitchen knife out of the kitchen and looked at it, and the dents on it looked like words, on both sides.

But the kitchen knife was too old and old, and the black-brown color was so dark that it was hard to see what was carved. Lu Yu grabbed a handful of fine sand in the backyard, rubbed it to remove the dirt on the kitchen knife, and washed it with clean water, and those words became clear.

"The dantian gathers the aura of heaven and earth, and all the seven orifices and hundreds of holes cannot be entered......" Lu Yu read these words and didn't understand much.

After thinking about it, Lu Yu felt that it shouldn't be, why didn't he find the words on the knife before. Besides, who would be okay to carve on a kitchen knife.

I can't think of a reason, Lu Yu doesn't bother to think about it, anyway, he looks at this knife now that it is very special, and it may be very valuable.

Lu Yu thought to himself, the valuable knife should be properly put away and hidden, maybe Lu Ming would count on him when he married his daughter-in-law.

Lu Yu thought again: "If, you mean that if, if you sell the knife and can give both of us brothers a daughter-in-law, then it will naturally be better." Who doesn't have a dream yet, doesn't they? ”

But Lu Yu only has this one thing at home that can cut vegetables, he can't really hide the kitchen knife, he still has to use it. Lu Yu sighed again: "Alas, I don't know if you are really a baby, anyway, you are just a kitchen knife, what else can you do if you don't use it to cut vegetables?" ”

August is the season for corn harvesting. Lu Yu was busy for seven or eight days before he finished harvesting the corn in the field. Dry the corn in the yard, hang it, and the busiest days are over.

And the planted peanuts are also going to start digging, and the peanuts have been digging for the past two months, and it is estimated that by the end of October, some peanuts can be turned out in the ground, but there is no need to rush like harvesting corn, do it at sunrise and rest at sunset.

After another busy day, when Lu Yu came home this night, he found that his younger brother Lu Ming was already at the door. Lu Ming can rest for a day or two every month, and when he rests, he usually goes back to the village. Seeing his younger brother, Lu Yu was naturally in a good mood, and there were still some wild boar meat sent by Lao Gao, which could be eaten at night.

"Brother, are you still busy?" Lu Ming felt that his brother had been a lot darker recently.

Lu Ming replied: "I'm not so busy, the corn has been harvested, and I've been turning peanuts for the past two days." ”

"Oh, that's fine. The shopkeeper gave me three days off this time, and tomorrow I will go to the field with you. "Lu Ming is actually quite good to his brother.

Lu Yu asked, "Why do you put it for three days this time?" ”

Lu Ming shook his head and said, "Recently, the business in the store has not been very good, and the shopkeeper's body is not feeling well, so I want to close the store for a few days." ”

Lu Yu also went to their shop, of course, only to see his younger brother, and he couldn't afford to eat there. Lu Yu remembered that the business in the store was good, and there were many people sitting in the restaurant before they reached the dining point.

However, it is also a good thing that Lu Ming can rest, and he can't manage so much whether the business is good or not. Lu Yu said to his younger brother again: "Forget it, I don't need your help, there are not many things, I can be busy." After all, running the hall is not as good as working in the field, he has not done farm work for a long time, so he may not be able to do it.

"Okay, I'll cook for you during the day."

"Hmm." Thinking of the meat, Lu Yu asked him, "Have you seen your father recently?" He hasn't been home in a long time. ”

"I saw it the day before yesterday, and it was in the town, and I told him to ignore me." Lu Ming did see his father more often in the town.

"Alas, okay, I can't control him." Shaking his head, Lu Yu said again: "I'm going to cook, someone sent some wild boar meat over, I'll fry it." ”

"Hey, who's so kind?" Lu Ming was very happy to hear it.

Lu Yu told him about helping Lao Gao carry wild boars, and after listening to it, he said, "Lao Gao is not bad."

While cooking, Lu Yu called Lu Ming to the kitchen, took a kitchen knife and said to him: "Look, there are words on this knife, isn't it strange?" ”

Lu Ming was startled when he saw Lu Yu holding a kitchen knife at him. After listening to his brother, he took the kitchen knife, looked left and right for a long time, and said, "Where are the words?" How can I not see it? ”

"Huh?" Lu Yu took the kitchen knife, the words are still there; After touching it again, the dent seemed to be getting more and more obvious, and said to him again: "Look closely, isn't this a word?" The handwriting is still there, and I can feel it. ”

He took the kitchen knife and touched it, looked at me again, and said, "Brother, aren't you blind?" No words. ”

Lu Yu saw that Lu Ming's expression didn't look like he was joking, so he felt that something was wrong, this knife, there was a problem, a big problem.

Seeing that Lu Yu didn't speak, Lu Ming said again: "Brother, you can't stay alone all the time, and go to the town to live for a while when you're done." ”

"Huh? Do you think I'm stupid by myself? Lu Yu was still thinking about why Lu Ming couldn't see the words on the knife.

"Hehe, it's not that you're stupid." Lu Ming seemed to think of something, and said, "Brother, do you think that I don't know how to read and deliberately trick me?" ”

"Yes!" Lu Yu thought about it, his younger brother didn't know words, so he couldn't see or touch the handwriting.

"What's right? Although your brother is not studying, he is very clear in his calculations, and he is no worse than a scholar. Lu Ming thought that Lu Yu was talking about him.

Lu Yu shook his head and said, "It's okay, maybe my eyes are spent, I've been too tired lately." "There are words on the knife, and the illiterate people can't see or touch it, it's amazing.

Lu Yu didn't know if his explanation was right, so they didn't care about the kitchen knife.

Lu Yu fried a large pot of pork, and then scalded and fried the remaining small piece of pickled and shriveled large intestine, and fried a green vegetable with lard. Lu Ming didn't like to drink corn paste, so Lu Yu made some corn tortillas as a staple food.

"Brother, you have good skills, why don't you go to our store to be a cook." Lu Ming ate very deliciously.

Lu Yu smiled: "I go to be a cook, what about the land at home?" ”

"It's wasted, anyway, you can't grow a few dollars a year, and the cook can get seven or eight dollars of silver a month, isn't it better than you farming?"

"So how?" Lu Yu calculated, even if it is seven yuan a month, it is eight taels or four yuan a year, and it is sixteen taels and eight dollars in two years, so I can almost marry Lu Ming a daughter-in-law. But when he thought of this, he stopped, shook his head and said: "No, I know my cooking level, and I don't look like a chef worth seven or eight dollars a month." In fact, there is another reason, that is, the mountain land that his mother worked so hard to cultivate, Lu Yu doesn't want to be so wasted.

Lu Ming thought about it, and felt that it made sense, so he didn't say it anymore. Lu Yu looked at him, and suddenly felt a little sour in his heart, the brothers looked like dogs, why couldn't they even marry a daughter-in-law?

"Brother, let me tell you something." Lu Ming suddenly burst out and said.

Lu Yu asked, "What?" Looking at Lu Ming's serious appearance, it feels like it's not a trivial matter.

Lu Ming raised his head and whispered, "I have a crush on a girl, and she is also interesting to me." ”

"That's a good thing, whose girl?" Lu Yu instantly became happy, and then a little worried.

Lu Ming still whispered and said, "The second daughter of Seventh Master Zhang in the town." ”

"Which Seventh Master Zhang?" Lu Yu was already thinking about how much money he could make up to marry him. He had some money from selling grain, which added up to only five or six taels of silver, all of which were kept for Lu Ming. Lu Ming has been working in the hotel for three years, and I don't know how much he has saved, and Lu Yu has never asked. But if Lu Ming can make up four or five taels by himself, and then think of a way to add them up, maybe he can become this family business.

Lu Ming lowered his head and replied, "It's the richest Zhang Qiye, he and his daughter came to our restaurant for dinner last month, and then they met." ”
