As soon as she entered the courtyard, a fat aunt at the entrance of the village greeted her:

"Yo, Luo Shi is back, tsk, look at the carriage of Liang Mansion, I don't know if I can ride it once in my life."

"Forget it, I heard that the son of the world is good-looking, and he likes to eat spicy dishes, and Luo Shi is lucky" Her man carried a hoe, just came back from the field, and saw that Luo Shi's house was lively and beautiful, so he came over with his mother-in-law.

Luo Shi nodded at them, and didn't say anything, it seemed that everyone in the village knew about her coming back from the Liang Mansion.

In the courtyard, osmanthus sat on her knees on the ground, her cheeks were high and swollen, and her eyes were bruised.

Next to her stood a tall and broad man, with his trouser legs pulled up, and because he had been immersed in water for many years, his green tendons protruded like earthworms. Luo Shi knew that this man should be Osmanthus's husband, Niu Baoshan of the fish pond in Niujia Village.

Seeing that Luo Shi was coming, Niu Baoshan spoke first: "Luo Shi's niece, it is the uncle who can't stand you, the slut in the family has done such a thing of stealing chickens and touching dogs, and I have no shame on my face, so I don't pull her to you to deal with it, but also ask Master Li Zheng to be a witness."

The old bull took a puff of smoke and sat on an old Taishi chair.

"Uncle Baoshan, this is your own business, and your own daughter-in-law, you just discipline it, don't have to be involved with me anymore, I have received your love, Aunt Osmanthus, you can take it back"

Luo Xi smiled politely, and then said to the old man Li Zhengniu: "I'm sorry to bother you every once in a while, I'm going to cook, do you want to eat a little bit of your face?" ”

"If you don't eat, you still have to do it, you don't know, our village hates the most people who steal chickens and dogs, the mother-in-law of the Baoshan family steals your things, she admits it herself, according to the rules of our Niujia Village, she will divorce his wife and expel him!"

"......" Luo Shi was a little embarrassed in her heart, not that she was soft-hearted to osmanthus, but she really didn't want to be entangled too deeply, so that everyone knew about the chili pepper.

"Don't tell me what the hell you stole from someone!"

Niu Baoshan's face was angry, he held a rattan in his hand, and whipped it on Osmanthus without pity, the cotton jacket was torn, and a pile of blood-stained cotton wool was turned out.

"Oops, wow...... I don't know what it is, I just know that chewing it is spicy, much hotter than our usual dogwood, I think, I want my eldest niece to make money from this, I look red...... Just, oops"

Osmanthus said while crying, holding her husband's leg and hoping that he would be lighter.

"Luo Shi, what is Osmanthus talking about?" A shrewdness flashed in Li Zheng's eyes, knocked on the cigarette pot, and asked without a trace.

Luo Shi knew that she couldn't hide it today, so she thought about releasing the spicy strips, but she left the chili pepper as a hole card to reduce the hatred of some people in the village towards her, and everyone could make spicy strips and sell them for money, but it was not as delicious as what she did.

But she still underestimated the worst-case scenario.

"It's called chili, it was given to me by the people of Shu when I fled, it was originally spicy for refreshment, and then I found that it was very delicious to add it to cooking, so I tried to make it to see," Luo Shi said lightly.

"Oh, so that's the case, that osmanthus has done a good thing for the whole village" Li Zheng glanced at Niu Baoshan, meaningful.

"This mother-in-law is fascinated for a while! It's all from a village, open your mouth to ask her for some, how can Luo Shi's niece refuse? Since the key is all in this chili, it is better for the whole village to set aside the fields and come out, plant this chili pepper to sell as vegetables, and follow our Luo Shi niece to learn the recipe, if you want to make money, we will earn it together, do you say yes! ”

Niu Baoshan raised his voice and asked the onlookers about the villagers, everyone heard that it was a truth, with this chili pepper, how much money did the foreign girl make, and she couldn't die if she ate alone, so she responded and said yes.

Luo Shi lowered her eyes, and sneered in her heart: What kind of cow ghost and snake is she when she is Niu Baoshan, tying her daughter-in-law to her house to sing a big opera, it was originally a wicker string of kings, the goods on a branch, her daughter-in-law stole it, he is going to rob it?

The old bull head smiled when he heard this, waved his hand and motioned for everyone to listen to him quietly: "You doll is anxious, you can't ask people's opinions?" The thing is hers, and the recipe is hers."

Without waiting for Luo Shi to speak, Niu Baoshan hurriedly begged her, and said earnestly:

"Niece Luo, I'm begging you! What your Aunt Osmanthus did was wrong, but Uncle couldn't divorce her, but as long as you made public the chili peppers and recipes, this matter would be over, and everyone would be able to remember her in the future."

"You see that you fled to Niujia Village, and everyone treated you well, and you didn't listen to anyone who embarrassed you. Now that you have a big bowl of wealth, you will give it to the villagers, and they are all rich, who doesn't miss your good? Niu Baoshan persevered.

Luo Shi looked at him, broke his hand out of his big palm, ignored him, and only spoke to Li Zheng:

"I know this truth, the peppers are not unwilling, but this batch of seeds have been planted, and I will pick the seeds in two months, and the villagers will come to my house to receive them."

She is a person who will judge the situation and not be a stubborn resistance, obviously this scene is all colluded, no matter how she sings, it is nothing more than forcing her to hand over the chili pepper, even if she sternly refuses and tears her face, is it possible that they have no other way?

I don't have anyone, I have excellent people, and I turn around.

just wanted to ask her to eat the routine so easily, but she was still unwilling, so she said:

"I think I will supply the chili peppers to the villagers, but the production of spicy strips is cumbersome, and grinding soybeans is also laborious, it is not as convenient as the small fish, it is better to ask Uncle Baoshan to provide the small fish for free, everyone will take it and sell it first, and I am not afraid of discounting the cost."

This is a joyful thing, he wants to borrow flowers to offer Buddha to please the villagers, then she will also pull him together to be a good wealth boy.

The old bull head laughed: "Baoshan, you heard Luo Shi say so, you also have to show an attitude, if you can really bring the whole village to get rich, you will also be the first in the merit book."

Seeing that Li Zheng didn't think it was a big deal, Niu Baoshan glared at Luo Shi fiercely, and his face was cloudy, but there was really no reason to refuse.

seemed to see her husband's embarrassment, and the crying osmanthus muttered: "That's not possible, she has a few peppers, and our little fish are precious."

These words made him burn in his heart, and he kicked her down with a kick, and said hatefully: "Here you have to speak!" You don't think it's worth it, and you're going to steal it? ”

"Brother Baoshan, don't worry about your mother-in-law, you can say something, hahaha, let's all wait" "Yes, yes, when you are rich, I will set up a statue of the shrine for you, and I will provide you with it every day, hahaha" The villagers coaxed, and a few good things shouted.

Luo Shi looked at Niu Baoshan's painful appearance of eating his own fruits, stood aside and squinted and smiled, stroked his small body that trembled angrily, and comforted softly: "Don't be afraid of the pocket, let's not care about them and live our own small life."

"We'll see!"

With a suppressed sound, Niu Baoshan glanced at the astringency, grabbed the back collar of the osmanthus, and lifted the person halfway.

dragged and dragged to the old bull head of Lizheng, and his words flashed:

"I, listen to you, you call the shots, I'll take this woman back first......"

The old cow nodded, put down the cigarette stick, and said in a puffed voice: "It's done, everyone is scattered, these two have agreed, who makes a lot of money when you turn around, don't forget to mention some vegetables and fruits during the New Year's festival Thank you!" ”

In the cheers of the villagers, Niu Baoshan fled in panic, Luo Shi sent away the old cow head, and when the lively people dispersed, she dragged her tired body into the hall and closed the door.

The stove was cold, and there was no spark at all, but she was so tired that she didn't want to move.

Holding the porcelain bowl in both hands, he scooped water for her to drink, and comforted her: "Sister, don't be angry, drink saliva, Douzi will cook for you"

Luo Shi snorted and laughed, took a sip of water, and then said, "You are not as high as the stove, how can you cook?" Besides, the gentleman cooks far away, and he is not afraid of people's jokes when he cooks for women? ”

Douzi didn't understand what Junzi Yuan's cooking was, but he said innocently: "Douzi is willing to burn it for my sister to eat, and I'm not afraid of other people's jokes!" ”

Seeing that he has a body like a bean sprout, his face is yellow and thin, and his hair is like withered grass, which is really not nutritious. Today, I asked Liangfu to take him away for half a day, and I didn't even bring the chicks back, so I will go to Liang's house tomorrow anyway to see if I can get some back.

He took out the ten taels of silver from his arms, and poured the word "Yongchang" on it, looking like a new silver ingot in the furnace room, and the color was very beautiful.

"Wow! That's a lot of money."

The pocket's eyes lit up, and he lay on the corner of the table and stared at the silver ingot, even touching it carefully.

One hundred and fifty were poured into ingots, ten taels and five taels were silver ingots, the last time I brought one tael of silver ingots, and then there was a copper plate and a big coin, and Luo Shi couldn't explain it to him, so he said:

"This ingot of silver is enough for us to build a brick house, and by the way, we will build the courtyard wall together."

Luo Xianxin said: Anyway, I know that she sends spicy dishes to the Liang Mansion, and the entry can't hide from people, so it's better to use it with ease, it's all what you deserve, there is no shameful business, if someone is red-eyed, she will be red, and she will accompany her if she wants to make trouble, and the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and it can only be like this.

"Tomorrow my sister is going to Liang's house, and I will come back after noon, you go to find the grandmother, tell her about our family's house, and ask her to help find someone, and choose a good day for the emperor to start work."

"Get a house?" The pocket blinked.

"The adobe thatched house we live in, not sheltered from the wind in winter and not rainy in summer, so we keep it as a stove room and a warehouse, and then build a three-room brick house in the north, the hall house is hospitable, the left and right side houses live in people, and the furniture is slowly added.

In addition to getting up the house, the thatched pit in the backyard also had to be filled in, and then another thatched toilet was built, and she was really fed up with the fear that the squatting pit would fall into at any time.

There was also a need to re-regulate the courtyard wall, enclose the vegetable field together, keep the crooked-necked date trees, and water the remaining muddy ground to make a spacious field where millet, corn and dried peppers could be dried.

If you do your best, I'm afraid that ten taels will not be enough, but fortunately, time is involved, and she can earn more money back - Liang Mansion has a guaranteed minimum of ten taels a month, plus rushing to sell some spicy dishes, and the follow-up payment will not be a problem.

But getting up the house is a troublesome thing, in addition to spending money, you have to find a reliable person to keep an eye on, in fact, she is very concerned about Niu Changgeng, but he is busy working on the dock, and he is afraid that he will not be able to get out.

"Pocket, you will tell the grandmother that the bricks and tiles should be assured, not just cheap, but good ones, as for those who help with the work, each person will have thirty dollars a day, just one lunch, and you have to find honest people."

"Well, I remember, I said the same thing to my grandmother."

After explaining the matter, Luo Shi collected the silver ingot, hid the hole under the kang bed, and covered it with reed stalks. Although it will not be spent in a few days, it is always necessary to be careful to reassure yourself.
