Chapter 124: Totem Beast
Mrs. Qian's eyes suddenly lit up: "Okay, then this matter is decided." ”
It's just that what Li didn't expect was that the person called by Mrs. Qian had only been picking at their house for a few days, and he actually planned to pick tofu and sell it himself.
It turned out that when he delivered tofu to Mrs. Qian's house early in the morning, he would meet people on the road, and others would ask him: "What are you doing?
"No, I'll give you tofu. ”
"Tofu?" the man asked him suspiciously, what was tofu.
If it was time to rest, he naturally stopped and chatted with the other party for a while. In this trouble, some people heard that such a big piece of tofu could be exchanged for an egg, and they began to be moved: "Really, can an egg be exchanged for such a big piece? ”
He sent tofu, how could he change it?
This is going to be changed, isn't the sixteen copper plates that Mrs. Qian gave him every month gone?
Just one person asked like this, two people asked like this, and there were many people who asked, and when he went home and nagged his mother-in-law, his mother-in-law scolded him: "You are stupid, people are willing to change, why don't you change it? A piece of tofu can be exchanged for an egg, think about it, how many eggs can be exchanged for a load?"
"But...... That's set by Mrs. Qian, if I help pick it, I can still earn sixteen copper plates a month. ”
"Then if you change it to eggs, how many eggs can you change from a plate of tofu?
The man didn't squeak, but he had to admit that his mother-in-law was right.
His mother-in-law gave him an idea: "That's good, anyway, now that the autumn harvest is over, there is nothing for you to do at home, you send back the tofu of Mrs. Qian, just pick another load and sell it." ”
So, the man began his career selling tofu.
Li didn't expect that he could still operate like this, and he was pleasantly surprised.
After taking over this business, I quickly discussed it with the concubine at home and made two more plates of tofu every day.
Zhu Bamei is busy with hot water, and the daughters-in-law of the Zhu family are also busy with hot water, even Zhu San, Zhu Si, and Zhu Wu often run around with fishing nets, even if they are idle, they are almost not empty.
Only Old Man Zhu took Zhu Da and Zhu Er, and after helping Zhu Laosan and Zhu Laosi to harvest in the autumn, they returned home, but suddenly found that the three of them had become "idlers".
Looking at the rest of the family who were busy and didn't have time to take care of him, Old Man Zhu: "......"
As the main labor force in the family, he was suddenly "thrown" here, and this feeling is actually full of discomfort.
Even Zhu Da and Zhu Er were a little uncomfortable.
Usually when they go out, others will only praise them for being honest and capable, unlike their younger brothers, who only know how to be lazy all day long.
But now, many people asked them: "How many fish did your third brother catch today?"
"Tut-tut...... Your family has been busy lately, have you made a lot of money?"
"I smell your fried stuff again, how much oil does it cost. Your family is really rich, and my family can't even afford oil. ”
"Hey, why don't you two go back to help? I see that your brothers are very busy, why are you two ......?"
......
What's wrong with the two of them? The two of them are busy with the autumn harvest, and they have nothing to do.
Zhu Da and Zhu Er were depressed in their hearts, a little uncomfortable.
When they went to bed at night, they found that their mother-in-law did not "serve" them as before, so they quickly went to bed after cleaning up.
Wait, don't they usually sleep first?
As for when their mother-in-law slept with each other, Zhu Da and Zhu Er didn't know, they only knew that every time they went to sleep, their mother-in-law hadn't slept before, and their mother-in-law had already gotten up after waking up.
The two of them are in a bad mood, and they don't speak, they just sit sullenly under the wall, look at this, look at that.
Even so, they didn't do particularly well in their mother's "literacy program".
It's only five words a day, and I teach them when I get up in the morning and eat breakfast, so that they can learn from each other while working, and take the test when they have dinner.
Whoever writes the fastest gets one point, and the one who scores the most gets one more egg.
Although the fool Zhu Qi was excluded, Zhu Da and Zhu Er said: One, two, and three will write, but it will be difficult to get to the next five, six, and seven, not to mention that their mother also said: "This is the simplest, the most basic one, two, three, four, five, a little more difficult to write, as well as one, two, three, wanton, Wu, but these writing methods are too difficult, too difficult for you now, let's start with the simple first." ”
Zhu Da, Zhu Er: "......"
No, they don't find it easy at all.
Zhu Er didn't understand at all, one is one horizontal, two is two horizontal, and three is three horizontal, why don't you continue to draw horizontals when you get to the back?
He complained to Zhu Da: "Brother, why are you saying that this character is so difficult to learn? Isn't it okay to continue to draw horizontally, why do you have to be so complicated? Isn't this a toss for people." ”
Zhu Da didn't squeak, because he didn't understand it himself, what is the difference between this painting and painting.
"Mother, too, we are not reading materials, why do we have nothing to do with this? we won't go out in the future, anyway, we must have planted land for a lifetime. Zhu Er muttered.
Zhu Da raised his head, looked at the fishing nets that were drying in the yard, and then looked at the dried fish that were drying on the other side.
"Big brother, I'm talking to you, why don't you squeak?"
Zhu Da was a little distracted, and he said: "You say, the third child got so many fish, did they sell them for money?"
"What, big brother, I'll tell you about literacy, why are you telling me about fish? How do I know? I didn't sell this fish. Didn't you see my mother say, this is a woman's fat powder money, and we men can't mix it. ”
Zhu Da glanced at Zhu Er and felt that the second brother was a little stupid. Regardless of whether it is fat powder money or not, you must first have money.
Last night, he saw his mother-in-law secretly hiding the money bag, and his mother-in-law helped make tofu and pick fruits, and must have made a lot of money.
"What's the matter, why do you look at me like this?" Zhu Er was puzzled.
"Did your mother-in-law hide money behind your back?"
"Ah, how do I know this? My family, you don't know, you can't beat a fart with a stick, I don't want to talk to her at all. ”
"Your mother-in-law helps make tofu and dried fish every day, do you think they will not share her money?" Zhu Da said, "You don't care, what if your mother-in-law takes the money back to her parents' house? You forgot that last time your mother-in-law stole sweet potatoes from the house, and let you find out." ”
"Big brother, be quiet, don't let your mother hear. Zhu Er hurriedly glanced around, "Although this mother-in-law is a little unlikable, I don't want to be like the third child, even the mother-in-law is gone, that's really miserable." I don't know what my mother thinks, but the third child finally fooled a woman with a good family background to be a mother-in-law, and gave her a break. ”
"Mother doesn't like people to go against her, the third family is too much. ”
