When Lu Yu returned to Chen's house with rice noodles, he rebrewed a few cans of rice wine, and in the hut on the east side, there was the sound of reading in the dusty and clear air.

Lu Yu was relieved in his heart, and was about to go to Chen's kitchen to cook some porridge for him to drink, when a scolding voice came from outside the courtyard: "Damn, my luck is really bad today, and all the money in my hand has been lost!"

As soon as the words fell, a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks came in, and he was stunned when he saw Lu Yu: "Who is this girl of yours, why haven't I seen you?"

"I ......" Before Lu Yu finished speaking, the man heard the sound of reading in the room, and frowned: "Why did the eldest sister come back with Achen again?"

It turned out to be Chen Chuan, Ah Chen's uncle, Lu Yu wanted to explain who he was, but he didn't want Chen Chuan to ignore him directly, so he got up and went into the kitchen to find food.

Seeing this, Lu Yu didn't say anything more.

Until the evening, the old couple of the Chen family came back from outside, Chen San brought back a grass carp, handed it to Widow Shu to go to the kitchen to stew a pot of fish soup, and steamed a pot of fragrant steamed buns.

When Widow Shu came to the table with the food, the Chen family waited early, Chen Chuan couldn't wait to take a chopstick and taste the fish, and couldn't help but say: "The fish stew is old, sister, your cooking skills are getting worse and worse after you get married." ”

Widow Shu smiled embarrassedly: "Mother, can the fish eyeballs be left for Ah Chen? ”

"What kind of books do country boys read?" Chen Yaoshi said impatiently: "Don't come to this set, didn't Li Xiaojiu say that she will take care of your mother's food? Don't come to us for us!"

Widow Shu pulled down her face and grinded it hard, and finally Chen Chuan gave her a steamed bun and took it back to the room.

Widow Shu divided the steamed bun into two, and her face was ashamed: "Ah Chen, Xiao Jiu, you two have divided this steamed bun." ”

"I'm not hungry, you and Xiao Jiu can eat. ”

"I've been reading a book for a day, how can I not be hungry?" Widow Shu endured her saliva and said, "Eat quickly!"

Lu Yu didn't expect Widow Shu to think about herself, her heart warmed, she took out rice noodles from the kang cave and said: "You guys eat, when the Chen family sleeps, I'll go to the kitchen to cook some porridge to drink, and tomorrow I'll go to the county seat and watch to buy some fish and meat." ”

When Widow Shu heard this, she said uneasily: "Xiao Jiu, how much silver do you still have on you?" ”

"I have counted. Lu Yu said, got up and came to the yard, saw Chen Chuan looking back and forth in front of her horse, and said with a smile: "Uncle, can you find me some food for this horse?"

It can be seen that Chen San really likes this horse, although he was impatient, he still lazily left the hospital, and after a while, he came back with a handful of yams.

Lu Yu was stunned: "You use this Huaishan to feed the horses?"

"Huaishan? This thing is called Huaishan? There is a piece of land growing on the wasteland outside our village, and I don't know what it is, so if we don't use it to feed the pigs and horses, will it be difficult to give it back to people?"

Lu Yu didn't expect that these people didn't know this thing, and after Chen San went back to his room to sleep, he hurriedly came to the outside of Lotus Village with a bamboo basket on his back, and he didn't expect that a large area of Huai Mountain would really grow.

Lu Yu smiled, it is really an endless road, with these things, you can make a small profit again.

After Lu Yu picked a basket full of Huaishan and returned to Chen's house, the lights of Chen's house had been turned off, and Lu Yu came to the kitchen to cook something to eat, but found that the kitchen door was locked.

Lu Yu glanced at the main house, Chen San and Chen Yao were afraid that they would eat secretly

It was the first time that Lu Yu saw his daughter's grandson and a thief-like person, so he couldn't help but shake it helplessly.

When I returned to the room, I saw that Shu Chen's mother and son had not slept yet, Shu Chen sat on the kang and read by the dim oil lamp, and the Shu widow sat cross-legged on the kang and held the sewing basket to make the unfinished clothes for her.

Seeing such an ordinary and warm picture, Lu Yu's heart warmed, and when Widow Shu saw her come in, she smiled and said, "Xiao Jiu, where have you been?"

"Feed the horses. ”

"Oh, you may not be able to cook tonight, I just heard my mother lock the kitchen. ”

A disdainful smile appeared in Lu Yu's eyes: "Borrow your needle and use it." ”

Lu Yu took the needle, easily picked the lock of the kitchen, cooked some white porridge, and after a few Huaishan, he grabbed a handful of white sugar from the kitchen of the Chen family and sprinkled it on Huaishan, and returned to the room with it.

"Auntie, Ah Chen, eat quickly. ”

Widow Shu was stunned: "Can this thing be eaten? Also, how did you get into the kitchen?"

"You'll know if you taste it. ”

Lu Yu smiled, and said in her heart that such a little trick would not be difficult for her now, after all, she had faced the situation of hunger more than once, in addition to looking for food everywhere, she also practiced the ability to pick locks by sliding doors.

Widow Shu didn't ask any more, and suspiciously picked up Huaishan and tasted it, only to feel that the entrance was sweet and soft, and hurriedly pulled Shu Chen to eat together.

"I really can't imagine that this thing is so delicious when cooked, it used to be used to feed pigs and cattle in the village, it's a pity, Xiao Jiu, how did you find out that this thing can be eaten?"

"I tasted it when I was curious, but I didn't expect it to be delicious, I took it to the county seat tomorrow, maybe I can sell it for some silver." ”

Widow Shu took her hand and said movingly: "Xiao Jiu, I didn't like you at first, but now it seems that Hu Banxian is really right, you are really the lucky star of our mother, and when we go back to Shu's house, others can say whatever they like, you and Chen'er can get married." ”

"Ahem, let's talk about this later. ”

Shu Chen glanced at her lightly, and did not answer with a calm face.

After a brief dinner, Lu Yu relocked the kitchen door as if nothing had happened.

The next day, the Chen family probably still had some conscience and sent some food to Shu Chen's mother's room, but they didn't have Lu Chen's share.

Lu Yu didn't think so, boiled a pot of Huaishan in the kitchen, put it in the carriage with a bunch of raw ones, and drove to the county seat early in the morning.

When I came to the street to sell, someone was quickly attracted: "Little girl, what are you selling?"

"This is called Huaishan, you can eat it when it is cooked, and it can also be used to make snacks, you can taste it. ”

Lu Yu broke a small piece and gave it to the woman to taste, and the woman showed a novel expression and hurriedly bought two catties.

With this beginning, passers-by were gradually attracted to come, and in less than a morning, the Huaishan Mountain was sold out.

Lu Yu closed the stall and was about to go shopping for something, when someone behind her suddenly stopped her: "Girl?"

Lu Yu turned her head, and the person who came was the first arrogant guy she and Ah Chen met on the day they sold wine, but at this time, the guy's expression was already the same as that day, and his face was full of flattery.

"What's the matter?"

"Girl, do you still sell alcohol?"

"Of course. ”

"Great, how much do you sell, our family wants it, I remember it's eighty copper plates a pot, right?"

Seeing this, Lu Yu knew that his own method had worked, looking at the guy in front of him, Lu Yu was not annoyed by what had happened before, and said lightly: "I'm sorry, the price of wine has risen, if you want to buy it, two taels of silver a pot." ”
