Chapter 1034: Famine, Natural Disasters 191
"It's back, the family is waiting for you."
The voice of yin and yang weirdness came from the direction of Li Lianhua, the voice was immature with grievances and resentment, and you didn't need to look at it to know who it was.
Cheng Dazhu glanced over, "The meal was just set, have you waited for a long time?" ”
Cheng Mingyue's neck shrank, where could he see the ability of the onmyoji.
Li Lianhua hung her head beside her, and Cheng Yuandong reluctantly spoke, "Third brother, third brother and sister, sit down quickly." ”
"Hmm." Cheng Yuanxi sat in the position of their third room without squinting.
After Chen Daya sat down, she didn't forget to glance at Cheng Mingyue, her eyes were like looking at an idiot; Fortunately, Cheng Mingyue shrank her head and didn't dare to raise her head, pretending to be dead very thoroughly.
"Mingli, Yiyi, I heard that you are playing outside, what are you playing?" Cheng Yuandong asked with a smile.
Seeing that Cheng Mingyue pouted and was unhappy, and was so aggrieved, Mingyi was happy and laughed.
"Happy, Mama Zhao and Mama Rong taught me and my brother to skate, the ice by the river is very thick, and I am very happy when skating, and my heart is flying with it."
Cheng Mingli nodded, he had a deep understanding of this, especially when he was running light work, it was to play with flowers, "Ice skating is very fun, cousins and sisters-in-law can also try it, and if you have nothing to do at home, you can go outside to move your body bones." ”
When he said this, Cheng Mingyi didn't react, maybe he was too old to love to play; Cheng Minglian and Cheng Mingxin were interested.
"Mingli, etiquette, is it really that fun?" Cheng Mingxin asked.
Cheng Minglian echoed and asked, "Yes, it's really so fun?" Won't you fall? ”
"If you have the know-how, you won't fall if you have balance." Mingyi explained their confusion, "It's very simple, Mama Zhao and Mama Rong didn't teach me for a long time to learn, and so did my brother." ”
Cheng Mingli: My sister saves me face, good person!
"Is it really that studious?" Cheng Mingxin expressed his disbelief, "Otherwise, you will teach us to learn in the afternoon?" ”
Mingyi was about to nod when she suddenly remembered something, "You don't have skates." ”
"Dad, how many pairs should you buy?" Cheng Mingxin turned his head and went to pester his father.
"Alright, let's feed first." Cheng Yuannan lowered his eyes, as if he didn't see his son's desire.
Mingyi and Mingli glanced at each other and smiled.
Cheng Mingxin stopped talking.
"Eat, I'll talk about it after I have something to eat." After Cheng Dazhu finished speaking, he held a chopstick dish; After Luo Cuihua also moved the chopsticks, the others picked up the chopsticks one after another.
The food on the table was sumptuous, there was fish and meat, and Mingyi ate quite comfortably.
Fill your stomach, the family should clean up the mess and go to help, and the juniors who are okay get together.
"Yiyi, let's go to Fucheng in a while and buy skates." After Cheng Mingxin finished speaking, he subconsciously looked at Cheng Yuannan, who was sitting at the table talking to Cheng Dazhu, Cheng Yuandong, and Cheng Yuanxi, that is, his own father, "Dad, get us some silver later." ”
Cheng Yuannan's fists tightened, "If you want to eat fart, how many times can you play with skates?" ”
"As long as it's not bad, you can play every year, isn't it?" He writes the desire on his face, he just wants to play.
Cheng Yuanxi said: "Yiyi, how much silver is a pair of skates?" ”
"Two halves of silver a pair, listen to the shopkeeper, the bottom of the skates is made of iron, iron is precious, and the price is more expensive."
Coupled with the workmanship of the whole shoe, it is really worth two and a half.
In addition to the cost of materials, the processing fee of others must be calculated, and the boss must also be counted if he wants to earn a little; Buying and selling must have a little profit, so that people can do business.
"Two halves of silver is too expensive." Cheng Yuannan hurriedly shook his head and refused, "Don't think about it, if you really want to play, you can buy it yourself with money." ”
Cheng Yuandong didn't speak, and agreed with the second brother's words.
How many brothers do they have, do you want a daughter-in-law? Does the daughter-in-law have Cheng Mingyue's daughter?
If you really want to calculate it, that's a lot of money.
"Dad, two halves is not too much! My brother and I will make a good amount of money. Cheng Mingxin stepped forward and said, "Two and a half are my advance, and I will definitely earn them back and hand them over to you." ”
Cheng Yuannan still didn't let go, "Where are you going to make money?" ”
"There are people in need of help in Fucheng! Let's go to Fucheng and have a look. ”
"I think it's beautiful, how long has our family been here, and people must use locals first." Cheng Yuannan is not as smart as the two brothers, but his brain is still enough.
When people hear that the accent is from outside, they may not necessarily be used.
Cheng Yuandong thought so too.
Cheng Yuanxi was thinking about how to find a job with an income, pick up the books, and study for two years to participate in the imperial examination; After coming to the Northwest, he discovered the importance of fame.
Speaking of which, it's hard to find a profitable business.
An idea came to Mingyi's mind, "Grandfather, uncle, second uncle, father, I have an idea here; However, I need you to buy some things for me and come back, I have to test it, and if it does, our family can make a lot of money. ”
"What can you do to make money?" Cheng Yuanxi was not angry.
"Dad, when did your daughter tell a lie?"
Cheng Yuanxi nodded after hearing this, "That's really not, do you really have an idea?" ”
"Yes!" She said it categorically.
Cheng Mingli believed it, and Cheng Mingyi was skeptical.
Cheng Dazhu's eyes changed, and he didn't speak.
Cheng Yuandong and Cheng Yuannan have the same idea as his father, what can the little girl do to make a lot of money? Don't coax them into paying for skates for a few kids.
"Then try it, tell my dad what you need, and my dad will sting you." Cheng Yuan West Road.
"Let's have lard first." Thinking of a simple soap recipe, she decided to try it and make other ones when she had experience.
Cheng Yuanxi's eyes widened, "As long as the lard?" ”
"For the time being, just lard."
"Okay, I'll go to Fucheng in a while to see if there's any."
Cheng Yuanxi agreed happily, Cheng Dazhu listened to his granddaughter's demand and asked for a few silver coins, so he didn't stop them and went with them.
The same is true for Cheng Yuandong and Cheng Yuannan.
Cheng Mingyi was confused, "What does Yiyi want lard for?" Cooking? ”
"I'll know when my dad brings it back, and now I'm going to prepare, by the way, a few cousins will do some simple carpentry work; Help me make a few abrasives and make them into palm-sized wooden frames. ”
The four brothers of Cheng Mingyi didn't know what she was going to do, but they didn't refuse; I did as she said, but fortunately, the tools for making tables, chairs and stools at home were well preserved, and the wood at home was ready-made.
They were busy, and Mingyi was not idle, filtering the lye in the ashes of the plants and trees in advance.
Cheng Mingli was helping on the side, and the brother and sister were quick to do it together.
Cheng Yuanxi said to Cheng Dazhu, and asked his wife Chen Daya to take 300 copper plates and went to Fucheng.
In the middle of the afternoon, no one went out to play, they were all busy; It was only in the evening that Cheng Yuanxi returned, carrying half a piece of lard in his hand, which he had been looking for for a long time and asking many people before he bought it at a butcher's house.
