Chapter 23: Murder is coming
However, according to Lu Jiaojiao's understanding, there are no bricks in this dynasty, and ordinary people use soil embryos to build houses, which are fragile, unable to withstand exposure to the sun and heavy rain, and it is a problem to live for a few years.
Wealthy people will choose wooden structures, but the better the wood, the more expensive it is, and the more craftsmen are needed.
According to the population of their family, one room per person is five rooms, and if you add the warehouse and kitchen, it will be seven or eight.
If such a house is built, if you don't want to buy some furniture and decoration on the four walls, it will cost more than 200 taels of silver.
Now, she goes to the street to sell pork, only more than 300 yuan a day, and the most important thing is that she has more than 200 catties of pork in her hands at most, and this business will be over if she sells it out.
It seems that she still needs to find a long-term silver deal, otherwise it will be difficult to live even if she lives not to mention the house.
Lu Jiaojiao was thinking about it while adding firewood.
The pork was divided into two pots, and a total of more than 50 catties of meat were marinated, and today's more than 20 catties were sold out quickly, so the fifty catties she brought tomorrow will probably be sold out soon.
……
The next day, the sun poured through the dilapidated eaves overhead into the firewood room.
Lu Jiaojiao got up in a daze, and when she was about to wash her face with a basin of water, she suddenly saw a big face in the basin, and her heart sank.
She pinched the flesh on her face, and patted her big belly again, it stands to reason that it is strange, this Zaoli Village is not rich, and the Lu family is not having a good time, how is she lucky enough to be fat like this?
And she has deliberately controlled her food in the past few days, and she feels hungry with her chest sticking to her back, but the number of pounds has not dropped at all, which is not scientific.
She sighed, scratched the reflection in the basin a little frustratedly, quickly rubbed her face, and went to the kitchen shed.
But at this moment, Shen Yao held on to the windowsill and forcibly exercised her legs, taking in all her movements.
His eyes are shining, women love beauty, she should also want to be like a flying swallow, slim and slim, right?
Just as he was thinking, the door of the big house was suddenly pushed open.
Lu Jiaojiao came in with breakfast, and when she saw that the wooden board had not been removed, Shen Yao, who was standing on the ground, couldn't help but be stunned.
Looking at each other, Lu Jiaojiao's eyes gradually ignited with anger, and she grinded her teeth and said, "What's the matter with you?" ”
Shen Yao opened her mouth, and just when she didn't know where her anger came from, she saw Lu Jiaojiao put the plate on the table, walked in front of him, and set him up to the side of the bed without much effort.
Shen Yao: "......" She has a lot of strength.
Lu Jiaojiao's eyes were full of displeasure, and she carefully examined his wound, "Fortunately, the wound is not torn." ”
She breathed a sigh of relief and glared at Shen Yao: "If you want to keep paralyzing on the bed and say a word, I will directly chop your leg with a knife, and you will save yourself the difficulty." ”
She didn't speak well, but she tried to keep the volume down, not wanting to wake the children.
"You ......" Shen Yao opened his lips, and Lu Jiaojiao interrupted him:
"What am I? Do you know that you have broken your muscles and bones for 100 days? You look like a scholar, and you don't seem to understand the truth, why do you have to toss? ”
Lu Jiaojiao pinched her waist, completely ignoring Shen Yao's dark face, if you are not a well-behaved patient, you have to train him to be obedient and let him know how to cooperate.
After she finished speaking, she looked at Shen Yao: "Not convinced? ”
Shen Yao took a deep breath and warned himself that a good man would not fight with a woman, although she didn't like what she said, she cared about his injury.
Seeing that Shen Yao didn't speak, Lu Jiaojiao continued: "I have finished the meal, you tell the children to eat it, you ask them to eat it, I will heat your medicine in the pot, and when Lan'er wakes up, ask him to serve it to you." ”
Lu Jiaojiao didn't wait for Shen Yao to respond, put on her back and went out.
She is also a big injustice physique, and when she comes to serve the small, she can earn money, and she has to take care of a disobedient patient.
Tomorrow the man will not obey again, and she will simply tie him to the bed until the leg injury is healed.
Today, there are not many women in the village who go to the county seat to sell things, but they can also be a companion with Lu Jiaojiao.
Talking and laughing, I arrived at the stall.
As soon as the braised meat was laid out, she saw the lady who bought two pieces of meat yesterday and said, "Little sister-in-law, your meat is really good, bring me two more pieces." ”
"Okay, thank you for patronizing my business, there is still a piece of pork liver left here, take it back and drink it for my uncle."
After Lu Jiaojiao finished speaking, she quickly picked up the pork and pork liver into the old lady's bowl.
The old lady said she was embarrassed when she saw this, but she couldn't close her mouth with a smile on her face.
Before he was about to leave with the basket, he said, "You wait, I'll go back and talk to the neighbors and let them all come and buy it." ”
Lu Jiaojiao smiled, regardless of whether what the old lady said was true or not, she nodded and responded: "Cheng, thank you Auntie." ”
Xu heard that her stall was lively, and the people around her who bought vegetables and sold meat all looked at her, and at this moment, she only heard a "knock" sound not far away, and then a disdainful voice came out:
"Zuo is just a piece of cheap meat, how good can it be?"
Hearing this, Lu Jiaojiao glanced at the source of the sound slightly, and saw that it was the proprietress of the pork stall selling pork on the side who said this, so she didn't want to speak.
She knew that the proprietress had a stall where raw pork was sold for eight cents, and the wild boar meat she marinated here was only twelve cents, which did have a little impact on people's business.
It's just that sometimes you want to take a step back and open the sky, but others only think you are a good person and can be bullied.
"Huh...... Dare to do the business that harms others and benefits yourself, but you don't dare to open your mouth to speak, but you are really a bad seed. ”
As she spoke, the proprietress pulled out the kitchen knife that had been nailed into the board just now, and shouted while sharpening:
"Come and see, the fresh pork that was killed this morning, don't you try to buy the meat of someone I don't know who you don't know at a low price, and you will eat it when you go back......
"No matter how bad the business of the proprietress is, you don't have to shout for others, right? It's cheap to buy your meat, yes! The proprietress looked at the fact that there were not many taels of meat on her body, and she couldn't earn a few silver back if she sold it for eight cents, right? ”
Lu Jiaojiao interrupted the proprietress's words, cool and sarcastic.
When the proprietress heard this, she immediately glared, picked up the kitchen knife and pointed at Lu Jiaojiao and said, "Who do you say is cheap?" Do you have a reason to rob business? ”
"Stealing business? If you think it's unfair, you reduce the price, five cents a pound, then I'll give everyone a sample to buy two catties? ”
Lu Jiaojiao said, looking at the excitement and said, "Do you say it?" ”
"Five cents? That's something you can buy. ”
"Is it really five cents? I'll also come with two pounds. ”
Everyone asked the proprietress one after another, and some people even stepped forward to pull the pork on the proprietress stall, as if they were going to choose a piece.
Seeing this, the proprietress hurriedly went to the stall, protected the pork under her, and said hurriedly: "My pork also has a cost, and five cents is the purchase price, and it can't be sold if it can't be sold." ”
"That's it, you can't sell it, it's your business, how can you blame me for a bad business?" Lu Jiaojiao reprimanded.
"You ......" The proprietress found that she couldn't say anything about Lu Jiaojiao, her fingertips trembled angrily, and she walked towards Lu Jiaojiao with a knife.
Seeing this, everyone gasped and dodged: "This is?" Going to kill? ”
