Chapter 048: Everything Revives
(Ask for collections, ask for recommendations, ask for support!) )
Da Lang is different, no one can bully the temperament, he doesn't look too bad on weekdays, he is not short, and he looks good with a kind of caution that makes people want to bully.
This...... Are you sure it's a good match for Fat Chun?
Besides, Li Dalang, although he has no ability and his brain is average, this guy admits death. And he also knows how to repay the favor. He heard from Li Hong that the county order had plans to accept Li Kui as a disciple, and immediately thought of repaying his kindness. It's a pity that he has no property to fund Zhou Yuan to achieve political achievements, and he has no talent to give Zhou Yuan advice.
Thinking about it, only the little food fried chestnuts with sugar can be talked about.
As soon as the first sugar-fried chestnuts in Dalang's fried food shop came out, he was carried by him and sent to the county office. Zhou Yuan can't be stammered, he is an official, he is a Jinshi master, how can he be seen by a flat-headed person?
But I couldn't see Zhou Yuan, and so did Xu Bo, the old servant of the Zhou family.
Every day, a steaming sugar fried chestnut was delivered to Xu Bo's hands without being moved.
After going back and forth, Xu Bo also had a good impression of Li Dalang. This kind of goodwill comes from Li Dalang's timidity and kindness, timidity is good, it is enough for his daughter to be bold, and it is even better to be kind, is it better to find a black-hearted son-in-law to let him live in fear in his old age?
Xu Bo likes Da Lang more and more, but unfortunately there is no matchmaker, and Li Kui's wife is nowhere to be found, which makes the old man sad. I'm afraid that someone like Li Dalang and other good sons-in-law will take the lead. In addition, Li Dalang's business in the fried food shop is really good, he has calculated that according to Li Dalang's diligence and the prosperity of the fried food shop, he can make consistent money at least one day.
A day is consistent, a month is thirty.
One year ...... Although the roast shop can't do business for a year, it can always do it in four or five months, right?
At the very least, it is more than 100 business. Much better than the average food shop.
I couldn't wait, Xu Bo, who was afraid of waiting for Huang, found Li Kui, but scared Li Kui half to death. He didn't have an opinion on Fat Chun, but he really didn't want to find a burly woman to be a virtuous helper.
The person who listened to Xu Bo's attention was Da Lang, so he put his heart down and said that he would go back to help ask.
After the roasted food shop closed, Li Kui watched the gobbling crowd in the courtyard, and the food was very simple and stewed. But it's nice to see the flesh. The rice is real millet rice, yellow and bright, and you have an appetite when you look at it. Li Hong, Li Lin, and Da Lang sat around the room and quickly pulled the food in the bowl into their mouths as if they were in trouble, and they saw that their throats were bulging, and when they fell, a small half bowl of rice fell into their stomachs.
When Li Kui walked into the yard, only Da Lang stood up and wanted to serve food to his brother, but he couldn't come to the house and let his brother starve.
Li Kui waved his hand and said, "I've eaten, how is the business lately?" ”
"Good! Originally, I really didn't expect this fried chestnut to be sold so expensive, but now many people in the county eat it every day. When it comes to business, Li Dalang has an indescribable satisfaction, this business was given by his brother, and it was also a business he founded single-handedly. Thinking that he could make a lot of money in a busy day, or even twice, he often woke up laughing in the middle of the night.
From now on, my mother will have an offering, Li Kui will apprentice under the county order, and the old Li family will not be far from the days of development.
At this time, Li Lin wanted to speak and stopped, but he was silent again: "Kui Wazi, this ......"
Li Kui blushed when he saw his clan uncle, and most of them already knew his thoughts. Nuzui said to Li Hong: "Fifth uncle, seventh uncle, what's wrong?" ”
Li Hong put down the dishes and chopsticks, had no intention of eating, and sighed: "Kui Wazi, it stands to reason that this business is yours, and we have already been a lot of light as uncles." The village also thanks to you, as the New Year approaches, every household has some spare money, you can pull a little cloth, make new clothes, and everyone can have a good year. ”
"But you also know the situation in the village, everyone has no money to spare, and they are all poor, and suddenly they see a way to make money, and everyone wants to give it a try. You can rest assured, they will never rob Dalang's business, they are going to go to other counties, five counties in Yizhou, dozens of counties on Jingdong Road, enough for the people of Baizhang Village to have a livelihood to live by. ”
Speaking of this, Li Hong was embarrassed to get up, and secretly glanced at Li Kui, only to find that the demon king of Baizhang Village showed no signs of anger, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Kui is very calm, he doesn't care about the business of speculation, this is just Da Lang's temporary livelihood.
It's easy to steal this thing, and it won't be long before smart people will see the way out. He was curious why the people in the village had an idea, but Li Hong and Li Lin were still here to help? Instead, he didn't take people to go outside to beg for a living?
Li Kui asked, "Fifth uncle, you can go when you have made up your mind." I have no complaints, I can let Da Lang teach you hand in hand, this is a good thing, not a bad thing. Only when everyone has a good life, the descendants of Baizhang Village can be better. He didn't believe that Li Lin and Li Hong didn't know the recipe for fried chestnuts with sugar, because the recipe was just the same thing - sugar. It is possible for Li Dalang to do things behind the back of outsiders, but with them behind his back, I am afraid that he really can't do it.
In addition, Li Lin is also the master of the spirit in the village, how could he not know the formula?
He saw through it, but he didn't break it, and he took care of everyone's face.
Li Lin squatted on the ground angrily, hugged his head and said: "But his father's old stubbornness is not allowed, not only is it not allowed, but it also forces us to swear to our ancestors, do you say that people are angry?" ”
The old stubborn that Li Lin said was naturally the third uncle of the old patriarch.
Li Kui could probably guess this person's thoughts, mainly because he was afraid that once everyone was scattered, it would be difficult to get together again. I don't agree, and not only that, but I also force everyone to make an oath, which is a bit excessive.
Li Kui thought about it, but there was no good way, so he had to talk to the mud and said to Li Lin: "I'll go to the third uncle to ask another day." ”
Li Lin was overjoyed when he heard this: "Kui Wazi, as soon as possible, this business will be done for half a year." ”
Li Kui made an excuse and pulled Li Dalang into the wing. After Li Lin and Li Hong looked at each other, they were a little apprehensive, they were acting as villains for the whole village. Especially to recognize the secret recipe, who said that they all know the secret recipe, but without Li Kui's consent, what is the difference between grabbing and grabbing?
The rural morality of the Song Dynasty was very strict, and the requirements for private morality were very high. Of course, this is for the bureaucracy, and there is not much restraint on the ordinary people. But an ordinary person, if he really fails to be virtuous, will be despised and neglected by everyone around him.
Li Lin said nervously: "Old Seven, do you think Kui Wazi will be dissatisfied with me?" ”
"Why?" Li Hong pretended to be stupid.
Li Lin glared and said, "Why do you say?" ”
Li Hong thought for a while and sighed: "We are all elders, so we can't help, and we are still eating and drinking the food that Dalang earns." They were still thinking about their brother's livelihood. It's really unbearable, but I don't think Kui Wazi will be angry. ”
Li Hong glanced at Li Lin, who was only a few months older than him, with disdain, and then thought of being embarrassed, why did he go earlier?
But he still admires Li Kui's character very much, at least in terms of money, Li Kui has never given people a sense of greed.
"How is that possible?" Li Lin said that he did not believe it, and he was the most scheming person in the village. Of course, this kind of scheming and doing evil are two different things, that is, they will calculate in their hearts, and they will not calculate their clansmen, but they will weigh the pros and cons and choose a situation that is beneficial to themselves. And he still has a lot of prestige in the village, but in front of the third uncle, he is a scumbag.
Li Hong said with a smile: "Old Five, Kui Wazi's temper is not good, and the little cubs in the village are bullied enough by him." Even if it's you and me, we're the ones who dare to do it, if we don't have the same knowledge as him......"
Li Lin smiled bitterly: "That's because you can't beat him." ”
"If I can't make it, will you become it?" Li Hong said disdainfully: "None of us are his opponents. To say that this kid is really good at martial arts, I didn't expect that he is still studying now, and his temper is much better. But Lao Wu, have you ever seen Li Kui do it every time he does it with someone because of money? ”
"Didn't you?" Li Lin recalled for a while and found that his mind was blank.
It's really like what Li Hong said, Li Kui doesn't care about money. In the past, the reason why Li Kui made trouble made people cry and laugh.
For example, to see who is not pleasing to the eye.
I'm wearing torn clothes, how dare you wear new clothes?
Master has itchy hands today, the first thing I met was you, count you unlucky.
But this guy doesn't seem to care about money forever, if according to his ability, even if he is nested in the mountains and forests of Baizhang Village, Li Kui can become the richest man in Baizhang Village in a very short time. Even the richest man in Mengshan Town is not difficult. But he was willing to leave the good skin to the Zhang family, and the good meat to entertain the foolish brothers in the village, and did not see him go to exchange money.
After all, wild meat is more expensive than pigs and sheep in captivity, and the beasts in the mountains and forests are almost helpless against Li Kui. He wanted to eat that beast, and he couldn't escape his clutches.
In the east wing, Li Kui and Li Dalang looked at each other like this, Li Kui didn't know how to speak, Li Dalang was sitting on the threshold and ready to escape at any time, he didn't know if he had offended his brother, and his face seemed to be very unkind. But he felt even more uncomfortable when he didn't speak, so he thought of a recent news on the street: "Brother, have you heard? ”
"What?"
"Beef, I heard that there have been sick cattle in the county recently, and there has been an accident, and some people have already died of illness." Li Dalang's chattering appearance is quite itchy, you are a big man, like a resentful woman who chews her tongue on the street, what kind of trouble are you going to make?
Li Kui said with a calm face: "Don't chew your tongue, how much credibility does it have?" You just have to do your business, and when the spring comes, your business will be almost over, and then you will think about it. ”
Li Dalang said confidently: "Brother, don't think about it, my brother has already thought about it." When the chestnuts were gone, I rented a piece of official land around the county seat, planted some grain, and collected more and less in one place. ”
"Don't go!" Li Kui didn't think that his family finally came out of Baizhang Village, and finally became a farmer, but when this inconspicuous thing was busy, let him help, did he go or not?
Not going?
Scoundrel, delicious and lazy to do.
Go!
I feel angry when I think about it, he is a tiger hero, and now he has been a scholar for more than half a month, how can he go to farming?
The atmosphere was awkward and dull for a while, and after a long time, Li Kui asked, "Brother, how old are you?" ”
"You're stupid! I'm seven years older than you, and now I'm twenty-one......" Li Dalang said casually, he saw that Li Kui didn't look like he was going to beat him, and the tension in his heart suddenly went down by more than half.
"Is there a match?"
Li Kui felt very embarrassed, he was a hairy child who was only a teenager on the outside, and he cared about his brother's marriage, would you have thoughts about your sister-in-law?
But Li Dalang smiled and said: "In the past, the family was poor like that, who dared to say goodbye to our family?" However, since the business of the fried food shop has been booming, there have been many matchmakers who want to say goodbye to me recently. But I was rejected, I thought about telling you a daughter-in-law first, so that I could inherit the Li family, and then think about being a brother. ”
After speaking, Li Dalang lowered his head embarrassedly, as if there was a kind of shameless shyness, just like a man began to think about women, which is a sin of moral corruption. In this situation, if it were a delicate little lady, it would be okay, you are a rude man, and you still make this kind of gesture, Li Kui glanced at his chest and was a little uncontrollable, it was too unappetizing.
Angry, Li Kui was about to explode on the spot.
"You don't have to worry about my affairs, and you are not allowed to interfere, otherwise you will be unkind to you." As soon as Li Dalang's words opened, Li Kui was angry, this thing simply doesn't know what to do, he wants to interfere in his marriage, is it because his skin is itchy?
"But ......"
"No, but. You are not allowed to interfere in my affairs, if you dare to find a matchmaker behind my back, go back and let Li Quan clean you up. By the way, don't promise the matchmaker recently, the business will stop during the Chinese New Year, and find a day to meet someone. Li Kui stood up, he also wondered, why was he always angry with Da Lang?
Da Lang asked, "Who is it?" ”
"Woman, a year younger than you, is a cook. If you like it or not, go home and say to me, I don't like it, I have rejected someone. After Li Kui finished speaking, he threw off his clothes and left the courtyard. He really couldn't have a good chat with Li Dalang.
Li Lin and Li Hong came up and asked nervously: "It's all right, why are you arguing?" ”
Li Dalang said shyly: "My brother told me a Nizi, but I was afraid, the two uncles ......"
Li Lin and Li Hong both waved their hands, their heads shaking like rattles: "We can't help you with this!" ”
