In a daze, Ye woke up from the sound of chickens, and when he saw that the sky was dark, he got up in a panic to cook breakfast.

Suddenly, she looked around, and couldn't help patting her forehead and smirking, it turned out that she was no longer in the Chu family's compound, but in the old mansion, which was her new home.

Not only did the Ye family have this reaction, but even Chu Youde and San Lang did the same. Without Du Pozi's annoying scolding, endless farm work and housework, the three of them suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, the three of them are all diligent people, and they quickly found things to keep them busy, after all, they moved home, and there were too many places to clean up.

Fortunately, Captain Li brought a few people over early in the morning to help.

"Thank you, village chief grandpa, you remember to come over tonight and have a few drinks with everyone!" Chu Congrong was fiddling with the ten buckets of potato pulp outside, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Okay, it's simple, just moved over and have to put everything in place, don't waste it too much."

Village Chief Li happily agreed, and through yesterday's events, he began to look at this little girl differently.

Chu Congrong looked at the ten buckets in front of him, and was extremely happy in his heart, this was the first time she had told Chu Youde to move in. It is easy to make starch from cassava or sweet potato, as long as it is ground into a pulp and soaked in water for 24 hours, the resulting sediment is dried and starch.

Although it was not yet twenty-four hours, it was almost the same, and after a night, the slurry still changed, the upper part became clear water, and the bottom part of the barrel precipitated a thick layer of substance, Chu calmly grabbed a little with his hands, feeling a little heavy and very sticky. The brown precipitate was relatively small, indicating that the yield of sweet potato starch was low. There is a relatively large amount of white sediment, and cassava is indeed the highest starch content.

The next job is to dry the sediment, and what comes out is the starch you want, commonly known as cornstarch.

Chu calmly found a few dustpans, first poured out the water on the upper layer, and then poured out the remaining sediment, and found a place outside the house to spread out the cool. It's summer now, and the sun is so fierce, it's estimated that it will be dry in one afternoon.

Ye didn't know what his daughter was fiddling with, and seeing that she was finally done, he came over and said embarrassedly that the villagers didn't need to be paid to help with the work, but at least they had to entertain them for dinner. But I don't even have a decent pot at home, what should I do?

Chu thought about it calmly, asked her to find Aunt Niu to help her with some steamed steamed buns, and instructed San Lang to continue to buy a bigger chicken to make soup (the chicken shared by the family is too small), and the soup will be left for the daddy meat, anyway, the daddy can't eat it. At noon, I will deal with it simply, and after dinner, I will go to the town to buy vegetables, and I will come back with some necessities.

Buying something means spending money, Ye suddenly had a headache, but she still took out a tael of silver for her daughter, at least the big iron pot and water tank had to be added. She wanted to give it all to her daughter, but she was afraid that she would be too young to save all the flowers, and she would be in a dilemma.

Chu calmly saw her embarrassed appearance, and did not accept the silver handed by her, so he left her with more peace of mind. She plans to take all the money she earns first, and buy as much as she can, although it is not a polder day, maybe she can find a chance to earn more.

As soon as the twins heard that she was going to the street, they deliberately stopped and looked at it with live eyes, how could Chu Congrong be separated from this pair of small protectors. Niu Xiaohua happened to come over and wanted to help, and when she heard it, she also wanted to follow, but Chu Congrong didn't say much, took her hand and left. Anyway, putting two sheep is put, and putting three is also put.

Just when the four of them rushed to the town, a person who looked like a subordinate walked into the Dragon Dog Den Village and went straight to the courtyard of the Chu family.

"May I ask about this Chu family?"

Everyone in the Chu family thought it was a debt collector, Chu Youwen hid in the house and didn't dare to show his head, Du Pozi said angrily to the visitor: "It's so early to collect a debt, it's like rushing to reincarnate!" Bring the IOU, we don't recognize it without it! ”

The person who came looked confused, what IOU?

"Is Chu Wuya at home?"

Du Pozi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that she was looking for that cheap girl. She suddenly said loudly: "What five girls and six girls, there is no such person here!" Look elsewhere! ”

When the man heard this, he had to walk away stupidly, muttering in his heart that he had clearly seen this place before, why did he say that there was no such person in just a few days? Did you read it wrong?

Chu Youwen dared to show his head when he saw people walking away, and the others Wen Xun also walked out.

Chu Youwen asked, "Mother, what did that person do just now?"

Du Pozi sneered: "He said he was looking for that cheap girl, what do you think he can do?"

"It must be a debt collection, otherwise there is something else!"

"So fast! Fortunately, my mother is not slow, and I am still wise! ”

"This kind of harmful spirit, this family was almost destroyed by her! Fortunately, my mother made a timely move, otherwise the whole family would have to sleep in the haystack! ”

"What will happen to the third child in a while?"

"What else, the things I just got in my hand yesterday haven't been covered with heat, so I have to spit it all out! I don't know what my dad thinks, I'm blind! ”

"Yes, according to me, you shouldn't give a penny of silver, and you can't give so much land, how can a family of lowly people keep it!"

"They can't afford it, and the whole family must have been sold. Let's go over and see if we can get something back. If the third child is gone, it is better to collect a corpse for him. ”

While everyone sang praises to Du Pozi, they did not forget to gloat at Sanfang.

At this time, a hearty voice came from outside the hospital: "Haha, if you really read people know how to be polite, pay off a debt and pay so much attention to the sense of ceremony, the whole family is waiting for us Lao Zhou neatly in the morning, refreshing!" ”

Chu Youwen trembled when he heard this, and covered his hands tightly.

Du Pozi glared at him and shouted, "Why don't you go and ask your father to come out!" ”

Tomorrow is the polder day, so there are no people on the street, and the originally small Taiping Town has suddenly become very spacious. There were only a few pedestrians on the street, and a few children playing with them.

The twins are enthusiastic and looking around. Niu Xiaohua is also very excited, she is thirteen years old, and the number of times she has come to the town is less than a hand. Among the four people, only Chu Congrong's heart is cold, and there are few figures, what do you rely on to make money. Presumably, there must be someone in Dong'an Academy at this time, at the gate of the school. But if you meet someone surnamed Shen, you will be in trouble, and the local tyrant brother can't protect himself when he is not around.

It's still early, and I'm not in a hurry to buy things back, so I have the right to accompany Niu Xiaohua to go shopping.

Niu Xiaohua is a girl by nature, and she is naturally interested in jewelry and the like.

I can't afford gold, silver, jewelry, etc., and Niu Xiaohua doesn't dare to go in after passing through the jewelry store. The two didn't know anything about embroidery, and they didn't have much interest in embroidery shops. Finally passed by a jewelry store selling silk flowers and hairpins, and the two walked in.

There were not many customers in the store, only two young girls each led a maid. The two of them are dressed brightly, dressed in a luxurious manner, and they look like rich women. They were picking out hairpins, and from time to time they were joking softly.

"Xiao'e, you are so carefully dressed today, and you specially pulled me out to buy hairpins, what is the joy?"

"There can be any happy events, but there are bad things!" The woman called Xiao'e was sad: "My cousin was injured yesterday, and I will go with my mother to visit him in the afternoon." ”

"Oh, there are so many cousins, which one is worth your attention?"

"That's it...... Cousin of the Shen family. ”

"Shen Dashao? Isn't it badly hurt?"

"I don't know, I heard that ......" Xiao'e suddenly covered her nose, glanced behind her in disgust, and said loudly to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper Chen, why did you even let in any stinky beggars, they stinked to death!" ”

The shopkeeper also felt a strange smell, which came from the two little girls who came in from behind. One maid was dressed as a maid, the other was dressed shabby, obviously a poor girl from the countryside, and there was a sour smell on her body.

"Hurry up and get out, don't affect my business! Can you afford to disturb my guests?" The shopkeeper angrily chased people away.

Niu Xiaohua just glanced at the silk flower a few times, and was so frightened that she pulled Chu Congrong and wanted to run out. Chu Congrong didn't care very much, she also knew that the appearance of the two of them at this time was a little bad, but the conditions were like this, there was no way. Not only did I not take a bath last night, but I was bitten by mosquitoes, and I guess there are a lot of mosquitoes on my face.

"The visitor is a guest, do you treat the guest like this?"

Chu calmly glanced at the boss, a little angry. Although his appearance is poor, but doing business is about harmony and making money, why is the owner of this store so arrogant to catch up with customers?

"Lao Tzu doesn't do your business, you just hurry up! will make the nobles angry, Lao Tzu will not only drive you away, but also make you kneel down and beg for mercy from the nobles! ”

The shopkeeper angrily blasted them out, and just as a man came in from outside the store, he said to the little girl, "Little sister, have you bought it?" My mother is waiting for you to see Cousin Tongwang. ”

Chu Congrong originally wanted to quarrel with the shopkeeper, but when she heard this, she walked out happily, because she was 100% sure that something had happened to Shen Dashao. In this way, you can rest assured that you can try your luck at Dong'an Academy.

"Aren't you angry or sad?" Niu Xiao looked happy when she saw her, but she was frightened and couldn't help admiring her.

"Of course I'm angry, but it's all about making money right now! These little shrimps, when this girl makes a lot of money in the future, I will go back and clean them up one by one! Chu Congrong didn't want to say too much, and led the twins to find peanuts on the street, which made Niu Xiaohua confused.

It's not that almost no one picks peanuts to sell, and finally found a stall at the end of the street, almost twenty catties, and it just so happened that the old boy who wrote also moved the stall here.

"Little girl, what are you going to write this time?"

It's hard for Lao Tongsheng to remember Chu Congrong, before she bought all the eggs in the town in one day, and there was that domineering couplet, which was enough to make people impressive.

Chu smiled calmly, just write, at this stage, it's better to eat your brain and play with wisdom, and by the way, you can take care of Lao Tongsheng's business.

In this kind of poor town, in order to survive, everyone can break a penny into two petals to spend, where can there be extra spare money to spend. Like the first time I did the prize, I earned two or three hundred yuan. Therefore, Chu Congrong understands very well that if you want to make money, you have to find a reader.

Only those who read are rich, because the poor basically cannot afford to read.

The four of them carried more than a dozen catties of peanuts and came to the gate of Dong'an Academy with a light car. The owner of the bookstore was idling at the entrance of the store, and Chu calmly stepped forward to say hello. When the bookstore owner saw her, his face was full of grievances and dissatisfaction, this girl didn't help her sell a set of four treasures of the study room last time.

"Uncle boss, you're not the only one who sells the four treasures of the study, right? Has your business been better in the past two days than before?"

The bookstore owner thought about it, but no, there were a lot of students who came to inquire about the little girl's absence, and many people would come in to buy some things by the way.

"Uncle boss, you are a businessman, you should know that this is the popularity I brought to you, which will help your business. Would you like to give me some more space today?" There are not many peanuts today, Chu Congrong is not very worried, and if he can't do it, he will find another place.

"Oh, little girl, you're finally here!"

Without waiting for the bookstore owner to answer, several students passed by outside and greeted Chu calmly happily. Soon, more students rushed over when they heard the news.

The bookstore owner silently walked into the store, lifted a table for her, and walked away with a sense of humor.

"Little girl, you don't know that the academy is going crazy for the past two days!" Some students complained. It turned out that Chu Congrong left the chessboard to put rice problems, and left in a hurry without leaving an answer, and this matter spread in the academy at once. Everyone thought it wasn't just a matter of dozens of grains of rice, but what's so difficult about it. Some people calculated with a playful mentality, and the more they calculated, the more terrifying they became, and the calculation reached tens of thousands of dollars, which completely exceeded everyone's expectations, and they couldn't believe it.

Chu calmly asked if there was a calculation, and the students said that sixteen grids are a lot of students who have calculated the same number, which should be right, but twenty-four grids are varied, not to mention thirty-six grids, no one dares to count down.

In the absence of Arabic numerals, and without knowing the rules of arithmetic, it is really difficult for a large group of students to rely on abacus and boxy Chinese characters alone.

Some students were very unconvinced on the spot, saying that everyone thought that Chu Congrong would not count at all, and he heard this question from somewhere, and he deliberately used it to trick everyone. In everyone's eyes, the other party is an illiterate peasant girl, who can't even write and still wants to do arithmetic?

Chu calmly pretended to smile and said: "Brothers, you are not talented, and I can't do anything!" ”

Many of the students present were more children, and some were not even children. The little girl opened her mouth and closed her mouth to show her brother, and her smile was extremely bright, and the students said that no one was angry.

"I guessed right, she really wouldn't!"

"No wonder I ran so fast last time."

"Little girl, don't be so deceitful!"
