The third grandmother blinked, blinked again, understood what he meant, and said a little painfully: "I'll bring you another bowl?" ”

Lu Xu knew that she had misunderstood.

Although in terms of price, his bowl of snails is more expensive than steamed buns, the people in the village always feel that nothing is as valuable as grain, especially like wild vegetables that can be dug from the mountains and snails that can be picked up from the river.

Lu Xu explained: "No, no, I just want to ask, your steamed buns are so good, why don't you rush to sell them?" ”

Third grandmother: "Rush to the market to sell? ”

Lu Xu: "That's right. ”

The third grandmother was amused by his unreliable idea, "Then how can anyone buy it?" Who doesn't know how to steam steamed buns? ”

Lu Xu said: "Why didn't anyone buy it?" There are many steamed buns, but there are few steamed delicious. ”

In this era, there is no baking powder, and the fermentation depends on the noodle primer, which is not easy to use, easy to acid, and there are many miscellaneous bacteria. To neutralize the sourness, you have to use grass and wood ash water and noodles, and alkali to neutralize it.

But how many sides to put and how much gray water to use for the introduction are all technical work.

There is less face introduction, and the face is not open.

There are more noodles, and the noodles are sour.

There is less gray water, and the noodles are still sour.

There is a lot of gray water, and the face will be yellow and hard.

Not to mention that different seasons have different temperature and humidity conditions, and the fermentation time is different.

In short, it all depends on experience and feel, as well as some subtle talent metaphysics, and his little stepmother didn't have this skill point at all.

He thought about his steamed buns, and then thought about the soft and fat steamed buns steamed by the third grandmother, and lobbied more and more sincerely, "I have eaten the steamed buns sold in the town, and the noodles are not steamed properly, which is far worse than yours." ”

The third grandmother hesitated: "People are buns." ”

Lu Xu: "You can also steam steamed buns, the buns in the town are similar to my mother's filling." ”

The third grandmother was shocked and blurted out, "Can that be sold?" ”

She was embarrassed when she said that.

Lu Xu was not embarrassed, and nodded again and again, "Business is quite good." ”

The third grandmother inexplicably rose up some confidence, but she was still quite hesitant, "People have been selling there for so long, can I go suddenly?" ”

Lu Xu continued to give her ideas, "Why not, Drinking Horse Town is not their family, can they not let others sell it?" Not to mention anything else, there are three tofu sellers in the town, aren't they all doing good business with Heqi? ”

The third grandmother thought to herself, how can you be kind? In the first two years, the two scolded each other for three days. But it's useless to scold, the one behind them is doing deliciously, and the business is better than the two in front of them.

Lu Xu said again: "They rent shops to sell, you just carry a basket to sell, no one is in the way, if you are not willing to compete with his family, then you don't sell vegetable buns, meat buns, you sell bean buns, sugar buns and steamed buns, some people like salty, some people love sweet, no one can say that they have robbed their business." ”

The third grandmother pondered.

Lu Xu said: "If you want me to say, you just don't rush to the market, it is easy to sell in our village, buy with money, or exchange food for food, you always have to eat, why eat something delicious?" ”

Her two daughters-in-law were teasing the children in the yard, and they kept listening to it without saying a word, and then they couldn't help but speak, "Mother, why don't we try?" ”

"Yes, mother, don't talk about our whole village, just our west, who doesn't know that your steamed steamed buns are the best, and the Lizheng family will ask you to help with the wedding, funeral, and banquet."

The third grandmother did not speak.

Their family has a large population, the third grandmother gave birth to six sons and five daughters, in addition to the young ones who died young, there are still five sons and four daughters, grandchildren have also grown up, there are more people and fields are not enough, fortunately, now there are many wastelands, and they are diligent and do not worry about eating and drinking, but they only farm, and there is no money left at home.

Third grandmother: "I'll try?" ”

Lu Xu: "If you don't feel at ease, you can steam a basket and sell it first, and then continue to sell it, if it is not good, you will not sell it, and if you sell it to me, my family will want it." ”

The third grandmother was laughed at by him, "How can I charge you money, if it's really easy to sell, don't steam steamed buns at your house in the future, and eat them at my house." ”

The old lady was vigorous and began to prepare the next day.

Lu Xu sold snails in the county for two days, and the old lady also went to the market with a basket.

Lu Xu carried the basket to the morning market as usual, he came every day, bought what he thought was delicious and came to him, only a few days to have repeat customers, more repeat customers, acquaintances are also willing to try it, the most obvious change is that today there are two regular customers in his stall to exchange experience of eating snails, in the stall next door to pick fruit lady listened, so he bought his fried snails.

Lu Xu realized, and then saw the child, so he actively tried it for the child, the adult was embarrassed to eat snails on the street, and the child could! Generally, children think it is delicious, and there is half a probability that those who are mothers and grandmothers are willing to buy them for their children to taste.

When the morning market was over, Lu Xu calculated, he sold more than 70 copies in the morning!

The proportion of morning market sales has steadily increased!

Lu Xu carried a much lighter basket on his back, and came to the wine store before noon, and the wine store shopkeeper saw it and asked the guy to move a chair for him, "It's sunny outside, you can sell it in the store." ”

Lu Xu thanked him and gave the shopkeeper and his buddies a snail.

The shopkeeper of the wine store was not polite, he also felt that eating snails and drinking small wine tasted good, with this appetizer, he unconsciously drank more wine than usual, he drank too much, can the drinkers drink less? They drank too much, and his business was not good.

He only sells wine here and doesn't sell vegetables, and Lu Xu sells some snails here and it doesn't affect his trading.

After selling more than 50 copies in the wine shop, Lu Xu came to the gambling house again with a basket on his back.

He knew these drunkards, few of them had good tempers, and many of them had bad tempers, and when he saw Lu Xu, someone scolded: "Why did you come so late?" Seeing that half a basket was missing, he scolded again: "Are all the leftovers you sell us that others don't want?" ”

Lu Xu coaxed good-naturedly: "These are all single servings, where is there one left?" I'll pick you a big one, what do you think of this bag? ”

There are also those who lose to be credited, so Lu Xu pretended to be pitiful, "Master, you see that I came by boat from the village early in the morning, buying and selling a small book, and my family also pointed to me to make money to buy land......"

He chattered, and the other party scolded him when he was angry and didn't buy it. Lu Xu didn't care, anyway, there were many gamblers, and when he won one day, he would be in a good mood, and he would be able to coax him back.

After he sold the fried snails today, he exchanged the broken silver with the gamblers as usual, but before he finished exchanging, suddenly two thug-looking thugs came out of the gambling house, holding a portion of the fried snails in their hands, and spit out the empty snail shell to Lu Xu, "Is that the boiled snails that your kid sells?" ”

Lu Xu looked at the slightly wet clothes and turned his head to look at them, "It's me." ”

The man spat again, this time on his pants, and the other kicked his basket over, "Who told you to sell it here?" ”

Lu Xu asked: "Is this your family's territory?" ”

"That's right, it's the grandfather's!"

Seeing that the two of them rolled up their sleeves and wanted to make a move, the owner of the noodle restaurant came over and stopped, "He is a boy from the countryside, and he has only been in the city for two days, what are you angry with a child?" I can't just let him go. ”

The tall one pushed the boss away and pushed him to a stumbling point, "He can't go!" ”

Lu Xu straightened the basket, "What do you want to do?" Rent collection? Collecting protection money? Or find fault? ”

The two of them were amused, "Okay, you know something, how much did you earn today?" ”

Lu Xu: "How much do you charge?" ”

The two thugs opened their mouths and said, "Half of the table." ”

Lu Xu smiled, "Second master, most of my earnings were made elsewhere. He counted a hundred, "It's because I don't know the rules, how about asking the two of you to drink some thin wine as an apology?" ”

"Where's the one who asks for food?" The short leader opened his hand, "You inquire about how much you have to pay for food here!" ”

Lu Xu looked at them straightly, put the money on the table into the money bag, bent down and picked up the penny from the ground, and asked again, "How about I add another 100 wen to make amends for the two of you?" ”

"No, it's late," the short man beckoned to him, "Take all your money, and you're not allowed to sell it here in the future, you know?" ”

Lu Xu smiled, and he said loudly: "Master, this is Guanyang County, you have to talk about the royal law." ”

"If you give it or not, Lao Tzu is the king of the law here!" The short man rolled up his sleeves and grabbed Lu Xu, Lu Xu staggered, grabbed his arm and pulled him violently, giving him an over-the-shoulder fall.

Seeing the lively gamblers in an uproar, they dodged with a brush, and before the short man could react, he was overturned by Lu Xu to the ground, and the meat fell to the hard ground, making a "pop" sound.

Without waiting for his companion to react, Lu Xu ran in the direction of the county government with his money bag in his arms, "Don't be ashamed, phew!" ”

The tall man chased after him, "Don't run, boy!" ”

If you don't run, will you stay and be beaten?

Lu Xu squeezed through the crowd of people watching the excitement, and pulled the gamblers in the bun shop next door as shields, and those gamblers whistled directly, some stopped Lu Xu, and some blocked the gangsters, and shouted "Chase!" "Run!"

Lu Xuqian hadn't changed yet, he couldn't run fast with a heavy load, seeing that the county government was still far away, the dwarf got up and chased after him, he made a sharp turn and drilled into the inn next to him, "Brother Luo!" ”

The two gangsters behind him saw that it was Luo Shen in a soap robe, and they all stopped.

Chapter 14: Targeted

Luo Shen heard the movement just now, but he didn't want to take care of the gossip that caused him to the yamen, and he couldn't take care of it, and he didn't want this kid to recognize him.

He carefully discerned it, and suddenly recognized, "You are a kid from the Lugi family." ”

"It's me." Lu Xu saluted him, "Thanks to Brother Luo's help, I was able to find my father." ”

Luo Shen nodded.

Lu Xu didn't talk nonsense, his father and Lu Xu's brothers of the same clan dug ditches together and were killed together, according to common sense, when they encountered an accident in the service, they were all buried on the spot and washed away by the flood, and they were just looking for them along the river, and if they couldn't find it, they would do a spiritualist ritual by the river to be comforting.

Thanks to the large number of Luo Shen people, he is an official errand, the clan saw that no one was looking for the body, and secretly ran back to Guanyang to find Luo Shen to cry, Luo Shen was afraid that the clansmen would escape without permission and be convicted, so after thinking about it, he found a reason to ask for the people's life, pleaded with the county order, and found the corpse of Guanyang's labor.

It was because of this that Lu Xu and Yan Junqi were able to follow Li Zheng to find someone, and it was Luo Shen who took the lead at that time.

At that time, the army was in chaos, and he didn't say anything to Luo Shen, thanks to Luo Shen, he still knew him!

Lu Xu didn't know that his father and the Luo Shen clan were in a team, his brother was young, Lu Ji missed his son, loved the house and Wu, and took great care of his brother, and the water rushed down thanks to Lu Ji pushing his brother to escape by holding the tree.

His brother thought that he wanted to be grateful to Lu Xu at that time, but Lu Xu was too sad at that time, and his whole body was numb with grief, and he didn't listen to a word in his heart.

Luo Shen had a good impression of him, first, his father saved his brother, and first, he remembered that this kid said that he would take his father's body back for burial if he was bankrupt, and he was a filial son.

So when Luo Shen heard the movement, he didn't expect it to be Lu Xu, can this kid be so lively and cause trouble?

Luo Shen had a straight face, unable to see his joy or anger, and asked Lu Xu in a deep voice, "Do you owe gambling debts?" ”

Lu Xu shook his head again and again, "Nothing! The two of them saw that my business was good, and they not only asked me to collect protection money, but also asked me to give them all the money, and I was not allowed to sell them in the county anymore! ”

The two bastards gritted their teeth angrily, "Who said you weren't allowed to sell it in the county, I mean......"

Lu Xu: "Yes, they also said that they are the Wang Fa of Guanyang County!" A lot of people heard it. ”

Luo Shen: "......"

The two gangsters were angry, "Master Luo, you listen to his nonsense, he beat our brother and wants to run." ”

Lu Xu: "I sell snails in a good manner, I don't know the two, the two asked me for money, but I begged for peace and quiet, and I also gave it, one hundred wen is not enough for me to add another hundred wen, these many people have seen it, it was the two who forced me to have all the money, and they wanted to beat me, so I had to fight back and run away." ”

Lu Xu said sadly, "If I hadn't met Brother Luo today, I wouldn't have known if I would have gone home alive, I only have a weak mother and younger brothers and sisters in my family, my whole family is counting on me to make a living, if I have a long or short life, the family has no support, I am afraid that I will soon sleep on the streets, and even expose the corpse in the wilderness, I dare to ask the two, where did I offend you, you want to kill people like this?" ”

When the people on the street heard this, they didn't expect Lu Xu to be so pitiful, and they immediately sympathized, and they couldn't bear to blame the two gangsters again and again.

The two gangsters were speechless, and they were beaten by an old lady, and it was not easy to fight back, "Our brother only told him not to sell snails in the gambling house." ”
