Why is it the sky to draw the mountains below and the clouds on the top?

How is a curved thread a snake?

Snake-like thing is a yellow eel again?

What kind of thing, can you draw? It's not as good as his eldest brother who took a piece of charcoal and painted on the earthen wall.

Lu Wen closed the book and asked Lu Xu: "Big brother, how much is this book?" ”

Lu Xu: "Three taels." ”

Lu Wen lost his voice: "How much?" Three or two?! Three taels of silver, you buy this thing?! ”

Lu Xu: "Be careful, I'll throw you down and fish up the book if you drop it in the river!" ”

Lu Wen pursed his lips and returned the book to Lu Zhou, three or two, such a thin book, everyone who reads is a fool, right?!

Lu Zhou touched the book and was distracted.

A Mengshu costs three taels, and he misses going to the examination institute like Yan Junqi, how much money does he have to spend to buy books?

Lu Zhou was depressed, but Lu Xu couldn't understand it, he wondered, "What's wrong?" Sad? You don't like to study either? ”

Lu Zhou hurriedly said: "No, I didn't ......"

Lu Xu touched his head, his heart softened, he understood, he understood best, the devil's brother was kind, and comforted his younger brother softly: "I didn't let you read it in one day, take your time, recognize one or two words a day, and slowly recognize it all, it's okay if you don't recognize it all, you don't have to take the imperial examination, you can write your name, you can write letters, and keep accounts." ”

Lu Zhou tilted his head, his expression became more and more sluggish, Lu Wen covered his face, God, he couldn't bear to look at it.

Chapter 70: Sugar Snowball

Some people don't like the Mengshu that Lu Xu bought, and some people like it.

Their Layue likes it very much, and Yuan Manniang likes it too.

Yuan Manniang didn't know that there were books that could be understood by illiterate people.

She asked Lu Xu to find her the name of Layue, Lu Xu flipped to the month, from the first month to the Layue, there were all, Yuan Manniang counted down, and the mother and daughter of Layue were excited to the eyes of the snowflake illustration.

There is no Yuan character in the book, Lu Xu found Manniang for her, Yuan Manniang touched the weeds on the insert, and asked Lu Xu to find the word "Ji", she traced it with her fingers on the "Ji" for a long time, and then gave the book to Layue.

Layue flipped through the book and pointed to her with a smile, "Mother, this is a fish!" ”

Yuan Manniang didn't make a sound, Layue looked up suspiciously, and saw her mother's eyes watery, as if she was crying.

Yuan Manniang touched her head and asked Layue to find out if there was Lu Rui's name.

Layue said "um", rummaging through the pages one by one, and did not find Rui from beginning to end.

Lu Ruicai, who is addicted to eating pastries, doesn't care if his name is on the book or not, his brother came back with a bag of dim sum, and the dim sum is everyone, and the scum is his!

On the other side, Lu Wen and Lu Zhou were paying money to Lu Xu, the two of them sold fritters for a total of five days, they were afraid that they would not be able to sell them all, so they didn't carry too much, and they guaranteed that they would be sold out every day.

Lu Xu roughly counted, there were seven or eight taels in total, since it was earned by the two of them, Lu Xu did not confiscate it, let the two of them divide it, and give Lu Xuan another one. Lu Zhou was honest, and he said as soon as he came up, Lu Xuan accompanied them for the first three days.

Lu Wen took the money and pulled Lu Zhou away, for fear that Lu Xu would regret it.

After running out of the gate of the Lu family, when he arrived at the empty space, Lu Wen boasted again: "I know that the eldest brother is generous and will not ask for our money." ”

Lu Zhou nodded silently.

Lu Wen pulled Lu Zhou into his room.

This house was originally where Lu Hui lived with him, but now Lu Hui is gone, and he is the only one left.

Lu Wen poured all the money on the bed, divided it into five parts first, divided it into three parts in the first three days, and two shares in the second two days, "These are for the third brother, these belong to me, and these belong to you." ”

Lu Zhou shook his head: "I want to give it to the third aunt and Xiao Xia." ”

Lu Wen thought about it, and he was right. They had already given his mother the money before, but his mother and Xiao Xia got up early and made noodles and fried noodles, which was also very hard.

Lu Zhou re-divided, first half of each day was divided into three parts for the third aunt and Xiao Xia, and the rest was divided into three parts for the first three days and two shares for the last two days.

After dividing it, Xiao Xia and the third aunt each had less than two taels, he and Lu Wen each had more than one tael, and Lu Xuan had less than one tael.

Lu Wen pursed his lips, he was busy for a long time, and he didn't earn more than Xiao Xia.

Lu Zhou put his wallet in place, "I'll send it to the third brother." ”

Luwen: "Hmm. ”

After Lu Zhou ran away with his and Lu Xuan's money, Lu Wen counted out a hundred pieces from his share and hid them in the pillow, wrapped the rest, and took them all to the kitchen to Xiao Xia.

Lu Wen: "This is yours, this is mother's." ”

Xiao Xia was surprised: "Why is mine more than my mother's?" ”

Lu Wen said awkwardly: "It's mine, you can save it for me." ”

Xiao Xia was even more surprised.

Lu Wen didn't look at her either, twisted his head and kicked the ground, "Didn't you wash my clothes for me?" ”

Xiao Xia looked at him sneeringly, washing clothes? Didn't she wash Lu Wen all the time?

Lu Wen: "You can keep the rest to buy a nodding flower needlework, and buy candy for Xiaoyu Xiaofu to eat." ”

After saying that, Lu Wen ran away, and Xiao Xia laughed slowly while holding the money.

When Lu Zhou ran to the grocery store, Lu Xuan helped clean up the shelves in the grocery store, and Han Lu sat on the side to choose vegetables.

Tan Shishi asked for vegetables, many people in the village exchanged vegetables for things, many fresh vegetables still carried soil, Grandma Lu had nothing to do with the soil and rotten leaves, and then used wheat straw to bundle into bundles, such vegetables were transported to the county to sell well.

Hanlu always runs to the grocery store when he has nothing to do, in addition to rubbing some snacks to eat, he also can't help out.

Placing goods, selecting vegetables, laying straw in the basket, laying eggs, duck eggs, cleaning......

Even seven-year-old Xiaoman has been running errands all over the village recently.

Lu Zhou gave Lu Xuan money, Lu Xuan was too busy to let go of his hands, and asked Lu Zhou to put it on the cabinet, but before he could see it, Han Lu clapped his hands first and stood up to count for him.

"So much!" Han Lu's eyes lit up, "Brother, divide half of me!" ”

Lu Xuan's head jumped, and he became accustomed to calming down again, and asked in a deep voice, "Why?" ”

Hanlu: "I'm your sister!" ”

Lu Xuan took the money bag out of her hand, counted five Wen from it and gave it to Xiao Man, who was standing on the side, looked at Han Lu, and under her expectant gaze, he took out a copper coin and gave it to Han Lu, "Give." ”

Hanlu: "Yiwen?!" ”

Lu Xuan: "Don't forget it. ”

Han Lu copied it away, and said angrily: "Forget it if you're stingy!" Xiaozhou, if you look for me for this kind of work in the future, I can also accompany you to sell fritters. ”

Lu Zhou touched the tip of his nose, "My brother is back, so we won't go." ”

Han Lu snorted angrily and accused Lu Xuan: "Look at the eldest brother, you don't want Xiaozhou Xiaowen's money, look at you, just give me an article!" It's not enough to buy sugar! ”

Lu Xuan sprinkled salt in the pickle jar, "Don't pay me back." ”

Han Lu snorted, Ma Yu stuffed the copper coin into her small purse, and handed Lu Xuan two duck eggs.

Their chickens and ducks have also laid a lot of eggs recently, and they won't be able to eat them for a while, Tan Shishi said that salted duck eggs are easy to sell, so his family pickled salted duck eggs.

Lu Xuan and Han Lu were busy arguing, and they didn't delay their cooperation, Lu Xuan sealed the cylinder, and handed over the oiled paper hemp rope without saying anything, as soon as he moved the cylinder, Han Lu tacitly moved the broom dustpan that was blocking his way.

The two of them were used to bickering in the whole family, and even Xiaoman didn't hear it, and asked Lu Zhou softly, "Brother Zhou, is Layue at home?" ”

Lu Zhou: "Yes." ”

Xiaoman: "Brother, I want to go and play with Layue." ”

Lu Xuan: "Go ahead." ”

Hanlu: "Brother, I want to play too." ”

Lu Xuan: "Don't go!" ”

Before dinner, when there were many people in the shop, she still wanted to run?

Hanlu: "Grandma! ”

Grandma Lu sat outside the store drying vegetables, and said with a smile: "Go, come back early." ”

Hanlu pulled Xiaoman away in a hurry, for fear that Lu Xuan would arrest her.

Lu Zhou went home, Han Lu and Xiao Man arrived before him, and they were reading a book with Layue at this time. Lu Zhou took a turn around the house, and sure enough, his eldest brother disappeared again.

At this time, the work of each family is almost done, and it is not dark, and there are always people who come to Yuan Manniang to discuss embroidery stitching.

There are many female dependents who come, and there are always people who can't help but catch his brother and talk about the matchmaker, and his eldest brother doesn't dare to go home until it's dark.

Lu Xu hid in Yan Junqi's study, holding the account book brought back from Guanyang and looking through it.

Tan Shishi and Liang Shanbao are okay to do anything else, but they are really not talented in bookkeeping, and Lu Xu can probably make do with it.

It's imminent to find a bookkeeper.

Lu Xu probably had a point in his heart, closed the ledger, and took out his private ledger from Yan Junqi's drawer to paint.

"I want to rent a row of shops that specialize in selling snacks, what do you think?"

"A row?"

"Hmm." Lu Xu and Yan Junqi talked about his plan.

He originally planned to buy a row of stores, but the store was too expensive, and no one sold them in whole rows, so he never made the trip. After a visit to the state capital this time, Lu Xu found that there were many small alleys in the state capital selling food, and the business was actually not bad, as long as the things were delicious, they didn't have to be next to the street.

As for how to attract traffic from the street, anyway, they have grocery stores and mountain goods stores on East Street, and when the time comes, he will hang some posters outside the shop and send some coupons.

The mind was opened, and Lu Xu was busy looking for a shop in the county.

He wanted to rent, and it wasn't so easy to find for a while.

There are ready-made ones, and Song Liu's gambling house is very suitable, but unfortunately he can't afford to sell them.

Before the autumn harvest, the county is peaceful and quiet, the autumn is high and refreshing, the melons and fruits are fragrant, the people of the county are busy with the Mid-Autumn Festival to buy, as long as the conditions are not too poor, they will buy some fresh melons and fruits for fruit, their grocery stores, mountain goods shop business is unusually good.

The variety of Lu Xu's cold dishes has gradually decreased, and in addition to selling cold dishes every day, there is also a pumpkin pie.

The third aunt and the fourth aunt have planted a lot of melons, and many people in the village have exchanged melons for oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and they have accumulated a lot of melons. The pumpkin is cheap and sweet, and there is no need to put sugar, and it is steamed and glutinous rice dough is fried, and it is fried into a cake, which is sweet, glutinous and fragrant.
