There are five shops, two large and three small, the big two Lu Xu prepares one to make spicy hot, one to make fast food, stir-fried fast food, and can sell breakfast in the morning.

Malatang Lu Xu is ready to use the street to count the sticks, and the copper pot is also made into a long row of pots with the same grid, for this reason, he also drew a picture for the blacksmith father and son to explain, the blacksmith has never seen a pot made into a long box shape, I am afraid that Lu Xu will not do it, and let Lu Xu pay the money first.

Malatang said, as long as he has the ingredients, just find someone to cook it, and count the sticks.

He is in charge of stir-frying vegetables and fried noodles.

Of the three rooms in the middle, Lu Xu plans to sell staple foods such as fritters, baked cakes, and mille-feuille cakes, and one sells cold salads, braised pork and vegetables, and the remaining one, Lu Xu plans to sell drinks.

In this way, he alone is not enough.

Lu Xu gave priority to asking from home, the staple food is indispensable to the third aunt, but the third aunt wants to go to the field, he has to ask the third aunt for his opinion. Unexpectedly, before the third aunt could speak, Xiao Xia first asked if she could take her.

Lu Xu was taken aback.

Lu Wen was taken aback.

The third uncle and the third aunt were taken aback.

The whole family was shocked.

If Han Lu said this, everyone would not be so surprised, but when it came out of the mouth of Xiao Xia, who has always been low-key and quiet, everyone was surprised.

Xiao Xia clenched her hands, pinched her fingers helplessly, her voice trembled, and she still insisted on finishing her thoughts, "Now that the autumn harvest is coming, my mother can't leave. ”

She looked at the third aunt, and then at Lu Xu, seeing that they didn't say anything, still waiting for her to finish, Xiao Xia mustered up the courage to say: "I, I want to make some money, buy fields for the family, buy cattle, I will make the meal before I go in the morning, I can come back before dark, do not delay cooking, the light rain is also heavy, I can wash the dishes and chopsticks, feed the chickens and ducks, and I ......will come back at night for the rest."

Xiaoyu said: "I can also cook." ”

Xiao Xia smiled at her.

The sisters have similar eyebrows and eyes, and they are exactly the same gentle and delicate.

Lu Fu looked at the two sisters, didn't want to be left behind, stood up on his knees, and said loudly: "I will feed the chickens!" ”

The Lu Wen people were stupid.

Seeing that Xiao Xia was so brave, Hanlu also loudly announced that she was going too.

Unlike Xiao Xia's thoughts, Han Lu's thoughts are simple, she just wants Lu Xu's daily salary of 100 clerks.

100 Wen......

In the past, her father went to the dock in the town to carry a big bag, and it was only 30 wen a day, but now, the dock is not the boat gang, and it is only 50 wen at most, and her brother is 100 wen in one breath!

Cold dew starry eyes, how many delicious things can you buy for a hundred Wen!

Lu Xuan frowned, "Big brother is looking for someone to work, not someone to steal food." ”

Hanlu kicked him angrily, "I do all the housework at home!" ”

Fourth uncle: "Get down to business, you two, shut up." ”

As soon as he said that, he was stabbed by the fourth aunt, and he shut up in an instant.

Hanlu muttered, "Anyway, I want to go, I can still be with Xiao Xia." ”

Lu Xu didn't rush to agree, let Xiao Xia think about it again, discuss it with the third aunt and third uncle, and think about it again with Hanlu.

If Xiaoxia and Hanlu want to go, Lu Xu is naturally willing to take them, their girls are hard-working, meticulous in their work, gentle and lovely, they are all first-class good in Lu Xu's eyes, but it is not easy to open a shop, they are thirteen and fourteen, they are still little girls, Lu Xu is reluctant.

Moreover, according to their customs here, fourteen or fifteen years old is the age when it is time to talk about marriage and slowly talk about marriage, even in his shop, they can always be regarded as showing up, and Lu Xu doesn't know if the third and fourth aunts are worried.

Lu Xu led Lu Zhou out of the third aunt's house, digesting all the way, walking and walking, Lu Xu suddenly felt that something was wrong today.

This should be quiet with courage, and it should be out of the blue, as if it was extraordinarily quiet.

Lu Xu looked back at Lu Zhou, turned his head, and took another look.

It's strange that Lu Zhou didn't rush to work with him today?!

Lu Xu stopped, bent down to carefully observe his younger brother, who was not yet on his chest, "Do you have anything to tell me?" ”

He didn't want Lu Zhou to work with him, but today's style is too bad for Lu Zhou!

Lu Zhou nodded and asked, "Brother, Brother Jun Qi said that he will enter the county school in a few days, can you ask about the conditions for entering the county school?" ”

Lu Xu was stunned, didn't understand why Lu Zhou suddenly asked this, and subconsciously said: "I told grandpa, Tongsheng doesn't charge money, it's not that Tongsheng collects three taels of silver a year." ”

Lu Zhou exclaimed: "Three taels?!" Not thirty taels? ”

Lu Xu: "Thirty taels? Where did the thirty-taels come from? It only costs thirty taels to learn from the house. ”

Lu Zhou clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "Big brother, I want to go to study." ”

Lu Xu let out an "oh", and then reacted, "What? What do you want?! ”

He didn't understand, how could anyone want to go to school in a good way?

Chapter 74: Younger Brothers and Sisters

This is a serious matter, Lu Xu called Lu Zhou home and asked carefully what his stupid brother thought.

Comparing his heart to his heart, Lu Xu thought that Lu Zhou's idea was a bit stupid.

In this era, there is no need to go to the enterprise to compete for a job, no need to fight for a diploma, and when he works hard for a while, the business of the shop is stable, and he saves more money, he can open a restaurant again, and the restaurant will be opened, and he will be able to train a few chefs, and he will be able to operate steadily, earn money to buy land, and be a moist small landlord in Guanyang.

When the time comes, his younger brothers and sisters will be willing to do business and do business, and if they are not, they will inherit the family business and wait for the land.

Although Guanyang is not a wealthy place, there are mountains and rivers, and the people are simple, isn't it good to be a small landlord? Why do you have to find yourself unhappy?

Anyway, Lu Xu doesn't like to go, his student life is not dark, and it is not very pleasant, in retrospect, it can be roughly summarized as, I can't read books, I can't ask questions, teachers don't like it, and my classmates don't want to see him.

His father had to stuff him into a key class, he couldn't keep up at all, he listened to books in class, except for sleeping in a daze, and when he wanted to learn, he couldn't catch up with his efforts. Even if he studied day and night in the last half of his senior year, he still didn't do much.

Anyway, when it comes to reading exams, Lu Xu still has nightmares.

In this era, the scientific examination is more difficult than his college entrance examination, and looking at the college examination, it is simply a crime.

Lu Xu really couldn't understand how anyone would want to jump into such a big pit.

He looked at his silly brother with mixed feelings, "You want to study?" Go to the county to study? ”

Lu Zhou nodded and solemnly said "um".

Lu Xu: "Why? ”

Lu Zhou bowed his head and was silent, a little embarrassed and said, "I want to be a lifter." ”

Lu Xu sighed and patiently persuaded, "That's what you want to do?" Do you know how difficult it is to lift people? ”

Lu Zhou was silent.

Lu Xu followed the temptation, "What's the good of being a lifter?" Our family has no power or power, you are just admitted to the Jinshi, not the top of the list, you can be a small county official, and you can't be in your hometown. Do you want to leave us behind? ”

Lu Zhou: "I'm not! ”

Lu Xu: "Even if you go anywhere, our family will move there, then you may not see your grandparents, third uncles and fourth uncles, Lu Wen and Lu Xuan for many years." ”

Lu Zhou froze.

He didn't know anything else.

Lu Xu touched his head, "Most people are officials, but they are also for eating to earn money, these brothers can make money, and you don't need to break through that single-plank bridge." If you want to read and write, my brother can teach you slowly, and I will find a gentleman to teach you in the future. ”

Lu Zhou pouted and was silent, his face full of struggle.

Lu Xu thought he had persuaded him, but Lu Zhou thought about it for a while, came to him again, and still said, "Brother, I want to take the exam." ”

Lu Xu was puzzled, he said that he understood so much, why is this kid still not enlightened?

He put down the half-milled pepper, inexplicably: "Why? Tell me why? ”

"I want to take the exam, I will be examined, and the eldest brother and Rui'er will not have to serve." Lu Zhou blurted out categorically, as if these words had been repeated thousands of times in his heart, even if he was a little timid and cautious, he could say it loudly.

Lu Xu was stunned.

He couldn't have imagined such a reason.

Lu Xu: "How do you know that Rui'er and I don't have to serve as a lifter?" ”

Lu Zhou: "You said it before, and Brother Jun Qi also said it. ”

Lu Xu didn't remember at all: "When did I say that?" ”

Lu Zhou didn't answer, but said: "I don't want my brother and Rui'er to be like my father and Brother Xiaohui." ”

Lu Xu sat on the small bench, looking up at Lu Zhou, who was standing in front of him with a stubborn face, he couldn't grind the pepper anymore.

He waved his hand, asked Lu Zhou to sit down next to him, and rubbed Lu Zhou's little head, "I said that, not for you. ”

Lu Zhou looked up at him, "Brother Junqi can do it, I, I can too." ”

The tone is not so confident again.

Lu Xu laughed, "Okay, then you can read it." ”

Lu Zhou was stunned.

Lu Xu said: "But in front of me, it's because you want to study, I let you read, as for whether you can pass the exam or not, our family is fate." ”

Lu Zhou looked at him blankly.

Lu Xu: "I'm not here to let you study for the sake of being a talent, whether you are admitted to the top prize or can't even pass the children's exam, it makes no difference to me, understand?" ”

Lu Zhou shook his head, not understanding.

Lu Xu smiled, his stupid brother, honestly like this, eighty percent is not a business material, so study it, he can afford it anyway.

He pinched Lu Zhou's little face, which had become a little fat recently, "Anyway, I can't read, I hate reading too, since you like it, then my brother hopes that you can read happily, read more, understand more, read for fun, read for broadening your horizons, don't read for the sake of being promoted and being an official." If you study for the sake of being an official, eighty percent of them will not be able to become a good official, even if they are admitted, it is better not to be able to pass the exam. ”

Lu Zhou didn't seem to understand it.

Lu Xu let go of him, "If one day you really get in, I hope you can be like our county magistrate, protect one side, don't just think about me and Rui'er, that won't solve the fundamental problem, and it's too useless." Think more about Lu Wen, Lu Xuan, your brothers, relatives, villagers, Guanyang, Longxing, and even all kinds of people you know or don't know all kinds of people in the world. Since you have ambitions, set big ambitions. ”

Lu Zhou was confused, digesting the questions that were far beyond the outline for him.

Lu Xu waved his hand, "Let's play, I'll take you to ask tomorrow how to enroll in school." ”

Lu Zhou was gone, in a trance.

Lu Xu sat on the small bench and pondered, in fact, he was also in a trance.
