Lu Xu: "The second uncle is going to press the boat, why don't you take care of the work at home for the second uncle?" ”

The fourth uncle's eyes widened, and he looked at Lu Xu in disbelief and then at Lu Qing, but he saw a trace of relief and a trace of ...... on Lu Qing's face

Gloat?

Replace the second brother?

Just kidding!

The fourth uncle was stunned.

How much work does his second brother have to do every day, and how many things do he care!

You don't have to think about it, the fourth uncle can count it out when he opens his mouth, manage the three mountains, take the eight families on the mountain to cut down trees and plant trees, plant vegetables and open up wasteland, trim the forest according to Lu Xu's plan, dig a pond for raising ducks on the other side of the mountain, arrange work for the short-term workers, pay wages, receive and move goods for the grocery store, and help in the field if he is too busy to do so......

The fourth uncle's eyes darkened, and his head shook like a rattle, "Why don't you ask your third uncle?" ”

Lu Xu: "I asked, the third uncle said that Lu Hui was too busy, he had to help, and if you were unwilling to take care of the second uncle, he and Lu Hui would take care of the mountain, and the fourth uncle would take care of the fields for Lu Hui." ”

Fourth Uncle: "......"

Field......

It's not easy in the fields!

It's still tiring to have those eight cows, okay?

His expression changed back and forth, and he could see Lu Xu smiling.

The third uncle actually doesn't like to deal with people very much, and it is easy to be anxious when there are many people, he still likes to grow crops, unlike the fourth uncle, who is careless, in fact, he can talk to anyone, and now there are short-term workers coming and going every day on the mountain, and the most suitable candidate is the fourth uncle.

The third uncle understands this, the second uncle understands, and the fourth uncle actually understands.

He smiled bitterly, he could see that the second brother had long been impatient with arranging work and paying wages for others every day.

It's just that they couldn't spare their hands because they were busy in the fields a while ago, so he had to take care of it.

The fourth uncle thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, then leave it to me first." ”

The second uncle squinted at him, with a straightforward expression that he would not pick up the job if he threw it out.

Lu Xu and the fourth uncle laughed silently.

Lu Xu didn't fool the caravan, but he had already gathered enough goods, and he wanted to transport it to explore the road first, and go safely, so that others could rest assured.

He repeatedly confirmed every section of the road with his second uncle before deciding to explore the road first on his own.

Because of the high price, he really found someone from the Guanyang Alliance who was willing to go, and when the people were ready, he saw that almost all of them were soldiers who had unloaded their armor, and they were either lonely or arrogant in expression, quite a bit of an outlaw's posture, and it was not easy to provoke at first glance.

This group of people got together and almost scared Lu Xu away.

He sneered, did they not know how to farm and had an amazing aura, and they couldn't find any work? This group of people is definitely not afraid of bandits when they get together, but it seems that they will not listen to any shopkeeper's command!

Lu Xu really guessed seven, seven, eight, eight.

Not all families can give their relatives back a house and land, not all villages have patches of wasteland like Lujia Village, and not all villages are as reasonable and kind as Lujia Village.

Some village ruffians just don't let them open up the wasteland, let them pay for the land, and some people don't even have their houses at home, and the long-term battlefield fighting makes some people no longer suitable for plowing the fields with hoes.

They also went to find other jobs, but their aura was fierce and vicissitudes, and even if they didn't have a temper, others didn't dare to use it.

They are not young again, and it is time to marry a wife and start a family, but the family does not even have a mud house, how can they live?

Lu Xu recruited people at a high price, so they naturally came without hesitation.

Lu Xu's family has a disarming and returning to the field, and he understands many difficulties, not to mention other people's homes, it is theirs, if it is not for the harmony of the family, the second uncle will come back, and it will be embarrassing to live in any house.

So when he saw these people, he was a little surprised, but he didn't drive them away, and he also accepted all the people who exceeded expectations.

He took it like this, which surprised those people.

They looked at Lu Xu suspiciously, wondering if they had heard it wrong, "All of them?" ”

Lu Xu: "Yes, there are many people who are safe!" ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, take Lu Xu's advance deposit, and leave in a trance.

Lu Xuan, who recruited people with him, asked: "Aren't you afraid that they won't come back with the deposit?" ”

Lu Xu: "It's okay, spend a hundred dollars to identify character, this money is worth it." ”

He doesn't want anyone who is greedy for even a hundred deposits!

It is dangerous to go out, and he does not dare to hand over his business and relatives to such a person.

As for charging more people, Lu Xu didn't care too much, anyway, he didn't plan to make money this time, and he was already very relieved to find people.

In the end, this errand unsurprisingly fell on Lu Qing, who was born in the army, knew Qiu Hu and them, and was close to Lu Xu.

So, Lu Qing began to urge Lu Xu to prepare the goods, and he couldn't wait to leave immediately, which made him more anxious than Lu Xu, and for a while made Lu Xu wonder if he was annoyed by planting trees on the mountain, or if he was annoyed by the seven aunts and eight aunts urging him to get married.

His second uncle, a good bachelor!

Lu Xu empathized with this excessive love, and he also suffered from it a while ago.

Thinking of this, Lu Xu righteously began to buy goods, rent ships, and take road guides, striving to let the second uncle go out to hide.

Three days before departure, the whole family of the Lu family saw off Lu Qing together, and Lu Qing accompanied Lu Xu to the county to make final preparations, count the goods list, integrate the personnel, and take the paperwork for the passage, etc.

They have to do all kinds of trivial work themselves.

Lu Xu was very happy that the entourage he was looking for had all arrived, and he was very happy that he had been weak before, and he had a weak mind that there would be a situation where everyone only took the deposit but refused to come.

If he doesn't come at all, a person will lose a lot of money for a hundred yuan.

Fortunately, nothing like this happened, they watched the sun, and the people were simple!

Lu Xu warmly entertained them to stay first, familiarized themselves with the ship first, and assigned everyone's work.

They had to take the waterway all the way to the state capital, and then rent a car to go to Shuozhou by land after getting off the ship, and Lu Xu found them a businessman who was familiar with the road conditions, and the boat was also rented by the other party.

The price Lu Xu gave was high, and he was familiar with it, the other party was happy to give them a ride, and then buy the goods from the state capital, and he was willing to sell Lu Xu, the face of the Guanyang Alliance, to help him contact the car from the state capital.

In addition, Lu Xu also gave the second uncle the list of contacts of various restaurants who learned to cook with him along the way.

It's speechless to think about it, people from the two counties near Longxing County in Shuozhou have gone to Guanyang to learn stir-fry with him, and his business alliance hasn't even gone to Shuozhou, Lu Xu can't help but tear bitter tears.

On the day of departure, Lu Xu went to the pier to say goodbye to them, this day was a sunny day, early in the morning the sun illuminated the pedestrians warmly, Lu Xu and the second uncle said goodbye, he had a stomach to entrust, but in the face of the second uncle like a great enemy, and finally simplified: "Be careful all the way, it doesn't matter if you make money or not, everything is safe and smooth!" ”

The second uncle picked the corners of his mouth, smiled at him, and beckoned someone to get on the boat.

The boat family who sent them to the state capital greeted Lu Xu a lot.

The last package of goods was loaded onto the ship, and the ship's family also said goodbye to Lu Xu: "It's not too early, we set off." ”

Lu Xu was mysterious: "If I want it, you must help me bring it back!" ”

The boatman is also mysterious: "Don't worry, Lu Dangjia!" ”

Lu Wen and Lu Xuan, who were standing on the side, looked at Lu Xu suspiciously, not knowing what the eldest brother was quietly doing.

The merchant ship drove away and gradually moved away, and the Lu Xu brothers stood at the dock for a long time, until the ship turned a corner and was blocked by the shadow of the mountain and could no longer be seen, and then returned to the city together.

The Lu family was silent, each with their own thoughts, and no one had enough confidence in Lu Xu's almost single-minded northward plan.

Especially Lu Xuan, who is also in charge of the warehouse, knows best what Lu Xu is transporting on the ship, and I don't know if he can earn back the cost after going so far......

After this day, whether it is Lu Xuan, Lu Wen, Han Lu, and Xiao Xia, they are all more passionate than before, and each shop has been open for longer than before.

Lu Xu asked, as if they had discussed, they all said that the weather was warm and the days were longer and they needed to work a little longer.

Lu Xuan: "The mountain store can close early, but the grocery store can't, and it is a busy time before dinner in the evening, and there are still a large number of customers." Big brother, you have nothing to do to help me see where there is a vacant shop, I want to open another multigrain shop. It's best to buy it, I've done the math, it's enough to buy a shop for fourteen or fifteen years, you can ask someone if there's anything in a hurry......"

Lu Xu: "Oh......"

Lu Wen: "Brother, didn't you notice, the evening is the best time for business, which restaurant is closed at this time?" If you don't help, don't get in the way here, I'm very busy. ”

Lu Xu: "......"

Han Lu: "Big brother, come on, I heard Lu Xuan say that you want to open a grain shop for him?" Then you can take a look at where you can open a food shop, both in the south and north of the city, or you can buy the shop in front of our shop, I think they will be yellow sooner or later. ”

She is even more desperate, she also played the original idea of the gambling house.

Lu Xu is in a trance, and the pressure is great, why do you have to buy a shop? Why do they suddenly have such a big appetite?

Because they insisted on extending the operation, the rooms that Lu Xu originally reserved for them were all used, and they lived in the county for five or six days out of ten. Yuan Manniang was very happy about this, and when she went home, her two nieces could chat with her and help her, and she could discuss with them what new attempts she had to make clothes, and let them help come up with ideas.

Young girls know little girls best, and they have the most right to speak.

Hanlu and Xiaoxia are also happy to work in the kitchen, their eldest aunt is not good at cooking, but she has a super good temper, and she is not as economical as their own mother, they think they are wasteful, what do they want to try, Yuan Manniang did not disagree.

With the encouragement of Yuan Manniang, the two of them poured new dishes in the kitchen every day, and ate the whole family's belly round, and within a month, Lu Rui and La Yuexian were visibly fat, and even Lu Zhou and Yan Junqi's faces were more fleshy than before.

Lu Xu was in pain and happy, and always felt that if he continued to eat like this, he would lose his mighty image sooner or later.

However, seeing that Hanlu and Xiao Xia were really interested in pouring these things, he didn't stop them in the slightest, and he also taught them tips from time to time.

Later, seeing that the two of them were cooking more and more exquisitely, Lu Xu was a little sorry that he opened a restaurant that took the cheap route, which delayed the cooking skills of the two of them a little.

Lu Xu thought for a while and gave them an idea: "Why don't you make desserts, hasn't our sweet water shop been gradually improving recently?" Do you try pastries or something like that? ”

Hanlu and Xiaoxia pondered for a long time and began to try.

Let's start with the osmanthus cake, rice sugar cake, pumpkin cake that Lu Xu made before, and then to the colorful hair cake, a good-looking pie......

Gradually, their desserts began to be steamed without sticking to it, and gradually began to be baked.

Lu Xu asked someone to build a small oven in the yard, and the work of moving bricks and stones was naturally indispensable to Lu Xuan's resentful brother.

Lu Xuan: "I'll see what you can do." ”

Hanlu: "Hehe, you wait and see!" ”

When a hot, fluffy chicken cake came out of the oven, the two siblings were stunned.

Lu Xuan: Shocked! This is actually my sister's doing!

Hanlu: Shocked! I made it!

Lu Xu chew it, chew it, it's okay to be so-so, the low-gluten flour sieved out of the fried flour through the sieve, it seems to be almost meaningful, try steaming next time, but I can finally bake a cake.

Lu Kee Food has a new dish, this dish is not a dish, it is a dessert.

The fluffy bread is softer than the steamed buns.

Yellow, soft, sweet, melts in your mouth, and looks good!
