In the fourth room.

Luo Shi finally washed the several little ones perfunctorily and put them on the bed.

While she was pouring water, she walked outside the kitchen several times and smelled the sweet scent of loquat paste coming from inside.

She opened the window and wanted to take a peek, but the figure of Mrs. Xu Zhang coming out through the blackened oil paper window in the kitchen made her scared and she didn't dare to go.

I could only take a few deep breaths.

The loquat dew that was not sold out today was hung in the well and packed tightly.

She wanted to steal a bowl to satisfy her craving, but the bucket weighed more than a hundred kilograms. She wanted to get it up from the well, but there was so much noise that Xu Zhang was still awake. She didn't dare to give her the courage.

move.

I could only wander around outside with a sly look on my face, and then honestly went into the house.

The children are still recalling the taste of the meat buns they had at night.

"Dad, do you think I will buy meat buns for us tomorrow?!" Xiao Liuzi sucked his fingers and drooled.

"Dad, you went to the county town today. Are there many people in the county town? Is it fun? You can take me to the county town sometime. It is said that freshly cooked meat buns taste better, right, Dad?

"

Xu Laosi agreed silently.

I tossed and turned in bed unable to sleep.

Seeing Luo Shi come in, he opened his mouth and said: "Where have you gone to wander the soul? Why don't you come in and put the child to sleep!"

"I'm pouring water and going to the toilet! Boss, I see my sister and mother are still busy in the kitchen making loquat paste. They have boiled another pot. Why don't you take it out and give us a tube to taste? Boss,

Have you tasted loquat paste today?" When Luo Shi spoke, he kept in mind the central idea - eat.

Xu Laosi had nothing in common with her, "Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat. Just think of something in your mind, okay?"

"Besides eating, what else can you think about?"

Roche went to bed and put the children to sleep.

The children had been tired for a day and slept heavily. Luo Shi patted and coaxed them with his hands, and almost all of them fell asleep quickly.

Xu Laosi couldn't sleep because he was thinking about something.

Luo Shi couldn't sleep, his nose was twitching in the air, like a dog's nose, and he could only smell the sweet fragrance wafting from the kitchen outside.

It's a pity that I can't eat it.

He yawned and said, "Master, it's so late, my mother and my sister are still boiling loquat paste, and they don't even let me take a look. Are they particularly profitable? How much money did my sister make today?"

?”

She originally just asked casually and didn't expect Xu Laosi to answer. Who knows, Xu Laosi raised three fingers to the light outside the window!

Let Roche see it clearly.

The kitchen is close to the four-bedroom house, and the light in the kitchen can be reflected in their house.

Luo Shi guessed enthusiastically, "30 Wen? No, it sold for 95 Wen in the town, and it should be more than 95 Wen in the county. That's three ounces of money? Oh, that's okay, three ounces of money, more than 300 Wen, this

It is indeed sold much more than in the town..."

Xu Laosi looked into the darkness and rolled his eyes, "It's more than three taels of silver to get rid of your uncle! More than three thousand coins! Thirty ounces of money!!"

Roche was shocked!!

Most of my sleepiness has gone away.

He was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses and said, "Oh, Master, is it true? This is too much. How many meat buns can I buy? I eat meat buns every day until my mouth is soft and I can't finish them. One thousand

If you eat one meaty bun a day, it will take you more than a thousand days, that is, more than three years. If you eat meaty buns every day for three years, tsk, tsk, tsk... my mother-in-law..."

Xu Laosi suddenly felt that life was boring. What kind of wife did he marry?

Everything can be associated with food.

"Shut up. Mom told us not to tell anyone else. If you dare to tell others, I will kill you. Do you hear that?"

Luo Shi agreed repeatedly, "I know, I won't tell, I won't tell. Boss, this loquat ointment is too profitable. Does this old girl earn money to pay to the father-in-law, or to save dowry?"

"My father-in-law, my mother said, no one should be greedy for my sister's dowry. However, my sister is also generous. All the money she earned today was used to repair the cellar, and the rest of the money will probably be handed over.

In my mother’s hands, my mother will definitely keep it for her, you and I don’t have to think about it, just save a small amount of money every day.”

"Yes, yes, wages, it's good to have wages! No wonder my sister said today that everyone has wages. It turns out that it's so profitable. Then, the head of the house, does my sister give us the same wages? I peel the fruit.

How much do you charge me in a day? If you deliver goods, how much do I charge you in a day?"

When it comes to money, Luo's eyes light up.

She is not someone who only thinks about eating.

There is still money! Money is equal to food!

If you have money, you can do things easily. If you have money, you can eat whatever you want.

"I don't know. You don't have to count on much if your mother is here. I'm thinking, how about we do it ourselves? The bunch of lazy guys in your mother's family are idle anyway. If they have nothing to do, they can do it.

I'm going to pick fruits and make loquat paste. I'm delivering the goods anyway. I know the boss in the county, so I can help sell them..." Xu Laosi lowered his voice.

When Luo Shi heard this, he became energetic and said, "I think it's okay. Boss, I will go to my mother's house tomorrow to talk about it. There is a problem. You can pick any fruit, but we don't know how to make loquat paste! Mother won't let us see it either.

Are you afraid that we will learn from it secretly? How can we deal with this?"

"You have been secretly paying attention these past few days. There is also Erya who has been helping my old sister. Ask her if she knows how to put sugar in it. I think it shouldn't be difficult. When you are at home, be diligent with your hands and feet. It's a bit

With your eyesight, you can see if you can learn it in a few days. If you can, we will start to secretly work on it for a few days. The fruit period is still ten days away, so don’t worry, you can make a little money even if you work on it for one day."

This is Xu Laosi's plan. It's such a simple and good opportunity to make money. It's great to be able to do it secretly.

Anyway, there are so many fruits in the wild loquat forest, and it would be a waste just to leave them alone.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, my boss. If I learn it, I'll tell you."

"Yeah! Pay attention, be more careful, be a bit of a thief, you know?"

"good!"

…

…

Xu Jiaojiao cooked dozens of bamboo tubes of loquat paste and several large barrels of loquat dew overnight.

Before dawn the next morning, Xu Laosi and Xu Erlang took an ox cart to the county town.

After the delivery was gone, Xu Jiaojiao began to fall into bed.

Then everyone in Lao Xu's family started to get up and get busy.

The business in the town has stopped, and people are no longer needed. Even if they do, they can't sell for much money, and they still need people. Now that there are orders from the county, all the energy of the old Xu family's people is focused on digging cellars and going into the mountains.
