MTL - The Sweet Little Fulang-Chapter 151
After the rabbit is settled, Luo Biao will go to Qingxi Village to look for him when Luo Biao and Lou Li have settled down.
Shen Xuanqing paused, did not hide the hesitation, and asked again: "When I came in just now, I saw the girls in the building all holding handkerchiefs. Where do they usually buy their handkerchiefs?"
Luo Biao was a little surprised by these words, how could he bring the handkerchief up, but he still replied, "I don't know, but I heard from Hongyao two days ago that the embroidery workshop sent people to deliver the handkerchief, and she sent the little maid to come here. The steward picked it up, and it must have been sent by the embroidery workshop."
"Brother Shen, why did you say this?" He couldn't help but ask, after all, it's quite unusual for a big man to suddenly ask about embroidery.
Shen Xuanqing smiled and said, "Gu Zi knows how to do embroidery work. I used to come to town to sell some handkerchiefs and fans. It's hard to sell handkerchiefs along the street. I just wanted to ask how much it costs to buy handkerchiefs in the building."
The girl and Shuang'er in the building couldn't get out, so they had to be sent by someone else. He wanted to ask the price. After all, he had never done business with women and Shuang'er, so he didn't know.
"What do I think it is, why is this difficult..." However, Luo Biao stopped when he said this, and did not continue.
He was used to staying in the building, and he didn't realize it until he said it. The chickens, ducks and rabbits in the back kitchen are not in the way, but handkerchiefs and other personal objects are better to sell to others. If they are sold directly to the girls in the brothel, Yu Lu Gu Bad reputation.
He scolded inwardly, this world is so abominable, the girl and Shuang'er in the building are not good people, and secretly annoyed that he has slipped, he quickly brought a pot to Shen Xuanqing and added tea to apologize: "Second brother Shen, don't take it to heart. "
"It's okay." Shen Xuanqing smiled and didn't care about that.
Luo Biao thought about it, and said, "The handkerchief should be from Zhiyun Embroidery Workshop. I am a big old man and don't know any embroidery thread. I am not familiar with the embroidery workshop, but I heard Hongyao and the others talk about it sometimes. Expensive is not expensive, you can buy eight or ten."
"Okay, I know it in my heart." Shen Xuanqing nodded and said, Lu Gu sold a handkerchief for only three cents, but unfortunately in a place like brothel, it is not easy for ordinary people to contaminate it, otherwise the price is still very good.
He had already said what he had to say. He didn’t sit for a long time before he got up and said goodbye. When he went back, he still had all kinds of work to do. If it’s cold today, both the new house and the old house have to stock up on firewood. Livestock must also be heated by fire.
Before leaving, he left the four rabbits to Luo Biao, so that he could have a look when negotiating the price with the building.
After he left, Luo Biao returned home, picked up a fat rabbit and entered the small gate of the brothel. Since Shen Xuanqing explained it to him, he naturally had to do it early.
Speaking of which, this time he patted his chest and said that he would definitely be able to accomplish this. It is also because his status in the building is different from before, and he has friendship with the accountant and a few stewards in the building. It can be said that he is highly regarded. Sometimes it's not bad to go out to help the building to run errands. It's natural to have some status among the thugs in the nursing homes.
And all of this was thanks to the 12 taels of silver that Shen Xuanqing gave him last year.
He knew that it was all kinds of money, and Shen Xuanqing trusted him so much, he naturally did not dare to neglect, and tried his best to inquire about the Li family, but if it was him, he would only rely on the monthly money from the building. , Sometimes you have to get some bonus money, and you only have to save it for a year or two.
It was through this that he had the capital to buy gifts, wine and friendship, and gradually he became a little bit more.
In the past, Shen Xuanqing gave his mother two steamed buns when he was about to die, but now it is only because of the 12 taels of silver that Shen Xuanqing gave him. This kindness, let alone pulling Li Mingshan off his horse, is to call him up The mountain of swords and the sea of fire do not know how to pay off.
The reason why Shen Xuanqing was able to give him 10 taels of money with confidence was because he knew that he was loyal and could handle things properly, otherwise, if it was someone else, he would never give 10 taels so much.
—
Pulling weeds is a slow job, you have to be careful about the wheat seedlings in the field, and naturally you can't get up quickly.
When it was almost noon, Wei Lanxiang went back to cook, and Lu Gu and Shen Yan continued to work in the fields. The two of them were not afraid of being alone when they stayed together. Besides, the surrounding fields were full of people from Qingxi Village. The three uncles and three aunts are also not far away.
The sun shone brightly and hot overhead, Lu Gu walked to the field ridge, picked up the earthenware pot with both hands, poured water into the bowl, and called Shen Yan over after drinking half of the bowl.
He straightened up, just as the wind was blowing, bringing a slight chill, he looked at the large tracts of cultivated fields and looked into the distance. There were so many fields at home, and even if winter was coming, he no longer had the previous fear in his heart.
"No more." Shen Yan drank half the bowl and wanted to pour more, but found that the crock pot was empty, so he had to put the bowl on the mouth of the crock pot and also stood on the field ridge to rest.
"It's time, let's go, go back and drink again." Seeing that she was thirsty and hungry, Lu Gu picked up the pot and went out.
"Guzi, Yanyan." Before the two of them could go out, they heard Shen Xuanqing's voice from a distance, calling them to go home for dinner, and the good boy followed.
Shen Yan saw the fluffy tail of the good boy, and stroked it, and patted the sturdy body of the good boy, and said, "I saw Tian'er hunting and running on the mountain, but I didn't see him losing weight."
Shen Xuanqing chuckled softly, the good boy is actually strong, and because he was raised so well, his coat became thicker when it was cold, and he looked fatter than other dogs.
On the other hand, Lu Gu defended the good boy: "This is the fur for the winter. It just looks fat. In summer, the fur will be thinner when there is not so much fur."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of Shen Yan slapping the boy's body, and he was very stocky when he heard it. He rubbed the furry dog's head again, thinking that the word "thin" seemed a bit unreasonable.
Shen Xuanqing didn't say anything next to him, but he couldn't help laughing, thinking that even in summer, he didn't see that the boy was too thin.
But he still didn't speak, he couldn't lose face to Lu Gu.
Seeing that there were two dogs at the entrance of the village, the good boy ran over, and when the three of Lu Gu came over, they found that the big yellow dog from Lin Jinhu's family also came out to play.
Because of the puppies, the big yellow dog is much thinner than before, with several pairs of puppies drooping under its belly, swaying as it walks, the puppies are already two months old, and the **** sometimes gets tired of feeding and will run out. I haven't been home for a long time, and every time Lin Jinhu's daughter-in-law calls back, she is reluctant to go home.
The puppies were fed for three months and brought home to support them. Lu Gu and Shen Xuanqing spent more than a month on the mountain before, and when they came back, they only saw four puppies playing in the courtyard at the door of Lin Jinhu's house. Once a stranger in the family wants to see the puppy, Lin Jinhu's family must be there, otherwise the **** will bite.
Because their house was at the back of the village, they still had to pass by Lin Jinhu's house, so Lu Gu subconsciously looked into the courtyard gate, but he didn't see the four pups today.
Seeing his eyes, Shen Xuanqing said, "I'll come and see after dinner."
"Okay." Lu Gu nodded.
Wei Lanxiang at home had already put the meal on the table and was waiting for them to come back.
There are fewer wild vegetables now, but there are dried wild vegetables that were dried before. I steamed a pot of wild vegetable buns, and the taste is also very good. A salted duck egg, just enough for the six of them.
Shen Xuanqing picked out a duck with a lot of egg yolk and gave it to Lu Gu. When cutting it, the red oil got on the egg whites, and it looked good.
With such a blatant choice, even if Wei Lanxiang didn't speak, he happily let Lu Gu eat quickly.
The duck eggs used for pickling at home are all from Lu Gu, and Wei Lanxiang's duck eggs are all for sale, so other people can't say Shen Xuanqing, they should be eaten.
Due to the large number of people, the bowls used to serve dishes in their homes are all large bowls, otherwise there are two young and strong men, too few are not enough to eat.
In the dining room, Zhao'er woke up in the room, and no one was in front of him and cried, Ji Qiuyue quickly put down the half of the wild vegetable buns left in her hand, and went into the room to hold the child.
Shen Yaoqing turned to look inside the room, and before she swallowed what was in her mouth, she heard Wei Lanxiang say, "Eat yours, and I'll change to Qiuyue after I finish eating."
"Okay." He agreed vaguely.
After eating, Lu Gu washed the dishes as usual. He poured the water into the kitchen, and Shen Xuanqing came in later.
"How about going to town today?" he asked while cleaning the chopping board. He was busy talking about other things when he came back from the field just now, so he didn't even bother to ask this.
"Not bad, one rabbit sold for forty-five cents, but only two." Shen Xuanqing said, took out his purse from his arms, opened it, handed it all to Lu Gu, and said, "No Tomorrow is the day after tomorrow, I will go up the mountain again, and I can beat as many foxes as I can, or if I stay at home for a long time, I won’t be able to go up again when it snows.”
"You can spend these coins. I don't need money to go to the mountain."
After speaking, seeing Lu Gu's hand in his hands, he took a step forward and shoved the purse directly into Lu Gu's arms.
Lu Gu didn't go to the new house today, and asked subconsciously, "Then there are four more, have you brought them back?"
"No, I'll give it to Luo Biao, let him ask if we want rabbits in the building, and leave the four for the cook to see. We should be able to wait for the news in two days. If we buy them in the building, we will send them there in the future. With stable income, you may not be able to buy too much in the building, but in this way, you will be able to go to the streets and shout less in the future.”
Send it to the brothel.
Lu Gu's subordinates paused and looked up at Shen Xuanqing.
Shen Xuanqing didn't understand what he meant, and explained with a smile: "Although it is a brothel, but we are dealing with the back kitchen, go through the small door at the back, and don't go to the building in front, just like a restaurant, it's not in the way. ."
It turned out that, Lu Gu nodded to indicate that he understood, he lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then raised his face and asked hesitantly: "You, did you go to Luo Biao?"
Luo Biao was working as a thug in the brothel, if Shen Xuanqing went to him, is it...
As soon as these words came out, Shen Xuanqing was stunned before he reacted, and quickly explained: "I went to find him, but I didn't enter the brothel. Luo Biao lives in the alley next to the brothel."
Lu Gu was a little embarrassed, he didn't dislike Luo Biao, he could let Shen Xuanqing say that he was a good person, but he was definitely not a bad person. He just heard about the brothel and didn't know what to think, so he was a little scared, seeing Shen Xuanqing in a hurry now After explaining, he looked embarrassed, but said in a low voice, "I know."
Know that you definitely didn't go in.
Even if the latter sentence was not spoken, Shen Xuanqing understood it. He smiled and pinched Lu Gu's face, then looked out, seeing that there was no one in the courtyard, he quickly lowered his head and took a light bite on Lu Gu's mouth.
"You." Lu Gu was most afraid of being kissed during the day, so he was a little anxious. He wanted to argue but didn't dare to speak loudly, so he could only frown at Shen Xuanqing to show his dissatisfaction with him.
Shen Xuanqing was no longer the thin-skinned young man he used to be. He smiled and said in a low voice, "Who told you to wrong me, this is an apology."
