Chapter 37
"What about Uncle Lu? I bumped into someone just now, and that person seems to be very rich." Li Tugen ran to Uncle Lu and said nervously.
"fine."
"Really?" Li Tugen still didn't believe it.
He used to do business with Miss Xiao Min in the town, and he often saw the landlord's son bullying men and women on the street.
Although the young masters of several other wealthy merchants are not so excessive, they are not too far behind.
This made Li Tugen even a little allergic to the young masters of rich families.
"En." Lu Changge responded, his eyes signaled that he should go to the shopkeeper to discuss cooperation.
Standing behind the counter all the time, even the shopkeeper of Feiyunlou who saw clearly the episode of bumping into people just now.
Seeing the person coming over, he said expressionlessly, "Is there anything the guest can do? If you want to eat, the waiter will receive you."
"Uh...we want to talk to the shopkeeper about cooperation."
After Li Tugen finished speaking, Li Xiaomin on the side opened the snack box containing cooked food.
There was only one plate inside, but there were several kinds of cooked food on the plate.
Three pieces of stewed meat, two boneless chicken feet, one chopstick cold shredded chicken, etc., and several other cooked foods.
As soon as the lid is lifted, the fragrance is released instantly.
The shopkeeper who just wanted to refuse was so shocked by the overbearing fragrance that he was speechless.
Several customers passing by had just paid their bills and were about to leave when they smelled it.
"Treasurer Jin, what kind of dish is this so delicious, is it a new product from Feiyunlou?"
"New product? Give me a copy from the shopkeeper."
"Give us one too!"
The few guests who had just walked in and were about to eat also smelled it, and hurriedly said.
"Guests, please be patient. This is indeed a new product that we are planning to launch at Feiyun Tower. We will put up a wooden plate for the dish in the past two days. Come and join us when the time comes." Shopkeeper Jin comforted him.
After all the guests around had dispersed, shopkeeper Jin looked at Lu Changge and the others apologetically.
"Three, how about we go to the second floor to talk about cooperation?"
"Okay." Li Tugen glanced at Uncle Lu and nodded.
Naturally, Li Tugen's petty actions couldn't be hidden from the shrewd shopkeeper Jin.
The shopkeeper Jin observed the man quietly, and finally came to the conclusion that this man is not a treasure, and it must be something simple.
Half an hour later, the cooperation was over.
The two parties had a pleasant talk and finally decided on a cooperation plan.
Li Xiaomin can only cooperate with Feiyunlou, and provides two kinds of cooked food every day, each providing fifty servings, and the unit price is determined by the type of meat.
The type of cooked food can be decided by Li Xiaomin.
Another collaboration is buyout cookbooks.
Now Feiyun Pavilion has bought out the recipe for boneless chicken feet, and the buyout price is two hundred silver.
After talking about cooperation, Li Tugen and Li Xiaomin followed Uncle Lu with bright smiles and left.
On the second floor of Feiyun Tower, a young man looked at Li Tugen and the other three who had already gone downstairs.
The plate of cooked food on the table in front of him was exactly what was in Li Xiaomin's food box just now.
The delicate boy withdrew his gaze, picked up the chopsticks to pick up a piece of boneless chicken feet, but was stopped by the waiter at the side.
"Your Highness, this food is really..."
"It's okay." The boy ignored the servant's words, and put a piece into his mouth.
After chewing a few times, I was immediately overwhelmed by the spicy taste in my mouth.
……
After discussing cooperation with Feiyunlou and Fuguilou, Lu Changge and others left the inner city.
When I got home, the firewood ordered by the people from Dental Shop had arrived and was piled up in the yard.
There are almost 60 bundles of firewood, 20 bundles for each family.
Moving the firewood outside the small kitchen, Lu Changge started cooking.
In the yard, a few little guys are playing games.
The size of the yard is small, except for the green brick path embedded in the cross, there is also a well and two water tanks in the yard.
A large flat boulder hollowed out to form a pool.
In addition, among the four pieces of land divided by the green brick path, three pieces of land were directly abandoned there.
"Uncle Lu, there are three unused fields in the yard, can I grow vegetables on them?" Li Tugen shouted standing in the yard.
"can."
Hearing Uncle Lu's answer, Li Tugen took out his hoe and prepared to plow the ground.
His grandfather will cook the lunch, and now he has to hurry up and plant the vegetables.
"Brother, do you want to dig the soil and grow vegetables?" Li Goudan, who was playing with other children, saw his brother digging the soil and ran over to ask.
"Yes." Li Tugen replied casually.
Turn over the ground that has been somewhat compacted, and then hoe the mud.
"Brother Tuwa, when will Cai Cai grow?" Xiao Tuanzi also ran over and asked curiously.
"It will take many days."
"How many days is a lot of days?" The four tigers on the side also came to join in the fun.
"It will grow in fifteen days." Li Tugen quickly turned over one piece of land, and then went to another piece with a hoe.
For some green vegetables with a short growth period, it takes about half a month to 23 to [-] days from sowing to harvesting.
Naturally, Li Tugen didn't expect to grow vegetables in the yard for the vegetables sold to Fuguilou.
The greens grown in the yard are left for them to eat.
The vegetables sold to Fuguilou were grown in single pots in the house.
The nutrient soil and the cultivation liquid are two-pronged, and a crop can be harvested in half an hour.
There are three rooms in the west wing, one for Li Tugen alone, one for Grandpa Li and two and a half year old Li Goudan.
The last remaining room is for Li Tugen to grow vegetables.
"Fifteen days..." The little ones began to count on their own fingers.
"Wow! More than my two hands." Sihu stretched out his two little hands, surprised.
"Fifteen days... Goudan's two hands and Wo's one hand." Xiaotuanzi stretched out his left hand to Goudan.
"Yes." Li Tugen replied while bending over to hoe the ground.
Seeing them all gathered around, Li Tugen stopped what he was doing and stood up straight.
"Go play elsewhere, it's dangerous here."
"it is good!"
"Would you like to go outside to play?" Xiaotuanzi pointed to the gate.
"I want to go too……"
"Is it fun outside?"
Seeing that they were eager to try, Li Tugen interrupted the discussions of the little ones.
"It's time to eat, so I can't go out."
"Will you be generous after eating?"
"Tuanzi can ask your father, if Uncle Lu agrees."
Just as he was talking, Lu Changge just came out of the small kitchen with a food box.
"Tuanzi, come in and eat."
"Oh!" Tuanzi responded and ran over quickly.
"Brother Tuanzi, remember to ask Uncle Lu!" Sihu shouted from behind.
"Good!"
The dumplings were called to eat, and it didn't take long for Grandpa Li and Li Xiaomin's family to cook.
After entering the room and closing the door, Lu Changge went in with a food box and asked Tuanzi, "What do you want to ask me?"
"Wo wants to go out to play with Goudan and the others, Brother Tuwa wants to ask Daddy." Xiaotuanzi replied, and then asked: "Daddy, why don't you go out and play after dinner?"
"No." Lu Changge directly refused.
"Ah... why?" Xiaotuanzi was a little disappointed.
"Why? Didn't daddy tell you before? Forgot again?" Lu Changge lowered his head and looked at Tuanzi standing at his feet.
"what?"
"What can't children do?" Lu Changge gave some hints.
"Oh! Wo didn't forget!" Xiaotuanzi suddenly realized, "There is a lot of bad money outside, children can't send a lot of money, and you have to go out with your parents! Daddy, is what Wo said right?"
"Yes, so I can't go out to play with Goudan and the others." Lu Changge put out the food and nodded.
"Bring Dahei Erhei with you, and Dahei Erhei will protect you!"
[Big black and two black?If you take them with you, little master, those two stupid dogs will definitely be caught and eaten by people outside.They can't even protect themselves, and certainly can't protect the little master. ] Erto laughed aloud.
"Ah? Why do they want the second big black and the second black?" Xiaotuanzi asked with some fear.
[Because they have no meat to eat. ]
"Okay, let's eat." Lu Changge interrupted their conversation.
After eating, Xiaotuanzi and the other little guys didn't bother to go out to play anymore.
And he also looked at Dahei and Erhei, not allowing them to step out of the gate, for fear that those bad guys would come out from somewhere and snatch Dahei and Erhei away.
After eating, Li Tugen also went to collect a crop of vegetables.
The two went out to fetch water with six wooden buckets.
Before going out, Lu Changge specifically asked who would go with him, and the little guys shook their heads in unison, and even ran away.
Only Xiaotuanzi stayed where they were.
"Does Tuanzi want to go?" Li Tugen asked aloud.
"I want to go..." Tuanzi wanted to go, but hesitated.
"Follow if you want to go."
Hearing his father's voice, Xiaotuanzi ran over with a smile on his face.
Dad said that children can't send a few out, but he went out with Dad, and those bad guys would definitely not dare to get close.
"Who else is going? Go without us."
"I'm going!" Li Tugen's younger brother Li Goudan rushed over.
"I'll go too!" Li Sihu looked at his sister and ran over.
"Sanya, what about you?" Li Tugen looked at Li Sanya who was still there.
"I... I won't go, my sister and I are at home." Sanya shook her head and said.
In the end, there were three more kids and Erhei in the water-carrying team, and Dahei stayed to guard the house.
In the residential area, the original separate yard is equipped with a well.
But eight months into the drought, well levels have begun to drop.
Therefore, two centralized water fetching areas had to be set up in the outer city.
One is at the end of the fifth alley in the residential area.
There is a nearly hundred-year-old tree there, and a large well with a diameter of two meters is 300 meters away from the old tree.
As soon as Lu Changge and the others rented the courtyard, it happened to be in the fifth alley.
Go out and walk into the alley again, pass through three courtyard gates, and the alley ends at the end.
As soon as he walked out of the alley, his eyes suddenly opened up.
The location of the big well looks like a small modern square.
But there are no recreational facilities here, only a big tree and a big well.
There are a few stone tables and chairs under the big tree. In hot weather, some old people should come to enjoy the shade and play chess by the way.
It's still cold now, but it's a little deserted.
The large well is two meters in diameter, and several people can draw water at the same time.
The fence built around it is about two-thirds of the normal back of an ordinary person, in case someone stumbles and falls.
There is only one hand-cranked water fetcher, and many people are waiting in line.
There are also a few who pull it up with bare hands, but they are all men with relatively strong stature.
Lu Changge looked around, then walked over to get a bucket.
Hold the rope firmly in one hand, and then throw down the wooden barrel tied to the other end of the rope.
Pulling the rope in his hand, he felt that the barrel at the other end had completely sunk into the water.
Lu Changge retracted the rope with both hands, his movements were steady and fast, and he was not affected by the weight at all.
In a few breaths, a bucket full of water was pulled up.
Li Tugen on the side brought the bucket closer and asked Uncle Lu to pour it in.
After pouring water into their buckets, Lu Changge threw the bucket down again, and soon pulled another bucket up.
"Uncle Lu, you are so fast!" Li Tugen praised.
When Lu Changge heard this, he stopped pouring water, and looked up at Li Tugen expressionlessly.
"What... what's the matter, Uncle Lu?" Li Tugen asked doubtfully.
Lu Changge didn't speak, just gave him a look to understand, and then continued to fetch water.
Li Tugen: "???"
What did Uncle Lu mean by that look?
Can't figure it out.jpg
Lu Changge poured six buckets of water quickly, and the whole process took less than 10 minutes.
The brothers and men on the side all looked over and discussed in low voices while queuing up.
"Which family is this guy from, it seems like I've never seen it before..."
"I don't know, but he fetches water so fast, and I don't know if he is married..." This is a brother from a certain family who came to carry water with his family.
"At this age... you should be married, right?"
"Ah? Come on, I finally fell in love with one..."
"Laughing to death...Even if he is not married, would he like you as a brother?" This is the deadly enemy of the brother who spoke before.
"That's always better than you. Look at how fat you are? A brother is fat like a ball, and no one wants him when he's old!"
"you!"
People who talk in low voices chatter and chatter.
Lu Changge, who was the object of their quarrel, had already gone back with Li Tugen carrying water.
Li Tugen walked in front with two buckets, and Lu Changge walked behind with two buckets on his shoulders and two buckets in his hand, even so, he did not waver at all.
There were three little guys chasing and fighting behind Lu Changge, and Erhei walked behind the team.
Soon, home.
The little ones cheered and ran in.
The two water tanks in the yard have been cleaned before and can be poured directly in.
Six buckets of water were poured in, only reaching one-fifth of the tank.
Lu Changge and Li Tugen walked back and forth ten times to fill up two large water tanks and six buckets.
After picking up the water, Lu Changge took out all the diapers he had accumulated before, as well as the clothes his family changed yesterday.
Take out the washtub and washboard again.
"Daddy, where are you going?" Xiaotuanzi asked out loud.
"Go do the laundry."
"The nest is going too!"
"I am coming too!"
"And I!"
In the end, Lu Changge took two buckets of clothes and went out to do the laundry with the three kids and Erhei.
Walk 100 meters to the right of Dashuijing, and there is a 15 yuan stone slab.
Because it is troublesome to carry water, many people will bring clothes to wash.
Or save it for a few days and then take it over and wash it together.
Those who come to do the laundry are brothers or daughters, or the daughter-in-law of the family.
Today, a tall, strong and strong man rarely appeared.
Lu Changge walked over with the child, found a place where there was no one on the left and right, and put down his clothes.
Then he took the bucket to fetch water.
"Stay here and don't run around." Before leaving, Lu Changge told the three kids.
"it is good!"
"I know, Daddy, Tuanzi will be obedient!"
After Lu Changge left with the bucket in hand, the little ones ran up to the big stone slab, and even slipped to a place where no one was around.
Erhei was sitting next to the laundry tub, guarding the clothes and human cubs.
The brothers and brides who were washing clothes around looked at them curiously while doing the laundry.
He also whispered to the people next to him.
Soon, Lu Changge came over with two buckets of water and poured them into the tub.
Two buckets of water can fully soak the clothes in the basin. Lu Changge rolled up the sleeves to the joints and folded them, squatted down and started washing the clothes.
Erbao's urine was all over the diaper, so Lu Changge washed the clothes first, and then washed the diaper later.
The clothes at home were first washed by Su Qingyun.
Later, after Su Qingyun became pregnant with dumplings, Lu Changge took over the job of doing laundry.
until now.
After washing clothes for three years in a row, Lu Changge also went from rotten clothes when he rubbed them in the beginning, to practice makes perfect now.
After washing the clothes, Lu Changge poured the diapers into the basin again, soaked them and started washing.
At this time, someone came over from the two stone slabs next to it.
The dumpling that was playing on it hurried down, ran behind daddy, and looked up at them curiously.
"What's wrong?" Lu Changge who was washing clothes suddenly asked.
The two girls who had just walked over heard it and thought they were talking to them, "Huh?" Subconsciously looked over.
"Daddy, Wohegoudan and Sihu want to play with the big tree." Xiaotuanzi whispered while lying on his father's back.
"En." Lu Changge responded, and said, "You can't run around the well."
"it is good!"
The three little guys cheered, and ran over with small steps.
Erhei at the side saw it, stood up and shook his hair, and then followed.
Seeing that it was their father and son who were talking, a girl who had misunderstood blushed and hurried away to find another place.
It was another girl who looked curiously at the tall man squatting beside him doing laundry.
Erbao had a lot of diapers, and it took Lu Changge more than 40 minutes to wash them all for the first time.
After wringing out the water, Lu Changge took out the washboard and poured out the dirty water in the basin.
In front of the stone slab, there is a canal leading to the farming area, and the water left over from washing clothes can be poured into it.
After the first wash, Lu Changge went to fetch water with a bucket.
Hearing the sound of leaving footsteps, a certain girl who was secretly following Lu Changge looked up and saw the tall figure of the man.
After washing the dirty one, wash it twice with clean water.
Lu Changge wrung out the last three diapers and put them in the bucket.
Two buckets of clothes are carried, and the other hand holds the wooden basin and washboard.
Lu Changge saw a few little guys still having fun at the big tree, and shouted: "Tuanzi, go back."
Hearing Daddy's voice, the running Tuanzi suddenly stopped and looked over, and saw Daddy picking up something and preparing to leave.
"Come on!" Tuanzi ran towards his father, and still didn't forget to turn his head to greet his friends: "Sihu, you're going home!"
When the little guys came back and ran in front of him, Lu Changge raised his heels.
Erhei, who followed, walked on the master's left.
"Uncle Lu, can you come over to play tomorrow?" Goudan said excitedly, his face flushed.
"Brother Jin Bao said that he will bring friends there tomorrow." Sihu said.
Jin Bao's brother in the mouth of the four tigers is a four-year-old child. They met while playing under the big tree just now.
"Is it rich?" Xiao Tuanzi was also looking forward to it.clam
"Yes." Lu Changge nodded.
"yeah!"
Just when I got home, the little guys cheered and ran in.
Erhei was the last to go in, glanced at the humans who had been following them just now, and closed the door with a bang.
Just now, a certain girl who had followed them all the way was a little surprised when she saw them entering the courtyard that had been empty until now.
"Sanni, what are you doing standing outside and not coming in at the door?" The opposite door opened, and an old woman came out.
"It's nothing." Sanni took one last look, then turned and walked into the house.
