The Sweet Little Fulang - Chapter 198

The second day after the family returned from Jixing Town, Shen Yaoqing still borrowed the mule cart from Lin Shouyi’s family, rushed to the town early in the morning, and delivered twenty-five rabbits to the butcher’s shop. If you want a rabbit in the tavern, go directly to the butcher’s shop to get it, so you don’t have to give it away.

After he arrived, he still helped to kill rabbits and chop meat in the shop, and didn’t come back until the afternoon.

Lu Gu went to the big house with the little Linger who woke up. The good boy followed behind him. When he met a dog from the same village on the road, he went over to sniff each other. At the fork in the road, I saw Shen Yaoqing who was unloading the cover of the mule cart in front of Lin Shouyi’s house.

“Big brother.” He called before he got close.

Shen Yaoqing agreed, and when he saw Xiao Linger with wet eyes, he smiled and said, “Our Linger is crying again.”

After he finished speaking, Nuzui blew a whistle that fluctuated like a tune, and Ling Ge’er laughed in Lu Gu’s arms.

Lu Gu hugged the child and said, “No, I just woke up and kept crying.”

Brother Ling stretched out his arms and wanted Shen Yaoqing to hug him. Shen Yaoqing was happy all of a sudden, took off the car cover, and said with a smile, “I’m happy today? For the sake of face, wait, the uncle pushes the scooter in first.”

When the two of them were talking, Lin Shouyi’s daughter-in-law came out with a bowl. Seeing Xiao Lingjun smiling, she said, “Have you two eaten, or have you eaten at home?”

The Lin family made their lunch late today, and they only ate it at a while. The others were sitting in the main room. Seeing Shen Yaoqing pushing the trolley in, they all asked to eat.

Lu Gu just ate it, and Shen Yaoqing ate it in the town. Bales of hay.

Seeing Brother Ling stretch out his hand for him to hug, Shen Yaoqing patted his hands and clothes, happily taking his younger nephew to hold him.

Lu Gu walked to the big mansion with him and asked, “How is Erqing today?”

Speaking of this, Shen Yaoqing smiled even more and said, “It’s very good, pork is cheap, people who didn’t know about it yesterday came to buy it today, and there was a tavern on the corner who bought 20 yuan at a bargain price. Jin went back, because it was a tavern, I gave them another penny, and when I left, there were only 20 catties left in the shop, and six rabbits were sold, not as many as yesterday.”

“Yeah.” Lu Gu nodded after hearing this. That’s good, and the business is slowly getting started.

The two of them turned into the sloping road, and the good boy took the lead and rushed over like a gust of wind. When Lu Gu entered the yard, he saw it biting and fighting with Xiao Huang.

To say that this year, the good boy is still a little more stable, no longer so skinny, but still not as calm as Da Hui, and his temperament is still like a child.

Ji Qiuyue was boiling water in the back to wash Zhao’er’s dirty clothes. Shen Yaoqing was holding Linger and Zhao’er in the main room to play. He would help Ji Qiuyue if he had nothing to do.

Last year, Shen Xuanqing always took a few days to go hunting in the mountains every month. Now he is looking at shops in the town, and he stays a little longer. For Lu Gu, he is not so unaccustomed. At home, Wei Lanxiang and Shen Yan are helping to take care of the children. , not so tired.

The butcher’s shop has just opened, and it can’t be closed every three or five minutes. People who want to buy meat can’t buy it, and gradually they won’t go there. He still understands this principle.

Shen Yaoqing went to pick Linggeer’s milk fruit in the mountains, and even if Shen Xuanqing was not there, he would not worry about the children not eating.

After six days in a row, Lu Gu put on a tiger hat and piggy shoes for Ling Geer in the room. It was windy today, and the child was used to going out every day. , Xiaozhu shoes were made by Ji Qiuyue, because Lingjun had several pairs of tiger head shoes, so he made a different pair.

It was not windy outside, and the sun was not so cold. He took Brother Xiaoling out. Shen Yan was sewing up her old old clothes. She was busy with spring farming or mowing the grass. No matter how she wore old clothes, she would not feel bad.

Sitting on the chair, she saw Lu Gu hugging Linger, raised her head and slapped the child with two brisk tongues in amusement.

Seeing her sewing clothes, Lu Gu said, “Your second brother has two old clothes that are torn and never lost. I originally wanted to wear a robe, so I picked one up and repaired it. I can wear it even in the field.”

After he arrived at Shen’s house that year, his wedding clothes were sold, and the tattered clothes he wore back were also torn down and worn. There were really few old clothes, and there was a lot of mud in the fields, so he was reluctant to wear new clothes in perfect condition.

The two were talking when they saw the good boy who was out playing wagging his tail and rubbing against Shen Xuanqing’s calf, and came in from the door with a whimper.

Lu Gu’s eyes were full of surprises, but he didn’t expect to come back today.

Shen Yan was also a little surprised, she smiled with her almond eyes, “Second brother, just came back?”

“Well, just arrived, the mule cart is parked over there.” Shen Xuanqing nodded, walked to Lu Gu, bent over and clapped his hands. Sure enough, Brother Xiaoling stretched out his arms for him to hug him when he saw this gesture.

“Ouch.” He felt contented in his heart, and took Brother Xiaoling with a smile. When he woke up this morning, he deliberately shaved his beard and kissed his son on the cheek.

“Have you eaten yet?” Lu Gu’s face smiled slightly, because his eyes were bright, and his smile was particularly beautiful.

“No, I got up early to sell chickens and ducks, and after I took the remaining five rabbits to Big Brother Yang, I drove back without stopping.” Shen Xuanqing was so happy holding Xiao Lingjun, who still remembered him, but he thought they were separated. For several days, the son did not know him.

“Then I’m going to cook, you take a break and drink some water.” Lu Gu said, poured him a bowl of hot tea with a pot, and then went to the kitchen.

After Shen Yan finished sewing the last few stitches, she also got up and went to the kitchen after cutting the thread. She helped to boil the water and warm the steamed buns, and the two of them made it faster together.

“Brother Ling, have you thought about Dad, eh?” Shen Xuanqing sat down with his son and asked with a smile.

Brother Xiaoling couldn’t speak yet. He was held upright and stood with his feet on Shen Xuanqing’s thighs. Knowing that the adults were talking to him, he tilted his head to listen. After Shen Xuanqing finished speaking, he “woohoo” Answered twice, no one could understand what he was saying.

“After thinking about it, Dad knows that our Linger is the best.” Shen Xuanqing pretended to understand, and looked happy when he asked and answered himself.

“Woo.” Good boy squatted at his feet, raised his head to look at him and Brother Xiaoling, as if he was learning how to speak from a child.

Shen Xuanqing was used to talking softly to the child, and he did not change his tone for a while, so he comforted a good boy and said with a smile, “Okay, you are good too.”

When Xiaoling heard the voice of the good boy, he turned to look at it, and the good boy tilted his head and wagged his tail.

At noon, there was half a bowl of fried bacon with winter bamboo shoots left, so Lu Gu just fried a bowl of cabbage and served it quickly.

Even if the food at home is vegetarian, it can’t be compared outside. Shen Xuanqing ate five big steamed buns at a time. After eating, his stomach felt comfortable. He drank a sip of hot tea and said with a smile: “The shop is all sold out, old chicken. The old duck was sold at the market price, it didn’t make a few cents, but it didn’t lose any money. There were forty rabbits in total. The first two days were the cheapest and the fastest selling, and seventeen rabbits were sold in two days.”

He put down the tea bowl, took Xiao Lingjun in his arms, and said, “Pork sells cheaply. Because of the capital, the rabbit still earns a lot of money. It has only been seven or eight days. .”

After listening to this, Lu Gu’s eyes lit up a little, and after doing this, the rabbit sold for a penny a day, which is not bad.

The store is small, so the income is naturally not that much. Like a larger store, there are more orders per day than this. However, Lu Gu doesn’t often walk outside. How do you know this? Even if you do, you won’t be too surprised. How much is it, just be down-to-earth, why compare it with others.

Besides, in addition to the ones they sell themselves, they also have to send seven or eight dozen to Fenggu Town’s brothel every month, and the expensive one for the building is forty-five cents, which is two or three dollars a month at least. .

“Nowadays, we sell a live rabbit for thirty-eight cents, and we don’t lower the price. The skinned one is twenty-five cents, and we don’t negotiate the price too much, but this is for individual customers, like in Big Brother Yang’s tavern. He was so fat in autumn and winter, and a live rabbit gave him thirty cents. He wanted to save some rabbit skins to sell, but he was not an outsider. Besides, he was generous and did not see the outside world. He told me about it. He is open and honest, and I am not stingy either. .”

“Thirty wen is an integer. He has helped a lot. These are all things that should be done.”

Shen Xuanqing hugged his son and kissed, then smiled and said, “Other taverns and restaurants will cost two cents more, and a live rabbit is thirty-two cents. Most of the restaurants that open the restaurant are not to be eaten right away, but most of them are brought back to raise a few. sky.”

Lu Gu listened to him carefully, wrote down the price of the rabbit, and if he went to the town in the future, he would know how to sell it.

Brother Ling didn’t want to sit anymore, so Shen Xuanqing had to get up, walked around the main room with him in his arms, and said, “Since there’s nothing left for sale in the shop, I thought about closing the door and coming back, taking a night’s rest and going back tomorrow.”

“Well, take a night off, change your clothes at night, and I’ll wash it for you tomorrow.” After Lu Gu finished speaking, he asked him with a smile, “What about the changed clothes?”

When they came back from Jixing Town that day, Shen Xuanqing was wearing another outfit.

“It got dirty the day before yesterday, and my wife saw it and asked me to replace it. She helped wash it in the backyard.” Shen Xuanqing replied.

Lu Gu nodded, that was the case, because the animals were slaughtered in the shop, and the meat would be splashed with foam when chopping the meat. Shen Xuanqing has been wearing old clothes recently, and even if it is stained with blood, it does not feel bad.

When the second son came back, Wei Lanxiang hurried back to her hometown after finishing her work at the big mansion, only to feel relieved after asking about the meal.

It was blowing outside, and Linger’s skin was tender. Shen Xuanqing was reluctant to take him out. He kept walking around in the main room. When she came back, he said, “Mother, go back to Aunt Gu and borrow a loom to weave a few pieces of linen, and hang the meat on the wooden frame. It’s good to cover it, and it’s fine now, but when it’s hot the next day, if flies and insects land on the meat, it will look too salted, and the pork and mutton will be longer, and the chickens, ducks, and rabbits will be cut into small pieces.”

“Okay, what’s the problem? I’ll go to your Aunt Lian’s house to weave cloth tomorrow.” Wei Lanxiang agreed and asked him, “How did you eat these days? Go to your master’s house?”

Shen Xuanqing smiled and said, “It’s often like this. Master goes to my place every day when he’s fine. When it’s time for dinner, either he calls or the mistress comes over. I also ate a few times at the noodle restaurant. I didn’t open fire myself. Just move the rice noodles and sauerkraut to Master’s side.”

Because he was going to eat in the town, Wei Lanxiang packed a sack of rice and a sack of ground white noodles. He couldn’t mix the noodles and cook a rice soup. The meat shop was the least lacking in meat. As for the vegetables, he took ten of them. The big sauerkraut passed, and there was a small jar of sauerkraut, which was enough to eat for a while.

This is the case with young men.

Wei Lanxiang thought that it was fine, so she said, “Okay, in the future, you will only go over to eat, you don’t have to be restrained.”

After she finished speaking, she said, “Let your wife steam some steamed buns and bring them back to the shop. If you are hungry at night, there is no sauerkraut, so you don’t have to worry about food.”

Being a mother can’t help or worry about other things, so she can only tell her to eat and wear.
