The group of people settled down, but Mr. Zhuang was not in a hurry to take them out. Instead, he restrained the three of them in the residence, resting and staring at them reading.

Daji stayed at home to take care of them, while Zhou Zhoulang went out with some dried ginger and privet seeds. When he came back, he bought a lot of rice noodles and vegetables.

He used the money that everyone paid to him.

Zhou Zhoulang also knows how to keep accounts, but his memory is not as good as Man Bao, so as soon as he returned to his residence, he put down his things and went to find Man Bao, took a pen with her, and wrote down the accounts, and then said: "Okay, It's too expensive to eat outside, I bought rice, noodles, oil, salt, and today's food, let's cook."

Everyone in the study looked up at him together.

Zhou Zhoulang met their gazes, skipped Mr. Zhuang directly, exchanged glances with the three younger ones, then looked away resolutely, and looked at Daji.

The two stared at each other, but Daji couldn't avoid it, so he said, "I don't know how."

Zhou Zhoulang didn't expect that he not only had to buy rice and vegetables, but also had to cook. His eyes widened, and he sighed for a while, then got up and said, "Okay, I'll go."

Man Bao was very worried, "fourth brother, can you do it?"

"At least I did, did you?"

Man Bao shakes his head, she will start a fire, there are parents, brothers, sisters-in-law and sisters in the family, and nephews and nieces, how can she be used?

So she can't even wash rice and cook, but she can light a fire!

So Man Bao put down his pen and said, "Fourth brother, let me help you light the fire."

"Come on, let's do your research. Anyway, it's not like my sister-in-law's cooking. I can do it by myself."

I don't know why, but when I heard his words, everyone's heart skipped a beat.

Zhou Zhoulang rolled up his sleeves and went to cook, and after a while, smoke wafted from the kitchen.

Zhou Zhoulang knows how to cook and cook. All the children of the old Zhou family can cook, except Manbao.

Because the housework is handed down from the big ones to the small ones, the first housework that Zhou Lang did was to light the fire, and when he finished the fire, all the cooking would be his.

When Wu Wulang grows up a bit, he will hand over this glorious job to him, and then he will wash the dishes, sweep the yard and feed the chickens...

These jobs are not handed over until the brothers have taken turns, and the big head and the others grow up to be six or seven years old.

As for cooking, he did cook it occasionally.

For this thing, boil the water, boil the meat, then pour the vegetables into it, add some oil and salt, won’t it be done when it’s cooked?

Anyway, my sister-in-law has always done this.

Zhou Lang made two dishes, wild vegetable stew and cabbage stew.

He put two dishes in the middle of the table, took out the steamed rice, and greeted everyone, "Come and have lunch."

Bai Shanbao looked at the two dishes in the middle, feeling a bit hesitant to try them.

Man Bao is not picky about food, he served everyone a meal, picked up his chopsticks and looked at the husband, waiting for him to start.

Mr. Zhuang took a piece of food with his chopsticks, and everyone started to move quietly.

Although Zhou Zhoulang's food is not bad, it is not really delicious, so everyone's appetite is very reserved at noon today.

After finishing the meal, Bai Shanbao suggested, "Let's hire a cook."

Zhou Zhou Lang asked, "How much does it cost to hire a cook?"

Everyone looked at Mr. Zhuang together.

Mr. Zhuang said, "I don't know."

Everyone looked at Daji.

Daji thought for a while and said, "Yizhou City may be more expensive here, five hundred cash per month should be enough, right?"

Zhou Zhou Lang calculated the cost, and immediately refused, "That's not good, we hired a cook, and we bought rice, noodles, oil, salt, etc., so it's better to go out to eat."

He snapped his fingers and said: "The most expensive dish with sliced ​​meat is only around 12 renminbi, one hundred renminbi a day is enough, if you hire a cook, you have to pay for her food and drink."

"Okay, then we'll eat outside. There are quite a few restaurants nearby, and you can have them delivered to your door, or you can just buy them." Mr. Zhuang didn't want to upset his stomach either.

Zhou Zhoulang was quite sorry, and asked Man Bao behind his back, "Is the food I cook really bad? I think it's delicious."

"Everyone feels this way when they eat their own dishes, and the second sister-in-law doesn't think the dishes she cooks are so unpalatable."

Zhou Zhoulang: "...Then tell me, is it my cooking that is unpalatable, or the second sister-in-law's cooking?"

Man Bao thought for a while and said: "It's about the same, the second sister-in-law's is a little bit worse."

Zhou Zhoulang breathed a sigh of relief, "Then you can still eat it, really, you really have too much money to burn."

However, there were six people in the group, and five people agreed, so he could only agree.

After lunch, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. Zhou Zhoulang followed Man Bao to her room.

Including the main room, there are seven rooms in total. The central room is the main room. Mr. Zhuang lives in the room facing the south, and the room facing the north is used as a study. Moved four desks into the room, so that everyone can read and study together in it.

As for the remaining four rooms on the east and west sides, the three small ones each occupy one room, and Zhou Zhoulang shares a room with Daji.

Zhou Zhoulang entered Manbao's room with a cloth bag, shook it and said happily, "Guess what's in here?"

"Copper coins, I heard the ringing." Man Bao reached out to take it, opened the bag, and asked in surprise, "Did you get it from selling medicine?"

"That's right, the privets and dried ginger I brought out have been sold, but the pharmacy doesn't like to pay with silver, and all they give is copper coins." Zhou Lang said: "I think that we will buy them when we go out. For small things, you need more copper coins, so I will collect them all."

"Are they charging a high price?"

"Ligustrum is three Wen higher than the one given by shopkeeper Zheng today, and dried ginger is two Wen higher." Zhou Zhoulang said: "You don't need to think that it is two or three Wen more than a catty. Before, we had a lot of these two things, especially in the spring of last year." Another forty or so privet trees were planted, and in the autumn and winter of next year, these trees would also be able to bear privet seeds.

At the beginning of spring this year, they cut off more than 30 branches from the privet tree and planted them. It is estimated that there are about 20 trees that can work...

So there will only be more and more privet seeds in their family. A catty here in Yizhou is more expensive than three Wen in Luojiang County, so how much more can you pay for a car?

Doesn't this add up to more?

Not to mention the dried ginger, this year they persuaded the old man to take out the two fields on the other side of Xiaoling to grow ginger.

In fact, the harvest of those two fields was limited, and they had little harvest from planting beans, but seeing that the soil was relatively sandy, it was just right to use it to grow ginger.

So there is new ginger there, and the few ginger plots already at home can be used to grow old ginger. When it is dried and sold to pharmacies, the price will be higher than that of Ligustrum lucidum.

Zhou Zhoulang took out all the copper coins in the cloth bag and handed them to Man Bao, saying: "Remember the account, you keep the money, and you can settle the account with your parents when you get home."

Man Bao accepted the money, who is the best and safest in hiding money?

That must be her.
