With 75 taels of silver in his pocket, Lu Xiyue was in a particularly good mood.

Since coming here, she hasn't lived a normal day, and now, she finally doesn't have to tighten her belt.

Before returning to the village, she went to a clothing store and bought two sets of clothes and cloth shoes for herself, Mother Lu, and Xiao Yunheng.

Lu's mother wore the same size as hers. As for Xiao Yunheng, she thought about it carefully, and was a little uncertain for a while, so she only picked two pairs that were about the same size, and agreed with the store, if it didn't fit, she would come back and change it.

Passing by the meat stand, she beat another two catties of pork back.

It's a pity that there is no refrigerator here, otherwise I would buy more and go back to freeze, so as to save running around in the future.

She wrapped the clothes and pork separately, put them in a basket, and carried them home.

Seeing that her back was bent, Lu's mother thought that the herbs she had picked had not been sold, so she stretched out her hand to pick up the baskets.

However, what fell on the hand was a heavy money bag.

She was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously weighed it.

Good weight!

Lu Xiyue raised her chin lightly, motioning for her to open it.

"So much money!" Mother Lu exclaimed, at least five or sixty taels of silver.

Are those herbs so valuable?

"Yue'er." She suddenly stuffed the money back into Lu Xiyue's hands, as if it was hot, "We can't do bad things, listen to mother, it's not our own money, we don't want it."

No amount of herbs can be sold for so much money. According to her understanding of her daughter, the source of this money may not be clean.

Lu Xiyue was stunned, and after a while to react, she explained dumbfoundingly: "Mother, don't worry, I earned this money, it's serious money."

It's no wonder that the original owner's temper was such that he could sell Xiao Yunheng to keep himself safe. Mother Lu was worried that the source of the money was really normal.

Fearing that she would not believe it, Lu Xiyue told her the whole story.

Lu's mother stared at her for a long time before she said bluntly, "So that's how it is."

"So, mother, you just collect the money." She carried the basket to the table, "I also bought us clothes, shoes, and this."

She took out the pork.

Seeing her taking things out one by one, Mother Lu's eyes were a little sore.

Thinking about the journey along the way, her daughter has really grown up and become sensible. She has learned to take care of others without saying anything, and she also knows what can and cannot be done.

"Yue'er, you should keep the money yourself." She put the money bag back into her hand, feeling extremely relieved in her heart: "I stay at home all day, and I don't need it."

She is busy in and out, and has to deal with many things, so she puts money on her body so that she can be close to her.

"Then you take some broken silver, just in case." Lu Xiyue took out some scattered silver and gave it to her.

Mother Lu didn't refuse this time.

Lu Xiyue sent the man's gown to Xiao Yunheng's room again.

After resting for two days, he recovered well, his face was much ruddy, and he was able to get out of bed and walk by himself.

There is no cabinet in the room, so she put the clothes on the stool in the corner, turned her head and took the shoes to the bedside: "I don't know what size you wear, try it, if it doesn't fit, I'll change it another day."

Xiao Yunheng's eyes fell on the two pairs of black cloth shoes, and he said with just one glance: "It seems to fit well."

Lu Xiyue's eyes froze for a while, and she picked up his original cloth boots and gestured, it was a coincidence that they were just right.

She felt relieved, put down her shoes, took out five taels of silver from her purse and gave it to him: "I made a lot of money today, you can use this silver."

The new money bag containing nearly 70 taels was heavy in the hand, and it was bulging and full.

The contrast between the small silver nuggets and the whole bag of silver is very strong.

"Thank you."

He was not hypocritical and accepted it.

"For the rest, I plan to wait for the orchard to be completed, and let's start a small business." To prevent Xiao Yunheng from thinking that he was greedy for money, Lu Xiyue felt that he had to explain.

Although it was originally earned by her.

we?

Xiao Yunheng raised his eyebrows quietly, and there was a smile in his deep eyes, and he followed her words and asked, "What business?"

"I have not decided yet."

After all, she can't always count on digging herbs and waiting for rich people to get sick and get rich.

Xiao Yunheng pursed his lips, wanting to tell her if there was anything he could help.

Thinking of his body again, a mocking smile appeared on the corners of his lips.

Lu Xiyue didn't notice his emotional abnormality, and went out to the kitchen with two catties of pork to cook.

The weather is unbearable, and it is not easy to make too greasy. She picked wild vegetables and half a catty of blanched pork and stewed them in a pot. The other catty and a half catty were chopped into stuffing, added radish paste into flour, and kneaded into balls , put it in the freshly marinated lard and fry it for a circle, and finally pour a spoonful of chili sauce from Aunt Zhou to suppress the greasy taste of the meat.

Xiao Yunheng's injury was not healed, Lu Xiyue didn't dare to give him spicy food, so she took out a bowl and put it in the vegetable soup, it tasted special.

After serving Xiao Yunheng's meal early, she served another serving to Aunt Zhou's house.

The two are not far from each other, just have to turn a few corners.

At noon, she was the only one in Aunt Zhou's house.

"Auntie, have you eaten yet? I'll bring you some meatballs." She walked quickly, and the meatballs were still smelling hot.

Seeing her coming, Aunt Zhou's sad face faded a lot, she said embarrassedly: "I haven't eaten yet, how dare you call me that, pork is expensive, you should keep it for yourself."

"I have done a lot, the weather is too hot, it should be broken."

She didn't give Aunt Zhou a chance to refuse, so she just put it on the table, "Why don't you see Uncle Zhou and Xiaoyu?"

Xiaoyu is the name of the little doll.

Aunt Zhou originally wanted her to take the meatballs away, but she sighed deeply when she heard this: "Merchant Li, who bought lychees, is here, and he went to the village chief's house to find out the news."

Lu Xiyue was puzzled, isn't it a good thing that Merchant Li is here, why is she so sad?

With that in mind, I asked the exit.

"It's not that businessman Li, because you came up with a way to keep fresh with ice, our lychees were sold at a price of [-] cents a catty. He took our first batch of fruit, and picked the second batch. He suddenly regretted it again."

Aunt Zhou rebuked Merchant Li's shameless behavior bitterly.

"What do you mean the price is too high? Unless we are willing to drop it to five cents a catty, he will accept it."

Five cents a catty, they will lose money to death.

"Businessman Li doesn't accept it, so let's sell it to someone else."

Aunt Zhou clenched her palms into fists when she heard the words: "That's a good thing to say, but who would have thought that Merchant Li would unite with all the nearby merchants and refuse to accept fruits from our village unless we are willing to lower the price."

"You also know that with the cost of making ice, five cents just equals the cost. If this is sold, our year's hard work will be in vain."

Who is not waiting for this money to eat.

Lu Xiyue understood.

The second batch of fruit had already come down, and he delayed it because he wanted to wait until the fruit growers couldn't bear the fruit rot and offered them a low price.

Really good calculation!
