"What do you want?" Li Shi took a step back defensively.

The whole day today, except for an accident in the middle, Luo Hua is really domineering, directing him to work couldn't be easier.With such a sudden expression on his face, there must be something wrong.

Sure enough, as he expected——

"Well, I was in a hurry to go out in the morning, and I forgot to wash the sheets and quilt covers..." Luo Hua brushed the hair on the side of his cheeks behind his ears, a little embarrassed, "Let me continue to sleep with you tonight?" He looked at Li Shi pitifully.

Thinking of what happened last night, Li Shi flatly refused.

Not to mention how Luo Hua stalked him.

Anyway, the final result is that the two of them are still sleeping on the same bed.

In the middle of the night, Li Shi who pushed Luo Hua away again was very annoyed.

How did you compromise?Where did his former cruelty go?Does this Luo Hua have no eyes or a brain?Why are you not afraid of him at all...

Luo Hua naturally didn't know the annoyance in his heart.

After a good night's sleep, Luo Hua woke up refreshed, unpacked, washed and dried the things in the west compartment, and then began to fiddle with his basket of plums.

Li Shi made the baking stove yesterday and let it hang out overnight, and it is ready for use.

This oven uses bamboo as the frame and is sealed with yellow mud. Several bamboos are placed inside, and a layer of bamboo slices are placed on each two parallel bamboos with gaps in between.A total of three layers of bamboo slices are placed in the oven to form an oven with three layers of baking racks.The entire oven rack is built on the simple stove soil built by Li Shishi with stones.

Luo Hua filled the drying rack with plums, covered it with a thick cloth, lit firewood directly under the stove, and started roasting with a high fire.

After an hour, he uncovered the thick cloth again, took the chopsticks and turned down the upper and lower layers of plums inside, and continued to bake.

After two rounds of baking in this way, the plums in the oven will be [-]% to [-]% dry.

The color is black and shiny, and the surface is slightly sticky.Luo Hua twisted one and tasted it, it was sweet and sour.

It became.

Bringing these dried plums—oh no, they should be called ebony plums—in a small clay pot, Luo Hua was in a very happy mood.

"That's it?" So simple?Can nothing taste good?

"Yeah. Let's make such a small jar first, and see how much it can sell when we go to the county tomorrow." Luo Hua is full of confidence, and he is not worried about not being able to sell it at all.

Li Shi declined to comment.How could anyone like such a dark and sticky thing?

"If it sells well," Luo Hua squinted at him, "you can go up the mountain and pick all those plums when you come back." After a pause, "It would be even better if you can find more."

Li Shi: ...the co-author still counts him as a coolie.

Luo Huacai didn't care what he was thinking, he put away the clay pot and went to make dinner.

Then that night, Luo Hua made trouble again.

Li Shi, who thought he could finally sleep well, was speechless: "What do you want to do?"

Luo Hua hugged the quilt and pillow that he had just put away, and smiled flatteringly: "Brother Li, the East Wing is quite spacious anyway, why don't we sleep in the East Wing together?"

"No!" Li Shi resolutely objected.

Luo Hua knew that he had misunderstood, and quickly explained: "I mean, my bed is moved to the East Wing, and we each sleep in our own."

Li Shi paused.

Seeing that he seemed to be loose, Luo Hua walked around him with his things and ran to the east chamber: "The bed board will trouble you! I'll put the things in first."

Li Shi: ...

This is not looking for someone to help cook, this is clearly finding an ancestor for himself.

Anyway, sleep separately.

Li Shi tossed and turned until midnight, and finally fell asleep for a while.

He hadn't had a good rest since the night before the bond was formed, and then he was disturbed by Luo Hua for two consecutive nights and couldn't sleep. Even though Li Shi had a high skill, he was also extremely tired.

If you don't sleep well, you will naturally not look good.Li Shi got up and practiced boxing for a long time according to the usual time, but Li Shi still had a dark face, and even scared the grandson of the Li family who came to remind them early in the morning and cried.

The old village head Li asked his grandson to come here to remind them that they had to go to the county seat to register for relocation today.

Luo Hua looked at the little kid who was almost as high as his chest and ran away crying, and looked back at Li Shi speechlessly: "What did you do? You made everyone cry."

This is how normal people react when they see him, okay?When everyone is like him.Li Shi glanced at him in disgust, and entered the room without saying a word.Luo Hua was left with a puzzled expression.

Of course, such trivial matters are not worth mentioning.

The two of them packed up their things, took the account slips they had prepared earlier, put the small clay pot of ebony plums into the basket, locked the door and set off.

Today they are going to the county town on foot.Anyway, they didn't have anything else to take except the small jar of ebony plums.

Even though he was traveling lightly, and Li Shi even carried his things on his back, Luo Hua still...

Li Shi stopped again and turned around, his cold and fierce face was full of helplessness.

"Hurry up."

"Brother!" Luo Hua gritted his teeth and trotted a few steps towards him, then leaned down and gasped for breath while holding his knees, "We, we are not in a hurry, right? Why are you walking so fast?"

"...You are too slow. Didn't you think you were so slow yesterday?"

"Brother, yesterday was a mountain road, where can we go quickly?" Luo Hua, who had finally recovered his breath, quit immediately, straightened up and pointed at him, and threw a lot of words in the past, "Besides, yesterday After walking on the mountain road for a day, not to mention how sore my feet are, just the blisters on the soles of my feet are enough for me. I can walk now, and I am very grateful to you without letting you carry it. You give it to everyone. Do you look like you? You keep urging, are you showing off your thick skin or your long legs? You walk like flying, how can I chase after you?"

He just complained.Li Shi swallowed the words silently.To save this quick-mouthed guy from being reluctant.

"Hmph!" Seeing that he stopped talking, Luo Hua naturally stopped chasing him, turned his head and continued walking.It will take an hour to go, so he should save his energy and hurry.

Li Shi behind silently slowed down.

But even so, Li Shi still did not escape the fate of being supported in the end—otherwise, if this guy was allowed to walk three steps and take one step, they would have to go until dawn.

To get to the county government office, you have to pass through the busiest Dongshi City.

As soon as he entered the bustling market, Luo Hua, who was on the verge of death, suddenly recovered.The last time I came back to shop, I was in a hurry to buy things, and I met disgusting people, so he didn't shop around.I'll have to take a good look after I finish my work today.

He excitedly supported Li Shi and looked around.

Li Shi managed to drag him out of the crowd.

The two turned a few streets and came to the deserted street where the county government was located.

According to the porter's instructions, they turned to a corner door specially opened beside the main entrance of the county government office.

The first room on the left after entering is the household registration office that manages the household registration of the large Changfu County population.

Entering the door is a large desk, behind which sits a serious middle-aged official, and the room is full of bookshelves.

The two handed in the account posts they brought.

"Luohu in Hexi Village? Did you come to set up a household just a few days ago?" The little official asked without raising his head as he opened the account post.

Luo Hua quickly explained: "My lord, my family and my uncle's family just separated a few days ago."

"Three males, two males, 43 years old, 20-year-old eldest son, second son..." the little official read, looked up at him, "Are you the second son?"

Luo Hua nodded: "Yes."

The clerk nodded, flipped through casually, confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the other information on the account post, turned to Li Shi's account post, and asked Li Shi: "Your account post was only made last month. of?"

"Yes."

"But what's the problem?" Luo Hua asked nervously.Don't tell me there is a problem with the account post?If there is no account post these days, they will be forced to be recruited.

The little official waved his hand: "No, just ask as usual." He lowered his head and turned down.

Luo Hua breathed a sigh of relief.Li Shi kept his face calm.

"A family of Li Shi, one adult male, 25 years old at the time, one house with earthen walls, two acres of dry land at the foot of Hexi Mountain." The little official read it out and looked up at Li Shi as if confirming it.

Li Shi nodded.

"According to the usual practice, as the second son, you have to move to the Li family. Do you have any doubts?" The little official closed the household registration and turned to Luo Hua and asked.

Luo Hua knew this a long time ago, so he nodded naturally: "No, please trouble the official."

The little official nodded, and directly added a note to the Luo family's account post, and then wrote a big useless character on Li Shi's account post.Then I found a blank account post with a half-print of the household department on the serial number and a plum blossom column on the side, and wrote a new copy for them.

After finishing these, he took out the seal from the box next to it, and stamped the household registration seal of Changfu County on the new household post.

He blew on the account post and handed it to them after confirming that the handwriting on it was completely dry: "Okay, congratulations both of you." Since the entry, there was only a hint of a smile on his face.

Luo Hua thanked him for taking the new account post, and admired the serious official's beautiful regular script, then wrapped the new account post with a cloth towel and handed it to Li Shi.

When Li Shi stuffed the small cloth bag into his bosom, Luo Hua turned around, thought for a while, and asked cautiously: "My lord, um, there are three urgencies in people. Excuse me, where is the hut in the yamen?"

The little official glanced at him, raised his hand and pointed out: "Turn into the west wing, it's in another courtyard." After a pause, he reminded, "Don't walk around, it will be bad if you bump into some nobleman. "

"Yeah." Luo Hua nodded repeatedly, thanked him, and turned to Li Shi, "Are you going?"

Li Shi shook his head.

"Then wait a while. I'll come back as soon as I go, it's suffocating me." After finishing speaking, he trotted out quickly.

Li Shi had no choice but to look at the little official who continued to read with his head down. He simply walked out with a basket on his back, and stood outside the corner gate of the county government office, waiting for some troublesome guy.

Let's talk about Luo Hua's side.

Turning to the small yard next to him, after finding the hut and solving it, Luo Hua breathed a sigh of relief.

After scooping up some water from the water tank beside the hut and washing his hands, he shook his wet hands and walked back.As soon as he walked out of this small courtyard, he bumped into a group of people who came out from another doorway.

The leader is not Zou Rongxiang.

Luo Hua almost stopped, and wanted to retreat to the courtyard of the hut.

Unfortunately, it was too late, Zou Rongxiang who was opposite had already seen him.

He looked surprised, and took two quick steps to stand in front of Luo Hua: "Why are you here?" He looked him up and down, seeing that he was dressed in old clothes and covered in dust, he couldn't help feeling proud and regretful, "Why are you in such a mess?" ? If you followed me, why did you suffer so much?"

"Master Zou." Luo Hua was extremely impatient, and casually bowed his hands, "It's too small to look at, so I won't stay here to spoil your eyes. Now leave."

Zou Rongxiang choked, and quickly stopped him: "I didn't mean that." Then he said sadly, "Look at your appearance, you were born to be in a wealthy family, drinking tea and listening to operas every day, how can you come out in the sun and rain? of? Isn’t this reckless?”

Being praised for his appearance, even if Luo Hua, who valued his face, was stopped, he was not in a bad mood: "Thank you, Mr. Zou, for your praise. I don't need to worry about what kind of life you should live. Can you let me The little one is leaving? My husband is still waiting outside."

Husband?Zou Rongxiang came to his senses immediately, and asked with a dark face, "Are you here today to register the contract and move the household?"

"Of course. I said last time that the second day of May is the day when we hold a banquet." Luo Hua spoke bluntly and pointedly reminded, "I have a husband now."

Zou Rongxiang was choked up, and became even more angry from embarrassment.Slightly cloudy eyes scanned his whole body carefully, focusing on the rear hips: "What? This reminds me that you have tasted the taste of a man?" He was full of malice, "Is the mountain village man dissatisfied with you? Master who has experienced many battles, shall I show you a taste of it?"

The eyes are lewd, and the words are even more disgusting.

Luo Hua's face turned cold immediately: "Master Zou respects himself." This kind of people, if they say a few more words, they will dirty themselves.He simply cupped his hands, "It's not speculative, just say a few words. Farewell, little one." Before he could respond, he turned around and walked outside.

Seeing that he was going to leave like this, Zou Rongxiang was extremely unwilling.Thinking that this place is his own territory, and besides the two of them, there are only two servants behind him, so he couldn't help but feel courageous, raised his hand to stop Luo Hua who was about to pass by, and grabbed Xiao Xiang After a long time, he raised his buttocks and rubbed them twice.

"I'm--ah!"

Luo Hua's hair stood on end, and he punched with his backhand.
