This little lynx didn't look very energetic. When he went out in the morning, Xiao Shulin dipped some buffalo milk on a cotton cloth and fed it. When it was time for lunch, Xiao Shulin fed it again.

"Son, let's give Mao Tuan a name." After lunch, Romon sat on the sofa with the monkey in his arms and talked to him.

"Huh..." Houwazi just finished eating, feeling a little sleepy, lazily nestling in his arms.

"What's a good name?" Romon asked him.

"?" Houwazi looked up at Romon suspiciously.

"Why don't you give it a name?" said Romond.

"..." Houwazi pursed his lips and remained silent.

"Then I'll get it for him? What should I call it... Er idiot? Beef?" Old Zhou coaxed his son to talk in different ways.

"..." Houwazi frowned.

"Don't like it? Oh, what should I call it..."

"Flower."

"Huahua? All right, then call me Huahua."

Therefore, this little lynx has its own name, Huahua. From the current point of view, this name is quite suitable for its image, especially the yellow and white fur with black patterns. It is indeed a bit flowery.

It's not a problem that Huahua always eats buffalo milk. The buffalo is a vegetarian animal, and the lynx is a carnivorous animal. The nutritional structure of the milk must be different. For the ration of this little cub, this afternoon Romon and his family of three will eat Take it to find the boss.

The boss's daughter-in-law, Feimei, just gave birth to three puppies. This fat girl has a good appetite, is in good shape, and has plenty of milk. Luo Meng wants Huahua to go to them to drink some milk.

"Wow!" Boss, a cheapskate, is still not very friendly to Houwazi after such a long time.

"Good boy." Xiao Shulin patted it on the forehead, and fed it a biscuit.

"The sun is good today, let's go out and bask in the sun." As Romon said, the cat waist dragged the basket where Fat Girl and the others were sleeping out of the dog house. The son of a bitch is not as irritable as Gong Baiqi said to Luo Meng before. Luo Meng stretched out his hand to drag it and the basket where the babies were sleeping, and only looked up lightly.

"Chi... Chi..." The puppies probably felt that the light was too glaring, and tried their best to hide under their mother's belly, but the fat girl enjoyed the sunshine very much, and yawned lazily.

"Fat girl, come on, let's discuss it." Romon said and passed a biscuit to Fat Girl.

"Wang woo..." Say it.

"How about feeding Huahua to our family?" Luo Meng pulled Houwazi and asked him to squat next to the kennel with Huahua in his arms.

"Woo..." Fei Mei propped up half of her body on her front legs, and looked at the little lynx curiously.

"Feed it well, and I'll add another pot of buffalo milk to you later, how about that?" Old Zhou made an attractive offer.

"Wow!" Hey, hey.The fat girl looked indifferent.

"Hey, so cute." Romon reached out and touched its head, then picked up Huahua and put it in the basket.

The little lynx didn't even open its eyes, smelling the smell, it burrowed under the belly of the fat girl, and soon sipped the sweet milk with its nipple in its mouth. It seems that this milk is indeed more suitable for its appetite than buffalo milk .

"Wow... woof! woof..." Fat girl didn't do much, the boss stopped doing it first, and barked at Romon incessantly, obviously protesting.

"Okay, be stingy like that." Romon patted its dog's head, lifted the little lynx out of the basket, and stuffed it back into the monkey boy's arms. It will come again in the future. It's not just eating this time, let's go here first today.

After feeding the little lynx, thinking that nothing happened on the mountain today, Luo Meng and Xiao Shulin took the monkey boy to Boss Xiao's place to visit. By the way, they collected this month's pigeons and brought them back last month. That batch of pigeons was kept by Romeng and the others to raise them, and they picked up a few pigeon eggs from time to time for the children in the family to eat, which was also very good.

Next, Luo Meng plans to increase the quantity slowly. If the situation permits, he will also sell some pigeon eggs. People like Wang Dasheng and Hu Qunfeng heard that Luo Meng and the others raised pigeons to lay eggs. The Meng family has few pigeons, and they can't even eat enough for themselves, so where can they sell them.

In the countryside, as long as it is not the busy farming season, three or four in the afternoon is relatively leisurely. Although the pigeon farmers at the blacksmith shop have planted some crops for pigeon food, they do not grow much, which is more than ordinary farmers. I have a lot of leisure, but I just need to spend more time on the pigeons.

"Dangdang! Dangdang!" Before entering the yard, Romon and the others heard a series of knocking sounds that were not light or heavy.

After a while, the father and son entered the yard, only to see Auntie Ayun setting up an embroidery frame and embroidering, Boss Xiao humming a little song and choosing a handful of cowpeas, and Lin Bo yawning and sitting on a deck chair basking in the sun. An Lijun, who just moved in not long ago, was setting up a small table in the yard, and he didn't know what to knock on.

"What is this?" Romon was also curious.

"Hi, knock on a bracelet." An Lijun looked up when he heard the voice, saw that it was the landlord, and replied with a smile.

"Hey grandson, why are you here?" Boss Xiao saw Houwazi, dropped the cowpea in his hand, and came over.

"Grandpa." Xiao Shulin patted Houwazi's calf hanging down to his chest.

"Master." Houwazi called out obediently.

"Hey, hey! How cute! Come on, give me a hug from grandpa." Boss Xiao immediately hugged Houwazi and coaxed him, "What do you want to eat, peanuts? It's just at noon. Cook some, let's go, Grandpa will get it for you."

After all, the soil quality in their place is not as loose as that in the north. The locals generally do not grow peanuts to sell except for their own food, because it is too troublesome to collect them, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and not worthwhile.The blacksmiths are willing to grow peanuts, and they are all for their pigeons to eat. Pigeons like peanuts the most. Boss Xiao lives in the same yard with them, so it is natural for him to get rich with them.

After a while, Boss Xiao came out of the house holding the monkey boy again, holding a pot of boiled peanuts in his hand, and asked Luo Meng and Xiao Shulin to eat together.

"Come on, let's not play with walnuts right now, grandpa will hold them for you first." Boss Xiao smiled and took off the two small walnuts from Houwazi's hand, and stuffed them with peanuts for him.

"The pigeons for this month have been selected, and I will catch them for you when they come back in the evening." At this time, old man Qi also came out from the backyard.

"Success." Romon replied with a smile.

"A friend of mine will come over in a few days, so how about letting him live in the room next to me?" Old Man Qi asked Romon.

"Fine, anyway, there are so many empty rooms, he can live in whichever one he likes." Luo Meng smiled and asked him, "Is he coming alone or with a family?"

"I'm in the same situation as me. I have a few pairs of pigeons alone. My wife wants to help young people with their children in the city. I can't come, and I heard that I don't want to come. I'm used to the excitement in the city."

"Then, I'll leave the key to you first. If they come over one day, they will live in it first. The contract matters, two days early or two days later, it's not bad anyway."

Since it was introduced by an acquaintance, this old man Qi is still willing to be a neighbor with him. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any problems, and Romon is more at ease.There are a total of nineteen rooms in the blacksmith shop, and now there are less than ten households. A while ago, the grandson Lin Mu and his wife had a hasty banquet, and moved out alone to occupy another room. Including Mr. An Li who just arrived, the total There are only eight households.

"Lijun, don't knock, come here and eat some peanuts." Luo Meng and Xiao Shulin rarely came here, and Aunt Ayun didn't have to rush to work for a while, so she stopped what she was doing and came over, saying something He greeted An Lijun on the other side and asked her to rest too.

"Hey, no need, I'll finish this." An Lijun raised his head and smiled at them, then continued to work.

"Is she so busy?" Luo Meng asked Aunt Ayun while eating peanuts.

"Yes, Lijun opened an online store by herself, and the business is pretty good." Aunt Ayun said with a smile: "We went to see it two days ago, it was really good, and it has everything, this girl knows There are a lot of them, and I heard that they are all self-taught, which is really not easy.”

"What's the matter? It's all fur, it's far worse than your professional embroidery." An Lijun swung a small hammer and smashed the silver material into the mold, while laughing and chatting with Aunt Ayun.

"I didn't learn this from others when I was young. Hey, I was very stupid when I was young. I didn't learn well, and I was often scolded."

As Aunt Ayun said, she grinned and stuffed a peanut kernel into Houwazi's mouth. The blacksmiths used cow dung from Niuwangzhuang, and the peanuts grown were very sweet. They were boiled in salt water with the shell on, and they were powdery and sticky. Waxy, with the fragrance of peanuts, it tastes quite good.

"It's good luck to be taught by someone. I will practice hard now, and I will teach our children in the future. Do you dare to learn hard? Hit the board!" An Lijun said, the small hammer in his hand dangling It's neat.

"I'm not looking for a boyfriend, and I'm still a child. How dare I say that." Lin Bo grinned at her and said.

"That's because fate hasn't arrived yet." An Lijun smiled and didn't care.

"Look at this pair of walnuts that our good grandson plated, okay?" Boss Xiao picked up Houwazi's pair of walnuts and showed it to Aunt Ayun.

"Hey, that's really good!" After all, Aunt Ayun has been engaged in art work for so many years, and she still has a good aesthetic vision.

"How can such a young child plate walnuts?" An Lijun over there couldn't help but also looked up, and with just one look, she froze.

This pair of walnuts was plated by Houwazi for a while before, and later it was taken over by Romon for a period of time. After the plate was finished, I compared it with the previous pairs of walnuts. The color seemed to be a little lighter, so I took it back to Houwazi. Then the plate.

At this moment, Boss Xiao is holding two small walnuts in his hand. The color and texture are like jade but not jade, not as transparent as jade, and a little more simple and thick than jade. Walnut texture, don't have a taste.

"This walnut..." An Lijun hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong?" Aunt Ayun asked her.

"Well, do you sell this pair of walnuts?" An Lijun looked at Luo Meng and Xiao Shulin with some embarrassment. As far as she knew, the old Zhou's family was not short of money.

"What? Do you want to buy it?" Luo Meng asked her with a smile.

"Yeah, are you selling it?" An Lijun looked like he really wanted it.

"The walnuts in our family are not cheap." Lao Zhou said.This is true, the previous pair of walnuts are sent out, and the five certificates of their building are basically passed. The value of this is probably only known to those who have actually passed the certificate.

"How much do you want?" An Lijun didn't have much money. Although he had a little liquidity on hand, it was reserved for purchases, so he couldn't finish all of it.

"What do you want this for?" No matter how much Lao Zhou loves money, he is too embarrassed to open his mouth to such a girl.

"..." An Lijun hesitated for a moment, as if he didn't know how to speak, then he stood up from his seat and said to Romon, "Wait, I'll show you something." Then went into the house.

What An Lijun took out was a pair of bracelets, a relatively wide kind of bracelet, with a slightly wider silver ring on each side, and a pattern woven with silver silk in the middle, which is tightly woven and not hollowed out. The whole bracelet is thick and has a sense of weight , there are some jade and agate embellished on it. At first glance, it is also beautiful, but if you look closely, you will feel that something is missing.

"This, if you put it here, it will be perfect." An Lijun took a walnut from Boss Xiao's hand, put it in the middle of the bracelet, and showed it to Luo Meng and the others.

"It looks better this way." Lao Zhou picked his chin, he didn't know much about art.

"It's so much better. It's the finishing touch. It's something to watch right away." An Lijun said.

"Did you make this thing yourself?" Xiao Shulin took one of her bracelets and looked through it carefully. The bracelet was meticulously made, which not only involved silver jewelry processing such as welding and shaping, but also weaving and carving. Xiao Shulin Anyway, I also wove baskets before, and I knew it was not easy just by looking at the pattern.

"Yes, everything in her shop is made by herself, even the jade rope is woven by herself, so it's very well woven." Aunt Ayun on the side answered for An Lijun.

"It's good, but the price of this walnut should be a bit high for you." It's not that Luo Meng wants to cheat her, it's just that the market for walnuts in their house is there, and it can't be just because she is a tenant of the house. Great sale.

"Twenty thousand?" An Lijun tentatively asked a price.

"Above." Romon said.

"That's it..." When An Lijun heard this, he immediately gave up. Even if she could afford more than 2 yuan, it was not worth it. As far as the value of this pair of silver bracelets is concerned, it seems that they are no longer worthy of this pair of walnuts. up.

"Well, we just want to use seven pairs of small walnuts to make a bracelet of Buddha beads. If you can get a Buddha head for this bracelet, we will make an extra pair for you." Old Zhou's little walnut is still There were a lot of them. Liu Chunlan kept a lot of them back then, and originally planned to string a Zen mat. Later, seeing that the walnuts that Luo Meng and the others dished out were so valuable, they canceled the original plan.

"It just so happens that I still have a few pieces of jade at the bottom of the box, you wait, I'll show you first." Hearing what Luo Meng said, An Lijun went into the house again. After entering the online store, I didn’t have much cash on hand, but I saved some of various jade materials, and I basically spent all the money I had on these things.

"Hey! You girl, you have a lot of good things!" After a while, An Lijun brought out a small bag, took out the stone beads in the bag and put them on the table one by one, and Aunt Ayun and the others ate them too. Surprised.

Usually, An Lijun processes a bracelet for someone, that is, he charges tens to hundreds of yuan for manual work. He also sells jade pendants and beads, and basically the profits are not particularly high. Just like an office worker, I didn't expect to be able to save so many good things.

"I finally got it back. I have no choice. My hands are itchy. Sometimes when I see a good stone, I have to buy it for instant noodles and steamed buns." An Lijun smiled, looking at his own jade materials, just like looking at children. of.

"How much does this kind of jade cost?" Luo Meng didn't understand this at all.

"The cheapest one is a few hundred, and the expensive one is a few thousand. This one cost me more than 1 at the beginning. It is the most expensive, but it is also the most valuable one. If I want to buy it now, it will not be available for this price. How about it?" , it should match your walnut bracelets, right?" An Lijun picked up the two walnuts from Luo Meng and the others and put them on the two ends of the jade stone, and it really matched, without being obtrusive at all.

"This piece of jade seems to be really good." Luo Meng held the piece of jade in his hand, feeling warm and moist. Although he didn't quite understand it, he just thought it was good.

"Well... If this piece of jade is made into a Buddha head in exchange for your two walnuts, it seems that you are still at a loss. Otherwise, I will..."

Just now Luo Meng said that this pair of walnuts is worth more than [-] yuan, so there is no idea how much it is. Although An Lijun doesn't understand walnuts, she can also see that the walnuts are really good, and this piece of jade, although good, is really good. As far as the price is concerned, it's less than [-] yuan, and besides, this piece of jade is really useless for her at the moment. It's still a good deal for her to exchange for a pair of good walnuts that can be used immediately. It's hard to say for Romon. up.

"Why don't you teach me some more skills?" Xiao Shulin said suddenly.

"You want to learn this?" An Lijun asked in surprise.

"Can you teach me? I promise not to steal business from you." Xiao Shulin grinned.

"Hey, can I still worry about that? Let's do it. If you want to learn, you can come here anytime." An Lijun was very straightforward.

Lao Zhou looked at Xiao Shulin at their house, and at An Lijun, what's the situation?
