Little wealth

At noon, the father and son stayed in Fu's house for lunch, and the dishes served were very rich.

Fresh steamed sea bass, stewed chicken, steamed meat patties, a plate of fried bean sprouts with bacon, and a large bowl of old duck soup. The whole duck is put into the soup. The soup is thick and white, but has no fishy smell.

"Well, this soup is delicious." After taking a sip of the soup, Josh felt that the soup tasted very good. After drinking the hot soup, it was warm in his stomach, and he felt extremely comfortable.

After Josh finished drinking, Bai Luoxi asked someone to serve Josh another bowl of soup, and said with a smile: "Drink more if it tastes good, I don't know if you are coming today, but if you want to know in advance if you are coming today, I will let you There are more dishes in the kitchen."

After each of the two children drank a bowl of soup, each took a chicken leg and ate it.

"That's enough, why do we need more dishes?" Josh took some fish and fed it to the child.The rare thing is that you can still eat fresh fish in this weather. There are no fishing boats here at the pier to go fishing. The men who used to sell fish in their village have long since stopped selling fish. He became an oil seller, so their family hasn't eaten fresh fish for a while.This fish is steamed, with a little shredded ginger and a little soy sauce poured on it, and the tender white fish is dipped in a little soy sauce and put in your mouth, what you eat is that freshness.

"Yes." Seeing that their child took a bite of the fish, he probably tasted it, and held his hand and said yes.

"Okay, okay, if you want, I'll pick it up for you." Seeing that the child likes to eat, Josh picked up some fish for the child. The cook in Fu's residence should be a cook from the south, and the stir-fried vegetables and soups are all brought with him. A little sweet, very similar to the dishes they usually cook at home, so the few dishes and soups on the table are just right for the taste of their father and son.

Seeing Xiao Nuomi looking at them, he also put some fish meat into the bowl for Xiao Nuomi, "Eat it, you will be smart if you eat more fish."

Xiao Nuomi scooped up the fish in the bowl with a spoon, and turned to look at Daddy next to her.

"You eat." I don't know if I have a companion, Bai Luoxi saw that their little brother's meal today is more delicious than before, looked up at Josh and Anian and said: "You should come to our house often when you are free. You see, when you come here, our glutinous rice tastes better, and there is no need for several people to chase him to feed him."

"Oh, there is such a good thing, why don't you send glutinous rice to our house to raise, and I promise to raise him white and fat for you." Josh said half-jokingly.

Hearing this, Xiao Nuomi looked at her father expectantly.

"..." Bai Luoxi suddenly felt overwhelmed. He felt that if he continued to talk about this issue, he might not even be able to keep his only brother under his knee, so he stopped on this issue and refused to continue the discussion.

There was a new dish on the table today. He picked up a bean sprouts with chopsticks and took a sip. The taste was crunchy and slightly sweet. He nodded involuntarily and said, "I heard from the steward that this bean sprouts are what you just said. The ones that were sent here were grown by your own family. How did you grow this dish in such a cold day?"

"This is bean sprouts, made from beans." Josh told Bai Luoxi how the bean sprouts were grown.

Bai Luoxi listened carefully, "Oh, that's how it is. How about this, you write down the recipe for me later, and I'll let people plant the bean sprouts according to what you said, and the money from the sale will be shared with you as before. Oh, by the way, the bills from other stores have only been sent to me this month, and I have already calculated the share for you, and I will give it to you after dinner."

After eating, the two children went back to the kang to sit and play with their puzzles. One occupied a seat, and the two children were each playing a set of puzzles.

"Qiu Ju, go to my study and get something." Bai Luoxi didn't bother to move, so she sent someone to the study to get a box, pushed the box to Josh, and said, "This is your share. "

Josh opened the box, took out the silver bills inside and counted them. There were more than a dozen of 100 taels of silver bills. If they were exchanged for silver, it would be more than 1000 taels, right?He felt that his math was not good enough, so he looked up at Bai Luoxi and asked, "...Is this too much? Did you give me too much?" I exchanged so many bills for him. This is not 100 yuan, but 100 taels. How much is it worth in RMB?Let him do the math...

"I didn't give much, that's all." Seeing Josh's disbelief and the appearance of wanting to return the banknote to him, Bai Luoxi laughed, and it was the first time he saw someone give money away, so she said: "Really It’s not much, you have to think about it, I can give you so much share, how much money I have earned from my own shops and restaurants. Just take it, it’s all yours.”

"Didn't you say that you want to buy the shop in the town? Just take this share, and you can buy the shop in the town. Didn't you say that you want to send your children to study in the town after a while? By the way, you can see See if there is a suitable yard in the town, or you can come to live in our house, there are quite a few vacant houses around us."

But Bai Luoxi knew that Qiao Xu was afraid of trouble, and he didn't want to live in their Fu's residence, so he said: "If you are still short of money to buy a shop or a yard, come and say hello to me. There are not many people, but money is never lacking, if you are short of money, just tell me, as much as you want."

"The silver in my hand should be enough. It's not enough to save some money next year. It's almost the same." Hearing what Bai Luoxi said, Josh had no choice but to put the silver bills back into the box, close the lid, and put the box away. After finishing it, he said to Bai Luoxi: "Then I will accept the money."

"I only gave you a few prescriptions at the beginning, and I exchanged so many bank notes. After next year, don't give me any dividends. These are enough."

"What you said, it seems that I will only make money this year with the prescription you gave, and I won't make money in the future." Hearing these words, Bai Luoxi wanted to laugh.

"Master, Master Zhao is waiting outside the door."

"Understood, ask people to wait."

Just at this time, someone came in and said that Master Zhao was coming to pick him up. Bai Luoxi took Jo Xu's hand and patted it, and said, "You can accept what I give you. The few prescriptions you gave me, I can earn far more than this little money." Next year I plan to open a branch in the whole of Daliang. I will earn more and more money in the future. Without your prescription, I would not be able to open so many stores. You don’t have to worry about it. It's all yours."

Knowing that Master Zhao usually comes to pick up people, he is here to pick up people, and never comes to sit in their house for a while, Bai Luoxi will not keep the father and son, "Your Master Zhao is here to pick you up, I won't keep you, hurry back Go ahead. Remember to tell Master Zhao, leave me a hundred sets of puzzles."

"Okay then." Josh could only put the box in his arms, and called their children to come over and put on their shoes.

Seeing that his younger brother was about to leave, Xiao Nuomi also hurriedly dropped the puzzle and stopped playing. He asked someone to put on shoes for him and got off the kang. He looked helplessly at his uncle and younger brother who were about to go home, wishing to follow them along. .

"Uncle and brother are going home. When we are free some other day, come and play with Little Nuomi." Josh put a hat on the child, and wrapped a small scarf around the child's neck, face and chin.When he turned around and saw Xiao Nuomi looking at them with reluctance, his heart softened a little.

But Xiao Nuomi is a well-behaved child. Seeing that her younger brother and uncle were going home, although she was reluctant, she didn't cry. She just hummed softly and lowered her head, looking a little disappointed and unhappy.

"Let's go, let's go see off my younger brother and uncle." Bai Luoxi was unhappy seeing the child with his head down, but there was nothing he could do about it. When others came to visit, they had to go home. They couldn't keep others at their home forever.

The two of them walked out with a child in their hands. The two children walked in the middle, holding hands and giggling all the way out, as if they had forgotten the sorrow and distress of separation.

"I asked someone to prepare something for you. It just so happens that you are here, so I will take it back." Before Josh came, Bai Luoxi had already ordered someone to prepare a New Year's gift for their family. The man prepared the annual ceremony and let him take it back.

Thinking of something, Bai Luoxi said to Josh: "Didn't you tell me to ask someone to find some seeds and peppers for you last time? I asked the caravan to look out for it, and I found some. I don't know which ones you want. , I’ll give it to you together, it’s all in the car, you can go back and look for it when the time comes.”

"That's great, I'll go back and look for it when the time comes."

When they got out to the door, they saw Master Zhao driving a donkey cart to pick them up, followed by a carriage full of things, Josh couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth, and turned his head The eyes that looked at Bai Luoxi were full of shock and disbelief. Is this what you said you were preparing for?

Bai Luoxi was amused by Josh's eyes, covered her mouth and said with a smile: "It's just a little thought, you can take it back, otherwise I have to send someone to your house."

"Okay, okay." Josh was really afraid of this person.

Ganqing, they sent some wine and meat over today, and when they went back, they took such a big cart back... Oh, no, he also carried a box in his arms, which was full of banknotes, this business is stable Is it worth it?

When they got into the car, the two children were still a little bit inseparable.

"Come over to our house to play when you have time." Josh lifted the curtain of the car and asked his son to say goodbye to Xiao Nuomi and his uncle outside. He also waved to the two of them, and then let their master Zhao leave.

When they left, a carriage followed behind the donkey cart...
