husband, he picked it up [farming]

Fang Mu walked to the meat stall that traded on weekdays. This is an old stall with a history of more than ten years.

Shushu asked: "Boss, what's the price of meat today?"

The butcher was a burly man with a beard. When he saw Fang Mu, his eyes lit up: "When did Brother Fang come back?"

"Two days ago, the house ran out of meat, so come and buy some."

"The price of meat is easy to talk about, can you still charge more?"

Fang Mu can earn money by himself, and since he is a young man, the demand is high, so there are many days to buy meat, and occasionally he buys a few catties, and the two who come and go are familiar with each other: "Then let's get three catties of fat meat first."

"Okay." Butcher Zhang picked up the meat knife, gestured, struck quickly, and said with another palm, "It's almost the same, today's bones are also fresh, do you want to bring some?"

Butcher Zhang has been slaughtering pigs and selling meat for more than ten years, and he has already developed his skills. He said that it is not bad, so it is really not bad.

Fang Mu looked at the clean shaved bones without any flesh on the table, and nodded: "Weigh two."

Butcher Zhang took two upper scales, which weighed six taels a catty: "It's a catty and a half for you."

"Thank you."

Butcher Zhang did the math: "Pork is thirteen cents a catty today, and I'll count you twelve. Three catties is 36, and the stick bone is five cents. The total is 43 cents and five cents. I'll wipe the odds off for you too. Integers will do."

Fang Mu originally planned to give 44% more, but 43 didn't like it, so he still gave [-]: "I'll make it up for you next time."

Butcher Zhang likes that he is sensible. Fang Mu is a young man who is not greedy for money. He always takes advantage of petty gains and never makes people disgusted: "Success, do you want to cut off the bones?"

Fang Mu's family only has a kitchen knife, which can't chop bones: "It's enough to crack it, I have to go shopping, so that the oil won't run away in a while."

Butcher Zhang tapped the stick bone with the back of the machete, and the two hit each other with a loud sound.

There was a crack in the middle of the stick bone. Butcher Zhang bent down and took out a lotus leaf from under the table, wrapped the stick bone and said, "Here."

Fang Mu took it and put it in the basket with the pork.

"Then I'll go first."

Butcher Zhang smiled and said, "I won't keep you if you have something to do, otherwise I have to stay for a chat."

Hearing this, Fang Mu also smiled and said, "Next time, I'll talk to you when I have time." Butcher Zhang liked to hear what happened to them on the road, and said he used it to relieve boredom.

Everyone likes to listen to stories, but what Butcher Zhang likes to hear is not just made-up ones.

After leaving Butcher Zhang, Fang Mu went to the food store. The food store was on the same street as the market, and it was only a few steps away.

Fang Mu is going to buy some flour.

The weather is hot, always eating is not the same thing as porridge.

There were a few scattered customers in the grain bank, some were whispering to the waiter, and some were haggling with the shopkeeper at the counter.

As soon as Fang Mu entered the grain store, he told the staff who didn't entertain the guests to weigh five catties of flour. The price of this flour was not cheap, and it cost eight cents per catty.

Handing the cloth bag prepared early in the morning to the buddy, he thought for a while and added, "Weigh another catty of brown sugar."

"Wait a moment." The man went to load the flour first.

As for the brown sugar that Fang Mu asked for, it was a kind of brown sugar powder, and the price was twelve cents a catty.

In the past ten years, due to the expansion of sugarcane planting and the increase in production, the price has also begun to fall, and it is no longer a matter of wanting to afford it.

Although there are still many people who are discouraged by twelve essays.

The man finished packing the flour and went to pack the brown sugar, and asked Fang Mu for a jar.

Fang Mu bought brown sugar on a temporary basis, so he didn't prepare in advance.

Seeing this, the man said, "Then I'll wrap it in lotus leaves for you?"

Fang Mu nodded: "OK, just don't break it."

The guy still believed in his craft.

Weighed the brown sugar and tied it carefully so that it would not leak out.

Fang Mu carried his things to pay the bill.

The shopkeeper had just finished arguing with the previous customer, and he was still a little tired. He thought that this time it was a round number, and it would not be so ridiculous that he would wipe away two pennies, which would be fatal.

Unexpectedly, Fang Mu counted 52 Wen without saying a word, and simply gave the money and left.

The shopkeeper held a handful of copper plates and burst into tears. If only every customer would be so straightforward.

Fang Mu, who came out of the food store, was walking on the street with a dozen catties on his back.

The streets are bustling, with stalls selling rouge and gouache, cloth, jugglers, sugar people and candied haws everywhere.

Fang Mu thought about what he wanted to buy. If he went back to the village to buy eggs, it would be cheaper than in the town.

As for the oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, I still have them at home, so I really want to leave some money for Chao Yan when I buy them, so that he can prepare them himself.

Then there was nothing to buy, so Fang Mu went to buy two bunches of candied haws, remembering that he had promised to bring delicious food to Chao Yan.

Candied haws are two pennies a bunch, four in a bunch.

Calculated in this way, it cost nearly one hundred Wen in one morning.

Money is really not spent.

Fang Mu didn't earn much money from this business trip. It happened to be a rainstorm, and the brothers didn't dare to prepare so many goods. After the cost was sold out, each of them got less than [-] cash. Although they didn't earn much, But this little money can only be earned by a farmer's family working for a month, and this has to be done if there is a job.

Fang Mu and his brothers are doing a small business. When it’s good, it’s more than one or two dollars, and when it’s bad, it’s five or six hundred cash. It’s hard money, but compared to carrying sacks at the pier, it’s easier for him of.

Fang Mu shook the few copper coins in his purse. He didn't expect that there would be many people in the family, so as usual, he deposited the bulk in the county bank, and only brought back a scattered 100 coins.

If he was alone, there would be more than half a month left of these 170 essays.

Now that there are too many Chaoyan... let’s talk about not enough, Fang Mu frowned, thinking that it would be a big deal to ask his brother to borrow some, and pay him back when he comes back next time.

After making up his mind, Fang Mu went back with his things on his back.

He wandered around for a while, and it took less than an hour before and after, and when he got home, it would be Sishichu at the latest.

Fang Mu went back the same way, and the sun was already strong at this time. Fortunately, although the mountain road was difficult to climb, there were many trees for shade. Even so, Fang Mu was sweating all over. Halfway through, he stopped to drink some water to catch his breath. , and then walked home in one go.

When Fang Mu walked to the top of the slope, he could see the foot of the mountain from above. This position is high, and the houses at the foot of the mountain and the villages in the distance can be seen at a glance.

Including Asagao who was bending over to work in the field.

But Asagao could only see a taupe outline.

Fang Mu wiped the sweat from his brow, and hurried down the mountain.

In the two hours since he went out, the process of shoveling grass has advanced a lot, and he is almost at the mountain pass. It is estimated that the two of them will be able to solve it all in another hour.

Chaoyan heard footsteps, straightened up and raised her head: "I'm back."

Fang Mu, who was about to call him, hummed when he saw that he spoke first, saw that he was sweating all over, and said, "Go inside and have a rest."

Chaoyan shook her head: "Shovel for a while."

Fang Mu directly came over and took his hand.

Chao Yan looked at her held wrist, and felt that the man's scalding heat seemed to burn her through, and the scorching heat extended from her wrist to her face.

For a moment, Chaoyan couldn't tell what caused the heat.

The door of the house was left open, Fang Mu directly pulled the man into the house.

"Look at the sweat on your body, I didn't mean to go back to the house to rest when it's too hot." Fang Mu said as he untied the basket.

Chao Yan's face was still hot, he guessed that his face must be very red: "It's over."

Fang Mu, who was taking off his straw hat again, glanced at him, just in time to see his blushing cheeks: "Drink more water, your face is blushing."

"..." This incomprehensible man.

It seems that the other party really doesn't like brother.

Chaoyan is a little worried, although Fang Mu said that he will try to like him, but he also knows that love cannot be forced, if Fang Mu has no intentions for him, they will only end up breaking up.

You can't still occupy the other half of the other party's quota.

Chaoyan drank half a pot of water to quench her thirst. Fang Mu had already put the pork and stick bones in the basket on the stove, and then turned around to collect the flour and brown sugar before taking out the candied haws.

The candied haws are also wrapped in lotus leaves, but because the weather is too hot, it has melted a bit, but it doesn't affect the whole.

Fang Mu pushed the candied haws and lotus leaves to Chao Yan: "Here."

The candied haws are still bright red after the syrup has melted, and they are very sweet at first glance.

Chaoyan was flattered: "Why did you buy this?"

Fang Mu asked him back: "Don't like it?"

Chaoyan shook his head: "I like it." He picked up a bunch, opened his thin lips, which had recovered from the tenderness after a few days, and opened his white teeth, biting one lightly, rolling his tongue, first the sweetness permeated, and then he took a bite , the sour smell exploded, and he squinted his eyes happily.

Fang Mu couldn't help being a little funny watching him enjoying himself the whole time, thinking that it was really so delicious?

He grabbed Chaoyan's hand, lowered his head, and took a bite of one in the same posture that Chaoyan held up the candied haws. Chewing it, he didn't feel any difference in taste.

"You..." This really made Zhao Yan unable to deal with it.

Did this man forget that he is a brother, and the two of them are still...unmarried and cohabiting?

Fang Mu looked at his surprised look, and raised his eyebrows: "What?"

Chaoyan pointed to the string on the table: "Isn't there still..."

Fang Mu said: "It's all for you."

Looking at Fang Mu as if I was just trying to taste it, Chaoyan finally couldn't help it and asked, "Brother Mu, what kind of girl do you like?" He still chose to tell the whole story. When thinking over and over again, it is better to ask the other party directly than to fumble around by yourself.

Fang Mu was a little curious: "Why do you ask this?"

Chaoyan said honestly, "I'll see if I can learn from it."

After listening, Fang Mu couldn't help laughing: "You are a brother, what do you do like a girl?"

"I want you to like me." Chaoyan didn't mean to be ashamed, knowing the answer was more important to him than this.

Fang Mu smiled even more happily: "I like you very much now."

Faced with this answer, Chaoyan just bit into the candied haws and put it in her mouth, without saying a word.

The liking he said is not the same as Fang Mu's liking.

Chaoyan is illiterate, but it's not like she doesn't know anything.

The liking of men and women and the liking of looking at objects are two different things.

Fang Mu treats him now, at most he thinks he is not bad, and he is not disgusted.

Chaoyan is born with supernatural powers, and because there is only one child in the family, she was taught by her parents as a man since she was a child, so she is more daring than ordinary brothers.

Only then did he dare to exchange these words for others to be ashamed and annoyed to death.
