Aotian the domesticated miniature dragon

The restaurant recruited people, and Zhou and Zeng Hongmei took care of making the sauce.This made Lu Qianshan a little idle, so he simply went to the field to help Lu Guangming and the others.

The little ox has plowed a large area of ​​land, and the black soil that has been frozen for several months has been deeply opened, and it is even a little soft when stepped on, and it can sink its feet directly.

The family has started raising seedlings, and the seedlings have grown to more than three inches long, and they can be planted in half a month.Because there is more land this year, Lu Guangming plans to grow two mu of rice, and then harvest one mu of glutinous rice and one mu of corn.Corn is more nutritious, and he felt that his wife and children were in a disadvantaged condition. He didn't sell this acre of corn, so he kept it for himself.

Also because Lu Qianshan was making sauce, the original two acres of soybeans increased to five acres.He felt that as long as it was a good year, even if he paid taxes on so much land, he would still have a lot left.He can't help with anything else, he only has a handful of strength, and he just wants to plant the land so that the family can eat white rice and white flour pancakes.

Lu Qianshan was going to the fields, and Shen Ye's military masters followed him. When they arrived, they would help with the farm work without saying a word, but Lu Guangming was terrified.

"I'll do the rough work, the military master don't do it."

Shen Ye laughed and said: "What do these jobs count? It's much easier than our previous practice. And there is no need to practice during this period. My brothers and I came here to relax our muscles and bones."

Lu Guangming couldn't stop him, so he had to let them go.But he couldn't stop the military master, but he could stop his son, "No, you've only been in this body for a few days, what if you're tired?"

Lu Qianshan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, his body had been recuperated a long time ago, and now he was building a foundation, he could manage these tens of acres of land by himself.But that was too scary, he just wanted to help, but Lu Guangming refused to let him sit on the tree stump beside the field ridge to bask in the sun.

Lu Qianshan got the same treatment as the little calf, sitting on the tree stump to watch the busy farming scene for a while, and the lively little calf around him for a while, and reached out to touch two handfuls of the little calf's head.

Other people's houses were facing the loess and their backs were facing the sky. When they looked up, they saw that Lu Guangming and the others not only had cattle, but also had a military master helping them with the work, so they were very envious.If it was usual, they would have to joke a few words.But the military master Liwei beat Wu Zheng with blood all over his face yesterday, which scared them all, so how dare they come forward?

The calf hopped around for a while, then lay down beside him, with its little head resting on his lap, looking attached.

Shen Ye lived here for a few days, helped to plow a few acres of land, and cut a lot of firewood to build in the backyard of Lu's house. He also helped build a strong cowshed and tidy up the courtyard wall.By the time they left with what Lu Qianshan had given Zhong Yulin, there was already a firewood pile as high as a mountain and a spacious and strong cowshed in the backyard of the Lu family.

Because of the busy farming season, all the strong laborers of each household were dispatched. Even the children and the elderly tried their best to help in the fields, and there were not many people making troubles.

Even if Mrs. Lu Zhang wanted to be an old matriarch, she still had to work in the fields at this time.In fact, she didn't dare to do any tiring work.In the field, Lu Datian was busy with his second and third children and their wives, and Mrs. Wang didn't dare to be lazy, so she had to go to work even if she was stretched all over her body.Only Lu Zhang and Lu Xiuxiu are left in this family.

Mrs. Lu Zhang cooks every day, and first asks Lu Xiuxiu to call Lu Datian back to eat the small stove, and then asks Lu Xiuxiu to send rough meals such as Qingshui pancakes to the field.At this time, she did not dare to deduct Zhao's and Sun's rations. After all, the work in the field was heavy work, and if she was not full, she would not be able to do it well.

Lu Xiuxiu got annoyed after delivering meals a few times, and came back with a sullen face and didn't want to go anymore.

"Why does their family have cattle? Didn't they use our family's money?" Lu Xiuxiu beat and beat on the kang delicately, "That Lu Qianshan doesn't do anything, just sits in the field and basks in the sun every day. And the military master gave Why do they work? My eldest nephew is a scholar, have you seen any military master come to help our family with work!"

In fact, it wasn't just this that made her angry, but what made her even more angry was that Lu Qianshan was getting more and more beautiful. From a distance, that little face seemed as white as jade, and it could shine through.She is also white, but compared with Lu Qianshan, she has become a rough and dark girl, how can she not be angry?

She didn't go to deliver food, so Mrs. Lu Zhang could only go by herself.

Ever since Lu Zhang saw Shen Ye slapping someone that day, she had been frightened, and even had a nightmare for two days. In the dream, Lu Qianshan asked the military master to slap her, and her face was covered in slaps.

When going to the field to deliver food, they passed by Lu Guangming's house. Lu Zhang saw Lu Qianshan leaning on the calf from a distance, and couldn't help but shudder.

She lowered her head and walked fiercely, but when she passed by Lu Qianshan, she heard a cold snort.This sound made her stagger, the basket in her hand was overturned, the water in the jug was overturned, and the pancakes rolled to the ground and were stained with mud.

Trembling, she picked up the pancakes into the basket, and looked up at Lu Qianshan furtively, just in time to see him facing her with a terrifying smile on his face.

In fact, Lu Qianshan just glanced at her, but Lu Zhangshi felt that this face was full of scheming, and his eyes were full of calculations.This made her feel uncomfortable all over, and she ran away without raising her head while carrying the basket.

Lu Datian looked at the muddy pancakes and pickle lumps in the basket, and angrily scolded Lu Zhangshi.They eat mostly together.There is nothing special about eating during the busy farming season, as long as you have enough to eat.The cake was taken out of the basket, and everyone saw the mud on it.

When Zhao and Sun saw the muddy pancakes, their expressions were ugly.Lu Guangfu and Lu Guangcai rummaged through the basket without saying a word, but did not find one or two clean pancakes.

I don't know who laughed from around, Lu Zhangshi retorted: "I accidentally dropped the basket, it was just stained with mud, and it's not that I can't eat it!"

There was a boy in the [-]th and [-]th years next to her, who imitated her words in a strange way: "Yes, it's not that you can't eat, and you can eat more mud to fight hunger. The third grandma of the Lu family is really amazing, you can come up with such a method."

Lu Zhang's face was flushed with anger. She originally wanted to say that Lu Qianshan pushed her there, but when she saw the military master who was working in the distance, she swallowed those words firmly.

Lu Datian is the best at saving face, but now that his old daughter-in-law has lost face, he is really angry, "Why don't you make some pancakes and bring them here, and this pancake will be ready if you poke it here? Since you can eat it, you can eat it at night Eat this pancake!"

Lu Zhangshi was ashamed and annoyed, wishing to scratch Lu Datian out of flowers.

Mrs. Zhao wanted to say something, but Mrs. Sun grabbed her clothes and said nothing.But Wang said: "I'm afraid I won't eat this, it's okay, take it to the side to dry in the sun, dry and peel off the soil, it's still edible."

Lu Datian glanced at her and said, "How about you eat?"

Wang grinned and chuckled, threw the mud pancake back into the basket and stopped talking.

Several children of Zhao and Sun were there, and even four or five-year-old Lu Qianshu could help pick up weeds and stones in the field.

Lu Jinlin glanced at the pancakes in the basket, her eyes turned red, and she said, "Grandma, don't be angry, let's just eat. It's good to be full now, and I'm not afraid of muddy ones." She picked it up A mud pancake was stuffed into his mouth, and he bit it with big mouthfuls.

Lu Qianfeng and Lu Qianling looked at it, and silently picked up a pancake and began to eat it.

"Look, can't this be eaten? Why can't you eat it?" Mrs. Lu Zhang didn't know whether she was blocked by Lu Datian's scolding, or was frightened by Lu Qianshan, and what she said was nothing but brains.

With an angry face, Lu Datian raised his hand and patted the pancakes in the hands of several children, angrily said: "Since you can eat it, let me see if you eat one!"

Lu Zhang looked at Lu Datian in disbelief, "You let me eat mud pancakes?"

"Didn't you say you can eat it? Then you can eat one." Lu Datian wanted to slap Lu Zhang home now, he felt that the eyes of the people around him had changed, and they became mocking and contemptuous .

Seeing that no one stepped down the steps for her, Lu Zhang walked away crying and angrily.

Lu Jinlin looked at Lu Zhangshi's back with cold eyes, turned her back and spat out the pancakes in her mouth, then exchanged a glance with Lu Qianfeng and the others, and there was a hint of smile in each other's eyes.

Everyone in the village knew that Mrs. Lu Zhang was not very kind to the second and third children, but they didn't expect it to be such a bad way.No matter what happens to other people's homes, they will make the people who grow the land full and eat well. Even if the conditions are not good, the pickles should be stewed with soybeans and the like, and put some lard foam, so that they can eat better .But Mrs. Lu Zhang first asked Lu Datian to go back to eat every day, and then the meals he brought to his son and daughter-in-law were all clear water pancakes and pickled vegetables, which was interesting.

When Lu Zhangshi went back, her hands were shaking. She passed by Lu Qianshan again, and saw the chilling smile on the little brother's face. Her scalp was numb, and she ran away without looking back.This time it was Lu Xiuxiu who delivered the food, because Mrs. Lu Zhang fell ill after posting a pot of pancakes.

Lu Qianshan put fermented soybeans in the chili sauce that Zhong Yulin and the others brought, so that the fried chili sauce was even more fragrant. When you opened the lid, you could smell the tangy aroma, and when you dug it out, it was red and oily, making people salivate.

This kind of chili sauce is one penny more expensive than ordinary ones, but there are still many hawkers who come to buy it for only one penny. Many people who are not short of money like to eat this mouthful.

After all the soldiers left, Lu Qianshan worked hard to rebuild the restaurant.The original shed was not moved, and a new house was built on the open space next to it. It was spacious and bright, and a lot of blue bricks were used, which made many people envious.After all, many people now live in adobe houses, and they simply cannot afford to live in brick houses.But looking at Lu Guangming's house, not only his own house is made of bricks and tiles, but even a restaurant is built of bricks and tiles, and a small second floor is also built.

A restaurant on the edge of a village has turned into a small restaurant, can it not make people greedy?

But it looks like a restaurant here, but it doesn't focus on buying food.The four walls of the first floor are covered with shelves, and there are jars of various seasonings on the shelves, and the smell is very fragrant as soon as you enter the door.

Crock-pot mutton will be sold for another two months, and the market will be lost due to the hot weather. Lu Qianshan plans to replace it with simple stewed meat and barbecue, and then dig a well from the backyard of the restaurant to buy some vegetables and fruits that can be eaten raw. Quench the thirst of merchants coming and going.But the haggis soup will not be withdrawn. It is cheap and full, and it will be popular even in hot weather.

Lu Datian looked a little ugly when he saw the restaurant built by Lu Guangming's family.He originally planned to build two adobe houses to separate the second and third children, but because of the mud pancake incident, Lu Zhang's reputation has become a little bit bad. It is estimated that someone will poke the spine.

Chun Wei is coming, and there are three people in the family going to the examination room, which is not a small expense.Lu Zhang's face was dark when he took the money out of the cash box.Ever since they moved back from Lu Guangming's house, their family's vitality has been severely damaged.In the past few days, Lu Datian’s sons and Lu Zhang’s have developed the habit of being extravagant. Now the money has been reduced by half, and there is no income but expenses. If you want to earn money, you have to wait for the second and third to go out to work. Or sell the grain after the autumn harvest.

Mrs. Lu Zhang took 50 taels of silver, filled in a few pieces of silver and handed it to Lu Datian.Only Lu Datian could do the sending of money, because Mrs. Lu Zhang could not trust her sons.

Without the 50 taels, there are less than 40 taels of silver left in the cash box.Grinding her teeth, Lu Zhang covered the money box and stuffed it into the kang cabinet.In fact, this 40 taels is a lot of money for ordinary people, at least it can ensure that the family members are warmly clothed and fed.But for Lu Zhang, the 40 taels will not take a few months at all.Her old daughter, Lu Xiuxiu, will be fifteen after the new year, and it's time to look after her. She wants to marry Lu Xiuxiu into the county town, but she only has so little money, and she can't even make up the dowry.

Now she only hopes that her son and grandson can be admitted to the official position. No matter who becomes an official, it means that they will have a lot of money. Good people can choose whatever they want, and she can sleep soundly.

Lu Qianshan's two younger brothers are both worry-free, and now they still remember to dig pigweed and wild vegetables on the way back from school every day, and they also murmur the knowledge taught by the teacher.Every time I learn a new character, I don't write it on the paper first, but write it on the paper after I understand it from the ground.Even if I write, I use light ink at the beginning, and thick ink when it dries up. I can write twice on a piece of paper.

Lu Qianshan repeatedly said that if the family has money, it is not necessary to save so much. The two younger ones disagreed, and they also plausibly said that even if they are rich, they will do great things in the future, and they should not throw money away because of their selfishness.Now school books, paper and pens are already a lot of money, these two children are really reluctant to part with it.

The business of the restaurant is quite good now, many merchants know that there is such a restaurant here, even if they take a detour, they still want to come here to buy goods.Seeing that the Zhou family was too busy, Lu Qianshan wondered whether to build a workshop.

The yards here are large, and there is a lot of space on the left and right. This workshop can be built behind the yard.You don’t need to do anything else if you invite people, just fry the ingredients.This kind of simple work without much technical content, as long as the hands and feet are quick, no matter the little man or the big girl can do it.

But building the restaurant cost a lot of money from the family, Lu Qianshan thought about it, took one of the bank notes Zhong Yulin gave him, and gave it to Zhou.

Mrs. Zhou also felt the pressure. Every day, as soon as she opened her eyes, she would stir-fry ingredients until late at night. After a day, she was half dead tired and smelled like oily stars.If this smell was quite attractive to her before, but now she smells it and makes her want to vomit.Zhou Shi and Zeng Hongmei, who used to take a bath every few days, now boil a large pot of water to take a bath every day, just to wash away the oily smell of their bodies.

I can't take it anymore.

So when Lu Qianshan brought the bank note, Mrs. Zhou agreed without hesitation.

"Cover, build a big one!" After Zhou finished speaking, he couldn't help retching for a long time.

Lu Qianshan looked at Zhou's face for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said: "Mother is not feeling well, let me do this job, you really don't want to be idle and mix ingredients with Yoyo."

Mrs. Zhou rinsed her mouth with water, sighed and said, "One has to accept old age. I used to be really good at this kind of work, but now... hey..."

The next day, Lu Qianshan asked someone to go to the town to invite a doctor. Zhou saw that the doctor was still at a loss, so Lu Qianshan took him to the room.The doctor took Zhou's pulse and said with a smile: "Congratulations, auntie, this is a happy pulse. It looks like it's been three months."

Zhou was stunned, "What? You said I have another child??" After she finished speaking, her cheeks flushed instantly.Ever since Lu Datian and his family were let go, Lu Guangming's house has become much more spacious, and this person will have some small thoughts when he relaxes.But she is almost 40 years old, how can she still be pregnant? ?

The doctor said: "Auntie is in good health, and this baby is sitting well. As long as you don't get tired, there will be no problems."

Zhou patted her stomach, she didn't know what to say.

Lu Qianshan thought for a while, then called Zeng Hongmei in again.Zeng Hongmei came in with a smell of oily smoke, and said, "What's wrong? Mom, what's wrong with this?"

Lu Qianshan said: "Mother is not sick, I am happy."

Zeng Hongmei blinked, and said, "Mother, you are amazing, you have another one? This is great!" She was really happy for Mrs. Zhou, after all, nowadays we all pay attention to having many children and grandchildren, and being able to have children is a blessing.

Lu Qianshan said again: "Since the doctor is invited, let's show it to my sister-in-law."

Zeng Hongmei immediately rolled up her sleeves and stretched out her arms. The doctor felt his pulse and couldn't help laughing: "Congratulations, little sister-in-law, you are also happy, and it's been almost three months."

"Ouch!!" Zeng Hongmei almost jumped up, "I have it too? This is great!!"

Two women in the family are pregnant, which is a great joy.After Lu Guangming and the others heard about this incident, they turned around happily.Especially Lu Qianfan, he has been married for more than a year, and Zeng Hongmei didn't want him to touch him because of the crowded living space.Later, when the living conditions became looser, Lu Qianfan, an irritable young man, couldn't help it anymore, and wanted to cling to his wife at night.

The happy event spread quickly, and Mrs. Lu and Zhang smashed the bowl angrily when she found out.The rumors about her outside are very ugly now, and they are all saying that she is an old godly woman.Now there is good news from Lu Guangming's family, which is even more telling for the boss.After all, Zeng Hongmei had been married to Lu Guangming's family for a year and there was no movement. As a result, there was movement soon after Lu Datian's family moved out.What does this mean?It's bad luck to go home.

Who is the unlucky one?Naturally it goes without saying.

With his left hand, Mrs. Zhou asked someone to give a message to Zeng Hongmei's natal family, and with her right hand, she was building a workshop behind her own yard, and she also let out the talk. When the workshop was built, people would be selected from the village to do the work, as long as it was clean and efficient. , no matter you are a brother or a big girl or a little daughter-in-law, you can come and try it.

This moment is exciting.

After the busy farming season in the village, the men can go out to earn some household money, but the women can only be busy with family affairs.Those who are diligent feed the pigs and chickens to grow some vegetables, or go to the foot of the mountain to dig wild vegetables, pick up fruits, and firewood.But where are these things that people like more than silver?Moreover, the Lu family in the east of this village is all doing work on the stove, and the female buddies are the best at it. Can they be unhappy?

This has become a major event in the village, and even the village head has come to see it several times, and even started to help supervise the work.

If it is during the slack season, if you say you want to build a house and shout in the village, give a few copper coins, and a lot of men will come to help if you take care of two meals.But now it's the slack season, so you can only go to the town to find someone to build a house, and the craftsmen who build the house can't live in Lu Guangming's yard, but they can live in the original shed over the restaurant.That room has now been vacated to store some sundries, and it is absolutely no problem to tidy up a Chase shop now.

Because the workshop did not have high requirements for the house, it was built in less than ten days.More than a dozen tall wooden pillars propped up a roof, surrounded by adobe, and for ventilation, they were all built half high.There are seven or eight stoves, a row of chopping boards and several rows of shelves in the workshop.In winter, the ventilation wall is sealed with straw curtains and wooden boards, and the several large stoves in the house will not be too cold.

Once the workshop was built, Mrs. Zhou personally managed to boil the pot, and let every brother, daughter-in-law who came to apply for the job go to the stove to see the benefits.Although there is no skill in just frying ingredients, since there are so many people to choose from, it is natural to choose the best one.In addition to frying the ingredients, a few people have to be selected to watch the fire. This has to be done by older and experienced aunts.

After Lu Jinlin found out about this, she immediately told Mrs. Zhao.The workshop can manage a meal, even if you have to hand over all the money to Mrs. Lu Zhang, but it's good to have a full meal there.But now it's busy farming season, although Mrs. Zhao really wanted to go, she couldn't let go of the field.

However, the Zhou family didn't recruit many people. During the busy farming period, men, women, and brothers couldn't leave the house. Those who came to help were half-grown daughters and brothers, and they could only sit for half a day to work every day.But this also made Zhou's a lot more relaxed. She brought Zeng Hongmei and Lu Qianyou's ingredients, watched the girls and brothers fry the ingredients, and looked at the fire head by the way, and finally she was not as tired as before.

Just a few days after it was easy here, someone suddenly came to the door.

The visitor was dressed very richly, with a thin cotton jacket wrapped in silk and satin in a bright cloth robe, with a jade pendant and a delicate purse on his belt, giving him a regal look.

"Where's the head of your family?" The boy next to this man shouted: "Call out your head of the family quickly, our uncle wants to do business with your family!"

Because of the opening of the workshop and the pregnancy of the Zhou family, Lu Qianshan no longer ran to the fields, but stayed at home to take care of them.

Hearing someone shouting outside, he walked out, "What's the matter?"

When the man saw Lu Qianshan, his eyes lit up, "Oh, there is such a delicate little beauty hidden in this remote village?"
