Chapter 13 Victory in the First Battle
Luo Tian made his attitude clear on purpose, if you want to eat, you can take the money!
People in this era are a little bit blindly following their hearts, what the high-ranking officials do, and ordinary people like to do what they like to do.Five big coins is actually not too expensive. A bowl of noodles in the town costs six renminbi, and there are only a few shredded pork. It's really a bargain like Fang's, who poured a full spoonful of pork belly.In addition, I got up early in the morning, and I was really hungry. Fang's pot of pork belly smelled really good, and there was a new daughter-in-law from a slightly better family. After hesitating for a while, I couldn't help it, so I asked Fang to cook a bowl of rice noodles to try.

Fang smiled and cooked a big bowl, and added another spoonful of pork belly, which seemed to be more than what was given to Magistrate Tang.

Under the envious eyes of everyone, the little daughter-in-law took it over, sat down on the bench where Magistrate Tang had sat before, and started eating sullenly.

Fang's rice noodles really opened today, because it cost five yuan to buy, and the young daughter-in-law ate very slowly, sucking the rice noodles bit by bit, looking at the envious eyes of others, even if it was not delicious, it became Extra delicious.

The little daughter-in-law ate deliciously, and the other two daughter-in-laws couldn't hold back, so they ordered a bowl from Mrs. Fang and ate it with gusto.

Luo Tian was greedy to see it himself, but he was determined not to eat it. These are all sold for money.

After noon, after the soil pickers went back to work, there was actually no more business. Luo Tian did the math, and today he sold six bowls for thirty big bucks, and he didn't even sell his capital back. He couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. .

In the afternoon, the other daughters-in-law and aunts were cleaning up the stalls and preparing to go home. Their own men were carrying out dikes, and they had to rush home to cook, so that the men could have a hot meal when they returned home after a hard day.

Luo Tian looked at the sieve with more than three catties left to dry.She is not worried that the dried rice noodles can be stored for a few more days. There are still two catties of wet rice noodles soaked in the water basin, so it is best to eat them today.

She propped her chin, blinked her round eyes, a little worried.

well!Doing business is really not that simple.

Seeing that no one bought any more, Fang was going to clean up the stall and go back with everyone.

Just after loading the household items on the wheelbarrow, a man who looked like a servant ran down from the embankment and greeted her from a distance: "Sister Fang, hey! Don't go, just wait!"

Fang recognized that it was Tang Han, an attendant who came to eat rice noodles with Tang county magistrate at noon, and stopped quickly.

Tang Han ran to the front like a gust of wind, because he ran too fast, he was still a little out of breath, his face was pale and pale.

Seeing that he was in such a hurry, Fang was taken aback, thinking that the rice noodles she ate at noon were not good, and she was so panicked that she didn't know what to do.

Luo Tian saw that Fang was flustered and at a loss, so he asked, "Uncle, what's the matter with you looking for my mother in such a hurry?"

Tang Han managed to catch his breath, and seeing Fang's expression, he knew that his thoughtless words had frightened her, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "Little girl, don't worry, it's not a bad thing for me to find your mother."

Luo Tian heaved a sigh of relief, secretly thinking isn't a bad thing, is it a good thing?
Tang Han then said to Fang: "Our young master just came from the south. He has a bad appetite and can't eat for the past few days. The old lady at home is in a hurry. We adults think the rice cocoons you made at noon are delicious. I wanted to bring some back to the young master to taste, so that he could whet his appetite. I guessed that you were going to close the stall and go home, so you came here in a hurry."

Mrs. Fang is also a mother. The child has no appetite to eat, and the adults are impatient. She hurriedly said: "There are still a lot of rice noodles, you can get some more for the young master to taste."

The rice noodles in the sieve were covered with sackcloth. Tang Han didn't see it, but only saw the two catties of wet rice noodles soaking in the water basin. Remembering that Fang's cooked this before, he said, "That's all."

Fang searched around but couldn't find anything to put the rice noodles in, so she poured out most of the water in the wooden basin and asked Tang Han to carry the wooden basin back.

Tang Han wanted to give money to Mrs. Fang, but Mrs. Fang didn't dare to accept it, so she refused several times. In the end, Tang Han took advantage of Mrs. Fang's inattention, put fifty Wen, and then ran away quickly with the wooden basin in his arms. It was as if there was some ghost chasing after him, even though Fang's footsteps were too fast to catch up.

Luo Tian counted the big money, no more, no less, exactly [-] Wen, two catties of rice noodles, just enough for ten bowls, according to the current price, [-] Wen is just right.Luo Tian couldn't help but think about the newly appointed Magistrate Tang, who was very clear about prices, and remembered that Tang Han mentioned the old lady, maybe this county magistrate took his old lady with him, and he was also filial.

With the money, Fang didn't take it or throw it away. He just wanted to return it, and he didn't know which village the county magistrate would be on the embankment.

However, Luo Tiandu understood that this County Magistrate Tang had just arrived and wanted a clear name. He didn't want to be greedy for the small money under the eyes of everyone. If Fang insisted on not accepting it, it would be unattractive. The money stayed.

On the way home, Luo Tian did the math. Although they only sold six bowls today, if they add the fifty Wen that Tang Han gave just now, even including the used firewood, rice, oil and salt, their capital has already been returned. , and earning, the remaining half pot of pork belly and three catties of rice noodles is pure profit. Although it is not as good as she expected, it is not bad, so I am very happy.

Fang's mood is also very good, she doesn't think about making money, as long as she can earn back her capital, she will be very satisfied.

Seeing that Fang was in a good mood, Luo Tian took the opportunity to encourage her and said, "Mother is doing business for the first time today, and she behaved very well."

Fang Shi was amused by her pretending to be old-fashioned, and asked her: "Really?" In fact, today she is only in charge of cooking rice noodles, and Luo Tian has to deal with the rest. She answered clearly and rationally. I really don't know where she is so bold at such a young age.As a mother, she was actually not as good as a child of a few years at a critical moment. Thinking of this, Fang felt a little guilty.

Luo Tian didn't even know what Fang was thinking, but he was thinking about another thing.Her family has no land and no land, so if she doesn't want to starve to death, she has to find a way to make money. In the future, there will be more and more small businesses like this, and there will be many people who want to take advantage of it. wake up.

"Mother, we will do some small businesses in the future. If there are people who are greedy for cheap like Seventh Aunt, you can't agree to it for nothing." If the family has food and money, she doesn't care about these things at all, anyway, it's just two bites. Yes, but now that she doesn't know where her next meal will be, she doesn't have the heart of a bodhisattva, and she wants to help others based on her own surplus.

Fang smiled and said: "You little brat, mother wants you to remind me that when your seventh aunt spoke, did mother pretend not to hear and kept silent? Mother is not stupid, so many young daughters-in-law are here, I Even if you want to be a good person, you have to see if you have the capital."

Seeing that she started worrying about housework at such a young age, Fang was proud but also a little sad.It is said that the children of the poor are the first to be in charge of the family. If the parents are not too weak and incompetent, how can it be a child's turn to care about everything and plan for the family?

Only then did Luo Tian feel relieved.

Back home, old man Luo was still working in the field. There were only Yao Shi and Luo Baining in the house. The hogweed that Yao Shi had cut in half was piled up in the yard. If you looked carefully, you could still see a lot of cabbage and carrot lettuce leaves.

When Luo Tiandu and the others entered the door, Yao just came out with a pinch of ashes from the stove, and saw that Fang had more than half of the pork belly and rice noodles left, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he entered the room again, but it was Luo Baining, standing At the door of the main room, staring at the half pot of pork belly, drooling.

She had been smelling the aroma since yesterday, and originally wanted to secretly scoop up two bowls of food while Fang and the others were sleeping at night, but Fang actually brought all the pots into the room, so she didn't eat a sip.

Mrs. Yao has always loved Luo Baining very much. Seeing her drooling with greed, Mrs. Fang didn't let go, so she said, "Boss, you're back? It just so happens that Ningning didn't have lunch today, so you cook her a bowl of rice noodles first." Pad it!"

Luo Baining has always been so greedy that he couldn't even move his legs when he saw delicious food. In the past, when an adult saw a child so greedy, he couldn't bear to hide his face and would divide her, but Luo Tiandu sounded the alarm for Fang, and even now With no money and no food in hand, she hoped that this pot of pork belly would sell for some money and exchange for some coarse grains to fill her stomach. Her own children have been busy with her since early in the morning and have not eaten a bite. At this time, she doesn't want to be generous, and Don't be generous.

She bluntly refused: "Mom, these rice noodles are all for sale, why don't I cook some porridge for her to eat."

"You still have half the pot left! How much can Ningning eat as a child?" Yao frowned, complaining that Fang was too stingy.

Fang Shi really didn't want to deal with Yao Shi. She couldn't forget what Yao Shi scolded Luo Baisu in front of her and the children that day. She knew that this mother-in-law was really vicious and hard-hearted. Son and daughter-in-law, now that the family is separated, she doesn't want to follow this mother-in-law like before.

"Mom, you also know that my family doesn't have much food. If you don't save more, it will be a problem for the whole family to survive the winter this year. I just count on these two dollars to support your granddaughter!"

Yao shi always loves face, when Fang robbed him of some words, he felt angry, but he refused to argue with Fang shi over the few stutters, so he just gave Fang a look and called Luo Baining to go back to the room.

But Luo Baining was unwilling to give up so easily. With Yao Shi's connivance, she never put Fang Shi in her eyes, and she always had a share in the delicious food made at home. This time Fang Shi did it. It was delicious, but she refused to give it to her. She got angry, took a bowl, filled a bowl full of pork belly, and said, "I want to eat it! You used the water from my house and burned my house down." The firewood I live in my house, why don’t you give it to me!”

After speaking, in front of Fang's face, he began to eat with big mouthfuls.

Fang shivered with anger and was speechless for a long time.She thought that she had been in Luo's family for so many years, and she really devoted her heart and soul to this little girl, but this child is still not close to her at all, looking at her is like looking at an enemy, she really can't figure it out.
