Chapter 185 Cherries

Luo Tiandu's home gym finally opened, and the income is not bad. The first business made 20 taels of silver. Although she knew in her heart that at least 20 taels of the [-] taels were hush money, it didn't affect her. The happy mood after making money, as long as there is money to make, who cares whether it is the money for renting sandbags or the cost of keeping her secret?

Because of the success of the first business, her enthusiasm was immediately mobilized, and she became more and more busy.

Not long after that unknown little lady, several little ladies came one after another one after another, and they even earned more than 50 taels of silver in that month. The only thing that made Luo Tian feel a little depressed was that those little ladies She was mysterious, covered her face tightly, and kept silent, as if it was embarrassing to associate with her family.She was depressed for a while, and later saw that although these little ladies were noble, it did not prevent them from giving money, so she put aside this emotion and only treated them with a businessman's attitude. When guests came in and out, she also tried her best , be sure to protect the privacy of these customers.After going back and forth, the reputation has gone out, and after a month, you can also pick up a few businesses and earn tens of hundreds of taels of silver.

Luo Tian felt very satisfied with this.Their family has a simple population, and their expenses are much lower than other families. Luo Baisu is not a spender, and he rushed to offend the household department, which became more and more annoying. How can I put it off? I always have to socialize two or three times a month, but now it has completely stopped. I go home directly after finishing my work in the office every day. After a month, I can save a lot, and now I have a few more The income of ten or hundreds of pennies is not a small income after all.

Every time she counts the money, she can't help but sigh with emotion, this strict etiquette does not know how many good-looking young girls have been ruined, otherwise her business would not be so easy to start.

Speaking of which, she also took advantage of Luo Baisu and Fang's. Originally, hanging sandbags was not too difficult, but except for Fang's and Luo Baisu's parents who dote on their children, who would be willing to let their daughter do it? Such a shocking thing, if it spreads out, it's not a shame.

However, Luo Tiandu only handed over half of the money he earned this time to Fang, and kept the other half by himself.It is probably a common psychological problem of modern people. Even if it is her own parents, she is still used to earning money and spending it by herself. She has no money at hand, and she feels very insecure in her heart. It is very unaccustomed to eat in the same pot, and all the money earned is handed over, and then distributed by the head of the family.Fortunately, Mrs. Fang didn't say anything. After knowing that she wanted to handle the money herself, she even asked her to save the money she earned so that she didn't have to hand it over to her.

Luo Tiandu's home gym can be regarded as a tacit secret among the little ladies in Shangjing, but they come a little more frequently, and the Luo family's sacks suffer. Every time a visitor comes back, a bag is always broken , It cost a little more cloth, but fortunately those sacks are made of farmhouse burlap, which is very cheap, even if you use more, it doesn't matter.

However, Luo Tian felt that the sports in her home gym were too simple. If possible, she would like to add more sports, such as tennis, table tennis and badminton. However, considering the level of industrial development these years, it is still considered Well, but the entertainment room is booming now. After the hero killing, checkers, chess, chess, etc. have been added, so that when the maids and women are waiting for others, they can also have a pastime. They play Be happy, if my little lady is depressed again, she can persuade her from time to time, indirectly helping Luo Tiandu get business.She remembered that there was a little lady surnamed Hu, because the favored little maid beside her fell in love with the game of checkers, and from time to time persuaded her little lady to come to Luo's house. The Luo family went to visit three times, making Luo Tian think that the Hu family is the best, which makes the little girl so depressed.If it weren't for the fact that the pieces of her checkers are hard to find, Luo Tian would really like to give her a pair.Beads of the same color and size are really uncommon.

Thanks to these new gadgets, Luo Tiandu's popularity among these little ladies is gradually improving. Although no one is willing to associate with her publicly, at least when she goes out on the street, she meets someone she knows. He won't hide his face and leave, but Luo Baisu and Fang are still in an embarrassing situation and no one cares about them. Well, Luo's family is already an annoying existence like Wei Que in Shangjing.

It's early summer, and the weather is getting hotter.In the past few days, Fang felt a little uncomfortable, and couldn't eat much.Luo Tian wanted to invite a doctor, but Fang refused, saying that it was because of the hot weather. Luo Tian didn't even suspect him, and was thinking of going to the street to buy some fresh and refreshing snacks to appetize Fang .

After breakfast, Luo Tiandu took out ten slings of money and asked Zishu to carry it on his back. Just as he was about to go out, Wei Que came again and brought a basket of cherries.

Fang's is a knowledgeable person, so she couldn't help but widen her eyes and said in surprise: "Oh, I didn't expect to be able to eat cherries in Shangjing at this time."

Only then did Luo Tiandu suddenly realize that the people here call Cherries cherries.

Hearing Fang's words, she asked curiously, "Why? Is this cherries a rare thing?" She didn't think there was anything unusual. After all, it was so convenient when she lived in the past. It's not a new thing, ten yuan a catty, when it's expensive, fifteen or twenty yuan a catty, she has to eat a lot all year round, but after coming here, she has never eaten it, let alone eat it, she used to see it Never seen it once.

Mrs. Fang glanced at her, and said with some reproach: "This child is really loud. This cherries are only found in the southern capital of Lixiang. Where can I find them in Shangjing? Besides, cherries are like wild pears and wild hawthorns." It is easy to preserve, and it will be broken in a few days after picking it off. You don’t know how much effort it took to transport it to Shangjing even though there is only such a small basket.”

Uncle Gu also nodded and interjected: "That's right. I heard that every family in Lixiang has seeds. Now it's time to mature. I'm afraid no one wants a penny or a catty. It's nothing in the south, but It is a rare item in Shangjing, even if you have money, you can’t buy it if you want to eat it.”

Even in Shangjing these days, it is rare to see fresh fruits from the south.Inconvenient transportation is one of the reasons, and fresh fruits are not easy to preserve. Such a basket of fresh cherries, not to mention ordinary people, is also a rare and precious thing. Because it is easy to preserve, it is not uncommon to transport it to the south, although the price is a bit higher.

Fang has been feeling uncomfortable for the past few days, she has no appetite to watch anything, and only drank half a bowl of porridge in the morning. Now she is looking at this basket of cherries. Although it is not big in size, it is bright red in color and full of luster. It looked like agates, very cute, I couldn't hold it anymore, I just felt slurred, so I asked Xiang Lan to fetch water, washed half of the basket, put it on a plate, and invited everyone to eat together stand up.

The sun in early summer is not very strong, but it shines warmly on people.There are several people in the Luo family, except for Luo Baisu and Cheng Qing who are working in the government office, everyone else moved the benches and sat in the yard eating cherries, not to mention how comfortable they are.The cherries tasted really good. It was sweet and sour in the mouth, very refreshing and appetizing, especially Fang's, who was willing to stop eating it.Luo Tian was afraid that she would eat too much and skip lunch.

However, with Wei Que present, both Xiang Lan and Zishu ate with trepidation, especially Xiang Lan, just as he put one in his mouth, he felt Wei Que's sharp knife-like eyes swept over him, making him feel uncomfortable. No matter how delicious the cherries are, they will change their taste in the mouth after eating them.Later, Luo Tian saw how pitiful she was, so he secretly took a bunch, handed them to her, and asked her and Zishu to go out to eat.Of course, she reciprocated, bringing out a lot of baked cookies.

Obviously, Wei Que's preference for sweets like snacks is far more than fresh and delicious melons and fruits, even the rare things brought back from the south.

Luo Tian watched him pick up the biscuits and eat them one by one. He felt a toothache, so he couldn't help but stop him: "Hey, don't eat too much, be careful of tooth decay." If he really ate his teeth, she would But there was nowhere to find a dentist for him.

Wei Que paused for a moment with his hand reaching for the dessert plate, and then decisively withdrew his hand.

A basket of cherries looks like a lot, but they are actually not worth eating. Fang left half of the basket for Luo Baisu, and she ate more than half of the remaining half. Lan Zishu, the four of them soon split up.

It is said that cannibals have soft mouths and short hands to hold people. After eating half a basket of fresh cherries from Wei Que, when Xiang Lan came in to ask Fang's lunch arrangements, Luo Tian saw that Wei Que had no intention of leaving, so he had to invite him: " Anyway, it's already noon, if Mr. Wei is fine, you can stay at home and have lunch, don't be disgusted with those who have a rough meal."

Wei Que pursed his lips, his eyes were still on the plate of dim sum, and after a while, he said, "I want to eat meat."

"Success." Luo Tiandu wiped his hands, wiped off the juice on his hands, and walked out.

There is a big shot here today, so she has to go to the kitchen to supervise in person. Fortunately, yesterday, I bought a leg of lamb at home. It was originally because Fang had no appetite, so I bought it specially to stew for her, and it happened to be used today.Wei Que specified that he wanted to eat meat, and there was only one lamb leg at home. Luo Tian guessed that it would not be enough, so he sent Xiang Lan to weigh some more meat, and specifically pointed out the pork tenderloin that was close to the ribs, even if it was more expensive, it didn't matter. .

Xiang Lan responded, took the money and went out.
