After cleaning up the tofu stall, Lu Zhihang pondered for a moment and thought about it. This was a good idea. He had no intention of staying in Zhangjiacun for a long time. The education here was backward. In the past, his father, Lu Xuelin, was the one with the highest level of education. Now he is

If this sixteen-year-old boy wants to study with someone with a higher level of education, he has no hope in Zhangjiacun. If he can't leave this small mountain village, how can he get to Heaven.

But the problem now is that if he takes out all the money he has, will it be enough for him to settle down in the county and meet his daily needs?

The monthly rent for an ordinary bungalow in Changhuai County is 200 Wen. He must continue to sell tofu and soy milk to make a living. The location of the house he looks for cannot be too bad, and he has to have a shop, so the price will be much higher.

The monthly rent of 500 fen may not be enough. He will only have 900 fen left when he has all his wealth and the 150 fen just entered into his account today. The total is only one tael and 50 fen. When he arrives in town, he still has 900 fen.

I have to buy some furniture. The pens, inks, papers and inkstones used by Lu Zhi have been around for a while. If possible, I have to buy the Four Treasures of the Study. After careful calculation, I need money for everything. Moving to the county is not a small matter. I have to talk to Zhang.

Let's discuss it.

After cleaning up the stall, Lu Zhihang was reading a book. In the blink of an eye, it was Youshi. Smoke was burning everywhere in Zhangjia Village. The mother and son had a dinner together with Zhang Tieshu. There was no tofu on the table. It was all brought by neighbors a few days ago.

Fruits and vegetables, a dish that was rare today, were stir-fried, and three eggs and some minced meat were added. Zhang did not move his chopsticks, but gave them to Lu Zhihang.

After dinner, Zhang Tieshu didn't want to stay long, so he left on his own after eating. Zhang originally wanted to go back to the house to do some needlework so that he could save some money to buy some paper and ink, but Lu Zhihang stopped him and stood up.

, sat back on the wooden chair again, and asked with a smile: "Zhihang, do you want to discuss buying paper and ink?"

Today, the tofu and soy milk were sold for more than 100 yuan, and the net profit after the cost was not cheap. Compared with her daily sewing work, it was much easier to make. As a result, Mrs. Zhang was in a good mood all day long.

Zhang Tieshu was kind to Zhang Tieshu, so when she had some spare money, she naturally began to plan to buy something for Lu Zhihang. She used to think that her son was smart since he was a child, and he won the first place in the county examination at the age of thirteen. If he hadn't kept filial piety, he would have had his hair tied

It's not a bad thing to be a scholar, so I'm proud of him, and it's all a matter of pride when he mentions him, but now he has put down his books on sages and started taking care of family affairs. While Mrs. Zhang is worried, her heart is filled with tenderness. Her son just can't help it.

Reading is also a way out.

However, this thought flashed across Zhang Yuanshu's mind. She still had to read books. No matter how wealthy a businessman's family was, it was far behind being an official. Since her Zhihang had such a talent, he should take the imperial examination first.

Only by working hard on the road can the lintel of the family shine.

"It's not a matter of paper and ink. I have been thinking about it for a long time and want to discuss it with my mother. How about we move our family to the county?" Lu Zhihang did not show off. Once he had decided, he got straight to the point.

Ms. Zhang was stunned when she heard that her son wanted to move to the county. She had lived in Zhangjia Village for most of her life and had never thought about moving away. But then she thought about it. In this small Zhangjia Village, her son was a human being.

How can we accommodate the dragons and phoenixes? After we save enough money to repair, we have to find a teacher to teach. The teacher of the only private school in Zhangjiacun is just a boy. There is no reason for one boy to teach another boy.

Can he still teach a scholar? So Zhang nodded and said: "If Zhihang wants to move, we will move."

Lu Zhihang was still thinking about how to persuade Mrs. Zhang, but he didn't expect that the other party would agree so easily after he lowered his head and thought for a while. He was happy to save himself a lot of words. He immediately discussed the relocation with Mr. Zhang. The two discussed it for a long time, and finally

It was agreed that tomorrow we would take the donkey cart of Zhang Laoer from the village entrance to the county to find someone to look after the house. Lu Zhihang had one or two silver of his own, and Zhang had some savings from doing needlework. As long as the tofu sales in the town were no worse than in the village,

The mother and son lived in the town, and besides having enough food and clothing, they could still scrape together some money to buy books. The more they chatted, the more enthusiastic they became. Zhang was delighted but also worried that it was affecting the sales of tofu in the town.

The next day.

The two of them made an agreement with Zhang Laoer and gave him a few pennies for a ride. The donkey cart ran over the loess land, and the road was full of potholes, which made Lu Zhihang feel dizzy. Fortunately, he was mentally prepared. This was Lu Zhihang's first time.

It was not my first time to take a ride on an ancient means of transportation, but it was not my first time to ride a horse. I had gone to a racecourse in modern times. After enduring the journey, I arrived at Changhuai County in about an hour. I got off the car and agreed to meet here at three o'clock in the morning.

As soon as Lu Zhihang got off the donkey cart, his body was a little unstable. He leaned against the wall for a while before he felt better. This made Mr. Zhang very worried and made him think again that his body was too weak and he would have to exercise even more when he went back tonight. It turned out that

How can his physical condition improve if he never leaves or takes a step, and has the temperament to study hard all day long? Although he has not exercised much in the past few days, he is still better than at the beginning.

"Are you feeling better?" The worry on Zhang's face was undisguised. She was also dizzy, but she had no time to care about herself at this moment.

Lu Zhihang stood there, with a slight smile on his face, and said softly: "It's all right. Let's go to the dental shop to find a dentist to live with."

Seeing that his expression was normal, Mrs. Zhang felt relieved. Thinking that Lu Zhihang didn't know the way, she took him to Yaxing in the county. Fortunately, it was not far from where they got off the car, a few hundred feet' walk.

On the way, Lu Zhihang looked around, admiring a live version of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival". He didn't care about the glances that occasionally passed over his face. After walking for a quarter of an hour, the two of them saw the row of teeth from a distance.

When people saw them walking toward the tooth walk, they immediately put on a flattering smile on their faces, and walked towards them enthusiastically, holding their waists.

"Madam, your young master is so handsome!" As soon as Yaren arrived in front of them, he praised Lu Zhihang. Unlike the past, he was sincere and sincere this time.

"My son has only been studying since he was a child and rarely goes out. He is fairer and laughs." Ms. Zhang said modestly, but the joy in her heart could be seen in her curved eyebrows.

"Oh! He's still a scholar, that's amazing! Madam, I wonder if you and the young master want to buy slaves or a house?" The middle-aged man with several kilograms of flesh on his face said with a flattering smile.

"I want to rent a three-bay house with a front hall that can be used as a shop. The monthly rent is about 500 yuan." Zhang followed the request agreed with Lu Zhihang last night and answered without thinking.

"What a coincidence, I have a house that I want to rent out this morning. It happens to be the front shop and the back shop. How about I take you to see it?" Yaren waved to them with a smile on his face and led the two of them to turn left and right.

, passed through several small streets, and arrived at a relatively busy street. He stopped at a large three-bay house with a closed door with a clear goal, and then skillfully opened the pillow lock.

When Lu Zhihang arrived here, the first thing he did was not look at the layout of the house, but looked around and observed the neighbors. This street is full of food sellers. Next door is a steamed stuffed bun shop. The flow of people is pretty good. He plans to open a shop.

, the adjacent shop on that side should have the same price as the tofu, and both are the best places to eat.

After looking at the neighbors, he turned back and followed Yaren into the back room. The three bays in front formed a horizontal whole, which could be used as a facade. The doors and windows were much larger than ordinary houses. It would be a bit big for selling tofu. If

In addition to selling tofu, they also wrote a few more recipes for Mr. Zhang, and set up a dine-in restaurant with enough space to set up three small tables, so I might give it a try.

After looking at the front store, Yaren saw that both of them had expressions on their faces and were a little unsure, so he led them to the side rooms on both sides. The area connected behind can be used as a workshop for making tofu, which is private and convenient at the same time.

, connected to the patio on the side, the narrow room behind the side room is used as a storage room, and the larger one is the master room, but there are only two rooms. If someone else is hired to make tofu, Lu Zhihang is worried and recruits Zhang Tieshu.

There was no room for him to live, unless he was willing to live in the storage room, which could barely fit into a bed after tidying up.

"How much is the rent for a month?" Mrs. Zhang didn't seem very satisfied. She frowned and said nonchalantly. She was still eager to give it a try, as if she didn't want to stay any longer.

Yaren's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "My house is in a good location. We often come here for the morning market in town. It only costs 600 yuan a month."

"600 Wen?" Mrs. Zhang shook her head and left.

Yaren stepped forward to persuade him to stay, and said with a troubled face: "Why don't you, madam, give me a price, and I will discuss it with the owner of the house?"

The two bargained for a long time, and they were just about to move the eighteenth generation of their ancestors. Lu Zhihangdu was very impressed, and finally settled the deal with a rent of 550 Wen per month. After agreeing on the price, Zhang went to the government to apply for the lease without stopping.

After signing the contract, he hurriedly hurried to meet Zhang Laoer at the agreed time.

The news that the Lu family was moving to the county spread throughout Zhangjia Village overnight. Some were reluctant to give up the tofu and relaxed when they heard that they could go to the county to buy it. Some were reluctant to leave Lu Zhihang, mostly a few

There is no married girl in the farm family, but Lu Zhihang is a scholar. Even if Zhang didn't speak, they felt that they didn't know a single word, how could they be worthy of Lu Lang? They usually only dared to sneak a look, but this time they couldn't even take a look.

No chance to see it. Fortunately, Zhang Tieshu was very happy to hear that he could go to the county. Lu Zhihang was already looking for someone to help him make tofu. After he moved to the county, he wanted to focus on studying.
