In an unfamiliar place, and in the house they had just rented, there was a sudden knock on the door. Su Luo and Chun Xing were shocked and their hearts tightened. Even Su Zimu remained motionless, looking towards the door with a pair of big eyes.
Look.
Bang bang bang~
"I'll drive..." Chun Xing took a deep breath and said.
Su Luo pressed her hand and said, "Take Zimu to the wing to clean up. I'll go take a look. Maybe it's a nearby resident. We've moved here and they can come and take a look."
It sounds easy to say, but all the way to the door, there was a thick layer of sweat on my palms.
She was a little scared.
I was afraid that there would be bad guys, and I was even more afraid that when the door opened, Chen Heng would be there.
Feeling uneasy, Su Luo opened the door, and then...was stunned.
Standing outside was a man who looked to be around ten or twenty years old. He had broad shoulders and long legs. Although he was wearing an ordinary coarse cotton quilted robe, he had a face with sharp features that made him look handsome.
You Qi has a pair of peach blossom eyes, with a restrained outer hook and slightly drooped brows, looking at Su Luo.
"Little brother?"
Su Luo suppressed her anxiety of meeting a stranger in a strange land and tried her best to smile calmly and asked, "Who are you?"
"My surname is Xiao. I am a student of White Deer Academy. I just rented the yard next to my little brother. Well...my family is too poor. I have spent all my money on renting a house and have no money for food. I heard
Brother, this is also a newly rented house. Do you need help cleaning it up?
I can help you clean up the yard, but do you care about my meal?"
Su Luo's eyes widened instantly.
This is the first time I've heard someone talk about cheating so confidently.
"Don't you have a canteen in your academy?" Although Su Luo didn't have much contact with outsiders during the years in Zhenninghou Mansion, she had lived in Qianzhou for ten years before, so she still had this common sense.
"The school is responsible for one meal, but didn't I just enroll in school today? I will officially go to class in three days. I haven't had anything to eat in these three days." The student surnamed Xiao said that he had no food.
calm.
Su Luo:......
But I don’t have to clean up my house for three days.
Looking at the person in front of her, Su Luo hesitated, "Is it just you?"
"I also have a younger brother who is not very happy, but we have to clean up the yard we rent. He stays at home to clean up my house, and I will help you clean it up and make a meal on the way, okay?"
Su Luo:......
Are you scholars so straightforward in your affairs?
As if he was afraid that Su Luo would not agree, the student surnamed Xiao took out his admission letter from his arms and handed it over.
"I'm not a bad person. I'm really a student of White Deer Academy. Look, this is the admission document I just applied for. It's stamped by White Deer Academy. I still have clothes issued by White Deer Academy at home. If you don't believe it,
I can go back and get it.
As for eating, although I still have a younger brother, since he doesn’t contribute to your family, you don’t need to worry about his food, just feed me.
I don’t need to eat too much, I’m very satisfied with just one steamed bun.”
Su Luo didn't take his admission document, but glanced at the words on it, Xiao Yu.
When she does business in the future, she will inevitably come into contact with all kinds of religions. It would be good for her if she could make friends with scholars.
Moreover, not all students in the academy are given clothes.
Anyone who can have clothes must at least be a scholar.
After thinking aloud in her heart, Su Luo stepped aside and said, "Then please ask Xiao Xiucai to help me tidy up the yard. After tidying up, ask your brother to come over for dinner."
Xiao Yu did not deny the title of scholar, and said with a smile, "You are so kind, little brother."
Chun Xing could clearly hear what they said at the door. Seeing that Su Luo had brought the people in and that the man named Xiao had already gone to the main room to clean up, Chun Xing asked Su Luo, "Is this person reliable?"
Su Luo said: "Reliable or unreliable, if you live here in the future, you will always come into contact with this kind of people. It is impossible for us not to deal with outsiders. I saw that he is indeed a student of White Deer Academy. I just tried to test
After thinking about it, he must be a scholar. Even if his character is not good, he can't do anything too outrageous. The worst thing is that we should have less contact with him in the future."
Chun Xing nodded and said nothing more.
Just as he was about to return to the side room to continue cleaning up, Xiao Yu came out of the main room.
"Little brother, your house is quite empty. Even if you clean it up today, you can't sleep at night. Besides, don't you even have a pot for cooking?
I'll finish my work soon, will there be food?"
Xiao Yu was very worried that he would not be able to eat.
"How about I stay here to clean up and help you look after the yard for a while? You go buy pots and pans quickly. If I don't have time to cook, my work will be in vain."
Su Luo:......
She didn't hesitate.
There is nothing in this yard, so there is no need to worry about being stolen.
Xiao Yu said this, so she took Chun Xing and Zimu to the street to buy things.
Although things in the town are much cheaper than in Kyoto, a set of pots, pans, bed and quilts cost a full eight taels of silver.
That bed Su Luo chose was the cheapest bed.
These items were large, and after paying the price, the store would help deliver them to your home. After buying the items, Su Luo was thinking about business and went to the pork shop.
It's not worth it to go into the water. This is exactly what Su Luo wants to do.
In the past, when I was in Qianzhou, my mother had brine the pig's pig's heart, liver, intestines and lungs with her specially prepared brine. The taste was incredible.
When renting a yard today, Su Luo went around and found that there was no brine business in Chunxi Town.
The low cost is just right for her to give it a try.
"Brother, have you entered the water?"
It was mid-afternoon, and there was little business at the pork stall. The man who butchered the pigs was a strong man in his thirties, holding a sharp knife in his hand and preparing to cut whichever piece of meat the customer liked.
Hearing this, he was stunned.
"What?" The strong man looked up at the thin little brother in front of him with a shocked look, thinking he had heard wrong, "What do you want?"
No one eats this thing in the water.
Su Luo didn't feel embarrassed at all, and said with a generous smile: "The pig's intestines, lungs, etc. are all there? I want to buy some."
The strong man heard it clearly this time.
When I heard it clearly, my shocked face turned into full of sympathy.
There are two children, one big and one small. One is thinner than the other. How poor must this family be to be so thin? The bones of the shoulders cannot be extended, and the body is not strong at first glance.
Don't be a family medicine jar.
The butcher is a strong man with a good heart.
"Little brother, this thing is inedible. It smells fishy. You can't get it in your stomach even if you spend money to buy it. If you really want to buy something meaty, you might as well buy some big stick bones. This is cheap. You can put a big stick bone at home.
The pot is boiling and can stew the dishes for three or four times. The dishes are all meaty, so I think it's cheaper for you."
Su Luo didn't explain either, she just smiled and said: "Then buy a big stick bone and some water."
The butcher frowned. Seeing that he insisted, he didn't try to persuade him any more. He killed the pigs diligently and didn't throw away the pigs even if he didn't want them. They were all piled up in the barrel.
Lifting the bucket to Gu Luo, the butcher said, "How much do you want? Can you take all the ten cents in this bucket?"
Su Luo knew that it was cheap to buy water, but she didn't expect it to be so cheap. Although this big bucket was all mixed up in a mess, which didn't look good, the weight was solid and solid. It was mostly a bucket.
"That's fine, but I came here in a hurry and didn't bring anything to do with you. How about you sell me this bucket too," Su Luo said.
When she spoke, her eyebrows were slightly curved and she smiled a little, which was very festive.
The butcher frowned and said, "I just bought this bucket a few days ago. Forget it, it's only fifteen cents. Let's take it with the bucket."
Although he has a bad reputation as a pig butcher, he has no worries about food and clothing. He also has children at home. He especially hates to see children suffering, especially the child opposite, who is estimated to be only four or five years old. When the adults are talking, he looks at him eagerly.
, so pitiful.
Chun Xing counted the coins and gave them to the butcher, then left with Su Luo carrying the bucket of water.
Su Zimu put the stick bone into the vegetable basket and slung it on his shoulder. The little man followed Su Luo closely.
The three of them bought some ginger and aniseed ingredients for making brine on the way home.
When you get to the door of your home, open the door and go in.
"my God!"
When she saw the courtyard at a glance, Chun Xing was so shocked that she almost thought she had gone to the wrong place.
