o Er naturally also saw it, so he called his family righteous. 。Your brother is going back to school in two days, why don't you help him pack his things 。“ This is about getting rid of the son and p...Jia Ren smiled and poked his sister's nose, "Don't worry, big brother is still going to take the imperial examination and become a top scholar. Then I'll send you off in a grand wedding!"

Jia Yin hugged her brother's neck and acted coquettishly, "No marriage, no marriage, Fu Niu wants to stay at home" 。 “Okay, okay, stay home! If Fu Niu doesn’t want to get married, just stay at home. Big brother will support you for life!” Jia Ren smiled and patted his younger sister, then walked all the way to the entrance of the academy. Only then did he reluctantly hand his sister over to his grandmother. 。The old woman instructed, “Tomorrow the shop will open. Your mother and I can stay for one more day. Don’t worry about us, study hard.” 。” Jia Ren then felt relieved and entered the academy. Some classmates saw Madam Li and Jia Yin from afar, so they approached Jia Ren and asked tentatively, "Li shidi, are these your family members" Jia Ren smiled and replied, "Yes, my family wasn't at ease with me being here, so they opened a small shop nearby." 。“

That student was somewhat surprised. The academy had a free academic atmosphere and rarely looked down on students' backgrounds, so the students came from diverse families. Some were from wealthy and noble families, while others were from humble and poor ones. ” 。Compared to wealthy families, there are many more commoners and small households. 。Jiarren looked at the food, which was just average, and didn't think that his family would have this kind of ability and effort. To actually open a shop in the commercial district, just to be close by and keep an eye on things... 。Then, he smiled and said, "After studying, I'll head back to the dormitory. Let's walk together, I brought a lantern. " 。" Good. 。Jiārén did not refuse his kindness and went to the school with a smile. 。On the road, he always felt something uncomfortable in his arms. He reached out and touched it, and was startled—it was two ingots of silver weighing five taels each! Thinking about it carefully, the taste in his heart became even more complicated. 。"It must have been the little sister who snuck this in!

He thought he hid his thoughts well, but he didn't expect to be found out by this little girl!" 。In fact, he regretted going to the academy after entering. It wasn't just as simple as the monthly ten taels of tuition money. 。Eating, buying ink and stationery, buying a flute, buying a sword, everything needs silver. 。I still have some ink and brushes, and I can choose the cheapest meals. I can even go down to two meals a day from three. 。But the flute costs two ounces, while the sword costs eight ounces of silver. He wanted to back out, but the master said it was impossible. 。When he came to study, his family brought him over five ounces of extra money. These days, he spent more than one ounce, and the rest was not enough to buy a sword and a flute. 。He has been worrying these days and even thought of going to a calligraphy and painting shop to take on some copying work, but it's like trying to quench thirst with water from far away. 。I don't want someone to suddenly open a shop in my house. I won't have to worry about meals anymore, and I'll also have family nearby, like having a solid support system. 。Now my younger sister has given me some silver, which solves the problem of buying a sword and a flute. 。Things that once made him difficult, like an iceberg meeting the sun, just melted away in an instant. 。He felt a mixture of bitterness and warmth in his heart. He took several deep breaths before suppressing the lump in his throat. 。What other reason could he have for not studying hard Li Laotai walked back with her granddaughter, a smile no longer on her face. She whispered to her granddaughter softly 。"Funiu ah, is your older brother studying too hard Although he only picks the good ones, I can see that this child isn't doing well. 。What am I supposed to do I don't know how to ask, I'm afraid it would make him feel worse. 。"

Jia Yin thought for a moment, then leaned in to her grandmother's ear and whispered something. The old woman was taken aback and lightly patted her granddaughter's hand. >>> 。"You little rascal, you treat silver like candy and just hand it out" Jia Yin giggled and acted coquettishly, "Silver is useful, Big Brother. With silver, Big Brother can buy anything!"The old woman sighed and finally kissed her granddaughter. "Grandma's getting senile. I didn't expect this much..." 。It's not that silver is useful, your older brother can solve any problem with money. 。"Grandma is not old! Grandma didn't go to school, of course she doesn't know " 。"The kind words comforted the old woman, causing her to smile." 。"Okay, Grandma doesn't age 。But remember, you can't do that again in the future. 。I will tell your Uncle Three, your elder brother needs money he can get it at the shop. 。" "Got it" 。Jiāyīn jumped down and ran to the backyard first, afraid that Grandma would catch her and nag endlessly. 。The next day, the whole family got up early. Li Lao San and Jiahuan went to the nearby market for a stroll, buying a large slab of pork belly and some simple necessities. 。When the sun was high in the sky, a large pot of green bean porridge had been cooked inside the shop and placed under the eaves to cool. 。Zhao Yuru made four small dishes, walnut spinach, garlic sauce string beans, pickled cucumber stir-fried minced meat, and another one with old vinegar radish. 。Jia Huan had prepared two kinds of fillings: one was a vegetarian filling made with carrot and seaweed, and the other was a meat filling made with pork and Chinese cabbage. 。When the dough was ready, the whole family gathered together to make dumplings. 。Li Laosan put a carbon furnace at the entrance of his shop. On top of the furnace, there was a small iron pot, stacked with seven or eight layers of bamboo-woven steamer baskets. 。One steamer basket holds exactly eight steamed dumplings. With a bowl of congee and two side dishes, it's just enough for one person to have a satisfying meal. 。Today the shop just opened, a steamer of vegetarian dumplings sells for ten wen, and meat dumplings sell for fifteen wen. 。Both mung bean porridge and small dishes are considered gifts, attracting a lot of attention. 。After three days, mung bean porridge and side dishes cost five wen, and the most expensive meal together wouldn't exceed twenty wen. 。I suppose students can afford it and more importantly, it would keep them coming back. 。Finally, when it was lunchtime and the students had a break, they all went out to look for food as usual. 。 Suddenly, I saw that the usually deserted food stall had a fragrant smell. The charcoal stove was smoking with heat, steaming white dumplings, round and plump, they looked really good. 。Some people were impatient being crowded with others, so they walked in. 。When the new boss arrived, the students felt even more at ease. 。Soon, the first batch of steamed dumplings was all served on the table, and the second batch was also placed on the charcoal stove. 。Students, sipping on the refreshing mung bean porridge and taking a bite of sweet or savory side dishes, all felt that their parched appetites were soothed. 。Having steamed dumplings again was a surprise, the vegetarian dumplings didn't have the spiciness of the radish, but instead had a hint of sweetness. 。Even the meat dumplings are not greasy, and the cabbage is even fresher. 。Unknowingly, the porridge was finished, the dumplings were eaten up, and even the small dishes were cleared. 。He only spent ten or fifteen coins. That's incredibly cheap! 。

Someone couldn't help but ask, "Boss, do you still sell dumplings here in the evening"

Li Laosan was responsible for greeting guests at the front. He laughed and said, "Sir, we serve stir-fried dish sets here in the evening. A bowl of rice with one meat and one vegetable is fifteen wen, guaranteed to be filling and delicious. The most expensive set is two meats and two vegetables, only thirty wen.

My chef learned his skills from the descendants of imperial chefs. If you don't like it, I won't charge you a penny. 。The students were all very interested and clamoring to come back in the evening for another taste. 。Jiarren came late because he went to look for Mr. X to pay him money. 。I was still worried about the shop's business, but Uncle Three was so busy that he even sweated. He just stood at the door and smiled... Let alone how busy the Li family was, let's just say at Wang Yuanwai's courtyard in Xindu City South, after having lunch with his wife and children, Wang Yuanwai went to his study as usual>>> 。Wang Fusong offered tea and water, then leaned forward and whispered, "Master, the loyal Uncle who previously served the old master has been found..." 。“Oh” Wang Yuanwai’s eyes flashed with a hint of complexity as he asked, “Is he still alright” “Zhong Shu is still tough, just that things at home are not very worry-free...” 。"Wang Fuy responded, “His son became addicted to gambling and owed over a hundred taels in gambling debts. He was beaten and had his leg broken." 。"Mr. Wang frowned, thought for a moment and motioned for Wang Fu to come forward, whispering a few instructions in his ear." 。Wang Fu's eyes held a hint of surprise as he cautiously inquired, "Master, are you truly determined to do this"Wang Yuanwai nodded. "You heard me right. Retrieve the IOU your Uncle Zhong's son signed at the gambling den." 。Then you personally take Uncle Zhong to the small courtyard in Xicheng. I want to ask him some questions. 。Here it is, I've uploaded the content for you!

The old lady hurriedly moved out a sturdy rattan chair and helped Huiniang sit down. "Huiniang, you must be tired. Take a rest for a while! You have two babies in your bell...
