Dressed As a Farm Boy, He Cheated on His Way Out of the Desert.: Chapter 211 Silver is everything!

Chapter 211 Silver is omnipotent!

Jiaren smiled and nodded his sister's nose, "Don't worry, my eldest brother is still going to take the first prize, and then I'll give you a chance to get married in glory."

Jiayin hugged her eldest brother's neck and said coquettishly, "No, no, no, Fu Niu will stay at home."

"Okay, okay, stay at home! If Fu Niu doesn't want to get married, just stay at home. Big brother will support you for the rest of your life!"

Jiaren smiled and patted his sister. He walked all the way to the entrance of the college and then reluctantly handed his sister to his grandma.

The old lady asked, "Our shop will open tomorrow, and Fu Niu'er and I can stay for one day. Don't worry about it and study hard."

Jiaren then entered the academy with peace of mind. A student in his class saw the old lady and Jiayin from a distance, so he stepped forward and asked, "Junior brother Li, is this a member of your family?"

Jiaren responded with a smile, "Yes, my family didn't trust me, so they opened a small shop nearby."

The student was a little surprised. The academy has a liberal style of study, and family background is rarely seen. Therefore, the family backgrounds of the students are uneven, including rich and poor families.

 Comparatively, there are still more small households from poor families.

Jiaren saw that the food and supplies were just mediocre, but he didn't expect his family to have the strength and intention, so he actually opened a shop in the shopping street just to take care of it nearby.

So he smiled and said, "After reading the book, go back to the dormitory. Let's go together. I brought a lantern."

 “Okay.” Jiaren did not refuse his kindness, and they went to the school together laughing.

On the way, he always felt a little nervous in his arms. When he reached out and touched it, he was startled. It turned out to be two fifty taels of silver!

 Thinking about it carefully, he felt more complicated. My sister must have just snuck it in!

He thought it was good to hide his thoughts, but he didn't expect to be discovered by this little girl.

 Actually, he regretted it when he entered the academy. It was not just as simple as practicing twelve bouquets a month. Eating, buying pens and ink, buying flutes, buying long swords, it can be said that everything costs money.

I still have pen and ink for the time being, and I can choose the cheapest meal, or even eat two meals a day instead of three.

But the flute cost two taels, and the long sword cost eight taels of silver. He wanted to regret not learning, but the teacher couldn't.

When he came to study, his family brought him more than five taels of change. He spent more than one tael these days, and there was not enough left to buy a sword and flute.

He has been feeling worried these past few days, and even wants to find a calligraphy and painting shop to get a job copying books, but water from afar cannot quench his thirst nearby.

 I don’t want my family to suddenly come here to open a shop. I don’t have to worry about food in the future, and I also have relatives around me, which is like having a backer.

Now my sister has given me money to solve the problem of buying swords and flutes.

 Things that once embarrassed him were like icebergs that melted instantly when they encountered the sun.

His heart felt sour and warm, and he took several deep breaths to suppress his choking.

 What reason does he have for not studying well?

Mrs. Li hugged her granddaughter and walked back. The smile disappeared from her face and she whispered to her granddaughter.

"Fu Niu, is your eldest brother too tired from studying? Although he only picked the good ones to talk about, I can see that this child is not doing well. What should I do? I can't ask him, for fear that he will be worried even more. Heavy."

Jiayin thought about it for a while, then she leaned into her ear and said something. The old lady was stunned for a moment, then she raised her hand and patted her granddaughter gently.

 “You girl, you use silver as candy balls, and you just give it away?”

Jiayin, however, smiled and acted coquettishly, "Money is easy to use, give it to big brother, big brother can buy anything!"

The old lady sighed and finally kissed her granddaughter, "Grandma is just confused. She didn't expect so much. Money is not easy to use. No matter what your brother has trouble with, money can solve it."

"Grandma is not old! Grandma has never read a book, so of course she doesn't know." Jiayin comforted the old lady, making her laugh.

"Okay, grandma is not old. But remember, you can't do this again in the future. I will tell your third uncle that if your eldest brother wants to use silver, he can get it in the shop."

"I know." Jiayin jumped down and ran to the backyard first, for fear that her grandma would catch her and keep nagging her.

On the second day, the family got up early. Li Laosan and Jia Huan went to the nearby market and bought a large strip of pork belly and some simple supplies. At three o'clock in the morning, a large bucket of mung bean porridge was cooked in the shop and placed under the eaves to cool.

Zhao Yuru made four side dishes, spinach with nuts, cowpeas with garlic paste, stir-fried minced meat with salted cucumbers, and a radish with old vinegar.

Jia Huan prepared two kinds of fillings, a vegetarian filling made of radish and dried shrimps, and a meat filling made of pork and cabbage.

 After the dough is ready, the whole family gathers together to make dumplings.

Li Laosan placed a charcoal stove at the door of the shop. There was a small iron pot on the stove and seven or eight layers of small bamboo baskets.

There are exactly eight steamed dumplings placed in one basket, along with a bowl of porridge and two plates of side dishes, which is just enough to feed one person.

Today a new shop opened. A basket of vegetarian dumplings sells for ten cents, and a basket of meat dumplings sells for fifteen cents.

Mung bean porridge and side dishes are both given as gifts to build popularity.

 After three days, the mung bean porridge and side dishes will be counted as 5 cents, and the most expensive meal together is only 20 cents.

 I believe that students can afford it and it will be able to retain repeat customers.

 Finally waited until noon. The students had a lunch break. As soon as they came out of the gate, they were still "foraging" everywhere.

Suddenly, I saw that the door of the most deserted food shop actually smelled delicious. The charcoal stove was steaming hot, and the white steamed dumplings were plump and piping hot. They looked really good.

Someone was impatient to crowd with others, so he walked in.

 The students will feel more relieved when they see a new boss.

Soon, the first batch of steamed dumplings were put on the table, and the second batch was also put on the charcoal stove.

The students drank mung bean porridge to relieve the heat and took a bite of sweet, sour or salty side dishes, and they all felt that their hot appetites were soothed.

 Eating steamed dumplings was also a pleasant surprise. The vegetarian dumplings were not as spicy as radish, but had a hint of sweetness. The meat dumplings are not greasy, and the refreshing taste of the cabbage is more obvious.

 Unknowingly, the porridge was all gone, the dumplings were gone, and all the side dishes were gone.

 It cost ten or fifteen cents per person, which was simply too cheap.

Some people couldn't help but ask, "Boss, do you still sell dumplings here at night?"

Li Laosan was in charge of greeting the guests at the front. He smiled and said, "Mr., we sell stir-fry set meals here at night. A bowl of rice plus one meat and one vegetable costs fifteen cents. It's guaranteed to be full and delicious. The most expensive one The set meal consists of two meat and two vegetables, and it only costs 30 yuan. My chef learned the craft from the royal chef, so if it’s not delicious, it’s free of charge.”

 The students were all interested in what they heard, and they all clamored to come and try it in the evening.

Jiaren came a little late because he went to pay money to his husband.

Originally, I was worried that the business of the shop would be poor, but unexpectedly, Uncle San was so busy that his forehead was sweating, so he stood at the door and laughed...

 Let’s not talk about how busy the Li family is here, just say that in the courtyard of the Wang family in the south of the new capital city, after having lunch with his wife and children, Wang Yuanwai went to the study as usual.

Wang Fu brought tea, stepped forward and whispered, "Master, the loyal uncle who served the old man earlier has been found."

"Oh?" Wang Yuanwai asked with a complex look in his eyes, "Is he in good health?"

"Uncle Zhong is quite tough, but his family is not too worried." Wang Fu responded, "His son became obsessed with gambling, owed more than a hundred taels of gambling debt, and had his leg broken."

Wang Yuanwai frowned, thought for a while and signaled Wang Fu to come forward, and whispered a few instructions.

Wang Fu had surprise in his eyes and asked tentatively, "Master, do you really want to do this?"

Wang Yuanwai nodded, "You heard it right, redeem the note that Uncle Zhong's son signed in the casino. Then you personally take Uncle Zhong to the small courtyard in the west of the city. I want to ask some questions."
