Dressed As a Farm Boy, He Cheated on His Way Out of the Desert.: Chapter 76 It can\'t enter the tea shed on the roadside!

Chapter 76: It can’t enter the tea shed on the roadside!

The Li family courtyard is actually quite lively even without the fourth Li.

 But people, old and young, are all worried about it. If something is wrong in their minds, they will not be able to eat or sleep well.

Jiaxi Jiaan doesn’t know the reason, but children are the best at watching and are cautious when they are naughty.

On this day, Jiaren returned home after a long break, finally adding a bit of joy to the family.

Tao Hongying cheered up and cooked several delicious dishes.

Mrs. Li asked her eldest grandson to ask questions, for fear that he would suffer hardship in the college.

Jiaren felt warm in his heart, teasing his sister with a gentle smile and talking to his grandma.

　　When he first entered the academy, he was indeed ostracized and ridiculed because of his poor family.

Especially when Wu Ergou went to ask for money, it was very ugly.

 But as time went by, he studied hard and had talent. His husband liked him and often praised him.

Most of the classmates who lived together in the college were from farm families. After getting to know each other, they made a few quarrelsome friends.

 His reading life has become much easier because of these.

This year there was a severe drought. During such a difficult time, the family did not stop spending money on him and even often sent him food.

You must know that when there is fire from the sky, the college is not short of water, but it does not have the luxury to water the vegetable garden.

 So, the vegetables sent from home are simply too valuable.

He honored his teacher half and asked Zao Jian to cook the remaining half and invited his classmates to eat together.

This made his classmates more kind to him and they got along more harmoniously.

Whoever brings delicious food will be invited to eat with them.

Mrs. Li was happy and satisfied with the good news. She no longer had to worry about her brother being bullied in the academy.

Jiaren’s chubby little sister couldn’t help but kiss her little lotus-knotted arm and asked.

“Mistress, my sister will be one year old at the end of the month. Do we need to put wine at home?”

Mrs. Li nodded and took out her granddaughter's small jewelry box.

The gold collar Mrs. Sun gave her had been rubbed several times.

When the time comes, I will put it on my granddaughter, set up two banquet tables, and invite everyone in the village to come and have a drink.

But thinking about her son who was still outside, she sighed in her heart, and she didn't know if the fourth child could make it back.

He will not be at home when his granddaughter's 100th birthday comes. It would be a real pity if she cannot catch up with her when she turns one.

Jiaren didn’t know where his uncle had gone, but there was no way that escorts would not be dangerous.

He wanted to say a few words, but he was worried that grandma would be even more worried, so he changed his words.

"Mistress, our college has opened an elementary school class again, and I'm afraid we will have to recruit students in a few days. Our family is happy and safe, do you have any arrangements?"

These words were a shot in the arm, and they immediately brought back the old lady’s mind from drifting away with her old son.

 “Education class? It’s great!”

Mrs. Li was so happy that she took her eldest grandson's hand and asked him carefully.

“How many children are enrolled in Mengxue? Do they need to take a test in advance to choose a teacher? How many students are required to study? Can they live in the academy?”

Jiaren was worried about his younger brother, so he asked about it before bringing it up.

He said, "The monthly salary is 500 yuan, which does not include food and accommodation. You need to study day and night. The selection will start in early August. There will be exams, but it shouldn't be difficult."

Old Mrs. Li frowned, her two grandsons both went to school, and they only had one tael per month, so the family could afford it.

 I’m not afraid of taking the test, after all, I’ve been studying at home for more than half a year.

It's just that this day study is a bit troublesome. It's unrealistic to pick me up and drop off at home in the morning and evening. I still have to find a way.

"There's still nearly a month left. Let me discuss it with your father and your uncle."

Jiaren nodded and did not persuade him any more.

 He is now providing for the family and is already very sorry.

 With two more younger brothers studying, the burden on the family is too heavy.

Jiayin played with the wallet on his eldest brother's waist and felt worried after hearing it from beginning to end.

 I bought more than 100 taels for groceries earlier, which I thought was a lot. But there are many people in the family, and the expenses are really too high.

 I can’t say, I still have to find a way to continue making money.

 The harvest will be done in less than two months, and the grain cannot be sold.

It turns out that the fruits in the Space Courtyard can be picked again, and I will find a way to send them to Kyoto when the time comes.

 I just don’t know if I can find someone who took advantage of me like last year and sold it for dozens of taels.

 Don't mention trivial matters at home, just say that Li Laosi and Liu Biaotou ran away at high speed for three or four days.

Seeing that they were still a hundred miles away from their destination, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Biao looked into the distance and saw a tea shed at the intersection of a small town not far away, so he said.

“Let’s take a rest, eat some solid food, and then run there in one go.”

 Li Laosi licked his chapped lips and nodded.

 The two of them arrived outside the tea shed and tied their horses, and the enthusiastic young man came forward to greet them.

“Two guests, please come in and have a seat, the sun is too hot.”

As he spoke, he took the cloth from his shoulder and wiped the table.

 “Bring us a pot of herbal tea, not dry food.”

Liu Biaotou looked around and saw no guests, so he didn't have any doubts.

 After all, it was too hot at noon. Everyone was hiding at home to enjoy the cool air, and no one was willing to go out and walk around.

 The boy responded loudly and quickly delivered a pot of herbal tea.

Liu Biaotou sniffed it, tasted it and nodded.

Li Laosi drank two bowls and then took a long breath, finally feeling a little relieved from the heat.

Liu Biaotou also drank a lot, and when he wanted to ask for another pot, the boy took out a pot of jelly, added minced garlic, soy sauce, etc. and stirred it.

That jelly is probably made from japonica rice pulp. It looks white and is paired with blanched vegetables. It looks delicious no matter how you look at it.

Liu Biaotou swallowed his saliva and wanted to have a bowl, but Li Laosi took out dry biscuits and meat sauce instead.

 “Let’s eat all the meat sauce, otherwise it will spoil.”

Liu Biaotou also looked away and started eating with Li Laosi.

Tao Hongying’s cooking skills are particularly good. The fried meat is slightly dry and fragrant, and the sauce is also salty. Mix it together and serve it with flatbread. You will never get tired of eating it.

The young boy Xu sniffed the aroma of the meat sauce and stepped forward with a smile.

“Two guests, where did you buy the meat sauce? We have newly added cold rice noodles in the store. It may taste better with this meat sauce.”

Li Laosi smiled and said, "I brought it from home, but there is no place to sell it outside. I'm afraid I will be disappointed!"

As expected, the waiter sighed and quickly filled two bowls of rice noodles.

“I’d like to give these rice noodles to my two guests to try. There are no customers today, so they will go rancid if left alone. If it tastes good, I’ll ask you to come back and take care of the business.”

 Liu Biaotou and Li Laosi looked at each other and shook their heads.

“Thank you, brother. We brought a lot of dry food. It would be a pity if we didn’t finish it. We will definitely try this rice noodle again next time we pass by.”

 The boy looked a little embarrassed when his kindness was rejected, and he took back the bowl.

Liu Biaotou and Li Laosi ate quickly, quickly packed up their things, paid for the tea, and then continued on their way.

Not far away, there is a hilltop with a small river at the foot of the hill.

The two horses were a little thirsty, so they ran straight over and drank gulps of water.

 Li Laosi and Liu Biaotou also jumped down to wash their hands and faces to cool down.

“This journey has been hard, but fortunately the drought has passed, otherwise finding water to drink on the way would have been a problem.”

 “Yes, God is merciful.”

The two chatted for a few words, then picked up the horses and continued on their way.

 At this moment, something unexpected happened.

 A feather arrow shot out from the mountain forest and headed straight for the two of them.
