C79 Scratch Rice

"But, sister, is there really a way to get rid of these apples?" Uncle Lee was still a bit nervous.

"Seeing that Uncle Lee is so worried, how about this, if we work together, we will naturally have to sign the contract, the day is better than the day before, why not sign it today, we can leave a note, if we can't sell it at the market price, our Xiao Family will buy it all." Luo Mannmann said arrogantly.

"Sister, we believe in you. Signing a contract requires a lot of notes, so there's no need for it. Even if the solution provided by Sister doesn't work, your intentions are good."

Uncle Lee was quite sincere. She did not make a mistake, it was good that she worked with a straightforward person.

When Uncle Lee took out a pen and ink and drew up a simple contract, the two of them signed it together.

"Girl, we've already signed the contract. If you need us to cooperate, just tell us."

Luo Mannmann thought for a moment and smiled, "I need some tools. How about this, it's getting late today. Tomorrow morning, Uncle Lee will go to town to buy some oily paper. It'll cost about 100 pieces, 10 pieces of scissors. I'll teach you how to do it tomorrow afternoon."

"Alright, alright. We'll prepare all the materials tomorrow. We'll be waiting for your arrival." Uncle Lee nodded as if he saw a new life, full of anticipation and nervousness.

Coming out of the Lee Family, the two walked along the lush green fields with their hands interlocked together. The sun was setting in the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun shined onto their bodies, covering them like a dreamy, dream-like veil.

Warm heat spread from her palms, making people feel warm. Luo Mannmann raised her head and glanced at the side of Xiao Yiming's face. The outline was three-dimensional, and he was handsome and mesmerizing.

"Wifey, what are you always looking at me for? Is there any dust on my face? "

"No." Someone purposely pretended to be mystifying when Xiao Yiming leaned close to her ear and whispered in her ear, "Could it be that my wife thinks I'm handsome again?"

"Look at your smug look, Xiao Yiming, I realized that your skin is getting thicker and thicker. You really have the character of a businessman, your level is almost as high as mine."

"What's wrong? Did his wife say that twenty percent was a lot? Since my wife's method can solve their urgent situation and even increase the price ten times, it's still something they earned. We just took what we deserved. "

Xiao Yiming was praised by his wife, so his mouth was as sweet as if he ate honey. He could even float when he walked.

"You cheapened yourself and you still act good, you evil merchant." Luo Mannmann laughed as she pinched his handsome face.

"I was led astray by my wife, and my wife is the evil merchant."

Xiao Yiming smiled as he pinched his wife's cheek. Not bad, it was not in vain as he had raised her for so long. Her face was already fleshy and smooth. Holding her felt especially good.

"Stop messing around."

"Then what?"

Hahahaha... The quiet field was filled with the laughter and cheers of the two. Only when they were occasionally greeted by passersby did the two restrain themselves quite a bit.

Returning to the Xiao Family, smoke curled up from the cooking of every household in the village. The fragrance of food wafted out from every single house, causing people's stomachs to rumble with hunger.

At this moment, Aunt Xiao was busy in the kitchen. When she saw the two return, she quickly wiped her sweat and said, "You're back. Wait a moment, the aunt will make dinner soon."

"Auntie, let me help you light the fire."

"No need, it's almost ready. You guys go wash your hands, bring out the tableware and serve."

Aunt Xiao continued to concentrate on her work on the stove. Soon, a tempting fragrance wafted over.

"It smells so good." Luo Mannmann could not help but sniff.

"The freshly cooked Red Braised Meat. Come, it's time to eat. Be careful, it's hot." Aunt Xiao brought a large bowl of Red Braised Meat onto the table. This was the result of her hard work for more than two hours, so naturally, it was extremely delicious.

"Mother's cooking is getting better and better. It's so delicious." Xiao Yiming said as he chewed with relish and stuck out his thumb.

"Alright, your words are becoming more and more glib. Eating is still unable to stop your mouth from popping out. "Hehe, auntie, it's so delicious." Luo Mannmann glanced at him angrily, then laughed.

"Eat more, eat more, and take care of your body …" Only then would he be able to have such a big boy. Aunt Xiao swallowed the latter half of her sentence.

She was not in a hurry, not at all, and could not exert any pressure on the couple. However, she had recently heard that in the corner, the couple was farming in On the Kang every night.

"Aunt, what are you laughing about? Come, let's eat some meat." Luo Mannmann picked up a piece of Red Braised Meat and placed it in Aunt Xiao's bowl. Why did this auntie keep looking at her and laughing? Her gaze made people panic.

Because they had something to do tomorrow, they went to the mountain village to help out. That night, the couple went to bed early.

Early morning of the next day, after the couple finished their breakfast, they packed an ox-cart belonging to Big Uncle Zhang and slowly drove towards the mountaintop village.

The mountain village was indeed worthy of being called one of the most prosperous villages in the village. From the big stone bridge at the village entrance, rows and rows of tiled houses lined up neatly. One couldn't even see any thatched huts on the way down.

Every household had chickens, chickens, pigs, ducks, and so on. As the oxcart passed by the fish pond, many fertile fishes would jump out of the water from time to time.

"This village is really rich, raising fish and contracting the orchards. No wonder the villagers are all well-dressed." Luo Mannmann couldn't help but sigh as she watched the entire way.

"That's right, Mrs. Xiao. I heard that the village head was especially good, and that those who had done some small business in the town before had great business brains. They would spend all day tinkering with these contracts, and have a deep sense of common hearts. "The village's income is truly a few streets behind our village's."

Big Uncle Zhang sighed. They were both in the same village, so the difference was huge.

"Big Uncle Zhang, our village will get rich in the future too." Luo Mannmann's face was brimming with confidence as she said this.

"Hopefully."

The ox-cart came in from the village entrance and took the main road. Some villagers who were passing by saw the unfamiliar faces and were surprised.

"Look at how handsome this young man is, and how pretty that girl is. Which family is she from?" Why did you come to our village? " A rather noisy and obese aunt walked over and looked around.

"That's right, it's been a long time since a person came to our village."

"What are they doing here? They seem to be heading towards the Lee Family, could they be some distant relative of Lee Family?" Some villagers guessed with keen eyes.

Luo Mannmann was unfamiliar with these villagers. With a smile on her face, she looked at them but did not know what to say.

Big Uncle Zhang was also a clear-minded person. Seeing that there were too many villagers spectating, he immediately raised his bull whip, heavily waving it at the cow a few times. The ox-cart quickly ran to the outside of the Lee Family Academy and stopped.

The person in the room had naturally heard the commotion outside, and Uncle Lee ran out excitedly. Seeing that the couple had come as they had promised, he couldn't contain his joy: "Xiao Family Pair, you're here. Hurry, come in and sit."

Sister-in-law Chun Xiang also ran out with a big smile on her face, passionately pulling the two into the room and sitting down.

After sending the two of them off, Big Uncle Zhang drove the ox-cart back again. He had agreed with Xiao Family and his wife to pick them up in the evening.

Big Uncle Zhang weighed the copper coin in his hand, his weathered face was full of emotions. Thanks to Xiao Family occasionally wrapping up his oxcart, his income made him feel better these days.

As she walked into the room, Luo Mannmann was greeted with a clean and tidy appearance as usual. Her sharp eyes discovered that there was an eight-immortal table in the center of the room, covered with oilpaper and many scissors.

"Girl, you've come early. Have you finished breakfast? "Come try this pastry, I just bought it from the town, and it's still warm?" Uncle Lee came over with a teapot and a few teacups.

Luo Mannmann picked up a piece of cake and put it into her mouth to taste it. "Uncle Lee, this cake is pretty good. It's not too bad at all. Yiming, try it too."

"It's quite delicious." Xiao Yiming looked at the furnishings in the room. He had left in a hurry yesterday, so he did not have the time to look at them closely. Looking at them today, the tables and chairs in this room were all of good solid wood.

"Uncle Lee, I saw the oil paper and scissors on that Eight Immortals Table. It seems like you went to town early in the morning." Xiao Yiming said again.

"Yeah, I'm used to getting up early, hur hur." Uncle Lee scratched his head and laughed.

While they were talking, two children ran into the room skipping about. They obviously had innocent looks on their faces, but they spoke as if they were young adults and spoke very calmly, "Father, mother, it's getting late, we need to be sent to the academy."

"Head, hurry up and send the children to school. I'll take care of the guests." Sis Chun Xiang patted the two children's heads affectionately and smiled to Uncle Lee.

"Alright, wife, then you have to welcome the guests well, don't be slow." After Uncle Lee finished giving orders, he patted the heads of the two children and said: "Let's go to school, greet the guests."

The two children looked at Luo Mannmann and Xiao Yiming. At first, they were surprised, but then they put away their curiosity and said in unison, "Brother, hello sister. We're going to the academy. Waving our hands."

"Pfft," Luo Mannmann, who was sipping her tea, almost spat out her tea. "Big brother, big sister, why is our seniority in such a mess …"

"Don't mind these two little devils, girls." The two children obediently let Uncle Lee lead them out of the house.

Seeing them leave, Aunt Chun Xiang retracted her gaze. "About that, let's continue with what we agreed upon yesterday. Girl, the materials you asked us to buy are also done. How do we start?"

"I'll have to trouble Aunt Chun Xiang to bring out some ink and paper."

"Yes, I'll go get it now." "The two children had just gone to school, so there was plenty of paper and ink in the house." Sister, if this is not enough, I will have the boss go to the town to buy some later. " Since they had donkey cart s at home, it was just convenient.

"Enough, Aunt Chun Xiang." Luo Mannmann looked at the stack of Xuan paper. She first took out five pieces, folded them into two, and cut them into 20 small cards. Xiao Yiming was grinding them on the side. The two of them had a tacit understanding.

After the paper was finished, he dipped the brush into the ink and began to write large on the paper, one large word after another on a small piece of paper.

Happy New Year, big money, good luck,... And so on.

Luo Mannmann's calligraphy had already been practiced before, so when she wrote in large characters, it was majestic and grand. It was very unique.
