Jiaren smiled and nodded his younger sister's nose, "Don't worry, brother still has to take the No. [-] Scholar exam, and then I'll send you off to get married."

Jiayin put her arms around the elder brother's neck, and coquettishly said, "I don't marry, I don't marry, Fu Niu wants to stay at home."

"Okay, okay, stay at home! If Fu Niu doesn't want to marry, stay at home, big brother will take care of you for the rest of your life!"

Jiaren smiled and patted his younger sister. He walked all the way to the gate of the college, and he reluctantly handed his younger sister to grandma.

The old lady instructed, "The shop at home will open tomorrow, and Fu Niuer and I can stay for a day. Don't worry about it, study hard."

Only then did Jiaren feel relieved and entered the academy. Some students in the same class saw the old lady and Jiayin from a distance, so they stepped forward and asked tentatively, "Junior Brother Li, is this from your family?"

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

The student was a little surprised, the style of study in the academy was free, and the family background was rarely seen, so the students' family backgrounds were uneven, some were rich and noble, and some were poor.

Relatively speaking, there are still more poor families.

Seeing that Jiaren's food and food are average, he didn't want his family to have such strength and dedication, so he opened a shop in the commercial street, just to take care of him nearby.

So, he laughed and said, "Go back to the dormitory after studying, let's go together, I brought a lantern."

"Okay." Jiaren didn't refuse his kindness, and went to the school together talking and laughing.

On the way, he always felt a little tight in his arms, and when he reached out to touch it, he was startled. It turned out to be two five taels of silver coins!

Thinking about it carefully, his feelings became more complicated.It must have been sneaked in by my sister just now!

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

In fact, he regretted it when he entered the academy. It's not just as simple as twelve bundles of repairs every month.To eat, to buy pens and inks, to buy a flute, to buy a long sword, it can be said that everything costs money.

There are still pens and ink for the time being, and you can pick the cheapest one for meals, and even change three meals a day to two.

But the flute cost two taels, but the long sword cost eight taels of silver. He wanted to repent and give up learning, but the master couldn't agree.

When he came to study, the family brought him more than five taels of change. These days he spent more than one tael, and the rest was not enough to buy a long sword and a flute.

He has been worrying for the past few days, and even wanted to go to a calligraphy and painting shop to take over the job of copying books, but he couldn't quench his thirst.

I don't want my family to come here suddenly to open a shop, so I don't have to worry about eating in the future, and I have relatives by my side, just like having a backer.

Now my sister gave me silver again, which solved the problem of buying swords and flutes.

The things that made him difficult, like an iceberg meeting the sun, melted instantly.

His heart was sore and warm, and he took several deep breaths to suppress the choking.

What reason does he have for not studying hard?

Mrs. Li hugged her granddaughter and walked back, without a smile on her face, and whispered to her granddaughter.

"Fu Niu, is your elder brother too tired from studying? Although he only picks out good things to say, I can tell that this child is not doing well. What can I do? It's not easy for me to ask. Heavy."

Jiayin thought for a while, and then she said something in her grandmother's ear. The old lady was taken aback for a moment, then raised her hand and patted her granddaughter lightly.

"You girl, you used silver as a candy ball, and you just give it to you?"

Jiayin smiled and acted coquettishly, "Silver 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 so confused, I didn't expect so much. Isn't money easy to use? No matter what your elder brother worries about, 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 the old lady laugh.

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

"Understood." Jiayin jumped off the ground and ran to the backyard first, for fear that 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 poles in the sun, a vat of mung bean porridge was boiled in the shop and left to cool under the eaves.

Zhao Yuru made four side dishes, spinach with nuts, cowpea with garlic paste, fried minced pork with salty cucumber, and a radish with old vinegar.

Jiahuan prepared two fillings, a vegetarian filling of radish and dried shrimps, and a meat filling of pork and cabbage.

After the dough was reconciled, the family gathered together to make dumplings.

Li Laosan put a charcoal stove at the door of the shop, a small iron pot was placed on the stove, and seven or eight layers of small bamboo cages were stacked.

There are exactly eight steamed dumplings in one cage, with a bowl of porridge and two dishes of side dishes, which is just enough for one person to eat.

The shop is newly opened today, a basket of vegetarian dumplings sells for ten yuan, and meat dumplings sells for fifteen yuan.

Mung bean porridge and side dishes are considered as gifts, gathering popularity.

After three days, mung bean porridge and side dishes are worth five yuan, and the most expensive meal together is only twenty yuan a meal.

Presumably the students can afford it, and they can keep repeat customers.

After finally waiting until noon, the students took a lunch break, and they were still "looking for food" as usual when they left the gate.

Suddenly, I saw that there was a scent at the door of the most deserted restaurant on weekdays, steaming on the charcoal stove, and the steamed dumplings were fat and hot, and they looked really good.

Someone walked in impatiently with other people.

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

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

The students drank the mung bean porridge to relieve the heat and ate a mouthful of sweet and sour or salty side dishes, and they all felt that their dry appetite was soothed.

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

Before I knew it, the porridge was gone, the dumplings were gone, and even the side dishes were on CD-ROM.

One person spent ten or fifteen coins, which is simply too cheap.

Someone couldn't help asking, "Boss, do you still sell dumplings at night?"

Li Laosan was in charge of greeting the guests at the front, and now he said with a smile, "Sir, we sell a stir-fry set meal here at night. A bowl of rice plus one meat and one vegetable costs fifteen renminbi. It is the most expensive one. The set meal is two meat and two vegetables, and it's only [-] yuan. My chef has learned the craft from the heir of the imperial chef, and it doesn't cost money if it doesn't taste good."

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

Jiaren came a little late because she went to find her husband to pay the money.

Originally, I was worried that the business of the shop would not be good, but my third uncle was so busy that his forehead was sweating, so he stood at the door and laughed...

Not to mention how busy the Li family is, but to say that in the courtyard of the Wang family in the south of Xindu City, after having lunch with his wife and children, Wang Yuanwai went to the study as usual.

Wang Fu delivered the tea, and whispered, "My lord, the loyal uncle who served the old man before has been found."

"Oh?" A look of confusion flashed in Wang Yuanwai's eyes, and he asked, "Is he in good health?"

"Uncle Zhong is quite tough, but the family is not too worry-free." Wang Fuying said, "His son is obsessed with gambling, and owes more than 100 taels of gambling debts, and his legs were broken by others."

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

There was suspicion in Wang Fu's eyes, and he asked tentatively, "Master, do you really want to do this?"

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