There is a Wangfu wife at home

Chapter 22 Finding a small sum of money

Li Jiaoniang didn't expect Luo Cheng to be so careful.

Not wanting to worry him, she smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to Brother Luo."

The two tidied up the main room, washed themselves, and went into the kitchen together.

"There is a small half can of pheasant soup left over from last night... By the way, is there any staple food at home? You can't get enough from soup alone." Li Jiaoniang opened the soup jar and asked Luo Cheng.

After the pheasant soup is cold, there is a light layer of butter floating on it.

When I lived with my grandma in my previous life, my grandma would use this layer of oil to make noodles, pick a few small green vegetables and put them in the noodle soup to blanch, not too delicious.

Thinking of the delicacy, Li Jiaoniang stuck out her tongue and licked her lower lip.

Alas, I don't know if Luo Cheng's family still has flour. She once learned how to roll noodles with one hand from her grandma, so she just used it to show off.

"No more, even the last bit of millet was cooked by you yesterday." Luo Cheng scratched his head in embarrassment, "I'll go and borrow some rice noodles from my aunt. If you drop it, you will have money to buy rice noodles.”

There are more people in the family to eat, so he has to work harder.

Luo Cheng walked out of the kitchen, looking for a bamboo hat to cover the rain.

Li Jiaoniang stuffed a small piece of firewood into the belly of the stove to make hot soup. At this moment, she remembered something. Luo Cheng said yesterday that the family owed a lot of money, and the creditors spread all over the village.

He has a good relationship with the Xiang family, so he must have borrowed money, and today he went to borrow rice noodles...

If you borrow too much, people will hate it, and the relationship between good neighbors will also deteriorate.

Li Jiaoniang sighed in her heart, when she lowered her head, she accidentally saw her shoes, her eyes lit up immediately.

She was wearing a pair of high-quality embroidered shoes, the ones from the Li family. On the tip of each shoe, there was a pink peony flower embroidered with five small pearls in the stamen.

I'll go, she still has a small amount of money? !

Li Jiaoniang was overjoyed and tore off five pearls from a shoe.

"Brother Luo Cheng, wait a moment."

Luo Cheng put on his hat and was about to walk out the back door, when he heard her shout, he turned around, "What's the matter, Jiao Niang?"

Li Jiaoniang stood under the eaves of the kitchen, smiling and reaching out to him, "Here, take it."

"What?" Luo Cheng walked up to her and looked at her palm suspiciously.

In the white palm lay five white pearls the size of lychee kernels.

"Can you exchange this for something to eat?" Li Jiaoniang said with a smile.

Luo Cheng remembered that it was on her shoes, and immediately shook his head, "No, how can I exchange your things for food? Put them away."

He turned away.

"If you don't go, then I will go." Li Jiaoniang lifted her skirt and ran into the rain and fog.

She ran in a hurry, her feet stepped on the muddy ground, her body flashed, and she almost slipped and fell.

Luo Cheng quickly reached out to help her up, "You are just too sick to be exposed to the rain." He pushed her back under the eaves.

"If you don't let me go, why don't you go? It's just an ornament, so leave it alone." Li Jiaoniang stuffed five small pearls into Luo Cheng's pocket. Help each other, brother Luo, how can I eat for nothing?"

Luo Cheng shook hands guiltily, "Okay, when I have money in the future, I can buy back bigger pearls."

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "That's right, eat your fill first, then you will have the energy to make more money."

Luo Cheng glanced at her, pursed his lower lip, and left.

He will repay her tenfold, he thought to himself.

……

With five pearls, Luo Cheng exchanged back ten catties of rice, two catties of millet, two catties of white flour, one catty of sorghum noodles, and one catty of salt.

"After asking two families, Huang Yuan's family offered a higher price, so I changed it." Luo Cheng said shyly, "Jiaoniang, will the price be less?"
