Across the Market

Chapter 119

The second day is the Laba Festival. According to the custom, Laba porridge, Laba noodles, and Laba tofu are eaten in Laba.The Zhu family's dim sum shop is very busy now, and they basically don't have much free time during the day, so these tasks that should have been done on the second day can only be moved to the first night.

There is no heavy work, but it is just to prepare all the ingredients for making Laba porridge the next day, so that I can cook porridge and drink it directly when I come back tomorrow night.

Zhu Fu knows that the customs of the Laba Festival are different in different places. Generally, the northern regions will eat Laba noodles and Laba garlic, while the southerners will eat Laba porridge.In some areas, there are other customs on the day of Laba Festival.But no matter what, the Laba Festival is celebrated by every household across the country.

Accompanying Wei Sanniang to finish the work, Zhu Fu led his younger sister by the hand and entered the room. Seeing that the elder sister had poured out the copper plates from several clay pots, she looked at the copper plates that almost covered the entire bed. , asked happily: "How is today? How much money did you make?"

Zhu Xi put all the copper plates into clay pots, and said with a smile, "Today is better than yesterday. If you don't count the capital, you have earned almost one or two taels more than yesterday."

"Wow, that's a lot of money." Sister Nuan is a little money fanatic. She wants to kiss money when she sees money. She widened her eyes and looked at the high pile of copper coins on the bed. The copper plate rolled back and forth, with a smile on his face, "Eldest sister, sleeping on the copper plate is so comfortable, isn't our family considered rich now?"

"Get up." Zhu Xi patted his younger sister's buttocks, pulled her up, hugged her and said, "At least don't worry that you won't be able to open the pot in the future, and you don't have to worry that sister Nuan has no meat to eat, and I also have the money for my elder brother to marry a wife, and I have all the money for your elder brother to study."

Zhu Fu approached with a smile, grabbed Zhu Xi's shoulder and said, "The elder sister's dowry money is also in place."

"What are you talking about?" Zhu Xi's face turned red all of a sudden. After pushing Zhu Fu, she lowered her head, and then didn't say a word, just pretending to be money.

Sister Nuan suddenly thought that her brother and sister Tiehua were coming, she squeezed her whole body into her eldest sister's arms, and rubbed hard: "Elder sister, brother is going to marry a wife, I saw it." She was very excited , patted his fleshy hands vigorously and said, "Really, brother and sister Tiehua are getting married, and there will be one more person in our family."

"What's going on?" Zhu Xi was quite surprised. She knew that her brother was interested in that Zhao Tiehua, but with her brother's temper, even if he liked him to death, he would just be bored in his stomach. With that stupid mouth, how could he? Tell me, something must have happened.

Zhu Fu saw the word "gossip" written on the elder sister's face, so he couldn't help but pinch Nuan's fleshy face and said, "It's only a bit of a horoscope, at least Miss Tiehua has a good impression of her brother, as for how to develop next , It depends on whether my brother's attitude is positive." She pouted her mouth, rubbed her sister's face vigorously and said, "Sister Nuan, you must control your mouth, don't talk nonsense, let brother and Tiehua get along with each other, Don't make trouble."

Sister Nuan's chubby face was deformed by Zhu Fu's squeeze, and her facial features were all wrinkled together. She didn't resist, just nodded blankly, and said with difficulty: "I just want my brother to marry a wife, and my brother married a wife , there is one more sister in the family to play with me. I listen to the second sister, and I will not talk nonsense in the future, hehehe."

Zhu Fu loves this fat sister to death. The little sister sometimes loses her temper, but most of the time she is very sensible.She let go, patted Miss Nuan's head and asked, "Sister Nuan, where's your money pot? Bring it here, Second Sister is going to give you a raise."

As soon as Sister Nuan heard that the money was going to increase, Xiao Rou rolled over and rolled to the ground, then ran over and carried out the money jar under the wall.

"I've saved a lot of money." Sister Nuan held the piggy bank and shook it vigorously, and there was a clear and crisp sound of copper coins colliding inside, and she burst into laughter when she heard the sound, "Eldest sister, two Sister, I haven't spent the money you gave me indiscriminately, and I can do more things."

Zhu Fu gently scratched the tip of his sister's nose, and said with a smile: "You just need to take care of Brother Shou. Also, you must study hard and read at least three to five characters every day. Second sister will learn with you. " She took twenty copper coins from the bed, counted them one by one in front of Sister Nuan, then threw them into the clay pot that Sister Nuan was holding, and said with a smile, "From now on, I will give you twenty copper coins every day."

Sister Nuan was so happy that she wandered around the small room with her clay pot in her arms, humming the little song that Zhu Fu taught her before.

Zhu Fu pulled his sister over, hugged her and said, "Can my sister teach you another song?"

Sister Nuan huddled in her elder sister's arms, nodded fiercely and said, "I like the song that Second Sister taught me, I think it sounds good, what song does Second Sister teach me this time?"

"Number song." Zhu Fuyi's watery eyes were full of bright stars, he smiled and nodded his sister's nose, and began to sing, "One by one makes one, one two makes two, one three makes three..."

The second day was the Laba Festival, and Zhu Fu still got up before dawn, even earlier than the previous few days, and hid in the kitchen as soon as he got up to work.

She is now able to make a hot pot base that at least satisfies herself, and plans to make hot pot for everyone in the Jingbin Building after the Laba Festival.
