Chapter 71

Lu Jiao sent Mrs. Zhao and the others out, and thanked her repeatedly. Several people happily said: "We are the ones who want to thank you. You are willing to teach us about medicinal materials. This trivial matter is not worth thanking."

Just as Lu Jiao sent the Zhao family away, Xie Xiaobao came in from outside the fence, carrying a crucian carp that weighed a pound in his hand.

"Third Aunt, I will give you a crucian carp. I caught it. This is the biggest one."

Xie Xiaobao was smiling, and there was still a lot of mud on his clothes.

When Lu Jiao saw the crucian carp, she thought of a problem. Although their food is good recently, most of it is meat. Children tend to get angry if they eat it all the time, and the four little ones are not only small, but also short.

In fact, Lu Jiao really wanted the four little ones to drink only milk, so they could grow taller with more calcium.

The fourth child is just because they are multiple births, premature babies, thin and small at birth, and the acquired nutrition cannot keep up, so they are not tall, so this may affect their height.

Lu Jiao was very worried, but there was no milk right now, so she would eat more fish and drink more fish soup first, then she would find a way to get some milk for them to drink, and if there was no milk, she would drink goat milk.

While thinking about it, Lu Jiao reached out to take the crucian carp, and said with a smile, "How much is it, Third Aunt will give you the money."

Xie Xiaobao immediately pouted unhappily: "Third Aunt, I don't want money, I'll give it to you."

Lu Jiao stopped being polite to him, but instead asked him, "Are the fish easy to catch in the village?"

Xie Xiaobao nodded: "It's okay, but the fish is very fishy and unpalatable, so everyone is not willing to eat it."

Although it is meat, but the fishy smell is too strong, people don't like to eat it.

He was too greedy, so he caught it back to satisfy his hunger.

Lu Jiao smiled: "Where is it fishy, ​​come and taste it when I cook it later."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Xie Xiaobao and said, "Third Aunt has something to tell you. If you catch another fish, how about selling it to me? Just sell it at the fish price in the town."

The price of fish in the town is ten cents a catty, Xie Xiaobao was a little tempted, but looking at Lu Jiao, he shook his head firmly and refused: "No, third aunt, I don't want money to send you."

Lu Jiao was funny, this guy knew she was embarrassed, she thought for a while and said, "Well, you catch fish for me, and I go up the mountain to hunt prey and exchange fish with you, how about it?"

"Then you are at a disadvantage?"

In Xie Xiaobao's heart, meat is much more expensive than fish, so Lu Jiao made a final decision: "That's it, if you get the fish, send it over. By the way, no matter what kind of fish, loach and eel will do."

Xie Xiaobao was surprised: "How can you eat those two things? They are unpalatable."

"It's okay, I will make something delicious and let you taste it then."

Xie Xiaobao nodded, Lu Jiao stuffed him with two candies to thank him for the fish he sent today, Xie Xiaobao happily left.

Lu Jiao took Qingyu and Tian said that they would eat Qingyu braised in braised sauce tonight.

Tian's answer was absent-minded. Lu Jiao saw that there was something wrong with her expression, and asked with concern: "Mother, what's the matter with you, is your complexion uncomfortable? If you feel uncomfortable, I'll take a look for you."

Tian immediately shook her head, she looked at Lu Jiao, hesitant to speak, looking very hard to speak.

Lu Jiao thought for a while, thinking about what Xie Yunjin and the patriarch said today that she taught Xie's villagers to recognize herbal medicine, could it be that Tian wants her to teach the Lu family to recognize herbal medicine.

"Mother wants me to teach my brother and sister-in-law to recognize herbs?"

When Tian heard this, her eyes were a little cautious: "Although they are not good, they shouldn't have conflicts over five taels of silver, but this is also because life is difficult, so mother is thinking whether you can teach them to recognize herbs, so that the family life It's better."

In fact, Lu Jiao didn't have much popularity with the Lu family, she just wanted to teach them a lesson, and she had prepared a job for the Lu family before, but she was made a fuss about by the Lu family and forgot about it.

Lu Jiao thought about it, looked at Tian and said, "Mother, it's okay to teach them to recognize herbs, but even if they learn to recognize herbs, it's not a long-term livelihood. The herbs on the mountain are because the villagers haven't known them for a long time, so they don't move. Turn around." After we get to know each other, we often go to the mountains to collect herbs, so it’s nothing.”

"I actually thought about making a living for you before. After thinking about it, I thought of teaching you how to make tofu. After learning, the family will have a long-term livelihood, and life will not be sad in the future."

After hearing Lu Jiao's words, Tian's face was shocked, and then he reacted and stood up excitedly: "Jiaojiao, can you make tofu?"

At the end of the sentence, she shook her head as if thinking of something: "No, no, making tofu is a serious craft. You should save it for the future to teach the quadruplets."

Lu Jiao couldn't help laughing, the father of the quadruplets will be Lord Shoufu in the future, how could they learn how to make tofu.

But Lu Jiao didn't tell Tian about this, she smiled and said, "Mother, I have other crafts in my hands, and I will teach them to the quadruplets in the future. This tofu making is what I think for the Lu family."

As soon as Lu Jiao finished speaking, before Tian could speak, a person rushed in from outside the kitchen, and stretched out his hand to hug her excitedly.

Lu Jiao subconsciously raised her hand to take a picture of this person, but it turned out to be her younger brother Lu Gui.

Lu Gui hugged Lu Jiao excitedly and said: "Sister, you are really my own sister. We were wrong before and we shouldn't treat you like that. Sister, don't be angry. My brother will definitely treat you well in the future."

His sister can not only save people, but also recognize medicinal materials, and now she can even make tofu, and the most important thing is to teach the Lu family such skills.

Lu Gui felt that her sister was really powerful now, and now he no longer had to be afraid of coming to Xiejia Village like he used to, afraid of hearing what others said about her sister.

The people in Xiejia Village are talking about how good her sister is, generous, kind-hearted, and kind.

He heard it as sweet as drinking sugar water.

Lu Jiao pushed Lu Gui away in disgust: "Stay away from me."

Lu Gui made a bitter face, and said carefully: "Sister, are you still angry with me? It's my fault, and my brother and sister-in-law are all bad. Don't be angry. I'll let my brother and sister-in-law follow you You apologize."

Lu Jiao waved her hand angrily: "Okay, I don't care for your apologies, do you think I'm angry and you treat me badly? I think you're treating your mother badly, and I taught the Lu family how to make tofu because of your mother's sake." In terms of face, it's not for you."

Lu Gui immediately puffed up his chest and promised: "Sister, don't worry, no one in the family will make your mother angry, and if someone makes your mother angry, I will be the first to say no."

In the kitchen, Tian raised her hand to wipe away her tears. This is her tenderness. She considers everything for her. Everyone in the world says that giving birth to a daughter is like giving birth to a padded jacket. This is really true.

Lu Jiao looked at Lu Gui and said unhurriedly: "I taught the Lu family how to make tofu, and I only taught my mother. You can help my mother. As for selling tofu, the three families will sell it and let my mother send you money every day." If you sell ten catties for three copper coins, if you sell one hundred catties a day, you get thirty copper coins, which is nearly one tael a month, and more than ten taels a year."

"This is your private house. Your mother will pay for the food and drink of the whole family. You can see that this is feasible."
