This is a very particular family!

It’s good for poor people to have grains to eat at home. What is oil?

Throughout the year, there is no oil star.

In Lao Xu's family, they are reluctant to put oil in cooking recently, but they are not as willing as Xu Jiaojiao.

Fry pancakes in oil until both sides are browned.

This costs a lot of fuel!

If the head woman of an ordinary family saw it, she would be heartbroken to death.

Everyone, including Erlang, a man who rarely went to the kitchen, was dumbfounded.

However, he has a dull temperament, and even if he is speechless, he will not ask too many questions.

Then he stared at his old lady in shock.

You must know that the pancakes made by Xu Zhang for them were not eaten by the old lady alone. Although the fillings were sufficient, they did not want to add more oil and just fried them. Now they are fried by the old lady until both sides are golden and look even better.

have eaten.

It smells delicious too.

Xu Jiaojiao saw Erlang's stupid look and thought it was funny, "What are you looking at? Your uncle's house has a lot of oil, so help him use it more. It will be fine. The journey is long and I am very tired on the road. Who knows what the next meal will be? When will it be?

Eat? Eat something good if you can."

Erlang said oh.

All right.

After frying three or four pancakes first, they were no longer fried.

Let's continue frying when Liao Qing and others come back.

Xu Jiaojiao ate one pancake, and Erlang ate three pancakes each.

The hot tea soup and the fragrant hot pancakes taste very comfortable and fragrant, and can be heard outside the yard.

Not long after the aunt and nephew finished eating, Liao Qing came back, and Xu Jiaojiao fried three more pancakes for him.

Xu Jiaojiao sent Erlang out to see Xu Darong, saying that Xu Darong should be back soon.

In the kitchen, Xu Jiaojiao and Liao Qing were talking.

"How's it going? Did my eldest brother get the money? Which store did it sell at?"

As long as she finds out which store it is and rescues the fourth child first, it won't be too late for her to inquire about it when she has time in the future.

Liao Qing ate the fragrant pancakes and said, "I don't know, your eldest brother didn't go to the store. He walked around on the street for a while when he went out. Then he went to Yinzhuang. Now he rushed home, and I followed him back.

, he should arrive soon."

Xu Jiaojiao was stunned.

Wandering around the streets?

Did he discover that Liao Qing was following him?

no!

impossible!

That should be to delay some time...

Then, I went to the Yinzhuang to get the silver.

What does this mean?

It means that the items should have been sold out long ago, and all the money has been deposited in the bank.

So why pay twenty taels in advance and have a balance of sixty taels and don't know when the settlement will be made? It's all nonsense.

Xu Jiaojiao felt confident.

Liao Qing was eating delicious pancakes when Xu Darong's voice came from outside.

"Old sister, I'm back."

Erlang's voice said, "Uncle, are you back? I'm in the kitchen, giving us pancakes to eat... Come in quickly."

"Auntie, uncle is back too. Please fry some more pancakes."

…

While talking, Xu Darong entered the kitchen.

When she saw Xu Jiaojiao pouring fried pancakes into the pan on the stove, as well as the two golden pancakes on the table that Liao Qing was eating, her face froze.

"Old girl, what's wrong with this? You never go into the kitchen at home and don't do any menial work. Why don't you ask your eldest brother to come back and help you with such work? You make pancakes by yourself. If your hands get burned, my mother will turn around.

You have to blame me."

"It's okay, I happened to be hungry. This is my eldest brother's home anyway, so I treat it as my own. I spent some money on pancakes, so don't feel bad for me, eldest brother."

Xu Darong returned to normal, "I don't feel bad, I don't feel bad. These things are all managed by the big girl, and I don't know what to eat or what at home. I just feel sorry for my little sister, watch her hands carefully."

"That's good, brother, Erlang and I have already eaten. I'll fry two more for you. You and Liao Qing can eat them together. You sit down first. By the way, have you got the money?" Xu Jiaojiao looked kind and kind.

smile.

Xu Darong suddenly looked embarrassed, "I got it, but..."

Xu Jiaojiao sizzled the pancake and put it into the pot, splashing a few drops of oil.

"But what? But there is a lack of deductions? Or something? It's okay. After we finish eating, we will go there to get it together. We won't go there with many people. Let Liao Qing and Erlang wait outside the store. I will go in with you. I

As a prostitute, it’s not like I’m going to make trouble. I’m just going to argue with them about the ways of the world. Our family is really in trouble, and life is at stake. Either they pay off the money, or we move away..."

Xu Darong coughed and said, "No, no, I've settled the matter, sixty taels a penny is quite a lot, but my eldest brother spent a lot of time to convince me to get here. Old girl, you don't know how many shopkeepers are doing business these days.

They are all those black-hearted people who can’t afford to go early without profit. It’s not easy to sell for eighty taels in this county. If I hadn’t been a talented scholar, I’m afraid the price of eighty taels could still be lower... Forget it, old man

Sister, let’s not talk anymore. We won’t talk about anything else until the money arrives.”

This is because he still wants to fool Xu Jiaojiao!

Xu Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Brother, it's really hard for you."

Xu Darong said shamelessly, "As a family, we should not use polite words."

"What about the banknotes?" Xu Jiaojiao looked at Xu Darong.

"Here." Xu Darong took out five banknotes with a denomination of 10 liang and two banknotes with a denomination of 50 liang. Everyone looked at them.

After reading it, I wanted to take it back.

Xu Jiaojiao reminded, "Brother, mother said, these banknotes are all mine, so you have to leave them to me for safekeeping. When Bingyang City needs the money, you can take them out."

Xu Darong said sternly, "Old girl, I am your eldest brother, and I am a man. There is a high chance that a man will come forward to do something. How can you do it if you don't have money in your hand? Just put these sixty taels in my hand, it will be easier to work on.

"

He also wanted to find a reason to get the ninety taels that Xu Jiaojiao had in hand.

She is a village girl who has never been out of the house. What does it mean to have so much money with her?

When you go out, you have to listen to men, only men are knowledgeable.

Xu Jiaojiao didn't force it, she still smiled and said, "That's alright. Then let me keep the accounts. Mother said, we should keep track of everything we do and how much money we use. Or maybe the eldest brother doesn't want to keep the accounts.

Just tell me and I will remember it."

This is a reminder to Xu Darong that the money he spends must have a name, be reasonable, have a source, and cannot spend illegal money.

She is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Xu Darong was surprised and said, "Old girl, can you keep accounts?"

To keep accounts, you need to know numbers and be able to calculate, which are all things the accounting gentlemen can do.

She was a village girl, but even if she learned a few words on her own from the books he brought back, she was already in trouble.

When will accounting be counted again?
