Lu Sheng asked the two babies to stay at home, and she was going to the village to cut some pork belly and come back.
Under the row of big trees at the head of Liuyue Village, there are quite a few people selling things, such as vegetables, tofu, and meat.
When she arrived at the village, she found that besides pork, there was someone selling beef nearby.
This is an era that emphasizes agriculture and suppresses commerce. Here, cattle cannot be killed casually.
If the cattle in the family died, they had to report to the government office before they could be sold.
Of course, there are also beef sellers in the market, but not many.
"Auntie, how do you sell this beef?"
The beef seller was a woman in her forties, her face looked strange, she didn't look like someone from Liuyue Village.
Seeing someone asking, the woman quickly explained: "Girl, I forgot to look at this cow. It was entangled in water plants when it entered the water and drowned alive. Don't worry, it has been reported to the Yamen. If you want, I'll give you twenty cents a catty."
Twenty Wen a catty, it seems that what is sold in the market is thirty Wen a catty.
Lu Yao and Lu Xin were too thin, so she had to sell two beef bones to cook soup for them to increase their nutrition.
"How do you sell this beef bone and steak?" she asked.
The woman: "If you want this beef bone, it costs two yuan for five yuan, and this steak is ten yuan for a catty."
Lu Sheng nodded, took a steak, bought two bones, and finally, took another twenty catties of beef, ready to make some beef jerky.
In the end, it cost six hundred Wen.
She went next door to cut two catties of pork belly, and bought some vegetables and tofu, and then went home with her things.
"Is the Lu family well-developed? They just spent a few hundred cash all at once, without even blinking."
A few village women on the side were dumbfounded.
Mrs. Lizheng, who was buying tofu at the side, heard the words and explained quietly: "This Mrs. Liu has always been frugal. After all these years, he can save twenty or thirty taels, and there are still six hundred cash."
Hearing what she said, the others didn't say anything.
In the past, when Mrs. Liu was here, he didn't dare to cut more than two pieces of meat.
It's better now, she has only been in prison for a few days, and Lu Sheng spent more than 600 cash all at once.
If she were to find out, I don't know if she would die of anger directly in the prison.
Before Lu Sheng got home with his things, he heard a familiar cry coming from the Lu family from a distance.
She frowned, and quickly hurried home.
"Anyway, your parents won't be able to leave, and you have no one to take care of you. My cousin found a good family for you. You should be happy."
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Lu Sheng saw Lu Daming, Mrs. Zheng, and several uniformly dressed people in the courtyard.
One of them also dragged the landing paddle out.
Lu Sheng kicked open the courtyard door, attracting everyone's attention.
Lu Daming and Zheng's eyes lit up when they saw what she was holding.
"Yo, Miss Sheng is back?" Mrs. Zheng stepped forward and said with a smile: "It's just in time for you to come back. Your cousin is going to sell this little bastard, Lu Yao, for ten taels of silver."
Lu Sheng put the things on the pile of firewood beside him, turned his head, looked at the person pulling the paddle expressionlessly, and said coldly, "Let him go."
"Second Sister! They... They want to take my brother away!"
Lu Xin ran over, hugged Lu Sheng's leg and complained pitifully.
The man said coldly: "They have collected the money, we are only responsible for coming to get people."
"them?"
Lu Sheng glanced at Lu Daming and Liu Shi, and sneered: "What are they? In terms of relationship, they are separated by several layers of belly. What right do you have to sell my brother?"
Lu Daming's face darkened, and he said displeasedly: "Lu Sheng, don't forget, he is the son of the enemy who killed your mother."
