Chapter 70: pocket money

After going out that day, Lu Qingjiu originally thought that the dragon would find himself and tell him something, but for a long time, he did not hear from him again, only occasionally Baiyuehu said to him, Said that the dragon had escaped from Shuifu Village, and his breath was no longer around.
Lu Qingjiu thought a lot because of the word "go" written in the palm of his hand, but no matter how many guesses he had, no one gave him a satisfactory answer.
In the prime of spring, the trees in the yard were again covered with leaves, and the emerald green grape vines winded along the shelf, covering half of the sky in the yard, blocking the sun, casting a black shadow, but providing a place for cool summer in advance .
Yin Xun's birthday was one month later than Lu Sake, in mid-April. It is a peach blossom and flowing water mandarin fish fertilizer. April is the day when the peach blossoms are in full bloom and the mandarin fish is fat. In order to celebrate Yin Xun's birthday, Lu Qingjiu went to the town early to buy plump mandarin fish, as well as some dishes that are not often eaten, and the preparation is more troublesome. He planned to give Yin a grand birthday.
The cake must be made. This time Lu Qingjiu plans to make a durian mille. Before he came here, Yin Xun and Bai Yuehu had hardly eaten tropical fruits. Lu Qingjiu asked whether they liked durian or not. Yin Xun said seriously that he did not eat durian for two reasons.
"Which two?" Lu Qingjiu asked.
"One is because durian is more expensive." Yin Xun said sadly, "the other is because I am relatively poor."
Lu Qingjiu: "..." What kind of life does his poor son live.
Lu Qingjiu bought a whole durian and went home. He didn't lose the durian skin to stew the chicken. The peeled durian exuded a strong and unique fragrance. He casually fed a piece of the white moon fox standing nearby.
The white moon fox held the durian in his mouth and frowned slightly. Yin Xun also ate a small piece. His expression was similar to that of the white moon fox. They looked quite serious, and I didn't know if they liked it or not.
Lu Qingjiu said: "Do you like it?" After all, some people are not used to eating durian. They like it a lot, and don't want to touch the ones that don't.
"How much is a catty?" Yin Xun asked in a low voice.
Lu Qingjiu: "This one is more than five hundred."
Yin Xun's expression immediately changed: "Like! Give me something to eat!" This is not a bad smell at all, this is the aroma of RMB.
Lu Qingjiu showed helplessness. If he doesn't like it, don't force it. He can make a layer cake with a different taste. Mango is actually good...
But after hearing the price of durian, Yin Xun and Bai Yuehu both said with a serious face that they had never eaten such delicious fruits before, and they were dumbfounded by the Lu Qing wine.
The ten chickens bought in the yard last year turned into twelve. Because I ate a lot of them, Lu Qingjiu planned the menu. I felt that the stewed chicken was a bit tired, so I just made the white chicken. There are also sweet and sour pork ribs and sauerkraut fish that Yin Xun likes. You can cook as much as you can. Anyway, there is a white moon fox at home, so I am not afraid that the extra dishes will be exhausted.
Lu Qingjiu was about to call Baiyuehu to pick up some fresh vegetables from the field, but he heard the sound of a car engine coming from the door. It seemed that someone had parked the car at their door.
Sure enough, after a while, there was a knock on the door in the courtyard. Lu Qingjiu went to open the door, but he saw Jiufeng, who hadn't seen him for a long time, standing at the door and looking at him with a smile.
"Sake, long time no see." Jiufeng eagerly greeted Lu Sake. The eight head-like necklaces still hung on her neck. As soon as she finished greeting, the eight heads rushed to greet Lu Sake. .
"Long time no see." Lu Qingjiu noticed that behind Jiufeng stood a tall man wearing a black mask with only one pair of eyes, "What's the matter?"
"Is the Baiyue Fox at home?" Jiufeng asked.
"He went down to the ground." Lu Qingjiu said, "I guess he will be back in a while." He had a good impression of the girl Jiufeng, so he paused and asked, "Are you going in and waiting for him?"
"Okay." Jiufeng nodded happily, then turned and pointed to the man standing behind him, "This is Shaohao, and I have something to do with Bai Yuehu."
Lu Qingjiu understood the name Shaohao as soon as he heard the name Shaohao. There is such a in the Shanhaijing, whose full name is Baidi Shaohao. It is said that when he was born, the five phoenixes were flying in the sky, and they could manage hundreds of birds. The beasts, all covered with beautiful patterns, are very romantic gods.
"You are Lu Qing Bar." Shaohao's voice was very gentle, and he seemed to be a good-tempered person. He walked up to Jiufeng and reached out to Lu Qingjiu: "Jiu Yang."
Lu Qingjiu was used to the fact that he was "heard", stretched out his hand and shook Shaohao's hand, greeted the two of them into the yard.
There was still something in the pot that could not be separated from people. Lu Qingjiu asked Yin Xun to take some snacks for the two of them, and he went back to the kitchen.
"What are they doing at our house?" Yin Xun has always been wary of strangers.
"I don't know." Lu Qingjiu said, "it seems to be looking for Baiyue Fox."
Yin Xun snorted and brought out the snacks to the two people.
Some of these snacks were bought in the town, and some were made by Lu Qingjiu himself. They tasted very good. Jiufeng swallowed the snacks when he saw the snacks, and he was not polite. He stretched out his hand and started eating, and said to Shaohao: "You taste it, it's delicious."
Shaohao hesitated slightly when he heard the words, but seeing Jiufeng eating so happily, he reached out and took off the mask from his face. After taking off the mask, Yin Xun found that the lower part of the man’s face was embroidered with black patterns, which almost covered half of his face. These patterns are very exquisite, but embroidered on his face inexplicably makes people in front of him Somewhat treacherous temperament.
Yin Xun didn't dare to look more, put the snacks down and turned around and left.
Shaohao looked at his back and asked: "Is he a mountain god?"
"Yes." Jiufeng crunched the dried sweet potatoes dried in Lu Sake, and said with a contented face, "It's very fragrant, right? It smells like meat ganoderma... If you can eat it, it would be great." It's a pity that there is Baiyue. The fox stared.
Shaohao smiled and said, "If you eat him, Bai Yuehu can also add another meal." Jiufeng ate Yin Xun, and Bai Yuehu probably won't let him go.
Jiufeng blinked, "Isn't this not eating."
Shaohao took a bite of dried sweet potatoes and ignored Jiufeng.
When Bai Yuehu came back from the field, he brought a lot of vegetables. He wore a straw hat on his head and rubber boots on his feet. How do you think he looked like a farm boy? After he entered the yard, he saw two guests sitting in the yard, and did not say hello, but went into the kitchen and handed the dishes to Lu Qingjiu.
"Your friend is looking for you." Lu Qingjiu said.
"Yeah." Bai Yuehu was very cold.
"They come to see you, should something be okay? I'll come in the kitchen. You can accompany them." Lu Qingjiu said.
Bai Yuehu nodded, turned and went out.
It’s just that Bai Yuehu’s expression is a bit wrong, Lu Qingjiu finds it a little strange. He has a long mind. When washing vegetables, he walked to a position near the window. This window is facing the yard, and standing inside can vaguely hear the yard. The voice of several people talking.
"Yuehu, long time no see." Shaohao said.
Bai Yuehu sat down directly opposite Shaohao: "What's the matter?"
Shaohao said: "There is something here, do you want to take it?"
White Moon Fox: "No answer."
Shaohao seemed a little surprised when he heard that Bai Yuehu refused so decisively. He said: "The price is quite high, really not picking up?"
"No." Baiyuehu said, "I won't use it to find me anymore."
Shaohao: "...really not going?" He sat up straight, and looked at Baiyue Fox with incredible eyes, "It's not like you."
The white moon fox raised his chin slightly, with a slightly proud expression: "No need."
Jiufeng whispered next to him, "I said he is doing well now. If you can't invite him, you still don't believe me."
She ate two sweet potato chips again, weeping in sorrow, "Where is it like me, there is one meal and no meal, and the last meal is not the next."
Shaohao looked at the kitchen with a weird expression, and Lu Qingjiu quickly shrank aside, but he still felt like he was seen. The conversation between these people is very strange. Why did Shaohao come to find Bai Yuehu? How does this sound like seduce your child to go out to work? The more Lu Qingjiu thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and his ears were pointed, for fear of missing something.
"You don't need to look for me anymore," Bai Yuehu said, "I won't do it."
Shaohao said: "Your living standard has risen sharply, do you think this will work, I'll add 500 yuan to you..."
White Moon Fox: "Five hundred?"
Shaohao: "Enough for you to eat Xiaolongbao."
Lu Qingjiu who eavesdropped in the back was in a particularly complicated mood. What is five hundred yuan? What Shaohao wants to take Baiyuehu to do? Give Baiyuehu five hundred. Is his family's fox five hundred yuan, please? Five hundred, don't even think about five thousand.
But obviously, Bai Yuehu's brain circuit is not the same as Lu Qingjiu's, and Lu Qingjiu felt hesitated from his silence. Lu Qingjiu couldn't believe it, his little farmer was bewitched by 500 yuan!
"Go?" Shaohao asked again, chewing on the nuts.
Bai Yuehu said: "I think about it."
Lu Qingjiu couldn't listen anymore. He put the food in his hand and walked out of the kitchen aggressively, and smirked at the three people chatting in the courtyard: "What are you talking about?"
"He asked me to do something." Bai Yuehu was quite frank.
"What are you doing?" Lu Qingjiu couldn't think of anything that he could get Baiyuehu for five hundred yuan.
Shaohao saw Lu Qingjiu's look like a baby-protecting boy, but he laughed: "Don't worry, I just ask him to help me eat something."
"What to eat?" Lu Qingjiu looked suspiciously like a parent who saw his child being abducted.
"There is a group of animals named Youying in my territory." Shaohao said, "I have been hunting and killing the birds I raised. Because there are too many, it is troublesome to clean up, so I want Baiyue Fox to help. "
Lu Qingjiu said: "How much do you give?"
Shaohao said: "Usually give one thousand at a time, but this time add five hundred more." So it's fifteen thousand.
Lu Qingjiu said: "Fifteen thousand? Is this You Ying delicious?" He asked Baiyue Fox.
Bai Yuehu shook his head: "It's terrible."
Lu Qingjiu: "How does it compare with the corpse of the Yushi concubine?"
Baiyue Fox thought for a moment: "Slightly better." He paused for a moment and added, "At least the meat is soft."
Lu Qingjiu showed affection and affection at Baiyue Fox, what life does his family of foxes live by...
Shaohao has clearly seen the fact that Lu Qingjiu is the owner of Baiyue Fox, and he has no choice but to spread his hands: "Well, I know you won't let him pick it up, but at least let me have lunch."
Lu Qingjiu said: "Okay, today is Yin Xun's birthday. You and Jiufeng can stay for dinner."
Jiufeng happily started arguing with his other eight heads again, until he irritated the white moon fox, he was unwilling to quiet down.
After Shaohao ate some snacks, he stopped and put on the mask again.
Yin Xun asked curiously if these patterns were tattooed by himself, Shaohao shook his head: "No, I was born with it. Some people were scared when they saw it, and I covered it."
Unlike Bai Yuehu and Jiufeng, who are completely far away from the crowd, Shaohao seems to be living in human society, and Lu Qingjiu also noticed that the car he drove to the door was a Porsche supercar. The car parked in front of their house is incompatible with their simple style.
But this made Lu Qingjiu a little curious about why some mythological creatures can be integrated into human society, but some are not. After he asked his own question, Shaohao smiled and said, "Because those creatures follow in the myth. People live together, or are people themselves."
Lu Qingjiu said: "So if it is not a mythical creature close to people, it can't be integrated into human society?"
Shaohao: "Um...you can't say that." He took Baiyuehu to give an example, "For example, if Baiyuehu wants to work in human society, then the energy he expended is not enough for what he earns back. ."
Lu Qingjiu said: "That's because he didn't find the right way of working..." With the beautiful face of Baiyuehu, it is more than enough to be a vase star. Even if you don't act in a show, you should still take hard photos and so on. popular.
"There's no way." Shaohao spread his hands. "He doesn't have an ID card, no household registration, and no education..." Seeing that Bai Yuehu's expression became more and more gloomy, Shaohao quickly added, "Of course, these Things are not very important either."
Bai Yuehu didn't speak, picked up a dried sweet potato and snapped it off with a click.
Shaohao laughed awkwardly, feeling that his neck was a little cold, he was really a little floating, that is, when Lu Qingjiu was present, Bai Yuehu didn't dare to go wild, and then he made a fuss.
Lu Qingjiu felt sad the more he listened, how much grievance his family vixen has suffered over the years. Before, he couldn't even buy the seeds for growing vegetables. When he passed by the bun shop, he could only his saliva and endure it. Thinking about it this way, a father-like compassion was born in his heart immediately, and he wished to hold Bai Yuehu into his arms and touch his head to tell him that everything has a father.
Although Shaohao didn't invite Bai Yuehu, he managed to get a lunch, which seemed quite contented.
After Lu Qingjiu told Bai Yuehu to refuse Shaohao's invitation, he entered the kitchen with confidence and burned the remaining dishes.
It has been a long time since Yin Xun had his birthday, and tears filled his eyes when the cake came up. Lu Qingjiu put the paper-shell crown made in advance on Yin Xun's head, and lit candles on the cake. Several people sang a birthday song to him.
Yin Xun was crying there, thanking Lu Qingjiu for giving him the opportunity to be a new man.
Lu Qingjiu: "..." Forget it, don't worry about children.
The cake was made of durian layer. Lu Qingjiu made it last night. It was frozen in the refrigerator. At this moment, I took it out and cut it into several pieces, waiting for Yin Xun to blow out the candles before giving it to everyone. This mullet is very successful and looks good. The cream has a sauce made of durian and has a rich flavor.
After eating the cake as an appetizer, the next is a table of dinner. Chicken, duck and fish have everything they need, and Lu Qingjiu has cooked all the dishes that Yin Xun likes to eat.
Shaohao took a sip of the dish made with Lu sake, showing a stunning expression: "Good craftsmanship."
Lu Qingjiu was a little embarrassed: "It's all the fragrant vegetables grown by the white moon fox, and this is the meat of the onion and deaf, just fry it and it will be very fragrant."
Shaohao smiled and said, "You are too modest."
Lu Qingjiu didn’t speak any more. Anyway, he really felt that his craftsmanship was very ordinary, mainly because he had nothing else to do. All his energy was devoted to eating. With special ingredients, it tasted better than ordinary food. normal.
Jiufeng and Baiyuehu didn't say a word during the whole process, and they seemed to be fighting.
Shaohao's appetite is similar to that of humans, and he almost put down his chopsticks with Lu Qingjiu. Lu Qingjiu was a little surprised: "You don't want to eat anymore?"
"I'm full." Shaohao wiped his mouth, "If you have time, come to my bird garden to play."
Lu Qingjiu answered, "Okay."
After eating and drinking, Yin Xun touched his belly and said that he could no longer eat, and collapsed into a piece of cake on the chair. Shaohao sat beside and looked at Yin Xun. Lu Qingjiu noticed that Shaohao seemed to be very interested in Yin Xun from the moment he walked in. Yin Xun was so nervous that he didn't realize it at all.
"Is he special?" Lu Qingjiu asked.
Shaohao realized that Lu Qingjiu was asking himself, and laughed: "No, I just think the aroma on him is very attractive."
Yin Xun, who was already limp and about to fall asleep, woke up immediately when he heard this. He was not so narcissistic that he would feel that Shaohao meant something else to him. As a pile of human-shaped snacks, he clearly realized that he was in the food chain. At the bottom of the cruel reality, this Shaohao praised him for his attractive fragrance, which was basically equivalent to praise him for his deliciousness.
Lu Qingjiu said: "Have you eaten meat ganoderma?"
Shaohao said: "I've eaten it." He licked his lips, "It tastes good." He said and smiled at Yin Xun. Although the smile was gentle, it made Yin Xun's nervous eyes round.
Lu Qingjiu said, "He is my friend, so don't worry about it and eat something else."
Shaohao said: "Okay."
The topic was over. Shaohao, who was full, and Jiufeng, who were still eager to eat, got up to say goodbye. Lu Qingjiu watched the two walk to the door, got on the sports car and disappeared into the village, before turning back home.
Yin Xun saw that Shaohao was gone, saying that this person was really human-faced and beast-hearted, and he actually discussed in front of the parties that they were delicious...
Lu Qingjiu thought it was a little funny, but afraid that Yin Xun would not laugh out of anger, he reached out and patted his stupid son on the shoulder.
After Bai Yuehu had eaten enough, he went to lie down in the yard. Lu Qingjiu remembered something, went to the room and took his coat, and then called Yin Xun to the yard.
"I decided to give you some pocket money." Lu Qingjiu took out his wallet from his coat, thinking that his vixen and small mountain gods are so big, he must have some pocket money, otherwise he suddenly came to Shaohao What should I do if I deceive the two of them for five hundred yuan? He usually buys things by himself, and he didn't notice it for a while, but Shaohao reminded Lu Qingjiu.
"Money, why do you want to give us money?" Yin Xun looked at Lu Qingjiu blankly, obviously not understanding why Lu Qingjiu raised this matter suddenly.
Lu Qingjiu said: "You can buy snacks if you save money, or other things you want to buy. The conditions in our house are very good now. You can't finish eating, so you can buy whatever you want and don't save." To be able to live such a life, I really have to thank the lady ghost in the backyard, the lady ghost really paid so much for this family...
Yin Xun wanted to say something, but seeing Lu Qingjiu's resolute attitude, he no longer insisted on his opinion.
Baiyue Fox originally wanted to refuse, but Lu Sake's solemn expression still didn't say what he said.
Lu Qingjiu said, "If you don't have enough pocket money for 2,000 per month, you can ask me for it. You are not allowed to go out to pick up jobs - Shaohao must tell me first before picking up the job." He said earnestly. "Don't be fooled by five hundred yuan."
The white moon fox hesitated to speak but stopped.
Lu Qingjiu ignored him and took out a wad of money from his wallet. Then he counted two thousand yuan and stuffed a wad for each of them.
Yin Xun looked at so many red renminbi, his palms trembled slightly, and said, "This is too much..." He has never seen so much money. He usually pays by Lu Qingjiu, and he does not buy more than one hundred yuan. To buy large items, just swipe the QR code of your mobile phone.
White Moon Fox looked solemnly: "Yes, too many."
Lu Qingjiu sighed: "Take it!" He couldn't see that his family was wronged, and Shaohao had to eat the mud for a thousand and five white moon foxes, which made him completely unacceptable. His vixen is so cute and furry, how can he let him do such a rough job!
Although Yin Xun and Bai Yuehu expressed discomfort with the huge sum of money, they finally accepted the money under Lu Qingjiu's insistence. Yin Xun said that he wanted to deposit it in the bank card, but because Bai Yuehu did not have an ID card, he touched an old jar from the sundries room, washed the jar, counted the money carefully, and then stuffed it carefully. Got inside.
Lu Qingjiu said, "By the way, Yuehu, even if you don't have an ID card, you should be able to make money in other ways." In his impression, the dragon is a representative of wealth, and how poor is it like Baiyuehu Can't afford to eat steamed buns.
Bai Yuehu said: "I can't make money directly from humans."
Lu Qingjiu: "Why?"
White Moon Fox: "I will be hungry."
Lu Qingjiu was at a loss.
"The more you earn, the more hungry you will be." Baiyuehu slowly explained, "It's better to do nothing." Before Lu Qingjiu came, he was hungry almost day and night. The food cooked by humans. It will contain popularity and is a good food to satisfy hunger, but he has no money and can't buy it, so he can only eat mythical creatures such as rayfish to satisfy his hunger.
Lu Qingjiu said: "Then I'll give you money, are you hungry?"
White Moon Fox shook his head.
Lu Qingjiu was relieved now. He looked at Bai Yuehu with pity and thought about how these two people survived without his own life. He must treat them well and give them the warmest paternal love... Bah , Is friendship.
