Chapter 15 Borrowing three liters of grain

On the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, Li Luo and Cui Xiuning came to this fourth day of time and space.

The two of them had no food. Today Li Luo had to buy the food back. Cui Xiuning saw Li Luo going out with the "four major copper coins" in his arms, and quickly told him not to forget to buy paper. Then she was not idle either and began to use a hatchet to dig out the grassroots in the yard.

The fox came out lazyly, staring at Cui Xiuning with his long narrow eyes, and finally she became angry.

"No more! I haven't eaten yet! Let's see if I peel you and eat meat!"

The fox was disappointed, dragged his bulky body and staggered into the threshold.

Cui Xiuning digged up her grass roots for an hour, her stomach was ginger, her stomach was sore, and her head was a little dizzy. After all, I ate half a liter of wheat yesterday, and I haven't eaten anything today.

Looking at this dilapidated and desolate courtyard, Cui Xiuning suddenly slashed on the ground with a hatchet.

I just graduated from the police academy for four years and had not handled a decent case well or had a good relationship. I came to this ghost place, this ghost era.

God, it might be better if you let me die in the line of duty, so you shouldn't have treated me like this.

Others are traveling through time to become princesses, or they are also ladies. You actually made me have no food to eat and have a life with a fugitive all day.

Very angry!

I am a policewoman, dressed like a refugee, and I can’t even eat enough to eat and have no room to take a bath. What I can’t bear is… I wipe my butt with snow.

Damn it!

Li Luo, you are all scumbags, you are a traitor! Why didn’t you let me catch me back? You’re so trash! I’ve killed you.

Cui Xiuning became more and more angry as she thought about it. She suddenly stood up, slashed out with a hatchet, and then whipped her legs, turned around and slashed her hatchet. She actually practiced a set of sword techniques.

Li Luo had just come back at this time. He was standing at the gate of the yard with the things he had purchased. He happened to see Cui Xiuning playing with his sword.

Wearing a big jacket and playing with hatchet, it’s awesome.

This girl is a criminal policeman and comes from a police family. It is normal for her to do sword technique. Her sword technique must be beautiful enough, and she can't say she doesn't have any skills, but she is still a little bit arrogant after all.

The aesthetics of the sword art of the Brave Cao is far inferior to her, but in terms of simplicity, directness, skill and ruthlessness, it is much stronger. If the two fight for swords, Cui Xiuning will probably die.

After almost a set of sword techniques, Cui Xiuning suddenly turned around and slashed Li Luoxu. She had already discovered that Li Luo was back.

"What do you think?" Choi Xiuning asked with her hatchet down.

"He is heroic and domineering, and he looks pretty." Li Luo carried his things into the yard.

"What does it mean? Do you think it's a fancy way, right?"

"I didn't say it, I just thought it was tall and outstanding."

"If you fight with that soldier, who do you think will win?"

"He won't lose."

"I'll die? Okay. Why don't we go through a few times? Don't worry, I'm responsible."

"I won't fight you."

"It's boring. How many things have you bought? How many texts have you exchanged for the four major copper coins?"

"It turns out that a large copper coin can be exchanged for 70 cents. Song Shouye gave me face and exchanged it for me in total 300 cents. He bought 5 liters of white rice, 5 liters of wheat, 5 liters of beans, one or two salt, and a knife of yellow paper, and it cost a total of 290 cents."

"That is to say, we only have 13 cents left, and we still have to buy firewood. These fifteen liters of grain are only enough to eat for half a month, so we will definitely not be able to spend the New Year. How much does yellow paper cost?"

"Thirty words, there are only a dozen pieces. Boss Song asked if he was writing a credit. I said it was used as toilet paper, which scared him. Whatever he said, it was true that the children of aristocratic families were different."

"It's just yellow paper, is it so luxurious to make toilet paper?"

"Why aren't it extravagant? Look at the quality of this paper, although it is not bad, it is only 16 yuan in size. You have to use at least two pieces at a time, right? It's 6 cents. If a family of five people calculates, it's 30 cents a day, and just wiping their butts will cost 10 cents a year! The villagers' family earns a full year. What's not luxury? There are no machines in this era, and paper is all made by hand, so it's strange that it's not expensive."

"Then I'll just use it alone, save money."

"Where is me?"

"You are a man, just use snow lumps. Apart from being too cold, there is nothing wrong with it."

Li Luo: "..."

At noon, the two of them cooked half a liter of white rice porridge and were satisfied. The porridge made from brown rice in ancient times was so delicious. It was much more beautiful than chewed wheat, and even Cui Xiuning drank three bamboo tubes.

Although Cui Xiuning scolded the female fox in the morning, she gave it the last little porridge for her sake.

Li Luo knew that such a thing was impossible to happen in the villagers' homes. After all, Cui Xiuning, including himself, still has not changed the inertia of modern people, and he is still a rich man in his bones.

Just as the female fox was licking the porridge happily, a voice suddenly came from the yard: "Is Mr. Li at home?" Hearing the accent, a Korean man.

"What did he shout?" Choi Soo-ning didn't understand Korean, let alone ancient Korean.

"A neighbor has come and asked me if I'm at home." Li Luo left the house and saw three people coming to the yard.

A man with a pale face and skinny face was bent over, wearing bloomers and smiling face.

There is also a woman wearing Goryeo "Zegaoli", with a sallow complexion and a large pottery bowl in her hands.

The last one was a little boy of six or seven years old, with a runny nose and his eyes looked very big because he was too thin.

"Is there anything wrong with Brother Min? Come in quickly, it's cold outside." Li Luo recognized that this was the man from the Min family living opposite. He had talked to him on the road before.

The man from the Min family nodded repeatedly, "It's really disturbing Li Langjun, Simida." He was one of the villagers who heard that Li Luo was a child of a noble family, so he was very respectful.

When the three of them entered the room, the Min family's wife saw Cui Xiuning and exaggeratedly shouted: "Oh, there is such a fairy-like person. Madam Li, you are the lady of everyone, Simida!" She said and bent over.

Although Cui Xiuning couldn't understand what she said, she knew it was a compliment, so she had to smile politely and nodded back, thinking to herself: What's the matter? It's not just a charity of Qiufeng, right?

The man from the Min family said, "I know that Li Langjun is in trouble here, so I must not have prepared kimchi for winter, right? So I send you some tastes, and you will get tired of eating only food every day."

The lady of the Min family held a large pottery bowl in both hands and said to Li Luo in a respectful manner: "Please accept Simida!"

Li Luo is already fluent in ancient Korean now. He could not have thought that the other party was so polite, and said uncomfortable: "Brother Min is so polite, why are you so embarrassed?"

Cui Xiuning didn't know what the other party gave, so she could only wave her hand and refuse with a polite smile.

The owner of the Min family said proudly: "I heard that although Li Langjun is a young man from the Goryeo family, he was born and raised in the Central Plains. He must rarely eat authentic kimchi in his hometown, right? Our kimchi in Korea is not good things in the Central Plains! Many rich people in the Central Plains can't eat it!"

Li Luo is a black thread. It turns out that the narcissism of the Bangzi Kingdom is a gene. The Koreans and their descendants are really the same as the same urinary sex, and the same kimchi is so high-end.

At this time, the Min family finally discovered the fox. Seeing the fox eating white rice porridge, the eyes of the few people were straightened.

"This is a fox!"

"Does it eat white rice porridge? This..."

The man from the Min family immediately reacted, "Oh, Li Langjun is really different from us farmers. Even if he is in trouble, the foxes at home will eat white rice!"

Li Luo didn't know what the other party was about, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Min just say anything."

"The villain mainly came to give Li Langjun some kimchi Simida, but, but..." The man from the Min family stuttered a little.

Seeing that he was speechless, the lady of the Min family became anxious and simply continued: "But the food in the family is almost gone, and the child is too hungry, so she is afraid that the wind will be blown away."

As he said that, he pulled the little boy over and showed it, "Miss Li, look at this little boy, he is too hungry."

Li Luo was speechless and said perfunctorily: "Sure enough, everyone is short of food. How many buckets of food do you have in your family?"

"Oh!" the lady of the Min family exaggeratedly, "Where are there any buckets of grain? There are only a few liters! A pot of porridge can only put a handful of wheat, and it looks like it is full of vegetable leaves!"

"Yes, Li Langjun, people are not cows and sheep, how can they just eat vegetables and leaves? Adults can still bear it. The little boy is so hungry." The man from the Min family said, and pulled the child from the wife of the Min family and showed it to Li Luo again, "Please see, Li Langjun, the little boy is like a skinny monkey, with only bones left."

This time it was Li Luo's turn to stutter, "This, this..."

The man from the Min family immediately grabbed the little boy's arm and scolded him: "Will you not speak when you see a noble man like Li Langjun?"

The little boy pouted his mouth and sniffed his nose, "Li, Li Langjun, please lend us a bucket of food, Li Langjun..." Then he stopped talking and frowned and thought bitterly.

The man from Min's family was anxious and exerted his strength with both hands. The little boy who was pinched and hurt immediately remembered the following words: "When I get the food next summer, I will return it to Li Langjun!"

The man from the Min family said angrily: "You bastard, who told you to tell the noble man this? Go back and beat you to death!"

The lady of the Min family immediately grabbed the little guy's ear and said, "Even if you starve to death, you can't make things difficult for Li Langjun!"

Li Luo stared at him. He didn't expect that the Min family would come to perform this drama. What is this?

But he was still defeated.

Forget it, take a few liters of grain for purifying.

Cui Xiuning had been uneasy for a long time. She couldn't understand it, but it didn't mean she couldn't understand it. But how could she refuse? After refusing, she looked up and saw her. Wouldn't it be embarrassing between the neighbors?

Li Luo shook his head and said, "You don't have to pay it back. But there is really no food in one bucket. At most, three liters will be given to you to replenish your children's bodies."

Even though he knew that the other party was "seeking money everywhere", he had to "repay money while sitting on the ground".

The three of the Min family immediately showed joy and complimented Li Luo and Cui Xiuning for a while. In the end, Li Luo gave two liters of wheat, one liter and a hundred meters, and finally sent them away.
