42. Middle-aged fat man.
At noon, in Four Seasons County, the west side of Nanshi came to live, and in a luxurious room on the second floor, an old man in his fifties and sixties respectfully reported something to an obese middle-aged man about forty years old. If Huang Xiaoxiao saw the situation of these two people, he would definitely be surprised.
"Housekeeper, today I heard that a fragrance came from the kitchen of the natural home, which spread all over the whole Nanshi, and most of the people in the south city smelled it, as if it was a new dish developed by the natural home." The old man stood respectfully and said to the middle-aged fat man.
Hearing the old man's words, the middle-aged plate took a sip of tea and said, "Oh, is it a natural dwelling that we forced to raise my head?" Is the news true? Do you know what it is? It's so amazing that it can spread throughout the entire South City. "I asked several questions in a row.
"Well, yes, it's the natural home that we forced to live and can't take care of itself, but I don't know what kind of dish it is, and my subordinates also heard what they said on the street, saying that the people who rushed to the market all night smelled it on the way back, and their subordinates didn't smell it." The old man heard the middle-aged fat man's question and replied respectfully.
"Huh? I don't know? Heard about it on the street? Hehe, it seems that the shopkeeper Zhang has been living a good life recently, forgetting the order left by the master, he would answer such a thing. Hearing the old man's answer, the middle-aged fat man said slowly and angrily.
The middle-aged fat man's words frightened the old man and immediately knelt down, kowtowing and saying: "Butler, it's not like this, yes, yes, it's because I went to the market last night to buy goods, and I came back in the middle of the night, and I slept late, so I got up late today, and I did this to minimize some silver purchases, and strive to make more silver. Please be a steward. “
The old man's explanation and behavior did not impress the middle-aged fat man, who had no intention of getting the old man up at all, and was still waiting for the old man's explanation. "Moreover, the people in the natural residence did not say what the dish was, but because it happened that a few guys opened the door of the restaurant, and saw dozens of people watching and simply said that it was a new dish in their restaurant, because of the ingredients, it can only be made tomorrow, and it can only be made three times, and then it is closed, and the door has not been opened until now, and the subordinates just want to find out the news." Seeing that the middle-aged fat man was still indifferent, the old man continued to explain. "Okay, wouldn't it be better to tell the truth earlier? I have to find a decent excuse, a dignified shopkeeper said that the goods were purchased in the middle of the night, do you think I don't know that you were with Oiran in the welcome building last night? Or do you think I'm younger than you and easy to deceive? When the middle-aged fat man heard the old man's explanation, he knew that he couldn't be blamed entirely. In fact, on the way here, he had already found out the news, but he didn't say it.
When the old man heard the words of the middle-aged fat man, he regretted that he died, if he wasn't afraid that the middle-aged fat man would punish him for going to a brothel, he wouldn't have said such a bad excuse, and said with a flattering face: "Yes, yes, I can't escape the housekeeper's plan." "Okay, don't be a sycophant, if I hadn't seen your age and not have a daughter-in-law, you think I would sympathize with you? So easy to let you go? This time to give you a reminder, and next time, you will wait for the lord's guards to lead you to the old mansion and accept the house rules. Without further ado, hurry up and hand in this month's money and information. The middle-aged fat man saw that the old man was so old and so spineless, and said with a disgusted face.
When the old man heard this, he immediately got up from the ground, bowed to the middle-aged fat man and twisted it to a stone sculpture on the desk, and a door immediately appeared on a wall next to it, and the old man walked in along the door, and after a while, he took out a small wooden box and a few letters, and then put them on the desk, twisted the stone sculpture again to close the door, and handed the small wooden box and letter to the middle-aged fat man.
He said respectfully, "Butler, this is this month's information and silver. After speaking, he took out a piece of emerald jade from his arms, handed it to the middle-aged fat man and said: "Housekeeper, this is given to me by Master Li of Four Seasons County, you see that I am also old, and there is no occasion to wear it, so my subordinates will borrow flowers to send Buddha." ”
"Oh?" The middle-aged fat man took the jade, looked at it, nodded, hung it on his waist without saying anything, opened the small wooden box and looked at it and said with a smile: "Okay, it's not too early, I should go back too, although you are not very satisfied this month, but the overall is still relatively good, I won't tell Master Sù, next time you be careful." After saying that, he picked up the wooden box and walked out of the room, leaving the guest house.
The old man saw the middle-aged fat man disappear from his sight from the room on the second floor, and immediately his flattering face became darker and darker, and he said to himself; "Phew, I really thought I was a thing, if I hadn't grown up with my lord, my lord would have used you as a waste? Hum. After saying that, he went out of the room, locked the door, and inspected the restaurant. That's right, it's to inspect the restaurant, and the old man is the boss of the guest house.
Southwest outside the city of Four Seasons, Renjia Village.
In a room in a house that was mostly bamboo, a young man of twelve or thirteen years old had just woken up with a yawn. The young man glanced at the sky outside the window, stretched his waist and disappeared into the room, this young man was Ren Xiaoyao.
Ren Xiaoyao, who disappeared, came to the space in a flash. As soon as he entered the space, the appearance of the "ordinary ring" worn by Ren Xiaoyao's right hand flashed with a white light, and suddenly three huge camphor trees appeared, the circumference of the trunk could not be held by four or five people, from the root to the crown of the tree was at least twenty or thirty meters high, and there were purple berries on the tree.
Just woke up Ren Xiaoyao glanced out the window, saw the fruit trees in the yard, and found that the fruit trees planted in the yard had grown new leaves, remembering a few camphor trees dug on the road when he set off to catch the market, I was afraid that they would all die, after all, plants also have "life", although I knew that the ring had a shelf life, but it was a dead thing, so I immediately flashed into the space, ready to plant the camphor tree.
Ren Xiaoyao so many trees did not choose just the camphor tree, to be precise, it is a type of camphor tree in the Lauraceae camphor family, because the wood texture of the camphor tree is fine, flexible and dense, smooth and beautiful, containing volatile oil and special aroma, moisture resistance, anti-corrosion, insect removal, not easy to deform is a good wood for wood cars.
It is also a good material for furniture, construction, cabinets, carving, and shipbuilding. Roots, branches, leaves, wood can extract camphor, camphor oil, camphor oil for modern medicine, metallurgy, chemical industry, spices, food industry and military industry and other aspects of important raw materials, seeds can be squeezed oil, made of soap.
Ren Xiaoyao originally just wanted to find a random tree, but when he saw the camphor, he chose it, thinking that the characteristics of the camphor tree and the point of making soap were also there. Ren Xiaoyao has traveled through to the present, and the bath is still simply washed with clean water, and for the shower gel that is used to it, it feels like it is not washed when it is clean. He used soap for most of the planet because of his habits since childhood. And he can also make soap, which is why so many trees in Ren Xiaoyao do not choose camphor trees.
Because I left the orphanage, I had to work part-time while going to school to earn tuition. A piece of soap is only a few dollars, and you can use it as a shower gel by yourself, although I graduated from college and got a job, I don't care about this money, or most of the soap is used. When I was in school, in order to save a few dollars of soap money, I went to the school library to find materials to make soap by myself, and I learned that camphor trees could be refined to make zuò soap, but later because it was too troublesome, I found the materials and didn't do it.
Plant three camphor trees in the small yard of the space wooden house, because there is no other place to plant unless a few fruit trees are cut. Ren Xiaoyao didn't make soap and wooden carts right away, because now it's dark outside and he hasn't eaten for a day, Ren Shiting will definitely come in and call herself to eat at that time.
After planting the tree, Ren Xiaoyao took a bunch of grapes, walked slowly on the land of the space, and when he was about to walk to the orchard, he heard a knock on the door of the room outside the space.
