Chapter 12: The Benefactor
Xiaoshan first introduced himself and Heiya, and then Heiya also said hello to Steward Liu, and then said according to the two of them discussed before, "Our brother and sister happened to get some ta incense in the morning, which is said to be the latest formula in the capital, not only the smell is fragrant and unique, but also can strengthen the body and prolong life, the kid has been begging for life in the town all these years, knowing that Liufu is the most kind family, and the old lady Liu in the house is even more bodhisattva-hearted, the kid almost froze to death last winter, or the old lady sent hot porridge and jackets to live until now, so I got this incense, I hurriedly sent it to the old lady. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
What Xiaoshan said is the truth, last winter he fought with others, and the bun he brought was also robbed, his whole body was painful, tired and hungry, but he didn't want to suddenly cool down and snow heavily, he felt that there was no trace of heat in his whole body, or Mrs. Liu passed by and saw it, and asked someone to send him a bowl of hot porridge and a cotton jacket. He has always wanted to find an opportunity to repay the old man, so he heard that the black girl said that this incense is good for people's health, so he wanted to send it to the old lady. Although Liufu will definitely give him money, they can buy a good fragrance for body conditioning for a little silver, which is also very cost-effective.
You must know that this is made by the eldest sister with the ability given by the gods!
Steward Liu smiled after hearing this, "Let me see your incense." "The person who can be a housekeeper will naturally not be a fool, but looking at Xiaoshan's sincerity, it is not all here to please him, if the incense is really good, you might as well give them a chance.
Heiya hurriedly untied the veil and handed it over.
Steward Liu picked one up and took a closer look, and sniffed it again, it was not like any smell he had smelled before, and it seemed that this kid didn't talk nonsense. "This smell is good, but it's a little rougher, you can come in with me."
The two hurriedly followed into the house.
In fact, it is a two-entry yard, after all, this is just a small town, and the Liu family is not a rich family.
When they arrived at the gate of the outer courtyard, Steward Liu asked them to wait first, and it didn't take long for a girl to come out and call them in.
The two obediently followed into the wing room of the inner courtyard, but Steward Liu was not there, and an old lady with gray hair and plain clothes sat on the red lacquer carved chair.
"You two little clever ghosts, you want to coax me, an old woman, to buy your incense, don't you?" When the old lady saw them come in, she laughed and scolded with her crutches.
"The old lady doesn't remember, but Xiaoshan doesn't dare to forget, it snowed suddenly last winter, and if the old lady hadn't been kind enough to reward Xiaoshan with a jacket, I would have frozen to death that afternoon. This fragrant boy ordered one, although I don't understand it, I think it's really fragrant, and the heart that I want to give to the old lady to enjoy is also true, if you always think it's good, just give a few rewards, and the kid won't be pretentious, after all, the kid is now poor, and there is a family to raise. Later, if he got any rare good things, Xiaoshan would send them to the old lady. ”
After Xiaoshan finished speaking, he took a step back and knelt down for the old lady, "The old lady saved the boy's life, and she has been looking for an opportunity to kowtow to your old man, and today she finally got her wish." After saying that, he kowtowed to the old lady three times.
Heiya saw that the other party's age could be her grandmother, and saved her brother's life, so she knelt down and knocked a few times for her life, "Heiya, thank you for saving my brother." ”
"Hurry up." Mrs. Liu was walking over and holding Xiaoshan's hand to get him up, and when she saw the little girl kneeling down again, she hurriedly went over and dragged her, "Look at these two children sincerely, come and sit down, grandma will bring you cakes to eat." ”
Mrs. Liu also came over in a hard life, so naturally she didn't pay so much attention to it, and when she saw the two children being well-behaved and sensible, she also liked it in her heart, so she had to pull them to sit down, and one of them stuffed a piece of rice cake in her hand.
"Xiao Ye, you light the incense that the children brought," Mrs. Liu returned to her seat and sat down, and instructed the little girl at the door who had been covering her mouth and smiling. "I also smell the new fragrance from the capital."
"The slave and maid have been prepared for a long time, and the fire folds are all on their bodies." Xiao Ye smiled and took out the fire fold, and put the tower incense they brought in the ceramic tray and lit it.
As the smoke rose, the old lady showed an intoxicated look, "The front taste is mellow, the back taste is sweet, and there seems to be a trace of coolness in it, my wife and I am not an elegant person, I used to smell and smell it, but your fragrance is much stronger than what I have smelled before, and I feel very comfortable after smelling it." ”
"Incense is a good fragrance, and you two are also good children." The old lady instructed Xiao Ye to take some rice candy and put it on them, and touched a tael of silver and stuffed it to Xiao Shan, "Good boy, take the money to buy some delicious supplements, see that your brothers and sisters are both thin." ”
The two of them naturally thanked each other, said goodbye to Mrs. Liu, and let Xiao Ye take her out of the house.
"Brother, we have money." Heiya knew that the old lady had taken good care of them by giving them a tael of silver, and according to the price at this time, one tael of silver was equivalent to a thousand yuan in the previous life, which was already a lot. If all the corn is bought, it will be enough for their family to eat for half a year.
"Yes, Mrs. Liu is such a good person, I thought I would be satisfied if I could give a penny." It was the first time that Xiaoshan had touched the silver with his own hands, and he was as happy as if he was something, and kept putting it in his arms and taking it out, and then putting it in his arms and taking it out again.
"Shall we still buy soybeans?" The black girl asked after her, she was still carrying rice candy in her hand.
"Buy, let's see if this way to make money can be taken, if we can, we will be sure." Xiaoshan knows that no matter how much money there is, there will be a time when it will be spent, and only by finding a way to make money can he continue to make money.
"Let's go buy two catties of soybeans first, if we can squeeze oil, we will sell the oil and buy something to go home, if not, we will buy some other things and bring back with the beans."
"Brother, you're really thoughtful." Heiya praised sincerely, "What you just said in Liufu is also very good, I didn't know you were so good at saying it." ”
"It's natural to run too much outside, Mrs. Liu is a good person, I will definitely repay her when I have the opportunity in the future." Xiaoshan was praised by the eldest sister. Touching his head, embarrassed to say.
"Well, we all remember the people who have given us kindness." Heiya nodded emphatically, she liked that her brother was a person who knew how to repay his kindness.
Xiaoshan doesn't know how much oil can be produced by two catties of soybeans, but Heiya knows, the oil yield of soybeans is generally about 15 percent, and one pound of soybeans in this place is sixteen taels, and the two catties of soybeans can basically produce about five taels of oil, and the oil will basically have a residual oil rate, that is, there will always be a part of the oil left in the soybean cake, and their own abilities can be extracted all, there is no residual oil rate, if you calculate it this way, you can basically produce about six taels or seven taels of oil.
The two went to the grain and oil store to buy two catties of soybeans, and bought a jar of eight taels at the grocery store next to them, and by the way, the boss sent a piece of straw paper to pack things, and kept it for a while.
