Chapter 60
"Could it be that you have been cheated?" I can't help but be curious.
Looking at Langya's words like this, it is obvious that he has experienced it himself!
Hmm, if Langya was cheated by a mortal, what kind of expression would he have?
After waiting for a long time, Langya only gave a faint hum, and then there was no follow-up.
That's it?
I was bored and asked him again, "What is that thing?" ”
"Something that weighs silver. There is a black-hearted bank, and ten pieces of silver will weigh you only eight dollars, and you will get the benefit of two pieces of silver for nothing. ”
Oh, isn't that just a scale?
I heard Fei Yan say that this is what the shops that sell rice and noodles in the world use. Fei Yan's father once did wood work for people in a rice noodle shop in the world, took care of the food every day, and also gave two catties of white noodles for wages. I was curious, so I begged Fei Yan's father to give me a rough shape.
The black-haired old fox also said that when the husband and wife in the world get married, the bride will take a weighing stone to sit in a sedan chair to the groom's house, and then, the groom official picks up the bride's hijab with a weighing rod, and then ties the weighing stone to the weighing pole with a red rope, and then rests it on the beam of the new house until the husband and wife are old. In this way, the scales are not separated from the stone, and the long-term beauty of the husband and wife.
It's just that since this thing is also used to weigh things, why bother to change its name to a different name?
Is it to highlight the value of silver? Even the name of the scale used is different!
Mortals are really interesting.
I sighed as I untied the rope that tied the brocade bag, and my eyes widened - a bag full of small ingots the size of a finger was proudly shimmering with a pale golden soft light.
--------------------------------
When I returned to Aunt Zhen's house with my money bag in my hand, my head was still dizzy. When I entered the house through the window, sat on the bed and touched the bag of ingots one by one, I couldn't help laughing.
Counting the bag of loose silver and copper plates that Langya threw at me when he returned, I rolled happily on the bed—now Ben Fox no longer has to go hungry!
The door of the building on the opposite side suddenly rang, and then there was the sound of Zhang Li's vain footsteps, and he dragged towards the stove. After a while, there was the sound of adding water and firewood to the stove - was this going to be breakfast?
Looking out the window, the sky was already gray and starting to shine.
I leaned back and fell into bed and fell into a deep sleep.
By the time I woke up, it was already three days old.
I got up from the bed unkempt, and I heard Zhang Li's tired and happy voice in the courtyard: "Blossom first and then bear fruit, and my granddaughter is also my heart." Yesterday, I was thanks to everyone's help, and when the child is 100 years old, I must come to drink a glass of water and wine, and our aunt is still waiting to thank you in person. ”
"Definitely, definitely! Indispensable! ”
"Yes! There's a time when you break the bank! ”
A group of voices were talking noisily, and gradually dispersed.
Hearing that it was quiet outside, I gently opened the door a crack, poked my head out and looked into the courtyard, and saw Zhang Li knocking on his waist and walking into the stove room. Hearing the knock on the door, Zhang Li turned his head to look over, and when he saw that it was me, he hurriedly turned around and greeted him, saying, "The girl is awake!" I thought that if the girl didn't wake up, she wouldn't be able to get on the boat today. ”
"When does the boat leave?"
I hurriedly came out of the house and asked.
"Don't be in a hurry, it's going to take more than half an hour. The boat had just come back from the early riser, and the boat holder had to rest for a while before he could make the next trip. The girl washes her face first, and the warm rice on the stove is just in the mouth, and I will serve it to you. ”
I hurriedly washed up, and Zhang Li had already set up the dishes and chopsticks in the hall and called me to eat.
The thickly boiled bud rice porridge with small pickles is the most delicious, I took a bowl and drank a big sip, and then squinted my eyes and tasted it carefully.
Zhang Li sat opposite me and carefully grinded the rice paste in the bowl with a spoon, and said: "Aunt Zhen has just given birth, her body is very weak, I am afraid that it will be two days late to get milk, I have to keep this little rice at home for Xiao Niuniu to eat, the girl can only take a moment, and eat bud rice with my wife." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, it's good to have buds!"
I think at the beginning, I couldn't even eat bud rice porridge!
I sighed as I continued to fill my mouth with rice.
When a bowl of porridge was at the bottom, I found that there were two poached eggs buried under the bowl.
Hmm, Zhang Li probably gave me all the eggs that Aunt Zhen ate during confinement!
The old lady is so nice! I took a big bite of joy as I thought about it.
After eating and drinking, I touched my round belly and went to the compartment to see what Zhang Li fed the baby girl.
After only one night, the baby girl still looked wrinkled, and she couldn't even open her eyes, but she knew to pinch her mouth and suck on Lee's fingers. After Zhang Li waited for her to suck twice, he put a wooden spoon containing thin rice paste to her mouth, and the baby girl smashed her mouth and swallowed the paste.
I stared curiously at the wooden spoon in Zhang's hand—it was only the size of the nail of my thumb, and the handle was much shorter than a normal spoon, and it looked childish.
When Zhang Li saw me staring, he smiled and said: "This is a spoon specially used for milk dolls, the child has just been born, and the mother has no milk, so she has to make up some rice paste to live." But the little doll has a small mouth, and the spoon used by adults can't eat, so they can only use this specially polished small spoon. ”
Oh!
I nodded suddenly, and thought: I wonder if when I was a child, my father also used this little spoon to feed me?
How long does it take to feed such a small spoon?
Daddy must have had a hard time at that time!
Just thinking to himself, the child pursed his mouth and stopped sucking, so Zhang Li stopped and said: "The newborn dolls have the same appetite as cats, and they are full after only a few mouthfuls!" He wiped the boy's mouth carefully, and then took the bowl to the hall to clean up the dishes and chopsticks I had used.
The old lady insisted on not letting me do anything, so I squatted down and watched her wash the dishes, and in the middle I took the time to look at Aunt Zhen, who was half-leaning on the bed and falling asleep, and I couldn't say anything to say goodbye to her, so I just stuffed a piece of broken silver the size of a date into her hand, and hurried out of the bloody room.
When the old lady had finished packing up, she led me to the backyard and led me to the ferry. When I passed by the small blue brick courtyard, I went to say goodbye to Langya, but I heard the woman who was sitting at the door spinning thread say that Langya had left early in the morning.
"It was just dawn, and before my meal was ready, he left."
Is it just gone?
I didn't even have a chance to say goodbye!
I felt for the money bag in my arms, and then led the donkey in the direction of the trestle.
It's the best youkai I've ever met in the human world - treat me to dinner, help me fight, save people for me, and give me money to spend.
I'll remember you!
I hope that all the good demons I will meet in the future are like this! Langya PS: Children's Day Wish List: Ask for Collection, Ask for Click, Ask for Click, Ask for Recommendation, Ask for Recommendation, Ask for That, Ask for That, Can someone fulfill my wish?
