Chapter 18 The child is silent, and the strange power is confused
made 400 wen, even if it was still a loss, but Lin Wanbai was still very happy, and cut half a roast chicken in the brine shop to add vegetables tonight.
Aunt Zhao is a thrifty person, and three meals a day are steamed buns, green vegetables, and occasionally salted fish.
Although it can save expenses, Lin Wanbai has no intention of sacrificing his stomach.
As soon as she pushed open the door of the courtyard, she saw Aunt Zhao holding a hoe to reclaim the small barren clearing next to the well.
Because no one lived for a long time, there were thick weeds, and although Aunt Zhao was tired and sweaty, she did not completely remove the weeds.
"Mother, what are you doing here?"
Lin Wanbai hurriedly stepped forward, snatched the hoe from Aunt Zhao's hand, and said a little angrily: "Mother, what are you doing?" ”
Aunt Zhao is thin and weak, and after giving birth to Lin Wanbai, she was not well taken care of, and she fell into a lot of diseases, and she couldn't do this kind of heavy work at all.
When she saw Lin Wanbai coming back, she smiled, wiped the sweat on her forehead and said, "I see that there is a vacant land here, and it is quite wasteful to be desolate, so it is better to cultivate and grow some vegetables." ”
Lin Wanbai looked at Aunt Zhao, feeling very uncomfortable, if it weren't for her quick talk, now that her mother is still in the Lin family, even if she has lived a lot, at least she doesn't have to do this kind of heavy work.
She didn't know whether her decision was right or wrong.
If she does this, she can't make her life better, what is the point of her doing this?
"Mother, did I do something wrong, if I hadn't talked back to my father, you wouldn't have to do this kind of thing at all."
She looked at Aunt Zhao and said sadly.
Aunt Zhao stretched out her hand to hug her, patted her back, and said with a relieved smile: "How could I do something wrong, at least, I am happier now than before, these are all brought by you." ”
Hearing her say this, Lin Wanbai breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, no matter how difficult it is, as long as her mother is happy, then it will be worth it.
"It's not in vain to go out to set up a stall today, at least 400 wen will come in, I bought half a roast chicken, and I will add vegetables tonight."
Lin Wanbai said, pushed Aunt Zhao behind her, and continued: "Mother, you go cook, I'll do all the heavy work." ”
"Wan'er, do you know how to plow the land?"
"Don't I even know how to make perfumes?"
In fact, Lin Wanbai doesn't know how to plow the land at all, but hoeing weeds, loosening the soil and sprinkling rapeseed is not too difficult.
It's just that when Lin Wanbai planted rapeseed and then watered it, he was so tired that he didn't even have the strength to eat.
Aunt Zhao took a large piece of meat and put it in her bowl in distress, and said, "Is it still smooth to set up a stall today?" ”
"I put a note in each balm with my name and address, and if they think it works, they will come to their door."
This is also Lin Wanbai's small means, relying on outwitting.
"I think I should make some cheap balm, after all, the incense in the palace is too expensive, ordinary people can't afford it, and rich ladies won't buy it at roadside vendors."
Lin Wanbai is still playing the idea of perfumery, and got the treasure of perfumery, if you don't use it, it's too tyrannical.
"Wan'er, you and your mother tell you the truth, how do you know how to make fragrances?"
As a mother, I know very well in my heart that Lin Wanbai has been too abnormal for a while, she was just when she kowtowed, so she talked nonsense and made trouble. But when I knew that Wan'er would make fragrances, I had to doubt it.
Lin Wanbai had already taken a countermeasure, looked at Aunt Zhao with a blushing face and a heartbeat, and said with a very serious and solemn expression: "Mother, I'll be honest with you, don't be scared." ”
Looking at Lin Wanbai's solemn expression, Aunt Zhao put down the dishes and chopsticks, and couldn't help but be a little nervous.
"You say."
"Didn't I accidentally fall off the lotus pond a few days ago, I thought I would die, but at the moment when I was about to lose consciousness, suddenly an old voice sounded in my ears."
Lin Wanbai, this is called opening his eyes and talking nonsense, the ancients were not scientifically developed, and they were particularly superstitious/believing in gods and ghosts, as long as they talked about these aspects, even if they had doubts in their hearts, they did not dare to doubt lightly.
"He said a lot, but I couldn't hear it clearly, and after I was rescued, I didn't know why, and suddenly I had a sense of perfumery."
"Is the old man's voice the voice of a man?"
Aunt Zhao was obviously frightened by her story, and asked blankly.
Lin Wanbai nodded, although Zi Bu was silent, but sometimes it was very good to use it as a shield.
"Yes, mother, how do you know it's a man's voice?"
Lin Wanbai pretended to be surprised and asked, it seems that her mother is in the play.
"Could it be the old man, it must be the old man's manifestation. Wan'er, you may not be impressed, the old man is a very powerful perfumer, and even the first emperor praised him endlessly. I'm going to burn incense to refresh my spirits, yes, right now. ”
Aunt Zhao said excitedly, she didn't plan to eat, and stood up and walked out.
Lin Wanbai stretched out his hand and pestled his chin, although Aunt Zhao's reaction was a little big, but since she didn't doubt it, it was also a good thing.
What she is worried about now is that she bumped into Gu Yuan in the market today, and she doesn't know what trouble she will cause.
The owner of the body does not dare to reveal that she can make fragrance in front of people, what is the reason, now she is so high-profile, and she plans to make money to open a shop, it is hard to guarantee that she will cause some trouble.
Her fears soon became a reality.
Lin Wanbai was making the second balm, and this time she planned to make a cheap one, even if she sold it for thirty or forty yuan, she could earn a few yuan.
She put the lilacs and white mulberry flowers in a pounding pot and squeezed out the juice, intending to extract the aroma, which she personally picked before sunrise in the mountains behind the ruined house.
If you can spend absolutely no money, this is her principle.
However, before she could collect all the juice, she heard a crisp/soft cry.
"Sister Wan."
She chuckled inwardly, but she put down the things in her hand, raised her head and looked at a lilac gauze skirt, with a light blue silk soft smoke tied around her waist into an elegant knot.
"Why is Lu'er here?"
Although Lin Wanbai is a hospitable person, she doesn't want to see Lin Manlu at all at this moment, and the Gu Yuan behind her.
Lin Manlu pursed her mouth slightly, leaned over to Lin Wanbai's side, and said in a low voice aggrievedly: "Why did my sister speak in such a heavy tone, is it annoying that my sister didn't come to see you in time?" ”
I'm annoyed why you came.
Lin Wanbai muttered in his heart, but there was a smile on his face.
Even if you tell the truth, you have to divide the object, and Lin Wanbai doesn't think Lin Manlu is a person who can tell the truth.
"How can it be, it's just that this place is shabby, I'm afraid there is nothing to entertain my sister."
Lin Wanbai is telling the truth, he doesn't even have a set of tea sets and a single tea leaf at home, so it is impossible to use these entertainments.
"I just want to come and see my sister and Aunt Zhao, where do you need tea."
Lin Manlu laughed, as beautiful as a flower.
She was originally a beauty embryo, coupled with exquisite makeup and luxurious clothes, Lin Wanbai was set off like a village girl.
"Sister is here, aren't you afraid that your father will find out and be angry?"
If she really has a heart, she won't wait for nearly half a month to come, and Gu Yuan is still behind her, Lin Wanbai knows that it is not so simple for her to come here to see herself.
