Xia He and Dongxue heard that Autumn Leaves were angry, and walked two steps to Autumn Leaves and asked, "What's the matter?"

Autumn leaves said angrily: "The ancestor asked me to clean up the brocade courtyard, I came to get the things first, Mama Liu opened the warehouse, but said that there were too many things in it, and the things in the brocade courtyard did not know where to put them, so I had to look for them." After looking for a long time, I only found one screen, and nothing else was found. I was afraid that I would miss Miss Cousin's rest, so I had to pick out the mattress and sheets first and go back to the brocade courtyard to make the bed. Now I turn back, and I haven't found anything else yet. ”

Xia He and Dong Xue glanced at Mama Liu when they heard this, and Mama Liu hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Three girls, the brocade courtyard has been uninhabited all these years, and the things that have been collected in the warehouse have long been moved inside, and it is difficult to find. ”

Dong Xue sneered: "I see that you have forgotten who is in charge of the house, and you dare to deceive us!"

Mama Liu couldn't hide it, and said in a heart: "Three girls, the old slave told the truth, the things in the brocade courtyard have long been received by the eldest grandmother in her courtyard." ”

Xia He came up as soon as he heard his temper: "Grandma is so bold, the brocade courtyard has always been inhabited by the next patriarch, and all the utensils in the courtyard are the best, how dare she take them for her own use?"

Mama Liu secretly complained in her heart, and hurriedly said: "Grandma has to take it away, and I can't stop it!"

Xia He was even more angry when he heard this: "Why don't you report to the old ancestor?"

Mama Liu trembled and said: "The old slave doesn't dare, this kind of thing is reported to the ancestors, and the old slave is afraid that he will be sold." ”

Xia He was about to speak, Dong Xue pulled her, and called Qiu Ye, the three of them walked a few steps away, to make sure that no one could hear them, Dong Xue said: "I see that Miss Biao is a good person to get along with, let's go and ask Miss Biao first." ”

Xia He said angrily, "Isn't this slapping the face of the old ancestor?"

Qiu Ye sighed: "Since the twelfth aunt and grandmother left home, the old ancestor didn't care about the affairs of the house, which made the eldest grandmother share some power. ”

Xia He and Dong Xue thought of the twelve aunts and grandmothers, and sighed.

Sigh to sigh, things still have to be done.

Dong Xue said: "This matter must be reported to the ancestors. ”

Autumn leaves nodded: "I'll go back and tell the old ancestor that Miss Cousin's side will rely on you." ”

The three of them glared at Mama Liu and walked away.

Mama Liu fell to the ground suddenly, thinking that she must have been sold this time. Pity yourself for a lot of age, and being sold to Qiluo Mansion can only be a dead end.

Tao Ming was happily playing with the two little guys, when she heard a voice outside: "Miss Cousin, the slave is back." ”

Tao Ming put on her shoes and walked out, and saw Xia He and Dong Xue standing outside the door, and wondered, "Didn't you let you go to rest?"

Xia He said angrily: "Miss Table, the slave maid has thought that the warehouse has not sent a tool for so long, so she went to urge Dongxue, who knew that Mama Liu, who was in charge of the warehouse, said that the things in the brocade courtyard were taken away by the grandmother." The slave was angry and quarreled with her. ”

Tao Ming smiled when he heard this: "It's not worth it." ”

After speaking, he began to take out things from the Dou Zhuan Xingxing, first took out the aluminum kettle for boiling water and put it on the table, and then took out four glasses, thought about it and took out a travel thermos flask, and said: "Wait a minute, take me to the place where the water is boiled, and I will teach you how to use it." ”

walked into the bedroom and said, "Soft, glutinous, go out to play." Small children need to exercise more to grow taller. After saying that, he put away the toys on the bed.

As soon as the two little ones heard that they could go out to play, they were in a hurry to slip out of bed and put on their shoes.

When he put on his shoes, Tao Ming pulled one out of the bedroom with one hand.

Xia He and Dong Xue were staring at the things on the table, and when they saw Tao Ming coming out, Xia He asked, "Miss Biao, is this a glass cup?" I have also seen glass cups in other mansions with my ancestors before, but they are not as crystal clear. ”

Tao Ming looked at her excited expression and couldn't help laughing: "Like it, I'll send you a few to play." ”

Anyway, Tao Ming purchased a lot of daily necessities, this kind of box of four, each 200 ml glass has thousands of boxes, and the wholesale price of a box is only more than two yuan.

Xia He hesitated when he heard this: "I heard that the glass cups are very expensive, each is worth ten red crystal coins, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to give them to slaves, right?"

Tao Ming's heart is happy, it's expensive, the more expensive, the better!

However, this kind of thought can't be known to others, so he suppressed his emotions and said: "It's okay, you will take care of your grandmother with your heart in the future, and I will not give it away in vain." ”

Xia He jumped up with joy at this time, and Dongxue stood beside him without saying a word.

Soft said to Nuo Nuo in her heart: "Mom is a liar." ”

Nuo Nuo replied: "Mom, this is called buying people's hearts." ”

Soft asked, "How can people's hearts be bought?"

Nuo Nuo thought for a while and replied: "It's just to give you a lollipop and make you obedient." ”

Squeezed her eyes softly: "Mom is so cunning." ”

......

Tao Ming didn't know that the two little guys were exchanging ideas in their hearts, and asked Xia He, "Is this red crystal coin money?"

Xia He took out two things and handed them to Tao Ming and replied: "Miss Biao, the white one is the white crystal coin, the yellow one is the yellow crystal coin, but the red crystal coin and the amethyst coin are not in the hands of the slave." ”

Tao Ming looked at the round coin in his hand, which looked like ore polished, and the thickness was only about three or four millimeters. The white color is slightly transparent, with a slight impurity, and the diameter is about three centimeters. Yellow is a bit more transparent than white, and the diameter is slightly smaller.

Curiously asked: "Which is the price of this white or yellow...... Tao Ming wondered if they could understand the word value.

Xia He was clever and replied: "Miss Biao, one citrine coin can be exchanged for twelve white crystal coins, one red crystal coin can be exchanged for twelve citrine coins, and one amethyst coin can naturally be exchanged for twelve red crystal coins." ”

It's 12 decimal again! It's a hassle to do the math!

After thinking for a while, Tao Ming asked, "What can you buy with that white crystal coin?"

Xia He thought for a while and replied: "Two months ago, the slave maid left the house, and one white crystal coin could buy two meat buns, but the day before yesterday, I could only buy one meat bun." ”

"Then has your salary risen?" Tao Ming said in his heart, it seems that a white crystal coin is equivalent to one yuan of RMB, but the price of goods has risen and I still need to ask again.

Xia He was puzzled: "What is the salary?"

Tao Ming explained: "It's the monthly money. ”

"There is no monthly money, but the slaves and maids are all in the house, and there is no place to use the money. ”

It seems that the maids in the house don't know much about life outside.

This topic stopped, and Tao Ming asked, "Are you four people taking care of your grandmother together?"

Xia He replied: "Miss Cousin, the old ancestor is usually accompanied by Mama Li, and the four of us are just doing some rough work. ”

Tao Ming took out five sets of glasses and put them on the table when she heard this, and said, "Everyone has a share." ”

Xia He picked up a set of boxes and touched the box and said, "This is a box made of paper? ”

Tao Ming was stunned for a moment, remembering that Tao Banxia had said that there was no papermaking here, and asked, "Do you know this is paper?"

Xia He replied: "A few years ago, the Emperor of Heaven issued a decree on the paper, but it was not so white and not so detailed. ”

Tao Ming nodded, and his heart was not sure that someone had already brought the technology of the earth.

Dongxue dragged Xia He: "Miss Cousin still needs to drink water!"

Xia He put away the box when he heard this, quickly picked up the things on the table with Dongxue, and took Tao Ming to the small kitchen.

When she went out, Tao Ming found that the little maids working in the yard were gone, and she was very satisfied. He is a big living person, he has hands and feet, why let people serve him.

After a few steps, you came to the row of houses on the right, and the one closest to the main house was the kitchenette.

Dongxue pushed open the door of the small kitchen and said, "Generally, the small kitchen in the yard is at the back, so as not to smoke the master." It's just that the twelfth aunt likes to eat something new, and the small kitchen in the brocade courtyard is closer. ”

Tao Ming doesn't care, she won't live here for long anyway. However, the love of eating has been inherited from Tao Ming and Soft.

Entering the kitchen, Tao Ming saw that there was a common brick stove in the countryside, and there were several cabinets and shelves and other furniture in other places, but there was nothing on it.

Looking at the stove eye with a diameter of nearly one meter, Tao Ming was a little worried, picked up the aluminum pot and gestured on the stove, and said, "I can't put it down at all." ”

Xia He smiled and said, "Miss Cousin, this is specially used to enlarge the pot to boil hot water for bathing. ”

Then he pulled out a metal object from the cabinet, similar to a modern simple gas stove, and placed it on a metal shelf next to it, and said, "This is for a small pot." ”

Tao Ming remembered that he had seen a similar stove in the Lianshu City Museum, but it was made of clay, and he was amazed by the wisdom of the ancients at that time, and he didn't expect it to appear in Weishui.

Tao Ming taught Xia He and Dong Xue how to use an aluminum pot and a thermos flask, and the two were very surprised, there was no formation arranged on the thermos flask, and it was able to store hot water for several hours without getting cold.

Tao Ming wanted to do it herself, but she didn't know how to use firewood to make a fire at all, so she had to take the two little ones out of the small kitchen to wander around the yard.

There was only one sun left in the sky, which hung obliquely like an egg yolk, and it seemed that it was evening.
