Chapter 66: To each his own thing
"Mrs. Du said."
"I want Brother Chen to help me see if there is anyone who sells Yue Wang's head." Zhou Xinzhi has read ancient books, this ancient coconut is called the head of the king of Yue, and I heard that there is a historical allusion in it.
"No problem, but I've seen it before, but it's not delicious because it has a lot of hair, and the flesh inside is hard, you listen to my advice, if you want to try something, it's better not to buy it."
Chen Li remembered that when he gave a dart before, the other party rewarded him with something, and said that it was a good thing, and in his opinion, it was something that threw money for nothing.
"Is that really that unpalatable?" Zhou Xinzhi pretended to be shocked, after all, people kindly reminded her that it would be a little inappropriate for her to say that she had eaten it, "Originally, I thought that I could buy it back and taste it secretly, but Brother Chen said that I didn't have the same mind, but I mainly wanted to use this Yue Wangtou." ”
Chen Li didn't try to persuade her anymore when he heard her say this, and readily agreed.
Zhou Xinzhi was just about to pay for the silver, but was rejected by Chen Li.
"Mrs. Du is too outward, but it's just to help you keep an eye on the head of the king of Yue, how can you use this." Chen Li smiled embarrassedly, they did need to pay for the darts, but this was also a convenient thing, "Ahem, if you can, Mrs. Du can send me some more pickles, and we will take them to eat on the way." ”
Zhou Xinzhi raised her eyebrows, "This is not very successful, I have promised Boss Gu, this pickle can't be passed on, it's better to do this, I'll talk to Boss Gu, how about pretending to be a little more for you before Brother Chen leaves?" ”
Chen Li happily agreed, and the matter was settled.
After leaving the post station, Zhou Xinzhi and Du Lisheng left, and made an appointment with Chen Li, and four days later, at about noon, they would reply to her.
"Is the lady also in business where you live?" Du Lisheng looked at the posture of the little lady just speaking, and always felt that she seemed to have experienced a lot of this situation.
Business? Zhou Xinzhi thought about it, someone buys people's lives, and she is responsible for collecting money and doing things, which can be regarded as having contacts and contacts, so it should be regarded as such.
"Ahem, yes, yes."
After coming out of the post station, they went to Du Jiu's side, but Zhou Xinzhi was stunned as soon as he stepped in.
The curtains that are isolated, the rest area and the bathing area, and a few nursing areas, each area is distinct, she hasn't used the silver to decorate it, how can it be decorated?
"Huh? Why are you here today, I haven't installed it yet. Du Jiu shook his fan and walked slowly from the inner room.
"I haven't paid for it yet, why is this store almost finished." Zhou Xinzhi didn't know whether to be happy or laugh for a while, "This decoration also costs a lot of silver." ”
"No more, no more, I reinstalled it, and it cost less than a hundred taels." Du Jiu waved his hand, looking indifferent.
Zhou Xinzhi stood in place with a black face, less than a hundred taels, if it was her, it was estimated that she would have to earn a few months, but this man was as easy as it took less than ten taels to talk to her, it was really terrible.
"Brother Du is really ...... What a big deal. She held back the surprise in her heart, and pretended to keep her face unchanged and said, "I'll go inside and have a look." ”
After speaking, he went directly to the house to observe, leaving Du Lisheng and Du Jiu behind.
"Brother Du, it's a coincidence, we happen to have the same surname, I'll call you Brother Du in the future, you just call me Xiaojiu." Du Jiu took the lead in breaking the embarrassment and opened his mouth to adjust the atmosphere.
"It's fine." Du Lisheng didn't dislike this man, after all, he could feel it after getting along with him a few times, he didn't have any improper thoughts about Xin Zhi, but it just so happened that he had something to ask, "Did Xin Zhi use to be in business?" ”
Business? Du Jiu almost didn't swallow a bite of the pastry, and looked at Du Lisheng in front of him with some horror.
"Ahem, Brother Du, who did you hear that Mrs. Ling used to be in business?" He patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief for the rest of his life.
"That's not true, but I see that Xin Zhi is easy to negotiate and do business, so I guessed so, Xin Zhi told me yes, I am curious to ask you."
Du Lisheng didn't understand why Du Jiu reacted this way.
"It's not accurate to say that she is in business, her previous job was to kill people."
"Could it be an assassin?"
Combined with the reactions of these two people before, he probably guessed it.
Du Jiu nodded, didn't say more, just at this time Zhou Xinzhi came out of the inner room, and her eyes were full of satisfaction.
"What are you talking about?" She looked at the two people who wanted to speak and stopped, and her eyes were a little puzzled.
"It's nothing, a topic between men, what does my sister-in-law think of this layout?" Du Jiu leaned back in his chair and looked at Zhou Xinzhi at the door with praise in his eyes.
Sister-in-law? Zhou Xinzhi had a question mark in her head, she left for a while, and these two men began to call each other brothers? "The layout is good, by the way, how about the essential oil that I told you before?"
"I've found a source of roses, but the price is not high, in addition to roses, I am also going to study lilies and gardenias, both of which have a strong fragrance."
Du Jiu's expression also began to become serious, and he no longer had the same hangings as he had at the beginning.
"I have tried two kinds of scrubs yesterday, if I can, I can have a trial operation in ten days, but I am still waiting for the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau to help me find out the situation of coconut, if I can find it, it will be better to refine coconut oil at that time." Zhou Xinzhi could even feel the silver of the white flowers swaying in front of her eyes.
Du Lisheng was still quiet and silent as usual, but he was a little depressed in his heart.
"It's okay, then I'll urge you here to refine the essential oil as soon as possible."
After the matter was finalized, Zhou Xinzhi and Du Lisheng left, and the two went to the shop in the city and bought some used Chinese medicines, such as Angelica Angelica, Poria Cocos and Atractylodes, etc., this time the dose was not as small as what she wanted before, after all, she had tried it before, and the mask prepared by this prescription was indeed easy to use.
So buy more this time, you can also grind it directly and use it when you open for business later.
After buying the things they needed, they set out on the way home, but Du Lisheng didn't say much along the way, which made Zhou Xinzhi a little surprised.
"What's wrong with you? Got something on your mind? It was the first time she had seen him like this.
Du Lisheng shook his head with a straight face, he was just doubting himself.
"Can't you tell me?" Zhou Xinzhi frowned, she found that Du Lisheng's mood seemed to be a little different from the past, could it be that she did something wrong? "If there's something I'm not doing right, you can just tell me."
Hearing her say this, Du Lisheng's head shook even more, "It's not the lady's problem, it's my own problem, the lady is proficient in everything, she can do everything well, and I can't help the lady, even when you and Du Jiu talk about business, I can't interject, if the lady thinks I'm useless in the future, I ......"
He panicked for a moment, and the thought of this possibility was like pressing a big stone in his heart.
Looking at him like this, Zhou Xinzhi suddenly laughed, such Du Lisheng is really cute.
"What are you worried about, worried that I'm going to take a fancy to someone else?"
She followed his words, and sure enough, Du Lisheng's face turned a little pale when he heard this, and finally nodded, which was considered to be admitted, "After all, there are many people who are better than me, and there are many people who have topics with the lady." ”
A sense of gain and loss gripped his heart, and the thought of that might made him breathless.
"Don't worry, no matter how good they are, they are them, you are you, different from them, even if they are excellent, they are not my husband, you have something they can't do, tolerate me, and take care of me so carefully, you are not without advantages."
She touched his head, as if she was coaxing a child, and she was also reflecting on her actions over the past few days.
Indeed, because of the special relationship of the system, she spent most of her time in the house researching by herself, and rarely communicated with him, she always felt that Du Lisheng did not understand this aspect, so she did not force him to do things with her.
It wasn't until today that she realized that she was indeed wrong, and this kind of non-interference life also made her feel bored, and after a long time, the two of them rarely intersected, and it was no wonder that he had this thought.
"How about going back and helping me cut the pickles in a moment?" She no longer dwells on this topic, if she was wrong before, she was wrong, and she can do it well in the future.
"Of course it's good, you can help the lady." Du Lisheng can also understand her thoughts, and he feels very excited in his heart.
I'm also glad that she can understand her own thoughts, and she can tolerate his occasional temperament.
For the rest of the journey, Du Lisheng was like he had encountered a great good thing, chattering non-stop along the way, and Zhou Xinzhi didn't stop him, just let him talk, and he would exclaim from time to time.
It's like two people in love, one talking and the other listening.
Back at home, Zhou Xinzhi put aside the Chinese medicine bag and medicine mill, and then put the pickles to be used in a wooden basin on the side.
"Wash the radishes and cucumbers and cut them into finger-thick strips." Zhou Xinzhi wiped the medicine and turned back to talk to Du Lisheng.
Du Lisheng followed what she said, raised his hand to wash the radish and cucumber, one of the two of them processed the radish, and the other began to grind the medicinal powder and almond powder.
It wasn't until the sun went down that Zhou Xinzhi straightened up and looked at the radish that had been pickled, and she had already mixed the ground powder together and put it in the jar.
"Tomorrow is fine, go to the orchard to pick some grapes, I will make the wine, wait for a while, I can drink it myself or go out and sell it, and I can make a sum of silver." Zhou Xinzhi's eyes were full of pride when she said this, but she didn't expect that what she learned inadvertently during her life could be used in this era.
"Of course, the lady can do whatever she wants." Du Lisheng wiped his hands clean and pinched her face, he hadn't gone up the mountain for a long time, and he didn't know if any prey had been baited.
