Chapter 10 Zhao Dezhou
There are many things in life that are not indispensable, but there are some things that are absolutely indispensable.
"Salt!"
The young man said: "The salt transportation business has been controlled, and the price of salt has skyrocketed because of this, but how can there be no lack of salt in life!" ”
As the young man spoke, he couldn't help shedding tears and said, "Don't hide it, I haven't eaten salt for a month!" ”
"I eat boiled vegetable leaves every day, and the taste is really tasteless!"
If the human body does not consume enough salt, it will develop many diseases.
As the most important commodity, salt has always been monopolized by the government, and the method of salt production is only known to a few people.
The young man looked at the finished tin cans and said, "I have a reluctant request!" ”
Mei Xiaohan said: "You are too polite, if you have something to say, just say it!" ”
"Childe, can you give me that tin can?"
Mei Xiaohan looked puzzled and said, "What do you want the tin cans to do?" ”
The young man was a little embarrassed and said, "If there is something inconvenient, then forget it!" ”
Mei Xiaohan said: "Of course not, it's just that I don't understand..."
Mei Xiao originally planned to throw away the tin can, but she didn't expect the youth team to be so interested in the tin box.
"If you like it, just take it! You really don't have to be so polite! ”
The young man just said that he would pull the three sheep to the market to exchange salt, which made Mei Xiaohan interested.
The young man took the tin can, carefully poured out the residue from it, and said, "You can't waste it, there is a lot of salt in it..."
Everyone was amazed at what they saw, and they couldn't understand what the young man was doing.
"That's shabby, isn't it?"
Liu Sinian whispered in Mei Xiaohan's ear: "Otherwise, let's give him some salt!" ”
Mei Xiaohan said: "No, so our salt will become worthless!" ”
If a thing wants to reflect its value, the most important thing is that it cannot be easily obtained, and once it can be easily obtained, the thing loses its value.
The young man said: "I see that a few of you are dressed in strange clothes, not like the citizens of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I wonder if you can tell me which country it is?" ”
During the chaotic period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, there were many small countries, and the ten countries with different years of existence were collectively called small countries.
However, the so-called 10 countries are not just 10 countries, in fact, there are far more than 10 countries.
Even if Mei Xiaohan casually talks about a country, it may not be recognized.
"We are from the "Youlan Country", which is only a small country in the south, and it is not enough to say. ”
"I see! After all, there are many small countries in the south, so it's not surprising that you haven't heard of it! ”
Mei Xiaohan changed the topic and said, "After talking about it for so long, I don't know what your name is!" ”
"My name is Zhao Dezhou!"
Hearing that it was Zhao Dezhou, Mei Xiaohan felt very familiar with this name for a while, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it or which one she had seen it from.
"Brother Zhao... Courteous! "We've been so disturbed, and we hope we'll bear with us!
Zhao Dezhou said: "I'm just a country grass farmer, where are there so many rules!" ”
"We took the liberty to visit and disturb you, it's our fault!"
Mei Xiaohan took out three canned food boxes and handed them to the young man, and said, "This is a little bit of my care, and I ask Brother Zhao to accept it!" ”
Zhao Dezhou saw the three tin cans in front of him, showing a face full of surprise, his mouth opened wide, and he said in surprise: "This... This... Was this really for me? ”
"Not bad! But you don't have to thank me, if you hadn't let us into the hut to take shelter from the rain, I'm afraid we would have been a chicken in the soup by now! ”
After the rain, the sky was clear, the air became unusually fresh, breathing pure oxygen from a thousand years ago, Mei Xiaohan felt a little fluctuating.
"The weather is very good, since you came unintentionally, why don't you go outside with me and take a look."
"Good rain knows the season, when spring happens, sneaking into the night with the wind, moisturizing things silently."
It's the fireworks season in March, and all the scenery is beautiful.
The young man thought of the rain leaking from the hut for a while, and sighed again, saying, "Why is it that my thatched hut is leaking rain, which makes me really troubled!" ”
As soon as it rained, it rained heavily outside the house, and it rained lightly inside the house, which really made Zhao Dezhou suffer.
Because there was no money to repair the thatched hut, Zhao Dezhou has been enduring such weather, and even if he has some spare money, it is only used to subsidize his family.
Mei Xiaohan said: "If it's because of money, Brother Zhao doesn't have to worry, I have some assets that I can lend to Brother Zhao!" ”
The reason why Mei Xiaohan said this was not that he wanted to be a good person, but the name Zhao Dezhou. He had seen Zhao Dezhou's name in a book and felt that this person was not an ordinary person, so he wanted to take this opportunity to get acquainted with him.
Zhao Dezhou said: "The little brother is too polite, but it is useless, how dare I ask for the little brother's money!" ”
Mei Xiaohan said: "I'll lend it to Brother Zhao, and it's not too late for Brother Zhao to return it to me one day!" ”
Governor Zhao De sighed and said: "I think I am a dignified seven-foot man, I can't serve the imperial court, and I can't settle my life, I'm really ashamed!" ”
"A good man has ambitions in all directions, so why should he stick to this small village!"
Zhao Dezhou said: "Everyone has their own ambitions, maybe I will do nothing in my life!" ”
Zhao Dezhou declined Mei Xiaohan's kindness in lending him silver, and refused again: "I can't accept it if it's useless!" ”
Mei Xiaohan said: "That's it! I don't force you, I'll give Brother Zhao one more thing, and ask Brother Zhao to accept it! ”
Mei Xiaohan handed over something packed in a plastic bag, handed it to Zhao Dezhou, and said, "Please accept this bag of salt, don't shirk it!" ”
Because of Zhao Dezhou's noble quality, Mei Xiaohan had a different opinion of him.
This person is above board, but he is completely self-reliant, and although he is poor, he is not ashamed.
Looking at the bag of salt that Mei Xiaohan was carrying in his hand, Zhao Dezhou's eyes suddenly lit up, and he obviously wanted to say something, but he closed his mouth again.
"It's all salt?"
Obviously, Zhao Dezhou couldn't fully believe what he saw with his eyes.
One: he had never seen so much salt
Second: he had never seen salt of such good quality
"Can I take a look at the salt!"
Mei Xiaohan smiled and said, "Of course it's okay, please Brother Zhao take care of yourself!" ”
Even the finest official salt will inevitably leave a lot of residues and impurities, and the quality of the bag of salt that Zhao Dezhou saw in front of him was beyond the scope of his comprehension.
Zhao Dezhou dipped his fingers in salt, put it in his mouth and licked it, his eyes widened.
