The next day, after breakfast. Liu Yu and his wife, Liu He, Ao Lie and Shuang'er came to the small courtyard where Ao Lie usually practiced.

Liu Yu looked at the hundreds of small cigarette rolls that Shuang'er took out, and was even more surprised in his heart, and asked Ao Lie: "Lie'er, can this thing really have the effect of incense?" ”

Ao Lie nodded undoubtedly and replied: "Yes, it's just that there is still the last process that has not been completed." Liu Yu nodded and said, "Then let's start." ”

Ao Lie beckoned to Frost, who stepped forward with a brazier. Ao Lie took the brazier and put it on the ground, then picked up an iron plate, covered it with the brazier, and then put the spices on the iron plate. After a while, the iron plate was heated by the brazier, and the spices placed on the iron plate began to melt, and a burst of aroma emerged. Ao Lie took a cigarette roll, placed it on top of the melted spices, and smoked it repeatedly, tossing back and forth more than ten times before it was finished.

According to the above method, Ao Lie smoked hundreds of cigarette rolls one by one, and then wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, and then smiled: "Okay, it's done, this is the flue-cured tobacco type, well, golden silk leaf, its name is golden silk leaf." Liu Yu was very interested, reached out and picked up a golden silk leaf, flipped it in his hand a few times, and asked, "How to use this golden silk leaf?" ”

Ao Lie stepped forward and picked up the flint and lit one end of the golden silk leaf, then handed it to Liu Yu and said, "Just put the unlit end in your mouth and suck it." Liu Yu put the golden silk leaf in his mouth and took a slight sip. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he praised repeatedly: "Wonderful, wonderful!" At first, the taste was slightly bitter, but later it was bitter and sweet, which was refreshing. When Liu He heard his father's admiration, he couldn't help but step forward, picked up a golden silk leaf, lit it according to Liu Yu's appearance, and sucked it up. After a while, Liu He also opened his mouth and praised: "It's really wonderful!" ”

Ao Lie was praised by his father and eldest brother, and he was also very happy in his heart. Although the materials of this period are limited, and the technology is not developed, it is impossible to make tobacco similar to that of later generations, but the benefits are not impossible, in this way, the tobacco made by Ao Lie can be described as pure natural, without adding any industrial raw materials, and there is no harm to the human body.

Glancing at Shuang'er, Ao Lie said: "Father, the child usually has to practice swordsmanship and marksmanship, and he doesn't have much time to make tobacco, so the child plans to hand over this matter to Sister Shuang'er to do, so that he can not only make tobacco to sell for money, but also spread the method of making tobacco." ”

Liu Yu turned his head to look at Shuang'er, and said with a smile: "Very good." Shuang'er hurriedly saluted and thanked, "Thank you, master." Liu Yu waved his hand and said: "Speaking of which, Shuang'er has been a maid in my Liu family since the year Lie'er was born, in the blink of an eye, in the past eight years, my wife and I have not treated you as an outsider, this matter is handed over to you, I can rest assured." ”

Ao Lie picked up the rest of the golden silk leaves, thought about it, took out more than thirty of them, divided them into three parts, handed them to Liu Yu, Liu He and Mrs. Ao respectively, and said, "The child and Sister Shuang'er went to the market to peddle these golden silk leaves, and these three copies were reserved for my father, eldest brother and grandfather." ”

In the Jiuyuan Market, Ao Lie and Shuang'er stood side by side, with a bag of golden silk leaves in front of them. Shuang'er shouted crisply: "Sell gold silk leaves, good incense, don't pay if it's not fragrant, don't miss it when you pass by." Then he turned around and asked Ao Lie a little nervously, "I shouted right, right?" Ao Lie smiled and nodded, and said with encouragement: "That's right, just shout!" In fact, Ao Lie has never seen a merchant sell things in his life, but according to the memories of his previous life, he taught Shuang'er such a set of methods of selling.

After a while, a gorgeously dressed merchant walked over, heard the sound of Frost's selling, and couldn't help but stop. Glancing at the golden silk leaves placed on the ground, Born asked, "How do you sell this thing?" Shuang'er was about to answer, but Ao Lie preemptively said: "This guest officer, this is the first time that our sister and brother have gone to the market to sell things, let's give you a bargain, each golden silk leaf only costs a hundred yuan." ”

"A hundred bucks? Why don't you grab it? The merchant rebuked. His angry rebuke immediately attracted many onlookers.

Ao Lie unhurriedly picked up a golden silk leaf, handed it to the merchant, and said, "Why don't you taste it first?" It's not good to don't want money. The merchant took the golden silk leaf handed by Ao Lie in disbelief, put it in his mouth and sucked it up, and then immediately showed a look of enjoyment. After sucking up the whole golden silk leaf, he said, "Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful." A hundred dollars is indeed worth the money, give me ten. ”

Shuang'er was shocked by Ao Lie's sky-high asking behavior, and what shocked her even more was that the gorgeously dressed merchant did not hesitate to buy ten. She was in a daze, Ao Lie was not in a daze, she picked up ten golden silk leaves, then wrapped them in a small ball with a cloth, and handed them to the merchants, while saying: "This is ten, you take it, it is a total of 1,000 yuan, and the one you tasted just now is not your money." ”

The merchant took the cloth bag and said with a smile: "You kid, you are very good at business." After speaking, he took out a large amount of money from his sleeve and handed it to Ao Lie.

The onlookers saw the merchants happily paying for the golden silk leaves, and they were curious, so they came forward and asked Ao Lie: "Boy, we also want to buy it, but we don't know what the golden silk leaves taste, can we also taste them first?" Ao Lie did not hesitate to grab a handful of golden silk leaves, about seven or eight, handed them to the people in front of him, and said: "Rely on your parents at home and rely on your friends when you go out, our sisters and brothers' small business depends on all the nobles, how can you not follow it?" ”

Seeing that Ao Lie was cheerful and generous, everyone took the golden silk leaf one after another, lit it and sucked it up. Those who finished sucking first suddenly applauded and rushed to buy it; Those who haven't finished sucking want to come forward to scramble, but with the lit golden silk leaves, it is inconvenient to move, and they want to throw away the remaining golden silk leaves, but they are reluctant, and they are in a dilemma for a while, which is very difficult.

It didn't take much effort to sell the golden silk leaves that Ao Lie brought out, and there were less than ten left. Shuang'er happily counted the big money in her hand, and while counting, she said happily to Ao Lie: "Second Gong, Lie'er, we have made more than 4,000 yuan today, which is a lot of money, I have never seen so much money." ”

Ao Lie also raised his head happily, and was about to talk to Shuang'er, but his face suddenly changed, and he looked at the corner of the street with a solemn expression.

Around the corner, a figure walked slowly. Shuang'er saw the change in the expression on Ao Lie's face, followed Ao Lie's gaze, and saw a young man in his twenties, walking slowly, this young man was tall and burly, and his face was handsome. Although he is only wearing an ordinary power suit, he gives people a feeling that is not ordinary.

Of course, it's just the feeling of frost. At this moment, Ao Lie's heart was set off with turbulent waves. He felt that since this young man appeared, there seemed to be an invisible momentum centered on him, constantly radiating around. It seems that between heaven and earth, he is the core, the master. What surprised Ao Lie even more was that this young man was carrying a weapon behind his back, a weapon that made Ao Lie feel pressure-a halberd!

The young man walked up to Ao Lie and the others, glanced down at the golden silk leaf, and asked in a deep voice, "What is it?" Geometry? "The language is short, concise, and straight to the heart. When Shuang'er was asked by this young man, she suddenly felt as if an invisible long sword was pointed at her, and she was speechless for a while.

Ao Lie used the Wudang Peerless Nine Yang Gong of his previous life, resisted the momentum of this young man, and then replied: "This thing is called Golden Silk Leaf, a hundred coins." The young man glanced at Ao Lie in a little surprise, and said in a deep voice again: "You, not bad. Five. ”

Ao Lie picked up five golden silk leaves and handed them to the young man, the young man stretched out his hand to take them, looked at Ao Lie seriously, and said, "Tomorrow I will go to Zhengyang Valley in the suburbs and get the money." After saying that, he didn't stop, but turned away.

It wasn't until the young man disappeared from sight that Shuang'er gasped and said, "This person is so domineering, why don't you take things and don't give money?" Ao Lie didn't respond to Shuang'er's words, but stared thoughtfully in the direction where the young man's figure was gone, and muttered to himself: "The master of the halberd, in his twenties, is it him?" Shuang'er asked puzzledly, "Who is it?" Ao Lie shook his head and said, "Maybe it is, maybe not, I'm not sure, anyway, I'll know the Tao tomorrow, so there's no need to guess." By the way, Sister Shuang'er, we have almost sold our golden silk leaves today, so why don't we go back. ”

Speaking of Jin Siye, Shuang'er's interest was raised again, and she said with a smile: "Okay, the master will be very happy to see that we sold four hangings for a lot of money in half a day." ”

The two of them cleaned up, and returned to the county guard mansion with the day's harvest.

In the lobby of the county guard's mansion, Liu Yu and Mrs. Ao sat in the middle hall, looking at Ao Lie and Shuang'er, who came back in half a day, Liu Yu said, "Come back so soon?" Is it that those golden silk leaves are not easy to sell? It doesn't matter, the family is not short of food and clothing, if you can't sell it, you can't sell it, to be honest, I still want to enjoy the taste of golden silk leaves every day, so it's better to leave it to me. ”

Ao Lie was stunned, glanced back at Shuang'er, and couldn't help but smile at each other. Dare to love, my father thought that the two of them had hit a wall and returned. Shuang'er chuckled lightly and said, "Master, madam, today, the slave and the son-in-law have sold out the golden silk leaves, and they have sold a total of four hangings. ”

Liu Yu responded casually: "Well, no matter how much it sells, it's good to have this experience, don't care about anything?" Four big bucks? Looking back at Mrs. Ao, I saw that Mrs. Ao was also covering her mouth in surprise at the moment, looking incredulous. Liu Yu asked again: "Shuang'er, how much did you say it was sold?" Shuang'er simply put the package in her arms on the ground, and then opened the package, revealing the four big coins inside.

"Profiteering, this is profiteering." Liu Yu covered his forehead, looking like he was defeated by big money. Yu Guang was looking at Ao Lie, and the corners of his mouth had a slight invisible arc.
