Chapter 66: In the house of goodness, there will be afterglow

Nan Baoyi met with visitors in the main hall.

It was a few well-dressed merchants, who had come in a hurry, and the dust on their shoulders was falling, and the edges of their robes were even splashed with mud.

Nan Baoyi motioned to the maidservant to bring tea, and said softly: "You uncles and uncles don't know where they came from, why did they come to see me?" ”

The merchants looked at each other.

The old man headed by him had pale temples and said respectfully: "Nanwu girl, we are all Shu Jin merchants in Jinguan City, I heard that the Nan family was in trouble, so we came to help." ”

The brocade industry in Shu County is well developed.

The Shu brocade merchants are headed by the Nanjia and the Xia family, and they divide half of the brocade industry, but there are not a few small and medium-sized merchants.

Nan Baoyi blinked in confusion.

As far as she knew, the family didn't have much friendship with these people, so how could they suddenly come to help?

Her eyebrows curled: "Are you going to sell mulberry leaves to my family?" It's a pity that the market price is too high, my family-"

"We're here to deliver mulberry leaves!"

A group of people spoke in unison.

The white-haired old man solemnly bowed his hand:

"At the beginning of the Flower Dynasty Festival, the five girls drew the pattern of the flower building machine in public, and gave it to all the Shu brocade merchants free of charge. We built the flower building machine according to the pattern and put it into use, I don't know how much manpower and material resources have been saved.

"The Nan family is kind to us, now that you are in trouble, how can we stand idly by?

"It's not just us who are willing to repay the favor, Jinguancheng and even Shu County's large and small Shu brocade merchants, each of them has taken out thousands of catties of mulberry leaves from their own homes, and they are rushing here, and they will arrive in a few days!"

Nan Baoyi froze.

The hand holding the teacup couldn't help but tremble slightly.

She stared at these pious businessmen and quietly reddened her eyes.

It is said that businessmen are profitable, but people's hearts are full of flesh.

Voting for me with a peach and repaying it with Qiong Yao is the most normal reaction of being a human being.

Tears rolled down quietly.

She put down the teacup, stroked her skirt, and solemnly bowed to them.

"I can't help it!"

The old man hurriedly held her.

He smiled kindly: ""Zhou Yi" has a saying, the house of goodness, there must be afterglow. The five girls also know the brocade industry in our Shu County, headed by the Nan family and the Xia family. If it weren't for the support of the Nan family over the years, the Xia family would definitely have to merge and acquire merchants to coax the market. When we help the Nan family, we are also helping ourselves! ”

Nan Baoyi wiped away her tears and glanced at the dark rain curtain outside the window.

The family suffered a catastrophe, and the mastermind behind the scenes was about to come out.

They love to play with the yin, and she doesn't mind playing with them.

She whispered: "Uncles and uncles, Baoyi still has a reluctant request......

……

Xiao Yi coordinated the military ration accounts, and the progress went very smoothly.

Others needed two or three days, but it only took him half a day to get it all done.

The remaining days are entitled to vacation.

Today's rain breaks, Qingcheng Mountain is wrapped in the vast mist, and the scenery is like a fairyland.

Xiao Yi set up a desk under the eaves, and a fragrant tea in his hand was surrounded by white mist, and the bitter taste spread in the air, making people think clearly.

Nan Baoyi came out of the guest room and saw the young man closing his eyes and pretending to sleep.

She walked over with her little hands behind her back, very proud: "Second brother, I have solved this Sangtian crisis. ”

The teenager was indifferent.

Nan Baoyi stood at the foot of the steps and tilted his head proudly, "Not only that, but I also set up a set for the Xia family."

"Don't they like to gouge prices? So I put 20,000 catties of mulberry leaves into the market at the price of ten taels of silver. As expected, they bought all of them in a hurry yesterday night, and sold them for twenty taels of silver.

"I plan to put 20,000 catties of mulberry leaves into the market every day for the next five days. On the sixth day, the Xia family saw that our family had not made any move to buy mulberry leaves, so it was estimated that they would have to be in a hurry.

"At that time, the market price will turn sharply, and we will buy back some of it at a low price, which will not only last until the new leaves grow, but also make a net profit of hundreds of thousands of taels of snowflake silver."

The little girl's eyebrows and eyes were full of evil smiles.

Xiao Yi always lowered his eyes.

Nan Jiaojiao is really smart when she is smart, but her vision for picking men is a little worse, why did she fall in love with Jiang Suihan......

He was silent for a long time, and said lightly: "Tomorrow is the Duanyang Festival." ”

Nan Baoyi was slightly stunned.

She patted her head in annoyance, "I patronized the matter of pondering mulberry leaves, and I forgot about the Duanyang Festival!" Come to think of it, this year's Duanyang can't be with his grandmother......"

As she spoke, her eyes suddenly lit up.

Doctor Jiang is also on Zhuangzi, she can take the opportunity to spend Duanyang with him!

Eating zongzi and watching dragon boats or something, isn't it a good opportunity to cultivate feelings?

"Hey, hey, hey!"

She held her little face and smiled cheaply, two rows of little white teeth and tender rice were cute.

Xiao Yi couldn't help but admonish: "Laughing like this, are there any rules?" ”

Nan Bao covered his sleeves and covered his little white teeth.

She bent her eyebrows: "Second brother, you and Doctor Jiang are old friends, you should understand his preferences." Does he like to eat salty or sweet zongzi? I plan to cook a few rice dumplings myself to show my gentleness, virtue and ingenuity! ”

Xiao Yi lifted his eyelids and glanced at her.

Just her, she is gentle and virtuous, and she is ingenious?

It's good if you don't blow up the kitchen.

He was indifferent: "I don't know. ”

"Stingy!"

Nan Baoyi muttered, flicked her wide sleeves, and left happily.

It doesn't matter if you don't know what you like, it's a big deal that she wraps two zongzi for each flavor, and there will always be one that Jiang Suihan likes!

The next day, Duanyang.

Nan Baoyi got up early in the morning and saw a handful of wormwood hanging under the eaves, and the fragrance of the herbs was very good.

Every household arranges the incense case in front of the door, and there are Baisuo, zongzi, tea and wine, five-color water balls, willow branches, sunflowers, Buddha Dao Ai and other things, which are used to worship the gods, and it is very lively to watch.

She smiled and staggered into the kitchen.

The women in Zhuangzi prepared the ingredients for making zongzi early in the morning.

In the courtyard, Nan Baoyi sat on the small pestle and learned to make zongzi seriously.

Xiao Yi sat under the west window, and he could see the scene from afar.

The little girl is approachable, and when she laughs, her eyebrows and eyes are crooked, which is very sweet.

It's about the eyes that have learned the hand but haven't learned, she holds two dumpling leaves, and she can't rule for a long time.

Glutinous rice will always spill through the cracks of the dumpling leaves, not to mention stuffing stuffing such as dates and egg yolks.

Xu felt ashamed, and she sent the woman who taught her how to make zongzi away.

She held her little face, stared at Zongye for a while, and patted her head as if she had figured it out.

She took a needle and thread and carefully sewed the leaves into a pocket shape.

Pour in a little glutinous rice, add a candied date, and then sew up the dumpling leaves with needle and thread.

But the zongzi sewn up like this is still easy to leak rice, so she added a few more zongzi leaves and sewed them carefully to the outside.

In the end, she sewed the rice dumplings into a ball.

She sewed the rice dumplings for two hours.

Xiao Yi watched her busy for two hours, and clearly saw that she had left several embroidery needles in the zongzi.

The little girl finally finished her work and looked at the board with a gratifying face.

On the board, there are large and small strange-shaped zongzi, like small green balls, which look strange and pleasant.

She picked up the board and went to cook the zongzi with joy.

Thinking of those embroidery needles, Xiao Yi suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Jiang Suihan.
