Chapter 37: Kong Lin's Visit
After eating in the afternoon, Xiao Han continued to work in the field, Xiao Ming took out the medicinal materials processed in the space and put them in different categories, there are not many types of Chinese medicine in the space, and only a small half of the hundreds of medicine cabinets are placed, it seems that you have to go to Guangjitang to buy a batch of medicines and come back.
Now the weeds in front of the door are cleaned, and you can see the wooden bridge by the river at a glance, and there is a stone road between the wooden bridge and the Xiao family.
"Xiao Mingming, I miss my brother to death, did you come to greet my brother on purpose?" Kong Lin became familiar with Xiao Ming after the last contact, and even joked with Xiao Ming, which shows that he is in a good mood. As he spoke, he opened his arms and wanted to give Xiao Ming a hug.
"Stop, who is your little Mingming" Xiao Ming hurriedly pushed him back with a weighing rod, and said in a word: "Where are you thinking about me, are you thinking about the vegetables in my field." ”
"The conscience of heaven and earth, I just miss you, you don't know if you don't see each other for a day, but now we haven't seen each other for almost three months, so how many autumns will there be." Kong Lin said aggrievedly.
"Speaking of people, I'm very busy," Xiao Ming interrupted him.
"Hehe, you see that as soon as I come back, I came to you, don't I just miss you." Kong Lin resolutely refused to admit that he came for those dishes. "I was going to come back before your housewarming feast, but unfortunately I didn't catch up; I brought you gifts from the capital, including the new bead flowers from Zhenbao Zhai, and many small toys in the capital, all of which were given to Xiao Yu to play. “
"Well, thank you for your concern." Xiao Ming ignored it and continued to do her own thing, without raising her head, too lazy to pay attention to him.
"Look, I've run out of food last time, so how about I buy another car and go." Kong Lin saw that Xiao Ming ignored him, so he had to be cheeky and explain his intentions. Since the last time he bought a cart of vegetables, he quickly whipped back to the capital overnight, but the taste of the dish in a few days completely conquered the delicious people in the capital, but unfortunately the cart of vegetables was sold out in less than five days. But in those five days, the business in the store was more than twice as good as usual, which can be described as hot, and the orders were full every day.
The dishes are gone, and every day someone comes to ask when the goods will be available, they are all some big officials who Kong Lin can't afford to offend, Kong Lin wrote three times to urge Xiao Ming, but unfortunately he met the Xiao family who was repairing the house, and only provided one dish, and then never supplied it again.
Unable to do so, Kong Lin had to rush back all the way and come to the door in person.
"It's not that we don't want to give it to you, you see we are repairing the house, the food is almost finished, and there is nothing superfluous." Xiao Ming was embarrassed.
"You hurry up and plant more, I opened a restaurant in Pingcheng, and I will use more dishes in the future, and your piece of land can't be supplied." Kong Lin said urgently. knew that the Xiao family didn't have it, and it couldn't. In the end, I was cheeky and went to Xiao Ming's vegetable field to pick half a car.
"Do you have any chrysanthemum tea, take it out, I bought it all." The chrysanthemum tea he bought last time was placed in the grocery store, and it was twenty taels of silver a pack, which was in short supply, which greatly exceeded his expectations.
"There are not many others, you can get them later." Xiao Ming asked Kong Lin to sit and wait, and she went into the inner courtyard to pretend to get tea, and the tea was planted by herself in the empty air, and there were so many of them, but Xiao Ming only took fifty bags out.
"I see that your fruit trees have all borne fruit, and they are ripening earlier than the ones outside, so I will keep them, and I will take them all away next time." Kong Lin looked at the apple and pear trees next to Xiao Ming's thatched house, each of which was full of ripe fruits, and she was envious, now that the fruits outside were blooming, her family was actually almost ripe.
These fruits taste good and are precocious, and when the time comes, they will be shipped back to the capital to sell, and they can make a fortune.
Kong Lin sat for a while, told Xiao Ming and the others a lot of interesting things and stories in the capital, and finally took his leave.
Before leaving, Kong Lin said to Xiao Ming: "I almost forgot, my brother-in-law asked me to send you a message, so that you can take Brother Han and Brother Yu to the town tomorrow to find him." He said he had something to do with you." After saying that, he got into the carriage and left.
"Tea girl, these are the silver that sells tea, so much." Song looked at the one hundred taels of silver tickets and a few taels of broken silver, and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, but he didn't expect that a few packs of chrysanthemum tea were sold for a hundred taels of silver, and those vegetables, the vegetables she planted a few years ago, a basket only sold for more than a dozen yuan.
"Yes, Aunt Song, chrysanthemum tea is two taels of silver a pack." Xiao Han said happily.
"It's worth so much." Song was shocked, she drank this every day, and she didn't know how much silver she drank.
"Not only that, but there are also 50 pounds of vegetables and 1 tael of silver for fruits." Out of trust and respect for the Song family, Xiao Han told her all these secrets.
"Ahh Song was incredible, he didn't react for a long time, and suddenly said, "Don't talk nonsense about this, you know." She knew that there were no people in the village with unclean hands and feet, and she always wanted to take advantage, and if this matter came out, she didn't know how much trouble it would have.
"No, I'll have to go and see in the field." After saying that, he left in a hurry.
Xiao Han was left with a question: "Sister, why can't you tell me about this?" “
Xiao Ming glanced at his stupid brother: "You are stupid, if this matter spreads, everyone knows that these things can be sold for silver, what should we do if they come to steal, and there is no wall in our field, how can we prevent it."
"yes? So what do we do. Xiao Han suddenly realized that when he used to repair the house, someone stole a few pennies a brick, not to mention that now it is a bag of chrysanthemums for two taels of silver.
"Or we build a wall, so no one will steal it."
"Building a wall can only prevent gentlemen, but can't stop villains, let's talk about it later, the soldiers will block, the water will flood, at least no one knows now." Xiao Ming said, she doesn't have any good way, the thief doesn't have any writing on his face, she doesn't know who will steal, and the ancient people have no way to give them an ideological education, they are all from a village, and they can't report to the official.
"If that's the case, lock the iron door every night from now on." Xiao Han said, and asked again: "Sister, is there something wrong with Dr. Min asking us all to go to the town tomorrow?" “
"I don't know about that, but something must be wrong." Xiao Ming faintly had a conjecture, but he was not sure.
"By the way, where did Xiao Yu go?" Xiao Yu disappeared in the afternoon, and Maomao disappeared with him, so he didn't know where to run.
"He, Xiao An and Tiezhu are here, and they went to the river to play, saying that they went to hook fish." Xiao Han said, he arranged for Xiao Yu to write big characters and memorize an article every day, and after he finished, he would no longer care about him, let him finish by himself, and rest assured that Mao Mao would follow him.
"Hooked fish?" Xiao Ming was surprised, she knew that there were fish in the river, but few people in the village ate fish, and the village was reluctant to use oil for cooking, and the fish made had an unpleasant fishy smell.
Xiao Ming liked to eat fish in her previous life, but when she arrived here, she only ate it on the day of the relocation banquet, and it was fried in oil until it was golden and crispy, fragrant, and delicious.
But Xiao Han's skills are average, where do you dare to make fish.
"Yes, it was Xiao Anzi who brought the fishing rod." Xiao Han said, casually looking at the gifts sent by Kong Lin, except for Xiao Yu's toys and sister's beads, all the other things that were not needed were put into the warehouse.
