Chapter 56: Buying a Cow
He Huan touched his somewhat itchy nose, smacked his lips again, and glanced at his white and smiling eyes, it seemed that he was in a good mood today?
Then she'll just say it.
"If I didn't say anything myself, but these rouges were made by me and your subordinates, I should always give them some reward money, you are right, so, these rouges, why do you have to give me some material fees and manual fees, you are right. ”
He Huan's eyes were shining, and the corners of his eyes were slightly raised playfully, staring at Bai Qi intently.
Bai Qi raised an eyebrow, "Oh, I see." He nodded and walked out of the Changhuan Courtyard.
He Huan stood alone and stared blankly, I know, I know what it means, whether to give silver, or not to give silver?
I couldn't figure it out, He Huan didn't want to think about it, and when he walked to the room, he felt that the magnet on his waist was a little panicked, so he untied it and put it under the pillow.
Midsummer and Autumn walked in with a handkerchief, and compared them as they walked.
"What are you doing?" He Huan leaned over curiously.
"Girl, don't you know, every year on Miss Moyu's birthday, those of us who are subordinates will prepare gifts for Miss Moyu, and then Miss Moyu will give gifts to the slaves and maids in return, and every time we look forward to the girl's return gift. ”
Oh, so that's the case, I didn't expect Mo Yu to be so good to his subordinates.
Unconsciously, He Huan felt that the incident last time might really be a misunderstanding.
Oh, what should she give her?
Sending gold and silver, a little cheesy, she doesn't have that much, why don't you send clothes and jewelry?
This can be had.
"Midsummer, you can go out with me. ”
He Huan dragged Midsummer to the street, and walked around for a long time, He Huan only felt very weak at the moment.
The things she saw were too expensive, cheap, and too bad, and the first time she gave someone a birthday gift, she couldn't be too shabby.
He Huan thought about it, standing in the center of the goldsmith shop, staring at the beautiful butterfly step, this step-shake workmanship is very exquisite, the butterfly is vividly depicted, the two wings seem to spread their wings and fly high, special smart, not at all tacky.
He Huan liked it at a glance.
Touching the purse on his waist with his fingers, He Huan settled down, finally pointed to the golden hairpin, gritted his teeth and said, "Boss, wrap that golden hairpin for me!"
"Okay, the girl is really good-eyed!" The boss happily wrapped up the golden hairpin, and did not forget to compliment He Huan.
Midsummer on the side watched He Huan hand ten taels of silver to the boss, and her eyes widened fiercely, which is equivalent to her three-year monthly rate!
Miss He Huan is really generous to Miss Mo.
"How's this, does it look good?"
He Huan turned his head and asked Midsummer.
Midsummer nodded again and again, "It's good-looking, it's just too expensive." ”
He Huan nodded in agreement, "Well, it's a little too expensive, but it's worth it." He Huan put the wrapped gold hairpin close to his body and strode out of the gold shop.
He Huan suddenly felt a little hungry in his stomach, and immediately said with a smile, "Let's eat out today in midsummer." ”
"Is this okay?" Midsummer was a little embarrassed.
"What's not to do, go, what do you want to eat, I invite you. ”
The two of them walked briskly to a small restaurant on the side of the road, asked for their specialty, and feasted on it.
He Huan forcibly took Midsummer to sit down and eat, Midsummer was very unnatural, and after eating very little, he put down his chopsticks and stood up.
"Eat so little, no wonder you're so thin. He Huan glanced at Sheng Xia and shook his head, and then looked at her and looked at her body too, no, the point was to look at her chest, which was a little empty.
She still has to eat well to grow well.
After eating, He Huan wanted to go shopping again and buy some snacks to go back, but Midsummer kept whispering to urge her, and it was not stable to go shopping, so she simply planned to go back.
But when they passed by the livestock market, He Huan suddenly saw a big black and white cow, and under its belly, a calf that had just given birth was croaking and eating.
Looking at the white foam on the side of the calf's mouth, He Huan couldn't help but smack his lips, his eyes lit up, this white milk is a good thing.
Thinking of this, she involuntarily approached and looked at a middle-aged man in a short sweatshirt who looked like a farmer standing next to the cow, and a boy of eight or nine years old was squatting at his feet.
"This girl, do you have a crush on this cow?"
When the man saw He Huan coming over, he hurriedly asked.
He Huan looked at the cow, except for losing some weight, everything else was fine.
"How do you sell this cow?"
The man was stunned, lowered his head as if he was thinking about something, and finally raised his head and said with firmness, "Eight taels of silver!"
He Huan secretly calculated in his heart, about 8,000 yuan in modern times, and such a sturdy cow is worth about 10,000 yuan in modern times.
So, it's really not expensive.
"No, it costs ten taels of silver!" At this time, the little boy who was squatting on the ground stood up suddenly, and stubbornly glared at the middle-aged man and He Huan.
He Huan raised his eyebrows, this kid is quite good at calculation, and he has a way to make money.
"Stinky boy, there's no place for you to talk here!" The man glanced at He Huan nervously, as if he was afraid that she wouldn't buy it, and scolded the boy anxiously.
"No, it must be ten taels of silver, and besides, you must treat the big flower well!"
"Big flower?"
He Huan pointed to the cow.
The boy nodded, the stubborn and fierce light in his eyes faded away, and pressed his face to the cow's nose, his eyes reddened.
Seeing such a scene, He Huan probably understood seven or eight points in his heart, seeing that the relationship between the child and the cow was so good, he must be reluctant to sell it, it should be that something happened at home, and he was anxious to use the silver.
"If it weren't for ten taels of silver, my mother would die. The boy stroked the cow, tears rolling in his eyes, and he choked up.
The man turned his face away, sighed heavily, and squatted helplessly on the ground.
"If the girl wants, ten taels of silver. ”
Finally, the man spoke in a low voice.
He Huan looked at him and lowered his head in frustration, probably thinking that she wouldn't buy it.
"Okay, ten taels is ten taels!" He Huan took out his purse very proudly, ready to take out ten taels of silver to him.
At this time, a young man in a brocade robe suddenly squeezed down, but he looked fierce, and his face was as black as coal.
"Just now we agreed on eight taels of silver, for you, I took this cow away!" The black-faced man threw the silver to the man and stretched out his hand to take the cow.
The boy hurriedly stood in front of the cow, "No, you didn't buy it just now, then it doesn't count, this cow has been sold to this sister now!"
He Huan looked at the boy's straight chest, his face was full of fearlessness, his eyes flashed with admiration, this little boy is well-organized, sensible and well-behaved, he is really good.
"You little brat, where do you have the right to speak, brother, you say, did we talk about this cow just now!"
The black-faced man glared at the little boy, then turned his head to look at the man viciously in a thick voice.
The man winced and unconsciously took a small step back, looking at He Huan hesitantly.
"Well, this girl has already bought it. ”
The black-faced man looked at He Huan with a twinkle in his eyes.
When he saw He Huan's face clearly, those triangular eyes flashed with a special light.
"Yo, why do you still come to buy cattle from this delicate little lady, whose family is willing to let you go to herd cattle?" As he spoke, he laughed obscenely a few times, staring at He Huan up and down with evil eyes.
His big piercing gaze made He Huan feel very uncomfortable, and the midsummer on the side dodged in front of He Huan, and couldn't help but scold, "Presumptuous, what are you talking about!"
"I'm talking about human language, why don't you understand?" The black-faced man smiled and glanced at Midsummer with a smile, and then looked at the silver in He Huan's hand.
"Isn't this silver unpaid, if you don't pay the silver, it won't count, I've given you the silver now, then this cow is mine!"
"No, not for you!" the little boy looked anxious, and stretched out his arms in front of the cow to prevent the black-faced man from leading him.
The black-faced man frowned, a haze flashed in his eyes, and waved at the two little guys who followed behind him, "Throw him aside for me!"
"Don't, don't do this!" the man hurried over, but was pushed away by the two boys, who reached out to the boy and grabbed him by the shoulder.
"Hey...... "This is too bullying, He Huan is ready to step forward to reason with them, and he doesn't want Midsummer to hold her.
"Girl, let's leave it alone!"
He Huan twisted his eyebrows, and saw that the little boy was thrown to the ground by the two of them at once, and the little boy fell in pain, grinning his teeth, but did not cry.
Seeing that the two of them were about to leave after leading the cow, He Huan couldn't hold back any longer.
"Wait!"
He Huan took a step forward and blocked in front of the two, "This cow has been sold to me by the eldest brother I have just talked to him." ”
The two little guys looked at the satin skirt on He Huan's body, and they were afraid that it would not be easy to mess with He Huan's identity, and looked at the black-faced man hesitantly.
The black-faced man sneered when he saw He Huan come out.
"I want this cow Lai San, the girl should go and see something else!" said the black-faced man Lai Sanliu angrily, and walked up to He Huan, sniffed the faint fragrance emanating from He Huan's body vigorously, and looked full of enjoyment.
He Huan only felt extremely disgusting when he looked at him, this Lai San was really as good as his name.
"I can't give it to you, sister, you can help us!" The little boy was a smart one, and when he saw He Huan make a sound, he immediately crawled over and begged He Huan.
He Huan touched his head and said softly, "Good." ”
"I just understood that you gave up buying cattle with this eldest brother before, so since I have already agreed with my eldest brother, then there is no reason for you to buy again, or, it is okay if you give more silver than me, but you give less silver than me, then it is even more impossible to sell it to you. ”
He Huan straightened his face, unhurriedly, and said to Lai San righteously.
"Don't fart with me, I'll see you take one away today!"
He Huan saw him walking towards her, and the two little guys also subconsciously surrounded her, no matter what, they still wanted to be rude.
"Girl, you are not allowed to be rude to the girl!" Midsummer was anxious and hurriedly shouted.
He Huan was not flustered at all, looked at Lai San, and smiled slightly, "By the way, I forgot to introduce to you, I am from the General's Mansion." ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw that the faces of the three people around her changed greatly, and the two little guys took two steps back in fright.
He Huan sneered in his heart, look, look, I have to let her use the ultimate.
Lai San was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and said loudly, "Don't listen to her nonsense, she is a liar!"
After speaking, he came over to pull He Huan's arm.
Suddenly, a dagger stabbed into Lai San's arm impartially, causing him to jump up in pain!
"Ah, who, who the dares to plot against Lao Tzu!"
"Bang!" After two crisp sounds, a tall figure came to He Huan's side like lightning.
He Huan was overjoyed when he saw the fangs.
"It's great that you're here, they bullied me!" He Huan pointed at Lai San and the three of them, and excitedly complained to Fangfang.
Fang's thick eyebrows raised, and his eyes flashed with a cold murderous aura to look at Lai San, "Say, how do you want to die?"
A small guy beside Lai San looked at the fangs with cracking eyes, and said tremblingly, "Boss, he, he's the deputy general next to General Bai!"
Lai San's eyes were shocked, his eyes flashed, he picked up the silver, turned his head and ran wildly, the two little guys followed behind, running staggering, extremely embarrassed.
It made He Huan and Fang couldn't help but froze, this, running a little fast.
"Miss He Huan, are you okay. Fangs looked at He Huan and asked a little nervously.
"I'm fine. After speaking, He Huan turned around and squatted in front of the little boy, "Hey, little friend, what's your name?"
The boy looked at He Huan's big eyes and was slightly stunned, "I, my name is Gao Qi." ”
He Huan nodded, "Well, good name." What did you mean when you said that if you don't have ten taels of silver, your mother will be gone?"
After hearing this, Gao Qi couldn't help but bow his head with a look of loss, "My mother is sick, and Lang Zhong in the village said that to cure her illness, she needs ten taels of silver, otherwise she won't be treated." ”
Oh, I see, "Then tell me, what is your mother's own disease?"
"It's tuberculosis. ”
At this time, the man standing next to him spoke softly.
He Huan was stunned, it turned out to be tuberculosis!
You must know that this disease is a terminal illness here, and even in modern times, it is a very serious disease.
However, according to Guo Yu, tuberculosis is now untreatable, so why does Langzhong in their village say that it can be cured?
Is there a world in this world that they don't know about?
But think about it, there are people outside the world, since that Lang Zhong dares to boast about Haikou, he shouldn't dare to joke about human life.
"No, this is ten taels of silver, you can take it to your mother's doctor quickly. He Huan put ten taels of silver in Gao Qi's hand, and then stood up.
"Thank you, sister, the big flower will be handed over to you, you must treat it well. ”
Takasaki looked at the cow with reluctance.
He Huan nodded and said with a serious expression, "Don't worry, I will treat it as my sister!"
Sheng Xia listened to it on the sidelines, and almost laughed out loud, this He Huan girl really dares to say anything.
"By the way, the girl and the calf are too small to leave the cow, so take them with you. The man said softly.
He Huan hummed, thought about it and took out five taels of silver from his purse, "Then this is the silver I bought the calf." ”
"Oh no, we can't have it!" the man hurriedly waved his hand.
Takasaki stared at the silver, thoughtful.
"Take it, if this calf grows up, I will definitely be able to sell more than this, I still have something to do, so I will leave first." He Huan stuffed the silver into the man's hand, then reached out and led the cow away.
When the cow is gone, the calf will immediately follow.
Later, Gao Qi and his father Gao Huisheng looked at He Huan's back, folded their hands and bowed.
"I'll come. Fang took the rope from He Huan's hand, and the three of them led the two cows back to the general's mansion.
Under the surprised gaze of the gatekeeper, the cow pulled a bubble of hot cow on the steps of the door, which made He Huan very embarrassed, and could only smile at them, urging the fangs to pull it away.
Pulling the cow to the stable in the backyard and tethering it to the horse, He Huan took a lot of grass and put it in front of the cow, "Eat, eat, eat, you don't have to worry about eating when you get here, you can have milk for the calf, uh, and I drink." ”
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she suddenly had a bold idea.
"Fang, go find a clean bucket. ”
He Huan beckoned Fang, and Fangfang quickly brought the bucket over.
He Huan took the bucket and went to the cow's belly, watching the calf eat so deliciously, he couldn't help but coax lightly, "Good, I'll borrow a little bit!"
As he spoke, He Huan stretched out his hand, and in the stunned gaze of the fangs, he took some milk out.
However, squeezing and squeezing, the cow seemed to be a little irritable, bent her hind legs, and kicked towards He Huan under her belly!
"Miss He Huan, be careful!" Fang exclaimed.
It's a pity that even if He Huan had already seen the cow's hooves, he didn't have time to react, and subconsciously took the bucket to block it, and the bucket was kicked away by the cow, and the whole thing was buckled on He Huan's head!
Midsummer and Fang hurriedly took the bucket away from He Huan's head, and saw that He Huan's whole person had turned milk-colored.
"This temper is really hard to describe. He Huan helplessly shook the milk on his head, and the milk on his face slipped to his lips, He Huan licked it subconsciously, well, the pure natural taste is different!
Fang and Sheng Xia looked at He Huan's appearance and behavior at the moment, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
He Huan pursed her lips and glared at them fiercely to show her embarrassment, "Laughing fart smile, let me tell you, laughing a lot, you grow old quickly." ”
After speaking, He Huan walked back briskly while shaking the milk on his body.
Midsummer hurriedly stopped laughing and pursed her lips to catch up with He Huan.
Fangs looked at the two cows He Huan bought, thought of what had just happened on the street, and strode to Bai Qi's study.
Thanks to the blessing of the cow, He Huan took a beautiful milk bath, and she felt that she was now exuding the fragrance of milk all over her body, which smelled very good.
"Girl, your skin is so slippery. While rubbing He Huan in the bath, Qiu Se generally said with envy.
"When the cow gets fatter in the future, I'll give you a milk bath to nourish your skin. He Huan happily raised his arm, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, it smelled so good.
After taking a shower, He Huan took some things and went to the kitchen.
What she was going to make was, a mille-feuille cake.
It shouldn't be said to be a simple version of a low-profile mille-feuille cake.
Think of it as a surprise for Mo Yu tomorrow.
However, He Huan looked at the huge iron pot in front of him, and suddenly he was a little at a loss.
"What do you want to do, Miss He Huan, the slave maid will do it for you. The pasta granny in the kitchen came over and said.
He Huan came back to his senses, "I just want to make a lot of thin egg cakes, very thin and thin." ”
The cook nodded, "This is very easy to do, girl, you watch." ”
Soon, the cook seemed to be a magic trick under He Huan's nose, and conjured dozens of thin and uniform egg cakes.
Looking at the round, orange egg cake in front of him, He Huan was really a little excited, "How did you do it, you must teach me next time you have the opportunity!" He Huan turned his head to look at the cook in surprise.
The cook said with trepidation, "This old slave doesn't dare to be, if the girl wants to learn, just say it at any time." ”
He Huan nodded repeatedly, turned around and took a bowl, and beat the egg whites in a large bowl.
Then I picked up three chopsticks and stirred them quickly in one direction.
"Miss He Huan, what are you doing?"
The other kitchen people also came around, looking at He Huan's actions in amazement.
He Huan pursed his lips and smiled, and said lightly, "It's delicious." ”
Seeing He Huan talking about making food, everyone in the kitchen couldn't help but surround him.
However, He Huan was beating, his wrist was sore and he didn't obey the call, put down his chopsticks and shook his wrist hard, raised his eyes and saw Sui Feng walking in, his heart moved, and he squinted and waved at him with a smile.
Sui Feng first paused, and then walked in.
"Do me a favor. ”
He Huan brought the bowl to Suifeng, "You beat ...... like this" said and gave him a serious demonstration of whipping.
Sui Feng nodded stunned and took the dishes and chopsticks in He Huan's hand, and stirred them up according to He Huan's demonstration just now.
Looking at the egg whites in the bowl that quickly took shape, He Huan's eyes were almost slits with laughter.
Blowing in the wind, she was busy adding things to it.
Finally, with the efforts of several people, the egg whites finally became what she wanted.
"Come on, I'll give you something to eat first. ”
He Huan smeared the beaten simple cream layer by layer on the egg pancakes that had been baked before, smeared more than a dozen sheets, and sprinkled some sugar on them.
"What is this, it looks good. The cook looked at He Huan's version of the mille-feuille cake in front of her and was very surprised.
"By the way, I haven't tried it yet. ”
He Huan picked up the knife, cut a small piece and handed it to Sui Feng, and didn't forget to praise it, "This is delicious." ”
Sui Feng stuffed the food into his mouth and nodded repeatedly.
"It's delicious. He Huan raised his eyebrows, looking proud.
Turning his head to look at the rest of the cake, He Huan took it out, deciding to let Bai Qi taste it, and asked him if he could make this for Mo Yu tomorrow.
He Huan cautiously took the cake to Bai Qi's study, and when he pushed the door open, he found that Bai Qi was not there.
looked at it, but didn't see Bai Qi's figure, He Huan held the cake, subconsciously turned around, and almost bumped into Bai Qi, who came back at an unknown time.
"Bai Qi, you're back, I have something good for you!" He Huan hurriedly hid the cake behind him, and looked up at Bai Qi with his hands behind his back.
