Chapter 53: Introduction to the Acacia Tree
Song Laoqi's speed was beyond Lin Jinxiu's expectations.
Lin Jinxiu circled around Song Laoqi's office, stretched out his hand to pinch this, and moved that, although he didn't understand these building materials, he could still see how good or bad the quality was.
After turning around, he happened to meet with the Lin family, "Dad, you know more about these, what do you think?" ”
Lin Shijia nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad." ”
Receiving the affirmation of the Lin family, Lin Jinxiu breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately walked in front of Song Laoqi.
Li Aiju and Lin Xiaomin also turned around, but they couldn't see anything. At this moment, Lin Jinxiu's words were heard.
"Uncle Song, you don't have to change it, just use these." Lin Jinxiu smiled and said, "I don't know how much these are in total?" ”
Song Laoqi smiled, "Green bricks are used the most, so the most expensive, it is fifteen taels, and those mortar wood are cheaper, a total of ten taels of silver, plus some others, a total of thirty-five taels." ”
Thirty-five taels? Li Aiju's eyes couldn't help but widen, this is the family's expenses for more than two years, and these materials are worth so much money?
This Song Laoqi shouldn't really deceive Xiu'er, right?
Thinking of this, Li Aiju was about to stand up and speak, Lin Jinxiu had already noticed the change in her mother's expression, and before Li Aiju could speak, she had already said, "Okay, Uncle Song, here are forty taels, you can take a look, if there is no problem, you will give the money to the seller's boss." ”
"Splendid girl, it's thirty-five taels ......" Song Laoqi said and suddenly understood what Lin Jinxiu meant, and hurriedly took out the extra five taels of silver and handed it to Lin Jinxiu, "Splendid girl, you can take this money." ”
"Uncle Song, you can't let you run errands in vain, this money is for your tea." Lin Jinxiu smiled and refused.
"How's that going to work?" Song Laoqi still insisted, "Although I, Song Laoqi, love money, but a gentleman loves money in a good way, I take what I should take, and I don't take what I shouldn't, and I won't take a penny." ”
Lin Jinxiu liked this person's temper a little, nodded, and put the money into his purse, "Okay, Uncle Song, then I still have to work for you." ”
"Why don't you go with me to meet the boss and check the terms of the accounts?" After all, it's thirty-five taels of silver, why is this girl's heart so big?
Lin Jinxiu shook her head and said with a smile, "With Uncle Song here, I can rest assured, everything is handed over to you, I believe in you." ”
It's not so much that I believe in Song Laoqi, but that I believe in my own vision.
But Song Laoqi froze in place, and something seemed to be surging in his heart. It turned out that there were no proprietors who let them have full authority to deal with the matter of building a house, but when it came time to pay the money, those proprietors always pulled out all kinds of reasons to ask others to follow or follow themselves. After all, it's a matter of money, and Song Laoqi doesn't care much about it.
But for the first time, some people say that believing in oneself is truly and completely giving oneself full agency.
Song Laoqi didn't know why his eyes were a little astringent, could it be that he was old?
"Uncle Song, can we start work tomorrow?" Lin Jinxiu didn't notice Song Laoqi's strange appearance, looked at the open space in front of him and said.
"Nature." Song Laoqi opened his mouth, felt that his throat was a little astringent, and coughed, "If you are in a hurry, you can start work this afternoon." ”
Lin Jinxiu suddenly turned her head.
Song Laoqi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Splendid girl, if you start work this afternoon, it will be counted as one day when combined with yesterday's working hours, so don't get paid this afternoon." ”
Is this Song Laoqi so real? Can such a real person continue to do business? Lin Jinxiu had some doubts in her heart.
What Lin Jinxiu didn't know was that Song Laoqi would only become so real when he was working with real people.
"Alright, let's start this afternoon." Li Aiju hurriedly said, since you don't want to be paid, it will naturally start this afternoon.
"Mother." Lin Jinxiu looked at her mother's impatience, and shook her head helplessly, "Uncle Song, let's start tomorrow, everyone will bring these materials, it took a lot of effort to think about it, building a house is not a matter of urgency, it will start tomorrow." ”
Song Laoqi felt more and more that this girl had a delicate heart, and sighed in admiration, "Splendid girl, if you become a big boss in the future, how blessed your workers will be with you." ”
Hearing this, Lin Jinxiu smiled, "Uncle Song, if I become a big boss, you can follow me to work." ”
"Haha, that's a good feeling." Song Laoqi smiled heartily, but there was a joke between his words, "That splendid girl, you have to work hard to be a big boss......"
"Okay." Lin Jinxiu smiled faintly, but nodded seriously.
Song Laoqi was joking, but looking at Lin Jinxiu's delicate little face full of seriousness, he couldn't help but be a little moved, does this girl really have any plans? I'm really curious.
Thinking of this, he was about to ask, but he heard Lin Jinxiu smile and said, "Uncle Song, if you don't send the money again, I'm afraid that the owner's shop will be closed." ”
"Look at my memory." Song Laoqi patted his head, "Okay, okay, I'll send it here." ”
While speaking, Song Laoqi had already strode out of the honey locust forest.
There was only a family of four left in the woods.
"Xiu'er, my mother has always been curious." Li Aiju was a little cautious and curious, "You have built a house here, what kind of business are you going to do?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of Lin Shijia and Lin Xiaomin also looked at it instantly.
"Sister, although the open space here is large, the wild trees around it grow very quickly, and they will probably grow to the roof in less than half a year, and they will ...... when the time comes."
Looking at Lin Xiaomin's scratching of his ears and cheeks, Lin Jinxiu smiled, "This tree is alive, and people are also alive. ”
Hearing this, Lin Xiaomin nodded sneeringly and smiled innocently, "That's right." ”
"Daddy, Xiaomin, you come with me." Lin Jinxiu led the three of them to the bottom of the honey locust tree, reached for a long green soap horn, and put it in the palm of his hand.
The three of them looked puzzled.
"It's called soaphorn." Lin Jinxiu put it under her nose and sniffed it, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "Don't look at it so inconspicuous, but it has many uses, it can be used for washing clothes, and it can be used for medicinal purposes......"
Lin Xiaomin's face was shocked and incredulous, "Sister, this wild forest ...... No, there are so many benefits to this soap horn? ”
Lin Shijia and Li Aiju were also full of disbelief.
Lin Jinxiu smiled and nodded, "Yes, it does have many uses, but it requires a certain process to refine it, which is very time-consuming, not only that, but these honey locust tree trunks can also be used to make some handicrafts, so they can be called treasures all over their bodies." ”
"The so-called legendary treasure of the old man guarding the forest is probably this forest."
