But she had already been ordered by her grandfather and mother's ear, how dare she accept benefits.

Hurriedly shook his head: Thank you, I've had enough, enough.

She still knows that she eats people and has a soft mouth.

Xu Pozi saw her hiding around with a bowl on her face, her face was unnatural, and she knew that this young girl was afraid that she was guarding against her, and she immediately understood.

"Hehe, don't be afraid, I just wanted to ask you something."

said, without waiting for Li Xiufeng to ask, Mrs. Xu said directly: "I see where did you buy the snow-white sugar you put in it?" And where did you buy the white noodles you eat? I just saw you eat that thing, it's crispy and fragrant, did you buy it too? ”

asked a few questions in a row, but the doubts in her heart were all said.

Li Xiufeng didn't expect this mother-in-law to ask this, and she didn't dare to say anything else, so after thinking about it, she only said one: "I don't know about sugar and noodles, but the pine nuts you are are brought by ourselves." ”

When Mrs. Xu heard this, a trace of loss flashed on her face.

However, the matter of the pine nuts can be solved immediately.

Mrs. Xu smiled at Li Xiufeng and pretended to be kind to her: "Girl, you might as well ask your mother, what kind of pine nuts did your family bring to sell to me?" ”

"You want to buy it?"

Li Xiufeng's eyes widened in surprise, and she was surprised that the other party actually wanted to buy pine nuts.

Although Dani also mentioned that the two baskets of pine nuts were sold, they still planned to wait until they were done here, and then find an opportunity to sell them in the county town!

Now, someone has come to the door.

The surprise on Li Xiufeng's face was replaced by joy, and without waiting for Mrs. Xu to speak again, she hurriedly got up: "You wait, I'll ask." ”

With that, he ran back to the stove with a bowl and pedals.

Chai Shuiqing and Zhao hadn't finished eating, and the two of them were also paying attention to Li Xiufeng who ran outside, and when they saw her running in in a hurry, they thought she had finished eating.

"Is it enough? Add some meat? ”

Chai Shuiqing took the bowl and was going to get her bowl to serve it.

Li Xiufeng handed over the bowl with a smile and did not refuse: "I'm not here to ask for meat to eat, it's Granny Xu who wants to buy your pine nuts." ”

She's talking about your pine nuts.

Chai Shui Qingsheng's hand was a little surprised, and then he thought of the banquet here, and suddenly understood.

"You let her in!"

It was meant to be bought, and it would be easy to sell it directly to Mrs. Xu.

Li Xiufeng didn't serve the bowl anymore, ran out in a hurry, and when she came back, she was followed by Mrs. Xu with a smile on her face.

"Granny Xu wants to buy pine nuts? We brought two baskets, about 100 pounds. ”

At first, Mrs. Xu thought that they would bring a few dozen catties at most, but she didn't expect to bring such an old one.

However, when I thought of the generosity of the main family, I felt that the main family had a big door, and it would not be a problem to eat 100 catties of pine nuts.

"Then the price ......"

She had seen this thing of pine nuts, after all, she was the one who helped in the kitchen, but she had seen it in a restaurant, and it was a rare thing.

Mrs. Xu is not worried about Chai Shuiqing shouting the price, but it is just food, where can it be expensive!

Chai Shuiqing thought that this was the county seat of Xijun, and it was not comparable to the price of Qingyang Town, so he thought about it and did not take the lead in throwing out the price.

"I haven't sold this either, so it's better for you to make a price, Granny Xu. If it's feasible, sell it, and if it's wrong, we'll discuss it, can this be done? ”

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Xu saw that Chai Shuiqing was not as simple as it seemed.

If it is an ordinary girl, she will naturally shout out at a fixed price and then pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other.

But the girl in front of her actually asked her to make a price.

Mrs. Xu was a little embarrassed, and said that she needed to communicate with the old lady, and went out.

Li Xiufeng watched Mrs. Xu go out blankly, and looked at Chai Shuiqing suspiciously: "Is she buying it or not?" Li Xiufeng always felt that this business was not very stable.

Zhao looked at his daughter's stupid appearance, and smiled without saying a word.

After the meal, the three of them were busy again, and the rest of the big kitchen began to do the work at hand, and the kitchen was in full swing.

The county town, the horse house!

Received the lo-mei sent by the Li patriarch before, which made Ma Hongye excited.

The old man knew in his heart how hard the events of the year had hit his junior brother, but this was the first time in decades that he had sent food.

Ma Hongye, who was happy, didn't feel that he had drunk too much, and he muttered that he wanted to go to the other courtyard to see his junior brother, but was persuaded by Mrs. Ma.

It wasn't until the next day that Ma Hongye had a headache and suddenly remembered that he had forgotten a major event.

"Hurry up and prepare the carriage, master, I'm going to the other courtyard!"

Saying that, Ma Hongye was served by Mrs. Ma, and after a few simple bites, the old man was in a hurry to set off.

Before leaving, Ma Hongye went back to his workshop to get some things, and instructed Mrs. Ma: "What about the medicinal materials and silver tickets that you put away in the previous days?" Take them all. ”

As soon as Mrs. Ma heard that she wanted those things, she immediately understood the importance of the matter and hurried to prepare.

The carriage hurried to the other courtyard, leaving only the old lady Ma's eager eyes to see her off with some expectation.

Patriarch Li was a little bored, Ma Zhong had already been instructed by his master, and he saw that Patriarch Li was in a good mood in the past two days, and asked him to send food to his master.

Thinking of this, Ma Zhong said to Patriarch Li: "Elder Li, there is a workshop in this house, if Elder Li passes the time, you can go to the workshop." ”

As soon as Patriarch Li heard about the workshop, he thought of Ma Hongye.

Then he thought of the Ma family's arrangement, so he nodded and asked him to lead the way.

The workshop of the Ma family's courtyard is located in the second backyard, which is obviously deliberately chosen because of the seclusion of the place.

Ma Zhong knew that his master attached great importance to this Li Lao, so he didn't dare to say much, let him be casual, so he sent tea and snacks and retreated.

Patriarch Li looked at the house that was twice as large as his carpentry shop in Hedong Village, and his heart was a little complicated for a while.

If he endured it back then, wouldn't his family have to follow him to live a hard life? Isn't it true that the lady will not leave him because of the accumulation of work?

These doubts aggravated the self-blame in Patriarch Li's heart.

The arrogance of youth, and the stubbornness that can't stand being wronged, seem to be in old age, in the face of the eager eyes of children, everything becomes worthless.

Patriarch Li walked to the rows of shelves, looking at the delicately carved objects in front of him, his heart seemed to be surrounded by countless emotions, and the grains were sour.

In addition to all kinds of carved finished ornaments, there are also wooden machine tools and other tools in the room.

Of course, there are also a lot of various kinds of wood.

Patriarch Li looked at the wood that had already been processed, no matter how rare the material was, he didn't get his hands on it.

I don't know if it's been looking at it for a long time, or what, Patriarch Li looked around, and suddenly raised his head and blinked, as if he wanted to hold back the wetness in his eyes.

I was about to go out, but when I turned around, the door of the workshop was pushed open from the outside.

Ma Hongye walked in excitedly, he couldn't wait or have time to report it, he just wanted to tell his junior brother all the problems in his heart.

Patriarch Li looked at the person in front of him whose face was flushed with excitement, and he was a little surprised that his mood was so unstable.

"You're ......"

Ma Hongye grabbed Patriarch Li's sleeve, just like he used to do many years ago.

"Yinglian, you come with me, let's go to the study to talk."

At this moment, where can Ma Hongye take care of anything else, he pulled Patriarch Li and walked out, explaining as he walked: "I've been so happy these days, I have forgotten what you told me, big things, big things, you come with me." ”
