But I don't know much about spices and essential oils, so I just bought this one and gave it to Jinyao. I think she can use it when she reads medical books at night. ”

Su Jinyao looked at the smoker in Sophie's hand, and her heart was very moved. It's rare that Sophie also has a heart, and she even knows that she is thinking about herself.

Su Jinyao hurriedly nodded and said, "I like this, eldest sister, you really understand me, from style to color, it is all to my liking." ”

"Jin Yao just can talk." Sophie smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "The eldest sister knows that you have always been thinking about me and taking care of the whole family. If I don't show some care to you again, I don't deserve to be your big sister at all. ”

"Eldest sister, what you said is serious. Didn't the second sister always say that we are a family, how can we be so clear. Xiao Cheng'er didn't wait for Su Jinyao to speak, so he took over the conversation and said, "Since we all know how good the second sister is, don't talk about it." In the future, we will all be good to the second sister, just do it. Second sister, you said yes, right? ”

"Yes, Xiaocheng'er is right, we are a family, we must be good to Jinyao." Su Xiangui also nodded in approval.

Su Jinyao drove the car, and her heart was so sweet that she didn't know what to say. She could only shake the whip in her hand with a "pop" sound, and the sound was crisp, as if she happily set off a firecracker.

The way home was much smoother and closer because of the laughter and warm words along the way. When they returned to Pingshan Village and walked along the road in the village, the curious and gossipy villagers almost surrounded them, and most of them looked at the wheelchair that Su Xiangui was sitting in and were amazed.

Some said: "That wheelchair looks good, this time Liu Da is convenient, and you can walk around inside and outside the house while sitting." ”

Some said: "This Su family has really made a fortune, right?" I heard that wheelchairs (tǐng) are expensive, and it is estimated that your family and my family's expenses for half a year are not enough to buy such a wheelchair. ”

Some people looked directly at Su Jinyao and said curiously: "After the stupid girl of the Liu family is healed, many of their Su family's (rì) sons have suddenly improved." Could it be that their stupid girl is a lucky star? ”

"Well, that's not a matter of time. Look at the second girl of the Liu family, she looks so beautiful. Now that I've eaten well, I'm white, and I seem to have grown taller, and I'll be a complete beauty embryo in two years. Such a girl, not to mention a lucky star, if she marries in the city in the future, she will also be a god of wealth. ”

Anyway, all kinds of things are being said, and there are people who say it. However, when they went out in the morning, these people studied Su Fei'er, and in the evening, they began to think about discussing Su Jinyao again. I guess this is the characteristic of a small mountain village.

Su Jinyao naturally ignored it completely, and only concentrated on driving her carriage, so that she didn't have to listen to these people shouting when she went home as soon as possible.

Su Xiangui and Sophie were also much calmer than when they went out in the morning. After all, this day is also an eye-opener in the bazaar, especially when people have money and a place to spend it, it is easier to regain self-confidence. So now, Su Xiangui and Sophie are full of confidence, who cares what those uninformed people in the village say. The carriage of the Su family almost walked back from the path in the village with its own halo, and when it came to the gate of the Su family, he saw that Niu (chūn) and Siping were there. There was also a young man in his twenties standing at the door, and there was a pair of baskets carried by a flat pole beside him, and the baskets were covered, and it was impossible to see what was inside.

However, this young man Su Jinyao didn't know him, and when he saw Su Xiangui, he was also puzzled, saying that he was not from Pingshan Village.

The servant stood at the door, and when he saw Su Jinyao coming back with the carriage, (chūn) Niu took the initiative to greet him, and said to Su Jinyao: "My mother's Aunt Li's son is here, bringing two baskets of game, saying that you promised their family to collect it." ”

Only then did Su Jinyao know that the young man was from Li Jiatun, the (chūn) girl's mother's family, and he was the Orion son of Aunt Li, who made clothes.

Su Jinyao nodded and said, "Yes, I told Aunt Li before, let their family help us collect game, all pheasants and hares, so that the meat dishes in the small water shop can be solved." The last time I brought back a few pieces of pickled wild boar (ròu), I also bought them from Aunt Li's family. ”

With that, the carriage had arrived at the door.

(chūn) Niu said to the young man: "Brother Li, this is the little proprietor, called Su Jinyao." In a moment, you can just give her all the game. Then he said to Su Jinyao: "His name is Li Dapeng, and he usually just calls him 'Brother Li'." ”

Su Jinyao pulled the horse to a stop and said to Li Dapeng: "I'm sorry, Brother Li, we went out today, so you have to wait for a long time." But I'll have to ask you to wait a little longer, and I'll settle my dad and settle it for you. ”

Li Dapeng nodded, and agreed humbly: "It's okay, it's okay, I didn't wait a while." When he looked at the car again, he saw that Su Xiangui was in a wheelchair, so he quickly picked up the flat shoulder at his feet, moved the basket to the side, and let go of the door. Then he came over and said, "I have the strength, do you need my help?" ”

Su Jinyao saw that Li Dapeng (tǐng) was real, and she also had a good impression, shook her head and smiled: "No need, there are wooden planks on the carriage, just set it up and push the wheelchair down." ”

However, Li Dapeng looked at Han, but he was very eye-catching. Seeing that Siping came over to help draw a wooden board and put it on the side of the carriage, he also quickly pulled out another wooden board and put it on the other side. He also tried to push it with his hand to see if it was stable, and then he dodged to the side and let Sophie and Xiaocheng'er push Su Xiangui down from the carriage.

Su Jinyao led the horse into the yard, and it was Xiaocheng'er and Sophie'er's business to move things and give Ma Xie (tào). Su Jinyao went to beckon (chūn) Niu and Siping, and Li Dapeng to come in.

Niu and Siping are not outsiders, so naturally they came in to help Sophie and them move things. Su Xiangui had a wheelchair, and he was already free to do it, and he could help carry some things, so he asked Xiao Cheng'er to put the jar of good wine on his lap, and he came to get it himself, so that Xiao Cheng'er or Sophie would not accidentally break it.

Su Jinyao asked Li Dapeng: "What kind of game did you bring this time?" Now that I'm free, I'll take a look. ”

Li Dapeng replied: "There are twelve pheasants, three hares, and two wild boar cubs, all in this basket. After that, he opened the lids of the two baskets, and then said: "They are all caught by the lower clamps, and there are also ropes (tào) (tào) to live, and the clamps are caught at the time and they die, and they don't look good, so I will tidy them up a little." ”

Su Jinyao looked at the two baskets, and saw that they were piled up in a mess, and some of them were still bloody. If it weren't for her boldness and seeing too much blood, she would probably be scared. Su Jinyao said, "Trouble Brother Li, you pick these things up and follow me to the backyard." Then let's put things out and see. ”

"Okay." Li Dapeng had no objection, and followed Su Jinyao to the backyard. Then he began to take out the pheasants, hares, and wild boar cubs one by one and lay them side by side on the ground.

When it is laid out like this, it looks much better than when it was in the basket before. However, some pheasant feathers are also messy, and the hare is not to be seen, because it is clamped, and even the skull is crushed. Li Dapeng said that he had sorted it out, but he just wiped the blood on the fur. But it wasn't wiped clean at all, and there were bloody scabs that stuck the fur together in large pieces.

Su Jinyao sighed when she saw it, and said, "Brother Li, there are a lot of things, it's really bad to be like this." In the future, you should not put all these prey in baskets, tie your feet with ropes, and hang them on a flat pole to carry them. ”

Li Dapeng scratched the back of his head when he heard this, and said, "Hehe, yes, when Orion goes down the mountain, don't they always tie their feet and pick the prey down the mountain like this." I gathered the things together and came straight to the basket. You see this is out of the way, right? 都 (tǐng) fresh too. ”

Su Jinyao said: "It's not in the way, I can also see that it is fresh." But if you put these things in order to look a little better, I can give you some extra money. It looks like it has to be discounted. Tell me, how much do these things cost? ”

Li Dapeng rubbed his hands, thinking that Su Jinyao was deliberately trying to lower the price, and said a little nervously: "When we collected it, we collected it according to 70 wen for a pheasant and 150 wen for a hare. The wild boar cubs are still too small, so they are also calculated according to the price of pheasants. Half of these things were collected from the other two families, and our family didn't have that much money to settle the bill, so each family gave fifty cents first, and then asked me to pick this place to settle the bill with you. Little owner, if you lower the price too much, how can I tell people when I go back? It's all things that I have been hunting for days on the mountain, and I sell them cheaply, so people might as well pick them up and sell them themselves. ”

After a pause, Li Dapeng said again: "I'm a very real person, I'll tell you how much I charge, I really don't want to raise the price, but I want to earn you a little money." ”

Su Jinyao knew that he had misunderstood, so she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "You are wrong, I don't want to lower the price." Since everything has been delivered, of course, I will settle the amount of money you have received. This was also said at the time, and I wouldn't deliberately find fault with it because of a little quality problem. You can rest assured of this. I'm asking you to tidy up your things next time, because I want your family to make more money. ”

After that, Su Jinyao calculated the accounts and said to Li Dapeng: "These things are a total of 1,430 yuan, and the difference is less than 12 yuan of silver. I'll give you one or two dollars, and the extra ten cents is the cost of the journey you sent. If you clean up this thing next time, I'll give you one more hard-earned money. ”

Li Dapeng originally thought that Su Jinyao would make efforts to lower the price, but he didn't expect that she not only collected it according to the original price, but also gave an extra ten yuan. Although I heard his mother say it before, it is not in vain to send a trip, and I will give money for foot power. But Li Dapeng felt that it was a lot to walk the mountain road with a burden, and he could give ten cents. You know, even if you go out to work and contribute, it's a few pennies of hard work.

Su Jinyao didn't talk much nonsense, took out one or two taels of silver and gave it to Li Dapeng, and asked, "Brother Li, how many days can you come?" I'll also divide and buy these things, lest you send game again, and I still have the last stock here that I haven't sold. ”

Li Dapeng took the silver, and his heart was still "thumping". This is silver, real silver. Usually sell mountain goods and game, and the people who come and go are copper plates. At most, give a penny, which is equivalent to one or two pieces of silver. But last time, his mother said that the little girl who came to their house to make clothes actually paid the bill directly with silver. I didn't expect to get the silver now, and I was very excited.

So when he heard Su Jinyao's question, he quickly replied: "Then tell me, little boss, how long is it appropriate for me to come?" If you get more here, I'll go into the mountain twice. You can rest assured that the game is fresh. ”

Su Jinyao thought for a while and said, "Come once every five days at most, after a long time interval, the guests here can't eat fresh, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to sell it out if the interval is less." It's best to set a time for delivery, no matter how much stuff you have, and I'll give you a kick money every time. ”

Li Dapeng pondered, as long as he came to deliver goods, he could earn ten cents, no matter how many things, it would be a good business. He nodded and said, "Then I'll come every five days." I also agreed with the other two that the time for entering and leaving the mountain should be fixed, so that they would not come out with game meat after I had just sent something here. However, if it rains, it doesn't matter if it rains lightly, if it rains for several days in a row during the rainy season, and the prey doesn't come out, and we don't have anything to deliver, I won't come. ”

Su Jinyao also knew this truth, nodded and said, "Okay, I know." If there is a wild egg or bird egg, I will take it. Also, snakes too. ”

Li Dapeng nodded his head and answered, then collected the basket, put it on with a flat pole and prepared to leave. However, he picked up the flat burden and thought about it, put it down again, and said to Su Jinyao: "Little owner, it's still early now, why don't I help you clean up all this game." I really didn't think of this before, and it made a mess. I see you're still a little girl, and you're definitely not very good at doing this, but I'm more skilled, and I'll be able to clean it up quickly. ”

Su Jinyao didn't expect Li Dapeng to put down the flat shoulder to say this, looked at the pheasants, hares and wild boar cubs on the ground, nodded and said, "That's okay, thank you Brother Li." If I clean up by myself, it will take me a long time, so I'll give you a shot now. However, I don't have to clean it all up, even the ones with the fur are kept, and I use it as a cover to show the guests to prove that I have game here. Clean up the rest and marinate it with salt so that it doesn't spoil. ”

After speaking, Su Jinyao rolled up her sleeves and first boiled a large pot of boiling water. Here Li Dapeng skinned the hares and wild boar cubs, and she brought a salt jar and began to apply salt. When the water was also boiling, Li Dapeng bleed and removed the pheasant, and Su Jinyao was responsible for helping to change the water and wash the dehaired pheasant, which was really a busy job.

Later, (chūn) Niu and Siping also came over to help. But Sophie was too timid to look at them, so she went to the kitchen to cook.

After all the game was packed up, Li Dapeng put away the hunting knife that Sui (shēn) was carrying, glanced at Su Jinyao, and said, "Little owner, I didn't expect you to work so neatly." ”

Su Jinyao said: "My family is poor, and I am used to doing these rough jobs. If I were just a hands-off shopkeeper, I wouldn't be happy to watch you busy yourself. ”

Li Dapeng smiled innocently, stood up and wiped his hands with a rag and said, "Okay, so I finally feel comfortable." If I do something wrong, I will always think about it, and I won't even be able to sleep well when I get home. Now there is a remedy, otherwise I would really not have gotten it. Little owner, I'm back, I'll come back in five days. Don't worry, next time I'll promise to clean up your prey. ”

Listening to Li Dapeng say this, it proves that this person still has a beginning and an end, knows what he did wrong, and knows how to remedy it. Doing business with such a person is (tǐng) worry-free.

Li Dapeng went out with an empty burden, and Su Jinyao suddenly remembered that she had bought several more pieces of fabric today. stopped him and said, "Brother Li, there is another matter, I also want to ask Aunt Li to help me make a few (tào) clothes." Do you want to take the fabric back directly, or do you go back and discuss with her and see if you can do it, and give me a letter next time you come? If Aunt Li is too busy, I can find someone else to do it. However, Aunt Li's needlework is really good, and if she can do it, I still want her to help with it. ”

Li Dapeng said, "How many (tào) do you?" I'd better go back and talk to my mother and write back again. ”

Su Jinyao said: "My father, my eldest sister and mine, one person does two (tào) is a total of six (tào)." Excuse me, Brother Li, help me ask. If Aunt Li says she can do it, I'd rather wait a few more days than be in a hurry to wear it. ”

Li Dapeng nodded and should come down. Then he carried his burden and left.

Su Jinyao went back and took the game that had been cleaned up before to a cool place next to the kitchen tank.

(chūn) Niu also came in and said, "Jin Yao, you have collected so much game at once, now it's okay, Xiaoshuipu finally doesn't have to sell only vegetarian vegetables." Today's business is so good, I made a total of two large pots of rice, and steamed three drawers of steamed buns, all of which were sold out. Needless to say, even the pickles were eaten. ”

Su Jinyao knew that Xiaoshuipu's business would get better and better, otherwise she would not have put her first project on that road. She knows very well that relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the road to eat the road; Now I'm guarding a road in the mountains, and I'm not so rich that I can't get rich!

After thinking about it, Su Jinyao said to the (chūn) girl again: "You can help me ask Siping, will digging a basement over there in the small water shop affect the structure of the house?" It is better to have a deeper basement for storage. In this way, the game we bring with us will be easier to preserve. ”

(chūn) Niu went out to ask Siping, and came back after a while. Hui Hui Jinyao said: "Siping said, it doesn't affect at all.
