Chapter 10: An Unexpected Visitor
"Who told you that someone from my house is here, who is here?" Lin Mei bent down and asked the little boy.
"I don't know who came, I came by carriage, Brother Shanzi asked me to tell you, let you go home quickly." The little boy snorted after speaking.
After listening to Lin Mei, yes, this is not clear, and she has to hurry home to take a look.
The two sisters trotted home, and there were already many villagers pointing at the door, and a carriage was parked at the door, and some people were carrying things down from the carriage.
Lin Mei didn't ask anything, and ran directly into the house with the peach.
"Last time, thanks to the grace of Engong for saving his life, Xiaosheng should have come to the door in time to thank him, but he suffered from the cold, and he was bedridden when he went home, and when he was fine, he hurriedly asked someone to inquire. Xiao Qiming clasped his fists and saluted Daddy Lin.
"Xiao Gongzi, you're polite, but I don't know what happened to the door today?"
Xiao Qiming asked the scholar to bring things in, "In order to express Xiaosheng's gratitude, I specially prepared some wine and medicinal herbs, and asked Engong to accept it with a smile." ”
"Xiao Gongzi, it's too polite, the matter of saving people just happened to happen, the so-called saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, don't mention this matter again in the future, don't mention it again." Daddy Lin waved his hand.
This is the person who was besieged by wolves, listening to his words, he should be a scholar, but I don't know what he looks like, Lin Mei said.
"Dad, this is ......," Lin Mei asked.
"Xiao Gongzi, this is my family daughter and little daughter, Meizi, I've met Xiao Gongzi quickly."
Lin Mei just learned to salute Liu Yue, and now she is learning and selling, and Peaches also learned from her sister to give Xiao Gongzi a salute.
"Meizi, quickly pour tea for Xiao Gongzi." Daddy Lin said.
said that it was pouring tea, but in fact, it was just a bowl of cold and white, and Lin Mei had never seen a trace of tea since she came to this house.
But Lin Mei still brought a bowl of water and put it on the small table next to Xiao Qiming, and took the opportunity to glance at it a few times.
Wow, it's so good-looking, if it were by the standards of the previous life, this would be the ancient version of Xiao Xianrou, this is a man who is better than a woman, do you want people to live...... Lin Mei roared inwardly.
In order to avoid irritation, Lin Mei decided to hide in the kitchen and not come out, this Xiao Gongzi looked like a child of a rich and noble family, how could he see the farmer's meal, seeing that it was about to be the meal, it was estimated that he would leave after a while.
Lin Mei looked at the little half of the winter melon left in the kitchen, and then looked at the dried vegetables...... God, let it rain a little more, my little cabbage, eggplant, spinach, cucumber, pumpkin...... Lin Mei prayed from her heart that the vegetables in the field would grow quickly.
Sure enough, as soon as Lin Mei steamed the nest, Peaches ran to tell her that the good-looking brother was gone.
"Let's go, let's go......" Lin Mei said indifferently.
"Daddy asked you to go." Peach Road.
"Then you look at the fire, be careful not to burn yourself, I'll come when I go." Lin Mei took off her apron and went to the hall.
Father Lin sat on the chair in the hall because of his inconvenient legs and feet. Seeing Lin Mei coming in, she said, "Meizi, order something, write it down, and then pack up the things and put them away." ”
"Hey......," Lin Mei agreed.
Lin Mei looked at the pile of things, began to count them, and then said to Daddy Lin: "The things are still very well prepared, it is estimated that it took a lot of effort, four jars of wine, a box of gastrodia, notoginseng, and angelica, these are all for you; Six pieces of cotton, dark blue is estimated to be for you, green is estimated to be for Shanzi, carmine and pink are definitely for me and peaches, and two black are made of pants or uppers. In addition, there are four boxes of good luck for Babao Zhai. ”
"It seems that it took a lot of effort to inquire, and it is rare to have a heart, so put it away." Father Lin said with emotion.
"Dad, you said that these things must be worth twenty taels of silver." Lin Mei asked.
"For those three boxes of medicine, it is estimated that it will cost twenty taels of silver, and I estimate that it will cost thirty taels of silver." Daddy Lin estimated.
Lin Mei knows that Panax notoginseng is a good thing, stopping bleeding, removing stasis, and relieving pain, in the previous life, people called North ginseng, South Panax notoginseng, ginseng is the first to replenish qi, and notoginseng is the first to replenish blood. Polished into powder, also known as Tian Qi powder, gold is not exchanged, it can be eaten and supplemented, or it can be taken directly with warm water, for Daddy Lin, this is really a good medicine.
"Dad, it's just a matter of putting away the other medicinal herbs, it's just that this notoginseng is very good for you, I'll let Shanzi take the time to grind it into powder later, you take a little every day, it will be very helpful for your leg injury recovery." You see. Lin Mei asked.
As soon as he heard that it was helpful for the recovery of his legs, Father Lin was reluctant to use it, but he became more urgent. "Okay, listen to you, but I'd better keep some of such a good thing in case I need it later."
Not to mention, Jiang is old and spicy, it is estimated that Daddy Lin never dreamed that his case would really work, and he also helped a lot and got a great favor.
For the four boxes of Babao Zhai's wishful luck, Father Lin remembered that his children had never eaten it, so he took the initiative to open a box and give everyone a taste.
Not to mention, Lin Mei tasted a bite of soybean crisp and fell in love with this taste, it is not sweet or greasy, it melts into slag in the mouth, and the aftertaste is incomparable. Lin Mei is thinking that the wisdom of the ancients is powerful, this soybean crisp can't be seen from the appearance that it is made of soybeans, but a bite is a stimulation of the taste buds, bursting with the aroma of soybeans and dancing happily in the mouth.
Wait, soybeans...... Why didn't I think that soybeans can be made into tofu, bean sprouts, these are all vegetables, and the key is that they can also be sold.
The Lin family has never grown soybeans, so there are no soybeans at home, Lin Mei is a man of action, and plans to go to the town in the afternoon to buy some soybeans and lime back.
"Dad, I want to go to town in the afternoon to buy some soybeans and gypsum and come back to make tofu." Lin Mei said.
"Making tofu? But we don't have a stone mill at home. Daddy Lin was a little surprised, and said strangely: "You can make tofu?!"
Oops, forgetting about this, Lin Mei was worried about how to fool the past, "It seems that I have heard someone talk about it before, and I can't remember who it is for a while." ”
When Father Lin heard this, he thought that it was estimated that Grandma Gu had taught Meizi before, but Meizi forgot about it, so he didn't ask anymore. He also took the initiative to tell the Tian family in Meizi Village that there was a stone mill, and it should be okay to rent it for some money.
"There is also the matter of Shanzi's private school, you just take Shanzi to the master's house in the afternoon to ask, Shanzi is so big, I don't know if the master will accept it, if you accept it, tomorrow you will catch the market, and tomorrow you will go to the town, and you will have everything that should be done, so as not to run again." Daddy Lin actually wanted to say in his heart that if he didn't accept it, he would cut off this thought as soon as possible.
"Or ginger is old and spicy, these can be thought of, sure enough, the ancients often said that there is an old man in the family, like a treasure." As the saying goes, thousands of clothes are worn, and sycophants are not worn, Lin Mei's sycophants make Daddy Lin feel comfortable.
In the afternoon, considering that the master and son would take a nap in case of noon, Lin Mei decided to go back to the master's house at the right time.
Lin Mei thought that if she went to study, she would have to make two decent clothes. "Shanzi, come here. Sister will measure your size. ”
Lin Mei measured the size, then took out a green cotton cloth and began to cut. Lin Mei was good at handicraft in her previous life, although she had never made real clothes, but she did a lot of work for dolls. Coupled with the memory of the original owner, it is still no problem to make a dress, as long as you don't embroider, it should be possible to make it in a day's work.
Shanzi saw that there was not much water in the tank, so he said hello to Lin Mei and went to carry water.
