Xia Li teased Aya'er and Xingwa, but listened to the adults' conversation with pointed ears. I think this fourth grandfather who turned a corner is not bad, reasonable, not greedy, and quite fair.

As the crowd spoke, there was another knock at the door.

Xingwa jumped happily and shouted loudly, "It's my mother, my mother came back from buying ice powder." ”

The fourth old lady went to open the door, and He walked in with a small basin.

Xingwa and Xia Aya both greeted happily, and their mouths were still shouting, "Mother, the eldest cousin and sister Li are here." ”

He Shi came in and smiled, "It's just right, I bought fresh food, and my aunt and girl Li also tasted it." And he said, "Ouch, I walked three streets, waited for half an hour, bought four bowls, and didn't buy many ......."

Xia Shi and Xia Li looked at the fresh food in the basin and laughed. The pot is filled with plain ice powder.

He divided it into six bowls, she didn't ask for it herself, and each bowl was only half a bowl.

Xia Shi and Xia Li couldn't give in, the two ate a bowl together, and the other bowl was divided between Xia Aya and Xingwa.

The mother and daughter sat for a while, tried their best to excuse the Xia family's stay, got up and left. They walked for more than two quarters of an hour before they came to Yixiang Restaurant.

asked Xia's meaning to eat a bowl of noodles directly at the stall, but Xia Li said that he wanted to conduct market research, so he had to follow.

Far away, I saw two large oil-paper umbrellas in front of Yixiang Restaurant, two Xiaoer selling ice powder, two tables full of people, and more than 20 people lined up under the scorching sun, some empty-handed, some holding bowls and basins.

The ice powder business is really good.

When I entered the restaurant, there was still a table in the hall. They sat down and asked for three taels of braised pork, a plate of pure golden and white jade slices, a bowl of red-billed parrot soup, and two bowls of rice. The golden white jade slice is actually the oil residue lotus white, and the red-billed green parrot soup is spinach soup, and the name is good.

Eating delicious meals and looking at the dishes on other tables, Xia Li was even less confident in selling recipes. Although her specialty dishes have a unique taste, they are not enough for people to spend more money on them. If you only earn a few taels of silver, it is better to keep it for the future and open your own restaurant.

When she was depressed, she heard a discussion at the next table, "...... My good man, a great serpent is worth six hundred taels of silver, and I have heard that many hunters have gone into the mountains in groups to hunt them. ”

Another voice, "The Golden Plate Python is only found in the mountains, and it is fierce and abnormal, so it is not easy to catch it." No matter how much money you want, you have to have a life to earn it. If you want me to say, what is the 600 taels of silver, Liu Gongzi's 5,000 taels of silver to find a dog, that is a big deal. ”

The previous voice said, "I said shopkeeper He, did that Liu Gongzi find the dog?" ”

Shopkeeper He went downstairs to them and sighed, "I haven't found it, everyone has already gone back to Xiangshan Mansion." It seems that Huzi should be more auspicious than lucky. If he is alive, he will rush to that reward, and no one can refuse it. ”

Everyone said yes. Someone else said bitterly that if someone beat the dog to death and ate it in his stomach, he would have to vomit out all the overnight food without regret.

Someone asked again, "What's the matter with six hundred taels of silver looking for a golden python?" ”

The shopkeeper He said, "The old lady of a big family in the provincial capital has a kind of wind pain, and her shoulder is red and swollen when she is windy, and the pain is so bad that no matter how many doctors you ask, it can't be cured." A doctor said a home remedy, one of which is the gall of the golden python, saying that although it will not break the root after eating, it can reduce the pain. ”

Hearing the conversation of those people, Xia Li shook the big snake with a green background and a golden flower in front of her eyes, and she didn't know if it was the golden python they said. However, when she saw the snake, it was night, and the position was still at the top of the mountain, and such a big snake should be extremely aggressive, even if she was bold, she would not dare to go into the mountain alone at night to fight the snake, even if she took it.

Some money can't be thought of!

After the shopkeeper finished talking to those people, he turned his head and saw a beautiful little lady smiling at him.

"Yo, little sister of the Xia family." Shopkeeper He greeted with a smile and walked to their table.

Xia Li and the others got up and saluted him, Xia Li smiled, "Shopkeeper He, the ice powder business is very tight." ”

Shopkeeper He smiled brightly and said, "Yes, thanks to you." It's hot now, and there are a lot of people buying ice powder. He added, "We had a very good time working together last time, and you will come back to me again when you have a good plan in the future." ”

Xia Li smiled, "Definitely." ”

A few people laughed a few words, and the shopkeeper He left.

After the mother and daughter finished eating, the two paid the bill, and Xiao Er said that the shopkeeper confessed, the restaurant invited guests, and gave them a salt-and-pepper duck.

Xia Li smiled modestly. The shopkeeper He is really a good businessman who remembers his feelings, and he must continue to cooperate in the future.

The salt-and-pepper duck was wrapped in oiled paper and put into Xia's back basket, and the mother and daughter went to the tooth shop.

I looked at two tooth rows in a row, but I didn't find a suitable boy. Most of the children are over seven years old, and this age can be a person, but it is not suitable to be a son. Only two boys were of the right age, one four and one five. The four-year-old is too wooden and doesn't look good, and the five-year-old has a disabled leg. Neither mother nor daughter was willing to buy them home as sons and brothers.

Buying a son is much more cautious than buying a person, and it is not suitable, so I would rather not buy it. Although Xia Li was very, very sympathetic to the two children, he was not a savior, just a little peasant girl, so he gritted his teeth and left.

The mother and daughter went to buy some white flour, brown rice, polished rice, a few feet of cloth, tooth powder and other daily necessities, and then walked out of the city. At this time, there was no ox cart to return to the village, so Xia Li insisted on hiring a donkey cart for fifty yuan.

It was nearly dusk when I got home. Seeing such a big duck, Xia wanted to cut it in half and take it to his father and brother to drink, but when he thought of adopting his son, he gave up again.

After a hard day, I only made two large bowls of noodles and ate them with salt and pepper duck. The salt and pepper duck is dark red in color, tender and delicious, and it is extremely delicious.

Xia Li remembered that the seasonings in the ancient times in the previous life were not complete, but this world was very complete, not only chili peppers, Sichuan pepper, various spices, and even white pepper. She also saw wild peppercorns on the mountain, and many villagers would pick them and eat them at home.

Dangdang came back on time in the evening. Seeing that it had meat stuffed between its teeth, Xia Li knew that it had already made a tooth sacrifice in the mountains. I only fed him half a bowl of noodle soup and a fragrant and angry duck leg, and bathed it and cleaned its mouth.

The next day, Erhu brought rhubarb to play, and Xia Li gave him another duck leg.

Erhu said that Xiao Yang was picked up yesterday. She knelt down and admitted her mistake to the old couple, crying that she would never scold her aunt and the girl next time.

I just said that I didn't scold, but I didn't say that I wasn't greedy.

Xia Li thought about a bad idea, when to secretly clean her up.

In a flash, in mid-June, Xia and Xia Li went to the county seat to walk around a few teeth, but they still didn't see a suitable boy, and they were disappointed.
