Chapter 47: Lily's Vinegar Shop
It was already noon when Thorne returned to the castle, and when he walked into the house drunk, he saw Fuyana practicing swords in the martial arts arena from a distance, and couldn't help but sigh, it was the first time he saw this little slippery head take the initiative to practice swords, and today the sun really came out of the west.
"Sir Thorne. ”
Fuyana finished practicing a set of movements as if no one was around, wiped the sweat with the white towel around her neck, and noticed that Thorne was not far behind.
"Little Miss, why didn't you go out to play today, I just saw the servant throw away your old cloak, shouldn't I punish her?" Thorne said, taking a sip of wine.
"I asked her to throw it away, from today onwards, I won't sneak away to play, it's time to practice hard and help my sister, but I can't be the same as my second brother." Fuyana said calmly, but the words she said made Thorne stunned, this turned out to be what the little witch of the Winter family said?
"Oh, is it because of that guy named Donkey?" Thorne raised his eyebrows: "If it's him, I think Miss you may have misunderstood something, I went to investigate it privately yesterday......"
"Sir Thorne, everything I do has nothing to do with him, don't get me wrong, he's just a passerby from my experience some time ago. I'm a nobleman, he's a commoner, we won't cross paths in the future, and I don't want to hear his name from today. Fuyana interrupted Thorne, put the rapier back on the sword stand, untied the ribbon that bound her hair, and draped her smooth hair over her shoulders, and turned to leave the arena.
Watching Fuyana leave like she was running away, Thorne touched her chin and felt a little funny. If a man really treats another person as a guest, how can he be afraid to hear his name, O lovely young lady, I am afraid you don't care?
But one sentence is true, nobles and commoners, your world really shouldn't intersect, and continuing to maintain it will inevitably end in tragedy. The fate of an accident was born, since the young lady is determined to forget, it can save a lot of trouble.
Thorne shook the flask, took a sip of wine, took a sip of wine, yesterday's incident was a dream, hehe, my little miss, even if you ask me in the future, I won't tell you the truth.
"Fate is always sensitive and fragile. Thorne seemed to be quite emotional, and staggered away from the arena.
......
After the rain, there are no rainbows, just ice.
A palm-thick layer of ice covered the streets, the carriage walked cautiously, and the town hall sent someone to clear the ice early, but unfortunately the speed was not ideal, and this heavy rain was both a novelty and a nuisance for Winterfell.
And this kind of trouble will expand a lot in the homeless.
When Tang Qi found his old friend, the lame middle-aged homeless Bit, he was in a bad condition, huddled in the corner of a restaurant, his shabby clothes stuffed with hay to keep out the cold, but it didn't work well, the cold cracked his ears, and his heels were a little erosive.
If he continued like this, he would freeze to death, and Tang Qi bent down and draped his clothes over him. He thinks he's not a good person and has no desire to help the poor, but Bit once helped him at the station, chatted happily, and was a friend.
He took out the healing ointment he had with him from his pocket, picked it with his hand, and applied it to the bit's ear.
"Thank you...... I'll do it myself. ”
The temperature of the cotton coat made Bit come alive, and he said with a shudder.
Tang Qi gave him the healing ointment, and he took the ointment and applied it to the frost cracked area.
"Tang Qi, what do you want to know, I'm afraid I can't help you. The exposed parts were frozen and cracked, and Bit smiled bitterly while applying: "This severe cold came suddenly, and many homeless people froze to death, and those who didn't die didn't dare to go out in this weather." ”
Tang Qi was silent, to be honest, having taken the Ice Lizard Flower and the Frost Scale Fruit, his feeling for this cooling was only to see his mother and Louise add two clothes, and he didn't think that it would be such a disaster for the homeless:
"Isn't there a policy at the town hall?"
Bit smiled miserably: "Yes, the nobles have established five cold shelters, which can only accept homeless people under the age of twelve, or female vagrants under the age of twenty-five. ”
Hearing this, Tang Qi sighed, it is really the style of the aristocracy, these cold shelters are simply the property in their pockets, and they are highly malleable under the age of twelve, and they can select and train guards, dead soldiers, and young female wanderers......
"A lot of eligible homeless people don't want to go to cold shelters. Bit smiled reluctantly: "It's okay, we're very hard." ”
Tang Qi was silent for a moment: "I want you to help me inquire about someone, she is also a homeless person, about ten years old, she is a girl, she used to haunt the station, stealing things, and she used to seem to be a nobleman." ”
"I can provide you with 10 sets of warm clothing, which is the limit of what I can do. ”
Tang Qi didn't say much, he had the ability to provide more, and the clothes were not particularly expensive, but he knew very well that in the absence of the ability to help everyone, he had to know the truth of Shengmien and fighting Mi Qiu.
"Really! That's great!" Bit said in surprise.
"Well, tomorrow at noon, you take someone to the vicinity of the station, and I'll bring my clothes. Remember to find someone you can trust and trust. Tang Qi laughed.
"No problem, I'll go find someone. Bit was thrilled and patted his chest in agreement.
Saying goodbye to Bit, Tang Qi mentioned the single coat, he gave the coat to Bit, only wearing the single clothes, it was indeed a little cold. The pace couldn't help but speed up a lot, and it didn't take long for the small shop where the family came into view.
Looking at the brewing hotel in the city, the corners of Tang Qi's mouth were hooked, and the gloomy mood was swept away.
It seems that the vinegar business is really as Lily said in the letter, the business is good.
Walking into the brewing hotel, the heavy wooden door closed the chill tightly, and Tang Qi warmed up again. There were a lot of people crowded at the front desk, and Tang Qi could only see Lily's little head dangling, and when he saw that she was busy, he sat down on a chair in front of the door to rest.
Tsk, it seems that my marketing skills are not weak, Tang Qi crossed his legs and thought, leaflets, an old-fashioned method on the earth, actually work so well. Of course, the value of vinegar itself is the most important, otherwise no matter how much false advertising there is, it is useless to brag about it......
"Phew, these bastards, they're coming too early. ”
At this time, a round chef sat down next to Tang Qi, picked up the teapot and poured hot tea into his mouth, and greeted Tang Qi: "Hello, my name is Tim, and I run a fresh fish restaurant on Bellow Street. ”
"Hello. Tang Qi nodded.
Tim is a self-cook: "You're here to buy vinegar too, vinegar is such a good thing, the effect is excellent, I have bought it several times, this time I plan to buy ten bottles in one go." ”
"Oh, I guess Mr. Tim has been doing a good business lately. Tang Qi laughed.
Tim patted his stomach: "That's it, there are several times more guests than before, I can't keep myself busy, and I have hired two apprentices." ”
"Business is booming. Tang Qi congratulated.
"Haha, friend, I see that you and I are destined, and I will tell you secretly, I was the first guest to buy vinegar, and on a snowy night, the boss was moved to cry. Tim whispered mysteriously: "So, I still have a little friendship with the boss, if you need it, my brother will help you buy vinegar, maybe it can be cheaper." ”
Seeing that he had become an older brother, Tang Qi couldn't cry or laugh, and just wanted to explain that he didn't buy vinegar, when a crisp voice suddenly came from the front.
"Big Brother Tang Qi!"
