Chapter 104: Inspection

After three days of grooming and dressing, Liujia Village has a new look inside and out.

The villagers were dressed in two rows in two neat clothes, dressed in new clothes that had been reluctant to wear them.

Liu Li is patrolling back and forth with his hands behind his back, checking the clothes and outfits of the villagers, so strict that he does not let go of his nails.

The three-day tossing made the villagers cry bitterly, and many villagers came to Xu Xiaoxiao to complain.

Among them, the most talked about is that I don't want to take a bath every day, and I don't want to tidy up my house every day.

Xu Xiaoxiao listened helplessly, interjecting a few words of comfort from time to time, Liu Qiaoer couldn't get used to the villagers coming to annoy her for three days, and solved it on the grounds that she still needed to be busy with other work.

"Count the days, it's today, right?" Liu Qiaoer twisted her body and pulled the silver-patterned embroidered hundred butterfly flower skirt on her body.

Xu Xiaoxiao nodded with a smile, and stepped forward to help her loosen her belt, "Yes, Wang Duo came to report that they have arrived at the intersection, and they should be almost there." ”

As soon as the words fell, Wang Duo drove the carriage slowly towards the villa, and behind the carriage was a well-equipped soldier, and the soldiers were sandwiching the three carriages in front and behind.

The team stopped in front of the villagers of Liujia Village, Chu Qing took Chu Guo down from the carriage, and Chu Guo saw Xu Xiaoxiao and wanted to come forward to say hello but was pulled by the collar by Chu Qing with a serious face.

Chu Guo glanced at Chu Qing and stayed beside Chu Qing obediently, and the earl got out of the carriage with other officials.

The Earl, who had just dismounted, was attracted by the table placed in the middle of the tent, and he walked towards the long table.

"This is the table?" The Earl touched the pineapple table and couldn't put it down.

Seeing this, Xu Xiaoxiao hurriedly stepped forward and introduced, "Yes, Lord Earl, this is the table where we eat." ”

The Earl and the other officials looked at each other in shock.

"It's amazing how unique the table you eat at." As he spoke, the Count circled along the table, his gaze never leaving the table.

The officials stood aside and conversed in Western, pointing to the table and discussing quietly.

Liu Qiao'er approached Xu Xiaoxiao and said with disdain, "These dead foreign devils actually want to empty their gloves and white wolves." ”

Xu Xiaoxiao smiled and said nothing, and stepped forward to the earl's side, "Lord Earl, if you like this long table, I can give it to you." ”

Everyone present was puzzled when they heard this, and the discussion quietly sounded, especially the earl who looked at Xu Xiaoxiao with a vigilant gaze.

"Why did you give it to me?" The Count said vigilantly.

"There is a tradition in my country that whenever a guest visits, the host will send him something to take back to show the host's respect for the guest." Xu Xiaoxiao was not in a hurry or slow.

The earl fox hooked the corners of his mouth suspiciously, and looked at Chu Qing, "Lord Wang, why haven't I heard of such a tradition after I have been here many times?" ”

Chu Qing stepped forward with his hands behind his back and said with a gentle smile on his face, "This tradition only appears among the people, and this king has also heard of it a little. ”

When the earl heard Chu Qing say this, he completely let down his guard and believed it, "Then since the prince said so, then I might as well obey my orders respectfully and accept it." ”

The Western officials, who were originally discussing how to prostitute themselves to the long table for nothing, couldn't help laughing happily, and laughed at Xu Xiaoxiao in Western language.

Xu Xiaoxiao quietly came to the Western officials, looked directly at them, and then turned to look at the earl, "However, this long table will not be delivered to your country until ten days. ”

"Why?" The Count asked with a furrowed brow.

"Because the oil on the door of the long table has not yet dried, if it is rushed to your country, I am afraid that after a long journey on the road, it will lose its beauty." Xu Xiaoxiao came to the earl and nodded, making him look at his hand.

The Count looked up at it, and his palm was stained with brown fuel.

He waved his hand in disgust, and the official hurriedly took out his handkerchief and handed it to the earl.

"In that case, let's transport it in ten days." The Count said as he wiped the oil from his hands.

"Then Lord Earl, please pay 1,000 taels." Xu Xiaoxiao stretched out his hand and showed a sly smile, raising his eyebrows at Liu Qiao'er behind the earl.

Liu Qiaoer was angry because Xu Xiaoxiao sold the freshly made long table to Westerners without authorization, and after listening to Xu Xiaoxiao's words, she suddenly realized that she quickly covered her mouth and snickered.

This girl is really cunning.

The Earl was completely stunned and puzzled, "Why do you have to pay for it?" ”

"Miss Xu, has it changed?" The official snorted coldly and sneered.

"Don't get me wrong, it's just the cost of transportation, after all, the sea is not calm yet, and transportation requires a lot of risk." Xu Xiaoxiao is methodical.

"Hmph, that's how you do things, and you have to charge such a huge fee for giving things to people." The official waved his hand and turned around angrily.

Xu Xiaoxiao smiled gently, her eyes stared coldly at the Western official in front of her, "Our way of doing things is only for those who respect each other. ”

Hearing this, the official's face changed suddenly, and he looked at Xu Xiaoxiao in a panic, and the other officials present also looked embarrassed and lowered their heads in embarrassment.

They thought that no one would know about ridiculing Xu Xiaoxiao in Western language, but who knew that the other party could hear Western language.

The Earl stood on one side and completely understood Xu Xiao's approach, it turned out that his own mouth was insulting the other party without words.

"Little girl, apologize for their rude behavior." The Earl bowed and apologized to Xu Xiaoxiao with one hand on his chest.

"I accept your apology, Lord Earl, and this fee will be a friendly gift for us." Xu Xiaoxiao spread out his hands and twisted the corners of his skirt respectively, bent slightly towards the earl and nodded, and tapped the back of his right foot.

The Earl was surprised when he saw this, "Little girl, you know our etiquette."

"I know a little bit about it." Xu Xiaoxiao retracted his posture and smiled.

Chu Qing stood beside him, staring at Xu Xiaoxiao, who exuded a confident glow on his body, and didn't wake up until Wang Duo whispered in his ear.

He coughed awkwardly, and walked towards the Earl and Xu Xiaoxiao with a gentle smile on his face.

"Since it's a misunderstanding, why don't we continue to check the countryside." Chu Qing made a gesture of invitation and led everyone towards the field.

Everyone crossed the hill to the originally desolate back mountain, at this time the back mountain was full of crops, the villagers of Liujia Village on the farmland were clearing the weeds, and when they saw someone coming, they quickly stopped their movements.

"You guys developed this?" The Earl looked at the large field in front of him and exclaimed, "It's spectacular. ”

"Yes." Xu Xiaoxiao nodded in response.

"How did you develop the original wasteland?" The Earl exclaimed, bewildered, waiting for a little answer.

"It took some time and labor, and we cleared the weeds from the ground and refurbished it." Xu Xiaoxiao avoided the important and explained the process of reclamation simply.

After hearing this, the earl nodded repeatedly, "You are a genius, where do we call a scientist." ”
