Chapter 14 Get back the bereaval contract

"Well, those are two plants that I stumbled upon by accident, and seeing that they have a unique and refreshing taste, I named them lemon and mint myself." Lin Yao said solemnly.

"In this way, this honey lemonade is really thirst-quenching to drink in summer!" After speaking, Yang Yun couldn't help but take a few big gulps and smash it.

Seeing that Lin Yao and the three of them were drinking to quench their thirst, Su and Li Xiuhe couldn't help but swallow their saliva, but because Su had just mocked Lin Yao, they turned their heads with thirst and stopped looking at them.

I secretly thought in my heart that she was just a little girl, she could make something delicious, it was a drink when it was filled into the sky, and it couldn't be eaten as a meal, so she didn't believe that she could sell it for ten cents a can!

An hour and a half later, the ox cart finally staggered to the town.

As soon as the ox cart stopped, Su led his daughter Li Xiuhe to get out of the car and leave in a hurry.

"Lin girl, remember that you must come back before three o'clock?" Uncle Huang smiled while tying the rope and instructed Lin Yao.

"Eh, I know Uncle Huang."

The ancient unitary hour is about half past five in the modern afternoon, looking at the sun, Lin Yao estimates that it should be more than twelve o'clock at noon, more than five hours, enough for her to sell everything.

Lin Yao first led Yao's mother and Yang Yun to the place where she sold things yesterday, and after she put the honey lemonade, Tsubaki vegetables, and meat sauce one by one, she said to Yao's mother, "Mother, this honey lemonade is ten cents a can, this Chuncai is five cents a catty, and the meat sauce is twenty cents a can, do you remember?" ”

When selling drinks yesterday, Lin Yao listened to the shouts of the vegetables sold next to her, and knew that vegetables such as radish and cabbage here are generally two pennies a catty, so her unique and delicious Tsubaki vegetables should be acceptable to someone for five pennies a catty, and although the meat sauce is only made of soybean paste for three pennies a catty, it is delicious and delicious, and someone will definitely like it.

Knowing that her daughter's cooking was delicious, although Yao's mother was surprised by the slightly higher price, she quickly calmed down, "Eh, my mother remembers, this water costs ten cents a can, Tsubaki vegetables cost five cents a catty, and meat sauce costs twenty cents a jar, right, Yaoyao?" Yao's mother frowned and repeated the price seriously, for fear that she would remember the price wrong.

Yao's mother looked serious, and Lin Yao couldn't help but laugh.

"That's right, mother, you sell it first, sell as much as you want, if anyone has any objections to the price, you don't have to pay attention, wait until I come back, you know?" Lin Yao instructed uneasily.

"Eh, my mother knows, Yaoyao go quickly." Yao's mother hurriedly waved her hand and said.

Lin Yao smiled and turned her head to Yang Yun on the side and said, "Brother Yang, then let's go." ”

"Okay."

Because of the delicate relationship between the two, Lin Yao was a little embarrassed for a while, and couldn't find anything to adjust the atmosphere.

"Sister Yao, you have really changed, become, no longer so weak, in this way, it's also good." The two walked wordlessly for a while, and then Yang Yun beside him suddenly spoke.

He squinted slightly and looked ahead, and there seemed to be some regret in his eyes.

"Well, people will always change, if I am still so weak, I will only be sorry for my father and mother who worked hard to raise me, my father is gone, I have to be strong and take care of my mother and Xiaobao." I don't understand why he suddenly said such a thing, but Lin Yao still said seriously.

"So, has your original mind changed?" Yang Yun suddenly stopped, turned his head and looked at her fixedly.

"The original mind?" Lin Yao frowned slightly, a little puzzled in her heart, what does this mean?

Looking at Lin Yao's confused expression, Yang Yun's eyes showed sadness, and he looked at Lin Yao and said seriously, "You once told me that your favorite person is me, and you said that you would treat me well for the rest of your life, does this still count?" ”

Hearing this, Lin Yao's eyes immediately widened in surprise, what does this Yang Yun mean, could it be that he likes himself? No, in the memory of the original owner, although Yang Yun was very good to the original owner, he has always been polite, why does it seem that things are not so simple now.

Thinking of this, Lin Yao had a slight headache, she now just wants to work hard to make money and make a fortune, but she doesn't have any intention of continuing the frontier.

She thought for a while and looked at Yang Yun and said seriously, "Brother Yang, those are just ignorant words when I was a child, Brother Yang always protected me when I was a child, and I always remembered your goodness, but I just treated you as a brother at that time, and I didn't have any other thoughts." ”

"You ......" Yang Yun seemed to be very hurt, looking at her in disbelief, her lips trembling slightly.

He obviously felt her love for him, why did she reject herself so decisively now, was it really that she was thinking too much?

After this conversation, the atmosphere between the two became even more awkward, but fortunately, I asked the address of the passer-by Liu Butcher, and the answer was that it was on the street in front.

The two searched for information and soon saw Butcher Liu, who was selling meat in front of a pork stall.

"Butcher Liu, you still remember me, I'm here to get the contract today." Walking in front of Butcher Liu, Lin Yao directly explained his intentions.

"Yo, it's only been a few days that you've scraped together enough five taels of silver? I'm afraid it took a lot of tricks. Hearing this, Butcher Liu was surprised at first, and then reacted and said lightly, a pair of obscene bean eyes also stared directly at Lin Yao's chest.

Lin Yao frowned in disgust, and before he could say anything, he saw a figure blocking in front of him.

"Where do you look? Gouge out your eyes again!" The majesty of the Yamen's head catcher immediately dispersed, Yang Yun's white face was as cold as frost, and his eyes looked at Butcher Liu coldly and shouted.

"You, who are you, let me tell you, this little girl is my fiancΓ©e, and I have the engagement contract! Don't be nosy!" Butcher Liu is used to running rampant with a body of fat on weekdays, and he was startled and immediately choked back.

"Me? It's just Yang Catchy from the county government of Jingtou County, but I know that the contract clearly says that as long as the woman returns five taels of silver, the contract will be invalid immediately, what? You still want to go to the government with me for a debate? Yang Yun sarcastically curled the corners of his mouth and said disdainfully.

"You, hmph, count me unlucky, what about the silver?" Seeing that Yang Yun turned out to be a person from the yamen, Butcher Liu's momentum suddenly weakened, and he had no choice but to yell at Lin Yao.

Lin Yao took out five taels of silver from his arms expressionlessly, but did not immediately hand it to Butcher Liu, and asked rhetorically, "What about the contract?" She didn't believe in the credit of this scoundrel, if she couldn't see the contract, she wouldn't think she would pay the money first.

Seeing this, Butcher Liu had no choice but to take out a piece of paper from his arms and throw it to Lin Yao, "I have already given you the contract, give me the silver quickly!"

After seeing that the contract was correct, Lin Yao threw five taels of silver at his feet, ignored his angry appearance of jumping off the wall, and pulled Yang Yun away.

After walking away, Lin Yao looked at the contract paper in his hand, his mood was relaxed and a little complicated, in ancient times, contracts like this engagement deed, deed of sale and the like were very important, as long as it existed, then you will always be branded by others, unlike in modern times, if you don't like to shake your hands and move your mouth, you can leave in style.

Thinking like this, she suddenly reached out and tore up the marriage contract and threw it away, even if she Lin Yao wore it in ancient times, she had to make her own decisions, and no one wanted to trap her with a piece of paper.

Looking at Lin Yao's actions, Yang Yun was a little surprised, although he knew that Sister Yao's temperament had become much stronger, but this kind of behavior was really a bit unusual for ordinary people, but he thought of Lin Yao's previous suffering, and he was quickly relieved, Sister Yao had experienced so much torture and pain, and it was normal for her heart to become harder.

But this change also made him more and more panicked, she was no longer the little girl who waited in place and looked at her stupidly.

Although she had just made it clear that she didn't have any thoughts about herself, Yang Yun suddenly found that she seemed to be really tempted by her, not because she was unwilling to get it, but because she appreciated her ruthlessness in fighting for herself, unwilling to admit defeat, and working hard.

Thinking of this, Yang Yun felt a little distressed, what kind of despair had been experienced to make a timid and cowardly girl's temperament change greatly.

He wanted to help her, wanted to fight with her all the way, and worked hand in hand, thinking of this, Yang Yun suddenly blushed slightly.

"Sister Yao, I figured it out." Yang Yun's sudden words made Lin Yao, who was immersed in his own blood, suddenly come back to his senses and looked at him suspiciously.

"Since you don't have the heart to think about things between us now, then I'll wait for you, and I'll help you get through it together." Yang Yun looked at Lin Yao firmly with gentle eyes, and Lin Yao clearly saw his reflection in his clear eyes, "Maybe you don't like me now, but I want to tell you that I am happy with you, and I will not give up on you easily." ”

The sudden confession made Lin Yao, a single dog in the past and present life, a little overwhelmed in shock, but she didn't expect her first confession to be in this situation, and the object of the confession was still the cinnabar mole in the heart of the original owner, which gave her the illusion of picking the flowers that others had worked so hard to cultivate.

"Ahem, Brother Yang, I, alas, I really don't have feelings for you, you don't have to waste your good youth for me, you will definitely meet a woman who is a thousand times better than me in the future and more suitable for you." Lin Yao, who reacted, carefully considered her words and said to Yang Yun seriously, she was indeed a little excited to hear her confession, but it was not heartbeat, she really had no feelings for him, so she couldn't deceive and fool people and spoil people's emotions.

Although Yang Yun was ready to be rejected again, hearing Lin Yao's straightforward refusal, his heart still tingled slightly, but in an instant, he strengthened his mind, and looked at Lin Yao seriously again, "Sister Yao, I know that I have always been in the yamen all these years, and I don't get along with you often, so you and I may have become unfamiliar, but I will not give up, I will prove my heart to you." ”

After speaking, he hurriedly ran away without waiting for Lin Yao's reply, looking at Yang Yun's slightly embarrassed back, Lin Yao frowned slightly, and sighed helplessly, could it be that he had just crossed over, and the protagonist's brilliance was too strong? provoked such a desperate suitor.

It's just that I really don't like him, and I pity such a "heart".

Lin Yao walked back to Yao's mother with sorrow and guilt, and when she got closer, she found that Yang Yun did not leave, but was also there to help Yao's mother sell things, and Lin Yao suddenly had a black line.

A little helplessly walked over, trying to smile as naturally as possible, "Mother, how is the sale?" ”

"Yaoyao is back" Yao's mother happily greeted Lin Yao as soon as she saw her, "Yaoyao, this water is really easy to sell, it's not just a while, my mother sold more than a dozen cans and earned more than 100 yuan!"

Looking at Yao's mother's excited and proud appearance, Lin Yao hooked her lips slightly, it seemed that the lemonade sold yesterday had some reverberation.

"What about the Tsubaki and the bolognese?" Lin Yao looked at the Tsubaki vegetables and meat sauce that were not much missing, and he already knew a little in his heart.

"Alas, the people who came here just asked for water and bought it and left, and no one wanted to buy this Tsubaki vegetable and meat sauce." Yao's mother frowned with some regret and said, this Tsubaki vegetable and meat sauce are obviously delicious, why is no one buying them?

"Yaoyao, could it be that the price is too high." Yao's mother asked with some doubts.

"Of course not, people have hardly ever eaten Tsubaki and meat sauce, so they don't know how delicious they are, and it's normal for no one to buy them." Lin Yao explained nonchalantly.

While he was talking, a middle-aged uncle dressed in rich clothes walked over, "I heard that the honey you sell here is very delicious, bring me two cans." ”

The man didn't ask the price and directly said that he wanted two cans, looking at the man's rich clothes Lin Yao knew that rich people are not bad for money.

Thinking of Lin Yao, she rolled her eyes slightly, and slightly hooked the corners of her lips.

"Okay, we've got two cans of honey lemonade for twenty cents." Lin Shao said as he took out two jars of water and handed them to him.

The man nodded, took the bamboo tube and handed twenty yuan to Lin Yao, then turned around and was about to leave, "Uncle!" Please wait a moment. Lin Yao hurriedly stopped him.

Seeing that the man turned around suspiciously, Lin Yao hurriedly pointed to the Tsubaki vegetables and meat sauce on the side and said, "These are the Tsubaki vegetables I picked and the meat sauce I just made, they are delicious, can you taste them, uncle?" ”

"What dish"? Tsubaki? Haven't you heard of it, but what kind of meat sauce is it, is it a sauce made from meat? He just helped the youngest daughter of the family buy two cans of drinks to satisfy her hunger, and he didn't have much interest in vegetables, but looking at the little girl's sworn appearance and novelty about things, the man swallowed his refusal, "Okay, I'll try it, I'll buy some if it's delicious." ”

Lin Yao hurriedly used clean bamboo chopsticks to sign out a little Tsubaki cabbage, dipped some meat sauce into the prepared bamboo tube, and handed it to the man, "You taste it." ”

The man took it and put it in his mouth and chewed it, his eyes lit up instantly, and he nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, this Tsubaki vegetable dipping meat sauce made by the little girl tastes great, it is delicious and chewy, and it is very good to use for rice." ”

The man couldn't help but finish eating all the remaining vegetables in the bamboo tube, and then he spoke again, "How much is this Tsubaki vegetable and meat sauce?" ”

"Tsubaki vegetables cost five dollars a pound, and meat sauce costs twenty dollars a can." Lin Yao immediately replied with a smile.

Hearing this, the man frowned slightly, "Little girl, your price is not cheap, this Tsubaki vegetable is a vegetable after all, how can it cost two or three cents for nothing?" And your meat sauce is just a little more minced meat, so why is it so expensive? ”

Looking at the man's look like a little girl, are you blackmailing me, Lin Yao couldn't help but explain with a smile, "Uncle, my Tsubaki vegetables are not easy to find, and the taste is more delicious and chewy than ordinary vegetables, and although the raw materials of my meat sauce do not look expensive, there are some other seasoning ingredients in it, all of which are indispensable, and I am the only one who knows how to boil it, so it is normal to be more expensive." ”

After listening to Lin Yao's explanation, the man thought about it and nodded, "There is some truth, okay, little girl, bring me three catties of Tsubaki vegetables and a can of meat sauce, and I will bring them back to my family to taste." ”

Looks like he loves his wife.

Lin Yao smiled and handed the chin and meat sauce to the man, and received another thirty-five wen.

After the man left, Yao's mother looked at the silver in Lin Yao's hand in surprise, "Yaoyao, you are still smart enough to sell the chin and meat sauce so quickly." ”

"Mother, it's actually very easy, if someone comes to buy honey lemonade later, you can recommend our Tsubaki and meat sauce to them just like I just did, and they will definitely buy it after tasting it."

"Eh, my mother knows." Yao's mother nodded with a teachable look.

Seeing that this was selling quite well, Lin Yao thought about selling the rose water and lingzhi by herself.

"Mother, you sell it here first, and I'll sell this rose water first." Lin Yao said as she picked up the basket containing rose water.
