Chapter 35 Liu Xiaohua
"Haha, I didn't expect it, little girl? What a coincidence. The shopkeeper looked up and laughed.
Lin Yao hooked her lips, lifted the lid of the wooden barrel in her hand, and then moved the wooden barrel in front of him, "Uncle, I'm here to sell you this bamboo shoot this time." ”
"Bamboo shoots?" Hearing this, the shopkeeper couldn't help frowning, he knew that this bamboo shoot was all over the mountains, bitter and astringent, and no one ate it at all, thinking that he pouted, and looked into the barrel, it looked like a bamboo shoot silk.
Knowing that he would be puzzled, Lin Yao smiled slightly, picked up the clean chopsticks on the table next to him, picked up a trace of bamboo shoots and handed it to him, "Uncle, I have dealt with this bamboo shoot, it's not bitter, you can taste it." ”
Seeing Lin Yao's calm and confident face, the shopkeeper couldn't help but take the chopsticks and taste them, frowned and took a small bite, chewed it slowly, and after chewing it a few times, his eyes lit up instantly, and then he ate the remaining bamboo shoot shreds in his hand in one bite, and nodded his head in praise while chewing, "Well, yes, it's really good, this bamboo shoot is not only not bitter, but also has some sweetness, crispy and crispy, very delicious, little girl, how did you do it?" ”
Hearing this, Lin Yao smiled playfully, and said crisply, "Uncle, if you want to know this recipe, you have to spend money to buy it!"
"Haha! Little girl, don't worry, the taste of your bamboo shoots is really good, fragrant and crispy, I bought it, say, how much silver do you want? ”
I knew that this uncle was refreshing, looking at the scale of his restaurant, it seemed that there was a lot of silver, Lin Yao was not polite, stretched out his hand and compared it to five, and his lips opened slightly, "Five hundred taels of silver." ”
"Five hundred taels?" The shopkeeper smiled meaningfully when he heard this, and then immediately said, "Okay, this bamboo shoot is so delicious, five hundred taels must be worth it, little girl, you wait, I'll go write the bill." ”
The fat man walked to the counter happily and wrote the contract in front of the pen, and sighed secretly in his heart, this little girl is young, her own big restaurant, the net profit of this day is more than 100 taels, and it is really cost-effective to buy a vegetable recipe back for 500 taels.
But he didn't admit that he cheated this little girl, obviously she set the price first, and the five hundred taels was also a huge amount of money for her, a country girl.
Lin Yao on the side didn't care if her pricing was cheated, she was not interested in selling vegetable recipes, for her, five hundred taels was enough to solve her urgent needs, and she didn't have so much energy to inquire about how much silver was worth for a vegetable recipe in a big restaurant.
However, one day in the future, when Lin Yao found out about the profit of Pinju Pavilion and his own menu that was equivalent to giving away for nothing, his heart was still a little unbalanced, and he couldn't help but secretly curse that he was really a profiteer.
After the shopkeeper wrote for a while, he picked up the list and blew it, and then handed it to Lin Yao with a smile, "Come, little girl, take a look, if you think you can, press a handprint." ”
Lin Yao took the list and looked at it carefully, it was nothing more than that she was not allowed to tell others the recipe for handling bamboo shoots, which was similar to the last time she bought her meat sauce, and after thinking that it was no problem, Lin Yao took the ink and pressed a handprint, and then accepted the silver ticket of five hundred taels.
After collecting the money, the shopkeeper looked at Lin Yao and said with a smile, "Little girl, uncle, my name is Hu Zhong, if you come here again next time, just say that you come to Uncle Hu, and no one will dare to stop you anymore." ”
Just now this little girl was almost chased away by the blind guy of her own family, even if she didn't complain to herself, but he could see it clearly, and he couldn't help but admire that this broad mind was not what a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl should have.
Hearing what the shopkeeper said, Lin Yao knew that he was responsible for the disrespectful thing that the guy had just done to her, and felt a little warm in her heart, this fat uncle was still very kind to people, and he didn't have the philistine spirit that ordinary businessmen should have, so she replied with a smile indifferently, "Well, Uncle Hu, I know, thank you." ”
——————
At night, Lin Yao had just finished taking a shower and was wiping her hair, when Yao's mother walked in with a few clothes, her face was full of spoiling, "Yaoyao, look, my mother has made a liner and two sets of obscene clothes for you, just after you finished taking a bath, try to see if it fits." ”
Hearing this, Lin Yao didn't show a happy look, she looked at the linen clothes on Yao's mother and frowned slightly, "Mother, why do you care about making clothes for me, you can make a few clothes for you and Xiaobao." ”
This Yao's mother is really good to her, she guesses that if it weren't for the old-fashioned colors of the fabrics she bought for Yao's mother, Yao's mother would have been able to use them all to make clothes for her, Lin Yao didn't like this feeling, she knew that Yao's mother was treating her well, but this feeling like she was sucking other people's flesh and blood was really uncomfortable.
"Hey, my mother is old, what can't I wear, your brother Xiaobao is still young, why are you in such a hurry to wear new clothes." Seeing Lin Yao's somewhat serious little face, Yao's mother explained in a low voice.
"Mother, if you do this again, I don't want you to make clothes for me anymore, and I will go directly to buy ready-to-wear clothes in the future." Lin Yao pouted and said angrily, suddenly thinking of the happy expression on Xiao Douding's face when he first knew that he was going to have new clothes to wear, and he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Seeing that Lin Yao seemed to be really angry, Yao's mother was so frightened that she hurriedly said, "Okay, my mother will make your brother's clothes tomorrow, and then my mother will make her own clothes, Yaoyao don't be angry." ”
Seeing Yao's mother's slightly flattering look, Lin Yao couldn't bear to scare him anymore, eased her look, and stepped forward to hold Yao's mother's hand, "Mother, you and Xiaobao are the relatives I care about the most, they are very important in my heart, don't ignore yourself for my overwork, as long as you and Xiaobao are happy, I will be satisfied." ”
Feeling her daughter's love for herself, Yao's mother couldn't help but wet her eyes, how could she have such a sensible and capable intimate little padded jacket, and secretly thought that she must take good care of their sisters and brothers.
In the early morning of the next day, Lin Yao was going to grind the fruit that had been dried yesterday so that it could be put into a tea bag for easy drinking.
She dipped a brush in ink on several large wooden barrels she bought yesterday and wrote down apples, pears, peaches, lemons, passion fruits, bayberry, and mangoes......
In order to prevent the village women from being illiterate, Lin Yao put a few corresponding pieces of dried fruit on the wooden barrel, even if they were illiterate, they knew what kind of dried fruit should be put in this wooden barrel when they saw the dried fruit.
After a while, the village women came, Lin Yao said a few words to them, and they understood what to do, and they began to grind while sitting on a small bench.
Lin Yao watched from the side for a while, and after finding that they were all doing well, she came to the back of the house to pick some fresh cow tendon grass and came to Aunt Huang's house.
Aunt Huang's family is not wealthy, and there is nothing else in the old fence yard except for some cabbage and pumpkins.
Lin Yao walked in and found that the door was closed, so she shouted loudly, "Xiaohua, are you at home?" ”
"Ah, yes." found that it was Lin Yao, Liu Xiaohua, who was sitting on the kang with an embroidered handkerchief, hurriedly answered, and then jumped down to the ground to open the door for Lin Yao.
The little girl's thin melon seed face was full of smiles, she pulled Lin Yao against the door frame, and greeted warmly, "Yaoyao, come in, why did you come to see me?" Did you miss me? ”
Looking at the happy and lively little girl in front of her, Lin Yao couldn't help but smile and handed her the cow tendon grass in the basket, "Well, you have smashed these cow tendon grass, put them on your ankles, change them once in the morning and once in the evening, and you will probably be able to walk normally after six or seven days." ”
Hearing this, Liu Xiaohua's eyes couldn't contain her surprise, "Yaoyao, this cow tendon grass won't be bought by you with money, it's going to be returned, it's going to cost a lot of money." ”
In her memory, Lin Yao was a timid girl, and she usually only hid when she saw someone, even though her mother told her these days that Lin Yao had become very promising, but she still didn't expect that this herb would be picked by Lin Yao herself.
It just so happened that she knew that Lin Yao had earned some money in the past few days, so she guessed that these herbs were probably Lin Yao's expense for herself.
Lin Yao said helplessly, "I didn't buy it, I just picked it behind my house, and it didn't cost anything." As she spoke, she stuffed the basket into Liu Xiaohua's arms.
Hearing this, Liu Xiaohua breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, her eyes flashed with surprise, "Yaoyao, how do you know the cow tendon grass?" Why did you suddenly become so smart? ”
Lin Yao has really changed, she has become very energetic, and she seems to know more things, Liu Xiaohua is a little puzzled, but she is also happy for her, so it's okay, so that Yaoyao will not be bullied anymore.
Lin Yao didn't care, "What's smart or not, this is just what the old doctor from the village told me a few days ago, so I also happened to know about this cow tendon grass." ”
"Oh, that's right, no wonder." Liu Xiaohua nodded, she didn't think much about it, she looked at the green herbs in the basket and was very happy, and said in a cheerful tone, "Yaoyao, come in and sit down." ”
Saying that, she jumped into the house, like a little rabbit, so frightened that Lin Yao hurriedly rushed over to help her, for fear that she would accidentally fall.
"You can be careful, if you are not careful with this step, you must not fall on your head, if you fall your head and fall stupid, see what you do." Lin Yao couldn't help but say while helping her.
Liu Xiaohua knew that Lin Yao cared about her, and replied with a smile, "It's okay, anyway, Yaoyao has become smarter, and it's okay for me to be stupid." ”
"Bah, what are you talking about!"
helped Liu Xiaohua into the back room, Liu Xiaohua jumped on the kang with another vigorous figure, and then said to Lin Yao with a smile, "Yaoyao, I can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, since I broke my foot, my mother doesn't need me to work in the field anymore." She shook her head with some regret, "Alas, it would be nice if I got injured during the autumn harvest, so I wouldn't have to harvest the crops again, but that won't work, then my father and mother will be very tired." ”
Looking at Liu Xiaohua's tangled look, Lin Yao couldn't help but have black lines on her head when she heard it, she was really stupid as always with such a close friend, but she was also stupid and cute.
Thinking that his shop happened to lack a buddy, Lin Yao said, "Xiaohua, I have a shop in the town now, and there is just a shortage of buddy, are you willing to go?" ”
"What?" Liu Xiaohua's eyes widened when she heard this, and she asked in disbelief, "Yaoyao, do you mean to ask me to work?" ”
This person who can work for others is either good physique and strength, or has a skill, she is still very clear about how many pounds and taels she has, a few days ago her mother also told her that she was waiting for the New Year to find a family for her, and she found a good family to marry while she was young, but she didn't expect that she could also go to work and earn money for the family.
Knowing what Liu Xiaohua was thinking, Lin Yao smiled and nodded, "Naturally, as for the price, I plan to give you ten cents a day, how about it?" ”
