Chapter 14: I Don't Have a Light
"Keep it for yourself, Spirit Girl."
Yan Lingxi directly stuffed another bowl of sour and spicy food into Aunt Chen's hand: "Aunt Chen, don't be polite to me, this thing is actually very cheap, I plan to sell it later, even if it is a selling price, one private money can buy two bowls!" β
Poor families use more private money, that is, privately minted copper coins, and only three private coins are topped with an official cast copper plate.
Aunt Chen originally heard her say that she planned to sell, but she had to refuse, but when she heard the price, she was so surprised that the movements in her hand stopped.
"This thing is so cheap? If you buy the cheapest coarse grains with private money, you can make a small cake. Can you buy two bowls of this? It's cheaper than those coarse grains! β
Yan Lingxi winked at her: "What is the raw material of this thing?" It's leaves! The cost is basically spent on the seasoning. β
Aunt Chen was amazed for a long time, and the leaves of the straight tree could still make such a delicious thing.
"Try this sour and spicy taste again. You eat slowly, I have one more thing to ask for. β
Yan Lingxi is still a slave of the Xiao family, according to the rules, she can't do this kind of small business, there are many people in the village, and when it reaches the ears of the Xiao family, Yuhong and the others will have to say again.
Yan Lingxi didn't give them this opportunity, she wanted Aunt Chen to be an agent, let Aunt Chen sell to the outside world, and give her forty percent of the profit when the time came. Tell Aunt Chen about this idea in detail, and Aunt Chen immediately agreed.
She pretended to go back and get it, took out the remaining eight or nine bowls from the kitchen, gave Aunt Chen a sample, and tried them for the villagers first.
"Aunt Chen, this tree tofu is not expensive, let's not sell it for a day today, give it to the villagers, if it's not enough, you can come to me again to get it, I'll do it when I go back!"
Aunt Chen happily took it.
Aunt Chen knows that if it were something else, she wouldn't be able to sell it this year, but this tree tofu is too cheap, and it's delicious to relieve the heat and be full, not to mention the usual cravings, that is, whoever can't afford to eat food, can rely on this thing to get serious for a while.
This is a life-saving tofu!
In her heart, she couldn't help but boast, how could there be such a smart girl in the world!
In the evening, Xiao Chenxuan sneaked out and ran to Yan Lingxi, and Yan Lingxi brought him a bowl of brown sugar tree tofu, he must have loved sweetness.
Xiao Chenxuan came back and brought a big pot of tea, saying that it was delicious, but he had to give Lingxi a taste.
The two of them drank tea and ate at ease.
Not long after, Yan Lingxi's little brothers all came to knock on the door secretly.
It was Yan Lingxi who called them, first, to feed them delicious, and second, to have a task for them.
Now Chen Feng and Ouyang San's ten-day "little brother period" has long passed, but because Yan Lingxi can give them water to drink, no one has mentioned this matter until now, and they still have to be called the boss.
Ouyang Si was purely conquered by hunting, and they also lost their temper.
As for Li Ping, Yan Lingxi can't treat him as a younger brother, Li Ping is older and has a stable temperament, and the two of them usually get along as friends.
Several people handed out bowls of tree tofu, and they picked their own flavors, Yan Lingxi drank tea, and slowly instructed them:
"Don't go to bed too early tonight, don't sleep before the end of the day, if you hear movement in the yard, don't forget to come out and watch the excitement."
Everyone looked up at her in bewilderment.
"What are you going to do?"
The first person to understand was Chen Feng, who was a ghost, and immediately heard that Yan Lingxi was going to do something, while the others were still stunned.
"You'll know when the time comes, just look at the excitement."
Li Ping was a little worried: "It's better not to do anything too excessive." β
These people had all seen Yan Lingxi's fierce and unparalleled style of acting on the road, and they were all worried.
Ouyang Si was the only one, he wiped the sugar juice on his mouth: "Is it lively?" Well, I've been working all day, and I'm really tired of grinding on a donkeyβit's boring! β
Yan Lingxi smiled: "Yes, don't worry, this time someone recruited me, we have to do it, you just look at the excitement and even help me." β
After eating, everyone dispersed, Yan Lingxi took out some cheap rouge that he bought now, drew a red mark on his face that could vaguely see five fingers, and wiped it around the corner of his eye.
Crying red eyes, slap prints looming on faces.
If you tear your clothes loose, the whole thing will be miserable!
After doing this, she sat by the door and waited, and when it was just dark, Liu Er came back from outside and went directly into the kitchen to find food.
Everyone is the old man of the Xiao family, who still doesn't know who after so many years! After finishing his work, he went to the cook and mixed things to cushion his stomach, which was his habit for many years.
Yan Lingxi's eyes widened at this time, and a little tear brewed, so he went to find Yuhong.
She was aggrieved and trembling, and she didn't dare to look up at Yuhong, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito:
"Sister Yuhong, Liu Er...... Liu Er was there with me, and he said that he was looking for you for something, let you, let you go alone first. β
Yuhong raised her eyes, half disgusted and half indifferent glanced at Yan Lingxi: "Got it." β
I'm tired of it, what kind of pity is this hoof out of knots! Liu Er is too, he is in a hurry before the night is dark, these two things are really troublesome. Let's make arrangements as early as possible.
Yan Lingxi really can't pretend to cry, mainly because she can't brew tears in front of others, so she covers her face with her sleeves and answers endlessly.
Yuhong was annoyed enough by the sound of answering along the way, and she couldn't say anything, she didn't want to pretend to care, nor could she reveal that she had known about it, so she could only roll her eyes vigorously to relieve her upset.
When I arrived at the small firewood room, Yuhong walked ahead according to the rules. There were no candles in the small firewood room, and it was pitch black.
Yuhong was already very impatient, and she didn't bother to wait for the wax, so she touched the wall and walked forward, saying as she walked: "Why don't you light the lamp?" Who do you want to scare to death? β
"I don't have a light."
Yan Lingxi is not wrong, where does she have expensive things like oil lamps.
"I saidβeh!"
Yuhong didn't finish speaking, and fell to the ground with a "plop", falling solidly.
"Something! How do you put such a nuisance here! Where in the world are you such a stupid dead! β
Yan Lingxi squatted down silently and adjusted the thick hemp rope used to bind firewood on the ground, which was the set she had laid earlier.
"Sister Yuhong, you wait, I'll order candles and medicine."
With that, she turned around and left.
Liu Er, who was swaying here after eating in the small kitchen, saw Yan Lingxi, and the thin and pitiful little figure flashed, and he became even more anxious.
He looked at the back of the little girl and seemed to be walking towards his residence, and he rubbed his hands together excitedly, and ran over in three or two steps.
From the outside of the door, he could actually see that the room was pitch black, but Liu Er couldn't notice it at all, he only heard that someone in the room seemed to be crying, and it seemed to be humming a song, tactful and low, and he couldn't hear it clearly. This vague and hazy feeling made him itch even more.
He pushed open the half-hidden door and lunged at the source of the sound, restraining the other person's hands and pressing them down on her.
