Chapter 37: Teased Again
Why are you making such a fuss, I'll see how Su Su's illness is! ”
Bai Luomei laboriously pulled her feet out of the mud and walked to a dry piece of land under the eaves, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's so cold now, your shoes are wet, how can you do this, you'll get sick!"
Huo Ziqi looked at Bai Luomei's delicate embroidered shoes covered with rhubarb mud, and said a little anxiously.
To be honest, this feeling of being cold and damp is really not very pleasant, but Bai Luomei still waved his hand happily, signaling that he didn't have to care.
"Come, this is for Su Su, if you are sick, you need to supplement your nutrition more."
As she spoke, she stuffed the string of oiled paper bags she was carrying in her hand to Huo Ziqi, walked to the side by herself, and rubbed the soles of her shoes on the ground.
Looking at her movements, Huo Ziqi was like sitting on pins and needles, and felt that he had brought trouble to the young lady again.
"What about Susu, where does she live?"
After barely scraping off a layer of mud on the soles of her shoes, Bai Luomei gave up directly, turned her head and asked Huo Ziqidao.
"Su Su lives in the same room with me," seeing that she was a little surprised, Huo Ziqi pursed his lips, "You can save some candles and firewood." ”
Hearing this, Bai Luomei sighed silently in her heart and walked towards the room that revealed the firelight.
"Miss, you're here!"
Seeing Bai Luomei, Su Su was very happy, and her eyes lit up.
"How are you feeling, are you still feverish?"
Bai Luomei sat down on the old kang edge and reached out to touch Su Su's forehead.
It's still a little bit hot, but it's much better than it was that day.
"I have the strength to help my brother work."
The little girl was very well-behaved.
Seeing that her hair was a little messy, Bai Luomei removed the red rope on the girl's bun and combed her with two lovely buds.
teased Su Su and talked to her, seeing that she was a little anxious to breathe, Bai Luomei asked her to lie down and rest, and whispered to Huo Ziqi.
“…… How about it, are you willing to do this job, one or two wages per month, and dividends at the end of the month. ”
Saying that, Bai Luomei paused, "If you do a good job, your salary can rise again, and it should be enough for you to support your family at present." ”
From the time she told this, Huo Ziqi's heart was pounding.
Before Bai Luomei finished speaking, he got up and responded urgently, "I am willing, Miss, I am willing!" ”
In this era, steamed buns only cost two pennies a piece, one tael of silver a month, which is a huge amount of money, he can live well with his sister, and he can save hundreds of dollars.
If it was in the past, this was something he couldn't even think of, carrying a big bag only gave five copper coins, and sometimes it was not a day to make a trip!
After speaking, for fear that Bai Luomei would regret it, he asked anxiously, "When will it start, tomorrow, I will be ready today......
Seeing him so urgent, Bai Luomei couldn't help laughing, but she also understood his mood a little.
"What's the hurry, I'm not ready over there, where are the stalls, how to sell them, do you know what to do?"
Seeing that his face was dazed, Bai Luomei really laughed out loud this time, and after laughing enough, she explained to him in detail.
This is a long story, from how to mix milk tea, to how to deal with customer difficulties, from beginning to end.
“…… Also, in our line of work, the appearance is also very important, and you have to replace your current body. ”
Bai Luomei didn't have any prejudice against his patched clothes, but who told her that her target customers were rich ladies, if she dressed like this, she would inevitably encounter a lot of white eyes and embarrassment.
"That's it, I'm here today anyway, you follow me in a while, I'll take you to make two clothes, and I'll use them as overalls."
Saying that, Bai Luomei pulled him up without saying anything, asked Su Su to stay at home obediently, and took Huo Ziqi to the clothing appraisal shop.
"Shopkeeper, please bring these two clothes and try them on my brother."
Bai Luomei walked around the store twice and took a fancy to a navy blue and a navy blue robe.
Both of these colors are resistant to dirt, so you can change them back and forth and have time to wash and dry.
After a while, Huo Ziqi walked out in new clothes and a little nervous.
"Wow, it's good-looking, it's really a person who relies on clothes and horses to rely on saddles!"
He was already beautiful and delicate, and he was lined by this calm color, and his lips were red and his teeth were white, and at first glance he thought he was the son of a family.
"Girl, your brother has a firewood stick on his head, it's too cold, why don't you bring a hairpin?"
The boss is also a veteran of business, and seeing that Bai Luomei was satisfied, he took the opportunity to sell it.
When Bai Luomei heard this, she happily picked out two peach hairpins, and when she saw that there were velvet flowers worn by children, she bought two pairs for Su Su.
"Ah, that little red dress is also very good-looking, and there is a lotus lotus color next to it, bring me a set too."
Seeing that there was a shoe seller next to her, she was almost relieved, and quickly bought new shoes and replaced the mud-stained shoes.
Since entering the palace, Bai Luomei has hardly spent any money, and today is considered to be enjoyable.
When they entered the store, they were empty-handed, and when they came out, they carried a lot of large bags and small bags, Huo Ziqi blushed again, and stammered to thank Bai Luomei.
"Why, you have to change this problem, you blush at every turn, but how can you sell things?"
Bai Luomei was half ridiculous, half serious.
Speaking of which, Huo Ziqi doesn't look like the kind of poor child who has been running around the streets since he was a child, but like a gentle rich son, especially when he changes his clothes, he is even more alike.
"I, I'll change it, miss, don't worry!"
Huo Ziqi looked at Bai Luomei and assured him very seriously and solemnly.
Since Bai Luomei rescued him and took Su Su to see a doctor, he has regarded her as a bodhisattva-like figure in his heart.
Now that she has given herself such a good job, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is his and Susu's reborn parents!
He has made up his mind that even if he tries his best, he will do the work assigned by the young lady well.
Although he was a little embarrassed to say it, he had already identified Bai Luomei in his heart and wanted to follow her for the rest of his life!
"Don't worry, you will teach you to practice well in the next few days, think about it more, and I will inform you when it will open."
Bai Luomei was just about to instruct Huo Ziqi a few more words, when she suddenly saw a familiar figure walking slowly on the street in the distance.
Her hairs stood up all of a sudden, and she didn't care about anything else, and ran away like a gust of wind, leaving Huo Ziqi alone, standing in place in a daze.
"Let's go back, we'll get in touch ......"
Before she could finish speaking, she had already turned the corner of the wall quickly, and disappeared with a puff of dust and smoke.
Huo Ziqi stood in place for a moment with his mouth half open, stunned, wanting to catch up and take a look, but where is the shadow of Bai Luomei?
Helpless, he had to turn around and walk home with a large bag and a small bag.
After about a tea time, Bai Luomei slowly poked her head out of the corner and looked at the opposite side in horror......
