Chapter 114: Five or Five
This is also something that Xie Wuxiao does not know.
He tiptoed to look, but he didn't expect the village chief to see them, and beckoned with a smile: "Lingbao, Gongzi Xie, come here." β
Ling Bao jumped forward and asked excitedly, "Uncle Village Chief, do you want me to be the first?" β
Village Chief: "Yes, yes, you're a great contributor to all of us, of course you've got to be the first." Everyone's okay, right? β
"No opinion, no opinion! Lingbao sit up, let's see how much heavier you are? β
Lingbao was not stage frightened at all, shouted loudly "Okay", and then hummed and climbed to the bench to do it, holding the edge of the bench tightly with both hands, and wanted to weigh but was afraid that he would fall.
Cheng Yun and Cheng Yi stood beside him, unconsciously half-stretching out his hands, and his eyes never left Lingbao.
Xie Wuxian looked at it and also stood in front.
No one squeezed him, and some people made way for him to make a place.
The village chief stuffed a stone into Lingbao's arms, one to increase the weight, and the other to take the meaning of longevity, which is their old tradition.
The village chief moves the scales, and there is a particular one here, the scales can only be moved outward, not inward, which means that it is not good.
"Thirty-nine pounds of size, three princes and nine kings come inside; Sixty pounds at the age of nine, and six or six shun after the age of ten; weighed a dozen dozen pounds of flowers, and Jiazi turned twenty-three grandsons; Calling the flower seventy-three, the villain will grow out of the mountain; At a young age of seventy pounds, it is not difficult to find a seven-grade county official; Weigh a dozen and twenty-three, and the petty officials will grow up to go out of the mountain. Don't make it difficult for the county officials of Qipin, and the three princes and nine kings are also easy to climbββ"
The village chief sang a ballad in a loud voice.
Xie Wuxian didn't understand well, so he quietly asked Cheng Yun and Cheng Yi: "What do you mean?" β
It's a pity that Cheng Yun and Cheng Yi don't know that it is the first time for them to spend Lixia in Beihe Village, but it sounds auspicious!
After Lingbao finished weighing, Cheng Yun reached out to hug her down, and Lingbao jumped twice like a rabbit: "Uncle Village Chief, how much am I doing?" β
The village chief said, "Thirty-six pounds! β
It is worth mentioning that when reporting the number of catties, it may not be the real weight, but to find an auspicious number nearby.
For example, Lingbao is actually only thirty-four pounds, but Liuda Shun sounds so good!
Lingbao wowed: "I'm really much heavier than last year!" β
Among the common people, eating fat is a very blessed thing!
The village chief said, "You can't relax, you have to eat harder, you know?" β
"Uh-huh!" Lingbao patted his belly, "I'm full every day!" β
"Uncle the village chief, you give me my eldest brother and second brother, and my unharmed brother also weighs it." Lingbao said.
The village chief agreed: "Okay, come, come!" β
Cheng Yun waved his hand and said with a smile: "I'll forget it......"
"Can't be counted, can't be counted!" Lingbao pushed Cheng Yun's leg and tried his best to persuade him, "Big brother, don't worry, the scale is very strong and won't break." β
Cheng Yun: "......"
Originally, she wasn't worried, but as soon as she said it, Cheng Yun was really a little worried.
"Big brother, hurry up, Lixia weighed this day so that he will not be afraid of the heat, not afraid of emaciation, and will not get sick, it is a good thing!" Ling Bao said with a blank eye, "Go big brother, go go go." β
What can Cheng Yun do, he has always been unable to stand his sister's eyes.
It's just that the strings in my heart are tense when I sit on it, and I am afraid of falling down, and it feels strange to be stared at and weighed by so many people......
Fortunately, time passed quickly, and Cheng Yun couldn't wait to jump down and go up as Cheng Yi.
Cheng Yi was full of energy, jumped up on the spot, and pressed the scale down, startling the village chief.
Realizing that he had done something wrong, Cheng Yi scratched his head embarrassedly.
In the eyes of the village chief, Cheng Yun and Cheng Yi are still children, so when weighing their weights, the ballad is the same as Lingbao.
Xie Wuxian originally thought it was just as interesting, but Lingbao Cheng Yun and Cheng Yi went up one after another, and the "fun" in the process seemed to be doubled, making him look forward to his turn.
"Little Master Xie, it's your turn." The village chief said happily.
Xie Wuxian climbed up with his hands and feet, the bench shook for a moment, and he subconsciously grabbed the hand of the village chief who had not taken it away.
Unlike the hands he had seen before, this one was dark, wrinkled, and dry.
However, it's a little warmer.
Xie Wuxian's ballad and Lingbao were the same, but he still listened to them with relish.
The ballads of calling the youth, the girl, the woman, and the old man are all different, and everyone has to weigh them, so it takes a long time until noon.
After eating breakfast, Lingbao also wanted to play the game of "egg fighting", but he didn't expect it to rain.
She had no choice but to dispel this thought, sat on the bench, crossed her feet and asked, "Big brother, haven't you weighed yourself before?" β
Cheng Yun said: "I have weighed it a few times, but I haven't weighed it in Lixia." β
He had seen the custom of weighing himself in books, but what impressed Li Xia the most was that the Holy Lord would give ice to civil and military officials on this day.
Their mother, Princess Kangyang, as the younger sister of the saint, can naturally be rewarded, plus his father's share, his family has never been short of ice cubes.
The summer rain came and went as fast as it came, and as soon as the land was wet, it stopped without warning.
Cheng Yun planned to go to the county seat, just after the book was copied, and he wanted to ask Miao Manniang if she had any plans to cooperate.
Lingbao also went with her, she hadn't seen Sister Shang for a long time.
Sensing that someone was coming in, Miao Manniang subconsciously raised her head, and her eyes immediately lit up: "You guys are here, I am planning to look for you in the next two days!" β
Cheng Yun nodded indifferently and asked straight to the point, "How are you thinking about it?" β
Miao Manniang asked, "If I want it, how much do you want?" β
She had to ask this first, because she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to take it out herself.
Cheng Yun said: "Two methods, I will sell this method to you directly, I don't care about the rest, or I will give you the method for free, but we will share all the benefits in the future." β
Miao Manniang pondered for a moment, she was shy now, if it was the first method, she might not be able to take out so much money.
In order to maintain the operation of the shop, the in-laws have already made up a lot, so the sister-in-law is yin and yang all day long, and the horizontal eyebrows are also half-dead.
It's the second way, she only needs to invest in the cost, which is feasible.
The main reason is that she is reluctant to do this, her second sister-in-law has used it for so long, and the spots on her hands have really faded a lot, this is what she has seen with her own eyes, and she can't fake it.
Miao Manniang can open a shop by herself, and she is also a person with ideas, she has a hunch, maybe this is the turning point of the Miao family's incense powder shop back to life!
Miao Manniang raised her head, her eyes resolute: "I'll choose the second one." β
