Chapter 50: Choosing a Name for the Little Wolf
The magnificent Gongsun Mansion is still full of flowers, but Gongsun Li is not in the mood to appreciate it.
In the past few days, his youngest son has fallen ill again, and his symptoms are the same as those on the ship, foaming at the mouth and shaking all over.
I consulted countless famous doctors, and finally came to the conclusion that I had hysteria.
In addition to the prescription for recuperating the body, the doctors can't prescribe other prescriptions.
It is said that heart disease still needs heart medicine, but what heart disease can Yu'er have at such a young age?
Alas, nothing can be asked from the mouth of a child.
Gongsun Li sighed and looked depressed.
"The head of the house! Head of the house! Oh no! ”
The second housekeeper of the Gongsun family ran in from the outside with a tube of bamboo salt, and almost tripped and fell to the ground before entering the door.
Gongsun Li scolded angrily: "You are an unlucky minion, what are you yelling about!" ”
"Ouch, family master, no, look at this" The panicked second housekeeper handed over the bamboo tube.
Gongsun Li picked up the bamboo tube and glanced inside: "What is the powder of this white flower?" ”
The second housekeeper arched his hand and said, "Go home, it's salt!" ”
"Salt?" Gongsun Li was taken aback after hearing this, and then dipped a little of his finger into his mouth and put it in his mouth.
After Gongsun Li tasted it, his face changed greatly, this salt is indeed better than his sea salt, the color is as white as snow, and the entrance is only pure and salty, and there is no other peculiar smell.
"Where did you get this salt?"
The second housekeeper: "Go home, I bought it from the newly opened Xu Ji Salt Shop, and it only costs one tael of silver per catty." ”
"What?" After hearing this, Gongsun Li suddenly stood up from the chair: "What Xu Ji salt shop?" Where does their salt come from? ”
The second housekeeper looked embarrassed: "This... The villain doesn't know..."
"I don't know if I should check it out quickly!" Gongsun Li picked up the tea cup on the table and fell to the ground, and the porcelain splashed for a while.
At this time, Gongsun Li was already furious, and someone dared to sell illicit salt under his nose.
And it just happened to drill the gap where the law of Da Yuan was not yet perfect.
It's really ill-intentioned, insidious and cunning!
Gongsun Li knew very well that salt was the economic lifeblood of a country, and King Yuan also won him over because of this.
We can't let this Xu Ji salt shop continue to open, otherwise it will mess up the Gongsun family's monopoly on the salt industry.
"Great butler! You go to check with the second housekeeper, be sure to find out the results for me tonight, and tomorrow, you will directly take someone to the street and smash Xu Ji Salt Shop! ”
"No!" The big butler who had been standing next to him hurriedly responded.
Gongsun Li took a sharp breath, it seemed that he was going to report to the Holy Lord immediately, and quickly promulgated the law to rectify this gang of cunning people.
.....
In Erlitun, a suburb of Changchun City, several men of the Xu family got together to discuss hiring someone to build a house.
The ladies are loading salt into bamboo tubes so that they can be sold at the market tomorrow.
The little ones were around the warm fire, watching the little wolf cubs drink goat's milk.
In the evening, Haoyue exchanged two bags of rice for a lactating ewe.
The milk was freshly milked from the ewe, and the smell of the sheep was extremely strong.
The little ones spit out their little pink tongues, chirp, chirp, chirp.
"His fifth aunt, you don't care, how can you let Yue'er raise wolves, how dangerous is this." The second girl glanced at the little wolf cub on the ground.
Shen Yinxing: "Oh, it's okay, it's all said that it may be a wolf dog, and the child can raise it if he wants to, and I'll see it when he grows up." ”
"Whether you can raise them is another matter, when the children's freshness passes, maybe they will be lost." Aunt Qi interjected.
When the five fluffy wolves were fed with milk, they began to wreak havoc everywhere.
Biting here and biting there, obviously walking can't stand steadily.
"Whew... Whew..."
These five cubs all look about the same, and Haoyue can only be distinguished by their size at present.
"Alright, don't run around, sit in a row for me, I'm going to name you." Haoyue held down a little wolf who was about to run away with one hand, causing the little wolf to howl.
Then she arranged all five wolf cubs according to their size.
The largest wolf cub walks with a bit of a majestic style.
Haoyue thought for a while: "Then I'll call you Xiaotian from now on." ”
The second child is more quiet, and the coat color on his body is whiter.
Haoyue wanted to give it a literary name, but she didn't take it out after thinking about it for a long time, and finally nodded its forehead: "Then call you quiet." ”
The third child is agile but short-tempered, and when someone approaches, he starts to bare his teeth, and his small appearance is super fierce.
As soon as the third child bared his teeth at Haoyue, Xu Ajiu slapped it over, and he didn't have a long memory after hitting it many times.
Haoyue felt that this guy would be a thorn in the future, so she touched his little ears and said, "You are so fierce, you won't be able to get a wife in the future, so let's call you soft." ”
Well, it's to give the craziest wolf the softest and cute name.
The fourth child is lively and active, and he wants to go up and take a bite when he sees everything, and the chickens and ducklings run all over the yard.
"Then call you Pipsqueak."
The fifth child is the youngest, but his eyes are the largest and roundest among his siblings, he likes to grin, and he always looks like he is smiling.
"Well, I'll call you Coke from now on."
After choosing the names of the wolf cubs one by one, Haoyue realized that she had made a mistake.
The biggest Xiaotian is actually fat, and it doesn't have a few taels of flesh on it, but its hair is relatively vigorous......
After choosing the name, Haoyue spread a thick layer of straw into the bamboo basket where the little ones were sleeping, and then put the bamboo basket into an empty tent.
Because the nights are starting to get cooler and the temperature has dropped, she is afraid that these little ones who are not yet full of term will freeze to death at night.
Tomorrow Daddy will hire some masons and carpenters to help build the house, and I heard that the best craftsmen in Changchun City can build the house in half a month.
In half a month, the weather will get colder, and it will be just in time to be able to live in a warm house.
Today I earned thirty taels of silver, bought a large cart of things, and adopted five cute little cubs, what a beautiful day.
Haoyue was a little excited when she thought about it, and gradually lost her sleepiness.
Then she stared at the top of the tent, counting the date, and found that tomorrow seemed to be the beginning of winter.
In her hometown, she eats dumplings on the day of the beginning of winter, and she eats dumplings on the day of the winter solstice.
Why don't you teach your aunts to make dumplings tomorrow?
Hehe, if she wants to eat cabbage and pork filling, three fresh mushroom filling, corn and shrimp filling, leek pork filling, she wants to eat everything.
Thinking about it, Haoyue wanted to be sleepy, and then went to eat dumplings in her dream.
Outside the tent, the night was like ink, the sky and the earth were dark, and only a full moon hung high.
About three miles away from the outskirts of Changchun City, a majestic silver giant wolf was roaring to the sky in the moonlight.
Whew~
This long howl, full of poignancy and concern, was carried by the night wind far, far away.
At the same time, the wolf cubs in the camp tent also heard the movement, pricked up their ears at once, and then responded one after another.
