69. White as snow
Brother Hua also sniffed lightly between his noses, and made a gesture to peel the skin under Xiao Si's distressed gaze.
Don't ask him how he knows how to peel the skin, if he asks, he has eyes to see, and Xiao Si can hold the skin in his other hand.
Xiao Si twitched in pain with his brother's movements, his eyes looked at it, and Brother Hua laughed directly.
"Sample, here you go" After speaking, he put the orange in his hand into the little brother's hand.
Xiao Si's eyes lit up and his face changed instantly, and he grinned at his brothers, and paused when he was holding the orange and wanted to put it in his satchel.
After hesitating, he quickly peeled off the orange in his hand and divided it into four parts.
"Big brother, second brother, sister, let's eat together."
As a foodie, I was still a little distressed when I peeled it, after all, it was too little, but I didn't give up when I peeled off the little four.
His brothers and sisters kept everything delicious for him, and he also had to share it with his brothers and sisters, although it was really distressing.
Brother Hua, Second Brother Hua, including Hua Jin, all smiled when they looked at the oranges that were divided into four parts, and couldn't help but touch Xiao Si's head, especially Hua Jin felt that this younger brother was getting more and more painful.
It is said that the younger brother loves to eat and loves to eat, and the buckle is also a real buckle, but it is really good for the family and the brothers and sisters.
"Hmm...... It's so sweet" As soon as he put it in his mouth, the second brother Hua said exaggeratedly, and his eyes lit up.
The eldest brother Hua Yunao also nodded with burning eyes, it was indeed very sweet, and he had never eaten such a delicious fruit.
Only the brocade is the most calm, after all, it is often eaten.
After feeling the delicious taste of oranges, the brothers remembered Xiao Si's words again and looked at their sister.
"Little sister, what's the matter with the salt in the four mouthfuls?"
Is it what they think?
There is only one type of salt that can be called salt, and it is usually used for cooking.
I saw Hua Jin smile mysteriously and swept his eyes at the hall, "Big brother, second brother, don't you know if you go and see for yourself." ”
Saying that, he took out a few more little orange brothers from his shoulder bag, and then took two more and gave them to Xiao Si, since this child is generous, she is also generous as a sister.
casually took the orange peel in Xiao Si's hand again, this thing has to be thrown back to the space to regenerate, it can't be wasted, otherwise you won't be able to eat the little orange, and your future life will be a lot less fun.
"I'll take a look at the mysterious," the bookshelves on Second Brother Hua were removed, and he turned around and walked to the hall.
Brother Hua glanced at his sister and removed the bookshelf on his back, but before he could take a step, he heard the second brother's surprised voice.
"Big brother, come and see?" There was even a slight shock in his voice.
couldn't help but look at her sister Hua Yunao again and quickened her pace, inexplicably always feeling that the second brother's shock had something to do with the younger sister.
Hua Jin followed behind clearly, the second brother's reaction was already good, didn't you see grandma and father and mother They couldn't extricate themselves from the surprise, and they still haven't eased up until now.
"It's ......"
When Brother Hua looked at a large pile of snow-white powdery things on the table, his eyes widened, and when he thought of Xiao Si's words, he involuntarily pinched a little and put it in his mouth to confirm.
The second brother Hua on the side was already sticking out his tongue with a salty mouth, but Rao still pinched it and put it in his mouth, as if he wanted to confirm and confirm and confirm.
"Big brother, do you feel it?" Second Brother Hua looked at the slightly stunned Brother Hua and said in surprise.
The salt on the table doesn't look clean and white, even the taste is very pure, it doesn't contain any impurities, and it doesn't have the bitter taste of the past, Second Brother Hua was shocked, I don't understand where I got this thing from at home, you must know that even the best salt in the shop is not like this.
Hua Yunxiang's loud voice also woke everyone else in the room.
"What's the matter, be quiet." The first thing the old woman did after she came back to her senses was to slap her second grandson, but her eyes were staring straight at the salt heart on the table and still jumping.
The coarse salt on the market is sold for at least 30 wen a catty, which is still the coarsest and worst, and the fine salt eaten by the rich and powerful is heard to reach a few dollars or even a few taels.
I have also seen the refined salt sold in the shop, and it is not the same grade as the one on the table, and there is not even room for comparison.
"Milk ......" Second Brother Hua shrunk his shoulders.
"Grandma, this ...... What's going on? Hua Yunxiang still couldn't hide his surprise and looked at the salt grains as white as snow on the table.
"Later, go to the stove and get some clean jars." The old woman looks at the big grandson who evokes the side of it.
The clay pot is not worth much, and the family always likes to pickle some vegetables, so these things are indispensable at all, and they will always prepare some from time to time.
Hua Yunao, who reacted, hurriedly "sighed" and quickly took two clean small jars from the stove room.
There is a lot of salt on the table, but in fact, it is less than two jars, five or six catties.
These days, Flora Jin has bought nearly ten catties of coarse salt back and forth, and it is not a small amount to be able to raise these.
After putting it in the jar and leaving enough for the family for a month, the old woman carried two jars of salt into her room, which was too precious to be placed in the stove.
The two brothers were still waiting for the family to solve their doubts, and when they saw that their grandmother had put things out and came out, Hua Yunao, who had always been steady, couldn't help it, and asked, "Grandma, can you talk about it now?" ”
"Is the door closed?" Hua Laohan did not answer his grandson's question, but cautiously looked in the direction of the gate.
"Don't worry, sir, it's closed," Second Brother Hua hurriedly said.
"You are not allowed to talk about the salt outside, do you hear it?" nodded, and the old man looked at the two grandsons and the little grandson who was playing at the door.
It's not that they don't believe in the children, on the contrary, their children have always been strict-mouthed, and they never talk nonsense about things at home.
If you know, you know, but you still have to be reminded.
"Don't worry, master" Hearing this, the brothers' expressions immediately straightened, and Xiao Si, who was playing with a slingshot at the door, also agreed.
Their brothers are not very old, but they also know the severity, they know that salt is not easy to obtain and it is very precious, but people can't do without salt, the important thing is that salt has always been controlled by the imperial court, and individuals are not allowed to collect and rule it privately.
"It's good that you know, your father and I must be tight-lipped about salt when we don't come up with a good charter, even your aunt can't say it, money moves people's hearts, we can't be lucky, there are many unscrupulous people in the world, do you understand?"
The two brothers glanced at each other, and there was something they didn't understand at this time.
At first, I thought that these things were brought by my grandfather and my father from other places, but listening to my grandfather's voice, it was obviously not, and the only reason why my grandfather was so solemn was that the salt on the table was homemade, and when I thought of the two brothers, their expressions immediately became more serious.
I even understood what the lord meant, there are many times better than fine salt in their house, if it is spread out, it will definitely cause an uproar, and it is a trivial matter to hand it over to the imperial court, I am afraid that some people will take risks, and then their family will .......
Thinking of this, the brothers trembled in their hearts almost at the same time, and their expressions became more and more solemn.
"Master, we understand." The brothers nodded solemnly, this is a matter of family safety, and they must indeed be cautious.
