Under the gaze of the two, Hua Shi lowered his head and lifted the cloth covering the top of the bamboo basket, revealing the frosted dates and candied dates wrapped in butter paper below.

He Jiang, who was standing behind Xie Mingchi's side, poked his head, sniffed his nose that was numb from the cold, and took a closer look at the contents of the bamboo basket.

Xie Mingchi's gaze also fell on Hua Shi's body.

After Hua Shi put things out, he said, "I made these all by myself with winter dates, and I made two things in total, so you can take them and taste them." ”

He Jiang turned his head to look at Xie Mingchi, who was standing on the side, and then looked at Hua Shi.

Xie Mingchi reached out to get a frosted date first, and when He Jiang saw that he stretched out his hand, he reached over.

This jujube wrapped in a layer of yellow sugar grains, I don't know what to do, I bite into it, it is crisp and crisp, and the mouth is full of the pot fragrance of jujubes, which is a little less wet and sweet, and a little more refreshing and crispy.

The other kind of moist and soft dates, which looked like candied fruit, he had seen them at the dim sum shop in town, but they were so sweet that eating a piece of it would make his throat taste sweet and greasy.

He doesn't like that taste very much, but the taste of this candied date is less sweet and greasy than candied fruit, and it has more soft chewiness, and it is just right to chew it in your mouth......

He Jiang's eyes were a little distracted from the cold, and they were obviously a little brighter, "You did it yourself?" ”

Xie Mingchi also followed.

It seems that he is also quite curious about this processed date.

He has never liked to eat such sweet and greasy things, but the one she made was not as greasy as the one she had eaten before, even for people who didn't like sweets, it was just right to eat......

Hua Shi saw the obviously surprised expressions of the two, and the originally tense hearts were relieved a little.

She nodded, "I made it, how do you taste it?" ”

He Jiang gave her a thumbs up and praised her unabashedly, "It's very sweet, I taste just right." ”

Xie Mingchi on the side nodded in agreement, and praised in a low voice without hesitation, "It's delicious." ”

Hanashi glanced at him with some surprise.

Xie Mingchi lowered his eyes, and the expression on his face didn't seem to change.

Hua Shi looked at He Jiang again and asked what he had always wanted to say, "Is it feasible for me to sell these winter dates in the town after I have made them?" ”

Because it is processed with sugar, and it is snowing heavily, even if it is put for half a month, it will not be bad, and if it cannot be sold, it can be stored for a longer time......

When He Jiang heard her words, he suddenly realized, his head flashed, and he immediately responded, "Of course it's okay!" ”

He has been running back and forth between Peach Blossom Town and the village for five or six years, and he can be said to know the situation in the town well, and because he has been following Brother Mingchi to sell prey in the mountains, he has accumulated over the years, and he also has a lot of his own ways and connections.

"In this case, if you help me bring things to the town to sell, I will give you a commission from it, if it is all sold, the commission will be taken from it, if it is sold less, it will only be five percent, if it is not sold at all, I will not let you run for nothing, I will still give you the errand fee, what do you think?"

Hua Shi didn't go around the pass, and directly said his true purpose straight to the point.

After He Jiang listened to her words, he didn't answer a mouthful.

He has been in business for so long, and he is less than half a businessman, and the first step for a businessman is to weigh the pros and cons of such a product......

He looked at the contents of the bamboo basket, thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "You don't have to give me a share, I can spend three taels of silver to buy all the things in this basket." ”

There was a pause.

She didn't expect He Jiang to do this, if she bought everything, there were pros and cons, if this basket of things was really worth this value, he himself had the ability to more than double these things.

But at the same time, he also has to bear the risk that these items cannot be sold, if he spends three taels of silver, but he can't sell them, then he will lose a lot of money.

"Are you sure you want to buy them all yourself?"

Of course, there was no objection when she spent it, three taels of silver was in her budget, and the price He Jiang gave was also very sincere.

After weighing the pros and cons, she would prefer to get the three taels of silver now, and she urgently needs this money now.

Because she didn't know how long He Jiang would go back to the village this time, if he only came back once in half a month, Yuanshui couldn't save the near fire, so of course she was more inclined to sell things to get money first.

The light in He Jiang's eyes never fell, and he nodded, "If you are too little, I can add a little more." ”

"No, you don't."

Seeing that He Jiang still wanted to increase the price again, he paused again and waved his hand to refuse.

He Jiang took out the money bag he had been carrying with him from his belt, counted three pieces of broken silver from it, and handed it to Hua Shi.

Hua Shi took the silver and handed over the bamboo basket.

"I'll take this bamboo basket with me first, and I'll send it back to you next time."

After He Jiang took the bamboo basket, he said with a smile.

He seemed very happy, he didn't know what he was planning, and he obviously had his own way.

Hua Shi waved his hand and said, "No need, the basket will be given to you." ”

Bamboo baskets are not a valuable thing, and there are still several piled up in the small courtyard of the Hua family.

The backyard is a large bamboo forest, and she often goes to the backyard to cut bamboo when she has time, which is used to make some small tools, bamboo baskets, bamboo tubes... She's learned a lot.

Not to mention that she can weave bamboo baskets, even Hua Xiao and Hua Li can do it, so such a bamboo basket is not a valuable thing.

He Jiang looked very precious holding the bamboo basket, looked at it several times, and no one knew what he was thinking about in his heart.

After saying hello to Xie Mingchi and Hua Shi, he took his things and left in the snow.

It turned out that Xie Mingchi told him that he had something to say to him, and now that the matter is over, he is busy with something, so it is not good to continue to stay.

The only two people who were left were still standing opposite each other in front of the courtyard gate.

Hua Shi kept looking down at the broken silver in the palm of his hand, and there was some indescribable feeling in his heart.

This was the first time she had seen broken silver like this, and it was a little heavy......

She put away her immersed thoughts, raised her eyes to look at Xie Mingchi, who was standing in the snow, her body was already covered with snow, and said, "You should go back quickly." ”

Xie Mingchi didn't answer, but suddenly picked up the cloth bag in his hand and handed it to Hua Shi.

Hua Shi was stunned by his movements, "What...?" ”

Fang Cai didn t notice that xie mingchi was still holding something in his hand, and at this moment, suddenly a big bag of things was picked up and slammed in front of him, and he didn't have time to react when he spent it, what is this.

Xie Mingchi looked at her, coughed lightly, and his voice was a little unnatural, "For you." ”

"No need."

As soon as Hua Shi heard these three familiar words, he refused without thinking about it.

Again and again, she is not a fool, and naturally she has reacted, since the two of them set up a relationship, Xie Mingchi has gone from ignoring his previous attitude of ignoring himself to now... From time to time, I show favor and send things, in comparison, it is very different.

She didn't quite know why Xie Mingchi's attitude towards her before was indifferent, close to ignoring, but his changed attitude now, Hua Shi was very clear.

It's all because of the family affair that the two of them have made on the surface......

Although the Li family almost sold her to the Xie family for five taels of silver, Hua Shi didn't know much about Xie Mingchi and the Xie family, and so far, she didn't want to marry so soon......

Recently, Li's difficulties have become more and more arrogant, whether it is her or Hua Yu, they are all frightened and worried in the Hua family.

Instead, she had another idea, took Hua Yu and the four of them, moved out of Hua's house, and separated them......

In just a few seconds, Xie Mingchi suddenly took two steps forward and stuffed the things in his hand into her hand a little stiffly.

"After today, there will be several heavy snowfalls, and you are thinly dressed and frozen carefully...... If you don't want to ask for it in vain, give me money as if you bought it. ”

When Xie Mingchi said this, he obviously didn't have any expression on his face, but Hua Shi could hear the vague depression in his tone.

Seeing that her expression was full of rejection, what he said later turned a corner and changed his words......

Hua Shi subconsciously touched the package in his hand, and under Xie Mingchi's gaze, he opened it and looked at the contents of it.

There were several thick clothes in some old bags, and she carefully flipped through them twice, and counted them carefully, and there were five or six of them, which filled the bags to the brim, and the material of the clothes was not coarse linen, which was a common cheesecloth in the village, not very expensive, but better than the one she was wearing now.

Hua Shi's hand that she just wanted to shirk stopped, these clothes looked very good, and they were what she lacked the most now.

"How much does this cost?" She asked.

"A hundred pennies is enough." Xie Mingchi replied.

After a pause, a piece of burlap costs 400 yuan, and this kind of burlap is a grade better than burlap, and it is easy to say that it costs more than 500 yuan to get a horse.

One piece of cloth is only enough to make two clothes at most, and children can squeeze out three clothes with less cloth......

Not to mention how much money this fabric is, this cheesecloth is also embedded with fine cotton, and the price of the garment sewn by human hands, stitches and threads, is calculated separately.

It is impossible to buy so many clothes for a hundred pennies......

He saw that she refused to accept her things, so he casually quoted a price, so that she could accept her things with peace of mind.

Hua Shi pinched the three pieces of broken silver that had just arrived in his hand and had not yet warmed up, divided one of them, and stuffed one or two pieces of silver over.

Xie Mingchi was dragged by her arm, put his hands behind his back, shook his head very seriously, and said, "I don't want it, one or two pieces of silver is too much." ”

These were originally meant to be given to his daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law didn't want his things, so he didn't dare to stuff them, for fear that she would be unhappy, so he casually reported the number, and just wanted her to accept the things.

A tael of silver was too much, and he didn't want to take it at all......

"You take it."

Hua Shi reached out again and tugged at the half of his exposed arm.

Although she can't estimate whether one or two taels of silver is enough, it should be very different.

Xie Mingchi stood firmly, his hands behind his back, and he refused to move out no matter how much Hua Shi dragged him.

"Too much, I don't want it."

He is still those three words, and the words he says at this time are hard, like a tendon.

Hua Shi couldn't pull his hand, but instead stuffed the silver directly into his belt, and while he was stunned, he turned around and pushed the door open, and entered the courtyard, not giving him a chance to react.

"Bang."

The small wooden door in front of him slammed and closed straight.

Xie Mingchi covered his waist and abdomen, took out the piece of broken silver that was stuffed into his belt, and his brows furrowed tightly, these expressions were really depressed.

Is he really that annoying?

Why did Ah Shi come down several times, and he was so polite every time?

Or is it ...... His previous attitude was too cold? I also misunderstood her... Ah Shi didn't want to have anything to do with him at all...?

Wouldn't it be better for him to apologize... But it's been so long, doesn't it seem too insincere to apologize again......

The tall man stood outside the courtyard gate, his head hung and his brows tightly wrinkled.

No one knows what kind of chaos he is in his heart at the moment......

…
