Chapter 6: The Day of Making Money (2)

When Qingfeng led Yuan Qi to her room and saw Yuan Qi excitedly pounce on the earth incense piled up in the corner, she realized that she had completely misunderstood Yuan Qi. The excitement of the second son of the pen www.biquge.info is on the pile of earth incense, not on himself.

While breathing a sigh of relief, Qingfeng couldn't help but feel a little regretful, who doesn't like a young man like the second son, who doesn't like it? Well, what am I thinking?

Yuan Qi's voice sounded at the right time, which made Qingfeng suddenly relieved of his predicament: "Sister Qingfeng, please go and get me a carving knife, a pair of scissors, a small pot of fire paint, and some Caihou paper." Qingfeng answered, turned around and walked out.

After a while, Qingfeng walked in with the things Yuan Qi needed, and asked suspiciously: "Second son, what are you going to do with these things?" Yuan Qi reached out and took a bunch of things from Qingfeng's hand, and then placed them on the table one by one, and said in a low voice: "Sister Qingfeng, you have to keep this matter secret for me, watch my actions carefully for a while, remember every detail, and we will rely on these things to supplement the family in the future." ”

Qingfeng asked puzzledly: "Subsidizing the family?, the lord gives you thirty yuan a month, which is not enough for you to build weapons, can these things still exceed thirty yuan?" Yuan Qi turned his head and smiled at Qingfeng, and said mysteriously: "Sister Qingfeng, wait for the things to be made, let alone thirty yuan, even three thousand yuan can be sold." After speaking, he didn't wait for Qingfeng to answer, and added to himself: "Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway." Qingfeng nodded seriously, and his tone was full of trust: "I believe it, no matter what the second son says, I believe it." ”

Yuan Qi felt Qingfeng's trust, and his heart was moved, in his previous life, except for his master, no one had ever cared about him like this. But since he was reborn, his parents, eldest brother Yuanhe, grandfather Yi, and the breeze in front of him have cared for him in every detail. This made Yuan Qi once again firm in the direction of his efforts, and he must achieve a hegemony and let his family live a happy life.

Stretching out his hand and pulling Qingfeng to sit down, Yuan Qi said seriously: "Sister Qingfeng, I have never treated you as an outsider, let alone as a subordinate, in my heart, you are my relatives, my sister, therefore, I am willing to tell you my secrets, carefully look at my approach, if one day you get married, you can also use this craft to support your family." ”

Qingfeng hurriedly stretched out his jade hand to cover Yuan Qi's mouth, and said angrily: "What nonsense, Qingfeng will always be the second son's person." After speaking, he found that there was a huge language problem in his words, and he didn't know how to remedy it for a while, so he hurriedly withdrew his jade hand, and his pretty face was flushed in a hurry. Yuan Qi was also embarrassed, coughed to hide the embarrassment in front of him, and then said, "Then let's start." Qingfeng hummed softly.

Yuan Qi spread the paper on the table, and then used scissors to cut the paper into palm-sized pieces, and in the blink of an eye, a piece of paper was cut into more than thirty small pieces by him. The paper in this world is rough and yellowish, and most people will not use such paper to write, firstly because the texture of the paper is not good, and secondly, because it is not easy to preserve and easy to break. Therefore, the paper of this period was not widely used.

Putting the cut paper aside, Yuan Qi picked up the carving knife with one hand and a piece of soil fragrant leaf with the other, and then used the carving knife to follow the veins of the soil fragrant leaf and carefully remove the leaf stem. Then put down the carving knife, pick up the soil fragrant leaves with both hands, and rub them vigorously until they are finely chopped. After that, pinch a pinch of leaf powder, put it on a piece of previously cut small paper, along the corner of the small paper, both hands began to rub together, the small paper was rolled into a cylinder shape, and the earth fragrant leaf powder was tightly wrapped inside. Finally, Yuan Qi took the fire paint and lightly touched it on the small paper to make the small paper stick together and not fall apart.

After this series of actions last night, Yuan Qi turned his head and asked Qingfeng: "Do you remember?" Qingfeng nodded lightly and said, "It's very simple, I remember it all." A bright smile appeared on Yuan Qi's face, and he said: "I'll make a few more, and you will do the rest, and there will be one last process tomorrow, and we will complete it together when the time comes." Qingfeng said: "Let me do the rest, I can do it." Yuan Qi was stunned, and then nodded briskly.

Qingfeng was still a little sluggish when he made the first cigarette, but from the second one, he became more and more proficient. In the end, it only took more than half an hour to make hundreds of cigarette rolls.

Leaving Qingfeng's room, Yuan got up and went to his parents' bedroom, saw that the light was still lit in the room, and stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door. "What's the matter?" came my father's majestic voice from the room. Yuan Qi hurriedly replied: "Father, it's a child." ”

"Come in. ”

"Yes. After Yuan Qi agreed, he gently pushed open the door and walked into the room, where he saw his mother and mother waiting for his father to wash his feet. Yuan Qi bent down and saluted, and said, "Father and mother are fine." Then he walked to the bed, bent down, reached out and pressed his mother's plain hands that were still stretched out in the basin, and whispered, "Mother, let the child come." ”

The mother was stunned, and then smiled: "How can you let the child wash the father's feet, your hands, you are holding a pen and a knife, how can you take the foot-washing water? Yuan Qi didn't speak, took his mother's hands out of the basin, then pulled his mother to stand up, and pressed her mother down on the bed. After that, he bent down again and washed his father's feet seriously.

Yuan Ying only had time to say two words: "Yuan Qi ....." and then choked up and couldn't speak. The mother sat aside, stretched out her hand and pressed the back of Yuan Ying's hand, and was also very relieved in her heart, and said, "Husband, Yuan Qi has grown up. Yuan Ying wiped the corners of his eyes without a trace, and then said, "Yes, we should be happy." ”

Yuan Qi finished washing his father's feet, and then picked up a towel on the side to dry his father's feet. After that, he changed a basin of water, brought it to his mother, and said, "Mother, it's time for you to wash your feet." The mother hurriedly dodged and said, "No, no, no, how can a man wash a woman's feet?" ”

Yuan Qi saw an opportunity, grabbed his mother's feet, then raised his head to look at his mother, and said word by word: "The man has gold under his knees, and he only kneels to heaven and earth and his parents." What's more, it's just a trivial matter of washing feet?" Without waiting for his mother to answer, Yuan Ying laughed and praised: "What a man has gold under his knees, and he only kneels to heaven and earth and his parents. Then he turned to his mother and said, "Madam, I think this matter will start from the beginning." When my mother heard this, she didn't struggle to dodge, but her eyes were full of bright tears.

After washing his mother's feet, Yuan Qi stood up and said to his parents, "Father and mother, the child has made a cigarette roll today, and I want to sell it in the market tomorrow to supplement the family." Yuan Ying asked in surprise: "What is a cigarette?" Yuan Qi thought about it, and changed to an easily acceptable statement: "It is incense, but the incense made by children is not burned in the incense burner, but after it is burned, it is for people to taste with their mouths, so that although the scope of the aroma has been reduced a lot, the taste will be more direct, and it has the effect of refreshing the mind and restoring physical strength." ”

Yuan Ying and his mother glanced at each other, and they both saw shock in each other's eyes. Yuan Ying opened his mouth and asked: "Qi'er, if this thing is really as you said, it will definitely be widely sold and popular in the world after a long time, but where did you get the method of making this cigarette?"

Yuan Qi knew that since he was reborn, all kinds of wild ideas can always make people feel shocked, and if he continues like this, I am afraid that he will be regarded as a demon, and he thought of a prevarication method. So, Yuan Qi knelt down in front of his parents and said: "The child has something that has been hidden in his heart and has never been told to anyone. Since the child was three years old, there was a master who came to the child's room every night to teach the child various skills, and the child usually practiced martial arts were taught by this master, and also taught some miscellaneous learning to the child. ”

Yuan Ying glanced at his mother again, shocked and inexplicable. According to Yuan Qi's statement, isn't it true that there has been a master in the family who has lived in seclusion since five years ago? Yuan Ying hurriedly asked: "Where is this master now?" ”

Yuan Qi continued: "Later, the child worshipped this master as a teacher, but the master never told me his name, I only knew his old man's name, Mr. Baiyun. As for Master's whereabouts, I lost contact with Master not long ago, and I can feel that I am afraid that I will never be able to meet Master again in this life. Speaking of this, Yuan Qi's tone fell. At first, he just planned to deceive his parents in good faith, but then as he spoke, he couldn't help but report Chen Luan's name.

Seeing Yuan Qi's sad appearance, his mother couldn't bear it, and hurriedly walked down, hugged Yuan Qi's head, and hugged him tightly in her arms. He comforted softly: "Get up, it's okay, maybe that master will appear one day in the future, and then you can continue to serve the master." ”

Yuan Qi felt the warmth from his mother's arms, his heart gradually calmed down, he reached out to wipe away the tears on his face, patted his mother's hand with his backhand, and said, "Mother, the child is fine, don't worry." ”

The mother and son stood up with each other's arms, and Yuan Qi helped his mother to sit down on the couch again, and then continued: "The child made some tobacco according to the production method taught by the master this time. Unexpectedly, he missed the master, so that he snorted and the child was rude. ”

Yuan Ying waved his hand again and again and said: "It's okay, respecting the teacher should be, why is it rude?" Madam, quickly take a piece of spice and give it to you, tomorrow when you make tobacco, your mother and I will also go to watch." ”
