Shock!My pampered fool is the regent

Chapter 33 Buying Firewood
Ji Xiaoxiao added a little flour to the batter, "Stay for breakfast."

Ji Lin was a little embarrassed, "No... No need, Xiaoyu and I will go home and do it ourselves."

When he first came, he didn't think much about it, he just wanted to tell the young lady and Big Brother Ye what he had heard, but just in time to cook, Ji Lin dared to swear that he had absolutely no intention of coming to eat.

Ji Xiaoxiao raised her chin, "Start the fire." After speaking, she looked down at the two siblings whose cheeks were flushed, "I don't care, I have to stay today."

Ji Lin scratched his head tangled, he didn't do anything to have a meal with his sister for nothing, which was too bad, Ji Lin looked at Ji Xiaoxiao and wanted to say something, and saw that Ji Xiaoxiao had withdrawn his eyes long ago. , start pancakes.

Ji Yu didn't think about it too much, she was now focused on the fragrance from the pot, licking her lips from time to time, and she was drooling.

Ji Lin saw Ji Yu's expression, and couldn't say what he wanted to leave. He looked left and right, and ran directly to Ye Wuyan, "Brother Ye, I'll do the work of burning the fire."

Ye Wuyan looked at Ji Lin in front of him, heard Ji Xiaoxiao secretly glanced at him, then got up directly, "You come." After saying that, he walked to Ji Xiaoxiao's side without waiting for Ji Lin's reaction, and followed Ji Xiaoxiao wandered behind him.

It would be better if someone helped set the fire, and he could get closer to the lady.

Ji Xiaoxiao shook her head helplessly and chuckled when she saw Ye Wuyan's movements, "Stand well, don't move."

The stove was not big at first, and Ye Wuyan, a tall and tall adult man, filled the stove at once, Ji Xiaoxiao turned around and was about to hit Ye Wuyan's chest, Ye Wuyan returned Keeping around, Ji Xiaoxiao's actions are even more inconvenient.

Ye Wuyan blinked his eyes aggrieved, his expression was visibly low, and his voice was sullen, "Oh."

Seeing him pretending to be pitiful, Ji Xiaoxiao laughed and picked up a baked egg cake with chopsticks, "Okay, try it and see if you like it."

Ye Wuyan was instantly happy, opened his mouth and took a bite of the egg cake that Ji Xiaoxiao handed to his mouth, "It's delicious."

Ji Yu saw Ye Wuyan eating the egg pancake and couldn't help swallowing. Ji Xiaoxiao saw Ji Yu's longing in his eyes, and handed a pair of chopsticks forward, "Xiaoyu will also try it for the little lady, okay? good to eat."

Ji Yu's eyes lit up, and the whole face was full of smiles, "Okay."

Ji Xiaoxiao smiled and baked the rest of the batter. In addition to the egg cake, Ji Xiaoxiao also cooked porridge. The four of them ate the breakfast prepared by Ji Xiaoxiao. People kept praising the past.

After breakfast, Ji Lin and Ji Yu took over the dishwashing work, and Ji Xiaoxiao received the staff sent by Chen Ji Restaurant to fetch hot pot ingredients.

The person who came was the second shopkeeper who first received them at Chenji Restaurant. The second shopkeeper didn't say much when he entered the yard. He smiled and said hello and went straight to the point. Their shopkeeper and the son were still waiting for him to bring back the hot pot ingredients.

The shop assistant smiled respectfully at the two of them, "Good morning, both of you. I didn't bother you. I'm here to get the goods."

"Wuyan, you go and move the things out." Ji Xiaoxiao finished smiling and looked at the shop assistant, "Of course not, you guys will wait, I'll give you the things."

The shop assistant quickly responded with a smile, "Okay, okay, okay, or we can move it by ourselves, Young Master Ye shouldn't be able to move it alone."

Ji Xiaoxiao nodded, "Okay, you can go in with Wuyan." She offered to help her so that she wouldn't refuse stupidly.

The second shopkeeper brought the two people who came together and directly loaded the hot pot ingredients into the carriage, waited for all the hot pot ingredients to be packed, said hello, and left immediately.

Ji Lin and Ji Yu stuck their heads out of the kitchen curiously. Ji Yu looked at Ji Lin and asked with laughter, "Brother, is that a carriage? Do young lady and Big Brother Ye actually know a rich man with a carriage? It's amazing."

Ji Lin rubbed Ji Yu's head, "Of course they are amazing, don't think so much, just wash the dishes."

Ji Yu pouted, she was just a little curious, Ji Yu took a few glances again before taking back her gaze and followed Ji Lin to the stove.

Everyone in the village saw the carriage that entered the village, and also saw the carriage parked at the door of Ye Wuyan's house, watching several people take out some oil paper bags from the yard, and everyone started talking.

"You see, it's a carriage. Look at the curtains, it's better than the material we make clothes."

"I actually went to Ye's house, and I don't know what was moved out?"

"Yeah, I saw a lot of them being moved. Could it be that I found some medicinal herbs?"

"Isn't it so lucky? Besides, there are so many medicinal herbs?"

"I think the life of Ye Wuyan and Ji Xiaoxiao has gotten better."

There was an aunt with a sullen face, "Who said it wasn't, the two of them had a hard life before they got married. Who knew that they would actually live a better life after they got married."

"You said that their life suddenly improved, is it Ji Xiaoxiao's prosperous husband or Ye Wuyan's prosperous wife." An aunt had a bit of teasing on her face.

"Hahaha, what Aunt Xiuhua said is really the same thing."

In an instant, everyone's conversation shifted from the luxury carriage to Ji Xiaoxiao and Ye Wuyan themselves.

Ji Lin took Ji Yu to leave after washing the dishes, Ji Xiaoxiao hurriedly said to the two of them, "Are you picking up firewood to sell?"

Ji Xiaoxiao thought that the building of a new house would start tomorrow. When a dozen people were eating, their firewood would definitely not last for a few days, and they had to buy a lot of firewood. Ji Xiaoxiao thought about it and rejected the idea.

Ji Lin nodded, "Young miss, do you want firewood? I'll bring some to you at home."

Ji Xiaoxiao hurriedly smiled and said, "It is necessary, and it requires a lot of money. Send me as much as you have, and give you money."

Ji Lin shook his head seriously, "I don't want money, the young lady invited us to dinner and gave me a job. This is my reward."

The little lady has helped him and his sister a lot, let them eat meat they haven't eaten for many years, and gave them delicious fruit, and she doesn't dislike him for hiring him to work, and the wages are so much. , Ji Lin has nothing to repay now. Now that Ji Xiaoxiao asked for firewood, he instantly decided not to pay and gave it for free.

Ji Xiaoxiao's face was serious, "That's not good, I don't want you if you don't want the money. Anyway, the two of you worked so hard to pick it up. If you say it out, others think I'm bullying you."

Ji Lin looked anxious, "No, I gave it voluntarily."

Ji Xiaoxiao smiled and patted Ji Lin's shoulder, "Okay, I know it's what you want to give, but I'm not someone who takes advantage of others, you send it to me, and each bundle gives you eight cents, just Okay, so don't refuse."

Ji Lin raised his head and looked at Ji Xiaoxiao for a long time before he reluctantly said, "Then don't need so much, five pennies is enough."

The price of eight cents is the price in the town. In the countryside, firewood is usually sold for about five or six cents. If it is better, it can be sold for seven cents. Since the young lady must collect money, she must give her the lowest price.

Ji Xiaoxiao pondered, rubbing her right hand on her chin, "How about Qiwen?"

"no!"

Ji Xiaoxiao finally reluctantly compromised: "That's Liuwen."

When Ji Lin refused, don't stop Ji Xiaoxiao and go back, "It's just this price, or I'll buy someone else's."

Ji Lin choked, "Okay, I'll deliver it later." Ji Lin thought that there was a lot of firewood that he and Ji Yu had picked up before, and they would all be delivered to the young lady later.

Thinking of the price Ji Xiaoxiao gave, Ji Lin secretly decided in his heart that when he got home and increased the number of bundles of firewood, he must not let the young lady and the others lose money.

Ji Xiaoxiao smiled and took Ye Wuyan's hand beside him, "I'll go with you, Brother Ye, how long will it take you two to move it up?"

"Ah?" Ji Lin was stunned. How could this young lady and Big Brother Ye go over with him to increase the amount of firewood? Ji Lin quickly refused.

Ji Xiaoxiao didn't take Ji Lin's refusal at all, took Ye Wuyan and walked to the door, "Okay, you and I will be fine after a while, Brother Ye, why don't you do me a favor, it was originally what we wanted to buy. ."

Ji Lin anxiously rubbed his hands on the spot, and finally gave up his resistance completely under Ji Xiaoxiao's insistence, and said in a low voice, "Okay."

Ji Lin's family had quite a lot of firewood left, and he probably wanted to save it and bring it to the town to sell when he went to the market. Half of the open space in the yard was filled with firewood.

Ji Xiaoxiao didn't let Ji Yu, the youngest, do it. Although there is no such thing as child labor in this era, it's okay to use Ji Lin, a 12-year-old boy. Let her use Ji Yu, a six-year-old girl. My conscience really can't do it.

So when Ji Yu wanted to help, Ji Xiaoxiao refused righteously.

Ji Yu wanted to tell Ji Xiaoxiao that her worry was unnecessary. She did not know how many times she followed her brother to carry firewood, but seeing that at Ji Xiaoxiao's insistence, Ji Yu only held a few sticks with her hands this time. Chai followed behind the three ass.

The seat of the new house, Ji Xiaoxiao, is going to be built on the seat of the current old house, but Ji Xiaoxiao has made it a lot bigger. Now the old house is too small, and it is full of two rooms plus a kitchen.

Ji Xiaoxiao said this time to build a bigger house, their family is not bad now!
The three cleaned up the firewood in Jilin's yard. Ji Xiaoxiao looked at the instantly empty courtyard of Jilin's house and thought about it and turned to ask Jilin who was washing his hands, "Jilin, is this all the firewood moved? Here? Your house won't run out of firewood, right?"

Ji Xiao thought to himself, if he really brought all the firewood from Ji Lin's house, wouldn't the wool be too clean? Ji Lin also needs to make a fire to cook, so he might as well return some of it.

Ji Lin shook the water droplets from his hand, "No, we still have some in the kitchen, enough for Ji Yu and I for a few days, we can go to pick up firewood at any time, little miss don't worry. "

Ji Xiaoxiao was relieved when she heard that, it was all right, she was really afraid that Ji Lin wouldn't know how to keep a little bit of her own, and all moved to his house.

Ji Xiaoxiao felt the sixty pennies and handed it to Ji Lin, "Take it, there are ten bundles of firewood in total, that is, sixty pennies. Count whether the number is enough."

Ji Lin directly put the copper coins into the purse full of patches, "The little miss must be enough."

Ji Xiaoxiao chuckled, "What if I count wrong?"

Ji Lin looked at Ji Xiaoxiao seriously, "It's okay."

Ji Xiaoxiao looked at Ji Lin's serious face, couldn't hold back her hands and tugged at him, and only let him go when she saw Ji Lin's ears were turning red, "Okay, it's fine in the afternoon, you all go home."

Ji Lin held Ji Yu well, "Okay." After that, he left with Ji Yu.

Ji Yu smiled sweetly and waved, "Little Miss, Brother Ye, we're going back."

Ji Xiaoxiao simply reached out and waved, as a response to Ji Yu, Ye Wuyan imitated Ji Xiaoxiao's movements and waved his right hand as well.
