Before fleeing famine, I evacuated the Duke's mansion and stockpiled tens of billions of suppli

Chapter 50 Taking Names

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 fell ill again. The symptoms were the same as those on the boat, foaming at the mouth and trembling all over.

Countless famous doctors were invited, and the final conclusion was that he was suffering from hysteria.

In addition to the prescriptions for recuperating the body, doctors can't prescribe other medicines.

It is said that heart disease still needs heart medicine, but what kind of heart disease can Yu Er have at such a young age?
Alas, nothing can come out of a child's mouth.

Gongsun Li sighed, looking gloomy.

"Patriarch! Patriarch! Not good!"

The second housekeeper of Gongsun's house ran in from the outside holding a tube of bamboo salt, and almost tripped and fell to the ground when he entered the door.

Gongsun Li scolded angrily: "You unlucky slave, what are you yelling at!"

"Ouch, Patriarch, no, look at this quickly." The flustered second housekeeper handed over the bamboo tube.

Gongsun Li picked up the bamboo tube and took a look inside: "What is this white powder?"

The second steward cupped his hands and said, "Master, it's salt!"

"Salt?" Gongsun Li was taken aback when he heard that, then dipped a little bit with his finger and put it into his mouth.

After Gongsun Li tasted it, his complexion changed drastically. This salt is indeed better than his sea salt, its color is as white as snow, and it only tastes fresh and salty, without any other peculiar smell.

"Where did you get the salt?"

The second housekeeper: "Master, I bought it at the newly opened Xu Ji Salt Shop. It only costs one tael of silver per catty."

"What?" After hearing this, Gongsun Li stood up from his chair: "What Xuji Salt Shop? Where does their salt come from?"

The second steward looked embarrassed: "This villain doesn't know."

"If you don't know, hurry up and check it out!" Gongsun Li picked up the teacup on the table and dropped it on the ground, causing the porcelain to splatter.

At this time, Gongsun Li was furious, and someone dared to sell private salt under his nose.

What's more, it happened to take advantage of the gap where Da Yuan's laws were not perfect.

Really ulterior motives, insidious and cunning!
Gongsun Li knew very well that salt was the economic lifeblood of a country, and it was because of this that King Yuan attracted him.

We can't let this Xu Ji salt shop continue to open, otherwise the Gongsun family's monopoly on the salt industry will be disrupted.

"Senior steward! You and the second steward go to investigate together. You must find out the results for me tonight. Also, tomorrow you will directly take people to the street and smash the Xu Ji salt shop!"

"No!" The butler, who had been standing by the side, responded quickly.

Gongsun Li took a deep breath, it seemed that he wanted to report to the Holy Majesty immediately and quickly promulgate laws to deal with these cunning troublemakers.

In Erlitun, on the outskirts of Changchun City, several men from the Xu family gathered to discuss the matter of hiring people to build a house.

The female relatives are filling the bamboo tubes with salt, so that they can be sold in the market tomorrow.

The children are all around the warm fire, watching the cubs drinking goat milk.

In the evening, Ozuki traded two bags of rice for a lactating ewe.

This goat milk is just squeezed from the ewe, and the goat smell is extremely strong.

The little guys stuck out their little pink tongues, baji baji, baji baji.

"His fifth aunt, you don't care about it anyway, how can you let Yue'er raise a wolf, how dangerous it is." The second girl glanced at the little wolf cub on the ground.

Shen Yinxing: "Oh, it's okay. I've already said that it might be a wolfhound. If the child wants to raise it, he can raise it. We'll see when he grows up."

"Whether they can be raised or not is another matter. When the children wear off their freshness, they might be lost." Seventh Aunt interjected.

Five little furry wolves are full of milk and start to wreak havoc.

Biting here, biting there, clearly unable to stand still while walking.

"Aww. Aww"

These five cubs are all similar in appearance, and Obscure Moon can only be distinguished by body shape.

"Okay, don't run around, sit in a row for me, I'm going to give you names." Obscure Moon held down a little wolf that was about to run away with one hand, causing the little wolf to howl.

Then she arranged the five pups according to their size.

The biggest wolf cub walks with a bit of majesty.

Ozuki thought for a while: "Then I'll call you Xiaotian from now on."

The second child is quieter and has whiter fur.

Obscure Moon wanted to give it a literary name, but after thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't come up with it, and finally nodded her forehead: "Then I'll call you Quiet."

The third child is agile but has a bad temper. He starts baring his teeth whenever someone approaches him. He looks super fierce.

As soon as the third child gritted his teeth at Misty Moon, Xu Ajiu slapped him with a slap, and he didn't have a long memory after slapping him many times.

Obscure Moon felt that this guy would be a thorn in the future, touched its small ears and said: "You are so fierce, you will not be able to get a wife in the future, so let's call you soft."

Well, I want to give the craziest wolf the softest name.

The fourth child is lively and active, wanting to go up and take a sip of everything he sees, so chickens and ducks run all over the yard.

"Then call you Pippi."

The fifth child is the youngest, but his eyes are the largest and roundest among the brothers and sisters. He likes to grin and always looks smiling.

"Well, I'll call you Coke from now on."

After naming the cubs one by one, Ozuki realized that she had made a mistake.

Xiaotian, who is the biggest, is actually puffy, and he doesn't have a lot of flesh on his body, but his hair is relatively strong
After taking the names, Ozuki spread a thick layer of straw in the bamboo basket where the little ones slept, and then put the bamboo basket into an empty tent.

Because the nights are getting cooler now and the temperature has dropped, she is afraid that these little ones who are not yet full-term will freeze to death at night.

Tomorrow, Dad will hire some masons and carpenters to help build the house. I heard that the best craftsmen in Changchun City can build the house in half a month.

In half a month, the weather will turn cold, just in time to live in a warm house.

Today I earned 30 taels of silver, bought a big cart, and adopted five cute cubs. It was a beautiful day.

Ozuki was a little excited thinking about it, and gradually lost her sleepiness.

Then she fixed her eyes on the top of the tent, counted the dates, and found that tomorrow seemed to be the beginning of winter.

In her hometown, dumplings are eaten on the day of Lidong, and glutinous rice balls are eaten on the day of the winter solstice.

How about teaching my aunts to make dumplings tomorrow?
Hee hee, she wants to eat stuffed with cabbage and pork, stuffed with three fresh mushrooms, stuffed with corn and shrimp, stuffed with leek and pork, she wants to eat anything.

Thinking about it, Ozuki felt sleepy, and went to eat dumplings in her dream.

Outside the tent, the night was as dark as ink, and the sky and the earth were pitch black except for a full moon hanging high.

About three miles away from the outskirts of Changchun City, a majestic silver giant wolf was stepping on the moonlight and howling at the sky.

oooo~
This long howl full of sorrow and concern was spread far, far away by the night wind.

At the same time, the little wolf cubs in the camp tent also heard the movement, pricked up their ears, and responded one after another.

　Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, thank you for your company.

　　Happy New Year to everyone in advance~
　　yah~
