Chapter 69 69. White as Snow

Brother Hua also put it between his nostrils and sniffed lightly, and under Xiao Si's distressed gaze, he made a gesture to peel it.

Don't ask him how he knows to peel the skin, just ask him if he has eyes to see, and Xiao Si can hold the skin in the other hand.

Xiaosi's heart twitched in pain following his brother's movements, and he watched eagerly, and Brother Hua laughed directly when he saw it.

"Small sample, here you are." After finishing speaking, he put the orange in his hand into the younger brother's hand.

Xiaosi's eyes lit up and his face changed instantly. He grinned at his brothers and started laughing. The hand holding the orange paused when he wanted to put it into the satchel.

After hesitating for a while, he quickly peeled off the skin of the tangerine in his hand and divided it into four parts.

"Big brother, second brother, sister, let's eat together."

As a foodie, I felt a little distressed when I peeled the skin, after all, it was too little, but I didn’t feel so reluctant after peeling Xiaosi.

The elder brothers and sisters will keep whatever delicious food they have for him, and he will share it with them, although it is really distressing.

Big Brother Hua, Second Brother Hua, including Hua Jin laughed when they saw the oranges divided into four, and couldn't help but patted Xiao Si's head, especially Hua Jin felt that this younger brother was getting more and more lovely.

It is said that if the younger brother loves to eat, he loves to eat, and the deduction is true, but it is really good for the family and the elder brothers and sisters.

"Hmm...so sweet" Second Brother Hua said exaggeratedly as soon as he stuffed it into his mouth, his eyes lit up.

Eldest brother Hua Yunao also nodded with bright eyes. It is indeed very sweet, and he has never eaten such a delicious fruit.

Only Huajin is the calmest, after all, I often eat it.

After feeling the delicacy of the oranges, the two brothers went back rationally, remembering Xiao Si's words, and looked at their sister.

"Little sister, what happened to the salt in the four mouths?"

Is it what they think?

There is only one kind of salt that can be called salt, and it is usually used for cooking.

Hua Jin smiled mysteriously and glanced at the room, "Big brother, second brother, go and see for yourself and you'll know."

As he spoke, he took out a few more satsuma oranges from the satchel, and then gave two to Xiaosi. Since the child is generous, she, the elder sister, should also be generous.

He casually took the orange peel from Xiao Si's hand, this thing has to be thrown back into the space to be regenerated, so it can't be wasted, otherwise you won't be able to eat small satsuma oranges, and your life will be much less fun in the future.

"It's so mysterious, I'll go and have a look." Brother Hua took off the bookshelf on his body, turned around and walked towards the main room.

Brother Hua glanced at his sister and also unloaded the bookshelf on his back, but before he could even take a step, he heard second brother's surprised voice.

"Brother, come and see?" There was even a little shock in the voice.

He couldn't help but glance at his younger sister Hua Yunao who quickened her pace, somehow 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 considered good, didn't they see grandma and parents unable to extricate themselves from the surprise?

"This is……"

Brother Hua's eyes widened when he looked at a large pile of snow-white powdery things on the table, thinking of Xiaosi's words, he involuntarily squeezed a little into his mouth to confirm.

The second brother Hua who was on the side had already stuck out his tongue, so he pinched it again and put it in his mouth, as if he wanted to confirm, confirm and confirm again.

"Brother, do you feel it?" Second Brother Hua looked at the startled Big Brother Hua in surprise.

The salt light on the table is very clean and white, and even the taste is very pure, without any impurities and without the bitter taste of the past. Brother Hua was shocked. He didn't understand where he got it at home. You must know that even the best salt in the shop is not like this.

Hua Yunxiang's loud voice also woke up everyone else in the room.

"What are you bluffing about, keep your voice down." The first thing Mrs. Hua did after she came back to her senses was to slap her second grandson, but her eyes were fixed on Yan Xin on the table, which was still throbbing.

Coarse salt on the market sells for at least [-] yuan a catty, which is the coarsest and worst. It is said that the fine salt eaten by the rich and powerful can cost as much as a few yuan or even a few taels.

I have seen the refined salt sold in the shop before, and it is not of the same grade as the one on the table, and there is no room for comparison.

"Grandma..." Brother Hua shrank his shoulders.

"Grandma, what... what's going on?" Hua Yunxiang still couldn't hide his surprise looking at the snow-white salt grains on the table.

"Let's talk about it later, go to the kitchen and get some clean pots." Mrs. Hua watched as she summoned her eldest grandson.

Clay pots are not worth much, and the family always likes to pickle some vegetables, so these things are absolutely indispensable, and they are always prepared from time to time.

After realizing it, Hua Yunao hurriedly said "ah", and quickly took two clean small jars from the kitchen.

The salt on the table looked like a lot, but in fact, it contained less than two jars, about five or six catties.

These days, Huajin has bought nearly ten catties of coarse salt back and forth, and it is not too little to be able to raise these.

After putting them into jars and leaving enough for the family to use for a month, Mrs. Hua carried the two jars of precious salt into her room. These things are too precious to be placed in the stove.

The two brothers were still waiting for their family members to clarify their doubts. Seeing that grandma had put away her things and came out, even Hua Yunao, who had always been prudent, couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Grandma, can we talk about it now?"

"Is the gate closed?" Old Man Hua didn't answer his grandson's question, but cautiously looked in the direction of the gate.

"Don't worry, master, it's closed," Second Brother Hua hurriedly said.

"You are not allowed to talk about the matter of salt, do you hear me?" The old man nodded and looked at the two grandsons and the little grandson who was playing at the door.

It's not that I don't trust the children, on the contrary, the children in their family have always been strict with their mouths, and they never talk about things at home.

You know, you know, but you still have to remind me.

"Don't worry, master." Hearing this, the two brothers immediately straightened their expressions, and Xiao Si, who was playing with a slingshot at the door, also agreed.

Their brothers are young, but they also know the importance. They knew that salt is not easy to obtain and is very precious, but people cannot do without salt. The important thing is that salt has always been controlled by the court and private harvesting by individuals is not allowed.

"It's good for you to be clear about the salt matter. Your father and I must keep our mouths shut when we don't come up with a good charter. Even your aunt can't say it. We can't take chances when money moves people's hearts. There are many unscrupulous people in the world, Yun Ao Yunxiang, do you understand?"

The two brothers looked at each other, and there was still something they didn't understand at this time.

At first, I thought that these things were obtained by my grandfather and father from other places, but it was obviously not the case from my grandfather's voice. The only reason why my grandfather was so solemn was that the salt on the table was made by myself. Thinking of the two brothers, their expressions immediately became more serious.

I even understood the meaning of the Lord. If they have something that is many times better than fine salt in their family, it will definitely cause an uproar. It is a trivial matter to hand it over to the court. I am afraid that some people will take risks. When the time comes, their family... .

Thinking of this, the hearts of the two brothers trembled almost at the same time, and their expressions became more dignified.

"Master, we understand." The two brothers nodded solemnly. This is an issue related to the safety of the family, so we must be cautious.
