There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 7
It is said that Zhang Cuihua was arranged to buy wooden boxes, straw and other items.

She thought about it as she walked and felt that she must go back early to avoid accidents.

Suddenly, she had an idea and remembered a kind of jewelry box, which was relatively suitable in size and shape and not too expensive.

Buying a ready-made box is always faster than hiring a carpenter to build it.

As she said, Zhang Cuihua rushed to a jewelry store and expressed her willingness to buy a jewelry box.

"Oh, that kind of jewelry box, five cents each." The shopkeeper said lazily.

"Five cents..." Zhang Cuihua gritted her teeth. If she had been able to negotiate the price before, but this time she was pressed for time, she finally nodded and said: "Five cents, just five cents, I want a hundred!"

"One hundred... wait, what did you say?" The shopkeeper suddenly became energetic and smiled broadly: "You want one hundred, sir?"

"That's right! You don't have to worry about money." Zhang Cuihua went all out for her young lady. She took out her purse on the spot, which was filled with money.

"Sir, please take a seat. Haha, someone is here to serve tea."

The shopkeeper was overjoyed, this is a big customer!

But when the tea was delivered, the smile on the corner of the shopkeeper's mouth gradually solidified: "Oh no, there are only twenty of the jewelry boxes our guest wants in our store!"

"Only twenty!?" Zhang Cuihua stood up suddenly. For her own lady, she would accept five cents for a jewelry box, but in the end, the shopkeeper only had twenty.

"Don't worry, sir. There is another kind of jewelry box in our store, which is more beautiful than the five cents one. There are hundreds of them in stock... That's the price... twenty cents each!"

"What do you think, sir?" the shopkeeper smiled apologetically.

Zhang Cuihua was a little confused. Twenty five-word coins were equivalent to one hundred coins; eighty twenty-word coins were equivalent to one thousand six hundred coins. The total added up to one thousand seven hundred coins!

The past few years have been good. One penny can buy a steamed cake, and ten pence can buy a liter of grain.So [-] yuan is not a small amount of money, and it is the hard work of her and her own lady.

"Guest?" The shopkeeper kept a professional smile, but Zhang Cuihua couldn't decide for a long time, and the corners of his mouth almost froze with cramps.

"Row!"

Zhang Cuihua finally agreed.

In order to go back as soon as possible to protect the young lady, she decided to be bold.

He directly took out two taels of silver from his purse and handed it to the shopkeeper: "For the extra three hundred coins, please ask the shopkeeper to help hire a car. I will come back to pick up the goods later."

One tael of silver equals a thousand coins.

The shopkeeper was overjoyed and agreed immediately.

After Zhang Cuihua finished explaining, she went to buy a large amount of rice straw. Rice straw can be used as fodder for livestock, so there are many in the city...

After half an hour.

Zhang Cuihua hurried back home, carrying wooden boxes for two carriages and straw for three carriages.

When he opened the door, he saw Su Xian and Liu Huixiang sitting at the small wooden table against the wall chatting.

The strange thing is that Liu Huixiang actually put on the white gauze fence, covering her head, face and shoulders.

"Miss... what are you?" Zhang Cuihua was confused.

Then he breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Liu Huixiang wears a power fence on her head, obviously she wants to distance herself from Su Xian!
It turns out that the young lady knows how to protect herself!

Zhang Cuihua breathed a sigh of relief, but secretly felt sad for the two taels of silver...

"Are the wooden boxes and straws all ready?" Liu Huixiang stood up, her voice very low.

It turned out that Liu Huixiang couldn't calm down for a long time after collecting her clothes and returning to the bedroom on the second floor.

And her pretty face is always flushed and can't be covered up even with makeup or powder. How can she be seen in person?
In the end, she had no choice but to put on the power fence...

"Everything is ready." Zhang Cuihua noticed something strange in her young lady's voice, but she didn't know what was going on, and her heart that had just relaxed started to rise again.

"It's getting late. Since everything is ready, let's get started." Su Xian stood up. He wanted to finish this matter early and then leave.

Although Liu Huixiang is an eye-catching beauty, what happened just now was really embarrassing.

The "silk" wrapped around the girl's arms actually covered his face!

According to the original owner's world view, this is indecent!

……

Zhang Cuihua is very strong and has nimble hands and feet. She quickly moved all the wooden boxes and all the straw to the second floor and piled them in the selected room.

At this time, the soft tofu pressed in the morning is almost ready.

Su Xian gave verbal instructions, and Liu Huixiang and Zhang Cuihua were responsible for cutting the whole piece of tofu into small cubes the size of dried tofu and moving it to the room on the second floor.

Next came the key to making stinky tofu. Su Xian still gave verbal instructions, while Liu Huixiang and the others took action. The main reason was that Liu Huixiang insisted not to let him do the work.

The method used by Su Xian is the most primitive one: first lay a layer of straw in the wooden box, put in small tofu cubes, then cover it with a layer of straw, and then put in the tofu cubes... After stacking several layers in this way, cover it Put on the wooden box lid.

Liu Huixiang didn't ask why she did this, maybe because she was shy.

They were very nimble with their hands and feet. It was noon and they had already completed half of the work!

"Sir, it's noon, let's have a meal together." Liu Huixiang said.

"That's fine." Su Xian thought for a while and nodded.

After lunch, continue the morning work.

As time went by, no matter how large the room was, it was gradually filled with wooden boxes, until only a small space in front of the south-facing window remained.

Zhang Cuihua walked over with a stack of wooden boxes. As soon as she put down the wooden boxes, she looked up and saw that the clothes drying pole behind the screen was empty.

She was startled.

She clearly remembered that there were a lot of clothes hanging on the clothes drying pole, including the lady's...

Wait, Zhang Cuihua took a deep breath, slowly turned her head, and glanced at the power fence Liu Huixiang wore on her head.

In just a moment, she understood.

Why does the young lady also wear a power fence at home?

Just now, she thought that Miss knew that she was protecting herself, so she...

Now it seems that the situation is not that simple.

She knew her young lady, and the reason why Liu Huixiang wore a power fence at home must be to... cover up her shame!
Zhang Cuihua's heart sank to the bottom.

In order to come back early, she even spent more than two taels of silver!
But as a result, the young lady was still bullied.

That's right, from Zhang Cuihua's point of view, if Su Xian saw her young lady's little clothes, it would be considered bullying. Otherwise, why would she be wearing a power fence at home?

After thinking about this, Zhang Cuihua stood up and slowly turned her head to look at Su Xian who was checking the arrangement of tofu cubes in the wooden box.

"Cuihua, don't be lazy! After placing the wooden box, hurry up and move the straw." Liu Huixiang said immediately.

"Yes... Miss." Zhang Cuihua withdrew her eyes that were about to spit out fire, and went to move the straw as she was told.

Su Xian touched his nose and said to himself: "Fortunately, I'm finally almost done."

A quarter of an hour later.

The wooden boxes were all over the floor, and there were still some tofu and straw left, so it was finally finished.

"Mrs. Liu, just leave it on the ground like this. Don't worry about it. I'll come back to check on the situation later. I feel sorry for bothering you for so long, so I'll take my leave."

Su Xian bowed as a gift and prepared to retreat.

Liu Huixiang originally wanted to stay with him for dinner before leaving, but she was a little embarrassed, so she replied with a blessing and said: "Young Master, please go slowly."

Walked out of the door of Liu Huixiang's house and came to the street.

The scorching sun is still as hot as yesterday.

Because it was getting late, and because it was close to the city wall, the uneven parapet was projected on the street, forming a "gear"-like shadow.

Su Xian closed his eyes and took a deep breath, feeling both physically and mentally relaxed.

However, before I opened my eyes, I heard howling ghosts and wolves coming from all around:
"Suhyun...nerd!"

"The nerd came out of Tofu Xishi's house!"

"There are spirits wandering around in broad daylight. It's so scary!"

"..."
