Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 169 With a New Signboard

What Xiao Shu'er said made Liu Ya feel very reasonable.Indeed, those who are not in a hurry don't need to hurry in the rainy day.The more rainy it is, the harder it is to drive. If you can get some help here, even if you just rest your feet and drink some water, it will be a great relief.

But Liu Ya also felt that traveling in ancient times was not as good as traveling in modern times, and people who ride cars or horses can't really be rain or shine.But it's not worth it to waste time here just for one or two people passing by by chance.

After thinking for a while, Liu Ya looked at the bamboo tubes filled with water, her eyes lit up, and she said to Xiaoshu: "Since you have brought all the bamboo tubes, then put the bamboo cups as a welcome It’s good to have a good posture. When it’s rainy in the future, you or I will come here as usual to prepare fresh spring water. As long as guests pass by, they can still come in to drink water and rest. But we don’t have to wait here all the time, by Let the guests come and go freely, and we will come back the next day to change the spring water."

"Then... what about the money?" Although Xiao Shu'er wasn't entirely for rewards, the income here is actually quite considerable.

When Liu Ya smiled, she knew what Xiao Shu'er was thinking, stretched out her hand and scratched his nose, and said with a smile: "Go and cut some thick and beautiful bamboo tubes, and I will write a few words." After speaking, Liu Ya He gestured again and said, "It takes such a long length."

Xiao Shuer agreed and went to find the bamboo tube.He cut down a lot of bamboo to build the bamboo shed this time.Store the unused ones outside the small bamboo shed for later use.As soon as Liu Ya gave an order, he quickly cut the bamboo tube and came back.And it's not just one piece, but three bamboo tubes of the same length.

All three bamboo tubes are thick and solid, with slightly different cortex.One is an old bamboo, with yellow-green cortex, with obvious vertical lines; one is Xinzhu, which grows straight and smooth, with green and smooth cortex; the other is also very thick, with green cortex, but the nodes are very short and slightly Curved, at first glance it is not pleasing to the eye, but if you look closely, it is quite charming.

Liu Ya took out the ox horn knife that she always carried with her, played with the knife in her hand, and then brought over the bamboo tube that looked very charming.I made a gesture with a knife, and carved the four characters "Quanqing Bamboo Fragrance" casually.

Then two lines of small characters were engraved on the back: the spring water is clear, and the bamboo shed welcomes guests;

After the engraving was finished, Liu Ya took the bamboo tube in her hand and looked at it for a while, then trimmed the characters with a knife, and it looked clearer and more beautiful, before handing it to Xiao Shu'er and saying, "This is our signboard for the time being. Just hang it in a conspicuous place at the door. Then put a small basket on the stone table with a penny in it. If a guest comes, you will understand what it means when you see the sign. Those who are willing to tip will put the money in the Those who don’t have change in the bamboo basket for a while, don’t force it.”

"Ha, this is really a good idea." After Xiao Shu'er finished speaking, he took over the bamboo tube, tied it with hemp rope, and hung it at a conspicuous place at the door.Not to mention, it looks like a very unique signboard.

Liu Ya said: "I asked my father to help us weave a few chic little baskets, you can choose one for collecting money later."

Xiao Shuer nodded and said, "Okay. It's not early today, so let's put this thing here. If it rains tomorrow, I'll change the water in the bamboo tube and go back. If it doesn't rain, I'll stay here."

"Okay, let's go." Liu Ya and Xiao Shu'er tidied up the place and walked home together.

The rain has stopped, but the mountain road is still muddy.Xiao Shu'er was very caring, leading the little goat and walking in front of Liu Ya.If you encounter a particularly slippery place, you will turn around to remind you, or simply reach out to Liu Ya to pull Liu Ya over.

Liu Ya couldn't help laughing and said, "I'm an elder sister, but I want you to protect me in front, it's really embarrassing."

"I'm a man. It's not convenient for my father to come out, so I will protect you and eldest sister. By the way, second sister, I see that you are so good at using knives. Teach me. And you promised to teach me two tricks Kung fu has never been taught. Also, I have memorized the Three Character Classic, but some characters are very difficult to write, and I am practicing a little bit. Second sister, when will you see if I wrote it right?"

Xiao Shu'er seemed to have opened up a chatterbox, and kept talking endlessly, with all kinds of requests.

Liu Ya answered one by one with a smile, and the siblings walked home talking and laughing.

After entering the village, Xiao Shu'er said to Liu Ya: "Second Sister, you should go home first. I'll take the lamb to Aunt Niu's house. The lamb at Aunt Niu's house has not been weaned yet, and can still eat for a month. Then we will The sheep at home have grown up too, and some rice soup should be fine."

Liu Ya said: "Okay, let's go. Don't play outside, go home quickly after feeding the sheep. You are also wet, come back and take a bath, don't catch a cold."

Xiao Shuer agreed, and happily ran away leading the little goat.

At home, Liu Xu'er has already started preparing dinner.Because it was raining, Liu Xu'er planned to make hot soup and scrambled chili eggs, so that they could have a hot meal.

Liu Ya came in and saw Liu Xu'er washed her rain-soaked clothes and hung them on the rack in the house, feeling very embarrassed.He hurriedly went to the kitchen to take the dish from Liu Xu'er's hand and said, "Okay, big sister, you've been busy all day, I'll make dinner. You can rest."

But Liu Xu'er took it again, pushed Liuya and said, "Okay, I'll pick the vegetables, you go and change your shoes first. Wet feet are easy to catch cold."

Liu Ya agreed, and hurried back to the house to change her shoes.When changing shoes, I saw that Cang Qianche's clothes had also been hung up, and the muddy water on the clothes had been washed away.Liu Xu'er should have helped wash it.

Looking at the dress, Liu Ya felt another block in her heart, and couldn't help being stunned for a while, but couldn't figure out why Cang Qianche didn't come to pick up the clothes after she said she would come.

But just a few flashes, Liu Ya quickly put on her shoes and ran to the kitchen.

Liu Xu'er had already picked the vegetables and beaten the eggs into the bowl.Liu Ya came over to pick up the egg bowl, stirred the egg liquid quickly with chopsticks, and said, "Sister, it won't rain anymore, go ask if anyone wants to buy chickens. Last time I brought back several chickens." As for a rooster, it only costs food and does not lay eggs. It doesn’t cost much, just forty yuan for a chicken.”

"What? It's only forty cents a piece? Doesn't that mean you will pay more than a dozen cents for one?" Liu Xu'er felt distressed after hearing this for a while.

Liu Ya smiled and said: "It's okay, anyway, it's just dry food. It's enough to sell the feed money saved earlier. You can sell it like this, it's okay. By the way, don't forget to tell Xiao Shuer Just say what I said, just keep one rooster, the hen can lay eggs, and if there are too many roosters, they will fight."
