Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 64

The man looked at the bun in Xiaoshu'er's hand, then at the old clothes that his siblings were wearing that were not bright, and then at the slightly crude bamboo shed. He pulled the rein and jumped off the horse. , and then took the steamed stuffed bun from Xiao Shu'er's hand.

"Brother, please come in and eat. The bamboo shed is simple, and it can finally block the sun, and there is fresh mountain spring water." Liu Ya also hurriedly greeted.

The man nodded, said "Thank you", and threw the reins to the ground casually to let the horse eat some grass. He then walked into the bamboo shed, picked up a stone stool by the side and sat down.

Little Shu'er lost the initial nervousness, and hurriedly poured a glass of water from the bamboo tube and brought it over, and placed it on another stone bench next to the man.

The man must have been really hungry, he bit down almost half of the bun in one bite.He chewed it vigorously for a few times before swallowing it, then picked up the bamboo tube that Xiao Shuer put aside for him, drank the spring water in one gulp, and said, "Let's have another cup."

"Okay, it'll be ready right away." Xiao Shu'er immediately took the cup and poured another cup.At this moment, Xiao Shu'er was much more natural, like a hard-working waiter in a shop.

After a steamed stuffed bun was eaten, the man raised his head and asked, "Is this the inn opened by your brother and sister?"

"It's not considered a station." Liu Ya said: "It's just that there are no people on this road for a long time. I'm afraid that the people who are on the road will have to work hard, so I want to provide a convenient place for everyone to rest here. I will also give you a glass of mountain spring water. Make up your mind."

"Oh?" The man took another bite of the steamed stuffed bun, and said with a slight smile, "Looking at the clothes of your siblings, you must be from a poor family, right? Why don't you go home to grow vegetables and chop firewood, but come here to help others? Don't tell me You give this water away for free, you can’t keep food and drink, and you still have the mind to provide convenience for others? If you say that you sell mountain products here, I agree. But you are young, don’t just say beautiful things.”

Hearing the man's tone, Xiao Shu'er's originally warm eyes turned cold.He listened to Liu Ya's words before, and he really didn't think about how much money he would make, but he also thought about being convenient with others. Take it out.

It's just that now kindness is regarded as the liver and lungs of a donkey, and people doubt the heart, so Xiao Shu'er can't help it.

Liu Ya saw Xiao Shu'er secretly grinding his teeth, and gently pulled Xiao Shu'er's shoulder, signaling him to write aside.Liu Ya said: "Brother is right. Our family is really poor. It can be said that our family is poor, and we need to earn money to buy rice to eat. Our original intention of opening this shop is indeed to be kind to others. But after all, our siblings are still young and can't do heavy work, so the water in this water shop is free, but if the guests who come and go feel warm and rest comfortably, we also want some rewards."

The man raised his thick eyebrows and said with a smile: "That is to say, you don't need money to drink water, but you have to ask for a reward?"

"Yes." Liu Ya answered very seriously this time, and her tone was a little tougher than before, and said: "We, sister and brother, will neither steal nor rob, and bring the sweetest spring water from the other side of the mountain to wait for the guests It’s not wrong to come and have a sip and give some rewards. It’s like the boy in a big restaurant, sweet and smart, so naturally there are customers who give rewards.”

"Then what if I really don't have any money? I also ate your two buns, but I don't mean to reward you." The man seemed to be carrying it on purpose.At this time, the buns in his hand were finished, and he drank all the water in the bamboo tube, and then stood up to leave.

If Liu Ya wants to keep someone, no one can walk out from under her nose.

But Liu Ya still smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Then I also wish you a smooth journey, brother. Also, please bring this with you. You are the second customer of my small water shop, so you are considered destined."

After finishing speaking, Liu Ya took one of the little dragonflies she had woven out of bamboo leaves before, and gave it to the troublesome man.

"Hehe, what an interesting little girl." The man took the little bamboo leaf dragonfly, twirled it in his hand, then walked over to pull back his horse, jumped on the horse's back and really rode away.

Liu Ya shook her head with a smile, then turned around to tidy up the bamboo tube that the man had just used, and poured some water to wash it clean.

Xiao Shu'er looked at the smoke and dust going away, came over a little angrily, pulled Liu Ya and asked, "Second Sister, why is this person like this? It's fine if you don't pay for the buns, and still doubts our kindness. "

"Xiao Shu'er, the second sister tells you a word: you can stand up to praise, but you also have to stand up to slander. Not everything you do will be understood and supported, and more people want to watch the excitement. There are also people who have the mentality of looking at jokes and wanting you to make a fool of yourself. There are also some people who cannot understand other people's minds, so they just say it intuitively. "

After listening to Liu Ya's words, the unhappiness on Xiao Shu'er's face became a little less.But he still pouted his mouth, and it was obvious that he couldn't figure it out.

Liu Ya patted Xiao Shu'er's head, and said softly: "Little Shu'er, don't affect your happiness because of other people's problems. There are losses and profits in business, we just put in some effort , Just bring some spring water. Don’t think everything is so perfect, and don’t let your mood be blinded by money. You still have to stick to your heart, just as a way to pass on happiness.”

"Okay, I get it. However, such a guest is really..." Xiao Shu'er wanted to say something more, but Liu Ya waved her hand to signal him not to say any more.

Xiao Shu'er also listened attentively, and found that there was the sound of a carriage on the official road again.But this time it was the sound of wheels crushing the ground, and it seemed to be a convoy with a lot of people.

"Okay, business is here again, don't let the guests see you pouting." Liu Ya pinched Xiao Shu'er's face to make him happy, and then looked in the direction of the visitor seriously.

Soon, two high-shelf carriages drove over, and there were three carts behind them, with boxes of all sizes on them.

Liu Ya saw it from a distance, so she pushed the little tree, pointed to the wild flowers on the hillside and said, "Go, pick some flowers for Second Sister. It's best to weave a small flower basket."

"Second sister wants a flower basket? Okay, let's go." Xiao Shu'er didn't ask the reason for Liu Ya's request at all.As long as Liu Ya likes it, as long as it is Liu Ya's order, he will do it.

Seeing the little tree climbed up the hillside, Liu Ya took a few steps towards the side of the road, put on the awning with her hand and looked towards the direction of the carriage, and asked crisply: "I came from a long way, guest, please come in for a glass of water and rest your feet Bar."
