The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 26
Having lived for 20 years, Feng Jian has never been so embarrassed as he is today. He stretched out his hand to wipe off the water and destroy the evidence of stupidity, but suddenly remembered that this would not help, so he found a basin to scoop water to wash his face.

When he turned around and saw Xiaomi who couldn't straighten up with laughter, he had a rare childish temper, reached out and wiped his face twice, and then directly wiped it on Xiaomi's cheeks.

How could Xiaomi think that one moment she was laughing at others, and the next moment she became a clown herself.

So I reached out and wiped it quickly, but the more I wiped, the dirtier it became.Originally, only her cheeks were stained with black ash, but in the end she became a descendant of the Bao family, completely a black-faced girl.

"Haha!" Feng Jian couldn't bear it anymore, and also burst out laughing.

Xiaomi jumped in anger, and finally looked at Feng Jian, smiling badly.

There are two black-faced gods hidden in the small kitchen, but there is no gloomy smell. Instead, laughter spreads, tearing the remaining clouds in the sky, making the sun brighter and brighter.

Spring is finally getting closer...

Lu Er Er ran in from outside the courtyard with a tired look on his face. Hearing the movement, he ran to the kitchen and asked, "Sister, there is no need to prepare breakfast, everyone go back...uh!"

As a result, halfway through the speech, seeing the appearance of Lu Xiaomi and Feng Jian really shocked him, but he laughed earth-shatteringly instead.

"Oh, I laughed so hard, what's the matter with you, are you rolling around in the stove?"

People saw such an ambiguous appearance, and Xiaomi's face turned red with embarrassment, but fortunately, her face was covered in black and gray at the moment, so she couldn't tell it.

She quickly scooped up warm water from the pot, urged Feng Jian to wash it up, and finally washed it by herself.Then puffed up his cheeks and asked Lu Er Er, "Everyone is leaving, you won't stop me! After a night of freezing, I always have to drink a bowl of hot porridge before going back."

"Where can I stop it, so why did you rub against the appearance just now?"

Lu's second son is so nervous that he can't see the ambiguity between the two. Instead, he is curious about what the two have experienced?
Xiaomi gritted his teeth in resentment, and said perfunctorily, "The firewood is too wet, the stove is spewing smoke! After going to the city for a while, don't forget to clear the chimney when you come back."

Lu's second son finally found out that his younger sister became angry from embarrassment, and ran to set up the car while laughing.Xiaomi rushed to the door and asked him to keep it secret, I don't know if this guy heard it...

Chenji Buzhuang is the place where Xiaomi bought Haibu last time.I don't know who is the backer behind this cloth shop, but they generously occupy the best positions on the only two commercial streets in Anzhou Prefecture.Not only is the store large, but there are rouge shops, jewelry shops and the like on the left and right. The neighbors take care of each other, and the business is good.

Xiaomi also guessed the details of the old shopkeeper Chen before, but thinking that he has no ill intentions towards the Lu family, if she deliberately inquired, it seemed that she had some bad intentions.

This time when she went to the city to find a buyer, she thought about it for a long time on the way, and decided to go to Chenji Cloth Village first.Even if the new business fails, there is no delay in buying some fabric and cotton to go back.

The villagers took out their own quilts and cotton jackets last night. It will be a few days before the snow completely melts.

Simply, it is better to leave the old ones for the vegetable shed to make thermal insulation quilts, each family will send a piece of fabric and a few catties of cotton, and let the women sew new quilts by themselves, which can be regarded as a small compensation for the Lu family.

Spring is approaching, although the weather is still very cold, and there is no green in the world, but the women who are naturally fond of dressing up can't help it anymore, and they go to the streets together to find new silk and satin materials, bright rouge, and new Style jewelry…

Needless to say, the commercial street was visibly bustling with activity, which was no worse than when it was the twelfth lunar month.

Old shopkeeper Chen wore a smoky gray brocade padded gown with dark flowers, and he was still smiling and chatting with customers in the shop. The word is perfect.

Seeing Lu Wu and Xiaomi brothers and sisters enter the door, shopkeeper Chen's smile became even stronger. He called the boy to guide the Lu family brothers and sisters to sit in the backyard, but he hurriedly found materials for the guests.

Xiaomi only drank half a cup of tea, when Shopkeeper Chen rushed over and apologized, "Oh, I really neglected Miss Lu!"

"Shopkeeper Chen is too polite. We come and go often. It's okay to wait too long. It's not good to neglect other customers."

Xiaomi is very considerate. Hearing these words, old shopkeeper Chen was very upset, and quickly asked about the matter, "Ms. Lu's house is probably very busy, but I have something to explain when I come to my small shop today?"

"It's nothing serious. The family needs a batch of cotton and cotton cloth to make new bedding, so I'm here to trouble shopkeeper Chen."

Shopkeeper Chen heard that the business was coming, so he quickly pushed the snacks on hand towards Xiaomi, "Thank you, Miss Lu, for taking care of the old man's business. These are the new snacks I bought this morning. Try it, let's talk while eating."

Lu Xiaomi picked up a piece of walnut cake and bit it, and smiled and told the amount of cotton and cloth needed.

Shopkeeper Chen smiled when he heard this, and after thinking about it, he said, "If the girl makes a quilt for her own use, of course the cotton must be good, but the fabric is useless, right? I still have some cotton fabric saved last year in my warehouse, which is also good for making quilts." Excellent. Girl, how about looking at it first? If you don’t like it, I will find a new style for the girl.”

"Okay, please trouble the shopkeeper."

Shopkeeper Chen called the boy, and quickly brought four or five bolts of cotton cloth.Xiaomi touched it with his hands, and found that the fabric was thick, but not too hard. Although the colors were not popular, they were still exquisite, and they were competent enough to make quilts for every family in the village.

"Okay, shopkeeper Chen, bring me two of these fabrics, plus eight ivory-colored quilt linings, and one hundred catties of cotton."

"Okay, okay. Miss Lu accepted the old cloth from the old man, but it was a great help. The old man reciprocated, and only took the girl's capital."

"Then thank you, Shopkeeper Chen."

Lu Xiaomi thanked with a smile, and then motioned to Lu Wu to divide the two small wicker baskets in his hand and hand them over.

"Shopkeeper Chen, I bought Haibu from you earlier, and it came in handy after I went back. These are freshly cut vegetables at home. I'll give you a basket to try them out."

"Green vegetables?" The shopkeeper Chen and the two boys who were packing up the cloth and exited looked curiously at Lu Xiaomi's words, wondering if she had made a mistake.

Xiaomi smiled cunningly, without explaining, and directly lifted the small quilt wrapped in the basket.

In the small wicker basket, stuffed a handful of broad-leaf leeks, a handful of large-leaf spinach, and a handful of small cabbage, and after careful inspection, it was found that there was a wisp of small-leaf coriander between them.

The four dishes are different in appearance, but there is one thing that is surprisingly consistent, and that is the color.

The emerald green color, reflected in the sunlight coming in from outside the door, seemed to be dripping out.In such a season when the world is covered with snow all over the sky, there is a certain air of arrogance and independence...

Shopkeeper Chen, master and servant, subconsciously took a deep breath, as if their lungs were refreshed by the smell of vegetables...

"This... it's only the first month, where did you get the new dishes?"

Shopkeeper Chen reached out to touch the vegetable leaves, but felt abrupt, and looked at Xiaomi in surprise.

Xiaomi directly picked a vegetable leaf and put it in the hands of the old shopkeeper, "Try it, the old shopkeeper. It took me a long time to grow it. Today is the first time I bring it out to meet people. After leaving the shopkeeper, I plan to go to various places. Let’s go to a restaurant and find a good buyer.”

Shopkeeper Chen put the vegetable leaves in his mouth and chewed. The familiar and unfamiliar fresh aroma made him even more excited and amazed.

"This is really unbelievable. In this season, the emperor and his elders may not be able to eat such fresh and tender vegetables! Miss Lu is really... amazing!"

Xiaomi was very pleased with what he heard, not only did not show his face, but he looked like he was leaving in a hurry.

"Since shopkeeper Chen likes it, I will go to the city another day and bring another basket for the shopkeeper. After a while, the cucumbers, purple eggplants and peas at home may also be picked. I will take my leave now and ask shopkeeper Chen to hurry up." settlement."

"Hey, hey, don't be busy with settlement."

Shopkeeper Chen's old eyes shone so brightly that he almost boiled a basket of vegetables. What a basket of vegetables, it was a cornucopia.If the business works well, it will be worth hundreds of pieces of fabric profit.

"That...Miss Lu, this old man is over 50 years old now, so I can treat her like a junior in the family. Now I will say a few more words to her," the old man secretly rubbed his fingers in his sleeves, laughing The restaurant is even more kind, "The restaurants in this city are supported by rich families, and even the relatives of the old man in the government office. These green vegetables are a novelty at the moment. If you take them to your door rashly, Maybe the business can’t be negotiated, and you will end up being robbed by tricks.”

"Stealing by stealth?" Before Xiaomi could speak, Lu Er Er understood, "The shopkeeper said that someone wants to rob my family of vegetables! Who dares? I'll smash his head!"

Lu Er Er didn't eat any snacks, and slapped the table hard, causing the teapot and tea bowl to jump up, and rolled directly to the ground and smashed to pieces.

Lu Xiaomi glared at him angrily, and cursed in a low voice, "Second brother, this is not at home, please be more honest."

Lu Er Er glanced at the teacup corpse on the ground, his face was embarrassed for a moment, but he still insisted, "I know! But whoever wants to steal our food, absolutely not!"

Xiaomi had nothing to do with him, so he quickly apologized to Shopkeeper Chen.

Shopkeeper Chen glanced at the crumbling red pine tabletop out of the corner of his eyes, and the corner of his mouth twitched. He was very glad that he insisted on fair trade in his life and never bullied the Lu family, otherwise his bones would not be as hard as the red pine.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just that the old man didn't explain it clearly." He waved his hand to signal the waiter to quickly pick up the broken porcelain pieces, and finally poured new tea for Xiaomi.

This time he didn't beat around the bush again, and said directly, "I'll tell you the truth, I want to continue this business. You don't know, my dog ​​works as the second steward of the Tang family in the capital. The Tang family is the largest cloth merchant in the North. His mother is the aunt of Marquis Weiyuan, and no one in the whole capital would dare to bully her.

I took advantage of my son and opened this shop, and the entire city of Anzhou also sells the face of the Tang family, so I have been doing business steadily for so many years.On weekdays, I consciously know a few famous people. If the girl can be trusted, how about giving me this green vegetable to sell? "
