Chapter 4 4. Origami Shop
  "Mom, I heard that there was a lot of trouble in the paper-making shop of the Bai family." Shi Dong said with a mysterious face, "It is said that the old man Bai can do calculations and predict that his family will be in a big disaster. So the whole family fled to Hong Kong Island."

"There is indeed a saying. In the past, there were strange phenomena in the eight villages in Shili. Everyone went to see Old Man Bai for calculations. His calculations were extremely accurate. He was simply a divine fortune teller." What Su Sanlan didn't say was that Old Man Bai gave her a fortune teller and said She will have four sons and one daughter in the future, and she will enjoy the blessing of having a daughter in her later years. The name Pomegranate was given by the other party.

"The other party's surname is Bai?" When mentioning the surname Bai, the first thing that comes to Shiliu's mind is her old man, Bai Qingcai, who also runs a paper-making shop that has been passed down for hundreds of years. Is there any relationship between the two? .

"Yes, it is said that he came from Baijiacun." Although Su Sanlan was surprised that her daughter was suddenly interested in the paper shop, she answered patiently.

Baijia Village, Shitou Village and Sujia Village are the three major surnames in Daqiao Commune. They have a prosperous population and many branches. There are even rumors that the three villages belong to the royal family. This is what Shiliu learned from the memory of the original owner.

Seeing that his sister's curiosity was satisfied, Shi Dong turned to talk about the history of the state-owned hotel: "Our state-owned hotel used to be called Sujia Tavern. It is said that our ancestors sold steamed buns."

"It is said that a county prince visited here and ate the buns made by the ancestors of the Su family. He was immediately shocked. Because the ancestors of the Su family did not want to stay away from their homeland, they settled here."

Su Sanlan continued: "It's not just that. Unofficial history also said that in order to eat delicious buns after death, the prince set his cemetery in Sujia Village. Because there were always dog thieves in the past few years We came to Sujia Village to look for the cemetery, but unfortunately we found nothing in the end, so everyone felt that this record must be false."

Shi Dong nodded repeatedly when he heard this. He believed it when he was a child and dug holes all day long, causing him to be beaten by his father many times.

But when Shiliu heard this legend, she thought it was true. Otherwise, there was no way to explain why a golden sign-in office appeared in a small county town. If a prince can stay here just for a bite of steamed buns, how delicious are the steamed buns made by the ancestors of the Su family? Pomegranate is now more and more interested in the cooking skills that he has just received.

The three of them walked and chatted and soon arrived at the scrap station. Su Sanlan seemed to come here often. She greeted the old man from all the way: "Brother Wang, I'm here to buy newspapers again."

Upon seeing this, Mr. Wang waved his hand casually: "Feel free to choose, do you still want a book? I just received a batch of books yesterday, and I haven't even had time to take a closer look. If you want them, I'll give you 1 cents per catty."

Pomegranate's eyes widened when she heard that books cost 1 cents per kilogram. It was so cheap. In the previous life, you wouldn't be able to buy a book for less than 1 yuan, because in 20, all e-books would be available. As it becomes more popular, the price of paper books will go up.

"Mom, I want to buy some books and go back and read them. I just want to buy some high school textbooks and stuff."

The original owner finished junior high school and then stopped going to school. This was not because the original owner was tired of studying, but the main problem was her face. The appearance of Pomegranate itself can be said to be in its prime, and the appearance of the original owner is even more exquisite than hers. It is very similar to the description of Qin Keqing in "A Dream of Red Mansions": "It is bright and charming, but also like a treasure hairpin, romantic and graceful, but also like Daiyu. ".

As a result, the original owner was naturally targeted by gangsters in the county town. Fortunately, she was rescued by her husband who was passing by unexpectedly. Otherwise, the spitting star could have drowned the original owner. It is precisely for this reason that after the original owner received his junior high school diploma, he refused to continue studying in high school even if his grades were among the best.

Su Sanlan's eyes turned red again when she heard this. She also knew the reason why her daughter didn't go to school. It was all because their family had no power, otherwise her daughter wouldn't have needed to hide at home. It's a shame that those talkative women kept gossiping.

"Buy! Pomegranate, I'll buy you whatever you like."

Shi Dong also thought about that and nodded fiercely: "Sister, if you buy it, I will take it back for you. Don't worry about not being able to carry it."

Pomegranate's mouth stiffened, and she slipped in with a look of emotion on her face. She really couldn't cope with it. She thought that in her previous life, she had been living with the old man all day long, and the old man was an unmarried rough man who didn't know how to raise a daughter. He raised a girl as thick as a pomegranate and as thick as a boy. .

Uncle Wang is really not talking nonsense. The books collected in this batch are really new. Shiliu seriously suspected that this was a collection of books in someone's home, but the current situation was so severe that no one dared to collect them, so they simply sold them all as scrap paper. It was really a pity.

In a short time, Pomegranate found a complete set of high school books, and even found a set of 17 brand-new "Self-study Books on Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry". I don't know which prodigal son sold the books for scrap paper. Suddenly she discovered that this was also a sign-in place.

[I found the check-in place at the Daqiao County Scrap Station. Does it cost 1 check-in point to sign in? 】

[Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in and receiving a pear flower wood makeup box*1]

Pomegranate was actually curious and wanted to give it a try, but she didn't expect to make a lot of money. At this point, her system changed again.

[Host: Pomegranate]

[Check-in point: 4+3*3]

[Merit points: 3 (can be used for Yin Yang Pavilion shopping)]

[Skill: Steamed Bun Cooking Level 1]

[Backpack: household medicine box*1, dragon coin 100 yuan, pear wood cosmetic box*1]

"System, where is the Yin Yang Pavilion? Why didn't I see it?" Shiliu guessed that the Yin Yang Pavilion was not the name of the supermarket.

[The host opens the Yin Yang Pavilion, and the merit points are cleared]

Pomegranate's face suddenly turned green. This system actually deducted merit without saying a word. Forget it, even if the system asks her, she will still consume merit to open the Yin Yang Pavilion, but: "System, where did my three points of merit come from?" It must not be calculated according to the previous life. After all, she was influenced by the old man and firmly believed in karma. Good people have done many good things, but three points of merit are missing.

[Among the books the host has just collected are 3 very important orphan copies]

A flash of clarity flashed through Pomegranate's mind. A lot of knowledge was lost because of the damage of books. It seemed that she had done nothing, but in fact, her actions opened up countless possibilities for future generations. It seems that she will have to come to the scrapyard often in the future. Went shopping.

After sorting out more than thirty books, Pomegranate was about to leave, but when she turned around, she knocked off a piece of wood. Upon taking a quick look, Pomegranate was stunned. Who had sold such a large piece of agarwood to a prodigal, but now it was cheaper for her.

Shi Dong hurriedly stepped forward to help his sister carry the book to the front: "Uncle Wang, please weigh me."

Old man Wang didn't expect that the little girl would buy so much, so he neatly named them: "27 pounds in total, 2 yuan and 7 cents." Tsk, Sister Su's daughter is really a prodigal. She spent nearly 3 yuan on whatever she wanted. .

Su Sanlan didn't have any ink, so she took out the money to pay and left quickly. She also planned to catch up on the afternoon work, so she could get 4 or 5 more work points.
