Chapter 48
"Hehe..." Xia Mujin also ate a few of them and felt the taste was very good, so she grabbed some and bounced to the back of the hut. Seeing that her brother was still binding firewood, she stepped forward and said: " Brother, close your eyes and open your mouth."

Xia Tieshu was taken aback by his sister's mischievous tone, and after a long time, he complied with a doting smile, Xia Mujin put the broad beans into his brother's mouth with a smile, and then saw his brother frowned, His mouth moved a few times, and after a while, he opened his eyes and said, "Jin'er, what did you give brother?"

"Is it delicious?" Seeing her brother's changing expression, Xia Mujin not only didn't tell him the answer, but asked mischievously.

Xia Tieshu nodded like a garlic, and said again and again: "It's delicious, delicious, fragrant and crispy, and it also has a light sweet taste, which makes people have an endless aftertaste."

Hearing that Xia Mujin was consummated, she spread out her hands, and there were a few golden orchid beans lying in her palms.

"This... this is what you call orchid beans."

Xia Tieshu made a conclusion with just one glance, and immediately, the brother and sister laughed happily.

Xia Senlin and the others came back as soon as the sun went down, and as soon as they got home, they handed over the forty taels of silver they got from selling things to Xia Muzhen. Xia Muzhen was very excited and took them to try their own achievements. The family had dinner happily. They rested early.

Early the next morning, Aunt Xia boiled a pot of porridge. After the family simply used up Xia Hibiscus, Xia Senlin and Xia Senlin went to town with Gynostemma and crispy orchid beans.

Xia Xiaosong continued to catch fish, Aunt Xia washed the unfinished mushrooms and dried them in addition to cooking medicine, and Xia Tieshu continued to bundle firewood.

Because there was no firewood to sell, Xia Mujin and the others did not pull the cart, but Xia Senlin directly carried the crispy orchid beans, while Xia Muzhen carried Gynostemma and a bamboo tube of water. When they arrived in the town, it was already daylight.

People were coming and going in the town, and it was very lively. They found an open space to put their things down, but people didn't come up to them when they saw their clothes, let alone ask about their baskets covered by a layer of shabby gray cloth.

Xia Mujin was not in a hurry, she bought a scale, wrapped it in some oiled paper, sat aside and rested for a while, drank some water to quench her thirst, and then lifted the gray cloth on the basket, He grabbed a handful of orchid beans and sat aside to eat them.

Because the beans had just been fried, and the weather was hot, as soon as the cloth was lifted, a scent wafted away, and within a short while, someone began to peek over here.

Xia Mujin ate a few, then clapped her hands and got up, shouting loudly: "Come here, don't miss it when you pass by, the exclusive secret recipe, the exclusive taste, crispy orchid beans, if you don't buy it, it will be your loss."

Her voice is clear and crisp, like spring water flowing through a hot heart, which makes people extremely comfortable and quiet. Besides, everyone has never seen the golden and shiny things in this basket. When curiosity arose, some people began to ask : "Girl, how did you sell this thing?"

"This beautiful big sister, you will know how to live at first glance. This crispy orchid beans have gone through 49 [-] procedures, soaked, dried, boiled and fried. I, a countryman, don't dare to say too much. Earn, one tael of silver for a catty, one tael of a hundred Wen, if you want it, you have to hurry up."

Xia Mujin showed her standard eight teeth, and while talking, she stuffed two orchid beans into the hands of the middle-aged woman who asked the question.

The middle-aged woman was called Big Sister by this little boy, and she was already happy in her heart. Seeing that she could taste it before buying it, she glanced at Xia Mujin appreciatively, and then put the orchid beans in her mouth.

Seeing her eyes brighten with surprise, Xia Mujin asked with a smile: "Big sister, do you want to buy it?"

"Buy, buy, weigh two catties for me." The middle-aged woman said hastily after eating two broad beans, her eyes already glowing green, staring at the small plump broad bean in disbelief.

Xia Mujin smiled and said hello, then took out the scale that had been prepared, weighed two catties of orchid beans, wrapped them in oiled paper, handed them to the woman enthusiastically, and said: "Sister, you take good."

The woman paid the silver and went home happily.

"Give me two taels." Seeing someone buying, someone immediately followed, buying one tael, two taels, a catty.

But those who bought one or two two liang turned around and returned, and those who bought one or two catties went home a little later. In less than half an hour, the orchid beans were sold out.

Xia Muzhen cheerfully packed the empty basket, seeing her father staring at the empty basket in a daze, his eyes were almost shaped like fighting cocks, Xia Muzhen almost didn't smile, put Gynostemma pentaphyllum into the basket, and lifted the basket In his hand, he reached out and waved at Xia Senlin.

After a while, Xia Senlin came back to his senses, and stammered for a while: "Jin Jin Jin'er, it's sold out so quickly?"

Xia Mujin blinked her eyes, nodded in affirmation, and then put the basket at the foot of Xia Senlin, took the bag containing gynostemma in one hand, and said: "Father, you can just go shopping, I will come back when I go." , and stuffed five taels of silver into his arms.

Before Xia Senlin had time to speak, she saw her jogging into the crowd carrying her things, and was instantly submerged in the crowd.

Meilou is the largest teahouse in Zhushan County and a famous teaching workshop in Tianli Country. Those who drink tea and listen to music here are either rich or expensive, and those who can enter here to sing and perform have to go through many screenings. The most important thing is to be innocent, with noble morals, and the most important thing is to be young, regardless of gender.

The cloth bag in Xia Mujin's hand was sewed by her overnight with clean cloth, and a few daisies were embroidered on it. If she got closer and took a deep breath, she could smell a sweet smell. She was standing outside the door of Meilou , come and go are well-dressed people, in twos and threes, whispering to each other, or frowning or smiling, but no one's eyes have ever stayed on her for a moment.

This is the reality, whether it is ancient or modern, the stratification of classes is very obvious, they can smile at anyone who is well dressed and enters this Meilou, but they are as indifferent as the air to Xia Mujin who is dressed like this .

Xia Mujin took a deep breath, and was thinking about how to enter this Meilou. In fact, with her talent, showing off casually would be a classic of this era, but she didn't want to do this, and she didn't want to sign a contract with this Meilou because of it under certain treaties.

"Miss, I heard that Mr. Liang will be performing in the third show today. According to your instructions, Tweety has booked the Taozhu Pavilion, and we are waiting for Mr. Li to come."

Xia Mujin was immersed in her own thoughts, and there was a mess of voices in her ears. She didn't look up at the culprit until she was knocked to the ground by a force.

"It's you!" Zhao Qiushui was in high spirits at the report of the servant girl Erxi, but who would have thought that there would be a beggar at the door of the Meilou, and would even block her way, if it wasn't for Erxi's quick eyesight and hands, he would pull herself away quickly and Pushing the beggar down, maybe she would bump into it, but when she saw the people on the ground clearly, she immediately felt the pleasure of stepping on iron shoes and finding nowhere, and it was effortless.

Xia Mujin narrowed her eyes slightly, seeing that the clean cloth bag was covered with dust, she got up on her own, and patted off the dust from the cloth bag and herself.

"You beggar, get out of here, can you afford to stain my skirt?"

Xia Muzhen's action completely angered Zhao Qiushui, and she taunted Xia Muzhen while holding her skirt away from her.

After shooting the dust, Xia Mujin took a look at Zhao Qiushui. Exquisite makeup, delicate facial features, and a pink summer dress with rain silk brocade made the whole person look fresh, but those eyes were too sinister, and many people looked back along the way. She, however, was frightened away by this pair of dark eyes, Xia Muqin pulled the corner of her mouth slightly, took a step back, and put her eyes on the entrance of Meilou.

"Are you deaf or blind, quickly kowtow to my lady and apologize, otherwise you will be more attractive." Seeing that Xia Mujin ignored them like this, Er Xi pointed at her and shouted sharply on the spot.

Last time I escaped this stinky beggar, causing her young lady to not go out for a few days, and she used that black and smelly medicine to cover her face, but this time it was not so easy, and this beggar is a beggar, even if It's been a hot day for a few days, and I haven't even changed a piece of clothes. Let alone getting close, I feel sick just standing opposite each other.

Xia Mujin smiled lightly, and then said in a clear voice: "Is this land yours? Did your mother teach you what is called first come first served? Or are people like you born so arrogant that you don't treat beggars and ordinary people as nothing at all?" people watching?"

Xia Mujin's few questions made Zhao Qiushui blush. Her father is the servant of the household department, and he is in charge of the common people's land and household registration, taxation and finance. The servant of the household department has long been anxious. Zhao Qiushui's attire is the income of an ordinary family for more than ten years.

Looking at her flickering eyes, Xia Mujin knew that she was talking about the center of gravity. As for her background, she didn't want to interfere extraneously, as long as she didn't bother herself anymore.

"Miss Qiushui, what's the matter, are you still waiting for that nobleman?"

Ye Feng came out in a snow suit, first glanced at Xia Mujin, and then slowly asked Zhao Qiushui.

"Boss Ye, I just saw this beggar standing at the door all the time. I was afraid of bringing bad luck to your building, so I said a few words to her, but I didn't know that this is a stubborn bull. Not only did he not listen to my advice, but also hurt people with his words. "

Zhao Qiushui is a frequent visitor to this Meilou, not to mention being generous, he often invites some young masters and ladies to set up small venues. Ye Feng is a business person, so naturally he will not be troubled by money. Or to frame this little... beggar, he just smiled decently: "Let Miss Qiushui worry."

This is the boss of Meilou, Ye Feng!
Xia Mujin carefully looked at Ye Feng's every move, tall and thin, with a stylish silhouette, and resolute facial features, coupled with this Shengxue outfit, he is really a handsome guy, and there is always a kind and decent smile on the corner of his mouth. She smiled lightly, but the smile didn't reach her eyes, and even carried a trace of cold contempt.
