The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 121
Xiaomi picked up his mind and hurriedly sent shopkeeper Chen out, only to find that he was still holding on to the cloak when he turned around.

The evening cold wind blew, and she shivered from the cold. She subconsciously wrapped the cloak around her body, and the instant warmth made her nose sore again...

"The man has left, but the cloak has been delivered. What the hell is this?"

On the first day of the new year, he just came out of the stable, saw Xiaomi standing in the air, and dragged her into the kitchen.

Fearing that the cloak would be stained with oily smoke, Xiaomi quickly took it off and hugged it in his arms.

Aunt Han was helping Aunt Jiang prepare dinner, glanced at the cloak, her pupils flickered, and praised, "Miss's cloak is really good, such a good fox fur is rare."

Aunt Jiang and Qinghua Qingyu also gathered around to have a look, and suddenly remembered the bet and asked, "But the white fox fur that Mr. Feng hunted back?"

Xiaomi nodded, but he didn't want to say more, so he asked in a low voice, "Ma'am, do you still want to eat?"

Aunt Jiang immediately looked around vigilantly, and saw that there were indeed no outsiders, so she lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "I lost it, girl, although only two of the fifty buns were lost, it must be lost. I thought I stole it on the first day of the new year." I ate it, but this time I have ordered it, so I still lost it.”

On the first day of junior high school, he rolled his eyes innocently, and had to say that this was a bad habit he learned from Xiaomi.Xiaomi knocked him amusedly, feeling a little puzzled in his heart.

It turned out that Aunt Jiang had discovered that food was always thrown away in the kitchen a few days ago.Or leftovers from last night, or steamed buns that have been waiting all day to be reheated the next morning.

And not much was lost, as if the thief only took a little bit carefully to taste something new.At first, the aunt thought it was the first year of junior high school or the two of them, but after asking all the time, none of the three admitted it.Moreover, the Lu family is generous, even the servants and maids treat them as family members and children, never treat them harshly, eat and drink like the master's family, and can't be so talkative that they need to steal food.

Aunt Jiang was also intentional. After talking to Xiaomi last night, she secretly marked the remaining steamed bun cage. Sure enough, she woke up early and saw that the cage had been moved, and two steamed buns were missing...

Although this is not a big deal, but this kind of feeling that something is out of control on his own site really makes Xiaomi uncomfortable.

She had some vague guesses in her heart, but it was hard to say them out.So I said to everyone, "Thank you for preparing dinner, I will go to the backyard to put down the cloak first."

"You're welcome, girl, we should."

Aunt Han responded, and then signaled Qingyu to follow up to serve, but Xiaomi waved her hand and left Qingyu behind, and went back to the backyard by herself.

After closing the courtyard door, she was silent for a moment, then softly asked around, "Hey, are you... the man left by Brother Feng?"

The dark night, the cold wind, and the quiet courtyard have not changed in any way because of her question.

Xiaomi frowned, unwilling to give up, rolled his eyes, and said, "No matter who you are, it's not good to steal food like this, and it's cold in winter, so you always have to eat some hot food. Why don't I let you eat in the future?" How about the people in the kitchen leaving the food on the stove?"

The night is still quiet, but there seems to be something surging.The corner of Xiaomi's mouth curled up, and he said with a smile, "That's the deal, but I don't know how many of you are there? How much do I need to prepare? One is enough?"

This time, before her words fell to the ground, two small stones shot out from an inexplicable corner and rolled to her feet.

Xiaomi smiled even sweeter, reached out to pick up the stone and turned it upside down. She was absolutely certain that Feng Jian had left two hands behind, so she was even more happy, and said, "Starting tonight, I will ask people to leave food in the kitchen, and the food will be left behind. The big kang in the main house is also burned every day. If you want to rest and settle down, go there. And...thank you!"

After that, she hurried back to the house.

There was a faint sound of giggling in the corner of the courtyard, and soon there was no movement...

Originally, Xiaomi was the only one in charge of the Lu family. At that time, I really hoped for someone to help, but now there are Aunt Jiang, Qinghua Qingyu, Hongmei and a diligent Aunt Han in the family.

At dinner time, she gave an order, and even though Aunt Jiang was puzzled, she still left two bowls of rice covered with sliced ​​twice-cooked pork, and put them in the drawer on the stove.

The blue, white and green jade also stuffed corn stalks into the kang hole of the inverted room. After lighting it, within half an hour, the big kang was hot to the touch.

In the dead of night, when the whole Old Xiong Ridge had finished exercising and fell asleep, two figures sneaked into the kitchen of the Lu family.

The food in the cage was swept away, and after a while, I opened the door of the inverted room and lay down on the warm kang.

Both of them let out a long sigh of relief, one of them kicked the other, "Lao Liu, you will be on duty tonight first."

The sixth lazily kicked back and said angrily, "Why should I be on duty first?"

"Because you are younger than me."

The sixth child rolled over in pain on the big kang for a few times, but he got up and went out and jumped onto the roof to continue drinking the northwest wind.

Very light snoring soon sounded in the inverted room. These days of eating and sleeping in the open air, exhaustion made the extremely alert people lose all defenses, especially in such a winter day, after such a full meal, such a scorching heat. On the big kang.

Xuan Liu tightened his padded jacket, quietly went to the backyard, and jumped onto the big tree.The lights in the main room hadn't been extinguished yet, and the thin figure reflected on the window made Xuan Liu feel extraordinarily warm.

The master has a good vision, such a good girl, she must not be let go.They should cheer up and take good care of their master. If they are snatched away by the unscrupulous, they will regret it and die without waiting for the master to punish them.

Xiaomi has been busy for a long time, thinking that he will get up early to cut vegetables tomorrow morning, so he tidied up the plain cotton cloth on the kang, spread out the bedding, turned on the lamp and went to sleep, thinking that somewhere outside there was a man left by that person to guard him, She slept extra soundly...

At night, snowflakes floated in the sky again.Different from the previous rice-grain snow, this time it finally turned into heavy snow, fluttering and falling from the sky, looking very leisurely and beautiful.

In previous years, this was Maodong's signal. Everyone should hide their hunting bows, stock up on firewood and food, and prepare to hibernate like wild animals.

The men gathered together to brag about the fire, and the women sat together to embroider insoles and tie sash to supplement the household income.

But this year's heavy snow made the whole village extremely happy. There is no other reason. The bigger the snow and the colder the weather, the more expensive the vegetables grown by each family are.

Your family has two baskets of spinach, his family has two baskets of shallots, and mine has two baskets of leeks. They were all cut in half an hour. The grass ropes tied the vegetable seedlings neatly, like soldiers being inspected. Likeable.

Shopkeeper Chen sent the safest steward, plus a smiling knife and two juniors. The four of them drove two carriages and directly put the vegetable baskets in. The remaining space can hold two charcoal basins, so as not to freeze the vegetables on the road. Withered.

In the end, the carriage entered the snowstorm amidst the expectations of the villagers.

This morning, there were no people under the big tree at the entrance of the village.Mr. Feng, who always prided himself on his prudence, made two trips "dropping in" with a copper pipe and pot, which made the villagers laugh all the time.

After finally looking forward to noon, some naughty children shouted loudly, "I'm back, Brother Xiaodao is back!"

The whole Old Xiongling was turned upside down because of this sentence. Those who ate threw away their bowls, and those who lit the fire threw away their sticks. All men, women, and children left the house wrapped in padded jackets.

Xiaomi was also eating at home, and when he heard the naughty boys rush in to report the news, Xiaomi immediately asked Qinghua Qingyu to vacate the dining table and bring tea instead. The dim sum shop sells delicious food.

Sure enough, after a while, Old Master Feng and his elders arrived.

Xiaodao was also enthusiastically pushed into the Lu family's yard by the villagers, perhaps because he was in a hurry on the way, his eyebrows, sideburns, and beard that had just sprouted were covered with frost, and he looked a little embarrassed.

But this did not prevent him from having a big smile on his face. He untied the bag on his back and filled it with Xiaomi and shouted, "Xiaomi, I got back the money for selling vegetables!"

Xiaomi hurriedly waved him into the house, and complained with a smile, "Even if you are in a hurry, you still want to come back by carriage. Riding a horse is not afraid of freezing your face. My aunt still expects you to marry a handsome sister-in-law."

Everyone laughed, Xiao Dao didn't care, he wiped off the frost on his face with his hand, grabbed another bowl of tea and drank it, then pointed to the bag on the table and said, "The shopkeepers of those restaurants are all old foxes. Where did I hear that our old Xiongling planted a lot of vegetables this year, so they refused to pay last year's high price, but Uncle Chen was so good that he actually said that he wanted to transport the vegetables to Qingzhou and Fengzhou, so they were in a hurry and gave 36% of last year's price Price. A total of 720 baskets of vegetables were sold for [-] taels of silver. I didn’t ask for a silver ticket, it’s all silver coins, and it’s all here!”

The eyes of the villagers followed the fingers of the knife to look at the bag, and it was so hot that it almost burned a few holes in the bag.

Old Master Feng coughed twice, and said with a smile, "Okay, don't be so embarrassing, let Xiaomi share the money."

Everyone laughed in embarrassment, but their eyes kept leaving the bag.

Xiaomi took the account book that Xiaodao took out from his chest, and while flipping through it, he ordered Qingyu, "Go and give Brother Xiaodao a bowl of noodles."

Aunt Liu listened and felt grateful. As a mother, she was only focused on looking at the bag, forgetting that her son must not have had lunch at this time.

She hurriedly followed Qingyu out, and the vegetable baskets of every household on the left and right were wrapped with cloth strips with numbers on them, the weight could not be wrong, and the money could not be corrected, and she would not give a penny less just because she was not there.

Xiaodao smiled and spread out the silver coin in the bag, Xiaomi read the name of a villager, and he handed over the silver coin.

There are eighteen families in one village, young and old, and all the money is divided in the blink of an eye.

But there was a strange silence in the room. The ten taels of big silver scorpions were almost bigger than the fists of the naughty boys. Each family divided three of them, and with the scattered silver, every household had three 40 taels of silver. .It was placed heavily in the palm of the hand, and also pressed on the heart, and slowly turned into the most frenetic magma, which made everyone's noses sour and mouths dry...

"Am I dreaming?"

Who knows who asked softly, but it ignited the whole room like a fuse.

"Oh, get rich, get rich!"

"Hey, it's for money, it's finally for money!"
