305, the way to make money

"Rui Cai makes a fire and boils water, Xizi takes action; Yingyuan and Youqing clean up the woodshed, free up half of the room to use as a clean room, buy a bathtub tomorrow and place it in the clean room." Ni Jie looked at Dan Tai Furong, "I will accompany you to the river to wash clothes first. If there are other students who wash clothes, you can be with them first. I will come back to help Yingyuan and the others clean the woodshed."

Dan Tai Furong said after a while: "Where is a clean toilet? I... haven't solved it yet..."

"I didn't solve it either..." Xizi looked at her and smiled, "Where are you?"

Xiaoxiao spread her hands: "I haven't had time to go to the toilet to see..."

"I saw it..." Xizi cried with a sad face, "I don't want to go to that place anymore."

Xiaoxiao thought for a while: "Today's toilet is temporarily abandoned, let's find another way."

Dan Tai Furong looked at Xiaoxiao with bright eyes, and she was almost suffocating to death with her belly while covering her hands.

"There is a piece of wormwood behind our house. Let's guard each other, let's solve it in the wormwood field first... As for the future..." Xiaoxiao had no better way, so he could only rely on the mosquito repellent medicine at tomorrow's market.

Ruicai still looked as usual: "When I was in my hometown, I sprinkled the deworming powder in the toilet. If I choose the right medicine powder, I can eliminate the maggots and will not appear again for more than ten days."

Dan Tai Furong turned to Ruicai with bright eyes, and finally she was looking forward to the savior: "Okay, okay! Then let Wei Rui go to buy medicine tomorrow! When the toilet is cleaned, let's change the dirty cloth curtains hanging on it, buy a piece of makeup and embroidered with peonies, which makes people feel fragrant when you look at it!"

The peony is going to die of grievance.

"There are a lot of things to buy at the market tomorrow. Everyone write down their ideas. Let's unify them tonight and see which ones are most urgently needed." Ni Jie said.

"If there are fruits, it's best to buy some." Xizi said these words, feeling a little embarrassed, "Now the Qiushui pear has been harvested, sweet and moisturized."

Everyone couldn't help swallowing after hearing this.

Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said, "I see that there are fruit trees in those fields. Let's find out who has an orchard in this village. Maybe you can buy some fruits at a cheap price."

"After the fruits in the orchard were picked by those fruit merchants, the remaining small ones were hung on the trees. It is often not expensive for those passing by to pick a few," Ruicai's hometown, "We can give the fruit farmers a few cents and then pick some small fruits."

"Where is the wormwood land?! Who are you going?" Dan Tai Furong finally couldn't help asking.

As a result, I heard a voice in unison: "I'll go."

So everyone lined up to solve the problem in the artemisia area, and the little fairies completely fell into the mortal world.

...

The woodshed is easy to clean up. After all, the owner has already put everything in it. Yingyuan and Youqing only need to empty the required location of the clean room. The two of them cleaned the clean room and sprinkled water to smoke the fragrance.

The two washed their hands, and Ruicai and the others had already boiled the water. Unfortunately, Aunt Gui's teapot with a mouth-breaking and lacking cover was really useless. Ruicai put tea leaves in everyone's bamboo cup and drank it directly with a cup.

Ruicai lit the dried wormwood that had just been folded back from the wormwood field and tried to smoke the yard to repel mosquitoes.

"It's so choking. This smell is much worse than mugwort!" Xizi covered his nose, but found that there were indeed no mosquitoes flying around him.

"This is bitter wormwood, which can also cure mosquitoes." Ruicai is used to this taste, so he doesn't think anything about it.

Xiaoxiao could barely accept it, after all, it was better than being bitten by mosquitoes.

But that Youqing was the most unbearable, and shed tears and coughed non-stop.

Ruicai had to destroy the ignited wormwood first, and then used a big palm fan to drive away the smell.

Youqing then coughed and said, "I have suffered from coughing since I was a child. When I smell these spicy smells, I will get sick."

Xizi shook the handkerchief sprinkled with fragrance around everyone, and the fragrance of jasmine flowers suddenly filled with: "Let's think of another way."

Everyone also understood that fortunately, the Dantai Furong was not there at this moment. If she could not accept this smell, she would definitely cover her nose and let the smell of wormwood drop. If she could accept this smell, then the one who suffered was Youqing. Maybe she would chase Youqing to stay elsewhere, but Youqing would not attract mosquitoes anyway.

Even Xiaoxiao had this idea. Anyway, the young Qing didn’t attract mosquitoes, so it would be the same when he went to the west room to sleep at night. Those who were afraid of mosquitoes simply lit up artemisia seeds in the east room to smoke the mosquitoes. Although this idea was a bit inhumane, I went to the west room to sleep with Aunt Gui and Ma Ma on the same kang... It was indeed a bit inhumane.

Ruicai seemed to see Xiaoxiao's thoughts, patted her on the shoulder and said softly: "I promised that we are a team."

Xiaoxiao nodded: "Let's drink tea, don't let down such good water."

It is rare that there is such sweet well water in the north. Even if you don’t make tea, you can drink water alone and feel a pleasant feeling.

"This tea is so delicious! The well water here is so sweet!" The four girls greedily drank the tea in the cup, as if they had already experienced the taste of the bitterness and sweetness.

Only Youqing did not fully enjoy it, and still looked worried: "We only have 160 cents, and tomorrow we will only be enough to buy a few window screens. With the deworming powder, we will probably emptied us. What you mentioned is a big bathtub that costs one tael of silver."

"It's cheap in the countryside, and it can't cost so much," Ruicai saw everyone looking at him with longing, but his voice didn't seem to dim, "But it's worth 300 words..."

Xiaoxiao was not as depressed as everyone: "This is what I was trying to say. It is useless for us to save blindly. We must think about the way to make money."

"We're selling our own things at the market?" Xizi thought for a while, "I brought a few more bottles of fragrant luster. I don't know if I can sell them at the market. That bottle costs two taels of silver, which is 4,000 yuan!"

"I'm afraid that the country people won't recognize this." Ruicai shook his head first.

Several people were discussing, and they heard someone say at the door, "Is there anyone at home?" The voice sounded a little familiar.

"Come in!" Ruicai replied.

Everyone looked at the door, but unexpectedly, the classmate Xue Cong came in.

Xue Cong was still wearing her old white-washed skirt, with a tough smile on her face: "I didn't expect there were so many mosquitoes in the countryside. Have you ever been bitten?"

Xizi complained first: "Mosquitoes are just about to eat people."

After all, Xue Cong was a guest, so Xiaoxiao called her to sit down and have tea.

"I'm not busy, I have to go to a few more stores," Xue Cong took out a silk incense, "This is a specially made mosquito repellent coil in Nanyang. It has a particularly powerful effect. It not only repellent mosquitoes, but also many poisonous insects."

Because it was something that everyone urgently needed, several people came over to take a look. It was indeed a rare mosquito repellent and the smell was very light.

"The advantage of this mosquito repellent is that it doesn't smell if it is lit, but the effect of insecticide and mosquito killing is particularly powerful. I can give you one to try first. Don't look at this small incense, it can be lighted for more than an hour!" Xue Cong said, igniting the incense with a fire slice first.

The cigarette spread out, and it really tasted very light.

"You try it first. If you think it's good, go to our yard to find me." Xue Cong smiled enthusiastically, "It's close to you, and it's three yards away. There is an old tall toon tree in our yard, which is easy to find."

As he said that, he got up and went there, thinking that he would go to another place to sell it.

When Xue Cong walked away, Xizi said, "I have already thought of the way to make money, so I will take one step ahead of us."

"Before, everyone thought it was an ordinary outing, who would make these preparations?" Youqing said softly, "Xue Cong always did business wherever he went. This time she got the bargain."

"If her mosquito repellent coil is really good, then we can only buy it." Ruicai had already discovered that the four of them were much quieter, and a mosquito could not be heard. This mosquito repellent coil was more effective than the artemisia seeds.

Youqing bit her lip: "It's just that I can't smell the bitter wormwood. It's because I'm tired of taking care of everyone."

"Stop talking about this, especially in front of the lotus, just think there is no artemisia." Ruicai filled Youqing with tea.

As soon as Hehua was mentioned, Dan Tai Furong came back and held the large wooden basin with wet clothes inside: "It's better not to go, the clothes were washed out! I didn't rub them too hard!"

Ruicai took her wooden basin and spread her wet clothes: "I'm a little too hard, but I'm washing it very clean." As she said that, she helped her put the wet clothes on the clothesline in the yard.

"There are monkey children playing with water in the river, and they keep flirting with water towards us! Next time you go, I will never go there to wash clothes again!" Dan Tai Furong was so angry when she remembered the group of butt-skinned boys, she wanted to fight back hard, but she didn't dare to look directly...

"Sit down and have some tea!" Youqing greeted her for tea.

Dan Tai Furong sat down, her hair was still a little messy and she couldn't comb her hair. In addition, she just avoided the attacks of those monkey children, so she was simply disheveled and spreading her hair at this moment.

"If you drink tea, I will comb your hair." Xiaoxiao went to the inner room to get the comb.

Dan Tai Furong took a sip of tea and immediately smiled as a lucky cat with satisfaction. She stole half a day of leisure. She was talking about this feeling, so she spent most of her day in a thrilling way. At this moment, she was able to sit down and drink a cup of fragrant tea. It was really a beauty in life.

When I heard Xiaoxiao comb his hair, I felt even more happy. While drinking tea, I said happily: "I want to comb my hair and look at the fairy bun! Although I don't have gold and silver jewelry, I still bring two peony silk flowers!"

Xiaoxiao was stunned: "Our group has combed single snails all over the past three days, which are easy to comb and neatly, and it does not affect work."

"Just comb the double ring looking at the fairy bun! Anyway, I want to comb the double ring looking at the fairy bun." Dan Tai Furong acted a little coquettishly in her domineering behavior.

Xiaoxiao said in a tone: "Comb a single snail bun for free, and comb a double ring and look at the fairy bun for fifty words!"

Dan Tai Furong instantly silted, closed her eyes and let Xiaoxiao comb her single snail bun.

"Why is today so boring? It's already the beginning of autumn." Ruicai fanned the big palm fan.

"If we continue like this, we are afraid that our buns will not be able to survive the night." Xiaoxiao said while combing her hair.

Speaking of supper, Dan Tai Furong became energetic again: "What should we eat at night? In order to keep our waists soft, it is best not to eat big fish and big meat at night." While speaking, he swallowed his saliva, and wanted to eat big fish and big meat too much.

He smiled and sneered: "Miss Dan Tai, the only meat we have is the dozen loaches raised in the wooden basin."

Dan Tai Furong was shocked: "Didn't you agree to prepare the ingredients for you?"

Sister, are the ingredients easy to cut?

Ruicai thought for a while and said, "There are eighteen eggs in the kitchen basket."

"Why are there eighteen? You haven't gotten together!" Dan Tai Furong expressed dissatisfaction again.

"Because each of us eats one every day, and it's exactly eighteen in three days." Xizi replied.

Dan Tai Furong beat her heart and stopped talking.
