"Thank you then!" Yu Xiaocao looked at the banknote for a long time, and after her curiosity was satisfied, she carefully folded the banknote and stuffed it into the hidden pocket of her padded jacket, satisfied again. patted.
Fifty taels of silver bill! Including the income from selling prey before, there are at least seven or eighty taels of silver. We also have a small savings!
Miss Zhou looked at her like a little money fan, her big eyes were bent into a pair of small crescents, her rosy lips were slightly raised, and her body was covered with patched cotton clothes, which couldn't hide her cuteness.
Yu Hai expressed his surprise when his daughter unceremoniously stuffed the silver bill into his arms. Why is the little girl so big of an idea? The fifty-two silver bills were stuffed into his pocket without changing his face. She doesn't know how many things fifty taels can buy, right? It doesn't take so much money to build five tile-roofed houses in Dongshan Village.
Yu Hai looked at Xiaocao's behavior of accepting the bank note without saying hello, hesitating to speak, so Young Master Zhou naturally noticed it. But Yu Hai didn't say anything in the end, and he didn't confiscate the bank notes that were enough for ordinary people to live for several years.
Zhou Zixu smiled slightly, and said to Yu Hai, "Uncle Yu is really a good father who loves his daughter."
Yu Hai looked at his little daughter who was eating snacks lovingly, thinking of her daughter's embarrassment when she was in a coma without a penny, and thinking of the frail bodies of the children at home, he shook his head lightly, with a heavy and self-reproach in his tone: "No , I'm not a good father..."
"Father, if you don't listen to my mother in everything, and think more about our little family, you will definitely be a good father worthy of the name!" Yu Xiaocao drank the hot brown sugar ginger water and gave her father Ideological Education.
"My mother... is also your own grandma, Cao'er. When she passed away, your father and I were still young. Your grandma was able to pull me up, and we must remember this affection. When your sister-in-law gets married, your uncle After being admitted as a scholar, there is no burden for the family, so we will go out and live alone. At that time, Dad will go to the mountains and seas a few more times, earn a lot of money, and buy new clothes for us Xiaocao to wear, buy a headband ..." Yu Hai stroked his daughter's slightly withered hair, feeling a little sore in his heart.
Yu Xiaocao pouted secretly, her father was the main source of income for the family. My uncle has passed the examination of scholar, so naturally he also wants to take the examination of Juren and Jinshi... Her grandma is a blood-sucking bug, and she will never let them go until the last drop of flesh and blood is squeezed out. If you want to separate, the hope is slim!
On Wednesday, another young boy knocked on the door and entered with a bulging bundle. Ban Simo, who was close to him, took it over, with an embarrassed expression on his face, and said, "This padded coat is indeed too small to wear. If Ms. Yu doesn't dislike it..."
"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it!" Tang Gu's richest man, the young master of the Zhou family, is dressed much more decently than ordinary people in the town. The cotton coat on his body is made of fine cotton thirty to forty cents a foot!
After taking the bag and taking a look, it turned out to be a brand new dark blue muslin padded jacket and trousers, with thick cotton wadding inside, which was so soft that you knew it was covered with new cotton without touching it. Such a set of cotton clothes would cost a few hundred cash at least.
It's not easy for people nowadays, so Yu Xiaocao naturally won't take advantage of him. While reaching out to his father, he said, "My little brother, we bought this set of cotton clothes. Dad, give me the money!"
The little girl had fifty taels of silver bills in her arms, but she still confidently asked her father to pay for it, which made Young Master Zhou laugh a lot. What's even more fun is that the thirteen-filial father, under the order of his daughter, obediently paid for it...
Si Mo hurriedly rejected the string of money that Yu Hai stuffed, and said repeatedly: "I can't wear the cotton coat, and it's useless to keep it, and it's a pity to lose it. It's rare that Miss Yu doesn't dislike it, how can I ask for money? "
In fact, the fabric for making the padded clothes was given to him by the wife for seeing him serve the young master with all his heart. Smo Niang, who felt that her son gave her a long face, happily stayed up for two nights to make cotton padded clothes, but the weather turned hot and she had no chance to wear them. When I take it out in winter, it will be too short to wear.
Due to Zhenxiu Restaurant, his young master's status in the Zhou family has also increased, and the eldest master praised his young master more than once in front of other young masters. As a personal servant, he was also looked at highly.
Si Mo, who came up with a self-conscious identity, prevented his mother from trying to connect the sleeves and trouser legs of the cotton coat. Just a joke, how could the personal servant of the dignified second house's sole heir come out in such a padded coat? Isn't it a joke? So, take a good set of brand new cotton clothes and just leave them idle.
Miss Yu, who is that? Zhenxiu Restaurant became Tanggu's No. 1 restaurant in just half a year, at least half of her credit. Even his own young master gave her a high look. It's rare that she doesn't dislike this cotton coat, how dare he take her money
Yu Xiaocao saw that if he stuffed money again, the little brother would be annoyed, so he didn't insist anymore. Expressing her gratitude to the little follower again, Yu Xiaocao stuffed the cotton padded jacket into the father's hands, and said goodbye to Young Master Wednesday.
Zhou Zixu said regretfully: "Chef Wang has come up with a new dish. I wanted to ask Xiaocao to taste it today and give some advice. It seems that I have to wait another day. By the way, where do you live, Xiaocao? Leave an address. Good luck finding you."
"My family lives in Dongshan Village, which is about 50 miles southeast of the town. It's a small fishing village." Yu Xiaocao's plan to make a fortune in a muffled voice is inseparable from the God of Wealth, so naturally he won't reject his face.
Coming out of the private room, he met Chef Wang who was walking in a hurry. Seeing that Yu Xiaocao was about to leave, his face was slightly disappointed. Hearing that she was going to visit her brother who was an apprentice, Chef Wang also came from an apprenticeship, so he naturally knew the hardships of being an apprentice. He asked the boy to pack a bag of freshly baked meat buns from the kitchen, and insisted that Xiaocao bring them to her brother.
Yu Xiaocao was very grateful, thank you again and again. Chef Wang chuckled and said, "Thank you! I'm borrowing flowers from our boss, and I'll give you this little Bodhisattva first! Ms. Yu, when I have a chance, let's learn cooking skills."
"My culinary skills are not enough in your hands, Uncle Wang. However, if I have new ideas in cooking, I must ask Uncle Wang for help."
Yu Xiaocao finally escaped from Chef Wang's enthusiasm. Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, she was stumped by a question from her father.
"Cao'er, you passed the gold lettered signboard of Zhenxiu Restaurant - oyster sauce to them? How do you know how to make oyster sauce? Why does Zhenxiu Restaurant's arrogant Chef Wang treat you with such respect and enthusiasm?" Yu Hai asked. Questions in mind.
Yu Xiaocao didn't know how to answer. You can't say: Dad, your daughter is dead, I'm a ghost from another world, and those things are all from the previous life-in this way, it's no wonder that I wasn't burned to death as a monster.
After hesitating for a moment, she plucked up her courage and asked, "Father, do you believe that people can come back from the dead?"
Yu Hai's complexion changed, his brows were so frowned that he could pinch a mosquito to death, and he said, "How can a person come back to life after he's dead? Unless his lifespan is not over, Lord Yama will not accept him!"
"If I say, I've been to the Hall of Hades and met the King of Hades, do you believe me?" Yu Xiaocao carefully stared at every expression on Yu Hai's face. If he showed great resistance and disgust, she would use the joke as an excuse and stop making it up.
Being able to enjoy the love and care of her parents again is her only comfort here. She didn't want to lose her father's love and mother's love again...
Yu Hai stopped walking, bent down and looked at her steadily, his eyes were full of pain and self-blame, he said slowly:
"Cao'er, was it the time you hit your head? Your grandpa said that you were out of breath at that time. Fortunately, Dr. You came in time and rescued you again... Dad is really useless, he can't even protect his own child." Wait, dad is not worthy to be your dad..."
"Father! Although you are a bit foolish and filial, you are Cao'er's favorite father. Father, you don't have to blame yourself. Although my daughter wandered around the gate of hell, she got a blessing in disguise and got some wealth. What is the solution!"
Since the cheap father does not reject the theory of ghosts and gods, Yu Xiaocao continued to fool around without saying anything. After all, she was almost thirty in her previous life. Although she tried her best to pretend to be a child, she would definitely show some strangeness inadvertently, and her plan to make a fortune would definitely not be hidden from her close relatives. Didn't ancient people fear ghosts and gods? I hope that this set of rhetoric she made up can be fooled.
When he thought of his daughter who had been taking care of him for eight years and almost died in vain, Yu Hai felt a wave of fear in his heart. He hugged his daughter's thin body tightly and said with a choked voice, "No amount of money is as healthy as my daughter's." Don't be afraid, Cao'er, tell dad what's going on?"
"Actually, I don't know very well. After being injured and unconscious, I vaguely saw a man in white and a man in black. They took me to a place and met a very dignified official. Later, it seemed to say that my life was not over, I caught the wrong person, and said that I would make it up to me. After waking up, I felt that something would appear in my mind for no reason. Conditions do not allow, never tried."
Yu Xiaocao tried to be as vague as possible, after all, the original owner was only nine years old after the new year, and if brought into a strange environment, he would definitely be afraid, and some things would not be remembered so clearly.
"Cao'er, don't be afraid! There is Zhang Baisui in Shangtun Village. It is said that he wandered around the underworld. King Yan Luo found out that he was wrongly judged and compensated his life. He lived to be 108 years old before dying. After Cao'er It will definitely live a long life!"
Yu Hai didn't dare to imagine that his delicate and weak daughter wandered around the eerie underworld. What would a girl who was already timid be afraid of
Yu Xiaocao was very surprised that there were similar examples in reality for her random rhetoric. This is good, at least the credibility has increased a lot.
The father and daughter walked side by side on the empty street in winter, Yu Hai's big hand tightly held his daughter's little hand, as if he was afraid that the daughter would be snatched away if he let go.
