"Eleven, little Eleven! Come out and get me a piece of custard! More cream, more sugar, more raisins! No apples, hurry up!"
In the study room, Xiao Shiyi, who had memorized a whole volume of books, was leaning on his head and wandering around. Suddenly, Xiao Ai's sharp voice broke in from the window.
Scratching his head irritably, Xiao Shiyi raised his head and shouted out the window with a painful look on his face: "Sister Ai, everyone else in Sushan can do it, why do you always let me do it?"
Xiao Ai smiled, her eyebrows squeezed together, half of her body was lying on the window sill, she put her head into the study and said proudly to Xiao Shi: "Because your cooking is delicious! Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and do it."
, Miss is still waiting to eat!"
Xiao Shiyi knew Xiao Ai's temper. If he didn't do it today, this annoying girl would definitely not leave.
So he had no choice but to stand up and walk outside the house while muttering: "What does the young lady like to eat? Your young lady has a cold stomach, so she can't eat much cold food! Every time you make the cake, you will eat it in the end."
More than half?"
Xiao Ai, who was outside the window, overheard Xiao Shiyi's muttering, and her smiling face immediately dropped!
With her eyebrows raised and her little fists clenched, Xiao Ai finally waited until Xiao Shiyi walked out of the study room. Xiao Ai immediately rushed forward and accurately pinned Xiao Shiyi's ear with one hand!
"Little guy, what did you just say? Say it again if you have the ability!"
Before Xiao Shiyi could react, he felt a sharp pain in his ears, and then his ears were on fire. It hurt so much that he screamed: "Oh, oh! It hurts! Little Sister Ai, let go quickly, I dare not
Already..."
Xiao Ai continued to twist his ears and sneered: "Don't you dare? Huh! My lady said that anyone who says they don't dare will dare to do it again next time!"
Xiao Shiyi was also confused now. He just hoped that his ears could be rescued quickly. Hearing this, he immediately shouted in a panic, "...Sister Ai, I dare, don't you dare?"
Hearing this, Xiao Aile couldn't close her mouth. She grabbed Xiao Shiyi's ear and walked out. As he walked, he said: "Humph, I was right, you really dare! Let's go, today I
I’ll teach you a lesson!”
"Hey, be gentle, let go first, I will follow you..."
"No, what if you run away?"
"I won't run..."
"Hmph! You said the same thing last time!"
In the courtyard of Xiao Mansion, poor Xiao Shiyi was twisted by Xiao Ai's ears and walked away.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Da smiled bitterly and shook his head, while Butler Lu watched the two people walking away happily.
"The appearance of carefree children is really enviable..."
Sighing from the bottom of his heart, Butler Lu seemed to remember his own youth, and a smile suddenly appeared on his lips.
Memories of youth are generally good ones.
It's just that this kind of beauty is precious only if it exists in memory. It's okay to take it out to remember it occasionally, but never indulge in it.
After all, people still have to live in the present.
After thinking about it for a moment, Butler Lu let out a long breath, and his originally blurry eyes gradually regained their clarity.
Turning to look at Xiao Da, who was silent next to him, Butler Lu sighed and said, "You are not much older than them! Why do you keep a straight face every day? You look like an old man, not at all young.
Vigor?"
Hearing this, Xiao Da forced a smile, cupped his hands to Butler Lu and said, "Mr. Lu doesn't seem to be old this year, so he still calls himself an old man?"
"Oh? Hahahahaha~ You have defeated me!"
Butler Lu did not expect that he would be asked a question by Xiao Da, but he was not annoyed. Instead, he proudly touched his beard and said:
"I am different from you. I have stood up at thirty and have no doubts at forty. No matter what, I am still in my prime of life! And you, now, are young and frivolous, and you should not be sluggish at all."
Xiao Da shook his head and smiled at Butler Lu: "Mr. Lu, there is no need to worry about the boy. The boy is doing well now! The Marquis is now running around and working hard for the family business, and the younger brothers and sisters have not grown up! If the boy continues to be careless,
If your lungs are alive, that would be really ridiculous."
"It's rare that you have such a heart. The Marquis has not taken care of you in vain!"
Butler Lu was very satisfied with Xiao Da. He reached out and patted Xiao Da's shoulder and said with a smile: "That's all, everyone has his own way of living. Since you like it, I won't talk too much! How about it? A while ago, Mr. Hou asked
Are your things ready?"
Xiao Da couldn't help but look serious when Butler Lu suddenly asked about this. He nodded and said: "Everything is ready. However, in order to prepare these things, our family bought almost all the saltpeter in Chang'an! Nowadays, many people
Strange, what are we doing with so much saltpeter, I think this is not good!"
Upon hearing this, Butler Lu frowned and thought for a while, then nodded slowly and said: "That's right, saltpeter has very little use in Chang'an, only some tanneries use it.
Nowadays, it is inevitable that we will suddenly attract the attention of others with our sudden large-scale acquisitions. We must find a way to resolve this matter as soon as possible, otherwise there is no guarantee that it will not ruin the Marquis's major event in the future!"
Xiao Da nodded and pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "Mr. Lu, actually I have an idea."
"Oh? What's your idea?" Butler Lu looked up at Xiao Da and asked.
Xiao Da looked around and saw that no one was around. He approached Butler Lu and said in a low voice: "Now, people outside are speculating on what we are going to do with saltpeter! In my opinion, instead of hiding it, it is better to go with the flow and give them a reasonable answer."
explanation! In this way, they think they have got the answer to the matter, and naturally they will not focus on this issue anymore!"
Butler Lu was a little surprised. He looked at Xiao Da and asked, "You mean..."
Xiao Da nodded heavily and said to Butler Lu: "That's right! I'm talking about the secret recipe for making ice!
As long as we spread this secret recipe, firstly, it can quell some people's inquisitiveness! Secondly, it can also make saltpeter more useful, and also allow more and better saltpeter to be shipped by merchants! We will use saltpeter for the future.
prepare for!
I remember the Marquis once said that from now on, this world will be dominated by the Communist Party, so the more saltpeter and the better the quality, the better it will be for us!
With his mouth wide open, Butler Lu looked at Xiao Da who was talking eloquently in front of him without blinking.
At this moment, Butler Lu suddenly felt that the child he had almost watched grow up had become extremely strange in an instant!
You know, the ice-making industry was originally a planned way for the Xiao family to make money.
It is conceivable that after this industry is put into operation, it will definitely bring huge profits to the Xiao family!
But now, just to provide cover for the government, it was pushed out by Xiao Da without hesitation before it even started to be implemented.
This kind of decisiveness is definitely not what a teenager should have!
"This...this matter is too big. I can't make the decision. I need the Marquis to make the decision!"
After thinking for a long time, Housekeeper Lu finally lost the energy of a young man and couldn't make up his mind on how to choose, so he had to put it aside for the time being and leave this matter to Xiao Han.
Of course, Xiao Da did not feel any surprise about this result.
Anyway, the ** that the Marquis needs has been produced, so the demand for saltpeter will immediately decrease. The inventory alone is enough for him to conduct experiments during this period.
