Chapter 266: The Republic of China Perfumer 2
byFancy glanced at the sky outside the window, and guessed that it was at most five o'clock now.
She hadn't woken up at this point in years, it was too embarrassing.
But she got up quickly and walked around the room with the incense burner in her arms. After searching for a long time, she couldn't find a suitable place to hide it.
The Li family has such little belongings, and it can be described as a family with four walls, and it is easy to be found wherever they hide.
At this time, the little girl said excitedly:
"Sister, do you want to hide something? Come with me!"
Then Fancy was led by her to the lower room where the smoked herbs and mugwort leaves were put.
The Li family had only two earthen embryo houses, which were built by the three sisters' father when he was there.
Live in the upper room, put the sundries in the lower room.
Because of providing sachets to Chongfu Temple all year round, a lot of smoky herbs and mugwort leaves are placed in the lower room.
As soon as the fancy went in, the strong herbal smell inside was so smoked that couldn't open eyes.
Little girl Li Zhuhuan trotted to the corner of the wall, pushed a large bag of mugwort leaves to one side with great effort, squatted down, and picked up an adobe at the root of the wall with her little hand.
The adobe was dug out by her, revealing a small hole in it.
There are some colorful things in the small hole.
I thought it was rubbish, but when took a closer look, it turned out to be a pile of brightly colored debris, including rags, broken clips, copper bells without cores, and even a half-bitten cloud cake. ...
The little girl cherished and took out the contents, touched them one by one, and said in her mouth:
"Second sister always steals my things, I have to find a place to hide it that she doesn't know about. Big sister, you hide here too, she will definitely not find it!"
Among the three sisters, Li Zhucui is the most domineering and willful.
Li Zhupei let her, give her something good, or grab it if she doesn't.
The little sister didn't let her, so she stole from behind, specializing in stealing food for children.
Fancy because these words reminded me of the year when my little sister was born, the second sister Li Zhucui did not let her mother breastfeed, and it meant that this little sister would be starved to death.
At this time, the screams of Mrs. Li came from outside the courtyard.
Fancy quickly put the incense burner in, pushed the wormwood bag back to block it, got up in a hurry, and went out with the sachet made yesterday.
It seems that we can only study it when we come back.
It happens that there are several ready-made natural spices at home, let's try to make the most common bamboo stick incense first.
The most used incense in Chongfu Temple in memory is this kind of incense.
Fancy while walking, convert the prices of the world in mind:
A bamboo stick incense two cents, two cents can buy a big meat bun.
5000 bamboo stick incense sticks is a piece of ocean, and a piece of ocean can buy a 30-pound bag of foreign flour.
A bag of foreign flour and other coarse grains is enough for a family of five to live frugally for a month...
One piece of ocean can also buy one zhang of foreign cloth, one zhang of cloth can make two sets of adult clothes, and children can make four or five pieces.
The more think about being fancy, the colder feel, the more hungry feel.
She drank a bowl of clear white porridge last night.
Have to go out and deliver without having breakfast.
The morning in the late summer of Urakami is still a little cool, especially at the foot of the jungle-covered mountains.
When the cold wind blows, all the fancy hairs stand up.
After climbing the mountain for about half an hour, handed a basket of sachets to the monk who was waiting at the gate of the monastery. The other party gave her 50 cents after counting.
There are at least thirty or forty sachets in this basket, which she and her mother sewed for three days.
It turned out to be only 50 cents.
Fancy stopped the little monk and said:
"Can't you give me more? Our family has provided you Chongfu Temple with sachets for so many years. There is no credit or hard work. Besides, you have to sell one of your sachets to pilgrims for a dime, which is doubled. Earn money."
The little monk opened his mouth and was stunned.
Is this Pei girl transsexual?
In the past, would send things with head down, and then would go back with head down when was done.
Jin'er not only talked to him with a smile, but also asked him if he could raise the price!
Smiling so pretty!
The little monk hurriedly lowered his head and saluted, asking:
"Miss Pei, it's up to us to decide."
The gadgets such as the sachets in the temple are all made by the master, and of course they are not the same price.
But he couldn't say this, for fear that the girl's face would not look good.
Fancy looked at him as a seventeen or eighteen-year-old, a young novice with beautiful eyebrows, and deliberately said:
"Then talk to your prison. If he promises to raise the price for our family, I will ask my mother to make two pairs of shoes for you. If you don't want to, I can make it for you!"
In Urakami, there is a custom of a girl's family giving her sweetheart shoes made by herself.
Hearing the words, the little monk's face turned red, and he quickly waved his hand to say no, turned around and ran away with the basket in his arms.
As a result, he had barely run two steps when one foot stepped on the hem of the monk's robe, and he fell and flew out half a person, and the sachet smashed his head.
He got up in a hurry, picked up the sachet, and ran away without looking back.
Fancy looked at the back of his embarrassed escape and laughed until he was thumping to the ground.
When going down the mountain, pilgrims have come up one after another to pray for blessings.
Chongfu Temple is the largest temple in Urakami, and it is also the most famous. The incense has not been broken from five or six in the morning to eleven or twelve in the evening.
But today there seem to be a lot more people.
Fancy saw several men dressed as housekeepers asking around with something.
She didn't pay much attention to it, holding the flimsy five-cent bill while walking and looking at the sunlight in the early morning.
Not any kind of paper money she had ever seen.
She also didn't know the national leader painted on it.
Wrinkled and full of copper stench.
At this moment, a man stopped her, handed her a black and white photo, and asked:
"Has the girl ever seen this child?"
Fancy stuffed the wrinkled fifty cents into his trouser pocket, and saw in the photo a lovely lady of four or five years old in a small suit.
At first glance, he is the young master of a rich family.
Fancy shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it."
Jia Ding nodded and added:
"If the girl sees this child, take him to the first floor of the Shouque, and you can get 500 yuan in the ocean."
When Huahuan heard "Five hundred yuan ocean", his eyes were green, he nodded vigorously, and said in a poisonous oath:
"Don't worry! I'll send him when I see him!"
In the end, he even grabbed the photos in the hands of Jiading, and deeply imprinted the appearance of the five hundred yuan ocean in his mind.
When got home, before Fancy entered the door, heard the cry of second sister, and she cried while crying:
"Mom! I want to go to school! I want to wear a pleated skirt! All the other girls go to school, but I roll in a pile of stinky smoked grass every day! You can't do this to me!"
When Mrs. Li came up and wanted to beat her with the laundry stick, she avoided her and cursed at the well in anger:
"You damn girl still want to go to school! You are the one who has the most shit at home all day long!"
"My old wife earns three yuan a month, and she has to pay eighteen yuan in tuition for a year of schooling. The whole family doesn't eat or drink for you to read books, right?"
"Why don't you die?!"
Immediately, there was the sound of tinkling bells.
Li Zhucui shouted: "Mother save me! The milk is going to kill me!"
Fancy abruptly stopped her footsteps into the yard.
