Nan Baoyi met the visitors in the main hall.
It was a few well-dressed merchants who came in a hurry. They fell on both shoulders, and the edges of their robes were even splashed with mud.
Nan Baoyi motioned to her maid to bring tea, and said warmly: "Uncles and uncles do not know where they come from, why come to see me beforehand?"
The merchants looked at each other.
The headed old man said respectfully: "South Fifth Girl, we are all Shujin merchants in Jinguan City. I heard that Nan's family is in trouble, so I came here to help."
The brocade industry in Shu County is developed.
Shu brocade merchants are led by the Nan family and the Xia family, sharing half of the brocade industry, but there are also many small and medium-sized merchants.
Nan Baoyi blinked puzzledly.
As far as she knew, the family didn't have much friendship with these people. Well, how could they suddenly come to help?
Her eyebrows were crooked: "Are you trying to sell mulberry leaves to my family? It's a pity that the market price is too high, my family—"
"We are here to deliver mulberry leaves!"
A group of people spoke in unison.
The white-haired old man solemnly bowed his hands:
"At the Huachao event, the five girls once drew the pattern of the Hualou machine in public and gave it to all Shu brocade merchants free of charge. We built the Hualou machine according to the pattern and put it into use. I don't know how much manpower and material resources have been saved.
"The Nan family is kind to us. Now that you are in trouble, how can we stand by?
"It's not just ours who are willing to repay our gratitude. Jinguan City and even Shu County's large and small Shu Brocade merchants have collected thousands of catties of mulberry leaves from their homes. They are rushing here, and they will arrive soon. !"
Nan Baoyi was stunned.
The hand holding the tea cup couldn't help but tremble.
She stared at these pious merchants, and her eyes blushed quietly.
It is said that businessmen value profits, but people's hearts are all grown in flesh.
To vote for me and Qiongyao in return is the most normal reaction for a person.
Tears rolled quietly.
She put down the tea cup, stroked the skirt and bowed solemnly to them.
"useless!"
The old man hurriedly supported her.
He smiled graciously: "The Zhouyi says that there must be Yuqing in the home of goodness. The five girls also know that the brocade industry in Shu County is headed by the Nan family and the Xia family. If not the Nan family supports it, the Xia family Mergers and acquisitions must surely drive up the market. When we help Nanjia, we are also helping ourselves!"
Nan Baoyi wiped away tears, and glanced at the black rain curtain outside the window.
The family is in trouble, and the black hand behind the scenes is about to come out.
They like to play yin, she doesn't mind playing with them.
She whispered: "Uncles and uncles, Baoyi has a ruthless please..."
...
Xiao Yi coordinated the military grain accounts and proceeded very smoothly.
Others need two or three days, but it only took him half a day to do it all.
The remaining days are entitled to vacation.
During the rain break today, Qingcheng Mountain is trapped in the vast fog, and the scenery is like a fairyland.
Xiao Yi set up a counter under the eaves, and a cup of fragrant tea was surrounded by white mist, and the bitter taste spread in the air, which made people think clearly.
Nan Baoyi came out of the guest room and saw that the boy was sleeping with his eyes closed.
She walked over with her little hand on her back, feeling a little proud: "Second brother, I have solved the Mulberry crisis."
The teenager was indifferent.
Standing under the steps, Nan Baoyi tilted his head triumphantly, "More than that, I also set a condom for the Xia family.
"Didn’t they like to drive up prices? So I put 20,000 catties of mulberry leaves into the market at the price of twelve taels of silver. Unsurprisingly, they hurriedly bought them all last night, and again at the price of twenty taels of silver. sell.
"I plan to put 20,000 catties of mulberry leaves into the market every day for the next five days. By the sixth day, the Xia family will be in a hurry to see that our family has not been buying mulberry leaves.
"At that time, the market price has dropped sharply, and we will buy back some at a low price. Not only will we be able to support the growth of new leaves, we will also make a net profit of hundreds of thousands of taels of snow pattern silver from their family."
The little girl's eyebrows were smirked.
Xiao Yi kept his eyes down.
Nan Jiaojiao is really smart when she is clever, just to pick a man's vision is a little worse, why she is attracted to Jiang Suihan...
He was silent for a long while and said lightly: "Tomorrow is the Duanyang Festival."
Nan Baoyi was slightly startled.
She patted her head in annoyance, "I was patronizing the mulberry leaves, but I forgot the Duanyang Festival! I want to come, this year's Duanyang can't be with my grandmother..."
While she was talking, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Doctor Jiang is also on Zhuangzi, she can take the opportunity to spend Duanyang with him!
Isn’t it a good opportunity to cultivate feelings if you eat zongzi and see the dragon boat?
"Hehe, hehehehehe!"
She held her small face and smiled slyly, two rows of white teeth were tender and lovely.
Xiao Yi couldn't help but rehearsed: "Laughing like this, are there any rules?"
Nan Baoyi covered her little white teeth with her sleeves.
She curled her eyebrows: "Second brother, you and the doctor Jiang are old friends, and you should understand his preferences. Does he like to eat salty rice dumplings or sweet rice dumplings? I plan to cook a few rice dumplings personally to show my gentleness, virtue and soul. Handy!"
Xiao Yi raised his eyelids and glanced at her.
Just she, gentle and virtuous, ingenious?
The kitchen is good if it doesn't fry.
He was indifferent: "I don't know."
"stingy!"
Nan Baoyi murmured, flung his sleeves away, and left happily.
It doesn't matter if you like it, the big deal is that she packs two of each flavor of zongzi, there will always be Jiang Suihan likes!
Duanyang the next day.
Nan Baoyi got up early in the morning and saw a handful of wormwood hanging under the eaves. The herb smell was very good.
Every household lined up in front of the door to open incense cases, with Baisuo, rice dumplings, tea wine, five-color water balls, willow branches, sunflowers, Buddha Tao Ai and other objects to worship the gods. It was very lively.
She smiled and jumped into the kitchen.
The women in Zhuangzi prepared the materials for making zongzi early in the morning.
In the yard, Nan Baoyi was sitting on a small tartlet, earnestly learning to make zongzi.
Sitting under the west window, Xiao Yi could see the scene from a distance.
The little girl is approachable, and her eyebrows are crooked when she laughs, which is especially sweet.
About the eyes have learned the hands but not yet, she was holding two zong leaves for a long time and couldn't figure out how to do it.
Glutinous rice will always spill from the gaps in the zong leaves, not to mention stuffing such as dates and egg yolks.
Xu felt embarrassed, so she sent away the woman who taught her to make rice dumplings.
She held her small face, stared at the zongye for a while, and patted her head as if she had figured it out.
She took the needle and thread and carefully stitched the zong leaves into a pocket shape.
Pour in a little bit of glutinous rice, add a candied date, and sew the zong leaves with a needle and thread.
However, the zongzi sewed in this way is still easy to leak rice, so she added a few more zong leaves and sewed them to the outside carefully.
Finally, she sewed the zongzi into a ball.
She sews two-hour zongzi balls.
Xiao Yi watched her work for two hours and clearly saw that she had dropped several embroidery needles in the rice dumplings.
The little girl finally finished her work and looked at the chopping board with relief.
The chopping board is lined up with strangely shaped zongzi, like small green balls, looking strange and gratifying.
She picked up the chopping board and happily cooked rice dumplings.
Thinking of those embroidery needles, Xiao Yi suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Jiang Suihan.
