Chapter 231 Hitting a wall
"I don't come back for long every year, but I'm a little thirsty after rushing back all the way."
When the puppy Ba Shi saw everyone coming back, it started to make cute noises towards everyone.
An Nian walked in front, and the dog followed An Nian, wagging its tail happily.
An Nian placed two bamboo baskets filled with honeysuckle on the stone slab and quickly squatted down to stroke Ba Shi.
An Yue and Chun Zhi walked into the yard carrying baskets on their backs. They heard An Nian say he was thirsty, and they felt the same at this moment.
So they carried the basket into the yard. An Yue stood up and walked to the bamboo fence, looking closely at the beehive in the southwest corner of the yard.
Chunzhi poured all the pig feed into the yard, then overlapped the two backpacks and put them in the tool shed next to the pigpen.
After checking the beehive, An Yue let out the chicks in the bamboo cage to get some fresh air.
When the little chicks came out, they all flapped their little wings happily.
When Bashi saw the chicks coming out, he seemed extremely excited.
It fell to the ground and rolled over, its front paws on the ground, its butt sticking out, teasing the little chicks.
In fact, the little chicks were so scared of it that they wanted to stay away from it.
After Chunzhi put away the backpack, she took off the apron around her waist and brushed off the dust and weeds all over her body.
After a while, An Nian changed his clothes and walked out of the room.
The three of them went to the main hall and sat on the benches around the eight-immortal table.
An Nian poured three large bowls of boiled water. An Yue and Chun Zhi picked up the bowls and started drinking.
After drinking the water, An Nian began to talk about what he saw and heard today.
An Yue and Chun Zhi sat quietly aside, listening with great interest and smiles on their faces.
At dusk, smoke rose from cooking fires in and outside the village, and the mountains and forests were filled with mist. Farmers in the fields, carrying their hoes, returned home one after another.
……
The next day, early morning.
As the morning light appeared, An Yue and Chun Zhi got up early, washed up, and started to prepare breakfast.
Soon, breakfast was ready and the three of them sat around the octagonal table to have breakfast.
After breakfast, An Yue carried the new backpack and An Nian carried the cloth bag, and the brother and sister prepared to walk out of the yard gate.
After An Yue walked out of the courtyard gate, she turned back and told Chunzhi, "Chunzhi, I'll leave the house to you. If you feel tired, take a nap during the lunch break!"
"Well, Chunzhi knows, don't worry, Miss!"
Then, the brother and sister walked towards the main road.
As soon as we reached the main road, Li Wu's ox cart came from the west end of the village.
The brother and sister got on Li Wu's ox cart.
Soon, the ox cart arrived at the entrance of the town and the brother and sister got off the cart.
An Nian smiled and waved to An Yue, then left for the school at the west entrance of the town.
Anyue had to carry a backpack and change to a mule cart to reach the county town.
After a while, An Yue got on the mule cart.
……
It was already noon when we arrived at the county town.
An Yue thought it was still early, so she went to ask the various rouge shops to see if they accepted floral water and honey.
If you buy it from a shop, the price is good and you don’t have to set up a stall to sell it.
An Yue walked into a rouge shop, and the shop assistant came up to her enthusiastically: "Miss, what do you need to buy? We have a wide variety of rouge here!"
An Yue smiled and explained her purpose to the waiter.
After hearing this, the waiter looked embarrassed and waved his hand, saying, "Floral water and honey? We don't accept them here... Or, you should ask somewhere else!"
An Yue was a little disappointed, but still thanked the waiter and turned to leave.
Then we went to the next one.
……
I went to several rouge shops in a row, and the answer I got was always - they didn't buy.
An Yue had been planning for this moment for many days in advance, but she didn't expect that after traveling all the way to the county town, she would be ruthlessly rejected by every shop.
Suddenly, her mood became heavy.
She asked herself in her heart: [Is it really true that I can only sell it on the street? 】
Just as she was looking down in distress, she suddenly saw a shop called "Fragrant Pavilion" not far ahead.
There seemed to be a sign hanging at the door of the store. An Yue picked up the backpack again and walked towards Xiangxiang Pavilion.
When I took a closer look, I saw the words "Purchasing all kinds of spices" clearly written on it.
An Yue's mind moved. Maybe this store would sell toilet water and honey?
She walked into the shop, ready to give it a try.
As An Yue entered the shop, a rich fragrance hit her nose.
The store is filled with various bottles and jars containing a variety of spices.
She walked to the counter and saw a middle-aged woman busying herself with her head down.
An Yue asked softly, "Madam, do you buy floral water and honey here?"
The woman raised her head and looked at An Yue kindly: "The honey is of course purchased."
An Yue asked: "What about the floral water?"
When the woman heard the word "floral water", she frowned slightly and asked suspiciously, "What is floral water?"
An Yue gently placed the backpack on the ground and bent down to take the bottle of floral water from the backpack.
From her expression, one could tell that the woman had never heard of such a thing as "floral water" before.
When the woman saw An Yue put down the backpack, she couldn't help but look at it curiously.
An Yue took out a can of toilet water from her backpack and placed it gently on the counter.
The woman picked up the jar, examined it carefully, and asked leisurely, "Is this made by the girl?"
An Yue smiled and nodded.
The woman put her nose close to it and sniffed it, then continued, "Girl, please tell me first, what magical uses does your floral water have?"
"Floral water can prevent..." An Yue explained the effects and uses of floral water to the woman one by one.
The woman nodded and said, "It smells good. However, its specific effects are still unknown."
An Yue heard the woman's evaluation of the floral water was good. She turned her eyes and smiled at the woman, "Madam, how about this, do you think it's okay?"
The woman listened to An Yue with great interest.
"This bottle of toilet water in your hand is a gift from me to you. Please try it first."
An Yue took out ten bottles of toilet water from her backpack and placed them on the counter.
Then he said, "But these ten bottles of toilet water will be placed on the shelf of your shop for sale. I will come to you in five days to pick up the goods. If they are sold, we will split the profits 50-50. What do you think, madam?"
The woman squinted her eyes, thinking quickly, and asked, "What if not a single can is sold?"
"If none of the jars are sold, I will use this jar of honey as compensation, and I will also buy back the ten jars of floral water from you at the original price of fifty coins per jar."
After An Yue finished speaking, she took out a small jar of honey from her backpack and handed it to the woman.
The woman looked at herself and saw a jar of toilet water in her left hand and a jar of honey in her right hand. She didn't have to pay a penny and was a little confused.
Seeing the woman's hesitant attitude, An Yue said to herself:
