"Eleven, little eleven! Come out and get me some crispy mountains! More cream, more sugar, more raisins! No apples, hurry! ”

In the study, Xiao Shiyi, who had memorized a whole book, was holding his head outside the object, and suddenly, Xiao Ai's sharp voice broke in from the window.

Scratching his head in annoyance, Xiao Shiyi raised his head and shouted out of the window with a painful face: "Sister Xiao Ai, everyone else in Sushan can do it, why do you keep letting me do it?" ”

Xiao Aixiao's eyebrows and eyes were squeezed together, half of her body was lying on the windowsill, and she put her head into the study and said to Xiao Shiyi proudly: "Because what you make is delicious!" Less nonsense, hurry up and do it, Miss is still waiting to eat! ”

Xiao Shiyi knows Xiao Ai's temper, if he doesn't do it today, then this annoying girl will definitely not leave.

So he could only stand up helplessly, and muttered as he walked outside the house: "What young lady likes to eat?" Your young lady has a cold stomach, so she can't eat much cold food! Every time you make a crispy mountain, don't you eat more than half of it in the end? ”

Xiao Ai, who was outside the window, overheard Xiao Shiyi's muttering, and his originally smiling face immediately pulled down!

Embroidered eyebrows upside down, clenching small fists, finally waiting for Xiao Shiyi to rub out of the study, Xiao Ai immediately rushed up with an arrow, and one hand was accurately screwed on Xiao Shiyi's ear!

"Little one, what did you just say? Have the ability to say it again! ”

Before Xiao Shiyi could react, he felt a sharp pain in his ears, and then his two ears followed the fire, and he screamed in pain: "Oops, oops!" Hurt! Sister Ai, let go, I don't dare......"

Xiao Ai continued to twist his ears and sneered, "Don't dare? Hum! My young lady said that those who dare not shout will dare to do it again next time! ”

Xiao Shiyi was also in a mess now, just begging that his ears could be rescued soon, and when he heard this, he immediately shouted in a panic, "...... Sister Ai, I dare, dare or not? ”

Hearing this, Xiao Aile's mouth couldn't close, and he grabbed Xiao Shiyi's ears and walked out, saying as he walked: "Hmph, I said it right, I really dare!" Let's go, I'll teach you a lesson today! ”

"Hey, tap, you let go first, I'll go with you......"

"No, what if you run away?"

"I won't run ......"

"Humph! That's what you said last time! ”

In the courtyard of the 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 Steward Lu happily looked at the figures of the two in the distance.

"The appearance of unrestrained children is really enviable..."

sighed from the bottom of his heart, Steward Lu seemed to remember when he was young, and a little smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Memories of youth are generally good.

It's just that this kind of beauty is only precious if it exists in memory, and it can be taken out occasionally to remember, and you can't indulge in it.

After all. After all, people still have to live in the moment.

After thinking about it for a while, Steward Lu let out a long breath, and his originally confused eyes gradually became brighter.

Turning his head to look at Xiao Da, who was silent beside him, Steward Lu sighed and said, "You, you're not much older than them!" Why do you keep a straight face every day, look like an old man, and don't have the vitality of a young man? ”

When Xiao Da heard this, he barely squeezed out a smile, and arched his hand to Steward Lu: "Mr. Lu doesn't seem to be old this year, and he still calls himself an old man?" ”

"Oh? Hahahaha~ You will defeat me! ”

Steward Lu didn't expect that he would be asked by Xiao Da, but he was not annoyed, but touched his beard proudly and said:

"The old man is different from you, he stands at thirty, he is not confused at forty, and the old man is not confused! And you, now is the time of youth and frivolity, why should you not be dull. ”

Xiao Da shook his head and smiled at Steward Lu: "Mr. Lu doesn't have to worry about the kid, the kid is very good now!" Hou Ye is now tired of running around for the family business, and his younger siblings have not grown up! It would be ridiculous if the kid didn't live without a heart and lungs. ”

"It's rare that you have this heart, Master Hou didn't take care of you in vain!"

Steward Lu was very satisfied with Xiao Da, reached out and patted Xiao Da on the shoulder and said with a smile: "That's it, a person has a way of living, since you like it, then I won't talk much!" What do you think? Is the thing that Hou Ye wanted ready a while ago? ”

When Xiao Da heard Steward Lu suddenly ask about this, his face couldn't help but become serious, and he nodded and said, "It's all ready, but in order to prepare these things, our family has bought almost all the saltpeter in Chang'an!" Nowadays, many people are wondering, what do we do with so much saltpeter, I don't think it's good! ”

Hearing this, Steward Lu frowned and thought for a while, and then nodded slowly and said, "Also, saltpeter is rarely used in Chang'an, only some nitrate workshops use it."

Nowadays, it is inevitable that we will suddenly make a large number of acquisitions, attracting the attention of others, and we must find a way to solve this matter as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to guarantee that it will not spoil the big thing of Hou Ye in the future! ”

Xiao Da nodded and pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "Mr. Lu, I actually have an idea. ”

"Oh? What's the idea? Steward Lu looked up at Xiao Da and asked.

Xiao Da looked left and right at no one, approached Steward Lu's side and lowered his voice: "Now, the outside are speculating about what we are going to do with saltpeter!" In my opinion, instead of hiding and tucking, it is better to push the boat with the current, and give them a reasonable explanation! In this way, they think they have got the answer to the matter, and naturally they will not stare at this piece anymore! ”

Steward Lu was a little surprised, looked at Xiao Da and asked, "You mean ......?"

Xiao Da nodded heavily and said to Steward Lu: "That's right! I'm talking about the secret recipe for ice making!

We just need to spread this secret recipe, and it will be possible for some people to be inquisitive! Second, it can also make saltpeter more useful, so that more and better saltpeter can be transported by merchants! Prepare for our use of saltpeter in the future!

I remember that Hou Ye once said that in the future, this world will be the best world, so the more saltpeter, the better the quality, the more beneficial it is for us!

With his mouth wide open, Steward Lu looked at Xiao Da who was talking eloquently in front of him without blinking.

At this moment, Steward Lu suddenly felt that this child, who was almost growing up by himself, became extremely strange in an instant!

You must know that the ice-making industry was originally a way to make money in the Xiao family's plan.

It is conceivable that after this industry is put into operation, it will definitely bring huge profits to the Xiao family!

But now, in order to cover for **, it has not even started to be implemented, and it is about to be pushed out by Xiao Da without hesitation.

This decisiveness should never be what a teenager should have!

"This ...... This matter is too big, the old man can't be the master, and he needs the Hou Ye to make a decision! ”

After thinking about it for a long time, Steward Lu lost his youthful spirit after all, and he couldn't make up his mind between how to choose, so he had to put it back for the time being, and wait for Xiao Han to deal with this matter.

Of course, Xiao Da didn't feel any surprise about this result.

Anyway, the ** that Hou Ye needs has been made, so the demand for saltpeter will be reduced immediately, and the inventory alone is enough for him to do experiments during this time.
