Chapter 6 Does the Shen family have Jinhua ham?
Walking on the way home to withdraw money, Shen Xiuer always had a cold face and didn't want to say a word - because she was afraid that she would be angry to death if she said something more to He Jin!
After finally returning to her familiar doorstep, she breathed a little relieved.
But then, she was a little confused again: no matter how angry she was, He Jin was her life-saving benefactor after all... It would be too rude to not invite the benefactor in to have a cup of tea when she arrived at home.
However, the current situation of the Shen family was really not in the mood to let her get another extra guy who was extremely annoying.
So, Shen Xiu'er, who was parked in front of the door, couldn't help but look back at He Jin in complicated manner, thinking about how to explain so that He Jin would not mind.
However, just when she was in a dilemma, He Jin looked at the door plaque of the 'He Mansion' and suddenly changed his expression: "Ms. Chen, you are the richest business in Cizhou, and that Shen Xiuer, known as the "who is a 'business woman'?"
Shen Xiu'er was shocked: You just realized it? No, what's your look... Could it be that seeing the wealthy Shen family, you want to change your mind and add money?
At this moment, Shen Xiuer's heart couldn't help but mention: Because she felt that the shameless He Jin could do this!
Unexpectedly, He Jin then said in a daze: "The Shen family's business is very big, right? Yashang, restaurant, food trade, silk, and currency from north to south, there are all kinds of things, right? ... Then there must be the best Jinhua ham, right?"
"Can Miss Chen give me only one hundred and ninety-nine taels? I want to buy a good Jinhua ham meat..."
"Jinhua... ham... meat?" Shen Xiu'er was completely shocked and didn't know how to express her emotions correctly: You, what do you care about!
What does Jinhua ham have to do with life-saving grace?
No, you originally wanted to buy a Jinhua ham, but you pretended to be stupid and cheated money on the street... Now that I think of our Shen family, I don’t have to run errands to buy it myself!
I, my dignified young lady of the Shen family, is the servant who runs errands to buy Jinhua ham for you?
Shen Xiu'er, who figured out all this, was furious and angry and couldn't help but want to roar.
But for some reason, the anger in the end turned into a relieved smile: because, she found that she didn't have to worry about asking He Jin to come in.
Because...this guy doesn't care at all!
What he had in his heart was the 200 taels of silver and the damn Jinhua ham!...
So Shen Xiu'er's expression was calm, without any sorrow or joy, and said calmly like a monk who had entered into meditation: "Young master only needs something, and the little girl will agree with everything. I'll ask you to wait here for a moment, and the little girl will come when you go."
Sure enough, He Jin nodded immediately with satisfaction and did not make any request to sit at home.
After about one stick of incense, He Jin saw Xiao Yue'er carrying a huge oil paper bag before he could talk to the old man in the Shen family's doorman.
"Where is your lady?" He Jin, who naturally checked it, asked.
Seeing that He Jin not only took apart the greased paper, he also tore a small piece and tasted it carefully. Even the cute Xiao Yueer understood why the lady was beaten to death and was reluctant to come out.
She couldn't help but cover her forehead cutely and said helplessly: "Young Master, this is definitely the best Jinhua ham meat, much better than the ones on the market."
"It was the lady who asked Yue'er to take it from the kitchen, for fear that you would be dissatisfied. Unexpectedly, you still..."
He Jin felt a little embarrassed now and couldn't help but smile embarrassedly.
Xiao Yue'er didn't say anything afterwards, took out two more silver notes and said, "Young Master, this is two hundred taels of silver notes, you have to collect it."
After learning a lesson, He Jin stopped checking the silver notes in front of Xiaoyue'er. After putting them in his arms, he turned around and waved his hand and said, "Okay, we have both good fortune and good fortune, we will meet again."
After saying that, he walked towards the distance.
But not long after he left, he turned into a quiet alley, took out a silver note from his arms, and looked carefully at the sunshine after the snow: Well, he rode the sewing pattern, endorsing the ticket number, secretly custodial, and redeem the ticket as soon as he saw it. There is no shortage of what he should have...
I originally wanted to earn a tael of silver to buy a piece of Jinhua ham. I didn’t expect that I would gain a lot today... This feeling of fulfillment is so happy!
However, as soon as he left the alley, the happy smile on his face suddenly froze: because he suddenly saw Xiao Yue'er, who was sneaking at him!
One of them was embarrassed and the other was guilty, and the atmosphere suddenly became very awkward. Fortunately, He Jin was relatively active and reacted in the next moment: "Are you following me?"
Xiao Yue'er quickly shook her hands and explained hurriedly: "No, no, it's not the lady who asked me to follow you..."
Now, He Jin was completely speechless: Silly girl, you are too unsuitable to be a spy.
However, he was also very surprised: "The matter between us has been cleared, why did your lady ask you to follow me?"
"Yue'er doesn't know..." The advantage of being alone is that he doesn't have much defense against anyone. After He Jin asked this, Yue'er said truthfully: "After returning to the room, the lady drank two cups of herbal tea first. Well, no, it's three cups..."
"Then, the lady asked Yue'er to get the silver notes and ham. But when Yue'er was about to deliver it to the young master, the lady said something very strange."
"What a strange way?"
Like the endorsement, Xiao Yue'er replied crisply: "Although He Jin is greedy, cunning, rude and weird. He is not crazy, has a clever mind, and especially has a very good rule for doing things. Yue'er, follow carefully and see what he is going to do with this Jinhua ham..."
"Oh..." He Jin nodded in a clear way, and understood: curiosity killed the cat.
But thinking that he still owed Shen Xiu'er a tael of silver and that what he wanted to do was nothing big, he said, "Then you just follow me openly. I'll take you to play for a while, so that the traffickers can kidnap you away again."
When he heard that he could play with He Jin, Yue'er immediately smiled like a crescent-shaped big eyes, and took the initiative to stretch out her hand and let He Jin take it and leave.
Along the way, she followed He Jin to some shops and saw that He Jin bought some ordinary gifts. Most of them were specialties from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, especially for a large price of two taels of silver to buy a jar of Shaoxing Daughter Red.
Then, He Jin took her to a family in Yaqian Street.
The house couldn't see anything from the outside, but it was crowded with people. Many people were carrying large bags of gifts, which seemed to be here to give gifts.
Xiao Yue'er obviously recognized this family and couldn't help but say, "Young Master, you have worked hard to cheat money, is it just to give gifts to Mr. Chen?"
"Well..." He Jin nodded and said, "My father died two months ago, and his family had no pillars. My top priority is to find an errand. I have thought about all the errands in the Ming Dynasty and think it is more promising to eat the civil servants."
Xiao Yue'er seemed to understand, but looking at so many people in front of the door, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed: "But there are so many people in front, can the young master enter Master Chen's house?"
He Jin smiled slightly and said, "According to their stupid method, of course I can't get in. Fortunately, I have made enough preparations in six days."
As he said that, he pulled Xiao Yue'er into a teahouse opposite Mr. Chen's house.
After ordering some desserts, he drank tea and kneaded melon seeds: "Those stupid gift-giving people only choose when they have time, but they don't know when Master Chen has time."
"And I have already figured out Mr. Chen's rules. After Shen Shi and the gift givers have left, Mr. Chen will come back..."
Xiao Yue'er had osmanthus cake stuffed in her mouth, cutely like a hamster: "Young Master, you are so awesome!"
Faced with such a cute girl, He Jin couldn't help but talk too much and continued: "And, you have to give gifts to your preferences. I have worked hard to cheat money... Bah, is it to raise money, or isn't it for this Jinhua ham?"
"Oh, oh..." Xiao Yue'er listened casually. She would nod her head frequently, probably nodding no matter what He Jin said.
He Jin didn't care, but continued: "Sir Chen is not arrogant and doesn't want to have too many favors. However, he is a gourmet when it comes to food and pays great attention to it."
"He is from Jinhua. What he misses after coming to Cizhou is this bite of Jinhua ham meat..."
After hearing the topic of eating, Xiao Yue'er became interested: "Young Master, I understand that those people give famous Cizhou food, which is not in line with Master Chen's appetite. But the young master specially brought Jinhua ham, which is... Well, it's hard to buy a favor for a thousand gold!"
"Yes, that's what it means." He Jin couldn't help laughing and was in a good mood.
