Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine
Chapter 100: Just some local specialties
The middle-aged man's voice is full of charm and his appearance is particularly elegant.
If it were in the 21st century, who would have thought that such a person would have a child of sixteen or seventeen years old.
Qian Yuan cried with tears and snot, and the snot directly went onto the middle-aged man's clothes.
How could one tell that this young man was the one who had fought and tangled with those two highly skilled men in black for so long?
"You little bastard, this is my new dress, it costs a lot of money.
Oh my! Really, I haven't seen you for just a few days, how come you are so sloppy? "
The middle-aged man was still maintaining his elegance, but Qian Yuan suddenly disrupted his thoughts.
Xia Shengsheng suddenly felt that this pair of funny guys were really father and son. Even their personalities were the same: they appeared one way on the surface but were another in their hearts.
Qian Yuan seemed to have just noticed so many people surrounding him.
In addition to Xia Shengsheng's family, there were also several carriages brought by his father, as well as seven or eight servants, and at the back there were twenty or thirty villagers who came to watch the fun.
In this situation, he still did such a shameful thing. He was too ashamed to face anyone.
But the important things are not over yet.
He wiped the snot and tears from his face and pretended nothing had happened.
Seriously introduce Xia Shengsheng to his father.
"Dad, this Madam Xia is my savior, and these others are Madam Xia's children."
"Auntie, this is my father. Thank you for saving my life and taking care of me for so many days. Please accept my greetings!"
The middle-aged man also cupped his hands and bowed 90 degrees to sincerely thank Xia Shengsheng.
"Thank you Madam Xia for saving my son. I have no way to repay you for your kindness, but if you need me, Tao Wuji, in the future, please let me know. I will definitely go through fire and water for you."
Siyuan? Tao Wuji? Father and son?
It seems that the boy’s real name is Tao Siyuan, not Qian Yuan.
"Tao? Master Tao, you are too polite. I have never thought of asking for anything in return. Since you and your son are reunited, it can be considered a great achievement. What do you think?"
Xia Shengsheng wanted to ask, when could they leave?
However, Mr. Tao had misunderstood. Xia Shengsheng was asking whether the incident had been properly resolved.
“Don’t worry, Madam Xia. Everything at home has been properly arranged. I promise that nothing will go wrong again. In the future, I will never cause any trouble for Madam Xia.”
The villagers stood behind and talked about it.
"What do you mean, who did Xiao Xia save?"
"Haven't you figured it out? The one who was saved was that child called Yuan. But how was he saved? I didn't see that child walking around in the village before?"
"How they rescued him has nothing to do with us. Why do you care how they rescued him?"
"That's right. Mr. Tao must be very rich. If you save his son, he must have brought a lot of gifts to thank you, right?"
"Shh! Stop making noise and listen to what they are saying..."
This is how it is in the village, if there is something going on, most people will come to watch the fun.
Xia Shengsheng and Tao Wuji had already exchanged greetings for several rounds.
Even Sicheng had finished his meal in the house and came out to watch the fun.
"By the way, Madam Xia, I brought some thank-you gifts with me this time. They are not worth much, but I hope Madam Xia will not refuse them.
Liu Er, take the things down!"
Xia Shengsheng was about to stop them when she saw the seven or eight servants led by Tao Wuji carrying boxes left and right from the carriage. A total of more than ten boxes of things were taken down.
Xia Shengsheng's jaw dropped in shock.
Judging from his generosity, it must be more than ten boxes of silver, right?
How much does this cost?
I wanted to refuse, but now! The thought of refusing suddenly weighed on my heart, and I couldn't say it out loud.
The villagers standing outside were equally shocked.
They all thought that the box was filled with silver.
Tao Wuji seemed not to understand what everyone was thinking.
With a wave of his hand, he asked the servants to open all the boxes.
When everyone saw clearly what was in the box.
They all sighed.
Xia Shengsheng was just looking excitedly, waiting to see what the box full of gold and silver looked like.
After seeing things clearly, he shook his head in self-mockery, having been excited for a long time in vain.
"Don't mind, Madam Xia. These are some local specialties from the south. I brought them back specially when I was doing business outside."
Tao Wuji pointed to a box of lush green vegetables and said, "This vegetable is water spinach. We don't have it in the north. It tastes especially good when stir-fried."
Then he introduced the boxes at the back one by one.
"And this is dried radish from Xiaoshan. This is a sugar orange, which is different from the oranges in the north. This kind of orange is particularly sweet, and the flesh is also delicious..."
Tao Wuji introduced for a long time, and found that the dozen or so boxes were all filled with food and nothing else.
This made the villagers, who were originally a little envious and jealous, lose even the mood to watch the fun.
They all dispersed, and as they walked home, they kept muttering, "I thought it was something valuable, and it was packed in such a nice box. I guess these things are not as valuable as the box."
"Don't say that. I see there's some bacon in there! It's pretty good stuff. If it were a gift from a farmer like us, it would be really high-end if we could give meat as a gift."
"You also said that we are a peasant family. Just look at the way Mr. Tao is dressed, and you can tell that he is from a wealthy family. For such a rich man, why would he give a gift other than gold and silver? And also for saving my life?"
"Stop talking, don't let them hear it, it will be hard to explain to you when we meet again, let's go!"
Tao Wuji saw that all the villagers outside had dispersed.
Then he said to Xia Shengsheng somewhat embarrassedly.
"Madam Xia! Wouldn't you like us to go in and talk?"
Seeing that Tao Wuji had said so, Xia Shengsheng felt it was difficult to just chase him away since he had brought gifts with him.
So he invited Tao Wuji and the group of people behind him into the yard.
After closing the gate, Tao Siyuan complained, "Dad, what did you bring? Madam Xia saved my life, and you only gave me these things. How can I put my face aside?"
There were so many people around just now that Tao Siyuan was embarrassed to say it out loud. Now that there was no one around, he dared to question his father.
His father wasn't such a stingy person before.
Did we spend too much money on those killers this time?
Tao Wuji looked around mysteriously before asking his servants to remove the top layer of things from all the boxes.
Suddenly, there were piles of silver inside, including a box of gold.
Xia Shengsheng was extremely surprised. It was also the first time for the children to see so much gold and silver. They all opened their mouths wide, not knowing what to say.
Only Ye Chao, still standing behind Xia Shengsheng with no expression as usual.
"Mr. Tao? What about you?" Xia Shengsheng asked.
Tao Wuji seemed to be afraid that there were ears on the other side of the wall, so he lowered his voice and whispered, "I'm sorry to make you laugh, Madam Xia. Madam Xia saved my son's life, so you are the most important person in my Tao family. If it's a thank-you gift, how could you just bring back some simple local specialties?
Knowing that Madam Xia lived in the village with many people and eyes, the specialties above were just to deceive people, and the gold, silver and jewelry below were the real thank-you gifts.
Please accept it, Madam Xia!"
