Female-male sex: Salted fish forced to rise to prominence
Chapter 53: Digging Limestone in the Back Mountain
Everyone followed Chen Luochu and went around to the back of the house. They saw a dense and lush bamboo forest behind the house, but there was a winding path that had been trampled flat by everyone, leading directly to the dense back mountain.
Following the path forward, the group walked for about a cup of tea and arrived at a cliff. Chen Luochu pointed at the cliff and said: "This is it."
Su Yu looked in the direction of his finger at the cliff, and could vaguely see some exposed white stones between the stone walls on the cliff.
He raised his foot and ran towards the stone. He picked up a piece that fell on the ground and looked at it carefully. The color of the stone was grayish white. He touched it and found that the texture was moderately soft and hard, not particularly hard. This was indeed the limestone he was looking for.
Su Yu was so excited that he finally found her.
He said to Chen Luochu happily, "Brother Chen, this is the limestone I'm looking for." As he spoke, he raised the stone in his hand.
Although Chen Luochu didn't know what Su Yu was going to do with the grayish-white stone, it didn't stop him from being happy that Su Yu had found what he wanted.
He thought that as long as Brother Su needed it, he would help him dig.
So they divided the work, Xie An and Chen Luochu were responsible for digging stones, Su Yu was responsible for shoveling and loading, and Xie Nanxing helped to hold the bamboo basket.
They didn't stop until all three bamboo baskets were full.
So the three men each carried a heavy bamboo basket filled with stones, and Xie An and Chen Luochu each carried a hoe. Su Yu wanted to take a shovel, but Xie Nanxing insisted on helping him and took the lightest shovel.
The few of them followed the same route they had taken and successfully got out of the dangerous mountain together. According to Chen Luochu's introduction, this mountain is called Menghu Mountain. There are ferocious beasts in the depths of the mountain. The people in their village only dared to move around on the periphery and did not dare to go in easily.
When they went there, the bamboo baskets were empty, and the group only walked for a cup of tea. When they came back, they were carrying heavy stones and walking downhill. Because they were afraid of falling, the four of them walked very slowly. By the time they got out of the mountain and reached the back house, two cups of tea had passed.
The three men carried bamboo baskets on their backs and walked towards the carriage. Then they unloaded the heavy bamboo baskets from each other and put the baskets full of limestone onto the carriage together.
Su Yu said to Chen Luochu again: "Brother Chen, I would like to cut some bamboo and pick some bamboo leaves. Is it convenient for you?"
Chen Luochu said with a smile: "It's a small matter, I'll go downstairs and get an axe."
Xie An, Su Yu, and the others helped put the shovels and hoes into the utility room. Then they took out three axes, two of which were a bit rusty, and it was obvious that they had not been used for a long time.
The three young boys chopped down three bundles before stopping. Xie Nanxing, who was beside them, was picking bamboo leaves. She only stopped after she had collected a large sack. In just a few moments, the previously lush bamboo forest had become as bald as a cat, a slightly awkward sight.
The picking mission was successfully completed and everything was almost ready. Let’s talk about the pearls another day, there’s no rush for that. The first priority is to make the baking soda.
Su Yu looked at Chen Luochu who was constantly busying around, with sweat dripping from his forehead like water, wetting the clothes around his neck.
He sincerely bowed to the young man and thanked him: "Thank you very much for your help today, Brother Chen, otherwise I would not have found what I was looking for so easily."
As he spoke, he quietly put one of his fat hands behind his back and raised two fingers to Xie An.
Xie An, whose attention was always on his master, understood what his master meant. He took out two taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to Su Yuhou.
Su Yu immediately stuffed the silver into Chen Luochu's hand. As he stuffed the silver into his hand, he said with a smile, "This is the hard work fee for Brother Chen. I'm sorry for wasting your time today."
Chen Luochu refused to accept it no matter what, and the two of them couldn't refuse, so they went back and forth.
Finally, Xie An couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Brother Chen, please accept it quickly. Otherwise, it will be dark now and you will still be refusing. We have important things to do and can't delay any longer.
If someone else said this, not many people would believe it. But if Xie An said it expressionlessly, others would not dare to refute him. He just had this kind of magic.
Xie Nanxing next to him also said: "Yes, Mr. Chen, maybe we will have to ask you to dig this stone in the future. If you don't accept it, we will be embarrassed to come next time."
After hearing this, Chen Luochu could only accept the silver with a look of helplessness. But he said: "Master Su, next time you come, don't mention gifts or give me silver. I haven't thanked you enough for your kindness last time!!!"
Su Yu agreed verbally, but thought in his heart, how can this be possible? The next time we meet, maybe they will be mining limestone on a large scale. How can he not pay me? Who will do the work for him?
But all this is based on the premise that he makes the baking soda first.
Then Su Yu and the other two went in and said goodbye to the old lady. Finally, Chen Luochu and his grandson saw them off to the door. With the two men looking reluctant to leave, Su Yu and his group drove away from the village in a carriage.
Until the carriage disappeared...
Chen Luochu then withdrew his gaze. His benefactor was a man of high moral character. He could accurately judge who the thief was and discovered the thief in time, but he was unwilling to take advantage of others and insisted on giving him money.
Chen Luochu handed the silver in his hand to his grandmother. His grandmother looked puzzled and asked, "Where did this silver come from?"
Chen Luochu said: "Mr. Su said it was the hard work fee for helping to dig limestone today."
The old lady looked unhappy and said, "How could you accept money from your best friend? He just helped dig the stone. You kept it for yourself and you must return it to Mr. Su next time. What a good child."
Then Chen Luochu was innocently punished by his grandmother to stand against the wall for an hour, and listened to his grandmother muttering about how good, kind, and polite Mr. Su was, and her words were full of love for Su Yu.
Chen Luochu felt that what his grandmother said made sense, but perhaps his grandmother had forgotten that he was her biological grandson.
Then the old lady seemed to remember something and went to the kitchen counter to take out the two bags of oil paper bags that Su Yu had sent.
I carefully placed it on the wooden table, carefully untied the knotted drawstring, and unfolded it to see that it contained two bags of precious brown sugar.
This kid is so honest and generous that he actually gave me two bags of such precious brown sugar. This brown sugar costs at least three hundred coins per catty. These two bags weigh two catties, which is six hundred coins.
She couldn't help but be secretly shocked. She hadn't tasted brown sugar since her husband passed away early.
She raised her son alone and was looking forward to him getting married and having children, but her son was forcibly conscripted to the battlefield and never came back. No one knew whether he was alive or dead. Her daughter-in-law was also taken away by her parents' home and she had not returned to see Chu'er for more than ten years.
Thinking of this, she stretched out her fingers, tremblingly pinched a few dark red candies, and put them in her mouth. "Sweet, sweet to the heart," she said, feeling relieved that her grandson had made such a good friend.
She looked at her grandson who was standing obediently at the wall, her face full of heartache. This child had been like this since he was young, sensible, obedient and well-behaved, and filial. He never said a word against what she said and always did what she said honestly. He was so well-behaved that it made people feel distressed.
