Three points are destined, seven points depend on face

"You, a well-dressed young lady, will probably not be able to live the life of our rural people, so don't force it. If you are worried that the merchants I am looking for are not safe, then I will take you to report to the official, and you will tell me your identity." Tell me, the men will be willing to take you back to the capital."

Yuan Yuliu looked at Xia Chuntao's indifferent face and was disappointed, "How can the young master be so cruel? How can he be so careless about Yuliu's life and death?"

Xia Chuntao sneered: "If I didn't care about your life or death, I shouldn't have saved you. Otherwise, why don't you walk around on the street now to see if the trafficker who abducted you is still there?"

Yuan Yuliu immediately suppressed his anger and did not dare to say anything.

Just kidding, if you go out at this time, you are throwing yourself into a trap!

"I will leave early tomorrow morning. If you need me to help you find a car to the capital, I will make a decision within an hour. We will not wait until the deadline."

After that, Xia Chuntao went downstairs, ordered some of her favorite side dishes, a pot of wine, and started eating and drinking deliciously.

No matter what happens, you should eat and drink.

When you feel uncomfortable in the first place, you still have to make your stomach feel uncomfortable and use other people's problems to make yourself feel uncomfortable. Are you stupid?

This kind of thing, do you think it’s bad? It must be terrible.

But you said you wouldn’t care about anything like this? Still gotta take care of it.

This is just like in modern times, a few years ago, there were often incidents of helping an old man who fell down, but he was hit by a porcelain. Even after this happened several times, no one dared to help an old man who fell down on the road.

What's wrong with saving people?

It’s just that the person being rescued may not have a conscience.

However, Xia Chuntao still believes that no matter what era, there are still many people with conscience. It has been almost half a year since she came to Dai Viet. From having nothing to now having her own home, her own workshop, and her own shop, she has received help from too many people.

They helped her, and she repaid them with her heart.

People's hearts change people's hearts, this is the human world, and this is true in any era.

A person with a selfish and dark heart will never receive sincere treatment from others throughout his life. How he treats others will be treated by others.

Therefore, there is no need to lose your own principles of life because of such people.

When he was full of wine and food, Yuan Yuliu also made his final decision.

As Xia Chuntao expected, she still chose to return to the capital.

But no, how many people are willing to go to the ravines to farm land, cut firewood, wash and cook, after living a life of fine clothes and fine food, and calling for slaves and maids?

It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. This is a wise saying.

Xia Chuntao immediately found Lao Yang and asked a familiar merchant to send Yuan Yuliu to Changshan Bofu in the capital.

Before leaving, this girl Yuan didn't even say goodbye, and put on a stinky face as if Xia Chuntao owed her a hundred and eighty thousand taels. Xia Chuntao didn't care and paid all the tolls, food and lodging along the way.

She specifically told the merchant, "This girl was abducted here. She bumped into me and begged me to save her. I saved her. I have nothing to do with her. I just drew my sword to help when there was injustice. You went to the uncle's house." That’s it. Oh, by the way, remember to ask the uncle’s house for travel expenses.”

After saying that, he approached the merchant and whispered: "You can take the travel expenses yourself. You don't need to give them to me. That's your hard-earned money."

Xia Chuntao just wanted to antagonize Yuan Yuliu. I am not a saint. I saved people and still complained, and you still expect me to be generous and careless. Just dream!

Yuan Yuliu heard Xia Chuntao's words on the carriage, and his hands shook with anger. How could there be such a bad man in the world? Not even willing to pay any travel expenses! It’s just that you don’t show mercy to others, but you go around ruining other people’s reputations!

Xia Chuntao said this without any burden on her heart. If I don’t sever the relationship quickly and let you talk nonsense in front of your family, I won’t be the one who will be unlucky later?

The incident passed so quietly. Xia Chuntao didn't take it seriously, it wasn't worth mentioning in the first place.

Of course, someone still learned what happened from the guard.

This matter, in Ling Qingxuan's opinion, was quite unexpected.

In his impression, although Xia Chuntao was a businessman, he didn't look like one. She has a bit of a chivalrous spirit in her heart, she doesn't care much about gains and losses, and doesn't care about rewards. You can tell by seeing how she went to Xiaoxi Village to ask for an explanation from her eldest sister regardless of her past grudges, and how she adopted two children.

She didn't expect that this rescue matter would be solved so quickly in this way.

Ling Qingxuan cursed in his heart: It is said that "foolish people are blessed by fools". In fact, "foolish people" may not necessarily be really stupid. She just knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

……

Laba has arrived.

In Dai Viet, Laba is a very important day.

A long time ago, the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month was a sacrificial festival. In order to have good weather and a good harvest in the coming year, the people had to carry out a series of sacrificial activities.

Later, Buddhism was introduced to the Central Plains. It is said that the Buddha Sakyamuni became enlightened and became a Buddha on the day of Laba. Therefore, Laba is also called the "Dharma Treasure Festival".

No matter what, on this day, every family has to make Laba porridge and Laba garlic.

Xia Chuntao gave each worker in the workshop five kilograms of glutinous rice, three kilograms of various beans, and two kilograms of sugar. I also gave everyone a day off.

The workers were delighted.

When recruiting workers before, Xia Chuntao said that important festivals have special gifts. Everyone thinks that this "important festival" should be the Chinese New Year.

Unexpectedly, there are so many things to be found in Laba, which is an unexpected surprise!

The workers went home carrying heavy boxing gifts, and the family was all thankful to have found a good boss.

There is never any delay in paying wages, and there are such generous gifts.

For such a good job, you must work hard and keep doing it for a long time!

Xia Chuntao took the children to make Laba porridge. Today I’m going to make both sweet and salty flavors.

Rice, millet, barley, glutinous rice, red beans, mung beans, red dates, lotus seeds, peanuts...

The children gathered together, peeling peanuts, washing rice and beans.

Xia Chuntao prepared diced mushrooms, chicken, bacon, and taro to make salty porridge.

The two pots started boiling at the same time, and it took about an hour. The kitchen is filled with the strong aroma of rice, beans and meat.

Taking advantage of this time, Xia Chuntao made a few more dishes: spicy and sour shredded potatoes, scrambled eggs with fungus, pickled cabbage, vermicelli and meat, and made a few pancakes in the big stove.

Alai swallowed hard at the smell, "Mom, is the porridge ready?"

Xia Chuntao also walked around and felt that it was almost done. She gave everyone a bowl of salty and sweet porridge, and placed the cake in the middle. Whoever wanted to eat could take it.

Xia Chuntao told Anzi to take good care of her younger siblings at home and left the house carrying two food boxes.

She had to deliver the porridge to the Ling Mansion while it was still hot, one for Mr. Yan and the other for the beautiful prince.

Although it is not a rare thing, it is still my own intention!

Mr. Yan happily accepted the food box and opened it to taste.

"Ms. Xia, this porridge is well cooked! It's soft, glutinous and slightly sweet. It's very good."

"Huh? And salty porridge? The meat is fragrant and melts into the porridge, giving it a unique flavor."

"Mr. Yan is so complimentary. The house must have made delicious porridge. I can't say how good it is. It's just my wish."

Yan Hong nodded, thinking of your thoughts all the time is the most rare thing.

Yan Hong saw that Xia Chuntao still had a food box in his hand, "Send it to me while it's hot, that guy has the most problems."
