Chapter 51 Genius Red Bean's Dark History

When did Yu Hongdou say the word "genius"?

That was when our family of four reunited in Wuan County and went shopping.

Xu and Yu Sanlang were killing everyone in the blacksmith shop. While the shop assistants were moving things, Yu Hongdou took her brother and quietly went to the grocery store next door.

She did not forget her previous vow and went to the city to buy toilet paper, lots of it.

Yu Song was mysteriously dragged to the grocery store by his sister. He saw his sister leaning on the counter which was half a head taller than her to look at the shelves at the back, which was cute and funny, so he picked her up and let her see enough.

Yu Hongdou twisted her body in her brother's arms, trying hard to look at the high shelves behind the counter, but there were too many goods, so she could only ask the salesboy for help.

"Hey, do you have toilet paper? The kind used for going to the toilet." Yu Hongdou was not shy at all and asked right away.

The cycle of grains is a major event in life.

Yu Song didn't expect that his sister was so anxious to ask this and could not help but burst out laughing again. When his sister was about to get angry, he finally controlled himself and winked at the salesperson.

The sales guy was also very happy. It was really rare to see such a young child coming in so confidently to buy toilet paper.

"Yes, yes, sir, we have several kinds in our store. I'll show you the small ones." When the waiter saw Yu Song's eyes, he suppressed his laughter and responded repeatedly.

Then he turned around and moved several things to the counter, piles on the left and right.

Yu Hongdou looked at the various items that were gradually increasing on the counter, and the mosaic images in her mind were almost out of control.

When she couldn't help but say enough, the boy finally stopped taking the goods and began to explain and quote the price to the young customer.

"Sir, this is a stone duster. It is made by breaking and grinding stones that have been washed by water for many years. It is smooth and not scratchy. It can be washed and reused. The more it is used, the more it becomes useless. Three pieces for one penny. There are different colors and patterns. The whole family can use them separately."

The waiter was holding a blunt crescent-shaped pebble in his hand, displaying it upside down, which made Yu Hongdou's eyes pop out.

The guy glanced at Yu Song and saw that the little girl's parents had no intention of stopping him, so he knew he was doing the right thing.

The little girl's parents obviously wanted the little girl to see some new things.

So he picked up another one and continued to explain and demonstrate it to Yu Hongdou.

"Sir, this is a toilet stick. It is made of bamboo. The bamboo is cut into long and thin strips and the burrs are smoothed."

"The bamboo we use is more than three years old. The bamboo chips are wide and thick. They are not used to pull people. The bamboo chips can be cleaned and reused. They can be used for burning after they are discarded. Ten bamboo chips cost three cents. If you buy one hundred bamboo chips, you will get ten bamboo chips for free, and a bamboo brush will also be given."

Yu Hongdou looked at the bamboo strips, which had all their edges rounded and even smeared with some oil, and looked somewhat moist, and she actually thought they looked pretty nice.

She remembered that a classmate brought back a figurine from a trip that was just this kind of small bamboo piece, with a poem engraved on it and a tassel hanging below...

The young man then took out two more kinds, one of which was the leaves commonly used in the village. However, after he introduced it, Yu Hongdou realized that this kind of leaves was the leaves of Eucommia ulmoides.

The other type is a square piece simply woven with dry hemp grass, which looks a bit like paper towels. However, the hemp rope is a bit sharp if not used properly, so it is best to soak it in water before use. However, it is easy to get moldy after soaking in water, so it is best to soak it in water before use.

The prices of these two are slightly higher than the previous two. Five pieces of Eucommia ulmoides leaves cost three cents, and two pieces of hemp grass handkerchief cost three cents.

Then we finally come to the straw paper series, which is divided into three grades, differing in terms of fineness, color and price.

The three types of toilet paper are low-grade toilet paper, which costs five cents per sheet; medium-grade toilet paper, which costs seven cents per sheet; and high-grade toilet paper, which costs nine cents per sheet. A large sheet of toilet paper can be cut into seven to ten sheets of toilet paper.

"There are also silk, satin, and other materials, but these are only used by the rich and powerful. Our store has limited supplies and does not have the relevant sources. Besides, the rich and powerful will not buy things in stores like ours."

After the waiter introduced them one by one, he also took the opportunity to introduce the top-grade toilet paper materials to the young guest who was amazed by his erudition.

"Really n... He's really a genius!" A certain Yunlong emoticon package that was popular on the Internet flashed through Yu Hongdou's mind, and she felt as shocked as if she was bombarded by Italian artillery.

Who would have thought that ancient people were so awesome? She grew up in the countryside when she was a child and only knew to use leaves and sticks when they didn’t have paper. She never imagined that ancient people could also use stones!

This was the first time Yu Song heard someone use the word "genius" to express praise (or admiration?), and he remembered it.

Yu Song told the truth to the young masters present. He did not think that this matter was shameful or difficult to talk about.

I even felt that what my sister said was right. The cycle of life and death is a major event in life. There is nothing to be shy about. As a living person in this world, you have to eat, drink, defecate and urinate.

He mentioned his sister's frank and honest attitude, and then looked at the three brothers of the Tan family and found that they were all struck by lightning.

"Is there really a stone one?" Tan Yanlin was full of doubt, and then he convinced himself: "It is indeed a genius idea. The wisdom of the people is endless. It seems that I still have a lot to learn."

Tan Mengao looked at Yu Song, then at his 11th brother who seemed to be in a trance, and finally asked a question that had nothing to do with it: "Is it true that your sister has never received enlightenment?"

Isn't this self-righteous and fearless look exactly the same as the nerdy brother in front of me when he was a child?

When this kid was having his first birthday celebration, someone played a trick on him and deliberately put a lot of random things in the celebration items.

As expected, the little eleven who was good at studying grabbed a multi-treasure hairpin and a colorful clay figurine.

Although the old man said that the Zhou-year-old ceremony was just for fun and all the implications were nonsense, there were still many people who made fun of Xiao Eleven for it.

However, Xiaoyi, who had just grown up, argued confidently: "Since ancient times, everyone has a love for beauty. In the Wei and Jin dynasties, all gentlemen liked to apply facial masks and wear flowers. When I was young and ignorant, I knew that Duobao was beautiful and Ruyi. Isn't it natural that I can distinguish between beauty, ugliness and nobility?"

It happened that an old friend of the old man came to visit. After hearing this, he laughed wildly and then took Xiao Eleven as his disciple.

The old man's old friend is none other than Xu Ziang, the world-famous debater.

Tan Langxuan did not express his opinion, but he did have doubts about his life in his heart. At the same time, he became more concerned about his little sister Yu Song.

As expected of a person recognized as the master by a mastiff, he is indeed somewhat extraordinary.

That night, because of the word "genius", the three brothers of the Tan family learned about the wisdom hidden behind the seemingly ignorant little girl, and also learned about the dark history of the little girl who "spoke wildly" when buying toilet paper.
