It took about four days for the journey from Nalinzi to Bojia City. It happened to be the morning when the group of them arrived at Xiahouyi's residence. Those people also came back in the evening of the same day. After finishing their work, they rented a carriage and went to the host's house in Bojia City.

Fan Yu followed Xia Houyi to his home.Jian is a very grand house, which not only covers a large area, but also is quite "tall" inside, with towering buildings.Fan Yu forgot what kind of house he lived in in another world. He only remembered the mountain bungalow he lived in now, and he blurted out: "Your house is so tall." The tone of admiration was like his I have never seen such a tall house before.Xia Houyi was proud of himself, but he just turned his head to the side, didn't look at him directly, just gave him a sideways look, and told him to follow.

Fan Yu followed him to a building on the north side and stopped, only to hear the man order someone next to him to find someone to clean the room on the west side of the first floor, and said that the man he brought him would stay for a few days.

Fan Yu didn't know what etiquette matters to take into account, and felt that this borrowing was quite common.Unexpectedly, this building is usually lived by Xia Houyi himself, and every time he comes to this other residence, he always lives on the second floor of this building.

After the master entered the room, and even the man brought by the master entered the room, the servants and women who stayed in the house all year round began to murmur, saying that what they brought was Who, why did he live in the same building with the owner of the house, and I don't know why.

Fan Yu went up to the second floor this afternoon to ask Xia Houyi to borrow some money, and then went out to buy food. Xia Houyi had something to do, so he stayed in the house, and sent another housekeeper to accompany him. Together they went to the most reputable rice store in the city.Fan Yu saw that the triangle wheat in the shop was really cheap, and the texture was quite good, with green skin. This kind should be sweeter and tenderer than the black-haired ones that grow wild on the back of the mountain over there.However, each has its own advantages. Those on the back of the mountain are more glutinous, and this kind of triangle wheat has a stronger wheat fragrance, and it is first-class when used to make croaking.As soon as he bought it, he bought as many quacks as twenty rice bags, and it didn't cost much.He thought that after this trip, he might come back a few more times to restock before he harvested the wild triangle wheat on the back of the mountains around Yunu city again in the coming year. After all, he also rented a house there now, An assembly line-style division of labor and production has been established. In this way, the raw materials used for food materials will be doubled and doubled, so it is only natural to come to this place to replenish during the period.

Twenty grain bags as big as one hundred catties of rice, the shopkeepers in the shop were all surprised, and asked the little brother why he bought so much, the little brother said that the family has a large population and is too poor, so they can only eat cheap point of food.The owner of the shop knew the clothes of the servant who came with him, and at first glance it belonged to Xiahou’s mansion. The servant was still there helping him to collect the cart and ordered people to deliver the goods to Xiahou’s mansion. The shopkeeper was even more so. is incomprehensible.

Fan Yu saw that the shopkeeper was meditating there when he heard that the servant said that he was going to send it to Xiahou's mansion. He knew that the shopkeeper must be puzzled, so he hurriedly explained: "Temporary posting, I will pick it up in two days." Go to my family." The shopkeeper said "ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Seeing that this matter was finished, Fan Yu asked the servant to go back first, and he wanted to wander around the city alone.The servant said that his master ordered him to follow him, and he had no choice but to let this person follow him.At first, he was not at ease when someone was following him, but he gradually got used to it, and he just looked at it for himself, and he no longer felt uncomfortable.

In a shoe store, he saw full of round-toed high-tube quilted boots, and then he remembered to buy round-toed shoes.Standing in the shoe shop facing the street, he stuck his head out and glanced at the shoes on the feet of passers-by on the road, and found that the toes of the shoes worn by the people here were really oval.It seems that it is different from city to city.

It’s just that Bojia City is further north than Yunu City, and the climate is colder. He touched the quilted boots of the shoes on the top shelf and found them to be quite thick. If he bought it back in Yunucheng, it would be a bit hot, and he often runs around, and he doesn't feel how cold his feet are.

The shopkeeper in this shoe shop is no more talkative than the shopkeeper in the previous rice grain shop. Seeing him watching this for a long time, pinching the shafts of every pair of shoes, he seemed to have a bad face.Fan Yu caught a glimpse of his face, and suddenly remembered that he was such a "third-class citizen". If he came to this expensive shoe store to see other people's shoes and didn't buy them, the people here would definitely be unhappy. .Embarrassed, he sticks out his tongue unconsciously, like a child.

The shopkeeper still looked at him with anger on his face, and while he retreated outside, he explained: "I don't live here, and your shoe shafts here are too thick. I'm afraid it won't be easy to wear when I buy them back. "After speaking, I wanted to leave, and I didn't feel embarrassed here in vain.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the shopkeeper pointed to the shoes in the lower row on the inner side, and said, "Here, those over there are thin tubes." Fan Yu heard this, walked over, squatted down and looked carefully.They were all thin tubes. He picked a pair of plain colors, but the price was the most expensive in that row. He wanted to ask the shopkeeper, but he didn't dare to ask, because the shopkeeper had a fierce face. .The shopkeeper seemed to see his question, so he answered him behind his back: "This pair of cloth is good and the base is good, so it's so expensive. If you like plain colors, look at the pair on the far left in the row. It’s also very plain, and it’s half the price, and it’s quite durable.”

Fan Yu looked at it and asked if he could try it on. The shopkeeper took a pair that fit his size and tried them on for him.After trying it on, he bought it, and asked the shopkeeper if he had shoes for the hot season. The shopkeeper said that they didn't sell shoes for the hot season at this time, so he thanked the shopkeeper, got up and left.

In the evening, after Fan Yu and the servant returned to Xiahouyi's house, he had dinner with Xiahouyi. After the meal, he went back to his room on the first floor by himself, and the servant went to Xiahouyi's room later. He told him what happened in the afternoon, and said that the shopkeeper of Weng Nan shoe shop was very rude to Fan Yu.When Xia Houyi heard that it was him, he smiled and said: "Weng Nan is being polite to whom? He treats everyone like that, as if everyone owes him a debt and refuses to pay him back."

The owner of Weng Nan's shoe shop is also the shopkeeper. He sits in his own shop, and usually he is alone in the shop and he invites a few guys to help him in the shop.The shoe store in his house is famous for being expensive, and the texture, style, etc. are naturally the best.Usually, this owner is often invited by wealthy households in the city to measure their feet and make custom-made shoes. Of course, custom-made shoes are more expensive.

As his name suggests, this Weng Nan looks very distressed and worried towards everyone, and his weird temper is also well known in this city.Once, there was a lady from a wealthy family whose feet smelled, no matter how much she washed her feet, the smell couldn't be covered by the scented pollen. As soon as he went, he asked why they didn't wash their feet. He came to ask him to make shoes after they were clean, and the young lady washed her feet three times in advance to let him make a pair of shoes, because she knew her feet were inherently unclean, but she was still scolded like this.The lady cried for three days and never wanted him to make shoes again.

So his face was really not aimed at Fan Yu, but Fan Yu misunderstood in the afternoon.This person is not comfortable looking at anyone, maybe only looking at his shoes is comfortable.It's not that it's because he has a flattering expression when facing a child like Fan Yu, but if he sees a wealthy person, he will change into a flattering expression.He is flattering to everyone.

No wonder Xia Houyi laughed when he heard it was Weng Nan, and said something like that.At first, when he heard that the shopkeeper in the shoe shop treated the little man he brought back with such a face, he felt very uncomfortable, thinking that he would vent his anger on the little man tomorrow, but after hearing it, it turned out that It's from Weng Nan shoe shop, so it's not surprising.

He only told the servant that he would ask the second housekeeper of this house to go to Weng Nan's shoe shop tomorrow morning, and said that he would be invited to Xiahou's mansion to make shoes.The servant agreed, and then left his room.

In the morning of the second day, the second housekeeper of the mansion went to Weng Nan Shoes Shop and invited the shopkeeper to come to the house in the afternoon and said that he would be invited to make shoes. Weng Nan looked at his afternoon schedule and said it was okay. I went to their house at about three o'clock in the afternoon.

At about [-]:[-] p.m. that day, Fan Yu went to the woodshed to look at the twenty bags of triangle wheat that he had temporarily piled there, and then went back to his room.For a while, I felt that there was nothing to do, and there was nothing to see or play in this room. When I was about to lift my feet out of this house and go to Xia Houyi's mansion to take a look around, I heard someone knocking. Door.

He was about to open the door when he saw Xia Houyi just opened it in. He was thinking that this man was really rude, so he asked, "What kind of unclean smell do you have on your feet?" Fan Yuyi Listen, what are these words!That, of course, is the answer: "Of course not!"

As soon as Xia Houyi pointed to the bed in this room, he said to Fan Yu, "Sit over there and smell your feet well." The smell was quite controversial. He frowned and said, "No...it doesn't stink." There was indeed a little bit, and his feet were not sweaty. The smell on his feet was always fine, but his feet were covered in shoes all morning. , will not be completely dry.

Xia Houyi got impatient and said: "Smell it quickly, smell it carefully." He sniffed it again, and hated the man in his heart for asking himself to smell his feet over and over again. After smelling it, he raised his head and said: " It really doesn't stink." After saying that, she put down her feet and was about to put on her shoes again.

At this time, Xia Houyi walked over and picked up his foot. He lost his center of gravity and leaned back on the bed. He tilted his head and saw the person grabbed his foot and sniffed it. , put his foot down again, and said: "You are tasteless!" He muttered in a low voice: "Almost none, well, it's inevitable." Xia Houyi replied to him: "I am He told me not to have any of it, it would be better to have something fragrant." After that, he turned his head and went out to ask the servant girl to fetch water and a packet of incense powder.

The servant girl quickly brought hot water to come over, and Xia Houyi directly took off the shoe on his other foot in order not to bother Fan Yu.Fan Yu panicked and felt that this person was incomprehensible, so he retracted his feet into the bed, and the person also shrank in, and asked outside: "What are you doing? You don't want to ask me to soak my feet. I don't want to soak my feet. Is there anyone who soaks their feet at noon? What are you doing with such a fragrant soak!"

Xia Houyi comforted him with kind words: "Come on, be obedient, soak your feet, and put some powder on them later. A master from the shoe shop will come to make shoes for you this afternoon. The smell is a curse, and I still refuse to make it." Fan Yu heard that there was a master who ordered the shoes, and the slightest smell on his feet seemed to be disrespectful to others.So I sat down and soaked my feet seriously. After soaking, I took the initiative to take the face powder and poured it on.Finally, he raised his feet and smelled them, and felt that they didn't smell like a pair of feet at all. He frowned unbearably, and turned his face away.

Seeing his appearance, Xia Houyi hurriedly asked: "What's the matter? Could it be that the smell couldn't be removed but it got worse?" Saying this, he took a step forward, picked up his two feet, and raised them under his nose After smelling it, put it down, and asked: "Why do you puff so much? It's too fragrant." Fan Yu couldn't stand it, he raised his feet far away, and asked: "If it's too fragrant, I wonder if the master will also smell it. Want to scold me?"

Xia Houyi brought a clean handkerchief, pinched his thin ankles with one hand, wiped it for him, and said, "Perhaps, it smells too fragrant, so I will be scolded." Fan Yu said : "I really can't blame me, I haven't used any face powder, how can I know?"

While they were talking, Xia Houyi rubbed it on him, but Fan Yu simply ignored it and lay on his bed, feeling his back was very comfortable like this.The maid who came to deliver the water before came to the door to ask if she wanted to take away the water basin, and happened to see such a scene.His face was still red, and he stepped back outside, not daring to go to the door of the room to ask if he was going to close the water basin.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the owner of the Wengnan shoe shop came, and he came with a wooden ruler, a cloth ruler, and a shoe extension.When I saw the little brother in this room, it turned out to be the one who came to his shoe shop to buy shoes yesterday.And this little brother saw that the master who came to order shoes in the upper mansion turned out to be the shopkeeper with a bad face in the shoe shop yesterday.

The two of them had no extra strange emotions, Fan Yu just called out: "Hey, the shopkeeper, it's you." That Weng Nan also just said: "Hey? Brother, why is it you." Said Then, he squatted down and measured his feet.

Xia Houyi sat on a stool beside him.

Fan Yu glanced at Xia Houyi, Xia Houyi nodded, and he said, "Shopkeeper, I want two pairs of cold season clothes, the same thickness as the pair I bought in your shop yesterday. There are three pairs for the hot season.” Weng Nan looked up at him and asked, “Why are your feet so fragrant today?” Fan Yu glanced at Xia Houyi and said, “I just soaked them for a long time. Feet, even when it was about to be sprayed with incense powder." Weng Poorly: "Well, even this is too much." Fan Yu said: "Oh, I will spray less in the future." Although I said that, I thought in my heart. I don't know if there will be a future, maybe after finishing the shoes this time, I won't have the opportunity to find this master to make shoes specially in the future.

Weng Nan stopped talking to Fan Yu, and only asked Xia Houyi, as if he felt that Fan Yu was out of his control: "His feet must grow, and they grew the most in the past year or two. Just do so many pairs?" Xia Houyi said: "It's okay, you can do it for him." Fan Yu seemed to have been reminded that he had always forgotten that his body is always growing at this age , Wouldn’t it be a waste to buy so much at once?

So he hurriedly stopped them and said to Weng Nan: "Oh, I forgot. Then make a pair for the cold season, and then make another pair for the hot season." He thought he had already bought a pair for the cold season, and now he made another pair. , There is a pair that can be worn alternately. By the time of the hot season next year, the feet should not have grown too much. If there is a pair of hot season, wear it first, and we will talk about the rest.

Weng Nan still said to Xia Houyi: "I think it's the same. Even if you make shoes for him to wear, you can't waste them." When Fan Yu heard that Xia Houyi gave it to him, he was very happy, because he Now I am very happy to hear that there is no money, but after thinking about it, I always feel weird, what is this person doing to give me shoes when he has nothing to do.

But he didn't want to say anything directly to Weng Nan at this time. If he wanted to buy the shoes himself, he felt that he would lose Xia Houyi's face in front of others, so he lowered his head and didn't say a word. Nucheng just returned the money to this man along with the money he borrowed from him yesterday to buy rice.
