Chapter 206 Itchy Hands
"It's okay, I can buy the place opposite yours." Shang Chenyi said very richly.
"I can have someone come over to help you with the work. You just need to give me some food, or I can buy it with money. I'll eat whatever you eat, and I won't be picky. How about it?"
Huo was speechless after hearing this. He didn't want to pay any attention to Shang Chenyi anymore, so he glanced at Ye Buli. He didn't believe that Ye Buli would allow this person to live apart from him.
Sure enough, after Huo Yu looked over, Ye Buli said to Shang Chenyi, "We still have things to do when we get back. Why don't we talk about it later?"
After hearing this, Shang Chenyi seemed to have thought of something, and said reluctantly: "Okay, let's come back later, but you can ask someone to buy the house opposite and renovate it in advance."
Before, his health did not allow him to do so, so he spent most of his time in the mountains. Most of the people living there were Ye Buli's subordinates. Although there were many people, due to class relations, those people respected him more to a large extent.
It’s not like I can chat with Ning Yan and the others, and the life there is not so lively.
The most important thing is that there are so many delicious foods, so he thinks it's time to move down from the mountain.
Upon hearing this, Ye Buli had no choice but to agree.
Ning Yan did not comment on their conversation. He did not cook often. Most of the time, Aunt Zhou and the others took turns cooking.
If Shang Chenyi wants to give money to buy food, there is nothing wrong with that. At least it can help Aunt Zhou and the others earn some money.
Now that I have saved enough money, I can buy food on my way out of the famine.
After dinner, it was just the hour of Xu. It was still early and the sun hadn't even set yet.
There was an occasional breeze through the pergola, but it was still very hot.
Shang Chenyi and Ye Buli sweated while eating, mainly because the dry pot potato chips were too spicy. It was the first time for both of them to eat it, and the weather was hot, so they sweated a lot.
Shang Chenyi took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped his forehead. He inadvertently saw that there was not even a drop of sweat on Ning Yan's face. He looked at the two children again and saw that they were only focused on eating meat and did not complain about the heat at all.
So he asked curiously, "Why aren't you sweating? Aren't you hot?"
When Ye Buli heard this, he stopped wiping his sweat, then he looked in the direction of Huo? and found that this man really didn't sweat a drop, which was a bit abnormal.
Huh? There’s no ice here, how can it not be hot?
When they heard this, their expressions didn't change at all. Huo said directly, "We have a cold body."
Cold? After hearing this, Shang Chenyi looked at Ye Buli with some doubt. Someone with a cold body can be so heat-resistant?
When Ye Buli heard this, he looked at Huo Xi meaningfully. Huo Xi might be able to fool others with this, but he couldn't fool him.
Ye Buli knew Huo's character best. He had a cold body? Even if he believed that cows could fly, he would not believe that Huo had a cold body.
However, he did not intend to expose it just yet. He would ask privately when he had time.
After eating, they rested for a while and then cut some melons to eat. The melons had been kept in the well and now tasted cool.
After eating a piece of melon, Shang Chenyi said to Ning Yan, "Brother Yan, are you selling these pumpkins, melons, and vegetables? If so, I'd like to buy some to take back."
These things were so delicious, and Ning Jian and the others took good care of them. He didn't even see any bugs on the vegetables.
Thinking that he might not be able to come back for a while, he wanted to buy some food for himself.
But it depends on whether Ning Jian wants to sell it.
"Yes, but we don't have many melons, so I can only sell you a dozen. If you want to eat some, come back in half a month. You can buy more of the other two." Ning Yan said.
"Okay, if I don't have time at that time, I'll let Ali's men come and buy it." Shang Chenyi nodded.
Ning Yan naturally had no objection to this.
After resting for a while, Aunt Zhou and several sisters-in-law asked the little ones to go to the backyard to take a bath. It was almost dark, and if they took a bath now, they wouldn't have to take a bath in the dark at night.
Moreover, the water in the wooden barrel, which had been exposed to the sun for a day, was just warm, so they didn't need to boil water, nor did they have to worry about the children getting sick after taking a bath.
Old Man Zhou and a few other men went to help Shang Chenyi and the others pick what they wanted.
Shang Chenyi went with them. Huo Yun and Ning Jing went out to play after dinner. Suifeng always felt that something bad was going to happen if they sat there, so he ran away too.
In an instant, only Ning Jian, Huo Yan and Ye Buli were left at the table.
Ye Buli looked at Huo Xi and said, "Why don't I remember you having a cold?"
Huo Yu lazily said, "I've been seriously injured, so I feel cold."
"I won't beat around the bush. What's your method for cooling down? I can buy it with money." Ye Buli said directly.
Huo knew that this statement might fool others, but not Ye Buli, so he didn't beat around the bush and directly took out a cooling patch and said, "Cooling patch, 100 wen each, effective for one hour."
Seeing this, Ye Buli took the cooling patch from Huo Yu's hand, looked at it carefully, and asked, "What is this made of?"
"Can I tell you this?" Huo said arrogantly, "If I tell you, wouldn't that steal my business?"
Ye Buli gave him a look that showed he was too lazy to respond, and then asked, "How do I use this?"
"Tear off the blue adhesive on the back and stick it directly behind your ears, the back of your neck, or the soles of your feet. This will work best." Huo explained to him.
Upon hearing this, Ye Buli followed Huo's method and put it behind his ear.
Not long after, I felt a slight coolness spreading throughout my body, and the original sweaty and sticky feeling was much less.
This thing is really useful, Ye Buli thought to himself, it’s better than ice and it’s cheap.
Then he said to Huo: "How much of this do you have? Sell me some."
"I'll sell you 100 stickers first. Come back and buy more when you run out." Huo said.
Ye Buli stopped bargaining after hearing this. Since Huo Qi said that he would come back to buy it later, it meant that he would sell it again later.
Maybe it takes time to make, so he doesn't need to rush and can just come back to buy more when he runs out of it.
So he took out some silver from his sleeve and gave it to Huo Yu together with the money for buying vegetables.
Seeing this, Huo accepted it without hesitation.
Not long after, Ye Buli and his companion took the things they bought and drove away in a carriage.
Ning Yan and Huo Yan sat in the yard to rest for a while, then took their two sons to the backyard to take a bath.
After washing up, I went back to the room.
Sitting on the bed, Ning Yan opened the gift box that Shang Chenyi gave to his two sons. There were too many people around, and he didn't know what Shang Chenyi had given him, so he didn't feel comfortable opening it.
When Huo Yun and Ning Jing saw that their father was about to open the box, they gathered around to watch.
After opening the box, I saw two round, egg yolk-sized, transparent glass balls inside.
There is a conch-shaped object inside the glass ball. The inside is sea blue with a little starlight inside, which looks very beautiful.
Seeing this, Ning Yan picked up one ball and took a look at it, while the other one was picked up by Ning Jing who was closer.
