Chapter 140: Walking Fortune Tree

The plaster felt warm when applied, and He Yanxiu felt very comfortable.

"Someone from the capital came over these days and brought some fashionable gold items. I saw a few leaf-shaped ornaments made of gold that were well made, so I asked someone to put them in this box."

He Yanxiu brought the box over and said, "I'll give it to you."

"You can make jewelry with it or just keep it. If you need help in your daily life, these gold leaves are made of pure gold and can be used in an emergency."

If I always give you banknotes, it feels like I have just paid for the goods...

It feels weird.

Su Yujin took the box and looked at it.

A few gold leaves were neatly arranged in the box with a brocade bottom.

It is in the shape of an ordinary leaf and made of pure gold. Although each one does not look very thick, the leaves are not small and there are quite a lot of them. A rough estimate is that the total weight of these gold leaves is about 20 to 30 taels.

Twenty-three taels of gold is equivalent to two or three hundred taels of silver!

"Thank you, Second Master." Su Yujin accepted it happily and congratulated Yan Xiu again and again.

He Yanxiu smiled without saying anything and just raised his hand towards Su Yujin.

"Then you can take a rest first, Master. I will take my leave."

Su Yujin held the brocade box in her hand, went back to her room with a smile, and put the gold leaf away.

I feel so happy!

But speaking of it, did the Second Master reward her with gold leaves for no reason because he had injured his wrist and ribs again, and she didn't ask too much, rewarding her for knowing her limits and knowing the situation? Or was it because he felt a little guilty about having to trouble her to get treatment again? After Su Yujin thought for a while, she waved her hand in self-mockery.

Why think so much? It's a reward from the Second Master, that's a good thing. If she doesn't secretly blame him for looking down on her, it's just...

Since you've received so many gold leaves, should you return the favor by making a delicious meal for the Second Master at noon?

Su Yujin locked the box and took Ai Cao to the small kitchen.

The tomato fish is made with sweet and sour tomato juice made by peeling four or five tomatoes, the lotus root meatballs are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the celery and dried tofu are crispy and delicious, the mushrooms and rapeseed hearts are fragrant, the soup is an appetizer hot and sour soup, and the staple food is golden fried rice.

In the evening, there are tender and juicy lamb pies, fragrant winter melon stewed meatballs, tomato egg tofu that goes well with rice, crispy pickled cucumbers, and bright green cold lettuce shreds.

The next morning, we had snow-flake pan-fried dumplings, soy milk made from soybeans, red beans and corn grits, and pickled mustard greens and cucumber strips.

At noon, garlic pork ribs...

At night, He Yanxiu only asked for some eight-treasure porridge and two vegetarian buns, and he didn't allow Su Yujin to do anything else.

This is not recuperation, it's clearly gaining weight! If this continues, by the time all my injuries are healed, I'm afraid I won't even be able to get over the wall in the backyard!

In a blink of an eye, it is already late June.

Xing'an is fully recovered, and He Yanxiu is almost recovered too.

Although I cannot recover as usual, I can still do many normal things. As long as there are no major mistakes and I take good care of myself for a month or so, I will be almost fully recovered.

Everything is going fine at the Mint and is completely on track.

After discussing with Qu Zhiwen, Wan Mingjun and others, He Yanxiu decided to return to Beijing in early July.

By this calculation, this matter lasted about half a year, which is almost the same as previously expected.

In the past six months, several people have been working together and have similar personalities. Seeing that He Yanxiu is about to return to Beijing, they don’t know when they will see each other again in the future, and they feel reluctant to let him go.

So in the past few days, Qu Zhiwen and Wan Mingjun often found various excuses to visit He Yanxiu, drink tea and eat together, and talk more.

There is friendship between men, and naturally there is also friendship between women.

Su Yujin was about to leave, and Kang and Chen were naturally reluctant to let her go.

In addition, I was worried about Su Yujin taking care of He Yanxiu some time ago, so I didn't dare to disturb her. When I came back this time, I always felt like I had endless things to say.

Kang first settled the shop's revenue for Su Yujin for the past two months and rounded it up to an integer, which was four hundred taels of silver.

"I originally wanted to bring silver ingots, which would look grand and festive, but I was worried that it would be inconvenient for you to carry them when you go back, so I decided to give you silver notes."

Kang gave Su Yujin the small wooden box containing the banknotes. "I asked someone to make this wooden box specially. It is waterproof and moisture-proof. The lock cannot be opened by ordinary people. It is safe for valuables. I had someone paint peony and goldfish patterns on it in gold. This means that flowers will bloom and wealth will come, and there will be surplus every year."

Attract wealth and good luck!

"Thank you, Manager Kang, for your trouble." Su Yujin thanked him repeatedly and said with a smile, "I heard from Madam a few days ago that Manager Kang has found a fourth store?"

"What are you talking about?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Kang waved his hands repeatedly, "How can we be so slow? The fourth store is already halfway decorated and will be open in ten days. Yesterday I just decided on the shop for the sixth store. I'm going to pay the money and go to the government office to sign the red deed tomorrow."

Wow, the sixth one!

Su Yujin couldn't help but applaud the extremely capable Kang.

Shopkeeper Kang is truly a walking fortune tree!

"Then you will really make a fortune in the future." Su Yujin narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"Not really, it's just a few extra bucks." Kang took a sip of tea, "We have to wait until we open a hundred stores before we can really make a fortune."

Well said!

Su Yujin nodded repeatedly. Seeing that Chen was a little depressed and silent, she asked, "Madam, are you feeling unwell?"

"I've had a headache these past two days." Chen rubbed her temples. "I've asked a doctor to come and see me. He said it's nothing serious, just because of the hot weather. He prescribed two prescriptions for clearing away heat and detoxifying. I've been drinking them morning and night these past two days."

The weather has been hot and sultry these days.

There was finally a gust of wind yesterday afternoon, and the sky in the west turned overcast. I thought it would rain, but after the wind died down, the heat was still unbearable.

"It's been hot these past few days, so you're bound to feel uncomfortable. You'd better get some rest when you get back." Kang said with concern, "I asked someone to bring back a lot of ice. I'll send it to you later. Put it in the room so you can sleep comfortably."

"It's not that extravagant. Last winter the weather was warm, and it was said that there was little ice at that time. Ice is expensive this year." Chen disagreed. "Put some water in the room, and hug a bamboo lady at night."

Was the winter in Hedong Prefecture warm last year? Su Yujin's eyelids twitched.

She remembered that Shui Xing and Ai Cao had talked a few days ago and said that last winter was particularly cold, and it snowed one after another. In Hedong Prefecture, many roofs of the houses were damaged by the snow.

Even the small kitchen in the backyard of the government office had a corner collapsed by the snow, and even a red plum tree next to it was damaged.

Explanation: In ancient times, gold leaves, also called gold pages, leaf gold, were made one by one into the shape of a book (in fact, the first time I knew about this was when I was watching Xian Da's "Nuan Jun", hahahaha), the gold leaves here are leaf shapes made of gold, which can be integrated or separated at will to make decorations (the male protagonist said that he brought several fashionable gold items), and they may appear in the later period, because I want the male protagonist to give the female protagonist gold items, but I think ordinary jewelry will give her something to talk about, and gold bowls and gold chopsticks are not right, so I just give her something that is somewhat useful, but not so vulgar, made of gold, not that kind of gold leaves, I would like to explain this~~~ 　　I feel that my husband has become addicted to cooking at home recently. I am obviously not hungry, but he wants to make oden and insists that I eat it...
