The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 506
[Chapter 506: New Amber, take care!]
Fang Xiu didn’t understand until he heard this.
It turns out these people were talking about crayfish.
For him, crayfish is just a casual thing, but for these farmers, the fact that crayfish can be eaten is more exciting than anything else.
Bloodworms, which originally resembled locusts, transformed from crop-damaging pests into delicious crayfish in a matter of days.
These farmers also felt the tangible benefits brought by the crayfish within a few days.
In just one or two months, they made more money from selling crawfish than they earned from a year of hard work growing crops.
Without Xin Amber’s original advice, how could they have lived like this?
They had long wanted to thank Xin Amber in person, but Xin Amber lived in the city and they didn’t know the specific location, so they had no choice but to give up.
Therefore, this time when I heard that Xin Anbo was ordered to inspect the Zhongyuan Road and might have to pass through his village, I waited on the official road early, just to see Xin Anbo and express their gratitude.
“By the way, Xin Amber, these are some of our thoughts. Please be sure to accept them. They are some local specialties from the fields. Don’t dislike them.”
The farmer seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly greeted his friends behind him, smiling. said.
“Xin Amber, these are the eggs laid by my hens. I have saved about ten eggs.”
“This is the vegetables grown in my field.”
“This is the hare I just shot a few days ago.”
Suddenly, the farmers not far away They all carried the baskets in their hands to deliver these specialties to Fang Xiu.
When Fang Xiu saw this scene, he suddenly felt warm and inexplicably moved in his heart.
“Thank you all.”
He thought for a moment, but still did not refuse, and stepped forward to accept these things one by one.
Eggs, wild vegetables, rabbits,
no matter what, as long as they are given to me, they are all in my hands.
“Actually, even without me, you will find out sooner or later that crayfish are edible. I just told you in advance.
And the reason why you can live like this now is the result of your own efforts. If it weren’t for your efforts, Even if you know that the lobsters are edible, what’s the point of catching them?
So, to tell you the truth, I deserve to be like this. I
won’t say much more. I am patrolling according to your majesty’s orders. The Central Plains Road is a long way and it is not convenient to stop here.
I just want to say, everyone, thank you!”
After saying that, he took a step back, bowed slightly, and turned around to get on the carriage.
These farmers are all simple people.
Their way of thinking is simple.
If you are good to me, I will naturally be good to you.
Although there is no meaning of repaying kindness with drops of water and springs of kindness, it is almost equivalent to repaying kindness with kindness.
They deeply recognized Xin Amber’s achievements and the help he provided to farmers like them.
Therefore, everyone was extremely moved to see someone like Xin Amber so approachable and amiable.
Some people even had red eyes and almost shed tears when they saw the scene where the new Amber bowed slightly.
Beside, Bai Xiaochun was sitting on the horse, and his expression became a little strange when he saw this scene.
This was the first time he had seen the young master behave in this way.
In the past, or in the city of Kyoto, when faced with such a flattering person, I would just accept the things and then let them go with a casual sentence.
This is still good, just like the Nanyang businessman back then.
I gave him so much gold, silver and jewelry, plus a plant of ‘Ten Thousand Years Ginseng’, but in the end he just said ‘Go away’.
However, a few local eggs, a few poor-quality wild vegetables, and a small hare actually made the young master bow slightly, and even said something like “Thank you” that he had never heard before.
It’s really hard to understand.
What is even more difficult to understand is that the performance of these farmers is just to earn a few more silver coins. Are they so grateful?
I have been standing on this road, and I don’t know what happened here.
After a while, when Fang Xiu sat firmly in the carriage, a military guard immediately came forward, looked at them, and said loudly: “My masters have to go on their way, please disperse, please disperse.”
“All dispersed, Dispersed!”
Although these farmers did not know a few words, they were all sensible people. After hearing the guards’ words, they dispersed one after another, stood on the roadside, looked at Fang Xiu’s carriage, and said loudly: “Xin’an Uncle, it’s a long journey, please be safe!”
“Xin Amber, please take care of yourself!”
“
The voices of these farmers were loud, and the carriages continued to move forward for a minute or two before the voices gradually weakened.
Fang Xiu sat on the carriage, staring blankly at the eggs, wild vegetables and hares placed in front of him, wondering what he was thinking.
He thought that it would be good to be reborn and be at ease.
In fact, this has always been his purpose. Because of the ‘brain disease’ defined by the Imperial Medical Office, he has to follow his own heart in everything he does.
You can do whatever you want to do, and you can do whatever you don’t want to do.
But
as time goes by, such days seem to become more and more boring, boring and boring.
Sometimes, he himself would wonder, is this kind of life really what he wants?
Now, thinking about it, I have done a lot of things, but I have done very little
.
Thinking of this, I felt a little upset. I opened the car curtain, looked at Bai Xiaochun, and asked, “How much do you have with you?” Silver?”
He had all the banknotes on his body and no silver at all, so he could only ask Bai Xiaochun.
Bai Xiaochun thought for a while and replied: “Young man brought five taels of broken silver. Master, do you want to use it?”
Fang Xiu nodded and ordered: “Send someone back to collect these eggs, wild vegetables and hares.” The money has been paid, young master, what I don’t like the most is taking other people’s things for no reason.
Okay, go ahead!”
When Bai Xiaochun heard this, his expression became a little strange, and he thought: Take other people’s things for no reason. It’s just robbery. Isn’t this your favorite thing to do, young master?
He thought so in his heart, but did not say it out loud. He just responded: “Yes, Master!”
Fang Xiu put down the car curtain, looked at these real local products in front of him, and once again fell into deep thought.
Only
this time, he was not as upset as before.
Because he has figured something out.
I really want to live a free and easy life, but there is no necessary connection between doing something for the people of Chu and living a free and easy life.
On the contrary, the more entangled and constrained you feel, it is better to follow your own heart and do whatever you want without being so hesitant.
So what if we run into some trouble?
I am a person suffering from ‘brain disease’!
