"I see you don't go out much these days. What are you doing?"
After the rain stopped for about seven days, Meiyou went to the foot of the back mountain to check, picked some wild fruits and stopped by Meiyou's house.
"Working hard."
When Meiyou entered the room, she saw Meiberry's full of resentment and suddenly fell silent.
If someone behaves like this in the middle of the night, Mei Berry might really be regarded as some kind of grievance-ridden ghost.
Meiyou followed Meiberry's raised hand and watched her knitting.
I took a look and didn't see what it was.
After another glance, Mei You asked silently: "Headband?"
Mayberry:? ?
"It's a knee brace." Meiberry, who no longer wanted to argue, handed another knee brace that she and her mother had made together to Mei You, letting her see the finished product.
As a result, Meiyou took it and took a look at it. Although the finished product was good, Meiyou met Meiberry's eyes again and asked, "Don't you think the opening in your hand seems a bit small?"
Mayberry:? ? ?
"Forget it, it's not for me anyway, a smaller one should be fine."
Meiberry took one look and gave up trying to save him.
Then he looked up at Mei You and said expectantly: "By the way, sister, after we finish this in a few days, we can discuss business with Jiubaoxuan~ What do you think, how should we discuss this thing? Or technology investment ?”
Now that Mei You is here, she can't help but be "picked out" by Mei Bei and discuss the matter of finding Jiubaoxuan in the future.
"Yes, but this is not as simple as soap. You can solve it by handing over a recipe. For example, knitting yarn requires people to learn it in person."
Meiyou mentioned the wool thread here and a more important point.
"I don't know whether Jiubaoxuan's final focus is on wool threads or knitwear."
Meiyou suddenly said such a sentence, which also attracted Meiberry's attention.
"If we focus on wool thread, it is obviously a good thing that will benefit the country and the people. If it is knitted products, they will look down on simple knitted products, and they will even demand higher quality of wool thread..."
Following Meiyou's words, Meiberry also realized a terrible problem as she spoke.
Mayberry remembered the historical economic case that she had seen before - "Sheep eats people".
With the promotion of wool thread, the people's demand for wool thread has increased, and the demand for native sheep in the Central Plains cannot be met, so more attention will naturally be directed to the nomads.
If wool could be exchanged for more necessities such as food, salt, and tea, the battle between the grassland nomads and the Central Plains would plummet.
Once you realize the importance of raising sheep, and you can get good things with wool, why fight?
The short-sighted man no longer breeds his war horse, and the brave man puts down his butcher knife and no longer fights.
Everyone raises sheep, and their dependence on the Central Plains is getting deeper and deeper. If the Central Plains suddenly cuts off the wool trade one day, it will be a disaster for the foreigners who raise sheep...
"hiss--"
Meiberry suddenly felt that if she wanted to make some money through wool, she might get into trouble.
"Sister, what do you think the background of the person behind Jiubaoxuan is?"
Mei Bei was a little worried that the whole family would suddenly go from farming to scheming and fighting in the court. She, she couldn't handle it!
"have no idea."
"Eh?"
"If you don't know, you don't know." Meiyou looked at Meiberry honestly, "Just pretend it doesn't know."
"Oh~"
For a moment, Mei Berry didn't know whether to say whether Mei You was deceiving someone or pretending to be an ostrich.
"When the time comes, don't talk too much, hand over the things, and still talk about investing in technology and sending people to teach. Otherwise... don't say much if you don't want to cause trouble."
After Meiyou finished speaking, he glanced at Meiberry and asked, "I heard from my aunt before that what other plans do you want to write to them?"
"No, no, I won't write anymore." Mei Bei immediately sobered up and shook her head. Mei You reminded her in time. Sometimes it's better not to be over-exposed, especially when you don't have the ability to protect yourself.
Thinking of this, Mayberry became less enthusiastic about knitting sweaters.
"sister."
"Um?"
"When the weather gets cooler, can you teach me some skills to protect myself?"
"Can you endure hardship?"
good question!
When Mei Berry saw Mei You's serious questioning look, she hesitated for just a second and then nodded immediately!
"Just teach me! As long as you don't say anything about me, I'm already set and can't learn anymore, hahaha."
"That's not true. There are not so many bells and whistles in killing people. It varies from person to person."
Mayberry: 0.0?
"kill?"
Mayberry wasn't sure if she heard correctly just now.
"What is the problem?"
Meiyou didn't know what Meiberry was surprised about, but Meiyou himself realized that this was a bad time and he just killed people.
"Ah, it's nothing, you just think it's pretty awesome?"
Mei Bei also remembered Mei You's previous situation. All Mei You knew were the skills that were forced out of her in the apocalypse and allowed her to survive.
That's enough!
Mayberry is not picky about what it takes to survive.
Mayberry tried her best to appear less unacceptable and afraid.
At least, what the boss knows is the most useful summary of practice.
Mei You, who saw Mei Berry's behavior, also became interested. She thought that Mei Berry would cowardly ask if there was a way not to kill people.
In the end, besides being confused for a moment, she seemed to accept it?
"Mayberry."
"Um?"
"Why don't you ask if you have the ability not to kill people?"
"Since you said it, sister, you must be super strong at this skill. If I ask about other things, maybe you can, but you are not strong.
I’m already this good at it, if I learn something else that I’m not very good at, it’s useless to learn it~”
What Mayberry said seems to make sense?
Meiberry lowered her head and continued to fight against the knee pad, and whispered softly: "I probably won't be able to kill even if I learn how to kill~ I'm not afraid!"
Mei You was dumbfounded, and for a moment she didn't know whether it was because she was being a bit over the top or because the other party was being too arrogant...
A few days later, Mei Mei and Mei You followed Mei Youqian to the town.
A group of three people went straight to Lin Shoucai.
After they came to the door, Lin Shoucai was shocked by Mei Berry's appearance.
"Miss Mei San's face..."
Unlike everyone in the family who sees Meiberry every day, no one feels the subtle changes in Meiberry.
Lin Shoucai had actually not seen Meiberry for several months, and Meiberry had changed too much.
At first glance, if Mei Youqian and Mei You weren't present, he wouldn't even dare to recognize Mei Mei.
"What's wrong with me?"
Mei Berry touched her face, thinking there was something dirty, and quickly turned to look at her father and Mei You, asking them to wipe it quickly if they saw it.
But both of them shook their heads and saw nothing, so the three of them turned to Lin Shoucai, who then finished the second half of his surprised words:
"Very white……"
It wasn't like the pallor of a patient, but Mei Berry's fair skin always reminded him of his sickly master, who also had an astonishingly pale face and bright red lips.
But there are differences between Mayberry and his master.
Plumberry’s red lips are plump and moist, like ripe cherries soaked in morning dew;
The complexion of the whole face is also very good, with a little bit of radiant pink in the snow-white skin.
Therefore, the sharp contrast between the snow-skinned red lips was much less severe than that of his master.
If my master gradually gets better, will he be like this with the other girl?
Oh, no, my master is a man, and it seems that it is not good to be like a little lady?
Lin Shoucai stared at Mei Bei's face in a daze. Mei Bei was also confused, how white was he?
There were no mirrors in this era. Mei Pei looked at the only small bronze mirror in the house every day but found nothing but a yellow face.
After being reminded by Shopkeeper Lin, Mei You and Mei Youqian also turned their heads and took another look.
"Well, she's quite fair~ One whiteness covers three ugliness hahahaha~"
"Yes, it's white." Mei You nodded in agreement.
Seeing the heartless look of his relatives, Lin Shoucai suddenly choked in his heart.
Yes, he is nosy.
He just couldn't help but think that Mrs. Mei San looked similar to his master in some aspects, and he also recalled Mrs. Mei San's aggressive aura during the last soap show.
Shopkeeper Lin couldn't help but think: Isn't it a good person to look like this?
"By the way, Shopkeeper Lin, we are looking for you today because we have a big deal to do with Jiubaoxuan!"
No matter what the other party was thinking, Mei Bei and the others had already taken out the woolen fabrics and two balls of wool from the backpack in front of Lin Shoucai...
That pair of kneepads...hahahaha, someone will receive it soon!
