Brother Hua also sniffed it between his nose, and pretended to peel it under Xiaosi's distressed eyes.
Don't ask him how he knew to peel it off, just ask him if he had eyes to see. Xiaosi was holding the skin in his other hand.
Xiaosi's heart twitched with pain as her brother moved, and she watched eagerly, which made Brother Hua laugh straight away.
"Small sample, here you go." After saying that, he put the orange in his hand into his little brother's hand.
Xiaosi's eyes lit up and his face changed instantly. He grinned at his brothers and paused when he was about to put the orange in his handbag.
After hesitating for a moment, he quickly peeled off the tangerine in his hand and divided it into four parts.
"Eldest brother, second brother, and sister, let's eat together."
As a foodie, I felt a little distressed when I peeled off the skin. After all, it was too little, but after I peeled off Xiao Si, I didn’t feel reluctant to part with it.
Whatever delicious food his brothers and sisters have is kept for him, and he has to share it with them, even though it really hurts.
Brother Hua, Second Brother Hua, and Hua Jin all laughed when they looked at the orange that was divided into four parts, and couldn't help but touch Xiao Si's head. Especially Hua Jin felt that this younger brother was becoming more and more painful.
It is true that my younger brother loves to eat, but it is also really good for his family and brothers and sisters.
"Hmm...it's so sweet," Brother Hua said exaggeratedly as soon as he stuffed it into his mouth, and his eyes lit up.
The eldest brother Hua Yun'ao nodded with the same bright eyes. It was indeed very sweet. He had never tasted such delicious fruit before.
Only Hua Jin is the calmest, after all, he eats it often.
After feeling the delicious taste of the orange, the brothers returned to their senses and thought of Xiaosi's words again, and looked at their sister.
"Little sister, what's with the salt in your mouth?"
Is that what they think?
There is only one kind of salt that can be called salt, which is usually used for cooking.
Hua Jin glanced at the main room with a mysterious smile, "Brother, second brother, you can see and see for yourself."
As he said this, he took out a few more small satsumas from his satchel, and each of his brothers took a few more, and then gave two more to Xiaosi. Since this child is generous, she, as her sister, should also be generous.
He casually took the orange peel from Xiaosi's hand. This thing has to be thrown back into space to be regenerated. It cannot be wasted. Otherwise, you won't be able to eat satsuma oranges, and your life will be less fun in the future.
"It's mysterious. I'll go take a look." Brother Hua took off the bookshelf and turned around to walk towards the main room.
Brother Hua glanced at his sister and took off the bookshelf on her back, but before he could take a step forward, he heard the second brother's surprised voice.
"Brother, come and see?" There was even a little shock in the voice.
I couldn't help but glance at my sister Hua Yun'ao and quickened her pace. I somehow felt that my second brother's shock had something to do with my younger sister.
Hua Jin followed behind clearly. The second brother's reaction was already good. Didn't he see his grandparents and parents, they couldn't help themselves from the surprise? They were gathered around the table and still haven't calmed down yet. .
"This is……"
Brother Hua's eyes widened when he looked at the pile of snow-white powdery things on the table. Thinking of Xiaosi's words, he couldn't help but pinch some and put it into his mouth to confirm.
The second brother Hua on the side had already stuck out his tongue with so much salt in his mouth. Even so, he pinched some more and put it into his mouth, as if he wanted to confirm and confirm again.
"Brother, do you feel it?" Brother Hua looked at the slightly stunned Brother Hua and said in surprise.
The salt on the table looked very clean and white, and even tasted very pure, without any impurities and no bitter taste like before. Brother Hua was shocked and didn't understand where the family got this stuff from. , you must know that even the best salt in the shop is not like this.
Hua Yunxiang's loud voice also woke up everyone else in the room.
"What are you talking about? Keep your voice down." The first thing that Mrs. Hua did after she came to her senses was to slap her second grandson, but her eyes were fixed on the salt on the table and her heart was still beating.
Coarse salt on the market sells for at least thirty cents per pound, which is still the coarsest and worst. I heard that the fine salt eaten by the rich and powerful can cost several dollars or even several taels.
I have also seen the refined salt sold in shops. It is not of the same grade as the one on the table. There is no room for comparison.
"Milk..." Brother Hua shrank his shoulders.
"Grandma, what... is going on?" Hua Yunxiang still couldn't hide his surprise as he looked at the snow-white salt grains on the table.
"I'll tell you later, go to the kitchen and get some clean jars." Mrs. Hua called her eldest grandson to the side.
Clay pots are not worth much, and my family always likes to pickle some vegetables, so these things are indispensable, and they are always prepared from time to time.
After reacting, Hua Yun'ao quickly said "Oh" and quickly took two clean small jars from the kitchen.
There seems to be a lot of salt on the table, but in fact it only contains less than two jars, weighing about five or six kilograms.
Huajin has been buying nearly ten kilograms of coarse salt these days, and it is not a small amount to be able to come up with this.
After putting them into jars and leaving enough for the family for a month, Mrs. Hua took the two jars of salt into her room. This thing was too precious to be placed in the kitchen.
The two brothers were still waiting for family members to explain their doubts. When they saw grandma put away the things and came out, Hua Yun'ao, who had always been steady, couldn't help it anymore and asked, "Grandpa, can you tell me now?"
"Is the door closed?" Old Man Hua did not answer his grandson's question, but looked cautiously in the direction of the door.
"Don't worry, sir, it's closed," Brother Hua said quickly.
"Don't talk about the salt outside, do you hear me?" The old man nodded and looked at his two grandsons and the little grandson playing at the door.
It's not that they don't believe the children, on the contrary, their children have always been strict with their mouths and never talk about family matters to the outside world.
You know, you know, but you still have to remind me.
"Don't worry, Master." After hearing this, the two brothers immediately straightened their expressions, and Xiaosi, who was playing with a slingshot at the door, also agreed.
The brothers were young but they also knew the importance. They knew from a very young age that salt was difficult to obtain and very precious. However, people cannot live without salt. The important thing is that salt has always been controlled by the court and is not allowed to be collected privately.
"As long as you are clear about it, your father and I must keep it secret until we come up with a good charter about the salt. Even your aunt can't say it. We can't take chances when money touches people's hearts. There are many unscrupulous people in the world. Do you understand that people are willing to fly and fly?"
The two brothers looked at each other, wondering what they still didn't understand.
At first, I thought that these things were brought by my grandfather and father from other places, but listening to my words, it was obvious that this was not the case. The only reason why I was so solemn was that the salt on the table was homemade. Thinking of it, the two brothers immediately looked more serious. .
I even understood what I meant. If word got out that they had something many times better than fine salt at home, it would definitely cause an uproar. It was a small matter to hand it over to the court. I was afraid that some people would take risks. Then their family... ….
Thinking of this, the two brothers' hearts trembled almost at the same time, and their expressions became more solemn.
"Master, we understand." The two brothers nodded solemnly. This is a matter of family safety, so we must be cautious.
