The farmer has a mall

Chapter 42
Liu Fang at the side tugged at her father's sleeve, lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Daddy accept it, don't worry my aunt."

After finishing speaking, she quickly raised her head, glanced at Gu Nanyan who was approving to her, blushed and sank again.

Seeing her sister's red eyes, Liu Cheng finally moved the things into the back room, and Liu's face showed a smile.

"By the way, why didn't I see Brother Lei?"

Brother Lei is Liu Cheng's son.

Liu Chengdao: "He has gone up the mountain and will be back in a while."

Just as he was talking, Liu Lei came in, and when he saw Gu Nanyan standing at the door, he was stunned for a moment, and when he realized it, he scratched his head naively.

"The eldest niece is here, why don't you sit in the room?"

Gu Nanyan: "..."

Although according to her seniority, she should call her cousin, but he is only eighteen or nineteen years old, how did she call her big niece!

Seeing that she didn't speak, Liu Lei didn't think too much, just stood there and giggled.

Gu Nanyan didn't want to pay attention to this stupid man, and turned his gaze to the stone behind him.

This is……

She frowned, touched it with her hand, and sure enough, it was covered with white powder.

She looked in the direction Liu Lei came from.

No wonder she smelled a faint smell of sulfur as soon as she entered the mountain. It turned out that this was a gypsum rock mountain, so it was no wonder that the mountain was so desolate.

Seeing her touching her hand, Liu Lei hurriedly turned his body to one side: "Don't hurt your hand."

The eldest niece's hands are white and tender, what if she accidentally scratches her.

Gu Nanyan: Do you think I made it up?
She pointed behind him: "What are you doing carrying this back?"

Liu Lei scratched his head: "The pharmacy in the town collects this thing. Such a big piece can be sold for a penny after it is burnt."

It's just that there are quite a few people selling this. There are five or six households in his village alone, and he can only sell one piece in two days on average.

Gu Nanyan didn't say anything more, nodded and turned back to the room.

Liu Shi and his younger brother haven't seen each other for many years, the two chatted for a long time, and somehow they talked about Liu Cheng's wife, Li Shi.

The last time she heard that the child's mother died in an accident, she hadn't had time to ask in detail.

Liu Cheng sighed: "It's because I'm incapable and can't support a family. The sisters from Li's hometown work as maids in Master Qian's house in the town, so I found her a job doing laundry."

"It's been good all the time. The wages are [-] Wen a month. We also thought that we can prepare a dowry for Da Ya as long as we save for a year."

"But who knows..."

He said with trembling lips: "Who knows that at this time last year, just two hours after Mrs. Li left the house, someone from the Qian Mansion suddenly came, saying that Mrs. Li was washing clothes by the river, and she fell into the water and disappeared."

Recalling his wife, Liu Cheng held his head and wept deeply.

"They gave me 50 taels of silver, but I didn't want it. I wanted to go to the Qian Mansion to find out. A good person would be gone if he said nothing."

"But when I got to the town, they didn't even let me in. I was beaten up without even seeing Mrs. Li's body."

"I'm not reconciled. I go to Qian's house every day to knock on the door. Later, Li's fellow countryman secretly told me that the current was so fast that day that Li was washed away without leaving his body."

Speaking of this, Liu Cheng burst into tears, and Liu Shi also wept.

She didn't have much contact with Mrs. Li, she only remembered that she was tall and slender, and every time she saw her sister, she didn't speak, but just held her hand and pursed her lips and smiled.

Gu Nanyan frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

Shouldn't the person be washed away should be reported to the officials or sent to search along the river? How did you listen to Liu Cheng's meaning, the Qian Mansion sent people over as soon as the person was washed away?
So she asked Liu Cheng: "How long after the incident did the Qian family find you?"

Liu Cheng was startled. He didn't know why she asked such a question, but he answered honestly, "About an hour."

Now Gu Nanyan is even more sure that there is something wrong with this matter.

It is not close to the town, and the mountain road is rugged, it will take half an hour for her and Gu Laishhou to climb up.

Moreover, it will take more than half an hour to get from the town to the foot of the mountain, so the people in the Qian Mansion are like prophets, waiting at the foot of the mountain in advance?
Gu Nanyan sneered, is this coaxing people into being fools?
She glanced at Liu Cheng with a simple and honest face, all she knew was sitting there wiping tears.

Ok……

Not very smart indeed.

She suddenly remembered that the last time she bought land, the village chief said that it was the land released by Master Qian in the town.

It seems to say that the family will move to the capital.

Although she had some doubts about this matter, she couldn't expose people's scars without evidence, so she didn't ask any more questions.

He just wanted to ask shopkeeper Wu the next time he saw him. Fumanlou received dignitaries all day long, so he could know something about Qianfu.

They stayed in the old dragon's den until they were ready to go back after dinner.

Before leaving, Gu Nanyan wrote down a tofu recipe, which she read in a book in her previous life.

She can't just watch Mrs. Liu worry about her natal family all day long, and promote Mi En and fight Mi Qiu. After a long time, it is easy to raise people's hearts.

Knowing that Liu Cheng's family can't read, she specially drew illustrations on it.

Gypsum is needed to make tofu, and they can be regarded as local materials.

At that time, it will be no problem to set up a small stall in the town, or sell food and clothing in nearby villages.

Liu Cheng held Fang Zi with an excited expression.

In ancient times, communication was underdeveloped. If you want to learn a craft, you have to be an apprentice for someone else. Not to mention wages, you may not be able to become a teacher after 20 years of working as a cow or horse.

Although this is not a rare thing, it can be counted on one hand in the entire Mingshan County who can make tofu.

Liu Cheng really wanted to say that he couldn't accept this expensive thing, but seeing the surprised expressions on the faces of the two children, he couldn't say anything.

Liu patted Gu Nanyan's hand gratefully.

Although selling tofu is a bit tiring from morning to night, it is a good job anyway.

Besides, her elder brother is not a person who can't bear hardships.

Liu Lei was also very grateful to her, and the veins on the forehead twitched when Gu Nanyan called Gu Nanyan.

It was already dark when the three of them went down the mountain, and Ma Dazhuang was already waiting at the foot of the mountain.

In the winter weather, the cold wind blows like a knife.

Gu Laishhou shrunk his neck while sitting in the car. This year seemed to be much colder than previous years. It was not yet deep winter, and the river had started to freeze.

Mrs. Liu also felt that the weather was strangely cold.

She sighed, "I'm afraid there will be heavy snow this year."

Gu Nanyan didn't feel it. This was the first winter she had spent here. Although it was indeed much colder than in her previous life, there was no comparison, and she couldn't say how it was compared to previous years.

Gu Laishhou was a little worried: "Nan girl, if it snows heavily here, will all the things in our field be frozen?"

They are about to mature, so don't let their two months of hard work go to waste.

"It can't be frozen. You go back and ask everyone to light the stove in the greenhouse. From now on, you will take turns to watch the night every day. Just don't let the stove go out."

Only then did Gu Laishhou think of the stove that Gu Nanyan sent some time ago, and he couldn't help feeling relieved.

People can bake stoves, so plants should be able to... right?

Although he was not sure, he believed in Gu Nanyan, so he didn't ask any more questions.

From Laolongwo to Shangshan Village, you need to pass through a dense forest. There is a trail in it, and people passing by often walk here.

Today the forest is extremely quiet, as if even the birds are holding their breath.

Gu Laishhou shivered, feeling that the forest was eerie.

Gu Nanyan looked around with a sullen face.

The sun had already set, and the dense forest was backed by the mountains, and the surroundings were so dark that even the moonlight could not shine in.

When she was almost at the exit, she patted Ma Dazhuang who was driving the car.

"I'll jump out of the car in a while, don't look back, run straight ahead at the fastest speed, and don't stop when you reach the main road, remember?"

Gu Laishhou looked at his niece's slightly serious face suspiciously: "What are you going to do?"

Gu Nanyan shook her head, and signaled Gu Laishhou to keep quiet with her eyes.

"I don't think it's right. You and grandma go first, and I'll be there later."

Gu Laishhou glanced around, only to realize that there was no light around, not even the sound of insects, and he couldn't help but get goose bumps.

Even though it was winter, it was too quiet.

Upon hearing this, Liu looked at Gu Nanyan worriedly, but she also knew that she couldn't stop her granddaughter, so she just asked her to be careful.

Soon at the exit of the dense forest, Gu Nanyan asked Ma Dazhuang to speed up, and jumped off the bullock cart himself.

Seeing that the bullock cart was gradually running away, and after Liu Shi and the others were safe, Gu Nanyan smacked his back molars, and pulled out the shade from behind with a relaxed expression.

"A group of idiots, get out of here!"
