Farmhouse vicious stepmother, she is super fierce

Chapter 296 Returning to the Village
After Dazui and Huzi heard the news, they looked at each other in blank dismay.

Based on their understanding of the Mu Tianze brothers and sisters, they feel that they are really not such people.

Especially Huzi, he just patted his chest and said that he would help take care of the Zhuangzi that Mu Tianze and the others bought, but then Mu Tianze fell out with his master, what would he do if he was caught in the middle?
To help or not to help?
Dazui thought more, what Dazui saw that day, the excitement of the Mu Tianze brothers and sisters seeing Shen Jiayan did not seem to be feigned.

Moreover, after living together for half a year, he thought he could tell whether the Mu brothers and sisters really respected Shen Jiayan or whether they were just pretending.

But the city was full of trouble, and many acquaintances came to him to inquire about it. It didn't look like it was pretending?

Seeing Huzi also leaning over to ask himself, he confused Dazui.

He simply remembered one thing, if he didn't understand, he didn't presumptuously speculate on his master's thoughts, and asked Shen Jiayan directly with his son, isn't it all right?

Shen Jiayan, within two days after the news got out, Xu's side wrote a letter, full of three pages scolding the Mu brothers and sisters for being ungrateful and white-eyed, and asking her what happened?Did you ask them for help?
There are also other acquaintances in the business field, and they always don't forget to ask a few words when they meet.

There were those who comforted her and sympathized with her, and those who persuaded her on the surface but satirized her, which was very annoying.

At this moment, seeing Dazui and Huzi looking hesitant to speak, he couldn't help the pain in his head, and rubbed his forehead: "Speak, what do you want to ask?"

Huzi and Dazui are in a place that Shen Jiayan can't see, you poke me with your finger, and I elbow you at you, trying to make the other party speak first.

Dazui didn't guard against the force of Huzi's subordinates, pushed him a step forward, glared at Huzi, and then put on a business face: "Master, there is a lot of talk outside, and there are all kinds of things. So the bonus will really stop?"

Shen Jiayan was expressionless: "Of course it stopped! Since there are people who don't care about it, my money didn't come from floods. If I save this money, I'm afraid I can buy a few more acres of land by the end of the year!"

Dazui didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he shrank his neck and stepped aside.

Huzi had no choice but to bite the bullet and stepped forward: "Master, master, I didn't know that the Namu family fell out with the master, and I promised to help them take care of Zhuangzi, now, now—"

Huzi, a kid, was quite powerful in front of the village heads, but he was very clumsy in front of Shen Jiayan, so he asked directly.

The big mouth on the side almost couldn't help going up to cover Huzi's mouth, and couldn't bear to look directly at him.

Shen Jiayan was stunned for a moment, and then said impatiently: "You still want to ask me about such a trivial matter? Your own affairs, your friendship, make up your own mind! Go out if you have nothing to do!"

As for the matter of the Mu family, since both parties have a tacit understanding, it will be fine.

The most important thing is the attitude between Mu Tianze and her, since everyone knows that there is no relationship between them.

The rest of these subsections are really unnecessary.

In the worst case, even if the Nine Clans were exterminated, it would not be her turn.

Besides, she is now earning money for many high-ranking officials, just to keep her as a rake of money. If something happens, those people behind will also be able to protect her.

What she needs to do most now is to make Prince Cheng and those nobles reluctant to abandon her cash cow.

This white granulated sugar has been around for two or three years, and it's time for a new kind of sugar, such as rock sugar?fruit candy?Or toffee?
Shen Jiayan remembers that refining rock sugar is not too difficult, the main thing is to keep the temperature.

As for fruit candy, in this era there is no corn syrup, no various colorings, only natural fruits can be used, and it is still spring, but I don’t want modern society to have all kinds of off-season or tropical fruits. To make fruit candy, you have to wait until summer and autumn .

As for toffee, there is only milk or horse milk and goat milk in the Western Regions. If local buffalo milk is used, the output is too small, so let's wait until later.

However, Shen Jiayan remembered a famous dessert snack in modern society, ginger bump milk, and double skin milk.

I can't help drooling thinking about it.

Blinking his eyes, he stopped Huzi, who had already left the house, to go to the village, looking for the buffalo that had just given birth to a calf and was still nursing, and squeezed out fresh buffalo milk to send home.

Although Huzi didn't understand what Shen Jiayan wanted to do, he didn't ask any further questions and agreed to go.

Here, Shen Jiayan took a pen and hurriedly wrote down the method of how to refine rock sugar that was in his mind.

I remember that it was like one hundred catties of white sugar, boiled 35 catties of clean water, boiled it into sugar liquid, then put in one catty of water dissolved in one catty of alum and stirred evenly, heated the sugar liquid to about 150 degrees, then put it into a jar, Hang the cotton thread above the jar and dip it into the sugar solution.

These sugar liquids are afraid of the cold but not the heat. It is best to wrap them well, and then put them on the kang to keep the temperature. The temperature on the first day is kept at about [-] degrees, and the temperature can be reduced every day for the next seven days.

After seven days, rock sugar will condense on the cotton thread and the wall of the altar. Knock them off, wash and dry, and it will be rock sugar.

The rock sugar will be sweeter and more luscious, and it will be crystal clear. If you want to present it to His Majesty and the Harem today, it should be very good.

Sugar is a luxury in this time and space. White sugar can only be enjoyed by high-ranking officials and nobles. If there is sweeter rock sugar, and fruit candy will be made in the future, it will be listed as a tribute to the royal family.

This Changyang County, and even Anlu Mansion may be regarded as the capital of sugar production in the hearts of the imperial court or the common people in the future.

But for this idea, we have to discuss it with Xun Jinyuan and his wife first, and get their consent and support before we can operate it later, right?

Now, taking advantage of the spare time in the first half of the year, I can try it out first.

Thinking of this, Shen Jiayan couldn't sit still, and simply left the rest of the matter to Dazui, went home, packed up the things to bring, took Madam Cheng with her, and went to Zhuangzi.

The Zhuangzi that Mrs. Xu gave her back then has now increased several times in size.

With spare money, she slowly bought nearby scattered fields and nearby hills.

A separate small yard has also been expanded in Zhuangzi, which is specially used for various experiments.

When we arrived at Zhuangzi, I ordered Zhuangtou to move some clean jars and put them in the small yard.

While watching Madam Cheng ordering to put things away, the tiger came running up, and the people behind were still leading two cows, one big and one small.

He had just arrived at Zhuangzi before finding a mother and daughter who had just given birth to a calf for a month, when he heard that Shen Jiayan had also arrived at Zhuangzi.

He was taken aback, thinking that Shen Jiayan was in urgent need of these two cows, so he brought them here in a hurry.

It was only then that Shen Jiayan remembered that she was going to be Jiang Zhuangnai.

It's also easy. Let the woman in the village that raises cattle squeeze out half a bucket of buffalo milk, and ask a large piece of ginger to be found in the stove, scrape and wash it, wrap it in clean gauze, and take a stone and a small pestle. Thinly pestle the ginger juice and pour it into small bowls for later use.

For the fresh buffalo milk, add an appropriate amount of sugar, then slowly boil it over a low heat, and when it cools down to about [-] degrees, quickly pour the milk into a small bowl with ginger juice.

Then cover the small bowl and wait for about 10 minutes until the ginger and milk are solidified and ready to eat.

Fragrant, sweet and spicy, very appetizing.

Drink this ginger milk while it is cold. When the weather is hot, put it in the refrigerator and take it out. It is also a good product to cool off the heat.

There is no refrigerator at the moment, so it is natural to drink hot.

About 10 minutes later, I lifted the lid, and sure enough, bowls of yellowish ginger milk are fragrant, and I put a spoon on it without sinking, and that's it.

These are all dictated by Shen Jiayan, and Nanny Cheng personally operates them.

When it was ready, Shen Jiayan couldn't wait to bring over a bowl, first scooped up a spoonful and put it into his mouth, it was fragrant and sweet with the unique spiciness of ginger, and the whole person was refreshed.

After eating a bowl, the tip of the nose is sweating slightly, which is really refreshing.

She enjoyed eating it herself, and she didn't forget to let Nanny Cheng and Huzi have a taste too.

Sure enough, everyone was full of praise.

But at this moment, Dongguang Village is in trouble.

Because the villagers from the sugar workshop in the town came back with news that knocked out the whole village.

Shen Jiayan and Mu Pojun actually divorced three years ago?So Shen Jiayan went to the county not long after she went to the town. It was one reason to work for the magistrate's wife, and more importantly, she and Mu Pojun separated.

Everyone expressed shock and incomprehension!
Is Shen Jiayan crazy?Finally, the man came back, and the first few children were well-raised.

The most important thing is that they all moved to the town to live alone, and even bought servants to serve as rich wives. They don't have to serve their mother-in-law, and they can be their own masters. This is simply the dream life of a married woman in the world!

She actually divorced?This brain can't do this without a dozen tanks of water!
At present, everyone in the village grabbed the villager who came back, so Zhu Damao asked, is the news true?Play for fun, make trouble for trouble, don't joke about business!

Zhu Damao himself was still in a daze. He couldn't believe his ears when he heard the news.

When I got home, my first reaction was to tell my mother-in-law Bai the news.

Bai Shi was also dumbfounded!The mother and son looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Zhu Laosan's daughter-in-law heard the news of the birth, and she exclaimed, which shocked the whole family.

The news was not hidden, first the Zhu family, and then the whole village knew about it.

Compared with other people in the village, the Zhu family has more regrets!Especially Mrs. Zhu, if, if she had known that Shen Jiayan would be separated from Mu Pojun, she would not have been in a hurry. After being coaxed by Mrs. Mu, she panicked and killed her daughter!

Otherwise, wait a few more months, wait for them to reunite, and then let my daughter slowly figure out a way, maybe she can still be a decent lady!
It's good now, it's cheap, the second son of the Mu family, that bastard, works as a maid for the second wife of the Mu family, how can it not make people feel distressed?
I really want to regret it!
Mrs. Zhu fainted on the spot.

As for the second room of the Mu family, after hearing the news, Mrs. Mu's first reaction was to yell at Mu Pojun as a white-eyed wolf and unfilial son. She, a mother, didn't know about such a big matter, and she simply didn't take her seriously.

Mu Er Er's thoughts of being suppressed began to stir again, the eldest brother left, and Shen Jiayan divorced.

In the past, the villagers stopped them from going to the town to look for the three wild species, because the villagers relied on Shen Jiayan's sugar workshop, and their life has become much easier in recent years.

So for Shen Jiayan's sake, they were not allowed to bother those three bastards.

Mu Laoer also knew that he was not as powerful as others, so he naturally bowed his head, and had to let those three bastards go, seeing them live a good life, he couldn't take advantage of it at all.

But now that Shen Jiayan is reunited, and those three bastards have no backer, isn't it the same as before, let them handle it?

Thinking about coming to the mansion in that town, what was said to be Shen Jiayan's dowry back then was all an excuse!

I just don't want them to take advantage of it!

Now their life is really sad, no matter what, this big injection of money cannot be let go in vain!

It's just that it's not easy for them to leave the village now. Everyone in the village is staring at them, especially the Zhu family next door. After Zhu Xiaomei entered Mu's house, the two families did not seem to be married, but rather feuded.

Those little brats of Zhu's family were ordered by Li Zheng to watch over their house every day when they had nothing to do, and they were not allowed to step out of the village, otherwise they would call for someone.

Elder Mu's eyes rolled, and he decided to coax little sister Zhu to go back to her natal family. No matter what method is used, at least let Zhu's family turn a blind eye and let them go out of the village.

When he got to the town and lived in the big house, Li Zheng couldn't control him anymore.

After Zhu Xiaomei gave birth to a son, she didn't have a good confinement period, and her body completely collapsed.

Mu Laoer is someone who doesn't cherish what she gets, and she doesn't have the heart to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, so her life is getting more and more difficult.

Her natal family also broke ties with her. Even if they were next door, when they saw her, their noses were not noses, and their eyes were not eyes.

Fortunately, Mrs. Zhu secretly helped her occasionally, so she reluctantly raised her son.

Now she has no other hope, and her former husband's family and son have also cut off contact with her, and she is not allowed to look for two more sons.

The two sons at the front have also learned a little bit, knowing that she is shameless and wants to be a concubine, and they don't look at her like a mother, but like an enemy.

The only thing she can count on now is Mu's second son and her youngest son.

In the past two years, in order to support the youngest son, he had to accept the reality and tried his best to please Mu Lao Er, so that Mu Lao Er would favor their mother and son and have a way to survive.

So Mu Lao Er came over, talked to her, and promised that if he really came to the town and got the big yard, he would only take her and the youngest son there, and leave the yellow-faced lady Guo here to take care of Mu Lao Niang.

They live alone in the town and live a good life with someone to serve them.

Just this sentence moved Zhu Xiaomei's heart.

For the sake of her son and her own future, she gritted her teeth and agreed.

Seeing her so obedient and obedient, Mu Laoer was naturally proud, so he calmed her down and stayed in her room at night.

Guo was so angry that he threw pots and bowls outside and scolded him for half the night.

He only talked about Lizheng. After hearing the news, his first reaction was whether the cooperation between Dongguang Village and Shen Jiayan could be maintained in the future?
You know, in the past two or three years, the people in the village have grown a lot of sugar beet, not to mention that they have recruited many people from various families in the village to work in the sugar workshop.

Like Li's family, and their family, because they help Shen Jiayan's sugar factory, they not only get a monthly salary, but also have various benefits during the holidays.

Especially at the end of the year, every family can give a catty of brown sugar and half a catty of brown sugar.

Just these two, that's rare!
Most people leave the brown sugar to eat at home, and sell the brown sugar, which is also an income!

In addition, I heard Zhu Damao say that I overheard Zhuzi and Gousheng saying that they had received a letter from the owner, saying that the sugar workshop would stop paying dividends to the three siblings of the Mu family every year in the future, saying that the three siblings had a falling out with Shen Jiayan.

Zhu Damao was so scared that he asked for something to do at home, so he asked for leave and came home.

Just talking about the previous thing, the whole village was blown up. He knew the seriousness anyway. He only told Bai's words, and Bai's also had no master.

This is what Li Zheng is worried about, if the relationship between Shen Jiayan and the three brothers and sisters of the Mu family remains the same, he will not worry about it.

But this turned their faces, which made it difficult for them to be caught in the middle.

One is a food and clothing parent, and the other is not bad either. After being admitted as a scholar, many people in the village have their lands under Mu Tianze's name, so they can't be offended!

Li Zheng felt that his hair was going to turn gray, and he couldn't think of a way to take care of both sides.

When the people in the village were panicking, the three brothers and sisters of the Mu family returned to the village.
