Juan Wang's Little Lady: Nongmen hunters work hard to plow the fields

Chapter 63 The Slaughtering Plate
The closer to the end of the year, the deserted Zhangjia Village becomes.Farmers have already entered the slack season, and the men in the village have nothing to do, so they gather together all day long to drink and gamble.

But Su Lian still has many things to do.On the one hand, he continued to urge Aji and Gouer to study, and on the other hand, he was copying books for part-time work.The years of living in the mountains are really long. After finishing these things, there is still a lot of free time.Su Lian made arrangements for the meat, wine, and snacks to be eaten during the Chinese New Year.

The daughter-in-law cooks different kinds of food every day, and tastes like a flowing water feast. It is the first time for Zhang Jianshan to see many foods, and he has never even heard of them before.

For example, separate the egg yolk from the egg white, beat the egg white into foam, add it to the flour separately, and then bake it. It turns out that a cake as soft as cotton can be baked.

For another example, the pigskin that is usually discarded is used to soak hair, boiled and let it cool, and it becomes a crystal-like skin jelly.

There are also cheeses, snow cakes, rice sausages, rice noodles, etc... I really don't know how she can fit so many recipes in her little head, even the imperial chef doesn't have so many tricks.

Every time the lady starts to toss with these new gadgets, she will inevitably instruct him to be his assistant, and Zhang Jianshan is also happy to be ordered by her.Firstly, the cannibalism is the shortest, secondly, Aji is happy, and thirdly... when she dispatched him, she looked exactly like his wife, which made him feel at ease.

Su Lian cooked a lot of food, and saved the unfinished food for Chinese New Year snacks, and gave it to the villagers in exchange for a good reputation.

Zhang's new house and Yan Heng's other courtyard are still under construction, but some craftsmen have to go home to prepare for the New Year, so the construction slows down.Seeing that she would not be able to live in a new house before the New Year, Su Lian was no longer in a hurry.

Ever since Yan Heng was besieged by the village women last time, he didn't dare to come to Zhangjia Village for almost a month, but the letters kept going.

Yan Heng kept reporting the progress of the plan to Su Lianian under the pretext of delivering letters for Su Lianiang.Every time he sent someone, Su Lian would send two copies of the newly prepared food to Qinghe County, one for Yan Heng and one for her mother.Yan Heng got fresh food, so the letters came more frequently.

The days before the year passed steadily day by day, Zhang Jianshan saw that the lady was just going around the child and the stove every day, she didn't seem to care much about revenge, and she didn't seem to be in a hurry.

Until two days before the winter solstice, Yan Heng came to the door in person.

Yan Hengda also wears a moon-white gown in winter, with a silver-white fox fur and a brocade hat on the outside.Su Lian thought, he really looks good in this outfit, but I don't know what this outfit looks like on Brother Jianshan.

I'm afraid it's not worse than Yan Heng.Brother Jianshan's skin is darker than Yan Heng's, but his eyebrows are a bit more heroic than Yan Heng's.Come to think of it, he should look better in a dark color like Xuanqing.

Yan Heng saluted Zhang Jianshan and Su Lian respectively, and then, in front of Zhang Jianshan, handed a kit to Su Lian.

Yan Heng said solemnly: "Wending has already made preparations for what my wife ordered Wending to do. Everything is ready, and I only owe Dongfeng. If my wife is also ready, I can leave for Qinghe County in a few days."

Su Lian took the kit, glanced at Zhang Jianshan, and said awkwardly: "You already know?"

Zhang Jianshan smiled lightly: "Don't you still want to hide it from me? When did I say that Lian'er is not allowed to take back my things?"

Su Lian squeezed the kit in her hand, bowed her head and said, "I'm afraid you will blame me for being too scheming."

Zhang Jianshan said: "Lian'er said that greedy people will not return what belongs to you with both hands. To get it back, there are two ways to take it by chance or take it by force. If Lian'er can take it by hand, it may not be the best policy."

Zhang Jianshan asked the lady to do it freely. Firstly, it was a knot in her heart that had to be untied; secondly, he also wanted to see how far her methods could go.

Su Lian said: "Seeing Brother Shan standing on Lian'er's side, Lian'er is satisfied. Since that's the case, Master Yan, we will go to Qinghe County in the future."

Yan Heng took a look at Zhang Jianshan, and seeing that he had no objection, he cupped his hands and said, "Decree! We must obey!"

***
In Qinghe County before the New Year's Eve, there was still an endless stream of vehicles, horses and pedestrians.It's just that this year's Chinese New Year is different from previous years.There has been a rumor circulating in the city. This rumor has been so loud that it has aroused discussions among all the lords and wives, even street vendors and pawns.

Rumor has it that a rich man from nowhere came to Qinghe County.This rich man is doing a very big business, he found a treasure in Qiyun Mountain, as long as he sells it out, he will get ten times and a hundred times the profit.

The rich man wanted to establish a foothold in Qinghe County to start a business, so he wanted to raise funds locally, that is, to find someone to share in the business with him.But he doesn't accept everyone's chips, he has to be someone with a noble life and a harmonious relationship with him.

Rumors spread one after another in the city that the county lieutenant lady invested ten gold pieces and got fifteen gold pieces in just one month.I also heard that Lu Mingxuan's Yan Heng family invested a hundred gold at one time, and got back two hundred gold a month later.There are also many noble men who boasted that they knew this noble man from outside and drank together from time to time, and that noble man's Zhuangzi was five miles outside the city.

Zhao Yan and Zhao Wanzhen invested ten taels of silver through a line one month ago, and got 15 taels the next month.When the two of them add up, who else can afford this [-]% interest rate except the nobleman?Zhao Wanzhen blamed her cousin for not discussing with her beforehand, otherwise she should have invested all the money in her hand in one go in the last month.Now that so many rich people are competing to invest money in that noble dealer, it is not known whether they are willing to accept their principal again.

Zhao Yan was also annoyed, and asked his former informant many times, but the other party only said that such a great opportunity does not come from time to time, and advised him to take advantage of it, and there may not be a next time.Zhao Yan is not willing to let go, he can't wait to find that informant every day.The informant was so annoyed that he promised to inform them if the nobleman raised money again next month, but the next time he raised money, he would no longer charge idle money, and he had to invest more than a hundred taels, otherwise he would not even be able to enter the door of the nobleman.

Zhao Wanzhen heard that there was hope, and also heard that the nobleman would charge more than one hundred taels, and felt somewhat uneasy.Zhao Yan scolded: "It was you who said that you invested too little, but now you are the one who is reluctant to part with the money. By next month, every household will have doubled the money, so you can take the five taels of money to eat buns." Bar!"

Hearing what her cousin said, Zhao Wanzhen didn't fall asleep for several nights. She slapped her thigh for the last time and pooled up all the money saved at home, about a hundred taels.Zhao Yan asked again: "Is there any more?" Zhao Wanzhen said anxiously: "I want more? If I want more, I only have to press the deed of the house!"

Zhao Yan said: "So what if you put it all in? Although you are now the head of the family, the money belongs to Su after all. If you put it in all at once and double the property of the Su family, then it will all be yours, and it will be yours for the rest of your life." There is no need to wait on Su Qinming anymore!"

Naturally, Zhao Wanzhen didn't want to serve that sour Juren. After being a concubine for so many years, she was already impatient.In the future, if she takes this money and turns around to marry her cousin, and the two live together, she can still be a big lady.

After such a calculation, she made a decision. 100 taels is a fight, and 200 taels is a fight.That being the case, it is better to fight big than to fight small.Simply mortgage the house deed and land deed secretly, get out the money, and invest it all at once.
