Da Song a knife

Zhaoyin listened to these words that no one had ever said to him in a daze, and didn't even know the tears were falling.

Zhang Sijiu patted her on the shoulder: "Zhaoyin, being poor is not scary. What is terrible is letting the poor lead you by the nose, forgetting what you really want to do and what kind of person you want to be."

After saying this, Zhang Sijiu didn't say any more, and went out with water.

My family is poor and there are not so many water cups. These cups are sawn out of bamboo tubes and polished carefully. They look very simple, but they are also very useful.

The water is Zhang Sijiu's candied pear water cooked early in the morning - most of the pears these days are not water-soaked, plump, delicate and refreshing like those carefully bred varieties in modern times.Rather rough and not that tasty at all.

These pears are only eaten by children who like to eat sweet.

Most of them are fed to pigs, or used as medicine - the pear paste candy for relieving cough and nourishing lungs is the essence boiled with this original pear.

Zhang Sijiu bought a basket and prepared to make pear paste candy.

Just tried boiling water today.

The pear water has a faint sweetness of pears, which is not obvious, but only after careful tasting.And Zhang Sijiu didn't add any extra sugar, just added pear pieces.

The Xu family drank it, and they all thought it was not bad, and they praised it again.

So, looking at Zhang Sijiu's eyes, Guo became more loving and determined: What a good candidate for a daughter-in-law!

Seeing her sister-in-law's gaze like this, Mrs. Xu wanted to say a few words, but felt that it would be wrong to point it out, so in the end she could only pretend that nothing had happened.

As a result, when Mrs. Guo was helping Mrs. Xu cook, she took the initiative to mention her other son, taro: "You don't even know, but he came back and told me that Jiuniang's Roujiamo is delicious! And It is the first one sold out every day! He admires Jiuniang."

Only then did Xu remember: That's right, my nephew is studying in the county.

It's just that I didn't expect that Taro had paid attention to Zhang Sijiu?
However, Zhang Sijiu didn't know if he recognized the taro?

Xu thought to herself, she turned around and told Zhang Sijiu, and then went to sell the marinated eggs, and don't ask for money for the taro every day, and she will supply her separately.Otherwise, how ugly would a relative look like?
Just when Mrs. Xu was distracted, Mrs. Guo was already looking forward to the future: "Jiu Niang is so capable, the lives of these two people will not be the same in the future!"

Mrs. Xu hurriedly held down her sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, the child is still young. And if Taro learns in the future, he will be a high-ranking official. You can't marry casually. Look again, look again."

Mrs. Guo winked her eyes at Mrs. Xu: "I know what you are afraid of, don't worry, I'm here. Even if Taro becomes a high-ranking official, she doesn't dare to dislike Jiuniang!"

Xu didn't know what to say.In the end, I could only laugh dryly: "Sister-in-law, take a look again. The children are still young, so it's uncertain."

After speaking, Mrs. Xu hurried to do other things, but she panicked in her heart: Why did the sister-in-law fall in love with Jiuniang?
Anyway, no matter what everyone's thoughts are, everyone is too busy.Especially when I really started working, I just feel that there are not enough people everywhere, and I don't have time to talk about other things.

After working for five days in a row, a large and bright kitchen was repaired.

It was really big, about the same size as the three rooms where Zhang Sijiu lived, but the workmanship was obviously rough.There is no partition inside, just two big stoves with two big pots on top: the pots are custom-made, and the caliber is so big that Zhang Sijiu can lie in it.Wok-style, with an open bottom and a large capacity.

Just these two pots cost Xu a lot of money.When giving the money, Xu was so distressed that she clutched the money bag and wanted to regret it on the spot.

The stove was covered with yellow mud, and I didn't dare to burn it directly. I had to let it dry for a few days, otherwise it would be easy to burn.

Next to the stove is the operating table, and Zhang Sijiu asked Mrs. Xu to pay for a large stone slab on the operating table.It looks clean.

In addition, there is a large water tank and a drainage system - so that the waste water from cleaning the food can be poured directly into the broken tank in the corner. A hole is dug under the tank, connected with a large bamboo tube, and it is directly stretched out of the house. The water drained into the ditch and rushed directly outside the courtyard wall.

A small pit was dug outside the courtyard wall, which can be used to store the dirty water. It can be used for watering the ground or whatever.

After the overall effect came out, Mrs. Guo was simply envious: "This is so much better. It looks comfortable and easy to use! You don't need to carry the water out to pour it out. It's just a waste, and the swill can be fed to pigs."

Mrs. Xu is also very satisfied: "That won't work, the pigs will not be able to eat the ones that have been added with plant ash. Besides, that fat pig was raised by San Lang here, so he dare not feed it casually."

Guo knew that Sanlang was Yang Yuanding, the youngest son of the magistrate's family, so he made up his mind to visit more in the future: what if he could get in touch with the county magistrate's family?It's good to be familiar!

However, for Zhang Sijiu, this kitchen is good, but it is far from achieving the effect in her mind, and it can only be used for improvisation.

What really made her look forward to was the kang.

The experiment on the kang was conducted in her room.

After all, Yang's side is the main house, and there are many things, so it is not easy to break ground. In Yang's house, every room is occupied by people, so it is not easy to move.

Just here Zhang Sijiu lived with three little children, and they moved together into an empty house, squeezed together for a day, and finished the kang.

According to Zhang Sijiu's plan, the earthen kang was built for one room—although the earthen kang is good, it takes up a lot of space. To keep it warm, you have to keep burning the fire, so just build one room. She and Zhaoyin can just sleep in the collective dormitory.When it's warmer, we'll separate the houses.

The kang took up almost half of the room, and wooden piles were specially built to support and reinforce it for fear of collapsing.

After it is done, anyway, it is very spectacular when you look at it suddenly.

Zhang Sijiu placed the stove near the window, and the chimney climbed up the corner.

Although it has just been finished and cannot be tested with fire, just looking at the appearance, Zhang Sijiu feels that it is 80.00% similar to the ones he has seen in the pictures.

That stove, Zhang Sijiu has already planned, can be used to heat hot water, so that hot water can be used 24 hours a day in winter.

Waiting for the opening of the kang, every day is full of anticipation and full of suffering.

Not only Zhang Sijiu is like this, but other members of the family are also like this.

After the work was finished, the Xu family members stopped coming.But it was agreed that when they started using the heated kang, they would come over to have a look, and if it worked, they would get another one when they went back.

Even Yang Yuanding planned to personally test the effect of firing the kang for the first time.

On the day of anticipation, Zhang Sijiu welcomed an old acquaintance midwife again.

The midwife came to introduce business to Zhang Sijiu.
