Cheng Mingyi shook his head, then nodded again, his head shaking.

"Grandma, I don't know either. Anyway, my third uncle gave it to me."

Luo Cuihua opened two oil paper bags, which contained roasted whole lamb and steak. They had been left outside for too long, and they had lost their heat and were frozen to the bone.

"Then let's heat it up first. The third family's family will take it and heat it up. The second family's family will wash the dishes and chopsticks. Wang's and Zhang's will wash and chop the vegetables. Let's have another meal today. "Luo Cuihua stopped asking, and she couldn't find out even if she asked her grandson.

She guessed two possibilities. One was bought by her third son. However, she heard them say that roasted whole sheep were only sold in Fucheng at night. The other possibility was that it was given by the Crown Prince of Zhou. This possibility maximum.

The kitchen, which was still spacious, became cramped with the addition of a few of them.

Luo Cuihua said rather disgustedly: "You guys go out, don't get in the way here."

"Grandma?!" Cheng Mingxin couldn't believe it.

Cheng Minglian was stunned, and then asked: "Are we disliked by grandma?"

"Isn't it normal to dislike you guys?" Cheng Mingyi replied to his younger brother, then said: "Second cousin, let's go, let's go find our younger cousin."

"Row."

Cheng Mingzhi ignored his two cousins ​​and left with his eldest cousin.

As soon as they left, Cheng Minglian and Cheng Mingxin started shouting, "Brother/first cousin, second cousin, wait for us."

Before he finished speaking, people rushed out of the kitchen, leaving Luo Cuihua alone, shaking her head and sighing, what is going on!

"Two brats, they don't know how to be safe and they yell a lot."

Li Lianhua and Feng Juhua apologized. They also felt that their son was embarrassed, but they gave birth to him.

Chen Daya transferred the warm food in the innermost pot to the pot on the middle stove, added water to the pot, put the steamer on; put the steak and roasted lamb in it.

"Second sister-in-law, heat the pot inside over high heat; wait for the pot outside to stir-fry. When the vegetables are cooked, the pot inside will also be hot."

"I know." Feng Juhua bypassed them to light the fire.

Mrs. Wang and Ms. Zhang lowered their heads to wash and chop vegetables. The kitchen was busy in full swing.

Cheng Mingyi took his brothers to Canghaiyuan, where Cheng Yuanxi and Cheng Mingli were chatting with Mingyi. After Cheng Mingli finished talking about what he had seen in Fucheng, Cheng Yuanxi glanced at Cheng Mingyi and the others walking to the door, and swallowed what he was about to say.

He turned to look at the four of them, "Why are you here?"

Cheng Mingyi and others walked into the courtyard with smiles on their faces and sat down in the pavilion where they were.

In the center of the pavilion is a stone table and bench, surrounded by wooden suspended benches.

"Third uncle, our little cousin is here."

"You are here to talk to Mingyi about developing soap, right?" The voice was so light that one could not tell the emotion.

Cheng Mingyi and Cheng Mingzhi felt their hearts twitching, remembering the teachings they had received on the road, and knowing that there was something wrong with them coming here at this time.

"Third uncle, we are anxious." "Yeah." Cheng Yuanxi felt a little better. If he had pretended not to know as usual, he would have suspected that his nephews were pretending to be stupid. "We can talk about soap development later during the meal. , Yiyi, come with us to the front hall; dad bought a lot of soap locusts and came back and figured out how to do it."

Mingyi looked at her father, then at the other brothers, and nodded gently, "Okay, let's walk."

Cheng Mingli got up regretfully. His buttocks had just gotten hot from sitting and he wanted to move again.

Cheng Yuanxi picked up the basket on his back and took them away from Canghaiyuan and went to the first courtyard; this courtyard was allocated to the big house, and their houses were not separated now, and they shared the same house. If there is a separation of families, the necessary roads can be blocked and the gates of each hospital can be opened.

"The third child is here, come and sit down; Yiyi is also here. Our soap sales are very good this time, and Yiyi is a big contributor to our family." Cheng Dazhu waved to Mingyi, his expression full of kindness.

Mingyi walked forward with her father and brother and watched her father sit on her grandfather's hand. Naturally, her brother sat with her father. As soon as she walked up to her grandfather, she was placed in her father's hand position.

This seat used to be occupied by my grandmother.

She was about to go down, but was stopped by Cheng Dazhu, "Sit down peacefully, you are here just in time to talk about soap making, let your brothers learn more from you; you don't have to work so hard in the future, just leave the soap making to me." Just give you a few brothers."

Cheng Yuanxi frowned slightly, feeling a little repelled; his father's words seemed to be considering Mingyi, but in fact he was thinking about his grandchildren.

In the name of doing good for her daughter, the words she said made people feel uncomfortable.

"Dad, we just came back, why rush? It's not too late to talk after the meal."

Cheng Dazhu glanced at his younger son, the smile in his eyes did not diminish, and followed his words: "Yes, your cousins ​​have gained a lot of experience on this trip. All the soap they brought out has been sold out; tomorrow the leftovers at home will be sold out." If you take away all the money, our family will have another income."

"That's a good thing." Mingyi nodded.

Cheng Mingyi said with a smile: "Little cousin, it's a pity that you didn't go to Fucheng. Those people saw that soap is easy to use, so they were robbing. It happened that Fucheng had just opened the market a few days ago, and not many people took to the streets. Wait until Fucheng When it becomes more lively, our soap will sell better."

"What are you thinking about? Once Fucheng becomes lively, it's not certain whether our family will be selling soap." Cheng Yuanxi had a clear mind and was not carried away by the current little success.

However, others are not sober. One big sale makes them seem to have seen big sales every day in the future.

Cheng Yuanxi poured cold water just right. Mingyi smiled faintly and lowered his head to hide his smile.

Cheng Mingyi and others' smiles froze, and Cheng Mingli changed the topic to smooth things over.

"Grandpa, we sold thirty taels of silver this time. Apart from buying soap, how much is left?"

"Good boy, you reminded grandpa that the money hasn't been counted yet." Cheng Dazhu smiled lovingly, then turned to his sons and grandsons, "Take out the money you earned and count it on the spot; give it to your mother for safekeeping later. Set up an account on the spot.”

In a big family, not setting up accounts can easily confuse everyone's consciousness; what is the most taboo thing for a big family? What I hate the most is that everyone thinks I have made the greatest contribution. I always feel resentful and cannot recognize myself.

This can easily consume the affection between brothers and sisters.

Cheng Yuandong and others took out the money in their pockets and pooled it together, totaling thirty-two taels and four hundred dollars.

There are more than 3,000 pieces of soap, and apart from the copper coins used to buy soap locust and lard oil, the remaining money is 32,000 and 400 yuan. This income is very high for ordinary people. If you save a little, it can be enough for a large family to live for four to five years. .

"All the money is here today. You all go out to help sell it. One tael of silver per room will be used as labor expenses. From now on, you will need to do business in Fucheng from time to time. Every time you come back, a part of the income will be rewarded to you."
