Unlimited supplies: Bringing space to the supermarket to keep the right minister
Chapter 254 This is an extremely strong person
When the Yu family bought land in Peach Blossom Village, it had already caused commotion. Later, when they built the house and hired people, it aroused the envy of everyone in the village, because the house built by the Yu family was really too big.
In the courtyards of the three entrances, each courtyard is built with green bricks and large tiled houses, even the walls of the courtyard are built with bricks.
At the beginning, Yu Changhe wanted to build the courtyard wall very high, but Qi Li from Taohua Village was reminding Yu Changhe that the courtyard wall should not be built too high.
It is not suitable for the courtyard wall to be too high or too low. Generally, the height of a normal family courtyard wall is about half a foot.
If the courtyard wall is too low, it will not be able to block the evil spirits from entering the house. If it is too high, it will block sunlight and ventilation, which will have a negative impact.
Half a battle is equivalent to about [-] meters now. Yu Xiaolian felt that it was a little short, because it was easy for people to climb over the wall and enter, so they asked people to add barbed wire to it.
It's a pity that the barbed wire she made to order in the blacksmith's shop has been confiscated by the government for the same reason, the country lacks iron.
Your grandma has such a leg, the barbed wire she custom-made is made of low-quality iron, is it possible that you can take it back and use it to forge a sharp sword?
Yu Xiaolian can guarantee that if these irons are taken back, they will not be of much use in the war in the south.
It's all the lower-level officials who exploit the common people in different ways.
The Yu family moved today, and there were many onlookers outside the door, including men, women and children.
When building the house, the coolies hired by Yu Changhe were people from Taohua Village. Therefore, every household in Taohua Village has benefited from Yu's family and earned a lot of money.
Although it's hard money, it's hard to find a job right now. Those who can keep their homes and rely on the land can earn forty Wen a day. The people in Taohua Village are still very grateful to Yu Changhe.
After a few months of getting along, Yu Changhe also became familiar with most of the people in the village. When everything was settled, Yu Changhe proposed to treat the villagers to a happy meal.
Logically speaking, the joy of housewarming should be celebrated, but right now food is in short supply, and if the whole village is invited to eat, then their cartload of grain may have to be half-loaded at once, Sun disagrees.
What Sun means is that it is enough for the family to have a meal together and celebrate.
Yu Xiaolian's meaning is the same as Sun's, now is a special period, not a time to show off.
His wife and daughter disagreed, so Yu Changhe had no choice but to give up, but the next day he still offered a generous gift and went to Qi Lizheng's house to thank Qi Lizheng for all the help he had given him since he settled down.
Yu Xiaolian made the decision and gave one of the two cows to his uncle.
When Sun Fengshou was happily taking the cattle home, he was seen by Sun Dalin's wife next door.
Sun Dalin's daughter-in-law felt bitter in her heart, even the cows and horses, the Yu family had six heads, if they knew they would harvest one for Sun Feng, why didn't they know how to give one to his family?
In the past, Sun Dalin's daughter-in-law had already had the cheek to go to Yu's house to ask for it, but last night after eating porridge, her father-in-law specifically criticized her by name. Father-in-law got angry.
Of the eight houses, Father Sun and his five sons lived in them, and there were two more, which Father Sun gave to Sun Manying and Sun Mantao, so Sun Dalin’s wife was very unhappy, and her third son also got married, so why not His third son's house?
Sun Dalin's daughter-in-law thought that Sun Wulin would not come back. Sun Wulin's daughter-in-law should not occupy a house for nothing, but should give up the house to her third son, Sun Manbo. Because of this, she was severely scolded by Sun Fourth Master.
Fourth Master Sun loved Sun Wulin the most. He hoped that Sun Wulin would come back alive. Someone cursed his youngest son to die outside. How could he not be angry?
Taking a ten thousand step back, even if his youngest son died, then his youngest son would leave behind four children. Why can't Wulin's wife take up a house with four children?
As for Man Bozi's lack of a house, Fourth Master Sun handled it in this way. He asked Man Bozi's family to huddle with Sun Dalin temporarily. In Sun Dalin's house, apart from the two of them, there was only one daughter. There were three people in total, and the three lived in one room , very generous.
Sun Manyu was not happy, very unhappy, living in the same room with his parents, he was not happy at all, and the third brother's family also lived in, wouldn't there be no place to turn around.
Besides, this place is different from Zhengbei, there is not even a heated kang, it’s fine if there is no kang, and there are no decent beds, they sleep on wooden bunks.
Sun Manyu didn't want to share the same big bunk with so many people, so he quietly pulled her mother over, "Mother, I see that there are many empty houses next door to Uncle Fengshou's house, six big tile-roofed houses, and he and his wife are the only ones living there. Can we borrow his house to live in?"
When she first moved in yesterday, she visited Yu's house and Sun Fengshou's house, and she was very envious of Sun Wuye's house, where she could live with Yu Changhe.
Living in Yu's house not only eats well, but also sleeps on a warm kang when it's cold, unlike them who can only sleep on bare and cold wooden boards.
Sun Manyu couldn't understand, why did her grandfather set up his own family?Isn't it good to eat and drink for nothing with the Yu family?
Thinking of the clean and bright house of the Yu family, the spacious big bed with carvings, and looking at his own shabby thatched house, and the low Datong shop, Sun Manyu became more and more angry as he looked at it. She didn't want to live here.
"Mother, I'm going to live at Uncle Fengshou's house, you go and tell him."
Sun Manyu now has some self-knowledge. She knows that Yu Xiaolian doesn't like her, so she doesn't dare to mention the matter of going to Yu Xiaolian's house to live in. She simply puts her mind on Sun Fengshou's house next door.
Sun Manyu felt that it was a good idea for Sun Fengshou to live with him. Sun Dalin's wife thought it over and thought it was okay.
But what Sun Dalin's wife didn't expect was that Sun Fengshou, who had always been honest and honest, rejected her immediately without even thinking about it.
The reason is that he is going to marry a wife soon, and after marrying a wife, he has to have children, and he will have many children, and these houses are not enough for his son to live in.
Sun Dalin's daughter-in-law didn't know that she didn't lend Sun Fengshou a donkey cart back then, which made him hold grudges until now. She thought that the reason why Sun Fengshou was like this was that Yu Xiaolian had asked Sun Fengshou to guard against them long ago.
Sun Fengshou refused to let Sun Manyu stay with him, and Sun Dalin's daughter-in-law didn't dare to make it public when she came back. She only warned her daughter to be honest and not to make a fuss.
If her father-in-law knows that they have other ideas, it will inevitably be another training.
Fourth Master Sun and Fourth Grandma Sun closed the door in broad daylight, discussing the matter of buying land in the house.
Although Fourth Master Sun left behind twelve acres of land from the original owner Li's family under Yu Changhe's suggestion, he had a large family and twelve acres of land was not enough to feed their entire family.
Wasteland is cheap, and Fourth Master Sun wants to buy some more wasteland. Anyway, he has a lot of family members, and all they have is labor. Others can only open a few cents a day. If his family mobilizes, it will not cost much to open an acre of land a day thing.
The wasteland only needs two taels of silver per mu. Fourth Master Sun calculated his savings and decided to buy another ten mu of wasteland.
Fourth Master Sun made a decision, so he went to Yu's house to find Yu Changhe, and wanted Yu Changhe to take him to the village's official home.
When the Li family left, winter wheat had already been planted in the field. Therefore, Fourth Master Sun bought the Li family's [-] acres of land at a high price. It cost a total of forty-eight taels of silver, plus twenty-three taels for the house. Fourth Master Sun spent a total of seventy-one taels.
Yu Changhe didn't expect that Fourth Master Sun still had money to buy the land. It seems that his old mother-in-law was right, Fourth Master Sun had saved a lot of money over the years.
The money that Fourth Master Sun saved was spent wisely. Although he is a bit picky, he is still a very serious old man.
Fourth Master Sun expressed his position and attitude while walking to Lizheng's house with Yu Changhe.
He said that if there were thick-skinned people in his family who went to Yu's house to fight the autumn wind without knowing the taste, ask Yu Changhe to ignore them and just tell him when he turns back, and he will deal with them.
He also said that if it was really difficult, he would come to the door and talk about it in person, and he would not let others pass the message to the Yu family.
At this time, Yu Changhe admired Fourth Master Sun's character, he was an extremely strong person.
Therefore, after helping Fourth Master Sun buy the wasteland, Yu Changhe specially sent two catties of salt to the Sun family.
Yesterday, because Sun Dalin's daughter-in-law came to beg for a cart of grain, Sun Chunfang was angry, so she didn't mention the matter of sending salt to the Sun family.
This salt is the large-grained salt that Yu Xiaolian took out from the supermarket, because the salt in the supermarket is much whiter than the ancient salt, and Yu Xiaolian specially fried the salt with a low fire until it turned light yellow, so that it would not affect the consumption , and much like the ancient salt particles.
Yu Changhe not only sent two catties of salt, but also brought some dried vegetables to Fourth Master Sun. These dried vegetables were dried in the backyard by Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Sun in the summer. There were shredded beans, dried potatoes and dried radishes.
Yu Changhe also took some for Fourth Master Sun, but he didn't take much of each, because his family didn't have many of them.
Fourth Master Sun gratefully accepted. In the past, he was very withdrawn and proud. His principle was that I would not take advantage of you, and you should not try to take advantage of me. But now he is taking too much advantage of the Yu family.
Fourth Master Sun secretly kept Yu Changhe's kindness in his heart.
Thinking of the first vat of wine brewed next year, he must send a jar to Yu Changhe.
After Yu Changhe left, Fourth Master Sun asked Grandma Sun to save a small packet of salt, and put the rest away, so as not to get wet.
When Yu Changhe sent salt, Grandma Sun was also very touched. Salt was expensive, and it cost three or two dollars a catty. The two packs of salt Yu Changhe sent were worth three acres of wasteland.
Fourth Master Sun called his sons over, "Do you remember where the land was measured just now? From today on, you guys will dig the land. Ten acres of land will be turned over in about ten days. After the land is dug, don't stay at home." Laying down, go to the city and ask where there are bag-carrying jobs, running hall jobs...
As for the women, go to the embroidery building in the city to find work, those who can embroider, those who are clumsy and can't embroider, just get shoe soles at home and make cotton clothes..."
Here, Fourth Master Sun made clear arrangements for the men and women in the family, while Fifth Master Sun asked his two sons to help Yu Changhe plow the land, and asked the three daughters-in-law in the family to take turns doing laundry and cooking. , chopping firewood, and feeding livestock.
Yu Xiaolian only stayed in Peach Blossom Village for one night, and then returned to Los Angeles with a few grandchildren from Mr. Sun Wuye's family.
Twelve-year-old Sun Mancang is very resistant to entering the academy. He thinks that when he grows up, he should go to work in the fields like adults to reduce the burden on the family and increase income, so that in a few years he can have more money. Money to marry a daughter-in-law.
I have to say that the ancients were really persistent about marrying a daughter-in-law.
There are many unmarried people in modern society, but almost none of the ancients did not want to marry. When they reached the age of marriage, they did not have a marriage partner, which would make them feel ashamed and be ridiculed by neighbors and even relatives and friends.
Yu Xiaolian persuaded Sun Mandun and Sun Manfeng, but failed to convince Sun Mancang.
Sun Mancang knew that studying was very expensive, so he refused to go for anything. A quarter of light beam repairs cost two taels of silver, not counting the money for buying books, paper, ink, pens and inkstones, and food and clothing.
It costs twenty taels of silver to study for a year, at least. Sun Mancang thinks that selling him is not worth twenty taels of silver.
Sun Mancang refused to accept hard and soft, Yu Xiaolian really had no choice but to stop forcing him.
Yu Xiaolian did not send Sun Mancang back to Taohua Village, but arranged him in Xiangyang Lane, let him do the work within his ability, and promised to give him fifty yuan a day as wages.
Xiangyang Lane does not have much rough work, feeding horses, chopping firewood, and sweeping the yard. Besides these, Sun Mancang also acts as a doorman.
Since Yu Xiaolian hosted the wedding banquet for the school officials, Taotaoju's business has improved a bit compared to before, but it still hasn't reached the summer turnover.
What is the situation in Los Angeles now?
You say it is deserted, it is not deserted, the streets are bustling with people, everyone is in a hurry.
Call it lively, but it’s not. The original wonton stalls and roasted sweet potato stalls on the street are gone, and many shops are closed.
Yu Xiaolian paid attention and found that most of the closed shops were food shops.
Coarse grains that cost seven or eight yuan a catty in the past are now sold for fifty yuan. What is the concept?
It means that in the past it was enough food for ten days, but now it can only be eaten for one day.
While Yu Xiaolian was still pitying the common people, a new tax announcement came again.
The officials beat the gong to notify the street by street that the tax for the shops had increased again.
It's hard, it's really hard, Yu Xiaolian is doing business without money, and she feels that she can't stand it, let alone other businesses.
After the tax officer checked the account books, Yu Xiaolian was very distressed, and paid another nine taels of silver in business taxes.
Zhang Zhihe also just finished paying the business tax. After paying the tax, he discussed with his father, closed the shop, and went to the government to cancel the business license document. After the cancellation, they are not merchants, so they don't have to pay more than others Tax.
In fact, at that time, if Yu Xiaolian hadn't ordered a large number of tin wine bottles at once, his family would have been on the verge of closing the shop. Now that the Yu family doesn't sell wine, they naturally don't use tin wine bottles. They have no business Can do it, but still have to pay expensive business tax, Zhang Zhihe's family can't bear it.
The wine set made by his family is an expensive wine set that only rich people would use, but every family has a set of this thing, which is enough to last a lifetime. It is not a consumable, so after the market is saturated, the tinware business has been sluggish.
Right now, Zhang Zhihe decided to close the door for a while.
As soon as the Zhang family's tinware shop closed, only Yu Xiaolian's Taotaoju was left open on their street.
On this day, Yu Xiaolian just came back from the academy and Mrs. Gao told her, "Master came this morning and said that uncle and master's marriage has been settled on the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month. The master asked the girl to go back when she has time."
In the courtyards of the three entrances, each courtyard is built with green bricks and large tiled houses, even the walls of the courtyard are built with bricks.
At the beginning, Yu Changhe wanted to build the courtyard wall very high, but Qi Li from Taohua Village was reminding Yu Changhe that the courtyard wall should not be built too high.
