The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 110

No one can wake up the person who is pretending to be asleep. Everyone doesn't quite understand the brain circuit of Big Sister Niu, why is she so confident!

Cuihua can't take care of these things, and receives many honorable families who come to order pepper seedlings every day, and everyone doesn't take them in vain.

As long as it is not someone who uses a particularly large amount, Cuihua will be satisfied one by one, and they will let them pull the seedlings when they agree on the day to pick them up.

Yan Zhong's wife came to Dali Village in person, she took Cuihua's hand and said: "I hope Mrs. Yuan will give me some pepper seedlings. My family also has a village in the suburbs. I can't think of anything to plant. Yuan Madam, don't blame me for coming uninvited!"

Cuihua has dealt with Mrs. Yan several times, and she has a good impression of this straightforward lady. She said with a smile: "Others may come, but if you come, the girl will give you some room. You can turn around." Invite a capable steward to come to my village and learn from steward Li how to grow peppers, including teaching and learning!"

Mrs. Yan took her hand gratefully: "Then I am very grateful to you, sister, and I will follow you to make some money. Now who doesn't know, you two are good at grabbing money!"

"Hey, don't dare to take it seriously, we all deal with mud, earn some land money!"

"Sister, don't be modest, I've heard that Uncle Zhongqin did not miss out on this negotiation in the court, my dear, this Japanese dares to sign for so much money, no one is surprised! "

"Sister, don't brag, my uncle just said one thing, it's only natural to use money to redeem people!"

"Yes, yes, isn't it just and right, hey, it's not the sergeants who fight the hardest."

Mrs. Yan spent a day in Dali Village, ate two meals, and then returned home reluctantly.

The farmers from the three tenant villages also came to look for Steward Li. Every family wanted to grow chili peppers.

Steward Li discussed with Cuihua. When the pepper seedlings come out, they will send [-] peppers to each family. No matter whether they are planted in front of the house or behind the house, the peppers produced will be enough for the family to eat, and they can also save the seeds for themselves. Come, the tenant farmers returned home happily.

Konjac has gradually become popular with the people from Sichuan. Konjac tofu and konjac vermicelli are cooked very well by the people of Shu, adding new dishes to everyone's table.

Cuihua plans to add konjac vermicelli, a new product, to this year's noodle shop. There are a lot of them planted in the forests of the village and by the river, and there is no need for careful management. The wild grows are very good.

Two months later, the Japanese mission came to Daxia again, brought in countless boxes full of snowflakes and silver, and redeemed their generals and warriors.

In addition to compensation, I also signed a treaty that I will not harass Daxia for 100 years, and I will pay tribute to Yunyun Daxia every year.

The generals are very excited, and the whole court is looking forward to the next foreign enemy attack. They are now sharpening their swords and wanting to make a fortune.

The Ministry of Household and the Ministry of War divided up a lot of these compensation funds, and Li Zongbing and Gao Huaiyu who made military exploits were also rewarded with gold ten thousand taels.

This made the other generals jealous, making all kinds of sour remarks.

Xia Hongdi invested half of the money in the shipyard. Now he feels that money at sea is easier to come by, and he can't wait for the navy to sail far.

Now that the war is over and the national treasury is getting richer, the ministers put the draft on the agenda again. After all, it has been the third year since the new emperor ascended the throne, and there has been no general election yet. This time Xia Hongdi did not win After this group of people, agreed.

There will be a round of national auditions first, followed by local recommendations. A prefecture has a quota of 20 candidates, and 1600 prefectures across the country can select [-] beauties.

Now, the pepper seedlings in Dali Village are growing well, and the farmers are staring at them every day, hoping that the seedlings will bloom immediately. The pepper tastes so good.

In addition to rare peppers, everyone is also very interested in the draft. They think that their daughters are beautiful, and they are all thinking of ways to dress them up.

In the fabric shop and the rouge and gouache shop, business is booming.

Empress Gao calmly watched the opening of this prosperous age, she handed over this matter to Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian, she was busy with other things.

In the largest Huangzhuang in the capital, the workshop that was to be used as a dowry for Princess Jingyao was also repaired. The scale was not too large at the beginning. A hundred servants from the Gao family were transferred from the oyster sauce workshop, and Cuihua was among them. The most familiar Qingyuan.

The steward Qingyuan, who has been practicing outside for several years, is paying her respects to the queen in the Kunning Palace, her eyes are red.

"Your Majesty, this time the servant is back, but I will never leave you again. You are the one I miss the most outside!"

"Okay, okay, this time I transferred you back to take care of the dowry workshop for Yaoyao. From now on, you will stay in the capital and don't even think about going anywhere. I will ask Ziyi to take care of your errands."

Qingyuan nodded again and again, she didn't want to get married, she just wanted to be by the master's side, although in the past few years, being a steward outside was very dignified, but her home was still here with the empress.

"Now there are more than a dozen oyster sauce shops in the coastal families, and some of them are bigger than ours. Thanks to our early start, so many opened as soon as we came up. Otherwise, they might be squeezed out by others. .”

"Ma'am, we not only made oyster sauce, but also shrimp paste, kombu and seaweed, and we also dried a lot of them. Anyway, they are all sold, and these businesses can eat them. The profit is still very stable. Now they earn 200 million a year. Two no problem!"

The queen was very relieved. Since the oyster sauce shop opened, she has never been tight in her hands, and she has more confidence in doing things.

All kinds of verbal battles with these women are better than earning a dowry for her daughter.

As soon as Datou and Ertou were on vacation, they took Xiaoshan and Xiaochuan back to Dali Village, and Mr. Fan and Master Wu also came. They were not at all uncomfortable with life in the country.

Now Xiao Liu is talking to his second brother: "Brother, there is a little baa, eat pigs!"

The two heads joked: "Why is this sheep so young after a year of growth?"

Xiao Liu was puzzled, and asked suspiciously: "Not long? Don't you eat?"

Well, the little one still doesn't understand why the sheep don't grow up!Ertou also asked: "Is the pig delicious? Did you keep it for the second brother?"

Xiao Liu swallowed his saliva, and nodded sharply: "The meat is delicious, let the second brother eat together!"

"Oh, why is my Xiaoliu so obedient, she is willing to give meat to my second brother, my second brother tickles me!"

"Hahaha"

We haven't seen each other for ten days, and this meeting is so sweet, led by the elder brother and the second brother, they can play more places.

Xiao Wu's current strength can lift his younger brother up. If they weren't about the same height, they wouldn't be like carrying a chicken.

Master Wu was very jealous of this little doll, and wanted to lure him to be his disciple. He often made toys with knives and sticks for Xiao Wu, and showed off his skills in front of Xiao Wu from time to time. When Xiao Wu saw him, his eyes sparkled.

His destructive power is stronger now. If he accidentally throws his hand on his brother, he can throw a red mark and make him cry.

The appetite is also bigger than that of Xiaoliu, thinking that foreigners drink milk and eat steak to grow taller. These two boys drink milk every day after weaning, and after they start meat, they do not eat less beef. Compared with the three-headed, four-headed and Little Stone, the two brothers are obviously a head taller.

Mrs. Ma often complains about her two daughters-in-law: "The five and six of them are twins. You can't grow up to her, and the family is not short of food and drink. Why can't you raise a baby?"

The second and third children have been back for a few months, and the daughters-in-law are not pregnant with a second child. She is not happy, and she is not as good as the eldest daughter-in-law in giving birth and raising. It is really useless.

The Fan sisters are also troubled, they just can't get pregnant, what can they do, let's eat, the three and four are not picky eaters, the cook in the uncle's house is pretty good.

They fire in their own yard, and they can eat whatever they want, but no one grows tall, and no one grows strong!

Uncle Zhongqin plans to make tiles this year. Recently, he is mainly researching pigments that can be used to glaze tiles. Ceramic tiles must have more functions and more colors.

The residences in the capital are limited, and many low-ranking officials in the capital cannot afford houses. Heiwa has already asked the emperor for an order to set aside dozens of acres of land at the south gate of the capital, on both sides of the official road, and he asked for an order to build Daxia Housing for talents.

It is used to rent or sell to officials who lack housing. He has drawn the structural diagram of the housing, which is a small courtyard house.

The bedrooms are all paved with solid green bricks, the walls are plastered with cement and white ash, and the floor is also plastered with cement to make it very smooth.

The kitchen in the courtyard house is covered with white tiles from the stove to the cabinets. There is a small single room in each bedroom, which is used as a bathroom, and the toilet and shower must be arranged.

The hot water pipes in the wash room converge in the kitchen, through which hot water can be heated centrally and flow into the water storage tank in the shower room.

The entire upper and lower water supply and drainage systems were also designed by Zhong Qinbo.

Hei Wa is also a caring brother-in-law, thinking of her eldest and second uncles, since they don't want to do research and development of ceramics, then it should be possible to do engineering, especially the work of supervising workers.

After the tiles that Heiwa wanted were fired, the construction of the Anju house at the south gate of the capital also started.

After the foundation was dug, it was paved with thick cement and sandstone, and the foundation could not be more firm. In the words of Uncle Zhongqin: If you want to build a building that will not collapse in the earthquake, you must be able to live for three generations. house.

Heiwa took Hu Yiniu and Hu Erniu to sleep on the construction site, and they liked the job of construction supervision very much.

A group of masons started to work, they kept working hard, and they could joke around all day long. The lady who cooked was also good at cooking, and they were full for lunch.

The first model courtyard house was built by more than 50 masons in just [-] days, and the thickness of each wall has a standard to follow.

In addition to the strict requirements of Uncle Zhongqin, Hu Yiniu and Hu Erniu are the masters who don't stick to the soft and the hard, and have to rework if they don't comply with the rules.

When the stove in the stove was pasted with white tiles, the masons all praised it: "My mother-in-law, if I use such a clean stove, I probably won't be able to part with the stove door, hehe."

"Isn't this hut well repaired? Is this the toilet used by rich and noble men? My dear, this, this old man is really good at enjoying it!"

"You can be so particular about taking a bath. Not only can you soak in the bathtub, but you can also take a shower standing up!"

"I said, the best thing is the heated kang. In the future, we will have an additional kang technology. In winter, the old people and children will no longer be afraid of the cold!"

"Isn't that right, isn't it? We have really seen the world. Not only can we make money, but the skills we have learned are also extraordinary. The house built by Uncle Zhongqin is not so good. It looks rare everywhere. .”

Not only did they like it, Xia Hongdi and other ministers who were invited to see the model house pointed at the courtyard house. The cement and ceramics are really good. If the quota allows, they all want to live in it!

Xia Hongdi: Come to think of it, this year's low-level officials, don't be too grateful to me!
