The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 115 The Hero of Shu
The turmoil in Uncle Zhongqin's mansion, Xia Hongdi thinks back and forth, and has a clue to many things. He looked in the direction of the Compassionate Palace and snorted coldly: You can stretch your hands really long!

In order to divert everyone's attention, Xia Hongdi decided that the Anju housing will be on sale!

The list of these registered officials needs to be checked carefully. Is it plausible that they live in a house built by Bo Zhongqin and scold their wives?
The cost of these courtyard houses is only 100 taels if the land is not counted, and the price for officials is 500 taels.

When the list of qualified candidates came out, many people expressed dissatisfaction: their seniority was higher, their family was poorer, and they had more children!Why is it not my turn?
Then news came out: This is someone who is fighting for the Zhongqinbo Mansion. Think about it carefully, what have you said in public?
Now, who still doesn't understand, the Tian family has taken action.

Officials who have obtained the qualifications for housing selection are very happy, happy, this south gate is the closest to the imperial palace, and the road is also the most spacious. They want to live here, and it only takes two quarters of an hour to go to the government office.

Moreover, living outside the city, adjacent to the countryside in the suburbs of Beijing, buying some vegetables, fruits, chickens and ducks, which are fresh and cheap, the people who can buy houses here are not very rich, and they are very economical to live.

The key point is that the house is so well designed. None of the elders who watched the house were dissatisfied. This is the legendary toilet and shower. All bedrooms are equipped with it, and it is said that it will be warm in winter. Kang.

Uncle Zhongqin is really talented, and his wife is also a good person!Yes, I haven't heard those who say bad things about people, and they are not qualified to buy a house. We are different. We think that Zhongqinbo's mansion can do everything well!
This group of people moved quickly, and on various occasions, they sang praises to Uncle Zhongqin's mansion loudly, and they were all in the limelight for a while.

Amidst such discussions, four hot pot restaurants named "Shu Zhixia" opened in the four directions of the capital on the same day.

The day before, they gave [-] tables free tasting places. Before serving the food, they also performed a Beijing opera for the diners in the store. The content of the Beijing opera is:

A fugitive lady with great strength fled famine with her family and her mouth. She was besieged by the enemy in the city of Chengdu in the Shu region. Then, she stepped forward to assist the princess of Shu who was fighting alone. She saw through the enemy's conspiracy and bravely The story of killing the enemy and forging a deep friendship with the princess of Shu.

At the end of the story, in order to celebrate the victory, the fugitive lady used the seasoning she brought, and the princess of Shu provided the ingredients, and made a prosperous hot pot for the soldiers to eat. Everyone who ate it praised it, because the fugitive lady was chivalrous. , was called "the hero of Shu" by the generals.

After the opera ended, the storyteller took over. He not only recounted the story in detail from beginning to end, but also pointed out that it was a real story, and this chivalrous lady was Mrs. Zhongqin, who endorsed the story. Today's empress.

As soon as the story came out, there was an uproar in the building, my God, the number one jealous woman in Great Xia was actually a chivalrous man, the friendship between her and the empress is more real than gold.

I haven't eaten the hot pot yet, and I'm looking forward to it. When the red bottom of the pot comes out, my God, I'll just faint, okay?
"This, isn't this too fragrant? Wow, it's delicious, try it!"

"This beef roll is too delicious. It's cooked as soon as it's hot. Oh, this sesame oil dish is also a must. It's fragrant!"

"This fish meat can also be made into meatballs? It's still so tough, this cook is really fantastic!"

"People have said that these are all from the Zhongqinbo Mansion. It is said that the hot peppers that have just been released this year were also brought by this lady."

"Tsk tsk, such a chivalrous lady, and such a good cook, whoever you change to, can't be happy!"

"Who says no, anyway, I am very envious of Uncle Zhongqin. Those who have met this lady say that she is one of the best in appearance, and she has given birth to two pairs of twin sons in a row. Just tell me, what should I change?" You guys can't have fun at home by yourself!"

"Fame stuff, to put it bluntly, that's all there is to it. I didn't see those girls, they were all sour, and they were very envious."

"Hahaha, brother, what are you talking nonsense about? Come on, let's continue to fix it. It's free today, so we have to eat enough to count!"

With the spread of these diners, in less than a day, the story of Mrs. Zhongqin spread all over the streets and alleys. Who can say that she is a jealous woman?The emperor and his wife ended up in person, okay?
After Cuihua heard the news, she went to the palace to thank Empress Gao. She didn't just talk about it, she made up ten famous opera stories in later generations, and even told the idea of ​​changing faces in Sichuan opera.

"Your Majesty, thanks to your help, I have become a real celebrity now. Since the big guy likes watching dramas so much, let's continue to act. We can enjoy hot pot and watch dramas. We are the only ones!"

Empress Gao laughed and said, "My idea still comes from the comic strips of your two sons. This real-life story is told in the form of opera, which is very interesting!"

"Your Majesty, I feel that I am so lucky to have you as my best friend!"

"What is a girlfriend?" "Hey, it's a bosom friend, a friend whose relationship is as sweet as sugar!"

"Hahaha, then we are girlfriends!"

Empress Gao is so fresh, she didn't hand in many handkerchiefs when she was a child, and the cousins ​​in the family were the ones she had the most contact with, or cousins. This Cuihua is indeed the one that makes her feel the most comfortable when dealing with her over the years. One person, is this the so-called congeniality?

Anyway, Cuihua happily snatched a newly released girlfriend and returned home triumphantly.

In the space at night, talking about this matter with a man, Hei Wa fell in love with him, his wife is really, God's own daughter, no doubt.

The most honorable couple in the world, for the sake of his daughter-in-law's reputation, both spoke out with their own experiences, and even took the initiative to give her a platform for her daughter-in-law. The whole Great Xia has to praise the friendship between Mrs. Zhongqin and the empress.

"Hey, daughter-in-law, my porcelain kiln has already been built. I hope that before the end of the year, labor and management will come back to blind the idiots of Xue's family. Bullying my wife is bullying me!"

"Did you find the right soil so quickly?"

"In this era, except for the different dynasties, the topographic map is not very different from our modern history. This place is called Nanchang Town, so it's easy to find!"

"Besides, they also produce porcelain here, but it's still not systematic, there are not many tricks, and they haven't made a name for themselves!"

"Yeah, husband, then you can make a few sets of porcelain for our family with your own hands. You can also use the fragments of blue and white porcelain to make some small jewelry, earrings, necklaces, rings, etc. This color, Who can say no?"

"Daughter-in-law, you are a genius. Your man thinks about dishes and bowls. From what you've said, jewelry is also a way to go, and the cost is still low. As long as the craftsmanship is fine, the selling price will not be cheap!"

"I remember that in the modern era, there was an artist who collected pieces of blue and white porcelain to make jewelry. He ground the pieces into different shapes and mixed them with gold, silver, pearls, etc. It was very beautiful."

"Also, you can make piggy banks in various animal shapes, matryoshka dolls and so on!"

Speaking of these, the couple became more and more excited as they talked. Unexpectedly, they just wanted to tidy up the Xue family at first.

But after doing this, I discovered that porcelain can be used in far more places than that. Light accessories and children's toys are too promising!

Shu Zhixia's business, except for the first day of free, is full every day. There are many kinds of ingredients and unique tastes, and there is no one in the capital who does not love it.

In the workshop of hot pot base ingredients, the wives are going to waste all the seasonings after frying. There is no other reason. They have to use hundreds of catties of ingredients in a day. They are afraid that the stock will not be enough, so they dare not stop.

Cuihua's family, except for the bean paste they wanted to eat at their own house, was taken away by the workshop, and they were given a lot of money. This year, Cuihua earned 2 taels of silver just for the bean paste.

The noodles and konjac vermicelli produced by the noodle workshop are also well received. Mrs. He and Widow Zhu have been able to manage the workshop in an orderly manner, and everything is so smooth.

If it hadn't been for Xiaoliu's sudden fever and rashes all over his body, Cuihua felt that the feeling would be over.

Xiaowu and Xiaoliu just went back to Dali Village with her to inspect the workshop for a few days, and played with the children in the village. The fat boy who had never had a disease since he was born, unexpectedly developed acne.

Every year, the emperor Xia Hongdi allocates funds to the pox clinic, and children over the age of 10 can be vaccinated for free. In recent years, smallpox has been well controlled, but just like this, her son was actually infected with smallpox .

Cuihua forced herself to calm down, and immediately quarantined everyone who had been in contact with Xiaoliu, including herself, in Yuan's Mansion in Dali Village.

She is still very worried about Xiao Wu now, the twins are inseparable, one has a rash, and the other is afraid that she will not be able to escape.

Everyone in Yuan's Mansion in Dali Village was in a state of panic. Housekeeper Li checked all the children that Xiaowu and Xiaoliu had come into contact with these days.

Sure enough, in a dilapidated house in Dali Village, a seven-year-old orphan was found with fever all over his body and acne all over his face.

This child is called Jian'er. When he was five years old, he came to Dali Village from somewhere. He often hid in the haystacks. He couldn't bear to see him starved. People would give him some food, so he just ate hundreds of meals. Grow up to 7 years old.

When the twins returned to the village this time, they met Jian'er in the village on the first day. Seeing that he was skinny, and hearing that he was hungry, Xiao Liu insisted on giving him the biscuits in his pocket.

In the next few days, I went to play with him a few more times. Xiao Wu is not fond of children. This baby has a good relationship with small animals, and likes to chase geese and ducks, so he only got the trick after the last step this time.

The Yuan Mansion closed the gates, and no one was allowed to enter or exit, which made everyone in the Hu family worry badly.

Niu Damei hugged her twin daughters and said to her nephew and niece: "So, people's blessings have a definite number, and there may be disasters coming one day!"
