The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 95

Compared with toilets, bathtubs and showers are not as loud, and various wooden bathtubs are also very useful.

But how could Uncle Zhongqin let the rich go so easily?
This kind of leather recliner is connected to a ceramic washbasin with a small nozzle. The water tank is filled with hot water. When the nozzle is turned on, lie down and let the girl wash her hair.

For ladies, it is good news.Little girls, as long as they are careful, they can wash their hair without getting water into their eyes.

All the ladies with long hair, washing their hair is a very troublesome thing, they lowered their heads, and the water got into their eyes if they didn't pay attention.

The maids are better at craftsmanship, and they can also massage the scalp, shoulders and neck. The family version of the massage recliner, the name of Uncle Zhongqin has entered many honorable and wealthy families.

The bathtub with a clean white body has a secret door at the bottom. After taking a bath, you can just pull it open to let the water out. There are hot and cold water faucets on the left and right, and you can adjust the water temperature by yourself. Ladies think this can be owned.

For those who don’t like to take a bath, let’s take a look at the shower with ceramic nozzles. Many men like this. It’s easy to take a bath, isn’t it?
The Empress Dowager Shangsheng complained to her confidant mother: "Just talk about it, Uncle Zhongqin was born with mud legs before, how could he have enjoyed these things, but none of the things made by them have been enjoyed by rich people. of?"

"Such a person with no foundation, you haven't taken it for so long, what use are you?" The more she talked, the more angry she became, and she dropped a cup of tea!

In the workshop, Hu Sanniu was also taken by Heiwa to develop it. Hu Yiniu and Hu Erniu were really not interested in this thing, they were still happy to deal with fur goods, so Heiwa had to bring third brother-in-law with him.

The brick and tile kiln has already trained quite a few skilled workers. Zhao Xiucai's son Zhao Qingshan was invited back to be the big shopkeeper of the brick and tile kiln. As long as the finances are properly controlled, there will be no problem.

After discussing with the emperor, Heiwa took the new workshop in Dali Village as the Daxia Royal Ceramics Research and Development Center. Offer 3 taels.

Since it is a research and development center, the emperor requires at least two new products to be released every year, and he does not need to control production and sales.

After the royal family took over the R&D center, the security measures have been upgraded to a higher level. There are 500 guards inside and outside the workshop, and outsiders can't easily get in. Heiwa also has [-] guards to follow him to and from get off work.

He also assigned 40 craftsmen to Zhongqinbo from the Ministry of Industry, and the entire R&D center, plus handyman, was worth [-] people.

Xia Hongdi knew that many people were planning on Uncle Zhongqin, and if he didn't make a move, others would think he had no temper.

I didn't expect that the effect of my complaint would be so good. Cuihua and his wife would feel more at ease. Who wouldn't feel irritable when they see people coming to touch porcelain every day? Now that there is free public security, everyone is happy!

Shudi, Qingxian County, Qiaotou Town, Hei San, the guard sent by the Yuan Mansion to find people, and his two brothers are living in the only inn in the town.

It has only been more than a year since the catastrophe, and the land of Shu has gradually recovered, but the population of the town is small, and there are few people doing business on the market day, and there are not many shops on the streets.

Hei San asked the owner of the inn: "Shopkeeper, our main family is also from the Shu region. We escaped from famine in the year of the drought, and now we have some connections to do business. I want to come back and inquire about the old family. I don't know if anyone knows the downstream village. The area of ​​Daqingshan belongs to someone else?"

The innkeeper looked at the young man dressed like a butler, and reckoned that this fellow countryman must have made a fortune, so he replied in a good temper:

"My dear guest, my family only settled down in this town this year. We have heard of the Daqing Mountain you mentioned, but we have to ask someone to help you."

"Then thank you to the shopkeeper. If there is someone who is familiar with the family in that mountain, I will be grateful. If there is no one who knows how to get there, it will be fine. Please show me the way. Of course, I will not treat the guide badly."

Hei San said that he also gave the shop owner a small silver ingot, and the shop owner happily accepted it, and immediately went out to help him inquire.

It wasn't until an hour later that the shopkeeper brought an old man in. The old man was dressed in rags, his hair was disheveled, and he smelled of sweat. He pulled the hem of his clothes uncomfortably and looked at everyone nervously.

Hei San didn't change his face, and asked: "Old man, we want to go to Er'e Mountain in Daqing Mountain, do you know?"

The old man nodded: "I know, I know, my family lives in the upstream village, not far from that mountain."

Hei San, who was told by Hei Wa about the geographical surroundings of his hometown, heard the familiar name of the village, and hurriedly asked, "Old man, is your family a local?"

The old man shook his head: "The people in the villages near us are dead or dead, running around, there are no locals here, we all moved here last year, and there are probably not many locals in this town now. "

The innkeeper echoed: "Yes, yes, sir, we all came from other places, and it took half a month to get here! The nearby towns are similar."

Hei San and the others were dumbfounded to each other. It seemed that it was hard to find the uncle's old family.

A few people rented a mule cart, took the old man, and went to the upstream village to explore the road first.

At this time, the fields are full of greenery, and it rains in the spring, and the farmers who migrated to this county have also been assigned to the fields. In all likelihood, rice has been planted, and the popularity is slowly recovering.

The upstream village, which once formed a deadly feud with the downstream village, now also lives with relocated households, all of whom are foreigners, and the two villages are close to each other, so everyone gets along quite well.

I found a family in the upstream village to stay for one night, and the old man took Hei San and the others into the mountain the next day.

Daqingshan and Xiaoqingshan were burned by wildfires that year, and the soil in the mountains was enriched by plant ash, and weeds grew vigorously.

The new county magistrate also asked the villagers of their two villages to plant saplings on the two mountains, some of which are as tall as a person. In another 50 years, Daqingshan and Xiaoqingshan will be able to return to their former appearance.

After climbing for more than two hours, I finally reached the top of Mount Er'e. The small farmyard in the past has long been dilapidated, and there is only one family on the top of the mountain. Needless to say, this must be the family of Niu Damei.

Entering the courtyard gate, everyone was pleasantly surprised to find that there are still people hanging clothes in this courtyard, and there are traces of life!

After knocking on the courtyard door for a long time, the closed door opened, and two little heads poked out, one looked like a boy of eight or nine years old, the other looked like a little girl of five or six years old, the little boy was very vigilant , Looking at this group of strangers, there was a little fear in his eyes.

"Who are you? Where are you looking for, which one?" Her voice trembled a little, but she was still secretly calm.

Hei San hurriedly replied: "We are here to find Niu Laoqiang's family. We are invited by Niu Laoqiang's daughter, Niu Damei. I wonder if you know Niu Laoqiang?"

There was a light of surprise in the little girl's eyes: "Brother, it's aunt, it's aunt!"

But the little boy glared at her, and said to Hei San and the others: "Why should we trust you?"

Hei San didn't expect that it was two children who came to deal with them, so he could only patiently say: "We came all the way to find you, not relatives, who would know this? Call your adults back and ask It's clear."

Of course, the eldest sister Niu gave everyone the names in the family. Hei San has a good memory and said: "Your aunt gave us the names of your family members, and there is also a milk in your family. The eldest son of Niu Laoqiang is named Niu Shuanzi, the second son is called Niu Zhuzi, Niu Shuanzi has two children, and Niu Zhuzi's family has three children, do you agree?"

After listening to Hei San's words, the little boy thought for a while, finally believed it, and lowered his head and said: "All the adults in my family are dead, now only me and my younger sister are left. Younger Sister Niu is indeed our aunt."

Although I had expected that most of the people who stayed in their hometown would have no good news, but the adults in this Niu Damei's natal family were too miserable, and ten of them died.

After Heisan and the others entered the yard, the little boy, named Niu Changshui, explained the situation of his family to everyone.

Because his grandparents did not agree to escape from the famine, Niu Laoqiang could only take his wife and two sons and his family to hide on Mount Er'e to live. But the victims were hungry, and the mountain became a hunting ground, and they even started a relationship with their family. Conflict, this group of people doesn't care about the ownership of the territory, and wherever there is prey, they will go there.

He even got an idea of ​​their family. That night, he took his younger sister Niu Xi'er to dig wild vegetables in the mountains, lost his way, and came back in the middle of the night. When they entered the yard, they found that all the family members had been killed. , all food and money were gone, and even the coats of the dead were stripped.

"My sister and I didn't dare to live at home. We hid in the cave for half a month. My parents and their bodies were stinky. I saw the victims leave the mountain before I came back."

"I took Xi'er and dug a hole to bury the whole family. Woohoo, those people are so scary. We dare not go down the mountain. We live in the cave most of the time. My grandfather put a lot of salt in the cave before. and pots and pans."

"Digging grass roots to cook wild vegetables to eat, and learning to hunt prey, it took half a year to come back home. This year, the imperial court gave us a lot of relief food, and Xi'er and I were able to eat."

Niu Changshui was crying while talking. The two children looked skinny and skinny, with hands like chicken feet. It turned out that he was ten years old, and Niu Xi'er was seven years old. Hei San and the others hurriedly gave the children the dry food they brought. Pad it.

Hei San told them about the process of fleeing the famine in the downstream villages, and now that the whole group has settled down in a village near the capital.

Niu Changshui asked curiously: "There is no famine now, why doesn't my aunt come back? Now there are more prey on the mountain, and I can eat enough."

Hei San had no choice but to say: "The land in the capital is more fertile, your aunt's family now eats steamed buns made of white noodles every day, and your uncle's family also opened a fur shop, life is easy, so we are here to pick you up to the capital. "

Niu Changshui listened to what he said so carefully, he could explain to everyone in the Hu family, and he completely believed them.

There was nothing to clean up in this house, and after finding out the household registration of the family, he needed to go to the county to change directions, so he took Xi'er bare-handed and followed Hei San and the others away.

I gave the old man who led the way a silver ingot weighing five taels, which made the old man so happy that he couldn't find the north. This Hu family is amazing, it is well-developed in the capital.

In Qing County, Hei San personally went to the county government office to change directions. The two attendants asked the innkeeper to fetch bath water for the two children, let them clean themselves, and bought suitable clothes for them to change into.

The magistrate of Qing County was shocked when he received the post from Uncle Zhongqin's mansion. They are from the backcountry, where did the uncle come from?

Meet Black Trinity face to face, after listening to Black Trinity's introduction, hey, be good!Uncle Zhongqin turned out to be from Qing County!He has also heard of this person, who doesn't know about this cement, this is the favorite of the new emperor, that is really an honor!
The magistrate of this county has just been in office for more than a year, and he doesn't have enough understanding of the local forces. He just moved the mountain people to farm, so he readily asked the master to lead the way for Niu Changshui and Niu Xi'er brothers and sisters. Kind and black three pull homely.

Hei San also took the opportunity to learn about the current situation in Qingxian County, and even looked up the household registrations of the downstream villages. There really wasn't a single household from the original residence still alive, and all of them were occupied by the new migrant households.

Really, a foreign land is a hometown!
