Oops, Fubao was snatched away by the smelly brother next door again

Chapter 25
There were more than 30 people standing in the yard, and it seemed very crowded all of a sudden. Mrs. Jiang stayed in the room for a while, and then took out a small box, which contained some scattered coins.

Jiang Zixing personally counted the corresponding amount and handed it over to the adults who followed. When it was distributed to the last person, there was only a shallow layer of copper coins left in the box. According to visual inspection, it was mostly Xiaoping coins and copper coins folded in two or three. .

Seeing that the copper coins in the small box were getting less and less, those people pursed their lips and asked the children to salute Jiang introspection, "Mr. Jiang is kind, thank you Mr. Jiang."

None of them would want their children to stop studying if they hadn't been desperate.

There are more or less relatives in their families who have sent their children to study, and there are almost no such people as Jiang Zixing who will return Shu Xiu to them in the sky.

The children were about to kneel down as promised, but Jiang Zixing quickly stopped him, "Okay, okay, when you get back, you have to listen to the adults. If... If you have time, don't forget to study."

"Yes." The children all agreed, their voices were immature and loud.

Even the children who usually have to be stared at to study seriously, the voice of answering at this moment is very loud.

The adults sighed, wanted to say something but didn't say it, said goodbye to Jiang and took their children home.

But I don't know how many people have left this door, and the books and ink worth some money may all be sold.

Jiang Zixing stood in the yard and watched for a long time, then turned his head to see Jiang Yuan looking up at him with his little head raised, smiled slightly, picked up his daughter and walked into the house, "Yubao, wait until you grow up , Daddy also teaches you to read and write."

"Okay!" Jiang Yu'an saw that he was not interested, so she nodded, thinking that she was trying to make her father happy, and then she turned around to let Jiang Zixing take her to the old man and Mrs. Jiang's room.

After entering the room, I felt chilly, and the heat outside just now seemed to dissipate a lot at once, when my eyes touched the ice cubes stacked in the basin, Jiang was stunned, "Where did this ice come from? "

"It's made of saltpeter created by Yubao." An Shuhui replied, she probably talked about the method of making ice with saltpeter, "You used to discuss with me the method of making ice with saltpeter in ancient books, but I didn't expect it to be so simple .”

Jiang Zixing looked at Xiaotuanzi in his arms. He was so small that he could easily hold two of these dolls in one hand, but he could always bring out some weird things, and he knew a lot of things that he didn't know.

"Yubao, we must never show these skills in front of others in the future." Jiang Zixing had a gentle smile in his eyes, "We Yubao know so many things."

Jiang Yu'an, who was enjoying his father's embrace safely, smiled proudly, "Daddy, I still have something to ask you. If these ice cubes are taken to the county, there must be many people rushing to buy them, but I don't know how the county magistrate is."

"Yubao is thinking?" Jiang Zixing guessed her thoughts, and thought for a moment, "The county magistrate is a conservative person, he is very cautious, and he does things in a well-regulated manner, but he won't steal people's livelihood."

"In this case, we can sell ten pieces of ice a day, send one piece to the county magistrate's house, and sell the rest to those rich businessmen." Jiang Yu'an smiled with eyebrows curved, "At this time, I will earn money from those rich businessmen." You don’t feel guilty if you earn money.”

Jiang Zixing was quite proud, "You are smart and not greedy. You only sell ten yuan a day. As long as the county magistrate approves, no one will dare to cause trouble."

"By the way, dad." Jiang Yu'an remembered that in history, the status of businessmen was always very low. She wondered if it was still the same in this era. She tentatively asked, "Can we do business in the future?"

"If you like to do business, Daddy will support you." Jiang Zixing squeezed her face, and told Jiang Yuan what she wanted to know very cooperatively, "A few years ago, the people were struggling to live, and today I will try my best to reject all opinions and stop treating businessmen. There are restrictions on not being able to take imperial examinations and not being able to wear silk, and there are many merchants. It was not until recent years that there were many merchants and the national power gradually prospered, and gradually no courtiers objected."

Jiang Yu'an nodded thoughtfully. It seems that she should be in a parallel world now, otherwise, how could such a major reform of the system not be recorded.

After consulting Jiang's self-examination, Lao Jiang's family began to prepare.

Mrs. Jiang and An Shuhui didn't tell the Langs that the water in the well in their house was conjured by Jiang Yu'an.

They fetched some water from the well, taught Jiang Jianxian and others how to make ice with saltpeter, and spread a tarpaulin in the backyard, tucked up the corners, and poured the saltpeter-melted water into it to dry.

The sale of ice cubes has to wait until tomorrow morning when the weather is still cool before going to the county, so they only made enough for their own consumption today.

Yang Erni and Sun Yan were working enthusiastically. When they heard the knock on the door, they quickly put down what they were doing and checked for any leaks before opening the door.

Opening the door, there were a few people from the same village standing outside the door, their lips were a little chapped. After entering, they asked Mrs. Jiang, "Sister-in-law, several wells in the village have been dried up. Your well..."

When Mrs. Jiang saw that they were still holding poles and buckets, she understood what they were here for, and sighed, "There is still water in my well, but not much. You guys...carry a bucket and a half bucket back. Bar."

All the water in the old Jiang's well was put in by Jiang Yu'an. She kept the water level at a level that was neither high nor low, so it would not arouse suspicion.

Those few people thanked each other with half a bucket of water and went back. At this time, they naturally knew how precious water was. What Old Jiang's family gave them was a chance to survive.

Later, people came to ask questions one after another, and when they came, they didn't come empty-handed. They took more or less food, dried vegetables and other things, and everyone rushed to follow suit.

Mrs. Jiang knew that it was a drought that had driven everyone to nowhere. She knew the truth about how kindness and vengeance should be fought against each other. After discussing with the rest of Old Jiang's family, she went to the patriarch's house.

"Brothers and sisters, who are you?" The patriarch looked at the grandparents and grandchildren in front of him suspiciously. He hadn't seen him for just one month. He seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden, his wrinkles had deepened a little, and his eyebrows were so wrinkled that he could pinch him to death. Mosquito.

"I heard that the wells in the village are out of water?" Mrs. Jiang cut straight to the point, nodded at the patriarch in front of her, and said, "There is still some water in my well, but not much, and the water that can be pumped out every day is for everyone. Although it can’t be used like before, it should still be enough to drink.”

Patriarch Jiang’s eyes were a little red. These days, the water in the wells in the village was getting less and less. Until yesterday, the water at the head and tail of the village was completely dry. Several households with their own wells also said that the wells were dry, so he went to see it himself. the...

The patriarch was about to inquire about the situation of the well in Old Jiang's house, when he heard Jiang Yu'an beside him suddenly joyfully say, "By the way, I remembered, there is a way, there is a way to get water!"
