Before fleeing famine, I evacuated the Duke's mansion and stockpiled tens of billions of suppli

Chapter 41 I used mud to earn him eighty-eight thousand

Gongsun Bieyuan, surrounded by vermilion walls, green tiles and flying scorpions.

There are four gates with hanging flowers, six pavilions and pavilions, corridors and painted walls in all directions, and the entire courtyard is full of flowers, showing luxury and grace.

Gongsun Li's youngest son hadn't fallen ill in the past two days, so he was in a good mood, playing with the birds and feeding the fish in the garden, followed by the housekeeper who followed suit.

"I asked you to do things, how are you doing?" During the question, Gongsun Li sprinkled a handful of fish food into the pond, causing the red carps in the water to gallop and compete for food.

The butler bent down and said, "Go home, everything is done. The family named Xu is now settled in Erlitun, on the outskirts of Changchun City, and has allocated [-] mu of paddy fields."

Unexpectedly, when Gongsun Li heard it, he threw the fish food in his hand on the housekeeper's face, and cursed: "How do you do things, you stupid thing? I didn't ask you to talk to my uncle and give them the worst location." , the most inferior field!"

"No, Patriarch, calm down, the villain hasn't finished talking just now." The housekeeper wiped his face covered with fish food, and said quickly: "Erlitun is a barren suburban wilderness, and the [-] acres of paddy fields are also bad land where not a single blade of grass grows." .”

"Well, very good." After hearing this, Gongsun Li triumphantly patted the fish and food crumbs on his hands: "Since it's in the wild, there must be some wild animals such as poisonous snakes, poisonous scorpions, and wild wolves."

The housekeeper understood the meaning of Gongsun Li's words, and hurriedly said: "The owner of the house is wise, I will do it now."

Seeing the butler leaving, Gongsun Li leaned on the railing and hummed a little song.

Hmph, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, but for me, Gongsun Li, to take revenge from morning till night!

When the butler turned around, the flattery on his face disappeared instantly, and his face was as gloomy as frost.

At this time, Obscure Moon didn't know that Gongsun Li was going to play tricks secretly, and she was looking at her precious saline-alkali land with bright eyes.

Hee hee, as the saying goes, harvest grasshoppers when there is a drought, harvest toads when it is flooded, and boil salt lumps when there is neither drought nor flood.

The salt content in this white soil is very large, it looks like snow accumulation, it is suitable for cooking soil salt.

Moreover, when salt is boiled, it will produce a white needle-like powder that is more useful.

However, this white needle-like powder is not very needed at present, and it is a bit dangerous after it is produced.

"Yue'er, is it possible to boil the white clay here to produce salt? When I was doing business in Yutianguan, I heard the old people talk about boiling the clay to get salt, but it seems that the boiled salt is poisonous salt. He died." Brother Er Ya scratched his head and said.

"Yeah, yeah, we haven't done it before, what if we don't get through this well and people get killed?" Er Ya Niang echoed.

Mizuki patted her small chest and said: "That's because they boiled the salt incorrectly. They didn't add magic potion when boiling the salt. My method is absolutely reliable. If you are still not at ease, after the salt is boiled, grab two Come and try the mouse."

Hearing Ozuki's confident words, everyone dispelled their doubts and were full of energy.

You know, this salt is worth two taels of silver a catty in Dayuan. If it can be brewed, then the Xu family will have mastered the wealth code.

When the time comes to get rid of poverty and become rich overnight, you will have everything you need such as big houses, chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, fertile land, children can go to school, and young men can marry wives.

Haha, I'm really excited just thinking about it!

"Okay, okay, don't think too much, the hala is about to flow out, everyone hurry up and start working." Xu Jingyang rolled up his sleeves, and walked out on the ridge of the field with the appearance of a group of inspection inspectors.

"Uncle Wu, what are you doing on the ridge of the field? Come down and dig the soil together." Xu Jia, who was already scraping the salt soil with a shovel, called out.

Xu Jingyang: "Hmph, I'm the captain of the farming school. Do you know what the job of the farming school is, you idiot? It's just to supervise your work. Don't talk, hurry up and work for me."

"Uh..." Xu Jia scratched his head and found that he was speechless.

As a result, the flamboyant Xu Jingyang was kicked down by Shen Yinxing before he could stand still for a few seconds.

Xu Jingyang, who fell into the field, immediately stood up after falling, rubbed his waist and cursed: "Who dares to sneak attack me, it is so audacious!"

Standing on the ridge of the field, Shen Yinxing put his hands on his hips and angrily scolded Xu Jingyang: "Don't be lazy, you also work hard for me!"

Seeing that the attacker was Shen Yinxing, Xu Jingyang's arrogance immediately dissipated, he shrank his head, and obediently dug away.

Seeing this scene, Ozuki covered her mouth and started laughing.

Hee hee, I have to say, these two are really cute, the scheming emperor who likes to pretend to be pigs and tigers x the violent and arrogant female general.

But Xu Jingyang doesn't agree with Ozuyue's description of him as a pig eating a tiger. In his words, he is a hidden dragon, don't use it, and avoids the edge for the time being.

Boiling soil salt is actually a hard job. Working with the land is dirty and tiring.

Due to the lack of hands of the Xu family, half-old children and women also had to go to the fields to work.

Ozuki held a small shovel in her hand, and put a small basket next to it, and put the salt soil scraped off with the shovel into the basket, and asked Xu Ajiu to carry it back.

There was just a light rain in this place two days ago, and the saline-alkali in the ground was soaked out by the rain, and then after being exposed to the sun, a layer of saline-alkali crust as thin as a pancake appeared on the ground.

This pile of crispy pancake shells is the saline soil, which is the raw material for making soil salt.

The gray-white saline-alkali crust is spread in the low-lying flat saline-alkali land, which looks like a thin layer of ice from a distance.

Obscure Moon broke these crisp shells with a small shovel, and then shoveled them into the back basket.

As Obscure Moon kept shoveling the soil, gradually, a mountain of salt and earth had piled up in the basket.

Looking at the fruits of her labor for most of the day, Ozuki felt very fulfilled.

In some fields, the salt soil crust is not thick, and the white salt soil foam can be swept off with a broom. In fact, the salt soil foam directly swept down has a higher salt content.

Once the salt soil is shoveled, it must be transported back immediately, because the salt soil is afraid of water, wind, and air.

As soon as the weather changes, the salt may sink into the soil immediately, so the salt soil brought home cannot be placed directly on the ground, but must be hung in a basket covered with straw.

The Xu family dug the salt soil, immediately transported it back, and hung it on a rope in the tent.

When everyone returned to the camp, they were so tired that they lay down on the ground, but no one complained of suffering or tiredness. They only rested for a while, and everyone shouted: "Strength is to make money, come back after going."

Then everyone tried their best to cheer up and went down to the ground to move the salt soil again.

In this situation, a sentence popped out of Miyue's mouth: "It's true that the money is in place, and the people are useless~"

When everyone came back from carrying the salt soil again, they happened to bump into Lao Mengtou of Huoshi Village.

Apart from Xujia Village, the people living in Erlitun are the villagers of Huoshi Village. The camps of the two villages are quite far apart, and the fields they are allotted are not in the same place.

With his head on his back, Lao Meng was very curious when he saw that the Xu family's baskets were full of salt soil, so he hooked his neck and asked, "Huh? Why did you bring this soil back?"

"I want to remove the bad soil and cover it with new soil to see if I can grow crops." Xu Jingyang laughed.

"Hey, it's a waste of effort." Lao Meng shook his head and said, "The fields in our village are all planted with the herb seeds given by Doctor Huang. When they grow well, Doctor Huang will bring people to buy them."

Xu Jingyang also shook his head: "You have to pay [-]% of the tax to grow herbs, and you can't get enough to eat."

"That can't be helped, it's better than nothing, I think you should stop messing around and plant herbs."Lao Meng said as he walked, and at the end, he took a look into the salt-and-soil basket that Xu Ajiu was carrying.

Back at the camp, Ozuki was going to tell everyone what to do next.

Before she could say anything, Xu Jingyang covered Miyue's mouth: "Shh! This is a secret, let those children go out, lest the children will leak their mouths outside later."

Thinking about it is also the same reason, there are too many people talking, and children are easy to be stereotyped, so the children Erya and Xu Laifu were driven away.

Second Ya Niang and Seventh Aunt also walked out very consciously, because they felt that their big mouths might be bad, so it's better not to know.

Seeing that the idlers had almost left, Yunyue said: "The next step is to make salt."

According to what Ozuki said, Xu Jia built a pond about two meters long and one meter wide with adobe bricks, and filled it with clay to prevent seepage.

Then a half-meter-thick straw was laid under the pond. Because the salt would seep into the soil, the pond was suspended, and layers of straw and straw were laid underneath.

The next step is to pour four or five baskets of salt soil into the pond, and then stir the water repeatedly. This step is physical work, and the stirring must be very even and thorough.

Seeing this, Xu Jingyang saw that the situation was not good, and immediately found a reason for someone to watch outside, and then slipped away.

He slipped so fast that Shen Yinxing didn't even catch him.

Seeing Xu Jingyang leaving in a cool way, Shen Yinxing cursed: "Bah! It's delicious and lazy."

"Uncle Wu is right. Someone needs to be on guard outside. If someone steals the lesson, it will be difficult." Xu Jia, a pure and simple child, didn't feel that Uncle Wu was stealing and playing tricks. .

If Xu Jingyang heard this, he would probably jump up and give Xu Jia a thumbs up: "You are really my good nephew!"

After mixing the brine, Xu Jia put a flax bag on the barrel, and then began to pour the stirred brine into the barrel.

This layer of flax bags serves as a filter, and the concentrated brine obtained after filtration is brine.

This brine is also the brine in the sentence "Brine tofu, one thing drops one thing", and a part of it can be reserved to make tofu.

Ozuki thought about it, it seems that there is no such food as tofu in this era.

It's a pity that there is no stone mill, no soybeans, and there is no way to make tofu with only brine.

Woohoo, I really want to eat mapo tofu, drink sweet tofu nao, and iron plate tofu.

Thinking about modern food, Ozuki's mouth is watering.

At this time, the sky has completely darkened, and the first two steps of the step of making earth salt have only been completed, and there are still many things to do later.

But thinking that everyone was exhausted all day, Ozuki yawned, and then wanted everyone to go back to rest.

But Brother Erya shook his head, expressing that he was not tired and could continue to work, and the other young and strong boys shook their heads in the same way.

From their excited eyes, Obscure Moon saw silver, big houses, large fertile fields, and endless food.

Yes, a group of struggling.
When will our unmotivated father learn from them?
"Everyone go back to rest. The energy during the day is definitely better than at night. The next steps are more cumbersome. If you lose your mind a little bit, you may lose everything." Ozuki thinks that working overtime is completely unnecessary, and the salt water is not enough. Maybe he ran away with long legs.

Shen Yinxing, who was holding a stirring stick, came over, shook his sore hands and said, "We entrepreneurs don't work overtime, we are working for ourselves every moment."

"Uh" Ozuki was speechless after hearing this.

Why is this aunt on the top...

Obscure Moon squinted: "Aniang, you have such an awareness, if you don't go to a start-up company to become a CEO, you are too talented."

The age gap between Shen Yinxing and Obscure Moon is relatively shallow, Shen Yinxing can understand what Obscure Moon says, and sometimes they can even compliment each other.

Although the boys next to them couldn't understand what they were talking about, they were no longer surprised.

"Hey! It's so late, what are you still doing?" Xu Jingyang came back from a stroll outside, with his hands in his sleeves, and he stretched out his head to look inside.

Seeing this idler, Shen Yinxing became angry, and simply turned his face away and stopped looking at him.

Xu Jia patted her head: "Hey, Uncle Wu, we're not tired, did you notice any movement while watching outside?"

After hearing this, Xu Jingyang said without blushing, "Everything is as usual."

It made him really look like he was patrolling outside...

"Hey, hey, you guys hurry back, you don't rest, Yue'er still has to rest." Saying that, Xu Jingyang hugged the yawning Hazy Moon.

"Let's go, let's go, I'm going to kick people out!" Xu Jingyang pushed the young men who were staying in place and refused to leave, and pushed them out of the tent.

Brother Erya, who was kicked out, looked at the closed tent and scratched his head, and then said to the brothers who were still full of feelings: "Forget it, forget it, you can't become fat if you eat in one bite, you need to eat in one bite, and you need money." Earn a little bit."

After finishing speaking, they left and made an appointment to knock on the door early tomorrow morning.

After they left, Shen Yinxing took Xu Ajiu to tidy up the tent, and then lay down on the straw bedding to sleep.

When going to bed at night, Xu Jingyang took Xu Ajiu to sleep on the side near the door, and Shen Yinxing slept inside holding Ouyue.

Then Shen Yinxing put a basin of water between herself and Xu Jingyang, meaning that he should not allow him to cross the boundary.
Xu Jingyang looked at Shen Yinxing's actions and thought it was ridiculous, he was already an old couple and had a baby, so he still cared about these things
Heh, I don't know how many women wanted to climb onto my dragon bed back then.

After the slander was over, Xu Jingyang also turned his head away, leaving Shen Yinxing with the back of his head.

Not long after, there were snoring sounds one after another in the tent.

At the same time, on the grass outside the tent, poisonous snakes with triangular heads were crawling along the ground, like ghosts dying in the night.
