Villager of Daming

Chapter 172 Guarding the Ship and Delivering Vegetables Can't Be Long (Second Update)
The head of the village brought the wooden sign and asked Hanhan to write it down. He didn't need to say his name. The sacrificial hall is where Hanhan slept, and he had already remembered the names of his ancestors.

The head of the village arranged the signs in order, lit the incense burner, brought Hanhan to kneel down and kowtow, and then called other villagers to kowtow, which was regarded as opening a branch hall.

Waiting for the Zhongyuan Festival to worship, offer offerings, and start crying, how difficult it is for me to grow up here, and what I didn't do well...

In Xiaqiu Village, the village elders come to organize ancestor worship and light lamps all night.

The Ming Dynasty's Hungry Ghost Festival was very lively. There are Ming Dynasty essays, such as the July and a half of the West Lake written by Zhang Dai.

There is nothing to see in the West Lake in July and a half, only to see the people in July and a half...

……

On July [-]th, Zhu Xing went back. He had to participate in the ancestor worship. He had learned well and satisfied Zhu Yuanzhang, so when he worshiped the ancestors, he was only one step behind Prince Zhu Biao and stood behind the prince.

If he doesn't satisfy Zhu Yuanzhang, he can only stand behind Prince Zhu Biao when offering sacrifices to his ancestors.

There is no way, he is the second child, and his position is fixed.

There will be many people swimming along the Qinhuai River tonight and it will be lively, so people from Xiaqiu Village will not go out to join in the excitement.

Zhu Wentian stifled all possible accidents in the cradle, even with the guards of the Prince's Mansion.

For example, some people deliberately find fault, like those who pretended to be beggars and cheated in lottery draws.

After checking the key, there is a problem, but no one behind it can be found, which means that someone is hiding deeper. What is the purpose?Just to cheat some money?

Friends, it doesn’t matter whether you go to play or not, everyone wipes the glazed lamps, and prepares to eat sheep and scorpion hot pot at night.

The sheep scorpion is the spine of a sheep, and the spine of a sheep looks like a scorpion as a whole.

When it comes to drinking soup, the spine is better than the ribs, because there is more bone marrow in the spine.

If you eat bone marrow alone, it is better to have more bone marrow in the big bone than the spine.

After dinner this morning, the little girl Ling'er led the team out to buy it. She bought a lot of mutton and asked the other party to take the spine and the sheep into the water.

Therefore, for the mutton at noon, eat the lamb scorpion pot at night, and serve the rest on ice, and eat mutton shumai tomorrow morning, and sizzling mutton at noon.

"I'm a bad customer, so I'm here uninvited!" At night when shopkeeper Xu came over, he just opened his mouth and didn't take the food.

"Seeing that there are many people there, otherwise I would have invited you to drink." The chief stood up.

"The person who eats is the kitchen manager, so it's useless to count on me, huh? Where's the soap?"

Shopkeeper Xu went to wash his hands while he was talking, and found that the soap box had disappeared. This is wrong. Others don’t have soap, so how could Xiaqiu Village run out of stock?

He already knows what Xiaqiu Village is like. The soap comes from Xiaqiu Village, as well as glass mirrors, rock sugar and other things.

"There is a transparent glass bottle, press it with your hand, and it contains hand sanitizer.

It's autumn, the sky is dry, the soap is not oiled, and the hand sanitizer contains glycerin, which moisturizes the skin.

When the weather is cold, there is anti-crack cream in the village, I will give you some, and you can use it on the distinguished guests who are staying. "

The head of the village found that there is a lively restaurant next to it, which is very good. If the Fuhua Building is also bought, there will be no such situation as now where people can always see people passing by in front of the store.

The key point is that there was a ten-foot-high earthen wall between the two stores, and they couldn't see each other.

Now that the earthen wall has been demolished, a three-foot-high fence is made of bamboo pieces from old bamboo, and the bamboo pieces are spaced two feet apart.

In this way, the shed is set up, and the edge of the side is open. I don’t feel aggrieved by the wooden wall of the shed on one side and the mud wall on the other.

As for the people on the opposite side coming over, if they really want to come over, can a ten-foot-high wall stop them?It's just a rope.

The wall is demolished, and there can be glass on the east side of the shed here, so that when the sun rises, it just shines into the shed.

"I'm going to build up the bungalows in the six courtyards at the back, and one family will come over, so there are many people without occupying two courtyards."

When it comes to accommodation, shopkeeper Xu has a new idea to build a second floor to increase the space.

He saw that the back of the store in Xiaqiu Village was a second-floor building, and it didn't affect the light in the courtyard behind him except at sunset.

The second-floor buildings in Xiaqiu Village have a small area to block the sunset, that is, one courtyard cannot see the sunset, and the other five have no problem.

Hearing what shopkeeper Xu said, the chief came up with an idea: "You might as well use brick-concrete structures, some buildings in the imperial city have already been used.

There are special construction sites for grinding stones, burning cement, and grinding cement. You have a lot of connections, so you can buy them from them, and the same is true for bricks.

The brick-concrete structure builds a second-story building quickly. Here, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made the decision to repair the wooden second-story building, and the tenon and tenon joints took a lot of work.

The sooner your restaurant is built, the sooner people will be able to move in, not to mention that there is a shortage of wood at the moment, and it is tight for the imperial city. "

"Ah~~!" Shopkeeper Xu sighed: "Actually, the most lacking thing is craftsmen. The craftsmen who work for you come from the imperial court. How can I find them?"

"Fifty Wen a day, I will bring you [-] craftsmen who are very skilled in building houses, and one of them will give you [-] Wen a day."

The head of the village thought of a team, a particularly useful team, which would build normal houses, and even brick and mortar.

"My Fuhua Building only has six courtyards to build a second-floor building, and 200 people can't use it."

Shopkeeper Xu felt his scalp tingle when he thought of the number of people. How could he build a house with crowds?
"It's settled like this. I'll call people to come and use as much as I can. Others will build a house for the library and work for a month."

After the chief finished talking about drinking, don't be in a hurry. He will write to the guards to bring them to Xiaqiu Village after the guards are full.

When they arrived at the local area to estimate their passing, the people of Xiaqiu Village drove a carriage and carried lanterns to Xuancheng. On the evening and early morning of the Ghost Festival...

Thinking of delivering the letter, the chief slapped his forehead: "We should deliver food and wine to the boat guards today. It's the holiday."

"Let's go." The person in charge of the kitchen got up and prepared things.

The boatman stayed on the boat all the time after he came, and usually bought food at the dock like other boatmen, and the food was paid by Xiaqiu Village.

Today is the festival, and it would be pitiful to let them buy food. Sometimes the ghost festival is full of excitement, and they stay on the boat.

A group of people pushed a unicycle out, Zhu Wentian looked at the unicycle and became thoughtful.

Two quarters of an hour later, the person who delivered the wine and food came back, and the 'executive chef' reported: "When they went, they were about to buy wine and some lo mei, and we caught up."

"From now on, they will be there, delivering food every day. There are four people in a boat, two of them come down to live in the house, and two stay guard."

The head of the village decided to take more care of him. There are always people on board who will make trouble.

Including on the streets now, there are still a lot of robbers and thieves, plus those who bully and dominate the market, the government is simply too busy.

There are 20 troops stationed in Nanjing, nearly 50 civilians, and the yamen of the two counties are in charge.

Shopkeeper Xu is now persuading: "It's not easy for four people to guard a boat. Two people can't see it. Instead of giving things, it's better to give money. They eat better than other boatmen, and others will feel malicious."

The village chief was taken aback for a moment, and then nodded vigorously: "Indeed, Yingtian Mansion is not Xuancheng County after all, it's better to be a village in Xuancheng, busy working all day to make money, forget how to do bad things."
