Villager of Daming

Chapter 27 Glory Going Home Xuancheng Selection (Fourth Change)
Feng Gui brought a person from Xiaqiu Village back to the village, and he needed to take care of food and livestock.

The surrounding villages came to rent animals one after another, but they didn't want to rent them if they had a way, and they had to exchange them for grain.

Zhu Cheng is a young man, 20 years old, married the year before last. The child is two years old, but actually one year and three months old.

His daughter-in-law's family lives in Fuguang Village, and the other party rents animals, and he takes care of them.

Early in the morning, he put all the bundles on the animals, rented [-] mules, sent [-] mules, and rode two of them. All three members of his family went.

Just by chance, when I went back to my mother's house, my son-in-law came to the door, and the child was in my arms.

Before leaving, the child's grandmother chased him out, carrying a bunch of copper coins.

She handed it to her daughter-in-law: "Lan! The village is busy, and your father and I will not go there first. You give it to your mother-in-law. You are a married daughter-in-law, and you are not the water thrown by someone."

"Mom, there are too many." The daughter-in-law's eyes turned red.

"Not much, earn more money in the future, and then give it to them. The father-in-law and mother-in-law are good people. If you have a child, you will come over so far to take care of the confinement child.

His family brought a lot of things, even if life is hard, his family has money, so he can give it to us.

But don't talk about silly things, we may not be guarding the village if we talk about it, so remember it. "

The mother-in-law said and urged, the most important thing is to keep it secret.

The daughter-in-law nodded vigorously: "Mother, I won't tell if you kill me."

"Don't talk about whether you will die or not, be careful on the road, watch your sentences carefully, and obey your sentences!"

The mother-in-law said a few more words and waved her hand, each sentence was her grandson's baby name.

The family of three set off and walked for an hour and a half before reaching Fuguang Village.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, there were children playing and running into the village.

After a while, the head of the village came out with a smile on his face: "Are here so early? The road is hard, eh? Why are there two extra ends?"

"Uncle Fang, it's me, Xiao Lan, I'm going back to my mother's house, and I'm riding."

Back to the village, as a daughter-in-law to say hello.

"Yo! Xiaolan? It hasn't changed in two years." The village head recognized it.

People have indeed changed. They were thin and weak when they got married, but now they eat well, their faces are flushed, and they wear new silk clothes.

The villagers came to watch, and the married daughter of Fang Wu's family returned home. It was amazing, the clothes were really nice.

Fifteen mules were distributed, and Zhu Cheng and the others came to the door of Fang Wu's house.

As soon as the family of four got the news, they had to greet them when they went out, and they went to the place.

Two people in their 40s, a boy of [-] or [-], and a girl of [-] or [-].

"Sister, brother-in-law." The two children shouted.

"Young master is here." The mother-in-law looked at the two adults and stretched out her hand.

When the child was handed to her, she smiled and said, "Yuyu looks really white and strong, looking at her small arms and legs."

Zhu Cheng called his parents and carried things down from the mule.

"Grandpa, what are they?" the mother-in-law was curious.

"Mother, go in and talk." Her daughter winked.

Zhu Cheng took the child to move three times, tied up the mule, and the family entered the house and closed the door.

The package was placed on the bed, and the daughter-in-law opened one first, and took out rock sugar, malt sugar, white sugar, brown sugar, and sesame sugar.

Peel caramel first and give it to parents, then to younger brother and younger sister.

People from Fang Wu's family had maltose in their mouths, and surprise in their eyes, how could there be rock candy?A big bag weighs two catties.

Fang Lan continued to open the package, a sealed jar.

"Mother, there are twenty catties of rapeseed oil here, and we can cook and eat at home."

She said again and hit the next one.

Twenty catties of bacon, five air-dried chickens, four bolts of silk, twenty catties of salt, ten balls of acacia soap, ten catties of lard, and a set of tableware with eight plates, eight dishes and eight bowls.

In addition, there are fifty catties of ramie, thirty catties of cotton, five stewed bamboo rats, and one hundred eggs.

In the end, she took out a bunch of money, namely Yiguan, one thousand Wen, and put it on the bed: "When I came here, my mother-in-law chased it out and gave it to me. No matter how many things there are, it's better to have cash."

"Lan, your family is dying? I know you are rich in Xiaqiu Village, but..."

The mother is dazzled and frightened when she sees things.

My family lives normally and smoothly. These things can be exchanged for all the expenses of the family except food in the past two years.

Then there is still one thousand Wen, plus a large bag of sugar.

"Mother, my mother-in-law said, I am the daughter-in-law who married in, not the water thrown out by someone else.

What's more, if the family is rich, our Xiaqiu Village is rich, and we eat meat every day.

We work, and we keep half of the money we earn, and the other half are given to the village as ministers.

We use the envoy's money to eat big pot meals, keep our own money, and buy things from the village with money from the family.

Those two mules were brought by the village chief to carry water for our family, and they are calculated separately from the village, so we don’t pay for them. "

Fang Lan said happily, not caring about this.

"Xiaqiu Village is famous for its benevolence and righteousness. That's why I married you in the first place. Sir, you sit down, I will cook for you, and you and your father have some wine."

The perception of the mother-in-law has changed. Xiaqiu Village is rich, but not ordinary rich.

Zhu Cheng hurriedly stopped him, pointing to the two unopened packages next to him: "Mom, you don't need to cook, I brought them from home."

The package was opened, and there was a basket with a lid, which contained sheets of shortbread, sliced ​​bacon, sliced ​​cucumber, green onion, and coriander.

Plus fried black bean sauce, Wujin sauced beef and salted duck eggs.

The other contains a jar of ten catties of wine, wine cups, and wine bundles.

"Xiao Cheng, are you afraid that the family will not give you food?" The old man was a little unhappy.

"Father, I brought something new here for you to taste. You have never eaten this thing. The drinking utensils are for your filial piety. You usually drink medicinal wine."

Zhu Cheng said with a smile, according to the etiquette, you really shouldn't bring your own food to prevent others from cooking.

"Your village is really rich!" The old man laughed.

He really can't give such a meal unless he cooks what he brings.

"Uncle, why are you willing to kill cattle in the village?" The mother-in-law felt sorry for the cattle.

"The ones in the village can't be killed. There are always dead cows. When you see them, you buy them and come back to eat them." Zhu Cheng shook his head.

'Wow~~Wow~~~' The baby suddenly cried.

"Quick, look, are you hungry or peeing?"

The mother-in-law held the child and took the daughter to the next room.

The baby takes up both of these things, first change the diapers that he brought, the mother-in-law washes them immediately, and the daughter feeds them.

After a lot of busy work, when the baby settled down, the baby fell asleep, and everyone went to the table for dinner.

"You haven't quit breastfeeding yet?" the mother-in-law asked at this moment.

"Wait another two months, she doesn't need to be busy at home, and she can eat other things now."

Zhu Cheng responded, Hanhan said that it is okay to feed it for a few more months, otherwise it would have been cut off.

After the family had a good meal, they turned to Zhu Cheng to see how the animals were being used. His father-in-law brought two mules to carry water for his family.

……

On the first day of June, Zhu Yuanzhang went to the altar in the suburbs to pray for rain by stepping on the seven-star step.

It was estimated that it was just when it rained, and it rained lightly on the third day after Zhu Yuanzhang prayed for rain.

People in arid areas are relieved that it will be fine when it rains.

The people in Xiaqiu Village finally didn't need to water anymore, and Zhu Wentian freed up his hands to lead people to plant bamboo fungus.

After a heavy rain fell and the weather cleared, he started to make money and start a great business.

The reserves of stone alkali are sufficient, and there is no shortage of rapeseed oil.

The subsequent things are simple, making molds, choosing spices, and adding salt filtered with kaolin, as pure as possible.

Soaps and toilet soaps thus produced are hard, otherwise soft.

Zhu Wentian didn't think it was anything to show off, it was a necessary skill for anyone with modern knowledge.

Yes, it is normal.No, there is a problem.

The next step is to make... a washboard, which is used for washing clothes, which was not used before. It is either washed with silk, or knocked with a stick, stepped on, or rubbed with hands.

The villagers looked at what Hanhan had made, but they didn't know how to use it.

Zhu Wentian gestured and introduced: "Scent, wash hands, not smell, clothes, board, rub."

After hearing this, the villagers smiled and expressed their understanding. Those who wash people with soap, and those who wash clothes with soap, use this board to rub.

Try it, someone brought out the wooden basin, found dirty clothes, and washed them on the spot.

"It's clean, it's really clean, fast, it's better than saponin, and it's a good board."

After washing a piece of clothing, everyone looks at it and gives an evaluation.

Next came the question of how to sell it. The village chief picked up a piece of soap: "Isn't it dangerous to sell this?"

"No, it's for sale, it's different, but..."

"That's all." The chief said out with help.

"Yes, hehehehehe." Zhu Wentian is very dedicated, and he is still trying to maintain his personality.

"Then how much is it going to sell for?" The village chief was going to make the village rich.

However, all the money earned from this soap is the envoy's money, and the villagers don't spend any money on using the soap themselves, and the money from selling the soap has nothing to do with the villagers.

Zhu Wentian: "..."

He nodded: "First of all, let's talk about who likes to use soap, soap is used by villagers, and soap is necessary for takeout.

Now our Daming has soap beans and balls of scented soap, it is really impossible to wash things with plant ash.

Ordinary people will not buy our soap unless the soap is cheaper than plant ash.

Rich people don't buy unscented soaps, so we just make money from the rich and sell scented soaps.

Calculated according to the size, the price of the same large soap and the fragrant round soap made of acacia should be five times that. "

"Sure, let's make a few hundred yuan first, until..." the chief hesitated.

"Xuancheng, the position of the city secretary in Dangtu County is too small, and the people in Xuancheng County and Ningguo Mansion have absolute interests involved with us.

After the Ningguo Mansion reported our rock sugar production methods and farming matters, the relationship with us was different.

In the past, we could inquire about the results of their reporting, in case there is a reward! "

Zhu Wentian analyzed to the chief that the village and Ningguo Mansion were not only bound by economic interests, but also political interests.

The chief patted Hanhan's head: "You're right, I'll take you there tomorrow morning, where do you live tonight?"

"Saitang, hehehe!" Zhu Wentian considered the distance and chose the closest place.

The head of the village shook his head, looking for someone to arrange for tomorrow's trip.

Before dawn the next day, the head of the village went to the sacrificial hall to wake up Hanhan, had breakfast, and the team set off.

Bring 600 yuan soap and 100 yuan soap, sickle, bamboo spear, food.

A total of ten cars and fifty villagers in good health. After selling soap, they wanted to buy something, fearing that they would be robbed on the road.

　Everyone vote!Thanks!
