Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Fang Da lowered his eyes and nodded slowly, "If you have time, talk to your second brother more and see if your second brother wants to open a grain store together. If it works, we can open it next year."

What do you want to do? His surname is not Fang.

"The shop is Sanya's dowry."

"Who wants a shop?" Fang Dazhen was really pissed off by his sister and his wife, "She dares to give it, but who dares to ask for it? I'm just asking your second brother if he wants to open a grain shop.

If you want to open a big grain store, I won't be able to do it alone. Your second brother is different. As long as Mr. Wang (Shopkeeper Wang) says hello to others, you won't have to worry about bad business. "

Gu Laosi wanted to shake his head immediately, frowned and hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "You don't need to ask, I can guess that my second brother refused without thinking.

My second brother is such a smart person. As you said just now, even Mr. Zhao has contacts with him. If he wants to open a shop, he won't have to worry about not being able to borrow money.

My father was so scared of him. A few days ago, my third brother asked my second brother if he wanted to open a shop in partnership with his eldest brother, which frightened him so much that his face changed.

Besides, didn't you mean that Sanya bought a lot of fields, plus Huniu's dowry fields, so even if we hire long-term workers, my second brother will still have to take care of them.

Now he is the only one with free time in his family. Think about it, did Sanya hand over the transfer of the shop to my second brother today?

His two daughters-in-law are different from others. They are not afraid of the partiality of their parents-in-law. They even bought servants to serve them as if they were afraid of burdening them. "

"Hey, how can a big man spend his own daughter-in-law's dowry on his daughter-in-law's dowry? You should ask first and hear what he has to say." Otherwise, Fang Da would not know what to say.

"Okay, I'll find my second brother when I return to the village tomorrow." Gu Laosi agreed quickly, thinking that his brother-in-law didn't take his words seriously.

He still doesn’t know what his second brother’s temperament is. Not to mention three companies opening a grain store in partnership, even just partnering with him, a brother, would be useless.

It's all in vain to ask.

However, Sanya, whom the brother-in-law just mentioned, also bought the piece of land in Xiaolinzi. The land registered with the county government was not a field that he wanted to open up wasteland. What was he buying it for?

You can't just buy it with Sanya's endless money and want to build a big yard to live in.

After all, the yard where I live now was just bought, it is well-maintained and spacious, and I haven’t lived in it for long.

I need to find out more about this from my second brother to see what Sanya wants to do, and see if the young couple can promote him as an old uncle. It might be better than opening a grain store.

Gu Wenxuan didn't know that someone was already thinking about the couple. Even if he knew, he wouldn't worry. He really thought that the couple could take advantage of him.

The next day after resting, he started to wake up at dawn again as planned. He went to the village school during the day and went to Zhou Xiucai's house to attend tutoring classes and open a small stove in the evening.

It can be said that he has completely entered the study state of "turning his ears to nothing outside the window and focusing on studying the books of sages." Even Zhou Banxia has nothing to disturb him easily.

Of course, she is very busy herself.

In Xiao Baoya's words, my second sister-in-law is very good at embroidery.

Compared with the unfamiliar embroidery art when she first picked up a needle and thread, she is indeed more comfortable now and her work efficiency has been greatly improved.

It's just that embroidery is not much easier than studying. It also requires a high degree of concentration, which not only burns the brain, but also tests the eyesight, physical strength, and endurance.

Therefore, she adjusted her working hours, and embroidered for an hour and a half in the morning, an hour and a half in the afternoon, and another hour in the evening.

The rest of the time, for the sake of her eyesight, she didn't dare to be careless, so in the evening of that day, she started tinkering with a gadget.

A kitchen for cooking pig food in the backyard. On the simple square table, there are a dozen packages of medicinal materials such as cinnamon, anise, mint, mugwort leaves, etc. Zhou Banxia asked Gu Erlang to weigh a pound of saltpeter back from the medical clinic.

On one side of the table, there was a wooden board placed in the open space next to the wall, with hydrated lime, plant ash, and a pile of small wooden blocks hollowed out in the middle.

On the chopping board next to the stove were several drain baskets, a wooden plate, and the most conspicuous thing, a large lump of pork suet.

Zhou Banxia cut this twenty kilogram piece of pork suet into about one-inch pieces, poured it into a large iron pot, added a little water, and slowly cooked the pork suet.

After the twenty kilograms of pork suet was boiled in two iron pots, two large jars were filled. The fried oil residue was collected in a dustpan and hung on a wooden plate.

I can't hide it anymore.

At first, Mrs. Liu saw that it was getting dark, so she didn't light any candles or oil lamps in the west wing. She just thought that Zhou Banxia was tired from embroidering, so she finally decided to sit on the kang for a while.

After she registered the share of Luozi materials distributed today and the Luozi taken back, she felt something was wrong when she saw her eldest daughter-in-law coming in with her child in her arms.

Where is the old girl?

Even Xi'er, she didn't seem to see any trace of Xi'er.

One question?

Ma Shan is happy.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also had a little Changsuo. Before they reached the backyard, the little Changsuo smelled the delicious smell of meat and started to scream.

At this time, Xi'er lit the fire, Xiao Baoya started to help, and Zhou Banxia was pouring two or three kilograms of lard into the two iron pots for heating hot water.

Little Bao Ya held a stick in her little hands and used her strength to stir the milk in the wooden bucket filled with plant ash and water.

"Ok?"

"I don't know."

Zhou Banxia, ​​who was very happy, quickly took it and took a look, "Don't mention it, the mixing is good. Remember, the next step is filtering."

As she spoke, she began to filter the plant ash in the bucket with fine gauze to remove impurities, and then carried the much clearer plant ash water to the stove.

Slowly pour it into two iron pots and cook over low heat, stirring constantly.

In fact, the temperature required for the saponification reaction does not need to be very high, but the current conditions cannot be accurately controlled, so we can only roughly estimate the most suitable temperature.

When the estimated temperature was reached, one of the two iron pots took off the firewood and only used a little charcoal fire to control the heat, while the other continued to simmer slowly over a slow fire.

"What are you doing?" Mrs. Liu was afraid that she would shock her old daughter-in-law and get burned. She couldn't help but her eldest grandson had already called her aunt and aunt, "Mom, please do it. You can tell me what you are going to do next."

Xiaobaoya, who was eating the oily residue, smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law said that the player's family will know in a few days. Sister-in-law, I don't dare to give it to my eldest nephew for fear that he will choke. Come here."

Zhou Banxia did not refuse her mother-in-law's kindness. After all, the two iron pots were covered with a layer of light yellow viscous liquid, so she wanted her mother-in-law to help.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law scooped out the viscous liquid from the two iron pots and poured them into a pile of small wooden blocks with a hollowed out middle and two large wooden blocks.

At the same time, Mrs. Liu finally saw that flowers were carved into the hollowed out areas of these small and large wooden blocks, not just hollowed out inside.

But, what the hell is this thing? Just lay it out like this and let it dry?

"It's a pancake, but I don't know if it's ready or not. It needs to be left to dry slowly. It's lumpy. Let's compare it again and see if there's anything that needs to be improved."
