On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

The sky is especially blue after the rain and the air is fresher.

Xiao Lian drove the mule cart away from Jiang's house. First, Dongqing accompanied them to the carpenter's house. She asked the carpenter to see the pattern and shape she drew to make sure he was willing to make it, and then negotiated the price and quantity.

After finally paying a deposit of two cents and saying goodbye to Dongqing, Xiao Lian couldn't help pinching her arm: "Hey, it hurts. So I'm not dreaming?"

"Sister, you are lucky." Xiao Xiao, who had returned to playing shorts, sat on the shaft of the car with her: "We will accompany my grandfather to apply for household registration tomorrow."

Xiao Lian was excited and then worried: "What about the new house we bought?"

"We can only sell them cheaply." Xiao Xiao felt distressed when she thought of the mountains full of prey.

There are tigers, wolves, deer, foxes, rabbits, chickens, and wild muntjacs all over the mountains and plains.

That's not only delicious meat, but also free money?

It's a pity that there are many stupid people in the countryside. If I knew that their family could make pancakes, I'm afraid even the wall would be full of people.

Many people don't want to see others live well.

Or if you know what others rely on to make money, you will follow suit.

For the safety of his family, Xiao Xiao also felt that the countryside was not suitable for living.

Besides, the Xu family would not benefit from the confrontation between their own family and the third Xu family, which would invisibly lower their status in the village.

Moreover, it is not that no one dares to go against the Xu family. For example, the Li Zheng family and other families with many sons in the village cannot live together after they get married. As long as they lose more than ten taels or twenty taels of silver, someone will definitely buy them. .

Xiao Xiao breathed out: "But we are not in a hurry, we can rent a house first."

Anyway, now she also knows that no matter which dynasty or generation they belong to, a house has always been the lifelong goal of many ordinary people.

The house prices in Wuning County will definitely be several times higher than those in the countryside. Even if they spend all their private money, it won't be enough.

In this case, we can only rent a house first.

Of course, she also hoped in her heart that Magistrate Chen would be a generous person. In addition to registering with a "little effort", he could also give them a generous gift in private.

"What do you think Second Young Master Chen is doing?" Xiao Lian let the mule cart drive slowly and couldn't help but murmured to her: "You're telling us not to mention this matter? Do you think it's because you're afraid? We came here to ask for benefits? Are you trying to scare us?"

It's no wonder that she thinks the worst of people. Previously, Chen Erlang said that for their safety, he would let them forget about seeing him.

County Magistrate Chen also said that when the time comes, he will tell the public that Mr. Jiang asked him to help change the Xiao family's household registration.

Anyway, as I said before, the Xiao family saved Young Master Jiang.

Now it is normal for Mr. Jiang to help them.

Xiao Xiao reminded her in a low voice: "Don't forget what the second young master was wearing when we met him? I think it's better to keep this matter hidden."

"Anyway, we have benefited after all." Although Xiao Lian was a little regretful that she could not speak out about her great achievements, she was also more afraid of the danger: "I wonder if they will give you some money?"

Xiao Xiao also nodded with a bitter look on his face.

Looking at them horizontally and vertically, they don't look like noble people who regard money as dirt. Why don't they give more money?

Could it be that when they save someone in the future, they will threaten them: If you don't give them a lot of money, I will marry you and spend your family's money from now on.

She quickly shook her head to get rid of this shameful thought.

How could she expect to get something for nothing?

Besides, you can already make money? Although it is a little less now, it is still enough for the family to eat and drink. Moreover, there are hundreds of thousands of people in Wuning County. If the Xiao family can move in, they can start other businesses.

Anyway, making pancakes should be kept secret as much as possible. In addition, you can sell some food, otherwise it would be too conspicuous to buy lard every day.

The main reason is that now it seems that pancakes can be considered a huge profit business.

The sisters first sent the soap to Li Dong's family.

Li Dongjia was also very happy to deliver the goods with one hand and the money with the other, and also got a deal for them: "Old Sun came here earlier, and he also wants a hundred yuan of soap. Remember to send it to him tomorrow. "

"Thank you, Uncle Li." Xiao Lian was very happy when she heard this, and her mouth was as sweet as honey: "You are really a noble person to our sisters. Every time I see you, I do good things..."

Everyone doesn't like to hear good words. Li Dongjia also smiled happily and did not forget to inquire: "Can your soap supply be as fast as we can sell it?"

Xiao Xiao thought to herself: There are still more than 200 pieces of soap at home. If the box to hold the soap is not enough, more soap can be made.

The main reason is that they are becoming more and more skilled at doing it, and the soap in the wooden box now is still a little smaller than the soap in later generations.

One pot can produce fifty or sixty pieces of soap.

If you want to increase production, you have to buy one more pot.

However, these are business secrets and cannot be explained honestly. Xiao Xiao just asked questions and pretended to be stupid: "It should be possible, right? My mother is in charge of those things, and I didn't pay attention to them."

"But don't worry, Mr. Li, don't forget the well digger when you drink water. As long as you need it, we will definitely meet your needs first."

Li Dongjia believed it to be true, and did not expect that the little girl in front of him was fooling him. He also asked some indirect questions and felt that they were not supplying soap to other families for the time being, so he was satisfied and asked his wife to greet them.

Mrs. Li looked at the two young and pretty girls and asked them if they were engaged. She also asked about their family members and wanted to be a matchmaker for them: "I have many grandchildren from my mother's family and nephews from my husband's family. There are people who work as bookkeepers, and there are also people who open small shops, you..."

The enthusiastic salesmanship scared the Xiao sisters into running away.

He finally got away with the excuse of going to Buzhuang.

The two sisters still had to wait for Xiao Dalang here, so they could only squat at the intersection and gossip.

The Xiao sisters waited for a while before Xiao Dalang came running panting: "My father and uncle are fine. Have you been waiting for a long time? Did you get caught in the rain earlier? Why are you waiting outside?"

Of course Xiao Xiao would not say that they were scared away, so he said calmly: "They just came out a short time ago."

"Can my father adapt?" Xiao Lian couldn't believe it: "I didn't expect that my grandparents could not do anything to my father. Now that he is doing hard labor, he can become a hard-working person?"

"Yes!" Xiao Dalang was too embarrassed to discredit his uncle, so he could only respond dryly.

Can he tell them that even though his uncle is doing hard labor, he is still cheating and cheating? Fortunately, Mr. Jiang said hello, and the uncle himself was good at pretending and was good at fishing in troubled waters.

If they want their uncle to be more diligent, they are overthinking it.

He also changed the subject: "Is everything going well on your side?"

Xiao Lian showed off excitedly: "It went very smoothly. Not only did I get the money after delivering the goods, but Sun Dong's family also has a big order for one hundred yuan of soap. We can get another two taels of silver tomorrow."

"That's great." Xiao Dalang was also very happy after hearing this: "Then we will come early tomorrow. After delivering the goods, we can also buy some pork suet and go back."
